Hello and welcome to the show. This is the Cult of Conspiracy and my name is Jonathan and today we are going to be getting inside the mind of

why people like conspiracies, why people like you and me and all of the cult members out there, why are we so magnetized to conspiracies?

What's your first thought on that? Is it because like try and get logical with it, like try and understand the mind, what makes you so attracted to the idea that all these things, everything that we're being told,

there's a conspiracy towards everything. I'm not hating on it. I believe it all the way. I'm saying I just want to understand why are we so into it, why are the cult members so into it, and why are we look down upon by others?

You know what, and I'm going to give this preface also. I had no idea what this episode was going to be about. Jonathan said, hey bro, I got one to show up and I was like, do I need to do anything for you?

Nope. I just want a freeformer with you. I got my shit together. Let's see what happens. I had no idea that this was what this was going to be about.

So okay, I love this. I love this. All right. So I'm getting spiritual with conspiracies. I'm taking, I'm taking my two favorite things to talk about.

And that's spirituality and conspiracy. And I want to show everybody how they are interwovenly connected.

I love this. I love this. All right. So let's think about that. Right. Why do people, especially now in pop culture, like being a conspiracy theorist and like even celebrities are saying, like the ones who actually got to figure it out, like being a conspiracy theorist is no longer some sort of like, oh, that person.

No, dude, people are waking up more and more, but why for the longest time was brain is the bad thing? Yes, I said, but why did people always dig deeper? Why was the JFK assassination still talked about even by sticks in the mud who do not do conspiracies?

But think about what you just said, right? People are waking up even more. Yes. And so for me personally, right, what got me into the conspiracies as a whole, not just the one thing or the two thing, right?

Like what was the thing that fired off in your brain whenever you were so shocked that you were lied to to come upon some different evidence than than what the rest of the world was shown.

So and it was kind of a two-parter for me. It was a part one and then a part two, which led me down this path. Okay. It was for number one, no one likes being lied to.

Okay. No one likes being deceived, right? Across the board. And when you find out a little bit of information that leads you to believe and then you do some digging and you realize, I have been lied to for my entire life.

So right off the bat, give you a little chip on the shoulder, right? Then as you do the digging and you find out what groups are in charge of this and what groups are pulling the strings on this.

Me, this is where my faith came in and in the book that I base my morals and judgment off of. It says to whatever is had done in secret, let it be brought to light.

There is nothing that should be secret at all. If it's done in secret, that means that it is obviously up to no good. All knowledge should be out for the people, all wisdom. If it's done in secret, it must be bad. It must be wrong.

So I agree. Whenever I found out that I had been lied to for my entire life by these groups doing shit in secret, it was well. Right off the bat, let's go. How deep is this really go?

Next thing you know, you're a conspiracy theorist. Yeah, essentially. Yeah, yeah. And that's becoming more acceptable by the minute, I believe.

And you know what I really love about it the most, bro? Yeah.

And I remember whenever I first started really getting into the conspiracies, I told everybody my first real conspiracy that I went down into the deepest depths was flat earth.

Yeah. And that's for a lot of people because that unravels a lot of threads. Oh my God. It is so deep. It's a whole like DC universe.
