A bold ”hypothesis“

Earth resembles a factory-like facility that generates negative astral (emotional) energy for entities throughout the universe, similar to the cartoon movie "Monsters, Inc."

It is a closed system in and out, with three layers of the operating system, which are the resources gathering system, the resources recycling system, and the planetary cybernetic system (maintenance system).

Gathering system: Soul Capture—You can get in here, but you can't get out.
Although this is a closed system, you still need "raw materials (souls) to start the producing procedure, so some soul that is out of the solar system may get captured into here too (or they are willing to come to the solar system to help the situation here).

Recycling System: Reincarnation and Karma System— It started a bit absurd right now. What if I say karma was a tool to help stabilize the reincarnation? Instead of the law of cause and consequence, the law of Karma is a vicious consensus that was created and originated from the negative entities to suppress our spiritual evolution.
Spirits and souls around the Earth's surface started to forget there how life should be treated and started to take pain, fear, and misery as a necessary path to spiritual growth. The truth is there is no help AT ALL. There are the unnecessary events to limit your frequencies to retrigger the trauma from the past in soul experience or simply let you feel uncomfortable. The negative entities use the law of attraction but in a completely reverse way to let us attract the things we don't really want to maintain the 'Matrix.'
