The Contrast In Our Modern Life

Shortly, here - and I don't really know how to say this properly but - you will see a few things posted up to do with what has being going on 'under the radar' so to speak, with what a couple of us here have been up to on the much more materialistic front than what we mostly talk about on these pages in recent times.

I've been promising every now and then that I will (eventually) put together a fully up-dated on-going ledger of the 'Digital Dirhams.' By that I mean posted somewhere confidential. The ledger has always existed from the beginning.

And I already know what is ahead up the turn-pike here and it will eventually be completely astonishing and likely to be far in excess of what you ever would have dreamed even possible... Which is not to say that any time soon you will be able to see things in that exact light at all because I am keeping it all very hidden and in the dark. You will realize why in the end.

At that point you will be left in the position of really not caring whether a space ship(!) comes down very obviously and 'saves you' or not, my friends, because the question will be moot.

For this is where we are at in reality, not that I have given you reason to know it yet.

My friend John McAfee is not with us any more.

Some of you already know that my internet handle somewhere on a private finance discussion site begins with the name 'Calvin' and this is at least a small clue to something.

There is another 'Calvin' somewhere who is quite well known (who is not me), and was an acquaintance of McAfee and like me, suggested to John that he go down to Antigua and Barbuda where that particular Calvin lives. That never happened though and McAfee ended up who-knows-how. 

I don't know Carl Lewis personally and he is not connected to any of this, but -.

I mention these people because they all have grey hair, although they are a lot younger than me and I hope you noticed the spelling used there...

This 'Calvin' is not me.
This Calvin is older looking and
has grey hair.
But other than that...

Like the other person from Ancient Tarshish, Cherilyn Sarkisian, I do not expect to have natural grey hair until maybe well into my seventies.

Now it may be that by far the majority of people here will not understand the 'stylometric analysis' clues being given out or what any of these matters have to do with absolutely anything at all right now but that doesn't matter - not right now anyway.

What does matter is that we all realize that most people in the world do not have things easy. 

You do not have things easy, I do not necessarily have things easy but we have tools and tactics and sometimes maybe even outside help - at least in my case I do. 

There are many many people who have little or no help from anyone, and virtually no tools available to them. And then of course too, there are children thrown into the mix with human life and in the end everyone suffers a very great deal.

This world is mainly a world of suffering.

You are going to be left absolutely and utterly astonished in the end, by the situation you will find yourself in, mainly because of your having returned to this site regularly enough - because you will be 'given' things that no one else will have.

And this is not where I live.

And yes these will be materialistic things.

And the world might be going down in flames all around you. What will you tell others around you? They will not believe you.

All you can do is maintain the intellectual and moral stance at all times that it is better to want to help people, it is better not to judge them, those you don't know very well at least -, any of them who ask for help or obviously need it, and better to always keep an open mind as much as you reasonably can.

...We may be going towards more materialistic themes in these pages over the coming short while.

I don't know. Depends. 

Materialism manifested is only potentially one of the side-effects of highly supportive intellectual non-material mindsets. You already know that.

Still it's worth saying over and over.

I really like the phrase 'nothing's over till it's over.' It takes the pressure off me anyway in my own mind.

Because if you do get pushed into doing things too fast you can make mistakes.

I am only human.

Entering The Fast Spaces Of The Universe

Wa?

What does that mean?

...If you go to some ancient place like an ancient temple, sometimes you will encounter a difference in your sensation of time.

A human being experiences what he thinks is the 'now' with his brain memory only. 

Once someone transcends the human condition correctly, they are not a human being as such any more and cease experiencing this restricted perception of time that humans all experience and suffer from the experience of.

Well this was a very odd image
and the pace of the movie too fast.
But it still is a pretty decent 
entertainment with an odd
undercurrent about it.

Because the natural spirit that is in a living human body tends towards an unlimited kind of being, it will sense this restrictiveness and try to overcome it - which it cannot do though, on its own, because it is not actually an unlimited being.

And this is why it needs to go to 'temples' - which are places that belong to other types of beings, and are able to temporarily accommodate such beings' actual literal presence.

However, as Plato observed, rarely is it the case that human people build authentic temples in which there are real gods present. They construct 'superhuman scale' buildings in which they install oversize sculptures of figures in order to impress upon the mind not simply the idea of, but the sensation of, a deity; which comes to the brain from its perception of something larger than life, as it were. 

The Universe is a most peculiar place, not at all like what NASA thinks it to be.

Out there in space there are regions which have different things going on than our present ideas of physics allow for.

Down here on the Earth, you can go to certain places where the gods really are, and where you can see them as they really are...

Passage of time is important to humans because they live in it - that is their medium of existence, like fish in water. The sensing of the passage of time depends on many things going on inside the brain; we interpret moments, we feel that life is going too slowly, or then again at times, too fast.

Olfactory scientists know, for instance, that the human brain's sensing of the passage of time can be altered with the sense of smell, of all things.

These are just basic sensory matters that give information to the brain which interprets them.

But in all events it is necessary for you to know that when you are using only your basic material brain, you can generally only perceive what the slow senses tell you, and what then your brain's memory cells repeat to you, often in their own interpretive way.

Sometimes logic tells you that there are other things going on of which you should be more aware though.

'...to go to temples where the gods really are,
and to see them as they truly are.'

One of these things is to note that there are differences between people...

Some of the differences come from 'charisma.' And when those certain individuals walk half-way across the street and use their own ordinary human abilities to try and meet with their gifts, then you have very special kinds of people.

You may not have been given a 'gift' of the kind that some Hollywood celebrity was given.

And this does not mean that you cannot walk half-way across the street to meet the deity who would give you something, if you knew it were really there.

Let's say that you walked half-way across that street and saw nothing on the other side.

And then you blinked and saw something flash right across your vision.

We love to drag the gods into our human world, and to force their 'now' (which contains all things) to be present in our now, albeit only with the things that we want to have for our pleasure. 

'To see the gods as they really are...'

Nothing wrong with that. But it's just not how you go about getting those things in the first place though. To actually get them and keep hold of them you must step up into the fast spaces of the Cosmos, and see all that is there before you reach out to take what you will only then come to understand are those things that you really want, and in the order that you should have them.

And it is very confronting in fact, to see the gods as they really are, because you will learn what they are and what they do and why they do them - and it will mean abandoning the frame-works given to you by governments, and academics, and organised institutional religions and all others who comprise merely the broken bits and pieces of what is thrown to the floor in the small and limited space of the human 'now.'

You're The Millionaires

Sometimes it's like yeah yeah yeah, so-and-so is super wealthy...

I saw this guy driving up the tiny 'rich shopper's lane-way' in the city here today - in a weird-colored new Lamborghini. He was maybe thirty-seven, sporting modern highly groomed short hair.

He gunned the engine down the fifty yards of lane-way to make sure everyone knew he was there - and it made that silly clattering sound they all do, with their ceramic-lined pistons. There was a girl in the passenger's side.

You'd hope no empty-headed
butterfly would own one of these!

This coming February we will be joining up with a local city council's events also being run in a lane-way somewhere in a super-wealthy suburb.

And you will be part of it because there, we will be doing some of the Autism Project stuff and there will be photo-ops although I doubt that I will choose to step into a frame. Might stick a hand or a leg into one... ...maybe.

There have been some extraordinarily generous contributions from some of you throughout the past year and you will be able to see at least in part on what this all goes. The other fact is, basic 'interest' and keeping in touch and paying attention is a great part these days, of what makes anything 'work,' because you always need a level of engagement, especially on-line. It's not always about money, and not everyone is always in any position to spend cash in a world in which it does seem that everyone is perpetually seeking money.

And you're in with celebrities because there will be people like JES and others supporting it.

The community at large around the whole globe - and that includes government people too - have little to exactly no real idea what Autism is all about in practical reality: they 'might' have some radically incorrect impressions garnered from Hollywood movies and media poor reporting.

I am always trying to be conscious of finding ways to engage the ordinary community into a better understanding of the real Autism context - especially as it impacts on parents, carers, and teachers who have to deal with this extreme edge of the human psychology spectrum.

I am also increasingly conscious in recent days of not inflaming people who read stuff here(!), to go out and just splurge on cool things! LOL Sorry. But I don't want you to get obsessed like Autistic people often can get.

This thing - well you can make 
electricity as well as your coffee
just from burning things in it.

Originally I was posting pics of cool stuff because, well -, they're cool.

And now I'm thinking 'Oh god, what if people have those images in their minds and they're tossing and turning thinking about ways to go out and get the stuff they have seen here.?'

I myself spent countless hours this week thinking about an emergency portable crank-handle and solar cell-powered radio in case there is a sudden snow bomb down here...

It is going to be over forty degrees Celsius here next week.

So maybe I can wait another few days or so.

LOL

What's the 'dividend' on a handful of parents and carers of Autistic kids suddenly seeing and having gameful things that their kids will be able to do?

Well I tell you what. I will ask the glamorous people 1. in their Lamborghinis about it, and then 2. the ultra-glamorous people in their space ships what they think.

One of them will surely give you a ride in their machine...

You know it's obviously quite funny for me - people who walk around the place at these shows see us as one thing... ...and we are something way outside of even their wildest imaginings!!

If you want to know what the ET Aliens think, stick your absolute best headphones on and sit back in your favorite armchair with your eyes closed and listen:

Snow Bomb - The Lessons

So categorically, you were all told right here, that the whole entire world of 'sci-entists' would not warn anyone and no one would be ready, for catastrophic weather events - specifically like the one that is occurring in the North East of the United States and in Canada as well right now.

Fundamentally, the attention span of the modern human being is not very long. They cannot see anywhere even close to more than a few weeks forward or backward.

Looks good. Might help a bit.
Not for longer than 72 hours or so
though.

Even some here, will fail to remember what was said here not that long ago about this event, which was certain.

But in any case, the other important point is that any of these disasters, be they entirely man-made or natural ('natural' lol) - can only be 'survived' for a fairly short time after which it becomes necessary that people are able to access the services, the provisions of food and energy and every thing else required for life, that are there in normal times.

So you cannot realistically hope to 'survive' a nuclear disaster or tragedy event if you are anywhere near to it.

And the same indications that an aware mind can read, about say this 'snow bomb,' are available right now in terms of governments and ruling systems. These are all nothing but absolute and utter 'catastrophes waiting to happen;' this is plainly obvious.

We do not as yet reside on a planet where it is abundantly clear that there is any 'take-off' possibility, or eventuality, despite that this is explicitly stated in things like ancient religious texts such as the Bible. Nevertheless, we certainly do not have the clear-cut factual knowledge on a widespread basis to the effect that there really are 'flying vehicles' inside of which there is sentience and ways for people to 'escape' anything down here on the Earth.

Maybe one day Elon or someone like him will have space platforms on which people can live for lengthy periods, but right now this is all just science fiction.

Okay it is not science fiction for me but then I know what the 'Mark of the Beast' is all about. 

And I am about to tell it to you. Now, you know, that the only person who really knows what that means is the person who wrote it!

Helpful if you could find
these things just lying around 
waiting for you, at the right moments.

LOL

Anyway...

The 'Beast' is the 'Mad Dog' Constellation the Romans knew as Lupus the Wolf, and the Greeks knew as Lycaon the first Werewolf. 

The 'Beast' is also Alexander the Great, since explicitly in proceeding passages the explanation is that this is a being arising out of the ground (or the earth, as opposed to one from the sea: the Atlantis Civilization), who has two horns like a lamb. In the Arabic Islamic texts this is Dhul Qarnayn ('Two-Horned').

Alexander had all those under him that he controlled brand their horses with a mark like an ox's head - and it was on their flanks and also on their rains and sometimes in the middle of their heads - which was figuratively the symbol of his own horse Bucephalus; and also symbolically the 'horse' meaning his carriage of power - his Empire. We have the same terminology today in the military: the so-and-so horse (meaning cavalry/troops/brigades/soldiers under someone's command).

In ancient Greece and Rome horses were branded with either of the Greek letter 'M,' or 'San' or 'Q.' ...Or the Ox's Head of Alexander. The Ox's Head looked like three sixes rotating together, one facing towards another one and two facing the opposite way.

Waiting for Elon to 
'make it so.'

'Alexander' is simply the extension of Cain killing Abel - a murderer. Someone who murders to gain and hold onto power. It is above all, a spirit; the spirit of a man - or that is, expressed in humans.

Right now, there are easily over a hundred a fifty thousand war dead on the side of the Ukraine.

Meanwhile, butter-wouldn't melt, your President has committed a trillion dollars of your money to continue this lunatic escapade that risks nuclear conflagration.

...So, there is no real indication that anyone has arrived here from some advanced planet and civilization to rescue you.

Returning From 'Normal People'

The 'Holiday Season' being what it is, there are those standard human cultural practices inevitably forced onto even the most dedicated of hermits such as myself...

We end up at a 'family get-together' or something, where we will hear various things people have to say, usually about the very last things that were on media outlets but in all events certainly no longer than a week ago.

Now either someone like myself steps out of the world altogether, or keeps a foot back in it.

I had steak & kidney pie. It was much better
than the king's silly Christmas Message.
But what can you expect? It's not really a
kingdom anymore and he's not really a king.
He's a functionary of an oligarchy.

And why?

Why not just disappear?

Well because it is a lot of pressure being with the 'upsiders.' Trust me, these guys are not straightforward and while you are down here, instead of 'up there' at least in a way it is easier to play dumb and then not have to confront the stark reality of the sentient Universe which is beyond the passing sentience of human people.

I am telling you this right now because sooner or later you will - if you haven't already done so - have to confront these things.

Bob Dylan outright told the truth about certain essential elements of his own life: he was interviewed and he said that he had absolutely no idea at all how he was able to write things like 'Darkness at the break of noon, Shadows even the silver spoon, The handmade blade, the child's balloon, Eclipses both the sun and moon...'

Wiki calls them a torrent of Apocalyptic images. The Wikipedia critique basically says the whole song is a torrent of Apocalyptic images.

The lyrics end with the statement: 'It's just life and life only.'

I am deliberately posting pics
of cheap and simple things.
Even so, they are pretty good things,
so there is that... 

And Dylan wisely opines that he probably could not ever again write such things, or in fact, not be able to write at all! By which he meant to extend on what he had a moment earlier said, that it was like magic, but not a kind of simple stage magic that you see performers present, but something actually magically that penetrated - that was the word he used.

But what are we to 'confront?'

Well, it is something very serious indeed.

It is in the Letter of James, I think, in which the writer says that 'Elias was a man like unto us...'

So what I'm trying to say here is that none of us need expect from ourselves that we should be 'something special' or 'different.' Bob Dylan is certainly different to me and special - for one thing he is staggeringly talented and I am not at all! Leaving his reluctance to attribute his poetry entirely to himself alone, the fact is that we are not he. He is one of the greatest poets that ever lived.

I don't think he's entirely oblivious though, of the process - of what is really going on.

My problem is that it is not so easy for me to remain in the 'different world.' Oh it's completely fantastic up there, no question - but...

Elias was a man like unto us - but...

He did something and then something happened...

I want to tell you something very terrible.

People think that when they die, either their consciousness just dissipates, or 'disappears' or something, or else - for those who believe in various supernatural, beyond-this-life things - it goes somewhere where it is 'judged' and then maybe, hopefully, it gets to go to some place of happiness.

Not really 'ordinary people' stuff, this...

Well let me tell you what actually happens, for most people: their personal consciousness does not just 'dissipate' or disappear, but they literally go to places like (actual) Lake Nakuru in Kenya, where they find themselves installed inside various birds. And that's very cool to the person, see, because they find that they are able to fly, albeit that this is 'culturally' (that is 'bird society') linked to the flying of the - whatever one particular flock or other similar species - birds.

And but with each flap of their wings, their consciousness shifts ever further literally into the flock itself, until at some point there is no longer any personal ego consciousness and just pure 'flock consciousness.' And from there it's possible that they can be taken to another place of dryness, without water to drink or at least very little of it, and then after a while they are led to a place where there is a great flooding of clean and pure water to drink - which they do drink but of course it has properties designed to make them lose their memory entirely.

And from then it is uncertain what particularly comes to pass with each specific 'unit' of consciousness. Or, I am not permitted to say what, here.

And neither are you, if you know it.

Kinda beautiful.

But this is not your fate. 

Your fate is like that of Elias.

For you are like Elias. Because Holy Scripture says so, and Scripture may not be broken.

And actually, this also means that you can have happen whatever you want.

Did Dylan also write Sacred Scripture?

Might have done.

Personal human consciousness is something which emerges from a lot of other pre-conditions. But then to have it be preserved intact, after death, is determined by the efforts of other people, and not by oneself alone... (That is, not by the person actually doing the dying).

It may be that the gods will preserve someone, but then why would they choose this one and not that one? What makes one deserving and another, not?

It may also be however, that you yourself have determined who will live on, and then who will merely enter the flocks of birds.

Dylan's words go into the fact that so many rulers and politicians and so on carry on seemingly in the firm belief that 'Death' will not fall upon them naturally. Dylan's poetry is instructive.

There is something beyond 'life only.'

The Death of the personal consciousness
is pink.

You cannot afford to think that you are alone in whatever you are doing. You cannot afford to imagine that you are lonely. This is Death.

'Life' can be very low-level 'grouped' consciousness. And that is a kind of Death too, because it cuts out higher relationships and interactions; it is thus 'life only.'

We need to get beyond life only.

My problem is that I find it very challenging out here. I find that I would easily argue with a lot of the people I find around me in these circumstances! That is to say if it were that their mindsets were not altered and that they were left to be who they actually already and genuinely are, fully and completely intact. And so I personally do not argue with them at all.

Which is why you go to the temple
where the gods really are, and
appear as they truly are...

I still like them - flawed as they are.

Which is not to say that I wouldn't shove people around if I wanted to.

I wouldn't shove around the ordinary people who will end up in the flocks. Waste of time.

When you end up getting your way you start to really feel beholden to the gods, though.

There is an ancient Sanskrit mantra to the effect of: 'May we never lose each other's company.'

I hope you know what you just read.

When I say 'returning from the normal people' I mean stepping back from what is in fact, Death, although it is called 'life' by the dead. The dead are forever hiding behind masks. They are inauthentic and transactional the same way vampires are. 

Being in the other place is utterly exquisite, but it is also very challenging. Truly living consciousness is an emergent thing; it emerges from out of a set of elements. Preserving it then, completely intact, is a great objective. Dylan's poetry is instructive but so is his self-awareness and observation about what was going on. Sometimes we think we cannot force the hand of the gods, and that the 'force' is flowing elsewhere and never where we are. But, the Letter of James shows there is a way...
