		<description>[...] Either way, they get to feed on fear, or on worship - both of which occur as a result of people mistaking their powers of illusion as actual reality, both of which seem to further fuel the illusion. The net result is that we either remain trapped repeating our lives endlessly, controlled by our own mistakes, which we are too scared to overcome. Or we feel as though we are evolving and ascending upward, but in reality, we have merely been caught in nets laid for us by predators who would feed off of us. [...]</description>

		<description>Couple related items of interest. Link at the Noble Realms forum about Don Juan and the predators, who feed off our life energy:

http://forum.noblerealms.org/viewtopic.php?pid=32780#p32780

Also included there is a piece by Robert Monroe about something called "loosh" which I think more or less translates to the Garmonbozia of Twin Peaks, see FP for more in that realm:

		<description>I don't mean to pigeon-hole my fellow Gnostics out there, but obviously the similarities between Gnosticism and the Matrix Trilogy are as obvious as they are brilliant.  At any rate, in Gnostic belief. . .I suppose we fuel the Archons, which feed off our energy....hence why they perpetuate the fear-based mentality that's permeated the world since the first day of day one.  It keeps "food" on the table.  I don't necessarily agree with this, but it makes a certain kind of sense.  Maybe the plants and animals that humans feed off of are only dimly aware of our existence, not to mention our intentions, and they're totally oblivious to the role they play in this world....even when they're shipped to the slaughter houses or harvested in factories.</description>

		<description>Did you ever read the Diadem books by any chance? "Young Adult" fantasy by John Peel. One of the main characters comes from a world where the people do live in total VR. They never leave their homes, never see their families in real time, and all their needs are met by robotic household appliances. For some reason (I foget why, it's been a while) the boy decides to leave his VR and go outside his home for the first time in his life, and he discovers a slave camp where the other half of the population is forced into producing everything the privileged classes need to survive in their VR worlds. Fascinating stuff.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;At this point, our money no longer refers to anything external or â€œrealâ€ out in the world. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

As you say later, it never did... At least the dollar didn't after it was de-linked to gold.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Itâ€™s a symbol of a symbol of symbol. Itâ€™s a reference to gold which is a reference to something precious which is something totally intangible.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Unfortunately, it's not even that any more.  It's whatever the Fed says it is.  It's value is determined by fiat.

Our whole First-World social experience is one giant simulacrum.</description>
