CRAZYWISE: Rethinking Madness — A Documentary Film

This video introduction for a documentary titled CRAZYWISE Rethinking Madness is really exciting and important, and for anyone who follows my blogs will know,  I also am trying to bring the whole issue of psychedelics, spiritual experiences, and the mental illness myth, and madness, and sanity, etc., together so that we can explore a much larger dynamic than we are mind controlled by.

By the way, I am working on  a blog which I hope to publish soon.

Here's the video:

'September 11 --THE NEW PEARL HARBOUR'~~Must See!!

The 9/11 investigation is very important. The 9/11 event and investigation cannot be seen to be 'the past' and therefore the idea we must 'move on',  because the powers-that-shouldn't-be use 'what happened' on 9/11 as an excuse for their ongoing  violent onslaught on life: When 9/11 is Used as a Pretext for Drone Warfare: AE911Truth Speaks Out

As we know, as well as remote-controlling drones to kill people, they have used their 9/11 false flag lie as an excuse to invade other countries, murdering innocent men, women, and children, and all life, and passing laws which strip people if ever more rights and freedoms.

Meanwhile the mainstream media will not go near this subject of investigation into 9/11and challenging the inconsistencies and blatant lies of the official story unless it is insulting those who want answers, and  9/11 truth, as being "conspiracy theorists" and other derogatory name-calling like "nut jobs", "tin-foil hats", "truthers", "twoofers", etc., oblivious to the fact that such people include those who lost loved ones on 9/11, and days, months,  and lingering years after to diseases brought on by the toxic air caused by 9/11 destruction toxic dust.

This article goes into why it is that mainstream media avoids a proper investigation into 9/11 like the plague:

Pentagon Papers Whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg Says that the Government Has ORDERED the Media Not to Cover 9/11

I have been told by reporters that they will not report their own insights or contrary evaluations of the official 9/11 story, because to question the government story about 9/11 is to question the very foundations of our entire modern belief system regarding our government, our country, and our way of life. To be charged with questioning these foundations is far more serious than being labeled a disgruntled conspiracy nut or anti-government traitor, or even being sidelined or marginalized within an academic, government service, or literary career. To question the official 9/11 story is simply and fundamentally revolutionary.

In other words they choose to LIVE A LIE. Finding it acceptable for innocent people be fried alive, mass murdered,  and their bodies blown to bits, and people who risked their lives to help them die also and suffer from  terrible diseases and lingering deaths caused from poisoned air which the authorities also lied was safe to breathe. These people who stay silent and promote propaganda supporting official lies, and block any real questioning, are as guilty as the real perpetrators they defend.

The video below is one of the most powerful films I have ever seen to do with the 9/11 investigation. I very much encourage you to watch it, and share far and wide and ask the same of others:

September 11 -- The New Pearl Harbor (FULL)

MIND~CONTROL: becoming aware part 2

What the authorities really forbid is the subject's efforts of self-determination. What they fear most is a narrowing of the gap between ruler and ruled. How this gap is measured---whether in theological, economic, political, racist, sexual or psychiatric terms---is not especially important.
Revolt against authority, was, and remains to this day, the original sin, and the classic crime of the individual -The Manufacture of Madness: Comparative Study of the Inquisition and the Mental Health Movement, by Thomas Szasz

As John Allegro further revealed in his book The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross, the Fruit the authoritarian 'God' did not allow, the "Forbidden Fruit",  was really a mind-altering psychedelic fruit. Of course that is exactly what mind-controlling authoritarians do NOT want, your mind changing, and being able to see through the worldview they establish via mindoncontrol! Only they want the power to mould your mind and perception of reality and set it toward their agenda.

"But wait! ", some may say, who are familiar with the Luciferian philosophy which the cabal in power follow , "the Luciferians also call the God (who they name Adonai)of the Garden of Eden an evil authoritarian tyrant."
This is true, and their myth of the biblical creation myth can be summarized thus:

Luciferian Philosophy: summary

God, Adonai, creates the Garden of Eden as a kind of prison for his creatures, Adam and Eve, who, like will less  robots, must obey all he says, and not question his authority. And this includes not eating from the Tree upon grows the Fruit of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, the eating of which can make them as gods, "For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil".
The serpent in the tree according to this interpretation their interpretation  is Lucifer, and Adam and Eve's liberator.

 Luciferianism is really the worship of their (the cabal's) own intellect, technological prowess, and occult knowledge; apotheosis. The Law of Thelema which these people also abide by states, via their 'prophet of the new aeon', Aleister Crowley: "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law". This means to them they can do what the hell ever they want because they are 'gods', and "the philosophy also emphasizes the ritual practice of Magick.". Their 9/11 event was a mega magick ritual!

In line with the ancient solar mystery schools, they do no see the natural world as sacred, but more so a trap, and the Luciferians seek to recreate it in their image using technology. This is what their Trans-humanist agenda is all about.
So their understanding of knowledge, and also psychedelic inspiration, is not one of an understanding of the sacredness of planet Earth, nature, and the human body, and all other species, and our own natures, but they believe their predatory and mind-controlling willpower is evidence they are highly evolved, even unto their concept of themselves being gods.

Garden of the Goddess

It is very important to be aware that both supposedly inverse and conflicting interpretations of the Genesis 'creation myth'   make sure to denigrate nature. For the Luciferian interpretation the Garden of Eden, representing nature, is already a trap created by Adonai, whilst in the Christian interpretation, the Garden was made corrupt and ruled over by the Prince of Darkness, Satan, due to the willful disobedience of Adam and Eve against God.

Both belief systems are patriarchal and suppress Goddess mythology, meaning, and spirituality. So it seems that the same mindset is behind both belief systems, like they are behind the so-called 'choices' in the political world such as the 'Left' or the 'Right, or 'Communism' or 'Capitalism', etc.,.

 In Goddess mythology the Garden is the Great Mother. Her Trees of Life upon which fruit psychedelics are for the ingesting and celebration of Her mysteries, which do not divide spirit from nature, earth from heaven,  masculine from feminine, light from darkness, nor life from death. The spirituality is ecstatic immersion into these divine mysteries which inspire transcendence of the ego which divides:

“This was the pattern [ie of the takeover of Goddess peoples by the sun cults]: The sun hero who vanquished “evil” in the form of monster serpents or dragons was originally a moon hero…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””

The Great Cosmic Mother, Barbara Mor and Monica Sjoo, page 254

What the Luciferians do then is subvert the meaning of ecstatic inspiration to mean cold dry intellectual and occult knowing and magick which can then be used as a powerful tool over others who are too foolish to be aware what they are doing, and thus deserve their manipulation and oppression, because they are less evolved.


Below is  a video which is part of a longer intervew the late Aaron Russo gave telling how he became friendly with David Rockefeller who informed him that 9/11 was planned, and was the pretext to create a 'war on terror' which he laughingly said was an obviously unwinnable war which could therefore go on and on and on, and would allow them to invade Iraq and so forth, towards establishing their plan for a New World Order, and that their ultimate goal was to chip everybody, and have complete control over their money, and if they get in debt they can literally turn then chip off

Aaron Russo: "The ultimate goal that these people have in mind, is a goal to create a one world government run by the banking industry, run by the bankers. And they're doing it in sections; the European currency, the Euro, and the European Constitution, is one part of it. Now they're trying to do it in America with the North American Union, and they want to create a new currency called the Amero, right, and the whole agenda is to create a one world government where everyone has an RIFD chip implanted in them. All money is to be in those chips, there'll be no more cash, and this is given me straight from [Nick] Rockefeller who said this is what they want to accomplish. And all money will be in your chips, and so instead of having cash, anytime you have money in your chip, they can take whatever they want to take out whenever they want to. If they say you owe us this much money in taxes they just deduct it out of your chip digitally...total control. And, if your like me or you [to interviewer], you can't do anything and you protest what they're doing, they can just turn off your chip, and you have nothing, you can't buy  food, you can't do anything, it's total control of the people. [the chip is connected to a databse with all your personal history etc] Everything is in there, and so they want a one world government controlled by them, everyone being chipped, all your money in those chips, and they control the chips, and they control the people, and you become a slave, you become a serf to these people. That's their goal, that's their intention...Rockefeller told me eleven months before 9/11 happened there was going to be an event. never told me what the event was going to be, but there was going to be an event, and out of that event we would invade Afghanistan to run a pipeline from the Caspian sea, We were going to invade Iraq to take over the oilfields and establish a base in the Middle East, and make it all part of the new world order, and we would go after Chavez in Venezuela, and sure enough later 9/11 happened, and I remember how he was telling me how we were going to see soldiers looking in caves for people in Afghanistan, and Pakistan and all these places, and there's going to be this war on terror, which is no real enemy, and the whole thing is a giant hoax, you know, but it's a way for the government to take over the American people...and he was laughing, who are we fighting? I mean why do you think 9/11 happened, and then nothing happened since then? Do you think our security is so great here that these people who pulled off 9/11 can't knock down another plane? Come on, it's ridiculous. 9/11 was done by people in our own government, our own banking system, to perpetuate the fear of the American people and to subordinating themselves to anything the government wants them to do.That's what it's about, and to create this endless war on terror. And that was the first lie, and the next lie was to go into Iraq, you know, to get Saddam Hussein out with his weapons of mass destruction, you know, that was the next lie...An endless war on terror without any real enemy and so you can never define a winner...There's noone you can define to beat so it goes on for ever and ever, and so they can do what the hell ever they want. They scared the hell out of the American public. This whole war on terror is a fraud, it's a farce. It is very difficult to say it out loud because people are intimidated in saying it. You say it and they want to make you into a nutcase, but the truth has to come out and that's why I am doing this interview. The face of the matter happens to be that the whole war on terror is a fraud, it's a farce. There's a war going on in Iraq, because we invaded Iraq, and people over there are fighting, you know, but the war on terror, that's a joke! And until we discover what really happened on 9/11, and who was responsible for 9/11, because that's where the war on terror emanates from, that's where it comes from. It was 9/11 which allowed this war on terror to begin, and until we get to the bottom root of 9/11, the truth of 9/11, we'll never know about the war on terror[Talking about how come Nick Rockefeller came to him] Yes, I was definitely being recruited, but it was more subtle than that. Remember we were friends, and he would come to my house and lot and we would have dinner, and then we'd talk...I was asked if I was interested in joining the Council of Foreign Relations, you know, I would have to get a letter to join them, was I interested in that, and you know just stuff like that, leading you on, and I used to say to him I never really did that, because that isn't where I was coming from. As much as I like you Nick, your ways and my ways, we're on the opposite sides of the fence, you know, I don't believe in enslaving people [and he would respond with] "why do you care about them? Why do you care about those people? What difference does it make to you? Take care of your own life. Do the best you can for you and your family. What do the rest of the people mean, they don't mean anything to you. They're just serfs, they're just people".
 You know, it was just a lack of caring, you know, and that was just not how I was. Just sort of like cold, you know, and I used to say to him, what's the point of all this? You have all the money in the world you need, you have all the power you need, what's the point, what's the end goal? And he said the end goal was to get everybody chipped, to control the whole society. To have the bankers, the elite people...to control the world. And I said, do all the people in the Council of Foreign Relations believe what you do?  And he said "no, no, no, most of them believe they're doing the right thing. Many of them believe it's better off being socialistic. You know, we have to convince people that capitalism, that socialism is really capitalism."See America's becoming socialistic, it's a communist country today.
Well one of the things he told me was that...he was at the house one night, and he started laughing and he said, Aaron, what do you think women's liberation was about?" And I said, having pretty conventional thinking about it at that point, I said women having the right to work, having equal pay with men, just like they won the right to vote. And you know, he started to laugh and said "your an idiot, let me tell you what that was about. We the Rockefellers funded that. We funded women's lib. And we were the ones who got it all over the newspapers and television, the Rockefeller Foundation." And he said, "You want to know why? There were two primary reasons: and they were, one reason was, we couldn't tax half the population before women's lib, and the second reason was, now we get the kids in school at an early age. We can indoctrinate the kids how to think. So it breaks up the family. The kids start looking at the State as their family, at the school at the officials as their family, not as their parents teaching them. And so those are the two primary reasons for women's lib which I thought up to that point was a noble thing, you know. When I saw their intentions behind it, where they were coming from when they created it, I saw the evil behind what I saw as a noble adventure."

Now see this next  video where it is said how the youth can be seduced to get technology implanted their bodies via  tattoos (and also swallow technological pills) which will "piss off their parents" and therefore be 'cool' [que laughter]...

This following video includes the idea that by 2017 more and more people will be chipped for medical and consumer purposes...

...Google built the drones for Amazon...
Google, the NSA, DARPA, and our government are all in bed together, doing together, and it's this whole push towards advancing technology and [this includes] the Transhumanist agenda...the merging of man and machine. What is the purpose, what is the goal?...Immortality, that is the goal...for the select few. Those who could afford it. This dream is of course insane!

What am I, or you, going to do when we are faced with pressurized situation when we have the chip pushed on us along with all the hype and peer pressure. it will be on TV, the movies, the papers, the mags, billboards, on the cellphone, from family and friends---all badgering you that you just aint cool, or intelligent, or 'upgraded', or evolved,. if you don't get chipped, and/or don't get your child chipped, if you have one. What will you do?

I won't have a cellphone. And I have gotten all kinds of funny looks from people when it is assumed I just must have one, and I say I don't. Talk about techno facism! I have seen people, all ages, glued to those things, forever chattin shit in them, or texting whilst walking across busy roads, and in the most lovely places. In each others 'company'. I have seen people say they feel 'funny' unless they have their cellphone, and are just forever looking at them.

According to a video I recently saw, and am not sure how correct it is, but narrator asked if you had ever wondered why considering all the different mobile phones and designs why it is the numbers are all set  in the same pattern in rows, and when these numbers on each row are added up they give two digit numbers, and each of the three rows giving a two digit number, when added give the number 6, so we get 666.
Considering there are control freaks into the occult  in control of the world, could it be that the 'number of the Beast 666'  is invoked into the very number patterning and numerology of millions of hand held devices so many people, including children,  now seen as a necessity of life and is already drawing peoples attention more and more away from the living magical earth, and the technology is mesmerizing them into total addictive servitude and next step is when more advanced and miniaturized technology immerses itself into the flesh and/or swallowed?

Dr. Jose Delgado, a neurosurgeon and Yale professor, [7][8][9] received funding for brain electrode research on children and adults. In the 1950s, he developed a miniature electrode placed within an individual's cranium capable of receiving and transmitting electronic signals. Delgado was able to control the movements of his subjects by pushing buttons on a remote transmitter. He demonstrated by wiring a fully-grown bull. With the device in place, Delgado stepped into the ring with the bull. The animal charged towards the experimenter – and then suddenly stopped, just before it reached him. The powerful beast had been stopped with the simple action of pushing a button on a small box held in Delgado's hand. [10] MC 147, BB 88    http://www.wanttoknow.info/mindcontrol

These people are all about mind control, and they will want to use technology as they have used their other strategies of control which they continue to use.

What we must do is become aware, and say no to authority.

MIND~CONTROL: becoming aware ~~~

 What is mind~control?

How are we being mind~controlled?

What can we do about it if we know we are being mind~controlled?

 

  “The essence of mind control is that it encourages dependence and conformity, and discourages autonomy and individuality. . . [it seeks] to undermine an individual’s integrity in making his own decisions.”

I have been shocked and sadly surprised that when trying to engage other members of the psychedelic community, both leaders and their followers , into conversation about the occult and its extreme oppressive prevalence in this civilization, which includes  false flags like 9/11 etc, and its overall matrix of mindcontrols, I have been met with silence or hostility and even censorship. I have explained the latter experience at length in my preceding blog.

 Why this taboo? I mean the occult mind-manipulators are all about targeting our unconscious processes, and collective unconscious, and psychedelics are all about revealing to us the unconscious (what we may not have been aware of before), not all of 'it' of course, because what we are not aware of is infinite mystery, but we become more dynamically aware than 'usual', and as I will explore, the reasons many of us are not more aware is because of mindcontrol, the deliberate constriction of awareness by the mind~controlling culture. So why have I sensed a resistance when wanting to bring this to awareness? Mind~control?


First I want to make it clear where I am coming from when even asking such questions as these.  I am coming from a Goddess, earth-based, perspective whereby I understand the physical sensual body,  and ones nature, and other people, and all other species, and Earth, and the universe to be sacred. Reality is interrelated,  mind, spirit, soul, consciousness, unconsciousness, and the body, physical and matter are complemental. A dynamic living process.
 

Whereas the Christian and the New Ager may come to this subject with the bias that people and nature are 'fallen', and ruled by a demonic power/'Satan', or that reptilian aliens or other evil entities, have created the body and Earth and even the solar system as traps which contains an 'infinite spirit of love' which is made to keep reincarnating in physical bodies to serve an evil occult elite who are in hybrid with evil aliens ---  a simplified summary of the two camps' beliefs--- I rather see the insanity of these secret societies, and their mindmanipulating and destructive behaviour we are all faced with,  to be all about their limited and destructive thinking. Though I am aware these occultists in positions of power claim to 'channel' entities via magick -as did their "prophet of the New Aeon, Aleister Crowley", , whatever it is they contact seems to share their own reactionary beliefs!.

 In my life-experience, I  have been through periods when I have done destructive things because of thinking in a limited way, and when I look back I cringe at the ignore-ance/un-consciousness I had then. I had to learn that what I was doing was wrong, ignore~ant, which is becoming more aware. So it is with the insane individuals and groups of people who have been drilled with dualistic thinking by parents, and/or getting involved in cults, and secret societies etc., whereby they become totally lost in absurd ideas. Some may really believe in what they do, but an outsider who is more savvy can see that they are caught up in destructive egomaniacal thinking.

Extremely prevalent when discussing mind control is the question of consciousness:

What is meant by 'consciousness' and 'the unconscious' .

 Actually we do not know what consciousness is, if by 'know' is meaning 'scientifically'. Of course we know consciousness in the sense that we are all conscious now, and have experienced different 'states' of consciousness, but do please keep in mind/consciousness/awareness that science does not actually know what consciousness is !!!
 Some 'experts' even deny there is an 'unconscious' or even consciousness itself. This is really important to consider so that we don't get taken over by 'experts' who all vie to tell us what consciousness and unconsciousness 'is' or 'is not'. We must rather trust our awareness of how we learn about reality.

Can we not explore this deep subject of mindcontrol understanding we are conscious ourselves? So we do not need 'experts' to tell us how to be conscious? To trust others to tell us what consciousness is can also be a big  part of mindcontrol.

 Consciousness, I feel,  is a mystery. How, for example, can consciousness look at itself to measure itself? To de-fine, or measure is to limit.

Also science does not know what 'matter' is, so there is deep mystery too! I find this liberating and not uncomfortable.

 A painting by Monica Sjoo showing the entrance to Newgrange, a Minoan labyrinth surrounded by a snake, and an archaic Goddess in the style of Inanna or Astarte (common in ancient Babylon and Near East).  One walks the unicursal labyrinth, centering the mind and balancing the body through the balanced turns of the labyrinth; then is ready to enter the womb of rebirth symbolized at Newgrange; all while watched over by the Great Goddess of Birth/Death/and Rebirth.

 However, as we shall see, mindcontrol techniques still seem to be successful via the dividing of consciousness into a 'conscious' and an 'unconscious' and targeting the latter so as to influence the 'conscious' mind.

Edward Bernays and Uncle Freud

The 'discovery' of the unconscious is said to have began with the 'father of psychoanalysis', Sigmund Freud. And one of the first people to use subliminal advertising was the 'father of spin' ,  and nephew of Sigmund Freud, Edward Bernays. He used his Uncles psychoanalytical techniques  to secretly manipulate people minds.

A famous example of Bernays' subliminal mind-manipulations was,  when hired by the Tobacco Industry whose goal it was to get more women to accept smoking in public,  he arranged events and symbolism etc to instill in receptive women's minds,  a self-image, the phony and irrational idea that cigarettes are a 'torch of female liberation'. This he accomplished, along with help from Hollywood  films and TV, and this ploy has been very successful to this day. By his deliberate mind-manipulation the cigarette was made to represent, for women, a "torch of freedom"!
 For males, who who got hooked on Marlboro cigarettes, the inculcated image was of a well-endowed cowboy who was idealized to be an epitome of rugged individualism, a man who gotta do what a man gotta do.

 Layers and layers of mind~control

They are coming at us from all angles~~

1) Traditional religion . Traditional religions are based on the belief of a duality between good and evil. I see this belief as the roots of fear-based mindcontrol, because as soon as an authority conceptualizes an idea if an independent evil and independent good, and promise they can help save you from the former if you obey, and reward you with the latter for such conformity, they have you where they want you; clinging to their authority.

This is why the Christian hierarchy invented the 'Devil' and introduced this concept into their belief system. Then follows the threat of losing one's soul to the Devil/Satan and everlasting damnation in Hell, or the promise of being redeemed and claiming the reward of eternal Heaven.

2) Materialistic science (Scientism) We are made to believe that we are isolated units of consciousness, and that our consciousness is produced by the brain, so we are supposed to be alienated in a soft-robot body which exists in a mechanical, random, nonconscious meaningless environment. In the words of Rupert Sheldrake:

The scientific creed

Here are the ten core beliefs that most scientists take for granted.

1. Everything is essentially mechanical. Dogs, for example, are complex mechanisms, rather than living organisms with goals of their own. Even people are machines, “lumbering robots”, in Richard Dawkins’ vivid phrase, with brains that are like genetically programmed computers.
2. All matter is unconscious. It has no inner life or subjectivity or point of view. Even human consciousness is an illusion produced by the material activities of brains.
3. The total amount of matter and energy is always the same (with the exception of the Big Bang, when all the matter and energy of the universe suddenly appeared).
4. The laws of nature are fixed.  They are the same today as they were at the beginning, and they will stay the same forever.
5. Nature is purposeless, and evolution has no goal or direction.
6. All biological inheritance is material, carried in the genetic material, DNA, and in other material structures.
7. Minds are inside heads and are nothing but the activities of brains. When you look at a tree, the image of the tree you are seeing is not “out there”, where it seems to be, but inside your brain.
8. Memories are stored as material traces in brains and are wiped out at death.
9. Unexplained phenomena like telepathy are illusory.
10. Mechanistic medicine is the only kind that really works. [source]

 The  image of a 'hero' who attacks a dragon/serpent is the mythological subliminal message that the patriarchal mindset, which deifies 'reason', is conquering nature which it believes to be 'chaotic'. This concept is the mythic roots of scientism.

3) Enforced schooling is where their mindcontrol begins proper!

Most children have no choice but to attend the mind-manipulators schools of coercive left brain thinking/'rationality'. Not only does this institution force a dumbing down 'education' on millions of children, but when children do not conform exactly as demanded, the school authorities, supported by Big Pharma and Big Medicine, coerce parents to have their children put on drugs!

If the pupils/inmates have 'too much energy' or 'too little energy' and/or are 'distracted', there is an official labeling of these bogus disorders, stigmatizing abbreviated labels such as 'ADD' and 'ADHD'. In other words, they do not want any children being naturally creative and imaginative, energetic and expressing emotion, but rather little robots who eat 'facts' and 'memorize' them and copy them down in tests to get 'good grades' so they can fulfill a role of a good conformist citizen for the State, most likely destined to have to go on psychiatric medication because of feeling so disillusioned with life under this oppression one is not supposed to notice or say anything against or feel.

The process of 'learning' in 'education' is called "cramming", a gross assault on the psyche. As usual this mindset does to psychic space what it does to creative 'space' in nature, it cannot tolerate natural ecosystems, so when possible wants to cram its buildings, airports, and roads etc there to expand its concrete culture and make 'profit'. Same is so for the creative 'space' of a child's mind.

2) General mass media propaganda/PR. Only 6 companies own 90% of the American media whereas in 1983 the number was 50! So there is an "illusion of choice"  :

 We falsely think of our country as a democracy when it has evolved into a mediaocracy.Where a media which is supposed to check political abuse is part of the political abuse."
Danny Schechter (former CNN and ABC news producer)

 "These commercial entities now vie with the government for authority over our lives. They are not a healthy counterweight to government, they are as big as or bigger than government, and they work closely with government."
Mark Crispin Miller (Professor of Media Studies at New York University)

 "The most powerful special interests in Washington today is the media, because not only do they give money and lobby and do all the things that industries do in Washington, and companies do, but they of course control whether or not a politicians mug gets on the tube. Now that's power. That's the ultimate power in a political realm, is controlling perceptions." Charles Lewis (former "60 Minutes" Producer)

[quotes transcripted from from Youtube video titled  Orwell Rolls in his Grave (Full 3HR Documentary)]

3) Subliminal advertising. Commercial artists write and draw subliminal embeds into adverts, be they for general products like deoderants and TVs and alcohol, cigarettes etc, or celebrities, films, video games, and even politicans, and so on.
They will write 'hidden text', a common word being "SEX" and draw 'taboo images' and 'unnerving images' called "Hell Sell" by the ad industry all of which are targeted at your un~conscious. [From leaked ad training manual:

 " Since its inception in the early 1960s, the subliminal selling strategy for Kent cigarettes has been based on a variation of our top-secret  Hell-Sell theory. To visually promise the viewer salvation from death, and loss of one's very soul to the devil, is an emotional hook that we've cast over and over again, in varying forms for a variety of clients."[quoted from The Great Subliminal Message Deception - Full Documentary ] 

Subliminal programming is in moving pictures/videos/films also. These embeds are helped by the faster editing techniques which are often too quick for the conscious mind to 'notice' . A example of this I observed was a rap video where the rapper has 'fans' in the music video all dancing about, and one fan has a satanic occult symbol on Tshirt and at same time it is shown/flashed, another fan is posing by it in admiration. This happens fairly fast, but is targeted at the unconscious which takes all of this in and then its devised this information filters through to the conscious mind and this is the mind~control intention of the ones choreographing the scene. In this case, drawing the unsuspecting observers deeper into their Illuminati cult. They blatantly show these occult symbols and rituals overtly as well as subliminally implant their symbols.

4) Subliminal Messages/ Predictive programming .  This kind of subliminal message are prevalent in various formats, including the Simpsons cartoon series,and other cartoons, and films etc,  aired before the actual attacks on 9/11 took place,  subliminally messaging that this event was known about by those-in-the-know beforehand.

  Also when inserted into a film's narrative  are 'prediction' of events to come, like for example the 9/11 false flag attacks, but also terrible events such as The Sandy Hook massacre where the very name of the school is featured in the film, The Dark Knight Rises, which itself, its screening, was involved in another staged shooting at Aurora.
There are also whole plots of filmed dramas such as the TV episode called The Lone Gunman which are like auditions for the 9/11 event, and other bloody events which are staged as further mind~control. So all of this mind-controling matrix is extremely convoluted! You need a very flexible awareness to explore this strange subject, I would say.

The image on left is from the U.S.A.'s First World War propaganda campaign of 'Uncle Sam' "I Want You For the US Army". More so as an Illuminati sacrifice!

In the picture above taken in the infamous classroom occult satanic ritual.scene where W Bush is just supposedly being told of the second plane hitting the WTC tower,  notice the picture appearing in the conjunction between the two heads? The picture resembles a 'devil-like' looking head and face with two little green horns and pointy 'chin'.

In mainstream media there was a very conscious decision to publish  photographs and videos of what looked to be 'demonic' faces in the smoke of the World Trade Center towers. In this instance there was no reliance on hiding subliminal scary-face images and depending on the unconscious picking them up. There was concerted effort to mention these 'devil-faces' and associate them with evil 'terrorists' belonging to the "axis of evil" as reported by politicians and media to be responsible for this attack. Both consciously and unconsciously.


5) Occult symbolism and ritual in many pop videos and promotions how many 'stars' have we seen covering one eye for example? This signal  is symbolizing the 'all seeing eye' Illuminati symbol which can be seen on their Great Seal on the one dollar bill etc. Aleister Crowley called it the 'Eye of Satan'. ALL gangs have signs they show to each other to identify with each other, or warn other gangsters off. This is no difference with the Frreemasonic and Illuminati gestures, except most of these 'stars' are really just being used for the reward of fame and money. Illuminati puppets.

Although I am itemizing/numbering these mindcontrol strategies which make up the Illuminati matrix, they  should really of course be seen as an interrelated matrix that is dynamic and very toxic and therefore not for our good or nature's good. So for some to say we need these groups to wake us up out of our slumber, is like saying the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island needed the evil that was to invade their land and lives to wake them up? No, it is these predatory ruthless secret groups who choose evil, and then just willy nilly go about doing it, though they may pretend they are doing good. There is nothing in that to be proud of.

When you look at the beliefs that pervade a spectrum of the patriarchal mindset, including their occult, it is dualistic. There is much emphasis on a conflict between good and evil. The duality of 'good' and 'evil' is the very roots of mindcontrol, because they tell you what is evil and then promise you the good, and you believing them cling to their authority as they do evil to you and call it good and mindcontrol you to believe it is good! This is what George Orwell was meaning in his book 1984 with the Department of the Ministry of truth and its 'doubletalk/think'  "War is peace, ignorance is strength, freedom is slavery".



7) The war on psychedelics The so-called 'war on drugs' which very much includes war on psychedelics which is also a war on consciousness, or better a war on the mindbody. By using the term mindbody I am not giving preference to either consciousness or body, it is all a dynamic whole in relationship with nature and the universe. An all inclusive dynamic including mind, body, consciousness and unconscious and and others (humans and other species) and  nature, including the universe. I like organismconsciousnature whereby 'consciousness' is the dynamic of conscious and unconscious and also understanding nature is conscious.
So war against psychedelics is against consciousness and nature.

 The ones wanting control-over very much fear the power of psychedelics, and of old, since at least the rise of the patriarchal city-states, sought to keep access of psychedelics only for the secret societies and away from the slaves, as they still do to this day!

 As I hope I am showing, they depend on mind-control and psychedelics can, when used wisely, help us see through their toxic mind~games. So they of course try other strategies, by using their materialistic myth to suggest that insight gained from ecstatic experience be reduced to mere chemical reaction and 'hallucination'. Notice that after over forty years of prohibition they now reluctantly allow certain psychedelic studies to give psychedelics to humans but shroud the experience mostly in medicalized lingo. Any other kind of experience which threatens their corporate ecocidal matrix is still taboo and outlawed in this culture.

8) Mental illness myth. This central social~controlling myth which took over from the social~controlling traditional religious myth, depends on its believers accepting the materialistic 'scientific' belief that we are soft robots, and flukes of emergent consciousnesses who are 'living' in a dead mechanical environment which is random and meaningless, and our only purpose is to produce and consume because when we die that is it. If for any reason you find you cannot cope in this soulless  'reality' then, to this mind~set, will mean you have a "chemical imbalance" which needs psychiatric medication and/or talking therapies to help you cope with the 'reality'. The very reality driving you fukin mad in the first place and is contributing to the very destruction of the natural world!

Pay attention to form and              space

Please play along with me here. If you are not familiar with this, then it will really be big thing to find out without being told. Like a joke, if it gets explained it loses its very purpose. Please look carefully at all of this image including space in between and all around and see if you notice anything as well as the flowers. Once you become conscious/aware of it you cannot miss it. Commercial artists will often use negative space around/behind form because they count on us being unconscious of space whilst focusing on the form, or points in the form:

 

Leaked Ad training Manual showing planned subliminal embedded art

. The bottom two images are from printed adverts from the 1970s, and are from a leaked ad training manual . You will be able to see, especially if you zoom in close to the one furthest below, the meticulous care commercial artists will go to influence your unconscious mind by using subliminals that refer to sex, and also what they call "Hell Sell" or disturbing images that are intended to secretly invoke our fears of the unknown, suffering, pain, death, 'Hell'. Both sex and death are meant to hook you to the product as a means to both fulfill sexual desire and help save you from anxiety.

Transcript from the video ('ad training manual')

"Initiation into the psychological concepts and manipulative stratagems of the art course often comes as a shock to those naive individuals the computer "mispicked". 36% of all previous candidates dripped out in disgust within the first 3 days. Since there is no [underlined] refund we try to stress that certain squeamish types of people aren't suited for the psychological demands of this fast paced secretive business. Our main goal is to produce artists and idea personnel dedicated and obedient to the advertising necessities involved in regulating Americans production-consumption cycle.
Man lives in an environment of symbols, and it is extremely important to understand something about the symbol-making process because symbols are the raw material of human thought and all communication. Superficially we think that words are the only form of communication, because we live in such a highly verbal atmosphere. Yet in actuality, there is a far greater amount of nonverbal communication going on all the time through the use of other symbols than words.34:27 - "The woman's choker closely resembles a collar its submissive symbolism (in this context) is much the same ...she will be as obedient and docile as a dog is obeying the erotic desires of her master (the viewer). She is a sex slave...her index finger is extended and is pointing suggestively to someone the "ice-cubes"
Airbrushed into the ice-cubes are several erotic symbols. These symbols are designed to activate socially taboo thoughts and emotions in the viewer or potential consumer. We create desires that can only be satisfied by product consumption.
The symbols in the "ice-cubes" may seem invisible but hypnotic research has shown 95% subconscious "pickup". The subconscious can take in astonishing amount of visual information. This information filters its way up to consciousness by way of what is socially acceptable. The rest is to remain in the subconscious where it later emerges in the form of desires and wants that are satisfied only through acts of consumption.
The "ice-cubes" which her index finger point to, form an erect penis. These two cubes have been flesh colored and can be seen from a distance of several feet, once pointed out. Notice how the penis angle is correct for proper virile erection. Since a penis in a glass is considered taboo, this image would be immediately repressed. People only see what they expect to see.
The woman's lips are in close proximity to this erect, flesh-toned penis. This idea of fellatio is reinforced by the satyr blowing on a flute or phallic-shaped object. Oral sex is a commonly desired quest and fantasy of males of all ages. By retouching and airbrushing in this symbolic and sexual message we've elevated a mere glass of whiskey into a potent aphrodisiac.
Next to this erect penis is a red cherry. Red is a loud, hot and active color. On the right of this cheery is a happy fornicating rabbit. This rabbit is an apt symbol for love and sex. It's common knowledge that the logo for *Playboy* magazine is the promiscuous rabbit. Male boasting of sexual prowess often include emphasis on the partner's ability to "fuck like a rabbit".
Note that the ice-cube area surrounding the rabbit's engorged penis is a creamy white. The ice-cube area above the cherry is also a creamy white rather than a see-through clearness. In this ad's blatant sexual context, this creamy white color correlates with the creamy whiteness of sperm. Obviously ejaculation by fellatio will be successful, enhancing the virility appeal of this product.
Below the fornicating rabbit is a happy smiling human face to symbolize drink that tastes good and will make one happy. it also correlates with love for oral sex - Licking her lips in anticipation.
Below the smiling face are several other penises in varying stages of sexual excitement. To the left of these aroused penises are several female shapes with large breasts. The large breasts help activate instinctual maternal sucking impulses associated with the pleasure principle. The female shapes visually stimulate any repressed sexual desires in the viewer. "

It might be wondered that when erotic images, and words suggesting sex etc., are so prevalent now everywhere, why would it even matter that commercial artists 'and' sorcerers still plant subliminal embeds , and occult symbols etc. The answer is that many conscious minds are mind~controled to resist such stimuli whilst the unconscious mind does not resist but notices everything,  and that is why they target this deeper aspect of us which it must be understood is also dissociated from us through their other mind~control strategies like 'education' which suppresses our natural development of creative imagination, as well as their war on psychedelics (which is a war on consciousness. and imagination and ecstasy and spiritual awareness and interrelationship with nature) which is a far older mindcontrol device than even enforced schooling, as Dan Russell explores in his book Shamanism and the Drug Propaganda.

Review of The Spiritual Gift of Madness: The Failure of Psychiatry and the Rise of the Mad Pride Movement, by Seth Farber. (including psychedelics, etc)

Seth Farber's book, The Spiritual Gift of Madness: The Failure of Psychiatry and the Rise of the Mad Pride Movement, is a very powerful and important book to read, and incidentally is the first book I have been acknowledged in. This was because I've had many email conversations with Seth Farber, which continue,, including on Facebook, and we have shared ideas, and argued over ideas too.

I have talked with him about my long interest in  psychedelics and how I see their deep connection to the whole story of the mental illness myth, and hoped he may include this crucially important issue in his book, but he said the subject he was exploring was already controversial enough without inviting more controversy. He does however mention R.D.Laing, who understood psychedelics to be psychotherapeutically healing, and also briefly writes about the psychedelic counterculture of the 1960s.

 I am very much respectful of Seth Farber's passion regarding his in-depth critique of the mental health movement, and his writing about such radical characters as R.D.Laing etc, and love how he brings it all together for people to be encouraged to see through the myth of mental illness, as well as his direct style, but as to his ideas of spirituality and its meaning for madness and the world problems, we radically differ, and it is that difference I will want explore in this post.

The Biopsychiatric Model

The books essential power, for me, is how Farber reviews the modern roots of the fascistic biopsychiatric /big phama model. This model came into its own in the 1980s coinciding with the rise of neoliberalism. [Unraveling the Biopsychiatric Knot: the Future History of the Radical Mental Health Movement]

In Farber's former career as a family psychotherapist, where family therapy in the 1960s and 1970s included all family members exploring their own roles as  potentially contributing  to an oppressive climate which could cause someone 'sensitive' distress, this understanding deteriorated and was replaced with a  biopsychiatric implication for them to scapegoat the 'mentally ill' member, and making sure they took their medication.

Sanctuaries

 

The 1970s is  the same decade where there existed sanctuaries , such as I-Ward, Soteria House, and Diabasis, (founded by John Weir Perry ),  provided for people going through extreme states of experience, diagnosed by the psychiatric establishment as "psychosis" and "schizophrenia" , and "manic-depression/bipolar" and combinations.

Sanctuary was where they could find an alternative place of caring and support and love, very unlike the usual psychiatric rigmarole of being locked up,  having all their  human rights removed, not listened to, disrespected, and drugged, which suppressed emotions and visionary experiences, and therefore the potential to go through powerful natural healing processes .

 Even though all of these amazing places of sanctuary were successful in helping people come through extreme states of experience with no medical treatment, or at the most a minimum of drugs, the State and its social-controlling biospsychiatric/big pharma industry monolith had their fundings cut which closed them down!

The Mindfreedom Hunger Strike

Farber devotes a chapter to the - vitally important-to-know-about!!!  - exposé by psychiatric survivors from Mindfreedom,  who went on a hungerstrike to directly challenge the psychiatric establishment (APA)'s biopsychiatric model,  aand for them to provide actual medical evidence which proves 'mental illness' is caused by biochemical disease.

  Helping them to analyze APA's evidence were a panel of doctors who are also well-informed critics of the biopsychiatric model. It turns out however that the APA had no medical evidence to prove their case, but only words/language as a device to hide this fact.
When the APA were further challenged on this lack of evidence, they ceased any further conversation  and instead put out a press release promoting  more propaganda and pseudo medical science to support their biopsychiatric model.

Being Creatively Maladjusted and proud to be mad

In his book, Farber interviews several people all who were diagnosed with various 'mental illnesses', such as 'psychosis', ''schizophrenia', 'bipolar' and combinations,  diagnosed by  psychiatrists who informed them with great authority that they had real biochemical diseases that would need lifelong medication, and yet they all--bar one (who for reason Seth critiques, still sways in the favour of drugs, yet however has very radical views about the biopsychiatric model) - see through the myth and now are drug free and feeling good, and "creatively maladjusted". This descriptor for what it means to embrace madness is used a lot in Farber's book, and means that our not being able to sope in an insane world for whatever reason is not biochemical illness. It is as much mental illness as it was for those in the old Soviet Union diagnosed as such because they would not accept the Communist State

The saving of our world from pending doom will come, not through the complacent adjustment of the conforming majority, but through the creative maladjustment of a nonconforming minority. [Martin Luther King]

R.D.Laing  said it this way:

The condition of alienation, of being asleep, of being unconscious, of being out of one's mind, is the condition of the normal man. Society highly values its normal man. It educates children to lose themselves and become absurd, and thus to be normal. Normal man has killed perhaps 100, 000, 000 of their fellow normal men in the last 50 years. [The Politics of Experience (1967)]

To be creatively maladjusted is to be proud to be mad. Madness meaning nonconformity to a world that grows more and more insane. To see or mention this insanity is 'dangerous', because this oppressive fascism --which some people (the 'normal ones') may not even be aware of--demands you be content with it, accept it as the "real world",  and not question its authority. If you do you just may get militarized police on your case, beating, tasering, microwaving, spraying you, and/or be diagnosed mentally ill; having a biochemical illness which needs the System's chemicals to restore a "chemical imbalance". Their myth of mental illness lets them off! That is the point.  It is a blatant social controlling strategy, but believed by many because it has become , with so much authority,  massively entrenched in our culture, and even all over the globe now, and spreads like a cancer. It is even targeting more and more children, infants and babies. Better not cry to much as a baby otherwise the shrinks may call you "bipolar" and drug you! But first the loving parents have to be convinced this is true.

 I did cry a lot as a baby,  my mum tells me, so in such an insane time, I could have been in danger of such ignorance, and drugged with toxic chemicals before I could walk or talk.

Mad Pride  

 "It was Laing , more than any other figure, whose writings provided a basis for the mad to affirm their madness and assert it as a spiritual gift and to question the sanity of normal society", and Seth sees Laing's book, The Politics of Experience as "a basis for Mad Pride". 

Being proud to be mad, is understanding that your sadness, shyness, and fear, and visions, and energy, and other emotions, and uniqueness, etc, are not biochemical illnesses, but are our unique natures. In regards to distress,  human nature in response to problems of living.  And in extreme states  called--by this biopsychiatric model--"psychosis", "schizophrenia", "bi-polar" and so on---that these are states which are natural , in continuum with usual states of consciousness, and if supported within a community of empathy, love, understanding, care and support, encourages extraordinarily beneficial healing.

 These deep experiences also help us see through the insanity of what is happening in our community, and  the world ,which is vital for one and all, because there is a need for people to wake up and see what is actually/directly happening! Most 'normal' people who are so-called 'adjusted' to society are blitzed with all forms of propaganda, and other psychological techniques from patriarchal mythology, and occultist sorcery,  which is intended to make them not see and feel directly what is going on. That is the point of it, and what it is used for.
When these extreme states of experience are feared,  suppressed, and seen as chronic illness, and making people, so deemed defective, addicted lifelong chronic patients of toxic, debilitating, and suppressant drugs , the only people who benefit are the ones making financial profit from this soul-destroying, community-destroying and ecological-destroying evil, the shrinks and especially the  pharmaceutical industry who are in service to the corporate State.

Seeing Deeper and rounder

Part of a comment I read and liked:
..."the Earth is clearly, obviously, flat. Except it isn't. To understand the Earth is round, you have to take wider view. The same is true of human culture."

 The imposition of 'history' as told by the control-freaks keeps our minds in a linear mode. 'Progress' is the be all and end all as ecosystems which are part of real organic cyclic time are destroyed. A wider view is a deeper view. Psychedelic experience gives this view, and you are suddenly not on the mechanical conveyor belt of linear time any more, but directly aware of the eternal which is spiral, recycling.

 This is why  understanding how the  psychedelics story is so intimately connected with the mental illness myth story is an important part of the puzzle into seeing how the control-freaks  create a war on consciousness. 

War on psychedelics and consciousness

 

Both the UN prohibition against psychedelics, even for therapeutic use, and the rise of the biopsychiatric/big pharma model, came about in approximately the same era, the 1970s and '80s.

Before those eras , in the 1950s and early '60s, psychedelics, especially LSD, were being seen as a tool to understand "schizophrenia", and were termed, by the shrinks,  psychotomimetic.

It is very important to be aware  then, that the psychiatrists who were thinking psychedelics/"psychotomimetics" could help them learn about 'schizophrenia' already presumed that 'schizophrenia' was a biochemical illness!

The new State religion, the Biopsychiatric/Big Pharma Model, would use this un-proven, and later abandoned, psychiatric theory of psychedelic experience mimicking 'psychosis',  to push their fear-based  propaganda into the public imagination, that taking psychedelics would make you go crazy! This acted as further propaganda as gatekeeper to stop people exploring psychedelics (and also those who were exploring psychedelics from understanding their sacred and healing potential) and consciousnessm and having the potential inspiration to see the insanity of the oppressive culture! 

When we do the research, and find out for ourselves that there is no medical science whatsoever to support the theory that various psychological distress (which of course can include psychosomatic distress. For example. blushing is psychosomatic but not a biochemical illness) , and extreme states, are caused by biochemical disease, then we can  get a deeper understanding of the relationship between naturally occurring extreme states of consciousness, considered to be 'mental illness',  and psychedelic experience, and also get a deeper understanding why the culture wants both fields of experience--and knowledge of-- suppressed, and feared.

Put simply, the insane culture-enforcers do not want us being aware of its insanity, and how it exploits us, and how its oppression causes dis-ease with its fascistic myths and demands, internally  and externally. So it is far easier for the State to blame its victims--us-- for being "ill" when rather for quite natural reasons we are unhappy and distressed in varying degrees, and also may see things differently, and want to shout out about what is wrong with this extremely  brutal unloving model of 'reality' forced upon us.

Messianic idealism

In the book, The Spiritual Gift of Madness, Farber calls madness, which can involve mythical visions, and symbolic experience death and rebirth, a "Messianic" force in mad people which ,if understood, supported and allowed can help to dramatically change our world.

His ultimate messiah was Sri Aurobindo who believed that a time will come when a "super divine spirit" will descend and spiritually change the world, including humans, all species, and the 'laws' of nature, from  'bad habitual ways', and will conquer death (also seen as a bad habit), and we shall be made 'immortal'; and Farber relates how Sri Aurobindo's 'prophesy' is cognate with the Christian belief that this will also come to pass when the so-called Second Coming finally arrives.

For me, what Farber believes, influenced by Sri Aurobindo, is also insane thinking, which makes no logical, or natural sense, whatsoever,  and I really feel its utter absurdity can undermine all of his  great in-depth critique of the mental illness myth!

 This is a similar problem I have met before in a different context which I have expored in past blogs. For example, discovering that some of the greatest critics of the mental illness movement would at the same time accept the Scientology cult as their ally, this also disturbed me, and I was sick of being accused of being a Scientologist when I had discussions criticizing biopsychiatry. I was therefore very relieved to contact and speak with Robert Whitaker, author of many great books exposing the mental illness myth, and found he also felt like me, and was very encouraging. Robert Whitaker provides an excellent informative and inspiring website called Mad In America.

If  we are going to question the the mental illness myth, this must definitely  not stop us questioning other myths that don't make sense, for whatever reason, also. Question everything you feel a need to question. Questioning itself is a dynamic which authoritarianism seldom likes because it tends toward static belief systems of a dualistic nature.

A debate with Seth Farber

In my recent debate with Seth Farber about this great difference between our 'spiritual' views on his Facebook page , which originally began me linking him to a recent  interview Charles Shaw gave titled, A Revolution in Consciousness, Farber continues to promote his idealistic vision, also using Rupert Sheldrake's  theories of 'morphic resonance', and of how nature's laws are "habits",  to argue this means they can  potentially change and help bring planet Earth and us 'immortality':

"If you are dying – you are unconsciously contributing to the death of everyone around you. You are triggering something called ‘Morphic resonance’ which is a term coined by Rupert Sheldrake in his 1981 book – A New Science of Life." [Seth Farber quote from above mentioned FB page)

So now we must feel guilty dying, not only living? JUST what we need, more guilt!
All I can say to that is it is a good thing nature has the 'habit' of putting the anus in the right place for all species! I won't say anymore.

His views regarding this are typically patriarchal and New Age. When you survey all the patriarchal myths you see they all, one way or another, blame Mother Nature. The patriarchal 'vision' and thinking always associates nature with the 'feminine' and assumes itself superiority as the 'masculine spirit or consciousness':

Dualism in solar-patriarchal thinking

In mythology one of  the roots of this patriarchal hatred and fear of Nature is recorded in the epic Babylonian mythic epic, the Enuma Elish. In this story, the hero warrior-god, Marduk, attacks and murders the Great Serpent Goddess of Chaos, Tiamat, and from her corpse fashions his City State which for his ego means the whole world and universe. However, because "Chaos" cannot really be killed "he" must continually kill 'her', all that his ego fears as 'other':

When Keller discusses the implications of the Enuma Elish for women, selfhood, and the body, she claims that this text expresses a phobia of the mother that is turned into matricidal aggression. This ultimately results in the almost universal association of destruction preceding creation.58 Referring to Paul Ricoeur, Keller notes that through the Enuma Elish a cycle of myths that require the continual vanquishing of the enemy is born.59 This is a theology of war in which the primordial enemy is a woman and her destruction does not accidentally coincide with the onset of patriarchy.60 This suggests to Keller that the destruction of Tiamat represents the destruction of respect for women and the body as well as the usurpation of a tradition based in immanence by one which upholds transcendence as a model for divinity. Hence, every self that has emerged through the paradigm we are criticizing "posits the Other as an object, an opponent, in order to become itself; the transformation of women and other aliens into monsters illustrates all too well this process of oppositional transcendence. [Chapter 3: The Feminist Critique of the Separated Self , quoting Catherine Keller's ideas]

In Old Iranian mythology, Zoroastrianism, there is the belief in the duality between 'good' and 'evil', and
that if one 'purifies' themselves they belong to the good , Ahura Mazda (Illuminating Wisdom). They believe there will come a time when all evil, represented by Angra Mainyu (Destructive Spirit),  will be destroyed and the physical body, and nature, and all nature will become "pure" again, an event called Frashokereti.

 The Mystery schools, of which the first includes the Orphic Mysteries, and later Gnosticism, etc,  believed the physical body was a trap of the "divine spirit" which sought escape from the body and nature, and desired a return to its 'spiritual home' beyond the seven planets which, in various Gnostic belief, were gatekeepered by evil supernatural 'jail warden' entities known as the Archons.

 So, for the Solar Mysteries (which favoured light over darkness), "purification" either completed in this life, or if needed via many lifetimes, would eventually get you the reward of release from the physical body, and/or of being born from mother's womb,  and thus from Mother Nature.

 Plato was influenced by his initiation into the Eleusinian  Mysteries, ""the ultimate design of the Mysteries … was to lead us back to the principles from which we descended, … a perfect enjoyment of intellectual [spiritual] good." and hence we get the inevitable dualism in his philosophy known as platonic dualism.
Plato viewed nature as inferior to his intellectually-realized  'Realm of Forms' or Ideas, because of the nature of change experienced in the former, as opposed to the image he had of the unchanging (static) nature he assumed of his abstracted thinking.

In the monotheistic Abrahamic religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam these all were influenced by earlier patriarchal mythologies and  solar-esoteric Mystery cults. In the western world's mythology of Christianity, as Farber also relates, there is a belief that nature is 'fallen', and it was mythical character, Eve, who brought death into 'God's' immortal Garden of Eden; and in the same mythology (which is insisted to be an historic religion) there is the promise of a 'Second Coming' following which, dead bodies will be resurrected, and they and all of nature shall be made spiritually pure and immortal.

In the ancient Greek Polytheistic Olympian mythology, it denounces more ancient gods who had animal and plant attributes which were deeply connected with mind-altering vegetation, and reified pumped-up superhuman 'immortal' gods on  Mount Olympus, distant and aloof from us mere 'mortals'.

 In other words, in typical patriarchal conceptual myth-making  fashion (as social control) they dissect and divide what in reality  are dynamic  wholes such as both 'mortality' and 'immortality' being spiral reality of being. The renewing of life through death. Patriarchal mindSETS will/can not accept this because they have divided themselves from nature, and feeling, via their thinking which includes psychologically analyzing/dissecting concepts into opposing lists and considering one list superior over the other list, and mis-taking this conceptual operation for reality.

'Immortality', 'mortality'

The  patriarchal version of 'immortality' is the absurd belief of actually living in one form for ever and ever and ever...etc. Stasis. And that idea, sadly, is what I see Seth Farber doing with his belief in a future time when we--including all nature-- are to be 'made immortal'.
 It is an ironic and absurd idea with no comprehension that death is of a dynamic with lifeanddeath, like a multidimensional warp and woof , or two serpents twining round each other in an eternal dance where you couldn't possibly have one without the other.

If I say some thing has a 'front' and a 'back', they are abstract terms which explain a dynamic which has a front and back, or back and front depending on your interpretation. But directly experienced it is not a separate 'front' and 'back' which could be independent of each other but a whole event which we then can conceptually claim has a 'front' and a 'back, but they're just terms we use to describe a whole event.

 Just the motion of my arm involves the 'death' of the motion which is the movement. All the cells in my body are dying all the time cyclically as new ones form, and of course there being cycles within cycles, eventually my body dies and new bodies arrive as I die. Flowers, plants, trees, organisms in the soil partly thriving on  death and decay. Ecosystems within ecosystems. Spirals within spirals.  In Seth Farber's 'purified' world we wouldnot see any dead leaf which in death can be as  as beautiful as in life! In Farber's 'immortal' world would we have the death of leaves?

...Fungi are the decomposers of our planet. Without their role in death and decay there would be no life. Psilocybin, like all fungus, plays this role as well. By guiding us into the emotive-psychosynthesis of emotional repression, it decomposes the shadow and unlocks nutrients contained within it to feed the soil of psychospiritual growth. They take us on a journey through and beyond the death and decay of repression, into the fertile grounds of budding maturity, courage, and confidence..." [Decomposing The Shadow: Lessons From The Psilocybin Mushroom , by James W Jesso]

What about the secular world? The world where many atheists  believe  "when your dead your dead", and the scientific belief that eventually the sun will burn itself out, as stars do, and that will be the end of all life? But of course this is really revealing that the cycles of life and death are shared throughout the universe!

 There is the belief that technology will be the 'messiah' or saviour, and this secular idealism (though also covertly including the occult) is called Transhumanism or H+, for short, . This myth shares the same criteria as the other patriarchal myths but the motifs are often more unconscious. There is still the same desire to conquer disease, and death, and totally control nature and the universe, because they see evolution as too slow and it is their 'superior' role to 'upgrade' 'Her'.


For  Seth Farber madness involves the messianic prophecy of this idealism, and as it must be very clear now, we completely disagree about this, so what then does madness mean to me?

Sacred mushroom god of divine madness, Dionysos

Madness

We definitely agree that madness is not biochemical illness, because there does not exist any scientific medical tests to prove this. So what is madness then?

 When someone is extremely sad, very anxious, fearful, having tremendous energy followed by utter deflation, having mythical visions, hearing voices---what is all this behaviour and feeling meaning?

 I would first answer with the question, what does so-called 'normality' mean?

 LOOK at actually what is going on in this world which we are told by authority is supposed to be 'normal'! However, when a person directly looks at it without the usual intellectual distance, the world can be profoundly disturbing. When you see little children and innocent adults as victims of the never-ending wars, and little ones who have suffered horrific DNA damage due to the weapons and chemicals being used by the warmongers and their soldiers, and the terrible poverty a great proportion of the population of Earth are having to 'live' in, and what is happening to other species, and the natural world, it is all extremely upsetting.
 So the troubles in the world do affect us in deep ways even though some people try and keep this distance, but then the emotions and feelings go unconscious. I would dare anyone to take a psychedelic and experience looking at a child so affected by war, and resulting DNA damage caused by the weapons, and fall-out of war. It is hard enough observing this ordinarily (I cannot look directly at this for longger than few seconds!). Psychedelics often dissolve the intellectual distance many people have been 'educated' in to distance their feelings from reality, but when seen with naked eyes and heart and suddenly you are that poor being who is actual experiencing that horror now, it is a different story.

“What both Freud and Jung called “the unconscious” is simply what we, in our historically conditioned estrangement, are unconscious of. It is not necessarily or essentially unconscious.

I am not merely spinning senseless paradoxes when I say that we, the sane ones are out of our minds. The mind is what the ego is unconscious of. We are unconscious of our minds.Our minds are not unconscious. Our minds are conscious of us. Ask yourself who and what it is that dreams our dreams. Our unconscious minds? The Dreamer who dreams our dreams knows far more of us than we know of it." [The Psychedelic Review, R.D.Laing]

There is deep worry and trauma about what is happening to planet Earth. Earth is our home, and we are born into it /out of it. We are nature, We depend on air to breathe, warmth, light and darkness, and water to drink, and food and so on. So if our very home and being, and those who we love, are threatened by all the insanity around threatening the very fabric of life so are we!  And this worry will affect our psyche even though for some on an un-conscious level. For the creatively maladjusted we feel it deeply.

Together with those deeply serious problems there are the personal problems--personal relationships, money, destructive habits to try and escape what we feel, and so on. Worrying about our loved ones, loss, abuse, and  problems if living. Problems of even having problems and sharing about them for fear of being judged to be 'mentally ill', and what can happen to us socially, and physically, when we admit we cannot cope, or are experiencing things not acceptable, and feared, by this culture, . These are real problems, and yet the culture looks at us as being biochemical robots, and thus there is no real feeling, no love. We are abused and so many of us abuse others because that is all we know.


Even the so-called choices we have to get help from 'psych-iatry and psycho-logy, both terms respectively meaning etymologically, "a healing of the soul," and "study of the soul", is from these 'healers' who do not even believe in soul, in feeling. They rather conform to the biopsychiatric mechanistic model which sees us as a skin-bags of chemicals, and electrical interactions, manifesting 'behaviour', that can 'breakdown' and need their drugs/chemicals to 'treat' it and 'restore its chemical balance' and bring it back to 'normal' again, and/or maintain it chemically so it can fit into and 'cope' in this insane world they themselves are con-forming to.

In his book, Farber will rightly encourage that we must question the mental illness myth, which he most certainly does do in depth,  yet he has a blindspot for other patriarchal myths which I see as totally interrelated with the  myth of mental illness, and are important to know about to understand its origins, meaning,  and the mindsets pushing it. To understand the mental illness myth we have to understand patriarchal thinking past and present in all its guises.

Farber's belief that nature is 'imperfect'/caught in bad habits' and in need of being put right by some descending 'super-spirit' is linear, and lapsarian,. having the presupposition that nature is 'fallen', both human nature but also other species, and nature itself, and therefore there is proffered the promise of  some idealistic future to put-it-right.

NOW we are 'imperfect' until we are made 'perfect' and live happily ever after. So in other words, first create a 'problem' and then offer the 'solution', and put the solution in some future date or times. Isn't that what '2012' was all about? Another new age 'hope'.

So what then?

 If, as I am saying all that idealism is false promise, and yet the fact is that there is a vast oppression over all of us, including all other species and planet Earth by insane groups in control, how are we to understand all this, and what can happen to resolve such insanity. And what part does madness play in this?

As stated, I see the premise of Seth Farber's idealism to be lapsarian which means it is depending on nature, and human nature, and animals nature to be flawed to start off with, and needing some 'outer' supernatural event to change it to a more purified version. Why is this idea different in essence from the biopsychiatric model which from its own materialistic perspective sees those of us who do not do what it demands for the good of the State as biochemically flawed? Is there not a correlation between these supposed different worldviews? One sees us flawed materialistically and psychologically, and the other spiritually and physically. But what if we understand that nature and the body and our natures are sacred? But if nature is sacred how come the oppression?

THINKING!!! 'Thinking' when it becomes divided from  heart, and soul, empathy,  feeling.
  Didn't one of this soul-dead civilization's 'heroic-thinkers', Rene Descartes, think 'I think therefore I am'? And from that thinking he caused animals he came into contact with excruciating pain and abuse , because his thinking saw them as robots! So, I am seeing it that it is not so much bad habits of the natural world, including the body and senses which is at fault and needing radical change, but rather bad habits of thinking when such thinking creates divisive dualistic ideas and acts on them causing misery, abuse,  and destruction.
