ran across this the other day

and thought it was a good commentary

on our times.

 I just happened to see it)

What is mass psychosis?

It's when millions lose touch 

with reality at the same time.

Delusions replace truth.

And collective madness 

becomes the new "normal."

(Tell me it aint where we are right now.)

History is full of examples:

- The witch hunts of the 16th-17th centuries 

(whole villages wiped of women).

- The rise of totalitarian regimes in the 20th century.

Both were epidemics of the mind, not accidents.

When mass psychosis spreads, 

individuals change.

They become:

- More emotional, erratic, and irrational

- Willing to commit crimes they'd never attempt alone

- Blind to the reality of what's happening

(Tell me it aint happened already.)

The worst part?

Like a madman unaware of his madness... 

a society in mass psychosis 

cannot see its own delusion.

("Things will be better Martha.")

So how does it begin?

Step 1: Panic.

Flood people with fear and anxiety 

until they crave relief.

Fear of disease, fear of enemies, 

fear of collapse.

Step 2: The "solution."

When the fear is unbearable, 

people will accept 

delusions over reality.

They trade logic for lies...

(Who do you know

who is always talking about

faulty thinking?

Logic? Etc...?

and those lies 

create a false sense 

of order.

Step 3: 

Waves of terror.

Fear is never constant, 

it's pulsed.

Calm... then panic.

Calm... then more panic.

(These days those waves 

are stacked right on top of each other

Mathew 24:8

All these are the beginning of birth pains.)

Each wave 

softens the population 

for deeper control.

Step 4: Propaganda.

Contradictory reports.

Blatant lies.

Non-stop confusion.

(It's an environment

Satan craves.)

Logic can be fought with logic, 

confusion cannot.

(I do not not 

nor will I

engage with 

irrational people.

You wanna think

2+2=5?

You just go right ahead.

Have it your way.)

Step 5: Isolation.

Separate people from friends, 

families, and communities.

Alone, they lose the corrective force 

of positive examples.

Together, they might resist. 

Alone, they obey.

Step 6: 

Totalitarian control.

The rulers rise to near godlike status.

(Emperor Cult, Political Idolatry)

The people regress 

into childlike dependence.

Freedom is traded 

for "safety."

(The "Patriot Act",

their words BTW

and its increased surveillance

was a HUGE turning point.)

This isn't theory.

It happened in witch trials.

It happened under dictators.

And today, 

technology has made 

mass psychosis easier than ever.

(And with Artificial Intelligence

it is only going

to keep getting worse.)

Smartphones. 

Social media. 

24/7 propaganda feeds.

Fear travels faster than truth.

And distraction prevents reflection.

(And thats why 

"The Flood"

"The Waves"

of distraction just

keep coming faster and faster,

if you actually thought about it 

for a minute?

You would figure out whats up.)

But there is a counterattack.

- Spread truth, 

widely and relentlessly

- Use humor to mock demagogues

- Build parallel structures: 

communities, ideas, and systems 

outside control.

Above all: 

strengthen your own mind.

("None but ourselves

can free our minds"

A sane individual becomes a beacon.

One light can awaken many.

As Jung said: 

"The redeemer personality 

is the one who escapes 

the collective psychosis."

(And If they can?

You can too.

And you should already 

know how:

Accept truth.)

Mass psychosis doesn't begin with the rulers.

It begins with us, when we surrender thought, reflection, and courage.

Resisting it means reclaiming those things.

The mind is the battlefield.

And history proves: 

whoever controls perception, 

controls reality.

The question is, 

who controls yours?
