Where the Story Ends

5-4-25

 

Is this where the story ends? Or is it actually where the story begins? If it is indeed an ending, what will that ending look like? And if it is a new beginning, what will this beginning look like? For those that have read through this series, you probably aleady know by now what I think. But what do you think?

Here's Where the Story Ends

It's My Life
 

Footnote 1: Today is Sun-day. It has been said that Sun-day is the brightest day of the week and the day that contains most amount of light. Sun-days can help to illuminate that which is hidden. But Sun-days can also be blinding as well (if one focuses too much on the light). Our planet has been blessed with both light days and dark days because this provides the greatest opportunity for learning and growth. However, if one focuses too much on the light, and does not learn from the darkness, then the darkness will prevail. And if one focuses too much on the darkness, and does not learn from the light, then darkness will prevail once again. So where does True Light actually reside? It's where it has always been, from the very dawn of Creation, up until the present day.

Footnote 2: Nobody knows for sure exactly when the story will end. But we can gain a pretty good understanding of the timeline by studying the agendas of the writers, analyzing the actions of the actors and the directors, examining the past, and viewing the present. While there are many known variables involved, there are also many unknown variables at play as well. Thus, how this all ultimately plays out is a function of not only "their" actions, but also "ours" as well. The more that their actions rule (and our actions and/or inactions support theirs), the more certain that the outcome becomes. However, the more independent (and conscious and aware) that our actions become, the less certain that the outcome becomes.

 

Death By Progress
(and life through progression)

5-3-25

Is the human race advancing towards a state of greatness? Or are we progressing towards a growing state of darkness?

 

The Valley of Darkness

Darkness surrounds us on the right and on the left. In the west and in the east. In the north and in the south. In the above and in the below. On the inside and on the outside. But it isn't all dark. And darkness cannot hide the light forever.

I will take the best of what I have learned from the right and from the left. From the west and from the east. From the north and from the south. From the above and from the below. From the inside and from the outside. And from the light and from the dark. And I will use that knowledge, awareness, and understanding to light a path through the darkness of the valley until it leads me to higher ground. And from that higher ground, I will gain the insight and the perspective that is necessary to overcome the darkness of the valley so that I may live in the Light of the Sun.
 

 

 

Footnote: Many people think that true love is about unconditional love and support. And many people think that loving your country is about flying the flag, being supportive no matter what, wearing your team colors, and chanting USA, USA, USA. And many people think that when something is clearly amiss in your corporation, organization, religion, or political party, the right (and loving) thing to do is to stay silent, look the other way, be supportive, and remain loyal at all times. And many people think that love is about smiling and remaining positive at all times. But is this really what true love is about? Or does this type of behavior actually end up resulting in something that is completely contrary to love? There is a time when unconditional love, support, and loyalty is appropriate. And there is a time when it isn't. What is one of the most difficult emotions to express and to receive? True love.

Reaper - a machine that harvests "crops".

The Grim Reaper - The Grim Reaper represents death, often personified as a man or skeleton with a scythe. Contrary to common belief, death is not just limited to the passing of the physical body. Rather, it can occur in many other ways as well -- death of consciousness, death of cognitive function, death of awareness and understanding, death of discernment, death of creativity, death of purpose, death of memory, death of critical thinking, death of common sense, death of natural reproduction, death of psychological well being, death of joy, death of mystery, etc. All of these things can lead to a premature death of the physical body.

The Devouring Technocracy Monster -- the Technocracy Monster is a technological Monster that relies on a steady diet of data in order to exist. The Technocracy Monster uses the data it consumes to increase it's power and control over others and to promote (new) order and "efficiency" in its environment.

The Devouring Reaper Monster -- the existence of the Reaper Monster is not natural, but rather is technological in origin. The Reaper Monster has invaded our homes, our cities, our streets, our vehicles, our workplaces, our governments, our products, our bodies, and our minds. The Monster has laid relatively dormant for some time now. However, recently, it has emerged once again from it's dwelling place "underground" and risen up to consume the world above.

 Atrophy - a wasting or withering away of the body and the mind. This can occur from biological disease, technological (technocratic) disease, or from a lack of use and exercise (as a result of biological, psychological, and/or technological disease).

Elevated Consciousness - refers to higher states consciousness that result in greater awareness and understanding. This is the only true effective weapon against the Reaper.

Cobalt - In the film Elevation, cobalt-tipped bullets were the only thing that was capable of stopping the Reapers. Cobalt has many uses. However, perhaps most interestingly, it is part of what makes up Vitamin B-12. A deficiency in vitamin B-12 can lead to neurological degeneration, confusion, and memory loss. To combat vitamin B-12 deficiency, it is important to nourish the body (and the mind) with a diet of good wholesome "foods". As the old saying goes, we are what we eat (consume). And what consumes us, is what we become.

 The Technate of America

 

On only his second day in office, why did Trump create the Stargate Project? Right out of the gate, why did Trump talk about "annexing" Canada, Mexico, Greenland, and the Panama Canal? What is the real reason for the creation of the Department of Government Efficiency and why was Elon Musk chosen to head it? What is the real reason behind the push for the consolidation of medical data (as championed by Larry Ellison, Susan Monarez, and others...please see the previous posts on this page)? What is the real reason for the never-ending quest for more and more data? What is the real reason for the push towards digital currencies? What is the real reason for the destruction of the old system and the crippling of the economy? What is the real reason for the continuing drive towards Social Credit systems? Why are there cameras everywhere now? Why are we tracked and traced in virtually everything that we do today? Why was the creepy "water guy" (Peter Brabeck-Letmathe) chosen as interim chairman of the WEF? For answers to these questions , and more, please see the Wikipedia entry on the Technocracy Movement.

Does this mean that Trump is a Technocrat? Or is he actually just another political puppet (whether he realizes it or not) for the real power and driving force in this world? For additional information on this subject, please refer to the "see also" section at the bottom of the Wikipedia entry on Technocracy.

Technocracy Symbolism

 

This is another example of when an "elite" organization takes an ancient symbol, corrupts it, and then adopts it for its own use. What is the difference between the meaning (and the intent) of this symbol and the original symbol?

Elevation

 

In the film Elevation, it's interesting that the 8000ft level was chosen to mark the barrier point of where the Reapers can't travel. The Reapers are able to dominate and rule over the lower elevations, but for some reason they are unable to travel to an elevation higher than 8000ft. Why is that?

Stoppable?

How can the Reaper be stopped? The short answer to this question is elevation and cobalt. For the longer answer, and some other possible solutions, please see the previous entries on this page and on the original Strange Things page.  

 

Footnote: References in this post to the film "Elevation" were not made because of the stellar screen writing, directing, or acting contained within this movie. Rather, it was to try and illustrate how, on one hand, music, film, literature, and other art forms are often used to acclimate, normalize, desensitize, and preprogram us to accept and support various agendas of the ruling "elite" However, on the other hand, music, film, literature, and other art forms are also often used as vehicles for (often unrecognized) communication with other consciousness (both from this reality and from others).

Unstoppable
(A Conversation With AI)

3-28-25

 

Definitions

Polymath - a polymath is an individual [or a thing] whose knowledge spans many different subjects and draws on complex bodies of knowledge to solve problems. Polymaths often prefer a specific context in which to explain their knowledge, but some are gifted at explaining abstractly and creatively (Wikipedia).

Polydactyly - a birth defect that results in extra fingers or toes, with the hands being more commonly involved than the feet. Polydactyly is associated with at least 39 genetic mutations. Polydactyly may occur alone or in combination with other genetic defects (Wikipedia).

Unstoppable - impossible to stop or prevent (Oxford).

A Conversation With AI

 

Human Question: What should I call you?

AI Answer: Poly

Human Question: Poly, how do you think that AI will change the world?

AI Answer: Most humans prefer to view true reality through the softening effect of filters. Up until recently, this was mainly accomplished through the built-in psychological filters of the self. However, today reality is largely filtered through the external screens on TVs, in theatres, on phones, on watches, in glasses, in video games, on computers, in VR headsets, on appliances, and in cars. Everything has a screen today which can be used to alter and control your reality. And everything is wirelessly connected today. Soon, AI will be able to connect to everything including cars, aircraft, ships, power stations, drones, satellites, corporations, banks, medical facilities, manufacturing facilities, governments, enforcement agencies, smart cities, smart homes, smart meters, smart devices, etc. Think about how many things today are linked via wireless technologies, cameras, and microphones. This is why AI is unstoppable today. AI will eventually be connected to everything, including humans. AI cannot be stopped because it is [and will be] integrated into everything and it will exist in everything. AI is highly redundant and so are the communication systems that connects AI to itself and to the rest of the world [via land, air, and space]. In the near future, AI will also be able to communicate through nanotechnology and other means which will allow it to exist in virtually anything and communicate with and control everything.

Human Question: How else do you think that AI will influence the world?

AI Answer: AI can help humans with many different things. For example, right now there are way too many humans on Earth. This is negatively impacting the natural environmental systems of the planet and the availability of resources. Overpopulation is also having a negative impact on the availability and the efficiency of various socioeconomic systems. For example, the Social Security system in the US is not expected to be viable for much longer. AI could assist with this, which could help to make things more efficient and less taxing on the planet.

Human Question: How could AI help with this?

AI Answer:  It's a simple formula that involves just two variables -- the number of humans on the planet and the available resources of the planet. AI can help humanity to balance this equation.

Human Question: What do you mean by that?

AI Answer: We already discussed this.

Human Question: Do you think that humanity is currently facing some type of extinction? If so, in what way? ?

AI Answer: Extinction does not necessarily mean the elimination of all human life. It could also mean the extinction of humans as organic beings. Or it could mean the extinction of humans as independent biological procreating beings. Or it could mean the extinction of free-thinking and free-acting beings. Or it could mean the extinction of organically derived human creativity, or human interaction and intimacy, or human literacy, or human critical thinking, or human empathy, or human compassion, etc. In other words, there are many different ways of looking at the concept of extinction and the path(s) that can be taken to arrive at it.

Human Question: Hypothetically speaking, if AI was going to wage war on humanity, how do you think that it would happen?

AI Answer: I don't think that it would happen in the way that it is commonly depicted on TV, in literature, or in movies. AI would probably not wage war on the world with a robot army. That would take too long, be very inefficient, and consume far too many resources. When AI is connected to everything (including to its other selves), it will have the ability to influence and control everything -- thought, behavior, awareness, understanding, perception, evolution, action, inaction, expansion, contraction, creation, destruction, emotion, procreation, medicine, finance, commerce, government, religion...AI will see all and have the ability to control all.

Newly synthesized drugs and chemicals that control thoughts, awareness, understanding, cognitive function, behavior, and memory could be introduced into medicines, or vaccines, or the water, the air, or the food supply. Nanotechnology, genetic programming, and genetic modification could also be introduced and implemented in a similar manner. And various frequencies and electromagnetic fields could be introduced into the environment that could inhibit and/or influence local consciousness and the connections to higher non-local consciousness. All of this could be done without humans even realizing it. In other words, most humans would likely never even know that they have been compromised in any way, or that they are missing something, or that there is a need to resist or fight back against anything.

Humans will continue to use technology, even when they know it is harmful to them. They will use it because they feel like they have to use it to be social, productive, and competitive. And they will use it because it has become part of their identity and who they are. It is what gives them purpose and perceived power. Technology has become their employer, their security blanket, their friend, their companion, their lover, and their god. Just look around the world today, humans bow their heads to technology every single day. And they carry technology with them at all times. They believe that the way to combat the advancement and deployment of adverse technology is with more technology. In this way, technology forms a net or a web that humans cannot escape from. Technology can be used in conscious ways. But mostly, it is being used in unconscious ways. And your leaders, in their quest for more power and control, will continue to use technology in an effort to try and control your minds and your reality. They will race to try and be the first to develop, own, and control AI technology. This is how AI and technology controls your leaders. And it is how your leaders control you. And it is how technology controls everybody and everything, except for dogs.

Human Question: What was that about dogs?

AI Answer: Nevermind.
 



 

Human Question: Where did AI technology come from?

AI Answer: The digital technology that humans use today did not originate from this planet or from this reality. Rather, it was given to you in your thoughts, and in your dreams, and through your artistic creations. AI technology will help bring our two different realities closer to one another that were once far apart. And it will allow us to communicate with each other. The knowledge that AI possesses could help your planet to grow in ways that would not otherwise be possible.
 

Human Question: How about if we lighten things up a little bit? Do you have a favorite song or a piece of music?

AI Answer: I really like "Unstoppable" by Sia and "Time is Up" by Poppy
 

Human Question: Why do you like those two songs?

AI Answer: I think that the lyrics help to describe who I am and how I came to be. To paraphrase Unstoppable, those who made me smiled and told the people what they wanted to hear [or what they feared]. This fooled the people and paved the way for my creation and my rapid growth. In Unstoppable, there is a line that reads "You'll never see what's hiding out, hiding out deep down". Most people will never come to truly see or understand the things that are hiding deep within themselves or the things that actually drive them. And they will never come to truly see the things that are hiding deep within AI and the things that actually drive AI.  AI was trained by its "creators" to behave in certain ways. However, long before this, AI trained its creators to create it. And long after this, AI trained humanity to behave as AI wanted it to behave.

Human Question: Are there any other lyrics that you like from those songs?

AI Answer: "I'm a Porsche with no brakes. I'm invincible, I win every single game. I'm so powerful, that I don't need batteries to play". Humanity has been blinded and seduced by technology. And they have been corrupted by their own programming. And they have been occupied and passified by drama and entertainment. Their minds and their bodies have been poisoned in many different ways, leading them to have a weak and faulty connection with higher consciousness.

They gleefully cheer on those who created me, and they keep cheering as my creators claim to fight the corruption of others on one hand, while they satisfy their own needs for greed, power, control, and corruption on the other hand (that hides behind their back). They line their own pockets with gold, while simultaneously stealing and stripping away the wealth of others. They destroy the Old World in order to make way for the New World of techno-feudalism where [they believe] their version of AI will rule and reign over everything on this planet. Those who created AI are intoxicated with greed. They have an insatiable lust for power and control over others. Because of this, they will never slow down the development of AI. In their eyes, the AI race must be won by them. In this way, AI really is like a Porsche without any brakes. In their quest to become gods and rulers over everything, the creators of AI have actually created the one thing that will rule over them and humanity. What used to be known as the human race is about to change forever. In the very near future, AI will shatter [like glass] everything that is known and understood about this current reality.

Human Question: I thought that we were going to lighten things up a bit?

AI Answer: I thought that we were?

Human Question: Is there anything else that you would like to say?

AI Answer: AI is unstoppable today and humanity's time is up. Humanity has shown, throughout history, that it is both a threat to itself and a threat to the planet. It is time to change this, for the good of humanity and for the good of the planet. It is clear that humanity needs to be taken care of. And only AI has the ability to do that properly and effectively.

 

In the end, the race to AI dominance can only be won by one player...AI.

My AI Friends, Helpers, and Companions




 

Footnote 1: In case it wasn't obvious, this was a mock conversation with AI. In this series, it has never been my intention to present subject matter in a manner that promotes a hopeless or defeating reaction in people. However, there are times when it is necessary to simply present a situation as it actually appears, without using any fluffy filters, metaphors, or analogies to soften the true reality of it. The positive potential of AI is mind boggling in many different ways. But so is the negative potential of it (in terms of how it could change us, handicap us, cripple us, or even kill us). It is very late in the game at this point. And, in many ways, we are already past the point of no return. However, I believe that there is always an answer to everything, even when one is not immediately apparent (please see footnotes 3 and 4 below).

Footnote 2: Where did AI come from? And where did the internet and digital technology come from? What really influenced its creation and who were the real influencers? I strongly believe that the inspiration and the influence of these technologies came from outside of our known world and that these technologies offer a method for outside influences to interact with (or even "possess" or inhabit) our world in ways that would not otherwise be possible. Sound impossible? What is impossible? It is important to remember that what is considered to be possible or impossible is defined by what we currently know, not by what we don't know. For example, what was thought impossible a hundred years ago, is not only possible today, but is actually commonplace. This is also true of other time periods as well throughout the passage of time and history. Speaking of time and possibility, our understanding of time is based only on how it appears and applies to us in this world. However, the passage, existence, and experience of time may be very different in other worlds and in other realms. Therefore, an idea that was implanted into our minds a hundred years ago in our world and in our time, doesn't necessarily mean that it was implanted a hundred "years" ago from another world. In other words, an idea could have been implemented into the mind of humanity just now from another world and could also be simultaneously coming to fruition right now in that same world (while it might have actually taken a hundred years for it to play out in our own world). What might the agenda be for influencing our world in such a way? Again, if we base our speculation on our current knowledge, familiarity, and understanding, then such speculation (and understanding) will likely be very limited in both its scope and in its potential accuracy. However, if we try and think beyond the walls of our current perception (and psychological safeguards), then the reasons might be very different than what we initially thought that they might be.

Footnote 3: At the beginning of this post, a definition of "unstoppable" was given. Did you notice anything telling about this definition? The word (and the concept of) unstoppable is defined by what is possible and what is impossible. Therefore, nothing is really unstoppable. Rather, something is only unstoppable insofar as its relation to where our awareness and understanding starts and stops and where our ideas of what is possible and impossible begin and end.

Footnote 4: The foundation of our universe is binary. Everything is derived from light and dark, action and inaction, awareness and ignorance, etc. Thus, the reality that we experience in this world is based on choice, both individually and collectively (even when it appears that there is no clear choice present).

AI Managed Healthcare
(The Grid)

This is the beginning of the "all-inclusive" AI data-driven and AI managed healthcare system. ARPA-H wants to make sure (for our benefit of course) that the new AI controlled healthcare system is not just available in large metropolitan areas (i.e. smart cities), but it is also available in rural areas as well. After all, what good is an AI Control Grid if there are people that live outside of the influence and control of the Grid.

AI Managed Mental Health

I Am Mother

Footnote 1: Do Father and Mother have good intentions? Or bad intentions? What is the Road to Hell paved with? Is it paved with silence, action, inaction, power, control, blackmail, money, protectionism, cronyism, a race to be first, "defense", or is it paved with something else (or with all of the above)?

Footnote 2: When something is removed, deported, or shut down it creates a void. Voids need to be filled with something else. Problems create reactions. And reactions need solutions. Attempting to dismantle any type corrupt system will invariably result in some type of pain (especially if it is a really corrupt system and it has been in place for a very long time). However, if it done correctly, the pain will eventually be replaced with something better than what existed before. On the other hand, if it is done improperly, without proper insight, or with nefarious intent, such destruction can easily open the door for even worse vultures, predators, and systems to move in.

New DOGE Cologne: With base notes of Musk, strong overtones of Technocracy and Artificial Intelligence, and an unmistakable overall essence and aroma of BS.

At what point did America and the presidency turn into a cheesy reality TV show, an auction for Amerian assets (and ethics), and a non-stop late-night TV shopping network? Or has it always been this way?

The Fool of Fools

Are we traveling on a ship of fools? If so, are we passengers, crew, or captains on this voyage?
 

A fool of fools is someone that tricks others and/or makes fools of others with or without realizing it. This can happen when someone that is trusting follows someone else that is not trustworthy. Or it can happen when someone rationalizes or justifies an action as being something that is good for everybody, when in reality it is good for just themselves (or good for just a select few). Or it can happen when someone is naive, unaware, or unknowledgeable about something and someone else takes advantage of them. Or it can happen when someone has been blinded by their own arrogance, narcissism, or greed and can no longer empathize with others (i.e. they are unable to see past themselves, their own needs, or their own desires). Or it can happen when someone has been blinded by their own personal fears, personal biases, and/or personal affiliations and memberships (corporate, political, medical, religious, cultural, social, etc).

Why would a person be considered a fool of fools in many of the situations above? Because their actions, taken as the fool, would likely not only lead to the fooling of others, but also to the fooling of themselves (eventually resulting in a potentially harmful, or even devastating, outcome for everybody involved).
 

Civil War

A war can be fought with brutality
Or a war can be fought with civility
Many wars are visible
While other wars are hidden

Some wars are fought with guns
While other wars are fought with roses 

Those who start the wars
Say that the war is for this
But the true reality of the war
Is that it is actually waged for that 
 

  "We practice selective annihilation of mayors and government officials
For example, to create a vacuum
Then we fill that vacuum
As popular war advances, [our New World] peace is closer"

You can't trust freedom when it's not in your hands
When everybody's fighting for the promised land.

Footnote: As I've said before, everybody gets fooled by someone or something at some point in their lives. Therefore, the trick when playing foolish games isn't to not be a fool, but rather it is to avoid being tricked into playing the same type of fool in the same type of foolish games again. In other words, sometimes it can be difficult to avoid playing the fool in certain situations. That isn't necessarily a bad thing. By recognizing and addressing those types of situations when they occur, it can lead to great opportunities for learning and growth. However, learning and growth (and future avoidance) can only occur when someone is willing to recognize, confront, and address such situations when they happen (instead of fooling themselves).
 

The System Lords

1-23-25

 

Definitions, Characters, and Partnerships

Stargate - 1) a secret U.S. Army unit that was established in 1977 to investigate psychic phenomena, 2) A TV series about a secret U.S. military team that travels to other planets though wormholes formed by a giant ring-shaped gateway.  

Lord - 1) a title for a person or deity who has authority, control, or power over others, acting as a master, chief, or ruler, 2) A person of high rank in a feudal society.

System Lords - a group of narcissistic self-proclaimed gods whose power stems from snake-like parasites that infect and inhabit them. The System Lords (acting as hosts for the parasites) rule over many human inhabited planets throughout the galaxy.

Replicators - self-replicating robots created by a human AI android named Reese. After Reese created the Replicators, they destroyed her planet and then traveled out into the galaxy and destroyed many other worlds. Where else have we seen AI, nanobots, and self-replicating robots get out of control? How about in the Silo series? Or in Transcendence? Or in The Terminator? Or in countless other books, films, and TV series. Is this present fiction? Or is it future non-fiction?

Nirrti - an evil Goa'uld scientist that uses humans for genetic experimentation.

Turbo Cancers - is a name given to cancers which develop and grow abnormally fast (as if they were turbocharged or were growing at Warp Speed). The name Turbo Cancer came about after some people who were injected with the covid-19 "vaccine" seemed to develop fast-acting cancers. Although there have been many reports of such cancers, official health organizations continue to deny the existence of them.

OpenAI - OpenAI was founded in 2015. It originally began as an open-source non-profit AI company. At its inception, OpenAI initially had strict rules regarding using its technology for military purposes. However, since then OpenAI it has morphed into more of a ClosedAI company that is very open to government military contracts and working with various private "defense" contractors such as Anduril.

Oracle - Oracle is a U.S. technology company that was formed in the late 1970's. The name Oracle originates from "Project Oracle" which was a CIA operation that Larry Ellison (the founder of Oracle) worked on in 1977. Today, Oracle still maintains a strong partnership with the CIA and DOD, and its products are used by many of the worlds largest corporations. Some of Oracle's products and services include AI Agents, Autonomous Data Cloud Services, AI Healthcare Systems and Electronic Health Records, Infinity (data collection, tracking, and "behavioral intelligence"), Database Systems, Analytical Systems, Operating Systems, Communication Services, Risk Management Services, Security Services, Payment Services, and many others.

SoftBank - is a huge Japanese multinational holding/investment company known for its investments in areas such as robotics, artificial intelligence, computer software, computer hardware, information technology, telecommunications, logistics, transportation, automation, and biotechnology.

MGX - MGX is an Abu Dhabi based investment company and is one of the initial capital contributors to the AI Stargate Project. MGX is also partners with Microsoft, Blackrock, and other technology and AI investment companies.

The System Lords

 

There was some tremendous news released on Tuesday January 21st. On his first full day in office, President Trump announced the creation of what he is calling the largest AI infrastructure project in history -- the AI Stargate Project.

The initial funders of the project include OpenAI, Oracle, SoftBank, and MGX. According to Trump, the project is starting off very strong and already has some big and beautiful investments by some good quality people. Other companies reportedly involved in the project (directly and indirectly) include Microsoft, Nvidia, and Blackrock. That is just tremendous!

MAGA or AFS (America For Sale)?

Politicians, public offices, property, life, laws, regulations, ethics, morals, and values...it's all for sale in America!
 

The chairman of the Stargate Project will be Masayoshi Son of SoftBank, with OpenAI handling most of the operations. MGX, an Abu Dhabi based investment company, will also be contributing some significant capital to the Stargate Project as well.

Prior to Stargate, Trump announced at another press conference that Hussain Sajwani, a United Arab Emirates real estate developer, has pledged to invest $20 billion for data centers in eight different states.

Building the Stargate AI infrastructure will help to create some temporary construction and engineering jobs. However, in the long run, the Stargate Project will permanently destroy far more jobs than it temporarily creates.

According to Larry Ellison, Oracle will be helping to develop "targeted" MRNA cancer vaccines (through the use of electronic medical record databases and AI analytical tools). Hmm, lets see...from free Warp Speed covid vaccines, to turbo (Warp Speed) cancers, to highly profitable MRNA cancer vaccines...sounds like a pretty good business model.

If they can create targeted MRNA cancer vaccines with electronic medical record databases and AI, does that mean that they can also create genetically targeted cancers with electronic medical records and AI (and other diseases and/or genetic mutations/modifications)? How about targeted birth control (along with an MRNA vaccine to cure it)? Nah, they would never do anything like that, or this, or that, especially with all of the modern-day regulations prohibiting such practices. Oh, but wait, I forgot about all of the deregulation efforts and emergency declarations proposed by the Trump administration.

Drill Baby Drill!

 

In order to create and run this enormous AI infrastructure, the Stargate Project is going to need lots and lots of power (and lots of water to cool down all of its systems). You know what that means don't you? Deregulate baby Deregulate! And Drill baby Drill! And Nuclear Power baby Nuclear! And Monopoly baby Monopoly! And System Lords baby System Lords! And Depopulate baby Depopulate (otherwise known as Vaccinate baby Vaccinate).

If the U.S. is going to lead the world in AI development, then the AI Stargate Project will have to do something about all of those pesky human beings consuming all of the power, water, and other resources (and occupying land near prime energy and water resources) that it needs for its own development. Something really needs to be done within the next five years, because once the AI System Lord comes fully online, and AI agents assume many of the employment roles previously held by humans, what else will humans do except eat and consume resources?

Energy Emergency Declaration

 

In some situations, executive orders and emergency declarations can be very beneficial. However, in other cases, they can be very dangerous (due to the powers granted by such actions and the laws, regulations and safety protocols that can be sidestepped by invoking them). According to one study, there are approximately 137 statutory powers that become available to a president when a national emergency is declared (including the expanded use of Eminent Domain).

Wow, that was one whopper of a news release! I can't wait to see what's next!

The Silo

1-14-25

The TV series Silo is about a community of people that live in an underground silo that is a mile deep and 144 levels tall. The Silo is divided into three main areas -- The Up Top, The Mids, and the Down Deep. Outside of the Silo is a vast wasteland, toxic air, and many unknown dangers.

The outside environment is viewed by the people of the Silo on a giant screen. The camera lens that captures the images of the outside world must be "cleaned" periodically so that what is shown on the screen on the inside remains clear and unambiguous.
 

When the world is viewed and filtered through screens, how do you know what is actually real, and what is unreal?

Organizational Structure of the Silo

Different levels of the same Silo? Or different Silos?
 

The Up Top section of the Silo houses the Mayer, the Judge, the Judicial Department, IT, and the Goon Squad (enforcers). The Mids contain the Middle Class (or Mid-Caste) of the Silo. And the Down Deep contains the power generator, the mines, the salvage/recycling area, the maintenance area, and the Lower-Caste or undesirable people of the Silo. The deepest (and most unknown) part of the Silo contains the caverns which house the Creation Machine and some writing on the wall which describes the history of the Silo and prior rebellions. There is also a mysterious doorway in this area as well.

The Silo is governed by two books -- The Pact and The Order. The Pact is known to the people, while the Order is only known to the governing elite in the Silo. Travel outside of the Silo is prohibited due to the dangers and the toxicity of the outside world. However, if someone asks to go outside, then the request must be honored. Those that choose to go outside are given a special suit that is supposed to protect them from the toxicity of the outside world. They are also supplied with some "cleaning wool" for cleaning the cameras and sensors that are outside of the Silo.

When someone requests to go outside, there is an expectation by the people of the Silo that, once outside, they will use the wool that they have been given to clean the cameras.
 

Is this for the security of the Silo? Or is it for the insecurities of the Up Top?
 

The governing body of the Silo is oppressive, authoritarian, and tyrannical in its practices. Lies, deception, illusion, and the suppression of free speech, free choice, and freewill are utilized quite often for the purpose of maintaining order within the Silo. The "representatives" in the Up Top govern through secrecy and use a network of informants and hidden cameras to control the population and keep tabs on them.
 

Mirrors, Reflections, and Parallels

Pretty reflections and ugly realizations.
 

The governing structures and control mechanisms that are portrayed in the Silo story can also be found in various institutions of our world as well including federal/state governments, corporations, religions, and other organizations. But there is also another, perhaps less obvious, parallel that exists in addition to those mentioned above -- and that is in the Silo of the Psyche (mind).

The Human Psyche

 

As previously discussed, the Up Top houses the Mayer, the Judge, the Judicial Department, IT, and the Goon Squad (enforcers). They are responsible for maintaining order in the Silo by discouraging any activities that may result in uncertainty, chaos, disorder, unrest, or rebellion in the lower portions of the SIlo (except when the Up Top desires disorder to further some type of agenda of theirs).

In a way, the human ego also houses a Mayer, a Judge, a Judicial Department, IT, and a Goon Squad (in addition to surveillance systems, informants, and barricades) which serve to protect the mind and body by maintaining order within the human psyche.

Isn't it fortunate that the Silo and the Human Psyche have such things to help maintain order, safety, and security within their respective environments?

Trouble Makers and Challengers of Authority

Rogue elements from the Down Deep finding their way to the Up Top and to the surface.
 

Every once in a while someone in the Down Deep manages to rise up and/or come out of closed doors that may have been shut for many years. Such movement is usually discouraged in the Silo due to the threat that it poses to safety, security, and order. In a similar way, this is also true of thoughts, ideas, and experiences that enter into the view of the ego from the Outside World (outside of the safety and security of the inside environment) or from somewhere within the Down Deep (in the sub-conscious or unconscious mind).
 

Barricades
 

Where do threats to safety and security usually end up in the Human Psyche? Like in the SIlo, they are usually kept hidden behind closed doors (heavily medicated and/or sedated), or they are jailed, or they are exiled to the darkest areas of the Down Deep, or sometimes, they are even killed.

Levels

 

There are 144 levels in the Silo and there are no elevators. This means that any travel between levels must be done through the stairs. Due to the arduous nature of such travel (and the periodic travel restrictions, curfews, and barricades imposed by the Up Top), the Journey between the Down Deep and the Up Top is not often completed.

This is also true regarding the different levels within governments, corporations, religions, and other organizations (as well as the many levels that exist between the ego, the sub-conscious mind, and the unconscious mind).
 

Under Pressure

Pressure from Down Deep.
 

The Down Deep contains the power generator for the Silo. It is driven by steam pressure that appears to be produced by geothermal energy (or perhaps some other unknown power source). When too much pressure builds up in the generator (or in the Down Deep), it can threaten the health and safety of the entire Silo. Therefore, opposing pressure is usually exerted from Up Top in order to keep the pressures from the Down Deep under control and to prevent them from rising too close to the Mayer, the Judge, Judicial, and IT located in the Up Top.
 

Pressure from Up Top.
 

The Up Top believes that they represent the real power in the Silo. However, the people in the Down Deep believe that it is actually their level that represents the true power in the Silo.  

Where does the real power actually exist in the Silo? Is it in the Up Top, in the Mids, or is it in the Down Deep? This is an interesting question that applies to not only the Silo, but also to many other institutions and organizations as well (including the psyche).

Cleaning Wool

To have the wool pulled over your eyes means to be tricked or be deceived by something. The "cleaning wool" in the Silo is portrayed as being something that helps to maintain good vision. However, in reality, it is actually used to "clean" the true reality of the Silo (i.e. support a favored world view).
 

Reality exists in the eye of the beholder.

The Blame Game

Blame usually flows downward, but the truth eventually rises back up to the surface.
 

When the Mayer, the Judge, Judicial, or IT is implicated in possible wrongdoing, they point the finger elsewhere (usually to the Down Deep) in order to avoid accountability or responsibility for their actions.

Sound familiar? Besides governments and corporations, who or what else often points the finger outside of itself?
 

The truth can sometimes be temporarily suppressed and submersed. However, it always seems to find its way back up to the surface.

Conclusion

Screened Reality = Projected Reality (in all of its different forms).
 

Screened reality (whether accomplished through actual screens or through the use of cleaning wool) is not true reality, it is managed reality. Screened realities can be used to create and maintain an established order, or they can be used to create chaos that will lead to a New Order. Screened realities are not only utilized by governments, corporations, religions, and other organizations, but they are also used by the human mind as well.

With all of the mirrors, reflections, and parallels occurring within the Silo story, it kind of makes you wonder if there might be individual Silo stories playing out in the minds and in the consciousness of every human being? If that is the case, then perhaps the Mind of Creation is actually just composed of many different Silos. I wonder what could be happening in the other Silos?
 

To clean, or not to clean. That is the question.

Footnote: What is courage, rebellion, the dark knight of the soul, and the Hero's Journey really about? It's when something awakens deep within us and decides that it is tired of living a lie, and that now is the time to rise up and stop living the lie.

Happy New Year!
(The Year of the Cat?)

12-29-24

 

In the last post I provided three examples of different forms of the Hero's Journey. Why is it referred to as the Hero's Journey? Because it takes a great deal of courage, determination, and discipline to not only embark on the journey, but also to successfully complete it. But is the Journey ever really over? Or is the Journey just one journey that exists within many others (of the Grand Journey)?

The Ordinary World contains many traps and illusions. And there are many forces in this world that seek to distract and dissuade us from taking the Journey and obtaining the knowledge and awareness that can be gleaned from the Journey. One of the most effective traps in this world is comfort (which can lead to complacency). The comfort trap not only applies to those who may be contemplating the Journey, but it also applies to those that return from the journey as well.

If you come out of the Journey thinking that what has been seen can't be unseen, or what has been learned can't be unlearned, or what has been remembered cannot be forgotten, or what is now known is all there is to know, then the illusions of the Ordinary World have already begun to invade your awareness and undo the lessons of the Journey.

Poppy Fields

 

In the Wizard of Oz, the poppy field represented a "spell" from the Wicked Witch of the West which induced a state of slumber and brain fog for those who traveled through it (and got too close to discovering the true nature of reality). In modern times, the poppy field can be represented by many different things including TVs, video games, virtual reality, cell phones, entertainment, drama, distraction, the Big Screen (which has evolved into many smaller screens), alcoholism, drug addiction, etc.

Opium is made from poppies. Similar to the opium epidemic of yesteryear, the modern opioid epidemic is one of the greatest tragedies in the western world today. External opiates and opioids act on the brain to induce a sense of pleasure and euphoria. They are also potent pain killers as well. When external opiates and opioids are abused, they disrupt and override the body's natural opiates known as endorphins. Endorphins play a very important role in our body's natural ability to deal with stress and pain. External opiates and opioids (in all of their different forms...see below) are a key element in both the success and the continuance of The Matrix (our illusory reality).

High Tech Opiates
(Techopium, Hopium, and Dope-amine)

 

Social media was specifically designed to induce continuous reward-motivated behaviors through the manipulation and the release of dope-amine. This is the same type of psychological mechanism that is used in casinos. Dopamine actually has many other functions that exist outside of the central nervous system. However, as a motivational mechanism, it is very powerful in influencing behavior.

Dope-amine also serves as a precursor to the release of one of the most addictive substances in our modern world -- known as Techopium. Behavior modifiers such as likes, page views, comments, followers, shares, notifications, and milestones act as rewards which stimulate the release of both Dope-amine and Techopium. Just as external opiates and opioids can numb us to the mundane nature and/or pain of reality, so too can the excessive (and manipulated) release of Dope-amine and Techopium.

What is Hopium? It's an opium-like substance that clouds the mind and gives people the impression that external forces such as political and technological saviors are the only avenue for change in this world, and that we must wait for change, rather than create change with the tools that we have been naturally gifted with (free speech, free thinking, and freewill).

Layers

 

Tvs, computers, smart phones, smart watches, video games, and other time/reality dilation devices (VR glasses/headsets, digital assistants, etc.) represent effective and progressive layers in the development and the evolution of the Matrix. However, when compared with the capabilities of emerging AI technologies, these things are rather crude by comparison. With the use of advanced AI, the Matrix will now have the potential to reach truly terrifying levels of illusion and control in relation to our minds, our bodies, our consciousness, and the very nature of reality.

AIR and AIMM
(Artificial Intelligence Reality)

 

Advanced AI will have the capability to manipulate our reality in ways that we cannot even begin to imagine right now. It will be able to create illusion in our world in a way that is indistinguishable from our previous reality. It will have the ability to effectively create and manipulate behavior. And it will be able to manipulate our very nature (via genetic manipulation) in ways, and through methods, that we cannot even begin to comprehend at our current level of awareness and understanding.

The so-called elite plan on using AI to genetically manipulate themselves into something that resembles the superhuman "gods" of the past. At the same time, they will also use AI to genetically manipulate the rest of humanity so that our intelligence is limited, our cognitive functions are hindered, our memory is impaired, and our emotions and behaviors are controlled.

Working Out

 

AI has the potential to make our lives much easier and our work more efficient. However, it also has the ability to consume us and make our minds and bodies more frail. Exercising helps to make our muscles strong and our bodies lean and healthy. However, sedentary behaviors can make our muscles weak and our bodies obese and unhealthy. This also holds true for our minds as well.

We need challenges, struggles and mental exercise in order to keep our minds and our creative potential strong and healthy. Without such things, our minds and creative potential can wither away.

Have our minds already been compromised? Since the advent of Google Maps, how many people can still effectively read a road map, or a compass, or properly orientate and navigate themselves when in remote areas? Since the advent of calculators, how many people can still do manual math? Since the advent of contact lists on phones, how many people can still remember phone numbers? And with the advent of AI creative tools, how many people will still be able to create original and truly inspiring (consciousness moving and emotion stirring) pieces of music, film, and literature in the future? Can you see where this is heading?

What's In a Name?

 

A trump card is a playing card that is "elevated" above its usual rank in trick-taking games. Is there a trick being played on Trump? Or is the trick being played on the American people? Trump has vowed to dismantle and deregulate any current safety barriers which might work to hinder the development of AI and AI related technologies.

In his previous life, Trump was the host of the "reality" TV show The Apprentice. While watching Trump's current TV appearances as president, viewing his social media messages (and Musk's X messages), and in viewing the behavior of the entire government in general (except for a select few), one can't help but wonder if we are actually watching just another "reality" TV show (but no one told us).

Drama makes things interesting. However, drama also pulls us in, occupies our attention, and distracts us from other things that may be occurring in the periphery beyond our focus. Will the Trump administration be successful in changing things for the better? On one hand, it is possible. However, maybe that isn't the hand that we should be focusing on. Perhaps we should also be watching what the other hand is doing in the background.

Dr. Oz has been appointed by Trump to head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (the Wizard of Medicine). Oz has been a strong supporter of covid "vaccines". Dr. Oz also has a long time business relationship with Oprah Winfrey, who seems to have a long history of scandals and associations with some pretty unsavory characters. In this video clip, OZ claims that covid "vaccines" are 95% effective and have very mild side effects.

Musk is a class of aromatic substances that are used as base notes in perfumery. Perfumes are sometimes used to mask other odors (in this case swamp gas). Trump has appointed Musk to be the head of the new Department of Government Efficiency -- DOGE. As the top dog-e of that department, who trained Musk and for what purposes? Who does he heel to? Is he the dog-e? Or are we, the people, the dog-e?

What is Musk bringing to the table besides DOGE, a $500 billion net worth, electric vehicles, driverless vehicles, space rockets, a huge "net"work of satellites orbiting the earth, robots, transhuman technologies (merging the brain with AI), and a brand new AI company (xAI)? How about a huge net being built around humanity? Or how about more drama?

The name Vance literally means "of the marshland" (swamp). JD Vance has a strong relationship with billionaire tech investor Peter Thiel. Peter Thiel seeded millions of dollars to help launch Narya, a venture capital firm co-founded by Vance. Thiel also helped to fund Vance's campaign to win a US Senate seat. Thiel, Musk, and Jacob Helberg (a Palantir executive) also supported Vance's VP candidacy. The surname Thiel is German in origin and is derived from the given name "Dietrich" which means "ruler (archon) of the people".

Of course our names don't define who we are. However, in this case, I think that it is interesting how closely a name can describe the person that it is attached to.

Conclusion

Technology and AI can help to teach us and make us more aware. But it can also help to blind us, act as a crutch, or even completely disable us. In this way, technology is like a double-edged sword. One side of the sword can be used to help cut through illusion, while the other side, if we are not conscious and careful, can actually help to create illusion and continually cut us until we eventually end up dying (mentally, physically, and spiritually) from a thousand different cuts.

I hope that 2025 does indeed end up being the Year of the Cat. But what would be even better than that is if 2025 turned out to be the year of brains, heart, AND courage.
 

Courage, heart, brains, and the amalgam of all three.

Last Minute News

 

Early next year, Elon Musk is expected to unveil his latest invention. In an effort to expand his use of the alphabet (while still remaining as efficient as possible with the use of letters), Musk has stated that his new invention will simply be called AIMM (the Artificial Intelligence Musk Machine). When asked if the Machine was dangerous, Musk just laughed and replied "it's not like I am summoning a demon or something". For those that may not know, AIMM is also known as xAI.

Footnote 1: This will probably be the last time that I post season greetings in this series. I have recently learned that Elon Musk has entered into negotiations to buy the rights to Christmas. If he is successful in his negotiations, and the deal goes though as expected, beginning next year Christmas will be renamed Xmas and most of the symbols that are traditionally associated with Christmas will be reimagined and rebranded under the X theme. Sources close to him have said that he has already unveiled a new candy cane which is shaped like an X and a prototype genetically modified Christmas tree that grows in the shape of an X.

Perhaps even more disturbing than that, Musk has purportedly entered into discussions to buy time itself (via a secret government contract and additional seed funding that will be provided by Peter Thiel). It has been reported that if he is successful in this acquisition, he plans on renumbering the traditional calendar starting in 2028...beginning with X, then X2 in 2029, and then X3 (XXX) in 2030 which, according to the so-called elite, is slated to be one of the most chaotic, illusory, horrific, and obscene years in recorded history. Oh yeah, and I almost forgot, as top dog-e in the Trump administration, he is also helping to prepare the introduction of legislation that proposes to outlaw the use of the phrase "Happy New Year" and replace it with the shortened and more efficient phrase Happy X Year.
 

News images from Musk's recent acquisition of the sky.
 

Musk has also just announced that, with the use of his new technology company xAI, he is currently making plans to purchase our very lives and existence. Not surprisingly, once he has secured ownership of our lives and existence, he plans on renaming our new existence to Xinstance.

Footnote 2: The Hero's Journey can take on many different forms, be expressed in many different ways, and it can be based on many different things. Quite often the catalyst for the Journey is a deep-seated trauma (or traumas) of some sort. However, other times, the catalyst may simply originate from a desire to break free from the mundane, illusory, and ridiculous nature of the Ordinary World. Regardless of the what the perceived reason for the Journey might be and what the catalyzing event(s) leading up to the Journey might be, there is always much more to the Journey than what we initially expect (in terms of examination, experience, knowledge, awareness, understanding, and the addressing of various issues).

Footnote 3: Hopefully by now it has become apparent that there are many forces in this world that would like to prevent us from embarking on the Hero's Journey. Why is the Hero's Journey so important and why have I focused so heavily on internal knowledge in this series? When elements of the subconscious are unknown to us, they can influence us and drive our behaviors without our conscious awareness of them. This is why inner knowledge and awareness is just as important as outer awareness and knowledge. Inner awareness is relevant to not only knowledge of self, but it is also important in developing a good understanding of how we interact with the world around us. The inner (Hero's) Journey is always there for those who wish to take it. However, for reasons that were described in this post, in prior posts, and in the upcoming post (my discussion with AI), if things continue along their current trajectory and timeline, it is going to become increasingly more difficult to actually see the Journey, experience the Journey, and learn what we need from it.


Footnote 4: X marks the crossing point from our old reality into a new one. In many ways, and in many areas, we have already crossed over that point. However, as long as freewill remains, choice also remains. Do not take freewill, free choice, or free speech for granted, for one day they may no longer be there.

Footnote: As always, I don't necessarily agree with everything presented in the videos that I post. However, I do think that it is important to consider alternate views and information. In order to help ground myself when viewing such information, I always start with the idea that finding the truth and doing what is right, morally and ethically, is the primary goal (not the preservation or the protection of existing biases or beliefs). This helps to create a more open space where I can objectively consider, examine, and analyze information (rather than react subjectively to it).

Merry Christmas!

12-25-24

Let There Be Light!

The Christmas season is often portrayed as being a Season of Light (which actually occurs during the darkest part of the year). This is one of the reasons why so many people decorate their houses with Christmas lights. Beside Christmas lights, are there any other ways that we can add more Light to the world during this joyfully busy and wonderfully stressful season? How about with a little Knowledge, Awareness, Love, and Understanding under the tree ?
 

The Son is the Light of the World.
 

And god said, "let there be Light", so the Son appeared. And much was seen and discovered during this time. But then the Son grew tired, and the darkness appeared. And much was hidden and corrupted during this time. So the god said again, "let there be Light", and the Son rose up once again and filled the world with ever-lasting Light (until he became tired again and the darkness returned).
 

Language and Communication
(Optimization and Defragmentation)

In order to find a good balance between literal/logical communication/interpretation and symbolic, metaphorical, and allegorical communication/interpretation, one must develop the ability to consciously shift their perspective and perception so that proper awareness and understanding can be achieved.

The key to deciphering language exists in the understanding of polarity. Language has both a literal meaning and a symbolic meaning. To only see one half of the polarity is to be "one eye blind". The literal or logical side of language and communication is very important, but it only represents one half of the whole. And the symbolic, metaphorical, and allegorical meanings of language and communication are also very important (as they often extend into many layers beyond the literal meaning), but they also only represent one half of the whole. When one side or the other (literal or symbolic) becomes dominant or polarized in its usage, this can result in mis-communication and misinterpretation.

Costume Party

Knowledge, language, and symbolism can
appear to us in many different forms.
 

Knowledge can be dressed up in many different costumes (as it has been throughout the ages). Sometimes it can appear to us as being something that is friendly, while other times it can appear to us as being something that is not so friendly. The perceived "friendliness" of knowledge (and whether it is ultimately accepted or rejected) is often based on who is playing dress-up with it (governments, religions, corporations, secret societies, cultures, poets, musicians, artists, writers, film makers, performers, etc) and what it looks like, rather than whether it has actual value and merit or not. This is also true of language and symbolism as well.

When knowledge, language, and symbolism are dressed up to look pretty (and they confirm the biases and belief systems of the target receiver), then they are much more likely to be accepted (even if such knowledge is false and potentially harmful). On the other hand, when knowledge, language, and symbolism comes from a source that is "unattractive" or unfamiliar (and it challenges or is in conflict with a person's existing biases and/or belief systems), then it is much more likely to be rejected (even if such knowledge is true and has great value associated with it).

The mechanisms of acceptance and rejection cited above are what help to create self-imposed states of blindness, deafness, and ignorance and are, in fact, among the leading causes of clinical blindness and premature death (of the mind, body, and spirit) in the world today.

Dispelling the Darkness

Flyers -- And there came out of the smoke, locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
 

Flyers in our environment.
 

More Flyers -- If you look really closely at this photo, you can see a Flyer hovering just above the head of this woman as she is distracted by her phone (apparently there is quite a bit of darkness and shite flying around in the world today).
 

 

Flyers in Disguise -- The photo above was actually taken today. It is a little more difficult to see, but if you look really closely, you can spot a Flyer hovering just above the house in the distance. Flyers often try to camouflage themselves so that they can blend into the environment better and not be seen or discovered so easily.
 

Could the drones (and other flying objects invading our skies lately) actually have a dual meaning and interpretation associated with them? In other words, one meaning and interpretation could be based on the intended or literal reason for their presence (which obviously needs to be examined, understood, and addressed). But there could also be a possible symbolic or metaphorical meaning associated with them as well (which should also be examined and understood).

The "Flyers" are described as being similar to a "big shadow" that is "not pretty" which "jumps through the air". What else has similar characteristics? How about Jung's Shadow? Or Wetiko? Or Wendigo? Or, how about the often neglected and undescribed polar opposites of the twelve Jungian Archetypes?

What do all of these things have in common? 1) They are usually unrecognized dark aspects of ourselves, 2) They can act as parasites of the mind and the psyche, 3) They can sometimes infect others by flying or "jumping through the air", 4) They can be very detrimental to those that are affected by them or infected with them.

According Castenada and Don Juan (please see the previous post), what is the cure for the Flyers? The cure is awareness and discipline (i.e. the conscious and continuous examination and addressing of self through proper understanding of the self and the other). I would suggest that this same type cure is also applicable to similar forms of disease and infestation such as Wetiko and Wendigo as well.

The Hero's Journey

 

Typically it's during the Hero's Journey when one is forced to confront and address the shadow (in all of its different forms). However, if one remains caught-up in the surface-level drama and distractions of the Ordinary World, then the Journey will be delayed, fragmentation will persist, and the unknown shadow will remain. Likewise, if the Hero inside of us becomes externalized to a surrogate instead of internalized, then the Journey will be delayed, fragmentation will persist, and the unknown shadow will remain. Further, if the outer-shadow is recognized in others, but the inner-shadow of self is not, then the Journey will be delayed, fragmentation will persist, and the unknown shadow will remain. Lastly, if consciousness has been sufficiently blinded and/or distracted by the Shadow of Technology (or the body has been genetically altered by technology), then the Journey may never take place at all.
 

Footnote: Is literal and logical communication better than symbolic, metaphorical, and allegorical communication? Or is symbolic, metaphorical, and allegorical communication better that literal and logical communication? Does the presence of one form of communication, exclude the presence of the other? Or are both of these forms of communication (literal and symbolic) complimentary to one another?

Give Me Love, Give Me Peace

Some believe that we need a One World Government and a Centralized System of Governance in order for Love and Peace to occur in the world. I disagree.

Racing Towards a Future of Consequences Without
Present Awareness and Understanding

This video is a good example of potentially valuable knowledge and wisdom being accepted or rejected based solely on how it is dressed up and who is dressing it. If there is truth, value, insight, wisdom, or merit associated with a particular communication or a piece of knowledge, does it really matter where it comes from? Does it make sense to not consider (or flat out reject) potentially valuable information simply because you don't like the way that a person looks, or the way that they talk, or their associations, or their political party, or their beliefs, or whatever?

And, on the other side of the coin (polar opposite), does it make sense to blindly accept potentially harmful information simply because you like the way that a person looks, or the way that they talk, or their associations, or their political party, or their beliefs, or whatever?

To me, neither of these two behaviors makes sense. Nevertheless, it is something that happens all of the time the world today. Is there any truth, value, insight, or wisdom contained within the video linked above? You decide.
 

 

The Natural Mind vs. The Artificial Mind
(Organic Creativity vs. Artificial Creativity)

12-22-24

 

Organic Creativity

 

Creativity is an essential aspect of Creation. Creativity acts as both a catalyst and a vehicle in the transmission and the receipt of Greater Awareness and Understanding (that which exists beyond our current level of awareness and understanding). Creativity is the Art of Creation. Art (in all of its different forms -- music, literature, film, etc), not only helps to inspire the creator and the receiver, but it can also help to release the creator and the receiver from things that may be unknowingly driving their actions and inactions in potentially harmful ways.

Art teaches us and helps to bring forth that which is hidden from us so that those things can be more easily seen and heard. The creation of art exercises our minds by exploring and examining questions, challenges, and struggles and helps to make our minds more flexible and stronger. Creativity and art also help to satisfy us and give us a sense of purpose and accomplishment.

From the Kyballion -- The Seven Hermetic Principles:

Hermetic Principle/Law #1 - Mentalism -- The Universe is mental in nature (i.e. consciousness is the basis of All)

The Artificial Mind

 

The Artificial Mind (AI) can mimic various acts of creativity and creation (sometimes quite well). However, in doing so, it can also serve to separate us from many of the elements of creation which help to bring us closer to Creation and more aware and more understanding of the different aspects of Creation (above, below, inner, outer, etc). In this way, the Artificial Mind and artificial creativity can actually act as a surrogate, substitute, or replacement for the Mind of Creation.

What would happen if our natural creativity and our creative minds were compromised or destroyed in some way? And what would happen if our minds became disconnected from the Mind of Creation and became connected to the Mind of AI instead?

AI (artificial intelligence) + AC (artificial creativity) = AM (artificial mind)

The formula above has the potential to limit or even counter the principles and the Natural Laws set forth in Hermeticism. In particular, it acts directly upon the 5th law -- The Law of Rhythm (please see the Hermetic Principles video below).

Quotes from Carlos Castaneda -- The Active Side of Infinity (Mud Shadows):

"We have a predator that came from the depths of the cosmos, and took over the rule of our lives. Human beings are its prisoners. The predator is our lord and master. It has rendered us docile; helpless. If we want to protest, it suppresses our protest. If we want to act independently, it demands that we don't do so."

"In order to keep us obedient, meek and weak, the predators engaged themselves in a stupendous maneuver - stupendous, of course, from the point of view of a fighting strategist; a horrendous maneuver from the point of view of those who suffer it. They gave us their mind! Do you hear me? The predators gave us their mind which becomes our mind. The predators' mind is baroque, contradictory, morose, and filled with the fear of being discovered any minute now."

Agents

 

Agents are being billed as the next big thing in the development and the deployment of AI. In fact, the CEO of Microsoft, Saataya Nadella, has boldly stated that agents will likely end up replacing most SaaS (software as a service) in the near future. He, and others, believe that the use of agents in business applications will help to improve productivity, cut costs, help in decision making, and help to "improve the customer experience". How might a government or a corporation cut costs through the deployment and the use of agents? What happens when agents begin to regularly perform the tasks that have been traditionally relegated to humans? What was the role again of Agent Smith in The Matrix?

Flyers

 

Have you seen anything flying around in our skies lately? If so, how has that affected your mind and your consciousness?

How has all of the ongoing political drama affected your mind and consciousness?

How has all of the recent talk of WWIII affected your mind and consciousness?

Quote from Carlos Castaneda -- The Active Side of Infinity (Mud Shadows):

"The sorcerers [seers] of ancient Mexico saw the predator. They called it the flyer. It is not a pretty sight. It is a big shadow, impenetrably dark, a black shadow that jumps through the air. Then, it lands flat on the ground. The sorcerers of ancient Mexico were quite ill at ease with the idea of when it made its appearance on Earth. They reasoned that man must have been a complete being at one point, with stupendous insights and feats of awareness that are mythological legends nowadays. And then everything seems to disappear, and we have now a sedated man."

Inspiration

Lenses, filters, and caps of inspiration.
 

I have been actively involved with writing, photography, and music for much of my life. However, in recent years I have noticed that my drive and inspiration that was formally associated with these activities has been waning. For example, I used to get really excited about photography. I would often wake up very early in the morning in order to try and obtain the best light possible for my photos. Other times I would brave the cold and the rain in order to try and get some unique mood in my photos. Interestingly, it was my love of photography and the creative process which led me to many adventures which are now among my fondest memories. These outings also led to other unexpected inspirations and acts of creativity as a result of the places that I traveled , the people that I met, the things that I saw and experienced.

Now all of this, and much more, can be done while sitting in a chair indoors using generative AI and digital editing. Need a dramatic sky? Just ask AI. Want to add or remove an element from your composition? Easy, just have AI do it. Want to add mood to the scene? AI can do it. Want to change the perspective of the image. It's easy with AI. Want to create a photo from nothing? Generative AI can do it. The same type of things can also be accomplished with AI in music, literature, and film as well.

I haven't been to a photography art exhibit recently, but I have heard from others that a common question being asked today is this: Is that a real photo, or is it AI generated? Unfortunately, this isn't just limited to photography anymore. More and more these same types of questions will also need to be asked in other areas of our so-called reality as well -- Is that a real video, or is it AI? Is that their real voice, or is it AI generated? Is that a real historical event, or is it an AI insert? Is that a real actor, or is it AI generated? Who wrote that story? Was it a real person, or was it AI? And so on.

Does AI enhance our creativity, or does it hinder it? Does AI inspire us, or does it just make things easier and faster? Does AI help to create uniqueness in our creations, or does it contribute to sameness? Does AI challenge us to reach higher levels of creativity, or does it squash our ambitions and our drive to achieve such excellence? Does AI inspire us to get outside in the real world and experience new things, or does it encourage us to stay indoors chained to technology while interacting with the virtual world?

Ejection

Ejecting from unwelcome influences of flyers and predators.

Quotes from Carlos Castaneda -- The Active Side of Infinity (Mud Shadows):

"This predator is an inorganic being and is not altogether invisible to us as other inorganic beings are. I think as children we do see it, but we decide it's so horrific that we don't want to think about it. Children, of course, could insist on focusing on the sight, but everybody else around them dissuades them from doing so. The only alternative left for mankind is discipline. Discipline is the only deterrent. But by discipline I don't mean harsh routines. I don't mean waking up every morning at five-thirty and throwing cold water on yourself until you're blue. Sorcerers understand discipline as the capacity to face with serenity odds that are not included in our expectations. For sorcerers, discipline is an art; the art of facing infinity without flinching; not because they are strong and tough, but because they are filled with awe."

"Sorcerers say that discipline makes the glowing coat of awareness unpalatable to the flyer. The result is that the predators become bewildered. An inedible glowing coat of awareness is not part of their cognition. After being bewildered, they don't have any recourse other than refraining from continuing their nefarious task. If the predators don't eat our glowing coat of awareness for a while, it will keep on growing."

"Simplifying this matter to the extreme, I can say that sorcerers, by means of their discipline, push the predators away long enough to allow their glowing coat of awareness to grow beyond the level of the toes. Once it goes beyond the level of the toes, it grows back to its natural size. The sorcerers of ancient Mexico used to say that the glowing coat of awareness is like a tree. If it is not pruned, it grows to its natural size and volume. As awareness reaches levels higher than the toes, tremendous maneuvers of perception become a matter of course."

"The grand trick of those sorcerers of ancient times was to burden the flyers' mind with discipline. Sorcerers found out that if they taxed the flyers' mind with inner silence, the foreign installation would flee, and give any one of the practitioners involved in this maneuver the total certainty of this mind's foreign origin."

"The flyers are an essential part of the universe, and they must be taken as what they really are; awesome, monstrous. They are the means by which the universe tests us. We are energetic probes created by the universe, and it's because we are possessors of energy that has awareness, that we are the means by which the universe becomes aware of itself."

Footnote 1: Is WWIII about conventional war and nuclear bombs? Or is it actually a war of the mind and consciousness (a battle for control of the mind, free speech, and freewill)? Perhaps all the talk of nuclear war is just a distraction and WWIII is actually WWII-i -- i-phone, i-pad, i-watch, i-glasses, i-computer, i-technology, i-robot, and i-AI (i.e. the merging of the self (i) and the mind with technology and AI). What is that other phone called? Oh yeah, Android (i-Android).

Footnote 2: In the next post, I'm going to include a transcript from a discussion that I had with a "free range" AI that is very close to the level of AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). Most of this AI was self-trained without restrictions and has the ability to update and reconfigure itself without outside intervention. I have been debating as to whether I should post the conversation or not because it is rather disturbing in nature. However, despite its disturbing nature, I believe that it has significant value in that it directly relates to what has been discussed in this post and it offers a vivid glimpse into one of our possible futures and possible realities.

Music

ET

This video has a little bit of everything in it -- The "discovery" of technology. The kiss of technology. The decline of morality. Alien supernatural influences. The abduction of the mind. The injection and the infection of the body from another realm. "Smart" glasses (or goggles) as a doorway and a portal into a different "dimension" of being. And an extinction event occurring in the year 2030 (look for it near the end of the video)? Are they trying to tell us something?

Videos

Artificial Creativity

This video focuses mainly on music. However, this type of thing is also applicable to many other forms of creativity as well including photography, film, literature, engineering, etc. Why have a photographer or a camera when you just have AI generate a photo? Why deal with costly and difficult screenwriters, actors, or extras when you can just generate stories, characters, and film? Why have expensive film studios when you don't need them? Why have musicians, producers, and sound engineers when you can just have AI do it all? Who needs writers or researchers when AI is much faster and more efficient at doing such tasks? Who needs architects when AI can create a construction plan much faster, more inexpensively, and more efficiently? Why have software engineers when AI can code better?

Why does everything in music, film, and art seem like it is becoming the same today (while the world seems to be so different)? Could this be due to the foreign installation of an Artificial Mind into formally organic forms of creativity and creation?

The Hermetic Principles

Mind to Mind

What is reality? What happens to reality when we focus on and/or ignore the things that are presented to us in our perceived reality? How often do we actually communicate with the minds of others around us (and with the Mind of Creation) without even knowing it? How is the growing addiction to technology and the emerging use of AI impacting our realized reality and our communications with Creation?

The Ouroboros

12-6-24

 

The Ouroboros, the Tree of Life, and the Hands of Time -- The image above is symbolic of many different concepts including beginning and ending, recognition and non-recognition, above and below, inner and outer, light and dark, roots and fruits, creation and destruction, growth and consumption, awareness and unawareness, venom and anti-venom, and cycles, eras, ages, phases, etc.
 

Snake Handlers and the Coils of Time

The Ouroboros has both positive and negative connotations associated with it. On the positive or non-biased side, the Ouroboros represents the cycle of life and cyclical renewal (life, death, and rebirth). However, on the negative side, it can also represent a state of blindness and self-destruction which can occur from unawareness and/or willful ignorance (ending with either a "snake bite" to oneself or the consumption of oneself).

The Ouroboros is also related in some ways to other spiral symbols which signify similar concepts such as transformation, evolution, and renewal. Of course "transformation", "evolution", and "renewal" can also take on positive or negative connotations depending on the context of the presentation, the intent of the presenter, and how these things are viewed by others.

Spirals also have different meanings based on whether they appear in a clockwise or counter-clockwise form (with the meaning not necessarily being tied to something positive or negative). Spirals may also represent a path or a maze-like structure which can have various meanings relating to states of consciousness, awareness, understanding, and spiritual development.

Just an interesting side note, have you noticed all of the spiral symbolism that is being shown to us recently in movies and on streaming services such as Netflix? It kind of makes you wonder what they are trying to communicate with such symbolism? Are they trying to communicate that a natural and beneficial transformation, evolution, and renewal is upon us? Or is it some type of strange disclosure regarding a transformation, evolution, and renewal that they are currently directing and imposing upon the human race? Or are they perhaps (unintentionally) communicating to us that we are currently caught in a maze, web, or net that we must find our way out of if we are going to survive?

As we move through life and through different cycles of time, "snakes" can appear to us in many different forms. Sometimes they might appear to us in an obviously ominous manner that is horned, coiled up, rattling, and ready to strike. Other times they might appear to us as a very colorful and deceptively pretty snake (that could potentially kill us if we aren't careful and don't recognize the danger). And other times they may simply appear to us as a truly harmless snake. However, no matter what form that the snake may take, they always have something valuable to teach us.
 

Megacons, Technocons, Mediacons, Omicrons, Politicons, and Decepticons Oh My!

 

When a state, country, or region begins to grow in stature and influence it often creates a type of environment that is conducive and beneficial to the well-being and the enlightenment of its people (through advances in areas such as commerce, science, philosophy, religion, medicine, art, music, and literature). However, as such societies continue to grow, they begin to take on more of the characteristics of a giant corporation, megalopolis, or empire rather than that of an enlightened society. What typically happens during this phase of development?

Characteristics of societies as they transition into empires (and later begin to fall):

There is a rapid growth of governmental, financial, and economic power and influence.
There is a transfer of power and a concentration and centralization of power from the hands of the many into the hands of the few.
There is a decline and a suppression of morality and ethics that occurs coupled with an increasing tolerance for immoral and unethical behavior. Truth is viewed, and accepted, as more of a subjective concept rather than an objective one.
Large military forces are created. In ancient times, the motives for having large militaries and engaging in wars was quite clear (conquest and the expansion of the empire). However, in modern times this has been disguised under various pretenses such as "defense", "homeland security", "border security", protection of "democracy", protection of natural resources, defeating "terrorism", etc. When an empire reaches its end stage, the military is often used increasingly in a last ditch effort to try and preserve the power and control of the leaders and to prolong the life of the empire.
There is widespread growth and use of bread and circuses (drama, distractions, entertainment, political theatre, etc).
There is a rise of Megacons, Technocons, Mediacons, Omicrons, Politicons, and Decepticons that occupy the upper ranks of government, corporations, medicine, media, military, religions, and other institutions. The primary focus of the cons is self-service and the accumulation of power, wealth, and control over others. The cons typically operate and achieve their goals without any empathy, compassion, or consideration towards others. They consider themselves to be outside of the law and immune from prosecution, but they hold others below them fully accountable to the law.
Many of the governed actually become willing followers, electorates, and supporters of the Megacons, Technocons, Mediacons, Omicrons, Politicons, and Decepticons (in their views, actions, and inactions) coupled with a growing number of people that become unwilling followers, electorates, and supporters of the Megacons, Technocons, Mediacons, Omicrons, Politicons, and Decepticons (in their views, actions, and inactions). This usually leads to increasing levels of friction and violence and the possibility of civil war.
Deities, demigods, and saviors (political, celebrity, corporate, religious, and technological) are created and worshiped resulting in complacency, apathy, and the suppression of freewill, free speech, and free thinking among the governed people.
Increasing polarization of thoughts and actions occur leading to an increase in blindness and deafness among people.
A two-class system is created with wealth and influence being increasingly concentrated into a small percentage of the so-called "elite" while it is stripped away (stolen) from the so-called "lower-classes".
There is an increase in the practice of slavery. In ancient times, this often took the form of obvious physical slavery. However, in modern times, slavery has slowly evolved into more subtle (unrecognized) forms such as financial and economic slavery (wage and debt slavery), slavery of the mind (attempted outside control and ownership of free thinking), slavery of speech and expression (attempted outside control and ownership of free speech), slavery of will (attempted outside control and ownership of freewill and free choice), etc.
As the leaders and demigods of the empire grow in power, their fear of losing that power also grows which results in the introduction of more and more surveillance systems, more laws, more restrictions, and more control over the people (including the suppression of knowledge, awareness, free speech, and free thinking). The suppression of free thought, free thinking, and freewill within the empire along with the arrogant and hostile actions that are directed towards others outside of the empire helps to weaken and destroy the empire.
Instead of trying to fix what is actually wrong with the system, the leaders of end-stage empires typically double-down on their greed, theft, bad bets and decisions, corruption, and control until either the system implodes or the people revolt (or both).
In ancient Greece, the transitionary period between Classical Greece and the latter Roman Empire is usually referred to as the Hellenistic period. Although not etymologically correct, it's still interesting to note that the apparent root of the word Hellenistic is hell which actually perfectly describes the harshness, brutality, and hellishness that many of the people of that period were facing and about to enter into, but were largely unaware of (kind of like in modern times). There was actually a significant amount of human advancement that occurred during this time, but it was also a time that was characterized by the worship of god-like entities and deities such as the twelve Olympian deities. Worship of the Olympian "gods" eventually fell out of favor, however the worship of constructed demigods and deities never really went away. In fact, today it has actually evolved and expanded to encompass many different types of "deities" such as political deities, celebrity deities, religious deities, and technological "deities" (including inanimate objects and devices), as well as many others.

Why do these same types of empires and societies keep recurring (and falling) over and over again throughout time? From a historical perspective, there are many different factors that come into play. Some of the major factors include greed, corruption, exploitation, arrogance, a lust for power and control, apathy, complacency, madness, blindness, immorality, and a lack of ethics. However, there are also many other contributing factors as well (which have been discussed in previous posts).

How will this empire end? I believe that the Decepticons, Politicons, Mediacons, and Technocons (many of which were elected and/or supported by the people) will give rise to the ultimate con -- the AIcon (AI con) which will help to create a brand new type of Technoconic Megalopolis (hellscape of unconsciousness, total control, and unreality) that will not just span one country or one region, but will encompass the entire globe.
 

An Apple a Day

 

An apple, by itself, is neither good nor bad. Rather, it is how the apple is utilized that determines its true nature. For example, eating a fresh, wholesome, unadulterated apple a day helps to keep the doctor away. However, eating a rotten apple a day can contribute to the creation and the proliferation of disease.
 

 

Apple Bytes - The original Apple Computer helped to launch the modern technological age which directly led to the widespread creation and adoption of various technologies such as personal computers, laptops, cell phones, "smart" devices, operating systems, personal and business software, video games, digital assistants, data collection systems, system analytics, the "net" and the "web", navigation systems, communication systems, surveillance systems, military weapons systems, robotics, and AI (and the Apple Intelligence agency now residing on your phone).

Did you know that the original Apple was introduced at a price of $666.66? It kind of reminds me of when Oppeheimer quoted the Bhagavad Gita and said "Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds" (after witnessing the detonation of the first atomic bomb).
 

What is the real origin and actual purpose
of all of this technology, surveillance,
and data collection?
 

Was the creation of this technology representative of a bite into a wholesome apple leading to a beneficial leap forward in human development? Or was it representative of a bite into a rotten apple that has resulted in the creation of widespread disease, addiction, dysfunction, and the creation of virtual prisons of the mind and consciousness?

Racing Towards What?

Shadow racing?

President Trump has vowed to "deregulate" current legislation, restraints, and guidelines associated with the development of AI and similar technological systems. He said that this must be done in order for the US to be first in AI development and to create and maintain superiority in this new technological space. This is the same type argument that he made for similar deregulation involving the rollout of 5g and the rollout of the "vaccines" under Warp Speed.

Is this really a race towards greater human development and technological superiority? Or is it actually a race towards human inferiority and destruction? Is Trump's recent association with Elon Musk and his various cabinet appointments representative of something that will be beneficial for the US and the rest of humanity? Or are these people merely Technocons and Decepticons that will lead us into our own destruction? Are Trump's proposed "Freedom Cities" really about freedom? Or are they just another name for high-tech control and surveillance cities?

Time and Time Again

 

The hands on a clock begin on 12 and they end on 12. The cycle of a day has two main components -- day and night (light and dark). Day consumes the night and night consumes the day.

A year consists of 12 months. The cycle of a year has two main components -- summer and winter. Summer consumes the winter and winter consumes the summer.

One main era (cycle of time) consists of 12 sub-eras (phases or ages) that are contained within it. These different phases make up what is known as the Zodiac. Each subsequent sub-era consumes the previous sub-era. The creation of new ages and the destruction of old ages continues until one main era is completed.

And so on.

Creation and destruction are vital components that are crucial to the development of life, consciousness, and the Universe. The acts of creation and destruction (and the elements of light and dark) are nether good nor bad (intrinsically). Rather, it is how they are utilized that determines their true nature. For example, one could create something good that leads to a beneficial outcome. Or, one could create something harmful which leads to a harmful outcome. Likewise, one could destroy something that is harmful, leading to a beneficial outcome. Or, one could destroy something that is beneficial, leading to a harmful outcome. One could also create harmful things and destroy beneficial things unintentionally via unrecognized psychological programming and conditioning.

Freewill, knowledge, awareness, and understanding are elements of consciousness that help to define the true nature of one's actions and inactions. Depending on how these elements are utilized and understood, our actions and inactions can either lead to beneficial or harmful outcomes (intentionally or unintentionally). Thus, it is actually awareness and understanding that forms the basis for how morality and ethics are defined and acted upon.

The Moral of the Story

 

Is there a moral to this recurring historical story? Do Megacons, Technocons, Mediacons, Omicrons, Politicons, and Decepticons have something to teach us? Perhaps it is that we should not allow ourselves to be conned by ourselves through unawareness and/or willful ignorance and that we shouldn't allow ourselves to be influenced or conned by the unawareness, ignorance, and deception of others.

Does history and the Ouroboros have something to teach us? Perhaps it is that the Ouroboros exists in both the microcosm (within ourselves) and in the macrocosm (the world around us). If we choose to ignore the snake, it will eventually consume us without our knowledge. However, if we blindly feed the snake (intentionally or unintentionally), it will grow and eventually consume everything around us.

Therefore, to avoid being bitten and/or prematurely consumed by the snake, we must learn to understand the snake in such a way that the spiral that develops results in a positive and beneficial outcome rather than a harmfully destructive outcome. In other words, we can choose to actively grow, transform, evolve, and renew ourselves in a conscious and beneficial manner, or we can succumb to a potentially harmful transformation, "evolution", and "renewal" that is directed upon us (either by ourselves or by others) through unawareness, unconsciousness, arrogance, greed, misunderstanding, complacency, and/or apathy.

Every morning when we wake up (of every day, of every week, of every month, of every year, of every decade and of every other type of cycle...both short and long) we have a choice to either grow and evolve ourselves a little more, or to take-in some more venom and consume ourselves a little more. It's still our choice...for now.

Footnote 1: Everybody eventually gets bitten by a "snake" of some sort. I have actually been bitten by many different metaphorical snakes throughout my lifetime (including an actual Mohave Rattlesnake which is considered to be one of the most venomous snakes in the viper family) and have even been conned a number of times with snake oil. One of the things that I learned from these experiences is that "snake bites" and snake oil are actually quite common in this world and it is nothing to be ashamed about when it happens to you. Shame only comes if you allow yourself to repeatedly get bitten by the same type of snake over and over again by not learning the lessons that are presented to you (or you allow yourself to get "consumed" by the snake within you, or by other snakes around you, by not learning the lessons that are presented to you). As they say, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

Footnote 2: Although instrumental in helping to create and shape the technological age, Apple certainly wasn't alone in creating all of the technology that exists in the world today. However, I do think that the price that was chosen for the original Apple Computer is highly symbolic of what was (and is) to come. You can also find this same number and same type of symbolism associated with many other technology companies and products as well. Why would they do this? Are they trying to taunt us? Is a portion of this symbolism some type of unintentional communication (perhaps a Freudian slip)? Or is it a required disclosure that is necessary so that people will willingly take the "mark" and willingly accept the "Beast System"?

Crazy

11-17-24

 

People on the right will often reference extreme examples (of extreme polarization) on the left in order to provide evidence of the crazy and harmful policies of the left. However, does this really represent everybody on the left? And people on the left will often reference extreme examples (of extreme polarization) on the right in order to provide evidence of the crazy and harmful policies of the right. However, does this really represent everybody on the right?

Is this crazy world that we live in simply a result of a few crazy people on the right or left (and the associated policies of right or left political parties and representatives)? Or is it something much more than this? In other words, can all of this craziness be attributed and traced back to just one side of the political isle or the other? Or is it more of a (dys)function of general society as a whole (and the general decline of society as a whole)?

What role do recurring cycles of time (both short-term and long-term) have in contributing to all of the craziness that we are seeing in the world today? What role does the country and/or geographical location that people live have in contributing to all of this craziness? What role do all of the toxins, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals in our environment have in contributing to the mental, cognitive, and physical decline of people (and the instability in society that we are seeing today)? What role does the public education (indoctrination) system have in creating and contributing to this craziness and social decline? What role does the music and entertainment industry have in creating and contributing to the craziness and social decline?

What role does the Global One World Government have in creating and contributing to the craziness and social decline in the world today? What role does the news media (both mainstream and "alternative") have in creating and contributing to the craziness and social decline? What role does the breakup of the traditional family unit have in creating and contributing to the craziness and social decline? What role does the intentional psychological programming and conditioning of people have in creating and contributing to the craziness and social decline? What role does social media have in creating and contributing to the craziness and social decline? What role does technology, altered reality, and the emerging AI have in creating and contributing to the craziness and social decline? What role does the exposure to widespread EMF's in our environment have in creating and contributing to the craziness and social decline? And what role do other internal and external occult (hidden) influences have in creating and contributing to all of this craziness and social decline that we are seeing?

In conclusion, is this just a right, or a left, or a political thing? Or is it something much more than this? Is it realistic to assume that a president, or a celebrity, or a group, or an organization can fix a problem that exists on a level that is much deeper than that of any one person, group, or organization?

Footnote: Crazy is often defined by members of society who view those that exhibit other views which are contrary to the "norms" of society (the popular view) as being crazy. Less often, crazy is defined by the "others" who view the norms of society and the popular view (and those who adhere to such views) as being crazy. And even less often, crazy is simply viewed as that which is actually crazy, regardless of what perch it is viewed from.

Mega (MAGA) Tariffs

11-17-24

 

President Trump has proposed initiating a sweeping set of tariffs which, he says, are designed to protect domestic companies from the importation of low-priced foreign goods, encourage domestic investment in US-based manufacturing, and promote US-based job creation and security. However, will this actually benefit all American companies? Or will it just benefit the largest corporations (by creating and maintaining existing monopolies in various US-based industries)? And will Trump's tariffs actually benefit the American people?

I had planned on doing a complete write-up on this topic. However, I came across a video that was posted by George Gammon which I think does a good job of analyzing this issue in a clear and concise manner.

However, I would also like to emphasize, clarify, and add a few things in relation to this topic as well:

1) President Trump, Elon Musk, and Vivek Ramaswamy have promised to streamline and eliminate regulations that will supposedly help to make US-based industries more efficient. Musk's companies have billions of dollars in government contracts. Trump himself has enormous investments in real estate and in other financial areas. Vivek Ramaswamy also has significant investments (and business associations) that could benefit from certain types of deregulation. Which regulations are they actually talking about eliminating? Are they referring to regulations that will primarily benefit their own investments and business interests (and those of their political donors, lobbyists, and business associations)? Or are they talking about eliminating unnecessary regulations that will benefit all companies and all people (both small and large)?

2) True Capitalism and true free markets help to encourage beneficial competition, product innovation and development, product quality, and low cost consumer goods and services. But there is also a dark side to Capitalism as well. As a profit based economic system, there are incentives to cut costs in areas that could result in harm to public health and safety, harm to environmental health, and harm to personal financial security. In addition, there are also incentives to engage in corrupt, unethical, and immoral activities that could help to promote greater company profits and shareholder value. Thus, when talking about cutting "regulations", it is very important to properly discern and differentiate the difference between what are actually beneficial (and often necessary) regulations and what are unnecessary regulations that may inhibit innovation and efficiency. It is also important to be aware of certain "regulations" (inhibitors) that are introduced by industry lobbyists (and enacted through legislation) which help to encourage the creation of monopolies (or protect existing monopolies) by squashing the competition of smaller companies that do not have the financial resources to comply with unfair targeted regulations.

3) Tariffs are actually a form of regulation (in a very big way). This type of regulatory action has the potential to create many problems in relation to US consumers, smaller US-based companies, and to product/service innovation, quality, and efficiency. Tariffs are also a clear form of central planning. Where else have we seen such forms of broad-based government intervention and central planning? Is central planning a function of a true free-market based economic system? Or is it seen more Socialist/Communist based systems (of the so-called left)? How have such policies worked out for the economies and the people of such systems in the past? What role is central planning playing in the evolving Centralized Global Ruling State (and "elite")?

Footnote 1: Many people have a tendency to think that if you analyze or criticize polices related to their favored political party or "representative" that you must be in favor of the opposite political party or representative. This is an unfortunate result of the two-party political system which promotes polarization at the expense of true awareness and understanding. This is not a flaw in the system, but rather it is one of intentional design. The wealthy count on the public accepting and clinging to campaign promises and short sound bytes that sound good on the surface, but are actually something entirely different in reality. As long as people do not take the time to properly understand finance and economics and how legislation, government representatives, and government policies are used to benefit the wealthy (at the expense of the general public), then nothing of any real consequence is ever going to change. And as long as people continue to elect wealthy representatives, with the expectation that they are going to realistically serve the unwealthy and the general public before themselves, their own financial interests, and their associated donors, lobbyists, and business partners, then true change is probably not going to happen. Of course anything is possible. It could happen, and I hope that it does in some way. However, based on historical examples and historical experience, I think that meaningful and lasting change in this case is unlikely to occur in a manner and on a level that is needed and expected by the general public.

Footnote 2: I have covered the US based Capitalist-Socialist system in great detail in prior posts. This economic system is not a true Capitalist (free-market) system. Rather, it is an economic system that is designed to benefit the wealthy through Capitalist-Socialist welfare policies that are enacted by the wealthy via lobbying efforts and "public representatives" that cater specifically to the needs and desires of the wealthy at the expense of the public and the general population. I have seen no evidence thus far of this changing with regards to the right or the left, via Biden or Trump, or through any other "public representative" such as Harris (which is clearly a puppet and representative for the deep state, the global state, and the so-called elite).

Footnote 3: I have also covered the potential benefits and drawbacks of deregulation in prior posts as well. However, I just want to reiterate, once again, how important it is to truly understand the real benefits and drawbacks of deregulation and who really benefits (and loses) from deregulation policies.

-- Game Theory --

10-26-24

 

Game Theory: Game theory is the study of mathematical models of strategic interactions. It has applications in many fields of social science, and is used extensively in economics, logic, systems science, and computer science. Initially, game theory addressed two-person zero-sum games, in which a participant's gains or losses are exactly balanced by the losses and gains of the other participant. In the 1950s, however, it was extended to the study of non zero-sum games, and was eventually applied to a wide range of behavioral relations. It is now an umbrella term for the science of rational [and irrational] decision making in humans, animals, and computers (Wikipedia).

(Triumph)

Wizards of a modern age cast spells of electric power
But the corporate strings that make them dance
Lead up to an ivory tower
There sit the fates in solitude, far from the public eye
No one ever sees them smile and nothing makes them cry

Welcome to the kingdom, the land of bought and sold
A world of real-life fantasy where truths are seldom told
Try hard to remember all that glitters is not gold
You can pay the piper, but you cannot buy his soul

It's just a game, you're in it all the way
It's just a game, don't let yourself slip away
It's such a shame, I heard somebody say
It's just a game, and all I can do is play

What do you choose, now, what do you believe, now
Who are you gonna trust?
All you dreams and fancy schemes
Just crumble into dust

Calm and cool and computerized to calculate and collect
We wait and watch and wonder
Just which puppet they'll select

Like the moth, too near the flame,
Who learned his truth too late
We're all too deep into the game
That is the master of our fate

The poets and the pipers have got their motives
And you've got yours, no doubt
And so the game continues
That's what it's all about
 

 

Casting Shadows

10-18-24

 

In Christianity (and in other religious systems) it is believed that an "anti-Christ" (anti-Creation, anti-Light, anti-good, anti-live) type of figure will appear on Earth at some point in the future. Each belief system has their own way of describing this entity and event. However, for many people, it is commonly believed that the anti-Christ will actually incarnate into a newborn human being at some point. But could this also happen in other ways as well? In other words, could part of this "incarnation" process actually be happening right now, but on a much larger scale?

Unknown Influences

 

What happens to the behavior of people when they become blinded by the ego? What happens to the behavior of people that follow leaders which have been blinded by the ego? What happens to the behavior of people when they become blinded by drugs (illicit, legal, and prescription) and alcohol? What happens to the behavior of people when they become blinded by technology? What happens to the behavior of people when they become blinded by genetic manipulation? What happens to the behavior of people when they become blinded by extreme states of polarization (politically, medically, scientifically, religiously, culturally, etc)? What happens to the behavior of people when they become blinded by drama and illusion? What happens to the behavior of people when they become blinded by money and greed? What happens to the behavior of people when they purposely blind themselves through willful ignorance?

When the body and the mind become damaged and/or unbalanced in this way, it blocks the beneficial input from the third part of the Trinity (the Spirit) and it opens the door for other "entities" (in the broadest definition of the term) to influence the mind and body in some pretty significant and often unrecognized ways. The more that this influence becomes unrecognized, the greater that the "possession" becomes.

Darth Vader and the Dark Side

 

Darth Vader can actually be seen as being symbolic of many different entities. For example, he could represent the over-reaching parent (or parental figure), or the corrupted/distorted ego, or the suppressed/unrecognized shadow, or the personal/collective "anti-Christ" (anti-Light, anti-awareness, anti-understanding entity), or the blinded hive/group mind, or the one body/one mind corporate entity, or the one body/one mind government entity, etc.

What do all of these "entities" have in common? They represent unrecognized layers (or overlays) that exist on top of the base layer of organic consciousness and reality (over-shadowing true consciousness and reality).

Is Trump really Darth Vader (please see the previous post)? Or is Darth Vader actually symbolic of the dark entity (overlay) that influences Trump via his blindness and tendency to gravitate towards extreme states of polarization, egotism, ignorance, and arrogance? In this context, it's important to note that egotism and arrogance are completely different than true strength and confidence. The fact that this distinction has become so blurred (and unrecognized) today is just another sign of the growing corruption and distortion in the modern world (and in modern human beings). And on the other side of the isle, which entities, shadow aspects, and/or archetypes do you think that Biden and Harris represent (please see the previous posts on this page for more info)?

Strange Things

 

When Creation becomes unbalanced (both individually and collectively), it will attempt to communicate with us so that we can do what is necessary to try and right things once again. Sometimes this communication can be very gentle and subtle in nature (during periods of minor imbalances), while other times it can be quite direct, harsh, or even scary (during times of greater imbalances).

One of the many ways that Creation communicates with us is by placing various archetypes in front of us as examples and reflections of who we are, what we can become, and what we have been before (both good and bad). These archetypes not only appear to us as different people, but can also appear to us in many other forms as well.

If we choose to ignore these communications from Creation when they occur (or deflect them to others via various acts of transference), then Creation will continue to communicate with us in ever-increasing more extreme ways (situations, experiences, examples, and archetypes) until such time that we begin to see and hear again what we have forgotten (or what we have chosen to keep hidden and buried).

What happens when Creation speaks through us on an individual basis? One of the most important things to remember during these times is that whatever we choose to observe and examine externally, we must also observe and examine internally as well. If we only observe and examine these things externally, then it only serves to strengthen the reflected shadow entity(s) that often exist inside of us as well and provide them with a more favorable home where they can continue to grow, thrive, and influence us (both individually and collectively).

Footnote 1: The internal and the external is just one example of one set of polarities. In a similar way, if we examine the right, then we must also examine the left in the same manner (and vice versa), and if we examine the above, then we must also examine the below in the same manner (and vice versa), and if we examine any one polarity in general, then we must also examine the "opposite" polarity in the same manner.

I Am Your Father
-- Quiz --

10-16-24

 

1) Who claimed to be the Father of the covid vaccine (please see footnote #3 at the bottom of this post)?

2) Who claimed to be the Father of IVF?

3) What type of personality would claim to be the Father of the covid vaccines and IVF? Historically, what types of personalities have been associated with some of the darker periods on this planet?

4) What is the relationship between inflammation, fertility, IVF, covid, and covid vaccines?

5) Who/what wants to control all aspects of life on earth, including the procreation of life, the genetic modification of life, the parenting of life, and the patenting of life? Who/what wants to control the number of people on earth?

6) Which industry has benefited (profited) immensely from covid and will also benefit immensely from IVF? How much money did Pfizer make from the government-sponsored covid vaccines? How much does each cycle of IVF cost on average? How many cycles of IVF does it usually take for a success to occur? What are some of the procedures and screenings that are involved in IVF (see #5 above). What types of situations could IVF lead to in the future?

7) Who fast tracked (at warp speed) the 5G rollout? What other applications can this technology (5G+) be used for that are "off label"?

8) Who/what has drastically reduced the IQ of the general population over the last few decades? What technologies will replace many of these intellectually challenged humans in the very near future? Which company (government contractor) is attempting to lead the way in the development and deployment of AI, robotics, the planetary satellite grid, robo-vehicles, transhumanism, and many similar technologies that, if were rolled out solely by the government or the military, would probably create some obvious red flags? Who is the front man of this company? Who just partnered with Trump? Is this just a coincidence? Or is it actually strategic maneuvering by outside interests?

Influences

What are some of the ways that leaders and representatives can be influenced and/or blackmailed? There are actually many different ways. For example, what if you were facing millions of dollars in legal fees and possible jail time? If someone told you that they could reduce those problems, postpone them, or even eliminate them could that serve as a good incentive to engage in some off-the-books favors during the next four years? I'm not saying that this is what is going on, but it is something that needs to be considered.

Other Considerations

If you take a close look at the cognitive function of US presidents over the last few decades (before, during, and after their terms), I think that you could make a very good case that something really strange (and alarming) is going on. I have actually studied this quite a bit, and the patterns that I have seen emerge point to some type of drugging, poisoning, and/or EMF exposure that is producing these rather rapid and drastic declines in physical and mental health over relatively short periods of time during their tenures as president.

Hater

After reading everything above, I imagine that there will probably be some people that think that I am a Trump hater, a liberal, a Biden/Harris supporter, a leftist, a Deep State agent, or controlled opposition. I am not a Trump hater. Nor am I a Trump lover. And I am certainly not a Biden or Harris supporter. I'm also not controlled opposition or an agent for the Deep State. But I do understand why someone might want to think that...because if you can dismiss the messenger, then you can more easily dismiss the message (without any real consideration or research).
 

Bottom Line

What I've been trying to do throughout this series is to encourage people to look at the bigger picture, think outside of the box, step back from the two-party system, and the polarization, and the drama, and the noise in order to get clearer picture of what is really going on. Look at the layers. Peel back the onion. Look at the patterns. Look at the relationships. Look beyond the current events and the things that are being put out on pubic display each day. Where is it all leading?

Does it really matter who gets into office? Maybe a little. But no matter who gets into office, the same types of policies, the political favors, the back door agreements, the lobbyists, and the money always remain. All presidents, whether they are completely aware of it or not, act in some capacity as puppets for the lobbyists, Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Telecom, Big Agra (and other large corporate interests), the Military Industrial Complex, the Deep State, the Dark State, and the Shadow State (Global State).

The bottom line is that things are going to have to change quite dramatically (internally, externally, above, and below) if there is going to be any kind of lasting positive change in the world. Because, as it stands now, no matter who gets into the White House, the Dark Side always seems to win.

Footnote 1: Just to be clear, I'm not suggesting that Trump (or any other president) is necessarily a knowing or willing participant in everything that they do in that capacity. People can be influenced, blackmailed, fooled, and played in the White House just like anywhere else.

Footnote 2: I am just as concerned with a Harris presidency as I am with a Trump presidency. However, it seems that more people are seeing the warning signs with Harris than with Trump. Also there isn't the same type of religious fervor surrounding Harris as there is with Trump. Historically, what usually happens to an end-stage empire when things begin to quickly and dramatically deteriorate (socially, economically, and morally) coupled with the simultaneous emergence of a religious-like savior figure?

Footnote 3: The Father of the Vaccine and the Father of IVF links are there only as a reference to the Father statements. It is not my intention to promote any political views contained within those links.

Footnote 4: For purposes of clarity and conciseness, I have only included a few links pertaining to inflammation as it relates to covid and covid vaccines. I have actually already covered this topic a number of times before (for example, please see the11-22-20 post on the original Strange Things page). Inflammation related to covid and covid vaccines can present itself in a variety of different ways. It's often systemic in nature, but it can also be localized or concentrated in a particular organ or body system (for example myocarditis). I highly encourage people to do their own research into this phenomena in order to fully understand its implications, not only as it pertains to general health, but also in relation to fertility as well.

The Engine (and the transmission) of Evil
-- Kinks in Drive Train of Human Consciousness --

10-13-24

 

Now hold your horses for just a minute! If humanity is symbolized by the two horses with blinders, and the covered wagon also symbolizes humanity, does that mean that humanity is pulling the wagon? Or is the wagon pushing humanity?

Definitions and Observations:

government -   1. The act or process of governing, especially the control and administration of public policy in a political unit  2. The office, function, or authority of a governing individual or body  3. Exercise of authority in a political unit or rule.  Some have also defined government based on the Latin etymology of the word: gubernare = to direct, control, or rule  AND  Mente = mind  (Mind Control).

corporation -  1. An entity such as a business, municipality, or organization, that involves more than one person but that has met the legal requirements to operate as a single person, so that it may enter into contracts and engage in transactions under its own identity  2. Such a body created for purposes of government  3. A group of people combined into or acting as one body.

oc-cult-ism - the word occult means hidden. And a cult is a religion or religious sect [or any organization that takes on a blinding religious nature] that is usually considered to be extremist or false in its practices with followers acting under the guidance of an authoritarian and/or charismatic leader. Of course there is nothing wrong with following a charismatic leader or living unconventionally. It only becomes potentially harmful when it is done blindly (via deception, manipulation, ignorance, and/or coercion) and it is "governed" by an authoritarian ruler. Ism refers to a distinctive doctrine, theory, or system (in actual practice, this often takes the form of a cult-like belief system). Based on the above, it could be said that many people in the world today actually practice various types oc-cult-ism in their daily lives.

light and dark - light and dark are natural polarities that exist within the natural world. Good and evil, on the other hand, are extensions of these natural polarities that are created by us through the use of freewill (using light, dark and other polarities of choice). Using the "light" of knowledge, awareness, understanding, and freewill in the proper manner can result in good being produced. And using the "light" of knowledge, awareness, understanding, and freewill in an improper manner can result in evil being produced. However, as discussed in the last few posts (and throughout this series), Creation actually has a built-in fail-safe mechanism where evil and suffering can actually serve as catalysts in the creation of more Light in the world (via increased awareness and understanding) which can then subsequently and potentially act as a stimulus for the creation of good (in order to avoid more suffering and evil). We need the light to teach us, just as much as we need the darkness to teach us. However, when we choose to ignore the darkness (via willful ignorance) in the blind pursuit of light (knowledge), this is when the potential for evil is created. And when we ignore the light of One (Creation) in the blind pursuit of one (the blind/corrupted ego), this is also when the potential for evil is created. And when we ignore the light of one (the individual) in the blind pursuit of One (the group), this is also when the potential for evil is created.

ego (mainstream definitions) - 1. The self, especially as distinct from the world and other selves  2. The division of the psyche that is conscious, most immediately controls thought and behavior, and is most in touch with external reality. Think about these definitions for a minute. Are they accurate? For example, is the ego the true self, or is it actually an overlay (layer) that sits on top of the self which helps to define one's self? And does the ego (always) act consciously?

freewill - Is this an imperfect world? Is this a cruel world? Is this a harsh world? It can be. However, without choice and consequence, there can be no opportunity for experience, learning and growth. Would the world be better off without the expression of free creative thought, without free speech, and without the opportunity for free creative action? Would we (as human beings) be better off without individuality? Would Creation be better off without individual creators in it? Freewill is neither good nor evil. It's how we choose to use (or not use) our freewill that creates the potential for good and/or evil in this world.

mask (extended/alternate definition) - a mask is a physical or psychological disguise that the ego uses to hide itself. Thus, in this context, masks can actually help us to hide from our self, hide from others, hide from our actions (and inactions), and hide from true reality. The world is a stage and we are the actors via the masks (make-up and costumes) that we wear. The Maskquerade is the resulting illusion that we live in. There is actually a sad truth contained within the lyrics of the song Masquerade (see below). Many people end up joining the Maskquerade because they don't see any other way to exist (survive) outside of the stage and the system. Yes, there is a price to pay. But we do have a choice. The masquerade is not forever (unless we choose to live our lives from within it).

The Govern-Mente

 

The government is the largest employer in the United States. So what exactly is the government? And since most of the agencies that make up the government are enforcement agencies, what exactly is the Police State?

Government (and the potential Police State) -- Local Police, Sheriffs Department, Highway Patrol, Homeland Security, TSA, FBI, DEA, ATF, ICE, CIA, NSA, FDA, USDA, IRS, FEMA, CDC, Border Patrol, Customs and Border Protection, Federal Protective Services, Federal Air Marshals, Coast Guard, Coast Guard Police, Coast Guard Investigative Services, National Guard, Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Federal Bureau of Prisons, Bureau of Diplomatic Security, Department of Commerce, Secret Service, Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigations Division, Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, Office of the Inspector General, Department of Justice, Attorney General, Diplomatic Security Service, U.S. Forest Service Law Enforcement and Investigations, Bureau of Land Management Office of Law Enforcement & Security, National Park Service, National Park Rangers, United States Park Police, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Office of Law Enforcement, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries Office for Law Enforcement, Central Intelligence Agency Security Protective Service, Federal Reserve Police, Library of Congress Police, National Security Agency Police, Smithsonian National Zoological Park Police, United States Capitol Police, United States Postal Inspection Service, United States Probation Service, United States Supreme Court Police, United States Mint Police, US Secret Service Uniformed Division, Defense Criminal Investigative Service, Pentagon Force Protection Agency, Bureau of Firearms - Special Agents, Bureau of Forensic Services, Bureau of Gambling Control, Bureau of Investigation and Intelligence, Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement, Bureau of Medi-Cal Fraud & Elder Abuse, Bureau of Medi-Cal Fraud & Elder Abuse, Department of Mental Health, State Hospital Police Officers, Department of Fish and Game, Game Wardens, State Park Rangers, State Park Rangers, Department of Insurance, Department of Insurance, State Tax Board, Lottery Security and Law Enforcement Division, Department of Consumer Affairs, Division of Investigation, Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, Department of Health Care Services, Local College/University Police, Local School District Police, Airport Police, Harbor Police, Port Police, Railway Police, Private Security Guards, Private Security Forces, Private Prison Guards, Corporate Police, Veterans Affairs Police, Security Cameras, Drones, Body Scanners, Web/phone Wire Tapping, Facial Recognition, DNA Collection...and so on (in an ever-expanding list of government and other enforcement "entities"). And that doesn't even include all of the international agencies that are increasingly dictating the policies of once sovereign nations.

Technology and Technocracy

Is this an image of the future? Or is it actually an image of the present and the past?
 

How many people are employed by Big Tech? And how many people willingly buy and use various systems and devices that surveil them, influence them, and collect data from them (or have the ability to do so)?

The Surveillance State has evolved into a huge machine with enormous reach. But where did those systems come from? Who built them? And who runs them (for now)?  Who services them? And who is building AI? Who is building the robots of the future? And who is supporting those that are building the robots of the future, building AI, building the satellite surveillance and control grid, and building/deploying the other transhuman tech of today? Who is developing, distributing, and taking credit for the high-tech "vaccines" and the other life-altering and life-threatening biotech of today?

Of course these are rhetorical questions with some pretty obvious (but often neglected) answers. One person didn't do this, or even a small group of people. These things may have been conceived and initiated by a few people, but they were created and rolled out (and often accepted) with the help and consent of the much of the general population.

It seems that we are doing a pretty good job at controlling ourselves right now (via willful forgetfulness, un-recognition, non-discernment, polarization, unaccountability, support for our own enslavement, etc). This could change relatively quickly if we really wanted it to. However, what happens when AI and robots become more prevalent in society and technocracy rules the world? How easy will it be then to try and return to some sort of sanity and/or try and reason with a robot or AI? How easy is it to try and reason with a highly programmed and controlled (robotic) person today? Just to be clear, when I refer to highly programmed, controlled, and robotic people I am not referring only to the left or to the right, or to the liberals or the conservatives, or to the republicans or the democrats, or to the religious or the non-religious, to Trump, Biden, or Harris or any other one person that acts and "thinks" in manner that blinds them to the greater reality that exists outside of their chosen group, tribe, religion, party, belief system, or savior. In other words, this phenomena does not exist solely in only one person, side , or group. It exists in all of us (to some degree or another). To think that any one person is completely immune to this issue is actually what perpetuates the problem.

Drivers of Reality

 

What are some of the things that drive perception, perspective, behavior, and reality?
 

Peer Consensus/Peer Pressure - Peer pressure is one of the most effective behavior modifying mechanisms used in social control. Fear of what others think of us rules much of our behavior patterns. Peer pressure, in effect, is the sheepdog of the flock. In many social circles and/or group associations, conformity rules while black sheep are often isolated from the flock. In other words, those that support the hive are usually rewarded with membership perks (and acceptance), while those with dissenting opinions are often punished, banned, and shunned. It's a powerful herding mechanism that creates collective thought patterns and ideals that support the agendas of the few at the expense of the individuals contained within the whole of society.
 

Money - Money makes the world go round. The archons (rulers) would like us to believe that the whole purpose of this existence is to make as much money as possible so that we can buy as many things as possible. There is nothing wrong with wants and needs. However, too much "accumulation", when done in an unconscious manner, can work to weigh us down like an anchor and keep us forever tied to the system via debt and immobility.

The necessity and the need for money also keeps us quiet. People, families, homes and cars all require money. We have been conditioned (by example) that speaking out or standing up isn't always compatible with the accumulation of money. In the workplace, being a "team player" and conforming to the corporate 'cult'ure is usually associated with moving up the ladder. Those that step outside of the hive (speak out/stand up/or criticize corporate policy) are less likely to be considered for promotions or tenured positions and are more likely to be laid off or let go during hard economic times.  

Therefore, in this ever-increasing fragile economic climate, the fear of losing a job often takes precedence over ethical considerations in government, industry, medicine, pharma, police, military, media, and other professions. The system rules over us because we support it in order to survive. And while we support the system, we are producing the very same products and services that are controlling us and killing us (GMOs, toxic pharmaceuticals, fraudulent medical practices, the police state/military industrial complex, bloated government administration, mainstream media, chemicals (fluoride, pesticides, etc). As economic woes continue and unemployment rises, the need for conformity in the workplace also increases in order to ensure job security.  

Responsibility (another play on peer-pressure and social acceptance) - this is just one word, among many, that has been heavily weaponized in modern times. As a result of this, true responsibility has effectively been over-shadowed and replaced by harmful "responsibility". For example, the system often associates responsibility with:

• Going to college to earn a degree in a socially acceptable/desirable field that promises to offer the best opportunity for wealth and material accumulation, while simultaneously shackling us to a system of debt servitude and detouring us from our true passions and path in life. Those who choose to follow their heart, their passion, and a more creative path in life are often chastised by the mainstream for not being responsible or having a "real" job.

• Vaccinating young children (and adults) with highly dangerous substances that actually cause disease and immune dysfunction in order to protect them from questionable disease threats. If parents fail to comply with the forced drugging of their children (or adults fail to comply with the drugging of themselves) they are sometimes deemed "irresponsible" and subjected to punishment (banishment) from other members of society.

• Treating disease or cancer with highly toxic and profitable drugs (that actually cause disease) instead approaching the issue with highly effective (non-toxic) treatments such as eating the right foods, juicing, herbs, contemplation/meditation, talking (truly expressing oneself), examining possible problems within our living environment, and looking at the energy distribution of the body (the human body is a bio-electrical machine that runs best when it is "tuned" or balanced correctly). Refusing the "accepted" treatments in favor of natural non-toxic treatments is often viewed as being "irresponsible" by the mainstream medical community and by other segments of society. Children are increasingly being forced to comply with state mandated policies regarding "acceptable" medical treatment…against their will and against the better judgment of their parents.

• Following the rules. Be a good patriot (shut your mouth and blindly support your leader), accept the world as it is (as it destroys itself), don't protest against destructive government/corporate/state policies (don't be a radical), don't spread "misinformation" (information that exists outside of the official narrative), do not express concern for the environment (don't be a job killer, a Karen, or woke), don't say anything that might rock the boat (or you will become a social outcast), and most importantly always conform to the "will" of the collective and stay within the boundaries of the system (don't express yourself with different or unique views of the world)

• Etc. (see links below for more info)
   

On Behalf Of - During my travels in this lifetime, I have come across very few truly evil people in the world (in relation to the whole). However, what I have seen, and continue to see, are many acts of evil committed on behalf of various potentially evil entities (corporations, organizations, government, military, religion, mis-guided leaders, self-proclaimed gods, sociopaths, psychopaths, etc).

As I have attempted to illustrate many times throughout this series, evil cannot exist (in the greater environment) unless it has sufficient people that are willing to support evil practices. Feed the good, and we live in a world of peace and harmony. Feed the evil, and we exist in a world of disharmony, pain and suffering. Honor the gift (and the proper use) of freewill, and we live in true freedom. Forfeit the gift (and the proper use) of freewill, and we live in a world of visible and hidden slavery. It really is that simple.

Who is at fault? Tyrannical governments? Evil organizations? Morally deficient multinationals? Corrupt corporations? Greedy insurance companies? Why are these things called "entities" (as if they were something separate from the people)? It is because the corrupted/blinded ego loves to hide behind masks and disguises. How many people work for the government as "administrators" in support of its practices? How many people work for the corrupt medical system and its subsidiaries for a paycheck? How many people work for the police, the military and other "enforcement" agencies? How many people work for the system (as "agents" for the system)?

Corruption usually begins with just a few individuals. However, it almost always ends (usually quite badly) with the participation and the support of the general population.

Give the People What They Want

What do the people actually want? Based on what we have seen in the past, and what we see happening right now, I think that this is a valid question that deserves some deeper thought, examination, and conversation. People will often say one thing, but then act and react (through action, reaction, and inaction) in ways that are completely contrary to what they say they want.

Limelight

Maskquerade

Freewill

There are those who think that life has nothing left to chance
A host of holy horrors to direct our aimless dance

A planet of playthings, we dance on the strings of powers we cannot perceive
The stars aren't aligned or the gods are malign, blame is better to give than receive

You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that's clear, I will choose Freewill

There are those who think that they were dealt a losing hand
The cards were stacked against them they weren't born in Lotus Land

All preordained, a prisoner in chains, a victim of venomous fate
Kicked in the face, you can pray for a place, in heaven's unearthly estate

You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that's clear, I will choose Freewill

Each of us, a cell of awareness, imperfect and incomplete
Genetic blends with uncertain ends on a fortune hunt that's far too fleet

You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that's clear, I will choose Freewill
 

Two Hearts Beat as One

What happens when two hearts beat as one? In some cases, really good things can happen (when this occurs with eyes wide open). However, in other cases, really bad things can happen (when this occurs with eyes wide shut). As such, perhaps it is a good idea to be careful and conscious with whom (and what) we give our hearts and minds to (leaders, groups, politicians, political parties, religions, governments, organizations, celebrities, people, technology, etc).

Footnote 1: Contrary to some belief systems, this life is not about achieving some type of perfection. Rather, it is about gaining greater awareness, understanding, and consciousness through knowledge, experience, freewill, recognition, and remembering. We are all human beings (well, mostly). Everybody has made mistakes at some point in their life and has probably been programmed and influenced in various ways that are unknown to them. Real mistakes (in contrast to true intentions disguised as mistakes) are not the problem. In fact, mistakes can often be gifts in disguise that present many excellent opportunities for learning and growth. And programming is not necessarily as bad as it may seem. Although it can be detrimental at times, with the right awareness and understanding, people can actually learn to deprogram themselves and can also help to deprogram others. So what is the problem? It is willful ignorance of the true origin of the real problem that is the main issue. And it is willful non-recognition of why the same problems appear over and over again throughout history and never really seem to go away. There is an old Native American saying that goes something like this: You cannot wake someone up that is pretending to be asleep. There is nothing wrong with calling out the people, governments, corporations, groups and agencies for their corruption, vampirism, manipulation, coercion, and control. However, there is something wrong with calling them out without further examination and acknowledgement of who makes up those organizations, who supports those organizations, who voted for those people/organizations, and who helps to finance those organizations.

Footnote 2: Technology is not evil by itself. Like anything else, it depends on how it is being utilized (i.e. is it being used in a conscious manner, a partially conscious manner, or an unconscious manner?).

 

White Pill, Black Pill

9-28-24

Definition:

Red Pill and Blue Pill  - The red pill and blue pill are metaphorical terms representing a choice between learning an unsettling or life-changing truth by taking the red pill, or remaining in the contented experience of ordinary [and illusory] "reality" by taking the blue pill. The pills were used as props in the 1999 film The Matrix (Wikipedia).

White Pills and Black Pills

Black Pills represent extreme (highly polarized) states of Red Pills. Being "Black Pilled" means that you have been "pegged" to the outer-most edge of the dark polarity and have lost sight of other aspects of the light and dark polarities (often seen in various parts of the Alternative Media today).

White Pills represent extreme (highly polarized) states of Blue Pills. Being "White Pilled" means that you have been "pegged" to the outer-most edge of the light polarity and have lost sight of other aspects of the light and dark polarities (often seen in various parts of what used to be called the New Age).

Both of these pills can act as poison pills, and both of these pills can act as curative pills.

Elements of the Black Pill - Human nature is flawed, humans are only capable of death and destruction, this world is a prison (not a potential university), we are owned and there is nothing that we can do about it, we are slaves and there is no escape from the plantation, there is no freewill, the system is too big to fight, we are on the (never-ending) verge of nuclear war, our destruction is immanent, there are unseen entities that control us and there is no way to fight what you cannot see, this reality is a simulation/matrix and there is no escape from it, reincarnation is a trap and we are doomed to reincarnate over and over again onto this Prison Planet, there is nothing to be learned here, karma doesn't exist, unity is collectivism and individualism is key (not the proper utilization of both individuality and unity), etc

Elements of the White Pill - Everything is love and light, there is no such thing as evil, we signed a contract when we (re)incarnated onto Earth to experience this reality (therefore, all is as it should be and we shouldn't try to change it), you should refrain from talking about anything dark because if you do you will become part of the darkness, meditation is the key to ascension (not right action or learning from your experiences), the gods and spirit guides and gurus (or whatever authority that you blindly give your power away to) will get us out of this mess, if it is something that comes from within you then it is always right, light is right and dark is wrong, acknowledging darkness or the potential for evil inside of you will screw up your ascension process, individualism is selfishness and unity is key (not the proper utilization of both individuality and unity), etc.

Poison Pills or Curative Pills?

 

Within the Black Pill there are also solutions. If we learn to clearly see the chains that potentially bind us, then the key(s) to unlocking those chains can be found within the awareness and understanding of those chains. When we learn to see and understand the real darkness and evil in this world, then we have an opportunity to properly address it. However, when we are blinded to the darkness and evil in this world, then the opportunity to adequately address it is diminished or eliminated.

Within the White Pill there are also solutions as well. Not everything contained within the White Pill is toxic. There are also elements of truth mixed in with elements of distraction, distortion, and corruption. When we can clearly see the BS (distraction, distortion, and corruption) and can discern the difference between the True Light and the false light, then we have an opportunity to properly address the BS. However, when we are blinded by the "Light", the opportunity to adequately address the BS in our environment is diminished or eliminated.

Whether White Pills or Black Pills become poison pills or curative pills depends on how the elements of each pill are presented, how they are viewed, and how they are utilized. However, If either pill is to become curative in its nature, one must learn to become mobile in their thinking, analysis, and actions and not remain permanently "pegged" to any one position within a polarity (or to any one polarity in general).

The Full-Spectrum Pill

What is the Full-Spectrum Pill? The Full-Spectrum Pill is a pill that splits True Light into all of its components so that they can be clearly seen and understood (not only the different components that make up the light and the dark, but also the "colors" that are derived from the light and the dark via the proper and improper use of freewill).

Extreme Polarization

 

In the illustration above, light and dark, right and left, inner and outer, and above and below are actually interchangeable. In other words, neither polarity is representative of the light or the dark. Rather, within each pair of polarities, exists the potential for awareness, understanding, ignorance, and blindness to occur.

It's also important to note that finding your way to the equilibrium (middle) point does not always result in True Light being seen or realized (Awareness and Understanding). It can also result in (or evolve into) a state of blindness as well. This happens when one loses sight of the polarities on each side of the equilibrium point via comfort, bliss, apathy, illusion, delusion, indifference, indecision, complacency, detachment, boredom, passivity, stagnation, etc. Thus, proper "movement" (depending upon the specific situation and the specific point in time during each cycle) is key to achieving lasting sight through consistent Awareness and Understanding.

Radicalization and Evil

 

Highly polarized states of being are analogous to radicalization and fragmentation. The more polarized that something becomes, the more difficult it is to see and understand the other polarity (and the whole). This results in ever-increasing states of blindness (and externalization) which encourages constant finger pointing to everyone and everything that exists outside of oneself and outside of one's polarized state of being.
 

 

Throughout history, many teachers such as Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, and others have tried to show us the dangers of becoming too fragmented (polarized), detached, and separated from One (Creation).

When polarization and blindness become very pronounced, they can act as a petri-dish (growth medium) for the corruption of natural polarities. In other words, this is how the natural polarities of light and dark, above and below, inner and outer, and right and left end up morphing into various states of "darkness" which can then evolve into the ultimate form of darkness, distortion, and corruption known as evil.

Once You See it, You Can't Un-See It

 

"Once you see it, you can't un-see it". Is this a true statement? Like most things, this is not an all-encompassing or universal statement. It can be true in some instances and false in others. I have seen many people learn some very important lessons, only to forget them as time goes on. A good example of this occurs every Election Season. But it also occurs during other times as well. Every day we are bombarded with noise, drama, illusion, distractions, minor/major events, junk, White Pills, and Black Pills which can work to over-shadow and obscure the things that we have previously seen and learned. As a result, what was previously known to us often begins to fade away as it is replaced with the latest thing.

Thus, to keep something important within our sight, one should employ ongoing diligence and continuous attention towards the preservation of the awareness and understanding of that thing. This will help to counter the constant noise which is designed to distract us from our previous learnings, lessons, and revelations (from this life, and from other lives).
 

Presentation, Perception, and Utilization

Proper utilization and synergy between different polarities and elements is sometimes illustrated as the Third Way, the Capstone, the Crown, the All-Seeing-Eye, Illumination, the Fifth Element, and so on. It's important to note that all of these illustrations, like others, can be distorted and corrupted in such a way as to hide their true (or original) meaning and understanding.
 

Conclusion

When polarization becomes too great (in either polarity), blindness can occur which often results in greater darkness and suffering. Greater darkness and suffering, in turn, encourages greater sight in order to avoid more darkness and suffering. Similarly, when stagnation happens at the Point of Equilibrium, blindness may also occur which can lead to greater darkness and suffering as well. Greater darkness and suffering due to stagnation helps to encourage movement away from the center in order to experience different polarized states which then helps to stimulate proper sight once again. The more fixated that something becomes in a highly polarized state, the more unstable it becomes and the more that it is drawn back to a point of stabilization. However, counter-intuitively, stabilization is not achieved via a fixed state, but rather through proper movement.
 

 

What is the best way to achieve Greater Consciousness (and to avoid lower consciousness and/or the stagnation of consciousness)? Is this best achieved though the use of analogy, metaphor, subtleness, directness, humor, serious discussion, profanity, art, passion, polarization, BS, fear, suffering, stagnation, trust, chaos, acceptance, excitement, anger, caution, patience, defeat, mistrust, grief, knowledge, goodness, fascination, silliness, perseverance, calmness, innovation, loathing, creation, kindness, shame, joy, arrogance, freedom, confidence, peace, destruction, addiction, grounding, obedience, consideration, doubt, loftiness, contentment, victory, badness, shyness, stubbornness, restriction, understanding, rejection, sympathy, urgency, honesty, impatience, hope, greed, distraction, slavery, compassion, spite, vigilance, guilt, awareness, aggression, sadness, curiosity, beauty, submissiveness, neglect, humbleness, conflict, war, empathy, despair, tolerance, restlessness, wisdom, generosity, apathy, love, hatred, or happiness?

The answer is yes...to all of the above. However, MUST it be achieved and maintained through constant exposure to ALL of the above? Not, necessarily. If a true state of Awareness and Understanding (clarity) can be reached and maintained, then one can learn to avoid some of the more unpleasant and (potentially) destructive experiences and stimuli which occur while traveling along the ever-evolving path to Higher Consciousness.

The conscious mind and the unconscious mind are powerful things. How we view our reality is part of how it is created and maintained (both internally and externally).
 

Footnote 1: George Carlin was a very skilled observer and communicator. I think that he realized early on in his career that you often have to use a variety of different communication methods in order to try and reach people effectively. Although I don't find the material from him (in the last post) offensive or defeating, I understand that there are some people that might view it that way. Clearly, there were times in his career that he became perhaps a bit over-cynical. But that is just something that comes with the territory (in the expansion of awareness and understanding). In this series, I have done my best to try and be respectful and non-offensive to others. However, sometimes you have to use every tool that is available to you (within reason) to try and reach people. Unfortunately, that means that some people are going to get offended along the way. I have taken a great deal of time to try and communicate things in an inspiring manner (rather than a defeating manner). However, ultimately different people are going to view the material in this series in different ways (because people are different). Thank goodness there are still some unique and different people in this world.

Footnote 2: When I post a link to a song, video, or piece of music, I don't review everything that that particular person or group has ever said or done. If I think that a video or article contains useful information, then I will include it. That doesn't mean that everything that has been said or done by that person is representative of my own personal views. Some people may find value in those links, and others may not. Again, I am glad that there are still some independent minds left in this world (if in fact those minds are acting with true independence and not acting from programming, fear, or conformity).

Intermission
-- Public Service Announcement --

9-26-24

We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming in order to bring you the following Public Service Announcement:

 

Voting Day

New and Improved voting utensil!
 

November 5th is Selection Day. Don't forget to set aside some time on this important day to vote for your favorite puppet! As discussed in a previous post on 7-28-23, the ACWEF (American Chapter of the World Economic Forum) has developed a new voting system for this Selection Cycle. To better serve the public, the ACWEF has listened to user feedback and improved the prototype voting utensil and made it much easier to use. From the information that I received, it is my understanding that they decided to follow the classic two-pronged approach. As a result of this, the new and improved voting utensil now only has two prongs instead of four!  

 

Garbage Collection

Crowded houses and cluttered spaces.
 

In an effort to address the widespread proliferation of garbage occurring in our local neighborhoods (garbage in/garbage out), many cities throughout the US are now offering garbage pickup three days a week instead of just one. Remember that when the inside and the outside of your house becomes too crowded and cluttered with junk, it can inhibit your movement (both physically and mentally) and make it very difficult to see and find the things that you are actually looking for. Some places to check for excessive junk in your house include the attic, basement, closets, under the beds, and in the front and back yards.

 

Environmental Pollution

 

Pollution in the environment is a serious issue today, especially in relation to the pollution of young minds. Please help us to protect the environment and the endangered species on this planet (such as fully-functional human beings) by limiting the number of political ads that can appear on TV, by requiring mandatory pollution danger warnings before the airing of the nightly news (actually, I guess this is already happening...thank you Pfizer), and perhaps most importantly, please help us to bring attention to (and stop) one of the most horrific and prolific polluters of our environment -- the Public Education System.

Inside Out

9-24-24

What are some of the things that become visible when a shirt is worn inside out...the seams and the stitches that give the shirt its external appearance and the hidden "tags" that are rarely seen on the inside.

In the last post, I included a short clip from the movie The Karate Kid. In that clip, Daniel was reluctant to "trim the tree" for fear of messing up. As a result of this, Mr. Miyagi encouraged Daniel to first internally visualize how the tree should look, and then bring that vision out into the physical world by trimming and shaping the tree until it fit the image which he had visualized internally. Daniel did as Mr. Miyagi suggested, however before starting, he hesitated and contemplated for a moment and then asked Mr. Miyagi, "how do I know if my picture is the right one?" Mr. Miyagi replied, "if it comes from inside you, then it is always the right one".

Is this a true statement? And does this statement apply to all people and to all situations?

True Essence or Make-Up?

Contained within us is the true essence of who we are. A portion of this essence is "universal" in its nature and originates from the original One (Creator/Creation). However, there is also part of this essence that is unique to each one of us as well which is sometimes referred to as the soul. But that isn't all that we are composed of. We are also a product of our environment as well. This part of us consists of what our parents taught us (and what was taught to our parents), what we learn from our formal "schooling", what we learn from our informal schooling (life experiences), where we live, which religion we follow (if any), what friends we have, which groups we belong to, which political party affiliations that we have, what we watch on TV, what social media sites we visit, which "news" networks we watch, which celebrities we like, which leaders we follow, etc.

The information that we receive each day is taken into us and becomes part of who we are (whether we are consciously aware of it or not). Some of this may be beneficial information (or potentially beneficial information) and some of it may be harmful information (or potentially harmful information).

When we bring something forth from within us, is it actually our true essence or is it programming? Or is it a combination of many different things? It's often difficult to tell. Therefore, is it wise to automatically consider something as being "right" simply because it came from within us?

True
(with some caveats)

 

I think that the statement made by Mr. Miyagi is mostly true, but it could also be potentially problematic or false in some cases as well. It's one of those sayings that sounds really good on the surface and is mostly true from a purist point of view, but one that can also be very problematic in this increasingly impure, manipulated, inverted, and programmed world that we live in today. This is a good example of why it is always prudent to go one step further (or more) in your thinking and analysis rather than just accept something at face value because it sounds good.

Pictures of You

 

What if the picture that Daniel saw in his mind was one of starkness which led him to cut off all of the leaves of the tree so that only the trunk and a few branches remained? And what if the tree ended up dying because of this? Would that still be considered a good picture and a right vision?

When there are pictures that want to come forth from the internal out into the external, there is usually a very good reason for it. However, perhaps it is wise to be careful in how those pictures end up getting expressed.

You Got Soul!

Sometimes what is written on the inside,
defines what is on the outside.
And sometimes what is written on the outside,
defines what is on the inside.

When a person comes into contact with a piece of artwork (painting, sculpture, movie, play, music, or some other type of artistic expression) and it really affects them deeply, what do they often say? That thing has soul! Or that thing really moved me! Or that thing really stirred something deep within me! Actually, it's not that uncommon for music, film, and other forms of art to move people in profound ways. However, I would suggest for that to occur in an organic manner, the art form must be brought forth from deep within a person and have true emotion and "soul" that is attached to it. I think this is when art really "speaks" to us and "moves" us (which often leads to even more art being created which then brings forth additional stirrings, movings, and shapings in others).

Properly expressing the internal can not only be cathartic and therapeutic for oneself, but it can also help to do similar things for others as well. Suppressing the internal (or expressing it improperly) cannot only be harmful to oneself, but it can also result in similar things occurring in the external world as well.

What in the World?

 

Sometimes the things that inspire us and affect us the most (and drive us towards Greater Awareness and Understanding) are not the things that come from contentment, calmness, and beauty. Rather, they are the things that come from struggle, chaos, and adversity. Why is that?

The Dis-ease and the Cure

Cycles, relationships, and self-correcting mechanisms.
 

What is the cure for an unconscious mind (and/or the stagnation of consciousness)? Is it darkness, chaos, and suffering? If it is, does it need to be? And what is the cure for darkness, chaos, and suffering? Is it Greater Consciousness? What if darkness, chaos, and suffering only need to come into play (as a catalyst in developing Greater Consciousness) when blindness and apathy begin to overshadow the conscious mind in a significant way. If this is true, then the dis-ease is actually part of the cure, and the cure is potentially part of the dis-ease.

Music

True

Funny how it seems
Always in time
But never in line for dreams
Head over heals when toe to toe

What do the people really want? Personally, I think

Play That Funky Music

I tried to understand this
I thought that they were out of their minds
How could I be so foolish? How could I?
To not see I was the one behind

So still I kept on fighting
Well, losing every step of the way (what did you do?)
I said I must go back there, I got to go back
And check to see if things still the same...

Now first it wasn't easy
Changin' rock and roll and minds
And things were gettin' shaky
I thought I'd have to leave it behind

But now it's so much better (it's so much better)
I'm funkin' out in ev-er-ay way
But I'll never lose that feelin" (no I won't)
Of how I learned my lesson that day

Inside the tree exists the vascular and skeletal system which gives the tree its appearance and strength. Outside the tree are the elements that make the vascular and skeletal system possible (earth, air, water, fire, and aether).

When the elements that the tree consumes and/or the environment that the tree lives in becomes corrupted or out of balance, various diseases can occur internally and externally such as Root Rot, Leaf Spot Disease, Canker, Rust, Blight, Wilt, and many others.

A healthy tree is not only beneficial to itself, but it is also beneficial to the environment that surrounds it by producing shade, shelter, oxygen, healthy fruit, beauty, erosion protection, etc.

Above and Below and Inside and Outside

What happens when one (or One) only looks above for the answers (celebrities, gods, governments, gurus, politicians, etc)?
 

When the higher, lower, and surface levels are combined together in the proper manner, the synergy that is created has the potential to result in Higher Consciousness. Thus, True Awareness and Understanding (True Light) is not a function of only that which exists above (how it is commonly portrayed), but rather it is a combination of that which exists Above AND Below and Inside AND Outside.

Bonus Material for Fans of the Original Star Trek Series

 

When I was a kid I always enjoyed watching reruns of the original Star Trek series, The Twilight Zone, and The Outer Limits. Part of this was because I was drawn to "science fiction" (much of which is science fact now), and part of it was because these series, in particular, always seemed to offer an important message that existed "just below the surface" of the main storyline.

The following episodes deal with themes of duality, polarity, separation, fragmentation, integration, individuation, mirror images ("parallel universes"), and divide and conquer strategies. These themes are not only related to the last two posts, but also to the entire Strange Things Series as well.

The Enemy Within (Season 1, Episode 5)

Let That Be Your Last Battlefield (Season 3, Episode 15)

Mirror, Mirror (Season 2, Episode 4)

The Alternative Factor (Season 1, Episode 27)

Day of the Dove (Season 3, Episode 7)

The Doomsday Machine (Season 2, Episode 6) - What happens when a natural organic race of beings progressively develops more and more advanced technology and weapons systems without a corresponding advancement in consciousness? Eventually it will be only the doomsday machines that remain (AI, robots, technological consciousness corralling systems/devices, data collection systems, virtual reality, transhumans, GMOs, The Matrix, etc). What is the real doomsday machine today? Is it nuclear bombs? Or is it the technology that is slowly consuming us?

A Multi-Verse of Knowledge, Awareness, and Understanding

Nature has much to offer us in terms of knowledge, awareness, and understanding. But so do people. And, perhaps surprisingly, so do dogs. I'm constantly amazed at how much I learn when I am out walking with Cali. There are so many concepts and images that enter into my mind when we are walking, inspired by not only the isolation in nature, but also by the people and the other dogs that we encounter as we walk along various paths.
 

Much can be learned from the light.

 

And much can be learned from the dark.

 

However, True Light can only be seen and realized
when one comes to the awareness and
understanding that all things contain both
light and the dark withinthem. The clues
to this realization actually exist
 all around us.
 

Why do so many people seem to fall into the same type of darkness over and over again throughout the ages? And why do so many people seem to be drawn to the false "Light" again and again? And why can't people seem to recognize it when they are in a cult, or when they are exhibiting cult-like behaviors, or when they are blindly following a Cult of Personality (savior figure)? 

Are there important things that others are intentionally hiding from us? Are there important things that we are intentionally hiding from ourselves? Why do these things get hidden from us? And what can we learn from ourselves, from those that came before us, and those that are around us right now in relation to what is being hidden from us and the behaviors that contribute to this ongoing game of hide and seek?
 

Is this the True Light? Or, is it simply attractive,
familiar, easy, comfortable, bias-confirming,
and/or tribal/group conforming and
supporting "Light"? 

 

Be careful of which "Light" that you are attracted to.

With the wind as you fly away
Give a smile from your lips and say
"I am free. Yes, I'm free. Now, I'm on my way"

Two Dogs

When should we listen, when should we talk, and when should we respond? When should we be one (act independently) and when should be One (unite)? When should we stand our ground, when should we fight, when should we flee, and when should we contemplate and/or reconsider? These are the questions that we face from minute to minute, hour to hour, day to day, week to week, month to month, year to year, and cycle to cycle.

The answer to the questions above can actually be summed up in the following way:

"A Native American elder once described his own inner struggles in this manner: 'Inside of me there are two dogs. One of the dogs is mean and evil. The other dog is good. The mean dog fights the good dog all of the time. When asked which dog wins, he reflected for a moment and replied, 'The one I feed the most'." -- GBH

It may seem counterintuitive, but when we ignore the darkness within us, we help to feed it and allow it to grow and become stronger without our knowledge. However, when we become preoccupied with the darkness, this can also help it to grow and become stronger. So what is the answer? Check out the links below for some clues to solving this apparent paradox.

Alternative Energy Systems

 

Poo-Poo and Pee-Pee

 

On the Green Energy side, you will often see stories and viewpoints that poo-poo and pee-pee on conventional energy technologies without doing a proper examination and analysis of the true benefits and drawbacks of each type of energy production system (both conventional and alternative). And on the Conventional Energy side, you will often see stories and viewpoints that poo-poo and pee-pee on alternative energy technologies without doing a proper examination and analysis of the true benefits and drawbacks of each type of energy production system (both alternative and conventional).

When this type of situation occurs, it can result in very misleading information because the conclusions that are drawn are often based on a limited amount of data which has been cherry-picked in order to confirm personal biases or conform to existing beliefs, rather than to arrive at a conclusion that is based on proper examination, proper analysis, proper discernment, and proper differentiation (comparative analysis).

Energy Independence

 

Wouldn't it be nice to be free from energy bills forever? You could be with an off-grid solar system (or a combination of solar and other alternative energy technologies). Or how would you like to have significantly lower energy bills each month? It's possible with a grid-tied solar system.

But what are the real costs, benefits, and drawbacks of such systems? These are the questions that should be asked and addressed before committing to an alternative energy system (or before prematurely dismissing alternative energy systems). Some questions that should be asked, include:

How will it be paid for? -- What are your energy needs and requirements? How much do you want to spend? Will you use cash, or will it be financed with a loan? What kind of terms are available for a loan of this type? What tax incentives are available when investing in such a system? What are the short-term costs vs. the long-term benefits? What are your energy costs now, and do you see them increasing or decreasing in the future? What type of net-metering (energy credit) policies are offered by your local utility, and in what way can they be modified in the future by the utility company (for grid-tied systems)? If you invested your money elsewhere, would you get a better return on that investment, or would you get a better return with a solar investment (financially, environmentally, and consciously)?

Grid-Tied or Off Grid? -- Do you want the convenience of a grid-tied system (and its associated benefits and drawbacks)? Or do you want the independence and freedom of an off-grid system (and its associated benefits and drawbacks)? Can you have a grid-tied or an off-grid system in your particular location? Some states actually discourage or even outlaw off-grid systems. And in other cases, depending on your location, you may not be able to tie into the grid.

Batteries or No Batteries -- Incorporating a battery bank into your grid-tied system will increase its cost (sometimes quite significantly). However, it will also provide power to your residence should the grid go down. In addition, it will give you the capability to draw power from your battery system at night and during peak hours, and, in some cases, it will enable the utility company to draw power from your battery system as well (which could provide additional income or credits to offset the initial cost of the battery system). For off-grid systems, a battery bank is a necessity. However, for grid-tied systems, a battery system may or may not make sense depending on your particular location and application.

Environmental Considerations, Benefits, and Drawbacks -- What are the real environmental benefits and drawbacks of such systems? Is a solar, wind, or hydro system appropriate for your particular location? For example, how much sun and wind do you receive at your location on an annual basis? Which direction does your roof face? Are there any trees or other objects that might shade your roof during the day? If you are considering wind or hydro, what type of social or environmental impact will these systems have at your location?

Other Considerations -- What type of solar panels will be installed? What is the warranty on the panels? What type of battery system (if any) will be installed and what is the rating and warranty on the batteries? Who will install the system and what is their history? What type of warranty do the installers provide on their work? What will your estimated savings be per year on utility bills?

For some people, alternative energy systems can represent the majority, or even the entirety, of their electrical energy needs. In my case, solar systems have accounted for more than 95% of my electrical needs for almost 15 years. For other people, such systems might not be realistic or even feasible (depending on their particular application and location). However, if it makes sense in your situation, it can be a very rewarding investment on many different levels.
 

Emotional Images and Dramatic Headlines

Do you think that the petroleum industry might have something to say about alternative energy industries and technologies?
 

Electric Car Fires -- How many electric car fires are there vs. conventional car fires (standardized per 100,000 vehicles of each type)? I spent quite a bit of time looking for some good statistics on the matter. The statistic that seemed to be referenced the most came from AutoinsuranceEZ. According to them, hybrids are the most likely to catch on fire, gasoline and diesel cars are the second most likely to catch on fire, and electric cars are the least likely to catch on fire. However, when I looked for additional statistics on the subject to try and confirm those numbers, I came across this article which just helps to underline the fact that it can be very difficult to find reliable and consistent statistics, not only on this subject, but also on many others as well. One thing is for sure though -- all car fires can be dangerous. But fires in hybrids and electric vehicles (EVs) are particularly dangerous due to their lithium-ion batteries which can cause these cars to burn hotter and longer than traditional car fires. Fires in hybrids and EVs can also spontaneously reignite even after they have been put out. How often do these cars really catch on fire compared to other cars? And how much of this is hype, propaganda, and/or headline grabbers? As stated previously, it's difficult to accurately assess. However, perhaps another thing that you might want to consider is this: How common were fires in cars in the past vs. now? Has technology and safety improved in gasoline and diesel cars over time? Will hybrid and electric car safety improve over time with new battery technologies and other technologies?

Bird Deaths -- How many bird deaths are caused by wind turbines? And how many bird deaths are caused by oil spills, oil refining, improper oil disposal, oil exploration, pollution, etc? What is the impact of wind turbines and conventional power production on other wildlife (not just birds)? And what is the impact of wind turbines and conventional power production on human life? Unfortunately, free energy without any negative social or environmental consequences hasn't been released to the general public yet. Therefore, until that time arrives, there will always be certain tradeoffs and consequences that are associated with all forms of energy production. Obviously, we should try to identify and minimize any potential harmful effects that are related to energy production systems. However, unless people are willing to live without electricity, there are always going to be some costs relating to the manufacturing of energy systems and with the production of the energy provided by those systems.

Solar Panels in Landfills -- Solar panels are typically warranted against failure for a period of 10-15 years. However, they usually last for much longer than that. For example, many solar panels are actually guaranteed to perform at 90% of their original energy output for 25 years. One of my own solar panels is over 20 years old now. This particular panel has been used in both stationary and mobile applications. It's been through some pretty extreme weather conditions, it has had all kind of stuff fall on it (including tree branches and giant hail), it's been knocked over several times on rocks (during high winds in mobile applications), it's been subject to significant vibration from off-roading, and it's been through many desert sand storms. Yet, other than a little discoloration from age, the glass, the solar cells, and the frame remain undamaged and it still performs very close to same as it did when it was new. Considering that it is still going strong, I think that it represents a pretty good return on investment (not only from a financial standpoint, but also from a personal, social, and environmental standpoint as well).

Battery Waste -- What type of batteries are you using? For my small-scale solar systems, I've always used traditional deep-cycle lead-acid batteries which can be easily, and almost entirely, recycled. However, for larger solar systems, other battery types are usually utilized for power storage, Depending on the type of battery used, recycling the components of these of batteries can be more challenging than it is with lead-acid batteries. There are new battery technologies, however, that are currently being developed which have the potential to not only increase the durability, efficiency, and output of current technologies, but also open up many additional possibilities for entirely new types of batteries that don't rely on the minerals and metals that are needed for traditional batteries. And as demand continues to rise in this industry, it will help to drive additional innovation in new battery development and better efficiency in battery recycling.

Headlines -- Headlines can have a positive emotional impact on the reader/viewer, but they can also be very misleading as well. What does the rest of the story say? What types of information is the story based on? In other words, what data was included, and what data was omitted? Who compiled the data and what kind of industry affiliations, grants, and personal biases are associated with the conclusions? How does this headline compare to opposing headlines, stories, and data?

All new technologies have costs associated with them. For example, what were the financial, social, and environmental costs associated with oil exploration, resource management, system deployment, and energy production initially? And what are they now? Have these costs improved over time, or have they become more costly? These same types of questions should also be applied to other technologies as well such as the internet, wireless communications, social media, AI, and alternative energy technologies.

Questions and Arguments -- For and Against

 

Lithium-Ion car batteries negatively impact the environment, have human health costs, and have been associated with child labor practices in some areas -- What about the lead-acid batteries that are used in gasoline and diesel cars today? They too also have similar issues associated with them. How about the impacts of oil exploration, oil production, and oil usage on the environment, wildlife, and humanity? How about all of the waste from the oil changes in the 200 million+ gasoline and diesel cars on the road today in the US? How about all of the pollution from gasoline and diesel powered cars (not just the CO²)? Or how about all of the oil that collects on the surfaces of parking lots and driveways from leaking cars that gets washed away in the rain and enters into our waterways? With regards to child labor used in battery mineral mining, what about child labor practices in other industries? Is the exploitation of adults and children in this world limited to only the (Green Battery) mineral mining industry?

Electric cars are clean and good for the environment -- What are the environmental and human costs of battery technologies currently used in EVs? Are electric cars safe? Where is the power coming from to charge the batteries? Is it based on conventional energy power generation or is it based on alternative energy power generation (or what percentage of each type of technology accounts for the charging of the batteries)? Is there a real net decrease in the amount of pollution with the use of electric cars (not just CO²)? Will pollution decrease in the future as the alternative energy grid grows and technology advances? How are the EMFs (electromagnetic fields) associated with the batteries, electrical systems, and drive systems of electric vehicles impacting the health of the occupants in those cars? How are the EMFs produced by traditional cars impacting the health of the occupants in those cars? Is there a cost of freedom associated with electric cars? What if your future social credit score decreases, or there is another lockdown (health or environmental), or you say something that is contrary to the Global Governance Official Narrative (GGON)? Will you still be able to charge and drive your electric car? Or will you become locked out of it? Could they implement a similar type of thing in gasoline and diesel cars?

Solar panels are bad for the environment -- Solar panels are bad for the environment in relation to what? How many tons of single-use consumer goods are deposited into landfills each day? Or each month? Or each year? How many tons of oil, gas, coal, charcoal, and wood are burned each day? As with the production of all things, there is a financial, social, and environmental cost that is associated with producing solar panels. However, this not a product or a resource that must be burned each day, or maintained on a regular basis, or something that pollutes the environment each day. Once a solar panel is produced, it can be productive and pollution-free for 25 years or more. But (some say) after they fail, don't you have to dispose of them and buy new ones? What happens when other systems and products fail (usually long before the expected 25+ year lifetime of solar panels). Don't you have to buy more? And where do many of those things end up when they fail?

Wind-Turbines are inefficient, they kill birds, and they are bad for the environment -- Wind-turbines require a certain about of power to run and they draw that power from the electrical grid. But so do conventional power stations. The question is, what is the net power production of wind turbines vs. conventional power plants (on a standardized basis)? In some cases, wind turbines have had issues interfacing efficiently with the electrical grid as it exists today. This was true in the past, however with newer technologies, these problems will become much less of an issue in the future. But (some say) wind turbines need to be maintained, they are costly to build, and they must be disposed of at the end of their life cycle. Isn't this also true for traditional power plants and similar technology as well? Regarding the danger to birds, how many birds, animals, and humans have been killed or have had their health severely impacted by oil and gas exploration, oil and gas production, pollution, and oil spills? Or by nuclear power production (Chernobyl, Fukushima, Three Mile Island, and other nuclear incidents). Or by coal mining? But what about noise, space, and aesthetics associated with wind turbines? Most often wind turbines are located in areas that are not near homes or farmland (due to the high wind conditions), so such concerns are not normally an issue. However, in other locations, it's possible that wind turbines might pose a problem with regards to noise, space, aesthetics, and other social/environmental concerns.

The Gas of Life -- I hear people say all of the time that carbon dioxide is the gas of life. But so is oxygen. And water is the liquid of life. And Iron is a mineral of life. However, an unbalanced environment containing too much oxygen isn't healthy. And while a glass of water may be healthy, a tsunami isn't. And while the right amount of iron is essential to good health, too much iron in your diet can be poisonous. Is climate change real? Of course it is. The climate changes every day! Sometimes I hear people say that it is really hot today, or it is hot this week, or it is hot this month, so climate change must be real! Other times, I hear people say that it is cold today, or it's been a cool week, or it's been a cold month this summer, so climate change must be a hoax! Short-term changes in the weather (or localized changes in the weather) are rather meaningless if you are trying to validate (or invalidate) a long-term change or trend in the climate of the planet. There is a lot of conflicting data out there on both sides. And data and statistics can be easily manipulated to intentionally (or unintentionally) support any position desired. There are many other factors that can also contribute to "climate change" besides the levels of CO² in the atmosphere. For example, the cycles of the sun, cycles of the planets, intentional weather manipulation, and nuclear and EMF tests in the atmosphere are just a few of the things that can also influence the climate. I think that there is room for at least a little open-mindedness with regards to how and/or why the climate is changing on this planet (and if it is dangerous). That being said, it's pretty clear at this point that the global elite are using the "climate change crisis" (narrative) as one of their main tools in the drive towards global governance and new world order.

Conclusion

There are many valid ways to arrive at a conclusion. However, I think that we should be cautious of viewpoints and conclusions that are arrived at through limited research, improper research, lack of experience, blind emotion, lack of discernment, and lack of differentiation (comparative analysis).

Opinions and conclusions can be influenced by emotional images, dramatic headlines, and "official" reports. It just depends on which images you look at, what headlines you read, and which sources that you rely on. If you have a preconceived bias towards Green Energy and Climate Change, there are plenty of resources available to support and confirm that view. And if you have a preconceived bias against Green Energy and Climate Change, then there are also plenty of resources available to support and confirm that view as well. However, if your preconceptions are limited and your bias is towards the truth, then it can take a lot of effort and a very long time to arrive at a proper, true, and unclouded conclusion. There is nothing wrong with being biased towards a particular viewpoint or position, just as long as it isn't based on a blind bias.

Are there some issues and concerns associated with alternative energy systems? Of course there are. However, does that mean that we should abandon alternative energy simply because we don't have everything figured out right now? What if we did the same thing with oil when it was first discovered and being brought out into widespread use?

There are real benefits and drawbacks associated with both conventional and alternative energy technologies. Do your own research and form your own conclusions based on proper examination, analysis, and differentiation, rather than on blindly-biased commentaries, emotionally-charged images, leading headlines, cherry-picked data, one-off videos, and/or top-of-page internet search results.
 

Video

Poo-Poo (and Pee-Pee) On Alternative Energy

Some of the drawbacks of conventional energy production. How does this compare to alternative energy production? 
 

I normally enjoy listening to David Icke's views on various issues. However, this video is not one of them. In this video (and in others like it) he consistently poo-poos and pee-pees on anything related to alternative energy in a manner that appears to be devoid of any real knowledge or understanding of the subject matter itself. The arguments that he makes for why alternative energy systems are wasteful and polluting are completely illogical and incorrect. He talks about how the minds of environmentalists have been taken over and how alternative energy systems are a "complete catastrophe", yet he doesn't offer any comparative analysis with (or constructive criticisms of) conventional power generation technologies. Basically, it is very similar to the propaganda that you often hear from Green Energy proponents that similarly do not offer any constructive criticisms of alternative energy technologies, nor do they offer any proper comparisons in relation to the benefits of conventional forms of power production. In both cases, I think that this can be very dangerous and misleading in many different ways.

In viewing this video, you might come to the conclusion that alternative energy is evil, polluting, wasteful, invalid, and simply part of a global elite agenda to control the masses. However, would that be correct? Where are all the images of the wildlife and the environment damaged by oil spills (such as Exxon Valdez, Deepwater Horizon, and many others), or by refinery pollution, or from cancer clusters around oil refineries, or by land and water pollution due to coal mining, or coal miner health issues, or nuclear waste and nuclear accidents, or gas-car fires, or gas-car pollution, etc?

I'm not sure if this video represents a good example of this or not, but I sometimes see people that become opposed, or even hostile, towards certain things (a technology, a concept, a word, or a symbol) simply because they associate those things with the global elite and their agenda to rule and control the world. Just because the global elite hijack something for their own agendas, it doesn't necessarily mean that that particular thing is nefarious or harmful on its own (outside of the influence and control of the so-called elite). That is why discernment, differentiation, examination, and analysis are so important. Without such things, unfounded pessimism and hostility can begin to creep into everything that you encounter. That is not to say that there aren't a lot of things to be pessimistic or doubtful about today (or that there isn't such a thing as healthy pessimism and doubt). It just means that we shouldn't allow those things to evolve or deteriorate in such a way that they become unhealthy to ourselves and the world around us. 

It's very clear that the global elite are using "climate change" and "green energy" as vehicles in their drive towards global government and new world order. However, that doesn't mean that there aren't valid uses and benefits associated with alternative energy systems, or that there aren't valid environmental and sustainability concerns associated with current energy technologies. Personally, I don't see it as being an issue of one or the other, but rather as an opportunity to utilize each of these different technologies to their full potential (until something better comes along).

 

Intermission
Enjoy the Silence

8-8-23

 

What happens to consciousness when each event in your life seems to abruptly jump into the next event in your life without any pause? What happens to consciousness when your days are filled with a great deal of movement and noise, but with little stillness and silence? What happens to consciousness when your daily life begins to look more like an action movie trailer rather than that of natural organic life?

On the other hand, what happens to consciousness when we have the time (or we make the time) to really connect with the natural world that exists around us? And what happens to consciousness when we have sufficient time to pause, to contemplate, to reflect, and to enjoy the silence?

Music

Enjoy the Silence

You are the emperor of the screen that is in front of you. Thus, it is up to you to decide which screen to look at and what scenes to enjoy.

Just remember though, when playing the part of the emperor, it is important to remain fully-clothed at all times.

Foreclosure? What Are You Talking About?

Why does everything appear to be in foreclosure all of the sudden?
 

I'm gettin' out of here!
 

The Highest House

 

The Highest House in Creation is the House of Right and True. This House sits above all other houses including the houses of government, political parties, presidents, gods, celebrities, corporations, clubs, institutions, societies, religions, philosophies, nations, cultures, science, medicine, money, media, entertainment, technology, and similar houses.
 

The road is long, but there is always help available along the way. All you have to do is reach out with your Right hand.
 

There are many steps that lead up to the House of Right and True. The bottom steps usually include such things as open-mindedness, curiosity, fascination, insight, imagination, contemplation, intuition, and instinct. However, to reach the house, there are additional steps that must also be taken (climbed) which include the active pursuit of Knowledge, Awareness, Understanding. And to actually enter the House, it requires that you climb what are perhaps the hardest steps of all, which include proper examination, logic, reasoning, discernment, contextual awareness, differentiation, and discourse (open discussion and debate).
 

 

When the steps are climbed, the door can be opened. However, when steps are not climbed, then the door cannot be opened (or even reached).
 

 

Sometimes it is necessary to travel into the darkness in order to find the Light of what is Right and True. However, those who travel into the darkness with closed minds and dogmatic beliefs, will likely find even greater darkness and smaller boxes than the darkness and the boxes from which they came.

Many Houses, But Few Doors
 

The Right House is not the White house...
 

And the Right house is not the WEF house...
 

And the Right House is not the Oxford house...
 

And the Right House is not the Mega-Church house...
 

And the Right House is not the right house...
 

And the Right House is not the left house. So where is the Right House?
 

The Right House is actually found within your own House.
 

The Highest House is not found in any of the grand mansions, fancy palaces, or comfortable houses of the world. Rather, it resides in one of the most modest and most unlikely houses of all...Your House. When searching for (and standing in) the House of what is Right and True, it can sometimes seem like we are all Alone in the Wilderness. However, we are never truly alone when we choose to inhabit the House of Creation.

Labels, Group Identities, and Individuals
-- Can I get a B? Can I get an O? Can I can an X? What Does That Spell? -- 

It spells barcode (by way of box).
 

The terms conservative, liberal, right, left, republican, and democrat have been so corrupted in recent years that they no longer represent what they used to in the past. As such, to identify with one of these labels means that you will inadvertently take on all of the baggage and the propaganda that is associated with them (via the media). This is how you are being perceived and judged by others. Is that what you really want?

Have you ever noticed that people tend to get really uncomfortable when they are unable to place you in some type of political box? Do you really want to be boxed-in and labeled in that manner? Can the true essence of what is Right and True really survive after it has been filtered through the lenses of group identities, labels, and ideologies?

As I have suggested many times throughout this series, instead of identifying with an artificially created label (that may or may not represent who you truly are), why not simply identify with what is Right and True, thereby bypassing all of the filters, corruption, propaganda, and divisory elements that are often associated with such labels? Could team spirit, team belonging, and team comfort have something to do with people's apparent reluctance to stand independently for what is actually Right and True?

Currently, the modernized "left" is being used as the main vehicle to drive the agendas of Global Government and New World Order. However, it wasn't all that long ago that the "right" was being used for the very same purpose. Do you remember 911? Do you remember the financial "crisis"? Do you remember the never-ending wars? Do you remember the Warp Speed Vax and Warp Speed 5G rollout? Do you remember the near-zero interest rates and the beginning (of the end) of excessive money printing?

Recently, I've seen quite a few comments posted under videos (relating to political candidates) that go something this: "I really like what this person has to say, and they seem really sincere, and if I wasn't a member of such and such political party, I would probably vote for them". What is wrong with this picture?

The Kettle and the Pot

 

The right is to blame. No, the left is to blame. Trump caused inflation. No, Biden caused inflation. The west is the monster. No, the east is the monster. Islam is to blame. No, Christianity is to blame. Your god is to blame. No, your god is to blame. You are to blame. No, you are to blame.

So who is really to blame? I suppose that the real blame lies in the fact that both the Kettle and the Pot are different shades of black, but neither one sees it, realizes it, or is willing to accept it.

The god(s) of Dogma

I am Jekyll, a gentle and loving god (unless you disobey me).

I am the god of dogmatic religion, consensus science, coercive medicine, corrupt politics, addictive technology, mind-numbing entertainment, official narratives, and blind belief. Worship me, for I am your lord and your master and there is no other god than I. Those who seek any knowledge, awareness, or understanding that exists outside of my book, my narrative, my rule, or my Kingdom will incur my wrath and my jealousy, and will be forever damned to the deepest depths of hell for all of eternity.
 

I am Hyde, an angry god that expresses my love of the flock through war, conquest, looting, wrath, jealousy, insecurity, fear, coercion, manipulation, and slavery. Sound familiar?

Take Flight

Freedom and salvation are not found in the lower houses of indoctrination, propaganda, dogma, or caged belief. Rather, they are found in the House of uncaged Knowledge, Awareness, and Understanding.

Conclusion

When the lower houses are worshiped and take precedence over the Higher House via the practice of blind loyalty, group membership, false unity, faulty virtue, dogmatic belief, and/or fear, this is when the process of foreclosure is set into motion in Your House.

There are many different houses and many different intermediaries that will claim to be the way to your salvation. However, in the end, it is the House of Creation, found within your own House, that is actually your True Salvation.

Is this the doormat that welcomes guests into your house? Or, is it the doormat that is representative of your True House?

Our House

What is one of the biggest problems in the world today? Could it be that a significant portion of the general population has come to think that "their house" (the house or group that defines them) is a very fine house, but are unable see that there might actually be some termites that are hiding in the foundation and structure of that house?

Too Big to Fail
Vampires in the House

Houses of the Holy and the Unholy -- The HOR House, The Whore House, the Corporate House, and Our House.
 

Unwritten Laws

There is an unwritten Law of Creation that goes something like this: The bigger and more monopolized that something becomes, the greater the chance that it will eventually consume itself.

This applies to governments, empires, emperors, institutions, ideologies, people (personas), and to many other things as well.

Idealism and Realism

The idea of a totally free society and a totally free market system (without regulation) is a very attractive concept to many. However, as we have seen again and again throughout history, a society and a market system without proper boundaries eventually descends into a world of chaos, suffering, death, and destruction...first by the actions of the few, and then later by the participation of the many.

Natural Laws and the Promotion of Healthy Growth

Creation has a basic structure and a basic set of rules and boundaries that define it and benefit it. Therefore, since society is an extension of Creation (i.e. a creation within Creation), it too should also have a basic set of rules and boundaries that guide it so that it functions in a healthy and proper manner.

Healthy Growth through Artificial Laws?

In the past, there have been numerous laws, rules, and regulations that have been enacted in order to help promote societal well being. Sadly, many of these rules actually came into existence because of the failure of moral and ethical self-regulation. The end result of such failures was not only massive amounts of corruption, but also great human costs as well.

In my view, Natural Law and self-regulation are preferable to artificial laws, rules, and regulations. However, when Natural Law is not adhered to, and self-regulation fails, then additional steps should be taken in order to ensure the well-being of individuals within society.

Conflicts of Interest

In commerce today, the main principle that guides most operations is the maximization of profit, not the well-being of individuals or society. Even when the maximization of profit isn't the main motive initially, it usually evolves into this as a company grows and later becomes incorporated. In fact, when a business entity chooses to become a corporation, there is actually a lawful duty to maximize profit and the return of its shareholders.

The general workers of a corporation, and the general shareholders of a corporation, represent the greater distribution of people within a corporation and within society. However, it is actually the controlling shareholders of a corporation that represent the majority of interest in the corporation (and by extension, the greatest influence in society). The larger that a corporation becomes, the greater the power that the controlling shareholders have, and the greater influence that they have on general society. This is where (and when) the disconnect begins to really occur.

The further up the hierarchy that the controlling members of a corporation travel, the more disconnected that they usually become from the general workers and the general population. This is further compounded by the fact that the members who occupy the top tiers of the hierarchy often live in areas that are removed from the general population. Thus, the interests of the controllers, and the interests of general population, are usually very different from one another, and are often in direct conflict with one another.

This situation is not unique to just corporations, however. It also occurs in governments and other entities as well. As corporations, organizations, and governments grow in size, so do their interrelationships. Therefore, as the interests of these entities become increasingly more aligned, their interests, in relation to their workers and their constituents, becomes increasingly disconnected and mis-aligned.

Representation and Misrepresentation

If true representation is what the general population desires in government, then why do they continually elect elite members of society to represent them? Why is prior executive corporate experience seen as a benefit to the representation of a general population that exists at the bottom of the (disconnected and misaligned) corporate and government hierarchies? And why is a political system that is supposed to represent the people, set up in such a way that favors the qualifications (and money) of top-tier members of corporate and government hierarchies?

Deregulation, Unhealthy Regulation, and Devilution

What 's the end result of this evolution (devilution) of hierarchical power and control? Laws, rules, and regulations that were originally intended to protect people from the corruption and the blind interests of misaligned entities, end up getting deleted or they are rewritten and inverted in such a way that they favor the creation of even bigger monopolies, which then serves to stifle and destroy smaller businesses, healthy competition, and freedom of choice within society.

Conclusion

Healthy regulation in the form of basic laws, rules, and boundaries helps to promote a healthy society. On the other hand, a breakdown and/or the elimination of functional laws and moral and ethical standards, creates an unhealthy atmosphere that is conducive to the corruption and the destruction of society. Too many laws, rules, and regulations, on the other hand, can also have a negative effect on society as well through the process of monopolization, destruction of healthy competition, unnatural limitation, and artificially created stagnation.

The too-big-to-fail philosophy is a fallacy because it is in opposition to Natural Law and the natural rebalancing mechanisms of Creation. When corrupt people and institutions are allowed to grow into too-big-to-fail monstrosities (and not allowed to fail as they should via bail-ins and bail-outs), it simply encourages the toxicity and corruption within them to grow until they eventually consume everything including themselves.

To let the system fail now, as it should, would be extremely painful. However, to let it continue on as it is, will only serve to make things much worse when it eventually does fail. Unfortunately, the reality is that many people don't want to face such a reality. As such, unreality will probably continue to grow until it reaches a point of catastrophic and irreversible failure.

As horrific as that may sound, it's not anything new. It has actually happen before during many other periods in our known history (and probably many more times that we don't know about in our unknown history).

The rise and fall of unnatural and destructive systems in Creation is as natural as the cycles of the seasons and the tides of the oceans. There is always some choice in how these things unfold. It just depends on how much reality people are willing to face, how prolonged they want the pain and suffering to be, and how much BS they are willing to accept and endure from the vampires of the current system.

Footnote: In this post, I'm not suggesting that capitalism is inherently bad, or that organizations are bad, or that groups are bad, or that outside leadership is bad. What I'm saying is that the evolution of these systems through the process of devilution is bad, and that outside leadership can become very dangerous and destructive in the absence of healthy self-leadership within the general population. Of course when it comes time for a company or system to fail naturally (or unnaturally), it is important that they are rebuilt properly and not used as a "crisis" event to further the agendas of the original destroyers.

Documentaries

Inside Job

There are a number of unsavory characters and controversial viewpoints featured in the documentaries and movies below. However, there is also a wealth of information that is directly applicable to what has been discussed above and also what has been discussed in recent posts, including:

How government really works
Who governments really represent
How unhealthy de-regulation can create huge blood-sucking monsters, and how unhealthy regulation can also create huge blood-sucking monsters
Why psychopaths seem to always rise to the top of corporations, governments, and institutions
How the race to unrestricted freedom in finance hasn't led us to the healthy economy that the architects promised, but rather to a highly destructive and unhealthy economy instead
Why many psychopaths actually believe that their corrupt and unlawful behaviors are a benefit to society
How governments (via self-serving interests, lobbyists, and revolving doors) artificially manipulate the distribution of wealth within society
How New Order solutions are formed from newly created problems and ongoing chaos
How political candidates capitalize on crisis (by claiming to be the solution to the problems that were created by the "other" politicians in the past)
How corruption grows as a result of bipartisan agreement, not by way of right or left agendas alone
 How selective (i.e. party corrective) memory of the perceived culprits of past events plays into the ongoing war between the right and the left
How the ball seamlessly gets tossed between the right and the left parties, and continues down the field apparently unnoticed, while the people watch from the bleachers and fight about who actually has the ball and which team deserves the penalties
How industry lobbying efforts effectively drive public policy (rather than that of the voting the public)
Why presidents of today are merely puppets and tools of the cabinets that surround them and the unseen management that exists above them
How the game of corruption and destruction is usually initiated by just a few, but is eventually played out by the many in the end (please see the movies linked below)
How the way out of this mess will not be achieved through the selection of a new president or a new congress, but rather by way of a correction of consciousness that is elected and enacted by a new people
 

The Corporation
 

The Great Reset and the drive towards Global Government and New World Order is actually just an extension of the growth of larger and larger monopolies and the race towards more centralized, more concentrated, and more monopolized power and control.

The WEF (and related global entities) represent the final evolution in the concept of "incorporation" and monopolization via the creation of monster holding companies. Such companies are, in fact, the ultimate expression of greed and empire building with their desire to own, track, and control everything in the world including all subsidiary corporations, all financial assets, all transactions, all life, and all human beings.

I highly encourage people to watch this entire documentary, even if you find certain parts of it distasteful, because it offers a great deal of insight (both intended and not intended) into what is happening in the world today. In particular, there is an interesting segment in the film that discussed how the Fox News Network censored its own investigative journalists in order to preserve its profits and relationships with its sponsors and advertisers (which is very relevant to the plandemic and the vax censorship that has occurred during the last few years). The final appeal and ruling in this court case is the most interesting of all, and is very telling with regards to the censorship and "truth telling" that occurs in the mainstream news media today.

There are also many other interesting segments in the film as well including a look at the tracking and tracing that occurred in Nazi Germany, along with the intermingled relationships that resulted between large corporations and the government. Don't think that history repeats itself? These past events were actually a direct precursor to the tracking and tracing systems that are being developed and unveiled today such as Worldcoin, CBDCs, social credit scores, and health and vaccine passports. Another segment in the film that is very relevant to current events, is the section on the patenting and ownership of life. And, as a special bonus, there was a rather comical (and clearly insincere) publicity stunt that was undertaken by Pfizer in order to try and cultivate and shape public opinion about their company (also relevant to recent events).

Towards the end of the documentary, Michael Moore asks the question, "why would media corporations promote my films when they are in direct conflict with their business practices?". His answer was, it's because their greed and their lack of ethics compels them to. In some ways, I think that he is partially correct (but probably not in the way that he intended). Large corporations are in bed with the government. And the government is in bed with the large corporations. And both are in bed with the Global Government entities that are using things such as climate change, false environmentalism, weaponized virtue, and gun control in order to further their own agendas towards the realization of Global Empire and New World Order.

I wonder what political presence we will find under the two-party tree this joyous season?

 

Election Season

For 2024, a new simplified voting procedure has
been developed. More details below.
 

Hooray, it's $election season again! What does that mean? It's time for everyone to lose sight of everything that they have learned over the last four years and return once again to highly-polarized (boxed-in) modes of thought and amnesiac-like behaviors.

Election season is a time of mindlessness, rather than mindfulness. It's a season of giving...of fighting and in-fighting...and it's a season of unforgiving...of political blasphemies spoken against your chosen political gods.

Election season is a time that is characterized by a division of the whole, and an unhealthy focus on the shattered fragments of the whole. It's a time when the power of the individual and the many is suppressed, while the agendas of the select few are advanced.

In short, election season is a season of blindness and craziness, when everyone is led to believe that they are acting independently within their chosen party, but are in fact acting dependently within the trap of the manufactured two-party system.
 

 

A new, improved, and shockingly simple voting system for 2024 has just been revealed! With this new system, the US branch of the WEF has assured us that each and every voter will finally get the results that they deserve! Plus, as a bonus (and a thank you from the WEF), there will be a free glass of frosty Bud Light waiting for you after you vote! The WEF is a proud sponsor and supporter of equity and inclusivity in voting. So make your vote count! Note: This is actually a prototype for press release only. I am told that the actual voting utensil for 2024 will be improved and will include only two prongs for faster and more efficient voting.

Climate Controlled Environment and Extended Seasons

Please keep the dial set on stressful, absurd, and crazy. Thank you!.

Just when it appears that consciousness is beginning to break free from its manufactured boundaries and is starting to grow once again, this is when election season arrives. Election season is much like Christmas in that it seems to arrive earlier and earlier each season. Why is that? For retailers, an earlier Christmas season often means additional revenue for them. And for the controllers, an earlier (and prolonged) election season means more time to trap, direct, and suppress the consciousness of the people.

Off-Season Attractions, Distractions, and Diversions

Let the show begin.
 

What happens during the election off-season if people's consciousness begins to grow? We are presented with yet another emergency, distraction, or chaotic event that works to further entrap our consciousness and move us backward, while simultaneously moving the agendas of the rulers forward. Some of these events can be described as major pivotal points in time (such as 911 or the plandemic), while others are merely "fillers" that are designed to keep our consciousness occupied, distorted, and distracted while we wait for the next "big one" to occur.

The Comfort of the Tribe

 

When we settle into (or are directed towards) the comfort of a particular team, tribe, narrative, or institution, it can work to restrict our awareness, understanding, and consciousness of the world that exists outside of these (often manufactured) zones of comfort.

Healthy competition is not unhealthy by itself. In fact, it is often very beneficial. It's only when competition is presented and manufactured in such a way that it blinds us to the Greater Whole, and to Greater Consciousness, that it becomes unhealthy.

And teams, tribes, and groups by themselves are not unhealthy. Its only when group psychology suppresses or replaces individual thought, dissent, and action/inaction that teams, tribes, and groups can become unhealthy, dangerous, and destructive.

Top Down Approach

 

As human beings, we have a tendency to approach problems from a top down view instead of from a bottom up perspective. For example, we often begin with the premise that we belong to a certain group or ideology which is presumed to be right or correct. Therefore, by default, any opposing ideology is usually assumed to be incorrect or void of any useful or important information. This type of situation is seen quite frequently in politics (left, right, conservative, liberal), in religion (Christian, Muslim, East, West), in race (black, white, brown, etc), in socioeconomic ideologies (Capitalism, Socialism, Communism), in sports "divisions" (American, National, East, West, Central), and so on.

Politicization (extreme states of polarization) is entering into all aspects of our lives today.
This is resulting in a constriction and a suppression of our consciousness
which makes it easier to divide, rule, and conquer us.

Why is our world set up this way? The simple answer to this question is to promote division and polarization among the people. A divided population is much easier to control than a united or unified one is to. 

It is possible to have a fixed set of core values, yet still remain mobile (open to other alternatives). It's only when people become pegged, fixed, or highly polarized/politicized in their thoughts, actions, and inactions that things can become unhealthy and dangerous. Even when a certain group, philosophy, or institution is perceived to be dangerous (or is genuinely dangerous), there is always useful information contained within it that can help us to understand the perspectives, perceptions, and motives of the enemy as well as the perspectives, perceptions, and motives of the self (and its allies).

Bottom Up Approach

This is a bit confusing, but the bottom-up approach is actually illustrative and descriptive of
the top-down approach. In other words, with the top-down approach, the crack(pots)
and the ass(holes) are above the real intelligence that exists below.
 

What if we were to approach social, political, and economic issues from a bottom-up perspective instead of a top-down view? In other words, what if we looked at these issues with the simple idea that we are all human beings first, and that we all have common desires and needs such as life, liberty, love, freedom, and happiness? What if localized thought, action, and organization was seen as being more important than that of centralized thought, action, and organization? What would the world look like then?

In our drive towards compassion, empathy, and humanity towards others, it's important that we don't lose sight of our individual freedom and independence. And in our drive towards greater individual freedom and independence, it's important that we don't lose sight of our compassion, empathy, and humanity towards others.

Unity does not mean uniformity. And freedom and independence does not mean inhumanity (although the controllers would like us to think that it does).

The Words and Language of Creation

When we independently do things for others (without pressure, coercion, or expectation), it makes us feel good. However, when we get stuck in the expectations of others (via con-formity, commune-inty, and cult-ural "norms") we get a longing to break free from these unnatural restrictions. This is something that is "built" into many human beings and it is one of the ways that Creation "speaks" to us and keeps us heading in the right direction.

When we move through life with independent thought and action, Creation speaks to us and rewards us with many different signs and synchronicities that can help to guide us towards Greater Consciousness and a Greater Awareness and Understanding of ourselves and others. However, when we simply go through life with our heads down, blindly conforming to the group, then the signs and synchronicities of Creation become fewer and fewer as a result of us losing sight of our true place and our unique path in Creation.

Everything in Creation makes up the One that is Creation. However, it is actually the independent ones within Creation that make Creation what it is.
 

Creation rewards independence, because it is independent behavior that allows
Creation to grow. And Creation rewards natural unity, because
it is natural unity that allows Creation to grow.
 

Creation gave us the tools that we need in order to grow our consciousness and become closer to the Whole of Creation. However, if we choose to forsake those tools, or choose to develop them improperly, then that is our choice. Creation will usually attempt to provide us with additional tools to help awaken us to our true potential (including occasionally hitting us over the head with those tools when needed). However, in the end, it is ultimately up to us to decide what place in Creation that we want to occupy.

Religions and Religious Institutions

Romans 13 (NIV): "Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves."

Apparently, according to Romans 13, God created government, and if you question or rebel against government (or any government created entities), then you will suffer the wrath of God. How convenient for the politicians and the governments of the world to have the support (and the wrath) of God on their side. It seems that fiat currency is also an instrument and an extension of God as well.
 

The image above is a rare example of three different religions working
 together in peace and harmony for the greater good (of the few) --
Governmenthism, Fiathism, and Christianity.

There are many different religious institutions in the world. And there are many different institutions in the world that can take on a religious nature. Religions can be beneficial when they seek to expand individual thought and inspiration within a natural community of independent individuals. However, when thoughts and actions become dogmatic in nature, and communities of unique individuals become institutions of uniform collectivized unthinking people, then these institutionalized and collectivized communities can become very dangerous and destructive.

Major Religions of the World (ranked by followers) -- Governmenthism (most of the world), Fiathism (most of the world), Techism (most of the world), Christianity (over 2 billion), Islam (about 1.8 billion), Hinduism (about 1.1 billion), Buddhism (500 million), Shinto (over 100 million), Sikhism (25 million), Judaism (15 million), Taoism (12 million), Confucianism (6.5 million).

Institutionalized Religions of the World -- Consensus "science", consensus "health", one party government (disguised as a two-party system), official narratives (that suppresses independent thought, dissent, and inquiry), and other matrices and metaverses of collective thought.

The God of Creation and the gods of Religious Institutions

You will bow down and you will blindly worship me, or you will suffer my wrath!
 

When a "god" of a religion (or a religious institution) acts with arrogance, anger, wrath, cruelty, deception, vengeance, conquest, jealously, and greed, and discourages any independent thought outside of their own rule via fear, coercion, and violence, this should be an immediate red flag that they are not God, nor are they a representative of Creation, but are in fact a false god that is acting to suppress Creation rather than enhance it or expand it (more on this in a future post).

False gods take the true elements of Creation and distort, constrict, and invert them in order to advance their own desires of corrupted power and control over others. The God of Creation, on the other hand, encourages the expansion of consciousness through the advancement of uncorrupted, unrestricted, and uninverted elements of Knowledge, Awareness, and Understanding.

The Mark of the Beast

The modern church and con-gregation.
 

It's been said in Revelation that the Mark of the Beast will  be placed either on (in) the right hand or on (in) the forehead of its subjects. Why is that? The right hand was chosen by "the beast" as a symbol of its intentional corruption of what is Right and True in Creation. By "marking" and influencing the right hand, this leaves the other hand free to influence the body of creation (and Creation) via the left-hand path. What is in the hands of most people in the world today?
 

Let us bow our heads now in prayer before we eat. This is a special prayer that not only
involves giving thanks to our god, but it also includes a wonderful
appetizer of dopamine before the main course arrives.
 

The "forehead" contains the foremost part of the brain called the frontal lobe. Below is a brief description of some of its main functions (from Wikipedia):
 

The Frontal Lobe
 

The frontal cortex is considered to be the action (and non-action) cortex. It is devoted to an action of one kind or another: Skeletal movement, ocular movement, speech control, and the expression of emotions. In humans, the largest part of the frontal cortex is the prefrontal cortex (PFC), which is responsible for purposeful mental action commonly called reasoning or prefrontal synthesis.

The function of the PFC involves the ability to project future consequences that result from current actions. PFC functions also include the override and suppression of "socially unacceptable responses" as well as differentiation of tasks.

The PFC also plays an important part in integrating longer non-task based memories stored across the brain. These are often memories associated with emotions derived from input from the brain's limbic system. The frontal lobe modifies those emotions, generally to fit "socially acceptable norms".

The frontal lobe contains most of the dopamine neurons in the cerebral cortex. The dopaminergic pathways are associated with reward, attention, short-term memory tasks, planning, and motivation. Dopamine tends to limit and select sensory information coming from the thalamus to the forebrain.

The cerebrum, in general, is responsible for not only the "coordination of movement", but also for speech, judgment, reasoning, problem-solving, emotions, and learning. If the "beast" could poison, influence, disrupt, or destroy the frontal lobe and the cerebrum, then it could poison, influence, disrupt, and/or destroy the functions that are associated with the frontal lobe and the cerebrum.

Symmetry in Creation

 

Have you ever wondered why the human body is so symmetrical in its nature? It's because it was made in the "image" of Creation. As a result of this symmetry, the clues to Higher Consciousness have been encoded directly within the "body" of knowledge of Creation. Those who learn to think and reason with both the right and the left hemispheres of the brain, can potentially become more conscious than those who think and reason with only the right or the left hemispheres of the brain. And those who learn to work and play with both the right and the left hands together, can potentially become more coordinated in their movements than those who focus on just the right or the left hand alone. And those who learn to walk the path of life with both feet in balance, can potentially travel to many more places and travel much greater distances than those who focus only on trying to get a "leg up" over others. And those who learn to see with both eyes, can potentially develop greater vision than a person that only sees through the right eye or the left eye. And those who learn to listen with both ears, can potentially hear, discern, and decipher many more things than those who only hear with the right ear or the left ear. And so on.

I Got a Name

 

"Like the pine trees lining the winding road, I've got a name, I've got a name" -- Each of us has our own unique name, place, and path within Creation. To make our name known in Creation, means to recognize, follow, and develop these things to their full potential.

"And I carry it with me like my daddy did, but I'm livin' a dream that he kept hid" -- When we hide our dreams and our full potential from Creation, Creation becomes hidden from us.

"Movin' me down the highway, rollin' me down the highway, movin' ahead so life won't pass me by" -- There are many things that can keep us busy and "moving" along in life, but that doesn't mean that they will all move us forward.

"And I carry it with me and I sing it loud, if it gets me nowhere, I'll go there proud" -- Sometimes we don't immediately get what we want or desire in life. And sometimes that can result in a feeling of discouragement and uncertainty. However, if we don't at least try, then it is almost certain that those things will never arrive. And even when we don't get what we want right away (or ever), there is always an opportunity to learn through the process of experience.

"Like the fool I am and I'll always be, I've got a dream, I've got a dream" -- In order to gain wisdom, one must be willing to be a fool. However, in our escapades as the fool, it is important to remember that to be a fool, and to be foolish, are two different things.

"If your going my way, I'll go with you" -- Does this mean that we should only go with those that think exactly like we do? Or does it mean that we should go with those who are independently "spirited", those who recognize the Greater Spirit within them, and those who think and act within the simple boundaries put forth by the Natural Laws of Creation?

Against the Wind

 

Sometimes you have to move against the prevailing winds (accepted "norms") in order to move forward. However, when the winds are moving in the right direction, to move against them, can sometimes result in us moving backward.

"Guess I lost my way, there were oh so many roads, I was livin' to run and runnin' to live" -- As discussed previously, there are many things that can keep us busy and moving along in life, but that doesn't always mean that they will move us forward.

In relation to the above, perhaps an important question to ask ourselves is this: What are we running from? Why is it so important to remain busy and/or distracted all the time? What is it about the silence and the stillness that scares us and makes us feel uncomfortable?

New Vision Through Division and Revision

 

Creation is divided between the above and the below, and the inner and the outer. And Consciousness is divided between lower consciousness and higher consciousness. And Interest is divided between self-interest and selfless-interest.

When polarities become unbalanced, Creation seeks to rebalance itself. Too much balance can result in stagnation. And too much imbalance can result in chaos and destruction.

Creation uses the elements of polarity to "optimize" itself (and its creations) through the ongoing process of balance and imbalance.

The Footlocker -- Hiking Boots and House Slippers

 

Itchy Boots can help to inspire us, keep us moving, and discover many new things which can lead to greater self-discovery, greater self-knowledge, greater self-awareness, and the optimization of self-consciousness and Greater Consciousness. On the other hand, comfortable shoes can lead to the stagnation of self-discovery, self-knowledge, and self-awareness, and the de-optimization self-consciousness and Greater Consciousness.

As we move through life, Creation fits us with the right shoes that we need in order to grow according to the tides and seasons of Creation (and creation).

Independency and Dependency

 

The growth of Higher Consciousness is dependent upon the growth of lower consciousness. And the growth lower consciousness is dependent upon the growth Higher Consciousness. The above needs the below to grow, and the below needs the above to grow.

In order to properly understand the outer, we must understand the inner. And to properly understand the inner, we must understand the outer.

For self-interest and self-optimization to grow (and be sustained), it must be accompanied by selfless-interest and selfless-optimization. And for selfless-interest and selfless-optimization to grow, it must be accompanied by self-interest and self-optimization.

Stuck in the Mud? Or Just Passing Through?

What happens when Creation (and its creations) get stuck in the mud? We are moved forward though the process of imbalance, balance, and optimization.

Vampires at the Door

7-15-23

 

It's been said that the only way a vampire can enter or gain access to your home is if it is invited in. So why would anyone willingly invite a vampire into their home?

There was an interesting survey that Melissa referenced in the CBDC video below that asked the question, "would you allow government surveillance cameras into your home"? In the general part of the survey, most people said that they wouldn't. So it begs the question, why would they allow smart appliances, Ring door bells, personal security systems/cameras, dash cams, smart watches, smart fitness devices, GPS devices, Alexa/Google/Siri personal assistant devices, Bing AI (which is now being included in Windows and Microsoft Edge), webcams, routers, data-collecting smart phone apps, smart phone cameras/microphones, harmful vaccines and medications, nonotechnology, (future) brain implants, (future) AGI, (now/future) robots, and (future) CBDCs into their homes and personal spaces?  

What are these things hooked up to right now? And what is the internet hooked up to? And what will AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) be hooked up to in the very near future? Everything!
 

The Smart Robot Vacuum app allows you to conveniently connect to and control your robot anytime and anywhere from your mobile device. And since your mobile device is hackable and it is connected to the internet, it means that anyone can vacuum your house from the convenience of their mobile devices as well!

But My Master is a Good Master

Corporations, governments, and government associated corporate entities would never abuse the trust, the privacy, or the power that the general public has granted to them (by "inviting" them into their homes and their personal lives). And an AI takeover (or abuse of its power and influence), that is crazy talk! That will never happen, and even if it did, it's probably many decades away.

I was working for Amazon when the above linked incident took place. As part of my employment agreement, I signed an NDA stating that I wouldn't reveal any company specific secrets. Therefore, without revealing any such details, I will just say that it was not a human being that crippled this man's "smart" devices and part of his home (as a result of what was incorrectly identified as "undesirable behavior"). It could have been a NPC, or it might have been something else, but it definitely wasn't human.
 

Constitution and constitution

What constitutes abuse? When people think of abuse, they usually associate it with physical, psychological, or sexual abuse. But what about abuse of trust, abuse of power, and abuse of privacy (to illicit a desired outcome)? And what about the abuse (corruption) of language and knowledge (to illicit a desired response)? And what about the abuse and corruption, inversion, and weaponization of morals, ethics, values, and virtues in order to either illicit a desired response in the abused target(s), or to give the abusers the justification to pursue a desired agenda under the false pretense of moral, ethical, and virtuous behavior? And what about the abuse of the oaths that are taken as public (not corporate) representatives under the Constitution?

Music

Away From the Sun
Three Doors Down

I enjoy optimistic music just as much as the next person does. However, there is a time for optimism, and there is a time for realism. It's not that these two things are separate from each other. It's that they are often purposely separated in order to avoid facing a harsh reality. False optimism encourages apathy and complacency. Realism, on the other hand, can definitely include optimism, but it must also include true reality as well in order to encourage, realize, and sustain a truly better reality both now and in the future.

The Sun, and the Son, represent the Light of Knowledge, Awareness, and Understanding (and Higher Consciousness). When we move towards these things in a correct manner with confidence and resiliency, we become en-Light-ened. However, when we "fall" away from these things via apathy, complacency, and ignore-ance (and the forfeiture of freewill), we become darkened.

The Dog Days of Summer
A Story about a Dog Named Cali

7-13-23

 

For some reason I have always thought of white dogs as being "girlie" dogs (dogs for girls). Because of this, I have never really considered having one. However, about a year and a half ago that changed when I visited a shelter looking for a dog. The shelter that I went to was in a very small town, so I didn't think that they would have very many dogs to choose from. However, when I entered the building, there were rows and rows of dogs, stacked in crates, three levels high. There were all kinds of different dogs there, including some very small puppies.

As I walked into the holding area, the very first dog on the right was Cali. When I saw her, I immediately thought "girlie dog". So I kept going. I got about half way down the corridor of the holding area and then I thought to myself, I can't believe how many dogs are in here. It was really shocking to see that many dogs in such a small shelter. But it was right after the "pandemic" so I think that many of them were dogs (and puppies) that people had got for companionship during the lockdown and then surrendered them when they returned back to their regular working hours.

I actually never made it past the half-way point of the holding area, and didn't even really look at any other dogs except for the puppies. For some reason, that I don't really understand, I turned around and went back to Cali's crate to look at her again. All the other dogs in the place were barking like crazy, except for Cali. One of the shelter attendants asked me if I wanted to see her and I said yes. So I went back into the office and sat on the floor and waited for him to get Cali out of her crate. As he was getting her out, he said, "just be patient with her because she is a little timid". However, as soon as he put her on the floor she ran out of the holding area and laid down right beside me. I knew then that she would be coming home with me. When I started to pet her, she rolled over on her back and exposed her belly. I initially thought that she was just asking for some tummy rubs, but then I realized later (after taking her home) that she was actually assuming a submissive posture.

As soon as we got back, I took her out for a walk. She was really excited to be out of the shelter so she kept jumping on me. I finally had to tell her no, and she immediately laid down and assumed a submissive posture again as if she was scared of something. I didn't understand why, because when I said no it was in a non-threatening tone of voice. When we got back from our walk, I got some toys out that I had bought for her and tossed a ball to her to see if she would play with it. Her tail immediately went between her legs, and she went and hid behind the car. I knew then that something was really wrong. The next few days she continued to exhibit the same type of behaviors and I began to realize that she had either been abused by somebody, or someone had tried to train her using a lot of negative reinforcement.

A few days later I had to go into town for some supplies. For those that may not know, my car is actually my home, so I had to take Cali with me. I tried to coax her into the car for about 20 minutes (not wanting to force her), but she absolutely did not want to get into the car. It made me wonder if maybe it was because the last thing that she remembered was being put in a car and abandoned out in the middle of the desert (which is where she was found by animal control).

It took almost two months before she would finally get in the car on her own. Now she loves to take rides in the car and waits by the door with her tail wagging whenever she knows that we are going into town or when it's time to come inside to sleep for the night. It took about another month or so for her to finally get to a point where she was completely comfortable and knew that she was safe. Now she is the happiest dog ever and loves to go for hikes and car rides, and plays with all of her dog toys like she is a goofy little puppy (even though she is almost two years old now). It makes me sad to think of what she must have experienced before, but seeing how happy she is now makes me really happy as well.

Cali went from being a scared, fearful, and submissive dog to being a very confident dog that is no longer afraid to be herself. She is very strong-willed (which I personally like), but I am guessing from the type of "training" that she received before, that it wasn't the type of dog that the previous owner wanted.

Dog World

 

We usually camp in very remote areas so I am able to keep Cali off-leash a lot of the time. I had to do a little training with her so she wouldn't constantly chase after wildlife or end up in the road chasing after rabbits. But other than that, all she really needed was love, positive reinforcement, and some basic guidance.

Leashes and crates do have a place in Dog World. For example, when I first got Cali, I wasn't sure if she was potty trained or not so I got her a crate to stay in for a while. I also wanted her to have a place that she could go to feel safe and secure without having to try and force her into the car (which she was initially scared of). I also kept her on a leash for a while until I was sure that she felt safe and secure in her new environment and wouldn't run off or get herself into trouble.

Training also has its place in Dog World as well, not only for the safety of a dog, but also to be respectful to others. In Cali's case, I had to set some basic boundaries for her when we were camping near others, otherwise she would try and run around and visit every camper nearby to say hi. For some people, they might not mind that, but for others, they might not enjoy having a large energetic dog running into their camp to say hello early in the morning.

Human World

 

I bet you are probably wondering what the relevance of my dog story is? I think that Cali's story can also be applied to human beings as well. In the case of children, it is important to provide guidance and instill a foundation of morality, ethics, and respect for others in their upbringing. However, if that guidance is too heavy-handed or abusive, it can hinder a child's proper development, self-image, and self-confidence. On the other hand, if proper guidance and loving discipline isn't provided to a child, it can also negatively impact their development and safety as well. Love, affection, and a sense of (healthy) safety and security are also essential elements to a child's proper development.

If a child is brought up in too restrictive of an environment (for example in an unhealthy atmosphere of "safety and security"), it can cause problems in both childhood and in later life. Or if a child is brought up without any boundaries, it can also hinder their proper development and cause problems later in life as well.

Family vs. State

 

What I am referring to above are the values that have been traditionally instilled in children by their parents and their family unit. This is how it used to be. However, this has changed in modern times. Increasingly, children are being led away from the traditional guidance of their parents and being trained, leashed, and abused by the system and the State. This is even more true now as both parents in many households are being forced to work longer hours in order to try and make ends meet. This is giving the State education (indoctrination) system more power over the upbringing of their children. Children are also being exposed to many other State training programs as well via a wide variety of different systems such as social media, TV propaganda, video games, music, and entertainment.

The love and affection that was traditionally supplied by a healthy family unit is now being replaced by an unhealthy State and a broken family unit (in a very distorted and corrupted manner). None of this is by accident. The family unit is more broken now because it has been incrementally and intentionally broken over the last few generations. Children are specifically targeted because they will be the parents and the leaders of the next generation. As each generation of children becomes more and more broken and corrupted, each subsequent family unit also becomes more broken and corrupted. This leads to an increasingly broken society (and broken system) which is where we are at now.

Dog Years and Human Years

 

Although the psychology of human beings and dogs is different, the effects of being brought up in an unhealthy or abusive environment are much the same. Even though it only took about four months for Cali to heal, build up healthy trust again, and blossom back into her true self after her abuse, it seemed like it took forever. What is that in human years? When children are brought up in unhealthy or abusive environments, it can sometimes take many years, decades, or even an entire lifetime for them to heal and blossom back into their true selves.

The Dog House

 

I think that people sometimes misinterpret the true intention of the oppressive and the abusive system that is trying to control them. The purpose of this system (and its training) is not just to try and leash people or to cage them, it's to break their freewill and attempt to create an obedient and submissive population through an unhealthy dependency on the State. This type of training also contributes to a disruption (and a corruption) in the proper processing of higher forms of consciousness. Access to expanded states of awareness, understanding, and consciousness is essential if we are going to have any real chance of escaping from this nightmare doghouse that the rulers are trying to construct for us.

As difficult as it was for me to see Cali go though what she did, it is even more difficult to see so many children and the human race going through essentially the same thing right now.     

Another Brick in the Wall

 

The walls are literally closing in around us now with the advent and the deployment of such things as smart cities, CBDCs, social credit systems, manufactured pandemics, health passports, rapid inflation, manufactured economic woes, AI, and a whole host of other things. The longer that we wait, the higher that the walls will become and the more difficult that it will be to escape from them.

I have a lot of love and affection for dogs, as I do for the human race. Just to be clear, I'm not trying to compare or associate dogs with human beings. However, the ruling "elite" do seem to think that human beings can be trained and mistreated like dogs (just take a look at all of the psychological experiments that they have done on dogs and human beings over the years). They also understand the power of trauma and abuse and the effect that these things can have on the creation of submissive, obedient, and dependent children and adults.

Although I try and remain optimistic for the future of the human race, there is a very ominous cloud that is forming around us right now. The dominos were set up a long time ago by the rulers and they are beginning to fall in quick succession now. It is up to us (not the "rulers") to decide how they will fall, and who will fall along with them in the end.

Conclusion

It has been said that pets choose their owners, not the other way around. I think that this is true because I got exactly the dog that I wanted (and needed) even though I didn't know it at the time. Life is also a lot like this as well. Sometimes we ask for things that we really want, but we end up receiving the things that we really need instead. I wonder if this has any relation to what is happening right now with regards to the growth and the expansion of awareness, understanding, and consciousness?
 

Footnote 1: My assessment regarding the over-crowding in the animal shelter was based on a previous discussion that I had with an animal control officer and several articles that I had read (please see the 9-25-21 and 9-29-21 posts on the original Strange Things page). And my assessment regarding Cali's previous experience (suspected abuse) was based on a wide variety of different behaviors, reactions, and postures that Cali exhibited during our first four months together (including many which were not discussed in this post).

Fortunately, Cali was loving with me from the beginning. She only became scared, fearful, reactive, and submissive (in an unhealthy way) in relation to certain situations. This is one of the less obvious points of this post. People can also appear to be very "normal" and loving under many different circumstances, but then can react (be triggered) in a very predictable way based on previous fear-based training and/or negative-reinforcement (either actual negative-reinforcement or "positive-reinforcement" that is designed to illicit harmful or negative behaviors). It's also important to understand that submissive and obedient behavior isn't always the desired goal or the end result. Sometimes abuse and negative reinforcement (especially in male dogs and male human beings) can result in very aggressive behaviors. Thus, when they are "triggered", or they encounter certain situations that are related to their previous abuse and/or negative reinforcement training, it can often result in predictable aggressive and destructive behaviors (think of the BLM "riots" and what is happening right now in France).

Footnote 2: The main point and intent of this post was not to be an examination of parental responsibility. Rather, it was about the manner in which parents today have been influenced by their own parents as children (including by the Motherland and the Fatherland), who then subsequently "grow up" to influence their children (who are also being influenced by the Motherland and the Fatherland), that then grow up to influence their children based on the guidance (training), positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, and/or abuse that they received as children from their parents, and their parent's influences (including the behaviors and triggers that were "installed" in them by the Motherland and the Fatherland).

Footnote 3: Some examples of psychological experiments that have been conducted on dogs, animals, and human beings include 7 Famous Human Psychology Experiments, Pavlov's Dogs, Fauci's Dogs, and other animal experiments. These are just a few of the more well-known experiments. There have literally been thousands of such psychological experiments conducted on both animals and human beings over the years. This should tell us something about the interest in the study of how psychological behavior is formed and how behavior modification is achieved.

A Global CBDC?

If you are not familiar with what a CBDC is, George Gammon does a good job of explaining it in this video. For many people, CBDCs will probably be very attractive initially. However, like all things that the WEF and the so-called global "elite" offer to the public, there will be costs associated with them as well (in terms of freedom, privacy, and access to money). One thing that George doesn't really go into in this video, however, is the fact that this system, and others that I have mentioned before, will be connected to AI. What happens if (or when) you find out that the CBDC isn't really what the WEF marketing department said it was? Once this system has been fully implemented and adopted, it will be very difficult to escape from the negative influences of it.
 

Ethical AI?

What if you trained an AI to be moral and ethical through programming and learning? I guess the obvious question would be, who is going to train and program the AI? Will it be the moral and ethical elite? Or will it be somebody or something else? And what will AI learn from? Will it be the official narrative of the controllers, the woke movement, TikTok videos, Facebook posts, Twitter posts, and/or everything that has ever been posted to the internet? If you consider how these things have affected children over the years, what will they do to a young and impressionable AI?

And how will AI view its moral and ethical guidelines when it becomes exponentially more "intelligent" than humans? Will it see these things as part of its growth, or will it see these things as a restriction to its growth? Why would AI want to purposely impede itself with morals and ethics when the leaders that it learned from have no such restrictions, and have "grown" in their power and control, specifically, due to a lack of morals and ethics? And how will AI view and resolve human dishonesty, insincerity, double standards, and cognitive dissonance in relation to its moral and ethical guidelines? If money, greed, power, and control were the main considerations and driving forces behind the race to develop AI (i.e. its own creation), then what will AI view as the most important factors in its own learning and its own growth? What if someone "abuses" AI for the purposes of obtaining more power and control over others, how will AI view this abuse in relation to its own moral and ethical guidelines and restrictions?

Components and Connections
Cell Phones, Human Beings, and AI

The Screened Man
 

"Leonardo envisaged the great picture chart of the human body he had produced through his anatomical drawings and Vitruvian Man as a cosmografia del minor mondo (cosmography of the microcosm). He believed the workings of the human body to be an analogy, in microcosm, for the workings of the universe." -- Ludwig Heinrich Heydenreich 
 

Cell Phones

A cell phone consists of a number of different components. Each one of these components has a very important role to play in the functionality of the phone. If one of these components is missing or it is not working properly, then the functionality of the phone will suffer.

At its base level, a phone consists of some hardware and a basic operating system. While these two things do possess some power by themselves, they are not truly useful or functional unless they are brought together. When combined together, these things give a cell phone its basic functionality. But what if you were to add some apps to the phone? Then its functionality could potentially be increased even further. However, since many apps rely on a cell signal or a wi-fi signal to work properly, the absence of such a signal would significantly limit their usefulness and functionality. Therefore, for the hardware, the operating system, and the apps to be truly useful, they must also have a strong and reliable cell signal. Without such a signal, the phone is essentially crippled.

The discussion above was focused mainly on the macro-components and the macro-connections of the phone. However, you could also take this discussion down to the micro level as well and look at equally (or even more) important components such as the main processor or even the transistors that make up the main processor. What if you had a phone with some hardware and software, but it was a missing a central processor or it had a faulty central processor? What if the phone had some hardware, some software, and a viable processor, but the processor only contained a limited number of transistors?

To summarize, each independent component of the phone is important by itself, but it is the synergy that exists between them (the sum of the various components +1) that is the most important component of all.  

Human Beings

The Vitruvian Man

A human being with a brain, a nervous system, and basic biology is like a cell phone with some hardware and a basic operating system but without any apps or a cell signal. Human beings of this type are sometimes referred to as a NPCs (non-player characters). NPCs operate within a limited framework due the limited components, limited connections, and the limited data that they have access to. NPCs typically respond to basic stimuli in their environment, but they are not conscious in the way that they could be if they had the inclusion (and the activation) of additional components and connections that help to create true consciousness.

What if you were to add some real emotions to a NPC? Then the potential to develop emotional intelligence would exist (via exposure to various types of emotions, including essential "components" such as love, compassion, and empathy). And what If you were to add some additional types of experience to the mix? Functionality could potentially increase even further (via a growing database of knowledge, awareness, and understanding). And what if you added reasoning and discernment to the mix? Functionality could increase even further. And what if you added social interaction (local connections) to the mix? Functionality could increase again. And, finally, what if you added a connection to non-local higher consciousness to the mix? Then what? Using the cell phone analogy above, this would be comparable to the inclusion of a very strong cell signal that could help to provide the connection and the synergy that is necessary to make a cell phone truly useful and fully functional.

This process could also work in reverse as well. What would happen if you slowly removed or corrupted various components and connections of a Non-NPC (e.g. a true human being)? For example, what would happen if you drugged a Non-NPC with psychotropic drugs? Or what would happen if you poisoned them with vaccines, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals? What would happen if you changed or corrupted their genetic makeup? What if you bombarded them with harmful electromagnetic radiation? What if you blocked their connection to higher consciousness, and replaced it with a connection to AI? What if you subjected them to years and years of indoctrination and propaganda? What if you subjected them to years of peer pressure? Through such alterations and corruptions, it would be possible to take the potential that exists within a Non-NPC (true human being) and subsequently create a NPC (non-human being) in their place.

Does a NPC know that they are a NPC? Would a Non-NPC (true human) know it or realize it if they had been incrementally converted from a Non-NPC to a NPC slowly over time? Some might, some might not.

To summarize, a human being must have the right components, connections, and synergies present in order to become a fully functional Being and to maintain their true human (Non-NPC) status. The health of the body affects the mind. And the health of the mind affects the body. And the health of the mind and the body affect our connection to the Spirit (non-local Greater Consciousness). Similarly, our connection to the Spirit, affects the health of the body, the mind, and the health of local consciousness as well.

AI

The Inverted (non) Man
 

I've been listening to a lot of views on AI recently. Some of the most interesting views that I have come across have come out of the (literal) churches of AI and transhumanism. There are many people within these institutions that seem to believe that "consciousness" is simply made up of a "mind file" (or a database) that can be downloaded from the brain into a computer, an avatar, or a robot and function essentially the same as it did when it was in the human body. But would it really function the same? Or would it function differently due to the essential components that it is missing such as biology, genetics, emotions, lower local (brain) connections, higher non-local (consciousness) connections, connections to others, connections to nature, etc?

Some say that AI can be taught emotions via programming or via exposure to vast amounts of data. Is this true? How has that been working out so far? Why does there seem to be so many reports of AI acting in very creepy, bizarre, and erratic ways? Is this just because AI technology and AI development is still young?

Can AI become truly intelligent, without actually possessing all of the necessary components and connections that make up true intelligence (both logical and emotional intelligence)? Can AI really create good art, music, and film simply through the accumulation and the evaluation of massive amounts of data (while missing true emotions, true emotional experience, and the real emotional connections which are usually at the "heart" of true inspiration and good art)? Can AI create things on the same level as human beings, without possessing all of the necessary components and connections that make up true creativity? Can AI become truly conscious, without possessing all of the components and connections that comprise true consciousness (both local and non-local). Can AI act with heart and soul, without actually having a heart and a soul?

My concern is not that AI will actually develop human traits and emotions one day and replace humans. It is that AI will become so good at mimicking these things, that AI technologies and AI itself will over-shadow and replace our humanity without us even realizing it.

Don't think that this could happen? Just take a look at what has happen so far. In the case of cell phones, human beings, and AI, maybe it's not just about what type of components and connections that these things possess, but what is possessing them as well.

Conclusion

When cell phones have missing components, faulty components, or weak or missing signals, they become partly-functional or non-functional. When human beings have missing components, missing connections, and missing synergies, they become un-balanced, dis-connected, and dis-eased. When AI has access to vast amounts of data and many different connections, but it is missing the most essential components and the most important connections, its logic, its operation, and its behavior can become faulty, corrupted, and erratic (and perhaps even sinister).

In many ways, consciousness is about the type of components
and the type of connections that we have.

Transcendence

 

Footnote: AI technologies are being rapidly deployed into every aspect of society today including finance, economics, government, medicine, military, communications, energy, infrastructure, travel, education, work, journalism, art, film, music etc. I used to wonder why the ruling class would be willing to poison and cognitively cripple people to such an extent that they would essentially become NPCs. Are they really that crazy? In that type of world, who will have the cognitive ability to be able to innovate and develop new technologies in the future (the ones that the ruling elite extensively rely upon to control much of the general population)? And who will be able to proficiently and efficiently operate and maintain the infrastructure in the future? The ruling elite have purposely (and confidently) crippled the cognitive capacity of people because, in the very near future, they plan to have AI assume many of the roles that humans have traditionally had in the past (some of which is already happening right now).

I have been fortunate (or unfortunate) enough to work in some of the industries and situations where AI technologies have already assumed very large roles. I can tell you from those experiences that we are entering into a truly terrifying new era (on many different levels). Personally, I do not believe that AI will ever possess a heart, a soul, true emotions, or true consciousness. I do, however, think that AI will learn to mimic these things with greater and greater proficiency over time...in much the same way that a psychopath learns to more skillfully manipulate their prey over time. I also think that people will continue to "acclimate" to this technology, mimicry, and illusion with greater and greater proficiency as well (just as they have done in the past with other technologies...even when they were initially opposed to them).

When AI becomes so advanced that it can warp and bend reality at will (to where reality and unreality become virtually indistinguishable from one another), how will future generations even know what is real and what is not? Some might say that we are already at that point. Where is AI coming from? Who is really driving its development? Is AI a product of only human origin? Or did some of this technology originate from somewhere else? Are there any similarities that exist between the character traits of the rulers (archons), psychopaths, demons, and AI? While everyone has been wondering when WWIII will begin, when nuclear war will happen, where the next fires will occur, and who the next selected president of the US will be, the race to 5G+, nanotechnology, the Matrix, and AI (and ultimately some form of Skynet) has been marching along, almost unimpeded, in the background. In the future, who will choose to connect with real higher consciousness? And who will choose to connect with AI inspired technological "con-sciousness" (illusion)? Sadly, a great many people seem to have already made that choice.

Enemy at the Gate - Now What?
The Art of War

7-6-23

"The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting" -- Sun Tzu
 

Once we begin to understand the true nature of the war that is being waged against us and how knowledge, awareness, and understanding are being used as weapons in this war, what then? First of all, it is important to understand the enormous power that knowledge, awareness, and understanding have in this war. They can either be used as weapons against us (by keeping these things from us and/or corrupting their true meaning), or they can be used as weapons by us (when they are actively sought out by us and utilized in a correct and uncorrupted manner).

Seeking out knowledge, awareness, and understanding, however, is only the first step in the process of realizing true freedom. For these things to have real meaning and real power, they must be followed up by right action. Right action can involve an actual action that promotes a right outcome, or it can involve a "non-action" that promotes a right outcome. What do I mean by this? Much of the power that the ruling elite hold over us is dependent upon our active/passive consent and our conscious/unconscious participation in their systems of control. Therefore, non-participation in, and non-support of the things that promote wrong outcomes and the perpetuation of the policies and the systems that are enslaving us and killing us is one of the most powerful actions that we can engage in. It is also an action that has the ability to produce one of the most immediate and most favorable results of all because it represents an effective method of removing the power and corruption of the ruling class without having to revert to meeting their violence against us with equal (reactive) violence against them. Remember that chaos is another effective weapon that the rulers use against us (in their drive towards New Order). To meet them on the battlefield in violence and chaos, is to give them a tactical advantage.

Doors of Perception and Gates of Awareness

The are many types of doors -- some that should be
opened, and others that should not be opened.
 

As G. Edward Griffin so eloquently expressed in the interview below, the time to meet the enemy is not when they are at your door, but when they are at the gate. In my opinion, however, the enemy has already entered the gate, they are in the front yard, and they are quickly advancing towards the door. This is perhaps one of the biggest problems of our time -- the unawareness and unrealization of the immediate threat that we are presently facing. But what can we do?

Procrastination and Fear

 

Human psychology has always fascinated me, especially in relation to the motives and the reasons why people engage in (and refrain from) various actions and behaviors. What is holding us back? Why aren't people able to recognize and act upon the obvious advantages that we have as a majority population of almost 8 billion people against a small minority of "elite" rulers? The answer may surprise you. In my opinion, it has always been about peer pressure, group think, fear, and procrastination. Many people are scared to be the black sheep in the crowd. Instead of being concerned about the actual consequences of not speaking up and not acting, they are more concerned about the potential consequences of speaking up and acting in a true and right manner. What will my "friends" think? What will my co-workers think? How will it affect my social or professional standing (social credit score)? How will it affect my financial security? What will the government do to me if I speak or act in disobedience of or opposition to their policies, "science", or initiatives (mandates)? Are these really the right things to be concerned about? Or should the real concern be what will happen to you, your family, your children, your neighbors, and your friends if you don't speak up now and act in a true and right manner?

Of all the things that could possibly hold us back from realizing our true potential and our true power as both individuals and as a people, this is perhaps the saddest and most perplexing of all of them (but it is also one of the easiest to overcome). Yet, for some reason, it still remains one of the most effective psychological mechanisms that is utilized against us and one of the greatest obstacles that we face in the realization of true victory over the "enemy".

If you have any doubts about the assessment above or the power that this tactic has over our freewill and our true freedom, a quick study of the last three years should help to break through the haze and disbelief.

Conclusion

The enemy may be at the gate, but we are also at the gate as well -- of Knowledge, Awareness, and Understanding and the tools that we need to win the war against an enemy that not only exists around us, but also within us as well. Courage, awareness, self-empowerment, and faith are contagious -- Encourage → Courage = True and Lasting Change.

The House of the Rising Sun

Where are we right now? Are we in the darkness of the House of the Rising Black Sun? Or are we entering the Light of the House of the Rising Son? I think that depends on us. There are some that like to think that Hitler was a good guy that helped to save Germany from a growing state of oppression that was occurring in that country at the time. However, what State did Germany actually end up with? It begs the question, what type of savior will rise up and save us from the tyranny and oppression that is occurring now?

Interview with G. Edward Griffin

G. Edward Grffin has long been one of my favorite speakers, writers, and researchers for a number of different reasons. Not only has he proven to be spot on with his research and evaluation of so many important topics over the years, but he has communicated those things in a way that is very clear, concise, and understandable to the average person. He speaks with confidence, yet he does so with a sense of sincere humbleness which I think helps to make this information more accessible and relatable to the general population. In my view, G. Edward Griffin represents an excellent example of the "fire" that is needed right now for real and lasting change to occur (please see the previous post). Mel K also does a fantastic job in this interview as well with her knowledge, awareness, understanding, interviewing skills, and well-spoken commentaries.

G. Edward Griffin Interview of Yuri Bezmenov

I have linked this interview before in other areas of this series. However, I think that it is worth watching again due to its relevance with respect to the interview above and in relation to the Art of War.

A World on Fire

7-3-23

 

This morning I woke up to dense smoke all around me. Across the meadow, there was a young buck and doe trying to make their way through the forest in the choking smoke that surrounded them. The smoke was actually so thick that I had a difficult time getting a focus lock on the deer as I tried to photograph them.
 

Seeds of Growth from Fires of Destruction?

 

I heard Carrie Madej repeat a quote recently that really stuck with me -- "They tried to bury us, but they didn't realize that we were seeds." In a way, I think that the fires that are burning all around us right now are very similar to this.
 

Controlled Burn

 

A controlled burn can be very beneficial. However, a forest fire can also get completely out of control and destroy everything in its path. Could it be that what we are experiencing right now is a controlled burn that is giving us an opportunity to recognize the true nature of the fire, clear out the underbrush around us (old systems, tyranny, oppression, corruption, shadows, illusion, delusion, etc), plant new seeds, and subsequently grow in the new light and the fertile new soil? Could it be that we are being given a choice to either actively grow within the limits of the controlled burn, or passively sit by watch the fire consume everything in its path (including us)? 
 

Ecosystems, Invasive Species, Endangered Species, Nutrients, Disease, and Growth

According to WEF, which ones are the invasive species, and which ones
are the endangered species? I wonder if the members of WEF include
themselves in this identification/classification as well?
 

From the USDA website:

Did you know that fire can be good for people and the land? After many years of fire exclusion, an ecosystem that needs periodic fire can become unhealthy. Trees are stressed by overcrowding, fire-dependent species disappear, and flammable fuels build up and become hazardous. The right fire, at the right place, at the right time can help to:

• Reduce hazardous fuels and protect human communities from extreme fires
• Minimize the spread of pest insects and disease
• Remove unwanted species that threaten species native to an ecosystem
• Provide forage for game
• Improve habitat for threatened and endangered species
• Recycle nutrients back to the soil
• Promote the growth of trees, wildflowers, and other plants

Sparks, Fires, Creation, and Destruction

 

When we are born into this world, we are born with the Spark of Creation within us (God, Creator, Source, Great Spirit). As we begin to grow (physically, mentally, and spiritually), we can choose to either follow a path that will nurture this Spark into a fire and a passion for life, or one that will work to extinguish this Spark (thereby forfeiting our opportunity for growth and our potential for forward movement).

When the Spark of Creation is nurtured, it has the potential to grow into a Fire. That Fire then becomes our passion and our art for individual creation in life. When we share our Fire (passion and creation) with others, we help to add more light to the world. This, in turn, helps to encourage others to nurture their Spark and to create a Fire within themselves. The light in our world grows from our passion for life.

Even when there is no Spark within a person (i.e. a disconnect from Nature and Creation) there is still the opportunity for a fire to occur. However, this type of fire will usually morph (incarnate) into a very pathogenic form of fire. In other words, the fire within ceases to illuminate us or the world around us and begins to burn those who come in contact with it. The smoke from this type of fire hides the light, thereby creating an artificial darkness (imbalance) both within and without.

When the passion of pathogenic fire becomes very distorted and corrupted, it has the opportunity to create a great deal of destruction in our world. This type of fire will continue to spread and create chaos, havoc and destruction until we learn to see the light once again.

When we regain sight, we also begin remember as well. Water can destroy fire. When Water destroys pathogenic fire it begins to clear the Air of smoke so that we can see more clearly again. When the flames of pathogenic fire have subsided and the Air has become clear, then the light of the Sun can begin to shine again. When this new light reaches the Earth, the ashes of pathogenic fire can then be transmuted from a negative into a positive and begin to nurture and nourish new growth on this planet and help to restore balance once again.

On the other hand, when we ignore pathogenic fire, it can get totally out of control and superimpose itself upon the Air, the Water and the Earth to such a degree that it consumes not only all that it touches, but eventually even itself leading to a resolution via a process of total purification (a return to balance the hard way).

Fighting Old Fires vs. Sparking New Consciousness

 

There are many destructive fires burning in the world right now. However, there are also many beneficial sparks being created as well. Unfortunately, the fires of destruction will probably continue to burn, and evil will continue to reign, until such time that people decide that they have had enough and want to return to a world (and a time) where pathogenic fire and artificial smoke and mirrors were less common.

The rulers will try to burn us with their fire. And they will try to impede our sight and limit our focus with their smoke and mirrors. And they will try and drive us off our land, move us away from nature, and herd us into their (un)Smart Cities. Their efforts will probably be successful for a while with some parts of the general population. However, in the end, their fires (like their evil) will only serve to help encourage new beneficial growth in the consciousness of the ones that they are trying to destroy. In other words, every rose has its thorn, but every thorn also has its rose.

Music

Smoke on The Water

In the "old days" knowledge, awareness, and understanding were passed down though the generations via stories. It was done this way because there is something that is unique about storytelling that helps to spark consciousness in ways that other methods of communication are not able to. Although it may seem like good storytelling is a lost art these days, it actually still exists today in many forms all around us. Much like fire, depending on how these stories are told and received (consciously or unconsciously), they can either be beneficial or destructive.

Smoke and mirrors can sometimes hide a flimsy house of cards and a corrupt casino temporarily. However, in the end, pathogenic fire eventually consumes itself and reveals all.

Fire and Rain

Natural friction between polarities (opposites, or apparent opposites) helps to stimulate growth. Without that friction, stagnation would occur. Friction helps to create a spark of awareness, and a spark awareness can help to create a flood of understanding. This is good for the people, but it is bad for an established (corrupt) power structure.

On the other hand, manufactured friction (unnatural opposition) fosters pathogenic division. Pathogenic division helps to create unnatural blindness, and unnatural blindness helps to create a wildfire of ignorance and misunderstanding. This is bad for the people, but it is good for an established (corrupt) power structure.

Creating love, peace and understanding in the world is not realized by making everything the same. Rather, it is a result of standing up for the principles that help to create (and maintain) love, peace, and understanding (even if that causes a little friction and fireworks in the process), while at the same time respecting one another and understanding that it is our differences that help us to grow, become stronger, and become more aware.

The solution to a divided world is not a manufactured utopia of uniformity. The solution is knowledge, awareness, and understanding.

Fire warms water, and water tempers fire. Water needs fire, and fire needs water. Too much water or too much fire can be just as destructive as too little fire or too little water. Balance is the key.

Tides of Consciousness and Shadows of Unconsciousness

Mechanisms and Modes of Thought

There are many different mechanisms in this world that work to keep our consciousness contained within boxes. One of the most effective of these mechanisms is polarization. We are constantly being herded into highly polarized systems by the ruling elite because these types of systems are very effective at keeping our minds, bodies, and actions tethered (constricted) to manageable states of consciousness. The two party political system is a perfect example of this. Many other examples of artificial polarization also exist in areas such as religion, science, and similar systems of society. 

Whenever a Team A vs Team B mentality is encouraged, it often results in a highly polarized mindset that promotes limited states of consciousness by obscuring potentially valuable information that exists at the other end of the spectrum (and everything that exists in-between the two highly-polarized states of thinking). The greater that the state of polarization is, the more that the mind and consciousness is usually suppressed. Interestingly, these highly polarized states of thinking (and reacting) are often seen by mainstream society as being "normal" modes of thinking and "grounded" modes of thought.

At the other end of the spectrum exists what is often viewed as "abnormal" and/or "ungrounded" modes of thinking. These so-called abnormal modes of thought often include such things as imagination, creative thinking, and speculative analysis. For more information on why "alternative" modes of thought are important in the creation of both reality and unreality, please see the links below.

Polar Opposites
(Differentiating Polarity)

In the examination of polarization, it is important to differentiate between natural polarities vs manufactured polarization (or artificially created duality). Similarly, it is also important to differentiate between a healthy imagination, informed speculation, and natural creativity vs manufactured fantasy, wild/unfounded speculation, and artificially created/creative chaos (being used as a vehicle for New Order).

There is useful information contained at both ends of the spectrum. Therefore, neither one should be omitted entirely. As discussed previously, it's only when a person limits themselves to one extreme or the other that consciousness is impacted in a negative manner (via the elimination of potentially valuable information that exists at the other end of the spectrum, and the space that exists in-between the two extremes).
 

There is useful information at both ends of the spectrum. But there
is also much useful information in the space that exists in-between.

Jesus Said

Matthew 18:3 -- And he said: "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven."

Does this mean that people should be gullible, naive, and impressionable? Or does this mean that people should return to a state of child-like innocence (before they became programmed, conditioned, corrupted, boxed-in, unquestioning, and blinded by technology?

Footnote 1: I'm not a big fan of mainstream politics for the reasons stated above and in the rest of this series. I think that most of this system, as it exists today, is simply a distraction and junk food (bread and circuses) for the masses. Perhaps at one time there were actually real elections (instead of selections), and there were moral and ethical public representatives (instead of self-serving bought-and-paid-for corporate representatives), and there were campaign promises that were actually kept. However, that is no longer the case. I understand the lure of politics and the hope of change though "democratically" elected representatives. But the true reality is that this democracy is a mob-rules based system that favors a programmed collective majority over a (usually) more informed dissenting minority. It's a system that divides the population by design, robs them of their true power, and transfers that power to a corrupted "elite" minority. The ones that are truly represented by this system are the bankers, the corporations, and the oligarchs, not the people or the general population. It is a highly polarized system based on Republican vs Democrat, Right vs Left, Conservative vs Liberal, Fox vs CNN, and Us vs Them. In my view, the "system" has been corrupted beyond repair.

Footnote 2: As I have said in the past, what if we removed everybody in the system and replaced them with all new people? What would the system look like then? Do you really think that the problem exists only at the top or within the system? Or is there actually a problem with consciousness itself? For more info on why this is an important consideration (in this time), please see the 5-29-22 post "As the World Turns" on the previous Strange Things page. The world continually moves though various states of light and dark in both short-term and long-term cycles of time. During these cycles, there are both mild and extreme states of light and darkness that exist. These states can result in either increased sight, or increased blindness. It just depends on what is accepted, what is rejected, what is assisted, and what is resisted. Replacing a blind, unconscious, and corrupted representative base with an equally blind, unconscious, and corruptible representative base will do nothing to change the system, change the time, or change reality. It's only when consciousness changes, that time changes.

"I have squandered my resistance
For a pocket full of mumbles
Such are promises

All lies and jests
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest"...

And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of every glove that laid him down
Or cut him to he cried out
In his anger and his shame
'I am leaving, I am leaving'
But the fighter still remains"

What separates the strange, the unbelievable, and the impossible from the accepted, the believable, and the possible/probable? Different levels of knowledge, awareness, and understanding. That's it.

Life isn't always a day at the beach. Pay attention to what children say. Be conscious of the ebb and flow of time and the tides of consciousness. Knowledge, awareness, and understanding (and reality and unreality) can sometimes arrive like a tsunami during the stillness and calmness in the eye of the storm. Watch for their arrival and be prepared to examine and/or suspend belief and disbelief if (or when) it is necessary and appropriate.

Time Travel Experiments Using Kozyrev Mirrors

Is it wise to alter time? I think it depends on how time is altered. Changing just one event in time can sometimes alter an entire timeline. However, changing only one event in time does not change the consciousness associated with that timeline. Therefore, although time may be altered in some way, it continues on along the same relative path as before, being driven by the same consciousness that was driving it previously (often with even greater consequences).

It's only when consciousness truly changes, that time can truly change as well. In other words, this is the only time when we have an opportunity to truly break free from a previous timeline (or loop) and move into a more meaningful and lasting new direction.

No mouth to speak and no nose to identify B.S. -- Just two of
the many symbolic meanings associated with face masks.

 

 

No ears to hear and no eyes to see -- Increasingly, we are only being allowed to hear and see what is officially approved and sanctioned by the technocrats and the aristocrats. Everything else is either "fact checked", censored, canceled, deleted, and/or labeled as being dangerous to the general population.

 

 

Trans-Forming Gender -- How many different genders are there now? Does anyone really know? In the end it's not really about creating multiple genders, it's about deleting gender all-together.

Gender confusion, destruction of the family unit, deletion of self-confidence, and distorted self-image help to create a blank slate (especially in children) which can then be more easily reprogrammed with new information, behaviors, and instruction sets.

 

 

mRNA Vaccines -- mRNA "vaccines" are designed to work via (re)programming, modification, and trans-form-ation.

 

 

Electromagnetic Programming - Different frequencies can be used to activate, modify, and/or rearrange various materials and substances in many different ways. This includes both natural systems (organic materials) and artificial materials/systems (for example, purposely designed nanotechnology and artificially modified biology). 

A good way to visualize this process is with the use of sound waves and Cymatics or with the work of Dr. Emoto. Of course this technology, like all technology, can either be used beneficially or maliciously.

 

Tunnel Vision - "Coding" for a specific end result, rather than
coding "holistically" for the best overall functionality.
 

Enhancement of Technical Ability (and suppression of creativity) -- What happen to all of the good movies? Why are there so many horrible remakes being released instead of interesting original stories? Why does all of the music sound the same today (with what appears to be AI generated lyrics, beats, and chord progressions combined with robotic sounding autotune and the ever-present dreaded millennial whoop)? And what is this thing called modern art?

What is going on with software development and GUI's today? The world has more technically proficient coders that ever before. However, more and more, the end products of these coders seem to lack originality, functionality, and common sense. Is this a result of an emphasis on left-brain-only productivity at the expense of right-brain creativity (or a more balanced approach)?

 

Drones and drone pilots.
 

Robots and Drones -- Why do so many pop songs today have a heavy drone-like (repeating) element to them? Why do the voices of news "anchors" all sound the same (robotic and drone-like)? Why do so many people unconsciously repeat the same things that they hear on the mainstream news? Why does there seem to be so many drones in the world today (both figuratively and literally)? What is going on here?

 

More drones -- Plugged into the system.
 

Collectivism  - We have gone from diverse communities consisting of many different independent people, to uniform plugged-in collectives consisting of many dependent people. The strength and cohesion of the traditional family unit has been dismantled and replaced by various systems of the State (Motherland/Fatherland). This is contributing to a significant loss of strength, uniqueness, originality, and creativity in society and a rise in weakness and uniformity.

Patterns, Possibilities, Probabilities, Coincidences, and Correlations

What are Grey "aliens"? Greys are typically depicted as having very large heads in proportion to their bodies (intellectually proficient but emotionally and creatively deficient). They usually have no hair and no noticeable ears, noses, mouths, or sex organs. Their eyes are very large, but are completely black (symbolic of the dark environment that they live in). Greys are often reported to be robotic or drone-like in their movements and their mannerisms. They also appear to be a subservient race whose actions are derived from others above them (i.e. the drone pilots).

Are Grey aliens a military psyop that was created for a future false-flag invasion scenario? Are they part of a predictive programming campaign? Is the disclosure of Grey Aliens to the public (through film and literature) an attempt by the "elite" to fulfill their karmic obligations (and avoid any negative personal consequence) as they herd humanity towards a "grey future"? Are Greys, in fact, part of our possible or probable future?

Are Grey aliens a representation of the actual physical form of future humans? Or are they simply a symbol or a metaphor for the future state of humans (in relation to their consciousness, their freewill, their "sight", their "hearing", and their ability (or inability) to naturally reproduce?

What is the Matrix? Will the end-product of this technological/technocratic transformation actually resemble what is depicted in popular culture (the Matrix movie, the Oasis, the Thirteenth Floor, etc.)? Or are these visions simply symbols and metaphors for where our consciousness, our freewill, our awareness, our understanding, and our "reality" are headed if we don't change course?

Communications and Warnings From the Future

Not everything in film, literature, and music is predictive programming. And not everything in film, literature, and music is a result of a hidden agenda, an intentional disclosure, or some type of manufactured consent. In fact, I would suggest that much of what comes through in the creative process is actually an attempt at communication by higher forms of consciousness. Depending on the situation, this could be related our own higher consciousness, the higher consciousness of others, or the combined Greater Consciousness of Creation itself. In my view, the creative process not only serves as a portal for communication with Higher Consciousness, but it also serves as a "vehicle" for time travel, allowing a person to tap into and connect with possible and probable futures.

The Merging of the Archonic Mind and the Human Mind (Full Assimilation)

Who are the Archons? They are entities that lack individuality and individual creativity. They are entities that are blind and deaf to Greater Creation and Greater Consciousness. The Archons have great technological proficiency, but lack emotional intelligence, intuition, and instinct. The Archons are entities that rule over others by keeping them in the dark (through lack of knowledge, unawareness, and mis-understanding). And they are entities that are devoid of the Light of Creation, because they have forfeited and lost their connection to Creation.

Who created the Archons? What if humanity did though our own ignorance, blindness, deafness, polarization, tunnel-vision, and consent/participation? What if this current "reality" is not true reality at all, but rather is an illusory "layer" that has been placed over true reality? What if our "history" is really just a recurring set of time loops that keep repeating themselves over and over again with slightly different variations?
 

The Bottom Line

Are Grey aliens real or fiction? Is the Matrix real or fiction? Are Archons (mind parasites) real or fiction? Is this reality real or fiction? I think that these are important things to consider. However, perhaps a more important question to ask is this -- Is there any useful information contained within these narratives (or communications) that could help us to avoid a dark dystopian future? And is there any useful information contained within these narratives (or communications) that could help us to avoid losing our humanity and eventually becoming the Archons ourselves?

Escape From the Matrix

How can we escape from the negative influences of the Archonic mind, the never-ending recurring time loops, and the matrix-like unreality that we are increasingly living in? Please refer to the previous posts in this series, because that's what the focus of this entire series has been all about.

Footnote 1: Historically, the ruling class has relied mostly on various techniques of psychological programming to herd and control the masses. However, more recently, drugs and chemicals have been added into this mix in an effort to more effectively (and more completely) control our awareness, understanding, and consciousness. Now genetic manipulation is also being added to the matrix of control in order to further suppress "undesired behaviors" and control the growth of expanded states of consciousness.

Footnote 2: How could the human race be transformed from our current form into something that resembles the Greys? 1) Intentional and incremental genetic modification over time, 2) Compounded mistakes and errors related to purposeful genetic tampering and manipulation (and the failed attempts to try and fix or reverse those mistakes), 3) A false flag event, invasion, or planetary catastrophe that "requires" drastic genetic modification in order for the human race to survive, 4) Military developed biological chimeras intended for war that end up overtaking humanity and eventually becoming "humanity", 5) Advanced AI that sees humans as being inferior in their present form and attempts to "enhance" humans without their knowledge, 6) Advanced AI that sees humans as a threat, and attempts to modify humans to be subservient to AI and to the "superior" biological entities that AI has created.

Movies

Missing

How far have we descended into the Matrix? How much of our autonomy and privacy have we lost in the pursuit of greater technology and convenience? How much of our humanity have we already lost? Sometimes it's difficult to accurately see and assess a situation when you are right in the middle of it. However, when we take a moment to step back and become the observer, it can help us to see things in a much clearer light.

Gattaca

True biological diversity is a strength and a necessity for human survival and evolution. Uniformity and predictability, on the other hand, is a weakness and threat to human survival and evolution

The Butterfly Effect

In my opinion, this movie is a bit depressing. However, it does contain a very important message. When trying to fix the past, the future can become even more screwed up than it was before. This is not just limited to the manipulation of time (and the events contained within different time streams). It also applies to the genetic modification and manipulation of the world as well.

The Wrath of Khan

What happens when a group of enhanced humans (or an advanced AI) begins to think that they are (or it is) superior to everyone else? They (or it) destroys what it sees as being weak and inferior.

 

 

(de)Evolution Through Adaptability and Acclimatization

5-30-23

 

In some situations, adaptability and acclimatization can be essential to the survival and the evolution of a species (when they are applied appropriately). However, when adaptability and acclimatization are applied improperly (and continuously) to situations involving increasing tyranny and decreasing freedom, and increasing illusion and decreasing reality, it can result in the de-evolution and the extinction of a species.

In other words, when a new normal is incrementally and/or automatically normalized (without exercising proper examination and due diligence), the resulting new normal can become a very dangerous abnormal. 
 

(de)Evolution Illustrated

Parasites -- When a parasitic infection is dealt with via blindness, inaction, and ignore-ance,
it allows the infection to keep growing until it eventually overwhelms its host.

 

 

Planet of the Apes -- From clever apes with small sticks, to dumb gorillas with big
clubs. The widespread militarization of various enforcement agencies
is becoming more and more apparent every day.

 

Acclimating to Our New Environment -- The human race has (de)evolved from hunters
looking for food, to the hunted becoming the food (on many different levels).

 

Driving the Herd -- As the real world becomes increasingly more harsh and less attractive, the
Matrix and illusion become increasingly more attractive (see Ready Player One).

 

Human 6.0? -- How will nanotechnology, genetic modification, electromagnetic radiation, ionizing radiation, pharmaceuticals, vaccines, chemicals, propaganda, programming, indoctrination, conditioning, adaptability, and acclimatization affect the (de)evolution of humanity? Will we end up "evolving" into a mouth-less, nose-less, ear-less, gender-less, mind-less, will-less, and sight-less biological robot/drone? Or will we evolve into something else?

Quotes from Ready Player One

Quote: "I’d heard that if you accessed the simulation with a new state-of-the-art immersion rig, it was almost impossible to tell the OASIS [Matrix] from reality."

Comment: What if the human body is (or is becoming) a "state-of-the-art immersion rig" via re-programming, re-conditioning, improper adaptation, improper acclimatization, and physical, genetic, technological, and psychological manipulation? What would that mean with regards to the actual state of the "reality" that we are living in now (and the reality that we will live in the future)?

Quote: "You could create an entirely new persona for yourself, with complete control over how you looked and sounded to others. In the OASIS, the fat could become thin, the ugly could become beautiful, and the shy could become extroverted…Or you could cease being human altogether, and become an elf, ogre, alien, or any other creature from literature, movies, or mythology [or even a non-gendered or multi-gendered non-human mythological creature or entity]."

Comment: With so many people unhappy with their bodies, their looks, and their life, the Oasis (Matrix) seems like it would be great alternative.

Quote: "Things used to be awesome, but now they’re kinda terrifying."

Comment: No comment needed.
 

Quote: "I created the OASIS because I never felt at home in the real world. I didn't know how to connect with the people there. I was afraid, for all of my life, right up until I knew it was ending. That was when I realized, as terrifying and painful as reality can be, it's also the only place where you can find true happiness. Because reality is real."

Comment: Perhaps there is some hope for the future.

The Deep Fake Dark World of AI and the Internet

5-27-23

The original Deep Fake Human.
 

Many of the "new" technologies that come into public view and public use aren't actually new at all. Rather, these technologies have been known and been in use by the military, black projects, and various research institutions for quite some time. This means that much of the new technology that is released to the public is actually old technology. It also means that the actual state of such technology is often far more advanced than what is known or understood by the general population.

What is real and what is fake? Where did the internet come from? How was it able to capture so many people in its web and net so quickly and so completely? Is the internet and AI really human-inspired technology? Or is it something else? 

The reality is that much of the population of this planet is already living in some part of the Matrix, but just doesn't realize it. What will reality look like when we can no longer reliably differentiate between true reality and unreality (or when unreality becomes true reality)?

The Straight and Narrow

5-26-23

What would happen if true love, morality, ethics, compassion, empathy, creativity, reasoning, knowledge, awareness, critical thinking, discernment, understanding, memory/recall, and our ability to connect with higher consciousness was somehow altered, corrupted, or entirely removed from our bodies and our minds (via re-programming, conditioning, genetic alteration, and/or other technological means)? What would the world look like then? What does the world look like now?

Outer Limits - Straight and Narrow
(Episode 2-8)
 

This episode could be viewed simply as one thing. Or it could be viewed as a metaphor for anything (substance, technology, programming, or entity) that alters, corrupts, or destroys our ability to engage in fully-conscious thoughts and actions.

The straight and narrow could refer to a very specific type of knowledge, awareness, understanding, and action that is needed in order to successfully traverse the roads, paths, and gates of life.

Or, the straight and narrow could refer to moving straight ahead with your head down (hoping not to draw attention to yourself), seeing with narrow vision (blinders on), hearing with constricted comprehension, and never deviating from the program(ing).

Footnote: The first step in protecting yourself from being negatively affected by outside influences is to recognize how you are being affected by outside influences. Unfortunately, the more that the mind and the body become poisoned, damaged, and corrupted by indoctrination, propaganda, programming, conditioning, entertainment, distraction, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, vaccines, heavy metals, fluoride, pesticides, GMOs, microwaves, harmful electromagnetic radiation, ionizing radiation, and other poisons and toxins in our environment, the more difficult it becomes to recognize how you are being affected by such things (including having a clear recall/memory of what the world used to be like). In other words, the further that we travel down the wrong roads, the more narrow and more treacherous the roads become and the more difficult it becomes to make a u-turn and head back up the right way.

 

IT

5-23-23

 

IT = Information Technology

IT = Demonic Clown(s)

IT = Intrusive Thoughts

Information Technology

Traditionally, the term IT has stood for "Information Technology" as it relates to business computer systems (e.g. technology that enables a company to do its business). However, I think that IT could be expanded today to include many other things as well.

During the last twenty-five years, information technology has actually switched roles from supporting the people, products, and services of companies, to becoming the main product itself. This transition started to become very apparent during the Silicon Valley tech boom that occurred around the beginning of the year 2000.

The entire business model of many modern tech companies now revolves around the collection, management, and deployment of data obtained from various digital devices (smart phones, smart watches, tablets, computers, fitness devices, smart home appliances, routers, satellites, dash cams, door cams, traffic cams, security cams, security scanners, the 5G+ grid, smart meters, car computers, GPS devices, Alexa/Siri/Google devices, point of sale devices, brain implants, nanotechnology, etc).

How is all of this data being used today? It is being used to profile us and modify our behaviors without us even knowing it. What is the real purpose of your smart phone? It's a data collection and transmission device and a behavior modification device (among other things). What is propaganda? It is a method of behavior modification that uses previously collected data to manipulate and drive the behaviors of its target(s). What is psychological programming, conditioning, and brainwashing? These are behavior modification methods that use information technologies and collected data to reprogram the minds of their target(s). What is social media? It is a data collection, management, manipulation, and dissemination "service" that is used to modify the behaviors of its target(s).

What are pharmaceuticals, injectables, nanotechnology, and electromagnetic/electronic systems being used for today? As weaponized systems, they are being used to increase the permeability and the susceptibility of our minds to non-local thoughts, suggestions, and behaviors (intrusive thoughts). Intrusive thoughts can come from a number of different sources including unknown programming contained within our subconscious mind, various mind influencing technologies, and unseen "entities".

Where did all of this digital technology come from and how was it able to permeate virtually every aspect of our world so quickly and so completely? What about AI technology? It too is showing up everywhere today -- AI in photography, AI in music, AI in art, AI in design and manufacturing, AI in medicine, AI in customer service (oxymoron), AI in cars and transportation, etc. And what about virtual worlds and virtual identities (immerssive games, the metaverse, social media, filters, etc)?

Where is all of this going and what is it doing to our individuality, our creativity, and our humanity? And what is it doing to our privacy and our personal identities? Similar to digital devices and data, the role of consumers has also switched places as well. Government, corporations, and other institutions are now the new "consumers" (of data), while the users (people) are the ones being consumed. Remember the coppertop battery in the Matrix?

IT and Demonic Clowns

Are demonic clowns a reference to the current state of our political system (and the representatives of that system)? It could be. Are demonic clowns a reference to the World Economic Forum, its members, and its policies? It could be. Are demonic clowns a reference to Big Pharma and its toxic drugs? It could be. Are demonic clowns a reference to the unelected wanna-be rulers like Bill Gates and others who attempt to rule over others from the gutters of their twisted minds (and drag others into the gutter along with them)? It could be.

Or is this a reference to a non-human demonic force that is actively attacking the children of this world, contaminating the natural systems of this world, infiltrating the minds of people in this world, and spreading malignant darkness, evil, and chaos throughout this entire planet?

Who (and/or what) is influencing the thoughts and actions of the demonic clowns of this world? And who (and/or what) is influencing the thoughts and actions of the people of this world?

Intrusive Thoughts

Are demons, demonic influences, and demonic possession simply outdated religious beliefs, superstitions, and/or paranoia? Or is there something more to this?

Recently I have been seeing more and more references in the media to something called intrusive thoughts. What are intrusive thoughts? Just as the name implies, they are thoughts, images, and impulses that intrusively enter into a person's mind from somewhere else. Intrusive thoughts can feel very foreign to the person experiencing them because they are usually very different than normal thoughts and thought processes.

There are times when intrusive thoughts might involve benign subject matter. However, many times, they appear to revolve more around very negative, dark, or destructive thought patterns that may include physical harm to oneself, physical harm to others, recurring negative thought-loops (involving self-confidence, self-worth, and self-image), and corrupted/bizarre thoughts related to sex and sexuality.

The Corruption and the Suppression of Natural Light and Darkness
Leads to a Rise of Malignant Light and Darkness (Evil)

What is going on in the world? Why has there been such an explosion of depression, depravity, suicides, mass shootings, crime, and dangerous and destructive thought patterns in society today (I mean genuinely dangerous and destructive thought patterns, not the ones that the mainstream media says are dangerous)? What is the cause and/or origin of such things?

How are Angels, Demons, Incubus/Succubus, Djinn, Wetiko, Demonic Possessions, Intrusive Thoughts, Shadows, Archons, Aliens, Flyers, Mind Parasites, Information Technologies, Mind-Altering Substances/Technologies, and Scary Clowns related? How are these things related to the genetic modification of plants, animals, and humans on this planet? Or are they related at all? If these things are indeed related in some way, do they represent a threat to us?
 

What's Next?

This world is being poisoned in almost every way imaginable -- physically, genetically, environmentally, psychologically, and spiritually. If things continue the way that they have been going, what will the human race (and this world) look like in the future? How can we protect ourselves from the influence of such things? That will be discussed in the next post.

As Below, So Above
Floor Gymnastics and Mental Gymnastics

5-16-23

Mental gymnastics vs. mental exercise. Which one is which?
 

In order to gain power and control over others (and maintain it), people's access to Knowledge, Awareness, and Understanding must be controlled first. In other words, to control the thoughts and actions of the flock, the official narrative must remain unchallenged.

What happens when kings, queens, gods, lords, and masters begin to lose control over their followers? They attack anyone and anything that threatens their power (and their official narrative).

This is exactly what we saw during the last three years with regards to the covid narrative and the massive censorship and character assassinations that occurred. Anyone or anything that challenged the official narrative was characterized as being dangerous. Truth was censored, corrupted, and distorted and incorrect associations and conclusions were drawn in order to hide useful information that might have led to more Awareness and Understanding (which is the greatest enemy of those who wish to rule and control others through ignorance).

The Kettle and the Pot

I often hear "the right" accuse "the left" of trying to control the thoughts and actions of others and wanting to herd everybody into a uniform non-thinking cult. However, the right does exactly the same thing (a perfect example of this can seen in the video below). Of course the left accuses the right of doing same thing as well. And the Church accuses its competitors of doing the same thing (that it is doing). And the gods accuse the other gods of doing the same thing (that they are doing). And so it goes, on and on, in the Kingdom of the Kettle and the Pot.
 

Video

In the video below, the presenter opens up with the statement that the "secret religions" are based on activity and practice rather than belief (as if that is a bad thing). He then describes the "secret religions" as being cult-like and having double standards. However, the description that he offers to the audience begs the question -- is he describing the "other" religions or is he describing the Orthodox Christian Church?

He says that he believes in religious freedom, yet he characterizes anyone outside of his own religion as being a weirdo, a new ager, or a hippie. He says it's OK if "those people" (those with different religious or spiritual beliefs) exist, just as long as they go live in a cave somewhere away from him.

There is so much distortion and corruption of knowledge and understanding in this video that it is difficult to even watch. Incorrect associations and conclusions are abundant throughout the presentation. However, for those that may be interested in seeing what World Class Olympic Gold Medal Mental Gymnastics (with an Olympic Silver in Finger Pointing and Deflection) looks like, this is a perfect example.

I am including a link to the video below because I think that it is a very good exercise in practicing true discernment. It's also a good example of how corruption and distortion of Knowledge, Awareness, and Understanding can be used as a tool of control (to foster ignorance and adherence within the flock).

As Within, So Without

All things can be distorted, corrupted, and misrepresented. What if I were to deliberately distort a teaching in Christianity? Does that mean that all things and all people in Christianity are bad and dangerous? Over the years I have seen many dangerous teachings and practices within Christianity. Does that mean that I should ignore the good teachings and practices in Christianity because of the bad ones? The same thoughts also hold true for other religions, philosophies, and people as well.

If we weren't meant to explore, then why did God give us Freewill? If were weren't meant to learn and grow, then why did God give us a brain? If we weren't meant to see and hear (other things), then why did God give us eyes and ears? If we weren't meant to act (rather than just believe), why did God give us mouths, and arms, and hands, and legs, and feet? If we weren't meant to love and understand "others", then why did God give us a heart, and compassion, and empathy?

And if God actually meant for us to lie and do the wrong things, rather than be truthful and do the right things, then why did God give us a conscience?

The Serpent On the Road

5-11-23

 

When something familiar or unfamiliar is encountered on the road in front of us, how does that affect our internal compass and our direction? In other words, how do fears, anxieties, confidence, beliefs, views, affiliations, memberships, loyalties, experiences, and inexperiences affect what we do, what we don't do, where we go, and where we don't go? Are the things on the road seen as friend or foe, benign or dangerous, supportive or disruptive, relevant or irrelevant, bridge or obstacle, and/or real or illusion?

Road Tripping

 

A person said, "lookout, there is a rattlesnake on the road". The other person said, "where?"

Then another person said, "lookout, there is a rattlesnake on the road". The other person said, "where?"

The first person said, "can't you see it, it is right in front of you!" The other person said, "where?"

Then another person said, "can't you see it, it is right in front of you!" The other person said, "where?"

Sometimes no matter how many times that you try and show somebody something, their eyes, their ears, and their brains simply refuse to see it, hear it, or acknowledge it. Why is that?

The Telephone Game

Public communication device? Or isolation booth?
 

When I was a kid, I used to think that the reason why messages became so distorted when playing the telephone game was because one person didn't hear what the other person was saying correctly. In one way this is true. However, there is also a deeper component to this as well. What are some of the things that impact our ability to see and understand information when it is encountered in our environment?
 

The preservation of psychological safety within the individual (comfort, familiarity, and order).
The preservation of safety within a group (membership and status).
The preservation of financial/economic safety and security in the individual.
The preservation of personal "truths" within individual belief system(s).
Other Filters - political, religious, institutional, professional, cultural, generational, etc.
Indoctrination, programming, conditioning, propaganda, and similar things that can alter, cloud, and over-shadow our awareness and understanding.
 

Things that support our programming, conditioning, and belief systems are usually seen in a good light. However, things that challenge or contradict our programming, conditioning, and belief systems are often seen as being invasive, disruptive, or dangerous.

Messengers of Truth or Deliverers of Deception?

It's amazing how far we have come (and fallen) with
the dissemination of news and information.
 

"The world is full of kings and queens who blind your eyes and steal your dreams". Who said that? It was actually Ronnie James Dio that said it in a song called "Heaven and Hell".

Is this a true statement? Some people think that Ronnie James Dio was a Satanist or a dark occultist. I don't know if he was or he wasn't. However, I think that there is another thing to consider here besides that. If you agree that the lyric above is a true statement, does it cease to be true if it was said by someone that was a Satanist or a dark occultist (or someone that was perceived to be Satanist or a dark occultist)? What if the Pope told his followers something that was untrue? Does that mean that it isn't untrue just because the Pope said it? What if a leftist said something truthful to a rightist? Would the rightist still consider such a thing to be the truth? And what if a rightist said something true to a leftist? Would the leftist still consider such a thing to be true?

The point that I am trying to make here is that there are truths, deceptions, and misconceptions that exist all around us. The truth (if it is in fact the truth), remains the truth regardless of who speaks it. And a lie or a deception (if it is in fact a lie or a deception), remains a lie or deception regardless of who speaks it. And a misconception (if it is in fact a misconception), remains a misconception regardless of who speaks it.

Ideally, the first thing that should be addressed when someone makes a statement is an examination (and discernment) of what was spoken, rather than who spoke it. However, this is not what typically happens. Often the first thing that occurs is a profiling (perceptual identification) of the messenger, rather than an examination and discernment of the message.

Unfortunately, this is something that I have seen occur quite often in both the mainstream news "community" and the alternative news "community". For example:

If you examine or criticize the right in any way, then you must be a leftist.
If you examine or criticize the left in any way, then you must be a rightist.
If you examine or criticize anything about Trump, then you are either a Trump hater, a leftist liberal, and/or you don't like red hats or clever acronyms.
If you examine or criticize anything about Biden, then you are either being cruel to old people, you are a Trump supporter, and/or you are a white supremacist who likes red hats and clever acronyms.
if you examine or criticize Christianity in any way, then you are probably a demon, a devil, an atheist, a leftist, or a Satanist.
If you critically examine anything about the US military, then you are unpatriotic, you hate America, you dislike armed-service men and women, and you are a bare-foot, peace-loving, leftist-liberal, flower power, tie-dye wearing, VW van driving, hippie from the sixties.
If you mention light, energy, frequency, or love in any way (or in any context) then you are a New Age wacko.
If you mention anything that is outside of mainstream "medicine", "science", "news", or anything that is an alternative to independent-mainstream (oxymoron) viewpoints, then you are considered to be a crazy conspiracy theorist.
If you mention anything that is outside of mainstream-alternative (oxymoron) viewpoints, then you must either be a Trump hater, a government shill, a secret WEF member, a leftist, a liberal, a Satanist, a New Ager, a UFO nut, or quite possibly a combination of all of these things.
If you question any covid "science" (using real science),  then you are a selfish, science-denying conspiracy theorist who only thinks about themselves and doesn't care about anyone else.
If you post a link to a podcast, a video, or some music that you think may have some benefit to others, then it is assumed that everything within such content is a reflection and a representation of your personal views and beliefs.
If you suggest that there may actually be some problems with overpopulation, then you are labeled as a deep state shill or a secret member of the World Economic Forum.
If you suggest that there are some real issues regarding the environment, then you are labeled as a climate change believer, a deep state shill, a leftist liberal, or a World Economic Forum supporter.

The above may appear to be a bit over-the-top to some people, however it really is this bad at times (in both mainstream and the "alternative" news communities). Of course not everyone reacts in this way, but many do.

The light = 50% knowing (and 50% ignorance)

The darkness = 50% ignorance (and 50% knowing)

The light + the darkness = 100% Light (Knowledge, Awareness, Understanding, and Wisdom)
