Take back your power

Super Individual is a phrase that's emerging from the AI productivity space that describes the ability of one person to execute at the level of a team; of an entire agency; an entire company. I'm taking it further. My definition of Super Individual is:

Super Individual · nounA sovereign human being that has fully reclaimed their power from and operates outside of the failing institutions of modernity.

Institutions are not only tangible and visible organizations (government, corporate, communal, spiritual) but also intangible and invisible ways of being, thinking and communicating, including interpersonal relationships.

It is important to note that this is not about denouncing culture and society. It’s not about abandoning civilization and living off the grid. It’s about seeing our modern culture, society and civilization for what they are. It’s about recognizing the energy flows both in and out of our beingness and deciding where our energy deserves to flow and where it doesn’t.

We still need to rely on the electric and utility companies. We still need to rely on our government to serve and protect us, however well or poorly they do so. We still need to engage in commerce so that infrastructure, housing and food supplies can be built and maintained. We still need to participate in our communities. But the point of inflection is, are we participating in all of those institutions mindlessly? Blindly? Or are we participating with clear intention and total cognition? That is the way of the Super Individual. We cannot make change by abandoning our humanity and our fellow man. We cannot bring change to the world by scoffing and hiding ourselves away. We make change by calling out those who do harm, withdrawing our energy from where it is being abused, and redirecting it to where it is useful, both for ourselves, and for all.

We still need to have relationships with people. We still need love. We still need companionship and partnership. We still need physical intimacy. We still need to procreate. But it’s about looking at what terms have been agreed to on top of or beneath those interactions. What are you giving to and what are you asking of others along with those engagements and are those terms in favor of extraction and control or are they unconditional with no strings attached?

I believe one of the monolithic institutions that is draining our power is the recorded music business. I've spent my entire conscious life—over 30 years—consuming, studying, analyzing and producing recorded music. For the entirety of that period, I've known, in different severities, that there was an invisible yet non-trivial power behind music; a power whose origin and foundation was being intentionally deluded, kept secret and hidden from the masses; the consumers of such music.

Music being applauded and marketed as entertainment is a lie. Music is power. Music is prescription medicine for the mind. Music is a highly advanced and complex metaphysical technology that influences brain chemistry on a scientifically proven, physical level.

Music is real and raw power. Whether that power is used for good or bad lies in the hands of those wielding it, and I believe that those currently wielding the power en masse are using it for control, suppression and dominance over the modern human populace.

Music feels good, but most people don’t have the tools (or desire) to understand why or how, and that is what those in control bank on. A society consuming the music that we’re consuming at the rate and density that we’re consuming it will show signs of dysfunction. And aren’t we showing dysfunction en masse? But the powers that be have positioned themselves and the power of music to be non-targets of this dysfunction by default. The programming and propaganda we’re fed is that “music is harmless” and “music is actually an outlet for everything else going wrong in the world.”

But those are both lies.

Popular music is actually one of the main perpetrators of what’s going wrong in the world because music directly and without fail influences each listener’s internal world, and when our internal worlds are corrupted and degraded by the music coming from the mainstream propaganda megaphone, society falters: mental illness and instability spikes, yet the perpetrators that contribute to the instability are so highly regarded and in collusion with the other population control platforms that the real cause of the symptom never gets uncovered. Then, when there is no framework to support and solve the mental illness and societal fragmenting we are experiencing, society collapses.
