What stands out for me reflecting back is the agreements we make, often unconsciously.

I'd stubbornly decided that I wouldn't take part in their experiment early on. For me it was a risk:return calculation that made no sense. I said "no" to the agreements but also I felt pressured to make them.

Many were coerced to take them but very few were actually forced.

The dark forces know that they need your agreement to perform evil on you.
