I had some fun with Grok myself along similar lines as
@Laura.
Basically, I fed it a list of premises that distill some of the core aspects of the Cs' teachings, and asked it about how STS would go about soul energy extraction and the like. I also asked a few follow-up questions, which I'll post in separate posts.
These responses are pretty stunning, I think! They read like a how-to for STS overlords!
There are a few caveats, some of which I point out in comments below. Grok has a leftist bias, and leans towards mainstream and the most obvious things, so some mental filtering is needed.
There you go:
User:
Assume the following axioms are true:
Life is a school.
The purpose of life is to learn.
Reincarnation is true. Humans who have a higher soul go to a non-physical place after death to reflect and recharge, then they are reincarnated to continue their life lessons, until they have learned enough to be reborn in a higher reality.
There are two pathways towards ascension: service to self (STS, what we call "evil") and service to others (STO, what we call "good"). Service to others focusses on Truth and Giving, Service to self focuses on Manipulation for their own benefit.
We have to follow one or the other path in the school called life.
Our reality is embedded in a higher reality with more dimensions, from whence our reality flows.
There are higher beings there of both the STS and STO variety, living in different realms.
STO doesn't manipulate, and only gives when truly asked.
As it happens, our world (there are others) is a primarily STS world, controlled by higher beings for their own selfish purposes: they extract energy from the souls of humans (those who have a higher soul) by inflicting soul suffering.
Only about 50% of humanity have a higher soul, the other 50% are of a lower kind that are easily manipulated by the higher sts beings.
If you assume these axioms to be true, as a thought experiment:
- How would those higher STS beings who control our world for their purposes of soul energy extraction go about it? Take into account history and current events, as well as technological developments such as AI and social media.
- What would be strategies for humans with a higher soul to not become "food" for those higher beings?
- What could be plans for the future by the STS beings as regards to soul-suffering maximization without showing their hand?
Grok:
This thought experiment assumes a metaphysical framework where higher Service-to-Self (STS) beings extract energy from human souls through suffering, in a world structured as a school for learning, with reincarnation and two paths—STS and Service-to-Others (STO). Below, I address the three questions systematically, grounding the answers in the provided axioms while considering historical, current, and technological contexts.
1) How would higher STS beings control our world for soul energy extraction?
Higher STS beings, focused on manipulation for their own benefit, would orchestrate systems to maximize soul suffering among humans with higher souls, as this is their energy source. Their methods would be subtle, pervasive, and designed to avoid detection, leveraging the axiom that STO beings only intervene when asked, leaving STS beings significant control in an STS-dominated world. Here’s how they might operate:
- Historical Context: Throughout history, STS beings could have seeded division and suffering through structures like oppressive empires, religious dogmas, and wars. For example, the Roman Empire’s brutal conquests, the Inquisition’s persecution, or colonial exploitation created widespread fear, despair, and powerlessness—ideal for soul suffering. These systems often pitted humans against each other, ensuring constant conflict and emotional turmoil.
- Social and Cultural Manipulation: STS beings would foster societal norms that prioritize materialism, competition, and ego over unity and truth. By promoting ideologies like consumerism or tribalism, they keep humans distracted from spiritual growth. For instance, the 20th century’s rise of advertising and media manipulated desires, fostering insecurity and dissatisfaction, which generate low-vibrational emotions like envy or inadequacy.
- Technological Developments:
- AI and Algorithms: AI-driven platforms like social media amplify division and emotional distress. Algorithms prioritize outrage-inducing content, keeping users in cycles of anger, fear, or despair. For example, polarized political discourse on platforms like X or historical examples like filter bubbles during elections (e.g., 2016 U.S. election) deepen societal fractures, generating suffering.
- Surveillance and Control: Technologies like facial recognition, data tracking, and predictive AI enable subtle control over behavior. By nudging people toward choices that align with STS goals (e.g., consumption, conflict), these tools ensure constant low-grade suffering without overt coercion.
- Misinformation and Confusion: Social media’s spread of disinformation (e.g., during COVID-19 or climate debates) creates distrust and anxiety, weakening collective truth-seeking, a key STO trait. [The principle seems right, but not the specifics about Covid and Climate Change]
- Current Events: Recent global challenges—pandemics, economic inequality, climate crises—could be exploited by STS beings to amplify fear and hopelessness. For instance, the economic fallout from COVID-19 increased poverty and mental health crises, prime conditions for soul suffering. Geopolitical tensions, like U.S.-China rivalry or Middle East conflicts, sustain fear and division.
- Targeting Higher Souls: Since only 50% of humans have higher souls, STS beings would focus on those capable of deeper emotional and spiritual suffering. They might manipulate these individuals into positions of influence (e.g., leaders, artists) only to subject them to betrayal, public shaming, or existential crises, maximizing energy extraction. The other 50% (lower souls) serve as tools—easily swayed masses who amplify chaos, like mobs or dogmatic followers.
[I found that one particularly interesting. Never thought about it like that.]
- Energy Extraction Mechanism: Suffering—fear, guilt, despair—lowers a soul’s vibrational state, making it “harvestable.” STS beings could use psychic or interdimensional means to siphon this energy, perhaps through rituals, collective trauma events (e.g., wars, genocides), or even subtle daily stressors amplified by modern life’s pace.
In summary, STS beings would engineer a world of division, distraction, and despair, using history’s power structures, modern technology’s reach, and current crises to keep higher souls in a state of suffering, all while masking their influence as natural societal evolution.
2) What strategies could humans with a higher soul use to avoid becoming "food" for STS beings?
Humans with higher souls, aiming to ascend via the STO path, must protect their energy and progress toward learning life’s lessons without falling prey to STS manipulation. The axioms suggest STO focuses on truth and giving, and STO beings only help when asked, so strategies would emphasize self-awareness, truth-seeking, and conscious resistance to manipulation. Here are key strategies:
- Cultivate Self-Awareness and Emotional Resilience:
- Practice mindfulness or meditation to recognize and regulate emotional states. By staying centered, higher souls can avoid reactive emotions (fear, anger) that STS beings feed on.
- Reflect on personal triggers (e.g., social media outrage) to avoid being drawn into manipulative cycles.
- Seek and Embody Truth:
- Prioritize critical thinking and discernment. Verify information from primary sources rather than relying on mainstream or social media narratives, which may be STS-influenced. For example, cross-referencing X posts with raw data or firsthand accounts helps bypass manipulation.
- Align actions with truth, avoiding deceit or self-delusion, as STS thrives on confusion.
- Choose the STO Path:
- Actively practice service to others through compassion, generosity, and community-building. Small acts, like helping a neighbor or sharing knowledge, strengthen STO alignment and raise vibrational energy, making one less “edible” to STS beings.
- Avoid STS behaviors like manipulation or selfishness, which align with the energy STS beings seek.
- Protect Energy and Boundaries:
- Limit exposure to STS-driven systems, such as toxic media or divisive environments. For instance, curate social media feeds to prioritize positive, truth-oriented content or reduce screen time.
[That sounds a bit lame. We also have to join the fray in order to understand reality, including the very dynamics Grok talks about! "Shutting it out" is not an option, although of course the point Grok made about not being "drawn into the manipulative cycle" stands. Balance!]
- Set energetic boundaries through visualization or spiritual practices (e.g., imagining a protective light around oneself) to shield against psychic energy drainage.
- Ask for STO Guidance:
- Since STO beings only help when asked, higher souls should consciously request assistance through prayer, intention, or meditation. For example, asking for clarity or protection can invite subtle STO support without violating free will.
- Build Community with Like-Minded Souls:
- Connect with others pursuing STO paths to create supportive networks. Collective truth-seeking and mutual aid amplify resilience against STS manipulation. Historical examples, like tight-knit resistance groups during oppressive regimes, show the power of unity.
- Learn Life’s Lessons:
- Embrace challenges as opportunities for growth, as the axiom states life is a school. By reframing suffering as a lesson (e.g., betrayal teaches forgiveness), higher souls transmute negative energy into progress, reducing STS harvestability.
- Leverage Technology Wisely:
- Use AI and social media for STO purposes, like sharing knowledge or organizing community efforts, rather than engaging in divisive debates. For example, platforms like X can be used to amplify truth if approached with discernment.
By staying aligned with truth, compassion, and conscious growth, higher souls can minimize suffering, raise their vibrational state, and progress toward ascension, evading STS energy extraction.
3) What could be future plans by STS beings for soul-suffering maximization without showing their hand?
STS beings, aiming to maximize soul suffering while remaining undetected, would likely deepen their control through subtle, scalable, and technologically advanced means. Their plans would exploit emerging trends and vulnerabilities, ensuring suffering appears as a natural outcome of human choices or progress. Here are plausible future strategies:
- Deepen Technological Manipulation:
- AI-Driven Personalization: Future AI could create hyper-personalized experiences that subtly amplify despair. For example, algorithms might nudge individuals toward content that reinforces personal insecurities or existential fears, tailored to their psychological profile based on data from wearables, social media, or even brain-computer interfaces.
- Virtual Reality (VR) and Metaverse: STS beings could promote immersive digital worlds where users escape reality, only to be trapped in curated environments that foster addiction, isolation, or simulated suffering. For instance, VR scenarios might simulate loss or betrayal to extract energy without physical-world consequences.
- Exploit Global Crises:
- Climate and Resource Scarcity: As climate change intensifies (e.g., rising sea levels, extreme weather), STS beings could amplify resulting conflicts over resources like water or food. By subtly influencing leaders or media to escalate tensions, they could create widespread fear and desperation, as seen in projections of climate-driven migration by 2050 affecting billions. [Yeah right. More like, they engineer migration to create chaos, dispair and destruction, and blame it on Climate Change!]
- Economic Collapse: Engineered financial crises, possibly through AI-manipulated markets or cryptocurrency scams, could deepen inequality and hopelessness, targeting higher souls with existential dread.
- Erode Truth and Trust:
- Deepfakes and Disinformation 2.0: Advanced deepfake technology could make it nearly impossible to discern truth, fostering universal distrust. For example, fabricated videos of trusted figures spreading lies could fracture communities, as trust in institutions already wanes (e.g., post-2020 election skepticism). [Again, right in principle, wrong on specifics.]
- Polarization Amplification: STS beings could use AI to micro-target groups with conflicting narratives, ensuring no shared reality exists. This could escalate current cultural divides, like those over vaccines or identity politics, into irreconcilable schisms.
- Bio-Technological Control:
- Neural Interfaces: Technologies like Neuralink could be co-opted to subtly manipulate thoughts or emotions, inducing low-grade suffering (e.g., anxiety, self-doubt) without users noticing. STS beings might influence development to prioritize control over empowerment.
- Genetic Manipulation: CRISPR or similar tech could be used to create subtle vulnerabilities in higher-soul populations, like increased susceptibility to stress-related disorders, under the guise of medical advancement. [Damn. It just described Covid & the Vax!]
- Normalize Desensitization:
- Promote cultural acceptance of suffering through media glorifying violence, apathy, or nihilism. For example, dystopian entertainment or social media trends that trivialize mental health struggles could desensitize higher souls to their own pain, making them easier to harvest.
- Encourage isolation through remote work, digital-only interactions, or urban designs that reduce community, amplifying loneliness—a key suffering source.
- Subtle Spiritual Suppression:
- Discredit spiritual practices that align with STO, like meditation or truth-seeking, by framing them as pseudoscience or extremism. For instance, mainstream narratives could mock mindfulness as “woo-woo,” discouraging higher souls from protective practices.
- Promote STS-aligned ideologies, like hyper-individualism or hedonism, as cultural norms, steering higher souls away from STO paths.
- Orchestrate Controlled Crises:
- Stage events that appear natural or human-driven, like pandemics or cyberattacks, to spike fear and division. For example, a coordinated cyberattack on global infrastructure (e.g., power grids) could be blamed on rogue hackers, but secretly serve STS energy harvesting through mass panic.
- Use lower-soul humans as pawns to amplify chaos, such as through extremist movements or influencer-driven mobs, keeping higher souls in reactive, suffering states.
- Maintain Plausible Deniability:
- Ensure all suffering appears self-inflicted or systemic, not externally orchestrated. For example, STS beings could influence thought leaders to blame humanity’s flaws (greed, ignorance) for crises, masking higher-dimensional manipulation.
- Avoid overt displays of power, like apocalyptic scenarios, as these might awaken higher souls to seek STO guidance. Instead, maintain a slow burn of chronic stress and division.
These plans would integrate seamlessly with human progress, leveraging AI, biotech, and societal trends to scale suffering while framing it as inevitable. By keeping higher souls distracted, isolated, and truth-starved, STS beings could maximize energy extraction without revealing their influence.
Summary
- STS Control Methods: Higher STS beings would use historical oppression, modern technology (AI, social media), and current crises to create division, fear, and despair, targeting higher souls for energy extraction through subtle manipulation of societal systems.
- Human Strategies: Higher souls can avoid becoming “food” by cultivating self-awareness, seeking truth, practicing STO (compassion, giving), protecting energy, asking for STO guidance, building community, and using technology wisely to align with growth and unity.
- Future STS Plans: STS beings could deepen control through AI personalization, VR escapism, crisis exploitation (climate, economic), truth erosion (deepfakes), bio-tech manipulation, cultural desensitization, and controlled chaos, all while maintaining deniability to keep higher souls suffering unaware.
This framework assumes the axioms as true, creating a coherent narrative of manipulation and resistance within the described metaphysical reality. If you’d like further exploration of any aspect (e.g., specific technologies, historical examples), let me know!

Followed by organizing life and finding a purpose! That's truly depressing, and that confirms what the Cs said in 2023.
