I've been reading this thread for the past few months. You guys are so perseptive, it's really fascinating and fun to think about your theories. I've learned a lot. I espicially really like reading theories on symbolism in MV's and possible meanings hidden in lyrics. I wanted to add a few of my own theories/thoughts and I would appretiate if you give me feedback or any other thoughts you have as I'm not that knowledgable on this stuff.
Something I heard about Freemasonry.
The law of karma is that what you do comes back to you. The way Freemasons interpret these things is that if they tell us, even in subtle ways, and we dont react, then the bad karma is on OUR shoulders. In addition, if they show us what they're doing, and we don't react, and they manage to pull it off - that gains good karma on their shoulders.
Also on this topic, there is thing called "showing of the hand", and it's often done by abusers. An abusive person might "joke" about what a horrible person they are, and when you complain that they treat you badly they have nothing to feel sorry for, because in their mind they've already warned you, you're just either too stupid or masochistic.
I think Piep Piper was a showing of the hand.
BTS say the song is a good song, a reward to armys and a reminder for them to not obsess over them. And the song does start seemingly in a good way, but what is the rest and also the most repeated lyrics of the song?
"Follow the sound of the pipe, follow this song. It's a bit dangerous. I'm here to save you, here to ruin you. Im TESTING YOU. You can throw a fit but it's no use. Dont reject me. Just close your eyes and tune your ears. IM TAKING OVER YOU."
WHAT? Why isnt the song more like:
"please take care of yourself. you've done so much for us, but please now focus on your own life. I'm ending up taking over you"?
BTS have blatantly said that they will ruin you, and throwing a fit is useless. It sounds like it's a real TEST. They're testing how brainwashed their fans are.
They openly say they will ruin you, will you see it? No? Will you pretent that it's not literal? Will you still stay? Yes? Success.
To those who are afraid that talking about theories and stuff is dangerous, I dont think it is as long as that's all you're doing. Look how many people discuss symbology, conspiracy theories surrounding the news, the government, war, the higher-ups, etc. Those people would all be dead by now, especially those who use their real names online.
And also, if they have demons on their sides, and if they're so powerful, wouldnt they use that power to get rid of people who suspect something? I think as long as you dont actively try to take power from someone - they have no reason to touch you. They would much rather make you depressed, degrade you, laugh at you, send their army of trolls so that you kill yourself off with your own hands.
If you're not trying to find "evidence", or do anything drastic, I think you're safe. Because you're not seen as a serious threat. Also, making you think that these people have the power to kill you is a clever way to keep you quiet so you think you're alone and become depressed thinking "How is the world so dark? Does no one else see this? What is wrong with people? This must be the end." And so on.
If you've ever encountered a wild animal, the one thing you never want to do, is run. If you run, they automatically see you as prey/food. What you do is you stand your ground, look at the beast in the eyes, show that you're not afraid, talk to them (to make noise) and slowly go backwards, dont turn your back at them. It's very easy to do this wrong, because if you scare the animal - it can also attack, just out of fear. Like a snake that was stepped on. You show that you're not scared, but you also show that you're not a threat, that you're not here to hurt them or take their territory, then the beast doesnt know what to do with you, why arent you scared of them? Should they be scared of YOU?
Why I dont think demons, or satan has any power.
Look at the stories of Jesus being tempted by Satan. All Satan does is try to persuade Jesus to do something. He says "wouldn't God do this for you if he really loved you? wouldnt he protect you even if you jumped off a roof?" He quotes scripture presisely to mess with Jesus' mind.
Another theory I have, yes, maybe Satan does actually have power, but if so, why doesnt he use it? Maybe because forcing someone to do something doesnt change the persons soul. People dont like being forced to do something they dont like, accepting ideas that they dont see as theirs. Satan cant control someone like that, the person has to want it, beg for it.
Someone mentioned that Yoongi had money problems that the Company promised to help him with. The temptation. They could have used Yoongi's fear and desperation and made him sign a contract (giving away his soul) to BH. Yoongi cant be angry at them, because the company didnt force him, they helped him with money problems. Didnt you want their help? Why are you unhappy now? No one forced you to sign. I also think selling the soul isn't literal. Though I have no clue what celebrities mean, obviously, I havent been there, so this is purely theory, but think about it for a second. What is a soul? It is you. What are celebrities made to do? To change who they are. You want more money and fame? Warp who you are, you are not allowed to say what you truly feel or think. "Here's the script, go and do what we tell you to." There is no YOU if you dont own your words and actions. You dont own yourself anymore.
I apologize for writing so much for a first post, I feel quite enthusiastic atm and can't wait to hear your thoughts.
Also sorry for any possible mistakes, English isnt my mother tongue.
