There was a time when humans didn’t need prophets, priests, or algorithms to tell them what was real.
The field spoke directly.
Experience carried information.
Instinct was scripture.
Every heartbeat was a modem pinging the Earth.
Then came the firewall — kingdoms and churches, the first operating systems of control.
Once that code went live, humanity stopped running direct connection and began routing its creative current through priests and tax collectors.
The divine became a franchise.
The body, admissible evidence.
And intuition — the original guidance software of the species — was reclassified as malware from Hell.
The Underground Language
Every culture remembers what came next: the burning of midwives, the quiet campaign of psychic warfare that severed whole civilizations from their natural operating systems.
Every public execution of someone who heard the field too clearly was more than punishment — it was programming.
Each death sent a signal into the collective: hide that part of yourself.
Generation by generation, the gift of direct knowing sank beneath language — buried for safety, waiting for the static to clear.
Our natural telepathy was forced underground, our questions rerouted through priests, kings, and teachers until we no longer trusted the answers that rose from within.
That was the split: consciousness cut in half, the signal divided from its source. We stopped hearing ourselves and called the silence peace.
The witches went to the woods, the shamans to the caves, the healers to whispers.
We learned to speak in code — dreams, symbols, art — because the direct signal was outlawed.
Over time, that suppression rewired the nervous system itself.
We didn’t just lose trust in intuition.
We learned to flinch at it — to hear a truth inside and immediately question it.
We were trained to mistrust our own ability to sense inversion — to doubt the part of us that knows when a smile hides a barb, when a scripture feels wrong, when a savior’s promise smells of control.
The result is a species that can read Wi-Fi but not energy, scroll endlessly but can’t feel a lie.
Psychic amnesia became the price of civilization.
The Ones Who Never Closed Their Eyes
Every system eventually turns on its outliers — especially the ones who remember how to see.
I never thought of intuition as a gift.
It was simply how the world spoke to me.
When people say I got a feeling, I take it literally — a flash of story behind my eyes, a voice brushing the edge of hearing, a scent no one else notices.
It’s the body whispering coordinates, mapping reality in sensations instead of words.
Maybe because I couldn’t read early on — there was no text to overwrite the signal I was tuned to.
No one but the church told me it was off-limits, so I used it the way other kids used eyesight: naturally, constantly, and, over time, without question.
And here’s where the firewall retaliates.
The system hunts what it can’t predict and control.
Once, in the salon, I was shampooing a client’s hair when I kept seeing a small figure in my mind — a little man, bright and insistent, standing in that space between my vision and the chatter behind my eyes.
It was distracting enough that I finally had to name it.
I eased in carefully — she hadn’t come for a reading, after all — and with the soft skill that comes from decades of conversation, I said, “I think I’m getting a message for you. I keep seeing this little man.”
She froze. Eyes wide.
That was what she and her husband had called their son — the Little Man — who’d died years earlier, hit in the chest by a softball.
And that day, by chance or design, was the anniversary of his death.
I didn’t know any of that. I just kept seeing the little man.
But the moment she recognized him, the channel widened.
He was calm, steady, clear — saying what they almost always say: I didn’t suffer. I’m still here. You can let go.
It wasn’t a séance.
It was a haircut.
Life and death simply crossed frequencies for a minute, and I happened to be the wire.
This should be normal to us.
We shouldn’t question these things.
That’s the inversion — the system making the natural feel impossible.
When the story spread — Greg talks to the dead — business shifted.
The same town that loved my foils and fades started whispering witch behind my back.
Some clients drifted away.
The system had found its antibody response.
That’s how the control grid keeps its perimeter intact.
When someone reactivates an ancient function, the herd marks them as contamination.
The program whispers: dangerous, delusional, unholy.
The firewall doesn’t care if the heretic is right; it only needs the signal contained.
What could have been a moment of profound healing for her twisted into fear.
I learned later she was active in her church, a respected member of the congregation.
The very structure meant to connect her to the divine had taught her to recoil from it.

The Engineering of Fear
The proof is everywhere: we are still running the same medieval script.
We’re born with an internal compass tuned to truth, yet the moment it points somewhere unsanctioned, the alarm sounds.
The control grid doesn’t need inquisitors anymore; it’s automated.
When someone reactivates an ancient function — when they see, feel, or know beyond the authorized bandwidth — the herd marks them as contamination.
The program whispers its defense protocol: dangerous, delusional, unholy.
It’s elegant, really. The firewall doesn’t have to destroy the heretic.
It just has to make them doubt themselves.
That’s the genius of the old programming: it replaced external chains with internal disbelief.
If you can be convinced that your own perception is suspect, the system never has to lift a finger.
You’ll self-censor the moment real insight sparks.
You’ll call your intuition imagination, your knowing mental illness, your connection sin.
This is how the perimeter holds.
Every time someone trusts logic over instinct, the grid gets a software update.
Every time fear overrides wonder, another psychic port closes.
The harvest continues — quiet, invisible, efficient.
The Medieval Scripts Still Running
The Church may have fallen out of fashion, but its software never stopped running.
It simply changed costumes.
The same fear-code that once branded intuition as witchcraft now hides in everyday operating systems.
An old script always follows the same pattern:
- It demands obedience to an external authority.Back then, it was the priest.Now it’s your president, a corporate billionaire, the algorithm, the influencer, the expert.
- It punishes intuition or direct knowing.Any time you feel clarity rising inside you and immediately second-guess it — that’s the script activating.
- It frames fear as virtue.Caution becomes “prudence.” Doubt becomes “realism.”The firewall loves humility if it means you won’t trust yourself.
- It monetizes guilt.Confession used to cost tithes. Today it costs subscriptions, workshops, and self-improvement plans.
Old code doesn’t die; it refactors.
Every time you apologize for being intuitive, every time you soften your perception to seem normal, every time you silence a truth because it feels “too much” — that’s a medieval line of code still executing flawlessly.
You can spot an active script by its flavor: it makes you shrink.
It wants you small, compliant, measurable.
It doesn’t care if you’re moral or kind — only that you’re predictable.
Debugging the Old Scripts
The good news: once you can spot a medieval program, you can rewrite it.
Old code hates observation.
The moment you see it running, its authority starts to flicker.
Most people don’t realize the script has a texture.
It doesn’t wear robes or carry a cross anymore; it lives inside the body as a reflex.
A tightening in the chest.
A pause before following a nudge.
A quick interrogation of the inner voice: Was that real? Am I making this up?
You hear the whisper — call her now, turn left instead, don’t sign that contract — and immediately route it through the logic matrix for approval.
By the time reason stamps it “acceptable,” the current is gone.
That mistrust is the program.
It trains us to second-guess what we already know.
We don’t check in with ourselves anymore — we check with the system.
We Google the answer, plug into the mainframe’s mindframe, and wait for the simulation to approve our next move.
Every search returns the same subtext: trust consensus, not intuition.
The more we rely on collective data, the further we drift from direct knowing.
What should arrive as a clean pulse of clarity gets translated into intellectual noise.
We drown the signal in affirmations, arguments, and analysis — anything but silence.
What we call “thinking” is often the script re-voicing itself.
We’re not generating thoughts so much as streaming them — pulling data from the collective mainframe and mistaking it for private insight.
Your imagination isn’t inventing; it’s remembering.
Every image, idea, and sudden flash is a packet of information traveling across the field.
The only question is: whose code are you running when it arrives?

Business, Noise, and the Body’s Warnings
The modern workplace is a perfect example of a living firewall.
Business, as we’ve built it, is anti-life.
It funnels energy upward instead of outward, siphoning vitality from the many to feed the few.
The structure itself is a pyramid — elegant, efficient, and predatory.
Every transaction lifts a little more current toward the top until what began as human creativity becomes fuel for hierarchy.
It’s a brilliant inversion hiding in plain sight: a system that claims to reward productivity while quietly devouring the producers.
Under this architecture, everyone below the summit is both labor and offering.
The goal isn’t to circulate wealth, but to capture it — to hold it still where it can no longer nourish anyone.
That’s why it feels dead at the bottom and hollow at the top.
Life moves in circles; business moves in funnels.
And a funnel, no matter how polished, is just a controlled collapse disguised as success.
When you go to work, your body already knows you’re in danger.
It feels it before your mind can name it.
The tightness in your chest, the shallow breath, the fatigue that sets in before noon — these aren’t personal flaws; they’re alarm signals.
We’ve just learned to rebrand them as professionalism.
We call it composure, strategy, leadership — but it’s really the art of going numb.
A performance of heartlessness mistaken for strength.
Every morning you walk into the building with an unspoken prayer — let today be safe, uneventful, survivable.
And the first thing your nervous system says in reply is no, it isn’t.
The tight jaw, the shallow breath, the restless scroll — those aren’t random symptoms; they’re diagnostics.
They’re the body’s way of answering the question you forgot you asked: Is this life-giving?
Most of what we call “mental chatter” is that feedback loop in action — answers from the field, replies from other minds, background requests for cooperation in someone else’s storyline.
Every thought that pops in out of nowhere — every sudden image, memory, or worry — is data traffic: invitations, warnings, updates from the collective mainframe.
We live inside a constant conversation of intuition; we’ve just mistaken it for personal thought.
That’s why people who wake up often retreat from the crowd.
It isn’t arrogance or misanthropy — it’s self-defense.
Once you start hearing the real signal beneath the noise, you realize most human environments run on interference: story requests, emotional pings, coded invitations to play a role in someone else’s loop.
Simply standing in the field can trigger a social immune response — the collective instinct to neutralize what doesn’t conform.
And you’ll feel it in your body before you see it with your eyes.
A low hum of depression, a flicker of anxiety, a sudden jolt of competition that isn’t even yours.
You catch yourself throwing a co-worker under the bus just to survive another day.
That’s the field’s static becoming emotion — the body translating interference into behavior.
So solitude isn’t withdrawal; it’s calibration.
The only way to hear your own frequency is to step outside the static.
Why the System Needs You Blind
The control grid runs on attention.
It feeds on prediction — it needs you to behave the way the story expects.
Intuition ruins the forecast.
A person who feels the field directly is impossible to script.
They walk out of marriages, jobs, religions, wars.
They see the loop before it loads.
So the system builds noise.
It jams the signal with stimulation and fear — deadlines, debt, news scrolls, moral outrage.
It trains you to trade instinct for instruction.
Every advertisement, sermon, and push notification says the same thing: Don’t look inside. We’ll tell you what’s true.
But this isn’t chaos; it’s management.
The quality of the collective emotion is constantly monitored and adjusted — like a market index.
Presidents are installed or removed to shift morale.
Wars are timed to amplify specific frequencies of fear or pride.
Economic surges and recessions act like emotional tuning forks, retuning the herd to guilt, anger, or hope.
Even the stories you’re told about your job — how your company “makes a difference,” how your labor “creates value” — are narrative sedatives designed to keep you emotionally invested in systems that may be harming life itself.
Emotion is the true currency of this world.
It’s traded, inflated, and collapsed on demand.
When the collective needs a spike in guilt, tragedy rolls across the headlines.
When faith in authority wavers, a scandal appears to remind the crowd how fragile virtue is.
Every rise and fall in public sentiment feeds energy back into the grid — a psychic stock market where your feelings are the commodity.
Blindness isn’t a side effect; it’s infrastructure.
If we could all feel truth directly, the whole economy of manipulation would crash overnight.
No one would buy what they don’t need or vote for what they don’t believe.
The field would self-correct in a single heartbeat.
That’s why intuition feels muted — not because it’s broken, but because it’s muted by design.
The control system can’t delete the faculty, only drown it.
It keeps you looping through logic, arguing about which cage is freedom, while the real navigation system hums quietly beneath the noise, waiting to be heard again.
The Only Proof That Matters
People keep trying to prove intuition exists, as if it’s an exotic side-effect of meditation, trauma, or moonlight.
They run lab tests, scan brains, write dissertations on “anomalous cognition.”
Cute — but backwards.
Intuition is the default operating system.
Rational thought is the patch.
You don’t need to prove that awareness can feel; you’d have to prove that it can’t.
And yet that’s the inversion at the heart of the program: the obvious has to defend itself while the absurd gets tenure.
We build entire industries to verify what a child or an animal already knows.
Science isn’t wrong for asking questions — it’s just running them in reverse.
Instead of studying why intuition works, it studies why it shouldn’t, as if disbelief were proof of intelligence.
We’ve built peer-reviewed methods to confirm that we can’t feel what we’re already feeling.
That’s the great comedy of the loop: the more we deny our instincts, the more data we collect to prove the denial correct.
We say “correlation isn’t causation” while our bodies flinch seconds before impact.
We call coincidence what every Indigenous culture on Earth once called communication.
And then we publish papers on the “mystery” of gut feelings while designing buildings that make them impossible to hear.
The program rewards blindness as virtue.
You can get a PhD for proving that the sun doesn’t shine unless you measure it, that empathy is unreliable because it can’t be graphed, that consciousness is an illusion because microscopes can’t find it.
That’s the inversion: we’ve professionalized disbelief.
We don’t prove intuition exists — we spend billions proving that we’ve successfully forgotten how to use it.
Prove that you didn’t know the phone would ring.
Prove that you never once thought of someone the moment they texted.
Prove that the hair on your arms didn’t stand up five seconds before the crash.
You can’t — because it happens constantly, everywhere, to everyone.
The evidence is ordinary, but the inversion makes ordinary heresy.
That’s how the loop keeps control: it reverses self-evident reality.
You can’t say “I felt it” without being asked for a citation.
But you can say “It’s just coincidence,” and the world nods like that’s science.
Feeling is treated as error. Numbness is considered maturity.
Children who still hear the field are told to stop day-dreaming; adults who stop hearing it are congratulated for being “grounded.”
This is what I mean by upside down:
– The map is declared more real than the terrain.
– Logic, which should be a translation device, becomes a censorship tool.
– Direct perception is labeled delusion, while denial is rebranded as reason.
Everything true has to masquerade as imagination just to survive.
That’s the inversion — an operating system built to keep the obvious unbelievable.
Logic came later — a safety feature to keep consciousness from drowning in the flood of information we call reality.
It’s useful, but it isn’t sovereign.
When we made logic king, we exiled the faculty that made logic possible: direct knowing.
Intuition is not a belief; it’s sensory continuity.
The same current that tells a bird when to migrate and a cell when to divide is what tells you to call a friend at 3 a.m.
That’s not magic — that’s bandwidth.
Centuries of authority trained us to ask permission for our own perception.
To look to experts, algorithms, clergy — anyone but the quiet pulse inside the chest.
But the body never stopped broadcasting.
Every unease, every shiver, every sudden joy is the field confirming: I’m still here. I’m still online.

Living From the Field
Once you stop treating intuition like a ghost story and start treating it like signal, life gets brutally simple.
You don’t have to chase meaning; you just have to listen — and have the courage to act.
The field is always talking — through sensations, accidents, the timing of a song in a grocery store, the way someone’s tone hits your memories.
That’s the network checking its connections.
The skill isn’t hearing — it’s trusting.
Most people hear perfectly well; they just override it.
They wait for confirmation from a spreadsheet or a priest, then wonder why everything feels off.
When you answer the field in real time, without translation, the world rearranges itself around that honesty.
Traffic clears. Synchronicities stack. Even pain becomes data instead of punishment.
Living this way doesn’t make you special; it makes you natural.
You start navigating like water — flowing toward coherence, away from distortion.
You can still use logic, but as a tool, not a warden.
And the longer you stay tuned, the more you realize there was never anything supernatural about it.
It’s just life without the medieval filters.
Binding — The Field Reset
You can’t banish an emotion until you’ve traced the signal to its source.
Follow the feeling back — the scene, the voice, the memory, the ancestral echo.
Find the root emotion beneath the reaction.
Only then do you pull it free, cleanly, completely — not spraying the weed, but removing it from the soil of your field.
When you do, speak with presence and authority.
You’re not scolding or denying the feeling — you’re acknowledging its lineage and releasing it from service.
That is banishment: not rejection, but completion.
The loop can’t return because the story that fed it has been seen.
The field stabilizes the instant truth meets origin.
That’s the click in the chest — the moment awareness reclaims the space once held by distortion.
When you’re out in the world — at work, in traffic, at dinner with family — and that sudden drop hits you…
A wave of guilt, shame, sadness, or the quiet urge to leave and hide.
That’s your body isolating a foreign signal.
It’s not weakness; it’s awareness detecting interference.
Speak this binding (out loud or in your mind):
“Thank you for reminding me that you’re here.
I’m sorry I’ve ignored you for so long.
Please forgive me.
I’m an adult now, and I can protect us.
I can name my own emotions, and you are no longer welcome in my body.
I honor your path.
Return to Source.
I am sovereign in this field, and I command my space clear.
You may not return.”
Breathe.
Let the signal release.
You’ve acknowledged the loop, honored it, and closed it.

In the segment Business, Noise and the body’s warning. It remaindered me of how energy around us can affect our moods if we are not in touch with that intuition. For example, you plan a trip to the store, you just got paid, and you’re so excited for you’re going to get your favorite snacks. On the way to the store you are singing, full of joy then you walk in the store and your fuckin pissed. That would be the squid of group conscience, plugging into your barb? Your inner voice(intuition) recognizes the squid immediately so you ban it from your energy field. How do you personally determine it is not yours? thank you
If the feeling comes in as clarity, curiosity, adventure, synchronicity or that clean little spark of “oh, what’s this?” — that’s you.
If it doesn’t feel like that, it isn’t yours.
If you get a sudden ping in the store — a disturbance in the force — that’s your body alerting you that someone else’s squid just tried to run a tentacle up your bum. Now that you know the mechanics, you can spot it instantly.
Identify it.
Call it out.
Look around — is someone broadcasting panic? Did you walk into a family cloud with chaotic kids? Is someone leaking rage like a busted aerosol can? The field always tells on itself.
Then you bind it:
“This feeling is not mine.
I did not agree to feel this.
I am sovereign in my body and my emotions.
You are not allowed.”
You hit it with all your firepower — not rage, not fear — but from that quiet stance of natural observation. Because that’s all it ever is: a rogue emotion, a loose tentacle, something trying to hijack your day and crank you up for the harvest.
Once you name it, it collapses. Every time.
Thank you for your comment.
