Before The Firestorm

A good wrap of the Federal Reserve's Chairman Jerome Powell's testimony to Congress last week is available here:

Appreciation goes out to one of our friends here - TaoOfJonze - who reminded me just the other day, of that scene in that milestone movie Apocalypse Now, in which Martin Sheen's character, Captain Willard, is in a trench with some other soldiers, and he asks them all 'who is in command here?'

One guy goes: 'Ain't you?'

And then of course you get the dramatic depiction of another soldier, roused from sleep while the fighting is actually going on, who lets off a High Explosive M79 grenade launcher round, killing the enemy out in the darkness -, who is then directly asked by Captain Willard: 'Hey soldier, do you know who's in command here?' To which that soldier sardonically responds 'Yeah!'

This is from the Burning Man festival - pure Satanic
ritual...

And to a very large extent that is really the modern world context put into a nutshell right there.

Apocalypse Now is a very great movie in so many ways but it has no capacity whatsoever to provide answers. In the end, Coppola gives us the standard 'there is sufficient nobility within man' (in this case within the character of Captain Willard, who does not stay on to take over from Kurtz after he assassinates him per the command of his generals).

So the reality is we're left with having to acknowledge that Mankind can get itself into a complete mess in which there is no clear-cut understanding of who, or even what is the governing principal which is in command - but also having to live on, hopeful that some inner light will struggle to cast a small light out at some point.

'Apocalypse' means to unveil, and to reveal.

The movie revealed a darkness inside the heart of some men...

Changing the energy - going into the deep freeze...

...Unable to be resolved apart from terminal violence, in other words, murder and an abjectness of suffering which is complete madness.

I have been somewhat struggling right here on these pages to explain to all readers, that there are some amazing positive things going on behind the scenes - to do with the Middle East Silver Fund that we have started. And these advances will financially benefit everyone here, necessarily it may be in modest ways first as we start and expand the scope of the digital token step by laborious step.  

And what I mean by 'struggling to explain' is not about the money side, the capital side, the performance side - that is just numbers over time. It is about what it even means to attain a wealth benefit today.

Apocalypse Now gives you the sound and true knowledge that inside the heart of man is where the battle is also fought.

You can make any amount of money you care to name, but without the inner game, where do you get your fulfillment from, your sense of achievement, attainment?

What is the goal that any of us is seeking to attain?

For those of us who have had big money in the past, the last thing the answer can be, is the same mansion, or car that everyone else who is 'wealthy' has.

And there's your problem if you are someone who is into these 'motivation'/'law of attraction' ideas... Well, at least I'm saying it is a problem. Because everyone else's mansion is what got us into this mess in the first place. If you 'envision' what is driving everyone else's idea of wealth, you will eventually attain to their lifestyles, to their function in the world. In other words, you will have become Kurtz (Marlon Brando's character).

And so, this is my absolute outright explanation of what you will likely see and read over coming articles here: I am going to swing it away from what is your typical 'vision' of material wealth (and I will mainly stick to the material side of things; I don't think that's a conflicted position - the material is a reflection of the conceptual), and introduce counterpoint arguments, as it were, to what is commonly regarded as a lifestyle of material wealth.

And I will guarantee you this - you follow what I'm saying and you will attain real material wealth. But it will be on the new horizon, not on the horizon that is already starting to drift into the past, into history.

Asteroids And Guide Star Lasers

Kim P., - you will appreciate this personally, but others here will as well, I feel certain.

...But anyway this is really important.

We all know that things have probably gone a bit 'touchy' right now with the removal of Le Mesurier off the Syria map... ...So soon after Al Baghdadi got actually 'taken out.' We've talked about Le Mesurier and the 'White Helmets' here before, and expressly in connection with Jimmy Khashoggi. Decks are being shuffled, cards are being re-ordered - there are bound to be urgent re-assessments of alignments.

But let's say you - I mean you, the person reading here who is not working for any particular side and is just interested in sound accurate insider knowledge and maybe making a few bucks on the way through - you don't want to be dragged deeply into anything er, 'difficult.'

It isn't that I am ever going to conceal the downsides at all - I will certainly still point those risks out if I see them, if I know of them. On that aspect then, right now, the risks are that many Western governments and economies have blindly stepped into a trap the Chinese communists have been carefully laying for quite some time. 

Now. Now, though... Listen. Even though I don't believe any Western government can solve any of these specific 'risks' - we're not going to get into all that much trouble in the end. And that is because:

...Right. So. A 'guide star laser' is this technology they have on sophisticated big modern telescopes. And what these things do is fire some lasers up at the higher atmosphere, where they bounce off particles which glow and then produce artificial fixed 'stars' which are used by the telescope's computers to refer to, to track moving objects outside of the Earth's atmosphere.

And since two days ago, there have been these quite large asteroids (called 'NEO's') moving in fast and getting pretty close to the planet. There are a lot of these objects coming right now and when they pass either into our atmosphere or very close by or, if unfortunately they hit the planet - well at least NASA claims to know exactly where they are going to hit and destroy places. 

Now I do think there is about to be more and more press about all of this. And there already has been a noticeable but distant beat of drums, let's say.

If such an object really enters the atmosphere you will get this huge curtain of electrical storms and lightning. And then a catastrophic impact that could set off underlying tectonic fault issues.

But now here's the thing I want everyone to listen closely to and take 'on-board' as best they can: 'some things are beams to guide you home and not flashing swords to destroy you.'

Let's say nothing at all happens.... Incorrect! It has already started happening, it is happening. The idea, which is expressed in image form as this huge lightning strike across the sky from horizon to horizon is A BEAM TO GUIDE YOU HOME. It's the idea that counts, my friends.

Now if I tell you exactly why there has been all of this background murmuring over oh, ten/fifteen years, about some possible coming asteroid impact - and you all do already know that EVERYTHING in the media, in the press, is there because it is placed there and allowed there - it would only make things worse and really increase your levels of doubt (AND fear AND anxiety!)... But yes, there are people in the military and in government right now who think it is possible, nay, likely.

What YOU need to know and understand inside your gut, is that A MASSIVE POWERFUL STRONG LIGHT is sometimes just a beam to guide you home.

Could an asteroid impact kill off millions though? Yes it sure could too.

Believe me though, if I were able to be explicit and direct to you - which I would be if I were standing in front of you rather than posting on a very small but nonetheless still public board and blog - I would still say to you that it is by far the 'idea' and the 'guide beam' in this that is vastly more significant than all of the 'death and destruction' stuff that people over-indulge in too often. I mean let's face it, there has been death and destruction on this Earth since forever. Babylon, the 'tower of Babel' (wherever that even was), Cyrus the Great, the Romans, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot... 

Bad physical material things are distracting. Great teachings give you power. Focus. Concentrate, on the things you want that will give you the power that you can use wisely.

For We Who Are Rooted In This Earth

The human being is physically rooted to the Earth - we are reliant on nitrogen-fed plant and animal sources for food; otherwise, we die. 

And so while we are existing as human beings, and not as some self-conscious entity embodying a positive ion-flow electronic network structure inside a solid state android 'being' - then we are stuck here! Rooted in this Earth!

We cannot really 'fly' anywhere; at least not too far away anywhere.

Sure we fly - then we land.

So what's the problem though? If you Google-search 'Utopia' what you will get are endless pages of images and discussion... ...on Dystopia.

Hollywood movies, that are presented as futurist visions of the future - all end up turning on the Dystopian hinge. 

This is a real place - this is in Estonia; not fully completed yet.

Mega corporations = bad, evil supreme leaders are twisted females and bad, or venal males and equally bad, and robots and AI are uncontrollable, treacherous and bad; in short, everything... ...bad. 

And we pay our expensive ticket prices (these days they are very expensive) and leave the cinema happy. Right?

Because everything was bad, and this confirms our suspicions... ...about everything. There is no hope. There's just good-looking starlets taunting us and amazing technology we will never really have ourselves personally because it will be controlled by the overlords and be too expensive for us lowly lowly little human beings to have under our own individual personal control.

So - no Utopia; only Dystopia.

And behind it all, the vague notion of an ultimate Evil, perhaps even an actual supreme individual intelligent being that is far superior to us in power and knowledge and access to the underlying structure of the material Universe. Satan. 

Syd Mead is the only actual 'Utopian futurist' visionary
that I'm aware of.

God is weak, and Satan is powerful. What even is a proper, a complete and intellectually-satisfying definition either for God or the Devil we don't know - but the take-away is that God = ineffectual/Satan = powerful especially over we lowly lowly humans.

All right, you've never heard this before: Satan cannot reach 'heaven,' Satan will never 'see' God, has never seen God. Satan is consigned to eternal damnation, even utter extermination... Although, this is NOT what the ancient texts actually say. They say there is, was, thus likely may always be, a form of salvation for the Devil. He was to bow down and worship Man.

...A dangerous and difficult proposition. 

There's responsibility involved, as well as the unlikeliness of forgiveness coming from Mankind. For one thing, I have never seen an arrogant, evil tyrant seek forgiveness from those they oppressed - have you?

See one problem with Freemasonry is its claim that certain of its writings and ideas and beliefs are 'esoteric.' 'Esoteric' actually means something quite a bit different to the Wiki definitions... It means 'from what can save,' not 'from further within;' that would be Eis- eterios. The word is 'e-soter-ic.'

And there is only one savior for Christians and that is Christ.

Same actual architect as the Estonian train station, however
only her firm 'lives on' because she passed away 2015.

The Quran, which has a lot of poorly-comprehended occult knowledge in it, has references to someone 'Uzair' that the Hebrews apparently held to be 'the son of God' and whom they actually worshiped. I mean basically most of the people writing commentaries and even the traditional scholars have no clue about what this refers to. The commentaries are all wrong. 'Uzair' is the name written on the Saqqara stone chests and means 'Osiris.' 'Sarapeum' does not mean 'sarcophagi of the Apis bulls,' but it is a composition of 'Osiris' and 'Poseidon.' The inscriptions were made long after the cabinets were built and written in a more common 'modern' language, drawing from the culture and names and words of the contemporary age (of the inscriptions).

An 'Uzaira' is like a labyrinth-garden in which there is a 'portal' somewhere that leads to some unearthly realm, and at that ancient time, it was mostly used to teleport (well, that's the texts' concept) beings to and from wherever Poseidon was. Hence: 'Atlantis was built by the Sons of Poseidon.' (Plato).

Bulls - Apis bulls, or Spanish fighting bulls, or any bulls - are more physically powerful than we lowly humans, and they can leap bloody high; higher than you might think given their weight. They're damn dangerous and they can 'rage' violently and murderously.

We are just lowly lowly humans.

Nobody created 'Satan.' God did not 'create' Satan as a being. And Satan never was an 'angel.' Satan is a changing chimera of a primordial and super-powerful 'Titanic' order of 'thing' which is 'monumentalized' somewhere near the Great Pyramid, though as yet undiscovered in the modern era. It is a mirage entity that shifts from the 'many-headed snakes' of a Medusa-like figure, to the raging bull figure that personifies drives inside people to give reign to mindless intense anger and violence. 'Satan' is - as described by the Quran - a kind of a heat-mirage; or as the Christian Koine Greek-original texts say, 'metaschematizo.'

It is a disguise ON TOP of, OVER, something else much less 'big' in substance. But it is nonetheless powerful because it is a primal psychological potential. It gives a form to a thing that is inconsistent with the inner reality of what that thing is supposed to be. It is inevitably transient. All primal psychological force potentials are supposed to be subservient to the overall mind of man: place the lion appetite in charge and you are harmed through addiction, place the snake-headed fears in charge and you will go insane, place the bull in charge and you will become irrational and permanently angry - like Hitler.

'Satan' is the 'smokeless fire' which shifts like a mirage across all of the primordial psychological force drivers.

Humans 'create' or at least develop 'Satan' as a being because some of them embody shifting mirages across their psychological force drivers into themselves as the dominant personality characteristic.

Satan and demons are subservient to Man... Or they should be.

And this is certainly not something 'they will tell you' (LOL) in The Secret or The Law of Attraction.

I mean did Solomon consort with demons...? Or did he bind them and compel them. Yet of course they are not easily bound or compelled, that's certain enough. Because these are Tiitanic forces.

One Troil In A Million

LOL

You probably saw Krystal Ball, the one-time Democrat nominee for a Virginia Congressional seat (the Virginia 1st congressional district), on the television in the last few days saying a few words in support of Katie Hill and, in theory at least, anyone else who could be politically damaged by the 'spreading of pics and/or vids all over the net...' 

We all realize that political 'sides,' especially these days, more or less always rush to support only their side, regardless of the genuine hypocrisy of some particular loudly-trumpeted 'sin' and the fact that it ought to be the case that social and political hypocrisies are called out for what they are: acts of universal public hypocrisy.

Have fun with with, Pieczenik!

Of course, as I said previously, I don't believe the word 'troilism' that Steve Pieczenik and others have been using to describe the Katie Hill saga is really the right word unless you really believe they fully understood that it does NOT mean a threesome, but a scheme to show and expose the infidelity of someone's partner especially for political ends. Well in fact Hill is actually divorced and the thing going on in the pics and videos were with her current boyfriend and another (female) person, and she - Hill - had been 'out' for some time. This is not exactly a situation similar to the historical 'Troilus' from which the word that Dr Pieczenik seems to be using, is drawn, in any case.

So yeah; it isn't really the right word. But it is a fun word!

Hehehe. So let's just keep going down that path and see where it leads... ...in my hands.

Well you see, to me, the modern media is way beyond just simple social hypocrisy. They are not entitled to carry on as if there never was a Bloomsbury Set, and before that the English Romantics (the Shelleys and Byron and all of them) swapping partners and openly cavorting among each other with absolute abandon.

Are they - the media - perhaps simply socially illiterate? And ignorant of what does actually go on among the idle rich classes? I mean we don't need to go into the sexual mores of the poorer classes - it isn't interesting. I find the media strikes me now (IE 'now' meaning today's media people) as extraordinarily middle class and parvenu.

Means little without the quality of people in the seats,
when the lights dim - because they do dim, when the flambe arrives.

Now I don't mean to be directing attention at specific people here in what I'm going to say - but I must render some glimpse at least of the lifestyles involved, and it is inevitable that some kind of example is given...

Is it a secret that the late Karl Lagerfeld may have had a very long long long-term relationship with some notable European aristocrat? I don't think it's that much of a secret. People 'in the outer' thought he was gay, of course...

I didn't think he was gay.

You know if you are one of these new rich from Silicon Valley or even Beverly Hills from Hollywood money, you go to these 'transpersonal meditation spas...' You know, to transpersonalize.

But if you are from the - as the Times of London just put it quite neatly, when attempting to describe Boris Johnson - vaguely Bohemian strata, well there are places you can go where there are only very wonderful people and some of them are not even from this world.

You think not?

Sharon den Adel. Opera singer. Neoclassical trance singer now.

The video I'm showing you here is the work of a group of classically-trained musicians, and the singer is a classically-trained operatic voice. And the two pics of different singers in the same 'modern musical genre' are both classically-trained opera singers - who have moved more or less permanently into the performing circuit of a very particular kind of musical style. This circuit plays from small acoustic music auditoriums, to really major amphitheaters and concert halls, and among the musical cognoscenti the movement is called 'the neoclassical dark wave.'

Justine Suissa - she's in the music video clip below.

But what you will not 'see' from most of the official publicity videos shot, is that the musicians and singers are, um if not exactly old, then they are a lot more mature in age than the general public that listens to their work for the most part, realizes. I mean Hans Zimmer is 62 and Lisa Gerrard is 58.

Some of the people you will see in this 'vogue' do look quite mature on stage, but some of them really don't look a day over 30. And those are the ones you need to take a second look at...

Transpersonal psychology is this sub-field or 'school' of psychology that integrates the spiritual and transcendent aspects of the human experience with the framework of modern psychology. (I got that sentence and description out of Wikipedia!).

But we're in the space age now. The people I'm talking about go into space, and integrate whatever they want into whatever they like.

And don't think I'm unable to make you the 'one in a million' that gets to glimpse into that world, or to even go there. You see... ...Katie Hill is not Mary Shelley.

Mary Shelley is Mary Shelley. And what's more there was a Mary Shelley and she was perfectly real, d'you see... Now. To be a 'Mary Shelley,' I mean to actually be one, you are doing a whole hell of a lot more than just 'transpersonal psychology.' 

Oh ye of little faith, my friends. It is what it is. And I told you openly, but you didn't believe it, did you? Not yet, anyway. Oh, but you will.

It's important you understand this: 'transpersonal psychology' IS a legitimate academic sub-field of psychology. And it IS the way that places like Imperial College are moving into the area of so-called 'strong AI' and from thence attempting to 'make things' and commercialize new developments via big computing corporates such as IBM.

And soon, they are going to make claims far beyond anything I just said...

Which one of us do you think is telling you the truth? Which one of us even knows, the truth?

'Troilism,' Pieczenik?

In one of his very recent YouTube videos, Dr Steve Pieczenik puts out his view about the Katie Hill escapades - with the throw-away observation that as someone who was raised in Europe, he is well-aware of the private, adult behaviors of European people (you know, that they get up to these kinds of antics); and he mentions 'troilism' as the type of thing Hill was involved in.

Well, I think he probably means the French thing 'Troislisme.'  Which is pronounced 'trehwa-lees'm,' and not 'troy-lism,' as Pieczenik keeps saying.

Troilus was a character - a very young man - in Homer's Iliad, who was murdered quite inexcusably by Achilles. There is some vague reference somewhere in literature about inconsolable loss being akin to the loss the family of Troilus felt when he was killed. 

Glittering magical mysteries in the dark...

The Shakespeare play 'Troilus and Cressida' is not at all well-understood even by the highest Oxford scholars, fundamentally because even the ancient Greek story is 'obscured' deliberately to kept its lessons from being understood by those not considered 'initiated...' In other words, it forms part of the 'Mystery religion' cult rites, sometimes also called 'the Rites of Orpheus' or the Eleusinian Mysteries. The Eleusinian Mysteries have their place in the Christian Gospel incident of the demons being allowed to enter into a herd of pigs - that then rushed headlong over a cliff and into the raging sea and rocks beneath.

Last week's resignation of Representative Katie Hill is capable of being termed 'Troi-lism' on account of the fact that her husband did watch her participate in some amatory carryings-on with another young woman (Troilus was forced by Ulysses to watch his betrothed Cressida flirt with Diomedes). However Dr Pieczenik never explains that this is what he means by employing the term: on the other hand I believe he is slightly misleading in that he mentions European 'Menage a trois' (three people in one romantic relationship), and appears to conjoin the two ideas. But let's anyway grant that his main point was not concerned with what the thing occurring actually was, or what the term for it ought to be - but that Hill was compromised more by the goings-on happening on government time, and perhaps also 'with government employees.'

That's the world's greatest modern living fashion designer,
on the left there - the French Julien Fournie.
I give you gold, don't I, Pieczenik? Even you, get the gold, from le moi, my friend.

'Troislisme' is simply just three lovers being involved together with full knowledge of each of them; it contains no undercurrent of misadventure or corrupt purpose in terms of 'leverage,' let's say (IE Achilles was forced - or tricked/seduced - into the war by his own ego being challenged by Troilus; Troilus is a noble figure in the story). 

But the story of 'Troilus' cannot be understand except only by the most highly enlightened on some fairly 'dark and obscure spiritual understandings...'

You see - Diomedes never died. He was 'favored,' to put it mildly, by Athena, and eventually in the Homeric narrative, attains Mount Olympus where he lives eternally. So it could not have been that Cressida did wrong when flirting with a divine being. Regardless of that she had an Earthly lover. And therefore both Achilles AND Troilus had jumped to incorrect conclusions. 

Fournie's work - on the actress Audrey Fleurot;
his 'usual' catwalk girls are rubbish - you need to see his
work on, or with, actual clients. It's brilliant.

'Jumping to incorrect conclusions' is partly the 'moral of the story' but as far as the Eleusinian Mystery part - well, I'm not going to tell you because it is a 'mystery' but all the Oxford scholars slander the truth by always saying 'the experiences (of the Mysteries) came from psychedelic drugs.' What 'psychedelic drugs?!' 

In fact there is so much nonsense written even in esteemed academic literature about the Eleusinian Mysteries that one wonders why they are so intent on deceiving - and frankly, to me it has the feel not so much of deceiving but innue that they don't really know, and so they are lying to feign as if they do know. 

I mean one could hardly be more obvious about it when they insist in translating Telesterion as 'Hall of Initiation' or 'Completion!!' I mean the word obviously, to any Greek speaker means a place of transporting to some far distant place - like a portal or in our modern era an airport. Literally it means 'to carry you far way.' What TF has that got to do with 'initiation?'

And there's never been any discoveries about any kind of psychotropic substance in the 'kalathos' and the idea that pennyroyal (which has been found in these lidded baskets) has psychedelic effects is laughable. 

No. The Eleusianian Mysteries are about transport to another 'world' and the rites were passed on to high-born young women (Parthenoia) so that they could protect themselves by knowing how to incapacitate people who conspired against them, but also to assist in the physical 'birthing' of spirit beings of particular types during ordinary childbirth, and how to transport that person during death: 'Eileithyia' being the patroness of the Eleusianian Mysteries. And 'mystery' in any case, coming from the pre-Egyptian, likely Sumerian 'Mes' which are similar to the Golden Sutras idea in the Vedas, being the several dozen 'words of power' that were benefactions to the human race when it was first installed in the planet.  

The German poet Schiller was an initiate. 

And here is a modern German band called 'Schiller' whose music is put to the lyrics derived from some of the poet Schiller's work, and re-created in a modern idiom by Xavier Naidoo - and whose work is instructive in the way that all great art is:

'Sehnsucht' means a great longing.
