“If you can remotely detonate a pager then you can remotely detonate a cell phone.”
Nope!
Lithium batteries do not detonate. In detonation all the energy stored up within a chemical compound is released at the same instant. If lithium batteries were capable of doing this then they would be too dangerous for consumer use.
High explosives like PETN and Semtex will detonate. It is highly likely that these pagers were doctored by Mosad to contain a small amount of high explosive along with a stimulant (detonator) of some kind that could be triggered by a special command sent to the pager.
I had the afternoon off the other day and spent most of it, with a few interruptions, watching that Eric Weinstein interview by Chris Williamson. I always enjoy listening to his brother, Bret, but did not know much about Eric, so decided to take a look. I was not disappointed.
I loved his directness, as he was unafraid to flatly disagree with the host on many issues. This was refreshing from the usual “let’s all agree on whatever shit it say” lovefest that interviews often become. He also appears to feel deeply about things and events, and found it difficult at times to maintain composure. I don’t know how he made it through the story of the Vietnamese musician. I could not have done it.
And yes, he certainly has an axe to grind with the gatekeepers of “the science”, which is not science, but politics in disquise. As do we all. Like the cartoon recently posted:
If you didn’t like learning about Fake News, just wait until you hear about Fake Science and Fake History.
I was surprised he did not have a better background when the UFO topic came up, but then one can’t be an expert on everything. We must choose where and when to spend our valuable time in life. Even for a genius like Eric, quite a bit of research is needed before the clear picture starts to form. Especially, for a long-suppressed topic like UFOs, whose secrecy, it was reported by a Canadian scientist, was held higher than the H-bomb.
Overall, I was deeply impressed with his depth and passion, and enjoyed the interview.
“Someone also warned that the propaganda campaign does not actually need to convince people to vote for her. It only has to convince people that she is a credible candidate — enough to give the Democrats enough cover to steal the election.” – Boogaloo yesterday
I never really believed that the DNC was crazy enough to put Kamala forward as their presidential hopeful, always thinking that she was just a placeholder, while Hillary worked levers behind the scenes so that she could be wheeled out during the height of the convention coup strapped to a handcart like Hannibal Lecter.
But Boogaloo is right. With the captured media and fake polling, all they need do is to create the illusion that Kamala is a viable candidate, that the race is close, and their ballot switching/stuffing operation can do the rest. Americans are being prepped for another steal.
I must keep reminding myself that this is a globalist operation. That those calling the shots are playing for all the marbles. What is a stolen election compared to throwing an entire nation, like Ukraine, into the meat grinder of war with its destruction, misery, and death? Wars, psyops, assassinations, bioweapons, nukes, nothing is off the table for these guys.
“And in the 2022 midterm elections, the predicted Trump landslide failed to eventuate – with voters refusing to elect candidates endorsed by Trump who falsely and foolishly claimed that Biden had stolen the 2020 election. Trump is still touting this lie – this may appeal to the more ignorant of his voting base,”
The two lines above are enough to categorize Graham Hryce as a 24-carat shill, not that I hadn’t already made that conclusion after the first paragraph of his
DNC press release… er journalistic article. Almost every sentence reeks with bias like an over-cologne’d teenager on his first date.Even a blind man could see that the 2020 election was stolen, and that the same techniques were used to limit the DNC/globalist power loss in the 2022 midterms. The blind can be very intelligent, clever, and insightful; however, Mr. Hryce has an even more dreadful disability: along with being an unprincipled shill, he is also moron.
But a lofty moron, worthy of 10’s if not 100’s of subscribers. Far superior to the “more ignorant” segment of Trump voters who still believe that the 2020 election was stolen, as opposed to his just plain ol’ ignorant voter base – aka Hillary’s deplorables.
@zerosum – with respect to your definition of Noblesse Oblige …
Below is a scene from the Jane Austen film of Emma whose message always strikes me to the heart. It is also an example of true friendship, where one submits to a deserved upbraiding for a lapse in judgement or bad behavior, and true tears of regret and self-condemnation can heal the soul.
Although her novels leaned toward the romantic, Miss Austen was a master at displaying the follies and weaknesses of human nature through her various characters.
I remember watching a technical analysis of the PDF format birth certificate the White House posted on its web site way back when. Having some knowledge of file structure, the analysis I saw convinced me that the posted PDF version was a hastily constructed forgery created to silence the ‘birther’ sect that was making lots of noise in the media. However, it backfired and the posted forgery was just as hastily removed and memory holed.
Whenever the subject would come up in conversation, I would reference said analysis and state my belief that the posted birth certificate was a fake. That is when they would gasp and take a step back like I’d just announced I had leprosy.
It is almost impossible to reason with someone who has already been ‘snatched’ by media programming. They are no longer themselves; their minds have been infiltrated and they are unaware of it. All is well as long as they are surrounded by other pod people like themselves. But sadly, any that break with the media programming have this response to look forward to:
This is a shout-out to Ilargi and all the other contributors at TAE that devote precious hours of their time and energy in an effort to raise the consciousness of their fellow men.
I picked up the first season of Andor the other day on 4k Blu-ray. Never thought I’d be watching another Star Wars spinoff after Disney destroyed the brand, and have stayed away from it for many years. However, a few YouTube videos piqued my interest, so I did some more investigating before popping the green for Andor.
I have to say that this series is well written and well acted, and at a level that makes the last 40 years of the Star Wars franchise look like Saturday morning cartoons. It has several subplots that examine what it’s like to live life and eventually push back against an all-controlling Empire, along with the psychology of Empire believers who use its authoritarian structure as a ladder for improving their social status and personal power. Like V, the Hunger Games, and others, its messages are pertinent to our era.
Interesting that you bring this up… I passed over Nick Pope’s video a few times, knowing that he was a lightweight in the UFO community with not much to say. Just as with the US’s Project Blue Book, British MoD doesn’t put their brightest bulbs at the UFO Desk. But the title of his YouTube video finally got to me and I took the bait… regrettably.
After about 30 minutes I finally hit the STOP button. He was jumping all over the place and trying to flesh-out the alluring title of his presentation with nonstop inanities. It was a waste of my time. I gather from your comment that you had a similar response.
Regarding your ‘parasite’ theory…
Agreed, things are being directed from a very high level that operates in the shadows. I’m often reminded of the biblical quote from Paul, wondering if the same dark powers that operated 2 millenia ago are still at the helm today:
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
Based on my current level of awareness, I could easily answer “Yes!”
I find myself cringing whenever I hear statements about how this or that leader is a moronic bozo that should be thrown out of office. Of course they are! But who put them there? Not the voters, but someone higher up the food chain. Just listen to Biden, Trudeau, Von der Leyen, Blinken, PM Kallas, etc. They’re imbeciles, “empty suits” as we used to call them. They’re “frontmen”, put there to carry out someone else’s plan and take the heat as payment for being elevated to high office. If any one of them actually had a plan of their own or operated from a set of deeply held principles, they would never be put in office. I’ve often referred to them here as Manchurian Candidates. It’s clear that higher forces put these so-called leaders in the driver seat, give them the map to hell, while we passengers scream for help out the windows.
So, I’m left wondering, who or what is this parasite? And are they or it autonomous, or do they carry out a higher-order plan based on national karma or some other set of principles that we are not privy to at our level of scurrying animals looking for food, sex, and shelter, aka “useless eaters”?
“Speaker Johnson: Ukraine Should Use US Weapons on Russian Territory (Antiwar)”
“Let Ukraine Freely Strike Russia With Western Arms – NATO Chief (RT)”What’s with this latest NATO gambit: Giving their Ukrainian proxy regime “permission” to strike deep into Russian territory?
Another escalation, of course. One that will certainly get Paul Craig Roberts squirming in this office chair again. Maybe in the end he will be proven right with his continuous urging for Russia to end the war quickly with overwhelming force, instead of allowing this game of slow escalation that could one day end in global thermonuclear annihilation.
But I don’t think so. The purpose of this latest escalation is to try and provoke an overreaction by the Russians, thereby triggering all the anti-Soviet fears that lie latent in the Western psyche. So far, however, all the arm-waving and paranoiac anti-Russian propaganda pumped out by western media has been ineffective in rallying support for the war. Russia has been winning on all fronts, especially the PR front, which has long been dominated by the West. Since the beginning of the SMO, Russia has been perched nicely on the moral high ground, matching each escalation with the appropriate response. No crazy threats, no foaming at the mouth with bulging veins, no pounding of shoes on the podium. Nothing but controlled professionalism, both militarily and diplomatically.
NATO is desperate to provoke an overreaction, but I don’t believe that Russia will give it one, just a slow grind until NATO comes apart at the seams from its own corruption and psychopathologies.
I love Sasha and could kiss her right on the lips! She’s one of my Covid “countermeasure” rock stars.
“The only remaining question for me is which countries still retain their independence. Russia is pushing back against global government policies, I assume China is also not in the deal, also Iran. But what about the vast majority of countries in places like Africa and South America? It will be interesting to see who is global and who is independent and how do the independents keep their nations.”
Bingo! Just look at the official “enemy” list and it will tell you who is pushing back. The rest are either already onboard with the agenda, non-nuclear vassals, or on a tight debt leash. Only a nuclear power can stand in the way of a global takeover. One that has the capability of overturning the gameboard so that everyone loses. Russia is the big enchilada.
However, it is my opinion that the global cabal has already lost. Globalism has been exposed as a giant fraud, a Trojan Horse. The WEF is now radioactive, Brussels too, and Israel just stepped in it bigtime.
The West has gone Luney Tunes with their Dementia Joe, Adolf Trudeau, Covid tyranny, transgenderism, microaggressions, and Drag Queen story hour for the kiddies. The culture once envied and aspired to is now being vomited up by the rest of the world.
Too many curtains have been pulled back. The world cannot unsee what has been seen the past few years. A multipolar world of mutual cooperation and development is the new paradigm that everyone is flocking around. The vampire globalists are on the ropes and only need a stake in the heart to put them down.
“Yet other interpretations are possible.” – Noirette
Yes, it’s obvious that western nations are being overrun with non-assimilating immigrants against the wishes of local populations. Is it because factories are running out of unskilled labor? Probably not, as most of these jobs have already been offshored. Is it because whitey isn’t birthing enough tax donkeys to keep the system afloat? Then why not just give them financial incentives to have children like they do in other countries?
I’ve been pounding this drum for years, (and so far, I’ve not heard a better explanation from anyone). My take: there is already a shadow global government that wants to be legitimized, but this can only happen when nationalism has been destroyed. And since the strength of nationalism rests on a common mythos and culture, these must be attacked mercilessly until they crumble. Notice their multi-pronged strategy: subvert the family, culture, religion, education, gender roles, morality, etc. And pay NGO’s to import as many non-assimilating foreigners as possible.
That is why they hate Putin so much. Somehow, through the strength of his character, he has been able to unite the various Asian cultures that span the Russian Federation under a common mythos. If the globalists could only get that “shepherd” out of the way the sheep could be scattered – the Federation could be broken up and more easily exploited and controlled. He’s the William Wallace that fought back against foreign enslavement after the USSR dissolved. They want him dead.
That is also why they’ve worked tirelessly to destroy Trump, because his MAGA message flies in the face of their goals to destabilize the US. And MAGA resonates strongly with the remnants of American culture.
Oh, and by the way, they want you dead too, but first things first.
More on Ed Dowd and his data analysis…
I hope my earlier comments did not come off as sterile and heartless. Working with statistical analysis can often feel that way, talking about standard deviation and other mathematical terms. But what does the data published by Ed Dowd’s team really represent?
It represents people that were mostly cut down in the prime of life. People that had jobs and families who normally would have lived a full life because they were healthy and successfully employed. It represents death, tragedy, and grief. Missing parents, missing children, missing loved ones. Smashed hopes and dreams. And for the disabled it represents adapting to a life of dependency, rather than productivity. Behind each digit is a life ruined, and a family traumatized!
Ed Dowd continued…
I like when he talks about the Enron debacle, how he was advising his investors to “get out!”, yet other analysts would come to him and say that there’s no problem, “we talked with the officers of the company and they assured us that everything is fine.” He learned how company officers would double-down and triple-down on their lies, even while they were taking them away in cuffs.
They can’t be trusted. Corporate annual reports can’t be trusted. Only raw data can be trusted. Ed and his associates have done a great service by reporting their findings about the significant rise in death and disability resulting from the mandatory Covid gene therapy injections.
Why aren’t his findings on the front page of the NYT? The same reason that the Warren Commision buried the truth about the Kennedy assassination, because core institutions would take a bullet to the head and the whole system would unravel, upsetting decades of planning and work to establish the New World Order – a global government.
Thanks for sharing your inspirational discovery, Phoenix!
Ed Dowd is someone that I’ve paid close attention to over the plandemic psyop. I like that he came out of Wall Street, so understands how to separate PR (lies) from facts (real data). And by data, I’m talking about stats which are relatively clean from manipulation, trustworthy data. I also like that he had his “come to Jesus” personal crisis and is now firmly on the side of Team Truth and Team Humanity. I’d be very surprised to see him deviate from his new path now that he has seen and experienced the light. I wish him every success and admire the work his is currently doing.
Ten standard deviations!
Neo: “Oh, shit!”
Morpheus: “Yesss!”747 – An interesting thought experiment.
To keep the 747 from moving forward to achieve lift the conveyer belt would somehow have to absorb ¼ million lbs of thrust from the 747’s four engines. If it can do this, the plane will sit still, otherwise it takes off.
I certainly sympathize with citizenx’s rant today, but find it difficult to condemn all those that Hillary labelled “stupid” and “easy to manipulate.” This applies not only to leftist libs, but includes much of the human population. It wasn’t that long ago that I myself was handing out free covid masks at the grocery store, thinking that I was ahead of the curve and doing a service to my fellow man. At the time, if someone had told me that this was part of some grand global scheme to depopulate the planet, I would not have believed them. I already knew that those in power were lying, evil, murdering pricks, but global democide was a bridge too far. It took time, and a lot of evidence for me to come around.
Just who are we dealing with, then? Adults operating at the level of children, who are conditioned to look toward authority figures and daddy government for direction. I cast some of the blame upon the sick culture in which we live, which promotes this dependency and has most of its ideals 180 degrees from where they should be: “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”
The rest of the blame rests on us. It’s who we are. Unless otherwise educated by the school of hard knocks, we’re all pretty much rubes right off the turnip truck, wandering around in the big city, easy prey for the nearest pick-pocket or con man (politician). And just because we got scooped up in the Hunger Games, does not mean that the other districts are our enemies. They are just as much a victim as you and I are. As Katniss was often instructed, “Remember who the real enemy is.” This is good advice for us as well.
You must realize that stories like the Hunger Games are inspired from above and contain a powerful message for our time. They are not just entertainment. The Matrix, V for Vendetta, and many others are given for our instruction, to prime our understanding, to help wake us up.
Our enemies are not our family, friends, and neighbors, but those who sit at the top of the power pyramid pulling the strings, along with henchmen like Hillary and Fauci – useful psychopaths who have no problem carrying out mass murder for their overlords.
People around the world are finally starting to wake up, but it is a terribly slow process. Now, would be a good time for the gods to plop one of Stanley Kubrick’s monoliths on the national mall to help us over our next evolutionary hurdle.
“Just thinking,
I called the covid scam and the collapse of the west,
And I am a guy who knows nothing.
What are we going to do?
My family does not even believe me.
How can we fix this?”The majority will never believe the covid scam until it is reported on the 6:00 o’clock news. They are hopelessly embedded in the Matrix, the group think of the masses, the herd. Not even if their 16 yr old son drops dead on the basketball court from a heart attack.
And the authorities will never admit to what they’ve done, no matter the mountains of suppressed evidence. It’s too big a scam. Too global in nature. It would mean the downfall of most governments, their respective health institutions, and Big Pharma with all its media spending and bribery payouts. The cost of coming clean is too high. Not only that, they still want to depopulate the planet, so why bring this to everyone’s attention by fessing up?
I sympathize with the feelings of isolation that result from having a different perspective than family and friends. Been living this way for many years. You eventually get used to it and find ways to maintain associations with people you care about (or must live with).
How can we fix this?
Fight asymmetrically against the Matrix by causing cognitive dissonance whenever and where ever you can, while taking every opportunity of pulling the establishment’s pants down around their ankles with embarrassing internet memes. Destroy their legitimacy!! Make them a laughing stock!! Expose their hypocrisy, their corruption!!
After all, we’re at war.
re: Ibogaine
Probably does work. I read some about it back in late ’80s. Very effective, but was said to induce a terrifying 3-day quasi-shamanic journey into your soul.
I took an Ibogaine journey about 10 years ago, but rarely talk about it, as things of this nature are foreign to my circle of acquaintance. I even withheld most of my experience from the debriefing circle afterward, as most of the other attendees seemed to be either detoxers, drug experimenters, or curiosity seekers. I was the old man that the others wondered what the hell was doing there.
Months before I had read an article on Ibogaine that piqued my curiosity, so researched and thought about, then eventually decided to take the risk. It was at a time when my inner work felt like it had stalled out and I was looking for a breakthrough.
Even after all the research, the experience itself was nothing like I expected. What followed was a 30-hour journey into a subtle world that is normally hidden from sight, full of endless life forms that range from the most disgusting to the beautifully sublime. The idea of accomplishing any inner work on myself was quickly brushed aside as I spent the entirety of the time trying to deal with the contents of this new sight.
I won’t bore you with all the details, but let’s just say that, once again, I discovered that certain concepts read about in Yoga or esoteric texts are not just imaginative fantasies, but have a concrete reality. I experienced the “light in the head”, which is probably what enabled the new sight. The drug, it seems, has the ability to stimulate the forces that flow through the nervous system. However, none of the other attendees reported such an effect, some even expressed disappointment that nothing had happened. They had paid to take a ride on the Hallucinogenic Rollercoaster, but ended up on the merry-go-round.
When it was all over, I discovered that not only was my physical energy spent (I could barely stand), but my nervous energy was depleted as well. Luckily, I had booked a room nearby, otherwise I would not have been able to find my way home. Everyone else scattered, while I sat in my car wondering how I was going to find my nearby room. It was as if my field of awareness had contracted into a small bubble just around my person. Everything else “out there” I could not reach or see in my mind’s eye.
By some miracle I was able to find the nearby Inn, then fumbled around onsite until I found the registration room. Over the next few days I nursed myself back to health, finally reaching a point three days later when I felt I might be able to find my way back home.
I’m assuming that I eventually returned to my normal state, but that’s debatable.
If you will indulge me just one more movie reference, which I believe puts a nice bow on the theme started by jb-hb:
In the movie Thor (2011), Thor steps up to receive rulership over the Nine Realms, currently held by his father, Odin. But sadly, Odin sees that he is not ready to receive such power, since Thor is inflated with pride, vanity, and entitlement. He is also drunk on victory, as a result of the power of his hammer, Mjölnir (a symbol of force). Thor is still in the thralls of the childhood ego.
Odin, older and wiser, portrayed by Anthony Hopkins (no other actor could do the role justice), not only denies Thor the throne, but strips him of his current powers and casts him down to Earth.
Thor must learn to accept his new fate and take responsibility for it. Through suffering and torment his pride, vanity, and entitlement are reduced to ashes. He learns to love and care for others, eventually laying down his own life to save those around him. (His ordeals have transformed him – the difficult path is needed by most to purge the dominance of the childhood ego.)
At this climax of self-sacrifice, Odin steps in to restore Thor’s previous powers now that he is truly ready and worthy to rule the Nine Realms.
“These things are always better understood by humans through story and imagery. The test of Galadriel – offered The Ring. Able to ACTUALLY bring the things she would want to keep the same into stasis, not having to go to the Grey Havens and from thence across the sea, to not see the Elves fade out of Middle Earth. Power to dominate, rule, do anything, adored and worshipped, perfect grandiosity. But she manages to not take the ring.”
This motif was also expressed when Harry Potter broke the Elder Wand after defeating Voldemort. He rejected the path of power represented by the Elder Wand for the path of love – being content to accept his small role in the world as a father and husband.
Thank you jb-hb (and many others) for the quality of content you bring to this site.
“Do we not, in our worse moments, shy away from having to sacrifice, having to CHANGE even a little bit, feeling as though it would be like death? WHILE wishing for free impossible stuff? A reason you find “atheist materialist” leftist who are neither atheist nor materialist mucking around in tarot, wicca, manifestation, and so on. Trying to cast spells with language, with rituals.”
AKA the path of the black magician. Seeking power for the little me, the ego. Looking for a shortcut, a way around the difficult path.
“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”
What is the cure then?
Love – putting the happiness and welfare of others above oneself.
Tom Luongo’s got a new piece out today explaining why Tulsi Gabbard is the best choice for Donald Trump’s VP pick. I wholeheartedly agree with him and said the same last week during coffee clutch. She ticks off many boxes to form a unifying ticket, one that would be difficult to assail by the DNC dirty tricks team. They would only end up shooting themselves in the foot with a bigger caliber than normal.
The Supreme Court Resets the Game for Trump’s Vice-President
“Diagnosis: The problem is LIES. We do not have a COHESIVE system of thought and understanding, between people, in our culture, or IN OURSELVES, because they’ve injected 70% lies into every minute of every day for lifetimes. …”
Yes, yes, yes, and yes! Jeez, here I go again…
Which is why I continually beat people over the head with all the warn out Matrix movie references – the false world pulled over our eyes, the control system put in place by the powerful few in order to keep us turning the cranks that generate a vast river of wealth and power that flows right back to our jailers.
Not only the LIES of commission, but also the LIES of OMISSION – knowledge that is purposely withheld and suppressed that would allow humanity a fighting chance to get their bearings in life, their culture, the world, and finally the cosmos. It would provide the GPS system for navigating through life in a closer relationship with natural law. People would gain PERSPECTIVE – the ability to locate themselves in the vastness of life so as to find an appropriate place to make their contribution according to their own talents (aka Reality). Imagine that world and society.
Even if we swam in truth from day one, there would still be basic human weakness to contend with. We all have our temptations waiting in the background for the right circumstances to bring them to the surface. However, if early training also included extensive exercises in self-knowledge, many of the pitfalls of life could be avoided.
Sure, I’d love to see the world transformed into a paradise, or at the very least be released from the bondage of ignorance and lies. As Neo found out, it is not especially pleasant to leave the Matrix and experience the Real World of desolation and suffering, and then wanting to help those around you only to be attacked by an Agent Smith who pops out of your closest friend whenever a system-installed tripwire is activated.
“Incidentally, you claim to be an atheist but you’re not going to be an atheist for long. Just because Con Men pimp and pump various “religions” of every description does not mean that there is no God. It just means that Con Men know what everybody is searching for and see “religion” as a means of making a quick buck and gain power by selling folks a ticket to the promised land that’s a “guaranteed” winner every time (when it ain’t).”k
I’ve heard it been said that charlatans, false prophets, megachurches, and the like act like a gauntlet to filter out all those who would only waste the time and be a burden to a true master. That allows him (or her) to focus on those students who are ready and would most benefit from direct instruction. Even if some that are still green in their development somehow make it past the gauntlet, they would quickly be repelled by getting metaphorically punched in the face every day – their egos would not be able to take the searing heat and dissection of their character.
Which reminds me of another quote from the same book as mentions the previous posts. Yes, Yogananda again, sorry:
“If you don’t like my words, you are at liberty to leave at any time,” Master assured me. “I want nothing from you but your own improvement. Stay only if you feel benefited.” For every humbling blow he dealt my vanity, for every tooth in my metaphorical jaw he knocked loose with stunning aim, I am grateful beyond any facility of expression. The hard core of human egotism is hardly to be dislodged except rudely. With its departure, the Divine finds at last an unobstructed channel. In vain It seeks to percolate through flinty hearts of selfishness.
That’s not to say that the hurdles we face in searching for spiritual truth are cruel and demonic. It often seems so, but when you look at the bell curve of humanity, how many really are ready to hear and conform their lives to higher laws? To walk the knife’s edge? To wander the in the desert for 40 years – endure the dark night of the soul and have the hell burned out of them? And please don’t crowd and cut in line.
So, where do they go for instruction, one which is suited for them? Organized religions, megachurches, and the likef, and get stuck in the fly papers of dogma and external authorities in their wanderings.
“I definitely do not deserve a place elsewhere.”
Same here. I’m reminded of another quote from the same book… if you’ll bear with me:
From transient teachers of my earlier life I had imbibed a few erroneous lessons. A chela, I was told, need not concern himself strenuously over worldly duties; when I had neglected or carelessly performed my tasks, I was not chastised. Human nature finds such instruction very easy of assimilation. Under Master’s unsparing rod, however, I soon recovered from the agreeable delusions of irresponsibility.
“Those who are too good for this world are adorning some other,” Sri Yukteswar remarked. “So long as you breathe the free air of earth, you are under obligation to render grateful service. He alone who has fully mastered the breathless state* is freed from cosmic imperatives. I will not fail to let you know when you have attained the final perfection.”
“But I’m a fuckup.”
Yes, and I am king of the blockheads, who entered this world as a lazy, stubborn, selfish brute. Yet, I take joy in knowing that I get to build upon the experience gained through all the failures and the few successes from this life into the next. That nothing of value that I’ve managed to garner is ever lost.
Just when you think that things have leveled out, TAE erupts with another glorious plume of ideas to chew on and stimulate the imagination…
I gave up on the fear of getting bored with life many years ago when I discovered that I was just a puny little creature in a vast multi-dimensional universe of other life forms; although puny and insignificant, yet important and worthy of attention from above. Even a taste of this takes years to process and come to terms with before one stops jerking at the chain like a crazed dog trying to break free from bondage. From then on it is “What is my mission in this life?”, “Please light the way before me for I am blind.”, “How can I serve life though weak and flawed?”, “Teach me to love and grant me wisdom.”, “I am unworthy but grateful beyond words.”, etc. etc. etc.
When new faculties and perceptions begin to awaken in that block of wood that sits upon your neck and that shriveled heart within your breast, you realize that all is not set in stone, that some progress can be achieved in one lifetime, that effort and sacrifice are eventually rewarded, that the hunger and longing for a higher life is like a gravitational field that pulls down blessings from above – Not Oompa Loompas or Unicorns, but what is needed to move you forward. That life is an endless upward spiral from incarnation to incarnation with ever expanding abilities and perceptions. There is no death!
Does this sound boring?
So, what is earth life but a school in which you are continually forced to make choices, where you are given certain opportunities and challenges based on your level of development.
Do you feel like you’ve been overlooked? That your brilliance and gem-like qualities are being ignored by the higher powers? That you are ready to take your place in the heavenly halls, instead of dragging your body to work every day on this forsaken planet of woe? Then you should also be aware that nothing is hidden. Even your inner thoughts and motivations are well known. No one is overlooked, and everything hidden to our perceptions is open for inspection and scrutiny by those above.
Unlike here on earth, where one can advance in status based on fraud or connection, it is not so on the path of spiritual development (or whatever term one wishes to use for the evolutionary impulse). All qualifications must be met to advance, no cheating allowed. Assume you are always being tested to be found worthy and fit for what they rejoice in giving you. Prepare yourself.
Below is a quote from Yogananda’s Autobiography of a Yogi, the only ebook that Steve Jobs kept on his computer. I consider it more food for thought:
A few mornings later I made my way to Master’s empty sitting room. I planned to meditate, but my laudable purpose was unshared by disobedient thoughts. They scattered like birds before the hunter.
“Mukunda!” Sri Yukteswar’s voice sounded from a distant inner balcony.
I felt as rebellious as my thoughts. “Master always urges me to meditate,” I muttered to myself. “He should not disturb me when he knows why I came to his room.”
He summoned me again; I remained obstinately silent. The third time his tone held rebuke. “Sir, I am meditating,” I shouted protestingly. “I know how you are meditating,” my guru called out, “with your mind distributed like leaves in a storm! Come here to me.”
Snubbed and exposed, I made my way sadly to his side. “Poor boy, the mountains couldn’t give what you wanted.” Master spoke caressively, comfortingly. His calm gaze was unfathomable. “Your heart’s desire shall be fulfilled.”
Sri Yukteswar seldom indulged in riddles; I was bewildered. He struck gently on my chest above the heart.
My body became immovably rooted; breath was drawn out of my lungs as if by some huge magnet. Soul and mind instantly lost their physical bondage, and streamed out like a fluid piercing light from my every pore. The flesh was as though dead, yet in my intense awareness I knew that never before had I been fully alive. My sense of identity was no longer narrowly confined to a body, but embraced the circumambient atoms. People on distant streets seemed to be moving gently over my own remote periphery. The roots of plants and trees appeared through a dim transparency of the soil; I discerned the inward flow of their sap.
The whole vicinity lay bare before me. My ordinary frontal vision was now changed to a vast spherical sight, simultaneously all-perceptive. Through the back of my head I saw men strolling far down Rai Ghat Road, and noticed also a white cow who was leisurely approaching. When she reached the space in front of the open ashram gate, I observed her with my two physical eyes. As she passed by, behind the brick wall, I saw her clearly still.
…
Suddenly the breath returned to my lungs. With a disappointment almost unbearable, I realized that my infinite immensity was lost. Once more I was limited to the humiliating cage of a body, not easily accommodative to the Spirit. Like a prodigal child, I had run away from my macrocosmic home and imprisoned myself in a narrow microcosm.
My guru was standing motionless before me; I started to drop at his holy feet in gratitude for the experience in cosmic consciousness which I had long passionately sought. He held me upright, and spoke calmly, unpretentiously.
“You must not get overdrunk with ecstasy. Much work yet remains for you in the world. Come; let us sweep the balcony floor; then we shall walk by the Ganges.”
I fetched a broom; Master, I knew, was teaching me the secret of balanced living. The soul must stretch over the cosmogonic abysses, while the body performs its daily duties.
Sure, there is still a long way to go, but with each passing day I see more evidence on how far we have come over the past few years when there were only a few dissenting voices waving their arms in alarm about the advancing global techno-tyranny.
Just a couple quick examples: Today, we got to see Dr. Bret Weinstein talk about it openly to a roomful of nodding heads in Washington DC. I noticed that no SWAT team busted in to muscle him out the back door. And just a short while ago I listened to Greek vlogger Alex Christoforou from The Duran talk about how he really wants to get Tom Luongo on the show so that he can explain in more detail why the EU must keep the Ukraine war on track so that they can use Russia as a boogeyman to justify issuing war bonds. These bonds are needed, you see, to institute taxing power to keep the EU project from its impending debt implosion.
I see truth neutrons bouncing off other truth neutrons and a chain reaction building. Every effort made by the globalist cabal to keep the ignorant masses in their enslavement seems to boomerang. All their increasing ham-fisted attempts only jar more people from their hypnotic slumber. The lies are getting so far-fetched that the Matrix is gyrating uncontrollably like an unbalanced spin cycle. As more awaken and speak out, courage is bolstered in those who were once fearful.
No wonder they are in such a panic to get Skynet (AI controlled censorship) up and running. Not even their battalions of woke fact-checkers are currently enough to keep the masses under Big Brother’s thumb, not to mention that these hordes of entitled, blue-haired, authoritarians represent an unproductive cancerous cost overhead for Silicon Valley.
It is my belief that the whole process is happening in order to raise humanity to a new level of consciousness, since we currently find ourselves in a state where our technical advancement has far outstripped our moral advancement. This idea seems to be popping up in numerous places and is a good fit for the times we live in. This kind of “waking up” is not easy nor pretty. It is often gut wrenching, stretching one to the borders of sanity. The Gods of consciousness development must extract their price. Many of us here have gone through it, some quickly, others need more time, but if we succeed in breaking free from the current paradigm of unconsciousness, our descendants will be able to look back with wonder at the Dark Ages of the early 21st century.
“Also this week, the scandal of the century was re-kindled when alt-news reporters Taibbi, Shellenberger, and Gutentag filed the story of how Barack Obama and CIA Director John Brennan, with his chore girls, Avril Haines and Gina Haspel, cooked up the RussiaGate caper and fed it to the FBI, with a major assist from The New York Times, the WashPo, CNN, and other
useful idiotcoconspirator news media vectors.”There, fixed it.
I’m sure that Kunstler is aware that today’s media organizations are mostly staffed with political activists, not to mention heavily infiltrated by the many alphabet intel agencies; therefore, he should not be letting them off the hook by calling them “useful idiots” – a term commonly used to identify those who are unaware they are being manipulated for nefarious purposes.
As Herr Doktor often states, “words have meaning”.
Thanks, TAE Summary! I always enjoy your posts.
In other news, C.J. Hopkins has been acquitted by a Berlin court of posting “Nazi-promoting Tweets”.
Mask-Wearing German Judge Acquits CJ Hopkins In ‘Nazi-Promoting Tweets’ Case
Worth reading is CJ’s closing statement, which the judge dismissed as “ideological drivel”, yet it delivered an anti-fascist uppercut to the courtroom like Mike Tyson. With CJ’s final knockout blow the prosecution lay prostrate on the canvas, the referee counted to ten, and the gallery rose to its feet in applause.
