The Cenacle Address

So, this great comment comes here: '...it is the mundane that wears people down, there is so much time for the profane and no time for what is not profane.'

Something like that.

If you are a young child - or an old Russian lady - then you just go to the cathedral of Vasily the Blessed, in Moscow, and wow, you will surely get the feeling of some kind of amazing profound sacred affair.

Old ways...

You can pay a lot of money, and the tourist board will make sure that you have plenty of time to immerse yourself in this experience... ...which, as an older adult human being, you realize is still part of the mundane after all.

'The Cenacle Address' - coenaculum in Latin - means something that was said in the Bible, in the upper rooms. That's what coenaculum means: 'upper floor.' In the Bible, it was an enclosed upper room.

Whatever was said we don't fully know because the New Testament does not record completely what was actually said in there - and twice, in fact it does this: once at the 'last supper,' and then again fifty days after Jesus died and so on, when, according to the accounts, he appeared to over a hundred people in the upper room.

The only time you are ever going to get a truly 'hallowed' moment is in the enclosed upper room.

Now I'll tell you what you will experience - hopefully, silence, since you will have closed the doors and windows, and there's no one else in there. And then you will wait a bit, and your mind will wander around, or focus on some idea of 'the sacred.' And then...

...and then nothing. Nothing will happen.

Technically, what should happen, is that a 'great sound of wind' will be heard.

Alone, all by yourself, unless you have been prepared, nothing is going to happen. You can search all day and night long in books or on-line and you will find only a whole bunch of nonsense about 'church' and the beginnings of people assembling in this format, and other things about, I dunno, every dogmatic related matter.

If you go a little beyond the 'missing bits' in the New Testament narrative, you will find the immediate follow-up part about two or more people...

New ways...

But anyway, if we go back to the 'missing bit' - here it is, but first let's look at a clue within all the texts: immediately following the first upper room address, various religious scholars of the time, come and ask about marriage, and divorce, and what is expected in another context. And then of course are also to be found the words: 'Save yourself from this corrupt generation...' And 'these people are not drunk, it is only 9 in the morning!' (Or something like that).

Not much has changed. Well in fact nothing has changed. And that is as it should be, more or less.

Nothing has changed, this is what you need to know. The human race is like it always was.

People eat and drink and go about their daily lives - time filled with the profane - marry and are given in marriage. Indeed, time filled with the profane.

Native American Indians have somewhat similar rituals to do with invoking storms and lightning, so do the ancient Sanskrit shastras. So does the Scandinavian Edda.

On your own, a helluva storm will turn up, usually some time later. A good depiction of what is going on is in John Cassavetes 'The Tempest.'

When you are as old as we all are here, by now, you should be Prospero, or Prospera, already. 

Cassavetes says - 'Show me the magic.' Everyone else is scared when the thunder cracks. 

Why some time later only? The distance of time, between when you enact the Earth mind's silence, is the same approximate duration you will have to wait for anything you have called upon to happen, to happen. It is an indication of how far you are away from the Hallowed as you are stuck in this corrupt generation, forced to do corrupted things.

What happens when the mind is silent like this? 

The Hive Mind takes over. At some stage. If you have stilled your own thinking for long enough.

Our ways.

You can play around with all of these related ideas - the chakra stuff, various styles of 'calming music' (I searched for ages last night trying to find something appropriate for 'afternoon tea;' couldn't find anything I really wanted...) - and there are a few good ASMR channels these days that will make you feel good. That is back to the 'personal sensation' thing again, but fair enough, we're only human.

'Two or more of you' is already what the Hive Mind is doing.

Of course if you go to one of these Rave concerts, there is no silence there. Or is there?

It's the same thing in the sense of stilling the profane mind.

If you are a woman, and you 'see yourself' suddenly, inside more or less a Syd Mead palatial futuristic setting, with a handful of these brute hunk males around, around you, not to mention a good few other hot women - what are you going to do? What are you going to think? If your mind is charging around being stupid, you won't be able to hear what the others are interested in telling you. The standard, commonplace depiction of penetrative sex in modern pornography is an invasive, unconsented and rather arrogant 'political' standpoint for gatherings of two or more in a private, intimate, setting. Don't you think?

So what are you doing then, the 'two or more of you?' What are you going to be thinking together, and doing, together? Because there's two, and in fact, more than two, probably...

Funny book! Hah! 

I tried, seriously I tried, to find afternoon tea music. Didn't find any and it is absolutely clear that the Riwayat of modern-day Beethoven, the Qira'at of how the Moonlight Sonata is being played by 'experts' today is completely wrong; the time signature is being misread, even music scholars all acknowledge it. So, I'm not playing Valentina Lisitsa or Lola Astanova in her short skirts doing Beethoven.

What do the radical feminists (I agree with them, the real radical ones, by the way, not these stupid liberal 'modern' ones) say - 'doing femininity?' (Means practicing 'femininity' according to a 'patriarchal code') Listen, they all want to do femininity (in either sense) - but they just want to do it in the right surroundings and with the right support and absent of the one-sided gender politics. And that's fair enough. 

Never Jam Today?

There's this old adage about what underlies how propositions to invest are psychologically invited in the stock market:

'Jam yesterday, and jam tomorrow, but never jam today.'

Once again, the internet is kind of buzzing with another 'End of Time' rumor - this time with the idea that the world ends tomorrow. ...Based on some 're-calculation' of the Mayan Calendar.

Jam on the scone first though? Dunno.

Yeah okay. Whatever.

See you all again Sunday, right.

The advanced humanoid 'beings' are here. But where are they and how do we get to see them, speak with them, interact with them.

Maybe tomorrow, right. Perhaps tomorrow, we can get to meet some of them. With their space craft. And with their space craft, must be with those.

Today, we are just going to do 'tea with jam and cream.'

Do advanced aliens enjoy tea and scones and jam and cream?

Well, I know I do. How 'bout you?

This weekend I have to try and mess around with some Excel spreadsheets and also concoct a few paragraphs making it 'simple and easy' for two local city councils to understand why they are committing a million or more dollars into this project a few of us on various official sub-committees have been working on over the last year and a half.

In life, if you're doing something that is organized, there is a schedule. 

I don't like other people's schedules, but I generally like my own because I can manipulate things around in them if I want to change something. 

There are so many complexities to do with anything truly of an 'advanced' nature - especially when it comes to human beings; to people. If you're just a spectator then fine, nothing's all that complicated -, you just tag along and watch other people's efforts. But if you're in it, in something, part of something, then you don't just 'turn up on the day.'

Rose petal jam - that's a bit different!

David Wilcock, that blonde-haired guy who is on television every now and then talking about 'ancient aliens' and all of that, he was on somewhere this week talking about alien souls. See for me, there's your 'jam tomorrow' story. He's moving towards the 'it's metaphysical and when you die...' Icke did it, Wilcock is doing it. I'm not saying they're just rumor mongers, but... But they do only have bits and pieces of stuff.

...Not much different to any old religion really.

Sure there's your soul, If you're sentient then you have one of those.

We also have a mouth and we would like some tea and scones and jam and cream right now too, please.

Well, for me, I am having exactly that and I would suggest you do as well - hopefully you all have enough to pay for that yourselves of the minute. This year, we stick a few dollars into things though, okay. I mean, there's money coming in here.

When it comes to 'the soul,' I'm sure you know already so I don't need to say 'you will find' that there is what is in it, what constitutes the complete make-up of such a thing, and then, there is the vibratory frame-of-mind of the particular individual. People like to hang out with people of a similar or even more attractive frame-of-mind, but in all events, they have to share a similar scope of mind.

It's us, dude. Guys and gals. We are the solution, and we might be the only ones who make it out of here intact, or mostly intact...

We're not really alone. But, well, we have been prepared for what is coming.

The Yasir Qadhi Controversy

This week, all holy hell broke out in the world of Islamic religious scholarship, when a live-stream video discussion and interview, between the London orthodox proponent of Islamic scholarship, Mohammed Hijab, and Professor Sheikh Yasir Qazi (also known as Sheikh Yasir Qadhi), opened up the internal dialogues between learned Muslims that they have been keeping to themselves for a while.

Sheikh Yasir Qadhi

Yasir Qadhi was the Dean of Academic Affairs at the Al-Maghrib Institute, which is a huge worldwide Islamic educational institution with backing from heavy-weight oil money and Middle Eastern Arabic princes and so on. He is a Yale-educated academic with a long list of impressive and serious credentials - he is no 'Reza Aslan' light weight.

The problem that has been uncovered, is that of the so-called 'Ahruf and Qira'at' of the Quran.

Yasir Qadhi has just turned the world of Islam upside down with the open public admission - and to this minute no one is really sure that it ever was intended to have gone public or quite so public and 'viral' as it has done - ...with the admissions that 1. there are simply no 7th century Qurans at all, 2. there are no '7 recitation variations' either in copy form or even that there is really any indication from the times in question that there were any such '7' recitation styles in existence during or shortly after the time of 'Muhammad,' 3. there is no 'perfect complete version of the Quran' and there never has been, 4. the version widely used today dates from 1926 and is from a recitation style by a man more than 200 years after the death the Muhammad, and from an area of southern Baghdad nowhere near Mecca or Medina, and in a dialect NOT the one that the original Quran was meant to have been delivered to Muhammad in, 5. the Quran has absolutely zero 'perfect copies/versions' and that of the currently more than 30 versions, there are over 93,000 differences in them.

And that all 'deep scholars' of Islam have long known this and have kept it to themselves secretly.

And now, challenges are coming from Western academics as to whether there is even one single shred of evidence that any 'Muhammad' existed at all in the places, and at the times Muslims say.

It appears, as of the minute, that today's Quran was adopted by an agreement of Egyptian scholars in 1926, and as late as only 35 years ago, King Faad of Saudi Arabia decreed that the 'orthodox' qira'at was that of a certain person 'Hafs' - which has no real basis in the historical series of authentic 'transmissions, and for what reason (that he choose this one) no one knows, since Hafs was not even from Saudi Arabia and never spoke the Quraysh dialect, which is the one, by tradition 'Muhammad' claimed the Quran to have been sent down from heaven by Allah and from Allah, in.

In other words, despite modern Islamic claims that the Quran came down from heaven, unchanged, and perfectly preserved in every way by Allah - there is no such thing in existence and there never has been.

This is the 'actual' peacock throne of the Moghuls -
it's in Germany and not India, and has been preserved
by a private German museum... 

Right now, as of this week, there are at least 38 versions of the 'Quran' in existence - from as far apart as Morocco and Yemen, in different scripts - and none of them are the same as any other (one) of them. And of the earliest manuscripts, none of which is less than 200 years after the apparent historical death of Muhammad, none of them is 'complete' - IE a complete text of the Quran as it is to be found today.

Further, the claim that has been made for a long time that '93%' of the actual extant ancient texts are 'exactly the same' - is deceptive because these have only ever been to do with small fragments and not even any complete books. And scholars knew that but kept it secret.

The whole entire basis of Islam is 'the Quran.' And... and... ...there is no 'Quran.' 

In one case, on one page alone, there were seventeen different 'pastings over' and in other very early text versions nineteen additions of the word 'Allah' into the original text where it had never been written in the first place, and where there was no space for the word, and thereby radically altering the meaning of the sentences involving those alterations.

It seems that a particular caliph, Abdul Malik, is the principal person most responsible for having created the myth of 'Muhammad' and the 'religion' of Islam as it is known today.

There was something, of the nature of a literary idea of an 'honored man' ('Muhammad'), and a series of profound writings, in Arabic dating from around and from even before the theoretical historical date and location of today's 'Muhammad' -  and these have almost nothing to do with today's religion of 'Islam.'

It would be different if Yasir Qadhi was the only Islamic scholar who said these things - but he is one of many recently. And it appears that this week's interview was perhaps unintentionally made public when it was meant to have been private.

Right now there are hundreds, literally hundreds of Islamic proponents and commentators rushing and very desperately loudly, to post YouTube videos to counter the Yasir Qadhi interview. And in these videos they are all asserting things in this kind of form: 'the Quran says,' 'the hadith about the sole transmission of the Quran,' 'the Messenger of Allah says in the Quran...' 

Up in flames...

...There is no 'Quran.' These people are merely asserting things that have no reality. At this stage these people are unable to demonstrate a single fact of any kind from history at all, that 'the Quran' in the form they all seem to believe is something they have been 'given' ever even existed. Yes, there is the present book which comes from 1924, and yes there was 'a' version inclusive of one set of hadith narratives dating from the Caliphate of Abd al Malik in the 8th century - but even from then all the written or printed manuscripts following that date diverge in considerable ways. And yes there is one style of reciting it officially today - but that is in a dialect not even close to the one in which the Quran was said to have been originally rendered, and from a person and a place nowhere near Mecca, and it was officially 'sanctioned' only 35 years ago by King Faad of Saudi Arabia.

Islamic scholars blew themselves up this week. It is not going to stop people from holding untenable views; they do it all the time. It's what people do.

 

The Modern Psychosis And Dysfunction

'Psychosis,' (and let's face it, reading here recently you could be forgiven...) means someone is experiencing an enormous distortion within their brain processing, of the thoughts and emotions they are having, and in such a way that they have lost touch with reality and are 'seeing' things as 'there' which are not there. It doesn't mean necessarily that their senses only are distorted, since people of rational mind might be able to realize that certain sense impressions they are receiving are hallucinatory or perhaps being affected by drugs or alcohol, for instance.

What it really means is that their inner mind is delusional.

As a generality, society at large does not say that 2 billion Muslims are all delusional, for having believed in the word of someone who 'saw' a preternatural being come down from a star, to 'within two bow-lengths' and force him to 'recite' something he had never before in his whole natural life ever seen or read at all (in fact he was illiterate, according to the standard tradition). I mean unless we see the same thing with our own two eyes, it's 'a story' where the 'proof' is reliant on something other than the incidents themselves; technically, the 'proof' is meant to be the Quran - this is the 'miracle' which constitutes proof of the narrative. It's a weak argument but it happens to be the argument...

But then nor does society say that someone two thousand years ago who apparently voluntarily accepted his own torture and crucifixion was delusional and subsequently that so have been all how ever many billions who believed this other narrative ever since.

And that is because there are other rational supports to the basic import of those two stories and their entailed ideas and beliefs - and those beliefs are completely rational: a) taken to the extreme limit, altruism is the ultimate force for wider social 'good' (in the one philosophy), and b) God is so supremely powerful that mere humans must simply accept anything without question that a Sole, Unitary, Supreme Deity, might decide even out of whimsy, otherwise we run the risk potentially of 'eternal suffering.' So fear - especially fear of the unknown or even the unknowable mind of a largely unknowable god - is a rational concern; and Allah does rule by fear. So did Jehovah to some extent.

They are both rational positions, although in the case of the Christian ethic, there actually is no requirement for there to exist a 'Deity' at all for the underlying moral equation to still be rational - only that the proposition stands that extreme altruism is the ultimate moral force. It may not be, but this does not counter the fact that the thing is still a 'rational' position rather than a genuinely delusional one.

Yet there are still issues which remain unresolved when it comes to considering what the nature of the human species really is.

The human race as a broader social thing, is quite dysfunctional...

The question today could be asked, is the present obvious dysfunction seen in societies almost right across the whole globe, something new - or has the human race always been socially dysfunctional.

We have art, but we have Covid too, that's also art, right?

All the great religions come from the perspective that indeed, the human race is dysfunctional from some early time, so much so as to be requiring intervention by something outside of it and vastly superior in every way - IE something called, 'God.'

So does the dysfunction stem from delusion of some kind? Is the human race suffering a kind of psychosis?

Well, certainly it is!

Now here's a huge problem when it comes to some external agency attempting to 'fix' this psychosis simply by 'appearing' and 'teaching:' you see, it (the dysfunction) is inside the being, the problem lies inside the nature (of the human), and not, quite evidently it cannot be, a question of insufficient information and knowledge. Thus, presented with new and better information, the human being if it were still delusional inside, within its core structures and neural systems or at least processing and thinking parts, would disregard the accurate new information and 'rationalize' (albeit falsely) away from truth and reality, and back to the natural incline of its internal flawed mechanisms which always cause it to perceive things incorrectly in the first place.

So it's the internal mechanisms and even structure and other ambiguous features of the human that require to be changed. Not more and better information simply being imparted or delivered.

Today, the 'worry' is that Google distorts information and
suppresses things they don't like or don't agree with - but they're also
just plain not interested in things they perceive have no value or meaning.
They don't suppress those things at all - they're not even aware of them.

I am not going into why human beings naturally tend to perceive reality in a distorted fashion - not here, not right now. What I am going to say is that this is one very major reason that - were there to be some advanced alien humanoid people here, and prepared to engage with us, to interact with us 'fairly' (by which I mean not in an underhanded and surreptitious way disguising who they really are from us), at minimum they are going to look at who they are doing that with, which actual individual 'subjects' they are engaging with at all, and ascertaining that these are exceptions who are not as delusional and therefore as dysfunctional as the mass of the human population. 

Today it's very clear we are living in a completely delusional world - the same 'solutions' to the same problems that have been here since Cain killed Abel are being trotted out, with the exact same arguments being indulged in by the same 'two sides.' And this is, if not the definition of 'psychosis,' it certainly is the definition of madness, as you know. And at the same precise time, half a dozen or more sovereign nations are quite intent on committing people's lives in violent exercises to 'gain land and/or power.' Which has also been the normal status of things for ten thousand years.

The mindset is simply not available, to the ordinary normal human being, to think of, or to find, 'another way...'

Carl Sagan's answer to the Fermi Paradox fits into the basic pattern of human nature: namely that people get satisfaction from harming and killing... And if that pattern is true of all advanced intelligent species throughout the Universe than yes, it would tend to support the idea that eventually, they all destroy themselves. And Sagan posited that this 'might' be one reason we never saw any advanced aliens here or anywhere - they'd all killed themselves.

But Carl Sagan's proposition flies in the face of certain facts...

And my suggestion is that 'if' advanced intelligent beings are not going to kill you, then what else are they, or might they be, going to do to you?

My proposal to these beings is, don't do something to me, do something for me. How about that for a plan?

Do something for me. Let's run with that idea for a bit.

Kardashev Scale Implications

Russian astronomer Nikolai Kardashev, in 1964, proposed a scale of 'civilizations' throughout the Universe measured in terms of their practical access to the utilization of energy.

We on Earth, are still rated at 'K1.' We are still only just able to use the available energy of our sun, and perhaps not even all of it yet.

So, the next level up, is the 'K2' alien or Extraterrestrial civilizations - they would be the ones closest to ourselves, most perhaps recognizable by us, were we to meet representatives from those kinds of civilizations.

'K2' is also synthetic cannabinoid. 

It is also the designation of a Kepler Spacecraft mission, also known as 'Second Light.'

I'm telling you all these things so that you will be able to discern between various similar things that you are looking at - if you are ever in the situation where you are seeing them.

Because one of them will be hiding in there among the rest of them.

The 'festival pashmina' literally means 'rave music festival/EDC/EDM festival.' It's the only 'festival' they are talking about. Check it on-line, if you don't believe me. We are talking the high-quality, ethnic, and rather beautifully-made, cashmere and silk shawl things.

So-called 'festival pashmina.' Look it up if you
don't believe me.

Fragments of actual pashmina material have been discovered in archaeological digs of sites in Syria and Egypt from the second and seventh centuries CE. That's over 1900 years ago if you go by the earliest site. And there is plenty of written evidence that the material's existence as a manufactured item goes back a lot earlier still than that. It may be the thing Muhammad referred to as 'istabraq' which he says is to be found in one of the seven heavens...

What does a 'K2' civilization want with us?

Is there any evidence in our history that there has ever been some formal 'back in time data' incident or perhaps whole body of knowledge?

The most absolutely obvious two - and there are two of them that are very widely know - are the Apocalypse, and the Quran. Both of them have the explicit claim being made in them that they are literally announcements from a future time.

And this means there are competing interests involved.

Because whilst they contain VERY similar imagery about the future of our world and its civilization, they have vastly different stances about what is going on. And here is where I want to bring in the 'political hypothesis' approach.

...And, that's a pashmina shawl. Same same.

Because, you see, all of a sudden you do have a massively significant set of circumstances entailed, going on right under us, under our noses so to speak, and that are of simply massively vital import to us and to our lives.

You see a 'K2' civilization or higher would have no interest in worrying - themselves - about proving anything that would appear magical to us, would be apparently 'magical;' because it simply would not be magical to them. The fact that we, as a broad body of human society (not in isolated islands of difference, of course), had diverted ourselves into long-winded and wasteful and also very largely erroneous rivers of 'exploration' of 'skepticism' - we had at the same time avoided and failed to look scientifically at function.

I mean we would look completely stupid to these people and we would in fact be stupid in any case what's worse.

Newton discovered the square function of light outward from a source of energy. But no one ever inverse squared light back to the energy source and then past the 'zero' bound. I mean, hell boy, we're prepared to do the obvious of this when it comes to bond rates, right??! lol

Is energy a function of form, rather than of linearity? Does it mean that energy moves from the 'K2' of Platonic solids... oh, sorry, I failed to say that there was another 'K2' as well: the so-called 'quintessence' of the 5 Platonic solids (this is also called 'K2'). This is to do with the slip hypothesis of manifold space. See... ...you can only 'move' through manifold space but we don't have a complete functional understanding of actual manifold space yet - only theories and speculations about it. Theoretical physicists have proposed various ideas, but nobody has really woken up to the fact - and it is a fact - that if any of these hypotheses is right, then it means that we have been wasting a lot of time pretending folkloric, cultural, religious 'fantasies' were 'wrong' merely because they contained a lot of unscientific 'miraculous' and/or 'magical' events. No sooner would we have proven any one of the 'ultra' manifold space hypotheses than we would be confronted with the fact that so many seemingly scientifically 'impossible' events are in fact just ordinary - if, you could utilize energy at a higher than 'K1' level.

Which leaves us with the Fermi Paradox question, although I would be more inclined to call it the Surreptitious Paradox: why all the cloak-and-daggers? Why all the hiding?

I think the answer is psychological. I don't think the human race is anywhere near being able to handle it.

'Pony beads.'

What has changed in the political, social, moral approaches of leaders over five thousand years? Nothing. This week 3 Indian soldiers were killed by Chinese solders in Ladakh, and half a dozen Chinese soldiers were 'injured' in the same incident, according to official
Beijing statements. People in ivory towers, insist on using other people to die for them, to kill for them, to be killed for them, in order to assert the power and authority of the people in the ivory towers. They insist on it. After five, ten, who-knows-who-many thousand years, these 'leaders' still have no other tools.

So we are a civilization, at least in general terms, and broadly speaking, of 'arrested development.'

What would be the point of dropping a meteorite straight onto Beijing? It could be done...

That is, there would be no point if, we hypothesized a monolithic human race and 'world human' culture. ...But I don't. I think there are competing political interests DEEPLY EMBEDDED WITHIN the human race itself.

The human race is not monolithic at all.

There is good seed mixed in with bad seeds - or weeds.

What do you think? What's your view about it? If advanced beings - you can call them whatever you like - if they turned up, would you have them just tap you on the shoulder only and not much of anyone else? Would that be okay for you?

There is no possibility whatsoever that Jesus is coming with millions of 'angels' to all of a sudden 'prove' by dint of mass force, what by dint of mass force He has since forever repudiated being done by humans against other humans.

But He might do stuff very very surreptitiously indeed. And the overall thing might take a good long long time yet.

What do you think?

So we might just do or cause to be done a little tiny something for ourselves though, right. Just for us. Like, pretty much right now. Not in any 'good long long time yet to come!'
