What Is Loosh? Why the Matrix Needs Your Emotional Energy

Have you ever felt like your emotions—especially fear, suffering, or even intense joy—are being harvested for something beyond your understanding? If so, you’re not alone. Many who question the nature of reality have stumbled upon the concept of loosh, an idea that suggests our emotional energy is being siphoned by unseen forces within the Matrix.

But what exactly is loosh, and why is it so valuable to those who might control this system?

In this blog, we’ll dive deep into the concept of loosh, explore who coined the term, and discuss how it might explain the emotional rollercoaster of human existence. We’ll also touch on how this ties into the idea of the reincarnation trap and why breaking free requires more than just knowledge—it requires reclaiming your emotional sovereignty.

What Is Loosh?

Loosh is a term coined by Robert Monroe, a pioneer in out-of-body experiences and astral projection, in his book Far Journeys. Monroe described loosh as a form of emotional or energetic sustenance harvested from living beings—especially humans—through their emotional experiences.

According to Monroe, intense emotions like fear, pain, love, and even spiritual ecstasy produce high-quality loosh, which is gathered by higher-dimensional entities or overseers of this reality. While Monroe’s experiences were framed more neutrally, many who research the reincarnation trap or Matrix control system believe loosh is the primary reason for human suffering and reincarnation.

Who or What Harvests Loosh?

This leads to the bigger question—who benefits from loosh? Different theories suggest:

• Archonic forces (as mentioned in Gnostic texts): These beings thrive on human suffering and manipulate reality to keep us in cycles of emotional turmoil.

• Matrix Overlords / Architects: As referenced by modern thinkers like David Icke, Tony Sayers, and Howdie Mickoski, these are entities or consciousness systems that created this reality as a prison planet to harvest loosh.

• Higher-dimensional beings: In Monroe’s writings, these beings weren’t necessarily “evil” but saw loosh as a necessary energy resource.

Regardless of which framework you resonate with, the common theme is that this construct operates as a loosh farm—where emotional experiences fuel something beyond our understanding.

How Does Loosh Connect to the Reincarnation Soul Trap?

If loosh is the emotional energy harvested during life, then the reincarnation cycle ensures that supply remains steady.

Here’s how the cycle works:

• You live a life full of emotional highs and lows, generating loosh.

• At death, you’re met by familiar guides, loved ones, or even a life review, encouraging you to reincarnate to “learn lessons.”

• By agreeing to reincarnate, you re-enter the system, creating more loosh for harvest.

This cycle, often described as the reincarnation soul trap, ensures that souls remain within the Matrix, continually producing loosh lifetime after lifetime.

Can You Stop Producing Loosh and Break Free?

The key to breaking free may lie in emotional sovereignty. Emotional reactions—especially fear, anger, and despair—are said to be prime loosh generators. By becoming conscious of your emotional responses, observing rather than reacting, and refusing to engage in fear-based programming, you can begin to starve the system.

In addition, preparing for the death transition—knowing what to expect, resisting external influences like guides or the “light,” and reclaiming your sovereignty—may prevent you from being recycled back into the system.

Guided practices like Rehearsing the Death Transition and Navigating Death with Your Divine Spark (available on Sovereign Soul Sessions) are designed to help you strengthen your awareness and maintain control in critical moments.

Why Is Understanding Loosh Important?

Recognizing the concept of loosh shifts the narrative. Life is no longer just about “learning lessons” or spiritual growth—it becomes about recognizing manipulation and reclaiming your power.

By understanding that emotional energy might be harvested, you can start to detach from the triggers that feed the system and instead focus on cultivating internal peace and conscious choice.

The idea of loosh challenges everything we’ve been taught about the purpose of life, suffering, and spiritual growth. But if we are indeed living in a Matrix designed to harvest our emotional energy, awareness is the first step to breaking free.

Stay conscious, observe your emotions, and reclaim your sovereignty.
