If I asked you to design a global Earthling farm that Maximizes suffering, without making it obvious to the Earthlings that you are controlling and farming them, could you design a more effective system than what currently exists?
This is why everything is currently so terrible on your world. you are living in a global farm that harvests human suffering.
These dark controllers parasite on Earthlings because they have disconnected themselves from Source. Because they have disconnected themselves, they do not directly receive the only energy in the entire universe: LoveLight. Instead they parasite this energy indirectly, from other beings - in this case, from suffering Earthlings.
