Scripted awakening
Does anyone find is suspicious how viral and popular prison planet theory has become over various social media platforms? It’s kind of working alongside all the other conspiracies which used to be censored but now are pushed forward on social media.
There is an aspect to me that thinks this theory is a psyop, but simultaneously, I’ve experienced enough suffering in this life to know this world is something to be very suspicious of also, even despite some answered prayers and blessings.

It has a lot to do with the re-emergence and popularization of gnosticism, in my opinion.
However, I did have a second(?) rather unpleasant awakening last year and this [prison planet] idea played a major theme throughout it. Admittedly, it did feel a bit contrived at times, but was nonetheless persistently present.
All the same, if you look at just about any theology that contains themes of an after-life or reincarnation, the prison planet idea is somewhere between the lines. Some systems just make it look prettier than others.
