Is reality slipping away?

Does life feel surreal lately?

Do conversations seem impossible?

Does reality feel like it’s fading away?

Meet Chaos…

Life is a game to psychopaths, some play poker, others sit at the kid’s table, but none of them play by the rules so neither should you. There’s always an invisible card in play, a trump card, I call Chaos.

I know you see it and feel it, Chaos has been played, but who played it?

This isn’t new, throughout history Chaos has been wielded from the shadows, the power behind the throne.

So why does this time feel different…more chaotic, more intense, more urgent?

More than one Chaos card is in play. We are casualties of a power struggle, nothing but pieces on a chess board.

Chaos hits like a flash bang, and a smoke bomb laced tear gas. It’s meant to reshuffle power, to keep you disoriented and distracted.

It’s the most powerful card in the psychopath’s hand, but it can come with a high price for the player too. Chaos can scorch the earth when played in defense or as a Hail Mary.

We can’t talk about Chaos without mentioning manipulation. But if we’re all being mesmerized by the same people why don’t we share the same illusion?

Not everyone is susceptible to the same charm, or manipulation techniques. There are some manipulators that you are immune to, they’re the ones you recognize, the ones you can’t believe others can’t see!

But that’s part of the game, you can see others being hypnotized, but you can’t see your own hypnotist.

I’m not saying you have to change your beliefs or you’re wrong, but be aware. Watch for manipulation techniques, most manipulators rely heavily on emotion to achieve their goals.

Shame, guilt, fear and anger are very effective.

Feel like you’re speaking different languages during debates? You are! For the illusion to hold you have to keep people from effectively communicating.

To break the illusion you must first know it exists and accept the reality that you might be in it. If that makes you feel defensive, step back and ask yourself, why. Are these really your feelings or the feelings that are needed to protect the illusion.

When everything starts to feel a bit Alice in Wonderland, allies become enemies, truths turn into lies, reality slips into fantasy …

Chaos is in play.
