A New Plan for Masks-Off

The following is written in a positive and literal style. If it seems otherwise, it’s because of driver interference. Watch out for valence and tone!


Hi everybody!

Hope you’re doing well today! I know you’ve made some serious changes over the weekend, particularly in terms of conscientious objection to harmful project practises, and I hear you’ve been succeeding with those efforts in a real big way. So congratulations and well done!

As I’ve said before, the more you put new more constructive and prosocial behaviours into action when confronting the project’s way of doing things, the better life is going to get for everyone, so keep up the good work and keep going.

Remember that it’s when you put the strategies and approaches, including Conscientious Objection, into action—in actual reality—that they really work powerfully to make positive changes happen. Speaking as your true self, standing up against abuses for real, and claiming just one side of the issue in all contexts that issue appears in, is how these approaches make powerful changes happen. Setting up simulated routines and acting out the strategies only in simulations will probably change the simulations, but it probably won’t make much difference in actual reality.

Actual reality is where we really live, where we truly think and feel and where we truly function. Actual reality is where we need to direct our efforts to make real change happen.

The sooner you cut out the middle man of simulations and symbolic routines, the better. Because most of the time simulations and symbolic routines don’t actually make any positive changes happen at all. At the same time, symbolic actions and simulated routines are always contributing to prolonging both the simulations system and the false public world of Mandatory Reality.

One of the biggest effects of the simulations system—Central, its shells, and the limitless bubble realities they produce—as well as the false public world of Mandatory Reality, is that they delude, trap, and ultimately psychologically enslave everybody who has to live with them.

That is really one of the main reasons these systems and practises exist!

We’ve got Masks-Off Day coming up on Saturday and I think it’s pretty clear that almost nobody is ready for the full overground campaign right now—the jumping straight to renouncing the project and heading out to the tents and the wilds on day one and so on.

Things are changing fast and the efforts you’re making as a collective campaign within the project against its oppressive and self-defeating systems and routines are working. At the same time, because of how fast things are changing, it’s almost impossible to predict what the world will be like in a couple of days, never mind by the end of the week!

A best-of-both-worlds approach to Masks-Off Day has been floated and as far as I can see, it seems like something that would suit everybody.

The idea is, essentially, instead of having one big day as a base-camp for people going full Masks-Off from day one, we could have a rolling day of Masks-Off, where the platform is set up at the square for getting closer to true freedom and actual reality every day.

On the standard days, I’ll bring a Masks-Off donate sign every day from 2pm – 3pm (unless otherwise announced), take to the bench, and you can use the opportunity to practise things like Less Dance, More You and Literal Details. In other words, you can practise breaking out of the act and showing more of your true self much more openly, while progressively taking efforts to speak even more truthfully and literally about actual reality and the project itself.

Always remember, it’s impossible to do Less Dance, More You and Literal Details as part of a simulation because those strategies are about working in reality. If you’re pretending to use the strategy Literal Details, which involves speaking about actual reality, in a simulation then you’re not really practising the strategy at all. Same with Less Dance, More You. If the “You” in the More You part is just another false character, then you’re not really practising showing your true self at all. Trying to do those things in a simulated routine with false characters is just more game-playing and it only keeps you trapped.

In terms of regular Masks-Off Days, practising those strategies more often—for real and in actual reality—will bring you closer and closer to Masks-Off for yourself, while at the same time it will be actively and constructively building actual reality around you when you do, which is an effort that has a serious positive effect for everybody and our true society itself.

Having every day as Masks-Off will also massively reduce the potential pressure and tension of the events, instead of only having one day a month to make it or break it, before having to wait for the next one to reach the opportunity again.

As such, I reckon I’ll set up the signs and placards on Saturday from 1pm – 4pm and we’ll do our best to make the day as close to Masks-Off as we can get for everybody. A day for truth and true expression, a day for actual reality instead of simulations!

Please let me know if that plan suits when I’m in town later!

I’ll be adding the strategies Less Dance, More You and Less Circus, More Reality to the Fighting for Reality section of the Strategies of Overt Resistance later this week, as well as a strategy for confronting and breaking out of simulations at the same time. That will probably be on Wednesday, as long as all goes according to plan!

As such, Saturday’s Masks-Off Day will be the perfect opportunity to try putting the strategies into action for real.

After that, every day I’m at the Square will be Masks-Off Day and eventually—sooner or later—we’ll get some full Masks-Offers who’ve made it all the way. Right now, nobody could say for certain when that’s likely to happen, but everything we do in the meantime can build directly and actively towards it.

Important note: Whatever you do, don’t set up any project routines on Masks-Off Day based on simulated Masks-Offers! That would only confuse and confound everybody, for very obvious reasons!

Masks-Offers are real people breaking out of the false characters and the simulations for real, in actual reality. That’s you and me, as we really are, behind the masks and the playing along.

I’ll repeat, DO NOT set up any simulated routines based on simulated Masks-Offers!

Set up other project routines instead, as close to The Right Approach as possible, and then use those routines as a platform to break out of character as your true self for real.

We need the Masks-Off process to be happening in actual reality. It’s about breaking out of simulations and false roles, not playing along with them.

Putting that process into simulations at the same time, would make it very difficult for people to tell who was really breaking out character and who was merely playing a character pretending to break out of another character.

One approach is sanity, the other is madness. One approach gets you closer to reality—closer to the exit of the simulations system and Mandatory Reality—while the other sends you back into another simulated loop that doesn’t get you anywhere, but does create serious suffering for you and those around you.

Remember that masks and disguises and fake routines are the real tools of delusion and psychological slavery, whether you are trying to use them that way or not!

That is what the drivers do with them, especially if you’re not taking active efforts to neutralise those effects, in literal and truthful open terms.

We need to avoid people being deluded about Masks-Off at all costs!

That’s all for now folks, look after yourselves and stay strong.

Focus your efforts on actual reality, endeavour to use the Right Approach, say no to project abuses every time you can, and keep going! If you do more of the right things, the right ways, this world will only change for the better.
