Hi Paddy, it's not a prison. It's a factory farm, a crop circle (i.e. the crop messages). Human beings produce energy through the action of thinking, and that energy is used to perform other kinds of work. Entire civilizations are powered from the output of earth. Human beings are discarded (and recycled), like the skin shed from a snake (i.e. the biblical snake metaphor). All these religions and spiritual teachings are wrong. They have been lying the whole time. I know this stuff because I've seen it, and through being taught by higher powers (i.e. God), I have been educated on our predicament. Our planet is now entering into a "harvest cycle" which is a predetermined cyclical event, and involves the destruction of the people of earth. Earth is really an artificial virtual reality that is better understood as an immersive shared network experience. One word explains it all: agriculture!
