forces and magic, had their attributes – incense, talismans, and so on – but these things were of much lower quality because it wasn’t popular or widespread in the material world. As a result, all of this looked like cheap, mass-produced goods. And they all appeared quite poor. But in the last 20 years, as spirituality has become trendy, those surface-level people – who aren’t spiritual or deep, but empty inside – started jumping on this trend. These consumer-minded individuals are always promoting and selling everything. With the rise of the spiritual trend, everything suddenly became stylish and high-quality – esoteric accessories, spiritual attributes. But that’s because they don’t feel anything themselves, yet they know how to package it beautifully and give it attractive names. That’s why now there’s an abundance of Palo Santo and Tarot cards, but these people only know how to sell and visually admire things – they don’t actually feel anything. It’s just that this trend has caught on among superficial people. But what am I getting at? The point is that this plastic world, which is now taking over all three worlds – sky, earth, and the underworld – this social, “Agent Smith”-like world is incredibly fake. This negative force hides very cleverly behind positive things. It can convince people, for example, to “be sporty and eat only plant-based food.” And people believe it, they start following it, because everyone wants to be seen as good. But in reality, this pulls people away from their soul, turns them away from their heart, and leads them off the true path. That’s how this dark force, the bad one – let’s call it “Agent Smith” – manipulates them. And then, as a result, people even start getting sick. The same thing happens with esotericism. These people, wanting to appear good in the eyes of others, promote only that type of spirituality associated with being a “God of love”, loving everyone, being health-conscious, a vegan, sitting with singing bowls in a lotus pose somewhere in the jungle. But in truth, it’s all fake, and these empty people have fallen for it, leading them off the path – the devil has led them astray. Because these people are false, the devil tricks them with the idea that “being super good” is the right way, offering to guide them. That’s why all these plastic, fake people don’t get involved with the dark forces – because dark forces are seen as bad, as something taboo, “oh no, that’s bad!” And when I looked at people who are genuinely interested in dark forces, I felt a sense of relief. It’s as if “Agent Smith” hadn’t managed to infiltrate that space. There are still people who have genuinely been interested in this since childhood, or were born with this inclination. Their materials, their accessories, are often humble because it’s not trendy in today’s world. Their pendants are
