The Great Contradiction: Why Most “Awakened” People Are Still Playing the Game

The Great Contradiction: Why Most “Awakened” People Are Still Playing the Game

By Delahrose

I'm not perfect - I'm aware of what I see- (I’ve grown tired of the noisy noise with no roots and information without application. It’s all for the distracted mind to remain distracted—caught up in entanglement breeding fear and agitation.)

They talk about freedom.

They talk about sovereignty.

They talk about breaking free from the system.

But look a little closer—and you’ll see most of them are still sitting at the table, playing the same game they claim to reject.

They’re voting in the elections.

They’re paying into the same banks.

They’re following the marketing funnels.

They’re using the same algorithms.

They’re investing in systems they say are corrupt.

They’re waiting on “the new world” while profiting off the old one.

They complain about control—

but still seek validation, money, and security through the very structures that create the control.

This is the great contradiction. And it’s time we name it.

You Can’t Break a System While Feeding It

You cannot dismantle a system you continue feeding with your attention, energy, money, and belief.

You cannot talk about being “unplugged” if you’re still:

• Strategizing your visibility to fit the algorithm.

• Participating in financial systems you call corrupted.

• Seeking success by the very definitions that enslaved you.

Voting for a new face doesn’t change the structure.

Creating “ethical” businesses inside a broken paradigm doesn’t fix the foundation.

And building spiritual brands on platforms that reward manipulation and image doesn’t lead to collective liberation.

It’s all still the system—just dressed in conscious clothing.

The Truth? Most People Are Still Addicted to the Game

Even those who scream the loudest about “waking up”—

are still plugged in.

They post warnings about digital control while growing audiences on the platforms that track their every move.

They talk about the Matrix while investing in real estate portfolios, coaching programs, and gold bars—

but not asking the fundamental question: How will this be transacted in a controlled digital economy?

They still define wealth in fiat terms.

Still, seek recognition from social validation.

Still playing the comparison game—just with different outfits.

This isn’t sovereignty.

This is still survival—dressed in spiritual language.

If You’re Not Offering Real Solutions—You’re Just Stirring the Pot

What good is fear-based information with no path forward?

It’s easy to share warnings:

“They’re going to control us.”

“They’re taking away your freedom.”

“They’ll lock you out of the system.”

But what are you actually doing about it?

Most of the “solutions” are performative:

• “Buy physical gold.” (But how do you use it at the petrol station?)

• “Build your brand.” (Using what? Instagram? The same system that censors dissent?)

• “Vote for better leaders.” (In a rigged framework built to perpetuate itself?)

It’s recycled outrage with no blueprint for change.

Take the electric car—hailed as the poster child for environmental progress. People who drive Teslas or any EV often believe they’re doing their part to “save the planet.” But where is that electricity really coming from? In most parts of the world, it’s still powered by the very fossil fuels they claim to oppose. And what about the lithium that powers those sleek, silent batteries? It’s being mined—often under brutal, exploitative conditions—from regions like Africa and South America, where the environmental destruction is catastrophic and the human cost even worse.

This isn’t progress. It’s a rebranded cycle of extraction, just with a cleaner-looking logo. We believe that replacing oil rigs with lithium pits and carbon with cobalt is better for the environment—and we’ve told ourselves it’s a revolution. But scratch the surface, and it’s the same system: wearing a green mask. It’s marketed as sustainability, but underneath, it’s still about consumption, control, and corporate profit. And we buy it. Not because it’s true—but because it’s packaged to feel good. Because people don’t dig—they drive.

Absolute Sovereignty Isn’t Loud. It’s Lived.

It doesn’t scream in the comments section.

It doesn’t hashtag rebellion while chasing followers.

It doesn’t wear sovereignty like a badge—it lives it quietly, with integrity.

Real sovereignty means:

• You stop trying to win at a game you’ve already seen is rigged.

• You start living as if your energy is your only currency.

• You stop investing in systems that profit from your dependency.

• You don’t sell fear. You don’t sell hope. You embody clarity.

You leave the table.

And you start building something else.

Not by talking louder—but by walking differently.

We Need Fewer Influencers and More Architects

This isn’t about cancelling systems—it’s about outgrowing them.

It’s about:

• Clean energy—mental, emotional, physical, and financial.

• Self-regulated nervous systems that don’t need drama to feel alive.

• Creating value through resonance, not algorithms.

• Building exchanges rooted in integrity, not manipulation.

We don’t need more conspiracy theories.

We don’t need more flashy leaders telling us what to believe.

We need clear-thinking, deeply anchored humans who stop playing and start architecting.

And that starts with asking the one question most avoid:

“How am I/we still enabling the very thing I say I’m against?”

There is more crime now in 2025 than at any other point in modern history—not just in the streets but in the unseen layers of digital manipulation, data harvesting, and algorithmic surveillance. People scream about identity theft while willingly feeding their identity into systems designed to mine, map, and monetize their every move. The irony is piercing: to participate in the game, your identity is the currency. It’s the entry fee. Your face, preferences, biometrics, location, and habits all become code in someone else’s profit model.

And here’s the most brutal truth: we’ve empowered the system by willingly taking part. We’ve strengthened the machine we claim is corrupt and out to control us. Can’t you see the contradiction? This is truth hiding in plain sight—and everyone’s a player, even those who complain.

The Mirror Is Here

This article isn’t about judgment.

It’s about honesty.

And it’s about alignment.

If you’ve been talking about freedom while still trying to succeed within the machine—it’s okay.

But now is the time to be honest with yourself.

Are you feeding the fire you say you want to put out?

Because the only thing more dangerous than the system—

is the illusion that you’ve left it when you haven’t.

And I say this not from a pedestal but from my own reflection. I still earn income within the system. I still pay taxes. I still put petrol in my car. I still drive on roads built and maintained by governments. I still buy groceries from supermarkets stocked by trucks and industrial supply chains. On a physical mundane level, I’m not pretending to be outside it —I’m no longer blind to it.

This isn’t about blaming. This is about waking up.

Because the truth is that most people aren’t victims of the system—they’re participants in it. We’ve mistaken dependence for oppression and distraction for awareness. But until you’re ready to change the game, walk away from the table, and stop feeding the machine, you have no right to keep pointing fingers while cashing in your chips.

Stop complaining about a game you’re still playing.

See it for what it is: a structure. A cycle. A carefully programmed illusion.

And if you’re still in it, at least own it with your eyes open. Because real power isn’t in pretending you’re free—it’s in knowing exactly where you stand and choosing your next move with clarity.
