Theories

Theory Source

so church of genxsis : 1956 then Mantra until 2020 -> merges together?

the Church was created in 1956 with the intention of indoctrinating people into a cult. They started developing pills to help people ascend/control them and that turned into more testing, which is where Nex Gen came into it. Eventually they discovered MANTRA and recruited them who started Genxsis

Kids with white hair (Radiogenic Leukotrichia) were already a thing post ww3 nuclear fallout, he was most likely the first one (or one of the first) to be born with the pink mutation, causing him to be seen as the devil himself He was abandoned by his parents at age 8 and ended up in the care of a group of mentally unstable/evil people (turnips are used in the file) editor’s note : to refer to someone as "turnip-pated" means they have white or fair hair an alternative meaning, so in this instance, it probably references the weirdos with white hair Skys was in a band, Sky and the starjammers and had a lot of groupies this is how he started his cult Alongside Dallus and Strassman, he pushed the limits of spirituality and formed mantra, giving bith to the neosages

what I was trying to say earlier is that Cult of Mantra HQ is October Palace, or so it seems

If we assume Skys in the paper is 1 years old, then the newspaper must be wrong in 2037 which uses his image.

In 2020 (when MANTRA is disbanded - he'd be roughly 25/26/27) Minus 25/26/27 from 2020 = date of birth roughly 1993/1994/1995

Date of birth: 1993 - 1995

This would mean that the SCISTUDY of 1999 could be an accurate timescale and means that the nuclear fallout, which happened 30 years previous, happened in 1969 where we have proof of Soviet Testing/Nuclear Testing

Skys birth : 1993 or 1995. If 1993 => Skys abandonned in 2001 (matches 93) If 1995 => Skys abandonned in 2004 (matches BMTH debut)

so I wonder if the troops that Mantra took down are nex gen troops

“Enter Dr. Karl Strassman and Dr. Dallas Lauren. Two brain boxes intrigued by the claims Skys was making. These three ended up pushing neo-spiritualism to it’s absolute limits and before you knew it, the “Neosages” were born. And if that name is not ringing any bells, you might know them better as “The Cult of Mantra”

well mantra can't be that much before genxsis because the kids are a result of world war 3

and I mean, they're definitely in october palace cuz that's the building drawn in Mantra

I'd expect MANTRA to have been on M15/CIA radar

sidenote: 1969 was the year of the Charles Manson murders, which is just an easter egg i think, to the timeline from yday re skys birth and 30 years previous being a nuclear fallout with one of those murders taking place on July 17th 1969...

The Mantra logo looks like the Spirit sigil missing 1 line

Amen is very hippy like, I would assume this is earlier too but I associate amen with mantra so it would make sense if this was back in 2021 around the time that mantra are corned by soldiers

Skys's research was predicated on the hypothesis that extreme physical and/or psychological torment could facilitate spiritual transcendence.

These 2 lines may point in the direction of both mantra and Lost

Despite the eventual defeat of Mantra, the cult's ability to incapacitate hundreds of troops using advanced psychological tactics remains fascinating. Central to these tactics were the induced psychological hallucinations colloquially referred to as "Mares.”

mantra developed a bio weapon previously to all this (ie : water or air weapon)

We know that Mantra was involved with hundreds of troops, and beat them using psychological tactics, Mantra were responsible for inducing psychological hallucinations ‘mares’.

what if VSPR-37 is just a collective hallucionation/panic? VSPR-37 may be the scenes we see in follow you MV with the zombies : might me mares, might be mantra bio weapon making eveyone think something's wrong when it's not. TV also broadcast images of apocalypse, and PSY (one of the letters) refferes to TV light or something

What I am saying basically is that Mantra probably discovered it by accident during their dmt experiments but it clearly has something to do with sleep which is regulated by melatonin

The Mantra pills are maybe the first version of pusse

and now this is far fetched, mantra cult had the dmt thing and next gen stole it

we thought that Oli in Die4u is likely Skys, so the Mantra Oli, especially since it's also in Novosovia

Novosovia (as written in the ARG) is based on Kiev irl (source : Mantra, Trinity file, DUST file) it's an eastern country anyway, who may or may not be under the control of the "eastern citadel" (source : DUST file) (note : Novosovia is in Yakutia based on Lee)

in SHIT we see some addition to Mantra that really looks like some indian belief but written in Russian

Mantra Skys => pink hair => healing powers => Mantra = indu thing

I'm thinking the fact he has pink hair while in novosofia where kids are discriminated for this, is to 1) be like yes I am diffrent and have super powers 2) mantra is some kind of new age cult maybe based on hindouisim beliefs where kids with pink hair are reverred as supperior

also there's a full board of directors before the Mantra cult begins, & he's recruited as the leader AFTER they have a meeting showing the October Palace drawing

The mantra imagery on TV might be an hallucination caused by drugs

Sugar Honey ice & tea MV has a lot of TV references/elements - I think it takes place while the Mantra cult is still active, before Sky's death and TV helped to do some propaganda for people to join Mantra

In mothertongue, a TV has static on indicating that MAYBE the person has psychic powers able to crash it and therefore resist Genxsis church and/or Mantra propaganda

It's theorized his parents may have super powers (at least Skys who was able to manipulate the masses in the Mantra cult. We also know that Mare are hereditary, Scott may have one from his father

D.U.S.T. is supposed to make ppl docile little puppets (like in Mantra, or Ascendence with DD) & P.S.Y. is supposed to be a bio weapon to resist Mare & wield it (if I understood correctly)

Mantra was apparently VERY advanced in term of psychological/bio weapons

Jordan definitely was part of the Mantra cult, I rewatched it & he's the only member I see in the cult

Rebecca knows things about MANTRA (described as a debacle) and Operation Trinity but outright says she cannot discuss it.

Mantra's lightning could be one of the cultists' powers before he dies, or Skys
