CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Wait… You Actually Believe That?


IF YOU SAY you believe in whatever this is, here’s what that means.

You might believe the Earth is flat, surrounded by an ice wall, with the sun and moon circling above in a firmament dome.
You believe satellites are fake.
NASA is lying.
Gravity is a hoax.
Photos are CGI.
The curve? An illusion.

You might believe aliens created humanity.
That they visited in ancient times.
That they’ll return when we’re ready.
You might be a Raelian. Someone who believes advanced extraterrestrials, the Elohim, engineered life on Earth through cloning.
You might believe prophets like Jesus, Muhammad, and Buddha were alien messengers.
You might believe eternal life will come through science, not faith.

You might believe in ascension portals, light beings, and fifth-dimensional downloads.
You might think Earth is a simulation.
That you were once a Pleiadian.
That the government is hiding Galactic Federation contact.
That crop circles are signs.
That disclosure is near.
That the vibes will save us.

You might believe in the prosperity gospel.
That God wants you rich.
That faith equals wealth.
That giving money to a preacher is sowing a seed that will bloom into miracles.
That poverty is spiritual failure.
That Bentleys are blessings.

You might believe in Heaven’s Gate.
That the Earth is about to be recycled.
That the Hale-Bopp comet hid a spaceship for the chosen.
That suicide was the exit strategy.
That human bodies were containers.
And the real journey was just beginning.

You might blend it all:
Crystals + aliens + Atlantis + Jesus + pyramid energy + psychedelics + quantum mechanics + social media + YouTube sermons + light codes.
You might call it awakening.
Or disclosure.
Or ascension.

But if you wear the label, if you spread the post, if you say, “This is what I believe,” then this is the system you’re opting into.

Even if it sounds like sci-fi.
Even if it makes your own mom raise an eyebrow.
Even if you have to explain it with seven disclaimers and an Instagram highlight reel.
