# Loosh Farm

> **the affective extraction engine.** A system interpreted as benefiting from sustained emotional intensity, fear, or suffering.

## Origin

The card traces “loosh” to Robert Monroe’s published cosmology before examining later extraction narratives and contemporary remixing.

## What It Is

A system interpreted as benefiting from sustained emotional intensity, fear, or suffering. In the Oracle it is classified as Systems & Regimes, while its evidence layers determine how literal, historical, fictional, experiential, or symbolic a particular interpretation may be.

## Cultural History

The cultural life of Loosh Farm follows emotion imagined as harvestable energy meeting the farm motif across institutions and communities. Each reuse changes what the symbol permits people to notice or ignore. At collective scale, emotion imagined as harvestable energy meeting the farm motif distributes opportunity, visibility, obligation, and risk across positions; this matters because a durable world can hide extraction by moving its costs beyond the visible center.

## Oracle

- **Essence:** A system interpreted as benefiting from sustained emotional intensity, fear, or suffering.
- **Archetype:** the affective extraction engine
- **Gift:** seeing who profits from conflict.
- **Shadow:** a cosmic claim replacing analysis of visible incentives.
- **Guidance:** Use Loosh Farm as a lens on shared survival, place, stewardship, access, feedback, and unequal exposure to risk, not a verdict. Stop when the lens begins to erase evidence or personhood. Use this guidance where emotion imagined as harvestable energy meeting the farm motif shapes outcomes even when no participant intends the whole pattern; keep visible that a durable world can hide extraction by moving its costs beyond the visible center.
- **Healing / integration:** Write four accounts of Loosh Farm: observation, interpretation, cultural story, and symbolic meaning. Underline where emotion imagined as harvestable energy meeting the farm motif changes category. Review emotion imagined as harvestable energy meeting the farm motif through shared survival, place, stewardship, access, feedback, and unequal exposure to risk, remembering that the card shapes outcomes even when no participant intends the whole pattern.
- **Question:** If everyone became calm tomorrow, who would lose value?
