Did you ever wonder why, when the price of everything is skyrocketing, porn is still free?
At a time when corporations are squeezing every possible penny from consumers, when streaming services battle over outrageous subscription fees, and the prices of basic necessities continue to climb, the most sophisticated porn sites offer their filth without charge. As this is written, the price of a dozen eggs has risen 36% in the U.S., but porn is still free. If you think this is just the magic of the free market, think again.
Consider this: In 2002, when Israeli forces seized Palestinian TV stations in Ramallah, they didn't broadcast propaganda. They didn't broadcast military threats. They broadcast porn. Let that sink in. When choosing a psychological weapon to demoralize and destabilize a population, they chose pornography.
The Israeli military denied it, of course. But multiple witnesses, including mothers trying to protect their children, confirmed that soldiers who occupied the offices of Al-Watan, Ammwaj, and Al-Sharaq channels began broadcasting pornographic content almost immediately. "I think the Israelis want to mess with our young men's heads," one Palestinian mother of six told reporters. She wasn't wrong – but she had only glimpsed the tip of a much darker iceberg.
This wasn't an isolated incident. It wasn't a few rogue soldiers getting their kicks. It was a deliberate tactic in a much larger war – a war being waged not just in occupied territories, but in your home, on your phone, in your children's bedrooms. Porn isn't free because technology made it free. Porn is free because it's a weapon. And someone is aiming it at you.
The military deployment of pornography in Ramallah exposed something its everyday purveyors work hard to conceal: sexual liberation is sexual control. Whether it's Israeli forces broadcasting porn to Palestinian youth or corporate interests flooding Western societies with free online content, the goal is the same – to "mess with young men's heads." To create addicts. To destroy potential. To prevent resistance.
G.I. Gurdjieff understood this decades before high-speed internet porn. He taught that sexual energy serves two legitimate and vital purposes: reproduction and the development of higher being bodies. This energy can serve neither purpose when it is constantly drained through artificial stimulation and titillation. The instinct for self-perfection dies. The drive for spiritual growth withers. This isn't an accident – it's the point.
Think about it. A man addicted to pornography doesn't resist. He doesn't rebel. He doesn't strive for anything higher. He clicks and scrolls, trapped in an endless cycle of stimulation and shame, while his potential for real development slowly dies. This is why the same forces that enslave you with debt want to ensure your unlimited access to porn. This is why it's free.
Want proof? Let's follow the money. In 1978, when the Federal Reserve pushed interest rates to 20 percent, something unprecedented happened. State usury laws were crushed, manufacturing collapsed, and wages stagnated. Alongside this economic stranglehold came the explosive growth of pornography. This wasn't coincidence—it was convergence.
The same financial powers getting rich off vulture capitalism began funding libertarian think tanks that suddenly became passionate defenders of pornography as "free speech." These self-proclaimed champions of liberty rushed to defend pornographers facing obscenity charges. When producers of the most degrading content faced legal consequences, their well-funded defenders labeled it "America's liberty."
The effort to mainstream porn was assisted by the Boomer Sexual Revolution, inspired by figures like Herbert Marcuse, Wilhelm Reich, and Michel Foucault. These cultural revolutionaries championed unrestrained sexual liscense, forcefully and fully rejecting what Mr. Gurdjieff called “genuine Being duty” as evil and oppressive. Under the banner of an imaginary freedom, they helped lay the groundwork for America’s pornocracy.
Freedom? Tell that to today's young men, drowning in student debt and porn addiction. Tell that to the children of the sexual revolution, who traded real freedom for pixels on a screen. Or to women, unable to support themselves and robbed of the security of a normal family, forced to perform on Only Fans to pay the bills. Or the women and children trafficked and abused to provide content for porn sites. The financial elite, the predators who Gurdjieff called “power-possessing beings”, trap you in debt and want to ensure you stay distracted, docile, and drained.
Look at the patterns throughout history. After major conflicts, occupying powers have consistently used pornography to pacify populations. This isn't about freedom of expression – it's about control. As St. Augustine understood centuries ago: "A man has as many masters as he has vices." The powers that control society understand this ancient wisdom. That's why they work so hard to cultivate your vices.
Gurdjieff saw this coming. He understood that human sexuality isn't just about physical reproduction—it's inextricably tied to the potential for spiritual development. Properly understood and channeled, it’s an essential part of the process that enables human beings to transcend their base mechanical nature and develop their higher potential.
But this energy can't serve two masters. Either it fuels your evolution toward higher consciousness, or it's drained away in endless cycles of artificial stimulation. Either it helps you build your higher being bodies – what Gurdjieff called the "coating" of higher bodies – or it keeps you trapped in what he called "sleep."
Those who control society prefer you asleep. They prefer you clicking through endless porn tabs rather than developing your consciousness. They prefer you chasing digital fantasies rather than building real relationships or pursuing genuine spiritual growth. They prefer you weak, distracted, and manipulatable.
Here's the brutal truth: Every time you click on porn, you're not just wasting time – you're actively destroying your potential for spiritual evolution. This isn't about morality. This isn't about religion. This is about the raw, mechanical fact that you cannot develop higher consciousness while draining away your vital force through artificial stimulation.
You want to know why the ancient spiritual traditions all emphasized sexual discipline? Because they understood what modern society desperately wants you to forget: Your sexual energy is an essential component of your spiritual development. It's a key factor in the process that can transform you from a mechanical, sleeping human animal into a conscious individual. But you can't evolve if you're compulsively spilling that fuel into the digital void.
As Gurdjieff warned in Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson, the constant pursuit of titillation destroys "the instinctive need for perfection," replacing it with artificial desires and cravings that "have nothing in common with the genuine impulses of human nature." He understood that this corruption of natural sexual function would become one of the chief causes of humanity's failure to develop properly.
Either your sexual energy serves your higher development, or it serves your mechanical habits and addictions. There is no middle ground. There is no compromise. Every moment you spend lost in pornography is a moment you've sacrificed your potential for awakening.
So here's your real choice: You can keep feeding the machine that wants to keep you weak, asleep, and spiritually impotent. Or you can wake up to the war being waged against your consciousness. Your potential for evolution is your birthright. And every force that tries to divert that energy away from your development is an enemy of your awakening. Choose accordingly.
