Reality-based simulations become stronger through AI-accelerated evolution, making the Satanic Matrix stronger and pushing humanity further up the Peak Evil scale. </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Because it requires mass-illusion to create mass-agreement, the Satanic Matrix also incorporates the metaphysical, albeit a negative or anti-human survival aspect of it. </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">On the physical level, the managers of the Satanic Matrix control the security agencies, military, police, courts, prisons, AI, treasury, supply chains, etc. If you took them on in a direct physical confrontation, you’d get squashed like a bug under a hydraulic press. </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Given the gross inequality of conflict dynamics, emphasis on metaphysical tactics seems logical. </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">If the system started cracking hard, then you’d see changes in power-dynamic ratio and physical/metaphysical weights-and-measures, but I’m speaking within the proximity of here-and-now. </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In the current environment, you need to hone instinct and intuition, especially as the simulated reality you receive from technology sources becomes more and more convincing. </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Hence, your spirit-animal. </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I’m not saying to worship the animal as a god. I’m simply advising you to study and incorporate its primary characteristics to help you better navigate the Satanic Matrix.  </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Like other archetypes and symbols, spirit-animals work best when plugged into the Tao interface that connects to Cosmic Intelligence. </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I recommend one primary spirit-animal with a possible secondary or third spirit-animal. </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As an aside, while spirit-animals can make great additions to an organization-club patch/ coat-of-arms/ or logo, that kind of imagery should ideally include a non-animal symbol(s) and or non-animal archetype(s) as well. </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Your spirit-animal is first and foremost for the real-world game. Image display is secondary. </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">You should also have 1 to 3 non-animal symbols that plug into Cosmic Intelligence. However, symbols are a topic for another newsletter. </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">While your primary spirit-animal represents your main attributes or ones you want to emulate, it needs to be true to who you are. </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Many people choose apex predators, like lions, tigers, eagles, or wolves. However, if that’s not you, don’t go with them, as it won’t be real for you and thus won’t work optimally. </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The owl represents wisdom, but he also knows how to handle his business. His skills come out in the dark. Do you seek wisdom? Do you hunt or function better outside the normal 9-5 daytime world? Do you require night-vision in a world of metaphorical darkness? If so, the owl might be for you. </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The sonar-guided bat also excels at navigating confusing simulations and metaphorical darkness. </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I don’t recommend going over three spirit animals, as that would spread out and weaken the spirit-animal traits. In some cases, a single spirit animal is better than two or three. </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">If you’re using more than one spirit animal, I recommend pairing it with an animal that possesses opposite yet complementary traits. For example, if your primary spirit animal is a lion, why not choose a field mouse as your secondary? If you’re facing an unassailable army alone, it might be better to find a small hole to hide in until the danger passes. If you encounter a small scouting party who strayed from their battalion- switch from field mouse to lion. </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Apex carnivores and apex herbivores make excellent pairings, e.g., lion and gorilla.  </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The snake works well with carnivore and herbivore mammals. If it’s snake, are you rattlesnake, cobra, or Garter snake? Perhaps boa constrictor? </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">About 10 years ago, before discovering Tao, I spotted a large black rat down in the subway. When I moved a bit closer to get a better look, it darted straight at me. I jumped in the air and it shot right under my feet. Yes, I got punked by a rat. </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In most city neighborhoods, regardless of socioeconomic level, rats scurry back and forth between the curbside trash and buildings. Now, when a rat runs in front of me, I pause and say, “Hi, Mr. Rat,” giving him the respect he deserves. </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Even the ugly yet eternal cockroach teaches resilience in hostile environments. We can learn from all creatures, great and small.</p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">That’s not to say you won’t find yourself in conflict with rats and cockroaches, but you can still respect your adversary, even when doing what needs to be done. </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A brief disclaimer. </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I’m not a “love-coach” or a “no money down-get rich quick guy.” While there are spirit animals suited for those endeavors, my primary focus is the war that has been declared on humanity and the planet by those who currently run the program. </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As we move deeper into ‘interesting/end times,’ you’re going to face increased economic shock, rising crime, police state violence, natural disasters, bioweapons, wars and rumors of wars.</p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Due to the planet’s current position in space-time, I’m a spiritual warfare guy, and that’s what I primarily focus on, although not exclusively. </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">That said, you might desire a romantic companion or to quote Napoleon, “An army travels on its stomach”- meaning you’re going to need to hustle some bread. How one attains companionship or bread varies from person to person. </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">There are spirit animal traits geared toward “love,” “family,” and "resource acquisition.” </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">From a tactical warfare perspective, "resource acquisition" or getting hold of bread, whether the fresh-baked variety or the money kind, is necessary for war and survival. Unfortunately, the owners control the money symbols, and the fist of common-agreement backs that up.  </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Followers of Tao “need what they get and get what they need,” to borrow from a biker philosopher. </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Followers of Tao chuckle at bling-bling peacocks, although the Tao-minded respect aesthetic, which is different from “gaudy rich.” Aesthetic combined with function represents optimal outcome. </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Even the poor man who lives in a tent city should try to dress in second hand clothes or rags that maintain aesthetic, e.g., dystopian chic. He should also do his best to maintain hygiene. </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Try to keep it together as much as possible, even under tough environmental conditions. </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I understand that extreme poverty can drive men mad- as can extreme wealth, although the general consensus is that extreme wealth is a better problem to deal with. Who knows what the endgame tally really is?</p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">If you’re single, you need enough to live healthy and fulfill your mission. </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">If you have a family, you need to handle those obligations. Raising a family in ‘interesting / end times’ is extremely challenging, although someone needs to keep the bloodlines going. Just make sure you can handle it, and that your bloodline is worth the sacrifice and risk of preserving, because children can be used as leverage/insurance by the owners. Also, a battlefield is not the ideal place to raise kids. </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In ‘Interesting / End Times,’ you may need all your energy and resources for you mission. </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For those dealing with bloodline continuation- do your siblings or relatives have children? Why does it have to be you? Unless it has to be you. </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The big picture point is, find a spirit-animal that aligns with your mission and who you are. Due to the nature of my missions, I focus a lot on spiritual warfare and tactical defense. Your mission might be one of non-violence (or lack thereof), or romantic companionship (or lack thereof), or money (or lack thereof), or family (or lack thereof). </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Although, no matter which way you go, the owners still declared war on you, ergo you are in a state of war- whether you like it or not. </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Whatever benefits your spirit animal brings you, after your survival needs are met, use them for pro-human survival missions, i.e., defending the orphan and widow, and by extension- family, tribe, nation-state, humanity, animals, ecology, planet, solar system, universe…. </p><p class="" style="color:inherit;font-size:1.0625em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Liberation Serif', 'Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular', Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Your spirit animal follows the natural order, why wouldn’t you?
