Bittersweet Symphony

Listen to “Bittersweet Symphony” by The Verve.

A gay man: Sad. Sad but so true.

The song plays.

3:19

Gloria: FINE!

*She struggles.*

“The Pope”: *Freaks out.*

Gloria: *Screams.*

4:45

The song plays.

Cisneros: *Dances.*

5:54

Lacey: *Gets chills.*

The song ends.

Listen to “Black Out Days” by Phantogram.

Micheal Rockefeller: I tried to warn them, with this song specifically. Years ago.

Way before all of the current crises.

Gloria…-

God, she needs to be able to converse.

*A moment later.*

Gloria: Some man thinks I’m in competition with men like Lem. And that that’s my real issue.

I can’t comment on that right now. But…Lacey didn’t and doesn’t like women in that way anyway.

The man she’s talking about: FINE! But there are women who do!

A tall, straight, sensitive man? Wow! Whoddathunk!? *He laughs.*

Geez!

I’m a little bit like that myself! And I find your attack on Lacey to be an attack on me.

…I relate to Lem. I’m sensitive! You don’t think I’ve worried I was gay? I have! Many times. But I’m not…

I’m not attracted to men.

Why…do you BRATS…have to steal ALL of the chicks from guys like me? …Convincing all women that I don’t exist! MAN!

You’re SICK!

Gloria: *Vomits.*

A gay man: That’s-

She’s actually vomiting. I can tell.

*He almost wants to laugh.*

Okay.

So…-

Can someone else answer for Gloria?

A woman reading this blog: Do you all, in the possible Illuminati, try to brainwash us into believing that men like that don’t exist?

Jeff Bezos (if there’s an Illuminati): YES!

We do use subliminal messages. We use them to control you. Sometimes for your safety. And other times…people take advantage of our power.

A woman reading this blog: Why!?

Gloria: *Whimpers.*

Micheal Rockefeller: They want control.

It’s about control.

If you believe that men can be innocent and good…their narrative seems weak. Even if it’s not complete rubbish. …It still feels weak. Because people nowadays like easy answers.

Make sense?

The woman: That makes me mad.

I would rather…believe good men exist…and I just haven’t met them…than believe a dystopian lie.

Man, that makes me angry!

Gloria: *Screams* NO!!!

*It’s unclear why she’s screaming.*

Dolly: She’s brave.

I’m suffering a little too.

But Gloria is determined to talk to Lacey.

She’s being very brave.

“The Pope”: I can’t handle this!

A gay man: They’ll be fine.

I truly believe they’re in Purgatory.

Okay?

And if that makes me the Pope? Temporarily? Oh well.

*He shrugs.*

They were both teachers. And God holds us all accountable.

I’m sure nothing they’re experiencing isn’t deserved. And…if they’re not in Hell…they’ll be fine.

Look…it’s about sin. They’re being purified for Heaven. So…if they’re able to be accountable…I’d imagine the suffering gets easier?

Cisneros: YES!

I just gave-up.

I just completely gave-up.

A gay man: And yet you’re fine?

Cisneros: I’m better off than them.

*She shrugs.*

Lacey’s worried that the Pope is freaking out.

Lacey…we know. Catholics have conversations. We know that the Pope might be…off.

A gay man: Yeah!

So…can someone answer for Gloria?

Gloria: I’ll answer for myself.

I vomited.

And I’m going to vomit more.

But for now…I’m okay.

She’s right. By the way. Pamela? She’s right.

Pamela? Pam Kelly?

Make sense?

It’s dangerous. The witchcraft we do. Should we exist.

Anyway.

*She cries.*

Pamela…was tapping into the energy we created. Jealousy has been encouraged. Hatred against successful women…has been allowed. And encouraged.

If there’s an Illuminati…we thought it was redemptive. To encourage women like Pamela…to attack women like Erin Piacenti.

And the irony? Both Erin and Pamela…look like Lacey. And they’re from New York City.

Because we’re destructive. We’re incredibly destructive.

*Erin nods.*

Pamela Cisneros: Yeah!

So…you demonically inspired me to stab Erin?

The Illuminati (should it exist): Yes.

Pamela: It’s not “Eyes Wide Shut” no more! In the Illuminati. That was the past!

Y’all ate babies. Nowadays.

And Lacey has tried to explain. You can’t worship Mollock by eating no baby.

But…y’all keep telling yourselves that you’re in the right? Because…you were poor?

Gloria: Basically.

Pamela Cisneros: *Laughs.*

Wow.

So I’m confused. No, I really am.

And yes, I have the blood of Conquistadors in me. And I’m proud.

*She smiles.*

Why…do you need to- Why does destroying reality help?

*She waits.*

I mean…as a feminist…I feel like you should know that!! …Right? That destroying the natural order of things, as they are in nature, is…dangerous.

Erin: Would you have stabbed me…if you weren’t demonically inspired?

Pamela: No.

*She laughs.*

I’m not saying I was a safe person. No!

But…it wasn’t normal.

Now…answer my question!!!

Gloria: SHIT!!!

*Has something crawling on her skin. Some sort of bug.*

FINE!!!

NO!!!

FINE!!!

A Catholic reading this blog: Why do you keep struggling!?!

Gloria: BECAUSE I AM ME.

THINK!

…I’m a loud, pushy, rude, belligerent intellectual.

Do you know who I am!?!

I’m GLORIA STEINEM!!

*She laughs.*

I’m THEE Gloria Steinem.

God doesn’t obliterate us. He loves us too much. We have to get right with Him.

Make sense?

It is a relationship. In a way.

Anyway…-

I obviously messed-up.

Why didn’t I realize I was going about it completely wrong? Because…I wasn’t just an intellectual. I was also a pseudo intellectual.

Yes. I was…fake sometimes. Okay?

And I don’t want to say it, but at times I took shortcuts.

I wasn’t a psychopath. I was incompetent.

I didn’t realize I couldn’t alter reality. Even if it really irked me.

Casi (?): WHAT!?

Gloria: Yeah.

I earnestly believed, if there’s an Illuminati, that I had powers I didn’t have.

You’d be surprised.

Some of the things we can do…like levitation? I mean…- And no, I was human. Okay? So…it was shocking. I was in genuine shock.

If there’s an Illuminati…when I first joined it…I was in shock. I couldn’t believe it was all real. And it got to me. It gets to a lot of people.

People like Lacey are different. Lem is the same.

Whatever.

People like me? Man! It’s OVERWHELMING.

Totally overwhelming.

A reader: Is that Oxford?

God: If there’s reincarnation? Yes. And Ancient Rome and Ancient Egypt.

Gloria: They’re just different people.

*She shrugs.*

But for me…with my background? Man! I was OVERWHELMED.

And…eventually…I started to think I was…like a god. You know? I’m serious! I thought I was…a god.

And I am not…A GOD.

*She thinks.*

I’m not a god.

I’m sorry.

So…you start to take all of that stuff super seriously…and then you start to think you can do things you can’t really do. Like altering reality.

Pamela Cisneros: Yeah!

Tell us more.

In detail.

Gloria: SHIT!

*She cries.*

If there’s an Illuminati, I assumed I could say a prayer…to…some kind of deity unlike God…but like…Satan…and with my own co-divinity…create an alteration.

Especially if I used the sacrificial blood.

I could drink it…or maybe just use it…as a sort of device. And with that…I could change the fabric of reality.

Cisneros: How?

Gloria: So…Lacey is straight? I assumed I could tinker with the fabric of reality…and then force my will into existence.

God: And violate Lacey’s own will?

Gloria: Well yeah…

But I assumed I was Illuminated. If there’s an Illuminati. I assumed I was allowed.

Cisneros: Philosophically? That’s ludicrous. You were a fake intellectual.

There’s nothing Illuminated about that.

Gloria: Yeah, okay.

But…if there’s an Illuminati…we’re that mentally…troubled.

We take ourselves WAY too seriously. And we aren’t that deep.

I mean, I was deep. I am Gloria Steinem. But I wasn’t that deep.

Pamela Cisneros: So…I’m still trying to figure out how you thought you could alter reality.

Where…did the discarded energy go?

Gloria: *Screams.*

You sound like Lacey.

God: Yes!

This isn’t that complicated!

I’m sorry.

You were very smart. But you didn’t have this figured out. And it is embarrassing to you.

Pamela: I’m not dumb.

God: I am not saying that. At all.

Gloria: SHIT!!!

SHIT!!!

A reader: WAIT!

Did one of your ancestors use inspiration from the Illuminati to attack people?

Pamela Cisneros: Yes.

It’s a spiritual inheritance.

And it affected me more than a lot of people.

I am…taking orders.

So…Gloria…how did you think it metaphysically would work?

Gloria: Ahh…-

To be honest…I just assumed it was like…cut and paste. Like on a computer.

I saw it in my Third Eye. I saw visions of myself altering reality. And I assumed it was working.

God: You were cutting off…truth. Actual truth.

Not altering reality.

So…you assumed you were replacing pieces of reality? No. You were cutting off…pieces of reality.

*He shows her.*

Dimitry: And where did that go???

God: It is chaos.

Which is why Erin is dead.

Gloria didn’t mean to cause Pamela to stab Gloria. But…that’s what happened, as a result of her witchcraft…if there’s an Illuminati.

A man in America: So…you…did what?

Gloria: I cut off…truth.

I cut off…the truth of the situation. In regard to Lacey, in particular. And because of that…Pamela’s brain couldn’t hear the sound of truth. She couldn’t hear not to stab Erin.

A man in America: *Trying not to laugh.*

I’m sorry. This is awful. But I’m finding it funny for some reason, too.

Okay.

So you did WHAT!?

Gloria: I used Illuminati sacrifices…to Mollock and other…entities…to try to alter reality.

…Should there be an Illuminati.

So I used our knowledge…about the supernatural…to try to alter reality.

I cut off truth.

There are literal spiritual streams. All over the Earth. Like rivers. And our heads are like radios. For the supernatural. We hear the sounds of many different spiritual streams. Some conflicting. Some not. …Like radio waves? Yeah. It’s like rivers of spiritual water. Everywhere.

I made a dam. And I cut off…helpful waters.

Dimitry: You cut off…truth?

Gloria: Yeah.

I dammed it up.

Because I was misguided. I earnestly thought I wasn’t cutting off truth but replacing it.

Listen to “Suspirium” by Thom York.

Lacey: What happened to the stuff you tried to replace truth with?

Gloria: It’s nothing.

Some people hear it? Some of it is a lie.

So some people hear lies instead of facts and truth.

But a lot of people…just hear…nothing.

This song is also perfect.

The old songs?

Lacey: Yeah. All forgiven? Always and never been true?

Gloria: Purgatory.

Mary Mother of God?

Love it.

The song should be replayed.

Gloria: The old songs?

Lacey: Yeah!

The way you cling to what was actual truth. And hope.

Without even knowing it.

Just because you’re human.

And…yet…it’s been gutted.

No, I don’t mean just what we consider traditional Christianity, today. I mean old wisdom. The real light of CHRIST. …Outdated…fanciful…emotional…real love.

The old songs.

Singing them…with blind trust. Like a child.

But…those people are dead. And sadly, a lot of the wisdom is gone.

1:21

This is about the human nature of the Illuminati. To me. Should it exist. The tragic, redeemable part of the their real humanity.

A dead Saint: When I arrive? Will you come and find me?

Yes!

Have they sinned against other humans so much they’re just going to be ignored? As famous as they were. Once we’re all dead.

Alain Delon: So!

What happened to the other stuff?

Gloria: It was…nothing.

Alain Delon: Okay.

So then what?

Gloria: It…-

They hear…insanity.

Alain Delon: *Nods.*

Yeah!

Explain.

Gloria: They hear…the sounds of…schizophrenia. Essentially.

There’s energy that connected to the bowls of the Earth. It’s prevalent in the ocean. Especially deep. And in caves, actually.

We don’t dislike being underground just because it’s dark. We can sense something horrible.

It’s chaos.

It’s chaotic energy. The energy of tectonic plates…volcanic activity. Stuff like that.

It’s deadly and oppressive.

And that’s the energy you hear when you’re actually schizophrenic. And…when you cut off truth. Like I did.

You how conservatives accuse Liberals of being crazy? Yeah. They got the idea from intuiting this. They don’t know that. But there you go.

Listen to “Spitting Off the Edge of the World” by Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

Gloria: You could fix it, Lacey.

Lacey: Well…but…it’s an ecosystem. You know?

It would make sense to fix it…but it could also be dangerous. If I did it wrong.

Pamela Cisneros: She’s right!

Yes, I’m psychologically a lot like my Conquistador ancestor.

*Lacey laughs with her.*

I can instantly see what she means.

A woman in Minnesota: So…what can be done?

Pamela Cisneros: Well…-

Listen to “Lebanese Blonde (Remastered 2022)” by Thievery Corporation.

Lacey: We can’t just reattach it all.

There are children who will be negatively affected.

Pamela: *Nods.*

Lacey: We’ll have to…create a loop.

Pamela: *Nods.*

Lacey: *Lacey creates a series of infinity shaped loops. With Pamela. And Erin.

Angels help them.

God uses his angels to make enough of them to bring it all back to the truth.*

Listen to “Midnight City” by M83.

Micheal: M. 83.

Lacey. 1983.

Me…-

Nevermind. I’m losing you.

Dolly: This song embarrasses me.

That’s Lem. And Lacey.

On the cover.

And I’m Dolly Parton.

Make sense?

*Later.*

A reader: Hold on!

Do you guys actually help her? In the Illuminati.

I know Laura and Eric do. I can tell.

But like…do you guys? She shares all this stuff…like about her grief. But I don’t get the sense that you all care. At all.

The possible Illuminati: You are correct.

We barely do.

Elon Musk: It’s true!

It’s extremely disturbing.

I avoid her. For many good reasons. But…I do care, somewhat.

They’re not an easy group of people.

Some of us, are very smart. I’m one of them! But…you’re right. “We” don’t care about her enough.

*A bit later.*

A reader: So you’re still in grief. Over Lem. From 1879.

God: If Hasidic Jews are theologically superior about reincarnation… then yes.

He was said to have had such grief, as insult to him. Ultimately. A man who was revered as a “real man”. Being tricked into thinking he was homosexual. And then being made a “grieving widow”. More grief stricken, and famously so, than his own woman. The flesh of his very own flesh.

It was an attack on all of humanity. But some people are denial about that.

Elon Musk (?): And if that’s not right…why Elliott?

*He smiles.*

Lacey: He’s just…very handsome. To put it succinctly.

Elon Musk: No!

I’m not worried about God.

He knows my heart.

*He says to someone.*

Look…you’ve heard I’m a Nazi.

*He laughs.*

Whatever.

Werner…was a very brave man.

*He smiles.*

Even if I’m not a Nazi…he was…incredible.

Lacey: True!

JD Vance (?): No, she’s not a Nazi. Like…an evil person Nazi? She’s…a good person, and she’s German. *He shrugs.* And she’s incredibly smart.

Lacey: Thank you for clarifying.

No, Werner is incredible.

God: Elliott…is actually better for her.

Believe it or not!

I know why you might be surprised. But, shockingly, Elliott is.

He…fell apart. But…he was actually capable of loving a woman like her. Very deeply.

Elon Musk: Yes! But what does SHE want?

Lacey: True!

God: Yes.

…I do know best.

But you’re making a very valid point.
