Hidden elites, consciousness and power: what if there’s always another level above?👆
In this (FIRST!) episode Bram & Smitty discuss whether there’s always another elite above the one you can see, and what actually makes someone powerful: money, access, knowledge, influence, ability, or awareness.
They follow the idea into manifestation, spirituality, Robert Monroe, the Gateway Experience, Gnosticism, consciousness, “loosh,” and the strange possibility that love and fear might play a much bigger role in reality than we understand.
The conversation then turns to whether anything is actually viral, whether a true “mainstream” exists, whether NPCs are real, and what separates attention, influence, status, and actual power in the internet age.

TAKEAWAYS
There are always higher levels of elites and knowledge beyond what we see.
Hidden knowledge and esoteric teachings may be waiting for the right moment to be revealed.
The universe and reality may be fractal, with patterns repeating at different scales.
Manifestation and higher consciousness are linked to understanding and influence.
The perception of power is relative and depends on one's position in the hierarchy.
Love and fear are fundamental energies that may be harvested or used by higher entities.
Humility and curiosity are essential for exploring the nature of reality.
Shared symbols and language shape our collective understanding.
The influence of media and virality is limited to specific bubbles and does not reflect universal truth.
Understanding the microcosm and macrocosm can provide insights into the nature of existence.
ABOUT WDYT PODCAST
WDYT? (What Do You Think?) is a podcast where Bram and Smitty bring ideas, observations, theories and unfinished thoughts to each other, guests and interesting people from the internet—and ask one simple question: What do you think?
There’s no fixed category. One thought might take us into money, technology, culture, consciousness, science, philosophy, human behavior or somewhere completely unexpected.
We’re not here to debate, convince each other or pretend we have the answers. We explore the idea, question our assumptions, follow the rabbit holes and see what we discover.
Come with a thought. Leave more curious.

There is only one way out of this and this is to go inwards so you may remember who you are. One crucial detail though... For this the false self needs to die the metaphorical death and this is the hardest thing a person can do. It is to face your own shadow and nothing is harder. It is to break, not to lose yourself totally, but to break open, because a full cup cannot be filled.
- As within so without, as above so below, as the universe so the soul - ❤
