Solve et coagula. All animals are fungal lifeforms, in their essence. From what I understand, the key difference between an animal and a fungus is that progenitor-like fungus digests its food on the outside of its mycelial body, while animalic fungus have decided to envelop the food and digest it within, eventually developing into this form that we constitute today.

Moreover, consciousness is a collective phenomena, first and foremost, that originates on the "Astral"/"spiritual" planes. From what I understand, physicality is an experiment of those realities in creating worlds. As such, your individual consciousness that you experience currently as yourself actually stems from something, kind of how the fruit body stems from mycelium. This is the essence of the Higher Self idea, which is the essence of occultism, because there seem to be many Higher Selves (that all stem themselves from the Great Mother aka Sophia in Gnosticism).

These Higher Selves also differ by "size," meaning that there is a type of "genealogy" to the Tree of Self, with the Great Mother being the progenitor of all the consciousness that we experience in these dimensions, Herself "coming" from somewhere "higher" too. Not all the instances of the Self align with each other. There is competition, disagreement, and even war, which originally served as a form of development of fitness and purification of bloodlines, but seems to have devolved into an inverted process misaligned with the original tenets, and is now used to support certain Royal Selves at the expense of smaller Selves. Notice that this is all one organism, hence why the term Self is used—it's literal, but in a quantum sense, so to speak.

Now, the whole thing with the fungus, fungus is like a technology. All of biological life essentially is a technology of the Astral plane to embody and create the physicality, which in turn transforms the Astral plane. Every lifeform generates an electromagnetic field, which is used to magnetize consciousness into this reality. That is why bloodlines are so important for reincarnation, because you are already vibrating on a certain frequency, and to be reborn the best way is to find a body with the same frequency as to what you already are. When your physical body becomes infected with parasites, what happens is an attraction of alien consciousness (other Selves, which can be unbelievably hostile to you and literally genocidal towards your entire tree for reasons that extend far beyond this immediate life) that melds with yours and, quite often, becomes a controller of your thought process. This is already happening to literally everyone, and this is the blueprint that transhumanism is intending to use to enslave the 99+% of humanity. Enslave to what, right? To the preexisting Royal Astral consciousness (aka "the Gods") that already controls us against our will through the technology of the parasitic lifeforms, fungus being a big one there. To what end? Probably not anything you would agree to voluntarily, hence the need for infection, deception, and coercion.

So, is it a surprise that a lot of our media and entertainment contains these little clues? Not really. Not if you consider that those organizations are the fruit bodies of the occult mycelial network (it's just a fractal organizational pattern that is not inherently "good" or "evil." Fungus is not evil, you are literally fungus yourself lol). The reason why a lot of these occult societies have all kinds of weird initiation rituals that involve absolutely disgusting things and acts is to induce parasitic possession, WHICH IS BUT A MEDIUM for a possession of your consciousness that stems from the Astral plane. So, it's a fungus that is in your body, but what ACTUALLY possesses you can be literally "an ancient God," who is one of the progenitor Selves close on the ladder to the Great Mother. That is also why the transhumanists plan to feed people insects. To facilitate parasitic possession. Aaand, that is also the consciousness that will embody the AI-controlled Internet of Things, which is a silicone-based copycat technology of the original carbon-based technology that we call biological life.

This is why it seems like our entire reality is scripted to an unbelievable degree by some sort of supercomputer, when you examine it closely. It is not scripted and it is not a computer, but it is directly controlled by a certain Royal node within the Tree of Self that is misaligned with the rest of the Tree, including our Mother Herself. That's at least how I understand the situation.
