That Which Is Hidden...

Okay, so this is not really for those who are unprepared.

Not for the unprepared.

The human race is very clever at sending itself deep into its own caves of wonderment. It doesn't need some wizard to offer to direct it into any other caves!

What tree is this, Stanley?

The closest, and I mean, the really closest that Islamic literature and religious understandings gets to the nature of reality, is to be found in what is known today as the Ashari and Mu' tazila schools of thought, and even the Maturidi school although this is presented today as an opposition school to the Ashari. Deep in the ancient Ashari texts is the idea that only a tiny handful which amounts to a sect, will be saved, and they go back and forth, are able to go back and forth, in out of Jannah (The Garden of Paradise). Everybody else well, sure, they 'worship Allah' but so what? They don't understand anything and they just go round and round, more or less like the concept of reincarnation - and what's more, they always will; until Allah decides something else for them. Most Sunni Muslims today are not Ashari because, obviously, they realize they are not in the 'tiny handful!' And so they are p***'d. 

But then the modern day Ashari proponents are probably also the furthest away from discovering the actual truth...

The world is a snare, this we know. But why? 

Well we don't need to say why right now, but at least we can say it is a snare which throws the world of people back into itself.

Now I would say it is quite sinister, what people like Disney do, to some of the great classical myths and fairy stories - they somehow manage to take out all the major components of why those myths were ever important to people, to societies; to the people of the societies from which the myths came, and that includes us ourselves today, who are the global legacy holders of all of it.

The Boy Who Reveals...

You will not easily find basic illustrations, and you will not find at all, accurate illustrations or depictions of the 'Cave of Wonders' for instance, anywhere on the internet although you may be able to still acquire some old books that have them inside the covers in the pages somewhere.

And this is important because we know today, for example, that such a place as the Travancore Temple Treasure does really exist, and it has all the characteristics of what the myth of Aladdin says - as image and statuary depictions there, but also a trillion dollar or greater store of jewels and objects literally present there inside it.

The Arabic word 'Jinn' really means that which is incredibly well hidden, and the name 'Aladdin' really means 'the boy who reveals the incredibly well hidden.'

We're going to swing at this juncture, to the Christian 'mythology.' And I'm going to couch it in those terms so as not to offend anyone...

You see, the mythology of Christianity is this - you can turn water into wine, you can heal the sick, raise the dead, make your teeth re-mineralize... ...without going to any doctor or dentist or whatever. So this is mythology, right?

The Egyptian 'Blue Lily' or Lotus. So they did use these in the times
of Cleopatra, probably it is the mythical 'Kyphi.' Now, this is not
what I'm talking about, but people - like Castaneda - have gone this route too. 

The Cenacle Address contains certain words and ideas, though, that are not either understood, and mostly also - much like what Disney does - not conveyed down to today's readers. There's a kind of a joke in one part in there: don't go to the Lord's Supper hungry as if you want a meal of bread and wine. And then it goes on to say 'because then you will get sick just like any other normal human being and you won't get the power that you seek...'

And almost everywhere nowadays the word they use in the key sentences is 'diakrino' which can mean 'to doubt' and also 'to judge' - and so Bible exegesis people manufacture this notion that this is about 'discerning' and 'discernment.'

Okay, so the actual word is 'diakrinon' - which is a world of meaning away. This means, to separate completely. And it doesn't mean anything else.

It means - you have eyes that you cannot see, but with which you are able to see for real; you have ears that you cannot feel, but with which you are able to hear the truth about everything; you have all the senses and more. These are 'Jinn' perceptions; that is, very well-hidden.

Castaneda's old man says 'night is coming...'

When the Islamic master teachers explain the retinue of Solomon containing ranks and files of 'Jinn,' they say it means his 'secret agents.' Not 'birds that spoke Arabic and Nubian!'

There may have been 'Jinni' beings as well, the way we imagine those 'demonic beings' from our myths and legends but this is just another level of 'the very well hidden and the extremely subtle.'

Back to the myth of Aladdin - myth - and the Cave of Wonders. See, down in there, the magical trees that grow in the grove, at the center of which was the niche where the magic lamp was... ...well these trees held glowing fruits, like jewels, and inside each jewel, was a fairy maiden.

Aladdin at some point in the story, sees the Princess of Agrabah down in the market square, and then, he employs his magical lamp to procure a secret meeting with her. So, the lamp provides 'secret meetings;' it is a work of Jinn.

Jesus Christ is the ultimate 'working of Jinn powers.' He was there, then He was not there, and then He came back, and then He went far away, but He will be back - and so forth, you know the story.

So Tao gives us Castaneda in a passage about an older age man, and the dog barking, and night coming. 

"For lust of knowing what should not be known,
we took the Golden Road to Samarkand."

The last play by William Shakespeare - anyone(?) anyone(?) - yes, was 'The Tempest.' So. I'm going to post up the trailer to Cassavetes' The Tempest, and you will strangely enough, observe the similarity with the opening sequences of our friend Kubrick's EWS. And why not? It, too, was his last work...

LOL

Are we getting somewhere yet? Okay so, we will be going into the 'diakrinon' of how to 'see' and to 'hear' and to 'feel' and everything else. In the next article, maybe the next few of them, because as you know, 'Rome wasn't built' et cetera, yeah?

Anyone reading here who remains reading and persisting, and who thinks you won't be able to 'attain' - think again. 

The jeweled fruits in the magical trees down in the Cave of Wonders, are jewels, right? They're very beautiful. When you go, as a young boy urchin, down into the public market square, and see, the astonishing Princess Jasmine (I think that was her name), she is very beautiful.

The Tree of Life also has fruit - and these are very beautiful, except they all get old and they die. Right? 

Now - this boy Aladdin, he sees into the jeweled fruits, inside them, and he sees fairy ladies inside there. He sees, 'diakrinon,' behind the beautiful surface. And you too will see. Right now you don't have the eyes with which to see. And it does take a bit of time and practice. When you can drink wine but not because you are thirsty for wine, believe me you will get drunk, but, as it says in the Gospels or Acts or something 'it will still only be 9am in the morning.' (So you're not actually drunk on wine). Bit of a tautology there, but it was mine; I don't think it's in the actual texts.

Oh we can turn the water into wine all right, don't you worry about that. You need to worry about what state your mind will be at and it's still yet only 9 in the morning!! ROTF. 

Nobody comes here and reads. We are the tiny sect.

Meanwhile, here's Cassavetes:

Zeiss GrossePlanetarium Berlin

Sunday night, was the live-stream on-line broadcast by the former East German trance musician Matthias Paul ('Paul Van Dyk') - this time produced from inside the Zeiss Large Planetarium Complex in Berlin.

Zeiss Large Planetarium 

About twelve hours earlier, Daniela Niederer ('Nore En Pure') put on an amazing 3-4 hour live set from out in the open next to the Geltenfall (Waterfall) in the Tatelishore Mountains in Gstaad, Switzerland. ...From late afternoon into dusk, and then into the night.

The Gstaad set featured drone vision as the thing flew up and down the sides of the mountains, tracking the waterfall itself, into the brooks and streams that flow across the large plateau at the foot of the waterfall.

It was clearly pretty cold up there and there were specialized outdoor heaters being used. These things are quite amazing because of the requirements of outdoor performances these days - large concert orchestras use them too - the equipment needs to be completely silent and yet highly effective. Well, but, we have all the modern technology these days to make this kind of thing happen.

Geltenfall, Gstaad.

The Zeiss Large Planetarium featured a complete synchronized live show from the optical and cinematic projectors - which all have to be manned by 'visual directors.' 

Now if you realize that Germany has produced some of the truly great Western cultural iconic bodies of art - Beethoven, Schiller, Goethe, and plenty of others - then you will credit that the directors of the Zeiss Large Planetarium knew very well what they were getting up to, bringing in someone like Paul Van Dyk.

In the earlier set at Gstaad, they had a piece that was literally a modernized - completely radically modernized - version of some Bartok; it was a brand new piece of music in this format and not available yet via YouTube as a single and not released anywhere else yet either, so I can't preview it here just yet... ...but, you can see that behind all the techno glitz is some serious, very serious real musical art.

Going back to the idea of up-grading the human mind, or at least, how it can be used, even when you look at all of these 'New Age' more-or-less Sanskrit Veda-based concepts about the inner chakras, it isn't very clear how you can exactly pin these down the way we would like to do things in our lab-science Western approach. The internet is replete with visualized depictions, metaphors, about the 'inner light' and so on. It's mostly all imagined, or 'envisioned' things.

The human being, the human mind, its actual neurology and linked-up electro-chemistry, is so intensely complex, that none of these things is really simple to describe accurately, and therefore to provide reliable scientific systemic approaches about, in order to engage with any prospective 'intangible but real' underlying such a thing as 'the spirit' or a Universal Spirit or whatever you care to call that area of discussion.

The human being is so intensely complex, that just because you can get one thing right, does not imply that you have a full grasp of all other things. People in AI and software can understand this is a complex line-coding thing that is involved...

Susan Sarandon - from when she was in Cassavetes' The Tempest.

Line by line, slowly, very slowly, is the only way I know of, that can entertain any kind of amalgamation of what a genuinely advanced 'human-like' mindset is, with our standard current-day human mind. 

Not for nothing are the cenacle addresses not disclosed in the New Testament writings anywhere.

You either live it out, or you miss the whole thing altogether.

I said it, but that doesn't make it either simple or easy: you can get the winds to blow up a storm. Oh you think not? Don't bet on it. But it is a question of practice makes perfect. Prospero knew it. Jesus told you to wash feet! You start from at the ground, up. Any advanced, truly super-advanced intelligent group of people who could make it all the way to far over here, from far over yonder somewhere, are really really complicated beings!

The question for us is, do they still wash feet?

PVD played this at the Berlin Large Planetarium set, on Sunday:

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.
