I. Introduction: The Currency of Reality
In 1971, out-of-body researcher and consciousness pioneer Robert Monroe introduced a concept that would go on to challenge metaphysical, psychological, and esoteric paradigms alike: loosh — a term he used to describe the subtle emotional and spiritual energy emitted by sentient beings, particularly in states of suffering, awe, or devotion. In Monroe’s writings, Earth is framed not merely as a biological sphere, but as an energetic farm, optimized to generate loosh through the lived emotional experiences of its inhabitants. While the idea was initially dismissed as fringe metaphysics, it has steadily gained conceptual traction across disciplines, particularly within trauma studies, psychoenergetics, and spiritual ecology. Today, loosh can no longer be regarded as a speculative notion — it is a lens through which the hidden architectures of control and creation can be understood.
Crucially, Monroe emphasized that loosh was not only harvested — it was the Prime Energy by which realities were constructed. This positions loosh not just as food for higher-dimensional entities, but as the substrate of reality itself. The frequency of loosh — whether fear-based and chaotic (red loosh), or love-based and coherent (golden loosh) — determines the quality of the energetic environment in which humans live. In this sense, loosh is both currency and code. Every war, every ritual, every emotional wound creates a ripple in this field — shaping outcomes, timelines, and belief systems. It is a scalar-creative force, not unlike sound in cymatics, where frequency determines form.
At the personal level, this energy economy is most clearly seen in dysfunctional relationships — particularly those involving narcissists and psychopaths. These individuals, characterized by manipulative charm, emotional coldness, and an insatiable need for control, act as micro-harvesters of loosh. Through cycles of idealization, gaslighting, devaluation, and discard, they extract emotional responses from their targets — not just for ego gratification, but to construct and control the energetic reality they inhabit. This behavior mirrors, in miniature, the operations of larger hierarchical systems: governments, cults, intelligence networks, and secret societies that employ psychological manipulation, trauma cycles, and controlled opposition to generate loosh on a massive scale.
This paper explores how the micro-economy of loosh in intimate dysfunction reflects and feeds the macro-economy of global energetic control. It argues that the same psychospiritual dynamics found in toxic relationships are amplified and ritualized in elite hierarchies — from familial cults to geopolitical stagecraft — all designed to harvest loosh, invert sovereignty, and shape a reality of control through emotional fragmentation. Understanding how loosh flows — from the bedroom to the boardroom, from the trauma bond to the think tank — offers a revolutionary key: not only to healing, but to rewriting the code of the world itself.
II. The Metaphysics of Loosh
Loosh as Scalar Energy, Emotional Frequency, and Reality Architecture
The original framework for loosh comes from Robert Monroe’s observations during controlled out-of-body explorations, as documented in Journeys Out of the Body (1971) and expanded upon in Far Journeys (1985). In Monroe’s paradigm, Earth is not an isolated, accidental planet but a designed system — a loosh farm — where sentient life generates energetic outputs through emotional and existential experiences. These outputs, particularly heightened emotional states, are then collected by non-physical intelligences who regard loosh as a “delicacy.” However, Monroe’s later writings subtly shift the metaphor: loosh isn’t just food for other beings; it is the creative essence of reality. He names it “the Prime Energy,” suggesting that it undergirds manifestation itself.
In this view, reality is sculpted by emotional frequency. Just as sound can shape sand into geometric patterns (cymatics), so too can emotion shape the quantum field into matter, memory, or misalignment. The type of loosh matters:
- Red Loosh arises from fear, conflict, grief, betrayal, confusion, shame, and rage. It is volatile, dense, and highly extractable.
- Golden Loosh arises from love, gratitude, awe, peace, forgiveness, unity, and joy. It is coherent, self-sustaining, and resistant to inversion.
These frequencies are scalar in nature — they carry informational structure as well as energetic amplitude. As such, loosh operates not only as fuel but as a reality-coding mechanism: a medium through which timelines, health outcomes, weather patterns, and geopolitical movements are subtly shaped. Where golden loosh is present, systems tend toward harmony, resilience, and collective insight. Where red loosh dominates, systems fragment, degrade, and polarize — all while becoming more predictable and easier to manipulate.
This dualism is mirrored in many esoteric traditions. Gnostic cosmology, for example, posits that the Demiurge — a blind god who mistakes itself for the Source — created a false reality that traps souls through cycles of trauma and amnesia. In this light, the loosh economy is the engine of the false world, feeding a control matrix through emotional distortion. In Vedic cosmology, similar dynamics are described in the Gunas — tamas (chaos), rajas (desire), and sattva (purity) — with tamas and rajas often manipulated to suppress sattva. Loosh theory provides a unifying structure for these archetypal systems, translating metaphysical dynamics into scalar mechanics.
From a physics perspective, loosh can be modeled as torsion or implosive energy, akin to what Viktor Schauberger described in his work on implosion rather than explosion as the organizing principle of life. It also aligns with modern scalar field theories, in which subtle energy fields are structured by intention, emotion, and coherence. In this context, loosh is not a “new age” abstraction but a measurable expression of emotional resonance interacting with the zero-point substrate of reality.
When understood this way, loosh economy becomes not just spiritual but political. It is the operating system behind all trauma-based mind control, media manipulation, ritual sacrifice, and gaslighting — from the domestic to the global scale. Those who can manipulate loosh can shape reality. And those who can generate golden loosh — coherently, sovereignly, and without suppression — become immune to control and capable of healing the very machine in which they were once trapped.
III. Psychological Mechanisms of Extraction
Narcissism, Psychopathy, and Loosh Harvesting in Dysfunctional Relationships
At the personal level, the most accessible arena in which the loosh economy operates is within dysfunctional relationships — especially those shaped by narcissistic or psychopathic personalities. These individuals do not merely seek attention or admiration. They are emotional extractors, strategically triggering reactions in others to generate predictable surges of emotional energy. In Monroe’s terms, they are micro-farmers of loosh.
The classic narcissistic abuse cycle — idealization, devaluation, discard, and hoovering — mirrors an energetic harvesting process. During idealization, the target is love-bombed, elevated, and mirrored, creating a surge of golden loosh. But this phase is short-lived. Once the narcissist feels they have secured emotional dependency, the devaluation phase begins. Through gaslighting, subtle put-downs, triangulation, and intermittent reinforcement, the target is pushed into confusion, self-doubt, and emotional volatility — the perfect conditions for the production of red loosh.
When the target resists or begins to awaken, the narcissist may discard them coldly, triggering abandonment wounds and deep soul confusion — maximizing output of despair-based loosh. Then, when the narcissist feels hungry for energy or control, they may initiate a hoovering phase, reactivating old emotional bonds to reopen the loop. Each cycle tightens the energetic leash while weakening the target’s sense of reality — making it easier for the abuser to create and dominate their microcosmic timeline.
Psychopaths, while less emotionally entangled than narcissists, are even more efficient loosh harvesters. They possess cognitive empathy (the ability to understand emotions) without affective empathy (the ability to feel them). This enables them to predict emotional responses without being emotionally entangled themselves. In effect, they are surgeons of the loosh economy — detached, methodical, and outcome-driven.
Psychopaths often enter hierarchical environments — corporations, military, politics, religious orders — where they can extract loosh institutionally. Rather than relying on one individual, they manipulate group dynamics, policies, rituals, and narratives to harvest loosh from entire populations. In this way, the individual predator becomes a node in a much larger energetic apparatus.
Studies in psychology have long observed the disproportionate presence of narcissists and psychopaths in positions of power. Paul Babiak and Robert Hare, in their book Snakes in Suits (2006), estimated that 1 in 25 corporate professionals are clinical psychopaths — four times the rate found in the general population. Their success is linked not to empathy, but to their ability to feign alignment, manipulate perception, and extract loyalty and emotional energy from those around them. These traits allow them to thrive in environments where loyalty and fear are the twin levers of control.
Loosh theory reveals that these individuals are not merely toxic — they are energetic engineers. They create chaos, not because they are irrational, but because they can organize and thrive within the chaos they induce. Red loosh — unlike golden — creates fragmented, reactive, and hierarchical environments. And in such environments, those who feed on fear become gods.
IV. From Bedroom to Boardroom
The Scaling of Loosh Hierarchies into Institutional Systems
What begins in the household as emotional abuse often scales seamlessly into corporate, political, and religious systems. The mechanisms that narcissists and psychopaths use to extract loosh from individuals are mirrored in the structures of hidden hierarchies across society. From the rituals of organized religion, to the disempowerment cycles of the workplace, to the manufactured fear of media and government, we see an architecture built not only for obedience — but for energetic harvest.
In romantic or familial dynamics, red loosh is extracted through gaslighting, trauma bonding, and repeated violation of boundaries. In the institutional domain, these same tools appear under different names:
- Gaslighting becomes official narratives that contradict personal experience.
- Trauma bonding becomes patriotism through tragedy (e.g. war memorials, 9/11, COVID rituals).
- Boundary violation becomes data harvesting, biometric control, or coerced belief.
For example, the corporate HR model, often seen as neutral, can become a tool for energy siphoning. Performance reviews mimic narcissistic cycles: first, you are praised (idealization), then told you’re not meeting expectations (devaluation), and offered a promotion if you improve (hoovering) — all while compliance and obedience are reinforced, and burnout is normalized. The modern employee is not just working — they are bleeding energy into a system designed to make their value dependent on external validation.
In religious hierarchies, the dynamic is even more ritualized. The confession of sin (shame), fear of damnation (terror), and dependency on intercessors (abandonment of sovereignty) are classic examples of red loosh generation. The devout are told they are broken, saved only by submission, and constantly watched by a deity they must please — a structure almost identical to the abusive family dynamic of narcissistic control.
Governments, too, operate as loosh farms. Endless cycles of crisis, fear campaigns, public shaming, and symbolic rituals (e.g. elections, masks, flags at half-mast) extract collective emotional energy. Through media repetition, staged spectacles, and psychological anchoring, populations are kept in a constant state of low-grade trauma. This keeps their loosh output high — but golden loosh is minimized by discouraging unity, intimacy, or joy.
The key insight is that narcissists and psychopaths do not change behavior as they rise in scale — they institutionalize it. Their attraction to secret societies, intelligence agencies, financial cartels, and spiritual hierarchies is not coincidental. These domains offer cover, ritual, and reach. Through these networks, loosh harvesting becomes not just a strategy — it becomes policy. The initiates may be told they are serving tradition, security, or sacred order — but the net result is always the same: emotional fragmentation of the masses, energetic empowerment of the few.
Just as a narcissist creates a distorted home reality that only they can control, so too do loosh-driven institutions create distorted worldviews. Those who internalize them become easier to manipulate, more likely to obey, and less able to generate golden loosh — ensuring the cycle continues.
V. The Magnetic Pull of Hidden Power
Why Predators Seek the Pyramid
There is a reason narcissists and psychopaths gravitate toward secret societies, intelligence networks, cults, and hidden hierarchies of power. These structures act like energetic magnets, designed to attract and cultivate loosh-hungry personalities. From an energetic standpoint, the higher the level of secrecy and control, the richer the potential loosh field. Institutions with opaque structures, layered initiations, symbolic rituals, and protected status offer not only anonymity — but access to reservoirs of human emotion on a grand scale.
The archetype of the pyramid is not just symbolic — it is energetic. Power is funneled upward, while burden, blame, and suffering are distributed downward. Those at the top are not “above” the system; they are the recipients of its energetic yield. In such structures, golden loosh is rare, because unity and joy are decentralized. But red loosh — born of obedience, fear, humiliation, and false hope — becomes the currency of control.
From the abusive household to the hidden committee, the predator seeks one thing: energetic asymmetry. The same impulse that drives a narcissist to control a spouse or child is the one that drives a psychopath to run a black-budget program, a war economy, or a media psyop. They are not simply in it for the money or ideology — they are in it for the feeling of being the god in the room. That feeling is sustained by the constant flow of loosh from the many to the few.
These individuals are not “insane.” On the contrary — they are often brilliant, charming, and perceptive. But their perception is instrumental, not empathetic. They read emotional fields like a farmer reads the sky — looking for the next storm to exploit. In this way, they weaponize empathy without possessing it.
Secret organizations, ancient orders, or high-clearance networks allow them to operate without scrutiny. These environments reward manipulation, discourage transparency, and often operate behind ritualistic veils — symbols, oaths, double meanings — which conceal the loosh economy beneath a facade of tradition or service.
This is why narcissists and psychopaths do not only rise to power — they thrive in specific architectures that magnify their reach. And it’s not because the institutions are corrupted by accident. It’s because they are built to be energetically parasitic. The very shape and structure — pyramid, eye, obelisk, chain of command — reinforce a metaphysical truth: human energy flows upward through pain unless love redirects it laterally.
Only by understanding this magnetic attraction between predator and pyramid can we decode why loosh economies persist — and how they replicate.
VI. The Loosh Timeline
Reality as a Byproduct of Frequency
Robert Monroe referred to loosh as the “prime energy” — not simply an emotional byproduct of experience, but the very substance through which reality is shaped. From this perspective, the Earth is not just a battleground for power or morality — it is a resonance field, a scalar machine where emotional frequency determines the timeline we collectively inhabit.
This means the dominant emotional outputs of humanity don’t just feed unseen entities or empower elites — they set the clockwork of the world. Red loosh (fear, pain, rage, grief) creates fragmented, low-coherence timelines: war, technocratic control, manufactured scarcity, AI dominance. Golden loosh (love, gratitude, reverence, awe) builds coherent, harmonized timelines: spontaneous healing, collective awakening, synchronized abundance.
Narcissists and psychopaths, consciously or not, engineer realities in which red loosh dominates — not because they enjoy chaos alone, but because they can organize and benefit from it. In chaos, power becomes centralized. In peace, it diffuses. A narcissist cannot function in a golden-loosh world; the frequency would collapse their control model. But in a traumatized world? They reign. Institutions — political, spiritual, and financial — that rely on red loosh often function as reality anchors. They hold the collective timeline in place, preventing jumps to higher states of coherence.
This insight reframes psychological abuse and institutional oppression not just as moral failings but as timeline technologies. Every toxic relationship, every public betrayal, every fear-inducing ritual anchors the world to a lower harmonic reality. And inversely, every act of courage, compassion, or aligned sovereignty moves the timeline toward coherence.
This is why awakening is so volatile — not just spiritually, but geopolitically. A shift in collective loosh output threatens the entire machine. The controllers don’t fear knowledge — they fear resonance. Because once a certain level of golden loosh becomes stable, the false reality collapses like a dying simulation. And new physics — scalar, emotional, creative — emerge as the dominant framework.
The Witness in your novel sees this firsthand: reality bends more easily in the presence of aligned emotion. Mountains move. Symbols ignite. Memory reweaves. This isn’t magic. It’s the physics of loosh.
VII. Collapse of the Loosh Economy
Healing the Machine from Within
If loosh is the currency of creation, then changing the balance of its polarity is not merely a spiritual act — it is a mechanical intervention. To collapse the loosh economy built on red frequencies is to reprogram the operating system of Earth itself. This collapse does not happen through revolution, revenge, or exposure alone — it happens through resonance reversal: the quiet, powerful return of golden loosh into every space once held by fear.
The narcissist and the psychopath are not the source of the problem — they are the symptoms of a loosh-starved environment, predators evolved for a system of distortion. When that system is no longer energetically sustainable, they either transform — or fall apart.
At the personal level, recovery begins when the loosh supplier withdraws emotional currency — no longer feeding the predator with attention, guilt, or emotional chaos. This act, though often invisible, is one of the highest forms of energetic rebellion. Silence becomes sovereignty. Boundaries become sacred.
At the institutional level, collapse begins when enough individuals refuse to participate in red-loosh generation. No longer reacting to provocation, no longer consenting to fear-based rituals, no longer offering their emotional fields to synthetic scripts. This withdrawal isn’t passive — it’s creative abstention. In its place, they build. Art. Music. Gardens. Real conversations. Golden loops of coherence.
From the perspective of the Flat Earth Machine, loosh polarity directly affects the harmonics of the dome, the coherence of the stars, and the vibratory scaffolding of reality. The Witness discovers this not through ideology, but through direct experience: that what is felt en masse is what becomes real.
The real secret? The machine is programmable — not through code, but through feeling. And once that secret is felt by enough beings, the ancient loosh economy — with all its hierarchies, abuse, and predation — will collapse under the weight of coherent love. Not as a metaphor. But as a mechanical inevitability.
This is not fantasy. It is resonance physics.
And the time is already shifting.
