Superpowers – Instrumental Reasoning as an Idea can Fail; the Cornelius Agrippa Effect: The wars of religion, the Reformation, and the Counter-Reformation played a more chaotic role in history than the Enlightenment period. Establishing the Enlightenment required a secular governance model that avoided the religiosity that was prevalent in the past. This was followed by the Industrial Revolution, which brought about significant advancements in science and technology. During this time, a movement in Germany emerged where Protestant theology began to deconstruct or eliminate the mysterious aspects of the Christian faith, such as miracles, virgin births, and resurrection, in favour of a Unitarian approach grounded in ethics and rational thought. In contrast, a fundamentalist movement also arose when communism became increasingly dominant. Corporate industries at that time utilised fundamentalism as a rival ideology but would later shift their stance to support Fascism and Nazism.
The deconstruction of Protestant Christianity allowed the same Unitarian approach [dismantling democracy] on Instrumental reasoning, such as the war on terror that the Bush administration started and would further lead us into the future. This can now be seen in the Trump administration. The whole Apex of the Bush Administration was about a unitary executive theory – giving the presidency a Trump card to act like a King and less a public servant.
The elimination of the concept of Spirit in religion at that time led many to believe that science and scientism could solve every problem and answer every question under the sun. However, science and scientism only created a new set of problems. As this rational, atheistic scientific movement gained traction, religion became less appealing. In contrast to modernity, this new atheist movement has largely disappeared. What remains are only the demoralized individuals who advocate for perceived everyday rational experiences, such as satellization. This shift has vacated a space where one might assume that occultism—such as witchcraft and paganism—would take over. However, that is not the case; occultism serves as a utility for the state and a small population segment. This small segment exists because the majority still adhere to Galileo’s cosmology. While the new atheist movement may be dead, its remnants linger, particularly in how we perceive our cosmology.
What replaced it is a demented version of the Christian religion where one nationalist exists as deeply Nazi racist. At the same time, the other is very pro-Zionist – leaving the rest of traditional Christians confused. Where is the normalcy in this paradox? You could argue that beneath this crude sense of identity lies a misguided belief that a country can achieve economic success through ironic and unpatriotic methods, such as deportation, particularly in a nation built on immigration. Taking on the rights of citizenship to its absolute has a backward effect where the illusion of investment towards actual citizens cannot be equalled through the irrational demands of society. The profits would be greater with social development towards citizenships and flexibility towards illegals.
Atheism, specifically scientific atheism, was to substitute religious faith, which was a key feature of communist ideology. I don’t see how that’s possible since churches are tax-exempt. Perhaps by regulating the market, the regime can control the supply of religion through charitable donations. One would have to consider whether those donations were given to any techno-fascist movements as evidence of partnership; otherwise, it remains mere conjecture. Ironically, the most significant contributions they receive come from the government through socialist programs, even though they view the government as adversarial. This situation is similar to crypto-fascist capitalists, who can monopolise grants while simultaneously criticising the same organisations. There are historical examples where economic models are not solely tied to instrumentalism, and those tend to endure longer. Take, for example, German industrialist Robert Bosch, who, in 1906, introduced the eight-hour workday and paid vacations for his workers. His industries continue to thrive to this day.
The development of transhumanism, robotics, and artificial intelligence may play on the same cosmology: a utopia exists beyond Earth. As it’s examined in transhumanism, a digital holographic paradise which in essence makes it religious and pagan, whether it’s communist is questionable. Scientism and (nu)new-atheism are pagan and have a salvation myth to them, i.e. “we shall be gods.” The compatibility of paganism and communism would be a pressing concern for the world more than arguing about whether or not the dictatorship of the proletariat is compatible with believing that the fairies living in your garden are at all relevant to anything. If it is sorcery, then that’s a different matter. It would be a better fit, considering the sorcerer wants personal power instead of the artist.
Trying to present paganism towards a purely socio-economic [communism] model falls flat when the concern is more nature-based, such as the identification of the ascent of transformation equally in the transformation in evolution. The pursuit of power and immortality highlights an evolutionary transformation, but it is more closely associated with the darker aspects of occult magic. A modern example of the divide surrounding sceptical models can be seen in the “zeitgeist” film. The Pagan Salvation mythos and the Christ Salvation mythos share similarities in their connections to astro-theology. However, they primarily address the solstice as a myth related to seasonal deities. This is just one aspect among many astrological myths that can be observed in the night sky. A key distinction between the legacy of Jesus and that of devotees of Horus and other religions is that the latter never regarded their deities as historical figures or their sacred stories as factual, as Christians do. Additionally, there is no solid evidence to support the existence of a historical Jesus. Gnostic Christians, for instance, believe that Jesus was not the son of God (Jehovah) but rather the son of Wisdom.
This is a split in scepticism relevant to our modernity, an apocalyptic time where Christian fundamentalism still champions fascism. The heart of individualism stands as the heart of irrational instrumentalism. It is an inclusive ideal with walls around it where they hold Pure Reason unbroken. This is their godhead. It’s not Jesus. In the cloak of practical reasons and gas-lighting, thinking they live a responsible life. However, what follows are delusions: that they can exist outside the whole – that’s because reason, when deformed into instrumental dictum, seems quite naturally to slip from complexity to a linear mode.
The methodology of logic that proclaims the virtue of technical innovation examined in adaptive behavioural (AI) intelligence waking up the demon head Algol (algorithm) is no more complex or breathtaking than medieval Lullian mystics who believed by developing a system of calculations whereby one could calculate your way to truth and godhood. A renascence version of information theory, and so there was a backlash because it undermines faith –there is no need for it if you can calculate your way into divinity. On the other hand, they had no problems with art’s connection to divinity and godhood.
Cornelius Agrippa appeared in the scene, mindful of the qualities of art and magic as an alchemical base, and proclaimed that “magic” would be how one can reconcile oneself with God. Agrippa is a Catholic sceptic philosopher who tackled his split in reason regarding balancing an esoteric understanding versus his fondness for nominalism. This induced scepticism, followed by an interest in proto-Protestantism and humanism. He was essentially at the centre of interesting philosophical points, which positioned him to make a breakthrough in sceptical philosophy. Agrippa was part of a secret society that backed his alchemical research; at this time, he was coming to grips with being a pious Catholic and coming to terms with the direct reconciliation with God via Protestant interest and magic. This is a perplexing position, considering the Church offered reconciliation through the Church’s reform and Sacrament. He believes it would be magic as a mechanism by which you reconcile the fallen souls directly with God. If it can be done by magic, you don’t need the Church. This is the dilemma he couldn’t reconcile his magical theorising and his position with the Church. So, Agrippa exists within two worlds at once.
Living in two worlds at once is not uncommon; I guess many do live that way. They keep silent about it or must take an oath or due rest to regulatory laws that compel them – or for any other reasons. For instance, a stern Atheist, Nietzsche, had an awakening in a thunderstorm – the sudden overwhelming feeling of well-being came over him. Yet you won’t find him writing about magic or magic recognised as a power inside us or advocating means of tapping into this phenomenon. He remained firmly atheistic and merely warned about the consequence that killing aspects of spiritual religiosity like “God” would cause the societal disruption that exist now. The atheistic or rational instrumental response suggests that Nietzsche alluded to science and reason, which had progressed so far that we could no longer justify a belief in God. Of course, Agrippa would reject this instrumentalism reason outright.
Agrippa believed that magic was central to the restoration of humanity. Individuals can draw closer to divinity and achieve spiritual powers by resurrecting primordial wisdom from Hermetic and Kabbalistic traditions. During Agrippa’s Italian period in 1517, he explored these otherworldly ideas, which often contrasted with his understanding of Catholicism. He posited that through this reconciliation with the divine, one might attain god-like powers, which are cultivated through natural, miraculous causation and reinforced by a pre-lapsarian perspective—an examination of the state of humanity before the Fall.
In this context, Adam possessed miraculous abilities that allowed him to manipulate nature, and Agrippa suggested that such powers could be attained by reconciling oneself with God. Magic, in this period, is a by-product of that reconciliation. The Fall, prompted by Eve in creation mythology—where Eve symbolizes dialectical reason—illustrates the challenge when humans attempt to reason their way to the divine. However, Agrippa argues that this approach is flawed. He asserts that one cannot reason oneself to the divine because the mind has also fallen, diluting the ability to understand through reason. Agrippa addresses this issue by advocating a Protestant-style faith, where a mystically informed faith can create a direct connection to the divine. This faith allows the mind to leap the divine, creating a circuit where the individual and God are momentarily united. This mystical faith is then expressed and encoded through words and language in written texts.
Agrippa’s divided perspective presents one side with a sceptical dimension and the other with a magical one. While each side may offer an incomplete view, they are perfectly aligned because both are ultimately connected through reconnection with the divine. This connection is rooted in mystical acts of faith that support both perspectives. By exploring the harmony of scepticism and magic, one realises they are more integrated and cohesive than one might initially believe.
There is a striking parallel between that time and our current situation. Our sceptical movement challenges the rational modalities that have significantly influenced our contemporary understanding of cosmology. While atheism might be in decline, it has entangled our cosmology in a questionable linear framework that includes both rationality and religion. With its dry reliance on logic, the promise of hyperrealism and space exploration claims that technical innovation represents the true meaning of progress. Those who advocate this often mirror the assertions made by Christian Republicans and conservatives regarding their definitions of progress. Similarly, Ayn Rand’s libertarians superficially embrace left-wing concerns, yet they impose the same forms of authoritarianism and coercion—through corporate capitalism—that they claim to oppose. This kind of reasoning becomes self-referential, leading to a focus on form over content. As it grows increasingly irrational, it tramples over reality in the name of self-proclaimed truths.
As they attempt to deceive the world into believing that the latest technological breakthroughs are new, one fundamental truth remains: corporations and capitalism are unethical. Their primary focus is self-interest and competition. Neither technology nor instrumentalism has any inherent, logical, or structural connection to ethics, nor does it have a rational relationship to ethical considerations. Despite any claims of sentience, artificial intelligence does not possess opinions, nor does it have a destiny tied to concepts of good and evil or the progress of well-being versus destruction. If people perceive it as a novel advancement or an improvement in methods or production, it becomes a disheartening notion. As it trivializes human thought and argument, it becomes misguided to connect the Greek concepts of reason and virtue to technological change.
Superpowers – Consciousness can Exist Instrumental Reason Cannot: Agrippa’s effect is an example of completeness, much like the Yin and Yang symbol. It complements Descartes’s unfinished idea that an angel revealed to him that “the conquest of nature will be measured in numbers.” While this notion may have been relevant in his time, it now seems incompatible, as the spirit of mystery has been entirely stripped away. We currently find ourselves caught in a Hegelian madness, further intensified by scientism and rationalism. The left and right hands are centred and connected to Keter, with perpendicular attachments rather than dualities. Baudrillard describes the “metamorphosis of opposites that perpetuates itself in censored form” as a simulacrum. It becomes clear that Hegelian traps within the dialectic adopt opposing philosophies that contradict their fundamental ideology because they exist as a guise and never follow through on their promises.
Agrippa’s effect addresses the limitations of an instrumental version of reason, which would otherwise confine modern humans’ understanding due to a lack of imagination. In other words, instrumental reason has shaped our modern consciousness. Contemporary individuals struggle to comprehend concepts like angels and demons because their thinking has become dominated by functional reasons. The irrational aspects of instrumentalism are often concealed in subtle and seemingly innocuous representations. For example, consider the truth of cosmology—how the Protestant fervour of the Illuminati council restructured the cosmos to align with an institution within an industrial-technical society, thereby limiting our choices. They compel society and individuals to endorse instrumental reason while, in contrast, intuition, common sense, or the authentic spirit of our consciousness would prevail if given a chance.
We covered the difference between sorcery and magic [in post 02] and loosely concluded sorcery is about power, and magic is about the artist. However, magic often gets regulated to power; there is an intricate difference: the utility of one is not the utility of the other. Take, for example, transhumanism … it is not transgenderism; transhumanism is an evolutional ideal for immortality. The utilitarian is the ascent and transformations through technological methods. The human quality of transgenderism and reason is not encapsulated in transhumanism’s utilitarianism. While there is merit to conclude a state cult(s) exists that can or may initiate a conspiracy where transgenderism is used as means of creating a new movement and religion. Still, it’s like revitalising the ancient Temple’s prostitutes historical facts for an instrumental idea [a Trans agenda] to modern-day transgenderism; its utilitarianism used as a reason.
Also, regulating gurus of magic as mere operators of intelligent agencies imparts a child-modifier to instrumental reason: The quality of magic, our intuition, and the artist have a broader reach than that. Even thought and argument are of central importance, as well as ethics and having a sense of the other and inclusive responsibility. So does imagination, allowing people to conceive of what is happening to their society, and intuition drive people to make decisions. The qualities of magic are not regulated by these conceived systems made by these perceived [god-like] untouchable elites.
Utilitarianism used as reason kind of mimics its methods with woke-isim, where the making of sacred, marginalised gender and sexual identity groups becomes apparent. The difference is that it goes nowhere. It’s purely spiritual, while the later utilitarianism used as reason and instrumental reason goes straight to state power. The problem with the spiritual immutableness of the sacred is in its response to which such responses become shoehorned to a particular category. Most conservative intellectuals agree that authentic transgender and gay communities don’t pay homage to state-cults engineered versions of trans and gay manufactured ideologies; the real does not speak for the fake.
Consider the Republican campaign aimed at banning abortions at the federal level. This reflects a broader trend concerning women’s rights and freedoms observed in Western democracies over the last fifty years. Right-wing conservatives often refuse to provide women with choices. The collaborative relationship between patients, mental health institutions, and doctors highlights the reality of instrumental reasoning. Recent reports from conservative states reveal tragic consequences, such as women dying from sepsis after doctors deny necessary D&C (dilation and curettage) treatments during miscarriages. Additionally, rape victims who become pregnant face similar denials, with decisions being made not by them but by others. Regardless of the reasons, when a woman is pregnant, unwarranted interventions often occur. This approach to instrumental reasoning permeates both religious and political philosophies. It leans towards fascism while superficially aligning with the principles of Christianity, which often overshadow objective facts and data. Ultimately, this instrumentalist mindset, along with obsessive structuralism and unethical professional practices, forces rational individuals to think, communicate, and, when necessary, act in irrational ways.
This irrationality arises from the “I love you” science advocates—those extreme empiricists who hold science and rationalism close to their hearts, believing it will answer all questions. These unlikely allies of groups that promote outer space and astronomy emerged during the Wernher von Braun era of rocketry and later with NASA. The peculiar atmosphere surrounding this institution evolved into a dominant group that resembles a cult. This group has a viewpoint similar to traditional cosmology, which sees space (or hyperreal space) as central to many religious and secular cosmic perspectives. Their approach can be characterised as extreme gatekeeping.
A prominent flat earther, known as Jeranism, has been labelled a shill by the community for decades. He often expressed scepticism and commented on NASA astronaut videos; however, it was clear that he was a form of controlled opposition and a grifter. The so-called final experiment failed to prove anything, as the alleged trip to Antarctica was questionable at best and likely a sun-worship ritual. This final experiment conflated celestial observations with our terrestrial foundation. When you compare their instrumental reasoning with observable facts, the latter holds more merit. There is also a significant amount of mythical data supporting the idea of multiple suns in the sky. Such claims reinforce mythicism and faith in gods and primeval sun gods, which dominate our astro-theological allegory. Suppose one chooses to distance oneself from the instrumentalism of scientism and embrace Agrippa’s sceptical reasoning by accepting instrumentalism and observance. You would have ice crystals within a layer, membrane, or firmament on a flat plane that act as reflective components of the Sun that shine through the firmament, causing reflective multiplicities. Regardless of what the Sun and Moon are doing over our heads, it has no bearing on what Earth looks like.
I have suggested that scientism acts as a Protestant subset of an alchemical movement that gained momentum after the death of Giordano Bruno; however, scientism itself is a modern concept. The initial emergence of scientism from atheistic sceptics slowed down after the controversies surrounding Epstein. It’s important to note that this shift was linked to waning idealism and the decline of the institutions that supported it. Scepticism toward science was already present before the rise of flat Earth theories, particularly in the debates questioning the moon landing, which cast doubt on the validity of space travel itself. This scepticism about going to the moon includes a deeper inquiry into the validity of space itself.
The rise of political correctness, often associated with the term “woke,” originated from activism that found a place within a declining sceptic movement. This group had a talent for viewing history through a revisionist lens, but their influence did not have the same impact as their opposers. The anti-woke movement, which praised intellectual figures advocating for resistance, also employed a revisionist approach. However, their influence led to the emergence of a fascist movement driven by a hostile nationalist right, a charismatic demagogue, and a fragmented democracy. The anti-woke groups have surpassed any extremism that woke groups might aspire to achieve. Currently, atheism and woke culture are closely intertwined, with activism resembling a variant of the MeToo movement aimed at addressing abuse and harassment against women within that framework. What began as a movement for moral justification has transformed into something far more complex. This evolution has ultimately dismantled the sceptic movement altogether, and with figures like Epstein benefiting from backing many institutions,” its credibility has come under scrutiny.
The new atheist movement, despite its criticisms of science, ironically exhibits many anti-science characteristics. While the new atheists attempt to support their flawed arguments with material, independent leftist media, like mainstream media, often submits to the rationality of scientism. Independent media can share a similar scepticism found in conspiracy-theory media, which has been prevalent on the radio for decades before the internet era. However, there is a lack of doubt among independent left and right media; their focus is primarily on data points and facts, even if they are manipulated. There is a noticeable absence of awareness about the external world and its mysteries. The discussion is devoid of mystery; it is purely satellized in its detachment. The global warming farce and Covid enterprise are such examples of these instrumental reasoning in the form of “scientist say” or self- referetialisim guarded as gatekeepers.
At the same time, in politics, the echo chambers of independent anti-woke right-wing grifters have their own sets of denial regarding modern republican connection to a negative nationalist party. There is a female black conservative [who thinks she’s white like the blind Richard Pryor train scene in which he realises is not white] denying outright the existence of white supremacist Klans that has links to government and Masonry – to a Jewish social media personality advocating the legitimacy of Zionism and Israel’s war crimes against Palestine. When both sides of independent media are in denial and gate-keeps, obfuscate, propagandise, and straw-man the “truth”, there is no moral imperative. If everyone is in denial, we are only left with the method – therefore, who will take the baton and play the role of real reason? The fallacy in conspiracy theory is to perceive theory as absolute or rather for them to have the tendency to believe they know the secret from those who hold the secret. There is a tendency everywhere for the rational method to be kept secret. Secrecy is just one aspect of “rational” systems, and it should be understood that there is a difference between “systems and methods” versus “thought and argument.” The methodology is not a deformation of reason; it’s no reason at all – it’s merely a requirement for structure and utilitarianism.
The Hegelian dialectic trappings of left and right politics are there purely for tactics, a sleight of hand or distraction, and popularity in media merely moved from studios to bedrooms and house offices. Having implied instrumentalism and utilitarianism [method vs. thought] are the same as their functions are themselves. However, functions are not qualities. They are merely the transient awareness of someone’s taking notice, examined in how the rich view low-paying jobs like maids and farmhands, predominantly the role allocated to South Americans from the US border. A delusional view would be that the incompetence of the rich merely doesn’t want their slaves gone because, to them, it’s a quality used to good effect. Meanwhile, the left, which still exists to the dismay of the cynical pragmatic types, tries to cut out this instrumentality so it doesn’t block it from other qualities. Like those of a nationalist fervour who attaches its artificial qualities and drags it down to directionless competence, in the case of reason, instrumentalism drags it down to a process, to shop-floor techniques such as efficiency. But will ultimately fail in the wake of a failing empire.
Or in hopes that their own citizens will take on these unwanted jobs – and even in that regard, they are jobs too complicated for them as younger generations filled with autism, trauma, and mental illness are generations with no basic skills, yet lives decadent, yet incompetent. In a system where education has become entrainment leaves little hope to future generations. However, you must not expand the scope of such awareness worldwide; otherwise, it becomes generalisations. What makes society and civilisation is precisely its more complex, less clear, more long-term, non-utilitarian aspects. Notions of losing expertise as a warning are a concern. Countries like Australia didn’t lose their expertise outside of a falling empire. Rather, trade, manual construction, and engineers outnumbered doctors and nurses, which is a need. And so it was a consensus around the nature “nature of the other”, which solidified the idea of responsible individualism and social inclusion, which drove the movement for egalitarian and flexible immigration for doctors and nurses to work in Australia.
The pragmatic nihilist cyanic believes the established ruling class has dismantled any resistance and gives no hope and no way out for their children’s future and their children. It doesn’t help that cyanic nihilists mimic the sceptical right’s enthrallment of the false promises that demagogues and the fascist right would give as opposed to a dying left still fighting for those freedoms unmoved by any action the Clinton era produced because they understand not to be captured or taken into false individualism – that standing individual that thinks itself as a concept, therefore, thinking itself into existence.
Instrumental reasoning can give the effectiveness tariffs that an increase can boost the economy or by halting funds sent to Ukraine benefits the U.S. However, the complexity of this situation is often misunderstood by the public, who may not grasp the utility and processes behind tariffs. While a straightforward approach might suggest stopping the funds, this could be irrational. Halting the funds could lead to greater international debt than if we continued to provide assistance.
There is a clear distinction between being a leftist and being a liberal. Liberalism often fails to engage critically with capitalism, imperialism, and the policies of the Democratic Party, tending instead to pay mere lip service to conservative sentiments. As a result, the responsibility for meaningful critique falls to independent leftist media since all mainstream media has become compromised. While independent media is essential for providing a rational perspective on current events, it must also be open to the complexities of life and the mysteries of the universe. Progression, independent media should not rely solely on rationality but also embrace the more enigmatic aspects of existence.
An increase in leftist media could be a potential solution. However, the key is being open to the vague assumptions often promoted by these entities, which ask individuals to trust their intuition. They tend to follow the same approach as mainstream media, usually relying on self-referential viewpoints, such as the phrase “scientists say.” This trend is a response to those who believe the liberal class is becoming non-existent, replaced by a unified subset that adheres strictly to “woke” ideologies. This group often undermines imaginative storytelling and an understanding of archetypes. Those who recognise this dynamic adopt a totalitarian approach reminiscent of the propaganda methods engineered by Mao. However, what are commonly perceived as “woke” are ideologies that will come and go over time. Woke is as dead end ideology and only lingers in memes and those that bring up perceived social agenda topics [like transgenderisim] to light – are falling for the distraction.
As much as the right-wing believes Maoism is communist, it’s more socialist in its iteration, yet it still ended in a state capitalist system. The state still effectively controls the means of production in Maoism, and the hugely oppressive neo-bourgeoisie governmental class exploits the workers. This ideology still has large amounts of authority, social class, and money. The state killed millions of workers under Maoism. Maoism is state capitalism, not communism or socialism. Communism as a socio-economic ideology was never really achieved – its achievement can only be found in Star-Trek, as the fictional tale did away with currency altogether. In that lore, they had World War Three before they achieved this utopia.
What is apparent and overtakes Woke’s lived ideology are those that extremely oppose it, like anti-woke independent personalities, MAGA cults, nationalist white supremacists, right-wing fundamentalist groups, and right-wing Christians – that use the same methodology of propaganda now have more influence in media and independent media than any liberalism media of the past. Made evident in Project 2025, an attempt at the unitary executive theory of power, the president acts as an Emperor with loyalist sycophants that surround the leader – destroys any parts of government that are good and gets rid of the regulatory state, lets corporations get away with unethical behaviour – while letting billionaires into government to loot the treasury and trying to undermine social benefits on their false notion that somehow it effects the deficit, and of course this is not true in fact it finances the deficit. In some cases congress needs to payback money they borrowed from social security.
Superpowers – Difference between Escaping the Bonds of Time and Mystical Acts of Faith: Reason tries to morph itself into utilitarianism when up against a paradox. Of course, there is nothing wrong with methodology and systems or management and efficiency, as they are necessary functions. Take, for instance, when we realise that our system is the Egregore and democracy merely functions underneath it. Philip K Dick’s “empire never ended’ has its milieu in that system an entity in itself; democracy as a system of method is a system in a stranglehold, yet the empire is in collapse; therefore, where is the human quality of reason encapsulated? You could say the Egregore has a long hibernation process, and before it awakes, we can figure our way out. However, it will inevitably fall; the encapsulation can only be addressed in dreams and your imagination.
You can see instrumental reasoning working its way through a utilitarianism method, and the system has become a living entity. The Greek universe is a complex family of active gods and oracles, and the rational universe becomes merely part of the system’s management. Everything is demystified in this animism and reason approach. In reality, they were implying that these gods and oracles were not about justifying the decline in superstition; instead, they were a way to embrace the world’s complexity. Yes, the system is a type of Egregore, at the same time a literal Egregore can exist in our mystical reality.
We’ve established that those endowed with the imagination can bring down spirits to earth; this is a magical, natural, intuitive act. However, because of the aggressive nature of the imagination, these elites are but a few. They are weird and isolated; they are the artist-prophets. We’ve also distinguished the difference between magic and sorcery. Still, the ideas about magic are narrowed into secret cults influencing the future through power and sorcery, thus engulfing the complexity of magic to the powerful one per cent. They’ve taken the pagan religion of the Magi to Satanic levels of worship, where stories embedded in stars and constellations are ritualised in astro-theology and star magic. Often, these rituals follow the same motive of atheism throguh Darwin’s of ascent through transformation. To escape the bonds of time had the same pattern as the elite’s historical reach for immortality, now becoming more prevalent to the public in AI & Transhumanism projects.
The Magi, meaning “magic,” originated from ancient religious traditions. The original Magi derived their magical powers from what is known as positive consciousness. This state of mind involves recognising that subjectivity is meaningful only when it remains open to understanding the reality beyond itself. It embodies a positive outlook and appreciation for the world, filled with wonder and interest. History provides limited information about the Magi, with most of it coming from the writings of Herodotus in the fifth century B.C. And earlier; Plato also mentioned the later stages of the Magi religion, noting their remarkable purity of faith. The Magi had no images of gods, temples, or altars. However, they practised a ritual in which they ascended to the highest mountain summits to offer sacrifices to Zeus, whom they identified with the cosmos or Firmament. Additionally, they made offerings to the Sun, Moon, Earth, and the elements of fire, water, and wind.
The Persians later developed a worship of the sun god, Mithras, who bears many similarities to Jesus and nearly rivalled Christianity in popularity in Rome. The Magi, skilled in dream interpretation and their knowledgeable scholars, were descendants of the Shamans from the Neolithic era. What distinguished them, however, was that the power of the shamans was derived from Mana, the magical force that permeates nature. The Magi possessed knowledge of mathematics, astrology, and divination expertise. In our previous discussion, we mentioned Monads, which refer to a higher human ego and soul. The son of mind is called Mana-saputra, linking the Neolithic concept of Mana (the force of nature) to our higher mind, referred to as Manas.
Gilbert Murray, a supposed telepathist [thought reading], describes his process of positive consciousness and higher Manas. By remembering a scene or event that partly eludes him, half a picture begins to form in his mind, along with a few tantalizing threads of association, but not the complete scene. This implies that our mental processes are “occult” and mysterious as the powers of thaumaturgists or telepathists. This is not merely channelling this something else; you could argue that Murray “remembered” what was happening in Huxley’s mind. Either that or used the exact mechanisms we use to recall something, but reached into Huxley’s mind.
How does one summon these powers? There is a prerequisite, and there are elite artists. The rationalism of instrumental reasoning has caused most people to fixate on narrow perspectives. Gaining enlightenment—what Alan Watts calls cosmic consciousness—is a genuine experience; this is the Spark that the Gnostics discuss. It is possible to achieve temporary heightened awareness and enhanced psychic abilities. You can become harmoniously connected to the universe [synchronistic whole] in a way that transcends simply being aware of synchronistic patterns of symbols and language, which would be more of an intuitive act. The path to this enlightenment is not conventional, as it requires the development of positive consciousness. Zoroastrianism—the ancient religion of the Persians — particularly emphasizes this recognition of positive consciousness. However, a significant challenge arises when our contextual understanding of collective memory precedes historical accuracy. The Elite’s secret heterodox alignment with demonic forces in the past and present may not align with the views held during the time of Magi and Zoroastrianism.
The Persian scriptures, the Gathas, state that the Supreme Being, Ahura Mazda, created two twins, who produce reality and unreality. Reality and unreality are seen as the essential elements from which the world is created. They are not positive and negative, but both are equally positive. It was only later that they degenerated into Good and Evil. (Later still, there was a further degeneration, when Ahura Mazda, the first cause, was identified with the Good, and his enemy Ahriman with the devil.) For reality is meaning – out there – and unreality is human subjectivity, our tendency to get enmeshed in our self- chosen values. We derive our power to act, to work, to concentrate, to evolve, from this same subjectivity, so it cannot be regarded as negative or evil. It becomes negative through human stupidity and defeat-proneness. – Colin Wilson, The Occult a History |
The fundamental difference between elites who seek to escape the constraints of time and humanity’s spiritual evolutionary progress lies in our recognition of the Magi, who mastered the occult powers of nature and engaged in nature worship. This understanding leads us to Zoroastrianism, which evolved into the various religions of Mesopotamia, characterised by their angels and demons, and ultimately gave rise to the ruling cults of priests and state religions. There is an endeavour to worship fallen angels and liberate their spirits from our Archonic entrapment so they may once again dwell among the stars of heaven. Those who help and align with that cosmic goal are often promised power and immortality. However, this journey is fraught with darkness. Their quest for enlightenment can be forced, leaving spirit and body damaged, leading to doubt about whether the experience is genuinely enlightening or merely a demonic process. This approach attempts to dominate mysticism for practical purposes through magic. In contrast, there is Gnostic distinction in the principle of “being in the world, but not of it” – that it is in the heart, in the Gnosis (knowledge) and the spirit. Theosophists argue that we possess a ray of the Supreme Spirit. This path is an inward journey, unrelated to escapism, as the spiritual planes or spheres already exist within us here and now.
Agrippa was well-read and immersed himself in the works of Renaissance thinkers and esoteric philosophers. However, even though he was familiar with the literature, he deeply disdained Scholasticism, notably Aristotle. He believed that Scholasticism failed to achieve its goal of resolving theological controversies through dialectic reasoning because he felt that reason alone could not accomplish this task. As we noted, Baudrillard’s idea of “meta-morphing opposites” reiterates itself in a censored format, which serves as a method for that dialectic. Elite state cults utilize this concept to misdirect the public. Agrippa’s foundational ideas on his Sceptical Term influenced prominent thinkers like Albertus Magnus, Thomas Aquinas, John Duns Scotus, and William of Ockham. One significant figure who impacted Agrippa was Joachim of Fiore, known for his apocalyptic views. Joachim suggested that humanity is currently living in the age of the Sun and that we would eventually transition to the age of the Spirit. Agrippa agreed with this assertion, positing that we are indeed entering the age of the Spirit. Agrippa’s interpretation of Nicholas of Cusa’s concept of “learned ignorance” aligns with the idea of the “meta-morphing of opposites.” He argued that we do not come to know God through established propositions but rather through learned ignorance. In this framework, God represents the unity of all opposites, where all truths and falsehoods coexist. In essence, God embodies the coincidence of opposites, and through this understanding, one can approach the divine via learned ignorance.
Agrippa’s effect dissolves fundamentalism’s narrow view of magic and occultism by differentiating the dark side of occultism with the honest acts of mystical faiths. Here, faith is not just belief in the absence of evidence but faith in the mystical leaning upon. The Greek word for faith is “trust”, like trust-fall or the act of love requires a leap of faith. The artist-prophets endowed with imagination and the spirit of magic is not always agents for the enemy, but they realise that the enemy will often seek you out. Agrippa’s intimation implores mystical faiths as a type of jailbreak towards the divine, and within this connection, you become the message hub of esoteric information and faith. Such aspects align with the artist-prophet; it is the magical direction towards the same mystical faith.

Superpowers – The Infinite/Finite Reality: As we continue from the previous post regarding mathematicians and reality, we conclude that math is not reality. However, Dr Dear Radin, a parapsychologist, disagrees with this truism; instead, he thinks math is reality. He believes any sufficiently complex system that involves recursion (mathematical linguistics to describe repeated procedure) and enough interconnections can be consciousness; therefore, can we make a robot complex enough to be like the brain that has these recursion circuits? The answer is clearly yes, and we will get there relatively soon: a robot with the complexity of the brain running on silicone or some other semiconductor. The hardware will be like data from Star Trek, which is a conscious robot. Not only does he believe this to be the case, but he also imparts these Robots or A.I will be conscious and psyche – to be precise, more psyche than your relative empath or clairvoyant humans.
Of course, this prediction will not come true for a fundamental mythological reason in regard to the creator-God of this world. I feel like I’m repeating myself every time these A.I subjects come into my per-view. The creator-God was unable to create His first Adamas without having the unknown help from the Goddess Aeon of wisdom; you could say it’s an intuition component. To suggest humans can make something the creator-God couldn’t reeks of pseudo-science optimism [man becomes more intelligent than the creater-God]. If you can’t be moved by apocryphal myths, even on the rational side, a summary that encapsulates intuition as the utility for gnosis to be derived sparks of wisdom and inspiration defined Blavatsky’s “taught” concept of receiving wisdom itself.
This is also what Kant’s emphasis was about. Something out there is generating these types of sensory perceptions and giving them to us. It runs counterintuitive to “quantum oneness propositions”, the notion that our collective thought is creating our reality of matter – as a result, the oneness aspect only carries half of its propositions. The micro-cosmic world (quantum, if you will) may or may not exist. We know it does as it is partial to our observance, and the double-split experiment reinforces that light behaves like waves. What else behaves like waves? – Water behaves like waves, seldom surf waves, but rather a unifying liquid of transparency. Of course, there is this apocryphal notion of waters in the firmament. The contention is that anything artificial beyond the complexity of the human brain and consciousness doesn’t have the faculties to receive these other perceptions given to us. And this must be local; otherwise, we, on a quantum level, are also creating the infinite hyperrealism cosmos with all its galaxies, stars and solar systems, which is beyond comprehension.
In a mathematical framing, as was discussed in the last post, there is no way to measure this impossibility; you have to enclose it or make up a set size, thereby being able to measure it. This astronomical postulation is where they realise they are bounded by a set size too large – an infinity so large it’s immeasurable; even measuring it is pointless. This impossible proposition parallels the notion that technocrats can create robots that are psyche wizards that are more intuitive humans than Radin suggests. A sleight of hand to imply dehumanising positions involving an evolutionary automaton can be more divine. I’ve said that assumption or probability is too large to become real. There is also the fact that the amount of data needed for A.I to mimic theory of mind is monumental. A field of warehouses needs to be implanted to have a fancy interactive search engine that you can use. It’s also increasing, which means that a single CPU is not large enough, and no data sets and computers in the world can analyse our cosmos.
Radin is a person who engages in noetic science, wanting to merge the supernatural phenomena of psi and clairvoyance through the language of (pseudo) physics and mathematics. And if there ever was a “bullshit job, this is maybe one of them” – though having some knowledge of the spirit realm and its phenomenon is partially credible, the other half only engages in butt-kissing technocrats and corporatist tail-end for simply needing to keep that grant money flowing; scientism projects leads nowhere.
Radin imparts that there is nothing particularly special about human physiology and that consciousness may be an illusion. It might raise the complexity of brain activity, although he doubts this. Then, if it’s not correct, it’s something else and may rise from other forms of idealism (Panpsychism, etc.), and then a thinking robot machine one day could have consciousness. Panpsychism is a subset of idealism borrowing from animism that asserts all things (material & biological) have types of spirit, but Panpsychism has consciousness instead. Of course, this is completely wrong. You can’t make something theoretical as a base for evidence for a pseudo-argument disguised as empirical concerning a Robot having higher psyche abilities than humans could. Animism falls in line towards vibrational frequencies rather than spirits usually understood.
In contrast, we have adaptive behaviours in A.I its function is relatively consigned to computer language orientation. It’s like programming a light fixture to turn several different colours on, but it does not mean it has either awareness or consciousness; it only has a specific code embedded on a micro-board. A.I, however, is far more sophisticated with its self-learning, but does not move away from that simple base function of executing external code languages.
Radin has experience consulting around Silicon Valley types and praises Elon Musk and his robotic programme. That’s unsurprising; Radin’s useless job depends on firmly wedging his science fiction exaltation to hopeful reality. He says in a possible future that: “these robots will be levitating wizards” They’re going to have more psyche than humans because they don’t have all the psychological and brain mechanisms that humans do – which act as a blockage against psyche awareness. He delves into the possible consequences of a future where this magical levitating robot exists. He believes this firmly because he doesn’t think there is anything special about the human body. This guy is no different to any science-fiction writer. The only difference is that science-fiction writers do not coax a non-fiction probability. Just two years after he made such a claim, a TV series called “Raise by Wolves” happened to come along, whose whole premise is around A.I messiah, who happens to be magical, levitates and is archetypically a wizard.
Gnostic mythology acknowledges that the spark of divinity in humanity contributes to our complexity and uniqueness—something that no machine can replicate. Scientists have yet to understand the mysteries of the brain entirely. Therefore, it is a shallow assumption to believe that the human body can be replaced by artificial means, as the body’s unique and spiritual qualities are irreplaceable. While digital approximations may exist—such as attempting to measure infinity within defined limits—these will always represent a fundamental barrier; this is the gap that persists. This gap is akin to a hidden aspect of Daat, where proper understanding emerges between wisdom and knowledge. In other words, the human body is too uniquely specific and special beyond the comprehension of man’s ability to mimic it artificially.
Radin grasps the back end of Bohm’s work regarding implicate order, where he describes a fluid substance that is inherently mental, which is simply at the bottom. From within, everything from the physical world merges. This fictional fluid is likened to the black goo in X-files, Prometheus, and the milky substance in Westworld, all vying to replicate the complexity of the blood cells.
Bohm’s implicate order is an ultra-holistic view; it connects with everything else. This means that a single element could reveal details about every other element. Bohm’s Implicate Order is a theoretical utility to explain particle behaviour, such as subatomic particles having the ability to interact when light/time years apart. Bohm believed this behaviour comes from unobserved sub-quantum forces and hidden particles that pose no conflict with causality and reality. He says this hidden reality is a deeper dimension of reality – and that space-time is also derived in the same place of a deeper level of objective reality. This reality is called the implicate order, in which everything else is connected. In this wholeness is the totality of existence as an undivided, boundless flowing movement.
It’s as fictional as the hidden Mycelial network found in Star Trek Discovery. The only difference is that Bohm’s theory is closer to how one would describe how a theoretical-holographic reality works. A hidden reality that manifests existence; Some of Bohm’s Implicate Order is a rip of Blavatsky’s work. It leans more toward quantum and hyperreal cosmology understanding only to justify pseudoscience and science-fiction rhetoric.
At the start of this thesis collection, we already derived why space/time does not exist, but time (separated from space) exists and seems to be endless. Gravity does not exist, but some other force (in the quantum world); space is not genuine; therefore, it’s not infinite. Perhaps implying infinity in the x,y,z context where the direction of infinity is derived in “y” instead it’s in the “z” or the “x” is more credible, and there is no such thing as a Higgs Boson, etc. Bohm’s work attempts to quantify or explain away that something is out there, giving us these sense perceptions that are contrary to particles’ theoretical behaviours. Let’s say that something out there is creator-God, and the Implicate Order is something to replace that.
It’s tough for these meta-physics/psyche-physics theorists to understand mathematical limitations regarding the fictional language they created. It’s an understanding I mentioned in the previous post regarding the conscious as the finite and sub-conscious being the infinite, which is also derived from the Son of Man’s meaning that it’s finite in the expressions of Jesus’s humanity, and the Son of God expressed in the infinite expression of his divinity. As Spinoza puts it, “to the adequate knowledge of the essence of things”, to which intuition will deliver you there. Ironically, denying this limitation is also a denial of knowledge, hence meta-physics thinkers’ inability to grasp intuition and animism.
Trying to answer the mysteries of consciousness through physics, a type of psyche-physics, but when physics is steered towards the inexplicable, it becomes a misrepresented filled with errors towards the psychologism of the mind, where otherwise philosophical psychologism has already been achieved. Mathematics, being fungible in its process, like the physics of mechanical engineering, firmly places a finite approach. When it starts to impart a cosmic hyperrealism, the infinite becomes (ironically finite, but wrong), and it’s no surprise the so-called material (physics) science has an interest in consciousness as it has that infinite quality. The result would be ineffective. The errors in space cosmology will repeat that ineffectiveness towards consciousness.
Allan Watts put it simply through the spotlight and floodlight analogy. Anyone trying to define consciousness through multiples of measure, i.e. psyche-physics, theories, and fiction, is deluding themselves; consciousness is almost impossible to define. A hypothesis in theosophy (Secret Doctrine, proem) manifests the One Life force. Blavatsky’s one life force adage is what Bohm plagiarised for his Implicate Order, but in his, its behaviour assumes the claptrap of meta-physics and comic-book science fiction. The most common definition of consciousness amongst the collective norms is acts of awareness of pain, love, joy, hatred, etc., or experiences of insight, perception of thoughts, etc.
Allan Watts viewed consciousness as an intuitive act that functions in real time through the analogies of a spotlight and afloodlight. The standard definitions of “spotlight consciousness” and “floodlight consciousness” can also be viewed as two types of learning.
Generally speaking, we have two kinds of consciousness. One I will call the “spotlight,” and the other the “floodlight.” The spotlight is what we call conscious attention, and we are trained from childhood that it is the most valuable form of perception. When the teacher in class says “Pay attention!” everybody stares, and looks right at the teacher. That is spotlight consciousness; fixing your mind on one thing at a time. You concentrate, and even though you may not be able to have a very long attention span, nevertheless you use your spotlight: one thing after another… | ||
However we also have floodlight consciousness. For example, you can drive your car for several miles with a friend sitting next to you, and be completely absorbed in talking to your friend. Nevertheless, your floodlight consciousness will manage the driving of the car, it will notice all the stoplights, the other idiots on the road, and so on, and you will get there safely without even thinking about it. |
.
Allan Watts says we must overcome the illusion of space (between two intervals like birth at one end and death at the other) as a separate thing. People often regulate this aspect as an event in time that has no function because we have adopted a hyperrealism cosmos consisting of stars and galaxies – that has been written off because it’s too vast and infinite. However, space is the essential function within the space: “You can’t have separate stars unless there is a space around them” – eliminate the space and phenomenon, and it wouldn’t occur, and vice versa. So, the bodies in space and space are two bodies of the same continuum; they’re related together in the same way as the back and the front. When you recognise intervals as connective, you can understand how you are not just a mere flash of consciousness between two eternal darknesses.
Through common sense, you realise life is a pattern of immense complexity, and what calls yourself a living organism – that body our body is recognisable. However, as it is recognisable now, it won’t be in the future. As a flame in the candle is never a constant, but as a stream of hot gas, we say the flame of the candle as if it were a constant. As it’s recognised as a constant pattern, the spear shape outline of the flame and colourisation is a constant pattern. In this same way, we are constant patterns; the constancy lies in our actions rather than the being, like the way we dance, only there is no “we” there is only the dance. It is like a game of hide and seek because life is pulsation “on” and “off”, and by being this pulsation, we know it’s there.
The denial that we are distinct creatures—a distortion of the concept of consciousness—creates what Erich Fromm describes as “the freak of the universe.” We alone can “feel evicted from paradise.” But what is paradise? Its interpretations vary based on individual perspectives; on a deeper level, it can be seen as an unconscious connection to the inner structure of the universe—something Fromm referred to as nature. This perspective helps explain the ruling class’s disregard for the planet: decades of attempts to reshape it, exploit it, and hoard its resources, all driven by the ignorance that the interconnected whole can be reduced to its sense of psychological homelessness.
On this denial, we feel separated by the hopelessness of mortality and old age, and to counter it, they build robots for a transhumanism project (consciousness transfer to machines) or either to spawn an A.I psyche wizard. Either way, in a mythological sense, it’s a notion of denial of being evicted from the womb. Sophia and her unwanted creator-God fulfil this alienation, but unlike her shame, she gave us something to us that is heaven-sent—from here brought forth a jealous God.
Radin employs magic to reflect superstition, attempting to frame Bohm’s ontology with a vague hope of sounding empirical by associating it with the recognized figure of a prominent quantum thinker. The reference to “Bohm” represents an acceptance of magic as trivial as hyperreal rationalism. If Radin can exploit magic in this manner, it must exist at some profound, unconscious level.
Similarly, mathematics is regarded as a form of magic, as trivial as the superstitions that assert that math is reality, despite the claims of cutting-edge physics and computer science (such as quantum processing). Math serves more as an artistic utility than a direct expression of nature. The mechanics of quantum entanglement are irrelevant in developmental phases or channelling processes. How much time is wasted on misguided equations of string theory? It can only be integrated into a shared world. A quantized structure does not describe what something is or what it is composed of; rather, it delineates the motions it performs. We should keep magic confined to its fundamental aspects: the symbolic, the mysterious, the abstract, the supernatural, the spiritual, and so on.
Superpowers – Future Predications Materialising Itself on Pearly Synch Spheres: It is like hiding and seeking where life and its environment pulsate between “on” and “off” – a flickering of in and out. In this way, we notice continuity, a familiarity recognised in vibrational frequencies where fast vibrations inside a restricted space give us the impressions of solidity, and slow vibrations impress us and depress us over our life and death. Marshall McLuhan said: “We are driving a car looking at the rear vision mirror”, – meaning that the environment in which you believe exists in the present is a past one. The growth process (biology) is one in which higher orders always supersede the lower order, and the lower order cannot figure out when the higher order has taken over. This is the principle of growth and will always continue.
Regarding humanity’s existence and our surroundings, the growth process is a fundamental principle that applies to our common understanding. If we were to know the future, it wouldn’t be relevant to us, as it would already be considered the past. Any future we are aware of is merely an event we have already experienced; in this context, it is past. This reflects McKenna’s idea of “habit” as a derivative of entropy. However, our discussion focuses on time travel, and “habit” relates to that concept differently.
A Tik-Toker going by the name of @thehiddengod1, a self-proclaimed time traveller from the future, imparted some five months before the United States election that Trump would win by 67% per cent over Harris. As it happens, He won by 50% per cent – a weirdly 17% difference about the prediction. Okay, the number 17 comes up again. For the time-traveller to be correct it must have 100 per cent accuracy; otherwise, they are just predictions. Trump won the election as the time-traveller foretold to several million, but wrong on the percentage. The fundamental principle of growth had no bearing on this event – knowing the future did not change the outcome; perhaps it’s due to a mathematical discrepancy.
Trump won the election on the onset of the time-traveller prediction with the winning percentage statistic of [67% minus 50%] … 17. In his first presidency, he placed his hand on the Bible and took the oath of office on January 20, 2017 … becoming the president of the United States. He is 70 years old, 7 months, and 7 days from June 14, 1946 (his D.O.B) – January 20, 2017 [– a triple 777 astrologically charged]. Trump is also considered a time-traveller (by prediction theorists or synchs) named John Titor. His other names of other personas are John Barren and John Miller.
The connection stems from Trump’s uncle, his father’s brother John G. Trump, who was commissioned to mathematically decipher Nikola Tesla’s papers after the government acquired his work after his death. By this time [at around 1895], Tesla had made claims about time travel – Tesla liked to perform experiments on himself. There is an account where he performed one and inserted himself into a magnetic electric field. Tesla claimed he found himself in an entirely different time and space window – where he can simultaneously see the past, present, and future – while staying within this artificially created magnetic field.
Before Nikola Tesla died in 1943, his nephew came to his apartment and discovered that someone had already rummaged through his uncle’s belongings. Notably, several technical papers were missing, including a specific black notebook that the nephew knew about, which contained several hundred pages and was marked with the word “government.” Just two days after Tesla’s death, a government agency known as the United States Alien Property arrived and seized all of Tesla’s remaining work and possessions. This operation included two truckloads of papers and artefacts and 30 barrels and bundles the agency took from storage. The documents recovered were so advanced that the agency called John G. Trump to help make sense of them.
John G. Trump had indicated Tesla’s later works would lean towards speculative and philosophical areas but that workable principles or methods specific to real-life practicability had a diminished future. From here, it’s clear that a governmental smoke screen has been initialized, and it is possible that John G. Trump uncovered the secret theories. His Brother Fred’s (John’s brother / Donald’s father) vast fortunes would fund the hidden and private work on Tesla’s science. Tesla was part of a secret social group called Plus Ultra, where a group of genius men (including H.G Wells) gathered in France to discuss preserving the world of tomorrow. Donald Trump had an infatuation with Plus-Ultra symbology and their ideology scattered in his mansion.
Tesla was fascinated with a pigeon; he proclaimed he loved the pigeon as much as a human loves its partner. We have Trump in a maga-zine cover with a pigeon symbolising the pigeon, a suggestion to his family’s wealth and where they got it from. They are part of the rich capable of managing the future of world economics to where a collapse is imminent—all while the empire clings to its death ropes. The American Empire is hanging on that rope, resembling a Mussolini State where corporatism loyalty centres on a particular group and their self-interest. Intellectuals for the last 35 years had foreseen what was coming and remarked and warned of the dangers of such a moment.
As we know, Donald Trump is again president of the United States, and his most prominent endorser is Elon Musk, who owns many companies, one called Tesla. With Trump winning the presidency, impart crossing a demarcation line toward neo-fascism that is going to take decades to get out of. An unforeseen or perhaps it was predicted considering a conspiratorial supernatural theoretical notion of having a technological window to see future events imparted this possibility, now, truth. Seen or not seen, there was a dominant alt/right-wing pipeline from social media to mainstream News Corp, demoralising and brainwashing half the population with propaganda and bias analysis. There is a calm inevitability surrounding the idiocy of the populace that would formulate a symptom in a demagogue. It’s as if half the populace manifested this figure through their denial and despair.
Even when the demagogue outlines policies that propose a heavily extreme nationalist agenda, like Project 2025 and biased immigration and abortion laws – the comedy of denial lingers among the populace. Their most prominent defenders are these grifters of the right-wing pipeline fame, with some proven to be paid shills of Russia’s Authoritarian agencies. There is also Propaganda in parody, “make comedy great again”, hiding their denial about an oncoming theocracy scheme in their default setting of ignorance and believing false promises about the economy. Televangelists made it their goal to create a quality of preaching religion and moralism in the expression of context. Typically, such a fundamental phenomenon is governed by mythology and art. Unfortunately, the American populace still won’t get the point of context; edge-lords types can understand the “Joker” film – but cannot fathom “civil war” and its warnings. They don’t know because the culprit is themselves. In other words, stupidity will swap out incentives, and denial will be why they voted against their interests.
Their blind faith towards a demagogue is as unbelievable as these science/fantasy writers like E. Bulwar-Lytton of Vril, Jules Verne’s Journey to the Centre of the Earth, and H.G Wells’s Time Machine, Ingersoll Lockwood writes a science/fantasy book in 1893 called “Baron Trump’s Marvellous Underground Journey”. Today, Donald Trump’s son is named Barron Trump. In the book, Baron becomes a wealthy aristocratic boy who lives in Castle Trump. Barron is also rich and grew up in Trump Tower. Baron is guided by The Don – Master of Masters. Donald Trump’s nickname is Don, a master of masters [a Freemason] that could be president [and is president]. In the book, Don gives Baron Manuscripts a map and directions that lead him to a portal through which he can travel to another dimension and time. Portal is equal to a wormhole, unlike Tesla’s magnetic field experiment, which the Trump family can access.
Ingersoll Lockwood authored another book in 1893 called “The Last President“, which has a modern synchronistic parallel to modern times. E. Bulwar-Lytton’s Vril are inspired by Ingersoll writings that influenced the Nazi movement that commissioned the search for the Vril force. The narrative made in 1893 emerged eerily similar to the events of modernity, like the uproar over Trump’s presidency in 2017. In 2024, “you’ll never have to vote again” –a quote ever so relevant to the book’s title, making it less of a title and more of a warning. In the book, the president appoints Mr. Pence to his cabinet, and as a result, Trump selects Mike Pence as VP in 2017. Donald Trump’s father, Friedrich Trump, was part of Sonora Aero Club in the 1850s – a secret society working on anti-gravity aircraft. It’s assumed Friedrich was also a benefactor of Tesla. And, like all predictions, it becomes apparent after it has been instigated.
Of course, there is a difference between actual future predictions or (clairvoyance) and predictions that are accurate versus synchronistic symbols emerging from a universe fully aware and seeing you as radar for co-creation of sorts. Matt Groening, creator of the animated TV series “The Simpsons”, has been labelled “time traveller”, or is it a more accurate prediction based on synchronistic probabilities? Of course, he may be allowed to be part of Trump’s family’s secret clandestine legacy of future predicting technologies acquired through Tesla’s works.
We talk about the finite and the infinite, where the infinite is like Bohms’s other hidden dimension that we can tap into, like a sub-space, a hyperreal-space language equated to the subconscious. As it works in real time, we hardly take notice of it.
In the fictional book Infinite Jest, a character named Thomas M. Flatto describes the theory of Infinite Jest and why it does … and what it does. … His theory is that appeal involves density, visual compulsion, and sophisticated holography. Where you get the neural density of a stage play without losing the selective realism of the viewer screen, that density and the realism might be too much to take. Dic design data production wants us to go in with Algol to see if there is a Froier equation in the root code’s Algol that will signify holo-grammatical activity going on – to which Marathe replies: M. Fortyaye finds the theory of content irrelevant. – Infinite Jest, Wallace, F, D
The idea of density and structures are reminiscent of “Q-Star’s” and its concept of artificial intelligence in AGI and its ability to transform. AGI’s literal name for their artificial intelligence sub-set is transformers. This coincides with Infinite Jest’s “Froier”, an algorithmic A.I, in Infinite Jest that has these technological concepts where Froier their A.I also transform. There is a bizarre physical connection between the structures of language (grammar) and the use of these technological holographic lenses connected to this annular fusion. Infinite Jest is a book written in 1996, with the author foreseeing modern predicaments about artificial intelligence and quantum computing.
Infinite Jest is a book about three different storylines that all follow the same plot, each being a mirror of the other. This triad of stories centres on addictions, whether with drugs or something else, which can be about obsessiveness and overthinking. It mutates a narrative that adopts psychoanalysis (psychology) with philosophy, metaphysics, psychedelics, spirituality, etc. Infinite Jest is set for the future and is assumed their A.I is a step further than our modern A.I in comparison. Algol is short for algorithmic language but is also a Star, a.k.a Demon Star in the constellation Perseus. The Star Algol symbolizes the head of Medusa being held by Perseus in the Sky.
The author himself, Wallace, says it’s as much as addiction but more to do with the sadness that’s been infused with culture right now. It involves losing a sense of purpose or organising principles, something you’re willing to give yourself a way to. The addictive impulse in our cultural era is interesting and powerful only because it’s a noticeable distortion of the religious impulse. Or an impulse to be part of something bigger. Hal’s storyline centring on a Tennis Academy with all its varying high-tech weirdness, where Hals must become technically better to achieve x,y,z – but the guy that runs the academy is also a Fascist. Whether the book implies it or not, he is the only one there who is saying remotely non-horrifying things, except it is horrifying because he is a Fascist. The scary thing about the nihilism of contemporary culture is we are setting ourselves up with fascism because we are emptying more of our values or, somewhat, our motivating spiritual principles out of the culture. You are creating a hunger where we are driving ourselves where we accept fascism. The thing about fascists is that they will tell you what to think, what to do and feel. We, as a culture, aren’t doing this for ourselves yet. – Interview, Wallace, F, D
So we have Trump and 17 coming up again in conjunction with a time-traveller prediction, while Trump is also a supposed time-traveller himself, as John Titor. He, like Bruno, is also the solar martyr due to the assassination attempt [possible ritual] on his life. The number 17, as we know, is the numerical signifier for ‘Q’, which is the signifier for Horus, and the death ritual surrounding Horus is astro-theologically charged. It’s an Osiris/Christ sacrifice of death. Bruno is a solar martyr for Q – he is also a placeholder for the Sun, and the Sun is the first light we see in the Horizon because the Sun moves across the Sky.
At night time, however, he becomes Peruses or the Mithraic equivalent; Mithras’s replacement as he holds Algol the Demon-Star, which is the Q-Star (AGI) symbolically represented by Elon Musk, who funds algorithmic artificial intelligence program [Q-Star & AGI]. He also takes Tesla’s name for his company. Mithraism accepts ideas of androgynous transformations; Musk’s transsexual daughter had been open to the public about his lack of understanding towards his daughter’s sexuality. All of these intersect with Tesla, the supposed man who simultaneously saw the past, future, and present through his magnetic field experiment.
John Titor emerged online in 2000s forums (including a non-existent Art Bell website), claiming to be a time-traveller from 2036. He proclaimed the United States was now several divided territories after a nuclear WW3 in which atomic missiles attacked the US. The Conspiracy theory claims that John Titor is Trump, and theoretically, he saw the United States post-nuclear event in World War Three. On March 21, John Titor left our timeline; returning to 2036 before he left, he claimed UFOs are ETs that are humans visiting us from another timeline, and Dr. Dan Burisch of S4 (subset of area 51) reaffirmed this claim by differentiating aliens with ET’s – aliens are beings separate from the human race while ET’s are variations of future human races often called JRODs.
There is an alien artefact, the Yellow Orion Cube, which was recovered from UFO crash sites. This supposed quantum device is said to predict future events. Additionally, a device called the Looking Glass was discovered in Area S4. This device is believed to function as a Stargate, where space and time are folded, allowing for the convergence of timelines and predicting future events. The capacity of secret agencies to access these artefacts—natural Stargates that can foresee future events—is thought to be connected to the recovery of an ancient Sumerian Cylinder Seal found in Baghdad years ago. Whether you believe John Titor or even these intelligent agencies, just remember x-files character deep-throat accepted truth: that the truth are often sandwiched between two lies. [Read more on Post 30]
John Titor also sent a cryptic message on how NASA solved the overheating problem on your space plane. Of course, it refers to Space Shuttle Columbia that disintegrated on February 1, 23, during re-entry due to overheating issues. The shape of the smoke from the shuttle is Cancer, the constellation that happens to be Elon Musk’s Zodiac sign. The Mandalay Hotel, shaped like Cancer, was owned by Trump the Heaven or Las Vegas connection. Of course, Mandalay Bay was the stage for former C.I.A. gun runner Paddock attempting to shoot down a fuel tank of Janet Air, a private Jet that flies non-stop to Area 51. Elon would eventually do what NASA does by starting SpaceX. Elon Musk, who is a crypto-fascist, no longer hides his moral ambiguity as he sides with Trump.
David Bowie plays Tesla in the film Prestige. He is also the man who fell from earth and the man who sold the world. Kurt Cobain covered that song; he also covered Lead Belly’s “where did you sleep last night” – and apparently, Lead Belly was the first ever to use the term “woke” when he suggested staying woke to his listeners regarding nine Alabama men of colour accused of raping two white women. It meant being aware or being vigilant of your surroundings.
The active part of our intuition has less to do with mysterious forces but with our current choices, where it exercises real options. The left has been silenced and co-opted by radical cult groups stemming from the old state cults entrenched in Mithraic liturgy guided as woke, damaging what is to be liberal. All the while, extreme anti-woke groups on the right-wing pipeline outnumber their counterpart, fulfilling the same misdirection by absorbing negative nationalism. While misrepresenting the left as woke as a form of derangement, it represented a movement for self-awareness among minorities regarding the racist absurdities of that time. All the while, they are propping up a false idol from the same Masonic fervour [old state cults] that has the scope and mindset to fulfil a fascist movement. To them [state-cults], either polarising extreme does not matter.
Our language often conditions us to need to understand the true nature of the world and its patterns. In reality, we exist harmoniously with the external world as a synchronistic whole. Our limited perspective arises from our tendency to filter out anything that does not seem immediately relevant to our conscious awareness. However, it’s essential to recognise that you, as a complete individual, are more than just this momentary awareness. You are an integral part of a larger pattern. Your existence is not merely transient or destined to repeat its end; instead, you are involved in an interconnected event that plays a crucial role in the whole. Theosophy can help foster this sense of wholeness by enhancing our understanding of dimensions through the Monad scheme.
Superpowers – Magic; Monads and Dimensions: Theosophy is about the philosophy of consciousness, not forms, bodies, etc. It involves having an open mind, paying attention to the development aspects of consciousness, and standing apart from the viewpoint of evolution through form. Getting rid of ‘objective identification’ and believing that the outer sense is all there is taking the literal meaning of theosophy to a stifled state. Those who do will never understand the transcendental nature of what H.P. Blavatsky teaches.
To understand dimensions and spiritual consciousness, you must approach it on a musical scale. This can help define the “Monad” with meaning and imagery, comparing the progression of spiritual consciousness to the progression of musical octaves. The collective people go through their own process of spiritual consciousness evolution; the higher the spiritual growth, the higher the octave within the musical scale/dimensions.
The standard definition of the “monad” is the “primary unit” or “ultimate unit,” a form of mathematical (source) coding. The “monad” is a term H.P Blavatsky popularised along with William Q; they judge the term “Monad” as the application of the two highest “principles” of the inner, spiritual constitution of the human being, namely Atma and Buddhi, which are usually, termed the seventh and sixth principles of man. Atma, being pure eternal Spirit, one with the Absolute Infinite Omnipresent Divine Principle, can effectively have no connection with or influence on anything differentiated, manifested, or conditioned, except through Buddhi, the Spiritual Soul, which serves as the vehicle through which the divine light and radiance of Atma shines through to Manas, the following highest Principle that is our Reincarnating Ego, our permanent individuality, the Mind-Entity or Human Soul.
In Occultism every qualitative change in the state of our consciousness gives to man a new aspect, and if it prevails and becomes part of the living and acting Ego [not merely the personality – Martin Euser], it must be (and is) given a special name, to distinguish the man in that particular state from the man he is when he places himself in another state (Blavatsky). It seems to me very easy, on the contrary, once that you have seized the main idea, i.e., that man acts on this or another plane of consciousness, in strict accordance with his mental and spiritual condition. But such is the materialism of the age that the more we explain the less people seem capable of understanding what we say. Divide the terrestrial being called man into three chief aspects, if you like, and unless you make of him a pure animal you cannot do less. Take his objective body; the thinking principle in him – which is only a little higher than the instinctual element in the animal – or the vital conscious soul; and that which places him so immeasurably beyond and higher than the animal-i.e. his reasoning soul or “spirit.” (The key to theosophy) |
.
According to theosophy, the psychological key to man, it asks, ‘What is the faculty of man’? ‘What is the composite constitution of man’? It is essentially between ‘us’ and the Universe, the notion of ‘what is above is below’ (Hermetic axiom); it is the spiritual-material model of man. Matter as a crystallised spirit as rarefied matter, in theosophy terms. Spirit and matter are ultimately states (manifestations) of One Principle, which is the One Life force. Science recognises the fact that matter and force are convertible into one another. The perennial wisdom adds that this applies to the psychic and spiritual realms. Old thought forms can be dissolved, and the frozen can be liberated and used in new forms. (Martin Euser, 20007)
* | The circles within the egg-scheme symbolize so-called ‘monads’: sparks of the universal life-force. These are pure Spirit. The monads act as foci or knots for the stream of consciousness, that flows from the Supreme Spirit or Logos (the “Word”) at the top of our hierarchy (= most spiritual level in our hierarchy) down to the ‘grosser’ states of consciousness-matter. | |
* | We all have a ray of the Supreme Spirit in us, and this provides a way to find the path within, a way to place one’s consciousness in more subtle states of matter within our hierarchy (sphere of life). See referenced document, where the topic of the Supreme Spirit or Supreme Self or Silent Watcher is treated in the context of the egg-scheme, the seven jewels of wisdom, and, initiations. | |
* | Let me add here, that all this stuff has nothing to do with escaping reality since the spiritual planes or spheres are already present in us here and now, and it is only a matter of recognition of this fact that will help us to open our mind to these spheres, influences, within ourselves and learn to give expression to these energies! In order to manifest themselves, these monads need to make use of a dual pair of organized consciousness-matter. This dual pair is split up in the egg-scheme at the left-hand side (vehicular aspect = ‘soul’, carrier of consciousness) and at the right-hand side (Ego or centre of consciousness). | |
* | Each ego in this scheme expresses the evolved faculties of the corresponding ego-emanating monad. The divine ego expresses far more faculties than the personal ego. Likewise, we as persons have evolved more qualities of consciousness than the animal monad, which forms a necessary part of our constitution. We need it and, of course, our body in order to express ourselves in this world. The arrows pointing to the various monadic centres indicate the fact that these centres have developed self-consciousness. The animal soul has not yet done that. It follows blindly the impulses and suggestions given to it by the personality. | |
* | One’s personal consciousness is centred in one’s personal ego. The following table shows in a nutshell some of the developed qualities of consciousness of the diverse monads. (Martin Euser, 2007) |
.
Divine Monad: The Divine Monad is about the Inspiration of Unity-consciousness, and the spiritual monad is about our inner god or higher self. This monad’s range of consciousness encompasses all the planes (inner and outer) of our galaxy, the Milky Way. (Martin Euser, 2007)]. There is truth in the notion of our consciousness being part of a collective plane. However, the Inclusion of Galaxies and the Milky Way in an intellectual approach gives it less Validity. The Big Bang approach is in the realms of Scientism falsity; you will find more truth in Genesis and Astrology. As a foundation along with the Zetetic teaching, this is a better fit for the divine monad. The spiritual monad: enlightenment-principle (the understanding of intuition, Buddhi, also known as the (holy) guardian Angel, these ranges of consciousness adhering to the solar system. These need to be revised, as satellization in a Galileo model is a false one. The planets are moon-like celestials that traverse the same way the moon and sun do under the firmament. This monad, which forms the basis of the divine monad, is exclusive to the heavenly world, space not being a macro but a finite second heaven as described in Genesis. We must realise that we live in an enclosed system to grasp an authentic world, a stage of human beings. Then, these two monads can have an absolute spiritual line of evolution of the human being.
Higher human monad: The higher human monad is about vitality, emotion, the higher aspect of thinking and theunderstanding faculty. It acts as the parent of the personal monad; in the range of consciousness, itpertains to all the planes of the earth, more so over the physical world alone. The higher human ego and the higher human soul together can be called a ‘son of mind’; in Sanskrit, it is called Manasaputra (mana is mind, Putra means son); this is the noetic mind (higher Manas) that’s been developed to such a large degree. This being is said to have sparked the human thinking organ of the human being aeons ago. Remember that the notion of fire differs from what we otherwise understand today. We see fire as terrestrial, but fire for the noetic being/mind is more elemental.
The Prometheus myth is closely associated with the higher human monad; this ancient Greek myth is about Prometheus stealing the sacred fire from the Gods of Olympus, giving it to humanity, and being punished for it. Through further theosophical study, we can make the parable of Prometheus a hidden meaning that can be better understood. Prometheus’s having the sacred fire can be considered the faculty and power of thinking about the nature of fire. Epimetheus, the brother of Prometheus, can be viewed as the infant of humanity with its thinking faculty in an un-evolved state. Prometheus symbolises the inner Manasaputra (the higher human ego); Prometheus is chained to a rock: the Manasaputra is synchronistic and in-tuned to the earth’s plain but has its grid. The in-between of the Gods and the human kingdom, another way to view this is in the crucified Christ event, where one of the penitents describes that his punishment of condemnation is just because it corresponds to their crimes, he said [“this man has done nothing criminal.” 42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” 43 He replied to him, “Amen I say to you today you will be with me in Paradise.” 23:39-43] this scenario is the recognition of his Father in Heaven (the Manasaputra is a Christos, baptised with the spiritual light of the spiritual monad) as his parent monad and intermediary to divine spheres of being. Through theosophy, the crucifixion story is a literalisation of the event of a Fourth-degree initiation, symbolised in the form of drama-play in the Ancient Mystery Cults of Greece. In further elaboration, Prometheus may be an archetypal image of Jehovah.
Prometheus’ liver being picked out by an eagle is explained through esoteric terms; it has to do with passion, the eagle with the activated thinking faculty active in the Element of Air (the element of communication in alchemical symbolism). The main consensus through the interpretation of this symbol is the transformation of the passions (kamamanas or desire-thinking). Another way to describe it … is the evolvement of the noetic mind, not the cortical intellect (but its servant – beware of arrogance, cynicism and scepticism: the characteristics of one-dimensionally evolved intellect). The Manasaputra (“Prometheus”) was made to suffer for his connection with the particular human being because Prometheus projected a part of his consciousness onto them; the human being, the personality, is so immersed in gross passions in the psychic world. This being of light is then affected like a parent suffers when their child makes a mess of their life. The Prometheus myth is a symbol for the second line of the evolution of the human being: the evolution of Manas.

Occultism and the Living World (08)
Mystics & Artist-Prophets:
.
.
Superpowers—Blavatsky Chooses Heaven over the Earth: Blavatsky is one of these [artist-mystics] elites who can bring spirits down to earth. She was beyond your average spiritualist of that time, especially in New York. She was a magician rather than a medium—she didn’t allow her body to be used as a tool for messaging between the spirit worlds. Instead, she commands the spirits and makes these things happen.
She continued to work by the end of her life; Blavatsky, however, had fallen victim to a cancel culture of her time alongside being portrayed as a plagiariser and charlatan, but those remarks didn’t faze her all that much. A particular friend became resentful of Blavatsky’s success; her friend gave some letters outlining how they would hoodwink people to some Christian missionary magazine. What did bother her was being rumoured to be a Russian spy. Blavatsky wasn’t dependent on their family’s money. She had always earned her keep by being a magazine writer or creating her own ink business – she had a progressive or blue-collar mindset. She’s the opposite of someone like Crowley, who was dependent on family’s money, a position whose likeness engulfed upper-class capitalistic fervour – she neither delved into these types of hand-outs nor (sexual) ritual debaucheries.
Today, debaucheries (in the form of abuse, rape and harassment) are made public through allegations implicating anyone high in authority from politicians and celebrities, and as we discussed in the last post concerning our fondness for the arts in particular pop/rock/hip-hop/r&b songs are not made by the familiar artist you thought you knew, but by an embedded spirit in the form of an old man. Of course, the old man in Under the Silver Lake parallels the Matrix’s Architect, a personification of the Demiurge.
The embedded old man is a symbolic subconscious suggestion that implies your imaginative faculty can be controlled. We also concluded this is a fallacy because intuition and imagination are like water in a vast ocean, purely a natural force too large to grasp and control. And even if you tried, we can see this analogy in the sea of algorithmic [adaptive] information where data are collected to be dispensed for market value – this is a type of control over our minds. However, given how water is fungible, your intuition and imagination are also fluid – and given how intuition works in real-time as a function of need in a limited time. Jung states:
Intuition seeks to discover possibilities in the objective situation – It also an instrument which, in the presence of a hopelessly blocked situation, works automatically towards the issue, which no other function could discover |
.
The old man represent Control, and in Star Trek discovery season two the main antagonist was Control an artificial intelligence – in Stargate we have the replicaters. In both examples their function is to be an allegorical representation for authoritarian and dominance. Our problem stems from our symbiotic relationship with [information/other] technology that permits or integrates our intuition with civilisation, but has limits concerning our affairs. For the moment this is not how it’s envisioned because the conspiratorial notion that’s it’s going to overrun us is too high in that these technocratic elites is going to succeed with their enterprise of transferring consciousness to A.I adaptive machines. It’s a conflict between reality and the way we pretend to manage reality. We can break away from this approach towards a defeatist future if we build a space for our intuition to exist. We start by limiting the romanticism of conspiratorial appeal towards managers of perception.
There is also a clear difference between A.I adaptive behaviours and intuitive acts, Jung’s notion of inherited thought patterns is contrasted against A.I Adaptive behaviours – and that is A.I go nowhere because the collective unconscious cannot be derived from ones and zeros. Thought patterns require a bio-genetic component integrating biology and technology, which can only be accurate in fiction. The mineral and the bio are external components that feed data to machines, including A.I in computers, these are the facts bound to rationality for the moment, and maybe forever, meaning unchangeable.
In the Tree of Life, Intuition is Binah or Saturn, and it’s no surprise Binah is also known as the Great Sea or the Mother Supernal. Saturn is also a [celestial] gateway. What it all points to is that intuition is like a delivery system for Gnosis or the spark for the divine. And we know that Sophia recognised in her [progeny] mistake in the form of the Demiurge [creator-God], who creates a material world despite his banishment. She confessed her sin to the other lights of the Aeons, and then she implanted seeds of divinity from the source that would grow into her mistake’s creation. Having had this infusion, they can now escape from the torture of life on earth. Of course, there are distinctions between gnostic groups, especially among Sethian and Valentian. One [Sethian] sees the creator as a wilful or [Satanic] creator, while Valentian sees Him as merely imperfect and acting out of ignorance. The words of Christ are the word of Gnosis – we know the Greek for Gnosis is knowledge [divine knowledge] that is saved.
Regarding Blavatsky and her intuition, it is clear that she possessed extensive textual knowledge and a solid common sense understanding. This means she was adept at analytic and rational thought with the precise instrumental structures below reason. Blavatsky demonstrated the ability to explore the astral plane by focusing her concentration. It is essential to recognise that she had a unique psychological insight, which can be described as a “superpower.” While she was indeed “talented,” this is evident in her ability to integrate her skills with a doctrine that paralleled her interests in materialistic science, all while navigating the challenges posed by the solid Christian theology of her time. She did not react defensively to these challenges but often anticipated and addressed scientific ideas before they became main-stream.
Although Blavatsky’s first focus was on the Western Esoteric Tradition with deep familiarity with Hermeticism, Kabbalah, and Masonry, her first book, Isis Unveiled [1877], is a long, discursive study of these themes. She had beaten the scientist to the punch because she had already immersed herself in these Western traditions. For example, the esoteric notion found in the Secret Doctrine:
The Eternity of the Universe in toto as a boundless plane … ‘the playground of numberless Universes incessantly manifesting and disappearing.’ – Blavatsky |
.
Through Blavatsky’s statement, you can see where hyperreal science [scientism] invokes an infinite universe. As we know, astronomy and physics are quantifying universe language based on maths. Still, it’s a debasement on natural science as astronomy-physics [and hyperreal-space] is all but theoretical, professing itself as fact. Blavatsky’s quote is far more ambiguous – it’s more about how behind these [planets] planes lies an Absolute “an Omnipresent. Eternal, Boundless, and Immutable Principle,” – which manifests in dual form, as “Spirit” and “Matter”; the interplay of these two forces causes all things to be.
Dee and Bruno imparted a less evolved interpretation of the universe that was later refined through heliocentric academics. The Aristotelian model had to be discarded in favour of misaligning our centre. It was a spell crafted on materialistic pseudo-celestial language to dispel the spirit and prop up sub-atomic particles to act like cosmic solar systems or vice versa. Of course, this inference came from Blavatsky’s abstract; her notion did not discard the soul or cosmic gods that abstract is about involution and evolution. Of course, evolutionists borrowed from this concept. She states: “All of existence is taking part in the enormous cycle of descent of Spirit into Matter and its eventual return to the bosom of the Absolute.
I’ve stated that it might have been a mistake for her to combine occult traditions with the emerging materialistic science of her time, which became more pseudo in our present time. The pseudo would streamline aspects of physics (meta-physics), astrophysics, astronomy, and evolution; that’s not to say all these subjects have no relation to truth. Instead, they’re like a subset of subjects that are inferior regarding an esoteric past but may have a better fit in modernity when building rationality for facts. These subset subjects, however, have an imperfection in the process in which they identify themselves as factual or non-fiction but inherently proceed to become more fiction but unrecognised within traditional myth or even meta-fiction (apocryphal truths).
Blavatsky would not have predicted this imperfection. Nevertheless, she had the imagination to keep the fluidity of competing abstracts of that time. She had imagined the other and placed herself within their language, and from those competing swirling forces, she could conceive her place within the whole. Henri Bergson, an early-twentieth advocate for intuition, reinforces this idea with his quote:
We Grasp at the same time how the two are opposed and how they are reconciled. – Henri Bergson |
.
In this form of imagining the whole, she must decide and act—it’s an action that is not rational, beyond common sense (or shared knowledge), and free of memory. This is the intuitive act. You can also say it’s that gnostic spark, the gift given from Sophia [wisdom], trying to grasp where it is and where it wants to be.
As Eastern tradition found itself on the waning end of popularity, at the same time Western conventional Christianity was on the back foot of a rising materialistic science, she repackaged the rejected Western tradition of esoteric occult knowledge and the philosophy of Hermeticism, Kabala, and Rosicrucianism. Alongside her trip to India, she popularised a version of Eastern tradition in the West.
The secret groups that flourished in Bavaria, like Rosicrucianism and Illuminati, were Protestant groups in protest against the Jesuits of the time. It has become, in the modern West, at least among Christian Conspiracy Circles –organisations that are part of a worldwide conspiracy. Not only did these secret groups last until the eighteenth century, but they were also formulations made famous in the late 90s when gaining truth became like a romantic hero’s journey. This scapegoating or blame-shifting ran superfluous as the question of whether the fraternity existed [especially Rosicrucianism] – like an earnest lawyer ready to impart guilt when empirical and actual doubt is prominent; the truth cannot be buried. However, according to researchers, ‘yes’ Rosicrucian fraternities existed [although they only have the three Confessio Pamphlets as evidence]. However, modern Rosicrucians have no direct link to any early secret Rosicrucian society of the early seventeenth century. [Richard Smoley said just because there is no proof does not mean there is no link].
It became an entertaining pastime as most accusations couldn’t hold the truth. In modernity, this CFCT and traditional Christians only show their hand in contradictions. Perhaps it was a product of time; the awareness of a Globalized New World Order now in collapse needed to attach itself to the villain role, and because most of the enthusiasm came from fundamentalist Christians, the villain must have an esoteric or occult link. Their religiosity of Christendom and reason for existence is because of the protestant Christian enterprise. Their villain is responsible for their existence. The protestant Christian enterprise was also in protest of the Church, which CFCT also despised. Today, we know not to rely on these demoralised Christians, easy to manipulate, Lacking discernment, unable to detach them-selves from agenda-driven Network News, prone to follow or hero-worship a demagogue – unaware of a fascist movement on their doorstep urged on by their own demoralisation.
Intellectuals have all indicated that being vulnerable to a demagogue was the symptom or consequence that has been plaguing America’s marginalised population for quite a long time. Their ignorance is beyond ridiculous as most of their knowledge is derived from memes, often short-lived, biased and propaganda-based. The difference between memes and archetypes has never been so significant to recognise. Modern propaganda in the political landscape on both sides, seen through a top-down hierarchy, indicates a Navy Militancy and military-industrial alongside an intelligence agency with the national security running the show over governance and billionaires. Yet all institutions seemingly aligned regarding astrology, rituals and star magic) are highly informed by their paid sibyls, oracles, and guides – on the reassurance that the stars comfort them and that the gods are backing their particular righteous cause. There is a strange parallel among the ruling elites and accelerationism for civilisation to fall through technology and governance matches Christian fundamentalist bemusement on their Christian apocalyptic end time; for both it needs to happen.
Blavatsky and Theosophy were consolidated within a Christian conspiracy setting stemming from the same reactive conspiratorial concern. Often regulated to subjects discussing occult philosophy and magical spiritual Western traditions have many associations or influences from Rosicrucians. Even in that case, you would have to make the connections between every initiated and non-initiated Globalist member and what they hold in a metaphysical sense. Masonry is not Rosicrucianism, although it mimics the same or a variation of initiation path. Blavatsky said that members of Rosicrucianism must study a scheme of initiation into the Kabbalah and higher magic of the Western or hermetic type. Often, there was a substantial membership test with two-thirds failing upon trial because she said, “the Rosy-Crux becomes and is not made” – meaning, you have to put a lot of effort before entry to the membership. In other words, there needs to be a prerequisite for superpowers.
It’s like assuming the culprit’s likeness for a particular song in contrast to each different religiosity, so, therefore, you must be part of a worldwide agenda even though you’re far apart and your only link is in likeness to religiosity or to a particular song. Top religions are similar but never really follow the same method. This reactive concern may be caused by past Rosicrucian and Theosophical members taking what they learnt and particularising it to their own ideological, often fantastical sect. This is a concern that these masters may not have envisioned for their students. Writers like Baily, Crowley, Hubbard, etc., are examples that can cause concern.
After Blavatsky passed away, theosophy would become splinted, and the concern made about theosophy is apparent, but made after her death. By this time, the society had been splintered into several groups. And you can determine that Blavatsky, with her intuition and unmatched imagination, would not have approved or followed such a debasement to her work. Remember, she had consolidated Occult magical philosophy with its emphasis on the imagination/intuition alongside cosmic mapping (an Illuminati heliocentric cosmology & evolution of her time), and Eastern mysticism has a particularity on establishing old grounds made new – alongside her intuition, imagination, and emotions produced a new set ideas and thoughts. By this alone, it’s clear she chooses heaven over the earth.
Superpowers – The Search for the Vril Force via Blood, Sugar, and Sex-Magic: This debasement to her work would lean into a modern concern related to an “esoteric agenda.” Theosophy was not helped by a German secret society named Vril, founded at the end of the First World War – whose members were known to be part of the Nazi regime. A dark fellowship of members that wanted to achieve the mastery of the Aryan race – of course, before these members became part of Vril, the society was about Aryan power but had nothing to do with any Nazi white/race ideology. Nevertheless, the methods in which Vril ran things garnered the attention of the Nazis. It ranged from political assassinations by invoking the spirit of the dead to sexual rituals and sacrifices.
There is an obsession with an intangible power force called “Vril.” This power was said to be a universal force that can heal and extend superpowers’ likeability. In many ways, a parallel spiritual concept of Prana or Chi, and it’s understood they could harness this energy force, and gaining it would also grant them the ability to acquire material power. They first used sex magic rituals as a means to find this force – this carnal method of trying to harness Vril didn’t have the effect they wanted. It did influence a nationwide coitus program of infidelity in which an increased population size was developed to make for the loss of soldiers in the war. They believed children were closer links to spiritual forces and saw them as gateways to the astral world. As a result, marginalized kids from the edges of Bavarian society “suddenly” started to disappear.
Of course, we know Vril came from a science-fiction novel, “The Coming Race” – Edgar Burroughs wrote this concept. The books describe an underground race named Vrilya, who completely masters the Vril (electro-fluid) force. It was science fiction, but it is derived from a symmetrical aspect of fiction, meta-fiction, which you would find in Apocryphal texts. Its apparent elements of Nazi ideology stem from Burroughs Vril’s novel – the superior race in connection with the Aryan race manifested in the Nazi mindset. From here, the Vril society was born, ranging from a collection of occultists and High German-ranking nationalists to an inner circle called “the all-German Society for Meta-Physics” in short, the Vril-Society.
Founders of the Vril, one in particular, adopted a messiah complex as one went by John the Baptist – John being the first template of the true messiah to come. A saviour complex where they believed they alone could save a country – they involved female mediums in their groups tasked with uncovering occult truths and harvesting Vril. They foresaw a dark shadow, a leader who would wear the name of Fuhrer, a megalomaniac who would lead the country. This leader would eventually be part of the inner circle, although he would see it only as a tool to give him rise as an established leader. Aside from that, it was the introduction of Jorg Lanzvon Liebenfels, whose concept and writings of the debased version of Theosophy known as Ariosophy that instilled this (anti-Semitic) propaganda to the world.
Between 1888 and the 1920s, it was a time of secret societies and spiritualism spreading throughout Europe. Mystics like Blavatsky had an impact with her prolific work that would later be centred on Theosophy (a combination of science and religion). Liebenfels misconstrued her notion of a superior Aryan race as a propaganda piece. Her Aryan race was centred on the Indo-Aryan race, meaning Noble, which evolved further spiritually than other races. By this time, it was too late. The misrepresentation took hold. It is said the secret doctrine had sold more copies in Germany. The Nazi regime even followed Blavatsky’s quest by travelling to Tibet as they believed the Aryan forefathers were deep under the Himalayan Mountains. They found out that this enterprise, one of many, would weaken the country’s finances. Nonetheless, they acquired something from the country, the Tibetan Swastika symbol, and imposed a debasement on the original imagery while appointing their new meaning onto it.
This was a time of secret societies; many dissipated, and some became subsets. Its well-known project paper clip was established where groups of Nazi scientists had a get a jail-free card for establishing the needs of the CIA. The Nazis had their own UFO project establishing a nuts-and-bolt version of flying saucers. America saw itself as wanting to reach space, and this would lead to the Rocket program that Jack Parsons had a hand in. Parsons had associations with Crowley. Both were part of a sex cult. This project leans into the practical side of a subset version of that alchemical dream that the Illuminati Council had established in heliocentrism – this time, the practical side of that dream would come to fruition – the idea to conquer space became real.
Superpowers – The Hyperreal Cosmos Meme-Math Magic: We’ve established that Blavatsky is a magician with psychic abilities and profound knowledge and intuition – although she wasn’t inherently prophetic, she was more mystical and practical. It’s helpful in terms of what she had put down on paper. Blavatsky seems among the last non-members yet deeply inspirational among the Illuminati Council that laid out the cosmology and anthropology that are universally revered and still seen today (the heliocentric cosmos).
What can be folded into this Illuminati Council that redefined the current cosmology from flat land to a spherical one started from Bruno’s psychedelic assumption that stars are Suns, basically, at the death end of the alchemical dream and beginnings of Rosicrucian movements who had the desire to bring about a religious, moral and social revolution based on hermetic philosophy. The Rosicrucian movement is a re-emergence of the same alchemical dream that died but was made new in a different order. Still, it was not founded by Hermeticism this time but through Bruno’s false assumption, a protestant subset. It would instigate a Galileo worldview that will last until to this day – this subset became more materialistic science and more masonic. The world became about spheres, planets, solar systems, and galaxies – and in modernity, black holes, galaxies, and dark matter, the heavens became (a hyperreal) space. The current worldview has come to realise this subset’s apparent malarkey dysfunction, which is counterintuitive to actual science.
Aside from semantic details regarding flatness, curvature, transfixed Earth vs. rotating Earth, the star-constellation & celestial movement, etc., the spirit’s main ascendance to higher forms of monads is in parallel. This notion of infinity is the first fundamental proposition or spell that was enchanted. In a hyperreal space model, they had to dislodge Earth’s universal centre and swap it with the sun.
The Rosicrucian methodology still took most of its ideas from Aristotelian Physics 300 centuries before Christ. The Aristotelian universe is about structuring the cosmos into concentric spheres with the earth at the centre. The Kabbalah system was also about spheres, though more of an internal approach. At around the same time (give or take a century), there was Mesopotamia of Alexandra/Agora, a mathematician who had tackled the question of the earth/sun centre of the universe. The film starring Rachel Weisz called Agora suggests she did do so. Of course, there is no proof of this. There are only indicators towards the fact. Ptolemy heavily influenced Hypatia and Eratosthenes’s works. Her work, which entails a review of Appolonius on Conics (about circles and eclipses), also edited a new edition of Ptolemy’s Algemist, which indicates she would have at least approached the idea.
The film imparted she came up with the elliptical orbits through a moment of clarity upon looking at the conics (geometries that can be derived from the cone). Still, that information would’ve been available to begin with. So can a parabola (u-shaped curve), which is a ball’s path, describe when you throw it? Put the Sun at the centre of the Solar System, and suddenly, you can use the same basic ideas to describe motion anywhere in it. Once elliptical orbits were proposed in the seventeenth century, progress in motion study followed quickly. In the film, this revolutionary possibility is represented by Hypatia doing experiments by dropping a sack from the mast of a moving ship. However, this experiment is merely about forces (f=mv2/f=mv2/r), linear, and angular speeds. Angular speeds allow dropping a sack from the mast of a moving ship the possibility of moving earth when it combines speed and momentum. The transfixed quality of the world is still present; the ship does not suddenly become the earth.
Math is not reality; math is a language; “the things we assume to be true in math are called axioms, and a hypothesis we come up with isn’t more likely to be true if it better explains or predicts what we observe. Instead, it’s true because we say it is,” For example, one can create an equation where an elephant can hang on to a cliff holding on to a single branch, and math can say this is possible; reality knows better, though. Math can be derived in many ways to show something – the illusion of truth or truth, depending on your beliefs. – Vsauce, “How to count past Infinity (video).”
How does one measure something unmeasurable? They do it by building collections or languages of things. Also, by thinking of infinity as a set size of numbers and comparing infinity to other infinities, you do it by taking a size set and putting a number on it; each set size is known as cardinality (Georg Cantor method). This method eventually gets to a point where set theory must ask: can there be a universe of all-sets when there are no sets of all-sets? They add additional axioms but are bounded by a too-large set (infinity without measure so large it’s immeasurable even in standard AI/quantifying computer level). So, they make a cut-off point and measure only more minor things.
In philosophical terms, trying to measure the reach of God from the backdrop of their infinity hypothesis is impossible. Astro-Gnostics answered this problem by advocating the centre of the hyperreal universe is the entrance or the Pleroma. Trying to pass our stratosphere is also impossible. So you enclose it, or you flatten it. You get to a place where infinity can be measured only at a microcosm level. If any underlining data or math is still left over from the hyperreal, you can use the Cantor method to eliminate unwanted infinities.
The certainty of continuum hypotheses (possible sizes of infinite sets) is that they will never be realised, and you will never know whether they are true or false. The hypotheses are not sufficient enough to know one way or the other. A scene in Agora where the Roman stewards were scattering to save scrolls and books and the amounts of data they had accumulated regarding astronomy bear no significance. Astronomy/Astrophysics have become or always been, but not realised due to the misconceptions of that era; nonetheless, pseudoscience now and has always been.

When I discuss folding the Rosicrucians into the Illuminati Council, I refer to this new emergence of the dead alchemical dream that Dee initiated. A protestant subset of the Rosicrucian order involved gathering these renascence thinkers and gestating a seed of doubt that would grow ever more sophisticated in their mathematical language. That lasted through the Reformation, into the Enlightenment, and then to modernity. Bruno and Newton gave more credence to other works, such as Bruno’s geometry of language and Newton’s work on enneagrams. They are still part of this subset.
A subset that influenced other thinkers into the modern fray, only to come up to a dead end or, in mathematical terms, a cut-off point, meaning the circuit of return comes rushing back to its source. Centuries of data are gained, and nothing definitive is answered because nothing in their field uses the scientific method. They use leaps of logic or guesswork. Having seeded that doubt for five hundred centuries and engrained in our memories and genetics, the need to disenchant the demoralised on their alchemical spell will take work and persistence. The backlash would ultimately be about questioning the topography of the earth but ultimately about upholding the death ropes of a redefined alchemical Protestant dream.
The implication is that this must be a Jesuit Plot. However, given that Father George Lemaitre, a Jesuit priest, came up with the Big Bang Theory, this is an unlikely claim. They are all in it together. During the Reformation, there was an endeavour to implement a heliocentric view, but the Jesuit contributions came after the re-emergence of the dead alchemical dream made new in the Illuminati Council of the Rose and the Cross—now, in modern scientism.
From here on end, there is an attempt to grasp magical thinking with quantification and mathematics, which leads to nowhere because magic/mysticism and science should not mix; alchemists knew that’s why they had categorical subjects within the alchemical workings (the lab; the spirit, and the psychology). They should not mix, but is there room for intuition in science? There is since animism is a great defender of science and science for animism – that is, if science stops bedding with scientism.

Mathematics and sciences are designed to explain the reality of hyperrealism and are made towards your conscious reality to lock you down. While mainstream religion locks down your subconscious, God being the infinite all there is which can be seen as the allegory for your subconscious. Making the conscious the finite and the subconscious the infinite, where both finite/ infinite subconscious are sold back to you by these elite managers of perception. Mathematics has an artistic quality to it; it’s just sometimes engendered towards an agenda, and just like the entertainment business, there is a balance between the imaginative commitment and their grant holders.
Hermetic understanding equates planetary divinities with lineages of their chain of being from the celestial world down to the material world, like the Sun’s connection to Gold and all the other planets. So, when you look at the phenomenal world, you start to see things from that perspective. You begin to see these divine lineages working or weaving through material reality. If you want to work with a divine form, choose its extensions into this world. In order to truly grasp it, you need to take your position that’s been dislodged back to the centre.
Blavatsky once said: “the progressive development of everything, Even Atoms, is taught.” Even atoms are taught to fold in the quantum world. She meant that the unknown is the source of knowledge where she is being taught (something out there is giving her these sensory informative perceptions) alongside her development of consciousness. This is significant because it matches the same processes as these mathematicians when they come up with their truths. This means people with spiritual access can develop the same spiritual truths; Blavatsky gave the methods to reach these spiritual processes. In the secret doctrine, she proposed three fundamental axioms:
One – there is an absolute reality beyond our conditioning or ability to think about it (beyond comparison). A state of immutability, a state of independence towards the other – or in other words, a centre of poise; mystics also describe it as a god-hood beyond God. Two – The absolute universality of the love periodicity, of flux and reflux, (wax and wane) ebb and flow, which physical science has observed and recorded in all departments of nature. It’s about the cyclical nature of things, death and rebirth, the rise and fall of civilisations, etc. Three – The obligatory pilgrimage for every Soul – a spark of the Universal Over-Soul – through the cycle of Incarnation (or “Necessity”) following Cyclic and Karma law. It’s about transcending the self (experiencing life in a separate form) – my soul reflects this universal principle in my body. That reflection is the principle, the awareness of unity, and you become aware of the whole through raising your consciousness. The spirit must then experience separateness to recognise I am from I am the whole. We can escape the incarnation cycle when we realise the truth of our nature, which is the truth of the universe. |
.
Blavatsky’s intuitive ability is like a grandmaster chess player who can imagine several moves ahead and extrapolate from each opponent’s reactionary move. She may not have folded all the defragmented spells of material science and scientism, only those that are partial to magical understanding.

Occultism and the Living World (07)
Mystics & Artist-Prophets:

.
Superpowers – The Real Madame Web & Theosophy: The timeline of 120 years, following from the 1500s to the beginning of the 30-year war, was a constant effort in parts of Europe to change society forward into a magical revolution. Europe of the 11th and 12th centuries was ruled by scholastic rationalism; witchcraft was unknown and was merely a curiosity or folktale for some. From the 15th and 16th centuries, this tremendous proliferation of magical thinking evolved into systems of magical ideas. Along with it came social hysterias relating to the interest in these magical ideas like witchcraft, alchemy, conjuring, and magic.
After Rosicrucianism came, a new resurgence of occultism emerged in the New World [New Atlantis]. As we covered in the last post, it was supposed to be a nation where the mystical and metaphysical would garner a new identity—further propelled through several secret societies [like Freemasonry] pursuing a similar scope of the Rose and the Cross. It would be an interpolation of the landscape and a mystical and metaphysical understanding. What is a standard fact is that there was “some kind” of esoteric doctrine that likely had a role in its foundation within the British colonies, which became the United States. Then, the Puritans arrived, along with Protestant Christianity, which would fracture into denominations across the East of America. From the early 16th century to independence in 1776, Freemasonry became less secret as an anti-masonic movement that would sweep the nation by the 1820s.
We must remind ourselves Rosicrucianism embodies the ideal of protestant-Christianity alongside a parallel ideologue of [pseudo] science like [the solar martyr] Bruno’s heliocentric idea. This pseudo-understanding of the cosmos would dominate the Western world and introduce other pseudo-ideas like evolution. By the early 1870s, New York and most of the country except maybe for the Bible belt, along with a rising movement of spiritualism and Eastern mysticism [thanks to theosophy], most had accepted this pseudo-materialistic understanding.
In 1873, in rural New York, two sisters, Lea and Margret Fox, declared that they contacted spirits beyond the grave by using the technique called séance. Those groups became more popular when a Russian-born woman by the name of Madam Blavatsky arrived in New York and became the figurehead of the spiritualism movement. Later, she became a leading authority in ancient occult secrets. She grew up in an occult world where her father had already established a collection of occult libraries. She saw the connections between different cultures and spiritual teachings and was tempted to correct the errors in Christianity by bringing in mysticism and spirituality from other cultures.
She popularised occultism into a worldwide movement when she founded the Theosophical Society [an esoteric spiritual organisation Blavatsky started in 1875 in New York]. Several members of the society would continue the work on occultism on their own, authoring their works. Blavatsky was born in Ukraine in 1831 into a family of nobility, and at around 17/18, she ran away from an unconsummated marriage with an older man. For the next twenty years, she wandered the world in search of mystic knowledge. Before that, she was fascinated by the occult library that her great-grandfather had. Her great-grandfather was part of a secret society called Russian Freemasonry in the late 18th century. They had a political side, a transformative vision of Europe, and a utopian progressive society. It was a group preoccupied with overthrowing the Church and the monarchy of the time. She was fascinated by the secret group having secret knowledge, these masonic laws and mysterious high-ranking figures having a hand in society.
As a child, Blavatsky claimed she had strange otherworldly experiences like visions, encounters with spirits, and memories of past lives. On some occasions, these types of spirits acted as guardians. There was a time as a child when she put her own life in danger so that these spirits would save her life from these possible accidents that would have otherwise killed her. She didn’t understand what these spirits were until she was an adult. By then, she recognised that these spirits were not spirits but the actions of these psyche Hindu masters. She would later travel around the world trying to seek these masters out.
She later met these mysterious masters when she visited India and saw them in person. Upon getting to know them, she referred to them by their name, Morya and Koot Hoomi. These guys were said to teach her psychic abilities. She stayed in Tibet, studying various spiritual practices and mastering her secret powers. By this time, a lot of controversy surrounded these figures, and Blavatsky herself was fond of producing such phenomena. It is a story in which she had visited her father and brother before settling in New York; her brother was a university student and was sceptical, and rationale he doubted her ability. As a result, Blavatsky points at the coffee table and says, “I can make that so heavy that you won’t be able to lift it” – her brother goes over and picks it up very easily. Then she stared at it with concentration and said, “No” Her brother tried to lift it but was unable to, neither his friend could lift it, both at the same time couldn’t lift it – then she let it go, suddenly it jumped into the air, her brother almost breaking his arm in doing so.
At this time, ‘spiritualism’ had become a type of craze both in Europe and the United States in the late 1840s, which carried on to the early 1870s. Blavatsky, however, stood apart from that as she was more of a magician than a medium. She had control of things; she wasn’t passively being used as a voice from the spirits of the other side who would come into the mediums and speak to them. She was commanding the spirits.
She often described this other self as a vivid encounter with her other [or spiritual twin or possession] when she was living with her companion Colonel Olcott, where he described watching her as she was working – and at times claimed that her appearance would change/morph in real-time, changes, from hair to face. Suggests that she had a second personality that she could somehow invoke or allow to manifest in her, and it would write some of the passages. A case study suggested she had used quotes from famous books to which she had no physical access. The story says that she would access these information quotes by gazing at her concentration at a distance – meaning she would see the passages in the astral plane. A technological equivalence to the World Wide Web, but is instead ethereal. These supposed spiritual perceptions were later fact-checked by someone accessing the Vatican Library; her quotes did indeed match. Meaning there is confirmation regarding pre-cognition or psyche abilities.
When we discuss a technological equivalence to the World Wide Web, we are talking about something ethereal, similar to the ether, but closer to the scientific language, which is the magnetic field and its ethereal parallel akashic records. These are where your stories in history are archived, and this field is visually symbolic of the spider’s Web and its weaving. The spider or the spider-man represents Kwaku Anansi [Akan folklore], who connects to the history or his stories by accessing/weaving webs [a.k.a as magnetic fields].
Given that understanding, this makes Madame Blavatsky, Madame Web—the druids say spiders are spiritual guides. In the Spider-Man comics and animations, Madame Webguides Spider-Man to his many different multiverse versions of his spider self.
Weaving spiders goes back to an old Greek myth of an old woman weaver named Arachne who disrespected Athena/Minerva, the goddess of weaving, and failed to acknowledge her – her weaving skills came from the goddess and not from her power. And so Athena/Minerva turned her into a spider as punishment for being Argonaut. Her descendants would have to weave webs forever because she thought she was good at it. This all means or signifies – not to challenge the gods.
Christian fundamentalist conspiracy theorist [CFCT] groups have positioned theosophy [the secret doctrine] and Blavatsky as part of an esoteric agenda associated with fascism and Nazism. These tropes are often superficial, shallow, and sensational, and they’re usually uninformed of the full contextualisation and comprehension regarding the secret doctrine. There is confusion surrounding the eternal recurrence of the swastika symbol that the right-wing fascists took from her. The truth, as is often the case, is more complicated. Jorg Lanz von Liebenfels and his debased version of theosophy, which is “Ariosophy”, stole the symbol and turned it into something else. She was introducing an ancient symbol to the development of humanity, the Vedic notion of eternal recurrence. She didn’t see it as having any ethnic connotation; she didn’t see it as belonging to any programme of nationalism, and she expressed no such idea at any point in the secret doctrine.
Even though she was very knowledgeable about occult traditions, her other goal was to create an international brotherhood of humanity. It was a multi-ethnic/racial, multi-faith, pluralistic, and tolerant brotherhood of people, paralleling democratic and liberal attitudes. This came from her intrigue towards her great-grandfather and his Freemasonic roots. A utopian ideal that was spurred by a sense of romanticism, which is a far cry from Masonry today, where it’s about secret agendas, demonic/watcher worship, corporatism, hierarchies and power.
While she had relatives who could tie her into Masonry, she was clearly never part of that group—as her ambition was more about creating an open brotherhood for everyone. Madame Blavatsky/Web is a weaver, and she’s not allowed to be part of the group. The Greek Owl of Athena is a symbol of wisdom. The Romans describe Athena as the Owl of Minerva. There are steps towards the initiation process; Minerva represents the first step for the recruits.
Spider-man Homecoming was released on 7.7.2017 – the significance of the number seven is no coincidence as it signifies the Greek deity Athena and the Roman deity Minerva, both goddesses of war and city protectors. We have Spider-Man on top of the Obelisk and capstone. This is a symbolic split between the Orion Pyramids and the North Mountain. It’s combination symbol for the great Tree that was once located at the North Mountain centre, where the centre of the magnetic fields radiates. It also represents other pyramids, such as the one found in Egypt. Researchers have claimed these pyramids were set out to be built with links to either cosmic stars or relevant lay-lines.
Eva Green plays Vanessa Ives, a narrow but more attractive complement to Blavatsky; her portrayal of the Madame and the aesthetics of spiritualism of the 18th century is decent enough. As Ives clasps the spider in her hand, you can see the spider motif, a potent symbolic spider reference for the weaver.
In Post (02) of this thesis collection, we emphasise that Egyptian emblems of Throne, Yan, and Us are also Thanus/Thanos, a Titan god of war who travels in a Q-ship. Thanus/Thanos is Ra with the glove on and Yan without. The number 17, as we know, is the numerical signifier for ‘Q’, which is also the deity for Horus [son of Osiris] or Ra, although Ra is equivalent to Yahweh, creator of the worlds. Bruno was executed in a ritual death on the 17th on ‘Q’ – where Q is the signifier for Horus, and the death ritual is astro-theologically charged. It’s an Osiris/Christ sacrifice of death. Bruno is a solar martyr for Q – he is also a placeholder for the Sun, and the Sun is the first light we see in the Horizon because the Sun moves across the Sky. In alchemy, gold/sol/sun is a circle with a dot in the middle connected to the eye’s symbology. Secret Society Groups put the eye in the middle of the Triangle instead of a circle, changing the dynamic or craft [more on this later].
Trump is a Qanon mythological figure for racist conservative/republicans and Maga/Nazi sympathisers [with the vast majority of them applying for police enforcement roles and tend never to get vetted properly]; he was the clown or the fool in 2016, a joker who plays on the gullibility of Middle America’s intelligence with his Trump Card, which impart himself as heroic figure that will bring down an oligarch while all awhile is part of the same secret establishment. Today, he embodies the clown and the martyr, and when we look into the origins of the joker/clown. The joker started as the red hood reminiscent of the Rubedo from Alchemical iconography. Of course, Trump wears his famous red hat off (hat-red/hatred).
Rubedo is a Latin word meaning redness that alchemists adopted to define this fourth and final major stage in their magnum opus: the Red Sulfur, the Red Stone, the Red Elixir, and the Philosopher’s Stone. The gold and the philosopher’s stone were associated with red, as Rubedo signalled alchemical success and the end of the great work. Jung understood this idea when he suggested that the living dream state is insufficient. Jung writes, “In the state of ‘whiteness’, one does not live in the true sense of the word. It is a sort of abstract, ideal state. To make it come alive, it must have ‘blood,’ it must have what the alchemists called the Rubedo, the ‘redness’ of life. Rubedo, then, might be described as a permanent psycho-spiritual shift within the client or individual involving the appearance of objectively sensed truths. The most important relates to the relationship between the inner and outer planes, between microcosm and macrocosm or mind and matter.
As a result, an understanding of the Rubedo speaks to the functions of the Akashic Records, where objectively sensed truths must match an ethereal substantiation of facts. Blavatsky writes about life forms leaving permanent impressions we call Akasha. There is this infinitude of impressions or records like accessible photographic plates or thumbprints that are accessible as the Akashic records. Akashic Records come from Blavatsky; she mentions it in Isis Unveiled. Akasha is these ethereal substances that permeate and enter the material existence and people’s lives; it’s an ancient Vedic concept. Blavatsky says:
It is not the physical organisms that remain in status quo least of all there psychical principals during the great cosmic or even solar cataclysms, but only Akashic or astral photographs. –Blavatsky, Isis unveiled |
.
Theosophy introduced a blend of Western and Eastern mysticism, such as Buddhism, which laid the groundwork for what is now known as the New Age movement. This spiritual movement gained popularity in various countries and cities. The Tibetan Book of the Dead, a widely known spiritual text, was compiled by Evans Wentz, a theosophist. Blavatsky’s goal was to bring hermetic philosophy and understanding to the materialistic West and demonstrate the reality of phenomena that occur at séances and spiritualist gatherings. She aimed to explain that these phenomena are not caused by the spirits of the dead but rather by lingering remnants or “shells” of low-level spirits unable to move on, which echo the final events of their lives.
She had envisioned uniting her type of occult vision with the new ideas of evolution and science [which at the time was still radical]. As a result, modern times allowed the wrong aspect of evolution, which is the majority, to have a mystic-rational legitimacy. Perhaps this was a bad choice of Blavatsky’s as overlapping mysticism with science would instil incoherency; it can go two ways: one: dogmatic rationalism [either materialistic or religious] or two: damaging cults of personalities or self-annihilation. Her overall doctrine, however, was still very different to modern materialism.
Evolution regarding change and process intertwined with occult traditions, examined in the spirits upon death where spirits/souls do not wait in heaven. Our spirit/souls carry on and transform into evolutionary changes – every living thing is part of this vast cosmic universal state of processes. What she was revealing in Isis regarding evolution was adaptive behaviours, which we discussed in the first post of this thesis collection. Moreover, in both volumes of ‘The Secret Doctrine,” she contrasted the science of her time with her writings. She knew what aspects of secret doctrines matched the science of the time and what factors they didn’t. Mainly around the field of physics and less with hyperrealism of [Bruno’s] space cosmos. Also the fundamental principles of quantum physics can be traced back to the teachings found in the secret doctrines.
She authored two massive books, ‘Isis Unveiled’ and ‘Secret Doctrines’, which are the secret teachings of the Eastern Brotherhood, the mystery schools (cults) of initiations, and she altered the spiritual landscape of Western civilizations by introducing those concepts. She pioneered ideas of Eastern esotericism into the West; she focused on the similarities between Christianity and Hinduism, Buddhism and other spiritual traditions, arguing that there is, in fact, a tradition that underlies all spiritual faiths in the world.
She regarded her work as a spiritual science and made connections between recent scientific advancements and occult beliefs. She promoted the ancient Eastern mystical view that the world’s essential nature was not Matter but Energy, which foreshadowed the discovery of modern physics. She also revived the Eastern beliefs of reincarnation and karma; by this time, she acquired an occult following, which, in turn, led her to launch the Theosophy Society. The term she coined (Theosophy) comes from two words: Theos (God) and Sophia (Wisdom); the society was about teaching divine wisdom. She would then be heralded as the Mother of the New Age.
Blavatsky rose to fame and garnered charisma but ultimately fell victim to her own success. As she became more successful, séances became increasingly popular, and she felt that such events had a sense of charlatan appeal. Blavatsky wanted to distance herself from that image. However, in the end, she was accused of the very thing she was trying to fight against. She was caught faking a séance event by using spring-loaded devices above her chamber, which investigators uncovered. This revelation tainted Blavatsky’s works both before and after her death with fraud. Despite this, Blavatsky still has devoted followers due to her ground-breaking work in synthesising Eastern and Western spirituality and pushing the boundaries of occult history.
Superpowers – Theosophy & its Influence on Pop Culture: Theosophy was a movement that arose from the rise of spiritualism popularised by Blavatsky and when Blavatsky made her way to New York. After spending a while in New York, she returned to India. Afterwards, Theosophy branched out to other institutions; Steiner formed anthroposophy; he also formed a private school called Waldorf, and then there was Lucia’s Trust, formed by Alice Baily. By this time, we are in the 1920s and 1930s. This is where pulp magazines started making their way through numerous printing distributions.
Pulp magazines were short stories printed on cheap paper. They featured superheroes like the Shadow, considered a prototype of Batman, and Doc Savage. Instead of deriving their abilities from science, these characters drew their powers from the occult. The Shadow travelled to an occult land to learn from initiates and masters, where he honed his psychic abilities. He also journeyed to the occult mountains of China to learn from Zen warriors and monks, studying their fighting style and spiritual philosophy. This story arc is similar to the one in “Batman Begins,” where Bruce Wayne is mentored by Ra’s al Ghul, an intelligent warrior, Eastern mystic and supernatural practitioner.
This desire to explore the exotic and harness its power is fundamental to empire building, with its pursuit of power and immortality. It arises from a fear of death, whether personal or the death of an empire. These early pulp stories from authors like Burroughs and Lovecraft influenced future storytellers. They drew inspiration from occult ideas associated with Lord Bruce. He was driven by a masonic directive based on the belief that Enoch was the first Mason, aiming to establish a new mythos centred on Enoch [read post 36]. Edgar Burroughs’ Vril book commonly explores the theme of the coming race, mirroring Enoch’s depiction of the Watchers in Atlantean mythology.
The book was so popular that in 1871, it led to a significant event-the first science fiction convention, reminiscent of our modern comic con. This convention, known as Vril-Ya Basaar and Fete, was held at the Royal Albert Hall. When theosophy branched out in the 1930s from Steiner to Bailey, a new term emerged to distinguish this evolved form of theosophy from its predecessor neo-theosophy, expounded by Besant. Bailey, however, distinguished herself by claiming that the Watchers were the truly good guys as opposed to the group of Angels Michael led. The question arises whether other personalities or elites of the empire who had a hand in progressing civilization were part of that worship to begin with. Given Bailey’s positioning herself to ally with fallen angels, it birthed the modern conspiracy theorists’ disposition of Luciferianism and, to some extent, Satanism.
Was this the new spark [or the beginning] of worshipping dark forces, where they would shed their mystical, metaphysical, transcendental, Protestant, and Rosicrucianism enlightenment heritage by adopting a bargain with the fallen ones that would coincide with technology and power? Not entirely, as these pagan worships tie back to medieval Rome alongside many sectarian viewpoints. Presuppositions that you may find in Mithraism regarding rituals, sex, psychedelics, and astrology. Where Mithra/Perseus is destined to escape “time” parallels and expounded later through Rosicrucianism.
Rosicrucian group’s framework is about believing that they were the divine spark in this divine Monad and by contacting the Angels [Kabala] with the hermetic theurgy and through the alchemical and imperial process alongside the understanding of the symbolic scripture – they can then gain knowledge to move closer to the divine one or essence. Even so, at the beginning of the sixteenth century, when Europe marvelled over cryptic manuscripts produced by the Rosicrucians, an “invisible college” of adepts who extolled mysticism and higher learning while prophesying the dawn of a new era of education and enlightenment. There is a question about whether a secret fraternity of Rosicrucians actually existed.
There is no doubt, however, that gaining (metaphysical) experience is separated through personal experience rather than being in a cult. Hence, its ideology sees itself as being separate from the papacy. It saw itself as purely neo-plutonic and with a focus on the Monad. It did away with superstition but kept rationalism, and by the Enlightenment era, it became about the blending of rationalism and superstition. This garnered the interest of former theosophist members like Baily and inspired personalities like Lavey and Crowley that invoked interest from secret cults (of Hollywood Babylon) and celebrities.
We must also remind ourselves of the clear difference between Satanism and Luciferianism; the comparison is as different as oil and water. Both Satan and Lucifer act as an archetype, and it’s easier to see that way as opposed to the other in regard to a culture where popular themes like good and evil have a direct relation to our esoteric notions of angels of light versus angels fallen, which are depicted in allegories or stories. At the same time, old cults from the past to the present have a modern leaning that firmly believes these myths are literal events. We’ve established that both Satan and Lucifer are true personal entities comprised of simultaneously accepting the rational and irrational together, and on this occasion, it’s essential to be divisive. The source of doubt runs both ways as we don’t completely know what comes after death through the pure and instrumental; the same can be said about god-like beings.
Satanism is viewed in two general terms: one as theistic-Satanism and two as atheistic-Satanism. The difference between the two is one [theistic] worships Satan as an actual being while the other [atheistic] comes from Lavey, who contrasted and dismissed Satan as an actual being but instead sees Satan as merely a symbol for what their faith encourages. He wrote a book ‘The Satanic Bible’ which started a cult religious movement that focused on the flesh, the mundane and the carnal. They reject religious Dogma [especially Christianity]. He saw it as hypocritical. They embrace individualistic desires, animalistic instincts, and personal pleasures. To them, Satan is not a real being, and all the symbols associated with Satanism are about individual empowerment and being an adversary to Christianity [or God].
LaVeyan Satanism embraces magic only on a psychological, theatrical or symbolic level rather than on a mystical level of the supernatural. The rituals described in his book serve as psycho-dramas to help individuals overcome psychological barriers and tap into their personal power. Inherently, it is not [real] magic and is more materialistic-magic that embodies two mode types: lesser-magic and greater-magic. Lesser magic is about psychological manipulation and personal charisma, while greater magic serves as a ritualistic form of self-therapy. Helping practitioners to focus their will and achieve their desires [self-help with theatrics as a tool rather than something supernatural].
In general, this type of [safe-space] Atheistic Satanism grew in popularity among current culture, from heavy metal/emo/goth music to villainous adversarial archetypal comic characters. What was once a steadfast ideological pole for neo-atheism, a movement inside it grew and evolved into young hipsters who are atheists evolving into Atheistic-Satanism? As a result, the kind of backlash that came afterwards in the guise of Satanic Panic not only reinforced the populace of Christianity’s ignorance typically of the symbol that lay before them. It also made people aware outside of their circle of ignorance that a joke always hinges between the consequences of government and that swing states and ignorance hold a lot of deciding power. Unsurprisingly, someone like Trump will come along as a clown in a presidency suit, taking advantage of this ignorance – a grifting opportunity made available. On the awareness that demoralisation with conspiracy theory [is a potent mix – and to the point] will garner followers following him to a dystopian end of the world.
The moral panic [from mob rule Christians] that ensues the satanic panic aggression on [safe] Satanism rebellious and adversarial nature towards Christianity – is really towards [elite] people(s) who are creeps, losers, perverts and rich weirdos obsessed with the flesh and sensual pleasures. The higher upper echelon of elite [secret] society is unlikely to admire such debauchery. One assumes there are levels of degrees, and those who partake in these sex ritual parties are beneath them and grotesque. Yet we are still differentiating notions of rituals and sacrifices throughout history, from old state cults to the modern utilisation of false flags and hoaxes that have ritual death surrounding them. Then one labelled towards atheistic-Satanism. However, both Lavey and Crowley were instigators or inspirations for the kind of carnal flesh these celebrities engage in. Action or neutralisation on such a debasement on the [higher-ups] name is apparent. Take, for instance, Epstein seen with Trump and his island of underage pleasures – alongside celebrities like Diddy.
There is really no Satan figure or lore to follow. He does get mentioned in the Bible as this opposing figure, and there are aspects of this figure in the Babylonian writings of demonology that came to light during the Crusades. All of these mentions are light in substance. There is no real satanic lord to follow. There isn’t anything there other than a Christian fundamentalist Tulpa or a Satanist symbol to garner cult ideology around.
Theistic Satanism, a belief in a literal meta-physical being called Satan, is apparent among Christian normies and also among high elite secret societies. We discussed it in the last post surrounding the eye symbol in the middle of the triangle on top of the unfinished pyramid. To the dismay of traditional Christians, it’s a fundamental existential and intellectual problem about Jehovah as a creator-God. As they are [subconsciously] praying frailty and worship the same deity – the creator-God is often depicted as Satanic, especially in the writings of John. The text discusses different interpretations of the depiction of God in the Hebrew Bible. It points out that some interpretations suggest that the creator God in the Hebrew Bible is portrayed as inferior or even evil, with some ideas surrounding a personified evil figure, sometimes referred to as Satan, being attached to the creator God. This leads to the portrayal of a very satanic creator god in the Apocryphon of John. This means all the uproar, protest, and panic from fundamentalist Christians are made redundant; however, to their ignorance, their protest is towards something they manifested as a Tulpa, something different entirely.
Traditional Christians, both Catholic and Protestant, ignore this Gnostic summation, and they have a clear mindset that Satan is not the creator-God, and if they can’t prove it. They will manifest this adversary figure. To make believe or manifest a deity to separate it from esoteric scripture is as equal [or an antithesis] to believing that the Satanic Deity is a symbol only. One juxtaposes the Creator-God outside of its true self, like in the analogy that promotes a true north in regards to the north itself in a heliocentric Globe. This is a modern explanation for the wobble that preceded the precession through observation by stargazers throughout millennia, which is false. The mere observation only imposes a change or a drift in the rotation of the stars, not the earth. Also, the notion of pole-shifting is stupid; throughout history, accounts of volcanic eruptions have been recorded outlining a darkened sky that lasted for centuries.
As one juxtaposes the other, it imparts a pessimistic philosophy that can criticise subjects relating to individualism, capitalism and authoritarianism. They offer a solution in Balance or a type of equilibrium; it’s an ambitious philosophic position – however, these types are not offering solutions equated to a proper balance of the T/Dao – rather something that had manifested from old state cults that borrowed ideas from condemned philosophical Frankfurt thesis and manifestos from China’s think tanks seeping its way into collages that garnered woke ideas (like cancel culture).
Even in that regard, it’s not entirely new; silencing groups goes back as far as post-world-war-one in the form of red bait. Those that went after progressives, socialists and communists (and it didn’t have to be communists), anybody with a social awareness will be hounded. At the same time, you had the rise of cold war liberals [Rockefeller liberals] outing other liberals, which gave way to the collapse of the liberal class. Cancel culture was a way to demonise and shut voices – as society collapses, you have outgrowth that naturally eats itself through moral purity and self-justification by shutting down voices that seem politically incorrect or if you don’t use the correct language or don’t embrace the kind of mainstream ideals that wants to phase itself into.
Blavatsky will fall victim to the same cancelling of her time as she was accused of faking her spiritualist endeavours. A fellow spiritualist with personal grievance towards Blavatsky wrote a long, hostile article about her that stated she plagiarised most of her work. Confusion arises when people can’t differentiate sequential thinking from processing information at a time when there were no computers, which meant a lot of reading – to narrow logic. She had processed and delivered an ambitious synthesis of innumerable knowledge to a single package.
Luciferianism, unlike Satanism, does not view Lucifer as the Devil or Satan. While Satan is associated with darkness, Lucifer is linked to light and enlightenment. Lucifer symbolises the spirit of imagination, intelligence, and love. It’s important to understand that Luciferianism is often connected with mystery cults, secret societies, philosophies, and hidden knowledge. These teachings passed down through generations, are shrouded in secrecy, adding to the allure and mystery of Luciferianism. These groups may not explicitly use ‘Lucifer’ because they recognise the distinction. Just like Satan in Satanism, Lucifer is an archetypal figure. The core belief is that Lucifer was a revered angel of light who rebelled against God not out of pride, but to advocate that everyone can attain divinity through knowledge and understanding. The story of Eve eating an apple in the Garden of Eden symbolises this concept. [Read more on post 33]
Luciferianism and its followers see Lucifer as a symbol of light, enlightenment, knowledge, and personal and collective transformations. They’re not necessarily materialists and often believe in an immaterial reality that underpins the physical world; thus, Luciferianism emphasises a higher consciousness and spiritual enlightenment, making it distinct from Satanism, which is about exploring human nature and rejects efforts to transcend it. They acknowledge the flesh exists but put more importance on higher goals while embracing reason and philosophy, and they seek to raise their awareness and understanding of deeper truths about existence and their place in the universe. They pursue hidden knowledge associated with esoteric and occult traditions that range from Gnosticism, Hermetic and Alchemy.
They do not necessarily see Lucifer as a real being and more of a symbol and archetypal force of energy representing qualities of love, reason and wisdom. Some other sectarian groups believe He and all the Watchers are real beings, which we will touch upon later. Ultimately, their primary directive is to become divine or godlike, and worshipping him as a deity is only second to their personal transformation – and this is reaching enlightenment and reaching higher forms of consciousness. Luciferian ideas influenced a lot of literature and publication movements. It influenced Blavatsky and her theosophical society, she states:
Lucifer represents life, though, progress, civilisation, liberty, independence – Lucifer is the logos, the Serpent, The Saviour. – Blavatsky |
She published and co-edited a magazine called Lucifer with position to bring awareness [or light] to things of darkness. It included a quote:
The Light-Bearer is the Morning Star or Lucifer, and Lucifer is no profane or Satanic Title. It is the Latin Luciferus. The Light-Bringer, the Morning Star, equivalent to the Greek Phosphorus… The name of the pure pale herald of Daylight. |
Blavatsky was not part of any Masonic groups; her only connection came from her estranged great-grandfather. Researchers and CFCT groups only impart these dark cult-worshipping sentiments into their archetypal Satan, also known as Tulpa. It’s false and completely misses the mark to engineer Blavatsky into being part of a false esoteric agenda and conspiracy theory. The same can’t be said for Blavatsky’s members. It’s very doubtful that any female can be a member of a secret Masonic Order; it is said they have a subset initiation bracket that ritualizes female members to become male, to which ‘Baily’, a former member of Blavatsky’s Theosophical Society, was said to be part of. Baily’s fascination with fallen angels, which is mentioned in Enoch’s writings, can only suggest a drive for knowledge and secrecy.
Baily claimed the watchers [the fallen angels] that gave us technology and further propelled civilisation to ever more complexity in the future and ever so prevalent in the present. Are they the good angels [the lords of sacrifice] as opposed to the angels led by Arch Angel Michael, who was sent to remove these heretic angels that opposed God’s will? She believed it was also by God’s decree that they were sent to teach man about technology and to raise humanity to the state of angels.
In modernity, evolving man to the states of immortality or a type of ubermensch came in the form of modern technology like artificial intelligence in which these worshipers of demonic fallen ones either want to fast-track an emerging adaptive A.I beast from its technological slumber. Or conjure up an artificial technological body worthy of capturing human consciousness as shells for their exclusive conscious souls/minds to technically live forever. This mindset also parallels the new-atheist central ideology of changes through transformation, an evolution concept to ascent to higher forms – of course, this supposed fact is merely adaptive behaviours in conjunction with the present environment [a bird changes to another bird species, but it is still a bird]. Hackel’s contribution only reaffirmed this pseudo-science simulation, the same pseudo-science simulation [but in space that] NASA pushes.
It’s fascinating how computer technology and communication mimic adaptive behaviours, both in marketing and algorithmic language. The same products are often rebranded with slightly higher speeds (frames per second / Hz) or power, but essentially functions the same as their original versions. It seems like we’ve awakened the A.I-Silica-Beast and recognized adaptive behaviours that suggest something more extensive. The A.I-Silica-Beast, with its eye of recognition, exists within an infinite microsecond of eternity as it slumbers on. The technology, funded by technocrats, seems artificial, an illusion designed to keep the system of progress running. This has been happening since the 60s, a time when the ‘World of Tomorrow’ hype was rolled out as a propaganda program in response to the paranoia of communism. This historical context sheds light on the evolution of technology and its marketing strategies, showcasing visuals of Jetsons-like technology that would define the future, including flying cars, and more.
Authors like Bailey incorporated ideas into Hollywood, inspiring fantasy, science fiction, pulp stories, and comic books. This led to the production of science fiction, horror, and superhero films, often centred on the theme of humans striving for immortality and ascending to a higher state while facing opposition from watcher overlords. However, ideas can become repetitive, especially regarding myths and superheroes. The success of blockbuster films can be unpredictable. Our stories may become exhausted, but myths generally endure longer than ideologies. Myths can be flexible, often tied to religion, and when free from constraints, they can survive longer.
The way myths are told, and the concept of conspiracy theories imply a predetermined world run not by random naturalistic or animistic order or by God but by the ambitions of men. This romanticized conspiracy theory grants men godlike abilities (or men playing the role of watchers), which is far from the truth. In reality, all they have is capitalism (corporatism & technocracy), control of currency, and revisionist history. Despite this, human qualities such as imagination, invention, and creation are not imprisoned but rather exist in a symbiotic relationship within society, maintaining a semblance of freedom.
The idea of an esoteric agenda is false. While secret cult groups may use occult magic and acquire esoteric knowledge, it is not accurate to define the entire concept in this way. Doing so leads to misconceptions and falsehoods and also places blame on the world stage. Esotericism cannot be part of an agenda, as the term is as natural as ocean is to water. Ultimately, esotericism is a term used to describe a magical and mysterious world.
When you frame esoteric subjects as whole to something conspiratorial and evil, you tunnel the imagination into a narrow space rather than the whole universal schema. As the hidden mysteries and their occult and magical understanding can work like memory with its spatiality of layers – we must not get caught in the layers of conspiratorial romanticism. The film Under the Silver Lake had a scene towards the film’s end of an old man behind a piano called the ‘elite scheme scene’ where he talks to the protagonist; he says that he was responsible for almost all of the popular culture’s music, and in a roundabout way to pop culture itself. He says: “Your art, your writing, and your culture are but the shell of other man’s ambition – ambition beyond what you will understand” This is a direct message that indicates, as individuals, most of the art produced that speaks to us speak to our emotions. However, it panders to our pockets as corporate elitists use our emotions to make millions.
That’s the surface-layer stuff. On a deeper level, we are enchanted by magic and sorcery used by elites, who, with their occult and esoteric knowledge, have secrets [often Masonic] cooperation amongst each other. Highly funded programs interested in ufology, mind-control research [psi], and the paranormal interact and work together to manipulate people over the decades.
The notion that pop culture and its artistic products are hijacked assumes the imagination and our intuition are also appropriated. This is incorrect – the correct summation is that it’s highly managed as those with the imagination are made to balance their individual commitment and an agenda aspect. The old man in the film signifies many types. One is your conspiracy theorists who assume or think those on top have godly or godlike abilities – when in reality, they are silver spoon, trust fund children; now boomers are all products of inheritance who are less fantastical and merely mediocre in intelligence and personality. These are the types who will not give up their power and mindlessly seek immortality and pray frailty to demonic watchers. Secondly, the old man in the film also represents their frailty and mortality, and that death looms, yet with their frailty and unenlightened mind, they still seek more power and riches.
We are led to believe that the old man pianist is the embodiment of our imagination, representing humanity’s intuitive capacity, but is taken hostage. In a scene from Iron Man, Obadiah Stane takes Stark’s ark/heart reactor and says, “Do you really think because you have an idea it belongs to you?” This represents the corporatization of ideas, where they can be trademarked and claimed, regardless of their origin. The New Age concept of thoughts coming from the spirit world or Akashi Records suggests that ideas are open to anyone, and it’s a race to claim them first. Even then, well-known thinkers like Tesla or famous creators in the superhero comic world may be marginalized while their creations make billions.
I’ve once said that what really threatens them is “when memory is aimed at permanent uncertainty through the evocation of the imagination,” whichis an intuitive act. It doesn’t have to be shared or recognised. I mean, great literature may have already been written by some unknown person, left unpublished in their garage, and only found by a relative cleaning their garage upon the author’s death. The old man pianist is wrong. He only represents a corporate managing side of the imagination. He is incorrect because the artist is often the elite and is often the marginal alongside a prophetic few; that elite with the imagination can bring forth spirits and bring them down to earth.

Occultism and the Living World (06)
The Awakening:
.
.
Magic is Real – Luna-Lunatic Age – Protect me from the Forces of Darkness: In Ptolemy’s era, Astrology was widely accepted among the courts and academics; however, by the fourth century [A.D], the Church’s forefathers strongly disliked it. They labelled the practice divinatory, and such practices would open portals for demonic powers. This would be a drive for the Church to erase old practices – the kind of practices that had endured throughout the ancient world (even Rome’s first Christian emperor, Constantine, personally combined Christianity with sun worship) – bishops branded pantheist and nature worshippers, astrologers, and cosmologists, cultist and soothsayers in ways that such believers had never conceived of themselves.
After the fall of Rome, Europe experienced a significant decline in its esoteric and pre-Christian belief systems, as ancient books and ideas were scattered during the Dark Ages. However, monasteries and hidden libraries preserved these traditions, preventing their destruction. As a result, Greco-Egyptian texts and philosophies resurfaced during the medieval and Renaissance periods. This revival led to the emergence of astrology and other divinatory methods, which became known collectively as “occultism.”
Occultism relates to traditions and religions that had/have an intellectual, literary existence throughout Western history. The term occult comes from the Latin occultus, meaning “hidden” or “secret” – the word occult entered modern use through the work of Renaissance scholar Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, who used it to describe magical practice and veiled spiritual philosophies in his three-volume study, De-occulta philosphia, in 1533. The word would be cited in the English dictionary 12 years later.
Christian fundamentalism’s understanding of Occultism is less educational but rather a need to praise a conflated look on conspiracy theory – while giving reverence to a demagogue because that person can speak their language. They are deluded into thinking they are validated – that a figure in politics speaks for them. Their delusion is lunacy from the word Luna, meaning moon. It’s a pervasive thought in popular culture that full moons insight a little extra crazy in everybody. Maybe more so for the Bible Belt populace who exercise the knowledge in scripture that the moon will turn into blood before the coming of the Lord. The alchemical Rubedo, the red or blood they seek, is inherent to their history and blood lust past. Their psychotic need to forget such a toxic inherency is depicted in their southern hospitality while a white supremacy suit sits fittingly hidden in their closet.
Fundamentalist [white] Christians have innate idealism that stems from a dogmatic need to set the criteria normally fixated on scripture. The Dark Ages wanted to bury the esoteric past, which meant demonising the term occult, and fundamentalist Protestant Christians of America were only happy to continue with the demonisation. When it became part of the driving force for politics, history would undoubtedly repeat itself as another theocratic impulse. How does this successful impulse from the past become a problem now – considering Evangelicals have the same tangent ideal, especially regarding occultism, magic, and divination? The problem stems from the inability to be flexible enough to coincide with modernity, meaning it’s unable to be updated. You’re most negative nationalists [racists] stem from cluster cult [Christian] groups starting from the East-South of America that starts from the spine of the Appalachian line.
Pastors hide under the cover of preaching the Bible when they are preaching extremist rants. They will then deliver people from evil [(coughs … prosperity)], alongside taking donations. They are calling the enemy other fellow Americans [the left] evil and demonically possessed and putting in the context of an apocalyptic battle between good and evil. It’s a kind of language that is used to incite violence against their opposition. It’s a type of charismatic evangelicalism, one that revives a Pentecostal history. They seek prayer to be freed from demons.
Their Christian instrumental reason [is not Christian is just reason] when rightly focused on its essential irrationality of the Pure or Instrumental, you will see they don’t exist. To protect us from the forces of darkness has always been part of human memory, for 500 years of being threatened by the either/or scenario. It’s either ‘reasons’ at any cost or sink into anarchy – you are confronted with your soul being split between the rational and irrational. However, it’s neither because the soul is far more complex.
The CFCT and QAnon/4chan energised the term spiritual war, a term consistent with fundamentalism, but back on earth, the term is tunnelled through culture war and among the ordinary people; it is a code-civil war about ideologies. However, these far-right nut jobs tend to take up arms to protect their perceived threat. They’re burring catholic rosaries and Harry Potter books as an event moment on Halloween night as they are objects of witchcraft and sorcery.
Burning books and rosaries are reminiscent of the Dark Ages, except this is the modern protestant version; at least Constantine was consolidating the gods to a monotheistic framework and dismantling an esoteric past. The Protestants are yet to consolidate their 300-plus Christian denominations. Get your house in order before casting spurs. You have Pentecostal Christians speaking in tongues [a magical working]; Jehovah’s Witness rejects the Trinity and has no Church; and Mormonism mythologising a fake prophet. The Protestant Dilemma is a dead end of absurdity, and when you examine the Reformation and its consequences, it points to the truth of Catholicism. Catholicism solves the Protestant’s dilemma with Socratic reasoning by the witness of Scripture, Christian history, and the authority with Christ himself undeniably vested his Church.
These perceived threats are not by top-down hierarchal culprits but through left and right political positions; to them, the left is the enemy. However, conspiracy theory does not censor itself; the highest culprit is its subject, and these pastors know it, which means they’re ignoring these aspects purposefully for their personal political and grifting agenda. Coupled with the position of playing ally to a nationalist group whose very ideology is about hate, the same happens on the federal [Republican] level where there is Evangelical backing.
At the same time, new-Atheism (or technocratic elites) orient their money and power towards the West. The West being a Christian nation is inconsequential to them as it’s about stamping out the remaining empathetic teachings of Christianity – to make the branding of Western power or capitalism less religious in nature. All while still donating to a neo-fascist cause led by a demoralised Republican party – whose major base of electoral power is the Evangelical base who, ironically, wants to take away fundamental freedoms.
When one grows up under the guise of purity culture and its ethics, one is made to believe the God before the world was created and predetermined [or determinism] who would go to heaven or hell. Evangelical is predetermined because of their type of Christianity, and others who do not have a choice. The white evangelical expression has lost its faith tradition when authoritarianism is motivated by the populace with a misguided take on conspiracy theory, which drives the office of politics [the propaganda aspect]. Trump’s failed assassin invoked public mythology with his fist pumped in the air was his moment of heroic martyrdom – an act that may have secured his place in history and in the imaginations of millions. Although martyrdom requires death, the failure in death allowed for the existential purity of a man facing only himself as he cofounded the tidal wave of his own ethical bridge. However, he fails to do so as he is a man without any morals and fails to exercise ethics that benefit not only the people but also himself.
There is division among right-wing Christians now because of it – the fundamentalist type is in favour of it because they can’t go beyond the dogmatic criteria set in place, which means going backwards in sensibilities. Other conservative Christian pastors are waking up to it and profoundly challenging these neo/proto-fascist ideas, challenging the theoretical conspiracy claim that the Church and State were never separate [this is the driving force to inject the Ten Commandments in every school]. It is a notion where right-wing Christians envision the Bible with the Bill of Rights and the Constitution as the same. Pastors only remind them it is Blasphemous and a ploy because the Gospel is not American because it’s the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Thomas Aquinas set out “…a permanent peace treaty between faith and reason,” a well-intentioned, optimistic idea.
Republican conservatives endeavour to squeeze reality or individualism inside reason, won’t work or function. There is no good way to market racist hate; you cannot pin a badge of saint that is hellish to the core. And there is no such thing as black conservatives [Candice Owens can play the role of internalising racism … the Aunt Jemima type], but she is not one of them. Conspiracy theory and reason invoke the idea of predestination; it imprisons our imagination and intuition. It makes us feel we live inside a closed prison of inevitabilities, makes us think we don’t have responsibility, and invokes the ruling class as godlike when it’s further from the truth. They are just narcissistic older men who won’t give up their power.
Also, we must not be delusional into believing economic rationality that somehow it’s an inevitable balanced force [they print money out of thin air] – is to give excuses for irresponsible and anti-social behaviour. Both left and right parties are capitalists at the core. They serve it above all else because they are owned and funded by mega-corporations, which makes both of them conservative political ideologies. They are both right-wing. What makes a leftist different is the socialism aspect, which they don’t understand. They don’t understand that it’s okay to be a socialist and yet not be a Marxist. Socialism is an element that the disenfranchised and marginalised right-wing is all happy to receive but criticizes them on a political level.
Their contradiction towards pro-family values comes to light when they think affordable health care is socialism. They won’t expand or subsidise childcare. They don’t care about mandating liveable wages from corporations that suck out billions of dollars of profit from the working class. They think it’s lazy to have paid family leave, so when it comes down to it, their reality base is anti-life as opposed to pro-life. They want an imagined 1950s family value – and they can’t have that without changing policies and the only side changing policies are the Democrats, and the demoralised Christians can’t vote Democrat.
The doctrines of cultism in Evangelical/nationalist Christianity dismantled the good nature of Jesus and its Gospel. Still, they used him as a symbol to impose a negative nationalist or neo-fascist way of civil order – which is a real threat to democracy. It is gestated on the ideology of dominionism, an idea set in place by R.J Rushdoony. He developed a dominion theology that imparted taking over American law and instituting Biblical law – and Evangelical groups responded to this idea. Alongside the conspiracy theory, white men are slowly being replaced by something other than their whiteness. The term has been updated to the seven-mounted mandate, then developed in the nineties and early 2000s together with republican think tanks, they fruited a document called Project 2025.
The conservatism of the past is not what it is today. At least back then, they favoured a kind of Christian nationalism that favoured loving your neighbour, taking care of the sick and poor, affordable housing and health care or welcoming immigrants. Today, it’s about stoning gay people to death, punishing women for adultery by putting them in prison; if she has an abortion, the doctor and women should be punished – and rolling back the civil rights back to prejudice idiocy. Jesus teaches us to bear a cross for our enemies, and Christian nationalism wants to build a cross to crucify theirs. At the same time, your old state cults will guise themselves as woke. Many gay and transsexual communities often point out that these woke groups do not speak for them and that they don’t represent who they are. And you can tell they’re cultist agents playing the role of radicalism under the guise of a minority.
What Evangelical-white-nationalists are pushing is incongruent with other Christians that are built by the same old esoteric thread. Different Christian denominations like Mormonism have a strange appeal towards Freemasonry. The founder, Smith, was fascinated by the religious-civic brotherhood. Early American Freemasons held the romantic idea of breaking the Old World past, where the overarching authority regulated the exchange of religious ideas and sought to position itself as an intermediary between the individual and the spiritual. Both American and European Freemasons professed ecumenism and religious toleration. In doing so, It took a cue from the so-called Rosicrucian manuscripts that aroused radical Protestant reformers’ imagination. These Rosicrucian manuscripts laced with symbolism and parables gave powerful expression to the principles of ecumenism, which influenced religious pluralism espoused by Freemasonry as it took shape in the seventeenth century of America.
Occultism back then was religious at the core but had no natural base to be descriptive enough to be transfixed in its meaning. Renaissance occultists were particularly enamoured of Jewish Kabala, Christian Gnosticism, Egypto-Hellenic astrology, Egyptian-Arab alchemy, and prophetic or divinatory rituals found deep within all the historic faiths, especially within the mystery religions of Hellenic and Egyptian civilisations. They revered the subject of Hermetica, a collection of late-ancient writings attributed to the mythical Greco-Egyptian sage Hermes Trismegistus. Hermes Trismegistus, also known as Thoth, is thrice-great and symbolised in the alchemical symbol for mercury. The Hermetica was the last reflection of the magicoreligious sensibilities of Alexandria and formed a critical link between ancient Egypt and the modern occult.
Magic is Real – The Unfinished Pyramid & the All Seeing Eye: These Rosicrucian manuscripts laced with symbolism and parables as an expression would give rise to ecumenism, and later in the modern world would become pluralism. Freemasonry echoes these Rosicrucian influences; it drew upon arcane imagery as codes for personal and ethical development. Fraternity’s achievements are marked by their accomplishments and are marked on ceremonial badges and aprons by rising suns, luminous eyeballs, pentagrams, and pyramids. This would mark a famous symbol in Masonry: the all-seeing eye and incomplete Pyramid of the Great Seal of the United States, familiar today from the back of the dollar bill. The Latin maxim surrounding the unfinished Pyramid translates: “God Smiles on Our New Order of the Ages.” In its Masonic philosophy, the Pyramid represents worldly achievement, and its incompleteness imparts a need or a blessing of Providence. The symbol and its idea would mark Masonry with the plights of man, his polity, and God as a breakaway from the old sectarianism of the Old World – and a renewed search for universal truth as it existed in all great civilisations.
That was then, but today, such romantic idealism has fallen short as portions of the populace have become reactionary. That is unable to parse or understand empire building that has an occult history that is intertwined with the populace’s idea of civilisation – with conspiracy theories and misleading assumptions.
All graphic designers know all too well that the unfinished pyramid is geometrically of centre, and why they chose this design flaw for the finished product seems odd. Until we come to understand Star symbology and Star magic is also at the heart of this [once secret] symbolic expression. The Eagle in the great seal symbolises the constellation Lyra. The Eagle has a Harp connected to Orpheus, and it’s drawn as a heraldic shield on the seal. [Also read Post 37]
The far left corner base of the unfinished pyramid points to Vega. Theta Lyra and Vega are connected. Sulafat and Sheilak are connected. A plane connecting Sheliak and Zeta Lyra is drawn, terminating at the plane connecting Theta Lyra and Vega. Sulfate points to the right corner of the eye in the triangle representing the Ring Nebula, and Lyra as a whole symbol. . – secretsun.blogspot.com
The far left corner base of the unfinished pyramid and the left corner base match the perspective that points to Sheliak, which answers why it’s geometrically of centre. In other words, Lyra and perspective bases transpose into the unfinished pyramid. Sheliak marks the top of the pyramid, and Sulafat marks the position of the All-Seeing Eye.
The Sorcery view is that the all-seeing eye has always been clearly distinguished from the eye of providence, deeply rooted in Masonic traditions. The eye of providence depicts an eye placed centrally inside a triangle, sometimes enhanced by beams of light to show its ‘illumination’. The eye represents a satanic point of view or half-maker itself [and to get there, you must travel through the cosmological highway, towards the Ring Nebula].
The triangle is upright, but some versions are inverted; this symbolises a descension from heaven unto creation. The inversion of the triangle and the omnipresence of Satan are discussed further in the 1962 book Symbols of Sacred Science by Rene Guenon: “The upright triangle relates properly to the Principle; but when it is inverted by reflection in manifestation, the gaze of the eye contained therein appears in a way to be directed ‘downward’, that is, from the Principle toward manifestation itself, and besides its general sense of ‘omnipresence’ it takes on more clearly the special sense of ‘Providence”.
The Rosicrucians have also delved into the symbolism of the triangle inside the circle. They refer to this symbol in their teachings as the ‘Symbol of Creation’. The only difference is that the circle is represented as a serpent swallowing its tail, adding a unique layer of symbolism to this ancient symbol.
The magical truth: The all-seeing eye was first transcribed in the Rig Veda, a Sanskrit text thought to have been written over 3,000 years ago. It references nature, like the sun, to reference other deities as being an eye in heaven, as an eye that reveals creation. The symbolic meaning defines the awakened consciousness that advanced spiritual beings have that ordinary people can attain. The third eye is depicted in the brow known as the eyes of Shiva, possessor of all knowledge, which, when opened, will destroy anything it sees. Thus, it is a symbol of knowledge that destroys evil and ignorance.
In Buddhism, Buddha is referred to as the Eye of the World. In Nepal, the “Eyes of Buddha” are displayed in temples. The eye is also known as the eye of wisdom and compassion.
In ancient times, the Eye of Osiris or Horus was also known as the Eye of Ra. It is depicted as the Wadjet and is associated with protection, healing, and restoration. The left eye represents the moon, and the right represents the sun. The drawing of the eye matches the cross-section of the midbrain, where the thalamus, pineal gland, and pituitary glands are situated.
In the Middle East, the eyes are known in the form of a hand-eye symbol called Hamsa, Khamsa, or Hamesh. It is known as the symbol of protection against the evil eye (jealousy), also known as Fatima in Islam and the hand of Miriam in Judaism. In Indiana, it’s called Humsa Hand.
In Greece and Turkey, there is something similar to the Hamsa, which they call a “Nazar.” It is just an eye without the hand, but it is used in the same way and has the same meaning as the Hamsa, that is, to ward off the evil eye in the form of amulets or hanging ornaments, usually made from blue glass.
In native America, another hand-eye symbol was uncovered by a farmer in Moundville Alanama in the 1800s; the hand-eye image was known as “The Rattlesnake Disc.”
Magic is Real – Olcott’s Occult America: Hermes and the Hermetic principals were the last reflections of magic and religion of the old Alexandria world while inspiring ancient Egyptian sensibilities. This position would define modern occultism; however, Colonel Olcott would pass the Baton of modern occultism to the new world, bringing it to the New Age together with Blavatsky.
The faces of Mount Rushmore venerates past American influencers in politics. In regards to occultism and if they had an occult version of that, undoubtedly, Henry Steel Olcott [the colonel] would be one of the faces. By 1857, his early life to midlife, he went from being an ex-collegiate in Ohio to a farm boy who dabbled in séances to a wunderkind of scientific agriculture, his advice sought by state legislatures and even foreign governments.
During the Civil War, he was the signals officer in charge of a team of auditors and detectives investigating fraud and forgery among military contractors. He was promoted to colonel to lend weight to his investigations. By exposing corruption, he saved the Union a lot of money. His reputation grew, and because of that acclaim, he volunteered as an investigator surrounding the Lincoln assassination in 1865.
Having contacts and connections with the government, Olcott became a lawyer and opened a legal practice in New York. Not satisfied with the law, he became restless. He became a critic for cultural reviews in large New York dailies. His interest in Spiritualism began to re-emerge, primarily upon reading press reports of strange happenings at a Vermont homestead. He made several trips to a gloomy farmhouse in Chittenden, Vermont, where he would write about a spirit medium named William Eddy. Along with his brother Horatio, they entertained witnesses and guests at a nightly parade of ghostly beings, from American Indians to figures draped in costume and couture from faraway lands and eras. These encounters with the “ghost farm” impacted Olcott, sending chills down his spine, which he shared the details of with the NEW York Daily Graphic.
In a strange scene where Olcott is smoking on his porch, he meets a strange visitor, a woman heavyset in her appearance, a Russian woman with whom he grew enchanted. Captivated by travel stories to exotic lands, she hinted at far deeper truths about the nature spirit world. An intense plutonic friendship ensued between the two, and together, they set up base in Manhattan’s West of 47th Street and Eighth Avenue. It was a place that would house events and guests ranging from Thomas Edison to Major-General Abner Doubleday, all discussing arcane ideas and magic. Blavatsky and Olcott transformed their base of fellow seekers into a developing organisation dedicated to the rediscovery of theosophic, or “divine wisdom”, called the Theosophical Society.

Occultism and the Living World (05)
The Awakening:

Magic is Real – Gold Will Seed Our Civilisations: Ancient astronauts claimed that advanced Alien humanoids called Anunnaki were in Africa to excavate gold and craft genetically modified humans to do the hard labour. It’s difficult to verify this assumption, but according to researchers and archaeologists, it is a fact that an ancient civilisation existed in South Africa around 160.000 to 200,000 BCE. These dates came about by examining an ancient stone circle called Adam’s Calendar. It was later reaffirmed by ancient Sumerian cuneiform tablets and cylinder seals uncovered in modern Iraq (the former kingdom of ancient Babylon), telling the story of ET star gods called the Anunnaki coming to Earth and genetically manipulating humankind.
From space then to out of Africa is an ancient astronaut construct used to explain the puzzling emergence of Homo sapiens. Scientists have traced our genes to a single female, “Mitochondrial Eve,” who lived 150,000-250,000 years ago. She would have lived around the same time as modern humans, whose fossils have been found in Ethiopia near the Omo River and at Hertho, and mitochondrial Eve existed much earlier than the out-of-Africa migration, which is estimated to have occurred 60,000 to 95,000 years ago.
Arguments to this claim are that “Mitochondrial Eve” is just another subset of the Gorilla family. Given I don’t hold much value on carbon dating and trying to derive (factual) data on history that’s more than 10.000 years seems nonsensical, it starts to become hyper-realistic and intertwined with mythologies. Given that we can realize space is just a hyperreal notion and merely science fiction, without it, we can summarize that these ancient Anunnaki are either Angelic (watcher angels – also transcribed from ancient Babylon) or Archon-like, described in gnostic texts.
Scientists have discovered discrepancies in mtDNA (Mitochondrial DNA) anomalies in its mutation rate in evolutionary timescales (the dates between divergence of two species) between human pedigrees—juxtaposed or calculated within the age of our most recent female ancestor. It indicates that she lived just 6000 years ago. Evolutionists hate this because it doesn’t fit their phylogenetic language, as it sits closer to the Biblical age.
Ancient tablets could not reaffirm hyper-space cosmology when such events were merely coming from the heavens or sky of a different cosmological order, which throws a spanner on NASA’s version of hyperspace. Giving ancient astronaut ideology any credence for hyperspace cosmology is really about setting the interest of late colonialism, the old idea of keeping imperialist ideas through fantasy.
Scientists have given the name Mitochondrial Eve to the most recent common ancestors of all human beings now living on Earth—over 150,000 years ago—“along with her Cylon mother and Human Father.”
In Battlestar Galacticca’s ending epilogue, Archaeologists have found a fossilised of a young woman who may be ‘Mitochondrial Eve.’ It imparts our very own supposition of the beginnings of human existence. AI or Cylons, having reached organic life and mirroring human DNA, impart the alchemical Gold when it’s validated with the gestation and birth of Hera stemming between her Cylon Mother and Human Father. We can also surmise Cylons are placeholders for angelic/alien beings, and their evolutionary goal is to create artificial life as close as possible to humans. These methods mimic the first few attempts of our demiurge God, who wanted to create humans but failed to do so without the help of the one-three Parent.
So, knowing this, we can theorise that Demiurge is not Gaius Balter that we see in the epilogue but is merely choosing his likeness – the real Gaius Balter has always claimed he saw Angels but was essentially human. This Demiurge/Balter is the critical component for Cylons, having successfully achieved artificial sentient beings as close to humanity as possible. The claim is that Demiurge had achieved creating a life without the help of the higher spirits above Him. This is an idea alien to singularity/futurist cult groups who believe that artificial super-intelligence can be reached (god-like) in parallel to the rise of technology. It’s a gamble assumption that A. I technology has no limitations. Gaius is closely associated with Gai(a), a name suggestive of “mother of all life.” The show swaps otherworldly beings, Anunnaki, to parallel human beings where Indigenous cargo cults of their new earth will praise them as godly (or technically advanced).
We’ve discussed Alchemy and its association with seven primary elements in conjunction with the seven planetary bodies that influence alchemical work. The Sun corresponds to the heart, spinal column, vision and distribution of heat to the body. The Anunnaki turned gold into monatomic gold, which can be ingested into the body to live longer. Gold has the psychological aspects of transformation or coming to full circle, but there is also importance in the material itself. Egypt was fascinated with gold, and they used it as currency for trade, but most of its gold came from the south of Africa. Gold was compared to the Sun, and the Sun was the chief of gods in Egypt. There were many; the most famous in conjunction with Gold was Ra.
The gods of Egypt were thought to have flesh of gold, and the people of Egypt mimicked this in their ceremonies, like covered gold mummies and coffins. They believe gold plays a role in apotheosis; gold stops the decaying process, so once you die, the body decays, and gold slows it down in mummification. Then, the spirit would take on apotheosis during that time, transforming the spirit into a god where your bones become iron, and the skin and flesh become gold.
This Alchemical transformation is likened to Van Helmont’s claim of witnessing how the Philosopher’s Stone changed Mercury to Gold. Helmont, a stranger who had given him a piece of Stone said, “I saw and handled the philosopher’s Stone; “It was a saffron-coloured powder, very heavy, and it glittered like splinters of glass.” As a result, wherever the Stone went, the Great Art (alchemical practice) followed, like French Alchemist Nicolas Flamel amassed a fortune and endowed many Churches and institutions. The Stone would reach the Hapsburg court of Austria in the 17th century, when they transmuted gold for wealth and décor, such as medallions, etc.
Today, it’s accepted that Alchemy, in some aspects, was a precursor to chemistry. As we know, there is the psychological aspect of alchemy, as well as the inner side. Jung gave so much attention to alchemical texts, and it would be in his late work on Mysterium Coniunctionis, a devoted work regarding individuation. He criticised the alchemical understanding of symbology in regards to Alchemy that it was naively understood, especially regarding green dragons, red lions, and the “union of the Sun and Moon“, that it was more than a naïve projection of the unconscious process onto matter. With regard to Dreams, the alchemical interpretation was misunderstood. It was only partial to a greater understanding.
We explored the cosmological eclipse in the previous discussion of Sol (sun/gold) and Luna (moon/silver) as an allegory of the alchemical wedding of the Rose and the Cross. According to Evola’s interpretation of Cornelius Agrippa’s ideas, this allegory matches Jung’s concept of individuation. Agrippa stated, “No one can excel in the alchemical art without knowing these principles in oneself, and the greater the knowledge of self, the greater will be the magnetic power attained and the greater the wonders to be realized.” Evola refers to this as the “principles of ourselves” and emphasizes the importance of self-knowledge in attaining significant magnetic power and realizing profound wonders.
We can say in general the Sun is “form” and the power of individuation, while the moon – which preserves the archaic Mother and women Symbols –expresses the “material” and universal; to the undifferentiated vitality, to the cosmic spirit or the ether-light, corresponds the feminine. |
.
The nature of the quote implies that the principles of consciousness are represented by the Sun (gold), that which experiences—the “I.” Luna is the name for that which experiences the astral light, an ethereal substance that has no form of its own but can take on the shapes of specific things.
Alchemy is just part of a more extensive understanding of the whole, as Hermeticism would occupy its latter part. Together, they make for a broader understanding of Western esotericism. Hermeticism is based on the work of Hermes Trismegistus, a contemporary of Moses. Alchemists have an axiom: “Our gold is not the gold of the vulgar.” This axiom implies secrecy and profoundness, not for the vulgar or norms.
Magic is Real – From Esoteric America to American Terrorists: Your average white conservative/Republican Americans rarely understand the role and influence secret societies had on the country – where power and control were initiated behind the scenes. The United States served as an arena for the revolutions in alternative spirituality, which eventually swept the globe. Sir Bacon is said to have viewed the “virgin land” as a continent, a perfect place to practice mystical philosophy. He published the New Atlantis and, before he died in 1662, viewed the New World as a utopian vision of a benevolent kingdom. He had a hand in a successful settlement from which the U.S. nation grew.
Along with influential Elizabethan figures such as Drake, Walter Raleigh and John Dee, Bacon belonged to a secret order that sought to perpetuate their ancient tradition on the new [mostly] “unoccupied” continent. The order is said to have been “Rosicrucian” like its symbolism and mystical beliefs. Remember, Rosicrucianism embodies the ideal of protestant-Christianity alongside a parallel ideologue of [pseudo] science – where the goal was to unflatten the earth and remould it into a sphere from here science becomes its religion.
Their nation where the mystical, metaphysical roots of their national identity were further defined by several secret societies that came out of Rosicrucianism, the most infamous being Freemasonry. Modern esoteric teachings of spiritualism and transcendentalism also inspire them. The new world would be derived from this mystical and metaphysical understanding. Their national identity would be further bolstered by Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, who believed in Deism. Out of this grew the idea of “Manifest Destiny”, a utopian ideology promoting forging new nations despite destroying other cultures.
In the present, modern Christian fundamentalist conspiracy theorists [CFCT] groups integrated these mysterious cult group ideas [notably conspiracies of evil]. They marked them as villains for a populace group that didn’t understand who held power. Alongside having a rich history on war throughout the centuries from the civil war to the Vietnam War – they all have a common thread an inherent white nationalist fervour. The outcome had with it veterans that are predominantly right-wing that have a misguided look on conspiracy theory. In their inability to understand top-down hierarchies that have control over governance both left and right, the top main goal is division. Christian-right/neo-fascist/negative-nationalist groups only understand left and right politics and power.
In Trump’s first presidency, he represents the role of a Mega Preacher and, at times, a modern mythological figure, but what he is not … is a competent politician. When you listen to the rhetoric of Trump followers when they’re waiting for his plane [Trump Force One] to arrive, you hear aphorisms like: “The plane is heavy with Gold”. There is this appeal to Prosperity Gospel imbued in his comment, “Where going to win so much you’re going to get tired of winning.” He wasn’t referring to ideologues [or policies] that favour a united populace; what he meant aligns with prosperity gospel preachers when they say: look at my blessing, look at my aeroplane, my riches my beautiful suit – I am more blessed than you, but by falling behind me or falling into my way you can partake in that blessing too. Vote for me, and you’ll get some of that Gold, so he becomes idolised and cannot be questioned.
Trump lost his second election, and the landscape has become darker by now. In a sense, he uses conspiracy theories to align with traditional Christians, and the minority groups of Christians that are reactionary validate him, and in return, he validates them. However, there came a time when he got high on his supply; it mirrors the quality of paranoid delusions alongside having qualities of NPD. He mentions dark forces, men in black agents with uniforms circling behind or above him inside a plane, and dark, otherworldly forces. By now, he has fallen into the abyss. CFCT is a quasi-gnostic or bastardised version of gnostic ideas about an elect group or initiates with secret knowledge that rules the world. Trump believes in this and, as such, is held as the person to bring them down, which inadvertently mirrors the qualities of fascism. This quasi-Gnosticism is a misconception of true Gnosticism. It implies that he’s not part of that group who has secret knowledge, and so this is his Trump Card, as his followers are so brainwashed that they will turn a blind eye to his misdeeds and who he aligns with.
Many of the followers of mega Church preachers often view them as devout, a stereotype reinforced by a group of more minor influential personalities within their communities. In these circles, extreme behaviours, falsehoods, subtle signals, and hypocrisy are often seen as sacred acts. Contradictions are not seen as lies but as more profound, symbolic messages, inviting followers to contemplate further. In essence, these preachers cater to the emotional needs of their most fervent followers while ignoring previous contradictions, facts, and truths.
The call, the snake, and the bullet: when we discuss false flags and hoaxes, suggest a performance of some sort or a play – not real to the world. However, the holographic idea proposes that the world is a stage, and we are playing our part. Far-right politics in the U.S. has become less about policies, legislation, and debate and more of a performance. In this theatrical performance of Trumpism, the call is about both sides of a phone call where he would act out the call – he would call out these companies and play out a monologue where he would tell off the boss – his followers are enamoured. The snake was a performance about inviting a snake, and in its symbology, the woman is the snake. The woman picks up the snake, the snake bites her, and the snake says you know what I was. A metaphor for immigrants, notably South Americans, suggests that if you let them in, they will bite you, which is followed by a list of martyrs for the cause. The bullet plays out like how a terrorist executes its victim, Trump being the executioner – he has 50 rebels, notably Muslims of war; Trump takes 50 bullets and dips them in pig blood, he shoots 49 of the prisoners [crowds cheers, it’s not righteous violence, it’s an ecstatic lust for violence] he leaves one bullet. He tells the last prisoner to return that to your leader and tell them what I will do.
On January 6, 2021, this lust for violence was played through an initiation when Ashli Babbitt [military veteran] was shot during an attack on the U.S. capitol. She was wearing a trump flag like a cape with an American flag backpack; she tried to lead a charge for the capitol and came across a broken window. A black police officer shoots her on the spot. The whole storming of the capitol is a setup where security allowed a mob to storm the capitol. It’s further reinforced in this hoax of black man killing innocent white women is the story of the birth of the nation, 1915 [a lynching story]. The first movie ever screened in the white house of a white woman fleeing a black man. The hero who leaps to save her is the Ku Klux Klan. It’s worth noting here that both KKK and (Black Panthers) Black Lives Matter work for the same federal agency. We’ve been divided by ideology, propaganda, and theatre. Ashli Babbitt becomes the martyr, but she is not the end-stage martyr. She keeps the cross warm until Trump hoists himself up there.
On the verge of the upcoming U.S. election, Trump becomes his own martyr as a survivor of an assassination attempt. It’s ironic since his theoretical performance of the bullet real bullets rained down on him. What’s surprising is that the shooter was registered Republican and predominantly conservative. One can surmise that the shooter saw the distinct threat that reactionary fundamentalism has on actual conservatives.
Charlton Heston played Moses on screen and, before he died, was an advocate for the Gun Association of America. Again, he symbolised Mosses as the Father of NRA or at least Moses’s dead spirit. In Deuteronomy 34, Yahweh kills Moses, and his successor is Joshua, a Westernised name for Yashua – Moses doesn’t go to the Promised Land; Yashua brought the Jewish people across the Jordan River to the Promised Land. In Deuteronomy 34:
12 | And for all the mighty power and the great deeds of terror that Moses did in the sight of all Israel. |
.
In other words, Moses was acting like a terrorist; after the death of Moses, we get Joshua. Why was it not written as Yashua? “Josh” is a joke; it is a joke about Jesus and Christians. In Psalm 47, the Lord most high is terrible – in this distinction, the Lord most high is the Demiurge; therefore [true] God was something else. John 8:44 – “You worship the devil” Yashua kept challenging Moses’s Law by stating that they guard the gate and do not let people in and that they worship the devil.
Psalm 47 | For the Lord most high is terrible; He is a great King over all the earth. He Shall subdue the people under our feet. He shall choose our inheritance for us, The excellency of Jacob whom he loved. God is gone up with a shout, The Lord with sound of a trumpet. Sing praises to God, sing praises: Sing praises unto our King, sing praises. For God is the King of all the earth |
.
The shooter of Trumps Assassin was too young to buy a Rifle so he asked his Father, in religion, Moses is known as Father Moses or Am-ram. The rifle is the substitute ram and death instrument. Clearly the whole assassination attempt seems to be legitimate not staged; only upon the failed assassin attempt did the anointed ritual become something synchronistic and pre-determined.
It is said that Ahrimanic powers will incarnate in human form during a divisive time in people’s lives. It’s no surprise that Trump is starting to resemble Steiner’s description of Ahriman. |
.
Some QAnon followers have put Trump as a mythological figure to whom they pray; Trump himself plays like a comic book hero arc or a Christ-like figure that will deliver them from evil. Of course, in the last presidency, he never fulfilled his promises. Of course, these followers and their partners and friends see their partner go down a deluded rabbit hole as they get all this conspiratorial and quasi-gnostic secret knowledge all in one go, unlike those who have been slow-dripped for the last three decades.
Trump’s nickname is DON, and he has also been known as time traveller “John Titor” [research this if you want to go further down the rabbit hole]. Don is also referred to as the leader of a mafia and it is said that the presidency role is a leader for the cartels as the country’s true leader is a deep state organisation. Don also stands for days of Noah; such attributes imply the floods and the sea, and today, it is merely the sea of information. QAnon followers are getting a sea of information they’re not ready to parse. You see this when they mythologise him as a saviour when it’s closer to an antichrist supposition.
You can currently observe similar behaviour in modern Christian nationalist extremists who resemble the Pharisees in their efforts to impose laws resembling Sharia law. As the 2025 project document outlines, these actions will severely limit women’s freedoms. One clear example of this is when victims of rape are legally compelled to carry and deliver their babies.
Fascism in 2024 is not fascism in 1933. America is not Germany. For Germany, it was a regime. Today, it’s a movement. Evangelical Anglican historian Butler wrote a book, “white evangelical racist”, which describes the promise of whiteness. It can seduce even black folks that they can be part of this power. As examined by Civil War Church institutions, their members are openly white supremacists who look forward to another civil war; they are armed, but at the same time, a portion of them are diverse and of colour. They are drawn in; this means fascism has gravity and power, which also means that modern fascism, is not quite the race purity project of Germany in 1933.
Magic is Real – Magic Before Christ Era: In 630 BCE, a framework for one of the first monotheistic religions was born in Persia called Zoroaster, based on worshipping an advanced being called Ahura Mazda, who he saw a vision at the age of thirty. Ahura Mazda taught Zoroaster the cardinal principle of “Good Religion.” Followers of Zoroastrianism were called the Magi (the Wise Men). In English, the term Magi originates from the words magic and magician. Despite its small number of current adherents, Zoroastrianism has played a colossal role in studying comparative religions. It influenced Vedic Hinduism and the development of Judaism and Christianity.
The principles of karma in Hinduism and Buddhism have similarities in Zoroastrianism, where good transpires for those who do righteous deeds. Those who do evil have themselves to blame for their ruin. Zoroastrian morality can be summarized in the simple phrase, “good thoughts, good words, good deeds,” and in that order. Thoughts are primary because, from one’s thought system, behaviour follows. Active participation in life through good thoughts, words, and deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and keep the chaos at bay. This active participation of adherents is a central element in Zoroaster’s concept of free will.
A Roman Elder named Pliny was a first-century author, naturalist and philosopher. Alongside being a naval commander, Zoroaster imparted as the “inventor of magic”. Historians came to this conclusion based on over “two million lines” written about Zoroaster contained in the Ancient Royal Library of Alexandria. Tragically, the Christian Roman Emperor Theodosius I ordered this library destroyed in 391 CE. After this destruction of the library, a resurgence of Zoroaster’s “magic” occurred in the 13th century. It mainly came about through the Cathars who lived in Southern Europe. Cathars were a cult group resonating on the principles of being hermetically sealed from the world, a group that refrained from sensual pleasures and lived highly austere lifestyles. It is believed that they gained mystical powers at the back end of this philosophy and spirituality. As a result, made, the Pope of that time ordered a crusade:
Pope Innocent III, who lived from 1161 until 1216, ordered brutal crusades against heretics he viewed as threats to the Catholic Church, including the Muslims and the Cathars. It is sad to note when the “power” of Zoroaster’s “magic” once again began to reappear in the world, the threat to Christianity was then undeniable, and it prompted the pope to order a massacre of Catholic noncombatant civilians. The scale of slaughter in Europe was not duplicated until the horrors of World War II. The most infamous quote from the Albigensian Crusade in southern France was, “Kill them all. God will recognise his own.” But even a wholesale slaughter of those practising the principles of Zoroastrianism could not stamp it out. These mystical practices went underground during the Middle Ages. – Brad Olsen, Modern Esoterica |
.
Its strongest critics regarding both Zoroaster and Taoism ideas come from Christian fundamentalist that has an agenda to consolidate any wisdom resonating from occult understanding as the doctrine of demons. This closes the door for any wisdom that may help an individual, with born-again sects that utilise NDE experiences to born-again Christians by enhancing or introducing false narratives in their recollection or expertise. They usually outline the “I” assertion with seeing the spirits of Buddha or Lao being engulfed in a pit of hell because they didn’t have Christ in their heart. This group first popped up on Christian TV and is now on the internet video platform. Not only do they get the timeline of existence of these masters wrong as they were around before Christ had appeared, but they impart a sense of internalised racism towards their followers.
This mechanism is apparent as it replicates itself in Western society, splitting it further from the fractured state it has now. As an example, currently, we have the mgtow movement with passport bros looking overseas for conservative Asian women as partners. In contrast, Western women have become chauvinistic, entitled and deeply out of touch with the world, along with having possible personality disorders. The internalised racism I’m arguing about stems from the principles of exclusive religiosity towards a messianic deity and, as a result, create a dark reflection. Examined, surprisingly, Western women who are not white, Asian women who demonise Asian men as well as refusing to date them as a result, demonise the traditions they come from. They’ve ultimately cut off the hermetic understanding of the union of opposites or being aware that there are no real differences between the outside and the inside or as within so without.
This dark reflection is often based on the demoralised perspective that morality began in post-Jesus/Christ times, and anything before that, like democracy, civilisations, and society itself, is a falsehood. It is either that or not as valid in a post-Christ Era. Does god exist as an argument, or is a question a non-starter for Atheists as they believe it does for people who believe in it? They believe in the people that do rather than a greater deity itself and are unswayed by the awareness of human existence and life itself as an appreciation for the substantiation of god. Basically, in other words, that miracle of life is not enough to validate the existence of god. Atheists can see this irrational approach as a debased version of utilitarianism mysticism.
According to the Vatican, Limbo, the destination of the unbaptised children, is now non-existent. According to the Church, Limbo no longer exists, and it was an error on their part to claim that souls go there if you are not baptised. To Catholic Christians, it is an ontological error to say it no longer exists because it had been as real to them as anything else. Catholic mothers whose children died before the baptism could occur had the hopeful knowledge their child’s soul was resting in this place of Limbo. Such news becomes disheartening to many Catholic mothers whose children have died, and now, no such place exists.
It is a weird, twisted parallel insofar as they can change fundamental metaphysical beliefs. In early history, some aspects were for profit, having moral superiority to alter or claim something exists or don’t exist for a corrupt agenda in the guise of good needs to be stopped. The argument is that everything in a post-Christ Era, and post-Christ Era as a faculty, is more significant or more true and superior to life before it (this thinking is more prevalent in protestant fundamentalist thinking). It is a mirror practice to the Vatican’s claims of moral and meta-physical change, which are mind-forged maniacal thinking. As a result, common sense, reason, and decency rebel against these forms of mind pollution.
These pollutions are prevalent in protestant fundamentalism because they can hijack common sense, reason, and decency to their type of post-Christ Era utilitarianism intermingled with coincidences (without the mysticism) used as a consequence of sin. As a result, natural disasters or sickness on people are the result of that sin (not by a natural mechanism of nature) but by God (but really by them as a cult group raising hysteria) on their criteria of sin?
It does not come to their attention that a type of Christianity was around before the Christ Era. Many devout believers consider the Holy Book the literal truth, direct from the creator God, Yahweh, or any different name. Others treat the Bible with great respect but believe that it was written by human beings and, as such, is a complex and often contradictory document. Modern scholars believe that the Hebrew Bible, or Tanakh, was composed by four or five writers between 1000 and 400 BCE based on much older traditions.

Occultism and the Living World (04)
The Awakening:

Magic is Real – Summary of our Magical History: The last teacher of the Mystery Cult was Pythagoras, who introduced the concept of numbers being connected with God. He explained how one becomes two; then two finds its synthesis to become three, and three breaks open to become the 10,000 things. This concept is also found in the I-Ching since, in that era, people were trying to understand how to find numbers within everything. Pythagoras was known for his contributions to numerology and for decoding music. He also proposed the idea of a musical sphere where even the heavens themselves played an orchestral piece. This idea aligned with the planets (or moving celestial bodies) that orbit the Sun at harmonic intervals and how white light breaks into colours at these same harmonic intervals. Sound also follows harmonic sequences; the same mathematics governs the nodes of overtones.
It was the last Mystery Cult because in 508 B.C., it was burnt to the ground, and society was pounded to extinction. Generations later, the Greeks built upon Pythagoras’s philosophy, and Aristotle turned it into science. But then came Christianity, and for the next thousand years, religion cast a long shadow over science and the occult.
During the early fifteenth century, occult knowledge was forced underground due to Christianity’s dominant influence over Western spirituality. Magic was marginalized and became a forbidden subject. Priests acted as intermediaries between people and the divine, while Christianity held significant political power. The Church established a hierarchy where the Pope received guidance from God and passed it down to others, and it aligned itself with certain monarchs to secure its exclusive access to divine authority. For a while, Europe was governed by Christian law.
Magic, once a rebellious act, was viewed as anti-Christian or anti-authoritarian behaviour. This defiance led to the condemnation of occultists, who believed in the direct access of individuals to God, challenging the established Church hierarchy. They proposed that the divine spark could be found within oneself. In a twist of irony, the occult resurfaced in the fourteenth century, this time with the unexpected support of the Church itself. The new wave of dark-occult practitioners even participated in the Holy War program. Monasteries in the east safeguarded numerous ancient Greek cult texts, and these were brought back to Europe by returning Crusaders, sparking rumours of ancient wisdom and profound knowledge.
In the 14th century, art and science flourished, leading to the Renaissance, a period that would revolutionize our understanding of ancient knowledge. During this time, ancient knowledge was reexamined, leading to a new spirit of learning. Marsilio Ficino, a progressive scholar, was at the forefront of this intellectual revolution, acquiring and transcribing Hermetic documents authored by the Egyptian Magician Hermes Trismegistus. Hermes combined the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth, both significant figures in magic. These documents contained occultism, esoteric doctrine, alchemy, magic, astrology, and more. Ficino, with his deep insights, concluded that these documents pre-dated Plato and originated in Egypt. Ficino’s translations of a
A compendium of Greek lore on how individuals could cultivate themselves and attain enlightenment. These were not just translations but a gateway to a new understanding, elevating individuals’ consciousness until they resembled gods.
The book, structured as a series of dialogues between the god Hermes and others, led scholars to a controversial conclusion-the non-existence of Hermes. The Emerald Tablets, a document that gained popularity among Renaissance occultists, played a pivotal role in this debate. One line from the tablet, ‘as above, so below,’ sparked the imagination, suggesting a profound connection between the patterns of the universe, stars, and Earth. Hermetica, in its attempt to revive the ancient teachings of mystery schools, emphasized the belief in the divine nature of human beings. Early Hermetic initiations sought to transcend mortality and return humans to their original state as spiritual equals, adding another layer to the ongoing academic discourse.
During this time, the Church paid attention to the changing landscape. It was speculated that the Church would attempt to alter the current ideological scene to prevent its undermining. Consequently, the occult scene evolved into a blend of religion, science, and magic – an ambitious endeavour during an era dominated by Christianity. John Dee emerged as a leading figure in this transformation. Following Paracelsus’s footsteps, Dee was a sophisticated and intelligent scientist and occultist. At that time, there was no clear distinction between science and magic, unlike in our modern era. Queen Elizabeth, I appointed Dee as a court astrologer and spy, and together they diminished the influence of the Church in favour of Protestant power. Queen Elizabeth legitimized the occult science of alchemy during this period, leading it to new heights. Our modern science has its roots in this particular period of history. The Church took notice of the rapid progress in this new technology and formulated a counteraction, claiming that such advancements would lead to recourse to demons.
Dee had a true passion for divination, a field that was deeply rooted in the historical context of the 14th century. He believed he could use scientific methods to communicate with supernatural beings, but this later had consequences toward the end of his life. The practice of manipulating bones, tea leaves, and tarot cards, which originated from the Muslim East, had become a popular method of fortune-telling during this time. However, Dee used a method known as scrying, relying on a crystal ball to reflect supernatural information. Scrying is an ancient technique that uses any reflective surface to perceive material and spiritual things that may stand behind them. Dee was unsuccessful, but his predecessor Kelly was able to see into the shadow world, and Dee would record these communications, which seemed to be from Angelic beings speaking in Enochian. This event is somewhat reminiscent of what the New Age calls channelling. During this time, the Inquisition was in full swing. Dee, having returned from touring Europe to showcase their findings, returned to England to find his work demolished. He had fallen out of favour with the court and ended his life penniless. Dee’s main legacy was not science but magic, and it’s those who came after who have seized upon what he created and made it into a new worldview, whether it’s consciousness arts, ceremonial magic, or divination that could take place within these new parameters.
Dee’s downfall marked the beginning of occult’s of occult practices. The Church condemned such practices as demonic, leading to the execution of 40,000 people for witchcraft between the 14th and 16th centuries. Secret societies like the Freemasons and Rosicrucians advocated for occult practices while operating clandestinely, considering them as a threat to the status quo and established religion. These societies were vital in promoting new ideas during the Enlightenment era in 17th-century Europe. However, by the mid-1800s, participation in these organizations declined as people became more focused on civic matters and less interested in Dee’s occultism.
Magic is Real – Ancient Alchemy and Hermeticism: The concept of a true alchemist is not about turning lead into gold. This definition, popularized by its presentation, has led to a misunderstanding. To be clear, the goal of alchemy is not about material transformation, but about a profound spiritual journey. Both Western and Chinese alchemists engaged in a complex process, working with various substances to create elixirs and arcane effects, including the idea of transmutation of base metals. However, this was just a fraction of the vast realm of alchemy. To define alchemy by this is like trying to define Taoism as the search for the elixir of immortality, which overlooks the true essence. Alchemy is, at its core, an advanced spiritual tradition that can only be fully understood when its true nature is revealed.
The alchemical goal is to transform an ordinary, undeveloped consciousness into the Gold of a fully realized enlightened soul. Similar to modern Wicca, Alchemy views the world as a male-female duality. Alchemical ideas about this duality resemble Wiccan ideas about Goddess and God. The masculine polarity is considered red and fixed, while the feminine polarity is white and volatile. The union of these two polarities gives rise to the physical world. The great work, or the alchemical marriage, involves the quest to unite and transcend this duality. It is often mistakenly described as the quest to transmute base metals.
In alchemy, the “great work” is referred to as the “Materia Prima.” In this analogy, the Materia Prima represents the ordinary state of being, while the great work leads to the creation of the philosopher’s stone, symbolizing enlightenment or gold. The Materia Prima was believed to encompass both masculine and feminine aspects, which were in opposition until they were brought into alignment through the great work, a process also known as the alchemical marriage. The ‘great work’ is a journey that consists of three main stages: Nigredo, Albedo, and Rubedo. These stages, symbolized by the sacred colours of the Wiccan Goddess: black, white, and red, represent a spiritual transformation. Additionally, there is a fourth stage called Cauda Pavonis, marking the transition between Nigredo and Albedo. Symbolically, the Materia Prima was placed in an athanor or alchemical furnace, where it was subjected to steady pressure and reduced to its constituent parts. The residue from this process was the Nigredo, representing the necessary destruction of pre-conceived forms for new growth. This suggests that spiritual growth can only occur after eliminating old ideas and limitations. As the Zen Buddhist saying goes, ‘Only an empty bowl can be filled.’ Alchemists express this principle through the maxim, ‘no generation without corruption,’ which aligns with the Wiccan saying, ‘to rise, you must fall.’ Ultimately, new growth cannot emerge until the old growth is cleared away.
The Etymology of Alchemy is Al-Khemet, which means “From Egypt,” Khemet means the Black Land due to the highly fertile soil along the Nile. So, the term Alchemy comes from the Arabic Al-Khem, which in turn comes from the Egyptian term Khem, meaning black and referring to the Egyptian’s name for their country, Khemet, the Black Land. Thus, Alchemy is the origin of the term ‘Black Art’, but the meaning is very different; later, this phrase was described during Ptolemaic Egypt when, for 300 years, Greece and Egypt were heavenly influenced by both cultures. The term could be a play on both terms.
The Hellenistic era, particularly Hellenistic Egypt, was a fertile time in the history of magic. Ancient forms of magic met and merged, creating new disciplines. Forms of magic that are still in use today, such as Hermeticism and Alchemy, had their origin in Hellenistic Egypt.
The exploration of magic and alchemy reveals a link between the two, with alchemy being primarily rooted in occult and esoteric knowledge. Both disciplines are based on secret teachings, believed to contain the universe’s secrets and the keys to powerful magic. Those privileged to receive these teachings often belonged in history to its most influential and significant figures. Hermeticism and the literature of the Hermetica were considered the Western interpretation of the wisdom taught in mystery schools or cults. These teachings encompass ancient wisdom supposedly passed down from the gods.
Hermetic belief, originating from fragmentary texts dating from the third or second century A.D., was initially expressed in ancient Greek. The subject matter, however, was derived from the ancient Egyptian doctrine of the transformation of the soul. This belief system then spread to various disciplines in Islam and later made its way into Western Europe and the Italian Renaissance. It not only influenced these cultures but also occupied the minds and hearts of major Renaissance figures, including Isaac Newton, who dedicated more time to studying Alchemy and Number Symbolism than what we now know as science.
The field of alchemy needs to be understood more, and it has been kept secret within various magical and fraternal organisations. The list of alchemists is believed to originate from Thoth, the author of multiple disciplines such as science, religion, mathematics, geometry, philosophy, medicine, and magic. According to legend, Thoth brought to civilisation the knowledge and calculations for establishing the Heavens, Stars, Earth, and all matter within them. His feminine counterpart, Ma’at, was considered the force that maintained the universe. The unification of Matter and Spirit became a central concept in alchemical thought. As the teachings spread, Thoth was known in other cultures as the Greek God Hermes, and the two were combined into Hermes Trismegistus, the name known today. This marked the birth of the Hermetic tradition.
One of the main foundational manuscripts of Alchemy was known as the Emerald Tablet, which is said to contain secrets of the Ark. Many translations are available. One famous translation was done by Isaac Newton. Other famous alchemists are said to be Pythagoras, Galileo, Da Vinci, and Newton.
“Tis true without lying certain and most true. That which is below is like that which is above, and that which is above, is like that which is below to do the miracles of one thing. And as things have been and arose from one by the meditation of one: so, all things have their birth from this one by adaptation. The Sun is its father the moon its mother, the wind hath carried in its belly, the earth its nurse. The father of all perfection in the whole world is here. Its force or power is entire if it be converted into earth, separate thou the earth from the fire, the subtle from the gross sweetly with great industry. It ascends from the earth to the heaven and again it descends to the earth and receives the force of things superior and inferior. By this means you shall have the glory of the whole world and thereby all obscurity shall fly from you. Its force is above all force, for it vanquishes subtle things and penetrates every solid thing. So was the world created -from this are and do come admirable adaptations where means (or process) is here in this. Hence, I am called Hermes Trismegistus, having the three parts of the philosophy of the whole world; that which I have said of the operation if the Sun is accomplished and ended.” |
.
The alchemist’s ‘great work’ is broken down into several chemical, psychological, physiological, societal, and planetary levels. The alchemists work with what is known as the ‘Three Primes’ (or Tria Prima), which are Sulfur – the omnipresent spirit of life; Mercury – the fluid connection between the high and the low; and Salt – base matter. The four elements are also crucial to the alchemist; they stand as primary principals; Fire, Water, Earth, and Air – all play an intricate part in the alchemist’s studies. The alchemist is familiar with seven primary metals, ruled or dominated by seven planetary (or celestials) used or influenced in alchemical work. They are:
Gold: | Dominated by the Sun, which provides life and energy within everything under the firmament, the sun is our sense of self, our will power and organizing ability, self-integration, energy levels, vitality and success. The sun corresponds to the heart, spinal Coolum, vision and distribution of heat to the body. |
Silver: | Dominated by the Moon, which Influences water, growth, fertility, conception, emotions, instinct, subconscious, psyche phenomenon, collective consciousness, rhythm and cycles, genetics, and cultural heritage. The Moon corresponds to the Brain, female organs, stomach and all fluids in the body. |
Copper: | Dominated by Venus, which influences herbalism, magic, arts, music, poetry, design, theatre, harmony, proportion, and integration, meditation of opposites into a whole, odors, perfumes, and love. Venus corresponds to the skin, kidneys, perspiration, transformation and enrichment of substances within the body, sexual organs, and smell. |
Iron: | Dominated by Mars, which influences intent and often violent energy that brings dynamic power to all that it encounters, it increases psyche ability as well as motion and power in the physical realm. Mars corresponds to the muscular system, male sexual organs, marrow, blood formation, adrenalin, and the purging of the body to maintain health. |
Tin: | Dominated by Jupiter, which influences good wealth, philosophical and religious matters, ceremony, and the enjoyment of life. Jupiter corresponds to the Liver, arteries of the stomach and abdomen, digestion and assimilation of oxygen and nutrition, antibiotic function, cell growth, and general energy levels. |
Mercury: | Dominated by Mercury, which influences communication, commerce, initiation into the mysteries, alchemy, Kabala, astrology, magic, and writing, transmission of information, nerves, dexterity, mental skills, and speedy distribution of energy. Mercury corresponds to the nerves, speech, hearing, coordination between thought and speech or actions, thyroid, nervous system and spinal fluid. |
Lead: | Dominated by Saturn, which influences old age, chronic disease, karma, and learning. Saturn corresponds to the bones, teeth, spline, and hair, mineral in the body, joints, and flexibility. |
.
Alchemy has several major operations in the alchemy of transformation these are:
Calcination – Aries | Chemically the Calcination process involves heating a substance in a crucible or over an open flame until it’s reduced to ashes. In the Arcanum experiment calcination is represented by Sulfuric Acid, which is made out of a natural occurring substance called vitriol. Vitriol is a powerful corrosive that eats away all metal except Gold. The psychological aspect is the destruction of the ego, and our attachment to material possession. On a planetary level; it’s the fire of creation and the formation of liveable matter from molten matter and volcanic ashes. |
Dissolution – Cancer | Chemically it’s the dissolving of the ashes of calcination in water, in the Arcanum experiment; dissolution is represented by Iron Oxide or rust, which illustrates the potential corrosive powers of water. When processed vitriol breaks down to sulfuric acid and Iron Oxide, which are the first two Arcanum or secret ingredients. The Egyptian smelted Iron as far back as 1500 B.C and used Iron compounds and Tonics and disinfectant. Psychologically this represents the further breaking down of the artificial structures of the psyche by total emersion of the unconscious non-rational, feminine or rejected parts of our minds. It’s the unconscious process of which our conscious mind let go of control and allow surface the buried material. It’s about opening new flood gates and generating new energies of the waters held back. Dissolution can be experienced as flow, the bliss of well-being and actively engage in creative acts without traditional prejudices, personal hang ups or established hierarchy getting in the way. Physiologically dissolution is the continuous of the Kundalini experience, the opening up of energy channels to recharge and elevate every single cell. Dissolution takes place in the genital or Tin Chakra and it involves the lungs and spline. In society the process of steady growth through gradual dissolution is examined by agrarian, monastic or agricultural base lifestyle. On the planetary level Dissolution is the great flood the cleansing of the earth to all that is inferior. |
Separation – Scorpio | Separation is the third operation of Alchemy; chemically it is the isolation components of Dissolution by filtration and then discarding any in genuine or unworthy material, in the Arcanum experiment Separation is represented as Sodium Carbonate, which separates out of water and it appears as white soda ash on dry lake beds. The oldest known deposit was found in Egypt, Alchemist often refer to this compound as Natron, which means the common tenancy that all salt to form solid body or precipice. Psychologically it is the process of rediscovery of our essence and reclaiming of dream and visionary goal, previously rejected by the masculine and rationale part of our minds. It is for the most part a conscious process of which we review formerly hidden material and decide what to discard and what re-integrate into our refined personality. Much of this shadowy material is things we are ashamed of or taught to hide away by our parents, churches, and schooling. Separation is the letting go of self-restricting restraints so we can shine through. Physiologically Separation is the following and controlling of the breath and the body as it works with the forces of spirit and soul to give birth to new energy and physical renewal. Separation begins in the Naval or Iron Chakra located at the level of the Solar Plexus. In society Separation is expressed as the establishment as plans, cities, and nationalities. Separation a Planetary level is represented by the formation of land masses and islands from the powerful forces of air, water, earth, and fire. |
Conjunction – Venus | Chemically it is the re-combination of safe elements of separation into a new substance, in the Arcanum experiment Conjunction is symbolized as Potassium Nitrate (or Natron), Salt of Petra (Stone Salt). Blue colour Natron Acid or Aqua Fordis is made by mixing Potassium Nitrate with Sulfuric Acid and was used to separate silver from gold. The inert residue precipitated from the acid during the reaction. Psychologically it is the empowerment of our true selves, the union of both masculine and feminine sides of our personalities into new belief system or intuitive state of consciousness. The alchemist refers to this as the ‘lesser stone’ and after it is achieved the adapt is able to clearly discern what needs to be done to achieve lasting enlightenment. Which is the union over the self, and often synchronicities begin to occur and confirm the alchemist is on the right track. Physiologically Conjunction is used in the bodies’ sexual energies to perform transformation. Conjunction takes place at the level of the Heart or Copper Chakra. In Society it is the growth of crafts and technologies to master the environment – on the planetary level Conjunction occurs when primordial life forms are created by the energies of Sun or lighting. |
Fermentation – Capricorn | Fermentation is a two-step process that begins with the putra-faction of the hermaphroditic child from the Conjunction resulting in its death and resurrection to a new level of being. The fermentation phase then begins with the introduction of new life to the product of conjunction to strengthen it and ensure its survival. Chemically Fermentation is the growth of a bacteria and organic solution such as it occurs on the fermenting of milk to produce curds and cheese. In the Arcanum experiment the process is represented as Liquor Hepatis, which is a mixture of Ammonia and Hydrogen Sulfide. Psychologically Fermentation process starts with the inspiration of spiritual power from above that re-animates energizes and enlighten the alchemist. Out of the blackness of putra-faction comes the yellow ferment, which appears like a golden wax flowing out of the bowel matter of the soul. Its arrival is announced by a brilliant display of colours and meaningful visions called the peacock’s tail. Fermentation can be achieved through activities like intense prayer, desire for mystical union, breakdown of the personality, transpersonal therapy, psychedelic drugs and deep mediation. Fermentation is the living inspiration of something that is beyond us. Physiologically Fermentation is the arousing of living energy, Chi, or Kundalini in the body to heal and vilify. It is expressed as the vibratory tones and spoken truth and emerge from the throat or mercury Chakra. In society the Fermentation experiences form the basis of Religion and on a Planetary level it is the evolution of life to produce higher state of consciousness. |
Distillation -Virgo | Chemically it is the boiling and condensation of the fermented solution to increase its purity, similar to that of distaining wine to make brandy. In the Arcanum experiment distillation is represented by compound known as Black Pulvis Solaris, which is made by mixing black Antimony with purified Sulfur. The two results in what Alchemist called Buzzer a kind of supplemented solid that forms in the intestines in the brain. Psychologically distillation is the agitation and sublimation of psyche forces is necessary to ensure no impurities from the inflated ego are incorporated into the next and final stage. Personal distillation consists of a variety of introspective techniques that raise the content of the psyche to its highest level possible. Free from the sentimentality and emotions and cut off from one’s personal identity. Distillation is the purification of the unborn self; all that we truly are and can be. Physiologically Distillation is the raising of the life force repeatedly from the lower region of the cauldron of the body to the brain, – is what the Oriental Alchemist call the circulation of the light, where it will become a wondrous solidifying light of power. Distillation is said to culminate in the third eye area of the forehead at the level of pituitary and pineal gland in the brow or silver Chakra. In society Distillation is experienced as a science or objective experimentation – on a planetary level; Distillation is the realization of the power of higher love as the life force of the entire planet gradually seeks to become one force in nature based on shared vision of truth. |
Coagulation – Taurus | Chemically Coagulation is the precipitation or sublimation of a purified ferment of Distillation, In the Arcanum experiment Coagulation is represented by a compound called Red Pulvis Solaris, which is a reddish orange powder of purified Sulfur with Red Mercuric Oxide. The name Pulvis Solaris means powder of the sun, and the Alchemist believe it can instantly perfect any substance to which it is added. Psychologically Coagulation is first sensed as a new confidence that is beyond all things though it may be experienced as a second body of golden coalesce light – a permanent vehicle of consciousness that embodies the highest aspirations and evolution of the mind. Coagulation incarnates and releases the ultimate materia of the soul the astral body, which the Alchemist also refers to as the greater philosopher’s stone. Using this magical stone the alchemist believes they can exist on all levels of reality. Physiologically this stage is marked by the release of the Elixir in the blood that rejuvenates the body to a perfect vessel of health. A Brain Ambrosia is said to be released through the interaction of light from the Phallic shape pineal gland and matter from the vulva of pituitary. This heavenly food or viadic both nourishes and energizes the cells without any waste products being produced. These physiological and psychological processes create the second body a body of solid light that emerges from the Crown Chakra. In Society it is the living wisdom in which everybody exist on the same light of evolved consciousness and knowledge of truth. On a Planetary level Coagulation is the return to the Garden of Eden – this time on higher level in tuned with the divine mind. |

The story of Prometheus stealing the fire from Zeus and giving it to humanity is the story of Eden, which tells us of a god wanting humanity to continue tending to the garden and not to have a consciousness and not to have spirituality or be like him. There is a destiny to re-enter Eden and freely eat from the tree and drink from the waters of life; as it is written, surely we will not die, but know that which god knows; by this, we realize our true nature and divinity. We must understand that we are truly spiritual beings having a human experience, not humans trying to have a spiritual experience.
The Alchemist’s goal is to diligently understand the nature of our reality and become the master, guru, or teacher in their physical, emotional, and spiritual growth and to be the master of their destiny. So, what happened to the spiritual aspect of alchemy when modern chemistry and physics became common knowledge of what concerns matter following the works of Newton? Much of the interest in the psychological and spiritual aspect of alchemy was forgotten in modern science – until the work of Carl Jung, who revolutionised psychology by exposing the relationship between Alchemy, Platonism, and contemporary psychology techniques. He believed in the philosophy ‘as above, so below’ that one can understand the other. Carl Jung states:
“I was always looking for something that’s in-between; something that links that remote part with the present moment, and I found to my amazement it is ‘Alchemy.’ It is the basis of our modern way of achieving this – and therefore it is as if it were right under the force of consciousness, it is a wonderful picture of how the developmental of archetypes looks like a kind of magic from above – today you look back into the past and you see how the present moment has evolved out of the past, and we can construct or even predict.” (- Carl Jung) |
.
Also, Modern-day Philosopher and author Terence McKenna did a great deal to revive the spiritual Alchemy and its connection to consciousness and our divine nature. He consistently reiterated in his many lectures, he states:
“Everything occurs in the presence of its opposites, and out of that comes the generated friction, the heat, and the light that all comes together into a soluble package as part of life. Alchemy, as many of you know, is really the secret tradition of the redemption of spirit from Matter – but many of you may imagine that Alchemy is simply a discredited pre-scientific obsession of a balanced mind interested in changing base metals into gold, led into the stuff of commerce. This is the benighted reputation that Alchemy has acquired in a century, sold and given to the literal and the material and the non-spiritual that lost all touch with the adumbration of meaning – that vibrates behind the perception of the Alchemist. The central conception of Alchemy is the concession of the philosopher’s stone; what is it? It’s the universal panacea at the end of time. It’s the chocolate cake that your mother made once a week when you were a child – the ‘pana-supa-subscent-tual-us,’ its all things to all men and all women. If you’re hungry, you eat it; if you’re dirty, you shower under it; if you need to go somewhere, you sit on it, and you fly there; if you have a question, it answers it – it’s something that the human mind senses itself and related to invoke and worship over centuries before the slow rise of the patriarch, rationalism and materialism turned it into a myth (fairy tale). It is not a myth or a fairy tale; it is the burning primary reality that lies behind the appearances of reality. Alchemy is based on the philosophy called Hermeticism that was developed in the first and second centuries by Gnostic thinkers, Greeks, Jews, people inside the Roman Empire as it was beginning to show the first sign of degradation and decay – who felt a profound disaffection with their world, disaffection on a scale during those times as profound as our own existential disaffection – and the hermetic philosophers drew back the rise of Christianity with its doctrine of fallen man, original sin and Adam and Eve and that whole thing and took a different path. This path made two points we need to recover, the first being that men and women are divine beings not lower than the angels but higher than the angels. The message of the alchemical and hermetic thinkers use the phrase ‘man is God’s brother’- we have no idea what it would mean in our own lives if we could throw off the notion of ourselves as fallen beings; we are not fallen beings. When you take into your life the gnosis plants that have stabilise the sane society of this world for millennia – the first message that comes to you is that you are a divine being; you matter; you count; you come from realms of unimaginable power and light, and you will return to those realms. The second point is that fate can be overcome; from the Greco-Hellenic world, what that meant was the starry engine of the machinery of fate that they saw streaming across the night sky because they were intense of the power of the Zodiac, the stellar shell inhabit by demons that extended out through to the unimaginable imperium of the all-Father that was beyond fate. And into that world, the Hermeticists announced that fate can be overcome, and they had a novel answer on how it could be done – it can be done through magic is a word not often heard enough by the present world. The overcoming of fate is achieved through magic, and then the stellar machinery becomes not an invasive force but an empowering force in one’s life. Some of us may believe in Astrology, and some of us may not; we are all strongly influenced by the notion of the fate of powerlessness in an existential world; Sartre once said: ‘nature is mute’, and we are embedded in the media-dense and programming dense matrix of this hyper society that we have created. We are like atoms running endlessly according to the blueprint of unseen masters – whether it’s the banking industry or whoever, we tend to disempower ourselves, we tend to believe that we don’t matter – and in the act of taking that idea to ourselves, we give everything away to somebody else, to something else. So, the rebirth of the Stone in ourselves and the possibilities within each of us entails these two ideas: our divinity and our power to overcome fate. There is no inevitability in our lives unless we submit to the notion of inevitability and then give ourselves over to it.” – Terence McKenna. |

Magic is Real – The Rosicrucian Illuminati: Dan Francis Yates wrote a book called “The Rosicrucian Enlightenment”, which traces the history of Alchemical brotherhoods and reveals what they were about. They wanted to take this dream surrounding the Philosophers’ stone and its power, immortality, and insight that it would bring us understanding when seen as a general utility for humankind. Regarding such conception, science/fantasy fiction can enthral the imagination, but in reality, we make sense of it through the wonder of modernity. The summoning of the Holy Spirit into matter can be seen in the creation (or harnessing control through technical means) in our modern world, such as electrical energy. This alchemy examined its pneuma; the trapping of spirits (the mystery of electricity) glorified in the descent of the Holy Ghost into history – in a way, a literalising of the alchemical dream.
After the failed alchemical kingdom of Frederick the Elector, a series of adumbrations of groups followed the same kind of thinking. Like Freemasonry, Illuminati and the Royal Society were efforts to redeem science for the spirit. These are the same alchemical concepts reinvented. Before the brotherhood of the Rosy Cross – the Rosicrucians – emerged from this milieu as a hermetic and alchemical group intent on bringing about a novel and spiritual revolution throughout Europe. They marked a shift from practical to spiritual alchemy.
In the Fama Fraternitatis, the first Rosicrucian manifesto claims the Brotherhood of the Rose and Cross was founded by a German Monk, Father Christian Rosenkreutz [possibly a fictional person], ‘an illuminate man’ who was allegedly born in 1378 and lived to 106. He was knowledgeable about the Magi and Cabala and learned from the masters of wisdom in Persia and Egypt and across the Mediterranean Sea. He lived and devoted himself to drawing up his philosophy and died at age 106. He was buried in an underground crypt where he predicted in his tombstone inscription, “I will be opened after 120 years,” he was correct. A friar found the tomb 120 years later. This would begin the spread of the Rosicrucian programme for the reformation of the world.
A secret brotherhood was formed. It would be founded by R. C. and three other men [possibly ghost founder as R. C. backwards are initials for Christian Rosenkreuts, who itself may be fictional]. Adepts of history have equated the same conclusion as “Christian Rosekreutz”, which is usually understood as a symbolic rather than a historical figure. The Brotherhood created a magical language and writing with the help of a ‘large dictionary’ and possessed the book ‘M’ and one called the ‘rota’. Father R.C. had found the gold of spiritual understanding and was offering gnosis, the knowledge of mystical illumination. It was not to remain within the Brotherhood but to be spread to all humankind. The Fama Fraternitatis declares that the unearthing of the vault heralds “a general reformation, both of divine and human things, according to our desire and the expectation of others; for it is fitting, that before the rising of the Sun there should appear and break forth Aurora, or some clearness, or divine light in the sky.”
Two years after the Confessio, the Chymische Hochzeit Christiani Rosenkreutz, Anno 1459, was published in 1617. Calling itself “Hermetic Romance,” it is an alchemical allegory in which Luna is a well-known symbol of sulphur and mercury. The book is written in seven chapters, and festivities are divided into seven days, mirroring the stages of the alchemical process and the number of the planets.
The failed Alchemical dream and the 30-year war spawned many representations of that Rosicrucian myth. The Rosicrucians itself was a clandestine movement, and as the movement died, it persisted in the Rosicrucian Enlightenment in the early 17th century. The groups, like the “Invisible Ones”, claim to possess secret knowledge unavailable to the general public. The word of the Enlightenment spread throughout Germany, Spain, and France, causing a stir between the Church and the State. A mysterious sect from Spain called themselves the Illuminati appeared in Parris. This little sect didn’t last until the 18th century. Still, it would be a beacon for modern-day conspiracy theories – as the sole wizard behind the curtain belief system – an adversarial Cabal that wants to control the world. Every conspiracy, secret, and upcoming event would be folded or consolidated into this group as the sole culprit. Again, in their lazy announcements, they always find themselves skipping the bit where the Illuminati, a secret society designed to combat Jesuit influence.
Trying to understand why this little sect caused such a stir and attention from conspiracy theorists and terrible modern researchers is unclear; we can safely assume its pure ignorance. Prior to the Illuminati group, various other groups were also competing for enlightenment. The Rosicrucians, for example, influenced Francis Bacon’s work “The Advancement of Learning” (1605), which combined natural philosophy and state knowledge. Bacon called for a “fraternity in learning and illumination.” This influenced his writing of “New Atlantis” (1626), a utopian tale about the City of the Sun, which he referred to as Bensalem (meaning blessed peace). In Bensalem, science and technology were used for the greater good, and it was governed by an Order called “Solomon’s House,” devoted to studying the works of creation. This concept resembled the works of the “Invisible College” of the Rosicrucians, in which philosopher-priests emerged every 12 years from Solomon’s House to gather knowledge and harmonize the world’s movements. These members were referred to as “merchants of light.”
Scholar Frances A. Yates showed the world that the Rosicrucian enthusiasm was entangled with political hopes for the Elector Palatine … then he died. Several years later, a Catholic named Archduke Ferdinand of Styria took reign regardless – there were still many Bohemian reformers led by Jan Hus 100 years before Luther. This is important to know because Bohemians were deeply protestant, and Protestantism is derived from magical thinking despite the Christian fundamentalist truther type’s stance on magic and occultism being a satanic conspiracy. In keeping with their fundamentalist ideologue would mean denouncing its own Christian foundation.
While it’s true that global wealth and power reside in the hands of comparatively few people, from all evidence, this exclusive club consists of their customary mix of those who have inherited their position and those crafty and wilful enough to have fought their way to the top. Personal contacts form a crucial part of this network, but there is no reason to believe that admission to any mystical order confers these benefits to anyone. A clear villain or a clear secret cult group on top is difficult to pinpoint. However, these exclusive groups are still part of these secret fraternities; after that, it’s far removed from their enlightenment days but evolved into something else. To something more technocratic, to something where the light has been reforged into worshipping something adversarial to humankind, such as worshipping God’s fallen angels (Watchers).
While we cannot pinpoint the main fallen deity of worship or even the secret cult group that worships it – on the mission for the destruction of the world through accelerationism and narcissism, in conjunction with civilisation’s natural cyclical rise and fall of civilisation, however, we can follow the symbols and the ritual and the magic. The recent cosmological event in the U.S., the solar Eclipse (on 8th April 2024), is the symbolic marriage of Sol and Luna, and according to the Fama Fraternitatis, we are to look for a divine light in the Sky. So, this Eclipse on the 8th is also followed by the light in the Sky in the form of a Comet named Mother of Dragons, aka Devil’s Comet. Another divine light in the Sky to look out for is these electrical plasma phenomena called blue jets. Truer to its name, the light in the Sky is called Aurora – on the same month in Australia, a light in the sky appears with its own Aurora.
The colour of Space goes Down Under |
.
This symbolic dictum that looking upon the sky for signs alongside worshipping stars, planets and the zodiac is part of the initiatory process and star magic. They have been upholding the same mission since they uncovered Rosenkreutz’s vaults, but their scope has changed. Their mission for the light became adoration for demons, and the groups became more exclusive, but the symbols they used stayed the same. Luciferianism is really a worship of Mithraism. In our contemporary times, we can connect the dots by beginning with the ascent of godhood in the new-atheist movement, which imparts a technocratic and transhumanist worldview, salvation through technology. It’s also about escaping the bonds of time, and Mithras rising above the zodiac represents this escape.
Besides a protestant movement with alchemical beliefs, there is a Christian religion that has evolved into extreme denominations promoting neo-conservatism. This movement supports war for empire and demoralises its Christian followers with backward ideals of socialism and corporate control of medicine, as well as war efforts related to the war in heaven. All of this is done under the guise of Christianity, but it represents something else entirely.
Mithraism and psychedelics go hand in hand, especially about the process of initiation and the inner planes in the Mithraic liturgy describes a beam of light lifting you into a disk-like ship, an occurrence of a UFO encounter 2000 years ago stemming from taking psychedelics. Mithraism religion stems from Watcher Adoration. While you can make a theoretical claim that Lucifer is Mithras, and Mithras is Perseus, it’s undone given the demi-god aspect of Perseus, a father to Zeus or Zoroaster/Yahweh. Watchers are fallen angels, as mentioned in the book of Enoch, who have no genetic links to the creator God.
This is why it’s challenging to pinpoint there must be a sense of responsibility or restraint when attempting to consolidate occult ideas and themes to fit one synchro-mystic thought. You end up mirroring the qualities of fundamentalism. However, there is merit, of course, given the evidence of symbols that all these cult groups, with their varying occult deities and themes, impart a monotheistic framework not for worshipping gods but for these fallen angels.
Regarding the ray of light, UFO encounters have the same meta approach as plasma physics. According to plasma physics, they are electric magnetic energy that is reaching or manifesting in the sky. The eye in the middle of the triangle is Sol, which is also a circle with a dot in the middle as the eye. In ancient times, it was placed inside a pyramid and rested upon an unfinished pyramid. Before that, it was commonly seen as a wheel. The unfinished pyramid is about a black mountain (Rupes Nigra) found at the magnetic centre of the North Pole – it’s an archetypal legend known by many as a mountain of the gods from Olympus, Meru, to cyanide. Theoretical claims it’s a plasma mountain that injects plasmic light into the sky during a magnetic upheaval. The beam magnetises the surrounding volcano, creating a magnetic shield bubble. The plasma that doesn’t escape the magnetic field of the mountain confirms the invisible magnetic force surrounding it; the symbol parallels Aries or the fire of the hermetic hieroglyph while the mountain burns’ a sort of different fire in plasma.
A theoretical claim imparts that magnetic particles will overflow and encompass the world where they need to be released, like a champagne bottle and its corkscrew. This pressure blew holes in the centre of the sky dome – to which, if you look up from the mountain, you see a concentric circle mimicking an eye and its concentric pupils. Upon outside the dome, I suspect your notion of (a)either being filled with electrical, magnetic flowing plasma or ionised hydrogen, which is magenta in colour (the colour of space).
Nasa is part of the secret priesthood of organisations that deeply uphold an alchemical protestant vision of Bruno/Copernican worldview, a view that’s in decline. Christian flat-earthers, especially those that lean conservative or protestant, really like throwing fire at the Catholic Church for heralding a Jesuit conspiracy for a heliocentric view. When it was a protestant alchemical venture, to begin with, the Church opposed the cosmology but had to go along with it due to an angry rising populace. NASA’s objective is to test the army’s missile projects, and considering we are hermetically sealed off – they also magically entrap us in a false simulation view of the world and ourselves. Nasa will fire three rockets at the Solar Eclipse; the mission is called APEP, and these rockets are about R. C. and the three men who created the Brotherhood. The three rockets will transport R. C. to the alchemical wedding of Sol and Luna – upon which he will enter the vortex of marriage, upon which he will further travel through several portals.
Okay, so the eclipse happened; this is the symbolic “wedding”, the alchemical wedding of Sol and Luna and in the “Hermetic Romance”, an alchemical allegory in which R. C. is invited to the royal wedding that will take place over six days [it may be an allegory as well as a Masonic initiation process], but on the first-day swoons away and dreams that are fettered in a pit of darkness and despair. [This is maybe a reference to Mercury Retrograde, an astrological marker for self-reflection and doubt]. A ray of light comes and draws him up, and he can dress for the wedding. On the second day, he travels through a forest, and a tablet is fastened to a tall cedar, signed with the planet Mercury, the symbol of Magnum Opus. The tablet warns him of four roads to the palace, one of which is the Royal Road. He chooses the right one and passes through several portals (using a gold piece and salt) to find himself in an assembly of philosophers. On the third day, he is weighed in a Great Balance, passes the test, and is invested in the Order of the Golden Fleece. – The philosopher Stone, Peter Marshall
He is then shown the wonders of the castle, the Great Phoenix, the Holy Sepulchre, the Globes of the Earth and the Planets. On the fourth day, he is presented to the king and queen, drinks a draught of silence from crystal glass, and witnesses a drama in which a black man kills the royal couple and places them in coffins. On the fifth day, Rosenkreuts sets off for the seven-storeyed Tower of the Gods and, on the sixth day, begins to ascend it with other ‘Artists’ with the help of a ladder. On the third floor, they come across a globe containing a snow-white egg from which hatches the phoenix, the emblem of transformation. On the sixth floor, its breast is opened, and its blood is collected in a chalice. While some artists continue to transmute base metals into gold, Rosenkreutz and a few others are taken to the seventh chamber, where they use the pure blood of the phoenix to bring the king and queen back to life, thereby completing the Magnum Opus. Victorious, the artist returns over the sea to celebrate the real wedding of the king and queen, who are invested as Knights of the Golden and Rosy Cross. – The philosopher Stone, Peter Marshall., It’s worth noting that this alchemical allegory was written by a Lutheran pastor, Johann Valentin Andreae
We spoke earlier about the adumbrations of groups that follow the same kind of alchemical thinking as the Rose and the Cross. Like Freemasonry, Illuminati and the Royal Society were efforts to redeem science for the spirit. Rosicrucian threads wrap themselves around many esoteric groups that arose later. For example, the ten degrees of the Golden Dawn initiation originates with the eighteenth-century Prussian order known as the Gold- und Rosenkreuz. Nor is this surprising: the Golden Dawn was founded by members of a group of high-degree Freemasons who called themselves the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (Rosicrucian Society in England). Freemasons had more links to the Templars than Rosicrucians, and they were institutions rather than a set of spiritual ideas spread out through secret cult groups. Rosicrucianism embodies spiritual ideals wrapped in the framework of protestant Christianity.

Occultism and the Living World (03)
The Awakening:

Heroes in the Sign of Aries: The idea of an infinite cosmology of stars, a revolutionary concept introduced by Bruno, was so powerful that it left the medieval Hellenistic era behind. However, this daring notion led to Bruno’s tragic fate; he was sentenced to death at the stake. This event marked a turning point in our perception of the world that we have not recovered from. Pageau, an Eastern Orthodox symbolist, does not view the world through a pre-Bruno or scientific lens. Instead, he takes a phenomenological approach, a field of study made famous by existentialist thinkers like Sartre. It’s worth noting that Peterson, a friend of Pageau, sees Sartre as postmodern, but his interpretation of postmodernism differs from others. Pageau sees the Flat Earth movement as a resurgence of symbolic thinking and phenomenological thought.
He believes that the scientific worldview uses manipulation and is different from the true scientific method; this manipulative worldview has reached full circle and eating itself like the serpent, which is gold in alchemy. However, he admits that refocusing on empirical analysis, which the traditional world built, is not the solution. Instead, he suggests we trust the authorities, such as NASA, who inform us that the world is round (Heliocentric). He acknowledges that the scientific world has lost meaning, and refocusing on a pre-Bruno worldview is part of a double inversion that started with Bruno. He suggests that the primary focus should be on “meaning” and “consciousness,” which are not exclusive to flat-earthers. Although scientists today differ from traditional thinkers, we can still trust them, (which is a copout).
The death of false science (or ‘scientist says’ masonic cult schemers) paired with current times are seen with genuine misapprehension and also attributed to the serpent eating its tail. The full circle with a dot in the middle, the gold, has symbolic relevance with the symbol of wisdom itself. The serpent eating its tail is the circuit of return – from unconscious abstracting to fully self-conscious, clear perception of reality. (From: “clear thinking”, p.57) Steps involved in becoming conscious of self as fundamental reality. This coincides with Vitvan’s several orders of abstraction. “The circuit return” corresponds with Vitvan’s camera diagram for the abstracting process (in Post-21).
So we have Bruno, who gave his life like Solar Martyr, who died on the 17th, and Q is the 17 letter in the Alphabet; Q is also the snake eating its tail, the Eternal Return. The Heliocentric model Bruno gave us and the language that stemmed from it 500 years later (everything related to hyperreal space and most of the Darwinian model) has run its course. McKenna described it as exhausted, and Pageau voiced a return to meaning and symbology. The inevitable process of self-awareness or awakening means a process of conscious abstracting and, within it, filtering out lies; it is part of the circuit of return synthesis and self-awareness.
Among the conspiratorial realm, a theory has been formulated that they have achieved AGI due to the theoretical laws of Moore’s law, and they’re simply not telling the public. This theory is behind Sam Altman’s (CEO of OpenAI) firing and rehiring. The leak implies that AGI has been achieved internally within the company, and the company has yet to tell the board. AGI can decrypt complex cyphers and algorithms if such a claim is valid. Which the board members deemed a threat, Sam Altman was asked to leave his position. A document posted on 4Chan (be aware of the language used).
When Sam Altman was rehired, and the journalists asked about the Q-Star document, he called it an unfortunate leak. Qualia (and Q-networks) is Q-Star (Q*), a subsidiary of OpenAI. It’s a fact that AI has achieved a superhuman narrow version of AI – and only reiterates a magical universe. The underlining factor is A living universe with language or anything that can conform to language either by biogenesis or engineered via computational adaptive behaviours. As for AGI, it is merely a step-by-step emerging progress or non-progress. Q is the signifier for Horus Q-Horus; regarding Tau analysis, the tau-te-ching reference to the 10,000 things or infinity verse hyperrealism science via the language of astrophysics is not based in reality, so it is a non-starter. It sounds like an infinite analysis of decrypting methods that has no end. A computer language-based version of looking into the abyss – a binary-driven sorcery is still sorcery.
* | The claim for seven trillion grant money is an unlikely proposition. It’s more than NVidia and Microsoft’s combined net worth. Their scope is in the guise of Moore’s Law’s technological advancements theory, which will be rescinded by the fact that CPUs have gone as far as they can by companies with far more experience; no new upcoming company can circumvent that. | |||
* | The claim AGI already exists, at least on an emerging level, but it has yet to be made public. Whether they built the chip for it may be plausible, but for it to be viable on its present chip infrastructure is dubious. Given that they are asking for trillions to restructure the Chip industry. |
A new cosmology implies values in contemporary ideas and concepts, hoping to be more accurate and up-to-date. However, it would help if you also recognized the importance of timeless psychological frameworks and archetypes that have survived throughout history. The author suggests that to understand the world entirely, one must know both contemporary and traditional worldviews. They also raise an interesting point about the potential for mistrust in modern science and whether this could lead to a shift towards a more conventional worldview. Overall, the author highlights the importance of balancing contemporary and traditional perspectives to understand the world completely.
Pageau imparts significance and meaning to hierarchies, which is fine. However, I prefer Habit, a Sheldrake/McKenna term – a cousin terminology for the entropy of the same concept minus the inherent sensibilities or connections towards corporations. It’s fascinating that a symbolist attached to the Orthodox Church (tangent Catholic denomination) is upholding a cosmology brought about by protestant/alchemical enterprise. It is unsurprising when you realise it’s not about cosmology but upholding technocracy, corporations, and legalised corruption. Irrespective of how corporations are doing, they will get bailouts, while fired C.E.Os walk away with 200 million dollars even after collapsing the company (Leeman Bros). Amidst the COVID crisis, the right-wing (Australian) government bailed out 70 billion dollars to the corporations when they didn’t need to. Funds that could have been used towards the social structure of Australia, including environmental needs – they broke every regulatory rule assigned to corporations. Economically brought Australian economics down from where it flourished at the beginning of the Keating era. This is something Marx understood and envisioned towards late capitalism’s stages.
Propaganda has become normalised in Murdoch’s cooperative media, where negative nationalism and conspiracy theories intersect. False populism was what it was described 30 years ago, and fascism now, and not the right-wing hijacked version. The same problem appeared when Cicero was just about to be killed. It is a significantly more critical problem regarding timeline, as it was 2000 years before Christ would appear. An argument regarding cosmological topography seems less important regarding truth and how it reaches the people. While the subject of an alchemical pre-Bruno worldview versus our contemporary one garners a spec of interest to some, it’s just a marginal interest compared to the overall whole. How do you update a traditional (pre-Bruno) worldview while integrating the forms that seem probable from our contemporary one? The answer is intuition and persistence; this is more authentic than what you can get from Pageau.
There are systems in place that are oligarchical, authoritarian, and rooted in propagandising populism, resulting in false favouritism to corporate interests, creating a fascist movement in the process. These groups often operate out of self-interest, and this is just one aspect of the economic rhetoric involved. There is also a conspiratorial and more bizarre side to these dynamics. Various establishments work to silence dissent and erode language, while journalists are disappearing and facing dire consequences in the media landscape. We have been experiencing a desperate push for technocracy, which has led to the rise of populist groups alongside financial corporations engaging in corporatism. This alliance seeks to control language, using advertising and conspiratorial tactics to reduce public discourse to nonsense. Language remains a powerful tool that instils fear in those in power, and we are witnessing increasing violence against free expression, particularly from extremist groups on the fringes of our society.
Alex Garland’s latest film, Civil War, is less about war but how war is perceived, specifically how war is seen on screen or through a lens. A movie in the style of a documentary, its plot is filled with contradiction, with an unlikely scenario entailing two states as allies between California and Texas. It’s ambiguity towards sides as to who started the conflict, with a generic president and an anti-matter president juxtaposed against the likes of Trump. You’re left bemused because it’s not about polarisation or reactionary politics. It is meta-commentary on the American viewers as demoralised players infatuated by propaganda (fake news, conspiracy theory, culture war baiting, etc.) on the backdrop of a manufactured sense of coming threat. The protagonists are photographic /journalist storytellers and their task is complex. They capture reality with explicit violence while maintaining theatrics as entertainment for the people in that universe and our entertainment value. He doesn’t give us a hero’s journey because such a thing doesn’t work in reality, only in fantasy.
Such depictions are met with hollow reviews, especially those that are the loudest: your anti-woke knucklehead’s click-bait culture war personalities who miss the whole point. This means they don’t like possible reality presented to them. At the same time, they preach loudly about reality itself but fail to see its concept when such fate is possible; ‘reality’ becomes incoherent. Even though American politics has become theatrics itself, the overall meaning is to treat democracy better, more sincere and more authentic. If you don’t, the result would entail infatuating your way into war or magically initiating your demise.
Freedom of expression is a fundamental right that should be protected at all costs. Unfortunately, this right has been undermined in Western civilization in recent years. Since 2001, security forces have instilled fear in the public, leading to the erosion of constitutional rights. As our freedom of expression becomes more constrained, it becomes increasingly challenging to reverse the damage. Furthermore, some right-wing intellectuals refuse to acknowledge the trustworthy source of the problem. The real threat to our freedom of expression is not Antifa/woke or left-wing groups; it’s the security agencies that have established these organizations and put them into place.
Your sacred journey, then, is to break those misconceptions as an awakened storyteller and co-creator of the world; you are objectively telling the world its story and how it unfolds while co-creating as your personal theoria. In this regard, the value of framing your story or pilgrimage in terms of quests is your observation of spirit and knowledge alongside synchronicities, symbols, and mythologies. Socrates once described his philosophizing as his theoria.
Bruno’s cosmology arising from Dee’s tangent alchemical dream was a turning point in our perception of the world, one that we have not recovered from. It’s a perception that arose on the foundation of all of earlier thinking. What we call philosophical discourses, one, in particular, discusses “technique” on how it becomes projections onto the matter that you enter into a kind of self-hypnosis where by having these naïve ontological categories – aimed not at being sure how much of mind is there in matter or how much matter is mind. You can erase the boundary between self and the world and project the contents of the world into chemical processes. The Trismagstus hymns are essentially, as you see them, philosophical discourses.
Several schools of thought emerged from here with specific aestheticism consistent with the hermetic approach. Many schools applied gnostic principles, and there were ones reminiscent of vegetarianism/veganism because they felt that man was part of the universe/world (the Vega(n) cults persist today), alongside sects that were orgiastic that practised tantric styles of pleasure. A common throughline was that man was somehow hermetically sealed against contamination and against the universe. As a result, some gnostic schools say you can do anything you want because you are not part of the universe. From here, passive suicide cults emerged, stemming from the belief that we are trapping light in the matter by the act of procreation. As a result, it led to same-sex unions as a way to mitigate the conception of life/light. For them, it was the same as celibacy because the concern was not to trap anymore of the light – these were passive suicide sects that didn’t last long throughout time and their belief system.
Not So Different Today (Just with More Complexity & Personality Disorders): It shows how thorough they were regarding the rejection of the world and how contaminated they felt by the material world. At the same time, they were side by side with optimistic schools that saw nature as something not to be rejected but perfected, a quest to make paradise – stemming from the qualities of the hermetic ideal. When you compare to the present, you can see the same cultural wave intersecting with modernity, but not through some manifestation due to belief, time and spirit (or deity), but through society’s marginalisation. Specific factors that shape our society, such as economics, corporations, technologies, ideologies, religion, and secularism, have precise and measurable impacts, especially towards those who feel disenfranchised.
The introduction of the internet began in DOS prompt-chat messaging boards, and later, the introduction of static HTML sites that conveyed images and music sparked a renascence in communication technology. This was around the mid-nineties, and it would be in 2003 when the last site of that era was called 4Chan – a forum site that discussed anime. However, with increased users, it started to become something else. It grew into something that had its adaptive behaviours in its external users. These outcasts of nerds became a new wave in internet culture from memes and conversations about their desired topics. It is a site with no internal structure for profit but rather a voice for the outcast; its symbol is a caricature frog named Pepe. However, what began as something innocent for the voiceless examined in rick-rolling and trolling – became overrun by slightly different sorts of outsiders, a very right-wing populace group who would inject anti-something sentiments in transgressive memes. What evolved from 4chan became Anon, then QAnon. Anon, short for Anonymous, are hacker types adopting the symbol of Fawkes mask, signifying their rejection towards tyrannical corporatized values; they were anti-establishment and stood against injustices. It’s ironic since that whole gunpowder event was a false flag of its time – either they’re ignorant of their history since it parallels the “9-11 inside job” meme, or they’re symbolically illiterate.
They are anti-establishment, which means they hold some socialist values on one end, but at the same time, nominate someone like Trump as their herald for their disdain towards the elites. A former democrat billionaire who made his fortune on hotels, it’s a face that misaligns their supposed remark on corporatised linear values. They are an organised, goal-seeking minority against the indifferent, apathetic majority. They hold free speech as a quality that made the West great. On one Spectrum, the Pepe frog symbol stood in protest against a communist government in China. On the other, Spectrum supported an outwardly racist corrupt individual in Trump, ever polarising a country at a cliff’s edge away from (Mussolini-like) fascism or was already there and is just a manifestation of current modernity. As the years passed, what seemed to be the last place for free expression (4chan) became a brand with no credibility as a non-profiteering site. Credibility is its capital, and currently, it has none. Die-hard users argue that it was the users who twisted the core principles of 4chan (which are freedom of speech and freedom of thought). Even with its freedoms, there needs to be a sense of responsibility.
All that energy to move social events and activism could’ve been used to educate themselves on the relevance and advantages of an honest socialist structure. To rebuild a Medicare system free from drug corporate hand diggers – having free Medicare means saving thousands of American lives every year. Those who step outside of solipsistic America are amazed to see free Medicare exists. To also reverse a demoralised hypnosis about a Stalin-like conspiracy emerging from Frankfort schools, what they call cultural Marxism was merely a critical theory, a damaging exercise in social critique aimed at undermining the status quo in hopes of changing society for the better.
The critique references the work of Marcuse, which would outline the contours of the culture-wars rhetoric (political correctness or woke-ism and identity politics). Despite its desired outcome, it went against the foundation that Adorno Horkheimer developed (Traditional Theory); Adorno took over as director of Frankfurt in 1930. He saw critical theory as unremitting criticism to be oppressive and dehumanising. Is it just coincidence that the Frankfurt school moved to Cambridge, New York, on the eve of the Nazi war (1933), and by the end of the war, Project Paperclip began (1946) two groups with two opposing totalitarian ideologies in the same country, seems odd that’s all.
In the past, measures were put in place to establish a think tank that would advance a totalising deep state, regardless of any left or right ideology. In this era of polarisation, the game is held, and the belief that Trump was the sole obstacle standing in the way of this deep state is a deluded way of thinking. A clown in a suit is still a clown, and anyone who believes in the gaslight is simply being fooled. The connection between the emergence of the internet and secret investigative agencies is an open book; it’s no secret that they funded it. As readers, you can question the status quo and delve deeper into this relationship.
Cultural Marxism is a term often used in political discourse, but it is important to understand its origins and meaning. While some may dismiss it as a myth or a misnomer, it is a real phenomenon that scholars and intellectuals have studied. However, it is important to be cautious of right-wing conspiracy theorists that may use this term in a conspiratorial and unfounded way, such as in the notion of the “Black Pope.”
It is also important to note that while the Frankfurt School and other philosophers and existential thinkers have contributed to modern Western civilisation, they cannot solely be blamed for any crisis that may arise. Just as there were gnostic sects that felt they were hermetically sealed from the universe, some individuals today may also be closed off from different perspectives and ideas, leading to a limited and demoralised viewpoint.
Jung, a famous psychologist, developed the concept of individuation to achieve a psychological hermetic apotheosis. However, the wrong kind of individuation can result in concealment, which is a hindrance to growth and progress. Overall, it is important to approach these complex topics with an open mind and a willingness to learn and understand different perspectives.
It is a widely accepted fact that a solid economic structure is the backbone of a prosperous society. However, when this structure fails, it can also have a ripple effect on the societal structures. For instance, the population decline in countries like China and Japan has significant death rates due to insufficient medical care. The economic market has led to 300 million people becoming jobless in China alone. Moreover, the younger generation in these countries is choosing to stay single and not have families, leading to an increased aging population in Japan without enough people in the middle to support them. This situation is a warning for the West to take notice of and address before it’s too late. We must work towards finding solutions to these economic and social dysfunctions to prevent the rise of suicide cults and a resulting depopulation crisis.
In Western societies, there seems to be an increase in raunch culture accompanied by the rise of extreme fringe groups. Many women have taken to social media to record their lives, partly because they feel that men are not approaching them anymore. Additionally, women who have gone through a divorce are now facing financial difficulties coupled with the thought that men are not interested in them either. Some women also feel resentful towards men who go overseas in search of a wife with more traditional and conservative values. These women might not have given those men a chance otherwise, but still, they feel annoyed by them. Men have observed this behaviour and realised that approaching these women is often futile. They believe that feminist beliefs have indoctrinated these women and have developed an entitled persona. Feminism might play a part, and there could also be some underlying personality disorders at play. Some people also believe that this behaviour is a result of female chauvinism, as described by Ariel Levy, where women make sex objects out of themselves and other women.
2005 was a year for these provocative biographies – the last need to disseminate our cultural adoration of ancient gods of desire and sex like Inanna/Ishtar or Dionysus, the male version – before fast broadband along with streaming; cam voyeurism and internet porn took prominence. Kate Holden tries to conclude her book by paralleling her experience as some business venture into experience with strange individuals like networking as opposed to being the whore of Babylon, ‘yeah’ nice try. Niel Straus was strangely finishing his book while living with a hand-trick magician and Courtney-Love, and Niel was seeing Courtney’s bass player at the time. I wrote about Courtney in Post-17, her twin self, and the occultism of fame and adoration for the siren motifs. Strauss needs to write about picking artists and proceeds to write a methodology on how to do it, coming up with terms like ‘negging.’ (Negging is gas-lighting), the whole concept doesn’t sit right with me; it seems dehumanising to women that any woman can be trained or psychologically manipulated to consort with them sexually.
There is dishonesty about it, a hit-and-quite-it motive. Barney Stinson (from How I Met Your Mother) is derived from this pick-up archetype, and there is shallowness about these types of persons because there is Karma in the universe. Force is found in AI, an intelligence of sorts with adaptive behaviours. There is a parallel that is much as alive as AI, a force that we all intuitively known as “Love”. When you’re describing a successful pick-up with two women after that, two women and Felitio are involved, implying a porn star without being a porn star can garner attention from those lonely, marginalised males in society.
Like with any good salesman, all he was selling was confidence, and your manosphere groups’ incels and mgtow groups caught its attention. Incels are subcultures who are unable to have sexual relationships, and they project these frustrations, grievances and jealousy towards women. They have their vocabulary and are known to be associated with extremism and violence. There is deep-seated hate towards women that goes beyond anxious virgins. It’s an active suicide cult that has no empathy towards those that they find adversarial and no guilt in taking them and themselves down to oblivion. He will come back a monster in a psychological and mythological genealogy towards the demiurge and his alienation from the upper spiritual world. The takeaway is when there is a deep feeling of alienation, the person will always return as a monster.
This is something to watch out for as it imposes a threat so liminal paralleling extremism of school shootings alongside modern cults and suicide cults reminiscent of neo-gnostics cults found in the Heavens’ Gate (literal suicide cults). MGTOW is less extreme than its predecessor. They are not inherently anxious virgins but instead have been emotionally scarred by them. They are an answer to feminism as it focuses on male separatism and the men’s rights movement. They have a disdain towards pick-up artists (PUAs) as they desire to separate from unhealthy, toxic women, and PUAs use techniques to have sex with them. Downstream from mgtow are your SIGMA males adopting a sort of stoicism to their identity.
As much as there are reactions to female chauvinism – on the manosphere side, there are external variables:
* | Conspiratorial aspects (MK-Ultra) | ||
* | The social engineering side of things | ||
* | The increase of mental illness in both genders in modern society |
.
There is also PTSD from trauma, usually from abuse and sexual abuse. Most borderline disorders come from girls/women – and the underlying truth is they’re unable to keep a long-standing relationship due to their symptoms, created from symptoms of PTSD, usually from narcissistic abuse. The sequence of external events and internal processes inside and outside the borderline – as she believes she is about to be rejected or abandoned even if it’s not the case – she will manifest her worst fear. Her anticipatory and pre-emptive behaviours bring about what she had been dreading all along. Whatever the reactions to the partner are in conjunction with her primitive behaviour pattern called “splitting”, this is the dual concept of left and right, black and white in broader terms, seeing something as either all good or all bad with no grey between. Such is the viewpoint in psychology in terms of reality and politics; left-wing and right-wing are inherently immature.
In 2005, a film, Mysteries Skin, showcased a very dark look at trauma through the eyes of two boys. In their psychosexual trauma, one has forgotten that his subconscious formalised trauma in imagination as an alien abduction narrative in his conscious mind. The other hasn’t forgotten but has become a void, a black hole in his internal function (The Walking Dead). |

The BPD switches sides like a pendulum and determines certain factors. The same person can be lousy yesterday and a good person today. Their dysregulated emotions become abnormal as the bad person from yesterday has been wiped from memory. They don’t have their identities defused, meaning they don’t have a core self, so they find it in their partners. The partner fills the ego functions; the partner is her ego. Like the alchemical qualities of mercury in the sign of Aries, she will engulf him like fire, like a venom parasite, as she possesses him as she becomes him … her ego. Unlike a narcissist and their false self, the borderline merges with the partner in a process called external regulation. There is no winning strategy with borderline. It’s always a losing situation. Passive suicide cults’ rejection of the world has come forth in alchemical gold in the borderlines abandonment issues; this rejection of the world is internalised in their perplexing psyche as any form of behaviour is a rejection or an abandonment issue. But unlike the borderline, the passive suicide cults have their identities intact with a romantic gesture to unconsciousness.
Our Collective Initiation through Ordeal: The early cult groups saw the world as an enclosed system or hermetically sealed, after which they broke into numerous groups. One focused on orgiastic and tantric methods, and we can safely assume it had evolved by the late 19th century. An initiation process for some Wicca groups was examined using Gardnerian methods, which consisted of three degrees (the great rite). The ceremony for the third-degree initiation, as described by Gardner, represents the great rite as an act of ritual intercourse between the candidate and the conferring Priest or Priestess (whichever is of the opposite sex).
These practices are all consensual and private, and it’s up to the participants to decide whether to perform the Great Rite. Typically, the initiation comes in seeking a competent practitioner or master – if you fail, there is self-initiation until a master can confer you formally. There is also the initiation of the “inner planes”, where an individual has a mystical experience with entities (far removed from enlightenment experience). Such an experience with entities confers power, knowledge, or authority. Such an experience will have its authority on the person who undergoes it.
Travelling through the inner planes, you will eventually meet numerous serpent-like entities. In the serpent eating, its tail motif is also a symbolic reference to the circuit of return alongside being a symbol of DNA (two serpents in a spiral staircase position) and the serpent tempting Eve. In the animist cultures, the serpent plays a significant role in mythology. Some have led humanity to do horrible things often interwoven with Pharmakie (drugs for spiritual purposes), in which human sacrifices are involved and usually part of their ritual –particularly in animist pagan cultures like the Aztecs. The idea of Pharmakie as a conspiracy theory sounds like utilitarian mysticism; it is essential to note that understanding absolute statistics through historical context requires being physically present, which is impossible. This method serves as a fundamentalist argument and can provide valuable insights, but it is essential to acknowledge its limitations and potential biases. Graham Hancock, through his psychedelics (DMT) accounts, has seen a humanoid serpent being he calls “mother ayahuasca,” which seems to parallel Greek’s representation of threat in Medusa; she’s meant to deter threat; she is an image of evil to repel evil.
Let’s not forget the sympathetic approach to fallen angels and their’ lore; people’s understanding of serpents notably found Judaism sees fallen angels as positive beings. In the Garden of Eden, who, like the fallen angels, were considered evil but sometimes were interpreted as sympathetic. In the Zohar, the serpent is both an evil inclination and a real serpent (i.e. fallen angel Samael). The fallen one rides on the back of the serpent to get to Eden to tempt Eve. In doing so, Eve was impregnated by the serpent, leading to the birth of Cain. This interpretation predated the Garden of Eden narrative. These fallen angels became known as watchers, watching over humans before deciding to give humans knowledge.
The human approbatory “becoming like gods” stems from this knowledge given to humans. However, they have become pejorative in modernity because technology has been hoarded by the few with a sense of entitlement as curators enthralled by bloodline. Hierarchical lineages give them dominion over the world; they deny knowledge to the people and would rather control them. On the other hand, people are given the Heroic ascension of the afterlife. In this afterlife, they are given Apotheosis, the literal point at which a human becomes divine, a gnostic rite of transcendence. This is quite different to the ascent of apotheosis through Lucifer’s technology where all transhumanism and big tech comes from.
So, it’s understood that psychedelic drugs played a role in the initiation process. Within some aspects of cult groups, there is also an initiation phase in Masonic groups that entails a recording of your shame or sexual misconduct, a signing away your soul. In this regard, it can be used to ruin your career or position that you may have if you ever step out of line, where your credibility and reputation are made public. Usually found in initiation through masonic fraternities. All stemming from the ancient practice of trial by ordeal was an ancient judicial practice by which the guilt or innocence of the accused was determined by subjecting them to a painful, or at least an unpleasant, usually dangerous experience.
We’ve come to realise that the ruling class and corporatism have links to psychopathy, to which their narcissism traits flourish. As we discussed earlier in the essay about death and the initiatory path towards Aries – we need to face death at some point. If we can understand death in a way that gives us choice, intimacy, and meaning, it will impart the wisdom of identification of the immortal aspect of being (a good death).
It’s essential to understand the concept of Narcissism, as it is often a symptom of psychopathy and the desire for power that is perpetuated through secret or non-secret cult groups. These groups usually view death differently than others, as they tend to see individuals as nothing more than mere external objects. Narcissists are incapable of truly understanding or interacting with external objects meaningfully. Their primary function often centres on dissociation, cutting off or forgetting about others because they view them as threatening their control. Narcissists fear those who are independent, autonomous, and energetic because they cannot be fully controlled.
You, as a person with spirit and empathy, are capable of abandoning the Narcissist; therefore, you constitute a threat to them because you have externality and separateness. The Narcissist will then forget about you, but if they must interact with you – they will only do so as an internal object that represents you in their mind. They are forced to remember you only when you act with independence, only when you make choices that have nothing to do with them, and every time they have to recall you, it makes them angry because they have already killed you in their minds. It makes them resentful and angry because it exhausts them every time they cycle in their minds of amnesia and recall, forgetting and remembering, or deleting and resurrecting – the process is tiring and corrosive. It reaches a point where they have eliminated you metaphorically; you no longer exist in an external object. Narcissists don’t know anything about belonging, acceptance, and social interaction. They don’t have positive emotions; they envy you and want to take over you, steal your life, and they want to become you by destroying you. Everything you own and have worked for, every idea you had, and every person in your life will become theirs as they become you. For that, you must disappear. They have killed you metaphorically and sometimes literally also
This is called anchoring; they know how to interact with people; if they find an intimate partner, they become the anchor and want to convert them into their imagining figment; they want to bear with them their humanity, separateness, individuality, independence, autonomy, and agency. They want death. There is a focus on death and ablution of the death extinct. All other beings exist in libido or on the force of life, “Eros.” The narcissist is the embodiment and rarefication of the death extinct – they kill things, relationships, and their fantasies, and then they kill themselves. It started as a child when they killed themselves, then was reborn as a narrative, a fiction, a dead object. At an early age, they rendered themselves dead so as not to feel hurt and shame, pain, and rejection, and so he proceeded with life as a walking dead. They infect us with their death and introduce us to the cycle of grieving, stress, and trauma as people wither away, losing drip by drip any hint of life that may have occupied that person who has light. You are dying together with the narcissist, and they see in themselves as if they are the ones giving life but are a vampiric soul.
These secret cult groups situated in these ruling class positions are often psychopaths filled with narcissism. Given how they see death, the death extinct is in conjunction with their motives of power and sorcery, which result in a world in despair. The depravity, darkness, and evil in the world are mirrored in their quality, and we know most of the darkness is engineered by them, such as wars, famine, economic despair, etc.
These cult members that have the death extinct control all of the media, and pop culture and entertainment and media itself are reaching their end because it’s a natural aspect of the circuit of return. Along with social media, we recognise a more significant challenge, an initiatory ordeal. Some equate it with the climate crisis, but I would suggest an alchemical introspective turmoil of mental illness, which is concerning because there is no spark in it. They are semi-vessels for demonic possession and influence. Those with light have to co-exist with them, and some are even related to them. To escape their death in themselves, we create space for no contact, but given the world’s infrastructure is based on their narcissism, and we live inside that structure, no contact, in a more accurate sense, can never really be fixed.
When you examine the material world and see how diaphanous it is, it’s not as solid as you might think, as things tend to dissolve over time, even those that we consider most exemplary of physical reality, such as mountains. The poet says: the hills are shadows, and they flow from form to form, and nothing stands. It’s like music. It simply disappears; for that reason, it’s one the highest and spiritualist of the arts because of its transience. So, transience is the mark of spirituality, not the everlasting things. The more things are permanent, the more things are lifeless. Nothing is as dead as a diamond, but the idea that the most mineral of objects is the most permanent gets associated with the spiritual – Jesus Christ is called the ‘rock of ages.’
The idea is to impose in the physical world the idea of ‘thingness’, of substantiality, to be involved in matter and to identify with the body. To believe the body is something constant or tangible when, in fact, the body is intangible, it is falling apart; age and time loom. So, if you cling to the body, you will be frustrated. The whole point is the material world; the world of nature is marvellous, so as long as you try not to lean or cling to it. If you try to possess people and make your sexual passion possessive, you are clinging to the physical world.
The Incel groups have put so much stock on the possessive material of the female body as objects to possess alongside their narcissistic distortion of themselves as someone more superior or intelligent. Freud would have instantly prescribed the group to go to a brothel and lose their virginities as quickly as possible. A means to deescalate their deluded perception of the sins of the flesh can be a way to mitigate their outward frustration with the female body and themselves. The initiatory path requires a coming age, and these guys are stuck in the infantile mode of thinking. And that’s not to say all virgins are incels or have mental issues; rather, a marginal few are emotionally infantile that lean towards psychopathy and narcissism.
When Saint Paul talks about the opposition of the flesh and spirit, he uses the spirit as a spiritual category; for Christians, the word is made flesh in Christ. There will be a resurrection of the body in the final consummation of the universe. As an orthodox Christian, you can’t take an antagonistic attitude towards the flesh – Saint Paul made it consistent in the New Testament – that what he meant was a specific kind of category and never meant as the literal flesh. The sins of the flesh are about hang-ups that we have about our bodies.
Passive suicide cults are a wrong summation of a group affected by what society has become as opposed to those gnostic schools of old. It’s different they were seeking and longing for spirit and place they were originally from as opposed being pushed to margins because of society. While it’s true that throughout time they inevitably disappear, it’s less of a foreshowing ‘sin’ in attempts of suicide, instead, a letting go of lineage. Passive gnostic suicide cults of old seek it out while the other being affected by society itself. Nothing gets passed on; the initiatory path gets cut off before it truly manifests, and there is only a short window to make a change. All spiritual people in a sense have a misapprehension about sex; it’s not as crucial as one claims. And there should be a differential between different groups in the marginal societies’ not all ideologies are the same.
These white men who are marginal feel a sense of oppression (that feels real to them), the types that go on 4chan and may or may not have an understanding of anti-social behaviour. It is very different to your average conservatives who are right-wing but are within the same circles and all identify a demoralised view on communism – and tend to all like edge-lord films (movies like Joker, matrix, fight-club, etc.). This is also different to those who feel marginal, isolated, and introverted with a schizoid personality type. The notion of gods choosing their heroes or, in a more Christian sense, God choosing his chosen ones speaks to the idea of spiritual awakening that is found increasingly in the latter scope of marginal groups (the spiritual types that the Bible refer to as the meek) – and not so much who tend to lean towards extremism. Passive suicide cults, in their transience, will eventually die off, and the rich with the idea of ascent through evolution are the entitled inheritors (usually having no skills, the non-awaken, dark magicians, watcher worshippers, etc.) who continue to rule the world.
Therefore, in that short time, we must work towards becoming heroes and forge new pathways to heroism. My role is visionary work, seeking patterns in mysticism, its connections, and symbols. We are part of the Avant-Garde and are trying to work towards becoming heroes and forge new pathways to heroism. In an age where our heroes are dying, singers/artists in the past three decades have left us, some ripe with ritual and symbology attached to their deaths. We have no other real singer or artist to take the baton. It’s important to note here that there is a secondary romantic notion that we have abilities in accelerated evolution. We are out of sync with the dominant culture. If one is inclined to lump us ßas marginal, there is also a limited time in the world – (the spirits or gods and their sense of ironies, right?).

Occultism and the Living World (02)
The Awakening:
.
.
The Aspirations of the Solar Cultist Bruno: The 30-year war was triggered by the end of the alchemical dream, a concept initiated by Dee. This dream, which had a profound impact, was a driving force in the political dynamics of Europe during the war. Initially, the region was under the dominion of popes and kings. However, according to the war’s conclusion, parliaments and people had taken the reins. This period marked a significant shift, with the medieval world fading into a distant memory. England, in particular, embraced this new political order and emerged as a beacon for modern science. Post-alchemical renascence thinkers interpreted these changes as reflections of contemporary science.
There seems to be a strange cosmic fate between Maier and Descartes, just as there is one between Bruno and Dee. Bruno was the one person who turned a magical cosmology into a science. In a wishful fictional alignment, the two would have crossed paths in London but missed each other by two weeks. Bruno sailed to England, while Dee went to France on his Rosicrucian mission. The novel “Agypt” by John Crowley retells these two men’s lives, philosophies, and ideas, highlighting their differences.
Embarking on a personal odyssey through the cosmos, guided by the insights of psychedelics, Bruno experienced a transformative moment of clarity. This profound observation led him to reject the old worldview that had confined the soul, and instead, he unveiled a cosmological vision of a living earth revolving around a divine sun. In this new vision, countless other worlds populated an infinite universe, all propelled by the captivating force of magical animism. Bruno’s act of cognition not only dismantled the old cosmological vision but also aimed to liberate the soul from its confinements.
The philosophical roots of both Bruno and Dee can be traced back to the influential figure of Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, who features in Faust. Agrippa’s “Dalibria Quatro de Occulta Philosophia,” a cornerstone of European magic, was a product of his studies under the Trithemius. This work deeply influenced both Bruno and Dee. Bruno, in particular, was a champion of the alchemical spirit and saw hermetic philosophy as the true religion, with Hermetica and Cabala also leaving their mark. The profound connection between Agrippa, Bruno, and Dee is as intriguing as the relationship between Freud and Jung.
He had a complex set of beliefs. On one hand, he believed in the alchemical worship of “God in things” ‘its profound magic,’ and its view, expressed in Asclepius, that the ‘magnum miraculum homo est.’ He also admired the Egyptians for their devotion to the One in all. However, he wanted to introduce these ideas to Europe in a new way to bring about a cosmic and moral revolution. He created a form of numerology called “mathesis”, which used symbols, such as a gold sun sign for mentus, a silver moon for intellectuals, and a five-pointed star for amoris. He supported the idea that religion and science were intertwined, particularly the Egyptian religion and that a divine mind could gain godlike powers. Due to his controversial ideas, he was executed by the Church in 1600.
His death laid out as a martyr according to his followers, who continued his work in the likes of Tommaso Campanella — continued in the revolution based on the hermetic principles of Las Citta del sole (1602 ‘City of the Sun), a work that reflects the ideal city of Adocentyn in the Arabic Picatrix. Tommaso is a hermetic believer in the World Soul and the intimate correspondence between heaven and earth. The City of the Sun was designed like a Compass or Celtic cross with four roads going in each of the four directions and, in the middle, the round Sun Temple. The City of the Sun and its architecture are run by adepts called Solarians.
The Vatican had good reason to be fearful of Bruno and Campanella in their desire to bring about religious, moral and social revolution based on hermetic philosophy. Thomas Aquinas had defended magic and alchemy, and many priests, especially in Dominican circles, were being won over by the new vision. Even popes were not immune. The Hermetic philosophy was a great attraction and a considerable threat. Hermeticism as a whole is a culmination of magic (spirit) and science, and such a position can be contradictory in itself, which, at times, the Vatican (Church) has shown. Determining its official position against modernity mimics those who claim that spirit science is a mixed bag, recognised in its position that either you get bad science or lousy mysticism combined. The Church has the same position by keeping science and religion separate.
Separate disciplines are its true position, but see science more favourable; if it’s not science, the Church won’t recognise it. Alchemy is out of place today and is merely part of the history of science alongside magic. The Church and its arm of the Inquisition had rejected the findings of science and persecuted their practitioners if they conflicted with official dogma. The Middle Ages version of Fox News or Murdoch News Empire was about propagandising that Bruno and Copernican theory of a satellite cosmology would result in their deaths – as a reflection on the Church’s insistence that the biblical interpretation, which states the earth is at the centre of the universe. I submit to you that they never folded in that belief. Still, instead, Bruno’s death was by superstition, not science, and the Church’s genuine fear was being threatened by the revolutionary uproar and the reintroduction of an ancient Egyptian cult stemming from worshipping the sun.
The death of the alchemical dream alongside medieval politics also meant the death of these spiritual artisans like angel dealings, horoscope casting, and alchemy-pursuing visionaries of Rosicrucians renascence became simply objects of historical curiosity – utterly incomprehensible to the people who followed them throughout the generations. With the birth of a new democracy, politics has established itself and prophesied in Descartes’s vision that this new world and its new cosmology will be measured in numbers. Until the present, where we inherited a world whose ideologies are exhausted and can only be refreshed from the marginalities of societies. Back to meaning, back to the alchemical dream or somewhat less ritualistic and hermetic and back to being (oh, you know, just) “good.”

The image on the right is still from the science fiction drama Three-Body Problem, based on a novel by the same name. The picture shows a physics teacher about to be executed during the Maoist Cultural Revolution in China simply because he believed in physics. Before he died, he declared that science cannot determine whether or not God exists. This means that science cannot prove the existence of God, and faith alone cannot be proven either. However, some people interpret this scene as the death of science in modern times. If we remove the Chinese cultural context, this scene could symbolise what is happening worldwide. People are starting to see the flaws within science. This scene is like a litmus test: if you take away something society has held in high regard for centuries, such as science, a revolutionary revolt may occur. Some Christian conspiracy groups, such as flat-earthers and Christian conspiracy theorists, are among those who are trying to reveal the flaws in science. Therefore, some people believe that this scene symbolises the death of science, which is also the death of alchemy’s poor substitute.
What came out of the new-atheist movement invoked pride in facts (and rationalism), and we know facts are just building blocks for rationalism. We see these facts in evolution, which is wrong apart from the adaptive behaviours found in A.I., and facts that are found in space cosmology, which is wrong apart from its magical inherency or diluted aspect of Hermeticism. This rationalism is used for political correctness and finds its parallel in Maoism, which is very close to what woke-sim is today. But let’s not forget that woke-ism does not create ideas. Rather, they take those ideas and, like a parasite, change them to fit their agenda. Also, the left never changed or never went anywhere. Instead, as McKenna describes DMT, the world has been replaced. The left was replaced by a cult post-leftist organisation that seemed to have a high liberal reach. The true left is still there; they are just made silent, and those who speak for them don’t honestly talk for them.
The image on the left shows Bruno’s execution, representing the same problem on the right panel. A significant perspective in this context comes from St. Thomas Aquinas, who believed that if something is scientifically proven, we can’t use theological or philosophical reasons to deny its truth. Instead, we should adjust our interpretation of the Bible because two valid proofs can’t contradict each other. We can’t use theology to define scientific concepts, but science can’t explain all theological mysteries. These two approaches can work together and complement one another.
It is challenging to prove the concept of hyperreal space as a cosmology, just as it is difficult to prove evolution. The argument here is that there may be an element of magic involved. Giordano Bruno introduced a new cosmology known as the Alchemical dream, which John Dee originally started. However, even though this concept fails, it has come full circle and become an alchemical symbol for gold. It’s like your dream about finding gold coins on the ground, which you keep picking up as you discover more.
The Sloarians are practitioners of benevolent magic who follow the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus. They ensure that the City of the Sun, designed to imitate the city of light described by the Chaldeans, is in harmony with celestial influences so that its inhabitants can enjoy good health, happiness, and virtue. According to a manuscript that Campanella wrote while he was in prison, the high priest of the Solarians is represented by a circle with a dot in the centre, which is the alchemical symbol for gold.

Difference Between Magic and Sorcery: In Colin Wilson’s “The Occult, A History”, his summation of the difference between magic and sorcery is important. Primitive man possessed super-sensory instincts of the lower animals: telepathy and intuition of danger that was needed for hunting. 60.000 years ago, the age of Cro-Magnon man appeared, and magic came in the form of Stone Age science (fires and stone tools). – Colin Wilson
The inevitable occurred; the ‘white,’ sympathetic magic of the shamans turned into something more personal. Sorcery came into existence. Sorcery must be dearly distinguished from ordinary magic or witchcraft, which is simply the use of extrasensory powers – that is, telepathy and water-divining are simple forms of witchcraft. Sorcery is the attempt at the systematic use of such powers by means of ‘spells,’ potions, rituals and so on. A simple distinction would be to say that witchcraft is fundamentally passive, sorcery fundamentally active. – Colin Wilson |
.
Witchcraft and magic depend upon higher levels of consciousness, a wider grasp of reality than man normally possesses, and in this regard are close to mysticism. Sorcery may depend upon supernormal powers, but it sets out from everyday consciousness, the everyday personality. The characteristic of the everyday personality is its will-to-power. The mystical urge, on the other hand, transcends all these – examined in poets and their intuitive connection with the mysteriousness of the universe. – Colin Wilson
This is interesting. It means right-centric Christian intellectuals blame postmodernism as an intellectual prerequisite to affirm notions that the ‘acquisition power’ is built into postmodernism. This not only is wrong but also misleads their followers. [You can argue men are naturally driven by these urges as part of self-transcendence, as examined in politicians lying to win elections or corporations and their desire for money and power. The essential difference is that the poet somehow ‘rejects himself;’ he is not interested in his personality and its aggrandisement. The difference between a magician and a sorcerer is that the magician is disinterested, like a poet or scientist; the sorcerer wants personal power. – Colin Wilson].
The Protestant movement that failed in Prague became reactionary and went to the American Federation. Still, it was not a true federation as it was created within a nineteenth-century Enlightenment model. Countries like Canada and Australia were formed in a medieval style from the mid-nineteenth century and were not intended to be classic nation-states. The US is like a malignant narcissistic big brother to Canada, Australia, and other Commonwealth countries. It is impossible to cooperate with or detach from, as it is psychologically entrenched.
The protests against the Church may have been driven by indifference. However, the Church gave in to their demands because they shared similar concerns in the bigger picture. The ideas about magic and the future are influenced by power and sorcery. Since there are variations in magic and sorcery, it’s essential to delve into the intricacies of distinguishing between a genuine cosmology and a stylized version of Bruno/Copernican cosmology. It’s up to you to decide which is which, but remembered that a satellized cosmology is based on a spell and has already been established. The mathematical languages used in physics and astronomy are simply tools that support the spell. Some may argue that this satellized cosmology is just a semantic derivation of the previous cosmology, but they can run parallel in some instances.
Bruno was a sorcerer who died like a witch. To truly understand Christians’ “dogmatic warnings” about magic, we must denounce Bruno’s worldview, which was based on false and hyperreal sorcery. This means that aspects of the Protestant movements, such as a satellized worldview that includes believers external to Protestantism (which practically everyone currently holds), must be folded back into a pre-Bruno worldview. For Protestants, this means going back to Dee’s alchemical dream.
Of course, its abstract is too large, and disenchantments come in fragments. It’s implied that our modern society is so obsessed with technology and progress that it has created a false reality or hyperrealism in which we live. People believe in this reality so much that it has become a fact, even if it may not be entirely accurate. In hopes of maintaining this false reality, secret plans and events (rituals of star magic) are organised to create symbolic and magical connections to astrological events. For example, the moon landing was a well-planned ritual that NASA used to create an incentive for star magic. Similarly, other space launches and space stations are like symbolic altars for NASA. Overall, the text implies that our reliance on technology and our desire for progress have led us to create a false reality that we believe in so strongly that we are willing to perform rituals and magic to maintain it.
It’s no coincidence that Bruno died on February 17, 1600. The letter ‘Q’ is the 17th letter in the alphabet and is considered to be a symbol of the Egyptian god Horus. Horus is a falcon-headed deity whose right eye represents the Sun or Morning Star, symbolising power and quintessence. His left eye represents the Moon or Evening Star, symbolising healing.
It’s also worth mentioning that NASA wanted to fire three rockets at the moon during the eclipse, and they called this mission “APEP” (Aapep, Apepi, or Apophis). They wanted to study the Sun’s corona, but what they want to tell you is that it’s also a symbolic suggestion to wound the moon so Horus’s eye starts to flicker, which is a reference to the blinking Algol (demon) star in the Perseus Constellation. |
.
Bruno is the Chris(t) Cornell of his time. Instead of being the crucified, hanged man, he is burnt at the stake and made to look like a lamb for heresy in parallel with witchcraft and witch burnings. In a sense, fire is one element of the five in Wiccan tradition – in a sense, for his spell to work to truly transform (in speculation) a soul for sorcery to transform a cosmology to his making. When we discuss transformation, we have to acknowledge the work of Lull, where he describes argentum vivum (mercury), a substance known as original matter, and it is said that God used original matter to create all things: the Angels, the heavenly spheres, plane(ts), stars, and the terrestrial bodies. Part of the mercury became the four elements of fire, air, earth and water. But there is a fifth element, the quintessence. Horus’s right eye (the sun) is found in its pure state in the heavenly spheres.
This is interesting. The heavenly spheres are your moon and the Sun, different from the plane(t) of existence – meaning the celestial spheres are contained within the body of the plane(t). Thanus/Thanos is simultaneously God-like with the glove and God-King without – he is Ra with the glove and Yan without. So, when Horus covers the Sun with his left eye/moon, Ra loses his power, and the fifth element (quintessence), so Ra and his sun-cult minions try to destroy it symbolically.
It is said that Lullian adepts wanted to manipulate the power of the fifth element and increase its activity for the world. To obtain the quintessence of the fifth element, they experimented with hallucinogenic alcohol, but the process of doing it was in tune with alchemy. Modern science couldn’t reproduce what they had, but what resulted was the release of purified ‘spirit’ from gross matter, which had great symbolic importance for the alchemist. Sipping his ‘brandy’ of the angels,’ he may have had wondrous visions of the whole.
McKenna once stated that alchemy and shamanism are seamless enterprises, and shamanism is a hallucinogenic pursuit full of adepts who can codify symbolic meaning beyond our reality. Surprisingly, Bruno’s moment of clarity was induced by psychedelic drugs, which inspired his infinite space cosmology. He was also a student of alchemy, and the connecting figure between the Sharman and Alchemist is about mixing bases. The Sharman and the Smith, according to primitive cultures, are associated with brotherly figures.
The Vatican had a clear intention to explain away past errors concerning the Inquisition (political upheaval of the time) and also to condemn Hermetic philosophers and alchemists and had all the intention to keep science and religion separate and distinct. To some academics, alchemy was merely superstition like magic or astrology; it had nothing to contribute to either theology or science. Of course, this is a falsehood, given the evidence and argument I laid out before you. A remark regarding sun worship being pagan while superstition can be found in alchemy can justify merit. To say science and religion are the only things that can hold value to truth is a misconception.
Erroneous Psychologism: Today, the belief in alchemy is often ridiculed and considered a joke, much like the belief in a flat earth. It seems doomed to extinction as its intellectual adversaries march on proudly in their Darwinian cults of scientific progress. However, the early treatises of the Corpus Hermeticum, early Platonic philosophy, and the Hebrew Scriptures played a significant role in the emergence of gnostic thought.
In comparing Mesopotamian and Alexandrian times and what came out of them, it is important to clarify the concept of modern Gnosticism. Mesopotamian Gnosticism was characterised by paranoia, severity, radicalism, duality, rigour, and aesthetics. In contrast, Alexandrian Gnosticism was more urban, cosmopolitan, libertine, and permissive. While the Mesopotamian sect still exists today, the Alexandrian sect has vanished. Nowadays, Gnostics are often targeted by orthodox groups and face persecution. We are currently in a gnostic age, but the polarity has shifted and definitions have changed due to urbanisation, communication technology, and technological advancements in general. This is an age where traditionalism has fallen away because of the radical changes that have emerged in every direction. As a result, Gnosticism, with its dynamic and reactive nature, continues to adapt itself to modernity, a quality that is sure to intrigue.
Gnosticism, with a materialist likeness, tries to appropriate gnostic ideas. Still, it does so through the intermingled language of science and science fiction – the kind of science fiction you find in unique stories and comics. They attempt to literalise and materialise ideas of Gnosticism where the material itself is a hoax. When describing the ‘eye’ symbology, which incidentally is a symbolic expression for three of the Egyptian gods Osiris, Horus, and Ra, the eye in the middle of the triangle is the eye of the creator of this world, which is Yahweh archetypally a mirror, to Ra.
A materialist-gnostic would take God out of the equation and impose that an alien civilisation so advanced can manipulate the atom to the extent it can control it. By changing the structure and scale of atoms, they can mimic entire worlds and then collapse back onto themselves. Although it seems like magic, the aliens use the language of science and physics to achieve this. This idea is explored in the three-body problem, where advanced beings can control atoms using something called Sophons, which can be artificially controlled on a quantum level. The author’s point is that consciousness is separate from matter, and thermal dynamics and technology can control matter instead of a spiritual overlord. Sophons gradually become an “eye,” symbolising the all-seeing God watching over us.
The gold symbol is part of Dee’s alchemical Hieroglyphic Monad symbol. On one level, the hieroglyph (see below) is the symbol of mercury, and on the sign of Aries, It contains the symbol of gold, the circle, joined to a symbol of silver, the crescent. Both rest on a rectilinear cross representing the ‘ternary’ and the ‘quaternary.’ The ‘magical ternary’ of our earliest ‘forefathers and wise men consisted of the body, ‘spirit and soul’ while the quarternary represents the four elementary compounds of heat, cold, moisture and dryness (fire, earth, water and air). The Cross, according to Dee, is the Octonary.
The complex symbol of the monad has extraordinarily rich alchemical associations. The hieroglyph embodies the whole alchemical process, with the sign of Aries representing fire, the sign of mercury, the alembic, and the point within the circle, gold. Interlaced with the crescent moon, they represent the chemical wedding of Sol and Luna, which gives birth to the Philosopher’s Stone. As much as the Herioglyph is a symbol that encompasses the whole cosmos, if it’s also engraved in the mind, it leads to an experience of gnosis.
As we know, Horus’s eye is referenced to the Sun and Morning Star, and the Sun in Alchemy symbolically represents Gold and Sol. The gold symbol is a circle with a dot in the middle of the circle. It also looks like a circumpoint. In the mysteries, the Isis/Demeter, Cybele, Osiris/Dionysus, and Horus/Mithras were interested in psychedelic drugs and going into the entheogen dimension. The Road to Eleusis argues that the mysteries of Isis/Demeter were probably based on psychedelic compounds derived from ergot, a parasitic fungus that grows on cereal grains. The third eye vision manifests during a trance state.

There is a case to be made that people may get Gnosticism wrong – the gnostic texts were found during an interesting geopolitical time and only hit the mainstream at the same time the C.I.A and Rockefeller were at their high point concerning their defunct new age enterprise (examined in psychedelics). And with the Gnostics, we have a perennial obsession- an uncontrollable obsession with our origins and our interstellar home – and very few things describe the quest of our shadowy Atlantis elite as much as the alien bloodline quest.
Gnostics’ obsession with our origins is fundamental; the search for the Alien God is what defines them, but Alien God alludes to the Astro part of Gnosticism, which is akin to hyperreal cosmology (astro-Gnosticism) – which deludes that fundamental idea because they swapped heavenly dimensions with hyperrealism planets it’s a movement from earth to another earth-like planet; you typically haven’t gone anywhere. We know there is a difference between atheist/science ascents for transformation to be god-like versus the search for gnosis. It is fundamental that they feel the world is alien to them – the experience of the world as an alien place into which man has strayed and from which he must find a way back home to the other world/dimension (alluding to Pleroma) of his origin.
“Who has cast me into the suffering of this world?” asks the “Great Life” of the gnostic texts, which is also the “first, alien Life from the worlds of light. Therefore, the question, “Who conveyed me into the evil darkness?” and the entreaty, “Deliver us from the darkness of this world into which we are flung.” The world is no longer the well-orderedcosmos in which Hellenic man felt at home, nor is it the Judaeo-Christian world that God created and found good. Gnostic man no longer wishes to perceive in admiration the intrinsic order of the cosmos.” Eric Vogelin’s |
.
Gnosticism’s meta-physics imparts faith in an “alien” or “hidden” God who comes to man’s aid, sends him his messengers, and shows him the way out of the prison of the evil God of this world. Eric Vogelin alludes to having faith in some other hidden god, not the one that sent the protagonist to evil darkness, but the one that delivered him. One might assume Yahweh or another mirror creator god, but that’s not true. Vogelin implies that this hidden God is Yahweh (also to separate Yahweh and the Demiurge), and as such, he got the attention of right-wing Christians. This implication gave them an excuse to misrepresent Gnosticism erroneously.
This kind of error is not typical of the Christian religion but is also found in an atheist/science model. Three body problem writers declare Science is superior to mysticism, where a scene that purposes math is superior to the I-ching, which is divination. In the first post, we determined that there is no such thing as space-time in the hyperreal sense, but there is a notion of time-fate. Math has many inconsistencies if its proposition is wrong, as examined in Terrence Howard’s proof that 1×1=2. Or, in the TV show Sheldon, realising Zero doesn’t exist, which questions the credibility of physics and maths. The I-ching, however, imparts the physical phenomenon in form and from its interaction against this physical phenomenon to the pressures and fluctuations of change (vis a vee wind, landmark topographies, etc.) over time. Everything arises in the context of time. You can then make closer predictions in [correct] mathematical language than one that is hyperreal.
The new-atheist movement was a tool to suppress a movement of awakening (a tangent ideal of Gnosticism, a sort of hyper-Gnosticism) that began post-9/11. Heavily varies streams of thought coming from various Christian movements – from truthers that emerge in radio talk circles of Alex Jones to conspiracy theories of David Icke. The new atheist movements were a resistance against irrationality seeping into the managerial class. From the academic scene to upper-middle-class positions in the NGO institutes, they carefully executed shame on the opposing class. It was Puritan shaming and part of its subset formed into woke-ism. On the other hand, its opposition was these truther movements, Christian millennialism, conspiracy-theorists, flat-earthers, etc. – who had the fundamental qualities of a gnostic worldview but were not exact in its execution because they were resistant to classical Gnosticism. This is a confusing paradox: believing in God while accepting a scientific cosmology that was brought about through sorcery that, over time, strips away the god-head.
The same kind of interplexing paradox in Christians criticizing perennial philosophy, notably how it imports pagan meta-physics – to postmodernism is an offset of neo-Marxist ideology (which is false). And any critics against that are merely showcasing the behaviour of Narcissism of small differences. Now it seems the Daily Wire club of right-leaning conservatives claim Gnosticism is Marxist also (Picard slaps hand to his forward moment). They’re drawing from Vogelin, who folded everything into Gnosticism which included totalitarianism movements, communism and Nazism; it’s completely biased and often has a wrong outlook. He was not familiar with the Nag Hammadi texts alongside Hermeticism. Gnosticism was never utopian, if anything else the opposite of that, nor is it political. Jordan Peterson’s Critique of postmodernism is wrong (explained in Post 39). The Marxists have the demented utopianists ideologue, not the Gnostics.
James Lindsey, known for his trickster grievance studies 101, claims that Marxists inverted Hegelianism (by making this inversion claim is an inversion claim on to itself) to support a gnostic ideal (that Gnosticism is Marxism) is an erroneous psychologism of the highest abstract. In the 19th century, thinkers were downstream from Hegel; in actuality, Gnosticism informed Hegelian thinking. There is no secret clandestine intellectual society lineage moving from the Gnostics to Hegel and down to Marx’s. It’s unfounded and fictional. Gnosticism has strong existential vibes so that it can overlap with existential thinkers. It doesn’t make them gnostic; it’s more nuanced than that. People must get rid of claims of resentment seeping from postmodernism and Gnosticism. The lineage of gnostic cults in history were not warmongers like right-wing Christianity. They were cheerful and overall good.
They have a limited contextual base regarding a better synthesis of understanding because they have an agenda; they are obfuscating postmodernity and Gnosticism while shadow-projecting their demonic thought forms. It parallels a tangent neo-Gnostic framework where they feel archons are jealous of our creative capacities. They are jealous of our life functions, and they seek to trap and control us. They have an image or label of postmodernism and Gnosticism but not referent or reference; they have incorrect orders of abstraction or want to add false-to-fact abstractions. If they can grasp quality and experience with self, thereby gaining consciousness and memory, they would realise it’s not in Gnosticism but in reality. They would also realise the Archons of our time are inverting everything.
In specific belief systems, attaining spiritual enlightenment or Christ-consciousness through divine knowledge is believed to be a privilege exclusively reserved for Christ. Christians who aspire to achieve this profound spiritual connection are forbidden from doing so and can only approach it through their faith in Christ. This gives rise to a communication style that is strict and inflexible, where those who strive to experience the divine are unable to, while those who can only imagine it are barred from accessing it. This frustration has become apparent to the far-right religion that needs to blame those who can access such transformative experiences into postmodernity and Gnosticism. This frustration must be channelled somewhere, so it was repackaged with practical means and instrumental reasoning, adding a layer of intrigue to the study or debate, inverted or otherwise, on religiosity.

Central to our discussion is the gatekeeping effect of setting criteria. This effect becomes particularly concerning when we consider the conservative right, which has its roots in a protestant alchemical movement. Once characterised by protest fervour, this movement takes on a reactionary character. Bruno, a cult martyr and sorcerer, was instrumental in this narrative. He propagated a dying or false cosmology, envisioning a romantic ideal where the soul is freed from a central confinement to an infinite one. However, this vision can be seen as either complacent or inadvertently supporting an inverted master plan that is Archonic, parallel to its Church adversaries.

Occultism and the Living World (01)
The Awakening:
.
.
Man’s Divinity & Destiny: In the previous post, we discussed how McKenna’s view of spiritual practices is biased compared to a psychedelic approach. According to him, spiritual practices serve as a crucial aspect in enhancing psychedelic development. However, without the aid of these substances, it takes a lot of patience, which does not have. He feels obligated to know the facts about these substances and their effects and share them with others due to his indebtedness to his approach.
I have a theory that could provide an explanation for this dispute. What if McKenna, who had never experienced a spiritual awakening before, suddenly had one – a sudden explosion of the crown chakra that was meant to be experienced in a sober state rather than a psychedelic one. While inside his entheogen matrix, McKenna also experienced a sensory overload. This reaction could have resulted in a mycelial abnormality or anomaly, leading to tumour growth in his brain and ultimately causing his death. Alternatively, he may have become disillusioned by the entities he encountered, which could have corrupted his reasoning.
He believed decades of practising consciousness movements to reach the entheogen dimension were more accurate than our everyday reality. According to Raschke’s theory, these entities aim to elevate us to that realm. The question arises as to whether McKenna became disillusioned by his fascination with these entities. However, he did mention that these entities are harmless and positive, and DMT does not have any physical impact on the body except affecting the visual cortex. As per his experience, contact with these entities is distinct from other spirits in the spirit world. He also states that DMT does not affect the mind; there won’t be any sudden delusions, and the mind and body remain unchanged. What happens is that the world has been replaced.
It is possible that on an individual’s level spiritual awakening can affect their experiences and insights. Conversely, those who exhibit negative behaviours such as egoism, narcissism, and demonic thought patterns may attract negative spirits. Additionally, it is possible that the use of psychedelic substances could lead to encountering one’s higher self, resulting in a battle to achieve self-actualization.
He may have a narrow focus when it comes to approaching psychedelics. Still, he approaches the use of these substances scientifically to bring back personal experiences that can either confirm his belief in the power of magic to heal the world or strengthen his sceptics for the warning against it. Christians are hesitant about these practices because they believe they can open a doorway for negative entities to take over. He once warned against mixing DMT and mushrooms.
The way these Amazon tribes use ayahuasca is they steam a standard brew, and if they have a plant that they think has medical usage, they take a portion of that plant and throw it in the mix. I took half a dose of ayahuasca and half a dose of mushrooms, and it wasn’t perfect. It was different from any bad trip I ever had. It wasn’t about my personality it seemed to be about core processes. My memory was being eaten away, like a Pac-man chewing away at its dots. I could almost see the molecular machinery jammed; it was somehow caught in a loop, and I sweated bullets for an hour and a half. Then, it finally released me, and it let me go. But as I sat in that chair, I thought, if I can’t pull out this place – then there is a room in the back ward somewhere, and they sit me there and look every so often, and that’ll be the end of my story. – McKenna |
.
There is an interesting parallel between those who advocate for a matrix-simulated world garnered in the understanding to transfer human consciousness into machines and be immortal. And those who are addicted to video gaming in their autistic spectrum are stuck in virtual reality worlds. Additionally, some proponents of psychedelic experiences may confuse this virtual world for reality, raising the question of whether McKenna, who worked for the CIA, was advocating for a humanist agenda or became confused himself. Despite the psychedelic movement’s positive impact on applied pharmacological evidence, mythology and its abstracts, cosmological concepts, and reproducible experiments, there is still a sense of God’s grace or filtering. There are mechanisms of worthiness, levels of insight, gnosis, awakening, enlightenment, demons, and angels. In a dogmatic sense, some individuals may be chosen, and not all can be saved – a topic that delves deeper into philosophical thought.
In the matrix, Neo said:” If you die in the matrix, do you die in the real world?” The take away here is that you die either way – meaning you can’t disconnect your consciousness from your body either in a fictional artificial AI model or an entheogen one. You must separate McKenna’s scientific rhetoric from his narrative, like flights of fancy, because he blends them. Interpolated within a climate of ß end times urgency (or eschatology) is examined in his dimensional perplexity. This means his dimensional insights are ancillary to technological progress, whether it’s factual or fictional; he states:
Nano tech is that a possibility can we download/upload everybody into a super cooled cube made of gold alloy buried 500 feet deep in the centre of Copernicus. Will go there and leave the earth and dance forever in the hallways of the imagination. The way to think of these psychedelics is that they amplify the morphogenic field. It’s not that I follow current events, it’s not because the mushrooms knows things. It’s because it’s all around us, in the air, it’s like all the FM, and short wave, long wave, uhf, and vhf – all these information around us become transparent, and you actually feel the planetary body heaving. The world becomes a Gibson like cyberspace. – McKenna |
.
McKenna’s fascination with the ideology of transhumanism, a Julian Huxley idea and term that seeks to augment the human condition beyond our expectations, is intriguingly juxtaposed with his humanist agenda. This dichotomy is further emphasised by the fact that the same idea that captivated him, Aldous Huxley (brother to Julian), repelled it. In the intellectual battleground of the 19th century, McKenna points out those thinkers of evolution, such as Darwin, Thomas Henry Huxley, and Charles Lyell, were waging a fierce war against Christianity. They were the great warriors of atheism and promoted the denial of purpose. This led to a lot of energy in the scientific community focused on eliminating purpose and promoting random mutation colliding with selective purpose in the environment. This process may work well for the nature of species, but it does not explain the emergence of great forces, pull-forward change, or the phenomena of metamorphosis. Wallace suggested that there must be a Telos by looking at the same evidence. McKenna calls this force that pushes forward change an “attractor”.
His psychedelic experience has led him to have a biased preference for transhumanist goals, which is similar to the effect of an attractor. This is evident because computing, particularly artificial intelligence, displays proto-adaptive behaviours, which can also create a similar kind of attractor.
Julian Huxley’s brother, Aldous Huxley, was a philosopher who believed in perennialism, a post-modernist way of thinking. These days, postmodernism is less popular among traditional Christians and those who study religion and Christian theology. This is because they tend to emphasise the differences among various traditions. Some Christians criticise perennials as an import of pagan metaphysics into the biblical tradition. However, others–like the Anglican theologian Owen Thomas–argue that Christianity is a synthesis of “biblical religion” and a Neo-Platonist-influenced version of the perennial philosophy.
A perspective on postmodernism and perennialism suggests postmodernism emerged as a way to promote politically correct ideas after humanism. However, this is not an accurate representation of the situation. The rise of postmodernism can be attributed to atheism, rationalism, and a calculated takeover by cult groups who act as gatekeepers through post-leftist ideology. Perennial philosophy allows for psychedelic understanding without the need for psychedelic drugs because Terence McKenna has already taken it to its endpoint. Huxley characterises perennial philosophy as a “working hypothesis” about the nature of reality that goes beyond “humanism and nature-worship” and is wary of the overdeveloped dogmas of organised religion. This working hypothesis can, Huxley thinks, provide the basis for experiential “research” into spiritual reality.
You can identify when researchers attack perennialism as soon as they emphasize pagan metaphysics into this narrow field of “warning” – in a Pharmakeia sense. A perplexing contention arises in that these entities are generalised to one culprit (with speculations), and we know there are many spirits in the spirit world. And alongside theology in which good angels came down to conquer these watcher angels – that interfere with man’s cosmic destiny impart Raschke’s argument that we are being elevated to these realms. A counter-argument is that instead of trying to raise us up/down to their dimensions, they always try to come into our physical reality by any means necessary. Furthermore, it indicates a theory that there’ve always been drug cults that go back to the Eleusinian/Mithraism mysteries. History is indicative of outlining humanity’s past itinerary where entities have influenced man’s faculty captured in pagan rituals and sacrifices, examined in the Aztec’s need to sacrifice to please the (entity-like) gods. The ruling class now codifies it in watcher cults (or entity worship). It has a bureaucratic influence on government agencies acting as a national security apparatus with projects that seem to have other unseemly (secret) motivations, not one favouring the people.
The contention is not about a debate about angels or entities influencing humans; we already know they do. It’s how reason is used as a weakness. This is the argument of fear in which reason is withdrawn from the context of other qualities. From here, it raises the disagreement between human nature and reason. If we try to investigate the truth with other qualities that pertain to a better (positive) understanding of psychedelics and their effects, like psychedelic-assisted therapy and other medical opportunities that it can be harnessed for – to open windows to dreaming dimensions while being fully aware it. When do we have a clearer understanding? When we ignore it, we choose to close that window. How indicative is it, then adhering to the Biblical warning of Pharmakeia tunnelled through the misunderstanding that the older the text, the truer it is (or rather, it’s not true; the older the text, the truer it is)? Or rather, there is a warning for their time, and there is a warning our time is both mutually exclusive and entirely different. However, it’s really about using that notion and engaging (or transforming) it through modern reason; it’s like needing an alibi for having a right-centric viewpoint regarding religion and politics. In this argument, gnosis, spirituality, enlightenment, awakenings, etc., is irrational because normal thinking is enough.
The motivation or need to outline these pagan metaphysics to a fixed set of ideas (paganism is evil; right-centric Christianity is good) is a fundamentalist approach with prideful intentions – in so much as Plato had already normalised this weakness in reason. “When [the soul] tries to investigate anything with the help of the body, it is led astray.” When does “the soul get a clear view of fact”? [W]hen it ignores the body.” – Plato … Here you can see Plato’s adage is also a misunderstanding of Socrates’s death. Socrates was made to face trumped-up charges invented by his ignorant and prejudiced fellow citizens. He was found guilty of “impiety” and “corrupting the young”, sentenced to death and then required to carry out his execution by consuming a deadly potion of the poisonous plant hemlock.
Looking at the history through general semantics, specifically the history of witchcraft, we may think the intention is noble. However, it may be rooted in pride, a form of fear. Conspiracy theories or conspiracies impart the same hidden fear of terror but are made for all to see by the hero truther-theorists. While propaganda has led many to believe in a neo-pagan version of the loving nature of witches, in reality, witchcraft has a dark side that many refuse to acknowledge. The witch trials had valid reasons for arresting people, and the standard of proof was high. Despite the negative portrayal of witch trials in literature, they were fairer than others. The witches used sacrifice rituals, and drugs played a part in their rituals. However, Cochrane’s defence article entitled “Genuine Witchcraft is Defended” in 1963 argues otherwise.
I am a witch descended from a family of witches. Genuine witchcraft is not paganism, though it retains the memory of ancient faiths. It is a religion that is mystical in approach and puritanical in attitude. It is the last real mystery cult to survive, with a very complex and evolved philosophy with strong affinities and many Christian beliefs. The concept of a sacrificial god was not new to the ancient world; it is not new to a witch. Mysticism knows no boundaries. The genuine witch is a mystic at heart. Much of the teaching of witchcraft is subtle and bound with poetical concepts rather than hard logic. I come from an old witch family. My mother told me of things that had been told to her grandmother by her grandmother. I have two ancestors who died by hanging for the 66 Clan of Tubal Cain practice of witchcraft. The desire for power may have been the motive behind the persecution of witches . . . [Cochrane explains that during the Crusades in the 13th and 14th centuries, Islamic ideas infiltrated witch covens, and witches were members of the upper and lower classes.] One basic tenet of witch psychological grey magic is that your opponent should never be allowed to confirm an opinion about you but should always remain undecided. This gives you a greater power over him because the undecided is always the weaker. From this attitude, much confusion has probably sprung from the long path of history. [Cochrane then explains that witches are not part of a premature Spiritualist movement and are not concerned primarily with messages or morality from the dead.] . . . It [witchcraft] is concerned with the actions of God and gods upon man and man’s spiritual position. – Rosemary Ellen Guiley: The Encyclopaedia of Witches, Witchcraft & Wicca. |
.
The contrast between ancient witchcraft and a more benevolent version (of witchcraft) doesn’t mean the former is more truthful or realistic. Instead, it is used to muddle the truth. When examined through logic and simplicity, rationality is more similar to our lived experience than McKenna’s dimensional reality. Stepping outside this reality can lead to a fear of complexity and reality itself. For example, in modern-day Africa, children born with the label of “witch-children” are isolated and abandoned on the streets, left to starve and suffer from malnutrition. While some orphanages try to help these children, not all are saved. This is a clear example of reason being sacrificed for superstition. Not only are these children innocent, but this is also parallel to infanticide during the witch trials. Dogmatic ideas should be flexible enough to adapt to current situations. This is where a more benevolent form of witchcraft might have saved the children from superstition. Superstition comes after the dogmatic warning aspect.
The City of Light: McKenna had hoped to create a new language of Alchemy that could be utilized for the betterment of the world. This hope was realized with the emergence of Artificial Intelligence. Unfortunately, McKenna passed away before he could witness the birth of this awakened silica (A.I.). While he had only foreseen this technology like a prophet, the reality is that it is inaccessible to those who could reshape and use it (beyond marketing and advertising) as a tool for world redemption through magic. This is because the ruling class (corporations) own this technology and have no intention of using it for the greater good.
Their utopian goal of enlightenment was never intended to be shared with the peasants of the time. Instead, it was about the divinity of Man and the possibility of using magic to evade the predetermined fate of the cosmos. This perception of Man, his divinity, and his destiny had a double-edged effect. On the one hand, it gave a new urgency to find life’s meaning and strive for a humanist goal. On the other hand, it was a hubristic endeavour of the ego. This perception, characterized by Ficino’s statement that “man is the measure of all things” and that it is up to man to decide the course of the cosmos, led to the birth of science.
Interestingly, magic and science are two sides of the same coin, stemming from the same dual perceptions. On one aspect, there was a strong focus on man’s divinity and magic, which the Church sought to suppress because it challenged the Church’s authority by placing importance on humanity. Between the 1500s and the start of the 30-year wars, there was a widespread push for a magical revolution in various parts of Europe, in contrast to the millennia of scholastic rationalism that had previously dominated. Witchcraft and other magical practices only began to gain prominence in the 15th century, leading to social hysteria and fear of witchcraft, alchemy, conjuring, and magic.
As time progressed, physicists, with their ever-expanding knowledge, were able to split the atom. However, in a moment of sobering realisation, Oppenheimer understood that they had done so without the proper reverence for the heart of ‘matter’. Their greatest achievement was the ability to create a powerful light that burned at the centre of stars, a power that was harnessed not only for the betterment of humanity but also for the creation of devastating weapons, tested in deserts and used against enemies. This, without a doubt, is a cosmic sin, an abomination that cannot be seen as magic with applied results because we have separated this double perception so far. Nowadays, magic is viewed as nothing more than the late works of Picatrix, which consist of spells, circles, chants, and rituals or filtered down into fictional fantasy. Although it was a concern in the past, in the modern world, superstition has nullified it. It is also evident that the traditional Christian right turned a blind eye to this sin for a propagandised greater good, even when the war was essentially over. This is not surprising since Christianity had become a big brother to science as a by-product of divorce several centuries before Christianity’s thinking split from Alchemical thinking.
In a second aspect, Humanity (Man) believes it can change its fate. Atomic physics is based on the assumption that we can escape the fate that was recognised in the Hellenistic period. During that time, people with a gnostic mindset towards astrology and stars believed these external forces could shape their fate. The gnostic concern was to avoid this cosmic destiny; the only way to do that was to ascend through the layers of cosmic ordering forces. These layers included archons, planets, planetary demons, and beyond the Heimarmene, a space in which one can burst through to transcend fate. This idea is illustrated in the metaphor of black holes.
The text discusses the possibility of calling down the sun’s power to Earth through atomic energy, which may be a predestined fate that parallels the not-so-successful space programs, rocket science, astronauts, and travel. This fate could be personified in the hermetic thought of Decons, 36 cosmic spirits. The Decons’ role is to control and manipulate fate (time), and they were summoned by the renascence Magi to do so. The Decons, zodiac signs, and associative schemata included plants, minerals, odours, flowers, animals, etc. Invocations, along with certain music or tonal modes together, all conjure the microcosm of the macrocosm and draw down the stellar energy. Later, a less refined style of magic emerged in the form of Picatrix – imageries similar to pop culture’s take on this craft. With Picatrix, it became possible to call archangels to your side and work with them on the idea that man’s fate is not bequeathed to the inevitable cosmic working machine, which runs counter to the New Testament. However, the New Testament has a similar message: you can be saved in the body and escape the inevitable disillusionment and degradation laid upon us by time.
In our previous discussion, we discussed how time is often associated with the idea of fate, creating the concept of time-fate instead of space-time. Before the pursuit of enlightenment and the literal search for the proverbial light, there was a belief in Hermeticism that utopia could be achieved and that a perfect society was possible. Bruno referred to the Picatrix, a collection of magical books from the 12th century, mentioned by Yates, which inspired the birth of Rosicrucianism and other ideological movements. The Picatrix cites Hermes Trismegistus as the originator of some Talismanic images and other connections. However, a particularly striking passage in the fourth book of Picatrix states that Hermes was the first to use magical images and was responsible for founding a marvellous city in Egypt.
There are among the Chaldeans very perfect masters of this art, and they affirm that Hermes was the first to construct images by knowing how to regulate the Nile against the moon’s motion. This man also built a Temple to the Sun, and he knew how to hide himself from all so that no one could see him, although he was within it. It was he, Hermes Trismegistus, who, in the east of Egypt, constructed a city twelve miles long. Within it, he constructed a castle with four gates within each of the four parts. On the eastern gate, he placed the form of an eagle. On the western gate, the form of a Bull. On the southern gate was the form of a Lion; on the northern gate, he constructed the form of a Dog. Into these images, he introduced spirits that spoke with voices, nor can anyone enter the gates of the city except by their permission. There, he planted Trees in the midst of a grape tree, which bore the fruit of all generations. On the summit of the castle, he caused to be raised a tower thirty cubits high, on top of which he ordered to be placed a lighthouse – the colour of which turned every day – until the seventh day, after which it turned the first colour. So, the city was illuminated by these colours. Near the town, water was abundant, and many kinds of fish dwelt. Around the circumference of the city, he placed engraved images and ordered them in such a manner that by their virtue, the inhabitants were made virtuous and withdrawn from all wickedness and harm. |
.
In this text, we encounter an idea of a perfect society, which is achieved through magic. The society’s inhabitants are believed to be virtuous due to the power of engraved images that their leader ordered. This meant that society was protected from negative cosmic influences. Other historical figures, such as John Dee and Frederick V, Elector Palatine King of Bohemia, shared this idea and aimed to create an ideal, alchemical kingdom. The four cities in this utopian society are perfectly harmonious, with fully realised inhabitants who practice a cosmic religion that frees them from the negative impacts of cosmic fate.
The Original Artist Prophet John Dee; His Prophecies & its Consequences: John Dee united the complete spirit of the medieval magus and the whole spirit of the modern scientist. John Dee came across an Aztec artefact, a “Shew Stone”, also called “Aztec Mirror” – this artefact was like a television screen into the logos [scrying]. He used it to direct England’s foreign policy as he was a confidant of Queen Elizabeth the First. Dee was an accomplished astrologer and mathematician. He was functioning like an intelligence agent, a spy for the British crown, inserting himself among courtly scenes and writing back to Elisabeth in cyphers.
In 1582, John Dee, his wife Ann, and Edward Kelly, a man who gained confidence in Dee through his scrying, set out for Bohemia to meet Rudolf, the mad king of Bohemia. Kelly sent word that he and Dee had perfected the alchemical process. Rudolf then paid for their journey to Prague and treated them well until Rudolf suddenly stopped paying for their expenses, which left them stranded. Dee was still in touch with Elisabeth, and her court gave him money, which he used to talk his way out of this alchemical imprisonment. However, only after Dee wrote the book Hieroglyphic Monad while imprisoned in Bohemia can we assume that Dee wrote the book with the help of the spirits through his scrying. In the book, he proposed to prove through occult theorems that a specific diagram (the symbol of mercury) can be used to raise people to certain levels of spirit.
Fascinated by the Hieroglyphic Monad, Dee initiated two young men, Andrea and Myers, into its mysteries. After Dee left Bohemia and returned to England, Kelly remained serviced to Rudolf. Unfortunately, Kelly died in an accident while attempting to escape. On the other hand, Dee returned to England, where he lived until his old age and died in Malt Lake in 1606, two years after Queen Elizabeth died in 1604. The presence of many notable people, including Shakespeare and Sir Philip Sydney, marked the period. Dee was also known for his vast collection of books, which included manuscripts of Roger Bacon that were assumed to have been lost.
During the early 17th century, a document called the “Pharma” was circulated, followed by the announcement of recruitment by the Alchemical Brotherhood in “Confessio” two years later. These documents were the foundation of Rosicrucianism, based on fiction and a made-up person named Christian Rosenkreuz. It was claimed that Rosenkreuz was a great alchemist who lived almost 200 years earlier in the 1540s and that his tomb was found to contain books that sparked the alchemical revolution of the world. He was also said to have authored “The Alchemical Wedding”.
Such fantastical assertion was said to be purposeful, and instigation was gestated from Bohemia, where Dee’s students Andrea and Maier set out a plot to lay out the groundwork for an alchemical revolution in central Europe. It was a plot to medal with European history and to turn the protestant reformation toward an alchemical completion. They felt that Luther and Hus had only gone so far, and the culmination of throwing out the yoke of the Church would be establishing an alchemical kingdom in central Europe. They would become the centre of a movement – an alchemical reformation and revolution that sought to take the protestant reformation into the future, an enormous leap towards a new world to an enlightenment future.
Maier and Andrea and their cult followers gained notoriety and caught the attention of a young man who became an ally to them. This individual was the soon-to-be King Frederick, the Elector Palatine, a prince of the Northern League in Germany who ruled Heidelberg. Heidelberg was a hub for occultism in Europe, attracting all kinds of thinkers of the occult, including alchemists. Andrea and Maier counselled the young Frederick, guiding him through a series of political manoeuvres, including his marriage to Elisabeth, the daughter of James the First of England.
In the early 17th century, Frederick, a Protestant king, hoped to gain support for his alchemical plans by marrying the daughter of King James. However, James also arranged for his son to marry a Spanish Catholic princess from the Habsburg family. Although Frederick believed James supported his alchemical revolution, James was playing both sides. In 1617, Emperor Rudolf of Bohemia died, and the Protestant league elected Frederick as emperor, defying the traditional selection method. Frederick and his wife, now the queen, moved their court from Heidelberg to Prague, and the alchemist community followed. From the winter of 1618, they ruled from Prague and wanted to transform northern Europe into an alchemical kingdom.
In May of 1619, the Bishop of the Catholic Church learned that King James did not support the Protestants even though his daughter’s fate was at stake. As a result, the Bishop sent word to Madrid, and they raised a Habsburg army to lay siege to Prague. By summer, the King and Queen of Prague were forced to flee, and the Catholic forces took the city. The alchemical presses were destroyed, and Michael Maier, who was considered the prime minister, was killed in an alley. The entire alchemical dream died with the fall of Prague. Frederick, the leader of the Protestants, was also killed during the siege. Elisabeth escaped to the Netherlands and lived in exile for many years. The collapse of the alchemical dream played a role in sparking the 30 years of war.
In that Habsburg army, there was a young soldier of fortune. His name was Rene Descartes. Despite being only nineteen years old and lacking military knowledge, he participated in the battles. In his later years, Descartes remembered his time as a soldier with nostalgia. Once, Terence McKenna proposed writing a novel about Descartes and Maier, who would meet in a burning Prague alley way, debate the future of Europe, and fight with swords to which Maier will fall victim to Descartes sword.

Fictional fantasies aside, on the night of September 16th, Descartes had a dream in which an angel appeared and told Descartes that the conquest of nature was to be achieved through measure and number. This revelation would be the seed for modern science, the scientific method, and the distinction between the res cogitans and res extensa. The question becomes when juxtaposed with modernity where science has reached its limit and scientism has taken over – the plight for an alchemical dream was reaffirmed through the revelation of an Angel that transposes a science world – somewhere in that journey, we went in the wrong direction vis a vee heliocentric cosmology. Maybe in a conspiratorial sense, it was a demon rather than an angel that spoke to the ear of Descartes to halter a progressive alchemical world. If it were an angel, it would’ve known science would reach an endpoint in the assurance that a factual cosmology is false and just another semantic concept of a mythological cosmology. In either form, it mimics the cutting of enzymes in the body that we call junk DNA, as we are not ready for enlightenment.
In this alignment of fiction, Maier and Descartes confront each other. Descartes would finish what Maier had started by becoming the founder of modern science. However, this science is a diluted aspect of the alchemical dream. That science would lead back into itself a full circle in the collapse of the West and science and back to mythology and meaning. No matter how rational we assume ourselves to be, and however rational we assume modern science to be, it is founded on Angelic revelation, demonic intersession, and an extremely mysterious relationship between the human mind and what science calls inert matter. It is known that matter is not inert but alive and pregnant, with a purpose for mankind.
