    I think this is a good place to post this eloquent, if expletive ridden, rant. It is someone who cannot stand that Trump was elected but, his comprehension of why that happened is quite eye-opening. Thoroughly worth a look at.

    Well if it is the best idea,we've come to a sad end of what "could have been?"
    But I disagree and I will focus on my attention that the beast BE a beauty.

    WB YEATS
    The poem was written in 1919 in the aftermath of the First World War[3] and the beginning of the Irish War of Independence that followed the Easter Rising, at a time when the British government was preparing to send in the Black and Tans to Ireland. Yeats used the phrase "the second birth" instead of "the Second Coming" in his first drafts.

    The Second Coming
    Turning and turning in the widening gyre
    The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
    Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
    Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
    The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
    The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
    The best lack all conviction, while the worst
    Are full of passionate intensity.

    Surely some revelation is at hand;
    Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
    The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
    When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
    Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
    A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
    A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
    Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
    Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
    The darkness drops again; but now I know
    That twenty centuries of stony sleep
    Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
    And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
    Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

    Synchronicity I

    With one breath, with one flow
    You will know
    Synchronicity

    A sleep trance, a dream dance
    A shared romance
    Synchronicity

    A connecting principle
    Linked to the invisible
    Almost imperceptible
    Something inexpressible
    Science insusceptible
    Logic so inflexible
    Causally connectible
    Yet nothing is invincible

    If we share this nightmare
    Then we can dream
    Spiritus mundi

    If you act, as you think
    The missing link
    Synchronicity

    We know you, they know me
    Extrasensory
    Synchronicity

    A star fall, a phone call
    It joins all
    Synchronicity

    It's so deep, it's so wide
    Your inside
    Synchronicity

    Effect without a cause
    Sub-atomic laws, scientific pause
    Synchronicity...

    Synchronicity II

    Another suburban family morning
    Grandmother screaming at the wall
    We have to shout above the din of our Rice Crispies
    We can't hear anything at all
    Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustration
    But we know all her suicides are fake
    Daddy only stares into the distance
    There's only so much more that he can take
    Many miles away
    Something crawls from the slime
    At the bottom of a dark Scottish lake

    Another industrial ugly morning
    The factory belches filth into the sky
    He walks unhindered through the picket lines today
    He doesn't think to wonder why
    The secretaries pout and preen like
    cheap tarts in a red light street
    But all he ever thinks to do is watch
    And every single meeting with his so-called superior
    Is a humiliating kick in the crotch
    Many miles away
    Something crawls to the surface
    Of a dark Scottish lake

    Another working day has ended
    Only the rush hour hell to face
    Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes
    Contestants in a suicidal race
    Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance
    He knows that something somewhere has to break
    He sees the family home now looming in the headlights
    The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache
    Many miles away
    There's a shadow on the door
    Of a cottage on the shore
    Of a dark Scottish lake
    Many miles away, many miles away

    A reminder ...

    "To even begin to understand what has happened to the Republic, we must look backward in time to the period following the Civil War. We must go back to the year 1871, which was the beginning of the decline of the Republic. When we examine what happened during that time in our history, we begin to piece together this troubling, perplexing puzzle that is "America" — only then should we answer as to whether we are indeed a "free" people or not" ...

    UNITED STATES is a Corporation

    This illegal 'Act' ion would go on to allow for the creation of the now infamous Federal Reserve
    in December 23, 1913, when President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act into law, it stood as a classic example of compromise—a decentralized central bank that balanced the competing interests of private banks and populist sentiment ... While allowing international banking interest a back door into the U.S. Government finances from then onward to present times.

    Thomas Sheridan - The Druid Code: Magic, Megaliths and Mythology Part One

    From LegaliseFreedom1


    Thomas Sheridan discusses his book The Druid Code: Magic, Megaliths and Mythology. The Druid Code sets out to examine the wider concept of magic and mythology being utilised as an early form of social psychoanalysis by the druids, how magic theory developed from this, and how this evolution of ritual magic eventually made its way into Folklore, Witchcraft and Freemasonry. From the proto-shamanic world of the megalith builders, to lost civilisations of the Atlantic fringe, along with the continual changes and challenges to the human experience in the face of traumatic cultural upheaval, the druids and their legacy have played a far more influential role than has been previously acknowledged. The Druid Code utilises mythology connected to sacred sites, developing a bidirectional conduit back through time, to reveal what took place in 2500BC – a shift in human consciousness that made humans what we are today. Issues discussed include:

    The decline of Christianity in Europe.

    The universal myths and legends of global disasters in the ancient past, and the lost Golden Age.

    The nature of our ancestors' consciousness and how it differed from ours.

    Resistance to evidence which dates ancient sites as much older than currently accepted.

    Transhumanism, technocracy, and the struggle to shape the future.

    More ancient, less primitive: Will rejection of science as the only way to understand reality birth a new era of magical, mythical human consciousness?

    From Atlantis to alchemy, you will never see history in the same way again.
