LIVE NOT IN OPPOSITION TO EVIL, BUT PURSUIT OF GOOD
The worst mistake I made when I first started to break free from the matrix of control was to rage against my old prison. I became obsessed with conspiratorial content in hopes I could find some magical macguffin-like piece of information I could use to convince others to see what I saw. Unfortunately, this only worked against me. Friends and family quickly became tired, then frustrated, with my constant harping. As I became more alienated and more disgusted with what I learned, I felt little motivation to be a productive member of society.
Waking up had given me the opportunity of a new lease on life, a chance to build a self determined future, and instead, I was obsessing over the prison I just escaped from. It was only after banging my head against that wall countless times that I was forced to realize the matrix of control was simply controlling me in a different way. Not by living to expose the matrix, but by building a good life would I be able to find true freedom and success.
OVERVIEW
This is the first best practice I wish to impart: live not in opposition to evil, but in pursuit of good. This is a tenet that can be applied to all of life, but is especially important for those of us who recognize the evil of the world and feel the urge to do something about it. We need to learn that it is not by tearing down the old world, but by building something new, a parallel society, that we will truly find a better future.
To paint a clear picture of this best practice, we will start by exploring how power structures, like the matrix of control, not only feed off the positive energy of their supporters, but also the negative energy of their detractors. From there, we will talk about the goal itself, a parallel life, and why this is the ideal for which we should strive. Finally, I will touch on Attunement and how focus on the good will enable you to better see the path forward.
PENDULUMS
In Vadim Zeland’s book Reality Transurfing, he introduces the analogy of the pendulum as a way to conceptualize the power structures around us. The matrix of control, just like a pendulum, gains energy from those who support it, but it also draws energy from those who fight against it. Attention, good or bad, will feed the pendulum’s momentum, increasing its control and effect.
This idea rings true and can be seen contained in aphorisms such as consummate showman P.T. Barnum’s quote: “There’s no such thing as bad publicity,” or the author Oscar Wilde’s take: “There’s only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.”
HOW TO FIGHT A PENDULUM
It would then follow that the best way to fight against destructive pendulums is not to give them negative energy, but simply to ignore them or treat them with indifference. Similar to blocking an ex’s number or turning off the news, the more you cut it out from your life, the less control it will have, and you can move onto other things. You also have limited energy, and it is best spent building the things you want as opposed to fighting the things you don’t.
There are, of course, times when destructive pendulums cannot be ignored. Or when we have gotten to a point where we are ready to help others. This is a topic I plan to dive much deeper on in the future as it warrants its own post, but suffice it to say that indifference, humor, and energy diffusion are the strategies I have found most effective to dampen the power of the matrix of control.
THE DANGER OF FIGHTING A PENDULUM
One of the key takeaways I am hoping you will walk away with is that fighting against the matrix of control without a developed understanding of effective strategy will not only be a futile effort, but also has the potential to feed the matrix while making your life worse. As I shared, my own crusade early on in my awakening resulted in the unnecessary destruction of multiple relationships and exacerbating my sense of powerlessness. Early in any game, it is best not try to fight the end boss, but focus on leveling up and becoming stronger.
PURSUE GOOD - THE PARALLEL LIFE
In the 1970s into the late 1980s, Ivan Jirous, a Czech artist opposed to the communist control of his country, started to write about the idea of a “Second Culture” or “Parallel Society”. Jirous proposed that instead of trying to fight within a system that was corrupt beyond repair, it would be better to build a parallel society that truly served the interests of the people. Jirous’ vision started in the artistic community and spread into many other aspects of the Czech society, ultimately becoming a key element in the successful Velvet Revolution in 1989 that saw an end to the communist government.
While you still need to exist in society, working a job, interacting with others, and engaging in the culture, Jirous’ idea of a parallel society can be applied on an individual level. You can slowly transition from activities that you now recognize as unhealthy to others that align with your new understanding, building a better life decoupled from the matrix of control. I plan to write extensively on what such a shift would look like, but it all starts with defining what a better life looks like to you, making a plan, and working on it over time.
I would also point out that the larger parallel society is already built and growing. Farms that produce high quality food through healthy farming practices, educational resources focused on learning and not indoctrination, and communities built on strong fundamental values. Not to mention currency systems free from central bank control, or markets built on open source technology. The group of people who see the matrix of control for what it is and wish to build their own lives has been around for a long time and is growing every day as more people wake up and seek a better life.

ATTUNEMENT
I am sure you have had the experience of buying a brand of clothing or car and suddenly you start to see that brand everywhere. It is not that the world around you did not contain those things before, it is simply that your lens through which you see the world is now more attuned to those things. Similarly, the ideas we hold in our mind will color how we interpret the world around us. This is the power of attunement.
Art, nature, and family can be untainted evil, among many other things that are created from a loving and free spirit. The more you think about the good you want in your life, the more you will not only see the pathway there, but also start to recognize the good in the world. Trust me when I say my brothers and sisters that there is more good than you might think in this world and that I have faith that good will prevail.
CONCLUSION
If you focus your life on the matrix of control, it will be everything you see. But instead, if you focus on building a good parallel life, we will see the path to a better life more clearly. To this end, we must orient our lives, not in opposition to evil, but in pursuit of good.
I encourage you to apply this practice to your life as you free yourself from the matrix of control and journey towards a future we will all decide together.
TAKEAWAYS
The matrix of control acts like a pendulum and will draw energy from both its supporters, but also its detractors.
Instead, we can ignore it as much as possible and focus our efforts on building positive parallel lives and being a part of the parallel society.
It is through attunement to these higher goals that we will start to see the good in the world and move towards a better future.
