Initials

In the song "Initials" there is a line that goes "You're the architect of lies, even in the bluest skies". Yesterday I noticed something about the way YouTube works and it's actually quite disturbing, the level of manipulation and mind control these organisations are attempting on the population through their algorithms.

I was scrolling my YouTube homepage and noticed a channel with the word 'Architect' in the channel name. The thumbnail had the text "The Big Lie" on it. I probably would've missed this had I not made public the short for "Initials" just a few hours earlier, so the lyrics of the song were fresh in my head. Later, I was scrolling again and noticed another channel name with 'Architect' in it on my feed. I realised the algorithm seems to be analysing the content of whatever you post and feeding back to you content that relates to this. Effectively, this means they are keeping you in a loop, within a bubble of your own-making, so you never expand outside that construct to come across new, fresh content that could expand your worldview. I became aware of this on Twitter/X, which is one of the reasons I left, because it was so obvious there, but the way YouTube seems to do it is much more subtle. We can't say at this time what that is doing to peoples' minds but I wouldn't think it's having a positive effect because it's not the way things naturally work.

In the real world synchronicities have their own way of showing up in your life and it doesn't keep you locked into a restrictive loop like this because true synchronicity is freeing and empowering.

Another thing I've noticed with YouTube, for quite a while now, is the way they are targeting spiritual people by pandering to them and making them feel special. There are already many human-operated channels I've seen who are blatantly playing on the gullibility and openness (and desperation) of spiritual seekers but now there is a flood of AI-generated channels doing the same in a more subtle manner. These are usually designed to entrap you into reducing yourself to a 'personality type'. They will often use past prominent figures like Carl Jung or Alan Watts and literally put words into their mouths to give the information some credibility. A list of traits will be mentioned so that you go "ahh yes, that's like me" and what they want is for you to eventually settle on defining yourself as some personality type when in truth, you are consciousness beyond any personality type. The system hates this as it can't control that consciousness, it can only control beliefs.

The cleverness and cunning of this manipulation is quite something, and typically, they use inversion when you call them out. Again and again over the years I've had people try to imply it's just cleverness on my part when I point these things out. So determined are they to deny my direct experience and the transformation I went through that they attempt to play it off as a clever ego, which is exactly the very thing they are doing with all this fake spirituality everywhere. My insights don't come from thought but from clear, direct seeing. There's nothing special about it. Most don't see it because they are too desperate to surround themselves with friends, to fit in, to be liked or loved, to be part of some group, to belong to something that they override their own instincts and internal compass.
