*"The critical questions aren't about individual empowerment - they're about systemic control: Who defines the standards for this uniform data? Who builds the platforms? Who sets the protocols for access and compliance? Once those systems are in place, individual control becomes individual submission with predetermined frameworks."*
I think we already know the answer to this. At least in general terms.
I watched Kennedy say he supports the "wearables" for overweight and essentially those struggling with health issues to monitor themselves and take note of the effects. First these wearable contain EMFs and are overall toxic to the cells and biofield. This is entry to transhumanism. When I watched him in committee, it was clear by his body language and those speaking down to him like an admonished parent, that he " is to support the wearable agenda."
Agree.... Those with co-morbidities should definitely be exposed to more EM radiation. ;)
And.... if he were half the man he's marketed himself to be, there wouldn't be any "talking down" to him.
He's a sell-out, like everyone else in the beltway, and will be just as culpable for the transhuman, sureveillance-state, open-air prison in the end. Full stop.
The thing that I find interesting is that the "wearable" is just the next iteration of the visible compliance indicator that was the face diaper a few short years ago. And... just like every other COVIDWarming lunatic enforcement.... I won't be participating.
As a long time yoga student and a hyper sensitive person I have yet to be able to feel my blood glucose levels. After wearing a continuous glucose monitor for two weeks I gained an understanding of how certain foods affected me. I then threw away the monitor because having electrical signals sent to my body every 20 minutes disrupted my sleep.
Having the tools to gain knowledge that is otherwise unknowable is helpful. Having the knowledge to know that those same tools are harmful was the result of years of yoga practice and it’s cultivation of self awareness.
If we could have the tools without being connected to ‘the grid’ it would be an a way to cut ourselves off from the dependence on doctors and drugs. Doctors and drugs are the third leading cause of death.
Thanks for this info. I consciously slowed my breath, felt my fingers on keys, butt in chair and feet on floor as I read this as I knew I had to monitor my nervous system. I could feel anger arise. Don't need no wearable. What a disappointment MAHA has been. "One Nation Under Blackmail"
Thank you for writing this. The two most disappointing developments with RFK Jr's appointment are the utter lack of acknowledgement of traditional forms of health care (Chinese medicine, Ayurveda) and all the new and developing treatments in the "alternative" world; and now this promotion of technology that can so easily be abused in the ways you outline here.
While I do see that he has made real progress on such issues as transparency and vaccine safety, It seems as if someone gets to Washington and simply can no longer see outside of the box of the system.
Thanks for this, although I can only hope that "approval" means these therapies will be paid for by the system, rather than regulated and over-managed.
Restacking this right away as one of the most important, and scariest posts I have read in awhile.
But I also wanted to let you know that for some unknown reason, this is the first and only time I have tried to watch a video embedded in a Substack post, only to get silence, and then a halt of the video and a spinning wheel indicating some computing process has stopped. I am using a new MacBook Pro M4 with plenty of RAM, and am having no problems with other Substack posts or YouTube podcasts, but I can not rule out the problem is on my end.
Beware of the phrases “better health”, “for the children”, “national security” and “cost savings” used in media… thread lightly; manipulating propaganda is likely to follow.
At a healing sound bath last night, a new acquaintance casually described how her "Oura" ring helpfully provided all sorts of data on internal metrics. I was totally confused. I kept thinking she was saying "aura" -- understandable, given our participation in a sound bath -- but no.
She wears this thing while she sleeps. From the Oura website: "Check your daily Readiness and Sleep Scores in the Oura App to clearly understand if you’re ready to get after it or if you should get back in bed." Really? We don't know IF WE SHOULD GO BACK TO SLEEP OR NOT??
Josh, your essay lays out everything I believe about outsourcing our instincts. Restacking now.
I find the bit about outsourcing self awareness to algorithm rings a bell.
I know very, very few people with any real awareness of their internals. both physical and mental.
my experience is that people have been outsourcing self awareness to medics and shrinks throughout my lifetime (~50 years.) no surprise they'd shift that to an electronic version without really thinking about it.
I'm super pleased that my son inherited my weirdly extensive awareness of innards, body and mind. I'm curious if that tendency has to do with not using the medical-industrial-insurance system. I rarely dealt with them as a child, and increasingly less as I aged, until I reached a point where I trust medics about as far as I can throw their townhouses.
my 18 year old son has only seen medics from a third person perspective when accompanying someone else and acting as emotional support. he was born at home and has never had a single industrialized interaction with a medical "professional."
I feel sorry for others regarding health on a lot of levels, as I'm also inherently healthy and most people I know are far less so. but the trust they have in medics, and their dependency on that system, makes me even more sorry for them than their weak health and nearly nonexistent internal self awareness.
Outsourcing one's mental health is an under-acknowledged issue. In fact, it's another of the establishment narratives that if you are having any sort of psychological or emotional problem, seek professional help. Yeah, right, as if you can count on getting a professional who helps more than hurts. You might, you might not.
The ultimate goal is depopulation. Evil people like Epstein and Gates planned to reduce the world population to 500,000, just enough slaves to serve their every whim. RFK is just another pawn in this horrible game that seeks to imprison us all in the digital concentration camp.
In one of our first newsletters and early reflections, we upheld the conspiracy theorist as a necessary archetype: a skeptic infused with discernment, a practitioner who refuses indoctrination. It is indeed astute and healthy to recognize the dark conditions that surround us. The sheer curiosity is admirable let alone the courage to look without flinching, to call out injustice and to cast light on the shadowed corners of reality. It is a moral standing which must be applauded. But today, we offer a caveat: skepticism if unmoored from its spiritual compass, can distort and deform into a fetish. In short, the warning is this: That which we are beholden to we serve and what we serve, we become.
Entities and the Currency of Attention
"Have you seen what 'they' are up to now? 'They' are not even bothering to hide it anymore."
This phrase encapsulates the sentiment of a compulsion where the hunger to reveal what 'they' are doing begins to eclipse the greater call. The historical and lawful record affirms the existence of dark conspiracy. The adversary is real. His pyramid of hierarchy is real. His devotees are real—as are all those who oppose him but inadvertently participate in advancing his agenda.
Let's cut to the chase and cast some light upon this enigmatic 'they', as in the familiar phrase, “That’s what 'they' say.”
In the realm of spiritual law and psychology, 'they' often denotes the presence of an egregore: a psychic entity born from repetition of thought, speech, and shared collective emotional charge. From the Greek egrēgoros, meaning “watcher,” the term suggests a vigilant entity energized and sustained by ongoing human fixation.
Such entities form anytime people are mentally and emotionally invested into an idea. Consistently pondering it and repetitively talking about it forms a ritual around it. The more attention—whether fascinated or fearful—poured into this 'they' the more distinct and directive it becomes. Like a legal fiction granted standing by men, the egregore derives its power not from fact, but from mass recognition. It "watches", not because it has physical eyes, but because 'we' believe it to be watching like a chess master interested in our every move.
The Unreflecting Mirror
When our focus centers on a named adversary or enigmatic hidden power, an egregore feeds. Esoteric traditions describe this system as a psychic economy—where 'loosh' (a form of subtle energy generated during heightened emotional or psychological states) is drawn off from humans and consumed. We engage in this spiritual black market by ignorant, unguarded participation. Our obsession is the offering. The contract is not signed with ink, but invoked—through ritual. Specifically from repetitive commentary, consistent complaint, unceasing speculation, coupled with persistent emotions of excitement, anger, fear or loathing.
This is the deeper peril greater than the adversary itself: to be governed by unseen forces blindly believing we are well informed and immune to their manipulation while at the same time being syphoned of our precious creative energy.
The old empires knew this well. Public rumor was not merely tolerated—it was deliberately cultivated, weaponized into egregores that promoted self-policing, self-governed speech (political correctness), steered behavior all distracting the populace from the true source of power.
In Hermeticism, the Principle of Correspondence states: "As above, so below; as within, so without."
We become what we focus upon and study. And when our inner life is shaped by persistent exposure to the adversary's latest machination, our sacred mirror becomes soiled and unreflective.
The Obsession That Binds the Soul to Its Jailor
This is not to say "ignorance is bliss"—rather, this is a cautionary tale about fixation and its ability to become a form of psycho-spiritual entrapment where a well intentioned seeker of truth turns into a "Priest of Doom" a town crier chanting mantras of disclosure and revelation while refusing God's call to return to the silence of the temple.
Discernment is an active process, a spiritual filtration system. Yet some, by what they consistently speak of, and preference of subject matter, reveal their troubled inner state: mistaking their addiction to dark maneuverings as spiritual discernment.
It is written: "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks." (Luke 6:45).
The constant unveiling of the next plot, the obsessive thrill of another secret decoded—these suggest not clarity, but compulsion. What the heart is filled with flows out through the mouth, and if dark conspiracy is the only song sung, we must ask ourselves: What melody is playing within my heart?
Moreover, as Christ taught: "It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a man, but what comes out of it." (Matthew 15:11).
This reveals that the words we speak are energetic, creative and outwardly formative. To constantly speak of darkness is to give it structure. Words charged by fixation do not merely describe—they energize. Thus, to point out yet another newly discovered name on the Adversary's evil agent roster is to unwittingly support his agenda.
Webster’s 1828 dictionary reminds us that to discern is to "distinguish accurately." But there's little accuracy in obsession, and no clarity without the quiet pause of an inner return. For it is within sacred stillness that the Father responds—not with the noise of headlines, but with the whisper of truth.
Let us name this fixation properly. The Greeks called it Mania (MAH-nee-uh): an obsessive, possessive kind of love. It arises when healthy love such as Philautia (healthy self-love) becomes distorted and diseased. Mania clings. It's needy. It consumes what it professes to love.
Mania can possess a mind that falls in love with its own vigilance. It is the burning need to know what "they" are doing, what "they" have done, and what "they" will do next. This is obsession masquerading as awakening. It is the soul in bondage, tracing every move of its jailer while refusing to walk out the unguarded and open cell door.
The Adversary’s Gospel: Obsession
Historically, a "fetish" is an object believed to hold power. The word comes from the Portuguese feitiço, meaning "sorcery" or "enchantment," itself derived from the Latin facticius, meaning "made by art." In modern conspiracy culture, knowledge-of-the-adversary has become that artful object. It is treated as a sacred talisman—something to be hung around the neck like a badge of honor. But beneath the surface, something more insidious hides. It is the ego, cloaked in the garb of vigilance.
It affirms from deep inside:
"If I can just anticipate every move they make, then I won’t be caught unaware. I will appear wise, prepared, insightful. I’ll prove myself—validate my suspicions, affirm my intelligence, tell 'em 'I told you so' and maybe—just maybe—quiet the voices that keep telling me I am powerless in a world of uncertainty."
This is the desperate cry of the ego seeking security, self-importance and superiority. The fetish is not the knowledge itself, but the belief in the power it confers. Within the preoccupation of chasing down the shadows of the adversary, we risk crafting an altar to one of the most dangerous of false gods: The inauthentic self.
To obsess over the adversary's blueprints and agendas is to live according to his liturgy. We begin to recite his blackened scriptures under our breath.
Hermeticism teaches the Principle of Polarity: "All truths are but half-truths; all paradoxes may be reconciled."
The adversary is useful insofar as he reveals to us what necessary adjustments we must make through contrast and opposites. However, to dwell in polarity is to mistake contrast for completion (perfected truth). It is to camp out on the threshold waiting, ever on the lookout for the enemies next move rather than taking courageous action in faith and jumping into the portal of transformation.
The adversary and his minions are reactive, not generative or creative—for they have shut themselves away from divine love. So why should the student of light eavesdrop on conversations within the darkness?
"What fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?" (2 Corinthians 6:14, KJV)
To think "they" are unaware of your gaze is naive; to think "they" are not performing for you is even more so. If "they" know you’re watching, "they" will shape the story to suit "their" ends, manipulating you to spread their poisoned half-truths to others. Polarity is a potent teacher, but it was never meant to be your dwelling place.
The Spiritual Cost of Misplaced Focus and Attention
Etymology tells us that the term "focus"means a hearth, fireplace, or altar. In the private homes of ancient Rome, the focus was both the literal fire source and the symbolic center of domestic and spiritual life—the sacred flame tended for warmth, nourishment, and ritual. The term "attention" means “to stretch toward.” Often it is coupled with payment as in "pay attention." These are not neutral mental activities. They are the gestures of devotion itself. When we direct our attention and focus, we do not merely observe—we make an offering.
As was so poignantly stated in the quote above by Jacob Boehme, where we place our focus and attention, we place our care—or love. Love is the Hermetic Eighth Principle, sometimes called the "forgotten principle". Yet it is this author’s conviction that it is in fact the very First Principle. For what we truly care about, we either create or nurish prolonging its existence. Love is the engine of creation—both seed and soil—forming the inner foundation before radiating out as an external effect. It is the taproot from which all other principles, laws and virtues emerge.
Really disappointed to hear this from RFK Jr. Our culture is drunk on technology because we are unable to face the fundamental uncontrollably of the world. Our need for control will always ultimately be elusive, and we will only end up hurting ourselves if we strive for more and more control.
Oh, my goodness, Josh. I wrote nearly the same sentiment in a comment elsewhere yesterday: "The wearables agenda represents something far more insidious than surveillance: the industrialization of human self-awareness. "
I said that relying on technology to tell us how we feel is divorcing ourselves from interacting with our bodies and developing an understand/knowledge of how our bodies feel. Moreover, such technology divorces intuition from us in assessing our health. Many people over the years have spoken of intuitive feelings that they may be getting sick or need a revitalization in their health. Intuition can give warning long before an instrument measures any change in the body.
I'm really disappointed in RFK, Jr. I just hate this creeping encroachment of AI. I hate YT suddenly showing me videos of cats and dogs when I look at one. One video. The AI has no idea what's in my mind nor what I want. I don't want or need a "constant companion." How silly this world has become. Everyone is so afraid of loneliness or dying that they can't live.
Freedom and surveillance. How much more contradictory can you get. I can already hear the laughter of the the people wanting to control us MAHAHAHA!!!!

If you listen to the podcast Mr Kennedy did with Gary Brekka, he says that they are going to approve a lot of ‘alternative’ therapies.
One step at a time. Mr Kennedy has been thinking about this for a long time and has a plan.
Thanks for this, although I can only hope that "approval" means these therapies will be paid for by the system, rather than regulated and over-managed.

Hello Joshua.
Restacking this right away as one of the most important, and scariest posts I have read in awhile.
But I also wanted to let you know that for some unknown reason, this is the first and only time I have tried to watch a video embedded in a Substack post, only to get silence, and then a halt of the video and a spinning wheel indicating some computing process has stopped. I am using a new MacBook Pro M4 with plenty of RAM, and am having no problems with other Substack posts or YouTube podcasts, but I can not rule out the problem is on my end.
Just in case (a glitch by design?), here is a direct link to the first YouTube of Kennedy testifying regarding wearables ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_fqH8rGtlE
Cheers from Japan, and thank you for this extremely worrying heads up.
Substack is glitchy as heck.
Thanks for the heads up Craig.
My darker moments has me imagining this post as being targeted.
I know what you mean!
same thing happened to me.
Hmm ... thanks for the heads up.

Oh, my goodness, Josh. I wrote nearly the same sentiment in a comment elsewhere yesterday: "The wearables agenda represents something far more insidious than surveillance: the industrialization of human self-awareness. "
I said that relying on technology to tell us how we feel is divorcing ourselves from interacting with our bodies and developing an understand/knowledge of how our bodies feel. Moreover, such technology divorces intuition from us in assessing our health. Many people over the years have spoken of intuitive feelings that they may be getting sick or need a revitalization in their health. Intuition can give warning long before an instrument measures any change in the body.
I'm really disappointed in RFK, Jr. I just hate this creeping encroachment of AI. I hate YT suddenly showing me videos of cats and dogs when I look at one. One video. The AI has no idea what's in my mind nor what I want. I don't want or need a "constant companion." How silly this world has become. Everyone is so afraid of loneliness or dying that they can't live.
Oh my God, with every sci-fi movie I would see in the past I knew that it would come to be. Sometime.
This is extremely scary. I so value my freedom what little freedom we still have.
As far as I’m concerned, this has nothing to do with help. It’s everything to do with control and manipulation.
Health not help
Freedom and surveillance. How much more contradictory can you get. I can already hear the laughter of the the people wanting to control us MAHAHAHA!!!!
