I've been puzzled about the so-called NPC Phenomenon for a long time. I've recently had some insights.
Firstly, let me say I've always disliked the term ‘NPC’. It feels dehumanizing and 'othering'. I don't believe anyone can be soulless. Spirit is all and is present in all life forms. I've never met anyone without a soul. I've only met people in a trance.
The concept of 'NPC' is misunderstood because 'reality' is misunderstood. Where do characters in dreams go when we're not perceiving them? What do they do, think, say? Are they alive on other planes of existence beyond the dream? Some are, some aren't. The same rules apply 'here'. Reality is rendered into being by our awareness. None of us exist. Only Spirit is real.
What is 'NPC'?
Regardless of the above, there seem to be two distinct human states. For want of a better term, let’s call these two states ‘NPC' and 'Non-NPC'.
In case you are new to this Timeline, NPC means 'non-playable character'. In gaming, a non-player character is a character that is not controlled by a player. The term originated in traditional tabletop role-playing games. In that context, it applies to characters controlled by the gamemaster.
As we've seen, most humans do not seem to be in control of themselves. If they were in control of themselves, they wouldn't inject themselves with poisons. That is plain to all of us with eyes to see. The COVID-19 psyop was an event that revealed our degree of sovereignty.
Many - perhaps most - are driven by forces beyond themselves. In the context of Earth Realm, that means the Matrix. Unseen forces have a grip on the majority of minds here. Most people are, effectively, asleep at the wheel. You and I have been in this state, too. We've all been in a trance to one degree or another. You and I have been NPC also.
I woke up to my own brainwashing in stages. It wasn't an easy or smooth process. I know I was never as deeply asleep as many, yet I wasn't awake. There were many pivotal moments in my 'awakening'. I could pin it down to particulars, but I'm likely to touch on controversial subjects if I do that. I don't have the patience to deal with the ensuing comments.
But let's say I realized 'they' were lying to us about nearly everything and had been all our lives. In fact, I had direct, clear evidence that shocked me to my core that the mainstream media were filthy liars. But, again, I'm not going to talk about it here. If the fact that the media lies is news to you, then you must have fallen through an Improbability Drive.
Incidentally, the word ‘drive’ may be comms for the NPC state. 'Self-drive cars' may be a code for NPC.
So, what is behind this seeming lack of agency? Why are some of us more 'present' while most seem to be sleepwalking? First, let's have a look at some of the ways we can be 'controlled'.
The hackable human
The term 'hackable human' refers to the idea that humans can be manipulated or controlled. It suggests we can be hacked like computer systems. This hacking may have nefarious or positive intentions. The term has been discussed in several books. The most famous is probably, ‘Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow’ by Yuval Noah Harari.
We may be hacked through various means:
Psychological and Behavioral Influence:
Psychological manipulation, social engineering and persuasive technology are the most obvious means. Our 'education' system is one big brainwashing operation. The more 'educated' we are, the stupider we become. Yes, it's true. Ok, I’m being a little extreme for effect, but you get my point.
Biological Hacking (Biohacking)
This involves modifying the body's functions. Just what are all those weird ingredients in our food? Why do they put fluoride in the water? And, of course, there are ‘vaccines’ and ‘medicine’.
Neurotechnology and Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs)
These are devices that can interact directly with the brain. Televisions, computers, smartphones.
Trauma-based control
Trauma-based control is the most insidious one, and it runs deep. Trauma severs our self-connection and makes us extremely malleable. I would argue that most wars, pandemics, terrorist attacks, illnesses, and famines are this. Yes, throughout all of history. They are purposeful traumatizing events designed to make human beings easy to control.
To understand how this works, consider the following scenario. You are in a building. Someone screams, “There's a man with a gun shooting everyone! Quick, run out this door!” The majority of people will obey the instructions to run out the door. Fear makes us highly obedient. So we see, then, how Covid worked. “You're all going to die of a horrible disease! Quick, inject this into your veins!” It was obvious to some of us, but, sadly, not to all.
What's going on?
On an energetic level, NPCs are not fully embodied here on this Timeline. Their soul essence is diluted as they are spread across various Timelines. They are not 'present'. They are just as 'alive' as you or I. Their soul is as real as you or I. But they are less connected to their Higher Self on this Timeline. It is this disconnection that makes them so easy to manipulate. Perhaps they are very present and aware on other Timelines. But they are allowing their avatars to run on auto-pilot on this one.
What can be done?
The only remedy to the NPC state is connection to Source. This connection immediately disempowers the forces of external control. Self-authority cancels out extrinsic authority. Effectively, we 'unplug' from the system and instead 'plug' into Source. It's very simple, and, yet, impossible to do for others. We can only do it for ourselves.
We're not here to wake up NPCs. Each soul has its own journey, its own timing. Only Spirit can wake up an NPC. It has to be the choice of that particular soul. Our only task is to deepen into our own awakening. Our awakening is not dependent upon theirs. Freedom is never dependent.
Our realization of Core Being - of the Love that we are - triggers awakening in others on many levels. But we can't act upon others to acheive this. As we reclaim our self-authority, we become immune to ‘hacking’. We reassert our Sovereignty, and we give others permission to do the same.
So, let's not call our fellow human beings ‘NPC'. This is a label unbecoming of Source Beings. They are simply sleeping, and that is their soul's choice. Like seeds in soil, they may need more time to germinate. They will awaken in due course and reclaim their autonomy. Our only task is to watch over them and love them until they do.
Excellent article. In relation to your comment about someone shouting and people running in response, it's worth looking at the story of what happened at the Shiloh Baptist Church, if you've not come across it. Someone shouted fight, due to an incident, and people thought they'd shouted fire. A stampede happened and many people died. It has parallels with what you've written about.
This is all very disturbing to me. I had been pondering the "NPC" role as well, and I had just recently come to the conclusion that they were not real. It gave me comfort, but unfortunately for my peace of mind, I am certain you are most prolly correct. Sigh.... This world is so complicated. 😔
