◊ᛉ Today marks the release date of the new single from the band Deadly Apples: SACRIFICE ᛉ. This song is the second single released for the upcoming album Distress, and features Richard Patrick (Filter) and Danny Lohner (NIN) as collaborators. This song has been very emotionally supportive for me in ways that are deeply related to UNITY LIFE Mystery School. And so I’d like to celebrate the new release (and upcoming music video) with a review of the lyric meanings in this way. The lyrics are very easy to make out in the song. Enjoy the track here.


The Burden of Sacrifice in Personal Relationships

◊💎🕊️ My own way of finding the meaning in this song was not about tumultuous or abusive personal relationships in my immediate life. However, most people will probably find that type of meaning in it. In that way, I find it valuable to consider that poor behaviour within relationships is not always because of character flaws, which is something that needs to be looked at more in our complex modern society.


◊⚖️ Often it happens because people are forced into very difficult negotiations with extremely taxing demands in their lives, which sometimes make them de-prioritize the people they love. In these cases, it is a “sacrifice,” as per the song name, and for the person carrying this burden, they feel they have been sacrificed by the one they love.

◊🚨 [Disclaimer: This is not relationship advice. If you are in an abusive relationship, or an emergency, consider calling the numbers provided at this link.]

◊💞 While it’s true and important that separating oneself from toxic — and especially abusive — people is healthy, it can also sometimes be healthy to remain loyal. I understand that the term “abuse” has many definitions, and some types of “low-key abuse,” as I call it, are not criminal, such as certain types of harassment. Myself and so many others have tolerated it and been so glad that we made provision for the relationship to heal and resolve with forgiveness and loyalty.


◊🤝 If you’d assume the song meant it about personal situations like this, Deadly Apples emphasize that side of relationships — those times when loyalty would be the right decision, even in the face of major burden. The process of making these difficult choices is incredibly sensitive, but when you know — deep in your heart — then it’s truly one of those cases where this song would relate to you and you should hold on.

The Burden of Sacrifice in Defending Stars Against False Allegations of Abuse



◊⭐️ For myself, the emotional support that this song provided was through relating it to my relationships with the stars, and I strongly recommend considering my example and taking this to heart as an inspiration for how you might relate to the lyrics. For myself, in my own life, the two examples I’m thinking of are Marilyn Manson and Jared Leto — the only stars that I’ve invested myself into defending from false allegations of abuse against them.

◊💐 To invest myself in the public defence of these artists was a great burden, something which forced my art to take a certain direction which I would not have preferred, just as SACRIFICE ᛉ describes. In fact, just like these lyrics, I have compared these stars with Christ and expressed abundantly just how spiritually rich my experience has been, to the point of even joking around calling it a religion to be this inspired by these arts. And I’m not alone, by any means, when it comes to MM.


My Motivations for Defending Stars of False Allegations


◊🖤 It often drained my spirit to confront false allegations while searching my soul and researching in depth, dedicating much emotional energy towards the mission. In my case, this was necessitated by antagonizers already pitted against me in my life, who would use my major public association with these stars as ammunition against me. By explaining myself — why I have this central investment in the arts in my life — I avoided more personal turmoil from the manipulative slander of my enemies.

    ◊🪞 In my case, it’s because I’m a healer, and that’s very central to my image in so many ways. The history of my enemies is to be intimidated by the level of respect that this would gain me, which is incredibly well revered in their circles because I am an Ayahuasqera Perfumera — a master healer of full traditional scale. In their sense of how this confronts them for their antagonisms, they seek to weave a story about me that my interest in certain artists shows that I am a disastrously opposite quality of a healer — mentally ill, you’d think — if I’d identify with these humans.

    ◊💎 I could have simply betrayed these artists that I cared so much about and, lying, retracted my support of them in public when I saw these allegations coming out, in order to avoid my enemies’ wrath and the burden of defending these stars in order to defend myself. That would have been easier, but that was not the truth, and I know that my actions matter, and I matter — therefore I would not settle for less than integrity in my public image.

    Deadly Apples and Marilyn Manson ◊ Shared Alliances with UNITY LIFE


    Marilyn Manson with the two main artists of Deadly Apples, Antoine LaMothe and Alex Martel, which I have printed to have autographed by the two of them.


    ◊🔑 For background, you can see my latest defence archive for Jared Leto here: FALSE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST JARED LETO Pt 2 ◊ DEBUNKING THE AIR MAIL. That said, it is of much greater significance in my life and art that I have defended Marilyn Manson for years longer than Jared, and my video in his defence, The MMII ◊ Marilyn Manson Is Innocent aka FACET 30(102) ◊ GROUNDING, will be discussed here in order to explain my interpretation of SACRIFICE ᛉ.

    ◊🪞🪞 The MMII is a cognitive exegesis — an interpretive defence of Marilyn Manson’s innocence. A bold, genre-defying work that fuses spiritual advocacy, lyrical analysis, personal testimony, and artistic symbolism into a unique documentary-art statement. It stands not only as a defence of Marilyn Manson against public allegations but also as a metaphysical reframing of his artistic and cultural role — casting him as a misunderstood figure of important ethical challenge, punk intelligence, and practical healing power.


    ◊🧬❤️‍🔥 It seems perfect to use Marilyn Manson as my main example of why SACRIFICE means so much to me, since Deadly Apples are friends of his who have performed by his side at many concerts. They have always remained loyally by his side through thick and thin, and for their loyalty to him I am most grateful. 

    Baiting in the Media ◊ The Art of Harm-Reduction in Fame



    ◊💫 In the part of the MMII found at 5:02, entitled “EXPOSING THE SCANDALS,” I explain a harm-reduction strategy theory which brings light to the wiring under the board of certain waves of false allegations in the media.


    ◊👁️ Stars, due to being in the spotlight and subject to the mass public, always deal with intense scrutiny and dangerous hostility. Since the entertainment media began, artists have developed strategies to harm-reduce and even benefit from this type of negative public attention. Through a very calculated method, which I call “baiting” — which might be related to self-deprecating humour, provocative lyrics, staged intrigue, for example (and much, much more) — they control exactly what types of scandals or controversies will arise surrounding them, ensuring that these will be the types of problems they already have prepared solutions for in advance.


    ◊💎 In this way, the stars are orchestratively conducting the narrative about themselves. Untrusted people are kept close, and fed information in ways likely to help circulate these very specific baiting devices (such as specially designed and engineered negative gossip) into the news. Combined with their public persona and artistic style, this successfully assures the safety of their career in the long term. By having clear methods of resolution prepared for each of these dramas, their image is often supported, since resolving a misperception can sometimes defend their name more than if this had never come up. In this way, I would advise that those who have remained successful are the ones who are most exceptional with these techniques.

    The Sacrifice of Scandal ◊ How SACRIFICE ᛉ Feels As If Real Life


    ◊🩸 Marilyn Manson has been an exceptional artist to go through this difficult type of journey with — defending his name — as his art focuses on illuminating the sicknesses of society in great detail, providing much comic relief and intellectual interest to produce a personally developmental experience in learning these bitter facts of life. Through his music I have gained the tools to understand the real root cause behind these false allegations against him as being not his fault in any way, shape, or form.


    ◊🌒 That said, his baiting, and that of any of my favourite stars, has often made it feel as if I were in the midst of an eerie ritual of sacrifice performed with rich theatrical illustration of the darkness so inherent to the situation. Within that thrillingly creepy landscape of art, which allows psychic space for the context of harmful influences in the masses, I sometimes feel energetically confronted by an imposition which seems portrayed as coming somehow from the direction of the star themselves.


    ◊🛡️ To defend Marilyn Manson is done by many fans, yet these are usually still called fans. But to dedicate oneself on a major scale — educationally and with great dedication to the defence of his character — is to be called “a Manson Defender.” I proudly claim myself to be an eternally loyal Manson defender — one who would always “hold on,” as the lyrics to SACRIFICE ᛉ describe in the chorus.

    ◊📖 Yet I understand that some defenders have struggled with worse troubles in the face of these challenging dynamics than I have because they have lacked the following information about how baiting works:


    Baiting DeMystified ◊ Where to Lay Blame


    ◊⚖️ It is very important to properly define what baiting is. To bait is in no way to cause the criminal or legally respondeable behaviour of harm which is done in response. This cannot be called a cause-and-effect.


    ◊🔑 Here’s how baiting is done: 1) analyse the types of common attacks on your character that are most common in general in the world, and from the array of likelihoods, decide on the least harmful and those you have solutions available to tackle; 2) analyse the psychology of the likely perpetrators to see how they would wrongfully misconstrue certain innocent activities by their own violator mentality (keeping it oriented to your chosen themes); 3) make suggestions, indirectly or directly, which will fall into their patterns of violation-oriented projection, and allow them to spin a false narrative by their own flawed patterns around it.


    An Example ◊ My Own Personal Baiting Strategies


    ◊💎🧬 For example, here is a baiting strategy I have often used with my antagonists. When I can sense that an antagonist is preparing an attack on me, I have often acted as though I don’t suspect a thing, and behaved as though my trust is only growing. At that point I’d “confide” in them, suggesting that this is a cry for support, yet in secret these confided struggles are completely fabricated. I know already that they, in their lack of love, would be triggered by any social pull for support, considering it only a burden. I channel the stress that their hatred causes me into my acting skills.


    ◊🖤 Inevitably, they begin spreading degrading, rude gossip about what I have privately confided to them, making a blameless personal struggle out to be reason to demonize me. They manipulatively twist what I have said into false “evidence” that I should not be respected in the community. Thankfully none of what I told them was true, so I can easily prove my innocence of these weaponized and exaggerated versions of my “confided” stories. I do this in calculated stages. For a while, I remain silent, and once the violation is extensive enough, I’ll burst forward with public evidence to refute their false claims.


    SACRIFICE ᛉ ◊ A Healing Tool For Transcending The Veil of Misperception


    ◊🌈 SACRIFICE ᛉ, like so many of the greatest songs, really has the potential to be used for actual personal healing in one’s life. The subtle and delicate (beautiful) process of finding when this emotional chorus would apply with the most depth to your life situations is related to greater skills in discernment. The discernment to know where blame ultimately needs to be placed in life has sometimes for me been the most valuable healing tool with life-changing effects. This sophisticated inner search for meaning which the song encourages is not just for application with final decision making — it’s also applicable to subtle layers of perception.


    ◊🖤 Even just taking a busy urban bus route I can observe paranoid thoughts taking place in a large majority of people. This is not mental illness but commonplace paranoia. People are acting truly terrified that there may be no way to get off the bus when it stops, if they don’t allow themselves to be madly jostled around by getting up to be ready to exit long before it comes to a peaceful stop. Yet the bus always allows ample time to exit once it is stopped. Everyone is struggling with misperception sometimes. It’s OK to admit that sometimes in the most important dynamics in life, emotions are deeper, and so the veil could be thicker when it matters most.


    Conclusion ◊ The UNITY LIFE Message of Healing Through Mainstream Music


    ◊🕊 UNITY LIFE Mystery School is not just Ba Adonai, the medicine woman who promotes personal healing transformation. It is a space of intermedia art as a vehicle of depth-level communication, which acknowledges the art of mainstream entertainment media — illuminating that it is not just entertainment in this music but a true vehicle which is being used by fans silently for their healing journeys every day with amazing results. It will take many archives to convey how much I have actually used this type of music to personally and radically heal.

    ◊💐 As one who promotes how psychedelic plant medicine has been so central to my healing path, but cannot offer this to the world and knows it is inaccessible as a route for most, I feel truly spiritually called to provide this critical information about how this type of incredibly well-produced and professionally designed, highly entertaining mainstream music can support us to heal in a hyper-accessible way.

    Addendum

    ◊ UNITY LIFE Archive Addendums ◊ The writings found on this website are termed under the genre of intermedia art. This is a form of art which contextualizes the process aka making of the artistic creation, as well as the audience, with the work itself. To illustrate that, some archives are followed by an addendum which explores this theme in some way. A common theme is to explore the audience through discussing any reception directly from the stars the archive is about — Because they are the most holistically & strategically aware of their own audience, which I share with them by writing about them and therefore promoting my work through their fanbase.

    In this addendum I explore the overwhelmingly positive and warm reception that I received to this archive on Meta, in response to promotional posts about it, from both Deadly Apples (including the main band acct, and Alex Martel & Antoine LaMothe on their own accts)  and Jared Leto :
