Quote @Lighting pulsating:
"Where I differ is that the trap can only work if humanity is not aware of it. [...] So in my view, exposing the ET stuff to the wider world, or what the control system has got up to, is the first step of help for humanity. Falling into that trap again is not always inevitable; I would think if one knew what the true history is, then it's just a choice of free will."
We need to clarify what the trap actually is:
It's not just a light sucking you in after death and then erasing your memories.
The actual trap is the corruption of power.
Like Gollum, people are falling for the trap when they are still alive. They want to yield the "ring of power" in order to control other people, either on a societal level by the violence of government, or on a personal level by controlling relationships.
It doesn't matter whether you achieve that power or not.
If you achieve it in your life, the corruption gets a hold of you and you start to fear losing it. After physical death, the trap will promise you to be powerful again, and you will feel attracted to that.
If you don't achieve it in your life, but believe you need it, the trap will promise you to get it in your next life, and you will feel attracted to that.
The way out of the trap is to reject that power, like Frodo did. If you reject it, you can't be corrupted anymore, no matter whether you are dead or alive.
In that regard, yes, it's a choice of free will. The death traps are just a reflection of what people are choosing already in their everyday lifes. The trap is not the cause – it's the symptom.
And also the illusion of choice since we are given two choices, as in politics, and usually people have to choose the lessor of two evils. I've never voted. That is also part of taking away your power or giving it to a politician to represent us. We can take that power back and stop looking to government to fix our problems, no one wants to do it and just think if we keep going it's gonna work out....if we choose the right one. Just like the jabs and CONvid, they get you to choose....oh...be afraid of the invisible boogeyman. There's always a boogeyman to be feared. Going in to fear is also consent.
Yes, power corrupts those who don't have integrity and have an agenda.
With great power comes great responsibility, and many can't handle power.
It shows your character if you can take on that kind of power but not get corrupted.
Those that want to control others are out of control within. Instead of trying to control themselves within, they control others around them.
So taking our power back and being responsible for what we do because the devil don't make us do anything...it's always by some sort of consent or contract.
