  1. "Wheat Belly"

    It's a fantastic book, I agree. I believe that glyphosate plays a huge role in illness associated with wheat consumption as well.
  2. I have reason to believe that

    I would recommend reading Stalking the Wild Pendulum, Itzach Bentov, The Holographic Universe, Michael Talbot and reviewing Jacobo Grinsberg's work. For less mystical and more theoretical ideas Leonard Susskind, Gerard t Hooft, etc. Our we in your holographic projection? Or are you in mine? ....Or are we all projections of Lord Åšiva?
  3. Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn... Lovecraft in a way mimicked, or even mocks the hierarchy of entities and concepts written in the Bible or Greek pantheons. So, yes I think that your intuition is correct in a sense. Cthulhu could be equated with angelic forms-or more likely fallen angels. Cthulhu is immensely powerful and very ancient, but is still a created being and not the source of reality. The Old Ones (Cthulhu and his kin) can be seen as messengers in the same sense that biblical angels are messengers. Cthulhu communicates with humans through dreams and visions, but with a dark and ominous overtones. Cthulhu is more like an inter-dimensional alien though. Cthulhu is chained and imprisoned beneath the deep sea at R'lyeh, lying not dead, but dreaming, waiting for "when the stars are right" to return. This also mimics the idea of fallen angels Lucifer/satan, who are imprisoned in hell waiting for The Day of Judgement. In the book of Each and else where fallen angels often have their own cults of worship created around them and are viewed as gods. It's similar with Cthulhu mythos, where humans create cults to worship and venerate this entity, this is evident in the story The Horror of Red Hook, where Cthulhu is worshiped and invoked along side other entities such as Nyarlatholep, Beelzebub, Astarte, etc. In terms of his physical appearance I don't think there are any biblical references similar to how Cthulhu is depicted: "Above these apparent hieroglyphics was a figure of evidently pictorial intent, though its impressionistic execution forbade a very clear idea of its nature. It seemed to be a sort of monster, or symbol representing a monster, of a form which only a diseased fancy could conceive. If I say that my somewhat extravagant imagination yielded simultaneous pictures of an octopus, a dragon, and a human caricature, I shall not be unfaithful to the spirit of the thing. A pulpy, tentacled head surmounted a grotesque and scaly body with rudimentary wings; but it was the general outline of the whole which made it most shockingly frightful. Behind the figure was a vague suggestion of a Cyclopean architectural background." https://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/cc.aspx However, in my own experiences/practices I have seen entities that look very similar to cephalopods. Even in dreamscape I was hounded by what I think was likely Cthulhu. There is another entity that has the appearance of a mass of oil slick type tentacles that was revealed to me some during occult work, but I doubt you'd like the answer on who or what that was. Wayne June is a formidable narrator, I suggest this recording to set the tone of your inquiry. Have fun and keep your wits about you! I find that Cthulhu, though a work of fiction has quite the egregore now.
  4. Kundalini podcast - asking for input

    I think both forestofclarity's and forestgreen's questions are great, I would definitely add any foundational work recommendations. I look forward to watching the podcast!
  5. Buddhist/Bon Dream Yoga Resources

    yes, I keep a dream journal. Immediately after waking up I record any dreams I had, the associated emotions, anything that sticks out. I try to recall as much details as possible- everything I can recall, even silly details. I write them down and then later at night I type everything in my daily practice journal. Hmmm, as in the Eye of Horus and the Eye of Ra? It's interesting to me that was immediately invoked within you, did you see those symbols in the minds eye? As in the womb shedding phase representing the red eye (Solar) and the luteal phase representing the white eye (lunar)- a microcosmic representation of shedding/oscillation from red to white, creating cosmic balance? Solar/lunar balance. Lunar having more connection to dreamscape and the unconscious. I'm not well versed in Egyptian lore, I should get on that. You might be on to something the more I think about it, especially the finer details about synching with the lunar phases (new moon, full moon, etc). Thanks
  6. Buddhist/Bon Dream Yoga Resources

    Yes! I do the looking at the hands-making sure I have 5 fingers, looking in mirrors to see my reflection. the light switches are a good idea, I haven't tried that one. Random reality checks throughout the day and in dreamscape are good as well. I'm not at the point of reading long texts in my dreams, but I can make out stop signs and random words. I've also noticed that depending on where I am in my cycle has an effect of how successful I am, as well as celibacy. I'm highly successful during ovulation and it's nearly impossible when I'm on my period. Which is very interesting (in my opinion anyway). I've also recorded instances where there is a strong geomagnetic storm happening it just won't happen for me at all either. When I first started out I had almost like a filter on and my sight was a little burry at times, that was until I began to commanded myself "Clear sight" or "stabilize sight" and the filter disappears, I don't have that issue anymore.
  7. Buddhist/Bon Dream Yoga Resources

    Jeepers creepers! Ok...thanks for that. I will not recommend his work further. This is insanity, people can be so desperate for results but never want to put the real work in.
  8. Buddhist/Bon Dream Yoga Resources

    Great list, thanks for posting these. Often times during a lucid dream I don't quite know what I should be doing and I end up just travelling around, usually in my own neighbourhood. I'd like to actually accomplish something worth while (spiritually beneficial, problem solve, etc). What is your opinion on the people that you meet during lucid dreaming? Some of them appear to be lucid dreaming as well, others sort of NPC type characters. I had one lucid dream in where I was being interrogated by someone. They knew I was lucid in the dream and began asking me who I was, why I was there, where I learned to lucid dream, etc. It was really weird and aggressive. My first foray into getting a taste for lucid dreaming was via the gateway tapes, but over time the recordings made me feel uneasy resulting in nightmare-ish type dreamscapes. I became extremely distrustful of the material after that and dropped it. I have the Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep somewhere. I'm going to start reading it. Thanks again for this list! Though neither of the links below pertain to Buddhist dream yogas I've had pretty good success with this: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/316781.Exploring_the_World_of_Lucid_Dreaming
  9. I think there are a few variations of willow waist and swimming dragon based on lineage/school. I've also heard swimming dragon being referred to as "circling the three moons."
  10. AI is now a government minister

    I like this, going to start using that hahaha. Though I haven't heard of this book, it's right up my alley- love me some dystopian sci-fi to really get my adrenaline and dopamine pumping
  11. AI is now a government minister

    This is a very real and pertinent topic that everyone should be discussing. We all have reason to be highly suspicious and outraged at this new technology and how it's implemented-considering the vast majority of us have already been classified as "useless eaters." I see the elites salivating at the broader implementation spanning all facets of our existence-to keep us inline, ensuring that we remain docile little consumers who won't even have a chance to speak out against tyranny as our "micro aggressions" and pre-crime thought give us away. Humanity is on the cusp of entering Neo-feudalism fuelled, funded and promoted by technocratic maniacs. I'm looking at you Fink, Thiel, and a bunch of other people behind the scenes that remain ever nameless. Good post Cobie.
  12. My experience against a demonic cultivator

    Hi Bassrock, I do not want to down play any of the events that are happening to you or that have happened in the past, but have you gone for a psych evaluation? You are expressing some attributes of paranoid delusion and I think it would be prudent of you to rule that out. >> I'm not discrediting your story or that powerful cultivators cannot do the things you claim, I'm not downplaying or ignoring what you're going through, these are real people, you have real fear, and obviously something is going on. It sounds like you got yourself into a cult-type situation and there is no-doubt in my mind that some corruption has happened. Often times groups like these use fear based tactics. I urge you to seek counselling for that and 100% get a psych evaluation.
  13. Scrubbed Mural

    The residual image left by the attempted erasure is even more powerful in its meaning. it's the shadow, the residue of a concept. Were we ever all equal under the eyes of the law? justice seems to always bend for those in power, yet break for everyone else. Bansky is a man, but it doesn't matter anyway. What matters is the social commentary and the message.
  14. The Serpent Which Came Forth

    To further the discussion of the serpent/snake and its relation to esoteric practices and traditions, I find the gnostics have a very intriguing interpretation. In several gnostic traditions the serpent in Eden is linked to Sofia's salvific impulse, serving as her emissary. Then the female spiritual principle came in the snake, the instructor; and it taught them, saying, "What did he say to you? Was it, 'From every tree in the garden shall you eat; yet – from the tree of recognizing good and evil do not eat'?" The carnal woman said, "Not only did he say 'Do not eat', but even 'Do not touch it; for the day you eat from it, with death you are going to die.'" And the snake, the instructor, said, "With death you shall not die; for it was out of jealousy that he said this to you. Rather your eyes shall open and you shall come to be like gods, recognizing evil and good." And the female instructing principle was taken away from the snake, and she left it behind, merely a thing of the earth. The Hypostasis of the Archons (The Reality of the Rulers), translated by Bentley Layton. http://www.gnosis.org/naghamm/hypostas.html In the above quote the female principle enters the snake, using it as a vessel. Through this she teaches Eve that the Demiurge lied; knowledge is not death, but divinity. In the gnostic interpretation the serpent is not the deceiver, but the liberator and a messenger of Sofia that urges Eve to seek knowledge via the fruit so that humanity can escape ignorance and the slavery of the Archons. This obviously contradicts the classical interpretation of Genesis which teaches that eating from the tree of knowledge is the fall/descent of humanity. The gnostic interpretation is reversed and viewed it as the beginning of the ascent into knowledge (gnosis). Other texts go a little further linking and interpreting Eve as the manifestation of Sofia/Zoe herself, making her temptation a source of self-realization or awakening. Furthermore, with Eve being the manifestation of Sofia, serves as The First Redeemer, the Mother of the Living, a source of Spiritual Light (Zoe) and the spiritual awakener of Adam. https://www.gnosis.org/ecclesia/dsophhom.htm?utm_source=chatgpt.com The serpent has obviously woven its way into many esoteric systems, many of which is connected to the Divine Feminine is some way or another as mentioned above by many of the participants. But one that was missed entirely was that of Kundalini, who is a Goddess in her own right and the form(less) energy (Adi-Parasakti) of the divine Shakti that resides coiled like a serpent as the base of our spines, representing latent energetic potential. She is Shakti and upon awakening uncoils herself-hissing like a snake, travelling up the sushumna, piercing the chakras, seeking union Shiva, finally fulfilling the microcosmic reproduction of cosmic creation and transforming consciousness. Kundalini is not merely a force to awaken, she is a goddess to honour, a living intelligence inside of you, a teacher to follow. Kundalini promotes rebirth, renewal, and spiritual evolution. She is the awakener of gnosis- the awakener of the Supreme Mother Goddess within you. Jai Maa! Namah Shivaya!
  15. The end of the world

    I think that humans have experienced wide spread natural calamities for 100,000 years and that various stories/mythologies serve as both reminders and warnings of the fragility of our lives here on Earth. If we can prepare or avoid them great, but there are somethings we just cannot prepare enough for or avoid altogether especially in terms of natural disasters. The earth and the cosmos are just going to do their thing and we have to roll with it as a species. I also believe that more esoteric transitions exist behind the scenes and that we must also endure or uncover those order to "break free" and Become. "something is in the air" many people- certain aspects of the collective consciousness, various groups or individuals sense this as well and are either trying to retard the process or assist in it's development/unfolding. I agree that the dawning of a new era is upon us, how do we actively shape this new world/era that is unfolding? How do we as a species and individuals emerge from the flames reborn as the phoenix?

    amateurs.
  17. Should I read more

    Most certainly not. Both generations are vulnerable for different reasons. Haven't you noticed everyone constantly looking at screen consuming mindless and useless media? The tiktoc reels, YouTube shorts, Instagram models, INFLUENCERS, lol. Give me a break if you think the younger generation is shielded! The attention span of most individuals has been severely reduced when compared to in times past. What type of content are they consuming? How do algorithms work? Please.. False. The Machine is far more sophisticated than it once was....kindly watch the Century of Self...Or read Propaganda, by Edward Bernays, Manufactured Consent, By Noam Chomsky is also a good one. If you can't do that perhaps watch a few Chris Hughes vids on YouTube. (the irony) Yes, the world is changing, people are changing. Yep, no doubt about it. But, you know what remains the same? People want freedom, safety, stability, and fairness. Most people abhor corruption, endless wars, corporate power, surveillance states, and a justice system that bends for the elites, but breaks for everyone else. Older generations might be more easily swayed by tv preachers and talk radio rhetoric, but the younger generation is more susceptible because they live 24/7 influence machine. Propaganda can now flow directly into the household cloaked as entertainment, lifestyle advice, Life coaches or even spirituality. The vast majority of it is based around consumer culture- Buy crap you don't need, with money you don't have to impress people you don't know or even like. It's ridiculous. I'm not even going to bother touching the political spectrum of the matter..it should be obvious by now...in case it's not.. "The mind"-your opinion, what you consume has be weaponized and it is also a commodity. Yes, you can use your mind as a weapon or a tool...you're fighting against people who want to mold you and make you a good little complacent consumer, to follow this fad or that fad, buy this, believe this! yes, I hate to quote fricking Alex Jones, but here I go "There is a war on for for mind." I do and one that's based on Christian Nationalism is not it. Nor any other kind or flavour or religious fanaticism for that matter. While I agree that Christianity has heavily influenced Western Culture, but by no means do I believe that cultural dominance is equal to universality or truth. The concept that "all roads lead to Christianity" is all also not quite true. our modern society has been influenced by many factors , Remember the saying "All roads lead to Rome" yeah...it started there (actually before that In Ancient Greece). lol. While Ancient Rome absorbed and rebranded Christianity, the legacy of Ancient Roman law, public works, architecture, military strategy still live on through that absorption. Yes, I fully recommend you start reading a few books. Just a simple Western Civilization text book would be advisable. nungali also had a few great points worth considering. my quotes are all messed up, sorry, fixed it.

    Stop playing video games, guns are not the most valuable item in the game. Reason, discernment, and rationality are the most important "weapons" one can procure and hone. Public Opinion has also become weaponized, the minds of the masses are easily led and managed. A few minutes watching t.v can easily prove this point. Algorithms, echo-chambers, social media all serve to constrict you-shaping your opinion and perspective-keeping it in check and keeping it from discovering the "man behind the curtain." I would recommend watching this documentary, gives a good overview on how the minds of men/woman are shaped by those in power. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJ3RzGoQC4s&t=133s **** If you're interested in Christianity read the bible, fully digest it. Then read the Old Testament, move on the writings contained in the Nag Hammadi library, gospel of Thomas and Mary Magdalene, finally the writings by Christian mystics. Read about the history of Christendom. How it came to be. Study all of it. Yeah- you are gonna have to read. Don't "study" through the lens of someone else's perspective. Pick up a book and by using discernment, reason and rationality see how various ideas move within you. Finally I would examine why you believe you are bing called to this. Is it about faith, politics, identity, belonging? Who or what is influencing your perspective (family, media, leaders, social circles). Are you adopting it because you feel called by the Holy Spirit, or because it makes you feel safe, powerful, or accepted in a group?
  20. Do colors matter?

    ahhh, no. I'm afraid I missed that cinematic masterpiece lol.
  21. Do colors matter?

    oh man, those wild hogs look crazy! the babes are pretty sizzling too! lol I had a pack (whatever you call them ?) of feral pigs run through my camp a few years ago, they absolutely tore the sh*t out of my property. My neighbour left this note on torn off birch bark explaining what had happened lolol. It was surreal. "Bacon Busters" somehow, I get this vibe: chicks in bikinis, riding 4 wheelers, beer in hand, .308 strapped n ready... It's a vibe, I get it.
  22. Do colors matter?

    ...found that farm wife to help you with tree felling...
  23. Do colors matter?

    Yea, red is definitely showy.
  24. Do colors matter?

    yes, I reference 777 quite a lot actually. Pretty helpful book imo.
