“A lot of people who woke up by questioning official culture and official narratives have fallen deep into the rabbit hole of conspiracies.

Obviously, there are conspiracies, but some people dove head on into it, and their whole focus remained completely external; suddenly everything became a psyop.

Everything is a trap, everything is scripted, but this too can be a trauma response, a kind of schizoid split rooted in hypervigilance and paranoia, because of the shock taking a negative turn.

It led to more disembodiment, dissociating, especially black and white thinking, meaning an inability to see nuance in events or in people. A highly dysregulated nervous system can also be a fear response in itself; it’s the black pilled mindset.

There’s a focus on endless exposure to how corrupt and evil the world is that leads to being stuck in a doom-and-gloom mindset. But others who were awakened used the shock differently. They didn’t just question the system, get into conspiracies, do external research and all that; they started questioning themselves.

They put the mirror on themselves, and that’s an appropriate use for a shock like that. They questioned their life choices, relationships, attachments, and their real purpose.

They asked the ultimate question, “Who am I in all of this? Why do I want what I want? What are my goals, or what is my aim? Why am I here? What is my life really about?”

For them, the shock became a disillusionment of their own lives, their own personality structure and identity, because disillusionment is a necessity on the path to awakening.

All spiritual traditions have talked about the death of the conditioned, wounded, or programmed ego personality that then opens the way towards a deeper level of awakening.”
