In Stockholm-syndrome terms, it is more energy efficient if the prisoner is persuaded to cooperate, and even to help with his captivity, if he is doing so by choice and the captor does not have to spend endless amounts of energy keeping an eye on him, checking the locks on the doors, torturing him, or whatever. It is a simple matter of economics.

In hyperdimensional spheres, a consciousness that has acceded to domination has agreed to be absorbed. This means that it is effectively food for the negative hierarchy. It does not matter one whit if the agreement is a result of being lied to, if the agreement has come because a grand deception has been played out, such as a negative being appearing as the Virgin Mary and demanding that an altar be built, or penance be done, or it the chosen deception is the goddess Sekhmet. The instant compliance is given by the worshipper, they are “eaten” as consciousness. It’s that simple. And the same is true in our human relationships. When we allow another to manipulate us or deceive us into being dominated, no matter how subtly, we become part of the chain of domination to whomever, or whatever is dominating them, and on up the line.
The modes of persuasion are many and varied. Inducing choice is the objective, and it is immaterial whether or not this is done via deception, persuasive misrepresentation, or other conditioning. Confusion, physical and/or emotional/mental pain, exhaustion, blackmail, and even forms of torture are legitimate modes of persuasion. Exhausting or terrifying a person so that they will run screaming to the arms of that Old-Time Religion is a favored ploy. Of course, the more subtle the means used, the more free will value is retained. A tortured consciousness is the equivalent to being overcooked.
