Spirit Requires Distance from the System
A big part of system distancing entails building resistance to the System's endless mass communications: marketing, advertising, persuasion, storytelling, and propaganda.
The fact that the System's mass communications and mass media are virtually hardwired into modern people's consciousnesses doesn't make matters easy.
This is particularly relevant within the development of human consciousness, which is meant to follow a spiritual trajectory, one that should—after a long period of alienation from the spiritual—draw us back toward God and Creation.
What strikes me about the System's mass communications and media in general is how savvy we moderns proclaim ourselves to be concerning these things.
Nearly everyone that I know seems to understand the tactics and ploys the System uses in its communications. People everywhere appear to be aware of communication tricks, persuasion techniques, and media manipulation.
Yet when it comes to resisting the media tricks, techniques, and manipulation, the very same knowledgeable and aware people are rendered completely powerless and largely behave like conditioned, salivating Pavlovian dogs.
I think the explanation for this sort of conditioning lies in people's fear and rejection of freedom, but it also lies in optimism and hope that the System can be utilized for some kind of societal and social reform.
However, any attempt to utilize any part of the System to reform, rejuvenate, or re-align the System as a whole is not only futile but counterproductive.
Rather than bring reform and rejuvenation, attempts to use the System for good are quickly absorbed, inverted, and used for evil by the System itself.
Thus, System distancing involves the understanding that any faith or belief in the System as a principal force for good is not only false, but enslaving.
