The Coming Inflation Disaster

I am very conscious that so many people around me right now will be exposed to the problematic forces confronting real estate and equities markets everywhere.

There are no places on the planet Earth right now that are completely immune to severe risks in the ordinary kinds of assets that people everywhere are constantly told are 'safe,' or 'as safe as houses...'

Georges Cinq, I think.
Yes.

Because we have all come to live in a monetarist central banking paradigm over the last forty years. And so ever since the tenure of Fed Chairman Paul Volcker, the expansion of the money supply is the most critical factor to the pricing effect of inflation on just about anything. But then, the fact that the monetarist mindset has taken hold and is entrenched in - literally baked into - the national debt structure of the funding of government, does not mean that the policy leaders really fully understand what monetarism actually is and how to manipulate circulation velocity with optimum economic and social/political efficiency using the monetary taps.

It is not going to be easy for me to discuss with you the coming massive problems and dire straits of the middle classes as they attempt to stave off their looming inability to stop spending on their presumed 'asset values' using debt.

At the same time of course, no commercial banks will ever reign in their own propensity to extend debt based on valuations of real estate. This lending of money by banks is the basic underlying cause of consumer goods and services inflation - since limitless new 'money' is chasing the limited supply of existing products.

Most people will at this point have a strong pre-commitment out of their own pockets to the position that their investment stance is sound and that all of their 'assets' are never going to be worthless as such.

In fact they are already much worse than simply 'worthless;' they have stolen decades of people's time and work-lives and will not be able to return anything to them on those things.

It makes a lot of difference...
What you serve things in.

You will never be able to shake people's hypnotized fixation on the idea that 'government' controls everything practically speaking, and that 'government' will do something to save everyone and that besides only 'government' makes new land available and can permit who gets to build what onto where. The theme with that kind of thinking being that houses/buildings are in short supply compared to the demand for them.

It is one thing for someone who has a large percentage of ownership of their land and house/s, and quite another to discuss what most ordinary people are doing. Most ordinary people have no idea what a sound equity position in a mortgage-funded piece of real estate is, and no self-discipline to stay away from so-called 'home equity loans.'

And there is absolutely no possibility that governments will ever cease wasting money on private-interest schemes and paying out vast sums of taxpayer money to lobbies.

Until there is a disaster.

When you buy a new house you pay an inbuilt premium for 'newness.' When you buy an old house you buy an expense and a depreciating asset. ...And a 'thing' that has a 'foot-print' of many square meters all of which are land 'rate-able.' And which is immobile. It cannot be moved away from some poor economic environment to another, better-off one.

When you buy a case of 100 year old port wine you buy something that can last another hundred years. ...Which occupies very little space or 'footprint,' and that has a very low maintenance cost if anything at all. And that is mobile in that you can, if needs be, move it around quite easily.

And which goes down in relative supply terms as the years pass (there's less of it available from such-and-such a particular vintage).

Now whether there is either a consistent demand for such non-essential premium items, or whether these things always go up in price just because of a rampaging money supply and secular inflation is moot.

The unthinkable of course, is that a bottle of 1,000 dollar vintage tawny port today will be worth 10,000 dollars in the near future.

The 1 million dollar house will not be worth 10 million dollars. But if it is - then so too will all the on-costs and land rates and capital gains taxes and everything else the government can suck out of the situation, have gone up equivalently, although more likely even much more than -.

My parallel projected forecast is unthinkable.

Which is namely that land and property will have gone down ten-fold or literally be worthless and less than worthless - and that wine of all things will have gone up tenfold.

You would think that it is wine where people's self-discipline goes out the window and where they over-indulge and do foolish things. Because that is what everyone is told from youth after all.

And they are told that property is the only safe form of investment.

And that property never goes down.

You are prudent and wise if you stay away from wine and stay entrenched in real estate investments.

No modern-era person respects the saying, well-known to people of the ancient past, that whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad, and then the second idea which goes along with the first -, that wine is the invention of God and sacred and that far from making a sane person mad, it has the capacity to let them gain truthful insights.

The gods do not suggest and nor do they like, humans with a lack of self-control. That is not the point here. 

This place actually has an odor
of pink musk lollies about it
in there, or real marshmallows
not the fake synthetic scent of that stuff!
The Palazzo Brancaccio.

They love people who strive to have self-control.

But more than just sometimes, freeing someone from the false and the fraudulent conceptions about 'self-control' (and more often control by others), is the pathway to being able to see what is true and being able to distinguish it from what is abundantly, yet tragically, seemingly invisibly false.

People have zero memory.

No one today in the world of market commentary recalls that their idol Paul Volcker, completely stuffed up his 'brilliant genius' plan to shift to a monetarist view of economics and central banking and how to 'stop inflation' - and that he by mistake instead created the biggest recession since the Depression and guaranteed that Carter lose the election then, pinning everything on the political establishments, when it was all due to his own arrogance and ignorance of monetarism and the mechanics required to control inflation.

In the same way, no one recognizes that governments and central banks have totally 'lost the plot' so to speak, and moreover, have actually lost control of the near-term future outcomes to do with insane credit expansion using 'free money' for stupid assets such as 'real estate.'

You cannot eat a brick.

As the pharaohs all found out in their end.

Rich Muslims in London do not bow down and worship Allah; they bow down and worship money and middle class mercantilism and property development and real estate investment.

Hamas does not bow down and worship Allah, hoping to kill all the Jews and overrun Israel heralding the return of Isa ibn Maryam, ascending the minbar at Damascus, Syria and signalling the End of the World. They are instead obsessed with fighting the Jewish-dominated United States economy (so they think that it is) out of a sense of envy and jealousy and competition for worldly power - whereas a single crate of wine would do that on someone's personal level of things.

...He tramples out the Grapes of Wrath and you all fall for it every single second of the day if not for angels holding you back from falling into the Abyss.

I am right here and what I say is how it will be.

The only people getting out of here now are a handful, a lonely few. Could be, maybe, you. And not too many else.

There is no one on this planet who can tell you by strategic guesswork, or just wild attempts at prophecy, that Algerian terrorists do have nuclear devices with which they can, and they will, destroy French vineyards.

The only person who can know that kind of thing for a given, and can tell you it, is someone who has been to the future and that is only possible in little white Tic Tacs. LOL

And oh, btw, there is not a goddamn thing 'you' or Chris Wray or anyone else can do about it to stop people like me from going there and saying whatever it is that is waiting there for everyone.

Not a real pic...
Gee it's close but.

Pay me money - um ten, no now it is over a hundred million dollars, and I will show you and take you and give you access and pics and everything. Why t h not??

I can deliver. And guess what, there's not too many out there by the same token who can meet my price back. They in fact, cannot deliver.

Elon Musk is not smart enough although he would be tempted if he knew.

Do you think there is any chance whatsoever, that what I just said will not come to pass?

Ya think?

Maybe you should go back and re-read those books we offered categorically explaining about the Iranian military satellites and 'rainbow bomb' ballistic missiles, and specifying Ukraine as a key war zone, and literally showing you where and when the 'biological weapon' was released in Hong Kong (was in HK, not Wuhan) - and all of those things before they happened!

You think there is any chance at all that the French wineries will be able to stay intact?

LOL

And like, people still think there is no 'evidence' for ET Aliens, right.

And not TEOTW either, right?

But wait, what if what I said here happens? What then -, in your mind... 

What are guys like me really doing though, right?

Well for one thing I like to find great things and then I like to preserve them.

I don't throw good stuff away.

'I.'

'Us' I guess, really.

How about you?

The Fight Between Media And Money

Now considering that this place now does have some basic exposure to the world of mainstream commercial practices, then you'd have to expect that whereas maybe in the distant past we would have just outright said 'Oh so-and-so literally is a such-and-such -,' well today we would be inclined to be a touch more circumspect.

Personally I was this morning rather pleased to find out that not only is the author Frederick Forsyth totally alive, but that he is in very good health. One of his friends was someone whom I was vaguely acquainted with, albeit only for a brief period quite a long time ago, namely, David Tang -, Sir David as he became. Sadly Sir David passed away and I had presumed all of that generational group of Londoners were not with us any more but I am of course quite wrong.

Georges Cinq restaurant in the evening...

Forsyth is someone who, having also worked for Reuters, as Ian Fleming had done, was extremely good at researching his material and most of what he converted into fictional spy novels was derived from strict fact and hard reality.

...Now I mention all of this to point out that all of your corporate media, just about everywhere at the 'heavy-hitter' end of it - and that includes educational publishing (for schools and colleges) and all kinds of computer data companies involved with political analysis and party campaigning - is owned by just one German family. As those familiar with Forsyth's work might be awake up to what I am talking about here...

Not only that, ever since Saatchi & Saatchi self-destructed, virtually all of the heavy-hitters in CRM ('customer relationship management') - something also used by politicians and governments - is owned by exactly the same family.

Meanwhile though, the Bank of England has gone to sleep, and the German Bundesbank, at one time the largest central bank in Europe but now only another member of the ESCB, has sat on its hands on the sidelines as Germany went to economic Hell.

Right now too, the US Federal Reserve is committing suicide - well, actually, what I mean to say is bidding the US citizen to commit suicide over the obtaining national economic conditions and some kind of bizarre prevailing inflationary-positive policy mindset about money and interest rates.

So on the surface you might have thought that there was no friction at all right now between corporate interests who engage in controlling the political atmosphere and the entire sphere of politics as seen by the general public - and central banks who are all meant to be independent and who operate from their chartered objective of protecting the stability of the national currency of whatever nation each central bank looks after.

Nice street lamps in
Paris.

You will observe, I trust, how that recently, and despite my own private view, our 'friends' categorical stated that gold would not rise markedly in the current circumstances of nascent World War III (we are now in that War) - and that they were right and my private view was wrong.

Well our friends go on to say that many things are inclined to happen in world affairs, which are totally outside of anyone's capacity to realistically predict them from standard analysis or from any known or knowable data at any given immediate present moment.

I will return to what I have just now said here in this post, at some future time, and underscore those elements that one might have understood from reading any of the references earlier on in here (this post) - and which will stand out as very stark reminders that there is simply nothing that I have ever said here or elsewhere on the matter of these 'people' that did not come strictly from actual facts and real incidents. 

And no less will those things impinge on the prices and values of French classic wines, than certain other, if associated things that will transpire, also serve to drive a wedge once more between central banking and vast monopolistic corporate interests who specialize in lobbying all sides of politics, with the result that the cost of money will begin to reflect the idiotic and insane cost of capital when multiplied by the theoretical size of liquidated asset values and hence supposed 'dollars' to be raised as debt from real estate prices which are many many multiples of their true clearance values at purely supply and demand considerations.

In short, things happen which change the dynamics of even very cozy banking-political-private wealth relationships. And things can suddenly happen that alter the whole economies of nations - as we have seen be the case with a biological pathogen for example recently.

Without such fore-knowledge it is impossible to predict the future values of something will rise, which do not present any evidence from natural dynamics that they will rise in prices or value.

Going on current evidence, you would not say that interest rates will go to massively higher numbers and you will be inclined to harken to the media's drumbeat that 'this is near the end of the tightening cycle' and that interest rates will 'go back down in a year...'

What 'tightening cycle?' What such thing is that?

Look you're only
truly wealthy when you 
wear pajamas in the street.

Inflation is entirely a monetary-caused phenomenon, and the government (governments everywhere) have not stopped expanding their debt since forever and that is the express reason there is inflation - since so much more new money (by means of debt contracted with commercial banks by people and companies) has driven up purchasing and purchasing power of only existing levels of goods and services with zero authentic capability of anyone to produce new goods and services at the rate that governments and banks can issue fantasy 'dollars!'

While fantasy interest rates were 'zero' or close to zero (remember when it was mooted that 'interest rates could go negative?'), it did not appear that there was inflation being experienced - that is, on-costs were not rising as asset prices were rising. 

But the central banks knew exactly what they were doing back then. And they were very happy to support low costs of living and low on-costs (wages and energy, fundamentally) in order to drive up debts.

Now they have you in debt.

And you spend because you have access to borrowings against fantasy valuations of fixed assets - aka debt.

Well, spent when you had access to debt at cheap prices. And yet, cheap while they appeared to be, the quanta was always much much larger than say it would have been even in the Go Go Eighties.

So now you have more absolute debt and rising absolute costs of debt.

Let's see how you get out of that mess. 

And by 'you' I mean the average citizen everywhere around the Western World.

Let's see you sell every single condominium especially those half-built ones where the builders for some odd reason went broke, and my my, how many of those there are around the place these days...

In other words, lets see the clearance rate in the market actually happen.

Technically, there still are ways politicians can negotiate a way out of the mess for the average mortgage holder...

Louis Vuitton was not ever a genuine 'luxury' product company in the first place anyway.

They were a company pandering to the easy credit and the debt-running middle classes who thought their properties were 'wealth' and wanted to spend cash (debt source cash) on stuff to impress their 'friends.'

Richebourg Leroy is luxury. So is Penfolds Grange.

One is scarce and the other is good.

But what I could tell you about future 'scarcity' though is coming from people with little white Tic Tacs and no one else believes that kind of thing!

LOL

I mean you don't believe that do you?

I certainly could tell you about the future but it's very very unpleasant stuff. And I would get instantly booted from the platform and all the ad revenue would be taken away.

And then, then, afterward, when 'it' happened (IE the thing/s I said about the future events), no one would apologize.

But this time though, they would not apologize for two separate and different reasons which I am not going into. Am I??

...Don't take the lyrics of this song too seriously. It's just a hypothetical. It all still very much depends - on this or that, on whether it be in the Spring or Fall, and whether the little guys from Basel and their cousins or is it their brothers from Zurich, had met yet in those darkened evening places they meet, wherever it is that it is, and all decided.

 

New 'White Paper' On This

About the worst thing that anyone can do right now is allow pics of cool things to be singing into their brains: 'buy me, buy me.' LOL

And we are certainly an instigator or culprit of that kind of thing around here.

There is a major issue in world economies today of inflation, but the source of that inflation is never going to be seen in the media. It is directly coming from governments themselves, from the sorts of government systems (well, there really is only one type of system obtaining everywhere today...) and from their central banks.

'Buy me, buy me.'

If you are going to be an intelligent person, you are going to have to face the fact that the concept of a capitalist system is something that is 'of the past' now and does not exist anywhere in practical reality any more.

Output of useful products and valuable services is the objective of economic production - but these are not genuinely what drives corporations (which are legal entities designed to enshrine ownership and proprietorship within the over all society and social/political framework) any longer.

What drives the 'growth' figure stated in official data is debt and the rising and/or contraction of that creates the illusion of growth and 'rates of growth.'

And although central banks continuously run huge, impossibly huge, official lines of debt (ten year notes and longer), it is moot really who the 'lenders' (IE what are they lending?) or true borrowers actually are (what are they borrowing?) in the ultimate analysis. Well, in fact, the 'lender' is the issuer themselves, and they are not compelled to call any (monetary) loans in ever with the effect that a so-called 'capital account' exists somewhere which is claimed to be or said to be what the banking system owes, and what governments owe in absolute terms (not yearly or 'current account' obligations).

So what this in the end means, is that the system has been corrupted and is a corrupt one, in which only those ever smaller groups 'at the top' as it were - of the political system, effectively - sequester themselves off from any obligations to return anything they attain (steal) and so they are the only ones who can indulge themselves in listening to the siren singing of materialism.

Which you and I cannot, or at least, ought not, to do.

The thoughtless lusting of the rich...

But can we get ourselves into a place where we too are immune from the ludicrous forces of a delusional 'economic and currency system?'

To achieve that, we must have liquidity and perhaps also an in-flowing of revenue - that overcomes the rate of growth of nominal debt and the rate of decline in the spending power of dollars.

There is a point to us thinking about wines (or cognacs or at the margin, even whiskeys) here. These are commodities after a fashion -, they can be held and they can be stored for a duration; and they can also be sold.

Yet at the same time it is not easy to arrange each of those steps at all, to end up with the desired result as a certainty.

Yes they can be sold but only to an ever-narrowing market at the top. And these guys are not going to buy anything from just any old outsider, at least not in such a way that you can be guaranteed of a sale whenever you want it.

To overcome the rate of decline in purchasing power of the currency (yes, this is virtually of any currency in the world today) you require to get eight times your capital (on paper) at the time when the present system collapses catastrophically, which will be whenever central banks are forced to revert to a realistic pricing of capital regime.

Remember, the true cost of capital is a function of the exponent of debt (the debt coefficient in the equation - which is exponential at this point) in the currency system.

You don't drink this! It's soap.
Glycerine soap.
And hey! You don't eat it either.

When Powell last week kept rates on 'hold,' he seemed to have forgotten completely what all ratings agencies have recently said about the US government and its economy and money - which is namely, that they all downgraded the credit rating. The currency is riskier, the government is a riskier borrower and the economy is also riskier. These things are all true and in spades.

So once we accept that governments and central banks are actively engaged in suppressing price discovery on precious metals, then we are left with only the fluctuating but nevertheless real marginal utility facets of the trading topography: oil, and vanity and personal indulgence markets which of course, pertain more and more so, only to the top end.

Not without reason do legends tell of Roman senators and Roman dictators dying of either suicide or assassination in their vineyards.

Wine is a thing useful to the ordinary and lusted after by the intemperate wealthy. 

Down here we are extremely fortunate to be the beneficiaries of the continuing wealthy middle classes and politburo chieftains of Beijing's China - all of which either come down here to visit seemingly as 'tourists' or 'buy in' back home, the local Australian produce; the seafood, the wheat, the wine...

Bill Smith and myself and at least two others from the actual wine-making world, will be working on a 'white paper' - a new discussion paper with some details about how with a very little amount of opening capital, it will be possible to profit very meaningfully indeed, while at the same time the rest of the world is going to hell economically-speaking as well as in terms of politically and socially.

It will take at least several days, and probably more than a week to produce.

With Lowering Dollar Exchange Values

I'm afraid the reality is that when a national currency goes down in value - well, it is going down!

And it goes down because it is less valuable. Not because its domestic economy is strong and things are great, and 'inflation is beaten.' It goes down because things are bad.

And when it goes down imports cost more and so inflation rises some more.

Liquidity now is more a factor to do with relative flows and not completely just some concept about immediate exchange capability of a money token. 

Takes some guts to wear
the red shoes in the middle there.

With that aspect in mind it is possible to say that the main problem today is liquidity. There is a significant deterioration in the ability of the Federal Reserve to attain continuous pro rata liquidity when it sells whatever it has to sell to get the currency to buy up Treasury Notes against the market tendency.

So when the media says 'the market is up' (by which they mean to say the DJIA Index number is higher; thus that equities are 'up'), the truth is they are not relatively speaking up at all but that in lesser value dollars a certain nominal 'price' was made up to give the illusion of positive direction.

Profits are in fact lower, sales are steadily falling, returns to shareholders are meager or non-existent and it is not safe to buy into equities right now.

Because everyone has this idea that investment is about trading numbers on screens and moving in and out of various positions, there isn't any real investment actually going on.

Nobody in their right mind would spend money buying shares hoping to get no returns! ...Plus a declining overall value of their capital in exchange terms.

But because in fact people are spending money via computer screens to chase numbers pretending that this is 'investing,' then the next truth to face is that volatility is bound to bring losses. Risk is always defined as volatility (reaching to 100% volatility = 100 losses). And a sudden 500 point move so-called 'upwards' in the Dow = extreme volatility which is based on no underlying production and sales facts which can support such moves.

So where do we go to from here?

Well the basic reality is that the dollar is falling.

Takes some guts to wear an
Ascot tie these days...

It is not true that the economy is good, it is not true that stocks are exhibiting growth, it is not true that companies are making profits and it is true on the contrary, that capital prices are now exclusively an expression of the coefficient of debt.

And debt today is too large of a multiple of real underlying inflows of money, and besides, that 'money' is in any case dropping in exchange value steadily.

What we are looking at is a situation in which the players are all going to self-destruct if they don't do something dramatic and do it very fast.

But they won't do anything.

You can't just 'magically' keep the dollar up like you can 'magically' enable a delusional zeitgeist when it comes to equity markets.

The fact that market leaders chose to make insane lunatic decisions to manufacture a sudden rise in equities this week means that they have created two serious channels of volatility: one being the Dow Jones Industrial Averages Index itself, and the other in the currency both ways - down because of the dollar's instant reaction to the interest rate decision, and then potential up with extreme turn-around-on-a-dime volatility if the government and/or the Fed try to do something next to prop up the falling dollar.

Drama pic of a good car.

Don't play around in highly volatile markets driven by irrational central bank and government policies; get out.

Winter is coming...

Not - 'rates are going to be higher for longer,' but winter is coming and it is going to be colder and longer and deeper than anyone knows.

The sooner you wake up to the fact that human people exist in a field - some inside very negative and even 'dead' energy fields, and some inside of alive, actually living fields of energy and pure life - the sooner you will see how to handle the problematic nature of today's mainstream social and also political, world; and be able to come up with your own personal solutions and the ways and means to achieve absolute success and meaningful material results.

This is a live version of what was basically a studio piece to begin with, and part of a studio album always intended to be just a studio album but then, there was too much of a living field going on for that to have remained stuck in such a narrowly-defined performance avenue:

  

Searching Without Disappointment

This is an important post...

But f-i-rst - one of our friends, Lachie K., is about to make a visit to Europe: going for several weeks each to Rome, Florence and Venice.

Lachie - in Florence (Firenze) there is the oldest pharmacy in the world, the Santa Maria Novella Pharmacy. Do not come back without going there!

Now, back to the normal program.

Rich kid, Lachie. This is not his house,
but it is like his house.

LOL

Whether it is in the pursuit of some scientific objective via pure research that has no certain outcome, or whether it is a deep religious conviction that drives someone farther and farther into some misty territory of the mind and of the spiritual sensitivities, ultimately one either attains a hoped-for objective, or else one dies at last in the truth, at least, of a knowledge of the error of one's path if not of one's journey.

To seek via an authentic scientific method, is never a totally wasted endeavor. Because if a final decisive truth is discovered that a certain hypothesis is definitely not true, then this is of course a scientific success not a failure at all.

When it comes to ideologies and religious matters though, one is faced with a slightly different variable, namely, that the basis of internal satisfaction is not exactly to do with (some) particular defined truth as such a thing is able to be confined in a laboratory for endless repetitions thereby establishing its veracity to the faithless mind expecting failure and defeat.

For it seems that 'Cosmic' truth or truths matter to the seeker only insofar as they can meet internal and highly personal bars of human individual feeling, not lifeless equations separate from the very human observer.

And yet, it is almost necessarily the case that here is the place where actual truth is more important, more critical -, and self-honesty completely and utterly indispensable; because there are too many ways to defraud oneself in sensory matters...

The oldest pharmacy in the world
Lachlan.

In other words, the outcome may feel right, yet it may not be right.

There are cults in Northern India, to do with Shiva, and in these cults, the standard practice is to imbibe heroin or other powerful narcotic substances. In the end, the cult practitioner may certainly feel that they are 'touching the face of god' - and nobody at an objective distance from this feeling and sensation will agree that the subject is really touching any divine living being's face.

Our good friend Lachie, whom we spoke of first here, might also go to some Florentine cathedral and feel in there a sensation of something 'sacred' and 'holy' and he would not have been imbibing anything stronger than some remnant wisps of incense and candle-wax, but still it will not mean that he is experiencing anything more unusual than the effects of particular kinds of architecture. Hitler's architect Albert Speer achieved as much with his stadiums and official government buildings.

This all circles back to this question of the Theodicy of god - why He, She, It, or They, permit the existence of evil.

Evil is a thing however, the nature of which only exists within some framework of a sufficiently advanced consciousness being involved, and is not something with any separate objective or mathematical existence apart from the feelings and thoughts of sentient beings who are able to apprehend it as the product of dynamic cause-and-effect functions where that sentience has adjudged a qualitative scale of beneficence and maleficence and the potential existence of an intangible spectrum of such polarity.

There is only one system of human thinking which provides an objective format along which pathway one is able to 'search' or to seek out, an ultimate result. This is the proposition that there are objective, virtually (or in fact really) mathematical, irreducible elements behind all of material reality, and that the dynamic interplay of those elements is what the reality of the Universe is, including that sentience itself also has irreducible (thereof) minimum core elements, the dynamic interplay of which becomes the equations or the formulae if you will, of moral and philosophical outcome (assessment by that sentience as to those things' status of qualitative 'benefit'). 

One of the best coffee places in
Firenze, Lachlan.

When you proceed along this path, you will end up at the stage where it becomes clear that whilst much that is sentient is able to formulate for itself, what seems good to it, individually, beneficial to it without direct reference to any other -  not much at all is as readily able to 'see' itself in all or any other external units of sentience; which is why ideologies and religions that become expressed as political practices and domination-centric or also self-elimination practices that are socially enforced (the correct way to put this is 'societal-ly' enforced but there is no real English word 'societal-ly'), cause evil.

Neither can a person reach to any 'ultimate satisfying objective moral reality' without passing first through the shared multiple sentience point, yet nor can one who has gone past there and reached actual final reality, go back and 'convince' anyone who is still living as a sentient island using 'proof and evidence...'

BECAUSE ALL SUCH PROOF IS ONLY AVAILABLE TO ABSOLUTE SHARED SENTIENCE.

We have an example of such a 'thing' though, that is - we have an example in physics and material reality, of compound location.

It is found in nature in the thing known as 'time crystals.' These are not crystals like you will imagine bits of glass and gems and so on, but lattice structures that hold together, but whose atoms interchange - rotate constantly - but in exactly the same structural positions on each discrete pulse, making the whole thing 'solid' and having structural and material integrity yet possessing real internal movement and cycles.

Hannah Arendt, the German-American historian, in discussing the nature of evil, in context of Adolf Eichmann the Nazi official said this: "...an inability to think from the standpoint of somebody else."

"And the Devil took Him up to a very high
place, and said: All the kingdoms of the world
I will give you, for they are mine."
And they are that to this day.
Except the time is running short.

And again: "His motive was to diligently advance his career in the Nazi bureaucracy."

I would place a stress on the word 'diligently' in our modern times, because you will see it used over and over by academia today, by politicians, by accountants, and by promoters of the orthodoxy of society as it stands today - and you will be able to note how each of the people using that word and those kinds of ideas, are unable to see past themselves. Anyone familiar with, for one good example, the life and career of the UK top spy at MI5 for decades, Stella Rimington, will be able to detect the reflected values of this 'modern' vogue of society and how she is at pains to critique other people from out of some strata of academia, sometimes treating them positively and often negatively with the implied meaning of her own competitive worth.

'Productivity' not production; 'diligence' not success.

The self-honesty of all of these minds is literally non-existent.

The Pope is not self-honest.

Hamas is not self-honest.

And ultimately no one who cannot produce a 'god,' a 'Jehovah on the Mountain,' or a return of Isa ibn Maryam (there are many 'al Mahdi's') - is being self-honest; and yet all of them will cut your throat.

You do not need drugs to see god or to 'touch the face of God.' 

All you need is to be able to live in another person's place.

This is also Florence, but it is not
the same Florence, Lachlan.
No, wait a minute...
Might be the same Florence...
Not sure...

Granted, I myself would not live in just any other person's place...

But that is not a condition. The condition is not that 'I' need to be able to be in all of the useless derelicts of the world's sentience location (aka 'see things from their personal ego perspective').

And it is certainly not that you or I ought to be jumping into the sentience spot of deliberately selfish and self-involved people.

If you 'search' as a Protestant or a Catholic or a Muslim or a standard mainstream Hindu or a Buddhist you will come to nowhere in the end. In the existential end, you will die; you will be dead.

If you search as the Pentagon for ET Aliens you could also get a slap in the face first while you're at it on the long road to nowhere.

We often forget to observe how complicated, how immense, how teeming - the Universe actually is.

It's also a hierarchy.

It doesn't matter what Stella Rimington thinks about how 'high up' she is. Same goes for anyone at the Pentagon today.

You can lie to yourself - and people like those lie to themselves continuously - but you will still end up where most humans end up, which is dead, and buried.

Therefore step one is stop lying to yourself. ...If that's what you are doing.

You need to, absolutely do need to be able to, place yourself in others' shoes.

All the way in.

Not part the way in.

You see, here is a pay-off for you in this: if someone goes ahead, becomes super-advanced, is literally let us propose, some kind of sentient being light-years evolved into the future, for sure they will care for weaker beings, but those on the path that is a shared path with them.

And they will reach back - to you, maybe.

And pull you forward. 

And the number one best way to ensure that it happens, is for you to start out doing the same kind of mind-set approach to the life all about you...

Yes life is difficult these days on this planet, in this world. But it doesn't have to be.

The 'problem of evil' literally doesn't exist for those who have advanced into the future beyond the kind of 'stage of evolution,' let's call it, of the people who characterize the human world here today. The problem of evil is a problem that is existentially true only where there are selfish entities.

All of material reality is a set of profiles, a complex pattern of sine curves, Gaussian waves; there is a 'right-hand side.' There is 'ultimately advanced sentience.' And you, you as yet still ordinary human, are not it.

There is ultimately advanced sentience because it is an existential logical necessity of material nature by the Gauss Curve. You don't need any 'evidence' - or any other evidence - for the fact. What you do need to do is live and act on the basis that since it is true, well then you'd better start complying with the frikkin' rules! Otherwise you're never going to see any Aliens. Why would they let themselves be seen?

...By spiritual criminals. Human beings are spiritual criminals. All of them.

When you go to a judge, in a court, to seek justice - you are going to a spiritual criminal who is a self-liar.

That is how come there are wars and people get killed. This is all just a place on the Gauss Curve.

So where will you search so that you will not be disappointed? Now don't lie about it.

Not some future time to come where 'all will be revealed.' Not some threat or promise beyond the now horizon.

Not some place where it feels powerful and sacred because the architecture was from a more cultured past.

Not some place where you feel a part of a group because there are a lot of other people there doing what you are doing.
