In a village not so far away, the people have been raised to believe that their life depends on avoiding the Boogeyman.

From cradle to grave in this culture the people are on high alert to avoid coming into contact with the Boogeyman.

They are told horrible stories about what the Boogeyman does to people who don’t follow the protocols.

So they inject their bodies with anti-Boogeyman potions.

They wear anti-Boogeyman costumes.

They anoint their hands with anti-Boogeyman serum.

None of these people have ever seen the Boogeyman…

But they have heard thousands of scary Boogeyman stories.

They believe the Boogeyman experts who have done Boogeyman studies.

They never stop to question the existence of the Boogeyman, they aren’t sure how exactly the Boogeyman works, they never read the Boogeyman studies for themselves… they just believe.

They never stop to consider that maybe the Boogeyman has been an elaborate story the whole time… they just believe.

They believe they’ve experienced the presence of the Boogeyman.

They are completely convinced their bad experiences have been due to the Boogeyman.

“The Boogeyman put me in the hospital once! I know he’s real!”

Sure, the villagers pay a lot of money for anti-Boogeyman products and services and shape their life around avoidance of the Boogeyman...

But that’s because the experts that teach the Boogeyman doctrine want to keep people safe… it’s not just a big business.

They want to help keep people alive and out of harms way because the Boogeyman is really that bad.

So they go on living in fear year after year.

One day a man came to town and explained to the villagers that the Boogeyman doesn’t exist.

That the Boogeyman is a legend based on a fantasy from 200 years ago.

The story has been passed down and elaborated on over time, but it has never been proven to be true.

He told them how the Boogeyman experts perform studies using a smoke and mirrors technique which makes it seem as though the Boogeyman is really there.

He tried to get them to see that while they’ve been impressed and convinced by these studies they’ve never investigated the methods used.

He tried to show them that their fear of the Boogeyman is extremely profitable and that they are cash cows for the anti-Boogeyman industry.

He tried to help them understand how easy they were to control and manipulate because of their fear.

He tried to get them to read the studies for themselves.

He invited them to shed their fear and their anti-Boogeyman gear.

The villagers tried to listen to the man, but they struggled to entertain the radical possibility that they’ve been duped their whole lives.

They all began telling stories about a time the Boogeyman got them or a friend and the terrible experience they had.

They said they couldn’t read or understand the studies because they were just simple villagers.

They couldn’t believe that the whole Boogeyman industry could be based on a fantasy.

Then they began to think the man was dangerous, despite him having no incentive to deceive them.

Their fear of the Boogeyman-denier grew and they decided to run him out of town.

Clutching their anti-Boogeyman paraphernalia they stumbled back to their fearful world.
The way the modern world treats chronic physical and mental health issues creates more problems than it solves.⁣

“Standard of Care” usually makes people sicker.⁣

It numbs.⁣

It masks symptoms.⁣

It buries trauma.⁣

It encourages addiction.⁣

It nurtures victimhood.⁣

It teaches weakness, brokenness, and unchageability.⁣

It allows people to keep on living in the same way.⁣

It makes it so they never have to face the true root for everything in their life.⁣

It teaches people to treat symptoms instead of causes.⁣

If you’re not being taught the cause of your issues, you are a lifetime patient/dependent/customer.⁣

You will always need to outsource to a higher power if you do not know yourself as First Cause.⁣

If your guide isn’t leading you back to yourself they are leading you astray.⁣
