Intelligence + Critical Thought + Intellect. Words by Tariq Ali

.....A world that is treated virtually as a forbidden subject in an increasingly parochial culture that celebrates the virtues of ignorance, promotes a cult of stupidity and extols the present as a process without an alternative, implying that we all live in a consumerist paradise.

A world in which disappointment breeds apathy and, for that reason, escapist fantasies of every sort are encouraged from above.

Tariq Ali. The Clash of Fundamentalisms

.....This is not to suggest that the House of Islam lacks its secular intellectuals and artists.

The last century alone produced Nazim Hikmet, Faiz Ahmed Faiz, Abdelrehman Munif, Mahmud Darwish, Fazil Iskander, Naguib Mahfouz, Nizar Qabbani, Pramoedya Ananta Toer, Djibril Diop Mambety amongst many others.

But these are poets, novelists, film-makers. They have no equivalents in the social sciences.

Critiques of religion are always implicit. Intellectual life has become stunted, making Islam itself a static and backward - looking religion.

Tariq Ali. The Clash of Fundamentalisms

SALMAN RUSHDIE. WRITER

Religion has moved out of the private space. In a private sphere it is nobody's business, it's between you and your god. The moment it moves into the public sphere it becomes everybody's business. I'm tired of religion demanding special privileges. I mean, you know get over it. There's no other idea in the world which demands protection. If ideas are strong they can stand criticism. And in any open society you have to be able to discuss things in whatever terms you choose. That's just the nature of openness; otherwise you're starting to create a semi-closed society. Salman Rushdie

'CHRISTIANITY': THE MALE HIJACKING

Yeshua (Jesus Christ) was not crucified, and ascended out with Guardian support. The group was partially successful in their mission, and many other Christos consciousness family have been on the earth since then to prepare for the return of the Krystal Star on the earth. The Krystal Star returned with a planetary hosting change in January 2013....The Satanic stronghold in the Vatican aggressively targeted and killed the original Christ Templars in an attempt to extinguish all records of the Essenes, Law of One, the Christos-Sophia, the Mother Arc as the Holy Spirit, and the female principle's equal role to access Christos consciousness, as the true wisdom and spiritual knowledge of our Universe. Also, this was intended to hide that Christ was actually both a male and female being, was embodied through a group consciousness, was married and had children, was not of immaculate conception, as well as hide the fact that the Christ was of extra-dimensional or "otherworldly' origins.

THE FEMALE ASCENSION OF THE PLANET. LISA RENEE

This incredible manifestation of the Cosmic Mother within her Pillars of Cosmic Grace has not been welcomed by the Black Dragon Avatar Collectives, which have hijacked many of her body parts and sophianic dragon principles to proliferate satanism on the planet. Cosmic Mother’s return presents a direct challenge to the power structures of the Black Sun’s Vatican stronghold, in which her presence returning into the 5D inner gate has demolished black dragon timekeeper architecture and evicted and dissolved hierarchies of satanic AI-Hybrid gatekeeper entities. As Cosmic Mother, as the Cosmic Dragon retrieves her body parts and reclaims her children, this has generated many smaller Megiddo battles with black magicians and black dragons sending satanic ritual abuse curses and hexes in every direction from their intense rage that she has returned. These are planetary events which project out into the collective consciousness as extreme misogynistic patterns targeting the organic and natural spiritual female principles. This sheer hatred of women and girls in order to suppress their rising spiritual power as Cosmic Mother returns, can be seen escalating in the mainstream media outlets. Humanity is being socially engineered to believe that the most beautiful and desirable women are actually men, transgender male to female, and this hidden and covert psyop of hiding the transgender agenda as it is being enforced on children, is the seed of the Negative Alien Agenda's (NAA) rage-filled hatred towards the rising solar feminine principle. Lisa Renee

THE HYPOCRISY OF MALE REVOLUTION

Mary Wollstonecraft was offended by the Jacobins' treatment of women. They refused to grant women equal rights, denounced 'Amazons', and made it clear that women were supposed to conform to Jean-Jacques Rousseau's ideal of helpers to men. On 16 October 1793, Marie Antoinette was guillotined; among her charges and convictions, she was found guilty of committing incest with her son. Though Wollstonecraft disliked the former queen, she was troubled that the Jacobins would make Marie Antoinette's alleged perverse sexual acts one of the central reasons for the French people to hate her. Wikipedia

LISA RENEE. ASCENSION GLOSSARY

The alignment is for Cosmic Mother to resurrect her Solar daughters, to protect the earth and natural kingdoms from the anti-female Satanic forces of control. The Krystallah Sophianic Sonic Pillars are related to the resurrection of the Triple Solar Goddess principle by the Cosmic Christos Solar Dragons, this specifically overrides the use of Sophianic parts from being utilized in satanic versions using Satanic Ritual Abuse with the Dark Queen Mother majic reversal female archetypal forces. The correction of sound bodies relates to overriding the female archetypal stages used in satanic rituals which hijack the Solar Feminine Christ consciousness and require the black Queen Mother to oversee blood sacrifices of children, and the ritualistic roles of virgin maiden to crone. Lisa Renee. Ascension Glossary

THE SECRET DOCTRINE :: HELENA P. BLAVATSKY

It is curious to see how prophetic in almost all things was the writer of Vishnu Purana when foretelling to Maitreya some of the dark infuences and sins of this Kali Yug. For after saying that the 'barbarians' will be masters of the banks....There will be contemporary monarchs, reigning over the earth - kings of churlish spirit, violent temper, and ever addicted to falsehood and wickedness...Wealth and piety will decrease until the world will be wholly depraved. Property alone will confer rank; wealth will be the only source of devotion; passion will be the sole bond of union between the sexes; falsehood will be the only means of success in litigation; and women will be objects merely of sensual gratification. The Secret Doctrine. Volume l p 377. Helena P. Blavatsky

HENRY MILLER

.....For a hundred years or more the world, our world, has been dying. And not one man (woman), in these last hundred years or so, has been crazy enough to put a bomb up the asshole of creation and set it off. The world is rotting away, dying piecemeal. But it needs the coup de grace, it needs to be blown to smithereens. Not one of us is intact, and yet we have in us all the continents and the seas between the continents and the birds of the air. We are going to put it down – the evolution of this world which has died but which has not been buried......Henry Miller. Tropic of Cancer

REPTILIANS

The Manifest Destiny of the United States was created to expand the territory of the Aryans at the expense of the native populations. As always, the Illuminati seek to destroy native peoples and their cultures. This is an attempt to destroy their knowledge of God-Mind, as well as the possibility that the natives will impart this information on to others. Especially important is their need to eliminate native cultures with ancient knowledge of Atlantis and Lyrae. The natives that gave them the most problem were the Cherokee Indians because this tribe retained most of their Atlantean knowledge, even accessing the Bear/Bigfoot frequency for information. For this reason, these people were uprooted from their homeland in the southern Appalachian Mountains, and forcibly marched to Oklahoma on what is now known as The Trail of Tears. Many died along the way. Only a remnant remained in North Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia. In the north, the vast Iroquois/Mohawk nation was disbanded. The Montauk, direct descendents of the Atlanteans who call their leader Pharaoh, were systematically eliminated. The Rothschilds were aggressively involved with the slave trade from Africa, importing slaves to North and South America as well as the Caribbean. They were very careful not to import Blacks from the eastern areas of Ethiopia or Sudan where the descendents of Solomon were located, instead concentrating on western and central Africa for the slave populations. These areas had the pure mixture of Anunnaki and simian genetics, and the programming desirable for the Illuminati agenda. The Rothschilds decided that splitting the United States colonies would double their profits. So they politically created, and financially supported, the Civil War. The Civil War was actually a global ceremonial ritual to bring slavery to its next level. This war allowed the North to win, and publicly abolish slavery. The best slaves are the ones who do not realize that they are slaves. This alleviates rebellion and resistance. This was the status immediately following the Civil War. Blacks in the South are still slaves. There is still segregation, even in the North. The Illuminati still consider Blacks to be second or third class citizens. Only now the slavery is subtle and masked. In5D Note: Those in power consider us ALL useless eaters and have used divide and conquer techniques against us to keep us from uniting. What we “ALL” need to keep in mind is that once the bottom of the pyramid unites, the rest will collapse. Reptilians And The Council Of 13. Stewart Swerdlow

ILLUMINATI

An illusion it will be, so large, so vast it will escape their perception. Those who will see it will be thought of as insane. We will create separate fronts to prevent them from seeing the connection between us. We will behave as if we are not connected to keep the illusion alive. Our goal will be accomplished one drop at a time so as to never bring suspicion upon ourselves. This will also prevent them from seeing the changes as they occur. We will always stand above the relative field of their experience for we know the secrets of the absolute. We will work together always and will remain bound by blood and secrecy. Death will come to he who speaks. We will keep their lifespan short and their minds weak while pretending to do the opposite. We will use our knowledge of science and technology in subtle ways so they will never see what is happening. We will use soft metals, ageing accelerators and sedatives in food and water, also in the air they will be blanketed by poisons everywhere they turn. The soft metals will cause them to lose their minds. We will promise to find a cure from our many fronts, yet we will feed them more poison. The poisons will be absorbed through their skin and mouths, they will destroy their minds and reproductive systems. From all this, their children will be born dead, and we will conceal this information. The poisons will be hidden in everything that surrounds them, in what they drink, eat, breathe and wear. We must be ingenious in dispensing the poisons for they can see far. We will teach them that the poisons are good, with fun images and musical tones. Those they look up to will help. We will enlist them to push our poisons. They will see our products being used in film and will grow accustomed to them and will never know their true effect. When they give birth we will inject poisons into the blood of their children and convince them it's for their help. We will start early on, when their minds are young, we will target their children with what children love most, sweet things. Illuminati Secret Covenant

THE AWAKENED HUMAN

People are afraid, very much afraid of those who know themselves. They have a certain power, a certain aura and a certain magnetism, a charisma that can take out alive, young people from the traditional imprisonment. The awakened man (woman) cannot be enslaved - that is the difficulty - and he (she) cannot be imprisoned. Every genius who has known something of the inner is bound to be a little difficult to be absorbed; he (she) is going to be an upsetting force. The masses don't want to be disturbed, even though they may be in misery; they are in misery, but they are accustomed to the misery. And anybody who is not miserable looks like a stranger. The awakened man (woman) is the greatest stranger in the world; he (she) does not seem to belong to anybody. No organization confines him (her), no community, no society, no nation. Unknown

ANTONIO GRAMSCI

Gramsci is best known for his theory of cultural hegemony, which describes how the state and ruling capitalist class – the bourgeoisie – use cultural institutions to maintain power in capitalist societies. The bourgeoisie, in Gramsci's view, develops a hegemonic culture using ideology rather than violence, economic force, or coercion. Hegemonic culture propagates its own values and norms so that they become the "common sense" values of all and thus maintain the status quo. Hegemonic power is therefore used to maintain consent to the capitalist order, rather than coercive power using force to maintain order. This cultural hegemony is produced and reproduced by the dominant class through the institutions that form the superstructure. Wikipedia

BARUCH SPINOZA

...a western system of philosophy which occupies a foremost rank amongst the philosophies of all nations and ages, and which is so exact a representation of the ideas of the Vedanta, that we might have suspected its founder to have borrowed the fundamental principles of his system from the Hindus, did his biography not satisfy us that he was wholly unacquainted with their doctrines... We mean the philosophy of Spinoza, a man whose very life is a picture of that moral purity and intellectual indifference to the transitory charms of this world, which is the constant longing of the true Vedanta philosopher... comparing the fundamental ideas of both we should have no difficulty in proving that, had Spinoza been a Hindu, his system would in all probability mark a last phase of the Vedanta philosophy. The 19th-century German Sanskritist Theodor Goldstücker

HERMANN HESSE

Most intellectuals and most artists belong to the same type. Only the strongest of them force their way through the atmosphere of the bourgeois earth and attain to the cosmic. The others all resign themselves or make compromises. Despising the bourgeoisie, and yet belonging to it, they add to its strength and glory; for in the last resort they have to share their beliefs in order to live. The lives of these infinitely numerous persons make no claim to the tragic; but they live under an evil star in a quite considerable affliction; and in this hell their talents ripen and bear fruit. The few who break free seek their reward in the unconditioned and go down in splendor. They wear the thorn crown and their number is small. The others, however, who remain in the fold and from whose talents the bourgeoisie reaps much gain, have a third kingdom left open to them, an imaginary and yet a sovereign world, humor. The lone wolves who know no peace, these victims of unceasing pain to whom the urge for tragedy has been denied and who can never break through the starry space,who feel themselves summoned thither and yet cannot survive in its atmosphere—for them is reserved, provided suffering has made their spirits tough and elastic enough, a way of reconcilement and an escape into humor. Humor has always something bourgeois in it, although the true bourgeois is incapable of understanding it. In its imaginary realm the intricate and manyfaceted ideal of all Steppenwolves finds its realisation. Here it is possible not only to extol the saint and the profligate in one breath and to make the poles meet, but to include the bourgeois, too, in the same affirmation. Now it is possible to be possessed by God and to affirm the sinner, and vice versa, but it is not possible for either saint or sinner (or for any other of the unconditioned) to affirm as well that lukewarm mean, the bourgeois. Humor alone, that magnificent discovery of those who are cut short in their calling to highest endeavor, those who falling short of tragedy are yet as rich in gifts as in affliction, humor alone (perhaps the most inborn and brilliant achievement of the spirit) attains to the impossible and brings every aspect of human existence within the rays of its prism. To live in the world as though it were not the world, to respect the law and yet to stand above it, to have possessions as though "one possessed nothing," to renounce as though it were no renunciation, all these favorite and often formulated propositions of an exalted worldly wisdom, it is in the power of humor alone to make efficacious. Hermann Hesse

MYSTICS

Mystics are seekers of truth. They seek truth in the divine, in the sacred, in the world around them, in the unseen, in others and in themselves. They are seekers of answers beyond what has been discovered or described. They look past the known horizons for something that others are not able to see and they set out to understand it deeper and experience it fully. Many have their own definition of what a mystic to them is, and they should. Mystics seek to move past the words and paradigms that define and trap, so thinking outside the box on what a mystic is would be thinking like a mystic. Mystics are here to embody their authentic truth, their joy, their love. They wear it like a patchwork coat over their bones and open to the rawness of being in this experience. They are here to understand, to dive deeper and to digest all that they find in order to gain new insight, understanding and unraveling threads of magic and medicine. Ara

GAIA AND THE ARCHONIC FORCES

The archonic forces and their influence upon Gaia is ancient. It is a hierarchical artificial intelligence. The opposite of God.(GODDESS). The opposite of life/evil. It is trying to create its own artificial reality outside of creation. A 'cloud' if you will. It has many minions infected with this artificial intelligence. They have corrupted and genocided every race for at least the last 10,000 years (LET ALONE, GENDER). They divide and conquer any people living in harmony to feed on their energy. These beings are from off planet but use puppets here to do the work. These AI prophets however have lost control. All people are awakening now to their true potential. Every race will be set free....(LET ALONE, WOMEN)...this was foretold by many races for thousands of years. A new golden Eon is upon us. If you could see and know what I do, you would cry tears of joy. A new year begins. I love you all. In eternal gratitude @plasmaborn369

MANLY P. HALL

Beyond the recognition of the uninitiated world is an ever-increasing aggregation composed of the spiritual elect. Though they walk the earth as ordinary mortals, they are of a world apart and through their ceaseless efforts the kingdom of God (The Kingdom/Queendom of The Great Mother Universe God) is being slowly but surely established upon earth. These illumined souls are the builders of the New Jerusalem, and their bodies are the living stones in its walls. Lighted by the torch of truth they carry on their work, through their activities the golden age will return to the earth and the power of sin and death will be destroyed. For this reason they declare that virtuous and illumined men (WOMEN), instead of ascending to heaven, will bring heaven down and establish it in the midst of earth itself. Manly P Hall

DORIS LESSING

Ideally, what should be said to every child, repeatedly throughout his or her school life is something like this: You are in the process of being indoctrinated...What you are being taught here is an amalgam of current prejudice and the choices of this particular culture....You are being taught by people who have been able to accommodate themselves to a regime of thought laid down by their predecessors....Those of you who are more robust and individual.....will be encouraged to leave and find ways of educating yourself, educating your own judgements. Those that stay must remember, always....that they are being molded and patterned to fit into the narrow and particular needs of this particular society. Doris Lessing

MANLY P. HALL

Wise people, the ancients believed, were a separate race, and to be born into this race it was necessary to develop the mind to a state of enlightened intelligence. The old philosophers taught that physical birth is an accident, for we are born into various races and nationalities according to the laws of generation; but there is a second birth, which is not an accident; it is the consequence of a proper intent. By this second birth we are born by enlightened intelligence out of nation and out of race into an international nation and international race. It is this larger and coming race that will some day inherit the earth. But unless we are born again by enlightenment, we shall not be a part of that philosophic empire. Manly P Hall

THE VALKYRIES

The Changing Role of The Valkyries: Warriors to Shieldmaidens : Interestingly, later in the literary and historical record Valkyries decrease in status from Warriors of Odin to Shieldmaidens – mortal women given permission to fight in wars alongside their men. It is believed that Female Warriors truly existed in the world of the ancient, and mediaeval north, and were known to be vastly strong and terribly brave, fearless in their own right and respected by the men they fought with. It is highly believed that The Valkyries might have been based on stories of these women, orally passed down and transformed into legends until they were recorded in the sagas of the Icelanders and other mythological records. Ryan Stone on AncientOrigins

HELENA P. BLAVATSKY

The members of several esoteric schools – the seat of which is beyond the Himalayas, and whose ramifications may be found in China, Japan, India, Tibet and even in Syria, besides South America – claim to have in their possession the sum total of sacred and philosophical works in MSS, and type: all the works, in fact, that have ever been written, in whatever language or characters, since the art of writing began; from the ideographic hieroglyphs down to the alphabet of Cadmus and the Devanagari. It has been claimed in all ages that ever since the destruction of the Alexandrian Library (see Isis Unveiled, Volume ll, P 27) every work of a character that might have led the profane to the ultimate discovery and comprehension of some of the mysteries of the Secret Science, was, owing to the combined efforts of the members of the Brotherhoods, diligently searched for. It is added, moreover, by those who know, that once found, save three copies left and stored safely away, such works were all destroyed. In India, the last of the precious manuscripts were secured and hidden during the reign of the Emperor Akbar. It is maintained, furthermore, that every sacred book of that kind, whose text was not sufficiently veiled in symbolism, or which had any direct references to the ancient mysteries, after having been carefully copied in cryptographic characters, such as to defy the art of the best and cleverest palaeographer, was also destroyed to the last copy. During Akbar’s reign, some fanatical courtiers, displeased at the Emperor’s sinful prying into the religions of the infidels, themselves helped the Brahmans to conceal their MSS. Such was Badaoni, who had an undisguised horror for Akbar’s mania for idolatrous religions. Helena P Blavatsky. The Secret Doctrine Volume l

FYODOR DOSTOEVSKY

There are moments when all the intellectual and spiritual faculties, painfully overstrained, seem suddenly to blaze with the bright flame of consciousness. At these times the troubled soul, languishing with a presentiment, a foretaste of the future, has something akin to a prophetic vision. And the whole being longs to live, it cries out for life, and the heart, alight with blind, desperate hope, will invoke the future, with all its misery and incertitude, its storms and tempests, if only it will bring life. Fyodor Dostoevsky - Netochka Nezvanova.

ALBERT CAMUS

We lead a difficult life, not always managing to fit our actions to the vision we have of the world. (And when I think I have caught a glimpse of the color of my fate, it flees from my gaze.) We struggle and suffer to reconquer our solitude. But a day comes when the earth has its simple and primitive smile. Then, it is as if the struggles and life within us were rubbed out. Millions of eyes have looked at this landscape, and for me it is like the first smile of the world. It takes me out of myself, in the deepest meaning of the expression. It assures me that nothing matters except my love, and that even this love has no value for me unless it remains innocent and free. It denies me a personality, and deprives my suffering of its echo. The world is beautiful, and this is everything. The great truth which it patiently teaches me is that neither the mind nor even the heart has any importance. And that the stone warmed by the stone or the cypress tree swelling against the empty sky set a boundary to the only world in which "to be right" has any meaning: nature without men. This world reduces me to nothing. It carries me to the very end. Albert Camus

ERICA JONG

Patriarchal societies are founded upon a crime, the crime is not the murder of the father, as Freud would have us believe, it is the rape and scorn of the mother...that only the wombless members of the human race can embody an imperishable spirit. It therefore designates men alone as prophets, preachers and artists. Women are condemned to be vessels - vessels of birth and also vessels of death. We are so used to this worldview that we forget we could easily see the world otherwise, if we chose. Erica Jong

COMYNS BEAUMONT

In a series of books published between 1946 and 1949, British journalist William Comyns Beaumont astonished the world with the following extraordinary revelations: Jesus of Nazareth had been crucified just outside Edinburgh, Scotland — the site of the ancient city of Jerusalem. Satan was a comet that collided with the earth and caused Noah's Flood. The ancient Egyptians were in fact Irishmen. Hell is to be found in western Scotland. The Greek hero Achilles spent his childhood on the Isle of Skye. Galilee, birthplace of Jesus, was Wales. Ancient Athens was in reality Bath, England... Comyns Beaumont started his radical revision of history with the belief, innocuous enough, that the lost island of Atlantis might be Britain. (Facts and Fallacies. Readers' Digest 1988)

KAHLIL GIBRAN

Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain. And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy; And you would accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields. And you could watch with serenity through the winters of your grief. Kahlil Gibran

MANLY P. HALL

The ancients did not believe that spirituality made men (women) either righteous or rational, but rather that righteousness and rationality made men (women) spiritual. The Mysteries taught that spiritual illumination was attained only by bringing the lower nature up to a certain standard of efficiency and purity. The Mysteries were therefore established for the purpose of unfolding the nature of man (woman) according to certain fixed rules which, when faithfully followed, elevated the human consciousness to a point where it was capable of cognizing its own constitution and the true purpose of existence. Manly P. Hall

GNOSIS

Gnosis (“inner knowing”) was a path of experimental mysticism in which the initiates of the Mystery Schools explored the psyche and the cosmos at large. Using psychoactive plants, yoga, and sex magic, these ancient seers experienced altered states and developed siddhis, occult skills such as clairaudience and remote viewing. Gnosis was a kind of yogic noetic science melded with parapsychology. In heightened perception, Gnostics developed a vast cosmological vision centered in a female deity, the Divine Sophia. The Gnostic creation myth is unique in that it includes a full-blown explanation of how inorganic alien beings came to be present in our solar system. The Nag Hammadi material contains reports of visionary experiences of the initiates, including first-hand encounters with inorganic beings called Archons. Gnostic teaching explains that these entities arose in the early stage of formation of the solar system, before the Earth was formed. Archons inhabit the solar system, the extraterrestrial realm as such, but they can intrude on Earth. Interestingly, this Gnostic insight accords closely with the view of Jacques Vallee, who maintains that ET/cyborgs probably belong to the local planetary realm. Vallee also proposes that the ET/UFO enigma is a “spiritual control system,” a phenomenon that “behaves like a conditioning process.” (Messengers of Deception). This is exactly what Gnostics said about the Archons: they can affect our minds by subliminal conditioning techniques. Their main tactics are mental error (intellectual virus, or false ideology, especially religious doctrines) and simulation. Archons are predatory, unlike a wide range of non-human and other-dimensional beings also know to the Gnostics, beings who are benevolent or neutral toward humanity. Physical descriptions of Archons occur in several Gnostic codices. Two types are clearly identified: a neonate or embryonic type. a draconic or reptilian type. Obviously, these descriptions fit the Greys and Reptilians of contemporary reports to a T. Or I should say, to an ET. Delving into the Gnostic materials, it is quite a shock to discover that ancient seers detected and investigated the problem of alien intrusion during the first century CE, and certainly well before. (The Mysteries date from many centuries before the Christian Era.) What is amazing about the Gnostic theory of the Archons is not only the cosmological background (explaining the origin of these entities and the reason for their enmeshment with humanity), but the specificity of information on the alien m.o., describing how they operate and what they want from us. For one thing, Gnostics taught that these entities envy us and feed on our fear. Above all, they attempt to keep us from claiming and evolving our “inner light,” the gift of divine intelligence within. While I would not claim that Gnostic teachings on the Archons, or what remains of such teachings, have all the answers to the ET/UFO enigma, one thing is clear: they present a coherent and comprehensive analysis of alien intrusion, as well as specific practices for resisting it. They are far more complete and sophisticated than any theory in discussion today. In short, the ancient seers of the Mysteries in Europe and the Levant seem to have accomplished 2000 years ago what many of us have been attempting to do since 1947: figure out who the ETs are where they originate how they relate to us and most important of all, how we ought to relate to them. As far as I know, apart from myself only one writer on the ET/UFO issue has directly identified the Gnostic Archons with contemporary ETs. This is Nigel Kerner, whose book, The Song of the Greys, is a strange, singular and little-known contribution to the debate. Kerner cites the Nag Hammadi texts just in passing, and does not elaborate on Gnostic teachings about the Archons. He makes a strong case for alien interference with the human genome, but this claim does not stand up against Gnostic analysis. Gnostic texts use mythological language to describe actual events in prehistory as well as long-term developments in the human psyche. According to the ancient seers, Archons cannot access our genetic makeup but they can fake an intervention. Considering the confusion of humanity in modern times, a faked intervention would be as good as real. This typifies the Archon tactic of getting us to imagine and believe things that are not true, and to accept simulation for reality. In this way, Gnostics taught, these alien cousins can deviate the human species from its true and proper course of evolution. The unique emphasis on the Goddess Sophia is the high inspirational message of Gnosis. The ancient seers taught that, through a special link to the Goddess, our species can overcome the Archons and secure a human, and humane, future for the Earth. Humans Are Free

JOSEPH CAMPBELL

The Shamanic crisis, when properly fostered, yields an adult not only of superior intelligence and refinement, but also of greater physical stamina and vitality of spirit than is normal to members of the group. The crisis, consequently has the value of a superior threshold initiation: superior in the first place because spontaneous, not tribally enforced, and in the second place, because the shift of reference of the psychologically potent symbols has not been from the family to the tribe but from the family to the universe. Joseph Campbell. The Masks of God

FEMALE PRIESTHOOD

Priesthoods of Prominence. Joan Breton Connelly. Athena Polias at Athens, Demeter and Kore at Eleusis, Hera at Argos, and Apollo at Delphi. The record has left a concentration of evidence for a few mainland Greek priesthoods, in contrast to a paucity of information for the majority of religious offices across the Greek world. In-depth investigation of a few case studies illuminates the localized character of Greek cult service and the diversity of the source material. For the priesthood of Athena Polias at Athens we have a wealth of epigraphic evidence that allows for extensive prosopographical work in naming historical priestesses and reconstructing their family trees. Attic vase painting supplies a wealth of images showing women engaged in cult activity. The priesthood of Demeter and Kore at Eleusis, in contrast, has left few visual images but a considerable corpus of inscriptions concerning the financial and legal aspects of the office. The priesthood of Hera at Argos is notable for its rich repertory of stories from myth. The most famous of all Greek priesthoods, that of the Pythia at Delphi, has left hardly any names of women who held the post and few images to reflect what the prophetess might have looked like. Instead, we have the oracles themselves, the very words that the priestesses are said to have spoken. Three of the priesthoods examined in this chapter carried the extraordinary privilege of eponymy. The priesthoods of Athena Polias at Athens and of Demeter and Kore at Eleusis were invested with a cultic eponymy by which events were dated according to the personal names and tenures of the women who held the highest post. At Argos, the priestess of Hera enjoyed an even more broadly reaching civic eponymy. The tenure of her service was used to date not only matters of cult but also historical events of the day. In this, the priestess’s position was comparable to that of the male archons whose tenures provided dates for historical chronologies at Athens and other cities. Thucydides used the forty-eighth year of Chrysis’s service as priestess at Argos, along with the tenures of the ephorate at Sparta and the archonship at Athens, to date the beginning of the Peloponnesian war. The names of priestesses were thus among the most widely shared elements of common knowledge across the Greek world. This is striking, in view of the widely held belief that the names of well-born women could not even be spoken aloud in classical Athens. In this, we see a contradiction between what we are told in literature and what we learn from epigraphic sources. The names of priestesses were inscribed on their statue bases and dedications as well as on the statue bases and dedications of individuals who served their cults during their tenures. The practise of sacred and civic eponymy ensured that priestly women, and their contributions, would never be forgotten. As we shall see in chapter 8, the names of priestesses were also inscribed on their funerary memorials. In chapter 7, we shall see the names of late Hellenistic and Roman priestesses inscribed upon their reserved seats within the Theatre of Dionysos. In the face of this evidence it may be time to reconsider the consensus view that the names of respectable women were to be avoided. While this may have been true for certain orators and in some settings, such as the law courts, the case for muting the names of citien women has, perhaps, been overstated. A privileging of certain text fuels this view, such as the funeral speech attributed to Perikles by Thucydides in which the Athenian war widows are told that the less said about them, the better. As we shall see in what follows, names of respectable and influential women were, in fact, known throughout Athens and elsewhere. We shall return to this subject in chapter 10, but, for now, let us consider four priesthoods of prominence and some of the well-known women who held them. Portrait of a Priestess.

ASCENSION

After about 1,000 years or so, Souls from lower afterlife realms will be permitted, once again, to reincarnate back to Earth, but by that time the so-called “kingdom of heaven” will be established. As we all know, the physical world, at the present time, is mostly controlled by selfish intellectuals and greedy control entities (darkness). They are in control, simply by fooling and using the perhaps less aware, but good, kind, trusting and loving people. The reason why they want to be in control is another sad matter. However, the “Pearly Gates” to and from the spiritual world are totally controlled by the ‘Gate Keepers’, Archangels imbued with higher Consciousness and Love and by stopping the selfish and egotistical souls from returning or re-incarnating into the physical world, and only letting the Indigo with little Karma and the Third Wave of virgin Souls enter, they are saving the physical world as well as the spiritual world. The wheat and chaff are truly being separated as you read. The Gate Keepers are differentiating between Souls that have made the grade by being unselfish and kind and those who haven’t by being selfish and egotistical. The selfish ones will be forced to get rid of their selfishness and narcissism in rather unpleasant ways before they will be allowed to start from scratch again. You see, what they didn’t choose to learn through wisdom they will, sadly, now have to learn through pain and suffering. Before the year 1998 all souls allotted to the Earth had equal opportunities but diverse accountability (having different karma from previous lives), some gravitate toward more and more selfishness and less and less compassion which lowered their Conscious awareness and some gravitate toward higher conscious awareness, by being more kind, loving and compassionate, which is truly what raised their consciousness. The lower conscious forces are the Souls that are selfish, hateful, vengeful, narcissistic, greedy and jealous, that love power over others, who lack remorse and empathy, who like to be served and have very little conscious awareness and compassion and hence cannot incarnate for the next 1,000 years or so. And this is where we are now — the Earth is inhabited by several groups with different levels of consciousness, some with compassion and Love who want to serve others, who are selfless, harmless, humble, righteous and Loving, and those who want to control others, who are selfish, harmful, greedy and self-righteous. In other words, when all the selfish and egotistical Souls leave their physical bodies this time (and soon they all will for sure), their Souls will not have an opportunity to incarnate for the next 1,000 years or so. They will be in a state of ‘volcanic slosh’ in total frustration with plenty of time to reflect and remember all the things they have done, said and thought in this world. They will have to re-experience all the feelings they have induced in other people when they were incarnated and re-experience their self-made lower dark and selfish thoughts, their hateful spoken words and their evil actions but, worst of all, they will be together, on the same level, with likeminded selfish Souls, and that I can assure you is the real hell. In fact, that is all they can do for the next 1,000 years or so. Humans Are Free

HELENA BLAVATSKY

Ammonius Saccas, the great Alexandrian teacher, first taught that every religion is based on one and the same truth, which is the wisdom found in the books of Thoth (Hermes Trismegistus), from which books, Pythagoras and Plato, had learned all their philosophy. And the doctrines of the former, he affirmed to have been identical with the earliest teachings of the Brahmans—now embodied in the oldest Vedas. But one thing is certainly known and that is, that before the word philosopher was first pronounced by Pythagoras at the court of the king of the Phliasians, the secret doctrine or wisdom, was identical in every country. Therefore it is in the oldest texts that we have to look for the truth. Madame Blavatsky

THE WAY OF THE WARRIOR

The Way of the Warrior. Eric Montaigue :: A warrior is not just a person who has learned some moves, is able to kick at 90 miles per hour or who has won the world championships at kick-boxing. A warrior must earn his/her title. The martial artist is a person who knows things that go far deeper than just self defence, he/she is someone who walks into a room full of people and an immediate calm falls upon that room, he/she is a person who can touch a person's head or arm or hand and cause an inner stillness and peace to fall upon that person. You know a warrior not from the way he/she looks, his/her big biceps, or his/her rolled up sleeves revealing a row of tattoos, or his/her shaven head or the fact that he/she wears his/her full GI (karate uniform) to parties! We know the warrior by his/her presence and the healing he/she automatically gives to everyone he/she meets. His/her energy, his/her 'Qi' is touching you, you don't feel anything physical, but rather the internal effect of this touching, and peace is with you. The warrior looks upon the earth in a different way than those who are not warriors, everything, from the smallest insect to the largest mammal, and the most insignificant rock or tree is important and has life, the grass he/she walks upon, he/she thanks for softening the rough path he/she walks upon, the trees, he/she thanks for giving him/her shade and oxygen. Everything has importance because it was put there by mother earth for some reason. Sure, he/she has to live in modern times, he/she must drive a motor car and go to the supermarket and mow his/her lawns, but always, he/she never loses sight of what he/she is, and more importantly, where he/she is. He/she knows that what he is, is not only what he/she has made himself/herself to be, but also what is handed down to him/her and what is an accumulation right inside the very cells that he/she is made of, from his/her ancestors. Everything that they were, is now him/her, every bit of information that his/her fathers and mothers gathered, is now inside of him/her, this is how we live on in our children, we literally, and I mean literally, pass on our knowledge, along with eons of knowledge accumulated since the beginning of time, to our children. Everything that we at the conception of our children is passed onto them. We think that we have certain talents, but the warrior knows that all that he/she is, has come from the beginning of time, he/she knows that he/she is made up of the same stuff that a rock is made of, or a tree, or a blade of grass, the difference is only physical. He/she knows that that he/she owns nothing, and that all animals are free, his/her animals chose him/her to be with, he/she does not go the pet shop to choose a new dog, he/she knows that the dog has chosen him/her to come to that pet shop to choose it. The warrior communicates wtih the earth, he/she talks to the dogs, to the cats and owls, to the snakes, not so much verbally, but simply by being. This is the one thing that everything on earth has in common, being. He/she knows that there are forces at work on this earth, forces that he/she must learn to go with and to live with, otherwise he/she will surely perish. The energy within the warrior has the power to join with these forces, and then he/she has the power to change. But this comes not without payment, for he/she also knows that we cannot receive without first having paid for it. The whole of the universe is based upon this giving and taking, it is called yin and yang. For every up there must be a down, for every happiness, there must be a sadness, for every full tummy, there must be an empty one. The warrior knows that he/she must lose in order to gain, and so he/she sacrifices. He/she sacrifices his/her food, he sacrifices his/her sexual longings, his/her everyday comforts, in order that he/she has the power to change and to help others to change. Not in going out specifically to help others, but to have the internal power always there to automatically help others to be peaceful, and in doing so, they too will be able to see where they are,a dn who they are. We are not only someone's son or daughter, we are the sons and daughters of an infinite amount of people, those who have passed onto us their cells inside of which is hidden the very substance of creation and everything that has happened. Not 'since time began', because there is no beginning or ending. Being a martial artist is only one hundredth of what a warrior is, it is only a part of the whole, it is what gives us the confidence to become a healer, the internal energy to make changes. A warrior knows that we do not have teachers, but guides, the people we meet who are able to give us something internal, that something extra to cause us to become our own great teachers. Just by simply being, a guide helps us to realise that it is we, ourselves, who teach us, because the warrior also knows that locked away inside of everything, is that primordial cell that contains all information. He/she learns to read this information which comes in the form of 'flashes' at first, and this is too much for his/her feeble human brain to handle, he/she shuts off as soon as the flash arrives. But soon he/she learns to read these flashes, and they become longer in duration than just a moment. This is when the warrior knows that he/she is reading time.He/she learns to communicate other than speaking, he/she knows that his/her physical needs are being looked after, and needs not worry where the next mortgage payment will come from. The warrior finds his/her place on the earth and stays there, where the power is. It is not a physical searching, but rather the warrior is 'taken' to where he/she must be, and there he/she stays, and the whole world will pass by, he/she needs not to travel, because the universe is there within him/her, and those who will in turn need to seek him/her out, will do so when their time is right, in just the same way that he/she did when he/she had to travel the world searching for his/her own guides. They then will have to learn to teach themselves from within, and also then go and find their own place, and he/she may never see them again, but this does not worry the warrior, he/she is in contact. The warrior is not the master, he/she is not the sifu nor the sensei, these are just physical words that we put upon ourselves to make us seem important, or better than those who we guide. The warrior is a friend to his/her students, and so cannot be our master. He/she does not wish to gather students as they will search him/her out, and those who need to have a master or sensei will not stay, they will keep searching until they realise that what they search is within them, and who they search, can only be their guide.
