Key Takeaways
- Your daily routine may be a “death sentence” disguised as responsibility
- What you call depression might be a spiritual crisis—a wake-up call
- You are not your body or your thoughts. You are the “I” that owns them
- Breaking free from societal programming starts with small rebellions (coffee, hair, nails)
- The Undoctrination Movement is about reclaiming sovereignty and coming alive
What if you started your morning with the truth? Not the illusion you’ve been indoctrinated to believe your whole life—but the raw, unfiltered truth hidden in plain sight.
Listen to the language of your life:
You “wake” up. (We go to a wake after someone dies.) In the “morning.” (We mourn the loss of life.) To go to work and sell your labor. (The etymology of labor is toil and suffer.) To “earn” a living. (You are forced to create value to have the “privilege” of being alive.)
The words themselves are confessing. Your daily routine is a death sentence dressed up as responsibility. You’ve been living in a linguistic cage, and the bars are made of the very language you use to describe your existence.
The Spiritual Crisis They Call Depression (But It’s Really a Wake-Up Call)
Have you noticed this feeling of disconnection? Feeling lost, lonely, hopeless—like you’re watching your life through a fog?
This is not depression. This is not some mental health issue that needs to be medicated into submission. This is a spiritual issue.
You are starting to notice the death sentence you’ve been given. You have spent your whole life being a source of energy for an insidious system—a system with a greedy desire for power and control. They control you by taking the most basic things that make us human and turning us into cash cows. Keep us addicted. Keep us too sick to care about freedom, love, hope, and purpose.
But you’re waking up now. And that discomfort you feel? That’s not a bug. That’s the feature. That’s your soul screaming that something is wrong.
Welcome to the Undoctrination Zone. This is where we peel off the layers of illusion and come back to life—outside the dream they call living.
Who Are You, Really? The Truth About Identity and Programming
Let’s consider that everything you’ve ever been told is a lie.
You’ve been told your whole life that you’re a human being on Earth. But what if you’re a spirit in contract with a body?
Think about it: You don’t say “I body.” You say “my body.” You don’t say “I thoughts.” You say “my thoughts.”
If you have a body, then you are not the body. If you have thoughts, then you are not the thoughts.
So who’s the “I” that owns them?
You are not the flesh vehicle you inhabit. You are not the conditioned programming running on repeat in your mind. Those thoughts? They didn’t originate with you. They came from your family, your school, the media, the culture—the virus called society that’s been uploaded into your consciousness since birth.
So if you’re not the body and you’re not the thoughts… Who and what are you?
Hold that question. Let me show you what the program looks like when it’s running.
Meet Jane: A Story of Addiction, Conformity, and Awakening
Jane wakes up every morning—groggy, disoriented, half-dead.
She needs her cup of coffee. (Addiction.) She stares at her phone, scrolling through emails, lost in the feed. (Addiction.) Time slips away. Everything is moving so fast. (Because she’s operating unconsciously, and time is not linear).
Jane has to drug herself just to make what she’s forced to do every day… doable.
And when Jane comes home at night, she pours herself a glass of wine to wind down. To shut off the thoughts. To relax.
Wait a minute—Jane has to medicate herself to relax?
Let’s keep going.
Jane has a salon appointment to color her hair. Not because she wants to—but because she was told she’d look better as a blonde. Or because her “gray” hairs are growing out. Except they’re not gray—they’re silver. Shining, wise, beautiful silver.
Jane loves her silver jewelry. But she hates her silver hair.
So Jane goes to the salon and fries her hair until it’s dull and dead. Then she coats it in shiny chemicals to make it look alive.
Then Jane goes to the nail salon. She loves feeling elegant, so she gets pretty nails. The nail tech sands down her real nails—destroying a part of her body—to replace them with synthetic chemicals that have a cancer warning on the package.
Why?
Because Jane’s thoughts have told her she isn’t pretty enough. Marketing campaigns whisper in her ear every day: You are never enough.
But here’s the question: Are those thoughts real? Are they Jane? Or are they programming?
I Am Jane—And I’m Taking My Power Back
These examples aren’t here to make you feel ashamed.
I am Jane.
I don’t feel ashamed for my vanity. I feel amused—because I’m remembering who I am underneath the program. I love the glam and glitz of being a woman. I love playing dressup, but you know what I love more? I love being free. I love being me. Damn… that feels good to write that; “I love being me.”
Today, I write this without one speck of makeup. I went to my nail salon and asked to remove years of chemical submission. I called my hair salon and revised my visit. I told my hairdresser, I’m embracing my silver threads. I’m tired of chasing an illusion of perfection that was nothing more than an advertisement.
Each call felt like a small rebellion. Each choice felt like coming home.
I’m having my reckoning. I see the code, and the more I see it, the less I want to be hijacked by this virus called culture.
So let’s ask ourselves: What would life look like if we refused to participate in the programming?
The Cost of Compliance: What Happens When You Stop Paying It
Chemical Dependency
What would happen to my hormones if I didn’t suppress my biology with coffee and wine? Would I finally lose weight just by giving up my nightly bottle of Pinot Grigio? I don’t know—but I want to find out.
I want to know what it feels like to wake up every day without needing to pacify myself with caffeine. What would happen if I replaced coffee with dandelion tea? What would happen if I replaced wine-down time with writing?
Aesthetic Conformity
What would happen if I stopped frying my silver hair into submission? If I let my nails breathe? If I stopped spending my energy trying to look like the women in the ads—women who don’t even look like themselves?
Financial Extraction
Here’s what actually happened when I stopped:
I had hundreds of dollars left over in my checking account. Money I didn’t even know I was hemorrhaging every month on cosmetic chemicals and procedures.
You know what I did with that money?
I paid for a better book cover artist.
I invested in my art instead of my armor.
That’s what happens when you stop funding your own oppression. You get your power back. You get your money back. You get your life back.
The Invitation: Join the Undoctrination Movement
This is me remembering who I am.
My father named me Alethea—truth in Greek—but I am not a name. I am not a role. I am not a label, a diagnosis, or a demographic.
I am a daughter, a mother, a sister. I am a writer, a soul-seeker, a woman who refuses to stay asleep.
I am human, and I am taking back my power.
I am Alethea, and I am building the Undoctrination Movement—a space where we peel back the lies, reclaim our sovereignty, and remember what it feels like to be alive.
Not “earning” a living. Not “working” ourselves to death. Not mourning our mornings.
Alive.
If you’re reading this, you’re already here. You felt the pull. You heard the call.
Welcome home, truth-seeker.
Let’s burn it all down and build something real.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Undoctrination Movement?
The Undoctrination Movement is a space for truth-seekers to peel back societal lies, reclaim sovereignty, and remember what it feels like to be alive. It’s about breaking free from the programming that keeps us addicted, sick, and compliant.
Is depression really a spiritual crisis?
Often, what we call depression is a spiritual wake-up call—your soul screaming that something is wrong with the system you’ve been living in. It’s not always a chemical imbalance; sometimes it’s a consciousness expansion trying to break through.
How do I start reclaiming my power?
Start with small rebellions: question your addictions (coffee, wine), your aesthetic conformity (hair, nails), and your financial extraction (where your money goes). Each choice to opt out of the program is a step toward sovereignty.
