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

[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

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

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 ;)))

Entheogens, NDEs, OBEs, Reincarnation, UFOs, and Etc: De-compart-mental-ization (to be continued, but maybe with different titles ;))

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?

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

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~~~
