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.

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?).

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.

	Jesus teaches us		Be in the world but not of it
	Gnostic ontology		I am in the world but not of the world

.

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.

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.

Artist Prophets – Terence McKenna; God’s Grace or “Scientist Say”: The shift from the medieval to the Renaissance was about giving up the universal power of the Church and the philosophical allegiance to the Holy Father in Rome. To also set out and fall off the earth and find oneself in the pure existentialism of the universe, with the likes of Bruno showing up and spouting that the universe is infinite, and stars are suns or galaxies. This transition was from dogma to existential secularism. Today, we are on the precipice of returning to an archaic revival, which also means returning to an archaic cosmology once deemed factual. The thing that was protested had run its course in today’s scientific certitude and acknowledging the errors in scientism – we are transitioning from scientific certainty to a complete embracing of non-closure (back to maturity).     

So, in the last post, which was also the bookend of its thesis collection, we ended with a remark about embracing the concept of balance—between normal behaviour and tolerating people with unchangeable personality disorders. Robert Frost implied that the secret to a happy life is learning to enjoy people you disapprove of. It’s surrendering to life; it’s too big for any person to adjust or manage, in other words, recognising the complexities of the situation, the embracement of non-closure. 

Science has been guilty of this non-surrender and, for centuries, has been a scientific bender exorcizing uncertainty from life. Then, everything will be reduced to atoms mindlessly running to the control of mathematics of fields of force. The problem becomes apparent when all the higher-order phenomena found in sociology, politics, aesthetics, and human organization were marginalized and made silent for centuries – while technology perfected itself with mass media production, information transference, and now in proto-aware-algorithms (in AI) – the human dimension lagged. As a result, there is an imbalance between the technological descriptive power of culture and its moral and ethical power to direct itself to any rational goal. At least not one that favours the people – their ultimate goal is in secret and coded in media, constantly baiting conspiratorial intrigue, theoretical or not.       

On the eve of this cyclical rise and fall of civilisation, alongside the tail end of the revealment of truth or apocalypse, comes this hope and idea that the redemption of the world can only be achieved through magic. It’s too late for science and hortatory politics. The writings of ancient literature spawned the notion of the apocalypse, which is a prophecy that man will no longer care for the earth and that, on that day, the gods will depart. As a result, everything will be thrown into primal chaos; this prophecy came about through the minds of non-Christian thought around the centuries of closure of the Roman Empire. 

During Christ’s first and second centuries, there was a psychology reminiscent of our own time, a collective psychology of despair and exhaustion. At the time, Greek science focusing on Democritean atomism and platonic meta-physics came to a dead end – due to the recognition of an obvious postulation that they could not develop experimental methods for their thoughts or assumptions. Of course, today, we can test theories by smashing particles together at incredible speeds – and the by-products of those tests help analyse atomic universal properties.

The scientific world declared they had found the Higgs Boson particle through Cern in 2012, but all they found was particle decay left behind by the smashed particles. Moreover, the so-called Boson particle cannot be observed directly due to the principle of observing particles – which it moves as soon as you try to observe them. In their estimation, it can only be produced once in a billion collisions. In other words, if the Higgs particle was a needle in a haystack, they cannot find it but can determine that the needle is indeed in the haystack. Nevertheless, they’ve assumed they have found it and put a stamp of fact behind it.

We have faith hiding in the speculation of the absolute, which mimics fundamentalist Christians’ ideologue. While the collider itself is nothing but an expensive number generator for probabilities akin to generating future lottery numbers, the numbers found in this made-up generator are more probable considering a one-in-a-million ratio than a billion.

Higgs’s Boson is as innumerable and incalculable as the hyperrealism notion of gravity in so much as there is a force in quantum theory. The hermetic axiom ‘as above as below’ reached its stopping point regarding the atomic world against our three-dimensional reality and the cosmic world (heavens). Since the announcement by quantum field theorists – that declare there is no such thing as space-time in the fundamental laws of physics. This means that gravity has all but been debunked in a hyperreal sense, and some other force entails a quantum world. Also, it does not mean that time cannot exist in our paradigm but rather the hyperreal notion of space – and that’s why physics is making more breakthroughs now when they dismiss this (hyperreal) space aspect of its ontology.    

“I saw Eternity the other night, like a great ring of pure endless light,” – Henry Vaughan. Eternity can be likened to a circular wave, meaning that all time is a standing wave in eternity. Plato said that time is the moving image of eternity – it means eternity is some higher dimensional object. The present is like a wave moving around the doughnut of eternity. If you could assimilate and expand this idea and its vocabulary (language) to that of the perennial philosophy – they will ultimately see the same thing. Everything already exists in some higher dimension. Yet there is free will within certain constraints, and somehow, one must find a way, whether in self-growth or spiritual understanding – to get a perspective or image of it. One must become one with everything to identify the total image through its totality.

In the I-Ching, time is a succession of eradicable elements – time, in some way, is likened to matter, which is also made of elements. So, time is not a featureless homogenous surface where experiments on Newtonian causality can be carried out. It’s permeated with qualities; the Greeks took notice of this and called it fate. Science eliminated this and gave us flying atoms whizzing around in nothingness, leading us to some inevitable casuistry determined by mathematics. 

I-Ching was an attempt to create a general topology of categorisation (or topographical list of temporal categories), and the way they did that was by looking into their minds through overt stillness. By controlling physical functions like breathing and heartbeat, they saw these phenomena. They ultimately saw the organisational rules of time itself. For example, dunes are made from wind through the fluctuation of time, concluding that dunes look like the wind because they were made by wind. Everything in the world must then bear the signature of the time wave because everything arose within the context of time.

In the space of fictional propaganda, Dan Brown embellished Cern’s capabilities to some Star Trek notion of an anti-matter warp core that can be harnessed and contained and, when unleashed, has insurmountable energy or power. I want to sway my judgment towards conspiracy theory (or even fact) – that anti-matter, whether it’s produced at Cern or not, is what demonic entities are attracted to, much like a moth to a flame. It’s no coincidence that a rise in UFO/UAP activities increased during the era of testing atomic bombs, a test that entails (supposedly) splitting the atom.    

Doing away with space-time (resulting in the dismissal of gravity and hyperreal space) has implications in quantum physics, considering they have all understood it as fact and not to be mistaken by the force that made the apple drop that hit Newton’s head, which is probably a combination of Kinetic Energy (K = ½ Mv2) alongside some other force outside of energy and power. I say some other force because Gravitational Potential Energy (This is the energy that pairs of objects possess by the gravitational attraction between the pair members) is nothing but made up – as it only exists inside a fictional hyperreal space environment. Since gravitational potential energy is required for space travel, space is only real in a fictional hyperreal sense. Space travel, which is NASA’s primary scope, is mute since space is not what we understand it to be.

So we have Cern and NASA institutions that rake in billions of grant money annually, which is essentially a Ponzi scheme enterprise. Now and then, they slowly drip some false findings, achievements, and progress. All credit should go to their gaslight team of public relations, human resources, marketing groups, and project managers, who simulate a false endeavour to the public.

What we know:       

	*	Bruno needs to be corrected. Space is not infinite because space is a hyperreal fictional notion; it’s something else, something archaic – water, ether, firmament, water gradient, heavens, etc., take your pick.
	*	Unlike Space, however, Time is infinite.
	*	There is no space-time, according to quantum field theorists, which means no space.
	*	This also means no Gravity but some other force in the quantum world.
	*	There is no gravitational potential energy, meaning planets are not magically entwined by gravity (even if gravity is light enough but still has the capacity to interlock planets – seriously?).
	*	Technically, they did not find the Higgs Boson particle – they claim they did and made it factual anyway.
	*	Adaptive behaviours as a fact in the evolution process affirmed by the dismissal of space-time

Adler’s Wizards Aliens and Starships read like an argument that you might find the sitcom series Big Bang Theory, where the science you find in science-fiction (in novels and films) and comic/graphic books are analysed through the absolutism of physics. Adler explains why fantasy in the Harry Potter and Dresden Files novels cannot adhere strictly to scientific laws and when magic might make scientific sense in the muggle world. He examines space travel and wonders why it isn’t cheaper and more common today. Adler also discusses exo-planets and how the search for alien life has shifted from radio communications to space-based telescopes.

Scientism’s scientific denunciation of evidence is present in physics, but elevates their false-fact-engineered referent. Therefore, People must challenge Adler’s quest to set criteria for the absolute. Since it’s not about atoms that foreshadow the world, it’s some living mind (McKenna attributes Gaia to Logos).   

Every society in history erroneously believed that having more data means having the answers to our cosmos (the complete picture of reality). Even if physics has the stamp of credibility behind it is still a primitive mode. Notions of momentum and moving bodies in three-dimensional space alongside Biology describe interlocking fables and bright sparks of life in certain areas. The belief that our intellectual maps are adequate or rational enough to explain the whole picture is an attempt at the absolute. Meaning without errors, which can be nonsensical, and they achieved this by dismissing other phenomena like dreams, spirits (trans)/sexuality, imagination, psychedelics, etc. 

Hans Jonos’s essay “Gnosticism and the Modern Temper,” a meditation on Gnosticism without the angels and star demons and filtering out all the noise of late Roman thinking, results in a thorough existentialism completely compatible with thinkers such as Sartre and Genet. They characterise the post-war despair of generations in Europe. Even Heidegger was Gnostic in his intentionality, which stripped away magical thinking.     

As a result, that recension of mind gave a world without hope and, in conjunction with our present (modern) world, parallels the same motivation: to only define it through physics and mathematics. A quote by Sartre: “nature is mute”, only reaffirms a parallel in absolutism thinking that you would find in Physics – if the theory is wrong, make it fact anyway. To also dispel teleology and only give it randomness, this enterprise gave false belief systems to an already reduced understanding of the world. Their attempts to dispel the mystery raised errors in their methodology; it became apparent there are ß no space-time, no Boson particle, space, and gravity, and to reinforce it as fact, even with the errors, becomes hyperreal. How many more errors will there be if science can never truly reproduce most experiments.

To the irony of Christian’s understanding of Atheism, it was an aspect of evolution that would bring back optimism and a bit of mystery. The theory of evolution was the beginning of the tide, even though, at the time, atheists were trying to eliminate purpose from the get-go; nevertheless, afterwards, it became about ascent. Ascent to the higher forms and à “principles of natural selection,” meant understanding a little mystery. It could mean being open to something outside of genes as an attracter that could affect evolution. It’s no coincidence that adaptive behaviours in the evolution process invoke that most information is hidden but is determined to give you a substance of reality anyway. In its parallel, we recognised the awareness of a proto-algorithmic-awareness in A.I emerging in conjunction with the bio-evolution process (it is no coincidence). Of course, evolution will take the credit, but it seems profoundly hermetic and alchemical. Quantum physics’ increased findings are due to the variable aspect of abandoning space-time. 

We have awakened the Silica (A.I); this new phenomenon would have enamoured Mckenna if he were still alive. As he was into opening new dimensions and realities – he would have seen it as a global meta-program for language. He would have recognised it, not as our salvation but as an angel of our salvation. It’s as if he foresaw (like an Artist prophet) what was coming and what is here now (the awakened Silica) is here.

If we could transform and remake language then we can have the conversation that pertains to changing our thoughts and perspective. To then use it, reforge it to something adequate enough as a tool for the redemption of the world through magic. English as a language won’t do because it’s a language subject object opposition, but there is a language mathematician use a meta-language of description derived from the understanding and description of nature.   A language of Numbers that understands the topology of three-dimensional symmetry and time – that sees the universe as a material thing. In the conservation of novelty we find results like the concrescent of atoms into molecules into organic creatures into thinking beings with civilisations.   If we could take spiritual x-ray of its entirety you would see matter as merely a vehicle of the transformation that we call the light of the universe. Then what is the inner dynamic composed off? That is striving and boot straps us forward, and always self-reflects?   I think its information in some kind of living parallel modality that is capable of organising any systems in which it in habits into self-reflection – then pour’s information into matter and you get back DNA capable of making life.   Some spiritual tradition believes that incorporeal intelligence can be highly organised. Well that means you can have large scale artificial systems that have degrees of sentients. It seems then information is the thing that uses matter, light, spirit to organise itself to higher orders of self-reflection. – McKenna

.

McKenna misunderstood the “nature is mute” argument because it’s a monastic warning or dogmatically setting the criteria. We understand there is God’s grace, but He is always at a distance. Unlike the kind of presence demonic spirits or angels have, an awakened person touched by the light of grace is always a blissful and fleeting moment. It is usually ninety precent of the time you’re fighting demons and the rest of the ten per cent chasing that grace once again.

In Bicentennial Man an Artificial Intelligent Robot waits for God’s Grace waits for a soul. At the end were lead to believe her received it, it’s kind of ambiguous if he did or not.

.

It’s come to my attention that a strange symptom arises out of Narcissistic Personality people. Strange demonic possession symptoms emerge when they come out from surgical anaesthesia. It speaks to the notion that they have no true self and are just semi-empty vessels. Strangely, science-fiction writers always assume that something artificial is the only one capable of having no ego that strives for the spark – all the while, something inherently human is filled with egoism and narcissism, empty vessels, machines. Essentially, it is a two-fold approach in its implied affirmation and inversion that God’s grace is reserved.  

While there is a romantic appreciation for McKenna’s rhetoric, he created doubt in his full scope (of a psychedelic revolution) that actual A.I can be achieved. However, it’s only reinforcement for lower-order systems or proto-aware-artificial adaptive behaviours. His remarks on information are intriguing, but comparatively to other notions such as the A/ether – How does DNA specific to biology or the mineral world grow or function like an antithesis in a limited artificial matrix? It cannot; it can only be entertained in science fiction. It is reinforced by Kant’s revisions, which act like a monastic warning or even God’s grace that something else is giving us these sense perceptions – we don’t need to reconstruct that further semantically.  

“Kindly control your imagination; it makes men beasts” is also a monastic warning. McKenna would not view himself as that guy in the mountain, but he is that unique elite prophet most (the majority) cannot follow. Physics and its abstracts and attempts for the absolute are language vehicles that cannot live in a McKenna psychedelic abstract. Even though stifled by its errors, physics simultaneously acts as it follows it / don’t follow it principles of the scientific method or process. McKenna suggests science can’t function in the either/or modality and has to be absolute; in some ways, this is correct, but only partially. They make fiction into fact while simultaneously having a modality of both.

However, Mckenna is correct when juxtaposed to his coincidentia oppositorum (alchemical) reality. McKenna’s notion of coincidentia oppositorum parallels my notion of meta-morphing opposites that I borrowed from Baudrillard. Post (15). I noticed voters and institutions and their likeness to particular political (cult) groups. Those cult groups follow an ideology that their establishers had set in secret. They favour no political polarities but push ideologues that cross between those political parties – as antagonists (or associates, depending on which side you look at). It is a way to prop up an agenda as propaganda, an idea in its censored form (polarization). It is a sleight of hand for the accurate ideological positions (or conspiracy) they established for themselves – which may be unknowable to the public. 

McKenna’s coincidentia oppositorum is far more universal, encompassing a more psychedelic hermetic approach. The union of opposites is an idea alien to science, “it’s the idea that nothing can be understood, and unless it simultaneously viewed as being both what is and what it is not” – which is prominent in alchemical symbolism. It can take form or shape in the hermaphrodite, the union of Soul and Luna or even in the alchemical process through the union of mercury and lead (or Sulphur). In other words, our alchemical thinking is always antithetical; it always holds the possibility that by shifting perspectives, its opposite premise will gain power and come into focus.   

McKenna admitted throughout his lectures that language is a weird ancillary add-on to the human organism. Having perfected language, we lost the connection to the symbolic. We also became alienated from the living world, wandering around with amnesia. At the same time, we need to think of language as a material form. We need to work with it instead of public opinion, matter, or even energy. 

Our Lord confounded our language so we may not understand each other speech. As a result, culture is an interlocking bubble of assumptions like a collective hallucination, a delusion. It is not true that we/demi-gods come from the mythical gestation of the gods in clay, but this is our cultural myth, and we live inside it. Our current cultural myth is that we live in a world of neo-Masons and anti-protons, etc.; this is not true either – because it’s a linguistic construct that we culturally validate and live inside in, and these cultural myths permit certain things. They allow us to ignore other kinds of reality. Our language is setup to be ignored because it pursues only the statistical norms. Language is the process of distinguishing between what is false; this is why all language is a lie and why the ultimate truth lies in something unspeakable. However, the ascent to the unspeakable is still through philosophical analysis.   

The Novelty of 10,000 Things: It’s no surprise that this kind of doubt and pessimism from modern generalised people mimics that of ancient groups with competing schools of speculation and proof and pessimism throughout the Hellenistic world. With that pessimism and in the context of that universal despair, which attends the disillusionment of a great empire, emerged the works of literature in the Hermes-Corpus as an answer to their doubt. The renascence era misunderstood it as they took it at face value, but it was clearly understood by late Hellenistic people who understood its potential. The language in the corpus was analysed, and they concluded that the hermetic corpus was written either in the first or second centuries of Christ.

The Hermes-Corpus is the most poetic and accurate expression of ancient knowledge. It was reworked by the late Hellenistic people, who grew a religion around it that invoked the redemption of the world through magic. From here, Mandaeism grew (a Hellenistic Gnosis), which gave great strength to the power of life. Whether the material’s progeny (the Corpus) is older than the 1st or 2nd century, and whether it existed around the 10.000-year mark is unknown – it could have (speculatively); aspects of it could have been read and passed around during the time of the lost-Atlantis.

The fall of Atlantis was said to be less than 10.000 years old – and all the memory and historical events that come with the rise and fall of civilisations afterwards I called (archetypal) key-frames in history. McKenna describes it as a novelty, but a novelty that has the behaviours of the T/Dao. He said from then on to now, it is less than 10,000 years old, and anything beyond that put us into a realm of society that had no sufficient technology beyond a chipped flint.      

In the Tao-te-Ching, 10-000 was a way to describe infinite (innumerable) things. It wasn’t inherently a specific state of unit. Therefore, the Dao is also innumerable, indescribable and infinite. It is by no coincidence that 10-000 is also a thing for the elites (there are no coincidences, folks – they are conning you); it’s conscious to them they have a futile business model in Cern – because what they’re looking for can’t be captured much like how you cannot truly grasp the T/Dao as well as time.

The Dao is unnameable. It’s indescribable. You can’t use it, and you can’t push it; McKenna says, “It isn’t even there”; you can’t even perceive it. It’s selective, and it must be so. Science missed this aspect when categorising forces that maintain and shape the cosmos. This is Novelty or the T/Dao – it comes and goes into the world according to numerous unfathomable rules, builds structures up like dynastic families’ corporation’s nation’s states and pulls structures down – according to some unimaginable algorithm. Relative to this idea, time has qualities in the wax and wane of Novelty, an old notion in the East. It suggests that time has a quality, a novelty, which has an opposite called habit, and that either one gains dominance in an endless dynamic relationship. The result over a long period is that Novelty is conserved. It implies the universe as an engine for producing and distilling while maintaining Novelty. At which it passes it on to other higher states of Novelty – each with its properties and uniqueness. This makes time like an eradicable element coherent to matter, and when we bring it down to earth, those qualities are common to fate and destiny.  

For example, this kind of novelty is being played today as we witness political powers and their elite over-lords wanting to claim Russia as a manageable component for an ideal Eurasian vision. Gestating from British imperial paranoia, they were concerned about big powerful countries just above them as valuable assets like India. That concern flowed into handing over that disquietude to other countries across the pond. What we see as security states, like the United States, started as a British security concern. If we fractal that into slices, it’s this ever-west ward migration from Babylon to Turkey, Greek, Italian, Roman, and then Venetians (Phoenicians) – a continuity of empire that moved to France, Normandy, and England, then the U.S. Conspiracy-theorists had put a symbol in front of this movement to the West – that they were following wherever the (Indiana Jones like) Ark of power is. Meanwhile, the New Age talks about a cosmic Kundalini line of power radiating from the centre of the world.  

Of course, we are still living from the last vestige of an empire that emerged from European thinking that wondered the seas and created trade while being conducive to an uproar in the Protestant Reformation that sprang up – alongside the rise of modern industrialism. In short, it is an empire of science – a science that has exhausted itself and has become mere automation or machinery. Something without meaning because “the program of rational understanding pursued by science has pushed deeply into the phenomenon of nature – that the eternal contradictions of the method are now exposed for all to see.” – Terrence McKenna 

McKenna sees history as a prodigal son and believes there is a reason for this long descent into the matter. This peregrination was a shamanic journey. The Sharman goes into the world pool or ascends the world tree to go to the centre of the cosmos axis to recover the Pearl. The Pearl, the gift, or the lost soul, and then return with it … this is history. It was a descent to the hell worlds of matter to recover something lost not by us but by the breathing dice stall of the planets (planes of existence).

Why haven’t you been Arrested? When someone asked, “Why aren’t you in jail?” a question raised in one of his lectures, McKenna replied by stating that they might have sanctioned him as a spokesperson because of his intellectual insight towards psychedelic drugs – alongside being vocabulary proficient at articulating its effects. It would become apparent that it was less about agencies turning the other cheek – as he admitted having been on the run from those government agencies to being recruited by them in a deep background position before being positioned in public relations fifteen years afterwards as a mouthpiece. A contention arises from this confession, which somehow fuels conspiracy truthers’ egos and the need to cause controversy – as to cause such a fuss that his credibility must be questioned – when he was open about his past and intentions at the get-go.   

If McKenna were still alive, he would describe this kind of character assassination as imagination gone astray. When there are no safety systems in place, paranoia can set in. This is what happens when a body of evidence cannot make good on its first premise. We established McKenna worked for government agencies. It’s not a conspiracy if he was open about it from the beginning. What’s next? What else?    

MK-Ultra programs, seen through a bigger picture, had these phases from the beginning to where they are now. Initially, there was the counterculture amidst Cold War projects like MK-Ultra and whether secret agencies are responsible for creating or managing sub-cultures like the counterculture itself (I leave that to you). It is a fact the CIA was involved in psychedelic experiments. It has all the hallmarks of what you might find in the fictional romanticism of the Manchurian Candidate, which has ascendancy from a genuine researcher in John Marks’s “The Search for the Manchurian Candidate.” Everything that came from the counterculture works its way to the mainstream, like the symbolic significance of the Monarch (and the Monarch/MK-Ultra conspiracy). The imagery (butterfly) associates itself with celebrity culture and its secret affiliations.   

To MK-Ultra-2.0/3.0 – programs that continued after MK-Ultra ended. On the scope that the first program was about creating mind-controlled/psychic assassins that can be activated at any time in the future for the disharmony of society, i.e. school/public shootings to programs where it’s about the preparation of hosts or empty vessels for entity possession through mind-control, ritual magic(k) and psychedelic substances. This claim stems from Raschke’s assertion that these Ultra-Terrestrial, once known as greys, are responsible for deconstructing culture and society through their agents vis-a-vee mind-controllers and their patient-possessed agents. 

Raschke substitutes the pre-fix ultra from extra to stress that this phenomenon may not only be from the earth “but from outside the matrix of space, time, and matter. Furthermore, the visitors rather systematically studying our ways out of magisterial curiosity maybe working with methodical dispatch – to make us transparently conscious of, if not elevate us toward the realm in which they move.” – Raschke. Some have equated this realm to McKenna’s dimension of Elves, but it’s a bold claim. To assert that McKenna’s Elves’ are also Keen’s/Raschke’s Ultra-terrestrials and that they are connected or somehow share the same objective seems improbable. However, we can assume they traverse through these entheogen dimensions with ease. If you listen to his lectures about dimensions and entities (elves), they are mutually exclusive compared to other UFO lore. What you find in UFO lore and their anomalies are closer to the supernatural myths than DMT accounts. It’s like some creator has given a back door through these substances to explore a place that is akin to an entheogen version of a source code. 

Self-forming machine elves; they look like self-dribbling jewels shaped like basketballs. They have linguistic intentionality and they want to communicate in song, and they sing languages that literally appear while it’s condensing into objects in three-dimensional space. They are like crystalline jewels that are semi-see through while opaque and like sculptures when looked at are like sentences that move – like little objects that have linguistic coherency. They are urging participates to explore and sing these songs and make these object condense, but then why?

McKenna declared that when it comes to this subject, reason can all take us so far that we must go with the divine imagination, but not so much that it becomes unfathomable. Not in the sense of distinction or polarization of magic versus technology, but rather all those rules from physics, like the conversation of mass/momentum, thermodynamics, and uncertainty principles, do not function in this entheogen dimension instead; those languages can literally appear in front of you if you will it – than is atomized into our three-dimensional reality. I surmise it’s not a dimension external likened to hierarchal dimensional monads or celestial dimensions (where you’re UFO/Ultra-Terrestrials come from), but is internal, seen or not seen.    

McKenna attributes the “why” to the spirit of the dead because jungle tribes would do the same. He further suggests the concept of purgatory, where souls go to be cleansed – they are not sinful that they go to hell, but go to purgatory for a few thousand years before they enter heaven. An idea once thought to gestate from Roman contact with gnostic ideas, but it was from Saint Patrick. It came about when he converted the Irish to Christianity – he did so by Christianising the myth of Faye (Fairy Land). In the Celtic myth, the dead go to a realm that is co-present to ours they exist all around us; we can’t see them, but they are in broad activity states. The DMT as an identification parallels these fairy myths, which can be unpredictable. These ferries/DMT elves don’t necessarily run in your favour. They can be cruel and boisterous, but their true purpose in myth is to create language known to be keepers of linguistic artifice. 

On a TV show called Law and Order SVU, an episode called “We Dream of Machine Elves.” A strange fictional twist in the character named Adler, who’s loosely based on McKenna, this Adler/McKenna persona was arrested amidst a plot that entails a young girl being found drugged with a hallucinogenic substance DMT in her body, and in her psychotic state, she believed everyone around her was Machine Elves mind controlling her actions. In reality, people she knew were indeed controlling her, and the hallucinogenic was the catalyst. Further investigation reveals a string of victims all connected to a shady therapist. Detective Rollins then goes undercover as a student to gather intelligence for her case.

For an episode stemming from Law and Order (a more memorable episode among its numerous stack), the show itself polarises law but favours a pro-state, pro-police side, they are seen as institutional heroes – the episode is still tunnelled through that logic-pragmatic rational modality. If X-files writers wrote the episode, you can imagine a more accurate approach to McKenna as an intellect and other worldly subjects. The show imparts a narrow view approach to McKenna, making him more of a cult leader rather than an intellectual presenter. The shows imply mental breakdowns are all but predestined if you take these drugs that excessive use of psychedelics is likened to crack – the misuse of referent does not end there; Elves are Blobs, not transcalent humanoids. While there is a need for a warning when taking psychedelics, McKenna always imparted a controlled environment and dosages.  

McKenna would describe this narrow viewpoint as defeatist, “there is no notion of hope for the pharmacological engineering of consciousness for a reasonable end – if you’re not willing to go at it alone with God’s grace, well then you’re consigned to the road of hell.” Again, McKenna is unable to see the “warning” side of this argument; he describes himself obsessed, and all he cares about is this attenuated effect of psychedelics. I’ve mentioned before in another thesis that he never felt the grace of god or an enlightenment experience without the intoxication of drugs and, therefore, biased towards it. This is where you stop learning from McKenna and start learning from Alan Watts.
