@wanda102 I can think of a few reasons. Habit, fear, and comfort all come to mind right off the bat.

@bcbishop Duuuudddeee. I couldn’t agree more. I think we are circling back to the focus on the individual, something I feel like has been pushed at us for a long time. But humans are pack animals. They find comfort in groups. What if the goal is to get us to hate each other? To split and divide until there’s nothing left, except as you say, how…[Read more]

@bcbishop I’ve been waiting for the factions to all break down. I think we are starting to be shown who people are, and at the end of that little learning exercise, the allegiances will be no more. If you’re right, then this is all about to show us how dark we can really be.

More “similarities” to Russell’s message after the whole locked in Mike’s basement incident. (Post: https://thelustexperience.com/forums/topic/calls-from-mason/#post-26539)

Russell said it. About Mike. Dun dun dun.

@mike What’s been going on the last few days? How are you?

I definitely don’t think he quit anything. He threw away the symbols that we associate with him. “I’m Free” as the song last night could be just that. If he has gone “off script”, I’d like to know who put him on script in the first place. Who put him in the costume? I really don’t think he quit. I think he’s recalibrating. So far, we’ve seen h…[Read more]

The message not being for us makes me wonder how long this has been going on. We have one message that apparently is for someone else, being delivered through us, through the patterns that we’ve come to expect and look for. Are there others? Are the other things we’ve been told lately that have seemed off that could have been for someone else ent…[Read more]

@izryn I was hoping you were going to bring this over. This is such an interesting idea. We’ve been so paranoid about “plants”, but what if you’re right? The plants we’ve been on alert for have been in the participant world, but what if that extends farther? What if we’ve been staring at the “king” the whole time?

The quote from the second image is from The Art of War. It’s in chapter three, which is about strategy. I’ve always thought of “know your enemy” as more of a “know who the real enemy is”. Who is really pulling the strings? It’s almost never who is actually on the battlefield. The first quote talking about who the “top” is answering to seems very…[Read more]

The quote is referenced in Nicomachean Ethics in Book 9, Chapter 10. In that, he categorizes friendships into three categories: “Friends made with a view to utility”, “Friends made with a view to pleasure”, and “Good friends.” But, Aristotle never actually said these words. The idea is attributed to him from Ch. 10 where he talks about the “good f…[Read more]

This could be the dot connection that so many of us have been looking for. Admitting to this level of manipulation opens up a whole host of questions, including why, but I think that could all just come back to what they’ve been doing since last year. They want our emotions. They want our reactions. So much conflict was created with the different…[Read more]

Here’s the thing that’s bugging me. Brad and Mike at a table together? Mike whispering into Brad’s ear as he’s leaving?

Brad is 100% BOS. Mike is 100% NOT BOS, and also 100% Team Argyle. These two, seemingly, working together is incredibly suspicious.

I’ve watched this a couple of times and just keep staring at his face. He really doesn’t look the way I would expect him to look if he just learned that Joyce was actually alive. He’s not smiling, he’s not excited, he does not look happy. The look of disbelief is there, but there’s no joy lumped in.

Then A shows up in Slack, starts deleting shit, tells us we are “becoming distracted with fairytales”, and encourages us to keep believing Joyce is dead.

Who, then, ARE the real powers that be… and what did they want to do to us?

Initial response: THIS THIS THIS.
Secondary response: Uuuhhhh. Shit.
