I was going to completely pivot off the last few 'sermons' in here (lol), to direct all of our attentions back to the serious business of making money.
Which we will still do.
But I was thinking, maybe I'd just as well though, at least point out, a couple of facts - and they absolutely are facts - that the general media will never tell you. This is immediately current stuff too.
And I do know, there are one or two fairly serious-minded and completely good and sincere people who read here, who are of the Islamic Faith. And that's great.
Beautiful. Take a good appreciative long look at it...
But you know yourself, in your own lives, in your own world, and throughout all of your recent life experience - what government, what large-scale 'social' institution ever told you the unvarnished truth about anything??
So why, using your own common sense, would you imagine, that anything 'handed down' by multiple successive iterations of 'large-scale' socially-dominant elites/governments, would be even close to 'the truth?' About anything, never mind trusting them to tell you about 'God!' LOL
Come on man, use your brains!
Based on what you yourself personally experience today from governments and powerful bureaucracies and religious leaders and large ruling groups - is there any chance at all, that some book you have in your hands, that is 'authorized' by some large-scale social dominating establishment, bears even any slightest resemblance, to the original real thing? And was not sneakily composed with lots and lots of underhanded and rather nasty, intentions??
Have you (ever) heard of Khaled Al-Hindi?
No?
Well he is a top-line leader of the Socialist Party of Venezuela. He is an Iranian.
Huh? Wa?
I will tell you why the United States attacked Venezuela. They were building Iranian-designed and manufactured long-range missiles and missiles systems inside Venezuela, with the express intent and purpose of launching those into America. You think that is a wild and crazy idea?
And what if I told you 100% they had a nuclear weapons capability designed into those missiles and warheads?
Right now today, the IRGC is blowing up, of its own accord, several large munitions stockpiles inside Iran, but essentially, the aim is to destroy as much evidence of what they were really up to, as possible, pending the leadership fleeing the country and running somewhere, I have no idea where it is they think they can go at this point.
I like that too but it's impractical. Doesn't mean I wouldn't have one!
Common sense is one thing, and we all assume we have it, and yes we might do, but do we use it...?
I don't know.
The key, seeing ahead, in terms of finance and economics and the things that will happen in our world over the coming short few years before some market-enforced 'final accounting' or if not that, then a social fracture which will break up people into two distinct groups: those who 'believe' whatever they have and are (still) being told, and those who will start to insist on hard usable facts - is that the first most basic acknowledgement in one's head, is that the 'big picture,' the one being foisted on the public, is the false reality.
It is always the false reality.
That guy is super-rich, but you are not. He, she, they -, have (lots and lots of) valuable stuff but you do not, so you have to be their slave...
Hey. People. You only need 1 thing if it is really important and significant and useful to others. You only need there to be just that 1 thing in existence, in fact.
Only one.
Not many. Not thousands or millions; just the one.
This is Atlantis today, or, what's left of it.
And, you need to impress on yourself, inside your consciousness - that currency isn't money.
See, let me explain a fundamental if complex thing here, not the core understanding behind what makes that one thing valuable and important, but just a basic fact about economics and politics:
Governments (any and all large-scale institutions and that includes your religious groups of all persuasions and 'beliefs'), always spend more than they have and they always need to have more.
And the way they arrange to do that, to get, the financial flows that they require - is by borrowing.
Yes they hyper-inflate the currencies but that still does not meet their need for current liquidity; it just is the mechanism by which they tear up their past debt burdens at least enough to go borrow again. See what they do is they fold in, or 'roll-over' past capital commitments, to banks and financiers who don't genuinely need to be paid in full but rather, want to maintain their status and power in the economy - they fold in those debts, with the new forward capital obligations. In that way, together with the inflationary destruction of value, they cause a certain amount of the 'currency' and therefore also the money (IE such proportions of the flows of currency that are retained as 'profits' by private hands, not government's) - to disappear from existence...
But - and here is the big key detail that you need to know - the only borrowings they can get, is from money that already exists.
I hope that struck home just then.
Those of you who acquired that little black notebook into which you were writing down stuff (right?) realize - that is worth money now right...
A major Beechwood forest in Italy. Do you know, that the older trees distribute carbon through their root system, to the younger trees in the forest.
For two reasons: ...Now that there are AI programs and execution systems 'buying' old books and literally destroying them (1) and all 'copyright' is basically being thieved by AI (2).
So that means only real material actual books, held between your hands, are able to maintain their 'copyright/s' as it were - so long as those who bought those, never published them anywhere, at least not in this era or until AI was made illegal and the illegality severely enforced.
Now, I know some of you will say, 'Oh Jesus Calvin, you could have told us five years ago when you started this nonsense, that you already knew they were actually going to be physically destroying books!' And -, 'Okay Calvin, so you were right and we would not have believed (there's that word again!) you back then, but hey, how about spooling out some 'nuther new 'prediction' at least now that we know everything you told us turned out, no matter how ludicrous it seemed -, to be true.
There is an old old saying, and typically, it is Greek not Arabic or Latin or English:
'Whom the Gods (I said GODS PLURAL, not some fake unitary narcissist 'mono-thing') wish to destroy, they first make insane.' It sounds just so 'believable' when people say 'but Monotheism...' It's delusional is what it is. You keep thinking about it until your brain lights up from inside. It's very easy to delude people - say something slick and glib to them, and basic, so that it all seems so clear and simple...
Injeel = Greek word root; Iqra = Greek word root; Iblis = Greek word root; 'Diblis' (the 'b' is sounded like a 'v' in Greek) aka 'Devil.'
Whom they wish... ...to destroy. Read that last word out slowly, aloud.
You think there is no possible way anyone would be that insane to actually try and launch a nuclear attack at the USA.
'Monotheism' is an insane lunatic notion. Bears absolutely no consistent meaning or hold in reality. Making itstand 'outside of reality' makes things only worse! EG Male and Female are polar opposites - if 'God' were only ONE THING then it would not be able to authentically and genuinely know Love, and then that would make it deficient and then that would instantly make it 'not God...' ...It (Monotheism) is the stupid idea of absolute stupid insane lunatics. 'God' is people (means several people-like Beings), and they all hold hands. THAT is 'God.' ...Listen to the lyrics below.
And yes, I can tell you what is going to happen in the next three years.
All human beings have certain innate faculties - that are not known in regular circles today.
It gets to the point though, over multiple successive generations, that those specific faculties are 'bred out' in the sense that the actual mechanistic parts of the nervous system, which account for how those faculties become usable, become vestigial, and finally useless, abandoned in anyone's life, and so they are totally lost to many people.
Nice place in Provence. France.
People widely express that human life is difficult and exhausting, but no one seems to think that logically, it could be due to an active opposition; something or somebody, that is deliberately holding the human race down, holding it back.
And people don't really accept that, and are very facile in saying oh that must be some kind of 'conspiracy theory' and not a genuine material reality.
Okay. So let me show you something.
Recently in these pages I have been quite critical of Islam and Islamic theology and let's say, 'theory.'
If you said to anyone Muslim today, hey listen, you are actually not a Muslim at all, and you are exactly doing things against what Muhammad actually said and taught - they would all get angry and say 'why are you disrespecting us...'
The 'Quran' today, is the 'Uthmani Quran.' It was compiled under the orders of the Caliph Uthman.
And when it was finally compiled the scribes told him 'What we have been writing down that we heard Muhammad say, is not even Arabic.' And he retorted to them: 'Just leave it as it is.'
However beforehand, he burned all of the manuscripts other than the one he had caused to be made, from whatever sources - and they are actually nondescript, unknown today, have no formal ties to any one particular authentic known source other than that the final text is attributed to his personally-nominated scribe at the time, Zayd ibn Thabit.
FBI came to me and said, 'How come you been posting all this Iran stuff, like five years ago? Saffron, silk, ice cream?' No they didn't! LOL
The 'Companions of the Prophet' were in fact so angry, they killed Caliph Uthman, and threw his body in the trash. One of his associates stole the body back after three or so days, and had it buried in the Jewish graveyard there.
In his life, Muhammad specifically instructed only to the take the Quran from any one of four people: Selim Awla bin Hudaifa, Muad ibn Jabal, Ubai ibn Ka'ab, Abdula ibn Masa-ud.
And -, no Muslims today have done that. At all.
Despite the endless justifications they all mount to excuse themselves for why they have gone against the express instruction of their own Prophet, there is a problem with what they have done.
Specifically, what they have is not 'the Quran.' Period.
And because hardly any of them actually speaks Arabic formally, or reads it as a native speaker and reader, they themselves have no clue as to the actual specific meanings of many key words.
Everybody for example, thinks this 'angel' came to Muhammad, squeezed him and commanded him: 'Iqra!' They all think this means 'Read!'
It does not.
The word comes from the Ancient Greek 'i-Kora' and is part of the phrase used to describe what the chorus of chanting people do, when they place the Sibyl Oracle into her trance, causing the ground to thunder - kora geo-bronte. Also, they say 'theo-bronte;' God-thunders. ...And then speaks.
The word 'Iqra' in Classical Arabic, means to 'reverberate.'
Next, Muhammad says he received the Words of God descending down through Seven - as the Muslims today say - 'Ahruf.'
The Muhammadan Arabic uses a derivation of the Latin and Greek words for the number 'Seven' - Sab'at but today's Muslims alter that so that it seems not to be so close to the Jewish word 'Sabat.'
We have this little island down here, see. And they make these 'Lamb and Rosemary Pies.' ...You don't know unless you know.
In fact, it is sounded, in practical Arabic, just like the Roman or Latin 'Sept,' and the word is now written 'Sab'ah.' So - Sab'ah Ahruf.
And they think 'Ahruf' means 'styles.' It means 'steps.'
So, back to Shirley MacLaine then - yes, this is the Seven Sound and Light Modes, the Seven Steps of the Musical Scale, the Seven Chakras. The Seven Colors of Joseph, the Ladder that took him to Heaven.
'Sab'ah Ahruf.'
And then, exactly like what MacLaine says in her book - you can bring to the outside, by voice, what is reverberating from the vibrations inside, you. 'i-Kora.' Mystical Chanting. 'The Sibylline Chorus.'
And then you can see the future, prophesy. ...When the Sibyls did that, they had people stand next to them, writing down what they were saying because they themselves had no idea what the words and sounds meant, and these had to be deciphered later.
Everything, that exists in human society, in its own history of its own past, is always subverted by material worldly rulers and tyrants, and then a whole big 'story' is inserted and asserted back onto the unsuspecting and innocent ordinary people, which serves to keep them down.
Humans (ought to) have minds that Search the Stars.
Shirley MacLaine will tell you, if you move through the Seven Levels, the Seven Steps, and take these energetic patterns stepped up, of sensory activity, to your head - and then touch your head to the ground, you will be discharging those forces back into the 'Chthone,' the Earth, rather than sending them into the Heavens...
And then what you are actually doing when you do that, is that you are insulting and affronting the Heavens except luckily for you, they know what is going on and why. And what your intentions are. You are not trying to cause offence at all!
You are a Son of the Heavens, literally made by the Stars and the Powers of the Universe, with the Divinely-Given Faculty of Mind that can search the Stars and the Constellations and suddenly now you are worshiping the ground -, the dirt... O-kay.
Okay so Shirley MacLaine does get right into detailing what she exactly does. It's in pages, from 113 - 115.
I've stopped there today because it was quite a nice surprise, basically to observe that - well, definitely from my point-of-view - she really knows what she is talking about!
Her book is total canon as far as I'm concerned. It out-flies all of these big major world religion texts like the Quran and so on, by as far as from here to the immediate next Galaxy at least.
Silk hot air balloon models, in a restaurant in Firenze. The Renaissance people developed air travel, from basic ideas they got from China. They never 'flew to the moon.' But they thought about it. Their 'thinking' though was not silly or only 'imagination.'
None of these other things, apart from a very very few -, go even anywhere near togiving out actually clear, simply-worded, detailed explanations either of the internal human psychological mechanisms and actual sources of dynamic human intelligent energy - or any authentic understanding of the material nature of 'soul.' They're all obtuse and when you examine them closely with facts and with the benefit of modern scientific knowledge, they turn into very obvious deceits; if highly contrived, very clever, as well as long and turgid of course.
I haven't read, this time around, any further just yet, but I imagine, she is going to get into just where it all leads you...
And that's just the logical next place following her actually detailing the techniques of the mind that are necessary in order to 'go somewhere.'
Meaning, to go beyond the animal-brain and reflexive responses that are simply immature and animalistic.
Now here is something hugely practical and highly valuable, if a bit (nay, often it is a lot and then it can become depressing) provoking of the deep cynic in a person -, when it comes to using the processes that she is discussing (and that I have been discussing here for some time):
It will become so so easy to look at another person when they are simply even just standing, sometimes, but definitely when they are talking, and 'see right through them;' to who they are inside, what bits and pieces are in there, and what is missing.
A great example of this is this recent addition to the American political stage - Abdul El-Sayed.
You will see him very often, look away and slightly up to your left on screen (which might be his right in real life unless the image was reversed in the camera/digital vision), when he is constructing some answer to a question about moral and ethical context and justification for something, whatever thing he was just being asked to comment about.
All of these people, are incomplete beings - they do not have the function which takes their own personal consciousness including a self-consciousness 'up above to see down far ahead and back into the past and report to the Ego, facts, reality and complete objective truth.'
That same lineage produced this.
Instead, what they are doing is resorting to a manufactured internal image of 'good and bad' a moral template if you will, and the ethics of that -, from within the mind-created imaginary 'scenery.' And then, however, all of these people, 'join mental hands,' as it were, with all others who share that imagery, despite that it is a made-up one, entirely imaginary.
But it is like a realistic painting, full of elements and color and extreme detail - and this makes it seem real or all the more real, you could say.
The problem is that almost none of it is intrinsically rooted to outside hard material realities...
You see, you can't play around with hard external material reality and pretend those things are different to how they are: jump off a very tall building with no harness and you will fall, and then you will die.
That is a 'hard outside material reality.'
Muhammad, however - the Prophet - flew to the moon...
Well just how did he do that, though?
Shirley MacLaine is not going to tell you she ever did that by 'imagining' it, or thinking it, and then, somehow, actually, she physically just left the ground and 'flew to the moon.' For example.
Even the Apostle Paul never says that kind of thing - even he says 'I don't know whether in the body or in the spirit' (that 'I did such-and-such;' like fly away somewhere). He was convinced though, that 'it' did happen, or something happened that left him with particular knowledge, based on facts.
And so the process he does not know - and he says he doesn't know.
Juliet Prowse. She was also with Shirley MacLaine in Can-Can, and had a cameo role in that. She's a British Indian, part-South African born in Mumbai.
The point is, it would helpful to any person using their brain, to hear the methods, and in our present time - as I have attempted to outline to those of you who have asked - scientific bases for how any of these things can even be regarded as 'real;' whether only psychologically real, or materially, real.
MacLaine uses the word they had back then in the Eighties - 'visualize.'
I don't use that word, on account that the militantly stupid and ignorant but still insistent that no such things can exist, always steer the meaning of that word to 'back to the imaginary;' that is, what is only happening in the imagination.
But when they do that, they are neither understanding what the word imagination is, and what things the imagination can provide (create, for instance, be creative), nor what the process of thinking, by contrast, entails and is.
Shirley MacLaine is going to tell you, thinking, when it is properly done, is a process of electro-chemistry, micro-electricity (electronics), and energetic dynamics and a hard material physical, if dynamic, reality. That is, in this specific context, of how she is talking about doing it, using it, the brain, and mind - it is not 'imaginary' at all!
...Not an imaginary thing. 'Images' are in any case, only a very small part of what is going on here.
Again, unless one is regularly doing these sorts of things, those things MacLaine talks about and details in her book -, it is not necessarily easy to just 'accept' that they are all true things and real things.
But, taking that example of El-Sayed, and he is only one of a swathe of modern people that do it - you can literally see him, via his eye movements and his face, how it is constantly frowning on the one hand as if to say - 'trust me I am a serious person' - but really, he is frowning because he is actually thinking about matching words, what he is going to say, with the images constructed in his head!
British India, because this is the Raffles, Jaipur.
And that is different to when, say a Shirley MacLaine says 'I saw' this and this. Because she does not mean 'she made up' or that she 'imagined' or that she invented, but that she literally has a faculty of seeing, and has true inner vision, but not any 'metaphysical' thing: she actually can literally see. ...With her eyelids closed.
And then the reality of it is that what she sees adds up to factual things, objective, hard material things with hard material consequences.
Imaginary things regularly fail to add up when it comes to our waking hard material physical reality.
The process is about energy, real actual organised, internal human sensory and sensory field energy - and because it is really driven by real actual energy, there are always necessary 'output' events -; effects, consequences, results.
It's Physics, not Metaphysics.
Muhammad never flew or went to the moon.
Shirley MacLaine has done and can do.
Because the human micro-electric circuitry is highly-composed, highly-organised, structured, integrated - it is a thing, a single thing made up of lots of parts. That, is the 'individual human conscious being.' The human material body and all of its bio-chemical components and systems, are only there to provide more or less raw sense input data ultimately into the mind.
I shouldn't really do this, because I know some people go out and buy stuff like this! This is not that expensive though.
The simple material body then, is not 'you.' It is the sense data provider. And that is, all it is.
Whereas Abdul El-Sayed literally has no concept, certainly no experience of, an-other 'body' or energetic organised integrated structure, he has got to resort to a self-misled notion about reality which is merely just a set of templates, memories in his material brain cells animated by the bio-chemistry while that is still happening - to refer to his 'template' of 'reality' - by contrast a complete and advanced-consciousness person, can always and continuously refer to immediate direct energy signals, coming to them faster than the Speed of Light, which are harmonically vibrating (or not as the case may be; they could be generating dissonance) with their own personal integrated energy field structure ex-the material body.
Shirley MacLaine - the real one, the one 'inside' if you will - cannot die. Muhammad already has died. The problem with 'Muhammad' is that there is a clear dissonance in his ethical narrative: nobody needs to repeat 'programs' to develop muscle-memory for enslavement and autonomic slavery. The truth and the reality is the complete opposite of that! 'Seeing' Truth is seeing God. Talking about God as if you know but know one else does - is deception; often deliberate deception enforced through guilt and demands of honor and faithfulness and unthinking blind loyalty. That's the essence of spiritual DISSONANCE. In fact it's the ultimate dissonance for and in the human soul.
Anybody who really has some 'touch' with their own healthy inner being, so long as it is indeed advanced, will feel the difference between harmonies, and dissonances coming from ideas.
There is a really strong dissonance often, with what political people say and do, and your own inner integrated structural field. There is a really strong dissonance, between words coming off a page, and your own inner common sense!
The justifications that are always thrown at the unsuspecting, the totally innocent in the matter, by the extremely malicious and underhanded, every politician and tyrant on the planet that ever walked - are always along the lines of 'believe me/trust me' - you are nothing, I am everything; God spoke to me... And, 'you are disloyal!' ...Don't you feel guilty?
LOL
The fact is, a thing either is, or it just plain isn't.
There isn't any 'untouchable text' or special words that make up for the difference. If Shirley MacLaine's view is correct, you will be able to get the Orbs to turn up (at minimum!) - and more.
Ah, but doesn't the Book say not to put The Lord Thy God to the Test?
Well who made this character 'God' though?
The Christian Bible (for one good example) certainly does not say not to put Him to the Test.
In fact it says, 'Go on then, if you simply have to stick your fingers into this Flesh and feel the wounds and the blood, well go on, then.'
At least you can't go buy that though. It's way too expensive.
And that guy did and it was all there as specified.
(And that's the point - stuff needs to be real. It can't be this forever fairy tale narrative stories and words all the time with no hard manifested reality).
Yes it must have been a bit of a shock, no doubt.
People, human beings, are all, mostly all, just so backward...
We have spent a couple of years now in here, talking about the harmonies.
What I like about how MacLaine writes in her book - and I think it is totally her doing the actual writing, not some 'after-market editor aka ghostwriter' - is that she is succinct, practical, completely pragmatic. She flawlessly went from 'seven colored chakras' to 'body language' and, thirty-five years ago, pre-empted me on what I am now saying about Abdul El-Sayed and how he talks. She goes on to explain why a fit body sustains that shape on account of the 'inner energy situation' primarily, and well before anyone goes to the gym to work out.
It's not just the brain's 'mind-set' that is there, that has to be in place; there is the necessary balance in the subtle energetic 'body.'
You guys really need to work hard on sticking your fingers deep into the flesh. Getting those Orbs to appear for you.
You can do it. 100% you can do it.
Frightening people by telling them 'Oh you are going against God' is first of all a lie, second of all it is an outrageous lie, and third of all it is deliberately designed to hold them back from reaching out... ...their hands to the Tree of Life, and eat of its Fruit, and so, Live Forever.
The Tree of Life is the Harmonies. The Fruit are the Melodies.
Here is the real story: But if you eat of the Fruit of the Template that you yourselves made up, in the Garden of your own Mortal and Deficient Minds, in the Tree of your own Imaginations and those of the miscreants who lied to you, and pretend those things are 'Good and Evil' instead of to really ascend Above and see the Reality - you will surely die in that very day!
And that's the Fact.
Go on. Keep risking that I am wrong. See where you end up.
Put your hand out, and take the Real Fruit.
'...And then Satan took him to a high place and said Behold, all of these Earthly Kingdoms I will give to you, if you but bow down to me and become enslaved to me, and worship me.' And people always ask where in the Bible did Jesus say 'I am God, Worship me.' He didn't.
I think it's often... no, virtually always, totally lost from the public's mind, that certain ancient texts talk about now effects; and not, as many people think, 'later' stuff - as in, at the End of the World, come so-called 'Judgement Day,' et cetera.
In the Book of Mark, Jesus turns up where the whole remaining eleven (now it's only 11! Jason Arday has gone killed himself...) are having dinner - meat, as I recall it says - and He upbraids them for their disbelief at those others (who evidently were not the main direct male followers either) who said they had seen Him alive and physical and quite well. I mean fair enough though, right? This was a huge claim originally being made - 'Yes, I will die, and then, I will turn back up alive for real.'
Prolly just some Turin restaurant.
The dying part, evidently, all of them could readily come to terms with!
After all, there was a lot of dying going on - and no question, the Romans could do it, that is, kill anyone they pleased. Same as, pretty much, the IRGC are doing now today in Iran to their own people (well, not 'their own people' of course because 'their own people' are only the Arabs albeit many have been there since very ancient times, and even then, only the Muslim Arabs).
We make a very big mistake, when we fail to understand how any of these 'manuscript cultures' of the past actually worked.
It was - extremely expensive making manuscripts!
The actual oldest - for example - 'book' written in Hebrew was found inside one of the caves that the Taliban blew up in Afghanistan, and it was a book of a few short prayers, and some poems, dating from 'only' 1200 years ago. Long long long after any fairy tale notion of 'the Bible' ever being composed in Hebrew...
Although this book was clearly of a religious and worship nature, there was literally nothing in it that bore any resemblance to what is supposedly the Old Testament today.
The Septuagint, was commissioned by a massively wealthy Egyptian Emperor and King, Ptolemy II of Alexandria.
A single sheet of music manuscript paper, on which Beethoven would have written out his music - would be out of a folio worth today's price of a government bond in the nominal thousands of face value 'dollars.'
So - not cheap, any of this.
Nah, is actually in Firenze, Florence. Not Turin.
The Arabs that eventually conquered Syria and all the way up to Tashkent, Uzbekistan, where some of the most exquisite Arabic art of the conquest period, may be seen today - had inherited the entire external armed might of the by then defunct Sassanian Empire.
And so they were not broke, and they also inherited the whole entire 'manuscript culture' social infrastructure left over by the Sassanian culture. Ink, paper, craft manufacturing, skilled craftsmen, implements, leather covering technology -.
But then along with that, they also inherited the knowledge base.
All of these groups though, the Ptolemaic Egyptians, the Romans, the Sassanians, certainly the Byzantines, all of them had the core idea that what was written down in these expensive commitments to ink and paper, both of memory and of cultural belief - was the basis of formal Law to be spread throughout the citizenry and the slave classes; down to even how merchants from foreign lands would be treated.
And so, to enforce in the credulous and uneducated minds of the ordinary people, how important those words written down were, they were told the words were backed by some Divine Authority.
Even today, literally on the Arms and Flags of the Windsor usurpers and puppets of the City of London Freemasons, it says 'God and King.'
Well but how 'God?' How do they know God has any part of it? When did actual 'God' arrive and place His or Their actual imprimatur on anything? ...In England.
Why not 'Arthur, King of the Britons and his Divine Dragon Cambion Merlin...'
See, very hard to have 'faith' nowadays when we have the super-wealthy and their 'sky-decks.'
Would make more logical sense in the 'British' story and to an extent they preserve that through the symbol of 'George and the Dragon.'
But then they just as quickly say, that, is mythology, if folkloric; and local.
...Look, what I'm trying to say is preserved inside some of these ancient texts and stories, which are really no more than fairy tales on the whole except they are forced onto the common ignorant public as 'God-sent,' are a small few really correct ideas that came from somewhere real, and were incorporated holistically into the bigger picture, as it were.
Mostly, these 'true things' (they are true, I'm just placing the phrase in inverted commas to highlight and separate them) come via the etymology, via the words themselves and their ineluctable root meanings.
If we go back to the example of Mark there, this God 'Jesus' (not His real name back then, but close enough and quite functional today for us all the same) appears after His Death, to a tiny handful of quite unsuspecting people in the broad run of the narrative - that is, those people are not handled inside the texts as anything absolutely extra-special.
Maybe Mary Magdalene, understandably Mary the Mother; that certainly makes some sense...
But there were others, not even named!
Shows how special they were to the writers... Not.
But then leave all that aside, what you actually get that is clearly underscored - how that Jesus tells the closest followers that they have been idiots, more or less. (He didn't say that, I'm implying it). ...And then, He makes a really huge statement, and this is the one that goes missing from the mindset, generally, of all those people following this religion:
He says, here are the signs that shall follow those people who do what I have told them - 'they shall touch the sick, and these shall recover.'
What?!
Yes. Very difficult to force yourself to hold a 'faith' in something unseen, and not yet delivered.
Uh-oh. There goes the doctoring racket.
Except not though of course, because - go back to the few and the small and the virtually unknown and the not noticed.
...It's only a very few that can 'do it.' The rest have to resort to doctors.
So let's now jump all the way forward to that thieving and heavily plagiarizing manuscript culture of Jason Arday, sorry, 'the Arabs' and see if there is anything in there that nevertheless and despite that the whole thing is more or less complete made-up nonsense designed to bulwark the moral authority of various warlords and post-Empire scoundrels (what they were, too!) by stealing from the past and imposing all of that moral over-structure onto the dumb unwashed masses - let's see if there is anything that is left in there, if not intact, yet actually having real meaning and practical functioning relevance.
Well...
See, this word 'Jannah' that today's Muslims all think means 'Heaven.' Well it doesn't.
It means the Unseen, the Invisible, the Hidden. None of these people even ever went there to see it - what was in there. So-called 'Muhammad' claims to have and it (what he says Heaven is like) is just a repetition of bits and pieces of Apocryphal books of 'Enoch' around at the time. You'd think considering he is the outstanding Prophet of All-Prophets, that he could do better than just copy other people's stories word-for-word and pretend they are his own account in his own words of what he saw... And tell us what he himself saw. Except of course he didn't see anything. Because he never went to 'Heaven.'
I have faith, that the human mind, is able to find a doorway, into anywhere and anything.
That's if 'he' even existed at all. We have a record of some real guy 'Kuthum al Ameena' who was later on conflated into this 'Muhammad' character by a ruler called Mu'awiya commissioning his own writers to do this 'manuscript' thing.
Anyway, not the point.
There is a whole saga today's Muslims have interpolated from the wording about what they are calling 'Heaven,' in which they have this phrase 'Jannat ul Firdaus' - supposedly, a tree, which grows in Heaven.
But they have jumped to a linguistic conclusion from those two main word components of the phrase: 'Jannah' means Hidden/Unseen/Secret, and 'Firdaus' does not mean a tree, but rather, it is an enclosed garden in which certainly there could be trees.
And then, this new 'manuscript culture' has shoved two strands of more ancient folkloric narratives - the one being that Jesus is the Living Vine, who has both gone into the Underground (the Underworld, really) which thing is mentioned in the Gospels where it is explicitly stated, but then, the vague un-deciphered words 'Saba Lamah Chthon.' Which is actually Ancient Greek and means that the God is opening (e-ftha, or simply 'i') a gateway (i-Lamah - the Lamassu are Guardians of the Gates) and placing His roots into Chthone, the Underworld.
...And like the actual fairy tale of Jack and the Magical Beanstalk (none of these things are 'fairy tales;' they are true things, but psychological or metaphysical), the God-Vine grows all the way to the 'clouds' aka into Heaven.
'Jannah' is from the same root word from which 'the Jann' (people) comes - or, you will more recognize, a single Djinn (genie).
All of these things are from an Unseen World.
They cannot be seen by mortal eyes.
Heaven - a place you can get into and you can see - is an Enclosure, enclosed entirely from the mistakes and problems of the human mortal world. And there is a way in, an entrance, which is a gate the same as you might see somewhere on the outside along the perimeter of a thick, manicured and high bush wall of some rich person's maze garden in the French Riviera. Something say like the Rothschild's Villa Ephrussi in France.
Firenze Fashion.
Well but Heaven is not in the Rothschild's mansions. And the Gate of Heaven is not along any of their outside walls.
But I will go back to Mark.
'The signs that will follow all those...'
Now. The signs are there now. It does not say 'that will follow them later at some point at the End of the World' and so on.
But then also clearly, they are not in the hands of just everyone.
Naturally, even the most ardent of 'followers' will doubt it though. They did before. And Jesus 'upbraided them for their lack of faith and their doubts.'
Yes we do have a great amount of 'modern science' today.
Of course it's also much easier to find a doctor than it is to find the Gateway to the Enclosure of Heaven.
You will have noticed how that over recent years, perhaps going back even some decades, there is a certain 'frisson' that has left the scene generally.
If there were any fun and excitement left in the markets, Oliver Stone would have spun off another couple of 'Wall Streets.' But he won't be able to do that - there isn't any such thing as 'Wall Street' anymore; at least not anything that bears even the slightest resemblance to all of that.
Yes, symbols. But the semiotics of what, though?
But we already 'know all the problems.' There's nothing but problems everywhere.
Basically, the sky is falling down.
I know I won't be able to deliver too much of the solution in just this piece, but we can make a decent enough start.
It's important to understand, to begin with, that across society as a whole, psychically forces become multiplied when large swathes of the population all get driven along together, by some particular interest, some attractive proposition, some prospect - of gain.
The standard thing throughout history, is that a process of 'Chinese Whispers' happens. Someone hears something significant, possibly quite valid, but then when they pass it on, lots of trouble-makers and just plain, poor listeners, enter the affair -. 'bad hearers' as it were, carry the story on, and it all becomes a jumbled up mess in the end.
Symbols and iconography and ritualistic practices take shape and develop very early on - in the broader society - and these become part of this phenomenon of 'psychic force multiplying.'
People feel, a certain way, inside. They gravitate to the symbols, not the actual ideas.
And the whole process drives an emotional tie to the 'thing;' whatever it is.
Look, to bring it all down-to-earth - the semiotics of Wall Street included braces worn with hand-stitched shirts with monograms...
But then, it is not true to say the symbols are completely disconnected, to the core concepts. They may have been very connected. And they would have been at least somewhat connected.
The taste, is not yet all lost...
When a society loses those connections, however, to what immediately previously they broadly-speaking held to be important - then the whole place goes 'flat.' The meaning goes from social motivations as they had been.
'The thrill is gone.' A song title from the legendary B.B. King.
And the problem with that is, the big institutions - the banks, the political parties, all of it even scientists and academics - can no longer trade on what they had previously assumed were the guaranteed needs, wants, and desires, of a community.
But students of David Ogilvy will recognize right away, the more significant aspect of it all, beyond that you can no longer assume and take for granted what you previously did, when it came to selling something...
And that is that the feeling, the emotional need, has departed.
If you yourself get sucked into that sense of draining away the life spirits - you will literally end up feeling drained!
For indeed you will be psychically drained.
Energy moves. It goes down through the paths of least resistance, down to the pools of containment. And it is from those, that upward pressures can flow through small diameter nozzles -.
What instigates the high energy feelings, the psychic forces that drive motivation - is, not cyclical novelty, but elliptical novelty.
Every Season has a distinct 'spirit.'
Montmartre Winter, will never be like this again. And Winter is coming, though not the one people expect.
Down here right now it is the opposite of what it is for most of you - it is Springtime now, and the 'mass formation' of the blooms is because of an intrinsic natural energy. You can definitely pick up a psychic force from it.
'Force' is, in engineering, Mass times Motion.
Right now, in human society right across the planet, people think it will require a huge (as in, a large mass of) force, to move the people, or any specific individual come to that.
Whereas it is a laser cutting tool that is required.
And for that you just need to focus the output effects of a small mass, imposing its gravity, up a very thin tube.
The greatest Empires in history, on the planet, began more often than not, from out of the pages of some book.
I think I am one of the only people in the history of the human race who say that Cicero was a thief and a plagiarist.
Even so, you could do a lot worse than to acquire a copy of 'Catilinarian Orations' and tuck it under your arm and head off to your local Starbucks (or better), and study every word that is contained within.
...Placing the stress on the word 'contained' there.
For the pool contains the water.
And you place but the small tube beneath the mass of liquid, and from thence it flows up the tiny pipe - to the outside world beyond.
[This thing is another that doesn't really make too many moves until at least 2:10 in. But nevertheless, listening with good headphones right from the start, teaches one to have patience, when waiting on magic]:
