Rhosgobel Tent At TOT

[modwiz]

So, we have all been great people in some life or another. The kicker is, we don't have to live up to an idea we have of some other life. We have to live up to our imagination, right here and now. Who has the gumption?

I do. Who I was is not important to me. Who I am and what will be done is what matters. Not only to me but, anyone who might benefit. I have all the self-validation required from myself and Source and do not need past fame to to make me look better.

[Aragorn]

Thank you, PL!

Love the feel of the forum so far. So different than when I left. More like a tribe than a hierarchy.

(welcome) back! ;)

And yes, that's a pretty good description — we like referring to it as the Shire. ;) Be sure to check out this thread here (https://jandeane81.com/showthread.php/9607-Friendly-Gatherings-in-The-Shire). Alas, it has stagnated somewhat over the last couple of months, but it's similar in scope to Radagast's tent, albeit restricted to members only for privacy reasons. You are welcome to post to it, though, as are all of our members. :)

You will find that we've also completely reorganized the forum layout in your absence. There's a lot more versatility now, including some (members-only) entertainment that offers food for thought. ;) Oh, and we use encrypted connections now all across the board. :)

Hmmm, Shire. I like it! And thanks for the link...I completely missed it.

I called it 'tribe' because I believe we humans function best in smaller groups of perhaps 150 people or less. Deep within us (sometimes VERY deep within) is a desire to make connections with others as equals...no one greater than or less than anyone else in the tribe...all with a voice. Hierarchies are foreign and unsuited to our nature, but a good way for a few people to control the many.

Envisioning TOT as a Shire allows for anywhere from 1 to several tribes to gather and interact. Yep, works for me!

And having entertainment that offers food for thought? I didn't realize how hungry I was until now. Will do my best to feed others as well.

So, we have all been great people in some life or another. The kicker is, we don't have to live up to an idea we have of some other life. We have to live up to our imagination, right here and now. Who has the gumption?

Ooo, Ooo...me! Me! I have the gumption.

Being fully present in the moment is such a joy...why would anyone want to do otherwise?

In this moment I have a smorgasbord of choices. Each choice in our life/lives direct our path...sometimes winding...sometimes straight ahead...sometimes pausing just to enjoy the view, to rest, or to reflect on where we've come from and where we want to head next. Even when we stumble, each new moment we have the potential to become better, more loving, creative, joyful. It can be like a giant eraser allowing us to correct a mistake we may feel we have made. The options are endless!

I'm not who I was yesterday, nor am I who I will be tomorrow. Life is too short to waste by living in the past or trying to live up or down to who we may have been.

This moment is perfect in and of itself!

Human communication without faces is not how we are designed to communicate at a social level. Unambiguous language is very helpful when we use text. I know you have a sense of humor that is uniquely your own but, without seeing the eyes and hearing the tone, one can be left guessing to the intent of things.

If things roll out for me as I would like, a similar in a hillside home is what I would like. Insulation and good energy. Might skip the cage part. Ideally, when I leave my body they can just pile up stones at the door and leave my body there. Of course, we will have to get the intrusive gooberment out of our lives. That can come when people re-read and enact the US Constitution. Goobs are our servants. It's a job and we are their managers.

It goes without saying that we will have to learn how to self-manage first. A big hint is, know how you feel and then speak with logic. I still hear more emotional language than reason and emotions are best when felt by the person reacting and then understood for the message they bring.

Over at Avalon they have a thread titled "Terrorists or False Flag? - Manchester Bombing" Hmm:hmm:

This is a binary question. That is, either/or.

In this formula, terrorists = organic or naturally generated by rage/insanity, and false flag = staged, contrived, synthetic. But, what would we call terrorists put up to do something they want to do with help from undercover gooberment. What would we call that?

Another choice breaks binary thinking, which is how our brains have been trained.

So, when a question like the thread title at Avalon is written as it is, it demonstrates we are looking at these two choices only and hides in plain sight not only another possible answer but, perhaps the real answer.

Some food for thought.

[modwiz]

I really enjoy Miguel and his heretical humor.


heresy (n.)
"doctrine or opinion at variance with established standards" (or, as Johnson defines it, "an opinion of private men different from that of the catholick and orthodox church"), c. 1200, from Old French heresie, eresie "heresy," and by extension "sodomy, immorality" (12c.), from Latin hæresis, "school of thought, philosophical sect." The Latin word is from Greek hairesis "a taking or choosing for oneself, a choice, a means of taking; a deliberate plan, purpose; philosophical sect, school," from haireisthai "take, seize," middle voice of hairein "to choose,"

Thank you so much for saying that. These are all real tragedies and real attacks whether or not they're 'organic' as you say.

[Elen]

Thank you so much for saying that. These are all real tragedies and real attacks whether or not they're 'organic' as you say.

They are real attacks, and a lot of people are suffering around here, just like they did in Norway back in 2011. I can personally testify that a lot of people died and a whole Nation was affected, because EVERYBODY knew somebody that was either injured or killed, as they were young politicians from every jurisdiction all over the country. So thank you Dreamtimer and modwiz for your sensitivity in these matters...:smiley hug:

Wiz, It's a video of a young dude trying to impress a "hawt" blond, nearly naked chick! Whats wrong with that?

Not a fan of "Duality." My world is filled with many alternate paths. It extremely RARE to have only two choices.

This video reinforces the WWE Smackdown Deathmatch nature of Darth "Hat Man" and the Sith vs. the Blue-Birdy, kumbaya-singing, Mr Goodebar-friending Gaians.

I agree with the Orange Crotch-grabber on this one. Tons of evidence on data tampering by the Carbon-smoking, Gore-tex wearing, "Libtard" crowd.

None dare talk about the real reason for "Global Warming" being the Sun is heating up and getting more unstable. God forbid as then common folk might quit watching 'Keeping up with the Kardashians' or the latest on the Brady-Bündchens for a few moments and realized there is a serious issue at stake.

This is something we should know is part of the unfolding of this program. Seal says, truth, technology and equality. No freedom or liberty mentioned. Omissions can be more important than inclusions. Technology as an aspiration without freedom smells of dystopia to this Gaian based human.

Opinions and trolling, for whatever reason, fall into separate categories. If humor is is not funny then the wise will look for another way. Triggering, especially in written communications, is VERY counter-productive and becomes troll behavior.

Interview eh? Cosmic Emporium is not an interview, but a conversation. Let me query my partners and see how they feel about the idea.:hmm:

[modwiz]

I put out a call to former Tent participants to convene once again and allow our mirth and awe-tism to emanate into the forum and beyond. :wiz:

Sexism is the social construct. Not gender.

When I was growing up I wanted dolls AND erector sets (or legos). But it was still a "girls don't play with that" world for me. Having your femininity questioned sucks just as bad when you're female as it does when you're male having your masculinity questioned.

You didn't even talk about wife-abuse then. Domestic abuse against men was as real as unicorns.

Things are changing a lot and people are adjusting. In the Victorian era doctors couldn't even look at the female anatomy when they were treating them because it was sinful. And of course the female healers had all been burned. No female doctors allowed.

We're still working some stuff through as an ever-changing society. People don't like change, but it is constant.

Obvious change of direction, I also would love to see Eelco in the tent again, and 777, and Seikou, and so many others, but while I do doubt in the occurrence of the reappearance of all the friendly faces that once frequented the thread and the forum there is actually only one I would not wish to see, that that will remain unspoken except to those who already know.

I feel things picking up at TOT, and I have for a while now. May we see the level of discourse continue to rise, here in the tent and in the forum at large.

Well, don't get me wrong, but having certain people on the TOTcasts is one thing, while having them return to the forum is another. And please bear in mind that I'm only a pragmatic messenger in that regard. ;)

The story with Eelco is essentially that when many of the old members left in early 2015, Eelco left his account here active, but he then used a proxy server to register a new account here, called Tinihanga — a Maori word that means something like "treachery" or "treacherous". And under this new account, Eelco then subtly started luring members away from The One Truth and onto another forum — I think it was Imaginative Worlds — where those ex-members were regrouping.

One day, Eelco forgot to log into his proxy server account before he connected to The One Truth again as Tinihanga, and he was caught and banned by Malc. Therefore, the decision on whether to allow him back in — provided that he would even want that in the first place — lies with Malc.

The story with Ben (777) is that he stepped down as an administrator — and Sarah (Tribe) stepped down with him out of loyalty, because they were very close friends — when Malc rehired Church as a super moderator. And then it was exactly because Ben and Sarah had stepped down that Malc had to promote Church to administrator, because there was no one else left in the mod room with sufficient knowledge of vBulletin.

As for why Ben was banned, that all had to do with the very scathing thread he started just before he left the forum. This is either way between him and Malc, and so I'm not going to comment on that any further. Ben and Sarah were still administrators when I myself signed up here as a regular member, but I've never interacted with Ben, so I don't really know him as a person. I did on the other hand have the privilege of talking with Sarah on a few occasions, and I can only describe her as a very lovely lady. ;)

On account of Seikou-Kishi and most of the others who left, their accounts have been retired, but not banned. So if they were to want to return to The One Truth, then they'll have to contact Malc first. As an administrator, I can change the status of somebody's account, of course, but the e-mail account associated with the server is monitored by Malc only.

Lastly, as for the person whom you wouldn't wish to see, I'm not sure exactly but I think I have an idea on whom you are speaking of. And if it is indeed the person I'm thinking of, then all I can say is that you have to try and see things from both perspectives. This person — if it is indeed whom I suspect it is — is not a bad person at all, and they mean well, but nobody is without flaws, and everyone makes mistakes. ;)


I feel things picking up at TOT, and I have for a while now. May we see the level of discourse continue to rise, here in the tent and in the forum at large.

I have that feeling too. Of course, I cannot compare the energies here at The One Truth with those of any other forums because I'm not registered anywhere else — I was registered at Project Avalon at some point in time, but that was before I ever joined up at The One Truth, and as most of you will know, I've been banned from Avalon by a certain Man With A Hat™. :p

But yes, there is definitely some kind of "quickening" going on here these days. We're starting to get new members again who aren't drive-by registrations for a change, and the tempo of the ongoing discussions is definitely picking up. We've also got some former members returning to us. And of course, the TOTcasts themselves are still relatively new, but they're going on strong, and the participants are all intelligent debaters.

As a presence in the so-called "alternative community", The One Truth is definitely gaining a lot of momentum these days, so I would personally like to thank our active members and their initiatives. ;)

The thing is that whenever someone drops us an e-mail by way of the contact form, then Malc will normally paste said message in the mod room — at least, provided that it isn't the usual spam. However, Malc has only briefly dropped in yesterday to say that he'll be out of the house with his wife until Monday, and he didn't mention anything about Eelco. He did on the other hand state that he'll stand by whatever executive decision I make for the full 100%.

That said, I will unset the ban on Eelco's "Catsquotl" account and reinstate him as a regular member. Likewise for the account of his wife, because we unfortunately had to ban her as well, given that there was a chance that Eelco would continue his attempt to lure our members away to another forum by way of his wife's account, just as he had tried to do by way of his "Tinihanga" account.

If Malc doesn't agree with these decisions, then I guess we'll hear about it on Monday. :hmm: :tea:

Done. Catsquotl and Chocoladevla are active again. The Tinihanga account has been deleted — no point in having that one linger in the database anymore, banned or otherwise.

An owl sits on a branch in one ow the ancient redwood trees surrounding the tent.
It's master had silently snuck in. Though familiar the man with his pink robes noticed the subtle differences in what once was his favorite dwelling.

http://i.imgur.com/5MUaWGV.jpg

He walked over to one of the chairs by the dying fire. Kindled it a little and sat down in one of the lush and comfortable chairs.
Tired he opened his tobacco pouch he stuffed his pipe, lit it and started to smoke, reminiscing about the wondrous ways of the world.
He would have fallen asleep in there were it not that there was work to be done.
Before anyone noticed though he had stood up and left the tent.

Knowing it was there was enough for now. The pink dude signaled his owl to take him away.

Hey everybody, It feels good to be back.
Thank you Aragorn for making the executive decision you did, Modwiz and Purplelama thanks for the support.
I'll be at work mostly over the weekend, but should be able to read up and be slightly more active during next weeks night shifts..

Welcome again, Eelco.

I have a very busy day ahead of me with multiple videos that need to be made and posted. All very time consuming, though joyful. Hopefully they might serve as discussion points. My next vid is uploading and will be up a little over a half hour from this post. Title is, zombies vs trolls.:ttr:

[PurpleLama]

Welcome back, Eelco. Things are starting to shape up. Life is much busier for many of us, but the congregation in the Tent shall continue to develop.

[Catsquotl]

Thanks for the welcome everyone..

I know a little about busy life's so that's ok..
I'm quite content slowly reading some older and newer threads and sprinkling random thoughts about the topics discussed.
looking forward to the karma explained thread as soon as I'm able to watch the vid, for starters..

The Disclosure of CG... a little less enjoyable, but I do have some thoughts about those..

I have been enjoying the videos of Miguel Conner at Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio and his youtube channel could use some exposure. His intros are quite entertaining, IMO. Red pilling the historical narrative of our relationship to the Divine. His guests are varied and scholarly. These videos are not posted as any endorsement of ideas from the guests but for consideration of the alternate views of others. Miguel is another story, lol.

Without trying to stir up old stuff. And especially without passing blame.
I do wonder what happened to us that made a bunch of us disappear and now re-emerge. I can't help but think it does tie in to the Cory Goode story somehow.
Then the leaving. Now the returning.

Eelco

[PurpleLama]

I don't see it as tied to CG, rather several individuals have independently had the impulse to get the family back together, its how I see it, anyway. Who knows where it may lead, but I am willing to see for myself, and I am glad of every person who might be likewise willing.

People either grow, or regress, frequency-wise. There is nothing that remains static forever.

Even though most people want to cling to their comfort zones and remain there in forever bliss.

When catalysts appear, their frequencies change and they will become uncomfortable until they find like-minded souls again. Until the next round.
Those who build solid structures have a harder time when the winds of change start blowing.
This is why I advise people to be careful with the illusion of fame and fortune, although the world makes all that sound very attractive.

Red pilling the historical narrative of our relationship to the Divine. His guests are varied and scholarly. These videos are not posted as any endorsement of ideas from the guests but for consideration of the alternate views of others. Miguel is another story, lol.

This is so good it makes me feel like getting out a note pad.
Loved what they said about the fig tree Jesus destroyed. And then talking about garments right after, I couldnt help but think of the fig leaf image of the Old Testament. Doesnt it remind you of cover-ups?

[modwiz]

Without trying to stir up old stuff. And especially without passing blame.
I do wonder what happened to us that made a bunch of us disappear and now re-emerge. I can't help but think it does tie in to the Cory Goode story somehow.
Then the leaving. Now the returning.

When I began making my videos, for some reason or coincidence, the energy changed but, that is ancient history and has little to do with now. Collectively there is a sort of Gathering and sense of needing coherence wherever it can form. The Tent is one such place and we will see how it goes, as PL has said. I am enjoying it.

So am I.
I get the Gathering feeling, it has been lingering for a while now.
I do feel the CG story is part of it though.. Just a nagging hunch.
Maybe not the story but the forces that drive the narrative...

That which repels is just as involving as that which attracts. So, the perspectives either way are legitimate.

And that's where individual choice comes in. Or call it preference.
The biggest ahas follow when the unfolding consequences of your perspectives can be tied to such. You ask, and universe replies, according to your question.

Universe when perceived in proper context, of where one wishes to venture, will become like a personal buddy, sometimes even indulging.
Up to a point, that is.

I made a post about Disclosure back in Sept. 2016. I wish to re-post again for consideration and possible discussion.

Let me begin stating that I hold that UFO's and various off world races exist. I think they are part and parcel of our history and our present. Perhaps even the architects of it. With that said I present the following:

Something to think about. Disclosure. The UFO type. Many pine, even clamor, for an official disclosure. That would mean either or both the goobermint and MSM present it to the public. Two institutions known for lying as a profession. Is the cognitive dissonance so deep that people do not see the irony of this desire? I would offer the counsel of, watch what we wish for.

I do believe it is coming. Sooner rather than later. Presidents, former and current, speak of the subject in some form on late night talk shows hosted by comedians. The Pope and bishops have spoken of baptizing them. Even the UN has made some noise about it. The Pope hints at a one world religion and the UN speaks of a one world government. Both need a new messiah to bring this about. Religions all start with a "revelation". In the desert, in a cave, finding golden tablets or some other similar motif. Christianity has Saul/Paul having a revelation on the road to Damascus. Paul started Christianity and his epistles make up the bulk of the New Testament. So, a new world religion and goobermint need a new revelation for ALL to see. Enter Mr Spaceman. The social engineering trick extraordinaire.

Maybe this will not be on the White House lawn but, instead in Jerusalem, or maybe Mecca. Convenient place for the new king of the Earth to officiate/rule from. Would make a lot of people happy and fulfill the social engineering called "book" prophecy. Projections by an eilte hidden hand thinking ahead in centuries and further.

Disclosure, yeah, that's the ticket.

I don't see it as tied to CG, rather several individuals have independently had the impulse to get the family back together, its how I see it, anyway. Who knows where it may lead, but I am willing to see for myself, and I am glad of every person who might be likewise willing.

:hug:

I'm always amazed that prevalent energetic's seem to include a bunch of synchromystisisms.
Almost as if we are guided in some way..
Always makes me wonder who is doing the guiding. In that sense it's not tied to GC or his story, but rather a striking coincidental occurrence of different narratives touching during several key energetic movements..

I've recently returned...never expecting to even go to any forums online ever again.

My life has changed....I have changed so very much in the past two years, finding I have less and less to say about anything. Events will occur in the world; and while I observe, I ask myself if there is anything I can do. If so, I do it. If not, then I continue on as before with the exception of a little shift to make room for the new info and where it might fit with the rest of the 'puzzle pieces'. i.e. I cannot stop the economy from crashing, but I can petition the town to replace the decorative trees on Main Street in my town with fruit trees...free for any and all to eat if they are hungry. And in two years, the community garden we worked so hard to create has grown, both in size and in the amount of people participating.

I believe we are guided, always. It's just a matter of whether we pay attention or not. I feel I was 'called' back, and was guided to accept the call even though my mind said I had nothing to contribute. Who guides? My best guess is our higher selves. I don't necessarily need to understand the reason and purpose (haha, though I really want to know), I show up and allow universe to unfold as it will.

Obvious change of direction, I also would love to see Eelco in the tent again, and 777, and Seikou, and so many others, but while I do doubt in the occurrence of the reappearance of all the friendly faces that once frequented the thread and the forum there is actually only one I would not wish to see, that that will remain unspoken except to those who already know.

If I'm wrong I will gladly issue a public apology in this thread to my friend PL, as well as a personal one.

[PurpleLama]

No apology necessary, Fred. I was being an asshole, from your perspective. Inappropriate, perhaps, but lines were drawn long ago that wouldn't be crossed, and if it had the intended effect with minimal fall out, then that's ok. I think it was vague enough not to make for drama, and so far, I was right. From my perspective, it was done for self preservation, and I would not take it back.

Time for a little more cosmic red-pilling.


The reality is that without the Gnostic spark we might have never had the Renaissance. Without the Gnostic spark, the Enlightenment Period would have been half as bright. Without the Gnostic spark, we would have been robbed of some of the greatest thinkers, poets and mystics of all of history. We take a hard look at the Gnostic legacy in history, as well as understand the spanning concept of Gnosis.

[Elen]

Love the definition of a Gnostic...who can argue with that? Who wants to be ruled? ;)

[DNA]

John Lash did some good work with his initial research in the field of Gnosticism, but like all wanna be gurus, he seriously screwed it up by basically trying to screw his acolytes, (literally), and I don't know why but for some reason this turned me off from Gnosticism since. This is really kind of lame because Lash certainly didn't have anything to do with Gnosticism.
If one were to go hardcore Gnostic and Taoist I'm of the opinion one couldn't go wrong.
Unless of course you called yourself a guru and started screwing your students like Lash.
For the most part, men make horrible spiritual teachers.
I'm not kidding.
I'm of the opinion that men as a whole are flawed in that respect, and if one is going to seek spiritual teachings, then one should seek a woman.
I think this is definitely most true of women seeking spiritual guidance, and probably true for men as well.
I had a really great martial arts teacher in my teens, and after knowing the guy really well for 3+ years, he put the moves on me.
What a dick!
I felt like the main character out of "The Catcher and the Rye" novel.
Anyway I think I'm getting away from my initial point.
Taoism and Gnosticism are kick ass method based systems that can take a person far.
And for that matter I believe Castaneda can as well, you don't need to believe the stories to apply the methods shared in that book, and I've tried them to the point where I've never seen better methods to practice anywhere else.

Also, it's glad to be back and I hope to contribute more in the near future.

I would loved to have learned it from a woman but, John did both the hard research and needed shamanic work to give us a coherent and ancient enough narrative. The Nag Hammadi codexes are already showing contamination from the trauma that came out of the Levant and are a jumble of ideas. I no longer find John helpful but, his work and book have brought the living dynamic Mother back to life and agency. Every other scholar I listen to has holes or missing passion for the Sophianic narrative, IMO.

Thanks for the intelligent post and, the Dao works very well with the narrative. Dao-ism has suffered from its priests, as all religions do but, to less deleterious effect than many others. Loa-Tzu got out of 'Dodge' and headed for Mother Nature. He saw the big stupid coming from the West.

I had to check, as I don't know much about rabbits, other than that they are furry.
Learnt something, while googling. And not only about rabbits. Geez....
I thought putting a cat or kitten as an avatar would be a bit too cute, but that would be my pet of choice.
I had an uncle who bred rabbits for food, after WW2, when people were still starving.
Was a bit traumatised by seeing them getting skinned.

[Dreamtimer]

The two in your avatar are gorgeous. That's why I asked, and looked them up myself. I've never had a rabbit as a pet but I know people who have really enjoyed it.

We have wild rabbits here, and they get hunted by the foxes. We also had a cat once that could catch birds and climb trees and he caught several bunnies one year. That was sad. But rabbits breed like rabbits, you know. We saw jack rabbits out in California. They are large, fast, and their ears are really big.

[Elen]

Talking about pets...my eldest brother was given a little cute, pink piglet for his 40th birthday. It was hilarious at the party...running around getting to know everybody.

His family didn't have a pet, so the pig became a family pet which was free to roam around outside the rural area they lived in. It was well known by all the neighbours and it was so sad to see it go that they had to get a dog to make up for the loss. Pigs are definitely NOT stupid! They can be just as loving and caring and funny like any other pet, such a pity they're just looked upon for bacon etc. :smiley hug:

I used to raise Ferrets, they are certainly cute.. but comparing the two is like comparing a 5 year old with Downs syndrome to a 5 year old prodigy.

also, they (mongoose) are far more social and will "seek us out" above building their own little nest (damn ferrets and their sock thievery), at least when we only had one that was the case; having two will be interesting.

Pet Shop Boys, from their album Behavior:
'Cause we were never being boring, we were never being bored"


Full lyrics:
Being Boring.
I came across a cache of old photos
and invitations to teenage parties
'Dress in white' one said with quotations
from someone's wife, a famous writer
in the nineteen-twenties
When you're young you find inspiration
in anyone who's ever gone
and opened up a closing door
She said we were never feeling bored

'cause we were never being boring
We had too much time to find for ourselves
and we were never being boring
We dressed up and fought then thought make amends
And we were never holding back or worried that
time would come to an end

When I went I left from the station
with a haversack and some trepidation
Someone said if you're not careful
you'll have nothing left and nothing to care for
in the nineteen-seventies
But I sat back and looking forward
my shoes were high and I had scored
I'd bolted through a closing door
and I would never find myself feeling bored

'cause we were never being boring
We had too much time to find for ourselves
and we were never being boring
We dressed up and fought then thought make amends
And we were never holding back or worried that
time would come to an end
We were always hoping that, looking back
you could always rely on a friend

Now I sit with different faces
in rented rooms and foreign places
All the people I was kissing
some are here and some are missing
in the nineteen-nineties
I never dreamt that I would get to be
the creature that I always meant to be
but I thought in spite of dreams
you'd be sitting somewhere here with me

'cause we were never being boring
We had too much time to find for ourselves
and we were never being boring
We dressed up and fought then thought make amends
And we were never holding back or worried that
time would come to an end
We were always hoping that, looking back
you could always rely on a friend

And we were never being boring
We were never being bored
'cause we were never being boring
We were never being bored

Along the way to the photo synthesising core, photons of light should collide with other particles, but they dont…a photon reaching the core is as likely to succeed as you sprinting blindfolded through a dense forest reaching the centre without striking a single tree. Plants are engaged in a kind of miracle, the plant puts the photons into a state of quantum of superposition, multiplying it by every route that photon could possibly take. Imagine blindly sprinting through a forest being multiplied into every one of the billions of possible paths, if any one of your possibilities was observed hitting a tree the superposition would collapse and that would be your final outcome, but the plant patiently refuses to observe any of these casualties whilst at its heart it contInues to sing … LET THERE BE LIGHT!

When any of the possibilities finally reaches the core without fail, only that winner is observed. All the other possibilities disappear , the winner is transmitted back through time from the future and becomes the only possibility that ever existed. This is how photons reach the plants core with impossible precision. This is how you and every organism in existence overcame the massive improbabilities of life, this is how we are from the future. This is how you will become the light of the world as we invoke the sacred imperative together … LET THERE BE LIGHT! ”

Miguel has another good interview at Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio.

[Catsquotl]

Seeing the tent dwellers go about their daily routine, the pink wizard tries a few of the other chairs.
He stuffs his pipe, smokes and talks to a few of the locals..

By the time his pipe had finished a moment of clarity made him see.
He had been chasing some of his old ghosts...

Signaling his owl he departs again.
Taking one last good look.

Fare well dear friends..
What once was there, remains a memory.

With Love

The Dutch fellow lays it all out and shows how a world without gnosis is built and sustained. Part 2 of his revelations and a must watch even if we thought we had all the pieces.

Here is a treat of an interview. At times JRR Tolkien and Jung weave together like one person. Focus is on JRR. I was happy to find this as I have been sharing some deep private things with certain people and to hear someone making very similar connections to Tolkien's cosmology in the Silmarillion and The Gnostic ones was synchronicity at the personal level. More importantly, this interview is about opening doors to other realities of validity. Ones that we all have some common source from. Jung had a term and gnostics another while Tolkien wrote a history of it and labeled it fiction/fantasy. Enjoy.

Here is the best interview so far when it come to busting the patrix. The intro is Morpheus speaking to Neo from The Matrix. Then the interview begins. Anthony Peake is coming from a multi-disciplinary approach that anyone looking to get a peak through the veil will relish. Anyone who is turned of by the word Gnostic, and we know there are some, will find this interview inoffensive. It is freedom that matters to me and not a particular way to get there. Real freedom begins with our understanding how the mind works. Highly recommended.


The Gnostics referred to the ultimate reality as The Pleroma, accessible to only those who had, as William Blake said, cleansed the doors of perception. For normal individuals, the Pleroma is only experienced in fleeting glimpses. For others, the doors of perception are fully opened by certain neurological processes starting with migraine and progressing through various altered states such as temporal lobe epilepsy, bi-polar syndrome, autism, and schizophrenia. We quest for the ways to manage these disorders, ultimately finding the universal means of accessing the Pleroma as the shamanistic Gnostics once freely did. This is part of our Schrodinger’s Diary Series, where we mine the Reality behind reality and the secrets of consciousness with the latest science and philosophy.

Alexander Warbucks 'got it' back in 1978 in an article he wrote from the viewpoint of the 'slaveowners'...found at https://bitterrealities.wordpress.com/2015/01/02/how-i-manage-my-slaves/


An Economic Classic


If you wish to keep slaves, you must have all kinds of guards. The cheapest way to have guards is to have the slaves pay taxes to finance their own guards. To fool the slaves, you tell them that they are not slaves and that they have Freedom. You tell them they need Law and Order to protect them against bad slaves. Then you tell them to elect a Government. Give them Freedom to vote and they will vote for their own guards and pay their salary. They will then believe they are Free persons. Then give them money to earn, count and spend and they will be too busy to notice the slavery they are in.

How I Manage My Slaves; Slaves need electricity so that they can stay up later to work and study to be able to pay their electric bills and pay for all of their fine labor saving machines which enable them to finish their work in time to get some recreation which will help them feel more like going back to their jobs to earn money to live their wonderful lives as slaves.

They are lucky to be allowed to buy all of the wonderful things which make work and play so much easier. If they didn t buy these fine things they would have no reason to work for money.

The poor people who take their food from the land and who sleep where ever they can, deprive themselves of the need to work for money. This further deprives them of a need to buy and store fine labor saving devices. They don’t seem to realize the fact that they are holding back progress. If they could be forced to consume more and work, we could increase our gross national production which is useful to keep this excellent system going for us. Consumption can be increased by making welfare and government grant money more available.

It is becoming necessary to provide better working conditions to stop slaves from dropping out. As more drop out and provide for their own needs and direct their own lives it leaves less people to control them. It is necessary to keep them dependent on jobs or government money to maintain our control.

We must find ways to keep them from dropping out of our schools too. Here we mainly teach them to obey orders, respect our laws and love their country, coincidently, we teach them a trade or profession with which they will minister to our needs and whims or to the needs of our other servants. We could teach them on-the-job much faster and better but it takes more time to complete their obedience training.

Those who take care of their own needs are difficult to enslave. We must encourage people to become dependent in every area that it is possible to do so.

Alexander Warbucks
September 6, 1978


How many people have the strength of will or purpose to provide for their own needs? Most cannot take their eyes off their cell phones long enough to see where they are going, never mind even begin to think for themselves. *sigh*

[Dreamtimer]

I actually tried to find out where this came from and who this person is. I can't find an Alexander Warbucks or the original article. Only different comments and pins that contain it.

Interestingly, a search of this name brings up the anarchist Alexander Berkman, and Emma Goldman who was his publisher. (That name didn't ring a bell for me, though it did bring to mind one of Roger Ramsaur's aka's, Emma Gold).

[Melidae]

Warbucks...Sounds like a pseudonym to me.

Mel checks the bottom of her shoes as she enters the tent. Someone sh!t in several threads and she wanted to make sure she didn't step into any of it.

Relishing the quiet, she shook her head...remembering in times past when even sarcasm was frowned upon in here...she chuckled. And now...now? Self-discipline has disappeared, differing opinions open ones self up to ridicule and trolling, and an over-abundance of testosterone has taken over.

What happened to all the great discussions that took place at TOT? And not about a video or an article someone else wrote, but ones of honor, spirituality, and dialog between people who may never agree, but where people really listened to each other anyway and were civilized in their discourse. Just a memory of better days, I guess. *sigh*

What I need right now is fresh air, she thought. Time for a long walk in the real world...in my real community where no one is vying for leadership or celebrity...where all are equal and celebrate their differences as well as their accomplishments (and even failures) together. Funny, that. Many years ago I joined my first forum as an escape from all the intolerance and bickering in my community. But now, after leaving the forums and working so hard to create beauty and joy and unity with people in real life, I look forward to stepping away from the computer and gathering with friends and neighbors.

As she gave a last glance around the tent, she knew she would be back. She was needed...the feminine was desperately needed here. She just feels the need to spend time strengthening her defenses before attempting to participate once again...defenses she hadn't needed for two years. How ironic!

Sun and moon on an axis of opposite poles. Your emotions (moon) mess up your plans with impulses that jump the gun. Then your Cancer Ascendant pays the price, by not believing you just did that, and drags you into deep feelings of embarrassment.
That is the worst case scenario.

On a brighter note the Aries Moon gives you the courage that the Libra sun can't always produce. But Libra sun does make you perceptive, and diplomatic.

I once knew a guy who had the Libra sun and Aries moon combo, and when he was in Vietnam, as Military police, his job was to negociate with the Vietkong to release the US prisoners of war. And he was decorated, due to his high success rate.

Also with that combination you get those brilliant judges, who not only know instantly who did it, but are also fearlessly risking their lives when putting dangerous criminals behind bars.

Thank you, Paloma. I appreciate these insights. I do not have much knowledge of astrology. I think I'll be learning, at least a bit.

The human mind, which our conscious awareness perceives, is a false construct which by design fools us into believing it is us, whereas out true identity needs nothing with which to identify.

The analysis of experience is ongoing, all the while that "thinking" part is held under an ever growing air of suspicion.

I understand your sentiments in regards to civilization.
Our present version leaves a lot to be desired.
I remember reading the Urantia Book a few years ago, a wonderful work that in my opinion is absolute genius and thus worthy of consideration in so far as it being penned by celestial sources.
There was a line in the book which stated "do not be too hard on your selves in terms of your civilization just having overcome slavery.
Slavery was a step up from what came before.
Mankind in it's infancy practiced cannibalism to the extreme.
Food was scarce and competition was fierce, so if you saw a human who was not a member of your immediate tribe, you clubbed him, bagged him and ate him.
Then mankind made a step in the right direction and stopped eating other people, they just killed them.
Then mankind made a step in the right direction and stopped killing other people and instead enslaved them.
Now mankind has made another step and stopped enslaving other people, and this is indeed good.
So do not beat yourselves up for your perceived present barbarism for in the past you have been much worse. "

It was much more eloquent in the Urantia Book, the above was of course from memory.
I'm not one of those people who look at our ancestors with the idea that they were more peaceful and pleasant than the modern version.
People may be dumber now, but they are also docile and well fed, in the past not so much.

[PurpleLama]

See, I don't think that such barbarity was "mankind in its infancy", so much as it was devolved segments of "mankind" in the aftermath of a planetary or extra-planetary war. To use JPF's turn of phrase, the weapons of that war make hydrogen bombs look like firecrackers. Further, I currently, tentatively ascribe to the notions described by Alterwelt in the Remote Viewing Ancient Civilizations thread on GLP, and credit goes to Outlander for turning me on to that one a few years back, the notion being that many iterations of "mankind" have evolved separately at many times and places over the last several millions of years.

Urantia didn't wash for me, I tried to read some of the books 7 or 8 years ago. Entertaining, but not compelling alongside what other information I had on board at the time. My agenda sniffer kept going off....

[modwiz]

I know Lord Sidious and his friend had a war of words with Thomas on Fecebook. Like my signature below quoting Eleanor Roosevelt, I will be focusing on ideas and not people.

I do disagree with Thomas about the paganism of Arabia because it was a particularly ugly form and the ideas of Mohammed were a healthier alternative in that part of the world.

This video features a man who looked into things and it is a relatively short and interesting listen, given the complexity of the subject. Well worth a listen if we wish to be able to love our fellow humans by understanding them better.

Robert Price is a well known bible scholar if one knows bible scholars, lol. Easy to listen to and recorded well enough to hear every word. I found this an interesting listen as is usual for Robert.

All of Miguel's shows begin with his own thoughts of the "day". Skip to 10:20 if one wishes to hear the interview/talk only and save some listening time. Also, they lost a friend, Acharya, another scholar, and speak about her at the end of the interview so, when that begins the topic of the video is over. Enjoy.

Greetings, Modwiz! I was out taking a stroll this morning, and saw the glow of the tent. I thought I would stop by for a visit. Ah, the familiar and the new in one place. I see that you are about to reach 300,000 views. Wow. That means a soul was drawn to this beacon 300 thousand times. And it is no wonder, you are genuine and that is something you share. This tent has meant quite a bit to some folks, myself included. Congratulations are in order, my fine wizardly friend.

I will be moving along now, I have a journey to tend to. I will be leaving some fairy dust in my wake, of course.

And Much Love,

OK, a new voice discovered at Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio, Gordon White. However, the motherlode of conversations with him are with Gregg Harwood at The Higherside Chats. I will post a few of them but, this one is a great one to start with. He speaks with scholarship and eloquence with how far back into antiquity we go. I hardly agree with every idea of his but there is huge amount of common ground with only nuanced differences. Great chemistry between the two of them also. These interviews fly by for me and then I want another one. Simply delicious.

They were talking about Gobekli Tepe being a meeting place for hunters, and that the they would party and go into trance with mushrooms, ancient beer and drums.
I think at one point they referred to it as a Neolithic Rave. :very_drunk:
They talked about it being a power place much like how Bill Hicks did mushrooms at another specific power place and saw a UFO.
At one point in the dialogue it was stated that present day tourists and visitors were not allowed to meditate in the area and folks found doing so would be interrupted and asked to leave.
I don't know why but this reminded me of the young man who attempted to meditate on the Gorman Ranch in "Hunt for the Skinwalker" and was accosted by an invisible cryptid probably Sasquatch for doing so.
I'm guessing they do not want anyone tapping into whatever is available there at Gobekli Tepe, and probably the same goes for the Gorman Ranch in N.E. Utah.
Anyway, all in all the descriptions reminded me of this scene from the Clan of the Cave Bear movie with Darryl Hannah.

...so, I'm going to send my stuff to Wizzy and let him post it. :onthequite:

This video turned out to be very interesting. It also covers that written law was considered dead and was an insult to honest people who depended on their word and honor. It also supports much of what is stated by Sylvie in the Newearth Survivor series regarding the Romans. There is one about aqueducts all over the world, including South America,that puts to rest the idea they were a Roman invention. The Romans discovered them in their world conquests and copied them. Although the Etruscans seem to be part of a Survivor culture.

The Khazars, as a Turkic-Mongolian people, do figure into the dialogue but there is none of the usual finger pointing at the Jewish people as is too often the case when Khazars are mentioned.

This is a good talk with JP Farrell and his book about Yahweh. It starts with a discussion about Russian genetic finds and then transitions.

Here is a real 4th of July song.

Did you listen, strider?

Did you listen, strider?

Yes, I did. ;) (Even though I don't understand the whole lyric due to his pronunciation and the fact that the guitar dominates his voice.)

Well, in the early part of J. Farrell talk on the "Baltic Anomaly," Farrell is wrong about German shipping in the Baltic. Germany and Finland were Allies in WW II and there was considerable shipping between the two countries. As Sweden was neutral and the Allies did not front on the Baltic, western sources have NO idea how much shipping was traveling up the Baltic in between Germany and Finland in WW II. He really needs to stop throwing out dumb facts on stuff he has no clue about, it simply lessens his credibility.

Agreed, too bad that was the first video I found of him discussing his book about Yahweh, I actually skipped most of that part to get to the title subject. He gets into it much better with his buddy, now deceased, Georgeanne Hughes in this one. She brings out the best in him although her own words are often not of tremendous gravity.

In the earlier tape at point 23:00 Farrell talks about 13 major clan mothers...possible genetic "confirmation" of the 13 illuminati families?

I think the Russian genetic studies have huge capability of blowing the lid off the entire bent Western genetic paradigms.

If memory serves me correctly, the Ancient records say 14 and geneticists say 13. So, I do smell scientism working to create a narrative that serves their masters. I intuit that there is a connection, of sorts but, one that is more wholesome.

John Lash has a you tube channel named, Mandela Effect Decoded, and I have been working my way through the 49 videos he has there. I did not start at the beginning and have jumped around a bit. I will post a two part video set, bith relatively short that are are good from a historical perspective and can be helpful to anyone trying to make sense of an insane world. That is the "world" is the systems inflicted on Nature and the ecosystem humanity emerged from of this "planet". The planet is an organic organism, the world is comprised of alien "systems" imposed upon it and humanity.

I do not like John's use of the word 'gnosticism' because it turns the gnostic 'way' or, way of gnosis into 'ism' which is a 'system'. A little less wine/alcohol would do John some good, as it makes him miss some things a man of his intellect and language comprehension would not miss otherwise, IMO. Alcohol can also negatively drive behaviors that can lead to small minds discussing the person rather than the ideas of a great mind.

Given his Herculean efforts to bring gnostic thought to life and lift it out of the confusion of the Nag Hammadi Coptic texts, my comments are one of love for the man and wishing to see him at his best.

A three hundred million old chariot wheel in a coal mine? Owners of the mine then flooding it after more digging instead of an archeological investigation? Yes, and yes. There is a reason the 'parasites' wish to conceal the antiquity of the native human/anthropos and that will be the subject of a video at some point. We natives have been around for a very long time. My sense is as ancient as we are that poor science/geology also has some flaws. A perfect storm of stupid and fookery. An awakened humanity, one awakened to their true past, is terrifying to the usurpers of this planet. Some are working ceaselessly to turn history into ourstory. The truth will come out and many will know it for the truth. The dead will bury their own.

For now here is a very short video to view.

May I inquire as to your considerations concerning Jose M. Herrou Aragon and his book called The Forbidden Religion?


Primordial Gnosis is the original Gnosis, true Gnosis, eternal Gnosis, Gnostic knowledge in its pure form. Due to multiple persecutions, Primordial Gnosis has been fragmented, distorted and hidden.

A review from a reader:


I gave this book 2 stars because it's fun to read -- much like many of the shows about aliens and the Masons, etc. are fun to watch. As a book about Gnosticism, however, it really doesn't deserve any stars. As the author points out, most Gnostic writings had been banned for centuries and copies of them had been destroyed. This led many people to speculate on the belief systems of the Gnostics -- basing thier views on the few references and fragments that were available. Of course, people tend to reflect their own views in their speculations. This author seems to be motivated or informed by such views.

Over the past 150 years, however, archeologists have uncovered many of the original Gnostic writings and we can, therefore, check our interpretations. (I find it interesting that the author quotes many books -- very often quoting the enemies of Gnosticism in the early church who were trying to argue that the Gnostics were heretics -- but rarely, if ever, quotes original source material of the Gnostics.) What the author presents can best be described as related to one strain of these wrtings (more or less in the way that the movie the Omen is related to Christianity). It seems to me that most of the ideas that he presents can be traced back to the Sethian tradition of the Gnostics -- which is by no means representative of all Gnostic thought. And, even his presentation of the Sethian tradition is highly interpretive and would be refuted outright by many of the Gnostic writings. It seems like the author -- or the author's sources -- are trying to use people's lack of understanding of Gnostic beliefs as a vehicle for presenting their own view of some kind of Luciferian religion -- one that would be wholly refuted by most of the Gnostic writings, and requires interpretation to find support in the Sethian tradition.

It's important to remember that you should be suspect of anyone who begins a sentence, "The Gnostics believed..." There are many Gnostic traditions and, if there is anything that truly unites them, it is the mystical idea that people can have a direct knowledge of/communion with the Godhead/the Absolute/the Uncreated. Since this knowledge is attained by individuals and is unmediated by church or doctrine, there is no one central authority. This has led to a wide variety of ideas. If you're interested in knowing what the Gnostics were thinking, I would suggest reading their own words. Many of the books are readily available. The Nag Hammadi Scriptures, found in Egypt, provide a great sampling of various strains of Gnostic thought and translations are available in a compilation with very informative commentary by actual experts

By page 16 he had lost me because he is lost. Yes, the tradition of what became known as gnostic has its roots in deep antiquity. The Nag Hammadi texts provided an awareness of the tradition but, not a very coherent one. John Lash, though not perfect, is the best exponent of what a gnostic is currently. There are some writers who wrote at the beginning of the 20th century, before the Nag Hammadi find, that wrote with a far better understanding of the primordial nature of the people who understood our place in the Universe and this planet.

Did God create Hell or the writers of the word ???

More importantly, IMO. Who or what do people believe is God, and God's word? There is much to consider to better share one planet.

With regard to concepts of God and Satan, the Book of Job illustrates the cognitive dissonance demonstrated in the common understandings of love and what is held as divine.

What is your answer to your own question, Sandy?

No such thing as Hell or Heaven for that matter> if I choose to call something one or the other > I create it ..........:-)
