Michael Hofffman, II, from p. 55 of the book above, Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare...
(quoting from his book , Apocalypse Culture): "...in the brilliant word-play of the (mythical) Masonic (figure) Dr. Syntax we came to the current unfoldment in "Must Be," an alchemical (cant language code) term Mr. (James Shelby) Downard translates as "the Revelation of the Method." This alludes to the process wherein murderous deeds and hell-raising conspiracies involving wars, revolutions, decapitations, secret archeo-astronomic deity cult-worship, and every manner of horror show are first buried beneath a cloak of secrecy...and then, when finally accomplished and secured, slowly revealed to the unsuspecting populace who watch...deep frozen...as the hidden history is unveiled...In the circulation of...(anti-Academy) manuscripts...the revelation of the method is accomplished . Truth or consequences...Downard ...is acutely aware that in exposing the conspirators he is probably serving the final dictum (in their alchemical formula)..."

But Luke 8:17 predicts this so well, so if man doesn't act, God will, sooner than later! In the meantime, exposure itself does not defeat the cryptocracy, because given the degraded and atrophied nature of modern man's perceptions and insight today, such revelations may only serve to strengthen the cryptocracy's mental hold.

The record shows that the recent revelations of occult crimes are almost never accompanied by arrests, prosecutions, convictions and punishment if the initiates involved, hence the reputation of the cryptocracy's invincibility is heightened by the revelations.

Moreover, the spectacular nature of the revealed crimes carry a highly charged aura of the violent and the erotic and in the final analysis, when exposed to public attention, only become further grist for the seemingly limitless public appetite for shock-titillation and passive voyeurism...


... If the truth of what the cryptocracy has perpetrated is grasped and acted upon, the consequences for the conspirators would be annihilation. But if the people fail to perceive the truth or fail to act on their perception, thus rendering unto the process a kind of tacit consent born of apathy, amnesia and ambulia, the consequences for the conspirators will be a giant-step in the advancement of their system of control, that is to say, ever tighter bonds of enslavement for humanity.

Why does the cryptocracy bother to gamble so much by going public with what it is doing to us? Because consent fuels their control like no other form of energy.


Alright...

Ready for a ride ’round a rural route road?



I portend and appreciate the planet we inhabit was probably present before I was plopped and will probably be here when my bones are buried; but sometimes I wondered when I was younger if I, myself, had already passed … that poignant point of no repass... a little alone, but maybe not quite - like a scene in the movies,The Sixth Sense, or Ghost.


Now in my 60’s, I see a system unsurely evolved from lots and lots of (repetitious) repeated practice...


Experiencing the scene as a sprout in the 60’s, I suppose I swallowed the official stories of the Kennedy - King killings because I was brought up a brainwashed kid. Then in the 70's, I was so busy working I wasn't aware of Watergate and couldn't care less about the ’76 hearings… I saw a Geraldo in '88. Then in the 90's, thirty years after JFK's murder, "The Men Who Killed Kennedy" hit The History Channel - when the mainstream media began beating the bongo that maybe Lee Oswald wasn't acting alone… that day in Dallas at Dealey Plaza…


Nevertheless, nobody cared, it was out of my league, I sorta forgot and foraged on forward - learning a living and living the lie.


By 9/11/2001, I sorta understood that the terror attacks were a little too perfect to be totally true - because they meant so much money for military spending, Homeland Security, special interests, the national deficit, et cetera, so forth, again and again and again… I began to wonder why we were waging war in our world? …the way of the World? …who, what, and where I was in the world? …and the weird, wired, World Wide Web was where we were weaving what we were watching and wending our world with one and other; and one day, wondering what happened to JFK, I started exploring some exhilarating, but sober, insightful discoveries - incomprehensible pre-computer; as some serious historians were consistently insisting some super selective secret teams are social conditioning mainstream society's psychological situation - so citizens’ decisions shall cease to exist…

Image



I remember JFK!! And as I recall, the mainstream media reports propaganda and promotes pretty products the same today as for JFK; except today, toddlers can tune to porn in the morn, a mess of mass murders in the middle of the day, and vixens and evil every evening!!


Image




I can still recall as a six year old kid clambering through the lucarne to the second story shingles - expecting to soar in my (Sears catalogue) Superman suit that Santa Claus scored me for Christmas one season... Staring up high at a bright, blue sky… My eyeballs blinking - to that 6 foot fence far below… slipping inside through the sill instead… then getting in trouble for forgetting to shut it!


Image



Shoot man! in the years surrounding '63, a sassy brat in a suburb of Dallas, I could take a canteen and explore all day, traipsing down trails and climbing up trees, out in the woods, off on my own, blisting at birds with my BB gun. I especially remember a sunny September, Saturday morning, assembling the seat on a brand new Schwinn (]that I won in a sweepstakes from a shoe store in Austin) while Chymp and Champ - my much older half-brothers, were baggin' some leaves from our big front lawn, I suddenly spotted two dapper dudes trekking right toward us through the old growth forest - from the castle with a tennis court up the creek, clear to the driveway where our Dad was standing… Momentarily, my Mom was amongst 'em? Seriously discussing some bizness or somethin'?? ...Then, Chymp started chatting with the older adults??? I'd never really noticed our neighbor before, so straddling my Stingray I spied from the street - almost
as if

I didn't exist...



Gee whiz...

I din't get the gusto, I guess...


(D Moolay and the See Cadets... )



But, I digress...


Image



One day when Dad was drunk, my much older half-brothers reminded me, "He was quite a man before you met him.", and were fast to inform me of our father's long life - before I was born...


Image
Dad on the left during World War 1



I imagine my Pa out on the prairie - with the power of prayer… The Bible, a book, and maybe a radio, but definitely no Mayberry RFD!!


Working his way from the Panhandle plains, Dad earned his degree - during the Great Depression, then worked some more - before the next War; when he served as an officer in the South Pacific, flying off and on an aircraft carrier... Dad never would’ve mentioned his military medals, that scar on his neck, or the kamikazi 'craft that crashed on the deck... except a couple of times - I insensibly asked, and he stoically told me… staring away... "I lost a lot of friends.", and, "You haven't been scared 'til a storm at sea."


Image
Dad on the deck during World War 2



One day, when Dad was sober, he did describe the deadly conflagration at the Cocoanut Grove - where hundreds were burned near Boston Harbor: He and his pals had just arrived, spun round and round the revolving door; in, and around, then back outside, freezing in front of the building again; because the paper mache palms had flashed afire - and the panicking patrons were suddenly screamin' and scramblin' right toward ‘em, desperately strugglin' to escape the smoke! Next they knew, all they could do was watch from the sidewalk as - just inside - dozens of smothering party faces pushed and shoved - until they were stuck - suddenly trapped in that existential exit!






Dad did die in the wake of the War, on a freezing evening in the oil field. Falling asleep on the cozy front seat - while the engine ran - in his Ford sedan, he was overcome by carbon monoxide and wouldn't awaken to work the well! His passing was promptly reported in his parents' paper, but (literally) laying on a table in the local morgue, it dawned on my Dad he wasn't dead!!


Another time, huntin' near Hartzel, his horse was shot out - from underneath him!!!


Image
(not my mother)



My mother, Mom, was a sassafras lass from the Lone Star State with a sparkling smile and a gift for the gab. Batting her baby blues eyes (before I was born), she lured a lieutenant following World War 2, and they moved near Miami where the mensch she married was made a Vice President at his parent’s bank. Meanwhile, Mom was declared the “Best Dressed Woman in Miami Beach”, beat Goren at bridge, and Dino Martini "tried" to dine her - at a cocktail club in Coconut Grove... She later explained that she was “plain homesick"; so divorcing the dude and dashing to Dallas, she briskly landed at Braniff Airlines - as a reservationist, to exploit the experience of flying for free! After awhile, Mom dated my Dad... "the love of my life" - a decade older, also divorced, and drillin' for oil around the woild…


I suppose I should say something of the Confederate officer’s Civil War saber that stood in a corner when I was a kid in my Grandmother’s study, and the story she shared of a wounded soldier in the wake of the war - way back when, who found his way to her forefather’s door, where the family physician fixed him up, and they let him recline until he was rested and eventually ready to limp back home; when he gave her grandparents’ his southerner’s sword as a good will gesture of his gratitude.


Image

I should also mention my my mother’s Dad (my Granddad in the middle), was an Army airman on wobbly wings while World War 1 was under way.



Anyway, down through the decades, Mom delighted us a dozens of times at the dining room table, delicately dishing a delicious dessert with the dainty details of the adults' discussion in our driveway that day - when I was sittin' on my Schwinn way back when...


"What's Chymp gonna do after graduation?", our noble neighbor succinctly hinted - hands on his hips.


Charming as always, Mom chimed right in for her step-child Chymp; excitedly suggesting that, "Chymp would love to learn to fly-y! Maybe the Academy in Colorado??"


I can still see the urbane feller in his camel hair colored cardigan sweater, closely followed by his fashionable friend - breezing back through the brush to his humble abode; then in a minute (or maybe two), hippity-hoppin’ by himself - back to our driveway to deliver the deal:


The flying academy was fully committed. Chymp ’could be first on the waiting list ... or I've reserved a room’ near the Capital of Maryland at the Academy on the Atlantic coast; whereupon the debonaire dude handed big brother Congressman Cowbell's personal number on a piece of paper.


Image



I’ve scarcely seen my straight sibling since that sunny September day in the ’60’s, but suffice to say, my much older half-brother - never flew jets, but he’s a twice retired public servant, member of Mensa and a Viet Nam vet - who served as an officer in the South Pacific.


But, again I digress...


I didn't get drafted, so most of my memories are monochromatic/melodramatic. Tuning the channel to TV 2, laughing out loud at Looney Tunes, taking for granted that the TV was trueTrust me: I'm an expert… TV has taught me more than my teachers! I Loved Lucy, Leave it to Beaver, Andy Griffith, Get Smart, Dobie Gillis, Gilligan's Island, My Three Sons, McHale's Navy, Roy Rogers, The Real McCoy’s; and the manly men moral tales were memorable too - Lawman, Laramie, Maverick, Wagon Train, Wild, Wild West, The Rifleman, Rawhide, and of course the original Superman!


Image



Throwing up thespians in a plethora of plots, massaging the menagerie of our imagination, minding the mindless mining the masses, managing the madness in a myriad of media, travelling troubadours are traditionally staging an alternate reality to feed the needy forever focused on the multi-faceted, flatly ridiculous, official theory continually spinning on 500 channels - and our i-tunes, Internet and telephone too!





What're the odds of being born to began with?



Seeing as how my Mom and Dad decided to marry after so many miles when I seemingly started as a single silly spermatozoa, one amidst millions - maybe trillions, to successfully seed a single ovum - on the only planet - in an infinity of empty - capable of populating this perilous plight...


0 - 1. On - off. Dark - Light. In - Out. Cold - Hot. Pain - Pleasure. Boy - Girl. Friend - Foe. Good - Evil. As above - So below...… Seems to me, mathematically metastasizing, this is where matters began and end.


A lotta philosophers strive to compare their parallel plane to the planet we apparently seem to share - an alternate reality, if you will... some flatulant, flunky, false flag philosophy, or preferring to refer to my regular reality as geo or ego-centric because from my perspective, and probably yours - in our mutually exclusive shared experience, our world is infinite in every direction, our horizon is essentially always eye level, nobody knows what's far below, while our Sun and Moon and star constellations cross our sky - like a series of signals - wa-ay up high...






Furthermore… and inner-most, Consciousness is the key component of our common equation we all consider.


R-r-reminiscing the musical scale - repeating octaves - higher and lower - 'til our lobes won't listen to the libretto no more, or watching in wonder as those night-time owls - and the bats from the belfry - fly so free through the darkest fields, or maybe beholding Buddy the beagle - bolting out back - excitedly chasing rabbits and squirrels - sniffing their scents around the yard, experiencing our surroundings thru the limited spectrum we mutually share, then sights, smells, sounds and census some of the rest of us of simply don’t sense... So, it shouldn’t surprise us that some sorta species are specializing in setting in their sights on cents we don’t see.


Image



Art, pics, knick knacks and clocks remind me of memories we may have in common; because memes and sigils are historically incorporated in architectural and cultural icons, religious rituals, popular literature, music, and movies; and the remote control and simple symbology are unseen energies that often affect us from afar - as well as within - to regularly remind the messy masses of our masonic mainstream space and time..


Image



Turning our attention to the Tube - a parallel plan of our plane if you please, the plight purveyors predictably programming and pushing our problems down the portal are a verily probable piece of the puzzle. God, War, religion and sports, the de-edification of edgecation, flashing fingers and facial expressions, subtle innuendo and NLP, civil procedural sigil symbology and "meta-meme magic on a massive scale" are mutually embedded in our mainstream mainframe to manage our minds and mine the madness....








… Heinz von Forster is one of the pioneers of the theory of Constructivism, according to which we human beings construct our own reality. No objective reality exists independent of the observer.

During the 60's, Heinz von Foerster is head of his own research laboratory, the "Biological Computer Lab" at the University of Illinois. Here, commissioned by research departments of the US Navy and Air Force, he works on, among other projects, the merging of digital and biological systems.



Heinz Von Foerster: Well, in this world-wide, functioning system of machines, all theories are correct, and of course that's what people want. Why are they correct? Because they can all be deduced from other theories and "stories" ...

Question: But what will it lead to? How does it go on?

Foerster: It goes on deducing indefinitely.

Question: But there have to be limits somewhere?

Foerster: No, not at all, that's the the good thing about it. You can go on forever.

Question: In logic?

Foerster: Yes, Precisely.

Question: But in reality?

Foerster: Where is reality? Can you show it to me?

Presenting the players who push the perception we need protection by perpetrating terror on the population they're supposed to protect…





I really don't care to try to convince you, but crisis actors posing as witnesses are a major medium the mainstream uses to paint us a picture of what supposedly 'happened' when a story explodes on our TV screen.



Following the future from our past, as the USA is systematically dis-assembled, are cafrs and capstones calling the shots? Corporate and state intelligence teams transporting players from place to place, (prison to prison), programming the media with moles, and patsies, and some pretty bad actors, apparently in precincts that won't press charges, transparently staging these scary scenarios to channel our perceptions and expectations??


Countries historically come and go - because the world is ruled (divided) by financial factions - fanatically forcing their bottom line, and diss/arming the citizenry and permanent war are traditionally a prescription to ply the public perpetually powerless to prevent the profiteers from plundering their pile.





In other words, is it true that ”The US is a literal rogue state empire led by neo-colonial looting liars.”?

WHO can facilitate a false flag-aganza? Are grants and donations funding these farces? Forcing federal incentives on city officials? (Perhaps, this is why the cops comply - and so quickly defer to Federal Authority?) Secret Societies? Men with Money? Maybe one faction flogging another? Sharks circling in an incessant strategy to divide and conquer our sovereign country??

When the top politicians are enriching the gangsters - blackmailing and bribing public officials, and we find we're not fightin' for God and freedom, but for a foreigner Godfathers' financial fiefdom - the same fuggin' fascists our forefathers fought, will our our leaders' malfeasance forestall our faith in gov't officials and inspire some dissonance amidst the constituents perceiving the system diss-represents them?




Are twenty first century, psy-war transmissions, like this discussion an asymmetrical, multi-faceted, facetious farce to fractally train our frame of reference…

Dimitri: "The technosphere, which is the entire artificial realm we've created with all this machinery, all of these different life support systems, has developed a sentience of it's own - its own agenda; which is very different from our human agenda. It doesn't necesarily have our interests in mind at all! It uses us as slaves and servants, especially the technologies and the engineers, and everybody else it pretty much tries to replace with robots... The technosphere is in runaway mode...

Money:
"... The technosphere is basically a machine like entity. It uses machine like intelligence, and reasoning based on numbers and logic, and it establishes rules for us based on numbers and logic... In terms of controlling human behavior, money is very useful because it allows everything to be quantified...

"As we know, ...money can be manipulated to assign false value to... low grade resources... to make them seem valuable... The end game, over time, is the destruction of the Earth's eco-system by mis-allocation of capital."

Religion:


"... We want to think that we exist for a reason, even if that reason doesn't exist, and we can't prove that it exists. Our faculties for determining the truth are limited, but what we really want is a story. So, if a four year old starts asking you the question, Why? , ...saying I don't know doesn't really satisfy, because you're supposed to make up a story!

"Your supposed to make up a story, and that's what religion really is: We want a story about stone tablets, the hand of dust. We want stories about the parting of the Red Sea. We want drama! We want great stories, and that's what religion really is. So, those stories can be used to manipulate our consciousness - and conscience - in all sorts of ways. The point is that, to the technosphere, morality is a tool! it can make us behave in moral ways. It can kill us. It can ignore our immorality. It can encourage us to behave in immoral ways. All of those are just tools in it's tool chest...




Having been selected into a "special" program and given "special" treatment, CIA political cadres were taught the corporate sales pitch. In effect, rural youths were put on a political assembly line, pumped full of protein and propaganda, cross trained as interchangeable parts for efficiency, then given one last motivational booster shot: "The graduation ceremonies at Vung Tau were something else.", Donohue chortled, "At night. Total darkness. Then the one candle lit. Oh! This is schmaltz! Remember, these kids have never seen anything like this. The pageantry!"

I remember one morning when my mother, Mom, was suddenly in hospice, her skinny body unexpectedly expiring, near the end - maybe a new beginning, she was laying in bed and began to lament being late for bridge with her best ole buddy Betty Bobbins.

"You're dying, Mom!" I exclaimed to explain. "...you can't play ga… "

Mom suddenly got angry - and snapped,"Gotdamnit!" She couldn't wring out what was really wrong; and being an idiot, I didn't immediately ideate that I was the one ruining - the rapturous reality where she wished to exist while she went... wherever?

Well, anyway, I will always appreciate that she was sorta consoling as she disconnected - smiling a little as she slipped away, and learned a li’l lesson about spoiling the illusion of not so lost, struggling souls similarly experiencing some existential crisis.



Why would anyone wanna rule/ruin our world?

Well, Webster Tarpley, in his 2006 plausible analysis of Synthetic Terror, actually describes the 46 drills, and the “network of moles, patsies, paramilitary pros, private intelligence and corporations” who pulled the plunger on 9-11… Perhaps more importantly, Webster Tarpley perfectly predicted the flood of false flags in The Times today - while also defining the financial faction of fanciful foxes who flash the notion that, nihilism being the boring alternative, evil and good are necessary opposites powering the world in which we live. So, casting their shadow in Plato’s Cave, neo-cons (for instance) were readily willing to wreck reality - manufacturing murder and mayhem and annihilating the nothingness of peace and prosperity, to reap the rewards of their crooked campaigns and exploit the experience for themselves! The more egregious their evil, the greater their gain - of ill gotten goods, so the World’ll be better for mad-hatters who matter…

(… and probably badder for madder had-ers!)

Gary Allen, in his short little scribble from '72, succinctly describes some savvy old schools - and the slippery tricks they've tried and trued - to divide and rule - the rest of us here around the world. So, it’s easy to see how, scientifically perfecting their schemes, those big old banks have bullied and branched into - the bigger behemoths they have become.

Brainwashing works... so soldiers will kill. Most who participate proudly proclaim to be part of The Team; predisposed to quote an oath, they sign a concordance to swear their allegiance, insure their silence, and managing their mission no matter what, comport their responsibility to their respective peers.


Open your peepers and I’m sure you’ll see that there's certainly no shortage of reckless, professional political consultants systematically pushing our buttons and pulling the strings of their O' so plentiful politicians. Puh-uh-leaze! The Pedaestos’ compulsions are potentially impotent; but considering the company they’re apparently keeping - and their constant connections to organized criminal governmental activity, their keenest accomplishment would continue to be - no one's aware of what they are doing??

... THE WIRING OF “PERCEPTION BOMBS”

The detonation of a false flag “terrorist” bomb can be thought of – in a ones-and-zeroes sense – as pure information. It can simultaneously be thought of as disinformation, because of its origin and agency.

All meaning is negotiated. For most people the meaning of a false flag “terrorist” bomb is “negotiated” with the mass media. This is a one-sided negotiation for most people who have themselves – what is called “the illusion of the unified self” [14] – on one side, and the media and other controlled aspects of “reality” on the other.

One upshot, isolated for our purposes here, is to make false flags completely real for most people most of the time. This is true because it’s true that most people get most of their information about most things most of the time from the mainstream media. And even though more and more people are increasingly getting information from non-MSM – mainly Internet-accessed – sources the MSM continue to impose our main dose of “reality” through a combination of agenda-setting, disinformation and critical omissions – all persuasive and repetitive.

False flag ops are real even for those of us who are skeptics – but in a significantly different way. We skeptics are forced to acknowledge the truth that these lies are “the truth” for most others. Hence the paradox in the flashline at the top, that the “illusion” of the so-called “war on terror” is “real.”

Simple, yet complex.

“LANGUAGE IS EVERYTHING” [15]

So how is Maximum Illusion Time created and maintained? First, by language. The term “war on terror,” for instance, is literally [16] broadcast, heard, published, read and spoken thousands of times per hour, 24/7, worldwide. This has been true year in and year out since 9/11. This repetition alone creates a huge chunk of “reality.”

The two pillars of communication are persuasiveness and repetition. Explosions and bombings and arrests of dark- skinned bearded young men with Arab names, and court cases involving them and successful conviction of them and jailing of them are persuasive “facts,” to say the least, for most people unaware of the webs of deceit involved almost every step of the way in almost every case.

Integral to the phrase “war on terror” are images. No wonder. That phrase appears in headlines in close proximity to pictures of burned-out cars, blood-spattered marketplaces or mug shots of dark skinned bearded young men with Arab names – or pictures of them being led away in handcuffs or…

Inherent in the images are concepts...

... MAN AND HIS SYMBOLS


Symbols are oracular forms - mysterious patterns creating vortices in the substance of the invisible world. They are centers of a mighty force, figures pregnant with an awful power, which, when properly fashioned, loose firey whirlwinds upon the Earth
- Manly P. Hall, Lectures on Ancient Philosophy


In order to understand the occult script for 9/11, one must possess at least a rudimentary knowledge of occult practice, and learn the basic language of occult communications and operations. Any good investigator will also seek to get inside the criminal mind, to occupy their psychic space, to see the world through their eyes, to understand how they think and why they act act as they do.

THE OCCULT SCRIPT FOR 9/11: A GRIMOIRE


... “Effectively a grimoire is a book of black magic, and just as grammar describes a fixed set of symbols and the means of their incorporation to properly produce well-formed, meaningful sentences and texts, a grimoire describes a set of magical symbols and how best to properly combine them in order to produce the desired effects. True grimoires contain elaborate rituals,"(2) which, as will be seen, 9/11 most certainly was...

OCCULT PRACTICE


In Chapter 18 of Manly P. Hall’s The Secret Teachings of All Ages, entitled “Ceremonial Magic and Sorcery”, he states that, “Ceremonial magic is the ancient art of invoking and controlling spirits by a scientific application of certain formulae.” 9/11 was the largest scale occult ritual in history, a globally-televised hideous act of ceremonial magic.

Powerful numbers and symbols played key roles in this global ceremony. Co-founder of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, William Wynn Westcott (1848-1925) writes, “The followers of Pythagoras … referred every object, planet, man, idea, and essence to some number or other, in a way, which to most moderns must seem curious and mystical to the highest degree… ‘The numerals of Pythagoras,’ says Poryhyry, who lived about 300 A.D., ‘were hieroglyphic symbols, by means whereof he explained all ideas concerning the nature of things.’”

Reinforcing the importance of numbers in occult thought, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831-1891), one of the founders of the Theosophical Society, writes in Isis Unveiled, “Numbers are a key to the ancient views of cosmogony - in its broad sense, spiritually as well as physically considered and to the evolution of the present human race; all systems of religious mysticism are based on numerals. The sacredness of numbers begins with the Great First Cause, the One, and ends only with the naught or zero — symbol of the infinite and boundless universe.”

“Numbers,” echoes Carl Gustav Jung in Man and His Symbols, “are not concepts consciously invented by men for purposes of calculation. They are spontaneous and autonomous products of the unconscious.”



Perhaps, Prince Ray puts some the pieces of this complex puzzle into a historical perspective that might make sense:

https://mindcontrolblackassassins.com/2 ... hueys-way/
... It’s difficult to sum up of what the Frankfurt School of Germany was. Most of following comes from Satan’s Secret Agents: The Frankfurt School and Their Evil Agenda. The Frankfurt School were mostly Germany Jewish scholars, who developed highly provocative and original perspectives on contemporary society and culture, drawing on Hegel, Marx, Nietzsche, Freud, and Weber. The Frankfurt School plotted among themselves to corrupt and disrupt culture and society’s very core principles without an invading army. When Hitler and Nazis came to power, the Institute was closed and its members, by various routes, fled to the U.S.and ended up deeply imbedded at major academic universities across the country such as Columbia, Princeton, Brandeis, Stanford and California at Berkeley.

Basically, the Frankfurt School believed that as long as an individual had the belief — or even the hope of belief — that his divine gift of reason could solve the problems facing society, then that society would never reach the state of hopelessness and alienation that they considered necessary to provoke a socialist revolution. Their task, therefore, was as swiftly as possible to undermine the “Judaeo-Christian legacy.”

... Due to chronic symbol illiteracy, we live our lives largely unaware of a great poison in our midst, something that has a profoundly negative effect on our conscious and unconscious selves. This is the use of subliminal persuasion in media and advertising. Subliminal and subtextual persuasion of this pernicious kind constitutes nothing less than a psychic dictatorship. It involves the deliberate and subversive manipulation and public purveyance of words, images, numbers, colors, rhythms and symbols which are subsequently directed, via ubiquitous media oracles, toward limbic areas of the brain.

The artifice of Media Persuaders produces an elaborate insidious cryptic language deliberately designed to disturb our capacity to differentiate between fantasy and reality. This artifice serves to stimulate compulsive urges and base appetites, which in turn causes cognitive and somatic conflict that gradually shuts down higher centers of reason and self-control. Constant exposure to subliminal content serves to undermine healthy drives. It subverts our moral sensibility and ultimately arrests psychological maturation. The devastating effects of this subversion has rarely been explored in depth. It has yet to be recognized by the public at large, who - being victims of chronic symbol illiteracy - are unshielded against the constant barrage of subliminal content entering their minds, causing, over time, a nightmare list of physical and psychic disorders.

Robert D. Mcllwraith of the University of Manitoba states that the main attraction of television-watching is not the content of programming, but a dependency on the medium itself...The volume of television-watching in the United States might be seen as indicative of an addiction. It is estimated by the Smithsonian Institute that the average American household has the television on seven and a half hours per day. The average American watches twenty-five hours of television per week. The average preschool child watches television about twenty-eight hours per week, and the average elementary school age child watches twenty-four hours per week. By the completion of high school, a child can be expected to have watched 15,000 hours of television-far more than the child's accumulated hours of classroom time and more than any other activity except sleep - Ronald Schenk (Spirit in the Tube)


The alarming existential chaos which the young presently experience, though deplored and ignored, serves as a direct indictment of the symbolic subversion I expose. The young are, by definition, closer to the creative force than the average adult. They are also more influenced by the limbic brain and, therefore, respond with greater zeal to the erotic and often perverse symbolic messages becoming increasingly pervasive throughout their life- and think-space. The invasive, clandestinely directed content is adroitly designed to subvert a child's fragile moral conscience and rational filter. The results of this psychic dictatorship are devastating.

...research has shown that in the first few milliseconds of our perceiving something we do not only unconsciously comprehend what it is, but decide whether we like it or not; the cognitive unconscious" presents our awareness with not just the identity of what we see, but an opinion about it. Our emotions have a mind of their own, one which can hold views quite independently of our rational mind - Daniel Goleman (Emotional Intelligence)

Subliminal messages permeate television programs, computer games, magazines, billboards, products and musical productions. They are, however, not limited to the ambience of the young. They are just one of the weapons in the arsenal of psychopathic corporations whose modus operandi not only concerns profit but dehumanization in an Orwellian sense. All that is truly aesthetic, traditional and culturally substantial, stands in the way of their inhuman strategies and agenda; their relentlessly aggressive efforts at reducing the human race to a body of narcissistic, sense-infatuated, desensitized, amoral, immoral or criminal "smiling depressives."

...

Down through the centuries, symbols and their subtle meanings are memorized. They become part of the collective phylogenetic reservoir. They constitute part of the "Race Memory." Consequently, when certain symbols are used, they invariably stimulate reactions, often emotional and sexual. Some symbols were, and still are, specifically designed to affect the limbic centers of the brain. In primitive cultures we hear of the voodoo doctor and his attendant zombie. Before he fell under the spell of his master, the zombie was a live, active, thinking person. His will was weakened because he was slowly and surreptitiously administered the juice of the Datura plant, which drugged him into a chronic state of mental and physical passivity. Each day, lest he revive, the zombie is forced against his will to ingest more of the potion.

Today we see a similar process at work, only with greater frequency and over a larger demographic. In this case, the "Datura" is not organic but auditory, visual and digital. We are reigned over by technological witchdoctors and cyberspace sorcerers. Their particular concoction of spells are cast via techniques that go by names such as Tele-hypnosis, Metacontrast, Hemisync, Synaesthenia and Embedding. New techniques, yes, but with the same deadly effect as any past voodoo, sorcery or telepathy. Recently, a professional hypnotist declared that the very skills used to lull a mind into a state of suggestibility are unquestionably those used by advertising agents.

... Solomon was a Master Magician and Sorcerer. Solomon knew the “Forces of Spirits” or “Powers of Spirits.” Solomon had access to a “Book of Mysteries” which empowered him to use DEMONS to accomplish tasks. He had a number of sacred magical texts (grimoires) penned in his name...

... In the Eucharist Alchemy Blood Ritual, you consume the bread and the contents of a cup that represents Christ’s body (flesh) and blood. No matter how you spin it. That represents alchemy, a supernatural and metaphysical process that transforms the cup’s contents into Jesus’ blood and the bread into his flesh...

... Yet, the Alchemist Blood Drinkers and Flesh Eaters of the legal industry continue to join ranks with Lucifer in this country and around the world. This country’s entire judicial and legal system may be DEMONIC, contaminated, poisonous and corrupt- Right out front in our faces. When you bathe yourself in that Red Robe, Veil or touch it during the Red Mass, it also represents that magic blood coating or the sprinkle of the Tauroblium (Bull’s BLOOD) or Priesthood (Galla) BLOOD commanded by the Magna Mater (Cybele), it is also an initiation into her mysteries through metaphysics, alchemy, and Third Rite of Acceptance...





"Gangstalking" socially conditions some special projects to say something specious, then trick ’em to think that they thought it themselves:

https://gangstalkingismurder.wordpress. ... -stalking/

... The following quotes, coming from the former Professor of Criminal Justice at John Jay College in NYC, a favored College for the NYPD and other law enforcement agencies, are very revealing:

“Gang Stalking has many similarities to workplace mobbing, but takes place outside in the community, where the target is followed around and placed under surveillance by groups of organized civilian spies/snitches 24/7, 365 days a year. Targeted Individuals are harassed in this way for months or years before they realize that they are being targeted by an organized program of gang-stalking harassment. This is very similar to what happened to many innocent individuals in the former East Germany or activists and dissidents in the former Soviet Union. Many innocent people in the former East Germany would be targeted for these harassment programs, and then their friends, family, and the community at large would be used to monitor, prosecute, and harass them. In the former USSR it was used by the state to target activists, political dissidents, or anyone that the Secret Police thought was an “enemy of the state,” or as “mentally unfit,” and many were institutionalized or murdered using this form of systematic control.”

“Targets can be chosen for many reasons: (1) political views; (2) whistle-blowing; (3) political dissidence; (4) asserting rights at work; (5) making the wrong enemy; (6) too outspoken; (7) investigating something that the state does not want investigated; (8) signing a petition; (9) writing a letter; (10) being “suspicious” by a civilian spy/snitch; or (11) being a religious/ethnic/racial minority.

The goal of the COPS state sanctioned organized gang-stalking program is to isolate the target from all forms of support, so that the target can be set up in the future for arrest, institutionalized, or forced suicide. Other goals of this harassment are to destroy the targets reputation and credibility, and to make the target look “crazy” or unstable.

The process often involves sensitizing the target to every day stimuli’s as a form of control, which is used to control targets when they “get out of line.” Targets of this harassment become vulnerable and destitute, and often become homeless, jobless, have a breakdown, are driven to suicide, similar to targets of the banned COINTELPRO. The government eliminates perceived “enemies of the state” in this manner... (con'd)



Official protectors throughout the spectrum of alphabet agencies, past to present, have provably appropriated the proper prosecution of special op perps… to pop another op - to stop, or not.

You control a person's life space, control the information flow, talk to them, talk to them, talk to them, convince them, convince them, convince them, frighten them, terrorize them, soften them up with hypnosis, drugs - which can be IV drugs or drugs by mouth (or aerosol).

I’ve sorely appreciated the perceptive people on these prickly pages who perspicaciously replied with some circumspection; but maybe, perhaps, a re-publicly programmed - repressed - population is less problematic - and much more purposeful - than the renaissance citizenry in a free society. So, I presently perceive no decent reason for an idiot like me to search and describe the deep depths of a certainly speculative black abyss - because it's simply insensible to ostensibly peruse such potentially sensitive, touchy subjects when the press is preposterous and people are people - who will probably be punishing (pretty soon) for simply perceiving a paradigm where we're not imprisoned and justice prevails; and after so many years of personally researching, semi-serious to silly expression, shoveling and sifting through General Discussion - purging the preponderance of pretentious, predictable, (possibly paid) pushy poseurs planting their lips on the popular poopers ruthlessly slandering the stupid slugs who dare disagree with the trippy tribe, I still expected the probability that maybe the mud was a modus operandi to purposefully furrow some pertinent pearls…

Caves

I was a teenager back in the 70’s when I found myself lost in Cave of the Winds… in Colorado - for maybe an hour - late one summer moonlit night.

Earlier that day, my bud and I paid to tour the well known attraction in Manitou Springs, and as we drove through the canyon returning to town, we saw some spelunkers - rising from the rocks beside the road. Someone had mentioned another entrance to the magnificent caverns, so seeking an adventure with four friends from Texas, we waited ’til dark, then hiked back up the canyon road, where we found our way to that hole in the hill.

I'd already toured the Luray Caverns in western Virginia the year before - where the tour guide turned off the lights deep inside, so we could see for ourselves how dark it can be; and we could see nothing, nothing at all, not even our fingers in front of our faces!

So, with flashlights in both hands for each of us, we slipped through this small little entrance, covered by a grate with a broken lock, where we discovered a trail - beneath the ground, winding between some jagged boulders and gigantic slabs of solid stone that had collapsed and tumbled - over time immemorial - in a subterranean wonderland that wasn’t included with the tour we’d taken.

I wandered away from the rest of the group, by myself with my little flashlights and maybe a lighter, to explore a crease between some boulders - and eventually into another vast opening; which I thought I explored for only a minute, before finding myself - all alone - in another unknown, treacherous region, where I could barely remember the way to return to the rest of the Texans - whose non-stop voices had suddenly stopped. For all I knew, they’d already moved from the dark maze where I had left them; so immediately realizing that I should pay attention, I was fortunately able to find my way back to where I belonged - and nobody slipped from any of those slabs - way down deep in the dark abyss.

Since then, I have dragged myself through some very tight spots that I could barely squeeze through to reach the next tunnel toward a rocky room - in the Caves of the Winds, and the Glenwood Caverns - another extensive underground labyrinth throughout the canyons surrounding the Springs on the western slope.

Like Tom, Huck and Injun Jim finding their way in a deep dark cavern - with only crude torches to light their way, how many adventurers - throughout the span of human existence - have lost their way beneath the horizon?? A few spelunkers of every generation, from our earliest ancestors to present day, have found their way into these nether places to shine their light on water dripping in underground pools and iridescent calcium columns… I don’t know about Indonesia, but the caves around here are a plethora of portals, which once in awhile will open up into these enormous, spectacular, surreal chambers - parallel worlds within our world, mostly uninitiated to the concept of light - until some intrepid explorer shines a beam on whatever they happen to find within…

Waking up wondering in a dark, dirty place is a common nightmare most sane people really don’t care to actually experience: The sudden demise of your flashlights’ batteries, no food, iffy water, maybe some fire for as long it lasts, trapped by flooding, wet as a rat, probably cold - scrambling in the dark on slippery rocks - wandering blindly, farther and farther from where you entered - to explore and partake an impromptu adventure??

Image


I’m definitely glad that they found these kids in Thailand - all alive, against all odds - lost and hungry for over 9 days… Good for them!! But, then again… I don’t know… as glad as I am... just from experience, maybe it’s all natural, but I simply don’t trust the News no more; and it sorta makes sense this national nightmare might’ve been staged from the very start... as another sensational mainstream distraction for some kinda psycho/social operation… maybe to move the morale of a poor population with a potential tragedy, miraculously followed by this marvelous image of the multi-talented military men and technological entrepreneurs saving the children on television??

Hell yea! Go for it guys!! Get those boy scouts outta that pit!!!

I’m crossing my fingers they all make it home, alive and well, before the new season of Game of Thrones.

Cheers

Why Are Trump’s Pupils So Unusually Large?


A wandering of wonderings winding around the world wide web… (fwiw)

How Imagination Can Affect Your Reality??


Barely remembering the reason I rented and dreading to watch this spiritual requiem when I received the disk and re-read the description, I fell asleep for the first freakin’ hour, before - for me, the film flipped affirmatively from something eccentric to something suddenly extra-sensorial, when I began to begat the breadth and scope of what I was seeing… on that big/li’l screen - so many exceptional, smart little scenes - for a super-surreal, special perceptual cinema experience I had to see - twice - to sorta understand and actually appreciate the extraordinary subtleties of this psychically tortuous surreal drama…



A former military chaplain is wracked by grief over the death of his son. Mary is a member of his church whose husband, a radical environmentalist, commits suicide, setting the plot in motion.


Image


The irreverent Reverend: So, Mary is pregnant. How far along is she?

Mary’s husband, Michael: Twenty weeks.

Reverend: Congratulations.

Michael: Thanks… (pause)… Yeah, How old are you Reverend?

Reverend: I’m 46.

Michael: … Uh, 33. That’s how old our child will be 2050.

Reverend: Uh hum, uh hum.

Michael: You know, that’s two years older than I am right now… You’ll be 81.

Reverend:Uh hum… Yeah!

Michael: Hey, you know what the world will be like in 2050?

Reverend: Hmm. Hard to imagine.

Michael: Yeah. you think? I mean, Reverend, the world is changing so fast. And right in front of us. I mean, one third of the natural world has been destroyed in your lifetime. You know, the earth’s temperature will be three degrees centigrade higher. Four is the threshold. You know, “Severe widespread, and irreversible impacts.” And when scientists say stuff like that, you know? And National Center for Atmospheric Research… Lawrence Livermore, Potsdam Institute…

Reverend (voice over, from his diary, as Michael voice fades): He went on like that for some time. By 2050, sea levels two feet higher on the East Coast. Low lying areas underwater across the world. Bangladesh, 20% loss of landmass. Central Africa, 50% reduction in crops due to drought. The western reservoirs dried up. Climate change. Refugees. Epidemics. Extreme weather.

Michael (continues); You know, the bad times , they will began, and from that point everything moves very quickly. You know, this social structure can’t bear the stress of multiple crises. opportunistic diseases, anarchy, martial law, the tipping point. And this isn’t in some, like, distant future. You will live to see this. You know, my children will experience this un-livability. This uh… Yeah, I’m sorry. I just… you know, I… I thought things could change, you know? I thought… I thought people would listen.

Reverend: Do you have thoughts of harming yourself?

Michael: No. Why? Did Mary say something like that?

Reverend: No, no.

Michael: No, I’m not worried for myself. I just… this world… is gonna be what it is. But, can I ask you a question, Reverend?

Reverend: Mm-hmm.

Michael: How do you sanction bringing in a little girl… Uh, for argument’s sake, let’s just say that, uh… Mary and I’s child, it’s a little girl…. (long pause) You know, a child that’s so full of hope… and naive beliefs into a world where that little girl, uh… she grows up to be a young woman and she looks you in the eyes and she’s says that you knew this all along, didn’t you? You see that. I mean, what are you supposed to say then?

Reverend: There’s something growing inside Mary. Something as a live as a tree, surely. As an endangered species. Something full of the beauty and mystery of nature. You said sanction, hmm? You think Mary should have an abortion? This birth, is that your right? Is that your decision? Have you asked Mary what she thinks? … (pause)… Look, this isn’t… it’s not about your baby. It’s not about Mary. It’s about you… and your despair. Your lack of hope. Look, people throughout history have woken up in the dead of night confronted by blackness. The sense that our lives are without meaning. The sickness and the death…

Michael: Yeah, but this is something different.

Reverend: Yeah, no, man’s great achievements have brought him to the place where life as we know it may cease in the foreseeable future. Yes, that’s new. But the blackness? That’s not. We’re scientific people. We want to solve things. We want rational answers. Right? And if humankind can’t overcome its immediate interests enough to ensure its own survival, then you’re right. The only rational response is despair. But do you think that there’s any existence apart from this? This here right now?

Michael: Yes

Reverend: Yeah, right before us. After us. Yeah.

Michael: Wait. So you’re talking about the next lifetime, huh? You really…

Reverend: (voiceover, as Michael keeps talking): I felt like I was Jacob wrestling all night with the angel. Fighting in the grasp. Every sentence, every question, every response, a moral struggle. It was exhilarating.

Michael: Do you believe in martyrdom, Reverend?

Reverend: I’m not sure I know what you mean.

Michael: You know, the saints of God. The early Christians who wouldn’t renounce their faith? The missionaries who were attacked in the fields of the Lord. Do you believe that they died for a purpose?

Reverend: I do.

Michael: Every week activists are killed trying to protect the environment. A hundred and seventeen were killed last year for their beliefs…. You know, in 2010 the IPCC predicted that if drastic action wasn’t taken by 2015, environmental collapse would be irreversible. And nothing was done. And now it’s 2017.


Reverend: You said you respected me. What I’ve been through.

Michael: Yes.

Reverend: So you know my story, hmm?

Michael: Yeah, you were a chaplain.

Reverend: Uh huh. My father taught at VMI. I encourage my son to enlist. It was the family tradition. Like his father, my father before me, hmm. A patriotic tradition. My wife… was very opposed. My son enlisted anyway. And six months later he was dead in Iraq. Right? I talked my son into a war that had no moral justification. My wife could no longer live with me. I left the military. I was lost. And Reverent Jeffers from Abundant Life, he gave me this position at First Reformed and here I am. And Michael, I can promise you that whatever despair you feel about bringing a child into this world cannot equal the despair of taking a child from it.

(long pause)

Michael: Hey, what was his name? Your son?

Reverend: Joseph… The boy thrown down the well.

Michael: Yeah, I remember.

Reverend: Mm-hmm.

Michael: The dreamer.

Reverend: The dreamer, yeah. Yeah.

Michael: And you were able to just go on?

Reverend: Courage… is the solution to despair. Reason… provides no answers. I can’t know what the future will bring. We have to choose despite uncertainty. Wisdom is holding two contradictory truths in our mind, simultaneously. Hope and despair. A life without despair is a life without hope. Holding these two ideas in our head is life itself.

(long pause)

Michael: Are you a drinking man, Reverend? (pointing to his whiskey bottle on a shelf behind him)

Reverend: It doesn’t help.

Michael: No, I suppose not. (long pause… ) Can God forgive us? … For what we’ve done to this world?

Reverend: (pausing to think, then speaking softly…) I don’t know. Who can know the mind of God? But we can choose…. a righteous life. Belief. Forgiveness. Grace covers us all. I believe that…

Let’s meet again. Want to? Tomorrow after lunch, same time.

Michael: Okay, yeah, it’s a plan.

[…]

Reverend (voice over as he’s back in his rectory, drinking his own whiskey as he writes in his diary.): I went over everything that was said, what should have been said, what could have been said differently, what could have been said better… “I know that nothing can change and I know there is no hope.” Thomas Merton wrote this. “Despair is a development of pride so great that it chooses one’s certitude rather than admit God is more creative than we are.” Perhaps it’s better that I didn’t say that to him.

Our brains look at imagination a lot like reality

POSTED 3:06 PM, DECEMBER 10, 2018, BY KEVIN TORRES, UPDATED AT 12:18PM, DECEMBER 11, 2018

(video at link)

BOULDER — A new study from CU Boulder shows when it comes to imagination, our brains can perceive it to be a lot like reality. 

According to the lead researcher, Marianne Reddan, who spent five years working on the project, the study looks at how people can imagine something they learned through personal experiences that may have been threatening or dangerous — but by virtue of their imagination, they can change the way their body and mind react to it when they’re re-exposed to it in the real world.

In the study, 68 people were trained to be afraid of a sound they had never heard before by pairing it with shock, Reddan explained.

"And then we had them imagine that sound by playing the sound in their head to the best of their ability over and over again,” she said.

By virtue of this imagination, the participants were able to tap into some fear based circuitry that’s unconscious and change the value associated with the sound.

Researchers are hoping these finding will help some people recover from traumatic experiences.

"I think it says something actually quite profound [about humans]. I think it means you possess within yourself this profound tool to really change the way you experience your world - just by virtue of your imagination,” Reddan said.

CU Boulder study finds imagination could be as effective as reality

Imagine one of your greatest fears. Now imagine it again. And again. And again.

After confronting the fear enough times in your head, your mind may stop reacting to it and you could find there's not much fear left at all, according to a new study from researchers at University at Colorado and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York that was published in the journal Neuron.

The study found that imagining fears may be just as effective as exposure therapy as facing them head-on, according to a news release from CU.

"This research confirms that imagination is a neurological reality that can impact our brains and bodies in ways that matter for our well-being," Tor Wager, director of the Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience Laboratory at CU and a senior author on the study, said in a statement.

Clinicians are using the imagination more and more often as a tool to affect the brain, so the authors of the study say that more research into the area is necessary.

Wager said people should actively manage their imaginations, as it can be used "constructively to shape what your brain learns from experience."

About one-third of people in the United States have anxiety disorders, including phobias, according to the release. For decades, clinicians have used exposure therapy — asking patients to face their fears — to treat anxiety and phobia disorders.

In the CU study, researchers trained 68 participants to associate a sound with an uncomfortable electric shock. The participants were then divided into three groups: some were exposed to the same sound, some were asked to imagine the sound in their heads, and some were asked to imagine pleasant sounds, like birds and rain. None of the groups experienced further shocks.

Researchers then measured the participants' responses to the sounds, both real and imagined, in their minds and bodies using skin sensors and functional magnetic resonance imaging, or fMRI.

They found that participants who imagined the threatening sound and the participants who actually heard it had "remarkably similar" brain activity, according to the release. The three parts of the brain that process sound, fear, and risk and aversion all lit up on the fMRI.

After repeated exposure to the sound, whether real or imaginary, those two groups also experienced "extinction." This means they lost their fear of the sound. After facing its fear in a safe setting, the brain learned to no longer be afraid — even when it only faced the fear in its imagination.

The group of participants who imagined pleasant sounds, like birds, had different brain reactions and maintained a fearful response to the threatening sound associated with the electric shocks.

"Statistically, real and imagined exposure to the threat were not different at the whole brain level, and imagination worked just as well," said Marianne Cumella Reddan, the lead author of the study and a graduate student in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at CU.

There was greater variance in brain activity within the group who imagined the sound, however, Reddan said. This suggests people with more vivid imaginations might experience greater brain changes when trying to simulate something inside their heads.

Reddan said the new study shows that the imagination could be even more useful for updating memories than previously believed.

By using the imagination, people can repackage the memories that cripple them. It can help people change the way they think about memories that aren't useful, and might stop you from taking on new challenges or make you irrationally fearful of certain things.

Prior research has shown that using the imagination can activate neural connections in the brain related to doing the tasks in real life, which can improve one's performance of the tasks. Research also has shown it's possible to update or change memories stored in the brain by adding new details through the imagination.

Dioramas, drama and the dome of St. Peter's: Assessing the subjectivity of Bible museums

Dec 12, 2018
by Maria Benevento

"On your walk through biblical history, you’ll encounter a realistic Garden of Eden, animatronic Noah, Flood dioramas, stunning video displays, and much more. Prepare to believe!"

Image


That's how the website for the Creation Museum, a 75,000-square-foot facility in Petersburg, Kentucky, sums up the exhibits that millions have visited since it opened in 2007.

The Creation Museum is just one of a host of biblically themed tourist attractions around the U.S., including the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C.; the BibleWalk wax museum in Mansfield, Ohio; the Christ in the Smokies Museum and Gardens in Gatlinburg, Tennessee; and biblical stage shows in Branson, Missouri, and Lancaster, Pennsylvania; all of which seek to pull visitors into the world of the Bible.

Catholic experts say an embodied experience of faith, assisted by visual aids, physical journeys or other aesthetic elements, can bring people closer to God. But they also caution that Bible tourist attractions often come with a particular agenda that may not harmonize completely with a Catholic view of Scripture.

There's no reason for Catholics to totally dismiss the value of a particular biblical exhibit just because it comes from a non-Catholic perspective, said Fr. John Kartje, the rector of Mundelein Seminary at the University of St. Mary of the Lake, near Chicago.

Accurate displays on life in first-century Palestine, for example, can have "a really strong positive effect," Kartje said. They acknowledge the "human hunger" to recognize the reality of biblical figures and culture and can offer "that sense of being able to step out of your time and culture or language" to understand the "incarnate experience" of what it would have been like to be present during biblical times.

Although Kartje hasn't been to a faith-based biblical tourist attraction, he has been fascinated by secular Bible exhibits — such as the Field Museum in Chicago — that offer an "honest presentation" of biblical texts. He said there's no need to view any presentation of the Bible with suspicion, but it's good to have an "inquisitive and critical eye."

Of special concern to Kartje, who teaches Scripture at Mundelein and holds a Ph.D. in astrophysics, are museums that offer a Bible-based portrayal of natural history or the creation of the universe that contradicts credible scientific evidence.

"The Catholic perspective on the biblical texts certainly does not require that one would read them from this sort of literalistic perspective," he said.

While Kartje didn't mention any examples, the Creation Museum seems to embody this approach. The museum's 140 exhibits — which include a zoo, a planetarium, a 4-D special effects theater, botanical gardens and a zip line — present a literal interpretation of the Bible.

According to its website, the museum displays an allosaurus skeleton named Ebenezer as "a testament to the reality of the global Flood of Noah's day and the truth of God's word," suggests dragon myths were based on human interaction with dinosaurs and argues that "Lucy" — the famous fossil thought to be an evolutionary precursor to modern humans — was actually an extinct species of ape.

“Man's word says humans and apes evolved from a common ancestor, but God's word says THERE'S NO APE IN YOUR ANCESTRY!" reads a caption on the Lucy exhibit, visible in a virtual tour of the museum.

According to its website, both the museum and the Ark Encounter, a "sister attraction" in Williamstown, Kentucky, are an "evangelistic outreach of Answers in Genesis." Answers in Genesis is an apologetics ministry dedicated to counteracting "evolutionary ideas, and its bedfellow, a 'millions of years old' earth (and even older universe)."

The Creation Museum is honest about its ideological commitments and caters to a very specific clientele, said Candida Moss, a professor of theology at the University of Birmingham in England, but she is critical of "the kinds of historical misinformation that's being supplied" and says calling such places museums "gives them this air of authority that I don't think they should have."

In the nation's capital

Moss' research has focused on a museum she says is much less open about the worldview that underlies its mission; she authored a book with Joel Baden about the Museum of the Bible called Bible Nation: The United States of Hobby Lobby. (The museum is largely funded by the Green family that owns Hobby Lobby.)

Those who designed the museum, which opened in late 2017 and includes exhibits on archaeology, the Vatican, the Bible's impact, the world of Nazareth, the history of Israel and Billy Graham, aren't lying when they call themselves "non-sectarian," Moss told NCR. "I just don't think they understand what that really means."

Deciding what to include in a museum always involves some level of subjectivity, Moss said, and the Museum of the Bible founders began with an evangelical goal before switching to a broader educational mission.

"The problem is that these are faithful Christians, they are evangelicals, they are Protestant, and it's very difficult when you have a faith commitment to a particular understanding of what the Bible means and what the message of Jesus is to be fair to other traditions," Moss said.

This can come out in small ways, like when the museum's Bible curriculum describes Peter as the Apostle to the Jews and Paul as the Apostle to the Gentiles. That's not inaccurate, but Catholics would more often think about Peter as the first pope or the bishop of Rome, Moss said. "It's those kinds of choices that reveal bias."

In an interview with Museum of the Bible president Cary Summers, Moss asked about curatorial independence for the Vatican exhibit. Summers clarified that the Vatican would curate the exhibit, but that he emphasized the museum has the final say, Moss said.

"Their message is an evangelical Protestant one, and it's not that they don't want other Christians in the room for that conversation," Moss added. "They do. They just aren't going to let Catholics or Jews or Orthodox Christians set the agenda. And I think that's something people should be aware of."

Domestic pilgrimage opp

With a Vatican exhibit and the Sistine Chapel as one of the displays on its shifting Grand Hall ceiling, "you've basically built this premiere Catholic pilgrimage site" for those who can't go to Rome, Moss said she told Summers, "and he indicated that that's exactly what they wanted." Catholic leaders should be troubled to have "a premiere Catholic pilgrimage site that is run by Protestants," Moss said.

The idea of re-creating a pilgrimage site isn't new, said Kate Barush, a professor of art history and religion at the Jesuit School of Theology in Berkeley, California, but she'd have to go to the Museum of the Bible and interview visitors to ascertain whether the curators truly created a "pilgrimage through images" that inspires religious experience. 

[…]

Barush suggested that the appeal of biblical tourist attractions could have something in common with the grassroots projects she recently researched — such as a man who walked the Camino de Santiago in his backyard — and even with traditional Catholic devotions.

"For hundreds of years, Catholics have had a number of ‘visual aids’ through which to remember and reflect on the actions and deeds of Christ and the incarnation, from praying the Stations of the Cross on Good Friday, where the Passion is enacted to walking through the west façade of any Gothic cathedral toward the altar — Eastward towards the Holy Land and also the Sacrament," she wrote in an email to NCR. "Even if the aisle is only 10 feet long, it is, in this way, a mini-pilgrimage and an embodied devotional experience."  

Similarly, visiting a Bible exhibit "could be a way to get closer to God to make the stories of Scripture more real," she said in a follow-up conversation, pointing to the Christian tradition of using imagery "to try to activate the imagination and the idea that as your imagination is activated you can become closer to God or to the divine."

Barush said it was possible Catholics haven't created any major Bible tourist attractions because they already have so many opportunities for those embodied experiences within their faith tradition.

The lack of Catholic Bible museums could also be a symptom of less focus on the Bible compared to that of other Christian traditions, suggested Kartje, who thinks that Catholics can benefit from Bible exhibits despite the need for some level of caution.

"If your interest is intrigued, then, there's only so much that can be conveyed in a little blurb in a museum caption; go ahead and try to do a little more research," Kartje said. If a Bible exhibit is "making a pretty strong statement about who God is or what God does or how human beings relate to God, then realize it's gonna take more than just one exhibit to fully convey that."

Observers' doubts should especially inspire investigation, he added. "No one should say, 'Well, I saw it in the Bible museum, so it has to be true,' but going to make that visit perhaps is the prompt to gaining some more in-depth knowledge and experience that wouldn't have otherwise happened."

Can imagination set you free from fear?

28 November 2018

By HANNAH LAEVEREN

Researchers have demonstrated the potential of using imagination for treating anxiety related disorders by showing that imagining a threatening cue activates similar brain processes as real exposure.

If you experience something internally using your imagination, how does this affect your external experience of the world? Can we use our imagination to help us overcome our fears? This is what a recent study, published in the journal Neuron, set out to investigate.

Fear is a human instinct. “We don’t need to learn how to be afraid… but we do learn what to be afraid of,” explained Daniela Schiller, Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Neuroscience at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York. People will quickly learn to fear an unpleasant experience, and this fear can be triggered by visual or sound cues associated with that bad experience. This can severely impact quality of life and underlie emotional disorders like phobias, post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety.

Current methods for treating such disorders are based on repeated exposure to the threatening cues, known as exposure therapy and is an example of cognitive behavioural therapy. By repeatedly experiencing the threatening cues without the negative outcome, the brain can be re-trained and anxieties overcome. But this kind of treatment is not always possible. The cues might be difficult or unethical to reconstruct, or exposure to them might be too overwhelming. Therefore, using imagination in therapy could be life-changing.

But how effective is it to use imagination to unlearn fear? Researchers conducted a study to compare the effectiveness of imagining a threatening cue with being exposed to it in reality. Within one day the process of learning and unlearning fear was simulated. All participants were taught to associate a sound with an uncomfortable electric shock. Then one group underwent the traditional method of ‘real exposure’, so they were repeatedly played the sound without receiving the electric shock. A second group performed ‘imagined exposure’, so rather than hearing the sound in the real world they were asked to hear it in their head. Finally, a third group performed ‘non-specific imagination’, meaning they were asked to imagine sounds from nature like birds or rain. This was an important control because the process of imagination can have general positive outcomes. Finally, all participants were re-exposed to the sound cue to compare the effectiveness of the different approaches.

The results showed that imagination was as effective as real exposure. Not only that, at each stage MRI scans were used to look at the whole brain response. The MRI images showed that both ‘imagined exposure’ and ‘real exposure’ activated the same core network in the brain. The brain activity was not completely identical, but there is a central hub located behind the forehead, which was activated in both groups of participants and is identified as being very important for learning to reduce our defensive responses.

Daniela Schiller suggests that in the future “we could be more sophisticated users of our brain by shear understanding of how it works,” meaning that we could rely less on drugs for treating mental health.

In the age of technology do we get enough opportunity for imagination? What should you do if you want a healthy imagination? The answer: do nothing. “If you are bombarded with external stimulation, this is what captivates the brain. But if you free the brain from external stimulation you would give some room for internal processes”, continued Schiller. “I think we can improve our thought processes, our thought habits through mental action and imagination, but we need to give it opportunity. Imagination really does have an impact on actual brain processes that affect the way we will behave in the future”.

Imagination Can Change Perceptions of Reality

What we see and hear can be reshaped by our imagination.

Jun 28, 2013

Image

Researchers in Sweden have found that our imagination can change our perceptions of reality. Your mind can literally play tricks on you by changing illusions of what you think you hear and see into what seems like reality. The new study from the Karolinska Institutet is published in the scientific journal Current Biology. The findings offer new clues on how the human brain combines information from the different senses and how imagination can alter mind-brain function.

"We often think about the things we imagine and the things we perceive as being clearly dissociable," says Christopher Berger, doctoral student at the Department of Neuroscience and lead author of the study. "However, what this study shows is that our imagination of a sound or a shape changes how we perceive the world around us in the same way actually hearing that sound or seeing that shape does. Specifically, we found that what we imagine hearing can change what we actually see, and what we imagine seeing can change what we actually hear."

The Swedish study consisted of a series of experiments using illusions in which sensory information from one sense changed or distorted one's perception of another sense. These findings suggest that you can use mindfulness training to tint your world with a rose-colored hue. You can choose to look at the world through optimistic ‘rose-colored glasses’ or through a cynical and pessimistic lens. These explanatory styles can alter your perceptions of reality.

Rose Tint My World

In the first experiment, participants experienced the illusion that two passing objects collided rather than passed by one-another when they imagined a sound at the moment the two objects met. In a second experiment, the participants' spatial perception of a sound was biased towards a location where they imagined seeing the brief appearance of a white circle. In the third experiment, the participants' perception of what a person was saying was changed by their imagination of a particular sound.

These findings suggest that your explanatory style and mindfulness training can influence how you perceive reality at a neuronal level. Other research from the Weizmann Institute in Israel released on June 25, 2013 found that mental training can reshape brain waves and leave an archive of experience and expectation for 24-hours and longer.

As an athlete, I have always used mental imagery, olfaction, and music to create not only a mood and mindset but to alter my perceptions of the world around me. The smell of sunscreen and an upbeat pop-song always takes me away to a place of clear blue skies and bright sunshine even when the weather is dark, gray, and the world seems dreary. For more on this please check out my Psychology Today blog: The Neuroscience of Music, Mindset, and Motivation. 

Encoding a perception that "Sweat = Bliss" at a deep neural level allowed me to transcend physical discomfort as an Ironman triathlete and ultra-runner. As an athlete, pain became a subjective experience that I could reframe as being a source of joy. Every ‘sufferfest’ genuinely became an ecstatic process while I was competing in ultra-endurance events. The ability to use my imagination to reshape perceptions of reality allowed me to win races. Anyone can use his or her imagination to overcome difficulty and achieve success in life and sport.

Conclusion: The Power of Positive Thinking

Mental imagery and visualization can alter how we perceive the world around us. To a large extent, your mind can create reality at a neuronal level. By choosing to look on the bright side and see the proverbial glass as perpetually half-full the world around you will seem more hopeful and full of possibility.

According to the scientists at the Karolinska Institutet, the results of the current study may also be helpful for understanding the mechanisms by which the brain fails to distinguish between thought and reality in certain psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia. Another area for future research will be on brain-computer interfaces for people who are paralyzed to use their imaginations to control virtual and artificial devices.

"This is the first set of experiments to definitively establish that the sensory signals generated by one's imagination are strong enough to change one's real-world perception of a different sensory modality" says Professor Henrik Ehrsson, the principle investigator of the study.

Optimism
Positive Thinking

Winston Churchill once said, "A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty."  Research shows that on average, human beings are hardwired to be more optimistic than not. It's an admirable quality, one that can positively affect a person’s mental and physical health. Optimism can also help reduce a person’s stress and increase longevity. Some optimists consistently ascribe benevolent motives to others and interpret situations in the best possible light; others simply disassociate their internal mood from external circumstances, no matter how sticky.  Being optimistic is not necessarily always the "best" strategy, though. Research shows that tempering a sunny disposition with a small dose of realism, or even pessimism, might be the best way to build resilience and achieve one's goals.

The Pros and Cons of Optimism

Optimism doesn’t mean engaging in wishful or fantastic thinking. It’s a way of looking at the world that gives more agency to the optimist as being at least partly responsible when life is going well. Optimists have healthier outlooks and tend to live longer than their more pessimistic counterparts; they also are less susceptible to the negative effects of illness, fatigue, and depression. However, an unrealistic belief that a person’s future will be full of only positive events can lead them to take unnecessary risks, particularly with their health and finances.
  


Finally, this goofy gab began a bit giddy, but the video’s description and 3-D graphics were great for beginners getting a grasp on the hypothetical microscopic crystalline structure that scientists have come to call quasicrystals, and an exciting new concept that physicists, students and mathematicians are presently researching and now presenting as E-8 - a probably predictable, multi-dimensional model of reality that’s supposedly, possibly, a rapidly developing “unified theory of everything”…

While we can’t see or perceive a fourth dimensional version of this cube, we can at least describe it mathematically.

[…]

Theoretically, there are many dimensions, and while we can’t see them we can describe them using mathematics…

[…]

You do not need to come to terms with the existence of these dimensions in order to appreciate the bonkers weirdness of what I’m about to tell you about the eighth dimension.


I want to tell you about a particular geometric shape… actually it’s not so much a shape, it’s really more a structure - an eight dimensional lattice known simply and mysteriously as E-8.

[…]

For some reason, this eight dimensional thing known as E-8 appears to encode all of the particles and forces of our three dimensional reality.

So, let’s talk about what E-8 actually is… (con’d)

Missouri State Senator, Harry S. Truman declared on the Senate floor in 1941:

“If we see that Germany is winning, we ought to help Russia And if Russia is winning, we ought to help Germany.”

Franklin D Roosevelt, 1941:

“We’ve got to make clear to the British from the very outset that we don’t intend simply to be a good time Charlie to help the British Empire out of a tight spot and then be forgotten forever. The British empire is at stake here. It’s something that is generally not know, but British bankers and German bankers have had world trade pretty well sewn up in their pockets for a long time.”

Oliver Stone commenting:

That night, Roosevelt began to spell out his vision for a new world order:

FDR in 1941:

“I think I speak as America’s president when I say that America won’t help England to continue to ride roughshod over colonial peoples.”

Stone (commenting):

At the heart of Roosevelt’s vision was that political freedom meant economic freedom, which was in sharp contrast to the British empire’s rationale that kept the colonies poor and dependent on London. Roosevelt’s global new deal would create a financial credit system that would allow colonies to develop. Roosevelt reminded Churchill that the US’s relationship with the Philipines was to be terminated in 1946, and urged the British to do the same with their empire, which offended so many American sensibilities.


FDR:

“We look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms:

First, is freedom of speech and expression - everywhere in the world.

The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way - everywhere in the world.

The third is freedom from want - everywhere in the world.

The fourth is the freedom from fear - everywhere in the world.”

Why would a long-time Hollywood fixture professionally produce this propaganda?


A highly respected local historian recently suggested my m’lady should see Oliver Stone’s extremely substantial - 12 episode - (hardly hysterical) historical summary of the twentieth century, “The Untold History of the United States”. So (yes indeed-y), my interested missus suddenly insisted we should start with Part 1 of this strangely seminal historical series… which was well worthwhile, but wa-ay too long, with lots and lots of rarely seen footage - of many mass slaughtered military soldiers, civilian mass massacres, mass starvations and epidemics… the director’s deliberately methodical delivery darkly describing what started to seem like every human extermination in the history and pre-history of WW 2…


Anyway… during the week we were watching 1-4, before she decided to skip the series and switched the channel to some snappy discussion on CNN… Sh!t. I quickly decided to slip downstairs and skip ahead to sneak a peek at the second to last episode (and probably the best) of the dozen part series, “Prologue A,The Russian Revolution, Woodrow Wilson: Roots of Empire”.

From what I remember, Roosevelt described the ‘Germans’ and ‘English’ as the planet’s two biggest (bloodsucking) bankers (primarily responsible for the fascist style brutal enslavement and colonization of defenseless and trusting indigenous tribes and less strategic-type civilizations)… Oliver Stone monotonously narrates a quick description of “lend lease” programs - US bankers and business leaders ‘lending’ ’big money’ to Britain, the Soviet Union, and other countries to design and manufacture their military artillery, machinery, armaments and ammunition during and following World War 2…

Stone’s animations enhance his analyses of the Soviet Union’s dire defensive situation - effectively illustrating the astounding statistics of industrialization during that time of the 20th century - especially producing mayhem related manufacturing - in Germany, Japan, The Soviet Union, America, of course - and many other countries around the world - year after year after year after year. Then, Oliver Stone began to list the literally millions of military soldiers and non-combatants killed in conflicts during those days of destruction production- the casualty statistics exemplified with a horrific montage of black and white images from archival films and photos he’s found… of a life-less child amidst the civilians splayed in the destruction, where - seconds before - they worked and played on a busy downtown city street… or the windswept dispassionate snow in a desolate tundra drifting across the desiccated bodies of dozens and dozens of duly dedicated fighting soldiers - frozen solid… dead where they dropped in bloody ditches and wind blown battleground armageddons…


In my (non-inebriated) nearly passed out state, I listened to Stone say serious historians have estimated that the resolute Russians were the truly the countrymen who sacrificed more in the second world war - millions of civilians’ and soldiers’ killed, starving and suffering in the cities destroyed, before the consistently successful financiers suddenly decided to swiftly facilitate the Soviet Union’s industrial complex to quickly assemble their military machinery so USSR ‘socialist’ fighters could finally defeat the previously funded, but fatally inflated, Nazi ‘fascists’!



Coincidentally, as a quality counter-point to Oliver Stone’s slightly more mainstream director’s perspective, The Corbett Report recently released a 3-part series: The World War 1 Conspiracy, which is an excellent historical examination of exactly who instigated the First World War - which was fanatically fought for the unfair benefit of a few far-reaching financial friends.

Speaking of Corbett:




Corbett Report - Debunking a Century of War Lies

(transcript and links)



In the modern age of democracy and volunteer armies, a pretense for war is required to rally the nation around the flag and motivate the public to fight. That is why every major conflict is now accompanied by its own particular bodyguard of lies. From false flag attacks to dehumanization of the “enemy,” here are all the examples you’ll need to help debunk a century of war lies.

[…]


———————


Also, an inferential frame of reference for the subject of funding world wars (which some moron has mentioned here before): In the Shadow of Hermes is a two hour (sub-titled), absolutely classic documentary for better understanding the secret Masonic origination of the Soviet Union’s generally proficient, genocidal, rapacious agenda - enriching themselves by shooting and robbing the Russian Royals, then emptying prisons and employing some prisoners to do the same to dispossess the Soviet dissenters who dare disagree with “their government’s” decisions; starving and shooting indigenous dwellers, working them to death in slave labor prisons, for corporate profits and private fortunes…





Okay, okay… I copped a peek at Episode 5, which was definitely finer than one through four - especially the toward the end of the episode, explicitly discussing the rapid escalation of the fissionable destruction that President Dwight Eisenhower eventually expressed his deep regret for escalating the military/industrial complex.


——————



Gee whiz… I just finished glimpsing 6 thru 10… Stoned again, on and on and on and on and on and on… from one American manufactured maniacal massacre after another, many more montages of stunningly sickening black and white, and - color - photos, and - moving pictures - of the horribly deformed, bleeding and suffering men, women and children writhing amongst the countless corpses, accompanied by the worthless words and poignant pictures of the supposedly respectable world leaders, smiling and shaking each others’ soft digits… Aldrich, Wilson… Kissinger, Bushes… and all our presidents preceding since, definitely including our 45th President Donald Drumpf.


From Part 9 on, Stone exclaims that 9/11 was plainly planned by Saudi Arabian Osama Bin Ladin; to perpetrate wars in the Middle East… for The Project for a New American Century, a clique comprising W’s cabinet, representing the war corporations - Stone explains as their corporate logos scroll across the video screen - so we can see who Bush's cabinet was representing, spending any surplus Clinton created; which was “exactly what Bin Ladin would’ve wanted.”


Whatever.


Episode 10 essentially continued an extended re-visiting of the official version of mainstream terror, never mentioning the impossibility of two big Boeings totally destroying the entire WTC complex!


@ 12 minutes into Part 10:

“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”
- Voltaire


Eleven’s the best episode overall.


Twelve was the worst, but still worthwhile.

‘Someone will make money by stoking fears’ – Ron Paul on new US missile doctrine
Published time: 18 Jan, 2019 04:15

The new US missile defense strategy is a boondoggle for the military-industrial complex, which will drive the US into more debt and can bring misery upon multiple nations by fueling an arms race, ex-US Congressman Ron Paul said.

Plans to weaponize space with a new layer of sensors unveiled by Trump as part of his administration's Missile Defense Review is an unnecessary and hard-to-implement project that is sure to enrich the military-industrial lobby, Paul told RT.



“The biggest issue here is someone is going to make a lot of money on it. It reminds me of Star Wars. They've never really developed it, but people got excited about it," Paul said, drawing parallels between President Donald Trump's new endeavor and former President Ronald Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative program.

Addressing the Pentagon on Thursday, Trump said that the goal of deploying ground-based interceptors to Alaska and sensors in space is to stop missile launches by hostile powers over their own territory.

Paul says the scale of the threat to US security has been overblown and does not warrant such extravagant means, which might not end up being efficient.

“I’m all for having defensive weapons if necessary, but I can't quite see the danger that they are talking about that we have to now go much further into debt on something that can take many, many years and there are questions on how well it would work,” he said.

The mammoth project is another way of throwing more money at the military, Paul said, noting that the US is “already running a trillion-dollar debt every year” and will have to borrow money to pay for the futuristic missile defense shield.

National debt stands at over $21 trillion and continues to surge, with the federal deficit projected to top $1 trillion by 2020. 

While it remains to be seen if Congress approves the major increase in funding that would be required to implement Trump's plan, Paul says it's unlikely to be nearly as contentious as Trump's $5bn border wall that triggered a record-breaking government shutdown.

“But it seems like the money they spend on the military-industrial complex never gets the same scrutiny as some of these political issues," Paul said.

Defense, unlike other political issues, tends to transcend party lines, as it “is more involved with money than anything else.”

“Fiscal conservatives are big spenders as much as liberals,” he said.

Of course, it also comes in handy to have the “usual scapegoats, the countries that they are able to stir animosity towards.”

The US will inevitably whip up an arms race if it adopts the new strategy, since no country singled out in the review – such as Russia, China, and 'rogue nations' Iran and North Korea – are going to ignore the US military beef-up. Those who will suffer the most from this are ordinary people who will have to carry the burden of the defense costs.

“Often these arguments get carried away to the point when one side is up-betting another side, building more and more and the only people that seem be really hurt from this are the people of the countries whose finances are drained,” Paul said.

And to consent to such massive spending, people have to be intimidated, the ex-congressman believes – thus, the negative media response to Trump's announced withdrawal from Syria or thawing relations with North Korea.

“As if we've just created WWIII by suggesting they are not going to stay there,” Paul said, adding that the military-industrial complex profiteers and pro-war politicians appear to be in control of the propaganda machine.

I was recently reminded of a sorta forgotten subliminal memory… from sometime in September of 2001, when a younger sibling showed me a picture of he and some sidekicks sitting on barstools imbibing some beers at the ‘Cheers’ Bar in Boston… Massachusetts - with Monday Night Football on the TV behind ‘em… Maybe you remember our beloved Broncos beginning the season with a big, big win (in a bitter battle) vs the Super Bowl champion Big-Apple Giants… before bro blew back home - just ahead of the hateful hajis who hijacked that Boeing from Boston-Logan - to blast ‘The Big Wedding’ a short while later at the World Trade Center - in New York City…

Personally, I was bustin’ my butt as a construction laborer when the GW debacle was so obviously terrible and Bush was selected our Republican President, but I definitely remember that typically busy, sunny September Tuesday morning - when everyone was watching the Twin Tower smoking - on live TV… seeing the second plane swiftly but surely swerving in, then suddenly steering and disappearing in a colossal, spectacular, mainstream explosion - somewhere inside the 96th story of South Twin Tower - WTC 2…

Is anyone here who is not aware of where you were when we were brilliantly bullshit from the start?? Comparatively speaking, the seminal shock of 9/11 reminds me now of our 35th president’s ’63 assassination; except in Two Thousand One I was almost immediately intuitively sensing and instinctively sorta understanding - making me sick inside my psyche, that the mainstream media was sensationally staging this terrible terror extravaganza - with some of our government’s complicit approval, so a powerful consortium of protected professionals could fuel some fantastic conflagrations for the fun and profit of a few far-reaching financiers.



I was really disillusioned to learn the milieu smack dab in the middle of muddling and maddening the masses are, historically speaking, supposedly respectable business tycoons and wry politicians reaping the rewards of their crooked campaigns; enriching the cliques and criminal cartels razing terrain for short term gains… petroleum, opium, and coca production… distributing and dealing illegal and legal addictive drugs - mainlining the public with publicly paid for physicians’ prescriptions… fostering addicts…fomenting a flock of pharma fortunes… fighting boredom war profiteering… re-financing foreign debt… slave labor prisons… peddling sex and pedophilia… etc, so forth, so the money consortium can train and manage the military/criminal/religious cult complexes to perpetrate terror in the hearts and minds of apparently appropriated populations; paid politicians passin’ some gases as paid propagandists play their part to ply the publics’ insipid opinion to support their oppressors’ popular compulsion for propping up despots and popping unpopular populations - ‘for our protection’… any place on the planet the plutocrats please, with publicly paid for, mass produced, super expensive, extremely explosive weapons of war.

Image


Sometimes it’s seems that I strangely exist in a different dimension than my demographic - apparently programmed, typical people simply accepting the non-stop, NO, non-sensical, official history incessantly repeated on the mainstream media.

For example, as much as I’ve strived to ascertain that 9/11 was an ‘inside job’ - dang near 2 decades down the road, actually explaining to myself exactly what happened, or why it’s important how, why and who were responsible for blowing away those blasted buildings - in such a spectacular, explosive fashion - while everyone was watching on live TV, I have personally experienced that the ‘insider’ thesis is not so easily described to myself, much less to mainstream disciples who don’t dare listen to digressive discussions possibly disruptive to their personal perspective of assets and debt!

No one
I’ve personally spoken to is readily willing to seriously stop and reconsider the ridiculous version of a verily impossible science fiction with a considerably more probable explanation we see no incentive to understand.

For instance, the consistently sensational crisis industry that the USA and dozens of countries are constantly experiencing these crazy days probably indicate what could be described a craftily executed ‘psychological soft invasion’ - or ’psycho-enslavement’ - of communities committed by the criminal cartels who can cook the books to take good care of the kooky comrades carrying out orders creating the chaos across all borders - striking terror in targeted counties; and with some slight of hand magic and imagination the mainstream media sells the story splitting the seams - blatantly spilling - piles and piles of American middle class home cooked beans.

Won’t You Be My Neighbor?


“I saw people throwing pies in each other's faces and I thought, 'This could be a wonderful tool. Why is it being used this way?’


It seems to me mainstream stories are specially chosen and psych designed to evoke revulsion and especially depressing, drug effected fixed emotions, racial strive, revolting violence, and men vs women - on the edge of despair… because research has shown that rapid fire false flags fatalities are definitely effective for fostering a sorta ‘flight or fight’ stress response - so civilians are susceptible to the non-stop suggestions that scared politicians should speedily pass some anti-civilian legislation?

Coincidentally, I recently rented a randy new cine, (that somehow received a 3 star rating) - Assassination Nation; supposedly depicting present day teens insipidly addicted and deeply afflicted by social media… the designed degradation of our civilization??



Fact is, as the film unfolded, I said to myself, ‘Argh… these are some really crazy kids!’, video recording their devilish orgies - twisted scenes of (ridiculously R-rated) sh!tty sex, which someone decides to send to their associates in Salem, somewhere - where they reside. As a result the entire community goes completely crazy, setting their sights on the slutty teens suspected of releasing their embarrassing secrets - viral, violent vigilantes exacting their vile, vicious revenge on various victims, slaughtering all innocence in the streets. Then, as we’re wondering when the wailing will end, *the conclusion comes and cracks us up… making the wails a little worthwhile…
(… but not enough to recommend).


Should we take it for granted that decades ago our modern day media was definitely destined to become more demented than those darling days of the simpler 60’s, when mainstream role models were mainly moral - fully clothed with a foot on the floor; and, indeed, television is still evidently dredging the depths of visualization, steadily devolving naturally, vividly depicting evil ideas, constantly displaying scads and scads of despicable acts, setting examples - so the ne’er do well dwellers of the Sin City suburbs can see what to do and ’Do What Thou Wilt’??



“What we are witnessing in the wake of the public enactment of these alchemical psychodramas, whose spiritual consequences for mankind are far more momentous than most have thus far guessed, is a process of global occult initiation”

(@38 mins):

The world is been dragged closer to Hell to the promotion and propagation other movies such as this.

Melissa and Aaron @42 minutes:

… We go to movies… just to see what the ‘Revelation of the Method’ is this month, like: What propaganda are they hiding in this film? What’s the message now?

The message now apparently is just beyond the general debasement of society. It’s something else entirely that they’re trying to get into the minds of people now; and it’s this ‘arc’ that’s been happening ever since Hollywood began, ever since people started having television sets.

Here’s a good example of ‘the arc’… Think of the Batman series. The TV show of the 60’s was all POW! and ZAP! That was the violence. But, then the 80’s you had Jack Nicholson as The Joker. Things started getting a little darker, right? But, look at Batman today! The scenes, the themes and the characters and the things that happen are so dark it has no resemblance at all to the earlier stuff they were showing people; and that’s ’the arc of darkness that the society has been taken down like a roller coaster ride to hell!

[…]

People say it’s not a big deal, but when it becomes a trend that’s being pushed everywhere in the media, from television shows to Netflix, to the movie theaters, to mainstream media news outlets, to consumer stores, we’re talking about something else entirely; and to understand it, you kind of have to understand how electronic media especially works. It is not just a person who takes it in, but people together doing that...

Joyce Nelson said it best in her book, The Perfect Machine - Television and the Bomb:

Image


As real life experience is increasingly replaced by the mediated, “experience” of television viewing, it becomes easy for politicians and market researchers of all sorts to rely on a base of mediated mass experience that can be evoked by appropriate triggers. The TV “world” becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy: the mass mind takes shape, its participants acting according to media derived impulses and believing them to be their own personal volition arising out of their own desires and needs. In such a situation whoever controls the screen controls the future, the past, and the present.


So what kind of future is being built here?

[…]


*… ”for the lulz.”


… Realizing that our activities will sooner or later come to light, we structure our activities so that as conspiracy researchers unravel them they will release information into the public consciousness in such a way that it mirrors our initiatory procedure. In this way, the more we are investigated, the more masses of people are psychologically processed by the very people who seek to expose us. The meme that constitutes our essential structure is then successfully mimicked within the consciousness of those who investigate us. Success can then be measured precisely to the extent that our work is exposed.’

Note to Self

I’m starting to sense that the only place I’ve spuriously posited
my stupid perspective of seriously sordid mainstream stories
is presently sending a specious place to post…

sincerely…

sorry for sticking around…

so long…

After
damn near
a decade, my
sudden departure
is simply a part of an
intrepid proposal for a
’Turn off the TV’ type of program to
be more selective exploring this planet to
possibly, maybe, re-position my personal approach.


Perhaps we weren’t pleasant, but please allow me to
Thank you for letting me hang out here and helping
me figure a few things out; and please accept
my sincere apology if I have negatively affected your
fucking feelings, or somehow offended your sensitive selves.

I suspect a soul can seek and surrender to more than one
mind can possibly muster, but If the general consensus were
to suddenly study and understand who’s really responsible for
terror atrocities, and the mainstream masses seriously retaliated
as a result of realizing that r-r-revelation, the splendiferous plane
we presently experience would swiftly disintegrate as massive
redemption and horrible genocide would certainly ensue. So,

rather than enraging
a creative culture,
perhaps an appeal for
corporate computers
to compensate a
propitious populace
to place their profits
on palpable prophets,
procreating apples
instead of projectiles,
properly appreciating
the precious planet
we apparently share
and surely inherited,
so our probable off-
spring can possibly blossom.


… Thanks again… and again… Goodbye…

Wait... what?

Chump, was this goodbye? You really should have posted it in General, if it was.

Me, I'm hoping it's not. Because what you wrote, above, is poetry. Beautiful stuff... at least the half of it that I read before popping down here to post my hope that you're not leaving is beautiful. If there's some announcement that you're suffering from a deadly disease that's about to take your life in some part that I haven't read yet, please forgive me.

Yours,
Jerky

Here we go again, I guess...

Keeping in mind my personal opinion is the widely reported Epstein story is purely exploitive propaganda… programmed with purposes from several perspectives - wagging the dog with nary a mention from the mainstream media of the mensch’s connections with organized criminals competing for pieces of the deep state businesses - drugs, whores, weapons of wars… among many more.



Awhile ago in the wake of Epstein’s sudden arrest, Sofia suggested George Webb(??) … whom I wouldn’t have watched otherwise. Webb was actually a wittle worthwhile for awhile… and right or wrong, believe him or not, having listened to this self described “DC reporter’s “stream of consciousness” silly soliloquy sorta shtick, he succinctly described some serious stuff, off the cuff, pulling together some disparate pieces and possibly explaining a plausible paradigm for the Jeffrey Epstein situation.



[…]

A lot of this Turkish lobby, a very powerful Turkish lobby they’ve kind of had… I wouldn’t say death grip, but they’ve had a very important grip on members of both sides of the aisle in Congress, especially in terms of seeming diverting - the diverting of NATO weapons through to Iran, through Hezbollah connections, for then later diversions to conflict states all over the world. And this does tie into Jeffrey Epstein because the diversion of these weapons to Al Qaeda… and supposedly moderate rebel groups, end up creating conflict areas? That leads to conflict trafficking, conflict trafficking in metal and mining, oil - conflict energy, I call it. Obviously, you have Jeffrey Epstein with conflict survivors, The pretty ones, anyway, get to go to Paris and Milan and New York for fashion week, and get to be developed into models. The ones who aren’t so pretty end up doing some kind of forced labor.

[…]

So, these conflict areas, these green zones, tend to create all these kinds of deep state opportunities for trafficking in children, unfortunately even trafficking in organ recovery, let’s call it. If you want to take Kosovo and Bosnia as examples, these are areas where Jeff Epstein was. This isn’t speculation. He was in Kosovo. He was in Bosnia. He was flying these flights - and a lot of them go to Dayton, Ohio. And we’ll be making connections to Dayton, Ohio here in a little bit. We’ve got several people from Ohio. I’m obviously from Cleveland, Euclid specifically, but born in Cleveland… So, we’ll make those connections about how the war chattel, if you will, or the trafficking occurred from Bosnia, specifically Kosovo, back to Ohio…

[…]

A lot of things are coming out about Jeffrey Epstein that-that-that we knew, but again, you have to wait for mainstream verification.

One of them is that Bill Barr’s father… Donald Barr… was the headmaster of an exclusive school on the east side of New York called Dalton. I think it was around 103rd or 104th, somewhere in there. I lived on 80th in Columbus up there, a little north of there, I believe, Dalton; a very exclusive school: $50,000 a year, very heavy STEM focus - math, science, physics, calculus - that type of AT type focus. Well, who other than William Barr’s father (is the) headmaster? These kids are all going to Columbia and Harvard and Yale… they even call it Children’s University, I believe. This person who is to shepherd the the future mathematicians and scientists, who does he hire to teach, not English, not Flight Training… maybe it was flight training, who does he hire to teach Calculus and Math at this exclusive $50,000 a year high school?

Well, you would certainly hire a college graduate. Normally, you would have to have a master’s to teach at that level, at that exclusive level. But no. He hires none other than Jeffrey Epstein, a two time college dropout. (Hahaha) You can’t make it up!

Geewhizz… I somehow keep seeing these seemingly endless mainstream editions of social medias’ popular experiment - the Epstein story, with mazes embedded to daze and confuse; and like a idiot addiction on psychedelics, making me sick to my dissonant psyche, wrapping my heads around revelations, I’m trying to unravel the general agenda to get an idea of the modus operandi recklessly driving the mockingbird media!


Jeffrey Epstein and the spectacle of secrecy
by Edward Curtin, August 21, 2019

[…]

When phrases such as “the deep state” and “conspiracy theory” become staples of both the corporate mainstream media and the alternative press, we know the realities behind these phrases have outlasted their usefulness for the ruling elites that control the United States and for their critics, each of whom uses them refutably or corroboratively. These phrases are bandied about so often that they have become hackneyed and inane.

[…]

Only by stepping outside this narrative frame with its vocabulary can we begin to grasp the truth here in our Wonderland of endless illusions.

Death, sex, power, intrigue, murder, suicide—these are the staples of the penny press of the 19th century, Joseph Pulitzer’s New York World, Hearst’s New York Journal, the tabloids, today’s mass media, and the CIA. People hunger for these stories, not for the real truth that impacts their lives, but for the titillation that gives a frisson to their humdrum lives. It is why post-modern detective stories are so popular, as if never solving the crime is the point.

[…]

The debate over whether Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide or not is a pseudo-debate meant to keep people spinning their wheels over nothing. It attracts attention and will do so for many days to come. There are even some usually astute people suggesting that he may not be dead but might have been secretly whisked off somewhere and replaced with a dead look-alike. Now who would profit from suggesting something as insane as this? The speculation runs rampant and feeds the spectacle. Whether he was allowed to kill himself or was killed makes little difference.

It’s akin to asking who pulled the trigger that killed President Kennedy. That’s a debate that was intended to go nowhere, as it has, after it became apparent that Lee Harvey Oswald surely did not kill JFK. John Kennedy’s murder in broad daylight in public view is the paradigmatic event of modern times. It is obvious to anyone that gives minimal study to the issue that it was organized and carried out by elements within the national security state, notably the CIA. Their message was meant to be unequivocal and clear: We can kill him and we can kill you; we are in full control; beware. Then they went on to kill others, including RFK and MLK. It takes little intelligence to see this obvious fact, unless you wish not to or are totally lost in the neighborhood of make-believe.

As it was with Jack Ruby killing Lee Harvey Oswald, so it is with Epstein. There will be no trial. Nothing is really hidden except the essential truth. Guess, debate, wonder, watch, read to your sad heart’s content. You will have gotten nowhere unless you step outside the frame of the reigning narrative.

Epstein: The Maxwell Connection (by George Galloway)

Jeffrey Epstein ‘Friend’ Ghislaine Maxwell Has More Skeletons in Her Family Closet Than a House of Horrors

The late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime companion and alleged procurer comes from a clan with a penchant for sex, intrigue, science, and illusions.

Dana Kennedy 8-18-19

[…]

In 2010, Seckel hosted a scientific conference on Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous private island with Gell-Mann, Leonard Mlodinow, who was Stephen Hawking’s co-author, and MIT’s Gerald Sussman. 

Oppenheimer told The Daily Beast this week that there was “no evidence” that Seckel or any of the scientists at the island party were involved in any sexual activity with young girls.

In 2004 Seckel gave a TED talk that’s been viewed almost 2.5 million times about “perceptual illusions that fool our brains.” 

Because of Seckel’s shady past, it was not surprising that vague reports of his death—a perceptual illusion perhaps?—began popping up just weeks after Oppenheimer’s July 2015 story exposed him to hordes of creditors. 

A paid obituary was published on Legacy.com, supposedly after appearing in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune, but it does not appear on the paper's website. One report has circulated around various Seckel-obsessed corners of the internet that his body was found at the bottom of a cliff near the home in France where he had moved with Isabel.

But The Daily Beast could not locate any officials in the town where Seckel was last known to live who had any report of his death. Oppenheimer and others said they have not yet found proof, either. The Daily Beast was unable to reach Isabel Maxwell or Elizabeth Secker for comment.

Rocket Men

Christine Maxwell and her astrophysicist husband Roger Malina have, until recently at least, divided their time between their home here in Meyreuil and Dallas, Texas. Malina teaches at the University of Texas there and Christine is a doctoral candidate in the humanities department, a UT spokeswoman told The Daily Beast. Malina was also a director at an astrophysics center in Marseille until last year.

Roger Malina is the son of Czechoslovak-born Frank Malina, an early Elon Musk type who was part of the ragtag group whose daring rocket experiments in 1930s Pasadena led to the formation of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in L.A., the precursor to NASA.

Frank Malina’s best friend, Jack Parsons, was the most charismatic of the group. He led a double life with non-scientist friends like L. Ron Hubbard and Robert Heinlein, author of Stranger in a Strange Land, Starship Troopers, and other sci-fi classics. Parsons also joined an occult group involving the dark arts and sex fetishes founded by Aleister Crowley, an English occultist and magician. The book and CBS TV series Strange Angel are based on Parsons’ life.

In an odd echo of Jeffrey Epstein’s reported desire to seed the human race with his own DNA, Parsons and Hubbard tried for a time to impregnate women to bring forth Babalon, a goddess described as the “Scarlet Woman” in the Themelic belief system to which Crowley subscribed. 

When Parsons died in a mysterious explosion at his home at age 37, he had stopped working for JPL and was for a time a consultant to Israel’s nascent rocket system. Media accounts at the time hinted at “sexual perversion,” “black robes,” “sacred fire” and “intellectual necromancy,” according to Vice—and there were also whispers that he might have been murdered.

Frank Malina, Christine Maxwell Malina’s father-in-law, was more of a straight arrow than Parsons and fared better, at first. But some historians say he was cheated of his rightful place as a true hero of the early space race because of years of harassment by the FBI who labeled him a socialist during the McCarthy years because he had campaigned against racial segregation, and raised money for republicans in the Spanish Civil War. After World War II he fled to Paris, where he became a painter and watched the space program soar from afar.

Is the mainstream media is throwing in thousands of these thesis vs anti-thesis stories to thrust upon us the synthesis precipitated by the seemingly prescient .1%?



Mark Passio on the Chaos Sorcery of 9/11 - Kabbalah, Tarot & Freemasonry - Symbolism and Numerology


[… 2:20]: “The synthetic solution to these conflicts can’t be introduced unless those being manipulated take a side that will advance a pre-determined agenda.”

This is another perversion of how Chaos Theory is used as an example of the Hegelian Dialectic. It’s a modified version of this dialectic for a dark purpose, for manipulation.

The researcher David Icke has called this Problem, Reaction Solution… You create the problem to get a reaction, then you offer a solution. The solution was already pre-determined.

But, I like to call it Chaos - Confusion - Opportunity because I think it more accurately describes the process that’s taking really place. You want to create Chaos. You need a chaotic situation created because the reaction that you’re looking for is confusion; not knowing what to do or how to react appropriately to the situation.

Once confusion enters the mix, you have fear based consciousness.

So, the person is willing to accept all kinds of limitations and control to go back to order; and therefore that’s your opportunity to bring in your pre-determined solution and get them to go along with what you originally wanted.

David Rockefeller described the Hegelian Dialectic perfectly when he said:

“We are on the verge of global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order.”


It’s not the light one that he’s talking about. This was the major crisis that they introduced, The events of 9-11-2001 was an example of the modified Hegelian Dialectic.

It was an example of Chaos Sorcery.

It was an occulted ritual of human sacrifice that involved 3 major examples of occulted symbology and ideology - in the work, to create the synthesis that they were looking for; and those 3 occult schools, or occult ideologies, that were employed on that day, the symbolism of which was employed on that day. were Kabbalah, Tarot, and Freemasonry.

Now, before we get into any confusion at all, I want to state emphatically that I do not believe that any of these systems are evil in and of themselves. It is how occult sciences are used. The occult knowledge is used by the practitioner to what end that determines whether they’re yielded for good or evil. So, it’s not these practices or these systems of knowledge that are evil in any way. They are simply knowledge and it is how they are used. Let’s get that straight right off the bat.


[…53:18]

That’s what 9/11/2001 was all about: An occult ritual to bring about the dark modified version of the Hegelian Dialectic - Chaos, Confusion, Opportunity.

General McArthur talked about the Hegelian Dialectic. He said:

”Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear - kept us in a continuos stampede of patriotic fervour with the cry of grave national emergency. Always, there has been some terrible evil at home, or some monstrous foreign power was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it.”


Create the chaos. Get the confused fearful reaction, and then that’s your opportunity to offer the solution that you had in waiting.

[… con’d]


Which came first, the universe or numbers?


My opinion is worth every penny you paid, and I personally opine the penis was hyperbolized and the phallic reference overstated (by Mr. Passio) - though sexual tension is a universal experience generally resonating in every being since living began, and age-old signs, such as ancient Egyptian and Sumerian symbols (not to mention alchemical formulae), obviously continue to tease western culture - playing populations’ previous practices, religions, routines - genetically programmed in people (probably), from one generation to another, millennia of lessons of social control are - exponentially - evolving to explicitly structure a super suggestible civilization - supposedly superior to the rest of existence.

The mainstream media gematria aspects of 9112001 are not necessarily coincidental, and (imo) the poignant numbers are more probably rooted in some sort of ritual from historical mythology shared by minions for many millennia, and are purposely pointing to a protected playpen of pretentious plutocrats plotting, planning and implementing a program to plunder (unpopular) populations - at peoples’ expense - for the fun and profit of the few influential financiers who could afford to affect such a far flung fiasco.

Look man! I’m mostly unread in classic studies - since the 70’s and 80’s, and kinda depressed at the depth of discussion rigorously referencing historical religious, psychological and philosophy classics with which I will always be unfamiliar… and though I’m still listening to mysterious messages from guardian angels, I mostly rely on my past and present personal knowledge, trusted teachers - and intuition - for most situations I find myself facing.

Facing the facts, I strive to resolve the cognitive dissonance between myself and society’s seemingly universally accepted (but plainly impossible) mainstream notion that some guy named been Ladin and 19 associates were supposedly responsible for the most expansive military spending spree in planet Earth’s history. I remember watching on 9112001 - the tall Twin Towers’ total obliteration - at free fall speed - with no resistance - thousands of times - on every channel. I didn’t wanna listen, but intuition told me, then and now - that that demolition was an inside job - intentionally initiated by establishment types… and it was only after years of reflection that I later learned of the ritual aspects that were also included in our common experience of mainstream medias’ stellar presentation of those prescient seconds we all remember.

I’ve seen enough sh!t on the mainstream TV to instantly recognize a presentation; though often enough I’ll research the story to try to figure to my satisfaction - for myself - how and why the news is repeating a particular piece of propaganda.

Heinz von Foerster | Where Is Reality? Can You Show It To Me?

[…]

Dammbeck: "But that's terrible! How can we let a worldwide networked system of machines grow more or less into infinity if it is based on theories that apparently have holes or are only good stories, I mean on such shaky foundations? Isn't that dangerous?"

Foerster: "Well, in this worldwide functioning system of machines, all theories are correct. And of course that's what people want. And why are they correct? Because they can all be deduced from other theories and stories. ... It goes on deducing indefinitely. ... That's the good thing about it. You can go on forever."

Dammbeck asks: "In logic?"

Foerster answers: "Yes, precisely."

Dammbeck probes further: "But in reality?"

Foerster replies: "Where is reality? Can you show it to me?”

Quickly contemplating the concept of present day, particularly considering the tick tock Time of a mechanical clock and the chronological order of a calendar kept on a cluttered wall - set by the sun and stars in the sky, radioactive carbon dating, or counting tree rings, sedimentary strata, isotopes, et cetera… , Time, Distance, historical dates and time stamp data are very much also meticulously mapped by many dimensional dots and dashes - entirely contrived by humankind’s… cybernetic kind of construction - that are an intimate element of our personal reality we can all relate to… most of the Time… around the city; fixing our existence at a physical position at a specific instant on our self described, prospective planet, as our inconsistent, but publicly recognized current affairs of the present day process sweep us into a common cognition of a constantly catalogued with continual certitude sort of experience - cunningly archived at your local paper, public library, or maybe a museum; and reinforced with propaganda, so people can properly appreciate and then appropriately point to a particular place in Time and Space - set in a certain sorted perspective of universal Presence and Distance type of scales… until the Time comes when we will willingly watch what will predictably happen in such a place?

Why?

Often enough, I’ll wander on a window where I’m wont to wonder, ’Why would I wanna to wonder about this?’

Maybe (I guess), because bitter is better than a blind abyss…
