We’ve been polarized, and schismed, and are now learning how to hate.

I’m concerned.

Very concerned.

So I want to talk about how this emotional entrainment game works, and show you what I see.

1/
First, I need a name for the sort of manipulation tactic, so I’m going to call this “blood magic”:

🩸: “To manipulate and control people by deliberately pulling their heart strings.”

If you’ve ever been in an abusive love relationship, you’ve experienced this.

2/
Love. When we are in love, we are filled with an intense desire for another, a wanting of a magical Gestalt, a feeling of Union ⭕️ ... if only we could... sex...

This is what hearts do. This is our life force. When we genuinely fall in love, it is a beautiful madness.

3/
This intense desire, what is it we are wanting exactly? Who are we attracted to love and why?

These intense heart desires are heavily influenced by our childhood wounds, what we wanted, and never got, from our parents.

Our 💔 aches and wants for healing.

4/
So for me, I’ve got “daddy issues”.

My parents got divorced when I was 2, and this 💔, at the core of my being, greatly influences who I do “insta-love” response with.

So if a guy reminds me of dad, tells me all the things I wish my dad would say to me... I do 😍.

5/
And what is it I want from my dad?

I want my dad to be proud of me.

I want my dad to protect me.

I want my dad to think I’m special.

I want to prove myself worthy... will you plz plz love me dad?

These are the aches of 💔.

6/
Now lemme put my evil villain hat on.

Let’s say, I want to manipulate a bunch of people to do my bidding.

How do I manipulate the 💔?

I’m not the only one out there with daddy issues, and these particular heart strings are pretty easy to pull.

So, let’s see how it works.

7/
Heart logic is irrational, but it’s predictably irrational.

💔 wants for mending, and if you give a 💔 what it truly desires, it will love you in return, then you’ve got heart strings that can be pulled.

Abuse dynamics usually come as a slippery slope of “proving love”.

8/
The game I see being played is an imprinting that is focused on playing dad.

Imagine your 💔, then dad says:

“I will be your protector.”

“I will be your warrior.”

“I will take care of you.”

And the most powerful of words from dad, “I’m proud of you.”

9/
If we want to make predictions about what these people in 🩸 ties will do, we ought to be asking, “what would make dad proud?”

Then run this alt-reality narrative through your head:

“What can I do to feel more love from dad?”

“What can I do to prove my love?”

Scary AF.

10/
If we let that in... and accept this game is happening, what can we do?

First, is seeing it.

Seeing the game, the *two-sided* game, how we’re all being played right now, diffuses it’s power.

There’s a win-lose apocalyptic narrative, on *both* sides.

11/
Seeing the two-sidedness of this game, is important in diffusing it’s power.

Seeing victims on the other side, enables us to forgive, to have genuine compassion, so we can start constructing win-win narratives.

I think we oughta run ads, that illustrate the two-sided game.

12/
What else?

We can make a deliberate effort to rewrite our narratives as win-win games, and teach stories.

The vast majority of humans still believe in love and kindness.

How do we do win-win?

I know it’s hard, but if we could, how would we do it?

Create the possibility.

13/
These powers of love, can be used for creation or destruction.🩸

Love is also the only force powerful enough to overcome. 🌟

And this is the secret, to this whole thing.

The secret to getting out.

The secret to escaping this mess.

14/
The secret is.. to dream.

To find a dream that we can believe in, fall in love with, be lit on fire with passion to build. This is the type of love that overcomes.

What is that dream?

To escape, we need to find it.

To escape, we need to genuinely, truly, fall in love. 🌟
