The Few Out Here

What is quite remarkable about the whole human race, as it expresses itself down through centuries and centuries - to me at least - is that no one takes a good long hard look at the existential reality of people's personal experience of self.

'Existential' means, as you know: what you experience from your senses, rather than what you are speculating about through your secondary thinking levels and therefore what you could simply be imagining by doing that latter thing.

Contemporary, but a classic and 
worth collecting.


On the one hand people say that they 'live,' except they only live for a short time - while on the other hand human society itself as a whole claims to be this on-going very long-term thing that seemingly does not in fact die. But it goes on continua continua. Supposedly.

This seemingly amorphous long-term human society though, is made up only of short-term units of life; individual persons' particular lives. And there is no practical existential bridge between the units and the larger thing.

It is not a widely socially accepted thing at all, for people to recall what they experienced before they were born and come to next be living as a growing, and dying, human. 

There are the odd handful of individuals who claim to remember so-called 'past lives' but funny how this already takes on the rubric that 'living' means somebody's life; for example like a Napoleon, Cleopatra, or just some unknown private person, but in all events a single, singular, standard human life.

Well that does not really tell us anything that we don't already know, except that clearly we do not know from an ordinary existential basis, what was going on before our common physical material brain systems got sufficiently arranged all together so that we recognize and make sense of sensory experiences and have these sorted and stored in our brain cells and putative 'memory.'

It is the 'we don't already know' part that is significant.

The blackness. The darkness. The apparent non-existence.

But now let's look at this another way.

You are aboard some super futuristic and advanced extreme high technology, um, platform out here in space and although there are no 'cryogenic' tubes that sci-fi wants to say can be used to hold a material living body in stasis through long trips between planets and stars - there are other kinds of tubes in which material iterations of your precise personal DNA composition are formed and grow.

Overcast day in Asia somewhere...

By this means you really do not 'die' as such, but jump from one receptacle to another similar one. And that would presume of course that your actual personal self aware consciousness is transferable; which it is.

How do we know it is?

We 'know' it is from (our; there are others) standard Western sacred writings. Jesus was not immediately physically recognized when re-appearing, by many or even most who otherwise knew him over a complete adult life...

This is Easter-time. Jesus died and then He rose, but He did not 'come back' in exactly quite the same form as what was originally there that people had once seen and experienced. 

Early on in the transition scenario, He had obvious marks that pertained to what had recently happened bodily; a very short while later He was physically a different-looking person!

He says to Mary Magdalene: 'Don't touch me, I have not yet gone (back) up. (To change into a new organic dynamic 'container,' I guess).

But then, for the ordinary human being, they do not seem to have any recollection of any previous experiences that they are clearly aware of, when they were in some other physical organic body and therefore personal consciousness 'container.'

Well there are several 'problems' with this model - yet, let us for interest's sake, assume the model.

As I have said before, if the internal intellectual mechanisms and the formats of those were transparent to people, it would be instantly possible to see when someone is lying, instantly possible to see what was motivating them anyway -, instantly possible therefore to avoid harm from them.

Which one - the car or what's behind
the gates?
LOL

My proposition to you has always been that no K-type II plus civilization can afford to circumvent this concept of being able to literally see other people's motivations, their emotions, their psychological motivations. 

No such society exists out there that avoids that. In other words, those that do exist out there, absolutely can 'see' you. And they can see all their members all of the time if they want to.

And which means they act uniformly, if it may be that they look like individual agents on the surface.

The reason you cannot 'remember' your earlier existence prior to this immediate mortal physical one is that you will necessarily be remembering all others' experiences that you were grouped into or along with, and not just one single existence. If, you are from an advanced group.

So there is a huge differential calculus relationship involved between the particular measured human mortal life - which begins, grows, declines, and then dies - and the life of someone, some other kind of 'one' being that is in a minimum K-II plus civilization set.

Standard religious ideas and theologies as they have come to be part of the human world, in fact, never handle this - but that is very strange because it simply must be an existential fact if, the very basis of all of these 'religions' are even vaguely 'true.'

To encapsulate the whole point though - there is on the one hand, a grouped-together, massive and not linear time-locked existence (at least it is theoretically possible, and complies with the rules of logic and philosophy), but that is very different from a linear time-determined Gauss profile human mortal life.

And what happens to a group consciousness society, when in a 'mortal' format, suddenly the members do things that harm other members?

What does that say about the underlying real nature of the individual personal consciousness, as ego, in the strict sense...?

Just have a cup (or glass) of tea...

K-II plus societies must of necessity of survival be 'good.'

(In the model posited here).

Yet apparently that does not actually mean each real individual member ego is really naturally good at all - not if you stick one of them, separate them from their hive group and place them into the mortal human race only to discover they are capable of harming each other wantonly and very badly.

Actually, let me put it another way, seeing how it is 'Easter.' The Christian text, falls in line with what I am saying re K-II plus civilizations; and it is meaningless in terms of 'sin' and 'Creation narratives' and all of that. And it does not fall in line with the standard modern theology/theologies.

Further, it categorically and explicitly (especially in the non-canon books of Peter and Mary Magdalene) confirms the 'other worlds' and K-II plus format that I have posited, and does not confirm or affirm the 'Jehovah' or 'Creation' religious narratives at all. This despite modern theologies say different. But they cannot demonstrate it.

The danger of harm comes from the limitations of the Gauss profile single and isolated organic material life - not any moral 'fall' or 'Original Sin' because of some individual human or whatever, which has no logic or rationality to it in any case.

The danger of harm comes from the fact, that humans are less than a K-II plus civilization.

You say -, oh but prove it.

You get three (or five!) of the hottest people (that way there will be less resistance in your thinking to the idea!) that you know, and have them totally and transparently go along with every single thought that you have in your head. Can you?

Well that's in fact actual 'Christianity.' It's what it expressly and explicitly teaches.

'When two or more are...'


Fact.

That, is the moment that you will see what Muslims are only talking about on these current 'odd-numbered' nights of Laylatul Qadr.

The Universe is vast. It has numerous civilizations, each on different levels of development. The so-called 'human condition,' this one filled with pain and suffering, is to do with its level of development.

'If only I could just see an ET Alien with super-incredible technology, then I will do all of this.'

What, because prior to that you will be and act like all other limited humans, inside their silly little limited lives and lifespans? Well we already know that. You must jump forward. And you have to do it by yourself. Otherwise you just have to keep on staying behind.

If you saw and got to go into some place with K-II plus people, you would be in the group mind situation.

Put you back then from that place to this place - and are you going back to slaughtering and killing and demanding and issuing orders and overpowering others and perpetually trying to overpower others and claiming you are the ones with 'rights' and who 'know' everything; and wanting to be the ruler/s because until then you are the victims? (Because after all, others do the same thing back - and they absolutely do too). It's just nothing but fighting among humans all the time. Every 'peace' is on the edge of failure each second.

Unless you get to rule you won't play, right.

Well stay behind here then. No problem. Your call.

We 'Switchback' For Good Reasons

And now, let us turn away from the problems of the world - of this world - and look to different pastures, to greener fields...

To more exciting adventures and fun things.

In a short while, it may be possible to drift into what most will take to be complete fantasy.

I quietly guffaw at this, if not a laugh as such. For there is simply nothing at all funny about the present situation; what is going on around us.

This is not a 'small private club.'
So this is 100% not where 
small men have their little
private meetings.
This is in Paris anyway,
and Paris is the 'city of love.'



The position of all governments around the globe today, is that 'we' (as they will tell us) and they live in a complex interconnected world.

But what they really mean when they say that, is that they have absolutely no intention at all of risking the money relationships they have with various more-or-less quite unsophisticated places - which in the end are in fact ruling their at home morality and ethics.

Nobody in the West is going to invade say Turkey or Saudi Arabia to get at the oil resources in those places. 

Iran also does have lucrative oil resources, but its ruling elite does not really have the complete heartfelt backing of its citizens, and so there have been over the past few years pretty straightforward military spear thrusts risked deep into its higher soldiering ranks.

Iran does not trade through ports like Singapore either, for example. So it doesn't have any Western or pseudo-Western support from other countries. It is vulnerable to an outright open military attack.

What I am trying to say without invoking the ire of 'monitors' all over the place these days, is that what you must now do, to perceive the strategic elements driving geopolitical animus, is line up great trading ports and deep consumer economy nations, and stack up Iran and Saudi Arabia and Turkey and even Russia in the same line and envisage who really sits where.

Yes I could directly say what is going on well-and-truly behind the scenes of what the public is allowed to see and to know, but then we would rapidly be silenced here.

Put it this way, things are very far from what you might casually think and believe.

So let us plainly avoid all of the controversy and look to other things.

Think more in Asia somewhere...

Look to the stars...

LOL

Back down here believe me, small men in tiny private clubs make arrangements that are not for your profit, your benefit, nor in your physical interests at all.

We have a friend on these pages, who is from the up-front-street major investing world, and he goes by the handle of 'Tao' in some places, and he oft times wonders out loud to some who seem to be connected to these 'unknown to the Pentagon' (apparently...) weirdo 'back engineering' groups and even maybe to operational teams - can there be a 'rods-of-god' incident just to settle things back down on the planet?'

W-e-e-e-ll...

I have a message to our friend, from our other friends, those ones:

'Not that it will alter the present course of matters in the slightest, but just for thou and for a few others, yes there will be.'

There will be consultations, um-ings and ah-ings, discussions, round table meetings and then necessarily strictly-defined terms of engagement - but then suddenly a plan will be put into action.

And it will happen.

Meanwhile you don't need to worry too much about anything.

Turn your mind to beautiful things.

Stop even thinking about suffering and tragedy and human pain.

This is probably the best
kind of thing the
Earth humans could
mount. This is a 
depiction, not a real pic.

The human race has known a lot of suffering and pain and tragedy down through all of its history but its leaders almost never have.

And that is about to change and you will know it when it happens (the thing) for what it really is.

Because we have told you about it a little, and to watch for it.

Yet still in all, not many will change their ways.

I know that quite a number of people ponder what is it all about - life...

Why are some people so intent on forever behaving selfishly in ways that harm others...

Why can't people be a fully coherent group, where there is no underhanded agendas and hidden meanings and deliberate harmful intentions secretly harbored by those individuals pretending to be friends...

What is wrong with the human race?

They pray to 'god' (so they claim) but then they hate the world of other people.

Or they claim to be leaders for the people, but then they commit those same people to death and destruction.

You know I could tell you why the whole thing carries on the way it does.

But I know you are more interested in the action.

Well, there is about to be some action for you.

Then at that time you will listen better. I don't have an exact time to say at this moment. But I can give you a sense of the timing. One more late night get-together; some cups of I dunno, weak tea or some 'drinks' people will not demur at taking and one simple question posed to those present. ...It's not quite a committee decision because in fact the decision has already been made - it's a plain courtesy. A week, not much longer.

The Full Global War - When

One of our more in-the-background researchers here asked the question with some degree of seriousness yesterday - okay, is there going to be a World War? (Another one).

The world is already at war.

You are all well aware that the standard perspective is problematic. And in terms of television 'talk' it has largely just 'played the man' with a local political filter on only and not a large-scale and geopolitical focus. This is standard wartime 'public need to know' policy demanded and run by the backroom operatives of any kind of government everywhere when there really is a war.

Right now there are a few dribs and drabs coming out about the current launching of a massive attack directly at 'a city somewhere.'

Over a hundred major missile attacks - from Reuters' reports - were launched within the last twenty-four hours.

A meaningless, bland,
newspaper pic that won't get me
into trouble.

...And someone, meanwhile, motivated some ISIS operatives to shoot into a massed crowd of civilians and kill over a hundred - clearly, those shooters who were apprehended eventually, were beaten up before they were dragged before the Russian courts today.

So...

Should we be 'Doomsday Preppers?!'

Are we going to war?

With whom are we meant to be going to war now?

All this time, not one single Western government anywhere in the world - leaving aside say Italy and Hungary and those sorts of peripheral players - has given any serious indication whatsoever that they are interested in preventing war, or giving any indication that they would even know how to do such a thing even if they wanted to achieve it. Rather, they have all increased military budgets and spending. They seem to be intent on rushing headlong into military solutions. That might work; or it might not work.

If only the shelters would be that 
good...

The national debt levels are beyond any means of repayment.

And Central Banks laughingly joke that they have inflation 'probably under control.'

Are we going to war?

This is the kind of economic context that was there prior to WW's I and II.

When you inflame the emotions of people you are liable to get the usual response that you would get from irritating wild forest animals - which is what the human race or certainly most of it, came from. Humans are a vaguely hybridized form of wild jungle and plains Bonobos and pan-troglodytes. aka monkeys.

All humans, are related to monkeys.

There were a couple of Australian Islamic clerics who just recently gave some lectures about the 'animal antecedents(! - my wording)' of a certain well-known other group.

But in fact all humans are (a form of) primates.

Stanley Kubrick was pretty prescient when he depicted a monkey glorying in his power over the other monkeys... You remember that scene, the one where the one monkey held that bone high over his head and waved it at the other monkeys.

In other words, it is a fairly basic trait of humans (and monkeys) to become sucked into the emotional spirals of fear, or hatred - or power and authority.

We have talked here about seeing the Light.

Dunno...

In the Zohar, one of the major Elohim figures - a female, as it happens - is the custodian of the Divine Creative Light. Whereas the comic book writers employ the name 'Kara Jor-El,' or in the recent television version of this fantasy/fable, Kara Zor-El, for a female identity that is the feminine or female counter-part to Superman - in the Zohar, in the most exclusive and esoteric and secretly-held parts of it - she is 'Dina Jor-El' and also 'Jophi-El.'

And equivalently in the Greek version of this narrative, a Titan stole some of the 'Creative Flame/Fire' (from that same identity) in order to fabricate humans from 'what was there before.' And that is the actual phraseology in the Bible (Old Testament); it does not say 'in the land East of Nod.' 'From the unseen East' means 'from a time, or from the time, long before.'

Means from the forms of life that were there before (Man).

'Dina' is the Keeper of the Creative Light and the Angel of Divine Wisdom.

The Greeks have a similar sounding name.

And so, we are talking about a real being, a real person.

There is no creative meaning to murdering and killing and these things are not from any god or Divine Being or Source.

Looks nothing at all like the real
one - but the actress's name
is 'Ayelet Zurer;' these guys in
Hollywood know exactly what they are
doing and saying...

Period.

But will the gods stop the war that is being brought on by (some) Men?

No, they will not.

Because if they stopped the war, and this was obviously seen to happen (by an 'external' hand), then it would obligate them to help the killers and the warmongers (that they had intervened against) and why would they do that?

Humans fancy themselves for 'agency.'

They claim to have the rights and the responsibilities sufficient to do anything that they devise out of their own heads at any time. 

So be it.

For you though, there will be a single and a very obvious and impressive sign, but no one else will care about it and they will certainly not change their ways.

We (I mean you and me and everyone else here in this whole circle - wherever and however far out there it extends; I am not laughing) care.

But only about what we care about:

The Obvious And The Natural

All of the main known systems of 'cosmology' and more or less 'religious thinking' in the world are very far away from the most obvious features of the human animal, the human race, the species as such.

Over many centuries they have all become 'theologies,' where the texts themselves might have been left alone as people's records of actual happenings and their immediate impressions as to the meanings - if succeeding generations were being honest. But they are never left alone. 

...Some ideas and expressed concepts are not
standard theologies and patterns.


'Theology' in is this context means that systematic, organized, human institutions have sprung up whose purpose is secular power and monetary gain and control over people. 

They have nothing at all to do with understanding what things ever did happen in the distant past, or may have happened -, instead they are all assertions about current cause and consequence; their asserted causes and their projected consequences. They have always interpreted the originally textually stated consequences and made out that their interpretations are somehow by some unknown authority, superior to the plain arrangements of the original words.

I mean just leave the words alone, for godsakes! Just read them as they are written there.

It is not really possible, for example, by any logic or reasoning at all, to claim that the Book of Genesis talks about Man sinning against actual Supreme God - certainly not in any known original version - instead what is absolutely clearly set down is that certain unknown, foreign-to-humanity beings termed (members only; not all of) the Elohim, feared the potential actions of humans.

And then (and here is where we will begin to look at the 'barrier' concept), these other beings ensured there would be a barrier, a wall, blocking out humans from some strange and power-imbued 'garden' or actual physical place.

Just someone's artwork,
but not far off it...

We can take a look at the behavior of humans widely, even today in the ordinary current context of their let's say 'evolution' - and see that in fact no one (or virtually no one of them) progresses and develops at all in the final profile of their lives: 

rather, they build up accretions of hard blockages against engaging with others openly and without underhanded agenda. And they withdraw, receding into this seeming small space beneath a completely surrounding hard 'wall' or barrier.

I have said this many times here - don't go and look at labelled religions and metaphysical philosophies and think that they at all represent what might have been discussed within small closed circles at the relevant particular times.

You cannot say 'egg' or 'Cosmic Egg' and then take the label 'Gnostic' and suddenly imagine you have the 'truth' or at all any kind of actual reality.

Eggs do have walls though... So do seeds.

These ideas are actually intrinsic and contained in various sacred writings such as the New Testament. 

Here is the thing: the older most ordinary human people get, the more they withdraw inside themselves and no longer engage openly with others. They follow a social format of 'aging.'

But really, even if you look at it from the sheer psychological standpoint, what is going on is a living thing, just like an organic plant, has grown through its zenith as the thing it is/has been, and dries and hardens into a dying and then finally literally a dead object.

You can believe anything you want.
I look at the hands.
Two people doing that thing with the 
throat though, and then what will you say?


In the plant kingdom, sometimes such processes entail the plant withering up but turning into a seed or seed pod, appearing as if completely lifeless, and going into the ground, only to be watered at some future point and springing back up into life again.

The whole entire metaphorical language in the Biblical 'New Testament' is expressed in this precise way.

People are like seeds, there is a harvest, and so on.

But whereas plants grow because of water and rain and sunlight, humans live and grow because of some additional things which are stated as 'intelligence' or 'intelligent word/s' and 'Truth-as-Light.'

You cannot see any Light if you are living inside of an eggshell.

And that is about as far as I think I need to go here in this open public place where at least not too many people come...

The idea that there is not some actual space-travelling species and full, complete society of super-advanced humanoid beings, who come here and do still come here if secretively, and that is a completely material, physical reality - is nonsense and has been made so through countless years of human theology designed to spread and maintain human social control.

The idea that there is some supernal 'Light' but that it is only 'spiritual' and invisible as such to the ordinary normal senses is absolute rubbish.

You can see this Light.

'I'm blue, dub-a-dee, dub-a-di...'
'Livin' in a blue world...'

You. Can.

But that you will have to break through many layers of suppression and social coercion and hard walls between your own consciousness and that intelligent luminous pathway of communication across Universal time and space to other intelligent people, is absolutely paramount and required.

Otherwise for sure you won't see anything.

These things are obvious and natural and follow the same paths that all living creatures follow in very standard profiles.

Subverted Meanings And Diversions

Look... Think about it when I point this thing out.

The Zohar that is widely discussed by semi-occultists today, and that has a section devoted to it in Wikipedia, is categorically not the actual 'Zohar.'

Everyone everywhere widely jams up the Kabbalah with the Zohar and the two things are quite different - although you will in a moment see why there is this combination of the two pursuits of the understanding of esoteric matters.

'Kabbalah' means whatever is received from others of the esoteric wisdom of the hidden past.

The Zohar was not ever written down by any person that can be identified and authenticated historically and the plain fact is, being an extremely hidden body of knowledge in the first place, it was never intended to be 'given' to just anyone. It was handed over only to an extremely select, hand-picked and very secretive one or two followers - not large numbers of followers...

It's only a small light
on a dark street...


Thus it was not ever kept as a written-down large body of work, of explanatory text and so on.

But today we find that is what we are told is the Zohar, or at least constitutes that essential knowledge itself.

That cannot in fact be, but that is what everyone says (that it is)...

Today both the Zohar and the Kabbalah as it exists in the hands of largely Jewish and some Christian Kabbalists - claim to deal with 'correct' interpretations of the Hebrew traditional sacred writings.

Now, leaving aside for the moment that in any case both the Zohar (as known popularly today) and the Kabbalah were first discussed by esoteric writers in Spain post the Arabic and Islamic occultist influence there - the actual core of it all was a direct experience of and with a living 'light' that was from the Divine Realms (hence the very word 'Zohar' which means 'the Radiance').

So in fact there also is 'Islamic Zohar' and 'Islamic' and definitely Arabic 'Kabbalah': in the Arabic this is largely in the hands of the Shi'a occultists who use the term 'Noor' and 'Zahar' to describe a Sacred and Divine Light. As there is indeed a completely non-typical religious Spanish occult Kabbalah tradition - to say nothing of the Spanish Christian 'Templars' who also use the Zohar and Kabbalah in their own forms and formulations of the whole affair.

The fundamental proposition though, of ancient sacred scriptures, is that they teach or show enough about a real God for the dedicated reader to attain both a true and accurate complete knowledge of God and what it is God desires (of them) - yet these ancient texts and traditions are (were, during the early times of the modern Zohar) widely viewed as flawed, broken (especially in all of their translation forms), and missing key bits.

The very reason people tried to 'interpret' what it is that is contained in them (the Old Testament/Pentateuch/Torah, for example) is that they are flawed, broken, not understood, and missing key parts.

Now but what is the logic of this, though:

The mind (minds of some humans!) of
man can manufacture amazing
arrangements of
light.



You have a way by which you get a direct, immediate, instant, manifestly real, experience and interaction and communication with some kind of 'Divine Light...' But then you use that 'Zohar' to go back and interpret or re-interpret ancient texts that never gave you that immediate manifest experience at all - all while you are supposed to already have that relationship (through the Zohar itself).

What's the sense of that?

No. What is going on is that people who never had any actual connection to Zohar let's call them 'adepts' at this moment - but who had enough third-hand and hearsay idea about what the Zohar might have been -, in the absence of anyone who was prepared to go public with the actual Zohar, picked up the word and ran with it claiming that they knew what it was all about and then used the term and its associated esoteric terminology that they knew superficially about, to say they had the way to interpret old sacred books.

It doesn't make logical sense what they claimed (and what they still do claim) but they can get away with it because people are silly and don't use logic anyway, mostly.

Zohar is categorically not what the common popular 'teachers' all say that it is.

That 'tree-of-life' symbolism is just hearsay which approximates something that was talked about inside the genuine esoteric circles.

'Zohar' is when you literally have a direct connection with a living, actual 'Otherworldly' medium - just like the air we breath down here in this world - and that medium is taken to be Light.

When humans act honestly, they can do
honest things which are amazing.


There is no reason at that point to go back and turn over stuff that has no authentic further current functional present-moment purpose.

All the modern 'experts' (in the Zohar and the Kabbalah and esoteric Islam too) exert rule and power over other people.

...A Living, actual, Otherworldly, intelligent medium that is used like we use air to breathe down here.

Is there any religious place on Earth, any mosque, temple, cathedral or church, in which you can genuinely witness something actually Otherworldly, not of this world...?

If not then they are all masquerading as angels of Light - aka they are 'Satan.' 

All. All of them. Period. 

Or they are museums; artifacts of the past.

Ideas about things that
glow in the Darkness of 
Midnight are everywhere
in marketing.
They are ideas, and they conceptions,
carried through by designs and
by artifice.
'Zohar' is the Light
that comes without
artifice of any kind.

It's very disrespectful (by humans) of the Divine to start placing rules and conditions and limitations on what the Divine can or wants to do.

If it is truly Divine it knows everything about you.

It knows what your intentions are. It also knows you are a human.

'John the Baptizer came to you fasting and in rags and you called him possessed by a demon, and crazy; Jesus and His Disciples ate and drank and you called them gluttons...'

Of course you can restrain yourself and moderate your behavior. Of course you can celebrate if you feel like doing that.

The Divine is a Now thing; instant - instantaneous.

If you address a god, it is there, in front of you.

Or else it is not a god.

And if it is there in front of you, it must respond to you right away. And no amount of the pressuring of you by other people around you, should dissuade you about the facts of the matter. Or persuade you to think in the wrong direction.

On the whole, what we as humans down here have, is a line of communication, rather than a direct physical interaction one-on-one, right now.

And that is because these beings of past narratives, written down as ancient sacred literature, as Mauro Biglino rightly points out - these 'Elohim' - are material physical beings, in 'locations' not here on the planet. But they come... ...when they come.

And when they do come it is a concrete (Mauro's terminology), material fact. If you are Moses, you hide behind rocks - because the craft are material, physical, and hard concrete facts and things.

US Navy filmed a thing, not a spiritual concept, or a theological metaphor.

And these things are on their way back. And you can communicate with them right now.
