Into the faery woods

NDAA = 9/11: Reason Obama signed it on '31st December 2011'

2012-01-14T03:46:00.000-08:00

Several weeks ago after finding out about the U.S. Government's intention to pass NDAA HR 1540, which gives them and their military the power to detain Americans, and people round the world, without any legal representation or trial, inspired me to do a numerological calculation of the abbreviation NDAA, and this is what I found:

Counting the letters of the alphabet we find that N is the 14th letter,

so we add 1+4 = 5 (because compound digits are usually always added up to form a single digit).

D is 4 and then A is 1.

So the first calculation I did was therefore 5 + 4 =9 and leaving the AA as two ones side by side we get NDAA = 911; 9/11!

If we add all the letters together (though again adding the compound number 14) it goes
5+4+1+1 = 11.
Therefore NDAA can either be calculated as 9/11 or 11!

The fascist bill is often presented as NDAA (H.R. 1540). So what is the numerological sum of the latter part?

H is the 8th letter,

R is the 18th so we then go (always dropping the zeros) 8+ (1+8=)9+1+5+4+0= (2+7=) 9

So, if you calculate NDAA as 11, then you have the 9 in the HR 1540 part, again suggesting 9/11.

Now let us checkout the day President Obama signs the NDAA:

31st December 2011 ~~~ 31/12/2011~~ 3+1+1+2+2+0 11.

So like we did with NDAA, we leave their 'master number 11' standing, and as usual drop the

zero, and we get, 9/11, or 11 if we add the two ones together. EXACTLY the same

calculation as for the NDAA numerology which may be the reason that day was specically chosen to suit their occult demands!

Hence this underlying numerology links the two 'events' and shows me a reason he would choose that day to sign this fascist bill which further destroys the Bill of Rights in a deliberate "chain of tyranny".

The Number 11 in WWI

Let us compare this 11 phenomena with the First World War.

WWI

Very often World War One is abbreviated as WWI, and if we apply a numerological calculation to this, we find: W is 23rd letter, so we add 2+3 = 5, so two Ws comes to 10, and plus 1 = 11

As was explained in an earlier blog, the number 11 is apparently the hidden occultist elite's power or master number, and so it will be seen prominently--by those who are savvy enough to see it--at such bloody events as 9/11, and as can be clearly seen, World War 1.

For example, it is so that WWI was ended on the 11th minute, "at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month" of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice ("at the 11th hour" refers to the passing of the 11th hour, or 11:00 a.m.)"

The 11 emphasis cannot be ignored.

Why?

Who chose that number to represent such an important ending to the First World War so that the number 11 would feature so prominently?

On Remembrance day this 11 ritual, minute, hour, day, month, is strictly adhered to by millions when people are to be silent to remember the war dead. For who does this ritual really serve?

Let us take a closer look at the date of the ending of WWI then:

Because the 11s are 'master numbers' in this elite's occultism we shall leave them standing as it were and just count the date of the year:

the 11th minute, 11 th hour, on 11/11/1918 1+9+1+8= 19 = 10 (we drop the zero) and this leaves a number 1 (combining minute, hour and date like this): 111111111

11s all over 9/11

The WTC took 11 years to build.

The Twin Towers' architectural design resembled a very large number 11.

New York was the 11th State in the Union.

Both towers had 110 stories, and you know what 'they' do with zeros right? They don't include them so you got two 11s there, right?

9/11 happened on the 254th day of the year which equals....? 11!

'First plane' to hit the North Tower of the World Trade Centre was Flight American Airlines 11. AA suggests another 11 emphasis

Building 7 which 'fell' had 47 stories which adds up to....? 11!

Now, the excuse OF 9/11 was to 'retaliate' and attack Afghanistan. Guess how many letters that name has...just count before you read on...11, right?

Afghanistan is attacked on 10/7/2001. Now let us get rid of the zeros, and we are left with 1721, and when we add them up guess what? we get number 11.

Remember the other building hit on 9/11? the T H E P E N T A G O N. 11 letters.

Another plane crashed in Shakesville? how many letters it got...? 11?

The President presiding over the nation that fateful day who was watched by billions of people in the famous classroom scene was called 'George W. Bush': 11 letters

This is a sample, but I hope you can see this recurring pattern of the number 11 being prominent throughout 9/11 as it is in the ritual 'ending' of the First World War, and its remembrance every year since. Who is wanting the number 11 to be ritually affecting our minds?

Aleister Crowley and the number 11 as the "number of magick"

I have explored in a previous blog, it appears that Aleister Crowley, self-proclaimed "prophet of the new aeon" has a powerful influence over the cabal behind these bloody rituals, etc, and this is what Crowley has to say about the number 11:

"Firstly", 11 is the number of Magick in itself. It is therefore suitable to all types of operation. "Secondly", it is the sacred number par excellence of the new Aeon. As it is written in the Book of the Law: "...11, as all their numbers who are of us." "Thirdly", it is the number of the letters of the word ABRAHADABRA, which is the word of the Aeon. The structure of this word is such that it expresses the great Work, in every one of its aspects. "Lastly", it is possible thereby to express all possible spheres of operation, whatever their nature. " [source]

The Chain Of Tyranny

Underlying all the so-called changes of governments there lurks this ongoing power behind the scenes which uses propaganda and the occult, with all the violence, to control us, and that the more gullible we are to what they are doing the more power they will have over our consciousness, and the more confused we will be regarding our own sense of power and what we can do to radically end this corruption.

This video below gives fairly good detail of how 'they' have been busy even before 9/11, which was their major lynch pin false flag event to fast~track their agenda, but it does not include how The Patriot Act was already prepared before 9/11, and the recent SOPA, which is intended to censor political dissent, as well as fuck-up how we creatively share all kinds of information.

The Lion, the Witch, the Wardrobe, and the Hierarchy

2012-01-07T11:29:00.000-08:00

I have always loved tales which involve magic. As a child, by the time most other kids my age had graduated into the realist Janet&John adventure type books, and worldview, I was still hooked on fairy tales--where anything could and did happen, and there were always whirls and spirals of magic fairy dust sparkles inspiring mysterious events. But eventually, owing to the sadistic onslaught of culture on my sensitive impressionable young mind, I graduated, not to Janet&John books, which tended to bore me, but to Pan Horror books which were still magical, but in a more gruesome way. [It is very notable that in searching for an image of a faery from Google images, predominantly the version of faeiries presented are the twee Walt Disney variety, little slight winged creatures, not human-sized anywhere (they do the same with their twee New Age images of the Goddess!) This again is the manipulation and suppression of stories and images by the same mindsets I reveal below. For more authentic artistic depictions we have to look to ancient Greek art, and other indigenous peoples mythological images.]

I know this: I know that both orthodox religion and orthodox science denigrate faeries, the former demonizing them, and the latter dismissing their existence, and pathologizing people having had, in contact, or being open to the reality of such realms.

It was LSD finding me when I was 15 years old that brought me back to the magical feeling I had as a child regarding nature, for when experiencing inspired ecstatic states I saw 'fairy dust' spiralling off played guitar strings, in the swirling wind. peoples eyes like deep jewels, and all other forms of interdimensional playfulness, seeing faeries, feeling them, hearing, observing nature as alive and full of wonders.

I have also had two out of the body experiences, the latter one which was very powerful. I had not taken any psychedelics, and had gone to bed, but when I found myself seemingly out of my sleeping body this began an adventure where I encountered faeries, including sexual contact with one; such experiences as these and others described above radically transform one's sense of reality.

After such experiences then comes the search for integration, and the looking for books to help this process. I couldn't go back to children's fairy tales. First I got causght up in Carlos Castenada books of shamanistic magical happenings, and later was drawn to Eastern explanations of reality.

It was author Alan Watts, however, who was the first to really turn me on with his words----how he explained so eloquently and playfully the interconnectedness of polar~related reality; how there cannot be light without darkness, life without death--This is the language of the Goddess mythos and religion, the 'Old Religion'--though it was going to be a time before I discovered about all that in more depth, when it registered to me that 99% of my growing little library were male authors, but Alan was sure talkin' it! His central theme though was towards the Eastern side of things, his love for Zen, and although much of it is more deep than western forms of religion, there still in Eastern philosophy this negation of sensual magical reality---of ecstatic participation with nature.

I have had communications with Zennists - Zen being the supposedly mystical side of Buddhism - who, when asked their thoughts on psychedelic experience, would give a warning how such experience can 'entangle one in "Mara"'~~they translated that term to mean "delusion"; in Buddhism there is a more personified description:

In Buddhism, Māra ... is the demon that tempted Gautama Buddha by trying to seduce him with the vision of beautiful women who, in various legends, are often said to be Mara's daughters.[1] In Buddhist cosmology, Mara personifies unwholesome impulses, unskillfulness, the "death" of the spiritual life. 'He' is a tempter, distracting humans from practicing the spiritual life by making the mundane alluring or the negative seem positive.

The early Buddhists, however, rather than seeing Mara as a demonic, virtually all-powerful Lord of Evil, regarded him as more of a nuisance. Many episodes concerning his interactions with the Buddha have a decidedly humorous air to them.

In traditional Buddhism four senses of the word "mara" are given.

Klesa-mara, or Mara as the embodiment of all unskillful emotions.
Mrtyu-mara, or Mara as death, in the sense of the ceaseless round of birth and death.
Skandha-mara, or Mara as metaphor for the entirety of conditioned existence.
Devaputra-mara, or Mara the son of a deva (god), that is, Mara as an objectively existent being rather than as a metaphor.

Early Buddhism acknowledged both a literal and "psychological" interpretation of Mara. Mara is described both as an entity having a literal existence, just as the various deities of the Vedic pantheon are shown existing around the Buddha, and also is described as a primarily psychological force - a metaphor for various processes of doubt and temptation that obstruct spiritual practice.

"Buddha defying Mara" is a common pose of Buddha sculptures. The Buddha is shown with his left hand in his lap, palm facing upwards and his right hand on his right knee. The fingers of his right hand touch the earth, to call the earth as his witness for defying Mara and achieving enlightenment. This posture is also referred to as the 'earth-touching' mudra. [Emphasis mine]

When we hear religious (and secular) males speak of being tempted, engulfed, seduced, tempted, entangled, by 'mundane and sensual ecstatic experiences we are hearing loud and clear the patriarchal fear of nature, their own nature, and the Goddess!

Her whole being including her Dark aspect, also known as the Womb/Tomb, Underworld, and more modernly, "the unconscious", is the greatest fear of the male-supremacist psyche, and as seen in this Buddhist account which personifies the main 'demon' as male, this narrative and psychological sex-change reveals the deep taboo regarding the real identity of the enemy of this patriarchal 'heroic' mindset being female!

Same is so in the other patriarchal beliefs, particularly in Judeo-Christianity-Islamic beliefs and their mystical and occultist-magico 'heretical' branches [such as Kabbalah, etc], where the chief 'demons' said to rule Hell/ the Underworld are also a male, for example, the Devil/Satan/Sammael/Iblis.

These male demon-leaders, were mythically created to hide the far more ancient understanding and experience of the Deep, the Underworld, and Womb, and expropriate the realm of the Goddess; so this exposed, we now can see the taboo is that it is the very Goddess herself , in patriarchal myth~~which is deeply feared of tempting the 'hero' away from his 'righteous spiritual path' who therefore seeks 'escape' from nature, and being born again from the mother, (nature, and human), and being naturally interelated with cyclic dynamic reality.
This is not to claim there may not be other spiritual dimensions which are eternal, and so on, but rather than assume their dissocation from earthly reality~~thus dividing 'eternal' from 'temporal', or to wish to 'make earthly life 'eternal'~~to understand continuum of being, and that earthly life is not an enemy or trap.

When once strolling through town, I was drawn to this bookshop window by the sun causing this book to glow this mushroom like colour (the deep golden brown colour of psilocybin cubensis) on a bookshelf inside, I entered and went to this book and found it was titled The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross (TSMC for short), by John Marco Allegro. This book turned out to be a milestone, turning me onto wanting to study and understand mythology, and helped me resolve the Christian guilt-trip, because although I wasn't brought up in a Christian household as such, yet Christian values and morality seeped into most aspects of peoples life, and especially for me who was secretly gay (a benevolent term that had not even come to be in those times), and all the 'moral baggage' and guilt-making of that, some said, some un-said, but registered---and the 'shame' all over the place then, in schools, films, TV, media, peers [even today there are children who kill themselves because of their guilt, and abuse from others, for being gay]. So finding and absorbing TSMC was a great relief, because I could now see through the myth by understanding the mythic roots!
I could see its motifs from earlier pagan myths, and how it was made to differ dramatically from the Pagan mythic stream by being historicized, and literalized.

This book learned me how mythology can be used to manipulate people via narrative techniques usually composed in layers, the superficial layers for the naive readers, and the deeper, core, layer for the initiated. Patriarchal mythology which is the main literary genre, coming to its oppressive fore with the invention of writing, did this to a fine literary art, because they could use the 'Word' to obscure and denigrate ancient imagery which had anciently been understood as ambiguous, poetic, and benevolent. Images are are truly mythical in that they symbolize an eternal meaning of ecstatic experience in continuum with life in general. We dream in images, and psychedelic experience is an awesome journey of imagery.

The core meaning of the Christian myth, according to Allegro, is that a mind-altering fungi is the real meaning of 'Jesus Christ', who was said to be 'God made flesh' ;

"¹In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God...¹⁴And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us..."John 1:1-14,

This idea, of plants and fungi being gods derives from earth-based Pagan , and indigenous cultures, where mind-altering vegetation is understood to be spirits/gods/plant-teachers, and this understanding is very ancient.

The Christian mythmakers would have known this and would want to out-do the 'competition' (by drawing into their cult both Judean, and Pagans), so to speak, by deviating from usual sense of mythology by historicizing and literalizing their myth for the uninitiated, and thus making out it was more important.

Authenic mythology, is not to be understood as linear, historical, and literal, but as coexistant with a sense of eternal time experienced in participatory ecstatic ritual, and in continuum with all modes of life.
How can we have time without eternity? When you ingest psychedelics there does not have to be a book to tell you about 'eternity', you feel it directly! A good example of what I mean by this:

When you ingest psychedelics--in my experience--you can both accept 'eternity' and 'time' as part of a same continuum.
If you see a clock, for example, and are tripping, you can see the ticking, and that five or ten minutes have past, but the sense of this moving time feels sacred, and is a whole different feeling from the sense of mechanical time where you feel trapped in time.

There is no such thing as only-time or only-eternity, because 'eternity' and 'time' are concepts abstracted from some reality far deeper which includes change, and eternity.

When I got online in the early 2000s, I soon fortunately discovered the writings of Druscilla French , and read portions of her manuscript from her Doctorate of Philosophy dissertation, titled, The Power of Choice (it is brilliant and was then unpublished!)
After getting in touch with her and telling her how much I enjoyed reading a chapter of it, she very kindly printed it all out for me and sent it from the U.S. to my address overseas!

In the Power of Choice, Druscilla French explains how there are very oppressively imposed, androcentric, 'Laws of Narrative' which span the generations, making sure that 'dissonant' and heretical worldviews are censored, so as to control and manipulate consciousness, and maintain an hierachical staus quo and maintain a power-based division between feminine and masculine, the 'rich' and the 'poor', and this censorship includes all forms of literature, metaphysical, cosmological, sociological, and psychological!

The critique of Northrup Frye's theory of Myth is an attempt to challenge the notion that his is "a rational account of some of the structural principles of western literature". This study will argue that Frye's "structural principles of literature" are instead an accurate description of western literary orthodoxy, an orthodoxy that, by definition, cannot hear the voices of "heretics" who do not view life through the filters of this world order...

As I began to discover the depth of this cultural baggage toward the masculine, I first felt bewilderment and a deep sense of betrayal. Regardless of how beloved are the women in Western society, ultimately the males will sacrifice them for the good of the patriarchy. Our fathers, our lovers, our brothers, and our friends have over and over, for thousands of years, participated in a conspiracy to privilege the masculine over the feminine. In the course of time, this has resulted in much humiliation and subjugation. There arose in me a great anger, a swelling of indignation so great that I could not keep the profanity out of my writing. Eventually I came to a process of writing whereby I allowed myself to vent in the first draft, then come back and create a more restrained version. Nevertheless the anger remains, and I hope it still sings in this work as a kind of energy fueling the argument. [The Power of Choice, Description introduction & page 3]

As Druscilla French reveals in her work, this hierachical bias imposes itself throughout all genres of literature, including the mythical, religious, philosophical, sociological, psychological, and even in fairy stories.

A closer look at The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe tale

On Christmas TV there was shown again the film, The Lion,the Witch, and the Wardrobe, based on the original book I read in primary school as a young child. The film begins with three children, in the Second World War period, under attack in their homes from falling bombs, and then all the children have to be evacuated from the towns to the countryside so they will be more safe (my mum actually experienced this as a child).

The main children characters are portrayed as fairly 'upper middle class', and so they get sent, not to a council house, or country hovel, but to a vast aristocratic country house where they have lots of space, and rooms, to explore all to themselves.

The story properly begins when it's raining outside, they are bored, and so play hide and seek in the huge house, and as the little girl runs to find a place to hide, discovers a room with a large wardrobe in it, enters it, and walks though the wardrobe into a magical land called Narnia where she first meets a mythical Fawn character, named Mr Tumnus. Mr Tumnus looks like Pan.

[In his earliest appearance in literature, Pindar's Pythian Ode iii. 78, [4] Pan appears as the "agent", "guardian" or "attendant" of the Great Goddess (Cybele).]

When the older bother and sister are eventually to meet the Fawn for the first time, the mythical creature calls them respectively the "son of Adam" and the "daughter of Eve", firmly placing their roles and this story within the confines of the Judeo-Christian patriarchal worldview.

. What is the deeper meaning of fawns in mythological symbolism? John Allegro reveals in his book, TSMC, mind-altering mushrooms were also called 'Fawns', particularly the spotted amanita muscaria, sharing the spotted pattern with woodland creatures such as fawns, and gazelles. [Compare with the Indigenous Huichols who associate their sacred mind-transformative Peyote cacti with Deer]

Carrying on with the story then, the little girl after her first adventure into Narnia returns through the back of the wardrobe into the house, and tells the others of her magical journey and experiences, but they are sceptical; her younger brother, Edmund, however, one day happens to see her enter the wardrobe, follows her into it, and finds himself in Narnia.

While in Narnia Edmund has a dramatic meeting with the "wicked witch", the Ice Queen, who keeps Narnia everlastingly cold, and icy, and she seduces him with his favourite toffees and a promise of a powerful royal title on condition he will betray his brothers and sisters.
Later, in the story, when his older brother and sister also discover Narnia, they are immediately in danger, because Edmund will have already met them and tell the witch where they are for his hoped-for rewards. But she betrays him and chains him in a dungeon.

The other children then are soon pursued by the Queen's wolves and receive help from various animals, also Father Christmas, and are eventually introduced to the central character of the tale, Aslan, the Lion, Lord of the Beasts, who is "good, just, and forgiving" and teaches Peter "military strategies". Aslan is the 'solar hero' of this tale.

This solar myth is typically the story of the 'good righteous people led by a resurrecting solar hero' against an 'evil witch and her monsters'.

In a dramatic and horrific scene, after the Lion has chosen to have himself sacrificed rather than Edmund, he has to walk through gauntlet of monsters who torment and attack him, at the helm is the evil witch who stabs the lion to death.

The symbol of the 'Lion' has many patriarchal mythical associations such as the Leo Zodiac sign for the sun, also the biblical "Lion of the Tribe of Judah", which refers to 'Jesus Christ' in the N.T., and hence, in the film, Lion, like the mythical Jesus, willingly sacrifices himself for the 'sins' of the younger brother, Edmund, and his people, and then, through 'faith', physically resurrects and leads them to military victory, and bestows on the children hierchal positions of royal power.

Throughout the film the only reference to an alternative mythological worldview is the Fawn, and the Centaurs, but in this tale it is made clear right from the beginning that the fawn is under threat by the 'wicked witch'-- this narrative mythically meant to sever his original ancient connection, and loyalty, to the Goddess in both her dark and light aspects, and therefore the Old Religion.

We never meet, and hear stories of real pagan people/country dwellers, in the film, the main human characters being 'upper class', and royalty. The children gain heraldic titles, and move into the upper eschelons of the Narnian royal hierarchy, and in the story are seen to grow up as princes and princesses until they find the place they emerged into Narnia from the wardrobe, vaguely remembering it, and again unknowingly wander into the back of the wardrobe and all tumble out as the 'upper middle class' kids they were to begin with.

The mythical, eternal, and otherworldy nature of their experience is shown in that once back to themselves, and the house, time has barely passed yet they had experienced part of a lifetime in magical Narnia.

Merlin

Following The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe on the 'Christmas' TV schedule was the serial episode of Merlin. Here again, in this narrative, is a similar patterned theme of the solar heroic myth in action.

King Arthur is the solar hero, and the main characters around him, who secretly help his cause with magic--magic, which Arthur, as did his father, disproves of--are all males, and the central powerful antagonist character who knows and uses magic is a female--depicted as the 'evil witch', Morgana. She is enemy both of the solar king and of his entourage's 'solar magic' which is cast for the purposes of helping the solar king and his military kingdom, and hierarchy.

The only 'benevolent' reference to the Old Religion, and the Goddess, in the televised story of Merlin, is the Dragon which Merlin consults, but Merlin is said to be the Dragon Master---so here we have established albeit, for many, unconsciously, that the males, and their magic, lord it over the Goddess and the Old Religion!

In the Oxford Companion to World Mythology, David Leeming lists Moses, Jesus, and King Arthur as examples of the "heroic monomyth",[73] calling the Christ story "a particularly complete example of the heroic monomyth".[25] Leeming regards resurrection as a common part of the heroic monomyth,[73][74] in which the heroes are resurrected, often as sources of "material or spiritual food for their people"; in this connection, Leeming notes that Christians regard Jesus as the "bread of life".[73] [Emphasis mine]

In terms of values, Leeming contrasts "the myth of Jesus" with the myths of other "Christian heroes such as St. George, Roland, el Cid, and even King Arthur"; the latter hero myths, Leeming argues, reflect the survival of pre-Christian heroic values—"values of military dominance and cultural differentiation and hegemony"—more than the values expressed in the Christ story. (Christian Mythology)[25]

The root meaning, mythical, and actual, of this 'food' is the actual ingestion of vegetation which inspires ecstatic experience!

Short summary of the themes of the solar myths:

They consist of a solar mythos, and military worldview. with its hierarchy of royals, and other elites at the top of the pyramid, and the 'peasants' at the bottom.
The enemy of the solar mythology is an 'evil female witch'.

This enemy of the solar hero is of course really the Goddess, especially in her Dark aspect--symbolizing depths of reality, both of nature and our very being.
All of this depth when feared and suppressed by a solar heroic, and superficial mindset, is 'othered' as threatening 'monsters', and the 'hero' fights this deeper aspect of himself, others, and reality which he has psychologically cut hisself off from, and he also suppresses ecstatic participatory interrelationship with nature, including others' freedoms for the same.

It has to be said that not only are some males affected by this psycholgical schism, but also females who become indoctrinated in it also. We are all enforcibly 'educated', both in schools children have to attend, and in all forms of literature, and mass media.

Is this harmless myth....? No!

The promised salvific medicine is really a toxin that eats into the human spirit like acid...[W]hat wounds human dignity most profoundly and permanently? Alienation from the earth due to the placing its self image in a transhuman superearthly figure...It is a lie. We are created not in His image, but in...the image of the natural world we behold , according to how we behold it.
[Not In His Image, John Lamb Lash, pages 261-262]

The toxic myth of the Christian"historical" crucifixion, sacrifice, salvationism can be resolved by exploring the very ancient roots of enthusiasm/possession which was felt to happen after ingestion of magical vegetation.

Often, after ingestion of a psychedelic substance, a limited sense of self is felt as being taken over, or dissolve, and revitalization spontaneously happens regarding ones awareness, and sense of interelationship with nature, one's self, the universe, and all reality. This 'possession'/ecstasy, would often be mythically related to a god, but, in a prepatriarchal context, a god who is not dissociated from nature, and sensuality, and sexuality, and the body, but deeply including all natural dynamic process. In other words, not a 'god' residing in the sky, guilting his creatures, and purported to be superior to nature.

This mythic dis-ease is actually playing out right now on the world stage, increasingly more and more destructive, and irreversable, as its technology becomes increasingly powerful---properly starting in the industrial age, and particularly the nuclear age!

War on Terror

The 'other' now is being called 'terrorism', 'TERROR'. Yet, the same purveyors of this myth have created the so-called 'war on terror'--so how do we make sense of this?

As I am exploring in some of my articles, there are two types of mythology, the benevolent and the toxic, or malignant.
The former is for creating fruitful community, and deep sense of interelationship with ones own being, others, other species, and nature, and nature's depths of experience, whilst the latter is about manipulation, suppression, control, exploitation, division, sadism, and destruction.

Once deep down in one's own being an 'other' is alien-ated, and mistrusted, this cut-off from one's own depths causes the mindset doing it to alienate itself from others and nature and their depths also. It is a simultaneous process, inner and outer. As inward so outward, and vice versa.

If therefore I fear, and distrust my own potential depths of being, and/or want to control and master 'it', then this mindset will act out this same process onto others, and the very world. The control and suppression of the inner will mainfest--especially with 'power'--as the need to control others, and the whole world through whatever means, both 'mundane', words, and via the hidden, or occult!

A typical controlling strategy is to create an enemy, beit the 'Devil' as in Christianity, the 'Commie threat' as it was in the 'Cold War', and now it is the 'Terrorists', exploiting peoples fear of the 'other' which is indoctrinated into them via various means in cultural institutions, and our own parents, and peers, also under the spell of the various myths.
However let it not be thought that the ones who can push such myths are therefore in some kind of liberated place where they can create enemies and not have any driving their own insanity themselves, because as I hope is clear, their main enemy is their own depths of being which they shun, which includes feeling, empathy, compassion. For if they did feel (not just in a superficial, often sentimental, and maudlin way) they would not, and could not do, what they do.

We have seen as revealed in those three 'culturally approved' stories and myths above, how there are established characters re-occuring; the solar hero, the wicked witch, and how the former supports military imperialism and to be seen as wholly good and right-eous, and the latter is an evil powerful female in charge of a legion of monsters who seeks to corrupt the righteous, and please be aware how these myths even hide 'her' presence'--even as antagonist, by literally changing the mythically original Her into a 'He', so for example we see Satan, Lucifer the Devil, Sammael, Iblis, Mara, as powerful male antagonists in charge of these deep places much feared by the patriarchy.

In Greek myth the Underworld was said to be in the charge of Hades, or Pluto, and in Christian myth, Hell was in charge of the Devil, all males. So how does this 'story' differ from much older ones belonging to the Old Religion, before its mythic denigration in literary description and imagery by the patriarchy?

The Old Religion, although recognizing the significance of the Sol, or the sun, based its central mythos on Luna, or the moon, because the moon revealed both light and dark as a cyclic interelational dynamism of nature and reality, interelated with one's own sense of being.

In this context the moon god hero, unlike the solar hero, who seeks to suppresses this myth, and make it taboo, does not fear the darkness, and the Dark aspect of the Goddess [Darkness, which also means mysterious, beyond reason], or seek to control or master it, but merge with it and thus transform being with deepening interelational awareness; having profound awe, yes, but yet does not 'other' that aspect of his or her being---does not fill it with monsters needing to be constantly feared, slain, controlled, mastered, created, to maintain 'goodness' and 'rightness' and sense of maintenance of an ' heroic self', and also simultaneously, via constant violence, maintain an unequal world where an oppressive cut-off mindset others those it considers inferior, including women, the 'poor', and animals, and very nature itself.

This was the pattern: The sun hero who vanquishes “evil” in the form of monster serpents or dragons was originally a moon hero, like Hercules, and as such the son/lover of the Great Goddess. In moon mysteries he overcame death in ecstatic self-transcendence experiencing luminous oneness with her. But when he becomes the patriarchal sun hero, he kills the Mother Goddess in Her dark underworld-serpent aspect. Instead of transcending his ego, he “transcends” the whole world, cosmic union giving way to worldly conquest and destruction of the sources of life. He destroys life in the name of “conquering death”. Jungian psychoanalysts interpret this process as the liberation of the individual ego---the male ego, of course---from the “forces of darkness” and “the unconscious”, i.e., the mother. The hero’s action in rescuing the “maiden” from the dragon symbolizes, Jung says, the freezing of his own anima—his essential self—from the “devouring” aspect of the mother. This almost suggests that woman, in herself, is merely a projection of the male anima; and indeed that’s what women are in most patriarchal systems. Jungians have never shown an awareness of the politics of mythology---or of mythology as the history of the preliterate real world. The sun hero is doing more than “liberating his ego” from the mother; he is “liberating” his being from responsibility to the being of the world. He liberates himself by arrogantly and recklessly destroying the interconnecting webwork of which he is a part---and then the “tragic hero” is surprised when he looks around himself, and sees nothing but wasteland and death…The sun hero slashes through the timeless web of interconnecting life energy and lays it all waste, in order to enjoy swift satisfaction, fame, and conquest. Conquest of what? Of the fact that life is paradox: (1) the fact that psychic powers are deeply hidden and dangerous, needing to be guarded by wisdom (the serpent guarding the treasure), and (2) the fact that their release can cause destruction as easily as integration. The sun hero wars against the double-edged reality of the cosmic process, slashing through paradox, denying cyclic recurrence and the serpent wisdom that comes with it, refusing to believe that his ego must die before the true magic power can be safely revealed. From Marduk to Superman, he is a little boy warring against the subtle (serpentine) nature of life: demanding it be made neat, simplistic, logical, unambiguous, designed as a flat stage for his triumph---and nothing more.

In The Second Sex Simone de Beauvoir catalogues men’s hatred and fear of woman because she presents him with the ambiguities with life and death, his classic response to these ambiguities is denial and conquest.

Magic Medicine

This is where mind-altering vegetation and substances come into being as a magic medicine for this dis-ease, which when openly embraced and explored, and not having a 'war' raged against their natural growth in nature, and humanity's respecful eating and drinking of them for spiritual insight and potential, can help re~solve the rigid structures of thinking which bind the mind to the insanity it is stuck in.

Let me remind of a quote from above:

Leeming regards resurrection as a common part of the heroic monomyth,[73][74] in which the heroes are resurrected, often as sources of "material or spiritual food for their people"; in this connection, Leeming notes that Christians regard Jesus as the "bread of life".

There are two ways at present of looking at this:

a) that it is taken metaphorically with ignorance about its meaning actual psychedelic vegetation, and experience, and thus is just words, and empty rituals, like eating thin wafers of bread and drinking wine in a Catholic ritual where no radical change of consciousness occurs;

and b) That even Christian initates, as Allegro claims in his book TSMC, very much did partake of mind-altering vegetation, because they believed it was their 'God' made flesh.
We are very familiar with (a), but not usually that much with (b), and thus that's the one I want to explore about.

So question:

why would eating mind-altering vegetation not open ones eyes to a particular solar/patriarchal myth one maybe is cultically involved with, and therefore cut-off from deeper roots?

This question really interests me, and in exploring this, I see a connection with other forms of exceptional experiences like NDEs, and OBEs, etc., where it is the metaphysical presumptions of the experiencer which can limit the experience to stay within their own expected conceptual boundaries; hence someone who is religiously orthodox, or even someone who is an 'atheist', but is inevitably brought up a theistic cultural paradigm where all the suggestive imagery they defy will affect them unconsciously, at least, and who may then, in visionary states, experience bibilical motifs, seeing 'Jesus' etc.

We are also familiar with some hippies who became 'Jesus Freaks' even after having had psychedelic experience--albeit maybe experiencing the belief system less dogmatically than your regular fundamentalist-- yet still not questioning the belief system and its patriarchal roots, and thus the political implications. I am not saying they cannot believe what they believe, but that I can choose to be critical and ask questions of others beliefs. I encourage the critical examination of myths, and to integrate this learning into one's psychedelic experience, because the reach of the dogmas can affect one in deep ways as I hope I have touched upon.

Clues as to why psychedelic users may have become disgusted with their animal aspect of being, their sexual needs, and so on, can be found in mythology, especially mythological imagery. We, for example see how many of the gods of the Old Religion are therianthropic--part animal and part human. In art we see this in depictions of the pagan god, Pan whose mostly lower half is reminding us of the animal's hairy hind-quarters, sexuality and so on, and he might also have animalistic ears, horns, nose. The Christian church used many of these characteristics to design their 'Devil'. So we see there very clearly the fear and disgust of an association between humans and animals. I am suggesting that the arising of a philosophical-dominant capacity caused the thinking rational part of the mind to create an aloof image of itself as being independent--though trapped--from its image of the the animal, the body, and nature. And so with such ideologies comes the felt need to 'purify' one's self from 'animalistic nature' and 'fallen nature' so as to escape to a pure realm above.

An ancient example of this change of mind from embracing earth-based paganism to world-denial even with those who would take a psychedelic sacrament can be found in Orphism which reformed the more ancient Dionysian Mysteries from which its philosophical branch arose. The latter were more akin to an open acceptance of the realitionship between humans and animals and nature, but the Orphics devised and writ down a mythology which gave the story of a divinity trapped in an evil human body, and natural world which could only escape through purification.
Also in the change in Greece from Totemistic mythos to Olympian polytheism there is clearly shown imagely how ancient gods related to animals and plants are suppressed for the wholly superhuman cartoon figures of the Olympian patheon.

Same is so for the myth of materialism, itself a myth which has grown out of the solar-hero-patriarchal mythos, but now even more dangerously dispenses with any notion of spirit, and rather glorifies 'Man's knowledge' and its technology.

To show the utlimate danger which already is decades old: as with the worship of Sol or sun, and all that entails, the sun patriarchally symbolized to mean light, reason, and masculinity, but also the very implementation of the power of the sun into their military weaponry as is the case with nuclear weapons, and industry.

Suddenly 'mankind' has the 'power of the sun' at his disposal, and no sooner was it put together in a phallic-shaped bomb (causing the infamous phallic and mushroom-shaped explosion cloud), its code name was "The Little Boy" , and"the agreed-upon message sent to Washington as a signal of successful detonation was " The baby was born"! Then 'mankind' dropped their "baby" on cities full of life!!

It is not hard to see the earlier toxic mythological dynamic acting out from their unconscious and into destructive action is it? For we see that since they historically dispensed with their concept of 'God', 'Man' has taken over from 'God' who is presumed 'dead', and now has given birth to a 'son' via his technology; a solar son. The First atomic test was code-named Trinity, signifying the same solar mythic symbolism, the Father, the Son, and Technology.

Many of us now horrifically find ourselves born into a world where the insanity of these unresolved solar myths are playing out all over the world. The souless exploitation, and control, over nature, over other species, other humans, and nature and of the Earth, of outer space, and they also have their mechanical eye on other planets that are 'earth-like', because they are driven and want to expand their empire, and so, like their previous psychotic invasion of the 'new world' starting in the 15th century, they would continiue taking their unconscious insanity to another unfortunate planet where they would continue with their rape of it, and exploitation of others if they could, because they are possessed by their destructive worldview.

However, unless they face what has happened to them historically and mythically due to inter-generational oppression, suppression, and repression, then whatever they do will be destructive, because they only experience reality with a shallow depth of their being, and they wage war on powerful vegetation and substances that could help them resolve the crises, experiencing the depths that they have shunned. And in order to experience the depths when taking psychedelics we must critically examine myths also.

It is precisely because the Deep part of us and nature is feared that it is believed to be filled with 'monsters'! And then in fear of our creations those very monsters (their creators) become the ones who suppress, and enforce repression in others. An infamous example of this inevitable process is the history of the religious Inquisition, and how in their crazed quest for destroying 'evil', and defeating their own mythical creation of the monster, the 'Devil', they instead unconsciously become their idea/myth/story as they sadistically torture defenseless women, children, and men, and perform mass murder, spreading horror and terror throughout communities, and even into the 'New World', and as we see this insanity continues unresolved.

Stop Censorship of Interactive Internet!! And EXPOSE the 'Entertainment Industry'!

2011-12-28T07:41:00.000-08:00

Please watch this video, and then please share it far and wide, also sending it to people you think can stop this censorship.

It exposes the mind-boggling hypocrisy and total arrogance of the so-called Entertainment Industry which on one hand made sure to push, provide, and induce 'copyright infringement' and therefore making MILLIONS from doing so, and with the next hand spend millions lobbying Government to persecute individuals who are 'caught infringing copyright', and even wanting the power to extradite individuals from other countries--which is the threat hanging over Richard O'Dowyer from the UK--and suing them and sending them to prison for years there! ALL to control the Internet.

Please take time to see the video and do what you can.

Thankyou

Mythmaking: Improvising the reenchantment of the world

2011-11-27T03:43:00.000-08:00

Language

Lots of people aren't happy are they? Some will scream at you if you say a reason is 'we are oppressed'. They will deny it, explain it away, apologise for it, usually mention Darwin, and claim that this is how things are supposed to be so deal with it, and it is naive to question the 'real world'... but I am a questioner and question all that myth. We live by myths. We live by stories, because all of this is a complete Mystery, isn't it? Do you know where you come from, why your here, and where your going, how all of this thisness came to even be? Like me? I don't. The only thing we have to explore these questions are stories, and our current ones have the mask of 'science' on which pretend to tell you what actually is the case, the "facts", "the reality"--but is that so?-- I am not trying to discount myths, but rather try and explore which are the ones that are benevolent from those which are malignant.

I consider the stories that are good to be ones that make us feel at ease, free, joyful, bubbling with sense of humour, real, inspired, and playful, and feeling deep with and respectful of nature, and stories that are bad make us mistrust ourselves, and others, paranoid, uneasy, seeing nature as dull, dead, dangerous, a commodity to misuse, a general dis-ease about ourselves and our bodies and the world, having no sense of meaning, and a desire to be sadistic and hurt others, and to be blind to goodness and evil. Like George Orwell revealed, there are those who want you to be befuddled and think war is peace, ignorance is strength, slavery is freedom.

Have you ever had a walk, or been sat down, doing the washing up, gardening, or just daydreaming, and you are aware of your thinking, and how your thoughts are naturally creating little stories? It can happen just glancing at a tree, or scratching your head-- and if you were asleep these thinkings and images would come to you as actual dreamscapes. Our story-making creativity is innate, we are creative beings living within a creative unfathomable mystery which manifests as such diverse forms, and markings, and colours and sounds, and feelings.

A huge part of the malignant tale many of us are incased within has to do with the "Word", with writing, language, spoken, and it can usually be as like the water fish swim in---invisible.

"... Authorities have always tended to honor and reward those who close man's mind by confusing his tongue, and have always tended to fear and punish those who open it by the plain and proper use of language. In so acting, authority has donned, successively, the mantle of Religion, of the State, and in our day, of Mental Health or Psychiatry. But it matters not whether confusion and stupefaction are inspired divinely, governmentally, or psychiatrically -- the result is the same: the parentification of authority and the infantilization of nearly everyone else...

Man is the animal that speaks. Understanding language is thus the key to understanding man; and the control of language, to the control of man." - Thomas Szasz

So words, written down, spoken at us, often repetitively, and then words inculcating our minds, mould our vision of the world, and the ones in control of the symbol systems are the ones who wield power over us. Let us take a look at the present myth of these technocratic times:

The coercive story is that you are a robot which has no free will! Think about this for a while.
What did this myth replace?

In the 'previous' orthodox religious Christian myth you were a 'sinner', born into 'original sin' for some disobedience your first so-called ancestors, Adam and Eve, did against 'God'. The sin was written down in a book about Adam and Eve eating fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil which God had forbidden. So the main point is that they had disobeyed God's will, and in so doing mankind was somehow in debt to 'Him' and his Church, and once the Christian myth was forced onto the world by Rome, the story was set down that this same 'Father' gave his only son, Jesus, as a blood sacrifice so that mankind's original sin/debt would be paid off if you were willing to be saved by the blood of Christ.

Esoteric Christian Myth

The covert, esoteric meaning of this myth is this:
Prior to the myth of Jesus, the Goddess had been demoted in various patriarchal mythologies. In the biblical myth of Genesis, the Goddess had been demoted to a mortal woman, Eve, and had been created from Adam's 'rib'. The 'rib' is really meaning the rib which goes all the way round, and whose shape resembles the cap of a mushroom, for as John Allegro explains in his book The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross, for these interpreters of the mind-altering mushroom, the stem of the mushroom referred to the phallus, bearing the cap envisaged as the woman's sexual part, the vulva.
In a past blog I have explored how this 'hidden' myth is also androcentric regarding its deifying the male 'God's sperm' (and therefore of course meaning male sperm) and demoting the Goddess' womb (and womens wombs) which for male-supremacists becomes mere receptacle for the 'superior' seed. So even in the deeper layers of the myth, which was for the understanding of the initiated only, we see this suppression of the Goddess, women, and nature!
In ancient Greek mythology we see how 'God's' creativeness, mind, as 'Logos', was the demoted Goddess, yet at least still recognized as feminine, but the biblical patriarchal myth-makers were not happy with this so a male logos was demanded which became the myth of Jesus. He was 'God made flesh'. He was the phallic psychoactive mushroom containing 'God's' powerful spermatozoa, which when eat, by the mindsets who believed this particular interpretation, would channel the 'word of God' as prophesied by the eater of the psychoactive fungi, and any other mind-altering vegetations.

This 'non-participatory' approach is also typical of New Agers and their 'channeling'. They claim to be in contact with some invisible entity, and then speak as if possessed by it. Monica Sjoo has explored how much of what these people supposedly 'channel' is often very reactionary and more so reflects their thinking, which can include prejudice against others, including women, people considered less developed than their own 'race', and so on. An example of this reactionary thinking is the channelings of the Theosophical Movement founder, Madam Blavatsky, and her 'revelation' about "root races" and the superiority of the 'white Aryan race', and of course this 'Secret Doctrine' was to greatly influence Adolf Hitler, the Nazis, and the myth of Nazi Germany!

Non-participatory 'channeling' comparison with visionary ecstatic experience

Sjoo compares the participatory forms of channeling with the more ancient immersive visionary ecstatic experience:

"[New Agers believe] 'light filled beings' work with us in mental communion...as mediators coming from our own thinking and intuition and involve intellectual understanding of 'higher worlds'; the emphasis being on the conscious...non-participatory and detached onlooker - consciousness fostered in patriarchal societies, as opposed to ecstatic mediumship women shamans' communications with Goddess/ nature and her spirit realms. W.I. Thompson...implies that the ancient ecstatic trance-states of the shaman, during which she or he lost their everyday consciousness, meant they were 'swamped by the unconscious'. I think that is precisely because men and women like Spangler, Trevelyan, Alice Bailey and Eileen Caddy fear to go into the deep and luminous darkness, where the Goddess is encountered in ecstatic visions and dreams, that the 'channelings' and voices they come up with are but creations of their own patriarchally conditioned and limited minds" [Return of the Dark/Light Mother or New Age Armageddon? Towards a Feminist Vision of the Future , page 156]

The people who do this may very well believe they are being channeled, but the danger is that what we often 'hear' channeled sounds very like limited views that create division between people, and the body, women, other species, nature and people of colour! This 'nonordinary' form of theatre will usually collects followers whose critical thinking seems to be left at the door. And this is precisely how dangerous myths originate and proliferate when people tend to accept and stop asking questions.
How for example are we to know that they really are channeling some invisible entity, and even if they were, does that justify being told information we do not agree with, and feel right with, because their invisibility somehow makes what they communicate beyond questioning? Should we not also question actual non-ordinary entities if we had to, and if we so chose, if we did not agree with what we were being told, surely this is our own free will?

There is a link between the prophets of the Bible and New Age channeling. The very Hebrew term for prophet, "nebi", literally means "channel", and if we remember that the 'God' these so-called prophets were supposed to be channeling was the very same invention of a patriarchal priesthood who suppressed the Goddess in their storytelling this should make us very wary as to what was being channeled! Who was the prophecy benefiting? Surely the very mythmakers themselves who wanted us to believe in an absolute dualism between a 'creator' and his 'creation', and have people ashamed of their disobedient ancestors, Adam and Eve, and thus of themselves and others.

Authentic mythology

I think it is always important to understand the essence of authentic mythology. It is not history, it is you and me actually participating ourselves in ecstasy and experiencing communion with our depths and nature's depths in a dynamic continuum. It is not dependent on author-ity as such, of a set-in-stone interpretation, no matter how ancient, because experience is dynamic and living now; but of course sensing ancient mythos or stories or folklore which also respects these deep meanings connects us via meaning through time and space, for in these ecstatic realms time and space yields their usual hold over our sense of history, the 'past', 'present', and the 'future,' that rigid sense time which is of course promoted by a mechanistic culture which encapsulates us in a linear view of mechanical time.

The insane world any sane person can see right now is the toxic fruit of millenia of the denial of, and violence imposed against the freedom of sacrificing rigid views which divide us from our own being, nature, and others, animals and humans. Many people take this situation for granted, as the only reality, and some will fiercely defend the actuality of, for example, dropping bombs from aeroplanes, onto babies, children, women, men, other species. They will also accept the same about the millions of animals who are tortured and killed in the name of science, and the food industry, and corporate product 'testing', and what is being done to Mother Earth in the name of 'progress'.

Learned Helpessness

Many also feel so battered from so much abuse, coming from all different angles relentlessly that this can have the psychological effect of inducing "learned helplessness" This terrible psychological torture was, as usual, first used on animals:

Experiment - Detail

In Part 1 of Seligman and Steve Maier's experiment, three groups of dogs were placed in harnesses. Group 1 dogs were simply put in the harnesses for a period of time and later released. Groups 2 and 3 consisted of "yoked pairs." A dog in Group 2 would be intentionally subjected to pain by being given electric shocks, which the dog could end by pressing a lever. A Group 3 dog was wired in parallel with a Group 2 dog, receiving shocks of identical intensity and duration, but his lever didn't stop the electric shocks. To a dog in Group 3, it seemed that the shock ended at random, because it was his paired dog in Group 2 that was causing it to stop. For Group 3 dogs, the shock was apparently "inescapable." Group 1 and Group 2 dogs quickly recovered from the experience, but Group 3 dogs learned to be helpless, and exhibited symptoms similar to chronic clinical depression.

In Part 2 of the Seligman and Maier experiment, these three groups of dogs were tested in a shuttle-box apparatus, in which the dogs could escape electric shocks by jumping over a low partition. For the most part, the Group 3 dogs, who had previously learned that nothing they did had any effect on the shocks, simply lay down passively and whined. Even though they could have easily escaped the shocks, the dogs didn't try.

In a second experiment later that year, Overmier and Seligman ruled out the possibility that the Group 3 dogs learned some behavior in Part 1 of the experiment, while they were struggling in the harnesses against the "inescapable shocks," that somehow interfered with what would have been their normal, successful behavior of escaping from the shocks in Part 2. The Group 3 dogs were immobilized with a paralyzing drug (Curare), and underwent a procedure similar to that in Part 1 of the Seligman and Maier experiment. A similar Part 2 in the shuttle-box was also undertaken in this experiment, and the Group 3 dogs exhibited the same "helpless" response.

However, not all of the dogs in Seligman's experiments became helpless. Of the roughly 150 dogs in experiments in the latter half of the 1960s, about one-third did not become helpless, but instead managed to find a way out of the unpleasant situation despite their past experience with it. The corresponding characteristic in humans has been found to correlate highly with optimism: an explanatory style that views the situation as other than personal, pervasive, or permanent. This distinction between people who adapt and those who break down under long-term psychological pressure was also studied in the 1950s in the context of brainwashing"

This is a rigid unfeeling mindset which believes animals are machines, and have no rights at all, and are here for 'mankind's' goal of 'scientific exploration' and 'product testing'. These 'experiements' reveal more about the 'experimenters' than they do about anything else. But one of the reasons I mention this vile evil experiment is to show that how they think and feel about other species they feel about humans, and a big reason for this kind of research is to control us as like they do their captive 'lab-animals'.

Our 'shocks (and their cops now can actually use electrocution weapons on us) are what their propaganda delivers, fear mongering, keeping us in a permanent state of shuddering anxiety, worry, and paranoia, fear for survival, and of course, if in line of fire, having bombs raining down on us filling the air and water and earth and our bodies with depleted uranium, and other forms of pollution, bullets flying our way, etc. Along with their abuse on animals, causing also massive extinctions of species, and humans, they do the same with the natural world---deforestation, pesticides, fracking, oil spills, genetic engineering, radiation pollution, etc etc.

Tarsands--Ecocide

And it seems no matter what you do you cannot turn these shocks off, and if you 'turn' one off, two or three etc pop up to shock you more, no sense of power,---so eventually many people become very despondent, demoralized, feeling helpless, learned helplessness. This constant brutal attack on planet Earth, Mother Earth, which together with the abuses possible from day-to-day living in cultures which are all affected by this overall insanity in the way people, families behave with each other will of course have real effects on our sense of well~being, and when we naturally 'cannot cope', this will be classed by the mechanistic myth as a 'breakdown of the biological-chemical machine' called 'mental illness', and toxic drugs are pushed as 'treatment', and of course they have the ECT machines also at the ready to "shock you out of 'clinical depression' --more shocks; these people seem to love shocking others don't they? Some people are not allowed to be aware of, and/or are in denial just how brutal everything is! One mustn't know one is oppressed for the very 'knowing' is considered mental illness, and even if you don't know but get 'symptoms' of being oppressed you receive the same diagnosis!

The thread of 'thinkers' who maintain the divisive mechanistic myth, and the City

To reiterate then, the current malignant myth of these Earth, animal , and human, torturers is that humans too are robots with no free will, and the 'thinkers' responsible for the making of, and contributing to, this myth include Rene Descartes, Sir Issac Newton, Thomas Hobbes, Wilhelm Wundt, Charles Darwin, Richard Dawkins, Stephen Hawking, etc. And many believe this prevailing myth because it is dressed up as philosophy, and science, but is really pseudoscience also known as scientism. This myth took over the orthodox religious myth previously oppressing people and nature, but of course has absorbed it unconsciously--So now, for example, instead of the myth of the 'City of God', or 'New Jerusalem', in some future promised to the "faithfull", the vision now is for a promised Technocratic and Pharmacratic City of Man for those who will follow the technocacy without questioning it or challenging it.

City-states derive from the patriarchy, the 'city-state' originally 'polis' in Greek, is where our term politics comes from. Men in robes/suits with grim faces in 'control'---the 'management', running things.

"Our word "politics" is derived from the Greek word polis. Sometimes this word is translated "city-state." But it means more than just "Los Angeles" or "New York City." The Polis was part of an ideology. We could even speak of the Polis as a religion. When we speak of "the polis," we speak of the Humanistic faith that man's institutions—specifically the State, with its philosopher-kings (Harvard-trained bureaucrats), its "smart-bombs" and its manipulation of the economy—can bring social salvation."

Urbane men of the city would look down on, belittle, and secretly fear, the 'pagans', which actually means countrydwellers. What the secular mindset does then is replace 'God' with 'Man', and the promise now is not some emerald, and jewel laden, gold paved, city from God, but the Transhumanist techno-state built by 'Man'.
So see how they first create a story or myth which claims we are biological computers, and then offer the means to 'upgrade' us and nature in some promised future with advanced technological parts. Meanwhile their mass entertainment media primes impressionable young minds for this brave new world--called 'predictive programming'-- so it will appear cool to get chips put into the body and therefore be able to immerse oneself deeply into the entertainment provided by the big corp sponsors.

The psychedelic transhumanism infiltration

The most well-known and influential leaders in the psychedelic community, Timothy Leary, Terrence McKenna, and Robert Anton Wilson (both Leary and Wilson were deep Aleister Crowley devotees) spanning the generations were psychedelic transhumanists? Leary "predicted" genetic manipulation of the body, and leaving Earth in spaceships, and was against the Ecology Movement which he thought was a hundrance to 'our' destiny of leaving the "womb planet" Earth, and this is all laid out in his book Exopsychology.

McKenna "predicted" (his mentor was Aldous Huxley who also "predicted" the elites control over the masses) everyone being able to download their minds/consciousness to a central computer and thus be 'immortal', and us "returning to galactic Centre". These charismatic leaders are rarely questioned because it is not considered 'cool' to do so. To me this is the softening up of people to trust the powers -that-be's technological myth as saviour, and making it seem a cool hip thing to get microchipped, and 'upgraded' without seriously questioning ulterior motives, and being aware of how this agenda is connected with the long history of brutalization of others, and nature.
The pressure to conform to this cyborgism will be 'terrorist threat', and the money threat--that if you dont confrom and get chipped then you will be seen as suspicous, having something to hide, and also not being able to get money to live, and of course being 'uncool' as many people who don't own or use mobile phones will be made to feel. Feeling afraid to be seen as 'inferior'.

Arron Russo, interviewed by Alex Jones, claimed his friend, one of the Rockefellers, told him that they wanted people chipped so they had quicker access to turn their money-supply off via computer. More dependence more power! So the 'McKenna cool' will be used as carrot to get the 'cool people'to not question their agenda, but rather willingly plug their brains into the State computer, the stick.

It doesn't really matter whether, Leary, McKenna, and RAW, were aware they were feeding the elitst agenda, but that people unquestioningly accept what is being said without critical examination. As of old, it will suit the controllers to infiltrate the movements who use mind-altering substances because even though these substances can and do help us see through such propaganda, they can also be used to inculcate dangerous belief systems. In the past it will have been the belief that nature and the body were traps capturing a 'divine spark', as was the myth of Orphism, and Gnosticism, movements themselves influenced by Eastern philosophy, and in turn influencing Christianity.

David Icke's paranoid neo-Gnostic myth

Another 'leader' who is a big influence on people looking for alternative understandings of reality is David Icke, but Icke is also coming from a neo-Gnostic perspective. He believes that there are evil entities who prevent us, even after death, from 'progressing' into 'spiritual liberation' (in Gnosticism these 'evil entities' were called the "Archons"), and keep us 'coming back' to Earth to be slaves of the elite who themselves are shapeshifting "Draco reptilians". David Icke claims to have drank the South American psychedelic brew, Ayahuasca, and in the experience which followed, he reports he was told by a supernatural feminine voice that the moon, and all reality we see is a sinister illusory construct of these evil entities, and how their base is on the 'artifical' moon and they try and mindbend us for evil purposes. Of course, all of this nonesense is malignant myth, creating a paranoia about nature, others, the cosmos, and even nonordinary experience like NDEs etc, which are our depths, and yet he also ironically harps on about "infinite love"!

The myth of the biochemical machine

When looked at closely, the patriarchal mindset and its proliferation of myths, all try and denigrate the natural world either by demonizing it, calling it illusory, or mechanical and dead. So even though one branch of such beliefs may criticize another branch they yet still carry on the same fear-ridden agenda at root. As Silvia Federici reveals, they have created a false pseudo reality using all fields, religion, philosophy, theatre, literature, 'science', and so on, to make us believe we are machines living in a mechanical world, and universe. They thus choose to dis~enchant the body and nature. They did all this to fit us into their industrial fascism/Capitalism. This is why the drugs they aren't waging 'war' against treat us like machines. If you are sad they push anti-depressant pills at you which do not encourage any deep exploration of the roots of your sadness, the meaniings, nor recognizing how the people and culture around you may be contributing to your dis-ease, but are to crudely, supposedly, 'regulate' chemicals in your brains, for we are said to be--in their myth-- biochemical machines who when not 'functioning 'normally' this means our chemicals are 'out of balance'.

Same is so with visionary experience which can possess us, and other nonordinary experience; these phenomena can be termed 'psychotic' by the mental health movement, and they have 'anti-psychotics' at the ready to suppress what in actuality are the self-healing powers of our deeper spiritual being. But the 'mental health' mythmakers want to turn all this deep experience 'off'--as though we are a machine-- with their drugs and in doing so often do great harm to body and soul. This is hard to see for many because the whole staged scenario built-up around us and inculcated within us is geared to the belief we are frantic driven biochemical android consumers, be 'normal', shop or die!

The roots of the fear and hatred of nature

So all of this pressure to conform is built-up all around us and in us, and even avenues that seem to offer escape are also coming from same toxic root-stock---one which makes us paranoid about Earth, our bodies, others, and other species, and it is this fear we need to see through because planet Earth's Web of Life is literally being destroyed. If it is not demonized, it is said to be merely illusory, or just a mere machine with no feeling or soul or depths on being in eternal communion with our depths of being. So what are the roots of this schism?

As I understand, it is when the 'son' becomes hostile to his 'mother', and then this is enforced on others, and on nature for nature has very anciently been seen to be a mother, for we are born out of our mums, and thus nature, and are nurtured both by mum and nature, and then die within nature.

Why would a son become matricidal (and this is shown very dramatically to occur for the first time writ down as mythology in the Bablylonian myth, Enuma Elish where Marduk--the son--attacks the Great Cosmic Mother Goddess, Tiamat, Her name also literally meaning the 'Deep', the ocean, the Mother of all, from whence all life came)?

"[T]he Enuma Elish is the first story of the replacing of a mother goddess who generates creation as part of herself by a god who "makes" creation as something separate from himself" The male act of creation presented in the Enuma Elish is accompanied through the murder and mutilation of the primordial Mother Goddess, arguably the most extreme and invidious denial of female generativity conceivable'

Tiamat and Marduk, the wisest of gods, advanced against one another.
They pressed on to single combat, they approached the battle.
The lord spread out his net and enmeshed her.
The evil wind, following after, he let loose in her face.
When Tiamat opened her mouth to devour him,
He drove the evil wind, in order that she should not be able to close her lips.
The raging winds filled her belly;
Her belly became distended, and she opened wide her mouth.
He shot off an arrow, and it tore into her interior;
it cut through in inwards parts, it slit her heart.
When he had subdued her, he destroyed her life;
He cast down her carcass and stood above it.” (Heidel, Babylonian Genesis, 40-41)

Well, we all have free will, and can make choices. I can this minute go out and murder, or kiss someone, if I so choose, but I choose not to, but the possibility is there. Same is so for someone who chooses to join the military and kill others, to drop a nuclear bomb on Hiroshima, or joining a police force and use force against peaceful people in the streets, and so on.
I think it is something to do with when the thinking part of the self assumes dominance over feeling---this can be clearly seen in Rene Descartes' case: His philosophical epiphany was "I think therefore I am", and then his 'thinking' would suppress any feelings he may have naturally had regarding the animals feelings he tortured thinking them machines. The empathic interrelationship he repressed. The animals became objects to his objectively thinking-mind.

The moon god and the Dark Goddess

In prepatriarchal mythology, the moon god willingly descends into the underworld, realm of the Goddess, in her dark aspect, usually symbolized with dragons and serpents. This is also symbolized of course as the phases of the moon, where the Dark Moon is the Crone, Hekate, and from whence is mystery, the unknown, death and regeneration. So we can plainly see how the imagery of 'out there' is correlating mythically, imaginatively, associatively, with the 'in here' process of transformation. Nature is respected and reflects our own depths of dynamic being.

With the androcentric mythmakers, or the 'sons' who rebel against their Mother, the natural world, they create myths envisaging a sun god replacing the moon god and therefore we begin seeing images, and are told stories, which become written down, of 'heros' storming into the underworld, province of the dark aspect of the Goddess, and attacking and killing dragons and serpents: sun-hero Perseus beheading the Goddess Medusa is a good example! So there appears to be a simultaneous fear and suppression of their own depths, and of 'wild nature.'

---In biblical myth the God says "I AM WHO I AM", and in philosophical myth Rene Descartes says "I think therefore I am" This arrogant stance of 'I am' assumes a predominance over all that I think I am not, including all the dark unknowingness of mine and nature's being, of otherness.
'I AM'! is kind of stubborn brattish defiant stance that will not yield to the dark mysterious engulfment and loss of control that is source of ego-death and rebirth. It 'KNOWS', and will not 'suffer' unknown events which will transform. It cannot see how 'life' and 'death' are words which have been abstracted by a thinking mind to appear as intellectually independent objects, rather than terms describing dynamic continuum which cannot be grasped by language which presumes analytical abstractions are real in themselves, and even in actual conflict with each other. You can clearly see this theme throughout such kind of thinking, religiously, philosophically, secularly, and so on.

Livingdyingregenerating swirling flowing mythic experience

I love imagery. When I am in nature, and look at trees, and leaves blowing in the wind, and moving clouds, and the air on my skin, and my moving thoughts and inner images, all of this is magical and full of meaning. Also when I see images creatively portrayed in mythology, including the imagery in the patriarchal myth the Garden of Eden (which the word denigrates) this all fascinates me~~~the sacred tree, the serpent in the tree, the magic fruit, and the transformation the eating of this fruit brings, all beautiful, powerful.

I also love the ancient Welsh myth of the Goddess, Ceridwen and her Cauldron, which she has a boy, Gwion, stir. She is brewing a magical elixir for her ugly son, but I do not have to go into the detail of this myth word for word following the letter of 'established' tale, although I am aware of it, because I sense its inner meaning from the imagery of the tale. How the drinking of the magical psychedelic brew transforms the person into other forms of life including animals, fish and so on.
I can imagine the stirring of the brew in the moonlight making a swirling blue~black dark bubbling intensely living vortex as she chants spiralling melodies which you will fall into and doing so spin into unfathomable mysteries because this is where death is, and whereever death is so is life and regeneration.

Claim: The Associated Press are Sitting on Huge story of 'Free Energy' Revolution

2011-10-31T07:59:00.000-07:00

This article below is claiming that there has been an revolutionary discovery of 'Free Energy', 'E cat', that is on par with: ...the invention of the radio, the Internet, the light bulb and the atom bomb

And yet, and yet, have you heard about this 'big story' from any mainstream media?... No?

eCat Censorship: AP News Report Killed Off

The Associated Press have been sitting on the Andrea Rossi World Exclusive for 4 days now. If you ever wondered if your media was controlled, then surely you have your answer now.

In fact, other news coverage live from the event was apparently curtailed to give AP their supposed "exclusive". You need to get angry about this and start holding those people to account, because this is Chinese style information censoring in it's purest form.

On Friday, an event that could possibly change the course of human history occurred, but unless you are one of a small contingent, you would be forgiven for knowing absolutely nothing about it. A 1MW cold fusion reactor designed and built by Italian Andrea Rossi was successfully tested in Bologna, Italy. For over 5 hours it self-sustained producing 470Kwh / p/h with no input power. If this is not worthy of a news story, then I don't know what it.

The old Pons And Fleischmann Argument

Blaming the previous history of Pons and Fleischmann for the lack of news coverage, and that somehow the media are reluctant to look stupid, is a tired and limp argument that is consistently regurgitated by people who refuse to wake up to the truth that they live in an information prison. It's a convenient excuse, dragged out by mainstream apologists who refuse to believe what they know deep down.

On the day of Friday Oct 28th, AP (Associated Press) were flying in a reporter, supposedly from New York to cover the momentous event. Even then, the word is that they had to have their arm twisted to even show up, but someone did turn up in the form of Peter Svensson, Technology Writer for the Associated Press, NY, who told Sterling Allan that "the reason the mainstream press hasn't been covering this is because Rossi has been very picky about who he lets in".

Rossi Blamed

Well, even if it were true that Rossi was being selective about which media he allowed to be present, the fact remains that AP WERE THERE, THEY DID GET IN and they DID get the "exclusive" on the night, so the only thing holding themselves back from publishing it NOW is what precisely?

American Reporter Gets The Brush Off From AP

Online newspaper "American Reporter" has been following the eCat story also. Editor in Chief Joe Shea made enquiries to AP and was given the runaround also:

"This reporter, in fact, was warned by someone named Jerome on its national desk in the early hours of Saturday morning not to be too quick to believe an A.P. Reporter was there - although his name, Peter Svensson, and picture with other journalists appears on some of those sites tonight - and I was criticized for "driving A.P. coverage" of the event." - Joe Shea

He went on..

"Since the E Cat is just as important as the invention of the radio, the Internet, the light bulb and the atom bomb, and since - as DOE spokesman Sean Murphy told reporters in 2009 about the device's fundamental element, hydrogen - so it can completely replace oil by 2050, this reporter thought he was doing the A.P. a favor when he called up their national desk and told them about it just 30 hours or so before the test."

"Associated Press Science Editor Kit Frieden (kfrieden@ap.org) didn't answer her phone when we called, but I'll will bet you dollars to donuts 1,500 calls from A.P. members would not get her to budge.

"There are no conspiracies, Joe" an A.P. editor in London told me. We sure wonder."

Resist The Supression

I strongly urge everyone reading this to make it your priority to share, discuss, talk and propagate the eCat story as far and as wide as is possible within your social networks. Let the corporate media know that this won't go away..

I wouldn't blame anyone for writing to, emailing or faxing AP to ask (politely) why they have chosen to spike the story of the century and keep countless millions living in ignorance of a clean energy future. Is it any wonder that newspaper readership is down year on year and that more and more people are finding their news from alternative sources who don't have corporate agendas?

What has happened here is a form of free energy supression where hiding the truth is as simple as not telling the masses the news of revolutionary clean energy technology.

Aleister Crowley, the core layer of the matrix, and 9/11 was an occult job

2011-09-02T06:15:00.001-07:00

The size of the lie is a definite factor in causing it to be believed, for
the vast masses of a nation are in the depths of their hearts more
easily deceived then they are consciously & intentionally bad. The
primitive simplicity of their minds renders them more easily prey to a
big lie then a small one, for they themselves often tell little lies but
would be ashamed to tell a big one.
-- Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, 1923

"The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes."
— Benjamin Disraeli

"The people don't want war, but they can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and for exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country." - Hermann Goering.

“Despite all its drawbacks there was never a better social system than the feudal, so far as it derives from the patriarchal” http://hermetic.com/crowley/confessions/chapter63.html

I first became aware how mytholological writing and symbolism can be composed in layers after reading The Sacred Mushroom and The Cross, by John Marco Allegro, years ago.

Allegro reveals how the writers of mythologies, including the biblical mythology, would use all forms of literary devices such as 'dead' languages like Sumerian, transliteration, wordplay, and so on, to hide the names of entheogenic sacred mushrooms from the unitiated, to create narratives, as well as hide the inner meanings, and there are mainly three layers: the surface layer which is for the morality tales, mostly aimed at literalist believers who had no way of being able to study the deeper core narratives so composed by elitist groups who had access to knowledge unavailable to others, then we have the layer which include different theological intellectual interpretations of the text, and then hidden is inner core layer communicating the real meaning of the myth for the the initiated. This schema is how I see the matrix created now by an occult around and in us via means of propaganda and sorcery.

That the inner core is from an initiated elite, and hidden, does not make it the truth, something which I have explored--regarding the biblical Christian initiates myth of the entheogenic mushrooms-- here , but exposing these hidden narratives, becoming aware of them, is the undermining of myths that bind us if their intention is that. We can only know this and explore this for ourselves when we directly come into contact with them. I have become more and more aware of these layers of narrative being created around us especially since the events of 9/11.

September 11th 2001

Let us begin with what happened on that early sunny morning of the 11th of September 2001, infamously known as '9/11' in New York city. This day is a pivotal day for an occult elite, and has been used by them and their powers that be to justify pre-emptive wars, ecocide, genocide, the incacerating of innocent people, torture, and the general loss of liberties for more and more people.

'9/11' has an occultist signature all over it 'hidden in plain sight'. This information is so exceptionally weird and incongruent to many peoples worldviews, who abide psychologically in a mechanistic universe, that they will either not see it, ignore it, or attack and even call investigators of it crazy for wanting to even talk about this.
Others may say that the very looking into this 'rabbit hole' actually creates what you are looking at, and so it is a worthless pursuit which can drive you 'mentally ill'. I know all these accusations from personal experience. But somebody's gotta do it!

Serial killers, for example, often leave cryptic clues, and this is a game they play with the detectives they know will be looking for them. A serial killer from the 1960s known as The Zodiac Killer did just that, leaving strange codes for the police, and journalists, to puzzle over and try and fathom. These clues weren't created by the people looking for them, they were real, as were the dead bodies that were found in his wake. Apparently they have never found him, but knew from the codes he left that he was the zodiac killer.

I encourage people not to be put off by such attacks against investigating about this very important subject. Like the more 'mundane' propaganda, the propagandists rely on us being unaware or sub-conscious of it, and so do the sorcerers too.

First Layer

The surface layer narrative of 9/11 is the literal Hollywood movie-like Official Conspiracy Theory, or OCT for short (first time I saw the exploding WTC towers on the news after turning the TV on I thought it was a film);
19 terrorists armed with box-cutters hijack and fly four passenger planes with very limited pilot experience, , whilst also managing to amazingly slip the notice of the American superpower's national military multi-billion dollar defence, and successfully fly three of them into their chosen targets, the World Trade Centre twin towers, which their suicide efforts bring both utterly dramatically down with the planes fuel calculated to melt and or weaken the steel columns of the structures, and also ,as a bonus, post mortem, manage to 'miraculously' bring World Trade Centre 7 down without any 'plane' being flown into it; these lucky terrorists also manouvre a plane almost level with the ground and enter it into the Pentagon. 'Flight 93' apparently 'crashed', and the Mastermind behind all of this 'successful operation', millions were all told by the mass media, as the attacks were happening on TV screens, was the exotically moviestyle handsome, Osama Bin Laden who directed his terrorists, al Qaeda, from the caves of Afghanistan. They did it we are told because 'they hated our freedoms', and thus chose to martyr themselves so they could go to an afterlife paradise and be catered to by 70 virgins.
Out of the huge fireball and massive devastation of 9/11 attack in New York city a passport of one of the terrorists is miraculously found unscathed.

Second Layer

The next layer is a complex mix of conspiracy theories. Some bleed into each other, in that there are so many confounding inconsistencies to do with the events of 9/11 that you can have complex recipes of belief about what happened, and much of the information is exceptional, like this one which analysizes the so-called 'coincidences' between what happened on 9/11 and what happened in the London Bombings--the UK's 9/11--which happened on the 7th of July 2005 and is known as 7/7. This is a very important video series to make the effort to see, because in order to connect the dots it is wise not to create a dichotomy between the 'mundane' clues and the more 'weird occult clues', but rather see a continuum of clues, and evidence, and with the right brain/whole mind investigate that this was meticulously planned way in advance of 9/11.

Leonard Shlain, author of the book The Alphabet and the Goddess. talks in this lecture about the difference between left and right brains. The left brain sees one~at~a~time just how you are reading these words, and this mode is linear, rational, logical, measured. Right brain sees all~at~once, as when we look at a view in nature, a painting, someone's face, and the information is dynamic and complex yet we absorb it in a non-linear way. Right brain sees patterns, connections, how parts interelate with wholes. The 'education' system we are enforced to attend coerces the left-brain at the expense of right-brain with its emphasis on left brain subjects like the Three Rs, reading, writing, and arthimetic~~daydreaming is punished. Right brain does no disclude left brain, and critical thinking, but left-brain pre-dominance does tend to suppress the right brain both inwardly and outwardly.

The types of researchers looking at the core layer of the matrix:

Researchers examining the core conspiracy of 9/11, 7/7. e.t.c., I put into two camps; in one camp are the Christians who claim that the Bible 'predicts' all that the 'satanists' are doing, and who themselves demonize everything non-Christian, thus lumping all 'pagans', and 'heretics', into the same evil group they call the Illuminati, and claiming that homosexuality, and bisexuality, and taking psychedelics, and beliving in the Goddess, must mean you are Illuminati and evil.
What the Christians never admit, and usually blame it on the 'bad Christians'--which is simply demonizing members of their own belief system--is how their beliefs can flip certain people over into its opposite position of Devil worship.
This is what happened to to the aself accalimed "wickedest man in the world" Aleister Crowley, who will be discussed more below, for he was an only child brought up in a very strict Christian fundamentalist Christian belief system by his parents who belonged to the Plymouth Brethren. He was not allowed any joy in his young life, and could only read the Bible. Then he was enforced into the private schools which combined sadistic punishment and coercive biblical indoctrination, so he was damaged, and made to hate the 'god of love' Jesus, and embrace his enemy the Devil.

In the other camp are the New Agers who, in 'exposing the occult elite', usually also dissemniate the Gnostic-like myth that nature is a "3 D" delusion fostered on us by evil reptilian aliens who are in form hybrid with the elite. David Icke, one of the main leaders of this group, even believes the moon is an artifical construct, and the home-base for evil aliens who are intent on seriously deleteriously messing with our minds. I call 'paranoia-ist', it is a fear-inducing myth which makes people distrust the natural world, the 'other'(an example: David icke 'warns' that the Illuminati-hybrid-aliens love to feed off our negative energy, and yet the myth he puts out do exactly that, making people even fear the moon!), and that is the very last storytelling we need when Mother Earth is under attack from 'different' insane mindsets.

In Goddess spirituality anciently, the moon, and all of nature, and its continuum with the universe, is sacred. Patriarchal myths have been formulated that try and divide humans from this sense of the sacred and this is the very roots of our problems which I am intent on exploring in this article.

If we feel divided from our body, feelings, emotions, and nature we are easily manipulated by those who proclaim they have the answer to our 'problems'--the very problems their myths inculcate into us, and this same strategy is employed by all the different branches of this dominator mindset, from the Illuminati, to the Abrahamic belief systems, the secular propaganda, which includes the 'education' system, and mass media, scientism, the New Age cults , and so on.
Exploring the roots of all this makes it easier to see how things are connected, and why some of the very confusing things are happening in the world today.

The further back into history, and pre-'history' (into pre-literal times) one goes, it is not 'God' that is found there but the Goddess, and this is an important clue to keep in mind as we proceed in this inquiry which many researchers don't seem aware of. In Goddess religion of the Earth, Earth, and cosmos, they are not created by a male 'God' disconnected from his creation, but rather understood by the ancients to be the very body of the Great Goddess, the Womb from which all creation springs from, returns to, and regenerates, cyclically, and eternally. So this is where I, as researcher of this subject, am coming from. I dont know of any other current living researcher who is! I am sure there must be, but I am not aware of anyone.

A mindset came to be which was allowed itself to become left-brained, egoist, and obsessed with weaponry and military-conquest, who felt disconnected from their body, feelings and Mother nature, and projected this dis-ease onto other peoples of the Goddess whose lands they invaded. They worshipped gods of light and fire, the same elements they deified for bringing them their weapons forged from fire and light, and which gave them their technological 'power' over other species, humans, and nature.

We are free to choose. We are not puppets of some 'God' or 'gods', and these people 'chose' to become alienated from the Web of Life. Them ignore-antly doing so however does not make it alright, because as that mindset has progressed and continues with vastly dangerous technology, the very Web of Life now is seriously under threat for all beings, human and other species, and Mother Earth Herself, and this is why now we must not waver in exploring the roots of the problem so we can hopefully pull it out by becoming aware of what is going on. Some may not even choose to look, because it is too horrendous to contemplate, but not looking just contributes and supports this matrix via ignore~ance, and we need to be responsible, not just for ourselves but all others, and others to come. This looking and speaking out is ther real meaning of apolcalypse from Gk. apokalyptein "uncover, disclose, reveal".

The Matrix and Aleister Crowley

The matrix is that behind the scenes are magickians in pointy hats plotting, and having their intelligence agencies carrying out their magick sacrificial blood rituals like 9/11, and 7/7, wars, massacres, which summon spirits, and set their agenda for the New Age. Their prophet of their New Aeon/Age/New World Order is Aleister Crowley!

Meanwhile, the occult elite covertly doing this terrible bloody magick, go to great lengths and spend vast amounts of money--plundered over many centuries from the people they consider slaves and cattle, us, and our ancestors, and Mother Earth's (money, unlike real wealth, cannot be eat)wealth to fund institutions, such as their enforced 'education' system, their mental health movement, mass media, and their entertainment industry, to make us believe that we, and other species, are machines, and nature and the universe is a mindless machine without any spiritual depth, and life is meaningless, the only activities thus worth pursuing being consumerism, and manic productivity so to consume more successfully, and if we feel oppressed then we must be 'mentally ill' and defective biological machines which will need toxic drugs to fix us. Sacred medicine, which can help us see through this matrix, and help us remember our deep eternal relationship with Mother Earth is prohibited.

Aleister Crowley and his magick numbers
“I bind my blood in Satan, All that lieth betwixt my hands To thee, the Beast, and thy control, I pledge me; body, mind and soul.”
~ Aleister Crowley (Satanic Extracts)*”

William Ramsey (listen to his interview here) in his book, Prophet of Evil: Aleister Crowley, 9/11 and the New World Order claims that the numbers directly involved in the 9/11 atrocity, 11, 77, 93, and 175 (the flight numbers), are numbers directly linked to Aleister Crowley's occult magickal numerology and practicies!

"'The number 11 has a very strong influence on Crowley and suffuses all of his writings, and he tried to inculate it into all of his teachings...[11] symbolizes destruction, violence, defeat and death" Also, according to another researcher into the occult meaning of 9/11, Freeman from the Freeman Perspective claims 11 is the number of the magickian, which is the 11th sephira on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, known as Da'at, that jumps above the 10 sephira ('God') ('Kether').

Crowley wrote a book titled Liber 77, and claimed 77 was the septenary, and was 11x7 - a magickal number, and is also a symbol of Capricorn, the Devil in the Tarot cards. In Anton LaVey's Satanic Bible, there are 77 names of the Devil.

93 "is the only number which totally relates to Crowley—within the occult tradition there is no antecedence...The 93 are the Kabbalic numbers of his two primary words in Greek: Thelema (‘will’) and Agape, both equalling 93, and the chief entity he was in contact with was Aiwass (see image onthe left), and in Hebrew Aiwass is also 93. So 77 and 93 are very important gematria-Kabbalah relationships to Crowley".

Aiwass was a spirit Crowley invoked and he claims dictated to him the Liber AL vel Legis or The Book of Law from which comes the well-known saying 'Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law." It also says: "“Let my servants be few and secret: they shall rule the many and the known,” the communicator revealed. The message continued: “We have nothing with the outcast and the unfit; let them die in their misery. For they feel not. Compassion is the vice of kings; stamp down the wretched and the weak: this is the law of the strong: this is our law and the joy of the world. … Love one another with burning hearts; on the low men trample in the fierce lust of your pride, in the day of your wrath. … Pity not the fallen! I never knew them. I am not for them. I console not; I hate the consoled and the consoler. … I am unique and conqueror. I am not of the slaves that perish. Be they damned and dead. Amen. … Therefore strike hard and low, and to hell with them, master. … Lurk! Withdraw! Upon them! This is the law of the Battle of Conquest: thus shall my worship be about my secret house. … Worship me with fire and blood; worship me with swords and with spears. Let the woman be girl with a sword before me: let blood flow in my name. Trample down the heathen; be upon them, O warrior, I will give you their flesh to eat. … Sacrifice cattle, little and big; after a child … kill and torture; spare not; be upon them!” This satanist-talk which has contempt for what it considers 'weak', and 'unfit', and is perfectly in-line with the Nazi ideology of the ubermensch or superman who having gotten to a state he considers superior and beyond compassion so he can do dreadful bloody deeds and feel no shame!

175

175 is a number he used to invoke any deity through magickal ritual.

William Ramsey reminds us that the World Trade Centre towers suggested a giant figure 11, and also each of the towers had 110 floors, so ignoring the zero that gives an 11 for each tower,
"and strangely I think the first flight 11 hit round about the 93rd floor. The second flight 175 hit directly on the 77th floor "!

This atrocity was meticulously planned way before September 11th 2001, and the numbers and dates are apparent in even times of speeches such as President Bush seniors September 11th 1990 speech titled Towards a New World Order, 11 years pre - 9/11:

"So I perceive the event of 9/11 as not just a political event, but also a ritual event because so much has come out of 9/11. So many changes in our culture. ..tyrannical legislation in the Patriot Act, Global warfare, impact on our freedom. A culture of fear [torture]; stolen elections; poisoning of the food, water, land, air . So you see how all these things have come because of the events of 9/11."

These numbers are also related to other very destructive events, even World War One where millions of humans were maimed, and lost their lives,. "At 11:00 a.m. on November 11 (11/11), 1918, fighting on the Western Front ceased." There dramtically are those 11s again, did the 'Islamic terrorists' plan that too?

And there is the UK version of 9/11 which happened on the 7th of July 2005, and is known as 7/7,
(the whole date can also be numerologically calculated as 777 if we add the two digits of the year 2 & 5 together), but the 77 is definately prominent as can be seen. Crowley also wrote a book titled 777 And Other Qabalistic Writings of Aleister Crowley: Including Gematria & Sepher Sephiroth

Togther with this numerology, there is the occultist astrological event of 9/11 as analyzed in this remarkable video,

The ancient Hermetic magick principle states "As Above So Below", and as you may see, the occult elite meticulously planned their savage inaugaration day for their 'Great Work', the New Aeon, or New World Order, to mirror astrological events as they interpret them. These Freemasonic symbols are also communicating the principle.

Occult astrology, in contrast to popular astrology which follows the sun's movement, follows all the planets movements, and this in-depth form of astrology is followed by the occult society, The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn within which Aleister Crowley was initiated in 1898
The Golder Dawn has a very significant influence on western occultism.
On September 11th 2001 the planets Saturn and Pluto where dramatically opposed, a "180 degree opposition". Saturn symbolizes materialistic power--according this this occult interpretation--"materialistic power", and on 9/11 it was in the sign of Gemini, the Twins. Pluto, on the other hand, represents "destruction and transformation" (Pluto was a Roman version of the Greek go hades, god of the underworld)and on 9/11 was in the sign of Sagittarius, the sign of "religion", "foreign cultures" and "long distance travel". So it is very clear here to see the as above so below pattern being referred to--the narrative of 'foreign cultures' opposed and destructive towards the towers representing western materialism!

Even the building World trade Centre seems to have followed the as above so below dictum: the completion of the World trade Centre occured as Saturn entered Gemini in 1971, and its opening ceremony of April 4th 1973 also happened when Saturn was in the same area of Gemini as it was on 9/11.

The very architectural design also reflects the above so below Hermetic principle: NASA states that Saturn's rings are made up of 7 parts "Saturn's ring system is divided up into 7 major divisions with alphabetic designators in the order of discovery." Likewise the WTC complex contains 7 buildings. The occult symbol for Saturn is also known as the Seal of Solomon, and WTC 7 was called The Salomon Building, and if you remember came down 'by itself' on 9/11, into its own footprint, without the help from a 'plane'!

In the occult world, Saturn symbolizes "The Gateway of the Gods" and the two towers are meant to represent that gateway in the 9/11 magickal sacrficial ritual.
In Solomon's Temple there were also two pillars, and they had names, Jachin and Boaz. In the hidden-in-plain-sight occultist scenario of 9/11 the left south tower is Jachin, and the right south tower is Boaz. As you will see on the Freemason Tracing Board to your left, there are the two towers, Jachin and Boaz, but there is a middle pillar also, so where then in the WTC complex can we find this 'pillar'?
At the base of the twin towers was a spherical sculpture New Yorkers knew as The Sphere, and its artistic name was
The Great Spherical Caryatid

A caryatid in architecture is a replacement pillar or column, and so the Sphere, by placement and title is associated with a middle pillar between the twin towers. Twin pillars with a middle pillar also symbolizes the kabbalistic Tree of Life, and there exist correspondences between the 'below' of the atrocity of 9/11 with Kabbalistic symbolism. The sephira on the Tree of Life represent planets connected by pathways, and the pathway that links Saturn and Pluto is the Magickian.
The path linking Saturn to the Sun are represented on the Tarot cars as the Gemini twins, and the path linking Pluto with the Sun is The High Priestess. So all these correspondences are really the hidden in plain sight becoming visible for those who have eyes to see.

Again, I encourage you to watch the video - Do You Believe in Magick? - where you will find far more information reagarding this subject.
I would like now to reflect on the question what do we with this knowledge? How do we relate to such as this?

I believe there has been an infiltration of the psychedelic movment since the 1960s which has enticed the youth, and older, and generations that followed, to embrace Aleister Crowley and thus not be aware of his bad influence and involvement in evil doings such as 9/11 and 7/7 etc.

Two huge influences for the psychedelic movement were, and still are, Timothy Leary and Robert Anton Wilson, RAW for short. Timothy Leary was a disciple of Crowley, and saw his role as spreading the Crowley's work to future generations as leary testifies in video below:

Aleister Crowley attracted many of the people prominent in the psychedelic 60s counterculture, including that massive influential group The Beatles who featured the image of Crowley on their Sgt. Peppers album cover, into his satanic embrace. As you heard Tim Leary say above, his aphorism to 'Do what thou wilt' was very attractive for the 1960s generation--and Leary phrased into his own 'turn on tune in drop out' paean to his followers--. They also were victims of an oppressive Christan culture, and so that permissive encouragement must have made many blind to what Crowley was really all about. I am sure Leary, and Wilson, must have more deeply read him, which makes their embrace very questionable. but more people would just absorb the popular 'hip' quotes, leaving the reall nasty stuff ommitted.
Aleister Crowley was damaged individual. He was an only child brought up by Christian fundamentalists who were Plymouth Brethren. His childhood was joyless, and the only book allowed for him to read was the Bible. He was sent to private schools which alternated brutal sadistic punishment with enforced biblical indoctrination. Is it any wonder he came out of this abuse hating Christianity and loving the Devil, "I was not content to believe in a personal devil and serve him, in the ordinary sense of the word. I wanted to get hold of him personally and become his chief of staff." This is what the Christian finger-pointers at the 'evil Satanists' don't or dare not understand, that it is usually the cause of their own belief system. amd worldview that drives their victims into the hands of their invention, the Devil.
A similar pattern can be seen happened with the serial killer Richard Ramiriz who was infamously known as The Night Stalker. He was brought up in the Catholic faith, and he became obsessed with the image of the devil, his father was very brutal to him and his brother , and if this wasn't bad enough his cousin came to visit when he was becoming adolescent, and showed him depraved photographs of the rapes, mutilations, and murders he had commited on Vietnamese women, young and old.

I cannot dig why Crowley has had such an attraction for people. He never attracted me, and I wasn't even religious. He gives me the fukin creeps!!
I'm sick of these sick bastards claiming themselves prophets because they have contacted some sick entity of their delusion. There is a list of these New Agers from Madam Blavatsky onwards, and these people influence SUCH evil!!

I am not coming from a Christian perspective saying this--it was joyless foul brutal fundamentalist christianity that created the damaged goods which was Crowley and his fukin legacy. A legacy that has infiltrated the psychedelic movment from the 1960s with Timothy Leary, a disciple of Crowley's, the Beatles, and other rock heros, and Robert Anton Wilson, etc etc, And what is so pathetic is these 'hipsters' OBVIOUSLY hadn't read fully this man's message which was COMPLETELY elitist, aristocratic, feudalistic----- --looking at the people as slaves and cattle...'all you need is love'...? yeahhh sure. 'Imagine no possessions, i wonder if you can' sang MULTI BILLIONAIRE John Lennon. what a fukin joke!

Where I am coming from is Goddess spirituality. Love for Mother Earth, not some sadistic wreck who loved what Christianity hated, the Devil--their creation, a worldview they both share. Can you not see the sorry game sickly playing out there?

As I have explored in an earlier blog here:

First Responders are NOT Invited to the 9/11 Anniversary

2011-08-18T06:53:00.000-07:00

They risked their lives. They had no time or 'luxury' to ponder 'who done it'--whether it was Osama Bin Laden, or an Inside Job. They had to act. Well over 343 first responders lost their lives, horrifically, doing so. Many have since, contracted cancers and other diseases, due to the toxic air and materials they had to be in contact with, and there have been deaths as a result, but neither the sufferers, or their bereaved families, have received any compensation!! And this shameful treatment of these incredibly brave individuals continues, adding insult to injury (and deaths), by not even inviting the survivors, and their families, to the main anniversary of 9/11.

The Trivium Cult

2011-04-24T06:04:00.000-07:00

Arts of the Trivium, Grammar, Hall of the Liberal Arts

I found out about The Trivium from a guy called Jan Irvin who, like me, is very interested in the history and mythology of entheogens, but unlike me has written quite a few books, such as The Pharmacratic Inquisition, The Holy Mushroom, etc. His friend, Richard Grove and others began a movement under the title Tragedy and Hope (T&H), inspired by Gene Odening, all about a classical form of learning which they claimed has been suppressed from the masses by the very elite who are learned in it. So the T&H team take it upon themselves to introduce as many people to this lost learning, The Trivium, in order--they say--so that we will know the tricks being pulled by the elite and their puppets, politicians, media and so on, but also so that we too can use this classical form of education to be able to see through all the propaganda coming from the very system this elite has created.

The Three Laws of Learning

The word “trivium” comes from the Latin prefix “tri” meaning “three,” and the Latin root “via” meaning “way,” or “road.” The word literally means “the three-fold way or road.” The trivium refers to the three stages, or ways, of learning that coincide with a child’s cognitive development as he matures. We should begin an in-depth look at the trivium--the three stages of learning--by reminding ourselves that the trivium is not some arbitrary theory of teaching methodology or new fad of learning philosophy. Rather, the trivium was developed by long trial and error, through the observation of the ancients in the way children learn during the whole course of their instruction from young child to young adult. They realized that time after time, they followed three stages in the learning process. They simply pointed out what was obviously there; what God had designed: that there are three stages, which they named Grammar, Dialectic, and Rhetoric; and they progress in that order. Think of Sir Isaac Newton. He didn’t invent the three laws of motion (God did that when He created the universe), but after careful observation, he defined them by stating what was already there. So it is with the trivium. We might even call the trivium the three laws of learning.

So there above is a summary of the Trivium. But the hidden premise of what is being said, to my ears, at least, goes like this: 'We 'the peasants' are shortchanged because our 'superior masters' have withheld the most important ways to learn from us, and thus we are basically dumb; and in order to be as clever as them we need to learn what has been suppressed from our education, the Trivium, but not fall into the trap many of them have, which was to lose their hearts in the process', and take pleasure in feeling superior, and oppressing those they felt superior to.' Something like that.

Now, as I said, Richard Grove, one of the founders of T&H created a website and forum there for debate, and I joined, and my first question was titled 'My Critique of the Trivium'. It was my right to question it, if, as these people claim, we must excercise our critical thinking....right? So I was doing, and I was a member there for a few months, debating about my question with some of the other members who wished to participate in the inquiry.

The other day Jan Irvin posted a video link to my thread of of talk he had done on the Trivium and I viewed it, and I took many notes, and spent a great deal of effort critiquing elements of what I felt needed challenging.

In my critique, I happened to say that the Trivium promotion seemed to me like a cult. After I posted this Richard Grove quickly replied (he had never responded in my thread till this time), saying that he was the one responsible for the words Jan was reading from a projected computer screen in the video, and I should talk with him about it and not "attack" Jan. I said I wasn't attacking Jan, and asked him to reveal where I had. He couldn't, because I had just been responding to some of the points Jan was making.

Richard then told me off for my use of the term 'cult', and asked me why I said it. I told him that what he said, and his tone, further led me to sense T&H as being like a cult. Cult leaders and followers rarely like any questioning of their beliefs. Next thing he banned me which meant I could not even view the message boards, I also could not gain access to my own text which if I did, I could then past to my own documents, and present in my blog. I privately emailed him to ask if I could save my efforts I had typed in my thread, but got no reply. So there you go. Censored, and thrown out of their cult, and I cannot present my own efforts there, here in my blog, as I am not allowed. This is typical cultist behaviour. Once ejected you must have no contact with other members, or even your own property.

At the Tragedy and Hope introduction to the Trivium given by Gene Odening, he starts with this quote: Trivium and Quadrivium Cliff Notes by Gene Odening:

For if you [the rulers] suffer your people to be ill-educated, and their manners to be corrupted from their infancy, and then punish them for those crimes to which their first education disposed them, what else is to be concluded from this, but that you first make thieves [outlaws] and then punish them ~ Sir Thomas More (1478-1535), Utopia, Book 1

On the surface it looks like some kind of compassion being given, by a member of the aristocracy, to the 'lower orders' , but looking deeper into what is saying shows otherwise. It is exactly the same as the totally decimating the independent communal life of other indigenous peoples, like the Native Americans, the Australian Aboriginees, e.t.c., and forcing their children to go to western schools, the same schools people like John Taylor Gatto have shown are designed for the purpose of constricting consciousness and real learning, and then, because of this oppression, children and adults naturally lose a sense of meaning to their lives and cut off from the land and sense of community and spirituality often may turn to drugs, alcohol, 'crime' and so on. This is exactly what happened to the indigenous people of Europe, driven off land that had been privatized, and driven to 'crime, and then some big wig appeals to another higher-up big wig to show 'mercy' and let them know what they 'know'? In other words, the very same mindset that are so 'well educated' they have totally lost their fukin soul condescend to imagine that what they have 'learned' must be of help to their impoverished victims?! Hmmmm what a proposition hey?

Such as that was what I was exploring in the thread at T&H message boards, though I did it in a polite way, never using a swear word. Amongst ofther things, I was warning T&H's idealistic trust in the initiation into the 'higher learnings' of the Trivium as a way to challenge the ruling elites maintanance of oppression down the generations, which down-plays emotion and defies reason and logic, as it seems to me the very dangerous 'learning' we need to rather avoid, and not encourage for ourselves and our children--cause it aint done the super-rich much good ---the ones who have been schooled in the Trivium??

And also the very promotion of it undermines other forms of knowledge and learning that many ordinary people would naturally have had, and have, when not brutally oppressed by these 'superior learned elites'! In its promotion this implies an undermining of natural innate organic intelligence which indigenous peoples always have.

In Jan's videod talk, he was saying (or rather reading what someone else had written on a projected computer screen, having to drink copious amounts of water to keep keeping on reading) how those not schooled in the Trivium and its knowledge of grammar, and logic, and rherotic do not know how to converse in a 'sensible manner'. This reminded me of a guy, Stefan Molyneux , who makes videos on Youtube, and also has a popular podcast.
The first video of his I really liked, and so subscribed to his channel. In a later video he says he graduated in philosophy, and that in philosophy you are trained in logic, and how many of the comments he receives disagreeing with him about various things he says in videos, from people not educated in philosophy, and thefore not properly understanding logic, were known 'in philsophy' and by him--as "noise", and said scrunching up his nose, " so please dont waste yours and my time challenging the points I make until you know HOW to adequately challenge them logically? This seriously put me off him. But Jan said more or less the same in his talk!

When I was pounced on by Richard back at T&H forum, demanding I explain points I had said, which I tried to, he suddenly said that anything I say from then on he is going to see as 'spam'--yip, 'noise'. So what do you say to that? To that mindset you are a noise-spammer, and he also accused me of being too "emotional". Now, hah, this is also a classic-learning attempt to shame anyone that challenges what they have learnt is their 'superior intellect'. 'Emotions are looked down on, and those who have beared brunt of this judgement from self-acclaimed 'rational minds', particular to most patriarchal traditions, down the ages, have always been women, and the 'poor': Hare Krishna: The exam

“A woman cannot for example make decisions of her own, only a man, preferably her husband, can do that for her. This is because a woman is also considered more emotionally driven than men, and she cannot be considered to make rational decisions. The view of women is thus highly paradoxical in that women are considered weak but dangerous at the same time."

Try and question the authoritian androcentric elite, which fancies itself ever so rational, and beyond the body, nature, and emotion, and you become all they fear, and deny in themselves. This Richard guy would not admit his attack on me was in any way emotional~~~ohhh noooo.

So, in other words, I am already seeing in their attitudes what I was originally warning about in my critique. 'Higher' learning can be a dangerous game, because it implies you gonna look down on others not privy to it!

Rossi has been very responsive to critics, answering questions freely on blogs. When skeptics suggested fraud, he even allowed a physicist at the University of Bologna to modify the test setup and examine the insides of the reactor. He reran the demo for 18 hours with a non-boiling output measurement setup. The 18 kW power output obtained for 18 hours neutralized the skeptics, who had suspected a hidden battery.

The University of Bologna is a top university with graduates like Copurnicus, Marconi and Galvani.

The Myth of Mental Illness and The War on Entheogens

2011-02-04T04:56:00.000-08:00

The myth of mental illness is propaganda, and is the myth that what are being called by this culture, 'mental illnesses', or 'conditions', or 'disorders', are actually biological diseases of the brain. There, however, do not exist any medical scientific tests to support this supposed 'medical science', so they try and use observation of behaviour, rhetoric, and coercion, to beguile the visionaries, sensitive people, the gullible, and the vulnerable.

By 'myth' of mental illness, I am not meaning that people do not feel many various forms of psychological, and/or psychosomatic, distresses, and sense of feeling 'not normal', and so on, but rather the myth is the demand to believe--scientifically-- that 'mental illness/disorder', as they call it, is biologically caused by 'chemical imbalance', genes, brain abnormalities. But as there exist no definite medical tests to prove what they state, and diagnose, then all we have is subjective opinion from 'experts' who checklist behavioural 'symptoms' as being 'mental illnesses' needing medical 'treatment'.

Drug companies have now created microchipped medication, or 'smart pills', which they are pushing. The danger for people already pressurized to take psychiatric medication will be immense with 'Big Brother' inside their bodies making sure they dont miss one of 'his' tablets!

“Bio-psychiatry theorizes that emotional distress is a result of a defect in the brain. Yet, it does not understand the brain and its methods are to suppress the functioning of the brain. We must differentiate between the brain and the mind. Of the mind, it knows nothing and offers nothing.” – Dr Dan L. Edmunds

We are being seen as machines, and our brains are meant to be functioning according to mechanistic principles that suit the established norms of this consumerist culture. This is based on a mechanistic philosophy and psychology, and I would like to point out the influential 'thinkers' who have been chosen by the rich to implement this paradigm to suit their purposes---as usual as more profit for them.

The 'Thinkers'

One of these underlying myths supporting the myth of mental illness is that we are mechanical, and exist in a mechanical environment, with other mechanical species, in a mechanical world, and that the only meaning to life is financial success, productivity and conveyor-belt consumerism.

In the timeline of 'thinkers', and their ideas that still fuel the myth of this mechanistic paradigm, we can begin with Rene Descartes, who presumed that our true human essence is as 'thinkers', and because animals couldn't 'think', according to him, they were thought of as machines, and when he thought this thought he, and his fellow-thinkers, influenced by his ideas, acted on this thinking to torture and murder animals, and pay no heed to their cries of pain and suffering, because, it was thought, they were only the 'squeaks of an engine'!

We should have no doubt at all,” Descartes wrote, “that the irrational animals are automata.

[source: Letter to Marin Mersenne, 13 July 1640, cited by Margulis, L., and Sagan, D. (1995/2000). What Is Life?, Berkeley: University of California Press, 37-8.]

Descartes and his followers performed experiments in which they nailed animals by their paws onto boards and cut them open to reveal their beating hearts. They burned, scalded, and mutilated animals in every conceivable manner. When the animals reacted as though they were suffering pain, Descartes dismissed the reaction as no different from the sound of a machine that was functioning improperly. A crying dog, Descartes maintained, is no different from a whining gear that needs oil.

Later in 19th century Germany, at Leipzig University, another philosopher, and professor of psychology, Wilhelm Wundt, who was influenced by the philosophical writings of Descartes, claimed that humans were like animals, and thus 'machines'. Whereas before, psyche~ology was supposedly the study of the psyche or soul, with Wundt's emphasis on his 'experimental psychology' which he rigorously wanted to be a science, the understanding of, and attending to, soul or mind was 'not needed'. Science, and Wundt, were only concerned with what could be measured, and seeing that the soul and mind cannot be measured 'they' ceased to exist for Professor Wundt, and for those influenced by his, and Descartes' mechanistic theories, such as were the Behaviourist Psychologists, Ivan Pavlov, John B. Watson, and so forth.

Like any propaganda, the rich managers, with help from the many needy helpers on their payroll, look for ways to inculcate the disinformation they choose to impose for their own purposes, and an enforced 'education' system was the perfect device for this enterprisen where the empty child, seen as a machine, and taught to feel like a machine, could be moulded according to the State Machine's specifications.
Yes! You were right--those of you who hated school, something was most definately not right, though as a child it is not easy to put our finger on it when the whole school experience is made to seem the necessary part of the given reality around you!

The great energy that drives modern schooling owes much to a current of influence arising out of the psychology laboratory of Wilhelm Wundt at the University of Leipzig in Saxony. With a stream of international assistants, Wundt set out to examine how the human machine was best adjusted. By 1880, he laid the basis for Pavlov's work and the work of Watson in America, for the medical procedure of lobotomy, for electroshock therapy, and for the scientific view that school was a ground for social training, "socialization" in John Dewey's terminology.

In the 'world' this mechanization is all happening in, and where all these pills are being pushed by the State so as to suppress any feelings of dis~ease, dissent, and visionary experience, however knowingly or unconsciously, there also exists a so-called war on drugs! It is clear that what is going on is a war rather on the body, nature, and the soul and mind. It is worthwhile then for us to examine the underlying religious roots from which mechanistic philosophy and science will emerge.

Kicked Out of Paradise

The religious roots of the mechanistic paradigm are very important to explore and understand because this is where the fledgling science generation got their idea of the ‘spiritual’ as being disconnected from earth, and bodies, energy, and nature, and even this dissociative idea of the spiritual they were eventually to leave out of their equations!

The western myth, from which understanding of God and the spiritual derives from, begins in the biblical tale of the Garden of Eden. The key to understanding the patriarchal biblical creation myth in the Garden of Eden is that the taboo is about not even knowing about entheogens, as well as their inspirational awareness, and the Goddess earth~based sense of spirituality which is interelated with the body and nature, all species, and community.

The Garden of Eden list of characters: in brackets the propaganda.

God: (the transcendent creator of the universe, world, and all creatures including us. All-good, omnipresent, and the Bible is his Word)

‘Brutal War ‘God’; invention of patriarchal desert nomad warriors who composed the myth from ancient pre-existing myths, and using propagandist techniques to try and undermine earth-based indigenous paganistic imagery, symbolism, and sacred ritual.

Garden: (Paradise’ which is dualistically separate from natural 'Fallen' world , and only those who obey God’s Word are allowed into paradise)

Paradise is understanding nature as
sacred, and can be experienced by anyone who eats the entheogenic fruit which is enlightenment, and/or is naturally inclined to realize this.

Tree: (disobeying God, and eating the fruit of knowing good and evil bars you from immortality)

The entheogen can open eyes to seeing directly what is good and what is bad. George Orwell said how the propagandists want us to believe freedom is slavery, war is peace, ignorance is strength, and they can only do this when they manipulate us with propaganda. As it was then so it is now. To know nature is sacred and we are nature is good. To divide us from this knowledge and feeling and ecstasy so as to enslave and expolit us is bad.

Serpent: (The serpent is evil because s/he tells Eve to eat the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil)

The serpent has always been associated with the Goddess, and guards the Tree of Enlightenment. Serpents also were associated with magic mushrooms, and are often seen in entheogenic experiences, especially with the entheogenic brew, Ayahuasca. The serpent represents the sacred eternal cyclic nature because of its shedding old skin, and having new skin underneath.

Adam & Eve: (Mortal woman created from Adam’s rib as a partner for him. Woman comes from man, man from creator)

Eve, is really the Goddess of the original Garden but is 'demoted' by the patriarchal writers of this tale to ‘mortal’ status, and made to come from the male, which goes against the natural order of life for it is women who birth. Eve is also blamed by for the 'Fall of Man'.

(Adam, our first male ancestor created by God in his image who is given dominion over all nature, and species, so sayeth the Word of God)

Adam is also demoted in this myth from being the ever living, ever dying ever regenerating Son/Lover of the Goddess, and who also is associated with the phallic-looking entheogenic mushroom, the inspirer of enlightenment.

The War on Some Drugs

On June 17th 1971 President Nixon declared a "war on drugs".
Of course this 'war' is deadly ironic, because American culture, particularly, is steeped in drugs---both allopathic and psychiatric --which the drug companies spend millions and millions to promote, and alcohol, and tobacco of course, but these drugs have 'God on their side', or the 'Machine' on their side, apparently, whilst drugs that are natural like marijuana, opium, and the entheogenic mushrooms, plants,and cacti are 'controlled'.

This 'war' continues through the superficial changes of U.S. administrations and is imposed on the whole 'world'.

I am focussing on the war on entheogens, because of all the drugs, these are deeply connected with our very ancient past as a species, and with healing~~not only to be understood as physical healing, but also spiritual healing, as in regarding our relationship with our inner being, body, and community, and our soulfull interelationship with the natural living world.

Many indigenous peoples do not call entheogenic plants and substances 'drugs' in the western sense, but rather 'plant teachers', and 'sacred medicine', and have sacred names for their native entheogenic vegetations.
A Mazatec term for their entheogenic mushroom is Teonanacatl meaning "divine, or wondrous mushroom". In South America there is an entheogen, used anciently by indigenous peoples, named Ayahuasca which is translated into English as, "Spirit vine" or "vine of the souls"
Dan Russell, author of Shamanism and the Drug Propaganda: The Birth of Patriarchy and the Drug War says:

To pretend that whole herbs are "drugs" (a medieval French inquisitorial
epithet) is to criminalize the traditional herbal sacramentalism of my
ancestors, and yours...

~~~

In my experience entheogens, or psychedelics, help me see directly into things.

I am going to point out three significant set and settings for psychedelic experience:

when you take psychedelics and are in nature, and have eyes mostly open and look at and feel the wonders of nature. Look into a river and see the amazingess of water and light on water, and life in water, textures. Look at a tree, animals, birds, the wind (I have actually seen the wind swirling ) Feeling this inside and out.

A more introspective kind of tripping favoured by the therapeutic community--especially Stan Grof which is based on the psychoanalytical model of 'looking within', and experiencing fears, desires, past memories--and this can involve feeling you are becoming others, and groups, and animals, and nature and even the universe.

This form of psychedelic experience is ancient as well of course, and was called 'Incubation', where the experiencer would take the magic vegetation or potion in a cave in total darkness, etc. This set & setting contrasted with the 'Field' mode of experience which would be more ritualistic --dancing , and orgiastic, in a communal and natural set and setting.

Observing people who aren't tripping, and looking at mass media in a way of seeing through social personas and propaganda.

The mechanistic propaganda as supported by their 'priests', the behaviourist psychologists, and bio-psychiatrists, will claim that entheogenic experience is merely a 'chemical ride' or that it 'distorts reality', and has no real meaning, their premise being that they know what real 'reality' is, and they have ways and means to reality-test you to see if you are 'normal' and 'adjusted'. So if anyone claimed to 'see through propaganda' whilst inspired with entheogens or visionary experience when called 'mentally ill' this would place both types of insight as being mental illness.

This is not saying that psychedelic experiencers, and those deemed mentally ill, cannot be deluded. But when you really look at this world, you have to look at the big picture and not just at the 'scapegoats' this 'world' creates so as to divert attention away from its own imposed worldview and deluded doings.
Are the appointed and self-appointed 'managers' who entice wars, and commit genocide on people, and cause untold destruction and contamination to all ecosystems not deluded? And yet this behaviour is accepted by many people as a 'normal' part of our reality. The 'real world' as warfare and corporate greed, and immorality. And it will be argued by the proselytizers of the 'mental health movement' that not accepting this 'reality' is irrational, and mental illness! This is why this is the central social controlling myth of our time.

This ugly scenario affects all our lives, and how our families are, and how members of the family will be treated, and how we think of ourselves. From the top to the bottom the mechanistic and brutal paradigm influences our every moment, and that is the idea behind enforced 'education' and other forms of propaganda, that this system 'must' do this so that we will keep ourselves and others in line.

The 'managers' have been very thoughtful about this and realizing they couldn't possibly police all of us all the time, have created the scenario where we police each other, a divide and rule strategy, and we accept this by not being aware what is being done to us through their propaganda, which is why it is vitally important we begin exploring it through every avenue ancient and modern.

I believe a big part of the irrational fear and proscription against entheogenic experience and 'mental illness', on the part of the ones who believe they have the right to dictate to us what reality is supposed to be, is the fear that the modus operandi of the mechanical model of reality which sustains this paradigm, and its oppression against people, animals, and so on, will be threatened and exposed, and resolved if seen through, questioned, and its author~ity challenged.

To understand this connection, between so-called mental illness or madness, and entheogenic insight which can also involve hellish experiences, I feel the necessity is to really grasp the unfathomable brutality of our civilization which is based on war and more wars, and exploitation of animals, the natural world, and people, soley for profits and power. How can the average person fathom this ignore~ance and evil?

It is true that power can very well dehumanize people, and this culture breeds dehumanization throughout, causing human and environmental degradation on every level. And degradation very much includes dis-informing people from childhood they are machines (and this of course includes computers now~~ and claiming reality is a virtual computer simulation ~~called Computationalism~~"that if physicalism is true then the human mind can be modelled, simulated and explained by a computer." So-called Transhumanists are all into this idea), and believing this propaganda, leading often desperate lives under an oppressive weight, many not even aware of what has been and continues to be done to their bodies, minds, and souls, of themselves and their children.

Psychedelic experiencers, and people who are classed as 'mad' by this culture, can often directly see deep into the insanity of the culture, and 'world' we are constantly being told is 'normal' and 'sane', and the purveyors do not want that perception, insight, and feeling because it does not serve their purposes of exploitation, war, and profits! They therefore create propaganda to protect their prison from being found out, at least by too many people. And this is why they depend that we are not aware of their propaganda, their sorcery, because as soon as we begin becoming aware of it we simultaneously undermine it. Seeing propaganda disempowers it.

True, the brutal structure is all around, the wars, more and more liberties being taken away, paranoia-inducing mass media, enforced'education', and so on, and this doesn't just disappear by thinking it so.
Prison cells are being built to house more and more 'dissenters', new 'disorders' are being thought up by the new 'priests' of the pharmacracy to add to their growing list in their DSM mental 'health' 'Bible', and thus will cometh more drugs, and new ways of invasive abuse,,, but there is a great re~empowerment coming from realizing that neither you, nor others, nor the animal, nor nature, nor the universe, nor reality, is a machine without inner life and interelated feeling, and this will dissolve the inner prison they have tried to build us into since being small children which suppresses feelings and love.

When enlightened as to what they have been up to, and continue maintaining, via ever more sophisticated techniques of propaganda, we will re~awaken the energy and spirit, which for many of us has been suppressed, to create radical change in our communities which benefit body soul, all other species well being, and nature. The deeper we feel and there is no limit, the deeper we feel…

'PSYCH VISIT'

I will let this great revealing animation speak for itself:

WikiRebels videos --Please view

2010-12-10T05:59:00.001-08:00

I am presenting two great videos (first one being a series of videos from a documentary). I have learnt so much and been inspired, from watching these, and I cannot recommend them enough!!

UPDATE: It has recently come to my attention that Julian Assange of Wikileaks seems to believe in the official conspiracy theory of 9/11 which I am disturbed about, considering the huge amount of evidence challenging such an absurd offocial tale--including people who have worked in Intelligence and know how they operate from inside. So for Julian to claim such must make us all question things about the role of Wikileaks. I am trying to be flexible here--which you have to be--and am not outrightedly condemning him and Wikileaks as part of a disinfo campaign, because of his/their other work of revealing the war crimes of the U.S. etc---but I feel I have to include this with the info I have previously presented in this blog:

Wikileaks founder and self-described "Editor-in-chief", Julian Assange, is a mysterious 29-year-old Australian about whom little is known. He has suddenly become a prominent public figure offering to mediate with the White House over the leaks. Following the latest leaks, Assange told Der Spiegel, one of three outlets with which he shared material from the most recent leak, that the documents he had unearthed would "change our perspective on not only the war in Afghanistan, but on all modern wars." He stated in the same interview that '"I enjoy crushing bastards." Wikileaks, founded in 2006 by Assange, has no fixed home and Assange claims he "lives in airports these days."

Yet a closer examination of the public position of Assange on one of the most controversial issues of recent decades, the forces behind the September 11, 2001 attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Center shows him to be curiously establishment. When the Belfast Telegraph interviewed him on July 19, he stated,

"Any time people with power plan in secret, they are conducting a conspiracy. So there are conspiracies everywhere. There are also crazed conspiracy theories. It's important not to confuse these two...." What about 9/11?: "I'm constantly annoyed that people are distracted by false conspiracies such as 9/11, when all around we provide evidence of real conspiracies, for war or mass financial fraud." What about the Bilderberg Conference?: "That is vaguely conspiratorial, in a networking sense. We have published their meeting notes."

That statement from a person who has built a reputation on being anti-establishment is more than notable. First, as thousands of physicists, engineers, military professionals and airline pilots have testified, the idea that 19 barely-trained Arabs armed with box-cutters could divert four US commercial jets and execute the near-impossible strikes on the Twin Towers and Pentagon over a time period of 93 minutes with not one Air Force NORAD military interception, is beyond belief. Precisely who executed the professional attack is a matter for genuine unbiased international inquiry.

Notable for Mr Assange's blunt denial of any sinister 9/11 conspiracy is the statement in a BBC interview by former US Senator, Bob Graham, who chaired the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence when it performed its Joint Inquiry into 9/11. Graham told BBC, "I can just state that within 9/11 there are too many secrets, that is information that has not been made available to the public for which there are specific tangible credible answers and that that withholding of those secrets has eroded public confidence in their government as it relates to their own security." BBC narrator: "Senator Graham found that the cover-up led to the heart of the administration." Bob Graham: "I called the White House and talked with Ms. Rice and said, 'Look, we've been told we're gonna get cooperation in this inquiry, and she said she'd look into it, and nothing happened.'"

Of course, the Bush Administration was able to use the 9/11 attacks to launch its War on Terrorism in Afghanistan and then Iraq, a point Assange conveniently omits.

For his part, General Gul claims that US intelligence orchestrated the Wikileaks on Afghanistan to find a scapegoat, Gul, to blame. Conveniently, as if on cue, British Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron, on a state visit to India, lashed out at the alleged role of Pakistan in supporting Taliban in Afghanistan, conveniently lending further credibility to the Wikileaks story. The real story of Wikileaks has clearly not yet been told.

Dr Andrew Weil's Cat: Psychedelics&Psychosomatic Medicine

2010-12-02T05:58:00.000-08:00

Just a short while earlier, I found out about the video below of a talk by Dr Andrew Weil from here: The Telemorph Dr Weil's recommended talk was the first one I clicked on, and have been blown away by it! What he is talking about is very interesting, and important for everyone to know about.

He says how what interests him regarding psychedelic research is not just the psychological experience they can inspire, but also how they can affect the combination of the physical and the mind or psychological, which is what psychosomatic actually means, and thus heal physical diseases.

He relates one of his own experiences with LSD where his previous long supposed allergy to cats was instantly resolved after a cat jumped on his lap during an LSD experience. His patterns of thinking and feeling about cats was deeply changed and he never got allergies in their company again! Hence this form of healing challenges the orthodox mechanical-based one that focuses primarily on physical symptoms, and which is mostly promoted, and the only one really available, for many people. However our mental, emotional, and spiritual aspect of being are therefore left out of the orthodox medical establishment's profit-based equation.

There is so much valuable information here, and how it will become accepted entails each one of us understanding the utter importance of this information and, with passion, sharing this information and demanding that these deeper forms of healing become available for everyone.

exposing 'The New American Century'

2010-10-24T11:11:00.000-07:00

I had planned to do a blog on propaganda and psychedelics, but as I researched about 'it' I found myself in a labyrinthe....It got very complex, so many possible paths......Later I was planning to do one about 'Fallen Angels' and the whole myth of that, and was soon to watch the video I am presenting here which really knocked me off course (and yet not). I intend to tackle them later. I just feel the need now to share this video, The New American Century.
It is a shocking video, and for me ties a lot of things together, such as showing the patterns connecting false flag of 9/11 with other false flags in history where you see a bigger picture and thus helps you see the pieces falling together. But it mostly reveals for me, the utter horrific reality of debauched dehumanization!

There are things in the video I don't agree with, like where it is suggested President Bush junior didn't know what the neo-cons were planning for the 11th of September. I find this hard to believe. I am sure you will be very familiar with the famous 'classroom scene' where WBush is attending a children's reading class in the Florida school? I see blatant and obvious propaganda.

They knew this would be seen on television screens throughout the U.S. and the world, and like a very expensive advert for their New American Century, and alibi for their 9/11 crime, every detail would be meticulously staged. It is an orgy of the cliche of the politician with the child shtick, but in this case a class of them, and mostly black too. This is designed to make you feel he cares for the little ones, and poor black people, and their education.

We see President Bush approached by an aide who whispers --we were told--pssssst "America is under attack", and then look how notably 'shocked' Bush's face appears.
He will later lie, more than once, that he had been outside the classroom waiting to go in, and he saw on a TV a plane fly into the first tower, and he embellishes adding he used to be a pilot and thought, 'that is one bad pilot'.
In actuality the TV footage of the plane going into the first tower wasn't broadcast till much later , so he couldn't possibly have observed it on TV!
A prosecutor in a court of law would love this 'slip' which he did twice, and would interrogate him relentlessly on just that point alone, but the real people involved in the sophisticated psy op which is 9/11 have escaped any such kind of scrutiny... as of yet.

Just say he had seen the first 'plane' strike WTC 1 on a specially transmitted private broadcast courtesy of the CIA? That admission would still damn him, for how would they and he know to be looking there in the first place?
In this video look at his eyes. Eyes are the windows of the soul---to me he has the eyes of a psychopath! They are... gone.
Listen to him explain to the child's question: "What was the first thing that went through your head when you heard that a plane crashed into the first...", and listen close! He tries to deflect from possible bad nerves brought on by such a big lie by telling a 'joke'--very strange considering the seriousness of what happened that day, he feels the need to do a comedy sketch?
Hear his voice, and how he stutters on the second word of when he says the "TV (s)et", and he does it again when saying "TV s~s~set". ( Bush it's true is known for stuttering, and being lost for words, but even so it is very notable on this occasion the stutter happens when telling of the 'television set' that most likely wasn't really there). An expert who studied body language, and voice inflection, would have a field day with this, however they usually don't dare analyze big-shots like Bush do they, but are eager to do so on hapless reality TV Big Brother house contestants.

I don't underestimate my perception and intuition.
See him nearly fall apart at the question put to him by a journalist about escalating accusations of government involvement in 9/11. Often in day to day life we often know when someone is lying, and will go with our feelings and critical thinking and challenge them, but for some reason when it is people in power we choose to be blind. An old Chinese saying: "You cannot wake up a man who is pretending to sleep". It is time to wake!

In my proposed propaganda blog I was (am) going to focus on the observation and feeling of being aware of propaganda, and how this would be deepened with aid of psychedelics, because as any good propagandist will tell you---though many won't--they depend on us being un-conscious of what they are doing!

In the classroom video there is also propaganda-occultist stuff going on in the 'background' (see first picture above) with a 'demon'-like image in the junction between Bush and his whisperer 's heads, and also he is reading the My Pet Goat book upside down . Symbolically this would include reference to Baphomet, an image, connected to the Templars, who has the head of a goat, and the upside down pentagram which symbolizes the physical world ruling over the spiritual.

Is the 'demon' 'axis' reference foreshadowing his 'axis of evil' speech where he will justify the U.S.A's role as world policeman and saviour? Just mentioning it, because the whole scene is very acted (badly), and staged! But like an advert, I am surmizing that great detail was paid to the scene with the whole world watching. Adverts form a continuum with the whole propaganda enterprise.
In Italy --where the term 'propaganda' was first used by the Catholic church to mean the propagating of their faith, a literally glorified selling of their dogma to try and off-set the growing competition from the new 'boys' on the block, Protestantism-- Italians also call adverts propaganda. Which they are.

How many times do we see politicians at staged media-shoots smiling with babies, and children--with their sleeves rolled up when posing with their 'pawns', soldiers, etc--all media opportunities to make the IMAGE for the many people looking in the screen? How much care then went into that classroom scene on that 'big day'?

I have nothing personally against goats, or daemons. I am just trying to read that whole scene, and not miss a trick! Goats and images and symbols are innocent. It is how people interpret them, and what they believe and do in their name.

In the above still from the video see how the child is almost haloed by the the title and map of the United States, and the Statue of Liberty to her right. Bush, his profile framed by The Preamble to the U.S. Constitution print looks attentively at this child with brown skin, representing the U.S. embrace of other ethnic cultures (hmmm). It is all extolling the image that America is the 'Land of the Free' for one and all, which Bush is soon going to claim is the reason why the 'terrists' atacked the WTCs and the Pentagon, because they were jealous of this freedom.
But soon post 9/11, on 26th of October 2001, President Bush signs the The Patriot Act to begin his 'war on terror' (that will never end!), which will create an ecalatingly more oppressive '1984' scenario rather than any freedoms which 'we' had left.
More and more are going to be seen on TV screens brown-skinned people exposed naked in hellish humiliating pictures of torture transmitted by the media of Guantanemo Bay, and Abu Ghraib concentration camps--- disgusting and harrowing 'frozen' scenes which it is hard to describe or take in sanely.

There is of course far more evidence that former President Bush was in on 9/11, and also that behind the neo con puppets lurks a secret government (formed with the start of the National Security Act, military industrial complex, and connected with the corporations, and elite) that presides covertly behind the curtain whilst the gullible public swap and change the President-images, etc, imagining that this is real choice when it really isn't, because the underlying power structures remain.

Some more reviews of the video :

THE NEW AMERICAN CENTURY

"A stunning film. It should be seen as widely as possible, in cinemas, bars, clubs, at meetings and, of course, through the internet. I'm sure the film will continue to be a source of debate and political education for many years. Maybe until the war criminals have been brought to trial." - Ken Loach

"In the White House, they weren't thinking of 9/11 as an attack, but as a gift!" - Robert Steele, former CIA agent

While Massimo Mazzucco’s first political documentary, GLOBAL DECEIT (2006), focused on the long list of inconsistencies in the official version of the 9/11 attacks, THE NEW AMERICAN CENTURY explores the historical, philosophical and economic background that suggests a matrix for such events that is much closer to home than the so-called "Islamic terrorism".

The film provides solid evidence for the true reasons behind the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, whose unfolding is described in chilling detail in a document called "Project for the New American Century", published in the year 2,000, that seems to have served as the actual blueprint for such dramatic events.

There Be Dragons!

2010-08-11T13:49:00.000-07:00

How the patriarchy demonized the Dragon~~~~~~~~~~:

"Myths are not artistic embellishments, fairy stories men make up to amuse themselves and their fellows; they are the very heart and brain, as it were, of the social organism, necessary for its survival -- as that particular society." The Manufacture of Madness, (p.121)

Remember all the stories and films you've read and seen with the main character, the 'hero', attacking dragons, and killing dragons? Has this propaganda made you view dragons, reptiles, as bad? If so don't be so hasty, for Monica Sjoo liberatingly informs us, in her book, 'The Return of the Dark/Light Mother or New Age Armageddon?, the mythological dragons represent from the Goddess earth-centred perspective~are~ the Goddess and are protecting nature, as well as guardians of Trees of Life which connects life and death!
We have thus been indoctrinated, watching and reading and imbibing about how 'mr hero/saint/god destroys the Dragon', thereby being conditioned to accept the 'hero's' inheriters legacy of excuses and actions for their continuing to destroy Earth. Of course by 'destroy' I don't mean as in the end of Earth as a planet, but more so the continuance of the attack on the quality of life for all, and the threat to the human species--following in a long line of other species who have been made extinct which continues.

Jonathan Ott reveals in his books how patriarchal religions have suppressed the real halluconogenic sacrament and replaced it with an empty placebo, thus not allowing ,even the memory of this ancient knowledge and experience, nor people to have direct natural spiritual experience. To experience nature in all its sexual ecstatic potentials in relationship.

Sjoo shows how even the so-called New Age Movement reveals a patriarchal worldview, with belief in a "Christ Consciousness" and how it is supposed to be superior to nature, nature being an 'enemy' to its fulfilment, and thus nature needs to be 'put right'. This belief system would explain their general disdain for psychedelics, regarding a very ancient means for deep communication and sense of relationship with nature.

Some leading New Agers do, however, confess now to having taken psychedelics, in David Icke's case the South American sacred plant, Ayahuasca, but he explains his experience in very world-negative terms---claiming a female voice told him that nature ("3 D reality") was an illusion conjured by evil 'reptiles' to keep humans trapped and having to be reborn here again and again to serve the elite, themselves supposedy a shapeshifting hybrid with the proposed entities. Yet again we have preached to us the ongoing patriarchal antagonism towards the reptilian species (dragon!! and thus the natural world) but this time with a modified modern twist where 'they' are presumed to be actual interdimensional entities, and connected with 'ETs', and/or entities that are in cahoots with the major rich families on the planet of which Icke, in his anti semitic rants, directly connects with the Jewish Zionists as the central evil conspiracy.

In the so-called 'scientific arena' we are led to believe that this world is untainted by the patriarchy, and/or New Age beliefs, because science&scientists operate with reason, especially and particularly via their 'scientific method':

"The enthronement of reason is the chief achievement of post-Enlightenement 'Modernism' in its rebellion against centuries of religious dogma and uncritical acceptance of authority. Science is acclaimed as Modernism's finest fruit..." The Mechanical and the Organic: Virtual Reality and Nature .
So the irony is that the adherents of the emerging scientific worldview 'rebelled' against a phony scam! The orthodox religious dogma with its 'truth' and symbolism. Empty symbolism without actual substance and meaning when divorced from original depth, meaning, and roots of the symbols they had tried to subvert towards their own ends.

So-called 'spirituality' having left a bad taste in the mouth, with its fascistic rules, oppression, and violence, torture, and mass murder - the 'new kids on the block' eventually 'throw it out' and deify 'reason'--ie., mechanical reason without spirit/soul, feeling, depth, and connection with nature in a sensual way. But willy nilly these unresolved subverted symbols, not understood, and consciously rejected, become unconscious and carry on acting out inwardly and onto the world and others.

Sjoo reveals how early invading patriarchal men and their 'gods' were "insatiable" for Soma/hallucinogens----As have been other nature-negative, or world-denying cults.
I think this is such an important thing to know! It reveals that the romantic notion which believes psychedelic experience must always be 'sacred' is just not true if by 'sacred' the mindsets so affected view with disdain other species, women, nature, and even their own physical bodies, and sexuality.
It is also liberating to know because it doesn't disenfranchize our natural self---the self before it eats the sacred plant or substance. Any psychedelic experience is therfore more a continuation, like good sexuality must be with the life of the body in relationship, rather than some 'state' which must be superior to natural life, and the body. The first prerequisite is to feel and understand we are nature. To love, and desire nature, and/or your partner, the experience will go as deep as your feeling will yield to it, and not try and control it.

Now, the 'serpent people' (the indigenous people of the land who recognized lunar mythology of the Goddess) know Goddess contains both light and dark, like the moon in its phases was understood to do, but the 'sons of light' (ie., the males who were part of the solar cults, who identified themselves solely with the 'good light' as opposed to the 'bad darkness'), do not believe their solar god has anything to do with darkness, and that the latter was a mistake and must be defeated, or there must be continual conflict between light and dark.. So the CLUE to be aware of is this patriarchal division between light and dark--consequently also implying a division between what was believed to represent light, and body, repectively sun, mind/spirit, thought of by that androcentric worldview as male, and for body, woman, and nature--which becomes the 'mind/body dualism'.

The patriarchy fear the dark and thus reject it, but you can't reject 'it', for it is not an it, bur rather a process which always involves light. You can't have one without the other! ( Note it is hard for the abstrating terms of thinking to think as process for in the very terms of describing process you 'have' to say "one" and "other"). Therefore what they reject they unconsciously project. Thus their behaviour becomes what they hypocritically shout against--'evil', and is ongoingly poisoning nature and the soul itself.
A very powerful example is fear of 'dark' people, and the need to persecute them to justify the 'rightness' of the 'white/'light' race'. This is what is meant about the symbolism unresolved, and not understood becoming unconscious. The fear of darkness is still there, which includes dark skin, and sense of the 'other', albeit cleverly conceiled to oneself--and others-- and justified rationally in the 'reasoning' brain--which is really irrational. The same for their myth of the Theory of Evolution, a myth which has been used by the 'superior reasoning class' to subjugate those peoples deemed to be not as evolved as those who 'reason' that to be the case.

Patriarchal religion proclaimed spirit was transcendent. Patriarchal science proclaims nature is mechanical. Notice that both worldviews remove spirit from nature--thus devaluing the Goddess (who represents nature as a process of matter and spirit--you cannot have one without the other)--for nature and the Goddess have always been related.

The diagram shows you how 'spirit' and 'matter' dramatically change in the hierarchy once scientific materialism takes over the major power role away from the church. In both worldviews it is made sure to the people--the victims of their oppressive myth-- that 'matter' has nothing to do with 'spirituality'!

Myths can be alive and liberating or they can be stifling and oppressive to body, and mind, and all that you need to live~~others and nature. Also not just for humans. Other anceint myths, such ss native America myths/stories would include animals, for example, and honour them as our relations.
In our materialistic myth millions of animals are captured and bred for a lifetime--however short and misreable that may be--of what they term 'animal testing, and vivisection'! All reasoned out as for the betterment of human life.

Maybe it is hard to see yourself under an oppressive mythic system--that is the power of propaganda. The image that can help is imagining yourself a prisoner in a loud clanking jail:

So there you are in that institution--the jail. Can you hear the oppressive lonely clanking sounds echoing all round? The harsh geometric lines and grim colours of the surfaces hurt the eye. The hard light. You were born here! This is all you know. You are told that this is it. This is reality. Through the barred windows you can see the large expanse of blue sky and rolling clouds, the green hills, woods, and streams, and feel wisps of fresh breeze caress your face through the grill, but you've always been told that all that belongs to the owner of your jailhouse. If you tell his representative, the screws, you are unhappy, or hallucinating/stir crazy they explain that you must be suffering from a physical disease which they term mental illness. They have pills, such as 'anti-depressants', and 'anti-psychotics', etc, and electric shock treatment, which suppress emotions. These help you carry on doing the jobs which help keep the jailer very rich, and his screws also get a good share.
But what is really making you feel bad is that you feel something is wrong. Bad food, environment, both physical and psychological.
Because you've been born into this environment you don't know the roots, That this jailer built the jail for his own power and oppression over you. You are being lied to, but aren't quite sure... And if you take these pills these emotions may subside, or you may kill yourself.

See the patriarchal (rule of the father) game: By disenfranchising nature patriarchal man proclaims: "You need ME!" --in its theocracy this 'me' is as the priests who are claiming to be intermediaries between you and 'God', and this enforced dependence gives them power.

With scientism, the new 'priests' are the scientists, not as intermediaries to a 'God' though, who they claim to have not any use for any more, but rather - their presumed to be - vastly superior mechanical knowledge and ability to dis-cover reality using their 'scientific method'.

The patriarchal mindset wants more and more control.

What is this need for control?

A way to approach this question is to checkout a central social controlling myth of these 'scientific' times--the myth of 'mental illness'. The pushers, supporters, and authorities of this myth very rarely look at themselves as being 'mentally ill', but label more and more people, including children, as having disorders/diseases of the biological organism.
An example, so-called 'Obsessive Compulsive Disorder'. A person with 'OCD' usually is seen as ritually doing things which however seemingly strange are a way to bring an order in their lives which may seem chaotic and confusing to them. They may keep washing hands repetetively, or count certain numbers obsessively before doing a task, etc. This demand for order is really a fear of chaos, and 'lack of control'. An irrational anxiety of what could happen IF they didn't carry out certain rituals so as to attain some seeming order.

Well if you look at the history of the solar cults and the patriarchy, or if you prefer the 'dominator model', we see this same demand for control via obsessive ritual though on a much larger scale, and it is in reaction to nature and the Goddess which has been seen to be chaotic by the insane rationalism of a typical male warrior mindset. Where light is worshipped and darkness feared. Death is seen as chaos.The darkness and chaos is unknown and therefore cannot be analyzed and brought under some kind of perceived and preconceived order. Of course the greatest fear of this worldview is DEATH! And it is therefore no surprise that the great dream of this scientific dictatorship--'transhumanism'--seeks to mechanically 'conquer' disease and death!

"...there seems to be a sense from ancient peoples that death was not feared the way we fear it today. There is evidence that death was seen as part of life not its opposite. A belief in regeneration is the same belief in the scientific axiom that energy is neither created nor destroyed." Energy changes form. So we change form when we die. If early people were able to celebrate this, why can't we? We have become frightened of life's cyclical pattern as we have attempted to control nature--which has become more and more of an obsession.
Controlling nature is impossible. It is terribly egocentric to think that nature is ours for the taking. What would our lives be like if we lived in the conscious psychic experience of this cyclical pattern? Would we be afraid of dying. Would we be able to accept death as a change of form rather than fear it as an end?
The aspect of the Goddess associated with death and regeneration is the Crone--also symbolized in reality as the Dark Moon--as well as with such mythical aspects of the Goddess as serpent-headed Medusa.

When you look at the patriarchal mythology you will see these mythologiocal feminine archetypes maligned, attacked, and censored--just like the Dragon. Medusa was the patriarchal 'hero's' Underworld enemy and just one look into her eyes turned him/men to stone. 'Death'. Death seen by the warrior cultists not as the great liberator without which life could not be, for death and life are the warp and woof of reality, but rather as a curse to fear and conquer.
This is why the mythological aspect of the Goddess, the Crone, has been and continues to be so feared by them.

Seeing Through the Psychedelic Transhumanism (H+) Trip

2010-06-16T09:32:00.000-07:00

Transhumanism ( or H+ for short) is the idea that introducing technology into the human body will create a 'posthuman' A superman, An ubermensch:

Now as I began to research this subject, a very odd thought dawned on me--maybe re-dawned--that the two most influential speakers and writers on the subject of psychedelics since the 1960s , Timothy Leary and Terrence McKenna, were both psychedelic transhumanists !!

Timothy Leary had actually been against the Ecology Movement, seeing it as a seductive hinderence against what he believed was our h+ destiny -- leaving "womb planet" Earth and exploring the stars in our computerized Startrek crafts, whilst also biologically evolving into a diverse species of posthumans. It's all set down in his book, Exo-psychology. This book was written by Leary whilst serving a five to ten year jail sentence for possession of 00.1 grammes of marijuana, and in one found himself put as next cell-door neighbour to Charles Manson. Maybe it is not so suprising then Tim dreamed of leaving planet earth? His trauamatic experiences of prison life are described in his book, Neuropolitique.

Terrence Mckenna, it appears to me, was coming from a more contradictory perspective---on one hand claiming that Goddess and nature were essentially important to commune with, whilst on the other hand, raving about what a buzz it will be when we can download our 'consciousness' onto a computer, his premise being that 'consciousness' is a 'thing' which can be downloaded.

Another strange thing I have found researching this subject is that there hardly exists any criticism whatsoever up to the present date, as far as I'm aware, against psychedelic transhumanism. There are quite a few good sources of critique against H+, but when you add 'psychedelic', no. It seems to me that members of the academic, political, and creative psychedelic community seem to not envision any need to critique this subject? So I will.

It is as though those in the psychedelic 'movement' who embrace the ideals of H+ do not realize the history of it! If they did they would learn that the Eugenicist Sir Julian Huxley coined the term, 'Transhumanism' to replace 'Eugenics' --post World War 2-- so it would not be linked with Hitler and the Nazis' use of Eugenics in their genocidal doings against disabled people, the Jews, etc etc etc!! How would they like to be known as 'Psychedelic Eugenicists' me thinks, yet 'Transhumanism' means exactly the same, accept with more advanced technology, and which Fukuyama argues is the most dangerous idea in the world.

So, as I see it, members of the psychedelic community who embrace these H+ ideals surely cannot understand the awful past of this idealism, and the elite's futurist corporate intentions for H+, and would rather, comfortably, idealistically, 'cooly', assume that all the nasty stuff of war, classism, racism, genocides, and ecocides are all going to somehow disappear when the oligarchy, whose power set-up forms a continuum with that past, 'kindly' let us psychedelically experienced artists--and 'the people'-- loose on their machines---machines with which they are planning to penetrate our intimate skin boundaries. The propaganda about this, also known as 'predictive programming' is in films, and music videos, and commercials--the 'brave new world'.

The propaganda will make out that H+ is merely a very advanced extension of animal breeding, implying that was a natural consequence of human ingenuity for helping the evolution of animals, but will hide the horror of the reality of animal breeding: " ...perhaps most shocking was the callous and deluded attitude of many breeders (apart from a few honourable exceptions) and their representative body, the Kennel Club. The links between the Kennel Club, the eugenics movement and Nazism went some way to explaining the warped attitudes that sustain the breeding industry: the notion that it is acceptable to sacrifice sentient individuals for the sake of ‘racial purity’. Some of the breeders, frankly, had a tenuous grip on reality, and that’s putting it generously."

DNA manipulation of unborn babies is part of this H+ agenda. It surely is obvious to anyone who has studied the history of the patriarchy that they, fathers-who-rule, supervising and funding those in lab coats, would want to take over role of the feminine womb, as they did in the past in their mythologies, and forcibly taking over the role of childbirth from the midwives.

Below I will respond to a series of enboldened quotes taken from the above link: psychedelic transhumanists

"McKenna: Our technologies... are obviously lethal I would say, but they are fortunately a kind of chrysalis of ideological constraint that technology is in the process of dissolving. William Butler saw this in the 19th Century, Teilhard de Chardin reached it in the forties and the fifties McLuhan expressly articulated this vision in the fifties and the sixties.

Everything is about to get very much more complicated, much larger, the number of choices are about to exponentially explode. In a sense, these technologies point us toward, if not literal godhood, then a kind of fictional godhood. We are all going to become the masters of the narrative in which we are embedded. Our separate stories are going to take on dimensions so multifarious that for all practical purposes we will each move into a cosmos of our own creation and control."

WHO is 'we'? Is it the elite and the middle class? The oligarchy has never given technology to the people. Look at the medical services in America 'land of the free'. Poor people do not have same access to technological medical help like those who have adequate insurance and can pay for it. So why would things suddenly change one morning with this H+ technology? Surely it must be realized by now that all the elite and their lackies care about is PROFITS?
As I compose this blog post the 'worst oil disaster' has caused untold ecocidal destruction to the Gulf of Mexico, and wetlands. The oil companies rake in BILLIONS yet do not even know what to do when anything goes wrong with their technology. In fact they will not even spend money to try and ensure potential accident prevention. This same profit-blinded mindset pervades the whole enterprise we call civilization.

"David Pearce: ...I think it’s fair to say the transhumanist community is mostly interested in intelligence-amplification — superintelligence rather than supersentience...Psychedelic drugs can briefly give us a tiny insight into how “blind” we normally are; but we soon lapse into ignorance again. Such is the state-dependence of memory. " ibid

Who is he speaking for? He doesn't bother to look deeply into what 'blindness' and ignorance means. He doesn't explore the roots of this, and just, himself, blindly assumes that more of the very same insanity which is causing this blindness and ignorance will be our saviour. You know the saying: 'insanity is repeating the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result'.?

Well it has been found that over-stimulation of the young with gadgets--computers, vid games, cell phones, i pods, all contribute to BOREDOM. All this over-stimulation atrophies the imagination, because their sense of reality is being constantly filled up with stimulation from techno-entertainment-land all the time. Once they don't have access to it they don't know what to do and feel 'dead bored'. I personally spoke to a young girl of about 16 girl who is all the time looking at and using her cellphone, and she admitted to me that if she doesn't have it she feels all "shakey".
The feeling I get from this is that it is like the 'man' is a 'jealous man' (for after all wasn't 'God' wanting to be called the 'jealous God'. So 'Man' takes over 'his' throne in the Enlightenment and becomes the 'jealous man'---He takes on the role of the previous patriarchal archetype?) and doesn't want you gazing lovingly at the natural world, and feeling content looking at the dynamic changing clouds, of the shifting patterns of shadows on the trees, listening to the wind, and hearing birdsong, and feeling that this is all sacred. No, he wants a SCREEN in your face with his entertainment packet, his 'virtual world' and make sure he is getting a good rent from it, with hope of further rents to come as he applies new techy dagets with more apps, and more apps.

At the time news broke out about the BP oil disaster, was news of the mad rush of people and celebrities all wanting to get the new Apple IPad. Long queues of people spent all night sleeping on the pavements waiting to get into the store and be the the first in the UK to get their hands on this latest shiny techno-toy, and we saw a picture of highbrow celebrity, Stephan Fry, smiling at camera for the paper, with his head resting against the corner of his precious little newly bought IPad.

But other news not reported, but very connected with the Ipads ----- from the Chinese factory where these toys are made-- Foxconn, there have been 11 suicides! Mostly young workers so soul-destroyed by the tedious conveyor belt drugery of churning out these 'cool Ipads', long hours, and not even allowed human contact with other workers, they all have--over a period of realtively short time-- jumped off the top floor windows and roof of the factory. This video really says it all for me.

So regarding Pearce's quote, again he is really speaking about his experience with psychedelics, and integration, and projecting his negative experience onto everyone--hence the 'we'.

In my experience with psychedelics it is not like his at all. What I have learned from psychedelic experience is that generally people are asleep yes, but to look for the reasons. And this has inspired me to look at the very civilization we get born into and take for granted, and the history we're taught, and the social-controlling mental illness myth, and mass media propaganda, and the so-called 'education system', and the so-called 'war on drugs' etc--and to explore how all these issues interconnect and make the dead 'wasteland' many of us 'return' to after we have the sacred ecstatic experiences possible with psychedelic experience---this return usually referred to as 'coming down'.

Pearce, instead of seeing the H+ idealism as being part of the problem--interconnected with all the other onslaughts on our souls, and nature---he is looking at it as the solution. Ironically so, as the means to increase intelligence. But his 'intelligence' cannot it seems survey all I am trying to point out--which when explored surely increases intelligence-- or apparently understand how a minority who would imagine they were now posthuman intelligence would feel even more superior than they normally do in contrast with other people, labelled 'terrists', because they haven't 'upgraded' themselves, who haven't got the same appropriate tech-attachments inserted, never mind all the other species! I see the solution an unlearning more than an adding machine-parts. UN-learning the propaganda that is the same old one with shiny robot clothes and flashing lights on.

Timothy Leary likened being humans trying to imagine our interfusion with advanced technology as like “caterpillar fantasies about what post-larval life will be like.” ibid

But why not understand that trying to imagine what we have lost is far more hard--as in lost our soul!

"Eric Davis: How do we live with creative intelligence and awakened senses in a groundless world beyond our control? Behind the veneer of objective medicine, psychopharmacology is simply offering its own resolutely philosophical answer to the eternal problem of human suffering: Use technology to control its symptoms. The posthuman self is a self on drugs — SSRIs, hormones, brain boosters, neurotransmitters. We have entered an era that sanctions the psychoactive use of commercial chemicals, not just to cure disease or even to relieve suffering, but to reformat who we feel we are."

Is that so? As far as I am aware this era does not sanction people--even terminally ill people--to have access to entheogenic or empathogenic experience. The only slight current change is a very tight-arsed selective so-called 'resurrgence' where 'studies' are being done with people, including the terminally ill, where they are 'allowed' to take psychedelics and empathogens.

WHO has the authority to say who can and cannot explore their consciousness with sacred plants and substances---yet Davies claims they sanction.
He mentions SSRIs in a positive light, but no mention of the exploitation of all that---the myth of mental illness, and the coercive drugging of poeple and children as social control, nor the dangers to health from the drugs. As usual---Eric Davies seems to think he is as techo-psychedelic's thinking man, in the know, but doesn't seem to have any knowledge of the elite politcal motives behind these 'sanctions'. He rather implies it is all cool.

He continues:

"It’s likely that people will become ever more comfortable with the notion that unpleasant (and unproductive) psychological states are simply bad code in the Darwinian bio-computer. And once you’re comfortably ensconced inside that materialist cosmology, where meaning is secondary to mechanics, there is no particularly compelling reason (other than medical fallout) not to debug the mind with consumer molecules. The paradox is that these mechanistic molecules can produce deeper, more authentic selves. People on SSRIs often describe themselves as finally feeling like normal people, like the person they were meant to be. This paradox… lies at the heart of the posthuman condition."ibid

Well people I know personally, have spoken to, and others' stories I read about, don't tell me they feel like 'normal' people (whatever that means) after taking SSRIs--it is more they don't feel real! They feel that there is a drugged barrier between where they feel 'happy' but yet.....! Is that surprising when these mechanistic-brain-chemical tweakers imagine us as bio-computers who shouldn't be feeling down, and that it is 'chemical imbalance' and that soon we should all expect a literal dial on our heads 'we' (or they!) will be able to turn it and receive smiling 24/7 pleasure. And no death of course.

But look what he does. He asserts that we are "bio-computers" which is the current mechanistic philosophy and theory of Computationalism. I do not dig this theory at all. It comes from a long line of mechanistic reasoning starting proper with animal-torturer Rene Descartes, Descrates tried to describe his concepts using state of the art engineering mechanisms of the tile, pulleys and so on. Sigmund Freud also used mechanical metaphors to describe his theory of the ego, id, and superego.
So I see this now----Men of science have come up with their 'baby' the computer and now all the universe and consciousness has to conform to its perimeters. To its reason. We are all told we are 'bio-computers', and so we believe we are though there's no actual proof.
Accepting this common description of what we are will of course make it very easy for us to ask to be plugged into the Big Computer when the corporate time-is-right, for after all we are a 'bio-computer'.

The 'bio-computers' I have been reading above don't seem to have an insight to the real problems like for example, who OWNS the gadgets they wanting to stick in us? From whence is this very paradigm coming, and what for? What about all the terrible exploitation of the poor going right back in history, and continuing now? And much more!

"Pesce:...The question of the body is one of the largest questions in virtual reality. Where is the body in cyberspace? Where are you when your email is flashing across the net, when your agents are doing your bidding? Where are you, and how do you maintain your self?"

Where am I when I send an email? I am sat here? if I post a letter I am at the post box? The body in 'cyberspace' is usually in one place attached to a technological device. Where else would it be? On the roof?
If I see the shaman collapse in a trance where is his body? I can see it lying down. THERE is his body. Hir physical body. If I am having a psychedelic experience and with eyes shut am flying through space, and yet eyes half open am sat in a chair where am I? Both sat in a chair and flying through space. What is 'body'? my physical body is in the chair for sure.

Psychedelics can produce these boundary dissolutions where you flow into another thing. What we’re going to see, and it’s actually quite true, is that certain types of VR can produce the precisely same affect. There are zones where virtual reality can be very dangerous for that reason, or incredibly powerful and meaningful for that reason. So... I really want to work from the heart.

I personally think in my own philosophy that to work in technology, you have to work from the heart center. Because otherwise you’ll create golems, you’ll create Frankensteins, your creations will run away from you. That’s the essence of the story of the golem — that this is a creature that was created with the breath of life but without the light of knowledge or the heart. The heart of God." ibid

But what is technology now? What is it doing to the soul, and to the earth. More and more is taken from the earth to build more and more technology, and this pollutes the REAL world not the virtual world, but the computer-wannabe-posthumans try and create the myth that reality is really a virtual reality, simulated reality
because of their metaphysical assumption of computationalism which they call reality.

American Drug War Caste System

2010-06-02T12:27:00.000-07:00

I happened on this video a few nights ago, and it really blew me away. I knew, of course, about the massive prison population in the United States which is the largest in the world, and that the proportion of non-white people incarcerated is also highest, even more so than it was in apartheid South Africa, but I had never really been taken into the origins and core of this problem like speaker in this video took me:

"The drug war is the single most important cause of the expansion of the prison system in the United States"

So-called politically correct movements like "Affirmative Action"--supposedly showing how black people are being integrated into society which is 'colour blind'--"mask" what is actually going on for non-whites such as in poor neighbourhoods of mostly black and ethnic people targeted by militarized police SWAT teams who, under the pretext of the so-called 'war on drugs', do blanket searches, terrorizing people on the streets and in their homes. To get an experience of this terror please see the video in my previous blog entry!

Once someone has been charged and imprisoned for the victimless crime of selling or even possession of drugs, or claim of, they are a labelled 'felon' for life, and this effects all their human rights. Not only do the lose their freedom being locked up, but once released they cannot get foodstamps, accomodation, work, etc etc. This is why this is a caste system.

"Whereas with Jim Crow there was still a sense of community, and solidarity in the black communities, mass incaceration has turned black community against itself."

This is a most important video to watch, and I hope like me you will share this far and wide.

As Michelle Alexander, the speaker in the video says, and I feel this too, the most radical action is always grass roots, changing things from the ground up! Just say KNOW, and tell your friends, and all contacts. Thankyou.

Look what happened to this family and pets by the corrupt 'War on Drug' criminals!!!

2010-05-19T11:34:00.000-07:00

Please let us not underestimate ourselves. It is we, people, who can and must, stop this corruption and abuse of people, and our freedom. One of the ways of doing this is using this media to really get it out there and expose what is going on, and speaking out against it.

This is an awful video showing you militarized police officers criminally invading a man's family home, which also has little children, and shooting his dog (how many reading know what it feels like to lose a dog you love?), because he has some marijuana!

Please share this far and wide as you can in any way you can, speak out against it, and please ask the same. Thankyou.

If Your Going to San Fran Cisco/ Be sure to.......!!!

2010-04-24T12:28:00.000-07:00

My post was going to be about something more inspiring than this one, but I just had to mention this .....disgrace. I am shocked.
I am sadly used to it here in the UK. Crowds watching a person attampting to commit suicide off a building and luaghing and yelling for them to jump and taking videos and pictures of this horrendous event in someone's life on their 'mobiles', even after they jump, and the injury and death. I have heard about this several times and was deeply upset about it, but I have just read an article that shows the very same inhumanity has happened in San Francisco....? This utterly destroys my romantic vision of that place. San Francisco had been one of the first cities in the States I would love to have visited. It is really beautiful (though am sure it has its ghetto alas as most places do now), the hills by the sea, the misty harbour---where Alan Watts used to live in his houseboat. Home of the Flower Children, later the 'Hippies', Freaks, Heads in Haight Ashbury~~~ The gentle beckoning song~~~If your goin to San fran cisco/be sure to wear some flowers in your hair... Peace and Love....And I'd still imagine a real good vibe still there that is different from most modern cities.

Then I read this: San Francisco Crowd Encouraged Suicide Victim To Jump- Then Laughed

What kind of person would tell a suicidal man to jump? Or laugh after the man throws himself from a 3rd story window ledge to his death below. But that’s exactly what some people did when a guy in turquoise boxer shorts stood on the ledge of his loft apartment window (over the Forever 21 Store in San Francisco, CA) for approximately 15 minutes before he jumped. A large crowd gathered below, and as the man seemed to contemplate whether to jump or not, they videotaped and tweeted about the ordeal, finding entertainment rather than tragedy in the whole heartbreaking situation. And though some people shouted for him not to jump, others callously encouraged him to do so, according to San Francisco resident Terence Prasad and other eye-witnesses who commented on the San Francisco Examiner coverage of the suicide.

i was there and im traumatized. the guys next to me were laughing telling him to jump and videotaping the whole thing. i’m still young and in high school and this is gunna stick with me for the rest of my life. there was a total lack of respect for the poor man and people were laughing when he jumped.

Feb 16, 2010

I was passing by and witnessed the suicide. I looked away, but the sound of the impact will stay with me forever. The fact that I saw people in the crowd laughing less than 10 seconds after the man’s death may be more disturbing than actually watching him die. May he rest in peace.

Feb 16, 2010

I walked by just as the police were covering him up.

I asked a couple what had happened and the man responded yes — laughingly. I asked him if he thought it was funny.

He then gave me a kind of funny look and didn’t say anything.

How very sad this man died this way. People, please be nice to each other.

I watched this man standing on the ledge a few moments before he jumped. He was thinking and hesistating. I exclaimed that I hope that man is not going to jump and a lady replied that if he really wants to do it, he should already have done it.

It is very disturbing then to learn that there were people who did encourage him to jump. Society has become so desensitized and human life reduced to an amusement and a spectacle.

I saw the whole thing.....wish I didn’t. I was so disgusted at the severe lack of respect shown by so many in the crowd. All of the people who were encouraging him to jump.....may your souls burn for all eternity.

If only the loooosers who were yelling jump would add to the spectacle by jumping themselves . . .
It would be fantastic to be rid of them !

I was there and felt sickened for this man’s life. What was going through his mind? He looked like his wasn’t sure if he really wanted to jump. I feel like he could have been talked out of it, if the suicide help person was able to get into his apartment. I feel that the crowd’s actions encouraged him to jump. This is a very sad, dark society we live in. It makes me scared to walk the streets with these heartless people. Rest in Peace, And may the Lord have Mercy on your soul!

Feb 17, 2010

According to the police, the young man was apparently distraught over a breakup with his girlfriend. The fact that suicide was the young man’s choice was bad enough. I had a hard time with overhearing and observing people joking and finding amusement with this tragic event. Have the youth of today lost their senses of compassion and judgment? Unfortunately, I believe they have...

The common consensus was that had there been enough people encouraging him not to end his life, rather then telling him to jump, perhaps the ending of this story would have had a happy one. What kind of sick society takes pleasure in the demise of a fellow human being? And from the comments, it appears that many of the bystanders were young. If so, it’s a sad indictment of our youth today. But regardless of age, it is incumbent upon us all to care for our brothers and sisters in need."

It is a sadism effecting the youth, though not all the youth (I hope), and not only the youth, but a terrible thing is going on in the psyche of a sizeable portion. It has to do with the screen doesn't it? The images ----we have become images to that sorry soul-dead mindset. We are 'entertainment-objects'. Like a 'sex object' an entertainment-object even if in utter distress and literally on the edge is not seen as real, as a living being with feelings, and fragile body, but as some thing to show on 'Youtube' or any other computer video screen.

"I walked by just as the police were covering him up.

I asked a couple what had happened and the man responded yes — laughingly. I asked him if he thought it was funny.

He then gave me a kind of funny look and didn’t say anything."

A funny kind of look.

A walk in March and Time

2010-03-28T02:17:00.000-07:00

I had a walk in the park this morning. Last night the 'clocks were put forward' by one hour, and thus we 'lose an hour,. unlike when the clocks are 'changed back' in advent of winter where we 'gain an hour'.
As I walked I realized about a quarter of the way that I had been in my head. I had been thinking about things, and what I had planned for later, and then it dawned that here I was walking and was not looking at the day so I then began to.

I first started looking at the Birch trees I was walking by. I love them because of their very off white, and moon-ish trunks with the dark brown ridges that contrast with the creamy hue. I always somehow associate them with the moon for some reason because I imagine them on moonlit nights really full of moonglow on account of their silvery skin. I also love the way their very dark branches hang in sensitive exquisiteness, like a branches waterfall, as they are so delicate, and give me such a good feeling to look at them especially if the branches are hanging in front of some background that accentuates their cascading form.

I carry on walking and see a person in the distance walking, and this observation makes me think of the action of walking, how strange it is, and I feel my muscles in my legs and hips as I walk energetically. How many take walking for granted? I remember when I was a kid and was in hospital for a while, and because of being in bed quite long, I had to be taught how to walk again and it was really hard. Your legs don't do what you want them to do, and it takes lots of help and encouragement and support, but once you do you just do it naturally and don't have to consciously think about it.
Being aware of walking felt great, because it was a very visceral experience feeling all the muscles, and realizing how great it is to walk and exercise.

I past more trees, and some had this flowing pattern flowing up or down the trunk, and it reminded me of when you see a place where a river has been~~maybe even very anciently~~ and you see serpentine flowing traces of the memory of water telling you its past.

I sensed trees on this 'first day of Spring' were all budded and ready to spring, I felt the aliveness in their form and at same time heard lots of excited bird songs as if all the birds knew that Spring had at last come after a very severe winter they have had.

It was quite cold fresh, but this made walking feel good because when you breathed in you felt all this fresh air going into your body, muscles, skin, and it felt exhilarating.
The sky was grey but it wasn't flat grey, there were clouds and the light from the sun was shining through the greys creating really amazing contrasts, and making the surrounding have this stark light changing dynamic light and shade. The puddles from the night rain shone a very intense silvers with reflections of clouds, and as I walked through this wood I heard a remarkably loud sound of a Woodpecker as it drilled some tree I couldn't see. At first I had thought it must be some men somewhere with a power tool, but no, it was a Woodpecker as herald of Spring sounds.

I started remembering a recent interesting part of the TV programme I had happened to catch a couple of nights ago. The presenter was talking about time. About how years ago different places in the UK had different times. There was no set, or standardized time. So you could, for example, travel to a town different from yours and find the time there was not the same as your own!
Especially in the country there was a more sense of following of the movements of the sun and moon seasons. It has to be said, however, that one of the first institutions that acted to control time and space so as to gain more power over people was the Church. They did this by putting clocks on the churches so as to make sure the 'peasants' would adhere to the times of Church services, and other demands.
Full standardization of time though begins proper with the advent of the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century when, with the growth of the railway system connecting all 'provincial' towns with each other and places with London a so-called 'London Time' was expected to be followed by first the whole of the UK and then the whole world! So now all 'time is synchronized' and 'time is money', and people are tied by time, mechanical time takes over from a more organic sense of time.
It is obvious that this mechanization of time really suited the 'time masters' who herded the 'peasants' off the land and into the cities where they were then having to toil most of the day in factories like cogs in a machine, and/or clock.

I remember my second psychedelic experience with LSD many many moons ago when I was 15 taken with some friends, when we got to be thinking about 'time'. The time was "1:40 am" or "twenty to two", and we all became aware how absurd the clocktime was and all fell about laughing hysterically at the whole clocktime tick tock absurdity, so much so that we wrote on a wall in big letters "IT IS TWENTY TO TWO" and were laughing like you can only laugh when in the midst of a very powerful LSD trip! It was a seriously powerful insight. We were seeing directly through the time prison that all of us modernized citi-zens, or cogs in a timemachine, take as reality. A 'reality' of mechanized mono-time.

As I walked thinking about this, I thought of the painter Salvidor Dali and his sur~real floppy clock. He of course was showing the same insight through his art.

I had a little bag of goodies for the Crows~~just some remains of real good bread, Cheshire cheese which had gone a little mouldy, not too much mouldy as i don't like throwing crap food scraps to wildlife, and a bit of cereal.
These Crows favourite place is this green orchard near where people hangout and therefore they can be assured of getting some nice picks of food. When they know that feast is nearing they all crow--I love that sound, and I love their black feathered body shapes against the green grass as they swoop down where the food is at. They come from the trees, and surround, and I love the sound of their feathers too.
I get this dark thought of that old Billie Holiday song Strange Fruit, about the lynchings of black people in the Deep South and how the racists would hang the black humans in trees,

' Southern trees bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.

Pastoral scene of the gallant south
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh.

Here is fruit for the crows to pluck
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop
Here is a strange and bitter crop.'

But now was not anything so awful, and the Crows were delight to see gathering the food, full of the joys of the coming spring~~~

‘Con’?spiracy Theory, ‘Education’ & Polarity, etc

2010-02-15T14:13:00.000-08:00

[I had been airing my views at Reality Sandwich and Daniel Pinchbeck complimented my ideas saying I was "on it" and would I do a feature for RS. This is it, though of course here are added pictures]

So what do we do?

Important question: What actually matters so that we can feel inspired, and help create communities that really do change things for the better for all of us, all species, and nature, and what blocks this vision and action?
There seem to exist ‘diverse’ various ‘alternative’ sources of information with their respective leaders claiming to help answer this question, but how can I trust them? How do I know they aren’t part of the very problem they claim to expose?
If any speaker supposedly claiming to help me, on one hand, by informing me what’s going on behind the scenes which are set up to control me, and yet on the other hand pushes a myth which is dualistic, and therefore detrimental to my sense of being, and relationship with nature, then that double-bind message cancels out any fruits that could be had from what the speaker is claiming to help me with.
Things people say have to make sense. There has to be integrity throughout what they are saying, and doing. Are they infiltrating disinfo-agents set up to divert peoples energies away from the real roots of the crises facing us and planet earth, attention whores, and/or just opportunists, and clever marketers just making money out of some fear-business which they think they have to keep rolling along, or all combined?
Are people hooked to them because they desperately want to believe, or for kicks, or both. Only you can answer that, but bear in mind that while you’re sucked into their power, and/or the research they lock you into, that the real world is under attack, and surely that needs our energies for helping stop what is causing this destruction.
Therefore people who make out they are ‘helping’ need to be challenged. I am available always to be challenged, and questioned, about what I say, and I expect the same from others? That is real community. Better, these people need to be seen through and then we move onto what really matters.

One of the most well-known New Age conspiracy theorist gurus, David Icke, claims he had an Ayahuasca trip, and experienced hearing a “Voice”.
This voice told, and showed him, that our commonly experienced reality in the “5 sense world/3D world” is inferior to the “place” he went to in his vision. Voice informed him that our known reality is really a “matrix” that depends on our collective fear to actually feed it (just as well he is spreading fear with such tales ey?)!
This is undoubtedly a dualistic myth, and not earth, universe, soul, or community friendly, at all. This kind of ‘channelling’ is typical from the New Age world as is revealed in the book, Return of the Dark/Light Mother or New Age Armageddon? by Monica Sjoo : “The most frightening aspect of the New Age is its adoption, and perpetration, of a mishmash of the reactionary, patriarchal occult traditions and thinking of both east and west, all of which have in common a hatred of the Earth, authoritarianism, racism and misogyny.” (p.85)
Icke bases his theories of a global conspiracy of Jews/elite cum Reptilians, which ‘post- Ayahuasca -trip’ become, ”holographic projections that have no soul”, on a known forged document called The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, the same book Hitler and the Nazis got much of their inspiration from…

I very much do not trust David Icke, especially his supposed use of Ayahuasca to spread his nature-hating, and paranoid, propaganda. Inducing his audiences, and further afield, through his clever-honed stage shtick, to distrust nature and see it as an illusion, and thus not really to be that concerned about. For if reality, nature, is ‘illusion’, and somewhere else—in Icke’s head-trip—is the ‘real reality’ of “infinite love”’, then why should people care about what happens to the trees, insects, animals, land, waters, air—it’s all a projection that is made by our fear! What an ugly vision, and this makes me think that maybe Icke is a plant, pardon the pun, for to carry on with his paranoia even after Ayahuasca…..? Though if you listen to the beginning of his talk (linked above) he does say this, which is really the only thing he says that makes sense; that he believes “where you are” [in your own mind] when you take an entheogen is where you will go. So if you are in a good place you will have a heavenly experience, and if in a bad place you may see demons, and so on. But he doesn’t seem to apply that insight to his own experience i.e., that his previous paranoia (mental set) about ‘reptiles’, and the sinister nature of the ‘Illuminati controlled world matrix’- may have been where he ‘was’ before he drank the Ayahuasca. But no, I have heard that he preaches about the ‘voice’ at all his talks as though it is some kind of revelation as to the ‘true’ nature of reality. He is of course free to do that, but I am free to challenge what he puts out.

Also, I have heard from others who have experienced Ayahuasca that if he is telling the truth about his experience it is a ‘one-off’ as generally most experiencers have had a true sacred experience that brings them closer to nature in all its sacredness (I would be interested if anyone has had a similar experience to David Icke’s?)
My psychedelic experience has given me insight into polarity, and how it is vitally different from dualism. With duel~ism (wordplay) there is the usual presumed battle between supposed oppo-sites, a famous patriarchal ‘conflict’ being ‘light’ versus ‘dark’ and vice versa, and this is really mindsets conceptualizing ‘entities’ abstracted from a dynamic process. For you cannot have light without dark. You cannot have ‘3 dimensionality’ without the ‘other’ be it ‘infinite love’, the great ‘Mystery’ or whatever you want to call ‘it’.

Here is a stronger critique of David Icke: “David Icke is a dangerous madman. A thorough expose of Icke and of the malign brand of New Age racialist fascism he peddles is to be found on Public Eye, the website of the very reliable Political Research Associates (it is funded by the U.S. labor movement and foundations), and which--under the tutelage of the excellent Chip Berlet--monitors extremist, racist, anti-democratic, violent, and cult-like sects and movements.”

Theosophy, which has had much influence in bringing about the New Age movement, was founded by Helena Blavatsky , who also claimed to be in contact with a supernatural form of communication she called ‘Mahatmas’, and she came up with a theory of “root races”, the myth which inspired the Nazis’ will for the bringing about of a sixth root race of the ubermenschen, or Nordic supermen.

Helena Blavatsky

Theosophy also had connections with the Eugenics Movement, which formulated a pseudoscience designed to weed out and/or maintain the ‘inferior’ humans from the ‘superior’, which, as John Taylor Gatto shows, is, in essence, the intention of the ‘education’ system.

In the UK, U.S., Europe, and virtually all over the world, there is a compulsory ‘education’ system! (In commas to point out it is not authentic education). Gatto, in his book The Underground History of American Education exposes the origins, machinery, design, and intention, of this institution of ‘education’ that begins in Kindergarten, through school, college, university, and so forth.
Gatto was a teacher in a tough school in New York City, Harlem, for twenty six years, but found that his attempts to inspire his students natural creativity was blocked by those he has called ‘The Management’, and this became such a burden for what he wanted to achieve with his students that he felt the need to resign, then he continued researching deeper into the question of why his enthusiasm for inspiring students, and their creative spirit, was suppressed by the very system supposedly set up for their education .Here are Gatto’s “Seven Lessons" learned from his experiences:

"These are the things you pay me to teach":
1. Confusion. 'Everything I teach is out of context. I teach the unrelating of everything.' (p. 2)
2. Class position. "That's the real lesson of any rigged competition like school. You come to know your place.' (P. 3)
3. Indifference. 'Indeed, the lesson of bells is that no work is worth finishing, so why care too deeply about anything?* (p. 6)
4. Emotional dependency. 'By stars and red checks, smiles and frowns, prizes, hon-ors, and disgraces, I teach kids to surrender their will to the predestined chain of command.' (p. 7)
3. Intellectual dependency. 'Of the millions of things of value to study, I decide what few we have time for, or actually it is decided by my faceless employers.... Curiosity has no important place in my work, only conformity* (p. 8). Gatto says this is 'the most important lesson, that we must wait for other people, better trained than ourselves, to make the meanings of our lives.' (p. 8)
6. Provisional self-esteem. 'The lesson of report cards, grades and tests is that children should not trust themselves or their parents but should rely on the evaluation of certified officials. People need to be told what they are worth.' (p. 11)
7. One can't hide. Surveillance is an ancient imperative, espoused by certain influ-ential thinkers (such as Plato, Augustine, Calvin, Bacon, and Hobbes). All these childless men ... discovered the same thing: children must be closely watched if you want to keep a society under tight central control.' (pp. 11-12) (Dumbing us down: the hidden curriculum of compulsory schooling)

Gatto discovered that the modern forced ‘educational’ system we all are familiar with today began in Prussia, in the early part of the 19th century, where reluctant families were threatened by the military, with bayonets at the ready, to send their children to State schools. The State owned the children, as was written in the legislation. “The Prussian mind, which carried the day, held a clear idea of what centralized schooling should deliver: 1) Obedient soldiers to the army;2 2) Obedient workers for mines, factories, and farms; 3) Well-subordinated civil servants, trained in their function; 4) Well-subordinated clerks for industry; 5) Citizens who thought alike on most issues; 6) National uniformity in thought, word, and deed.”
Prussian forced schooling was seen as a success by a host of countries whose leaders travelled there, even from as far away as Japan, to see how they could introduce this system themselves.
The Gestapo, and SS, were also modelled on the efficiency of the Prussian State Police.
Compulsory ‘education’ demands separating children from their mums, parents, and loved ones, and friends, and once rounded up in a Kafkaesque building, many children will suffer bullying, both from other students, and from the staff who, using various psychological techniques, train them to blindly obey authority, and not think for themselves. Millions of children are now drugged in schools, falsely ‘diagnosed’ with bogus labels such as “Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder” (‘ADHD’), and generally there is also massive psychiatric drugging of poor, disadvantaged, and foster care children, in the United States!
This so-called ‘education’ system is a meticulously designed compulsory training system, for young minds, with the specific purpose of suppressing the imagination and creativity, and the justification for this is so that the economy is assured of a constant supply of subservient productive ‘consumer’ robots who will not make too much trouble with their assigned slots in the capitalist society, nor with the inevitable consequential damage done to nature, ecosystems, other species, the web of life. The success of the conditioning is to make people actually blind to the consequence of their actions. They are trained not to question authority, and if so to direct their questioning energies towards the wrong sources rather than the root causes.
This Management, the planners, funders, makers and maintainers of this system, in order to justify this abuse, of millions of children and youths through the generations, counted on myths to support their belief they were doing right, and Darwinism features prominently.

Charles Darwin

In a book Charles Darwin wrote in 1871 called The Descent of Man, he claimed that a very few humans were evolving and the rest were at a dead end.
Darwin was an extremely rich man, and had close ties with the elite/’the management’, “The Darwin family wasn’t just a wealthy family, they were among the supreme fortunes on planet earth, so rather than thinking of Charles Darwin as a scholar speaking to other scholars , your talking about a man who was in the inner circle of the the British Throne who had fantastic wealth, Galton [the Father of Eugenics] also, and spoke to Dukes and Earls and heads of industry,” so it is clear who Darwin means are the ones ‘evolving’? For this rich set all of their myth was a ‘science’. Of course such hubris didn’t begin with Darwin, he was just part of a pattern of imposed ideas throughout history which perpetuate this ongoing myth.

Plato

Gatto’s calculates that the timeline for this elitist idea of a division between a small group of superior people and a vast ‘mass’ of inferior people, begins for western civilization through the influence of philosopher Plato, wherein his book The Republic he categorizes people set into groups and claims that once born into a certain group they cannot move from it. “This is based on what some refer to as the “founding myth” but which is in fact “the founding lie”, (pseudos). This is that God has introduced different metals into the natures of people. There are men of gold, of silver and of bronze and iron. The latter are the labourers, the people who do the dirty work, for even the “perfect” Guardians who have a “vision of the Good” need people to clean up after them and to cook their meals. Those with bronze are the craftsmen, and other professionals.” An idea obviously influenced by the more ancient Indian caste system.

In the 15th century, we have theologian John Calvin preaching the dogma of predestination which asserts that people are damned before they are born, thus, if so, it is hardly worthwhile to assume any authority could truly help such people, therefore he proposed “Universal Schooling” which was meant as a ‘purgatory’-like place where the damned people could police themselves “Calvin says clearly that the damned are many times larger in number than the saved. The ratio is about twenty to one. There are too many damned to overwhelm with force. So you have to cloud their minds and set them into meaningless competitions with one another in ways that will eat up that energy.” [My emphasis]

John Calvin

Another philosopher, much admired in American academia, Benedict Spinoza, in 1670 published a very influential book titled “Tractate Religico Politicu” in which he repeated the seemingly ‘perennial philosophy’ that there were a much higher proportion of irrational people who needed to be controlled by the rational smaller elite, and recommended that “an institutional school system should be set up as a ‘civil religion.’ It’s a term you find common in early colonial writing because everyone read Spinoza, all over the planet. He said we need a ‘civil religion’ for two reasons. One, to eliminate official religion, which he says is completely irrational and dangerous.

Benedict Spinoza

And two, to bind up the energies of these irrational twenty to one and to destroy their imagination. In all but words said the same thing as Calvin, but Spinoza said it flatly. We have to destroy the imagination because it’s only through the imagination that the maximum damage is unleashed. Otherwise people can struggle against the chains, maybe even cause local damage, but they can’t do much harm to the fundamental structure because they can’t think outside of the box.” [My emphasis]

Carrying on this oppressive-elitist legacy into more modern times are the richies Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller who brought the Prussian schooling system of ‘education’ to American shores, and meanwhile they were both funding and being involved with Eugenics.

John D. Rockefeller

So all bases are covered in the justifying of their system, and ‘their’—the groups who presume they are superior and we are inferior--- own ‘self-worth’, by mythology, philosophy, theology, and ‘science’. And the sacrifice of countless young naturally creative unique minds to benumbing servility and consumerism is for the ‘divine right’ of the State, and further fortifying this psychosomatic blitz on the soul is the ever present mass media.

In the documentary The Century of the Self , its shown clearly that a group of men can choose to secretly do things to our minds and bodies because they see themselves as superior and us, the ‘masses’, as inferior, and note how this part of the jigsaw puzzle fits ever so snugly with the rest.

Nephew of Sigmund Freud, and acclaimed Father of Public Relations, Edward Bernays, used his Uncle Siggy’s psychoanalytical techniques to secretly control masses of people. Believing that the ‘masses’ were irrational [that word again!] and needed secret guidance, Bernays was sought to covertly employ psychological techniques to induce people to buy products they didn’t need, hook women onto cigarettes, and make people accept warfare, etc., “"If we understand the mechanism and motives of the group mind, it is now possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without their knowing it," Bernays argued. He called this scientific technique of opinion molding the "engineering of consent."
Bernays' publication, Crystallizing Public Opinion, was Nazi Germany’s Reichsminister of Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels’ favourite book, and he put it to practical use!
“One of Bernays's favorite techniques for manipulating public opinion was the indirect use of "third party authorities" to plead for his clients' causes. "If you can influence the leaders, either with or without their conscious cooperation, you automatically influence the group which they sway," he said.” [My emphasis]

“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
Mental illness is in the eye of the controller,
Evil is in the eye of the victim.”

Connected with all these schemes of control over children, from Kindergarten through their ‘education, and carried on for us, as adults, via mass media and ‘politics’, lies the omnipresent myth of mental illness, and this myth has even infiltrated the ‘education’ system whereby children deemed not efficient enough for the demands of enforced indoctrination are stigmatized with fictitious ‘disorders’ such as ‘ADD/ADHD’ (The ADHD Fraud: How Psychiatry Makes Patients “Of Normal Children”, by Fred A. Baughman). There are no authentic scientific medical tests to support such ‘diagnoses’, but regardless, millions of children have been coerced to take the ‘medication’ for their supposed ‘condition’ nevertheless, as is the same for adults.
In this two part video, Dr John Breeding links the psychiatric establishment with the evil machinery of the Nazi regime : “the philosophy and practices of psychiatry underscored and undergirded the dynamics which went with the Nazi’s Final Solution”, and this was itself deeply associated with the philosophy, masquerading as science, of Eugenics, and the idea that the ‘superior’ people could be improved and the ‘inferior’ people weeded out.
As stated, all of these schemes are, of course, systems of control, and probably the oldest form of control over us, and consciousness in general, has been the war on entheogens which is first presented allegorically in the biblical Book of Genesis.

One of the best interpretations, I have read, of the biblical story of the Garden of Eden, is explored in John Lash’s essay titled, The Oldest Taboo in the World about the ancient patriarchal taboo of not allowing Adam and Eve access to the entheogenic fruit . Lash explains that this ‘taboo’ was not like the usual kind of taboo where the subject regarded as taboo is to be left alone, but is yet still known about. Rather, the taboo of Genesis is a taboo about a taboo. For the reader of the story is not told of the object of the taboo directly (though of course symbols, and other literary devices point to the real identity of the Forbidden Fruit) (J.M.Allegro), but uninitiated readers, and participants, are diverted from knowing this by being told the ‘taboo’ was disobedience to ‘God’—i.e., the patriarchal authority who have expropriated this far more ancient tale which was benevolent. So, we mustn’t even know what all the taboo is about is the essential point! And ever since we have been kicked out of Paradise so has the natural abundant world been under attack by the Management, or the elite groups who do ‘know’, the same groups we keep seeing through throughout this exploration spanning many generations, the same mindset who takes it upon itself to hide away its cunning manipulations from other people considered inferior, irrational, and in need of controlling.

Expulsion-Garden-of-Eden

There still is a war on entheogens! And like the Genesis tale all forms of propaganda has been made against entheogens albeit in a more ‘open’ way, though they mess with our imagination just the same of course. They for example reduce the sacredness of entheogenic experience using scientismic explanations—the new religion—as supposedly the ‘truth’ of what reality is.

Summary

Above, I chose to focus on new age conspiracy guru Davd Icke because he and his ‘reptiles’ have seeped into the modern imagination mixing with the reports of the ‘Greys’abductions creating a paranoia. An underlying folklore.
I could mention Alex Jones who has interviewed David Icke thus further mixing up his more ‘nuts and bolt’ style of conspiracy theory with Ickes similar ordinary-conspiracy world-world facts and figures, but lingering there in the background, like a big elephant in the room, implications that reality is illusion, and the elite cum reptilians are soulless holographic projections as is the sun, moon, even the entire universe, and there is no escape in death, no sir.

There is Dr Steven Greer, and David Wilcox too that come to mind. These two don’t usually talk about psychedelically-inspired ‘voices’, nor ‘ascended masters’, rather they both speak about ‘insiders’ , people in the know of what is really going on behind the scenes, telling them extraordinary information—which most, if not all, doesn’t come true, and we are never told who these insiders are, yet their gullible followers make excuses for their ‘mis-takes’ when things they said are going to happen because an insider told them so doesn’t happen etc, and will defend them till the death, blind to their bullshit, and buying their books, attending their talks, promoting them. Of course these ‘insiders’—whoever they are—are as provable as Icke’s trip experience, or Madam Blavatsky’s ‘Mahatmas’, ‘Masters of Wisdom’, ‘Ascended Masters’.

Our state of affairs is completely reminiscent of the Guru/followers, and cults, phenomenon of the late 1960s and 70s etc, when as the romantic notion of the purity of the gurus, and zen masters, and cults, etc., were questioned, and cult leaders began to get more and more exposed, the followers would still make out that their masters were beyond criticism. This is a very interesting thing to study, and could shed light on the more modern New Age conspiracy ‘gurus’ who are doing the same shtick, up on stage, and promising their starry-eyed followers what they want to hear and making piles of cash at the same time.

This is not to say I am some hard-boiled physicalist who will not believe in nonordinary events, but rather I am very critical when people, especially rich people, and well-known, money-making, speakers, preach negative beliefs, and/or keep manipulating peoples hopes. People can be easily manipulated when they are needy, and some of these characters smell the desperate desire to believe and like the grifters they are, grift.

So it is time to become more critical and wake up, but also, even more especially, to look with Imagination. I personally feel that the bodymind inspired with the creative inspiration of entheogens can see clear through false games, and that is a reason for entheogenic awareness being the controlling mindset’s greatest fear! Hence also the reason the patriarchal writers of the Garden of Eden tale went to so much trouble to try and demonize the imaginative symbolism, and metaphor, primally associated with sacred fruit of the Goddess.
Their ploy now is to reduce entheogenic experience—via mass media, propaganda, and scientism-- to a physicalist mechanical explanation of meaninglessness, and therefore an attempt to desacralize our relationship with sacred medicine, and ecstatic, and integrally intelligent, loving, participation with sacred nature.

So what do we do? Is our energy looking for an ‘evil other’ taking away a deeper source of energy we need? Just saying that the Illuminati, are one factionof a series of secret occult groups, and these include Jesuits, and Zionists, and Satanists etc, so what are you gonna do? They are supposed to belong to an elite pile of cash that is beyond the imaginings of most peoples, and are protected by weapons that are lethal, ‘non-lethal’, and secret and very dangerous. So what you gonna do?

Have energy needed to actually see what is wrong, take responsibility, and all the while re-gathering, and re-membering our freedom for living how we choose to live, and ecstatic sacred relationship with earth, community, and how we feel.
Instead of drowning in the non-ending rabbit hole of conspiracy theory revelation, is it possible to grasp the interconnecting significance of these ‘jig saw pieces’ presented here as being the real blockages to authentic creativity, and to engage energy to challenge and radically unblock?

Conspiracy theory;

‘Education’;

The myth of mental illness;

War on Entheogens.

In a recent video talk which included Ralph Metzner, he was recalling those early days in the 1960s when he and Tim Leary and others were experimenting with psychedelics, and he admitted that then they didn’t realize the extraordinarily ancient relationship humanity had with entheogens like he does now.
So we do, and with indigenous peoples can see what is being done to Mother Earth, and explore ways to help resolve this terrible crisis:

War on Entheogens, The Alcohol Industry, 'Education', and Boredom and Creativity

2010-01-10T09:29:00.001-08:00

The so-called war on drugs goes right to the heart of our problems. It is really war on entheogens, and creativity, and entheogens are --known anciently as--the fruit par excellence for inspiring creativity.

Sense of humour is also very much the herald and partner of creativity, as anyone who has ever taken a psychedelic should know----the first feelings felt is the most uncontrollable sense of humour, and creatively seeing through the masks of pomposity, social role playing, pretence, and the sheer JOY for this great mystery of life and death and regeneration~~which also is happening every moment.

To research the so-called war on drugs can never be superficial, because it includes other areas of inquiry, and our relationship with others, earth, the universe, and our spirituality.

For example, the war on drugs also includes war on empathogens, such as MDMA, popularly known as 'Ecstasy'.

The Rave culture originated in the 1980s, and the lauded drug of choice was 'Ecstasy', and being an empathogen inspired the early users a feeling of a deep sense of empathy, and intimacy, even with strangers who belonged to that culture, and importantly took away inhibitions regarding expression through dancing. Dancing was central to the Rave, and people would dance all night long, and often prefer water, rather than alcohol, as a means for rehydrating their sweating energized bodies.

The very powerful Alcohol Industry did not like the Rave culture and spent --in the UK--£800 MILLIONS on social engineering to seduce the youth, and the new youth coming up, away from Rave culture and back to the controlling culture's favoured drug and poison, ALCOHOL, which is a central nervous system depressant drug.

There were many ways they did this, but their tricks included having 'cool' comedians do adverts pushing booze, but with the new added twist of trippy visuals which the Rave generation and other kids could easily identify with; adding 'fruity' (more than likely created in a laboratory ) tastes to alcohol, designed to attract and satisfy younger taste buds.

The Alcohol Industry used familar scare tactics against their 'competition', MDMA, including funding very much mediarized reports, and programmes, about the so-called 'Ecstasy' death' of a young girl named Leah Betts.
However, it was later discovered that the real cause of her death was water intoxication from consuming too much water, more likely from misguided anxiety--due to propaganda that was in full sway at that time about the drug-- rather than necessity to drink water in such quantity that could cause harm.

The Alcohol-Pushers also got plenty of support from the Government who provided dramatically relaxed licensing laws, allowing more and more drinking places to spring up all over the cities, with 24 hour drinking, as well as cheaper booze, also available from supermarkets, and corner shops, and adverts pushing the stuff, and soap operas and other 'entertainments' programmes showing the characters drinking alcohol most of the time, hardly ever showing any negative effects of which alcohol is capable of causing.

Hey Presto!! We now have a large-scale binge drinking culture, with the young people, etc, which is not only causing diseases, early deaths, violence, degradation on the streets, and psychological problems, and so on, but the UK's National Health System is under threat because of its resources having to go on 'coping' with this serious, and escalating, drinking problem .

In many of the media reports, in knee-jerk reaction to this horrendous crisis, where they harp on about how making alcohol more expensive, and tightening licensing laws, will help this problem, we hear nothing about how all this mess was/is stage managed by the Alcohol Industry and the politicians!

The Governments very own Chief Drug Advisor, Professor David Nutt was recently sacked for claiming publically that MDMA, and LSD, were safer to take than drinking alcohol!

So what is going on?

In order to see deep into this problem we have to see how it is related throughout modern culture.

So-called 'Education', "a philosophically Platonic, Prussian-inspired school system that exists today", for example, is intentionally designed to reduce creativity in young people, and this dehumanization is meant, of course, to carry on throughout adulthood.
We are trained to be, and stay, childish. And this way the 'Management' can have better control of its 'consumers'.

The 'education' system trains children to feel the need for the authority of strangers telling them what to do, and rely on toys, and entertainments, to relieve bored lives. Boredom is inculcated into us via the 'education system', and the entertainment industry takes care of the rest. How often do we hear that today's generation has a 'short attention span'? Coincidence, or contrived?

From the 1980s they began stigmatizing young 'schoolchildren' with phony 'mental disorders like ADHD and drugging them, with... drugs to 'cure' it! So what does the 'war on drugs' mean if they do that? Obviously it is not those drugs they mean?
They seem quite at peace with those drugs, don't they?

Youth movements such as the Rave Culture, like the earlier Hippy generation, and so on, are legitimate, and inevitable, countercultures against soul-destroying cultures that devise oppressive 'education' set out to ruin peoples lives. That wages a war against sacred 'drugs', which really are sacred medicine, which with right education regarding their proper respectful use would be used to deeply heal the damage that has been done, and is being done, by destructive mindsets. To also explore reality in deeper ways so that we can learn how to relate to each other, other species, and planet earth, in deeper intelligent creative relationships.

The war is against creativity, and your creativity is unique. Noone can say that you are not creative, and that you just = the role they say you think you are. Which is inculcated in us through schooling, and the image-assault of mass media. THAT image of yourself as 'just this'--a social role, is the 'education system's' design, to take away spirit, soul, or deeper sense of being in relation with Mystery or creativity.
This doesn't mean you must give up experiencing entertainments, like an ascetic, but to look through what needs looking through. The essential point is to know noone can tell you what to do.

Boredom is polar-related to creativity, so I am not claiming we can be creative all the time, as it is more a dynamic process which is cyclic, breathing, but rather saying that we've been programmed like animals in a laboratory (school) to feel bored most of the time, and rely on cultural artifacts to help us not be, to salivate for over-stimulation, and escape space. In other words we have been made to be afraid of our own being.

For creativity there has to be space, and just look at how this culture loves to fill up space, both in the external world, such as building on 'space' which is thought to be use-less, unless it is 'real-estate' and making 'profit', but just the same internally, so that every second of the day is 'catered' for with work, worry about getting work, entertainments, mobile phones chitter chatter, and on and on and on ---the only space left usually is sleep, and for more people going to sleep is a problem unless drunk of course, 'or' drugged, or totally knackered from work.

I personally do not really recommend young people taking 'Ecstasy' every night, or even every week, so as to be able to feel they can gell with others, and dance freely, and feel good, because I feel the drug can become a crutch used that way, and there are negatives to that, self-abuse and so on.

As boredom is polar related to creativity, so is hell to heaven or 'ecstasy', so better not tempt fate? Ie, too much 'ecstasy', too much of a partying good thing can bring hell like too much sugar can make us sick.
To naturally experience ecstatic feelings of release we must be in connection with creative space which may reveal pains, difficult memories, relationship problems and so on--these dont go away regardless of the drug, whether it be alcohol, heroin, crack, or even 'Ecstasy', or psychedelics, if used habitually as an 'escape', and disrespected.

MDMA however, understood with deep respect, and used as such in a healing capacity, is amongst one of the most revolutionary healing drugs we have, along with the entheogens. Being an empathogen it helps remove psychological and physical blocks, encouraging a healing intimacy between people, and remembrances of trauma, and difficult memories, that can have lasting benevolent effects on relationships and health.

So, we see that so-called 'education' is completely connected with the war on entheogens, which is also war on consciousness and creativity.

This article, post, or whatever you want to call it cannot be solely intellectual--for to be intellectual/in the head is exactly what this 'education' wants us to be, and I dont wish to support that for myself or for others. Healing and creativity are organismic, and in relationship with nature, dynamic reality. Whole

In the 'education system', however, we here that "across the board internationally the subjects that are right at the bottom of the list in 'education', even below the arts, are Dance and Drama!"

What is really interesting looking at how 'dots connect', is that people experienced in their chosen fields, and vocations, and researchers, may not be aware of other 'dots' yet what can be clearly seen is this over-all pattern, in this case that deliberately designed killing of the creative spirit of children, in schools etc, is commensurate with the war on entheogens, and the pressures of the alcohol industry, the pharmaceutical industry, and help from governments to support all this.

What can we do to resolve this?

I would definately encourage people getting together and removing their children from the 'education system'! If that is too difficult, and if exploring about this and agreeing, to let the dissatisfied children caught up in this system know that you are there for them. There is nothing worse than not feeling that support, and believing the school system is a meant to be for your good, as was my experience in those years I was the victim in the system. The whole experience can be tragic, which is the point.

Creativity begins here if you allow space for it to be felt, for creativity needs space to flourish. Our very being is creative.

It is good to remember what was hated and punished in school: daydreaming, running in corridors, dancing, imitating the teachers (drama?)... in class etc, giggling ( I was famous for that, I am proud to confess), singing, asking questions, questioning authority...Some clues...

Also I encourage for myself and others to really understand the sacred nature of the entheogens and empathogens and take responsibility to really educate yourself and others about this, and to be willing to provide support, healing and spiritual, and not have to depend on capricious governments who willy nilly can one moment say it is 'alright' some specially appointed psychotherapists etc can do psychedelic 'studies' with some human 'subjects', and the next moment (suspense suspense) spin some irrational scare story and say "no" for another 30, 40, years or whatever; and the psychotherapeutic community, that if, and when, they get the 'say so' from authority that they can actually practise psychedelic psychotherapy with humans, that this would still be very expensive for many people who need psychedelics, the sacred, and the therapists might call the tune--not really encouraging the full sacred healing potential of psychedelics.

This is not to deny psychotherapists respect, but to realize that the whole point of the 'education' system as has been to make us cow tow to 'authority' without question. Time to stop with such childish thoughts already...and see what is happening...

Magical Christmas Day Walk

2009-12-25T14:07:00.000-08:00

I went for an early morning walk today on Christmas Day. We have had our first white Christmas and/or Solstice for many years.

Me and Cinderella went for a walk in a local park. It is all white snowcovered ground, and misty, and enchanted light and I feel this deep sense of magic as I enter the park because as I look into the enclosed field where there are usually horses, I just see all white and in its midst is a small spinney, or wood, which is like some mysterious wood from Narnia, or a picture from some wonderful fairytale book or film.

I am mesmerized, but Cinderella, looks at me looking and seems to telepathically tell me with her eyes to get a move on because she is cold and wants to get to her sniffs (she LOVES sniffing smells)...

So we then go through the fairy woods and it is very intimate and full of nature spirits, birds singing, and warning, and squirrels taking chances for fun.

As we come out of the enchanted wood into the more open scenery it is amazing, all white, misty, vast and noone in sight. It makes me start acting strange~~chanting and dancing like snow shaman, or warlock, and I even run in a circle round bemused Cindy who finds it difficult to walk in the crispy snow, which breaks surprising her walking rhythm.

I am just over awed at the scene I am moving within.

If you can imagine looking at a card with a picture of a seductive scene of winter, and enchanted woods/spinneys lost in the mists of time encapsulated within themselves as musty organic livingly spiritual earthy sphere auras, and you are actually moving in that scene, and can walk infinite white spaces and enter these strange islands of earth livings green browns....? That is how I am feeling as I explore this Mystery, my face alight with a deep real smiles of delight

Several times the mist-veiled sun appears through the Birch tree branches and lights up this unfamiliar scene in subtle ways that made it all...one of the most magical experiences of my life

Merry Christmas/Solstice ;)))

I want to Google, for example, 'Entheogens and NDEs' etc, (see title) and find inclusive explorations about how these supposedly different fields of inquiry inter~relate.
I think by synthesizing anomalies of human experience we may begin exploring deeper into the Mystery. 'Mystery' not as some static 'thing' but ongoing dancing of exploration, dynamic and alive...

I don't however disregard specialization, dedication to one field of inquiry. I am aware that I am reaping the fruits of such specialization or dedication when I review, for example, case histories of reincarnation, UFOs, and so on. People utterly devoted to their particular field. But there also really needs to be synthesis -"the combination of ideas into a complete whole"- too. A de-compart-mentali-zation between disciplines of research and exploration and feeling and experimentation.

I had a very powerful Out of the Body Experience (OBE) some years ago. I am not going to describe the whole experience, but try and communicate the sense of being 'out of the body'--what it feels like, as best I can. I am doing this, because when I have been reading sceptical arguments against the possibilities of NDEs, OBEs, etc etc, I sympathize, in a way, with people speaking from a place of not actually having had an experience I am about to describe.
Some sceptics, however, claim to have had a nonordinary experience and then later will question its validity. And so is the case with some psychedelic adventurers who will claim their trip was remarkable but after keep to the reductionist viewpoint that it was just a 'chemical ride', or 'distortion', 'delusion', and so on.
I often sense such an attitude to those who seem to cling, for dear life, to a mechanistic paradigm they find themselves in, and which--for many of them--they get funding from! They often are also not embracing of any synthesized approach, so as to see patterns that correlate into a dynamic whole, albeit they will usually use a wide brush to paint all non-ordinary experiences, and phenomena, as merely materialistic, and if not understood now, they assume their mechanistic brains will grasp it in the future when their measuring instruments are more advanced, and so on.

My OBE began after I had gone to sleep in bed. I got up to go to the toilet, and when I got there I couldn't urinate, or pee ;).
When I returned to my bedroom, I saw my sleeping body on the bed, and on either side of it were an adult male and female!

Now, when I originally got out of bed to go to the toilet, I remember the darkness being more tangible than usual. There were points of light, very similar to how darkness can be seen when observed on psychedelics; 'photons', many red, not bright but deep red. And there was a glidey feel to walking.
A strange feeling. A spongy sense where my feet met the ground..

Recently I saw a video made by a well-known author recalling his OBE, and he also gets up from bed to go to the toilet, and has trouble opening his bedroom door, then realizes why; looking close, his hand had gone through the door, he then looks back and sees his sleeping body in bed.

Now, interesting! For him his hand goes through his door. For me I opened my door! I never sleep with the bedroom door open, and 'I' did go to the toilet. Don't ask me to explain...

I felt the same as I do as a physical body but with more energy, and there was a sense of magic. Not as in the furniture morphing into strange shapes or anything, or scenes suddenly changing into another scene which often happens in 'ordinary' dreams. Things looked the same, but there was an air of anything could happen.

The male and female, who I saw on either side of my sleeping body, communicated to me telepathically. Later in the experience, I had contact with two mythical-looking beings, one of tthem intimately, who had been wearing masks of people close to me, and, when they took them off, underneath they looked like Satyrs!
The whole experience, I came to find years later, was also a powerful Divination which is still unfolding today!

At the end of the main drama of my OBE, I run to my bedroom, see my body still sleeping on my bed, and jump into my it, and then I merge body-length with my physical form, and as I do I see my OBE arm enter my physical arm, looking very pointillist, in comparison, finally merging with my sleeping arm.

There are other OBErs, and NDErs, who may report experiences involving feeling themselves feeling like orbs of light and energy with 360 degree awareness all around! Etc,...

People's experiences are unique and dynamic.
A great example of this is Mellen-Thomas Benedict's NDE which is rightly being called one of the most inspirational Near Death Experiences ever reported. I personally find this so!

The context within which Mellen was living before he 'died' was in a state of despair because of the disrespect he felt was being shown to nature by most people whom he considered a "cancer" of the Earth. He blames this worldview on the terminal cancer he contracted, and which became his 'killer', and he warns us about holding fast to similar negative worldviews.

Previously, to his NDE, Mellen had begun exploring different religions, and alternative healings, and had an openmind about the diversity of spiritual beliefs, and this attitude he took to his Near Death Experience.

Often NDErs report coming into contact with a loving intense, all encompassing light. Mellen was remarkable inquisitive with this light and his curiosity's found that the light was interactive, and telepathically informed him that people bring their own life experience to it. Christians will see Jesus, Buddhists, the Buddha, and so on, others may see relations, it really is how we interrelate with the Imaginal Realm, or Mystery, or whatever you choose to describe this experience.

He asked questions of the light and received deeply healing answers :

"Then the Light turned into the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen: a mandala of human souls on this planet. Now I came to this with my negative view of what was happening on the planet. So as I asked the Light to keep clarifying for me, I saw in this magnificent mandala how beautiful we all are in our essence, our core. We are the most beautiful creations.

The human soul, the human matrix that we all make together is absolutely fantastic, elegant, exotic, everything. I just cannot say enough about how it changed my opinion of human beings in that instant. I said, “Oh, God, I did not know how beautiful we are.” At any level, high or low, in whatever shape you are in, you are the most beautiful creation, you are.”

His vision dramatically, and deeply, resolved the negative assumption he had before about 'humanity' which he'd felt was cause of his disease. His cancer disappeared after his powerful NDE!

He also saw that all reality was alive, and that he, and everyone is immortal, but unlike may NDErs interpretations of their experiences as meaning the goal was to evolve away from reincarnation into physical bodies, Mellen understood that this process itself was sacred (which is the understanding of Goddess religion, symbolized by the Serpent that sloughs off its skin eternally to show new skin underneath). And when he asked the light what the "purpose" of all of this was, he was told there is no purpose.

I loved that answer, because it gells with the insights I remember enjoying many years back, reading Alan Watts, when he would compare life to a purposeless dance. You do not begin a dance with the 'purpose' to get to some 'end point'--the purpose is the dance itself which is purposeless; which is the meaning of the dance.

As soon as you demand a purpose you seek a goal, and then are caught in linear time. So it is not really I am meaning that we should just do what the hell we want and not give a damn, but rather have insight into the wisdom of purposelessness which is also a sense of nonlinear time, and ecstatic experiences of timelessness.

To explore NDEs, and how they relate to similar reported ways of naturally-occurring NDE-like states, and inducing of NDE-like states of consciousness, I suggest an exploration of what death may mean.

What do you feel when you hear the word 'death'? Just think before you move on reading ? What images do you get? What thoughts?

Did it connote a definite end of physical life as though it has nothing to do with 'life'? I am guessing that is what many people think. We usually get the image of physical death, and then....nothing? And there is a dread associated with the term because of fear of losing people we love, and our own death.

But can death also mean transition from one state of being to another?

When I think of life and death, I see, first of all, 'death' and 'life' as being two words. They are also nouns. So it is easy then to conceptualize these two terms as being static and non-related. We are schooled to think like this. To separate and fragment whole and dynamic reality into extremes and bits.

But I am rather understanding life and death to be utterly an interrelated nonlinear fractal process, where it is impossible to have 'one' without the 'other'. One implies other, as death implies life, and vice verse.

So transition isn't only from 'physical' to an 'after life', but also from an afterlife to here, and also in every moment; a moment 'dies' and is 'reborn' simultaneously! Eternity is not separate from time. What the warrior mindset, orthodox religious, and modern mechanistic outlook do is replace nonlinear sense of time with linear time, where an end is not a begining which is an end and so on. Rather they imagine an end that is FINAL.

Rather, time and eternity, are states of consciousness, and altered states of consciousness can bring you the same insights that NDEs can! However if you insist that time is mechanical and linear and that's it, then that is what you git!...unless.....

"The question is: Can we learn to manipulate brain-states to induce otherworldly experiences? Can we break down the perceptual barriers between this and the "next" world? The important thing to remember is that if there is an "afterworld", it must be very close, perhaps as close as our dreaming world is to our waking. Dying, in short, may best be conceptualized in terms of altered states of consciousness. If this is so, the solution to the mystery of death must lie somewhere in our own consciousness."

One of the most ancient ways of inducing altered states of consciousness are the sacred plants, fungi, potions, etc, that humankind has used in sacred rituals. With the experiences have come the descriptions of a death/rebirth experience, and insights such as the importance in life to "die before you die", and doing so you discover your eternal nature which expands your sense of being:

"Another metaphor from ancient mystery religion is spiritual death and rebirth. This terminology can be found in the New Testament. This was also a theme of the most ancient historical Middle Eastern religions, in Mesopotamia, in Egypt, and in Greece, where a number of dead and resurrected gods were worshiped. This includes Dionysius in Greece, Osiris in Egypt, and Attis the consort of Cybele in the Middle East. In Tibetan Buddhism this approach to spiritual practice is found in the Bardo Thodol. Enlightenment is understood by the Sufis as “dying before you die”. Shamanic visits to the Other World, the Bardo, or the Spirit World, which are found in many tribal cultures from around the world, are simply journeys of awakening by another name." (my emphasis)

One of my earliest psychedelic experiences gave me the insight that time was extremely amusing in that it didn't--at the time--mean anything. My fellow Trippers, and I, found this certainty so amusing we wrote the time on a wall in the room we were in and fell about laughing looking at it, we wrote "It is 20 to 2!"

The important thing to grasp, I think is that timelessness in its fullest sense does not demand we await Near Death Experience, or actual physical death, but we can experience timelessness 'here'.

Stanislav Grof, other consciousness researchers, and psychonauts, know from psychedelic experiencers, and personal entheogenic experience,and/or such non-drug techniques like Holotropic Breathing, that timelessness, the eternal, is always 'here':

Is 'Ordinary' Reality a 'Controlled' Psychedelic Experience?

2009-10-30T12:19:00.000-07:00

I put this post up at The Icarus Project, and also want to share it here:

Lately I have been very interested exploring about the phenomena of UFOs, and their 'occupants', and also trying to understand psychedelics relation to this subject.
Apparently, as far as I know, very few researchers --like Terrence McKenna-- have done this and the guy that has turned me on to my current phase of looking more into this is Ananda Bosman (checkout his video series at Youtube. His talk shown in a video -in 22 parts- has deeply inspired me. It is MINDBLOWINGLY interesting, and he has the most beautiful expressive voice, and way about him:

As Ananda points in in part 3 of his talk, it is very amusing how when you try and mention the subject of entheogens to many UFOlogists they think it is too far out, but also when you mention the subject of UFOs to many psychedelic researchers they too think that they are so far out already adding that 'high strangeness' is too much ;)... YET, I wholeheartedly agree with Ananda that is is VITAL to bring these two subjects together!

Funnily enough, I recently joined 'supposedly' radical forums about UFOs and the Paranormal, (and I even saw a thread featuring a McKenna video talk) the Paracast forums, started a thread about this--got a disinterested, then hostile response, and when I reacted (in a polite way) in disappointment, had the thread taken down! I have been on some fucked up forums but have never had a thread deleted before! But it just shows you the irony of this, amusingly illustrating Ananda's point.

Any way, in my research it takes you into looking into DMT. Apparently DMT is a chemical that some plants and fungi have, including sacred plants like Ayahuasca. In humans and animals DMT is said to be produced from the Pineal Gland, (though this is as yet still speculation) and in humans ( I am not sure about animals etc) DMT is activated in sleep, and NDEs, and most likely before actual physical death, and....

I found this really interesting article that is hypthesizing that 'reality' we take to be 'normal' and 'objective' may in fact be rather a controlled psychedelic experience!

"Medical Hypotheses
“Wallach's research on the effect of DMT on other endocrine compounds in the human body seemed to suggest that "...DMT and other endogenous hallucinogens mediate their neurological abilities by acting as neurotransmitters at a sub class of the trace amine receptors; a group of receptors found in the CNS where DMT and other hallucinogens have been shown to have activity."
Wallach proposes that in this way waking consciousness can be thought of as a controlled psychedelic experience. When the control of these normal systems of perception becomes loosened and their behavior no longer correlates with the external world, then altered states arise.
Translated, what this suggests is that consciousness, the waking state we take as a 'given' and that feeds us information about the physical world, is itself a kind of hallucination that is fed to us in a controlled way by the pineal gland. Changing the dosage and timing results in a completely different experience (the aliens, the tunnel of light), raising the question of, which experience is real?
Are either of these perceived realities really real? Are neither of them real? Is there more than one dimension of reality and if so, can we, like lamprey eels, perceive another dimension when the chemical lens is made available to us?
Are either of these perceived realities really real? Are neither of them real? Is there more than one dimension of reality and if so, can we, like lamprey eels, perceive another dimension when the chemical lens is made available to us?
I don't have any easy answers, and I do have a distaste for blind alleys when it comes to UFO stuff, since that's about all anything ever turns out to be--yet another blind alley. But I have to admit this line of research looks like it could come together in a very interesting way indeed, and that it definitely pushes us to the edge of some kind of envelope in terms of material reality versus psychological reality and arguments about consciousness and aliens. “

This is a very interesting hypothesis from a 'Madness' (as in Mad Pride, which is meaning that so-called 'mental illness' usually thought of as 'mad' may really be quite sane in an insane world) perspective especially, because it would explain how some people can be seen to have 'psychedelic experience' not acceptable to the 'controlled' psychedelic 'experiencees'/'normal' people. You know, the ones who believe war and people homless on the streets is the 'real world' one needs to errr ...trip with?

PLEASE share this amazing video!

" A Thousand Suns

A Thousand Suns tells the story of the Gamo Highlands of the African Rift Valley and the unique worldview held by the people of the region. This isolated area has remained remarkably intact both biologically and culturally. It is one of the most densely populated rural regions of Africa yet its people have been farming sustainably for 10,000 years. Shot in Ethiopia, New York and Kenya, the film explores the modern world's untenable sense of separation from and superiority over nature and how the interconnected worldview of the Gamo people is fundamental in achieving long-term sustainability, both in the region and beyond."

"I am sure 'A Thousand Suns' will spread the light of wisdom, will strengthen indigenous options and will show that it is biodiversity, not toxics which provides food security in Asia, Africa and the world." ~ Vendana Shiva

Crop Circles, Mystery, and Love

2009-10-16T13:57:00.000-07:00

This video is UNMISSABLE. It is a talk given by Colin Andrews and goes into great depth about the phenomenon known as 'Crop Circles'.

He shows how secret forces want to separate from the public's mind the phenomenon of'UFOs' from the phenomenon of 'Crop Circles', and also hide the fact that there is, and continues to be, deep official interest in the phenomena of both!

This utterly fascinating talk is so brimming with information, and integrity, that I really encourage everyone who finds it here to pay attention to what is being said and shown~~~

Brainstorming: The State We're In

2009-10-03T02:06:00.000-07:00

I have been talking with someone at the Shroomery , a site devoted to psychedelic knowledge and experience. etc. A member's thread asks the question: "Is Tripping Taken too Seriously?". I responded saying that psychedelic experience should be taken infinitely seriously.

When I mentioned the role of violent video games; hard core porn; abuse of drugs, and alcohol; psychiatric drugs, as causing so much violence in our societies, I was called a "fucking moron" to assume that only these times were more violent than times past, and he said that video games etc were not the cause of aggression and violence, so this inspired me to broaden my learning about the violent video game playing as one of the causes of aggression and violence.

There's things I don't know I would like to. For example, I'd like to know if they have lessons in schools, which analyze the dangers of watching and particpating in violent video games? Something tells me that is very not likely, and that is because there is so much money made from that industry!
The schools are part of this corrupt war-mongering corporate culture and thus will have pressure not to condemn what it holds dear, nor find authentic ways to resolve the real crises facing the young and people and animals and nature in general. But out of curiousity I would love to take a close look at the average school curriculum. See what is being 'programmed' currently.

I have been around a while. I can actually remember when music didn't contain swear words and offensive terms against women and gay people, and terms like "nigger" and promote guns, all forms of violence, gangsterism and materialism.

I can remember when there were not only no violent video games but no video tapes--at least for the general public. I remember clearly the excitement that came about when the new shiny TV video cassette recorders came to be released. Everyone wanted one. At last people could watch other stuff on the telly and tape shows. Later came the video game consoles.

Now we are here. Young kids playing...'MadWorld:

Parents horrified as most violent video game ever to launch on 'family friendly' Wii

"A new computer game tipped to be the most violent ever is being released exclusively on the so-called 'family friendly' Wii console. Nintendo will dramatically transform Wii's image with the release of ultra violent video game MadWorld which, 'revolves around the themes of brutality and exhilaration', according to its creators. Players in the 'hack and slash' game, which is due for a UK release in early 2009, can impale enemies on road signs, rip out hearts and execute them with weapons including chainsaws and daggers."

"MadWorld is a third person game where players control a character called Jack in a virtual world called Varrigan City which is under siege by a group of terrorists known as The Organizers.

The alternative world has been turned into a twisted game show called Death Watch where citizens must kill one another to survive - and win.

The action in MadWorld - developed by PlatinumGames and published by Sega exclusively for Nintendo - is entirely in black and white. The only other colour is red for all the blood.

Players use the Wii remote to control the violent on-screen actions as central character Jack executes his way through the game."

Have your mouths dropped open yet? Yes? If No, why not?

When I was a kid I wanted to get into what were then 'X films' which had age requirement of 16. These were 'Horror films' (or films which featured nudity) utterly tame as can be in comparison with that 'game' described above;

oh, and let's checkout the Top Ten Violent Video Games, shall we? Some examples from the list:

" Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas--"Player is a young man working with gangs to gain respect. His mission includes murder, theft, and destruction on every imaginable level. Player recovers his health by visiting prostitutes then recovers funds by beating them to death and taking their money. Player can wreak as much havoc as he likes without progressing through the game's storyline."

"Crime Life: Gang Wars--"Player is the leader of a ruthless street gang, spending time fighting, recruiting new gangsters, looting, and of course, more fighting. Player can roam the streets and fight or kill anyone in sight for no apparent reason."

"50 Cent: Bulletproof--"Game is loosely based on the gangster lifestyle of rapper Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson. Player engages in gangster shootouts and loots the bodies of victims to buy new 50 Cent recordings and music videos."

So, errrm. let me get this straight officer, teacher, judge, you mean the kids now don't just have to watch horror and depravity but can take part in it...? Can play it, as in a game.....? For fun.....?..........Can virtually DO it...........?!

(On our news today, a huge increase in dogs being brought into vetenary clinics with terrible injuries due to a massive increase in young people meeting in parks so as to fight their dogs with each other. They have dogs to suit the 'MTV' image of the 'hardest dog hardest man'. Sadism!)

A friend sent me this message when I told him what I was writing about on my blog. I love it so would like to post it here:

"Re: Re:how's it going

wow, ya, it's tough with kids and partying or video games.. So many friends have gone that way and they just don't talk to me much anymore. One refuses to go outside! I used to think I was too boring and that's why I couldn't snap them out of it but I think it turned out they're just so involved in the "drug" aspect of the games they can't feel without being totally overloaded by the screen. It's not even like normal drugs as them you can move around, even if just roll around on the floor hehe

I remember one kid when we were young who was worried about war and having to be in a war he told me once if he had to shoot someone life or death he wouldn't hesitate.. but that this other friend who wanted to join the military would just get shot in a situation like that, and that he should be the type of person to join the military not him. and he asked me "do you know why" and I said cause you desensitize your self to it. and he said ya... with a long pause... cause I desensitize my self to it.. He thought it was some amazing powerful thing of his inner power to be able to make that choice. But it's so little. he played lots of video games like the grand theft auto game..

This is where physical and mental do have a separation. Hate gives you physical power but compassion feeds the spirit to be strong which like you say is no separation from physical. What these kids don't realize is they're actually taking away their own power of choice. Like one of your vids talked about widening our vision around us to see the real options. It's like having fingers so solid you can't hold onto things! no feeling to make real connections.

Who would want to kill, no one does.. they just feel threatened.. if they could unlock them selves from these mind numbing violent games they could actually take an active roll in the world of change which is constant. Just being in nature and appreciating it is an active role.. They could effect positive change towards a balanced world. They could see all the little things around them that add up to the problems in the world..

Violence is very predictable.. only time it's not is when it's suppressed and when enacted that creates very predictable violence on the other side. it's just a crazy unproductive feedback loop..

..this is why biofeedback works very well for therapy both physical and mental. It's just like video games drug the mind, but biofeedback with your own body and intent of healing rather then violence is truly powerful. This is how I believe psychedelics probably work, as biofeedback. That's what I get from your blog posts=)

Anyways, sounds you've been good and busy.
Take care,
Josh"

The best explanation I have read up to now as to what is being done to young bodyminds jacked up to this stuff is here:

"Teaching Kids To Kill"

"This virus of violence is occurring worldwide, and the explanation for it has to be some new factor that is occurring in all of these countries (Grossman, 1999b). Like heart disease, there are many factors involved in the causation of violent crime, and we must never downplay any of them. But there is only one new variable that is present in each of these nations, bearing the same fruit in every case, and that is media violence being presented as “entertainment” for children."

"CBS President Leslie Moonves was asked if he thought the school massacre in Littleton, Colorado, had anything to do with the media. His answer was: "Anyone who thinks the media has nothing to do with it, is an idiot." (Reuters. 2000, March 19). That is what the networks are selling, and we do not have to buy it. An educated and informed society can and must find its way home from the dark and lonely place to which it has traveled." Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold both played violent video games: "Harris and Klebold enjoyed playing a game called Doom, which is licensed to the US military to train soldiers in lethal combat."

Th author of Teaching Kids to Kill, shows how the same psychological behavioural techniques used in the military are being used via violence in TV programming and film, and violent videos, such as:

Brutalization ( Whereby the child from very young is saturated in violent images, and at a time when they cannot tell the difference between fantasy and reality);

Classic Conditioning (Where children, youths, are trained to associate watching and taking part in violence as fun) " "After the Jonesboro shootings, one of the high school teachers told them that someone had shot a bunch of their little brothers, sisters, and cousins in the middle school. "They laughed,"she told me with dismay, "they laughed." We have raised a generation of barbarians who have learned to associate human death and suffering with pleasure"" (Grossman &DeGaetano, 1999).

In this respect I am reminded when I was at art school , and there was a so-called 'fashionable' film released then that was truly horrific called Man Bites Dog. The 'hip' thing, especially with the post modern 'ironic' art crowd pose was to laugh at the really sickeningly violent scenes. I went with two art-school friends to see it, and they dutifully laughed where they were supposed to. I was appalled, and didn't laugh, and this exposed the falseness and they didn't like it. I just 'didn't get it'.
The same was so for the film Reservoir Dogs, et al, which also was of that ilk!

Evil also comes with conformity. People are more prepared to laugh at horror and accept it than stand out from the crowd. I am guessing it would have been like that at such blood-letting events such as the infamous ancient Roman Games. Some people may have been really shocked, but would deny that to themselves so as to be seen to fit in with the crowd, becoming more and more sadistic as they forget their initial disgust!

Continuing, then, with the manipulation of young peoples minds comes, thirdly:

Operant Conditioning ( An example in the military is when they use human-shaped targets for shooting practice and have the solidiers trained constantly having to shoot at them when they appear. What this does is causes the soldiers to go into killing mode, in real life, if they see someone with a gun, or think they have a gun. Often anyone that suddenly appears, especially in paranoid situations will be in grave danger.)

So let me imagine, then, I have taken a psychedelic and am observing a youth playing his/her nasty video game. What do I see and feel?

I see them transfixed to the screen, and the frantic robotic hand movements manipulating their virtual reality. I see and feel a sadistic glint of power in their eyes and expression and body language as they immerse themselves in a sadistic and murderous and depraved virtual reality. I see this is some real heavy shit magic spell 'courtesy' of the major corps pushing this sadism. Teaching kids to kill directly says it how it is. I am very disturbed that this is happening!

Someone at the Shroomery claimed he loved video games, and said "how come then, if your right, more people aren't going out killing people?"

Well, violence is not just the extremities but is the soil from which they arise. The psyche or souls (interelated with all around), especially even more so of growing children, and youths, and their still forming brains, can be likened to soil, and the more we make it toxic with what is put into it or take out of it the more dead and toxic it becomes.

The practical thing is to make sure your child does not indulge in violent videos games, or even too much video gamery, and not allow them to cheat and play at their mates, or arcade, etc, but this means being strong, nonconformity, and showing discipline which is also part of love!

Mobile Fixation-'mind inter-face'

2009-09-25T07:46:00.000-07:00

At?

Why their precious mobiles of course!

Even in beautiful parks, on beautiful days you see girls all ages, mothers with kids, dogs, alone....older women, you see men with dogs, alone, children, looking down at mobile technological devices.

Sitting down on a bench, lying on the grass. Walking on pavements.

In the pouring rain (the classic was the other day. The rain was really coming down and their was a girl at a bus stop. She had a thin jacket on, no umbrella. In one hand she had a cigarette which she sheltered from the pouring rain with her fingers as she took drags, and the other she had her mobile which she was looking down at, and eventually put to her wet ear.

You see them at bus stops, waiting to cross the road. On BICYCLES! EVERYwhere! Totally fixated on their mobiles...

Everywhere I go now I see people looking down?

They also talk constantly into them too. Chitter chatter chitter chatter, looking down looking down chatter chitter ad nauseam

Would be cool they could read a book called Cracking the Cosmic Egg which says how constantly chattering to others, or in the head, ties you to 'consensual reality'. You have, in other...words, no space for seeing, feeling, touching things in other ways other than chitter chattering about your little world. Your little box of reality. No observing the wonder of the natural world. the language of other animals, of the birds, trees, the wind~~~

Would they care if you told them? Or would they say '...what?' as they had been rudely interupted from their beloved mobile fix?

I remember when I first had LSD trips and there were occasions I got to observe people walking about city streets, and in parks. Most of them looked very stiff. Not looking right or left, up or down or round. Like androids, and frantically going from a - b, in a rush to.........? Not looking and feeling this amazing world and sensing timeless time.

Now of course Mr techno got em good!

Tripping In Magical Wood Space

2009-09-05T03:36:00.000-07:00

How do you Mean?

We are born from/out of/in/of mother nature. So partaking of her sacred fruits and going spiritually deep is commensurate with going spiritually deep into nature.

Now, Quantum Mechanics (QM) discovered that when they 'look' into sub-microscopic nature, things get very weird. It is a world of "uncertainty" and "probability". A world where a 'particle' can be a 'particle' @ one 'moment' and/or a 'wave' depending on the consciousness/observation of the observer~~~on measurement.

But what some interpreters of this QM world interpret is the idealistic (and reductionist) understanding ~ in modern garb ~ that 'reality' doesn't exist/is illusion, thus denying what is right in front of their eyes, and felt and touched by their senses in the macroscoping world, nature. Where there is macro there will be micro. Can you have one without the other?

((Wow))) when you think~~~~ Hubble Telescope/universe~~the unimaginable vastness of the universe. The a~maze~ing galaxies, spirals, etc, and they look like 'dots/points/particles' from distances in the universe depending how far away the observer is, never mind the planets!

So~~~ you zoom out ..out...out and see a dot, and then zoom in and in, closer and you see galaxy. Zoom in, more more, you see Earth, closer~~~~the wonderful blue sphere. It is spinning, but it seems serenely still...? Then...closer closer through the clouds and to the land in a wood~~a magic wood, you are tripping ;) ~@~()~

You are surrounded by life~~sounds, the whole woods and air is full of aliveness. You observe the ground and see all kinds of life going on ever so little insects going about with the most delicate wings, and patterned designed bodies, and legs. Everywhere you look is life. And even the wood itself, and the rocks and stones and plants are full of patterning and are breathing and flowing ( Currently, science is only beginning to take consciousness seriously. Jeremy Narby says that we see things with the mind but 'we' don't know how~~~especially when the experience is psychedelic!
My nature is alive, breathing, flowing and so is nature (got a reminder then of this psychedelic therapy session I read about where the recipient suffering alcoholism, and self-destructive self-image, sees a rose all wilted and dead~looking, but later in session~when feeling healed and glowing~the rose looks to him alive and blooming)

Events seems to happen with deep meaning, rhythm and synchronicity.
Anyhow, I zoom even deeper and 'go' into the subatomic realms/layers and some 'thing' is and isn't, some things are and are not. 'Things' go backward in time, and happen before they do. There is no cause and effect. What happens 'here' happens ages away @ the same time!

I shut my eyes and I see all kinds of patterns flowing and exploding and as I keep looking at these patterns soon they metamorphosize in landscapes, animals, and complex structures. I feel my shape changing and I become an animal, a bird, a tree, another person, a group of people, Earth, the universe. I lose all sense of anchorage of who I 'am'~~~my sense of identity, 'ego'. My nature is nature, changing flowing expanding fractalling spiraling, in ecstasy.

~~@(~~)~Gradually the ecstatic climax wanes and I 'come to myself' and I look around and observe the magic wood and how light interweaves in dark toned shapes of trees , flowers, leaves, stones etc. A pregnant darklight. I feel like dancing for the sheer joy of it all by the gurgling brook of clear flowing water full of life ~~ water for all wildlife and I laugh, giggling in playful rhythm with the gurgling~~~~~A bird flies suddenly out of the shrub twittering and startles me ~~ ~~

I am reading about Luciano Pietronero : "Fractals allow Pietronero to paint a very different sort of picture - one in which the irregular distribution of matter that we see around us never evens out into a smooth structure, but repeats itself at ever grander scales. Fractals are familiar enough: we see them in the branching of trees, the curves of coastlines, lungs turbulence and clouds. No matter what scale you look at them, fractal patterns look the same. Think of broccoli: a tiny branch looks much the same as the whole vegetable. Zoom in or zoom out, the structure looks the same ~ exquisitely detailed, never smooth. fractals can be beautiful to look at, but when it comes to galaxies it may be a subversive kind of beauty."
"The most profound question in physics today is how to unify the really small with the really big ~~and when it comes to matter's scale, fractals may turn out to be a key ingredient. According to Laurant Nottale, the distribution of matter in the universe is fractal because space~time itself is fractal."

I see tiny flies dancing flying in sun beams just for the joy of it. A worm's head protrudes from the underneath of the most delicately veined skeletal leaf, and a snail clothed with spiral shaped shell moves minutely amongst the earthy~rich decay.
Fractal galaxies, coastlines, trees, clouds~~~and fractals when I shut my eyes journeying in in in in and hear all the rhythmic sounds of nature.

There's really only one thing that matters, and that is to have a relationship with nature in deep ways so that you don't see it just as an object.
In order not to see 'it' just as an object~as for example you would see someone as a sex object~is if you feel it (pardon the pun).
To treat a person as a sex~object, is just being self~ish
To see a tree just as a commodity is not feeling, observing, tree.
When we take psychedelics, the sacred fruit of the Goddess, the feelings~~~the feelings are ecstatic~~~
