An ideology speculated to be harbored secretly by variuos groups possibly influenced by ancient texts possibly may be refferred as Buddhistic. Overall idea is that this is something like a dream in God's sleep and consciousness is scattered or mostly supressed and comes and goes. There are groups who are trying to establish conditions that may spawn consciousness in their control or in ways favoring them. Details or purpose may vary substantially based on views. This may be one of the reasons behind concealment of some ancient texts. More importantly these people are possibly trying to make life more challenging for others. Potential victims are Muslim and Asian countries and second and third world countries and less severely Europe. Actually probably the whole world. Although not claiming impact is big. Not trying to asses that here.
It is not just that this idea makes sense in context of a reality show organized by aliens for various reasons, if it was to be true aliens wouldn't let some crazy people to do anything with it.
