Believing Fewer Things

A short tip for modern sanity

In 2022 I wrote a book called Fire In The Rabbit Hole to hypothesize that the post-COVID “Truth Movement” was being controlled by an anti-intellectual conspiracy posing as alternative media; a false “awakening” of the ignorant masses initiating them into cults. Ultimately I connected these various psyops into a bigger picture called the Aquarian Conspiracy, named after the book by Marilyn Ferguson.

In the three years since, I’ve seen these psyops take some interesting directions and ultimately stumble. They have been weakened. I credit Substack and TikTok for that, and I’m proud to say I helped expose them early, raising an alarm so that people knew what to look for. The discourse around conspiracy theories has been salvaged from the worst influences—that is, occult mysticism, flat earth, sacred geometry, UFO cults, and drug culture. Although it may seem hard to believe now, for a while these movements were growing at a rapid pace and converging into a New Age fantasy world. They are still lurking around and seeking to grow, as seen in the ridiculous hoax of giant underground pyramid structures. Remember that the Theosophical Society has always been obsessed with Egyptian occultism. On this point, let’s see a quote from co-founder Col. Henry Olcott:

The choice of a name for the Society was, of course, a question for grave discussion in Committee. Several were suggested, among them, if I recollect aright, the Egyptological, the Hermetic, the Rosicrucian, etc., but none seemed just the thing. At last, in turning over the leaves of the Dictionary, one of us came across the word “Theosophy,” whereupon, after discussion, we unanimously agreed that that was the best of all; since it both expressed the esoteric truth we wished to reach and covered the ground of Felt’s methods of occult scientific research …

Oh, how many lies are still floating around from the late 1800s! It seems we will never escape them. They go quiet, adapt, and come back again. That’s what I suspect is going to happen again soon. So the message of Fire In The Rabbit Hole remains urgent: believe fewer things.

We should be adamantly neutral on more topics, refusing to get pulled into any camp. We should reserve judgment. We should be skeptical of every side. Everyone else will be polarized and split into different camps. Not everything needs to be a conspiracy theory, a plot, a scheme, a Rockefeller agenda, or a secret delivery system for poison.

What are the benefits of being undecided on more controversies? For one, it allows us to enjoy the small comforts of our own daily life more, and appreciate the goodness of a modern life. I enjoy fast food, tap water, air conditioning, shampoo, and store bought vegetables. I don’t feel the need to live off the grid and escape the Matrix, because I’m not a paranoid wreck who hallucinates death everywhere. Why? Because I believe God has my back. My life is in His hands, not the conspiracy. And guess what? Even so, I’m going to suffer and die eventually. My fate will be exactly what He wants, not what I determine. If God wants me to get cancer, I’ll get it, even if I take all of the healthy advice I can find online. And when I die, big deal! I’ll be with my Creator.

When you believe fewer things, you fear less. You rid yourself of both anxiety and false hopes. You can take things as they come more easily. Jesus put it perfectly:

“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Sufficient to the day is its own trouble.”

—Matthew 6:34

Vaccines, nanomachines, 5G, chemtrails, etc. may very well be a clear and present danger, which is why I generally try to reduce my exposure to them. The same may be true for fluoride, dyed clothes, microplastics, and everything else that exists. At some point you have to have faith in God and just go live life. God can raise the dead and cure sickness, so I’m not that worried about my health. I think the much bigger damage is done by stress, anxiety, obsession, and neurosis.

This also applies to relationships. If you’re single, don’t worry about getting married. If you’re married, don’t try to get divorced. Paul told us this 2,000 years ago:

(1 Corinthians 7:8-11) To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is good for them to remain single, as I am. But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion. To the married I give this charge (not I, but the Lord): the wife should not separate from her husband (but if she does, she should remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband), and the husband should not divorce his wife. … I think that in view of the present distress it is good for a person to remain as he is. Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be free. Are you free from a wife? Do not seek a wife. But if you do marry, you have not sinned, and if a betrothed woman marries, she has not sinned. Yet those who marry will have worldly troubles, and I would spare you that. … I want you to be free from anxieties. The unmarried man is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to please the Lord. But the married man is anxious about worldly things, how to please his wife, and his interests are divided. And the unmarried or betrothed woman is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to be holy in body and spirit. But the married woman is anxious about worldly things, how to please her husband. I say this for your own benefit, not to lay any restraint upon you, but to promote good order and to secure your undivided devotion to the Lord.

Freedom from anxiety is important for Christians. We should not be distracted and divided in our attention.

And the same applies to world events. Is there going to be a World War III with full-scale mobilization of the military? Probably. How is it going to affect you personally? You don’t know. You can’t know the future. Your role as a servant in the Kingdom of God does not change, no matter what happens. Even the “important things” like money, marriage, and war are not important compared to serving God from day to day, in our own little way. This life is not about our prosperity, but about service.

Conclusion

There is a reason why Satan and his conspiracy want to inject as much fear, division, and anxiety into our lives as possible. There is a reason why they want to draw us into cults that fixate on theories that are impossible to prove.

It is perfectly acceptable to research obscure topics and think about the conspiracies that might be happening. I would be a hypocrite if I said otherwise! But once you have looked into a topic, what do you do with that information? How deeply are you allowing it to define who you are? I think that we should have our own theories and guesses about what’s happening in the world, and talk about them and give our arguments. But in the end, our core beliefs should be small and sacred, the Gospel and the hope in Jesus Christ, and then the doctrine of the New Testament and theology. But the further we extend our ideas beyond that foundation, the more prepared we should be to abandon a theory and return to the basics.

It is not healthy to take a position on every subject. It is not wise to group everyone into categories based on ideology. We have more in common than we think, and most people who talk a lot are out of their depth and only posturing as an expert. Be interested in the world, but be interested from a distance. Watch for the possibility of deception within the “truth” you find.
