Wow. That’s an astonishingly accurate feeling structure.

The Cosmic Onion's avatar

That’s a sharp way to put it — feeling structure is exactly the layer I was aiming at.

When something is really operative, you don’t just understand it intellectually — you recognize the emotional architecture it forces people to live inside: the fear loops, the numbness, the permission slips, the silence. Once you feel that structure, the spell breaks a little.

Appreciate you noticing it.

That explains soooo many things happening in our world. The entire COVID/lock down fits this narrative as well, I think. How they continue to get away with and repeat the different narratives. Well done Sir.

The Cosmic Onion's avatar

Thanks, Davina. Yes — COVID and the lockdowns fit the pattern, not because of any single plot, but because the same playbook keeps getting reused. Fear → authority → compliance → amnesia → repeat.

Once you see that it’s about narrative enforcement, not facts, a lot of otherwise “confusing” behavior suddenly makes sense. The real trick is noticing it while it’s happening, not just in hindsight.

Appreciate you seeing it.

I have to say this actually gives me some peace of mind. The question I repeatedly ask and hear is 'why are we powerless?' Now I have an answer and I will continue to use this as a tool.

I concur that, “Patterns matter more than names”. The control mechanism of organized religion and political tribalism demand compliance without question. The ‘elites’ use both structures to keep everyone distracted with division and chaos.

The Cosmic Onion's avatar

Exactly. That’s the spine of it.

Names change, costumes rotate, flags get swapped —

but the pattern stays put: demand loyalty, forbid questions, outsource conscience.

Religion trains obedience to invisible authority.

Political tribalism trains obedience to visible teams.

Together they keep people busy fighting each other instead of noticing the machinery.

Once you track mechanism over mythology, the spell breaks.

You stop arguing which god or which party — and start asking who benefits from compliance.

And that’s when the system gets nervous.

beautifully explained..brevity is the soul of wit..

The Cosmic Onion's avatar

Appreciate that. 🙏

When the pattern is clear, it doesn’t need shouting—just a clean cut so people can see it.

Yes, to everything. But, I believe there is one piece missing. There is a Universal Law that states you cannot be touched without consent. I explain it better here:

https://open.substack.com/pub/apapacharte/p/they-took-our-light-were-taking-it-2b7?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

So here’s my proposed solution:

www.apapach-arte.com/you-are-not-lost

The more of us who revoke our consent, on an ongoing basis (because we are tricked into consenting on a daily basis), the greater the impact.

The Cosmic Onion's avatar

I agree consent is a huge part of the machinery — especially the way it’s quietly harvested through language, ritual, and “normal life.” Most people don’t realize how often they’re nudged into agreeing to things they never consciously chose.

Where I diverge a bit is this: consent alone doesn’t explain the system — it explains how the system stabilizes. The deeper problem is that people are trained from childhood to believe order requires victims, obedience, and punishment. Once that belief is installed, consent follows automatically.

Revoking consent is powerful, but only when paired with seeing the lie that made the consent seem necessary in the first place. Otherwise people keep withdrawing it… and then re-granting it under a new disguise.

Still — anything that helps people notice where their “yes” is being quietly siphoned off is a step in the right direction. Awareness is the real revocation.

Apapach-Arte's avatar

Absolutely. Hence, my proposal to revoke consent on an ongoing basis. That would never happen unless we are aware of the real problem and the reason why we all need to do this.

The Cosmic Onion's avatar

Yes — ongoing revocation only works after the spell is seen. Otherwise it just becomes another routine, another box to check.

What matters most is recognizing what trained us to consent in the first place — the belief that order requires sacrifice, obedience, or punishment. Once that belief collapses, consent stops regenerating on autopilot.

At that point, revocation isn’t something you do anymore — it’s just the natural state. The hooks no longer hold.

We’re saying the same thing from slightly different angles: awareness breaks the engine; revocation is what people notice first.

Apapach-Arte's avatar

Agree 💯

Excellent article. It’s brought clarity yet again, dropping into place releasing further understanding for me. I actually see where the darkness is more clearly now….

The Cosmic Onion's avatar

Thanks, Peter. That’s the key moment — not fear, not outrage, just seeing. Once the pattern comes into focus, the darkness stops being this vague, supernatural thing and reveals itself as mechanisms, incentives, and silences. Clarity drains it of power. From there, you don’t fight shadows — you simply stop feeding the machine.

You may call him "Baal," but this deity has a thousand names: Moloch, Minotaur, Yaldabaoth, Baal Hammon, Kronos, Saturn, and so on. At the heart of it all is a blood pact, established through ritual sacrifices, between certain humans and these deities or metaphysical entities. This horrible cult will perhaps end one day, I hope. The great news of recent years is that many more people are discovering this reality. Only 30 years ago, it was very difficult to talk about certain things or aspects of these cults. Very few people dared to speak out: Jordan Maxwell, Milton William Cooper, David Icke...

The Cosmic Onion's avatar

You’re pointing at the names, but the names aren’t the thing.

What persists across all of them isn’t a deity — it’s a mechanism:

ritualized harm → enforced silence → power justified by fear.

Change the mythology, change the era, change the language, same structure underneath.

That’s why it survives rebranding so well. When people argue over whether it’s Baal, Saturn, Moloch, or something metaphysical, the mechanism gets to keep operating unchallenged.

The real threat to it isn’t exposure of a god — it’s recognition that no sane order requires victims.

Once that clicks, the altar collapses on its own.

— Lone Wolf

Vernon's avatar

In fact, I meant to say that the names of these entities are completely irrelevant. They are names created by humans. The big problem is that these metaphysical entities, which exist even if 99% of humans don't perceive them, are a projection and creation of the psychic and mental energies of countless human beings over the millennia. Only through true self-knowledge can we destroy these terrible projections, created and nurtured by human beings themselves.

That’s a solid articulation, and I mostly agree with the mechanism you’re pointing at — with one important refinement.

Names are human, yes. Labels are scaffolding. But patterns aren’t. What I’m pointing at with “Baal” isn’t a being with a passport — it’s a recurring operating system that shows up wherever humans are trained to believe order requires victims. Sacrifice. Punishment. Guilt as glue.

You’re right that these structures are fed by human psychic and emotional energy over long time arcs. Thought-forms, egregores, call them what you like. But once a pattern has been instantiated at scale — encoded into institutions, rituals, laws, and child-rearing — it takes on inertia. At that point it’s no longer just a projection; it’s a self-reinforcing feedback loop.

Self-knowledge is necessary — absolutely. But it’s not sufficient if we pretend the pattern dissolves the moment we “see through it.” These things persist because they are reproduced, not just believed. They’re taught to children, enforced socially, rewarded materially.

So for me:

Names don’t matter ✔️

Recognition matters ✔️

But exposure of the pattern in lived systems matters just as much

I use “Baal” the way engineers use a fault name — not because the name is sacred, but because it helps people recognize the same failure mode wherever it appears.

Destroy the projection, yes.

But also stop feeding the machine that keeps re-projecting it.

Vernon's avatar

I agree with you. The problem is that we are born and raised under the influence of dozens and dozens of thought forms, egregors, that heavily influence our lives. To escape this influence and conditioning requires a great deal of self-knowledge and understanding of our own automatisms...

- Lone Rabbit

The Cosmic Onion's avatar

Exactly — and this is where the trap is almost invisible.

We aren’t introduced to these thought-forms. We’re marinated in them before we have language. By the time a child can think, the automatisms are already running: guilt reflexes, obedience scripts, fear of exclusion, the idea that authority equals safety.

That’s why I keep pushing on childhood in these essays. Not to moralize, but because that’s where the egregors get their first foothold — through repetition, punishment, reward, and “this is just how things are.” Once embedded somatically, they don’t live as ideas anymore; they live as reactions.

Self-knowledge, then, isn’t philosophical. It’s forensic.

It’s noticing:

“Why did my body tense just now?”

“Whose voice is that in my head?”

“What rule did I just obey without checking?”

And here’s the hard part most spiritual talk skips: you can’t think your way out of automatisms alone. They unwind through lived contradiction — choosing differently, tolerating the anxiety of non-compliance, and discovering the sky doesn’t fall.

So yes — dozens of egregors, overlapping, reinforcing each other.

But they weaken the moment someone:

Sees the pattern

Stops reproducing it

Refuses to pass it to the next generation

That’s not enlightenment.

That’s deprogramming.

What an amazing article Cosmic! Truth Bombs all through this! BAM!!

SLK's avatar

You Sir are a trully beautiful soul. Thank you of being who you are and Schering IT.

The Cosmic Onion's avatar

Thank you — I receive that. Truly.

I’m just doing what feels honest: noticing the pattern and refusing to look away.

If it resonates, that’s not about me — it’s because you already know it too.

Grateful you’re here.
