  • Servitors and Immaculate Inner Action

    Servitors and Immaculate Inner Action

    Question:

    A quote from your article, The Nature of good and evil: “While action that is not immaculate, to whatever degree, is perceived by the outer senses as generally evil, heavy, controlling, fearful, deceptive, or morose. In simple terms, immaculate action allows; it gives the freedom that one desires, equally to all others. While other forms of inner action that, from an inner alchemy perspective, are not immaculate, try instead to control and cheat people.”

    Does this apply to servitors or is it absolute that servitors are a part of oneself, where the categories “immaculate or not immaculate” do not apply?
    When I communicate to a servitor, it is very easy to control and confirms “to be me” if prompted. Yet there are also seemingly autonomous, subconscious, and developed characteristic actions as opposed to a formed cube.
    Would forcing the servitor to enter a sort of puppet stage and controlling form directly be a form of control?
    Or not, because it’s actually just still a sort of separated thought form of our self.
    I still struggle with contemplating what makes us humans so special in that regard, to be this beacon of self-consciousness.
    When does this beacon fully form? When are you truly responsible? Only in the limited self-conscious state and only towards other “beings” (organic and/or inorganic)?

    Answer:

    This is the reason why I love servitors and why I created the new servitor journal/workbook. They are such an integral part of not only the basic techniques of inner alchemy, but also crucial to understanding the true nature of existence.

    This is a pretty big statement, so let me try to clarify.

    From the point of view of inner alchemy, we all live within an infinitely large sea of energy. As conscious beings within this sea, we have the ability to work with that energy.

    This is a standard and, dare I say, brief definition of who we are from the perspective I follow. I find this definition highly usable, and it allows for certain expansions of possibility in understanding that can be key to moving forward. However, there are other possible ways to understand the nature of existence.

    We could for example, contemplate the notion that we are a consciousness existing within a consciousness. A more popular way to express this would be to say that we exist within the Mind of God, which is a completely valid metaphor from the point of view of inner alchemy.

    According to that description, we are a certain form of awareness existing within a greater awareness field of such vast proportions that it’s impossible for us to understand its boundaries. This greater awareness in which we dwell can be thought of like a multifaceted psychological entity, shining brightly with all the traits that are part of our own consciousness but in much greater and more powerful proportions.

    Using ourselves as a guide (as above, so below), we can think of this vast awareness as exhibiting all the qualities that make up our own consciousness but on an infinitely larger scale.

    In studying your own consciousness, diving deep within yourself to explore the immense regions found deep within the awareness that is individually yours, you may be surprised by the incredible complexity and range of motion that takes place at every moment. Studying that individual consciousness that is yours, you may be surprised to find that you hold within yourself a sea of energy, an ever-turning tide of whirling power that brings together certain conglomerations while repelling others. Deep within you, there is a structure of activity that in every way possible would seemingly reflect the boundless space and the many planets, stars, and galaxies that you see as you look up into the night sky. That vastness out there is the mind of God.

    As that vast awareness creates you, meaning that you are a thought of that brilliance, you create awareness as well through your thoughts. While your creations might not be as vivid and autonomous, let us say, as the creations of that vast awareness, they are nevertheless true life and living essence in their own limited way.

    The vividness of that vast awareness has created you and has given you free will within a certain range of existence that is yours to share with other similar beings. It has even given you the possibility of expanding that limited range that is yours so that you can continue to evolve far beyond those boundaries and explore the infinity that you’re a part of. Indeed, this evolution that is granted to you is endless, and you can make of that what you like.

    But just like your consciousness, as above so below, is forever churning and turning, that vast awareness that has created you has within it a churning sea of currents and possibilities. In the same way that you can see certain personality traits within you, certain aspects of yourself that might go in one direction while other aspects move in others, the sea of reality that is the mind of God functions in a similar way. But please understand that I’m trying to use simpler terms here; there are certain caveats that we can explore at another time.

    This vast awareness created you, and you created a servitor. It, because of its vast power, created an incredibly vivid and highly individual awareness, while you, being but a small spark from that greater awareness, created a much less developed entity, but one that has the possibility to grow and evolve just like you do, albeit within the bounds of a much more limited range.

    Beyond this, you have the possibility of bestowing upon your individual creations certain extended possibilities. You can, for example, continue your conscious focus on these creations, these servitors, and in doing so, you can make them more vivid and more individual within your field of existence, which then amplifies their power immensely. They will always be limited within the general field of your perceptions, but within that range, you can expand their possibilities through your extended attention. A servitor will never become conscious from your point of view; it can never attain the vividness that was granted to you by that greater awareness. But in other lesser dimensions, let us say, it can begin its own individual evolution. These other dimensions are generally beyond your perceptions, and are part of the vastness that created you, but that you can’t directly perceive consciously. You can think of them like forgotten dreams that continue to exist and give dimension to new possibilities well after you, as the dreamer, have forgotten that you ever dreamt such dreams.

    So you are right in a certain sense by saying that servitors are you, but at the same time, they are not you. In the same way that we could say that we are God because we are an aspect of God, but at the same time, we constantly follow possibilities that are uniquely our own; we are God but a spark of God that has been given the possibility to follow its own spontaneous will. This is a very difficult concept to understand from a human point of view because we have created so many separations between the self and the other. But in simple terms, I could say to you that a servitor is a small spark of you that has the possibility to grow and evolve. And in doing so, this small spark of your awareness expands aspects of you as it expands itself.

    The servitor you have created through your conscious will, has the potential to evolve in other dimensions that are not generally accessible to you. In those dimensions, it can attain a kind of individuality and something that hints at what you might refer to as free will. But this cannot happen in this human dimension, and this is something that I have difficulty in trying to explain to others because of the challenge we all face in understanding the multidimensional nature of our existence. We are multidimensional beings, and aspects of us, our thoughts, do indeed sprout from us and become the seeds that help to develop other dimensions.

    Immaculate energetic action means doing that which is most energetically stable and frugal. But this does not mean skimping on energy per se; it means learning to ride the currents of energy as opposed to trying to plow through everything. It is the difference between being a master mariner on a sailboat and being a self-important dunce on an icebreaker trying to cut through giant sheets of ice. Eventually, the ice cutter will run out of power and be stuck within that ice forever, crushed in time as the ice sheets compress every single ounce of life and structure out of it. The sailboat can sail forever; it doesn’t need big engines to keep it going, and a good mariner knows how to sail so as to avoid the ice. The sailboat only needs the wind that is naturally created by the vast seas, and as long as it sails straight and true, it can potentially sail forever. I hope you can understand my little metaphor.

    When it comes to servitors, immaculate energetic action means using them for joy and greater expansion as opposed to trying to cut through and control something. Even in your efforts to evolve your servitors so that they become more vivid and helpful to you, if you’re truthful about the nature of your own psychology, you will notice that this expansion and evolution of your servitors follows a joyous road. What I mean by this is that if you try to control your servitors too much, a sense of spontaneous creativity and action is lost. It’s like being conscious in a dream; the moment that you try to control that dream too much, it falls apart. But if you control yourself to just the right degree and allow the dream to develop itself, to spontaneously create itself in a way, then you can fly and be a part of unbelievable places and spaces that in their sheer spontaneity and vividness have no equal and become a true otherworld to explore.

    There are great connections here, and they all relate; as above, so below. I cannot say this enough: there are great connections here, and they all relate; as above, so below. That is why I mentioned that servitor creation relates to everything. It relates to The Magnum Opus Trilogy, dream projection, manifestation, and even transmutation.

    You can create a servitor and, in that sense, you could try and perhaps use it as a puppet, as you say. But you may run into certain obstacles here; you may run into energetic sheets of ice. As a good mariner, you must understand that there is opposition here, a current that might not seem quite right, perhaps. You might then choose to take a different path, to follow better currents and perhaps realize that one course leads to the same place as the other but in a more favorable and shorter route. You may or may not find that a puppet you is the same as what I have called the ghost in the machine, and the use of your ghost is a more energetically immaculate choice than a puppet. But this is all for you to decide on your own, for you to navigate using your own intuition and instinct. Immaculate energetic action means learning to ride the wind and the currents perfectly. To do that, you must follow your own inner guides; I cannot tell you the way, I cannot give you dogma to follow.

    So immaculate energetic action is an individual thing. I can’t tell you what currents are most favorable for you. There are some inner alchemists, sorcerers if you like, that pursue certain paths that are for them energetically immaculate. While other alchemists might wish to ride across different currents in the routes that are most suited to them, and what is immaculate action for one might not be immaculate action for the other. We are all individuals within the vast sea, and your immaculate energetic action is not mine.

    We are special because we are the vivid creation of that vast awareness in which we dwell. You are that beacon of consciousness right now; it is your natural gift. You are within the grace of God now. You are responsible for being a creator right now. You are fully formed now, but expanding, and in doing so, you do not only expand yourself but you help to expand that vastness that you are a part of.

    We humans have fallen into a whirlpool of energy now, and there is the possibility that we may be stuck forever within ice sheets that will eventually crush us. For that reason, we have forgotten who we are; we have forgotten our grace. But this is just a challenge like all things are a challenge, and all that we can do is keep striving to be the best navigator possible.

    Immaculate energetic action means taking responsibility for everything that is you. You are responsible for everything in your life now, and aspects of you have known this energetic truth forever. To become the best mariner possible, you must become aware of the sea within you. This means becoming aware of your complete inner reality, the entire ocean within you. You must be conscious of all your thoughts and intentions – everything. This is, of course, a challenging task, and we each start at our own individual beginning.

    As mentioned, aspects of us are already aware of all this, so we’re not trying to become more aware per se; instead, we are trying to unify the totality of ourselves.

    You are therefore perfect now… but evolving. You are fully aware now and the spark of God, but you are evolving. What a contradiction, what a paradox beyond rationality.

    Working with servitors is a challenging endeavor and can be the alpha and omega of an inner alchemist’s path. Within the bounds of that path, there is the possibility for immaculate energetic action. You will know when you are following immaculate energetic action because the deepest aspects of yourself will resonate with that action. To navigate the great dark sea, you must follow the course laid out by the spark within you. We all have our own currents to follow. But whatever you choose, know that you are now and have always been graceful.

  • Servitors and the line between subjective and objective reality

    Servitors and the line between subjective and objective reality

    The truth is that we all love stability, all of us.

    Our greatest source of stability is our routines, our ability to create a stable habit that gives us a sense of control and consistency. We will do anything to get it, even ignore certain things just so our picture of reality remains static and stable. But the world is always throwing curve balls at us.

    It may be just me, but it seems that even the rational skeptic, who appears to have conditioned themselves best to ignore every odd thing around them, is being dragged into a new reality where old mental routines are no longer enough to ensure static stability. It must take a great deal of effort to ignore all of the incredibly strange things at the edges of their perception. Even the skeptic’s first and last bastion, science, has been telling us for a long time that our physical senses are limited, at least to some degree, merely by our expectations and routines

    While our senses have defined physical limits according to modern science, scientific research has shown that human perception can sometimes extend beyond what we typically consider “normal” sensory ranges. Here are some intriguing studies that explore expanded sensory capabilities:

    Visual Perception

    Infrared Vision
    Some studies suggest that under certain conditions, humans may be able to perceive near-infrared light:

    • A 2014 study found that human subjects could detect infrared light as visible images when exposed to certain pulsed laser light. This occurs due to a process called “two-photon absorption” in the retina.

    Ultraviolet Vision
    There’s evidence that humans can perceive some ultraviolet light:

    • Research has shown that people who have had their eye lenses removed (aphakics) can see into the ultraviolet range, perceiving it as a bluish-white color.

    Auditory Perception

    Infrasound Detection
    Humans can sometimes perceive sounds below the typical hearing range:

    • Studies have indicated that exposure to infrasound (below 20 Hz) can affect human physiology and behavior, even when not consciously heard.

    Olfactory Perception

    Enhanced Smell Sensitivity
    Our sense of smell can be more acute than commonly believed:

    • Research has shown that humans can distinguish between over a trillion different odors, far more than previously thought.

    Tactile Perception

    Subtle Touch Detection
    Our sense of touch can be remarkably sensitive:

    • Studies have demonstrated that humans can detect nanoscale wrinkles on otherwise smooth surfaces, showing an extraordinary level of tactile sensitivity.

    Electromagnetic Field Perception

    Magnetoreception
    Some research suggests humans may have a subtle ability to detect magnetic fields:

    • A 2019 study found that human brains can respond to changes in Earth’s magnetic fields, though this ability is not conscious.

    These studies show that our perceptual limits are not as fixed as we might assume. While many may not consciously access these expanded sensory capabilities in everyday life, they suggest that human perception has the potential to extend beyond our typical sensory ranges under certain conditions.

    We are in essence far more capable than we imagine and we have the possibility to see a far broader reality, and yet most of us insist on believing, and therefore perceiving, a static world full of hard objects and a reality that is wholly mundane. Most of us just can’t accept the fact that it may be possible for them to taste color or feel sound, and yet many have such ability, something that is called synesthesia.

    No matter how skeptical we may have become as adults, a part of us deeply craves a return to the magical world we believed in as children. Somehow, in our quiet moments, we know that we are, in a sense, consciously turning away from the great potential within us.

    Unfortunately, we may come to realize this after a lifetime of complacent routine. At that moment, we may say to ourselves that we crave the magic beyond the static of our sensory routine. But after a lifetime, we may have forgotten too much. Many have fallen under the propaganda that tells us that to survive in the adult world, we must forget the magic that was inherently ours as children.

    As such, some may realize that we need a little help to, at the very least, slowdown that routine that has kept us imprisoned within the walls of our skepticism. We may rightfully realize that those walls (that routine that we have created to help us feel safe and part of the crowd) have become so thick that they now seem almost insurmountable. And yet many of us now realize that we need to change, because the drones that we have become are not the true representations of the spark of light that we know is within us.

    To escape those walls of mundane complacency, you must first realize that such walls are never insurmountable, it just takes a willingness on your part to try something new, something beyond the routine that everyone keeps trying to stuff down your throat. And one possible way to do that is to begin to understand the line between perception and manifestation; the line between the ethereal and concrete manifestation of objective essence.

    We may begin by trying to understand the incredible malleability of physical perception, but that is just the beginning. This is so because as you begin to realize that your thoughts and intentions can expand physical perception, you shockingly begin to realize that these same intentions can quite literally change the physical world itself. Intention can change your perceptions, but incredibly, it can also seemingly change the nature of what is perceived as the objective and consensual reality Out There!

    This is when you start to really see that odd line that exists, and has always existed, all around you. That is when you begin to directly perceive a kind of manifestation line that has always been there. You begin to see the line where things go from being ethereal concepts within your mind to being actual, seemingly hard and unchangeable objects outside in what we like to call the ‘real’ world. The subjective and the objective begin to blur, and while this can be an incredibly fearful moment in anybody’s life, it is also a step into true freedom.

    And if you sit around and think about it, these conclusions about the true nature of reality, if explored deeply enough, finally show us a terribly odd Catch-22 moment. This happens when we finally realized that those walls that we have built around ourselves are as magical as anything else. The very belief that they are thick and insurmountable is what goes about making them thus. We are quite literally creating our own prisons!

    Then it becomes a matter of trying to find new ways to break down those walls. Most of us will then need a little push, or some technique that will allow us to hack ourselves out of ourselves. What we then need is some technique or procedure that can give us the slightest possible chance to be able to break through those walls and see just a little bit of what lies beyond.

    I personally believe that one of the greatest techniques or hacks to be able to see beyond those prison walls is the ability to create and work with servitors. A servitor can quite literally show you the power of your thoughts by first helping you understand the incredible malleability of your perceptions, and then by demonstrating the true effect of your intention and your charged thoughts upon what many of us believe is unchangeable reality.

    The ability to work with servitors starts as a power that is uniquely human and has always been within you, no matter how much some may try to ignore it as they become enfolded by the routine of adulthood. This is the magical power of visualization and the ability to pretend, which as a child was as easy as breathing.

    In discovering this inner potential that has never left you, you may be incredibly surprised to learn that you have become even better at it. You may be surprised to realize that just like many of your other capabilities became stronger as you got older, your ability to visualize and to make-believe has become even stronger because of the more powerful will that you now have as an adult. It has become so strong, in fact, that with the discipline of an adult, you can turn those supposed imaginary things into ever more concrete things, so concrete that they seem for all intents and purposes real to you. The concentrated focus available to an adult can allow you to take something that in the past might have been just an imaginary friend, and turn that ethereal imagining into something so concrete that it may even affect what some still consider to be unalterable reality.

    Sure, you may need to take it slow at first. It will be a while before you overcome that routine of adult hood that is so limiting. But in time, as you begin to exercise these atrophied muscles, you will begin to realize that in adulthood these muscles have become stronger. With them, the magical servitor process can begin to show you how the impossible becomes a matter-of-fact reality for those that are willing to extend their possibilities.

    A servitor, which in a certain sense you could call a kind of imaginary friend, can actually become so real, that with a bit of effort on your part you can use them to change just about any aspect of your reality. These servitors can be used to bring you things, protect those things that are important to you, they can provide companionship, and indeed their potential use is only limited by your creativity and imagination. Servitors are quite literally the best way to see that line that has existed, that you have heard people who work with the law of attraction or the like talk about; that line between the inner reality of your thoughts in the outer reality of what you consider to be the hard physical and stable mundane world.

    To that end, I have always recommended the use of servitors and have written about them extensively. I feel that they can be an incredibly potent force for those who seek the magic within but don’t know how to start. They are also the perfect solution for those who have tried many other things and found that the techniques they’ve been working with are just not working exactly right for them.

    Servitors are a natural aspect of our human potential, and they allow us to directly see how our thoughts go from being just ethereal concepts to becoming more concrete and perceivable to us. Moreover, servitors can also bridge the gap between thought and physical reality; indeed, they can become so potently real that they can act as allies, magical servants that can be used to realize all those dreams that seem utterly impossible from the rational skeptic’s point of view.

    In my efforts to try to make these techniques and this knowledge available to others, I have written a number of articles on this website and I have created a trilogy of e-books. And I am happy to announce that I have taken this one step further and created a servitor Journal that is designed to teach you everything that you need to know about creation and the use of servitors.

    Throughout the journal, you’ll find thought-provoking prompts, exercises, inspiring quotes, and illustrations to help guide and inspire you on your magical journey to creating a servitor. Whether this is your first servitor, or you are experienced in these techniques, I think that you will find the material in this workbook incredibly unique and far beyond anything that I personally have seen anywhere else.

    This journal will not only show you and prompt you on creating your first servitor, but it will also show you how to keep track of your servitors’ successes and will even show you how to recognize and interpret synchronicity’s, omens, and other signs from the universe that will quite clearly show you that your servitor is indeed changing the very fabric of your existence. This Journal will show you how to use these signs to help guide your manifestation process, so that your magical allies can become unstoppable. It will teach you about negative beliefs with prompts and exercises that will show you how to uncover these negative beliefs and change them, so that you can get out of your own way and easily achieve goals that in the past may have seemed impossible.

    If you are interested in learning how to create a servitor or how to take your existing skills to the next level and far beyond, then I recommend, Create a Servitor Journal. I have even provided extra pages so that you can continue this process and turn this journal into a true enchanted manuscript, a grimoire of sorts, that you can fill with a true magical Army that will be ready at a moment’s notice to help you with any task you desire.

  • The Nature of Good and Evil: the many faces of the Archon

    The Nature of Good and Evil: the many faces of the Archon

    In presenting the way of inner alchemy, I must always be very careful to follow a very specific line of action that is guided by definitive energetic currents. Metaphorically speaking, we could say that it’s like being a sailor or navigator: I must follow the flow of the ocean and the wind created by it, always ensuring that I stay on course, which pertains to freedom, good will, and honesty.

    The currents are all around us now; they flow, churn, and turn, creating a wind that howls and has the potential to either drag us to distant lands or keep us fixed in a certain place, forever imprisoned within an eddy that won’t let us go. Freedom can only be found by following specific currents; therefore, staying on course is crucial for an inner alchemist.

    In the past, when trying to describe the nature of the Archon, I have used various metaphors. Of these, I think the one that comes closest (in my opinion) to what seers see when they perceive this behemoth is to conceive it as a radio signal constantly broadcasting a dark tune. While this dark symphony has within it the potential to expand our awareness in ways that are incalculable, for most of us this dark signal being broadcast across the world signifies only one thing: imprisonment.

    The Archon eats; it is a voracious behemoth that feasts on the glitter and gold of humanity. It has milked the human race dry, draining it of its magical power and turning us all into gloomy, sedentary creatures.

    In an attempt to delve even deeper into the nature of the Archon, I have previously spoken about the memetic wars. Specifically in my book, Overcoming the Archon Through Alchemy, I provided a detailed definition of what this memetic war entails. Interestingly, these ideas have recently gained more popularity in the mainstream, with individuals like Elon Musk referring to aspects of this memetic battle as the human mind virus. As we awaken to a broader world, I am hopeful that we will all eventually find our freedom from the Archon in time.

    Briefly, in the book mentioned above, I describe the memetic wars as a constant battle between humans aimed at dominating the belief structures of others. In other words, it’s a relentless struggle over beliefs. Once a belief is accepted by an individual, each person fights to convert others to their own belief system. En masse, people unite behind certain belief patterns and then, in a mob-like fashion, engage in converting, by whatever means necessary, other groups to their beliefs. In essence, the Archon is responsible for a kind of thought war – what I call the great psychic wars – because this battle is an internal conflict, not an external affair, with only the final consequences being external and manifesting as oppression, war, and censorship.

    One would imagine that these beliefs have significance, particularly to us as human beings. Our beliefs hold meaning and importance, and we strive to act within their parameters. However, for the Archon, these beliefs are irrelevant. It’s not interested in dogma or persuading you to believe one thing over another. Rather, it feeds on the strife created by the memetic war itself. The Archon feasts on the energy generated by a self-aware individual as they struggle against the currents of their own beliefs and the need to impose those beliefs on others.

    This is the nature of the Archon in accordance with the seeing of inner alchemy. So, from that point of view, what is evil?

    The thing is, this is a problematic question because the answer to it can only be fundamentally realized through direct perception. That is the way of the current that I follow; all true personal answers must come from the self alone. But if you are interested in certain parameters of this current, let us say, then what I can tell you indirectly is that I can’t tell you directly.

    I hope you will forgive me, but I must be very careful here. This is so because, from my point of view, which is rooted in the principles of inner alchemy that I follow, telling you this would be a kind of evil. To try to describe what I consider to be evil from that perspective, I would be essentially engaging in evil myself.

    I strive to take a different approach generally, and that’s what I’ve endeavored to do with most of my writing. What I have sought to do is get your attention so that you know there are others out there who are in a similar battle to yours. I’ve also aimed to tell you that the answers that you seek are within you, rather than outside of yourself. I’ve focused on revealing techniques to you while trying to keep dogma out of the picture as much as possible. My intention is to point you to a door, being absolutely clear about what might be behind it. I may even open the door slightly for you, but it’s then up to you to decide whether to step through and how far to go. Anything else could easily fall into the category of memetic war, you see.

    But if I left it there, this would be a very short article indeed. So, if you’ll forgive me again, I must delve a little bit past technique and into potentially dogmatic territory to try to bring to light the riddle of good and evil from an inner alchemy perspective.

    With all that in mind, I could tell you what a form of evil is from the point of view of inner alchemy. The odd thing is that I would need to start by saying that, for inner alchemy, evil is not a dogmatic or objective act per se, but rather a current of energy that leads towards further entrapment within the quagmire of the Archon, as opposed to freedom. Generally speaking, I could say that goodness for the inner alchemist is the ability to stay within the bounds of a current that leads to freedom, while the opposite of goodness is engaging a current that leads to further Archonic entanglement.


    Defining goodness according to inner alchemy

    I would further add that, from the perspective of the seers of inner alchemy, as they looked upon the world and the influence of the Archon, they realized that certain actions led to freedom, while other actions led to further entanglement and imprisonment. Having seen the nature of these currents, they then developed a system of inner action that would lead an individual unerringly out of the grip of the dark cloud of the Archon.

    There are many names for this kind of inner action that leads to freedom. A great name for it is impeccability. I personally prefer a longer term such as ‘the immaculate pursuit of freedom through the use of the inner senses and energetic truth.’


    Interestingly, this kind of immaculate action, seen from the point of view of an average person who cannot perceive energy directly through inner senses, seems to resemble in every way the act of being selfless, good, humble, and light. From that perspective, such immaculate action bears a strong resemblance to goodness.

    While action that is not immaculate, to whatever degree, is perceived by the outer senses as generally evil, heavy, controlling, fearful, deceptive, or morose. In simple terms, immaculate action allows; it gives the freedom that one desires, equally to all others. While other forms of inner action that, from an inner alchemy perspective, are not immaculate, try instead to control and cheat people.

    From a purely physical perspective, there is great complexity in pursuing immaculate energetic action, and there is the possibility of deception everywhere. However, for someone who has finally learned to see energy directly using the inner senses, such immaculate action becomes easy; it’s simply a matter of following the dictates of what I have referred to as The Spirit in my book, The Art of Transmutation.

    This is a complex and sensitive topic from a verbal (just words) perspective, so let me give you an example. Some might believe that immaculate action is about dogma, thinking that it involves trying to follow an established code of conduct and having others align with those dogmatic principles as written in some text perhaps. However, immaculate energetic action, like energetic truth, must be perceived in the moment. In many ways, one could say that energetic truth and therefore the guiding current of immaculate energetic action are non-local, existing outside of space and time, while dogmatic truths are local, occupying a definite place in space and time.

    As I mentioned in a previous article, energy is only perceivable in the present moment, it cannot be bound by words or expounded through any kind of dogma.

    In order to make this easier to understand let me begin by first defining dogma.

    Dogma is a set of beliefs or principles that people accept as true without questioning them. These beliefs are often established by an authority, like a religion or organization, and followers are expected to accept them without doubt. In simple terms, dogma is like a rule-book for beliefs that you’re not supposed to challenge or question. But beyond this, I can now expand on this definition by saying that for the inner alchemist, to a certain general degree, dogma is any perception that is solely based on the physical senses which are themselves bound to the physical dimension. Dogma is a local phenomenon, it is something that exists bound to the cage of the physical; it is in essence a particle. Energetic truth on the other hand is non-local, it exists in a kind of energetic wave form that is beyond the cage of physical time and space.

    Defining  non-local and local

    Non-local from the point of view of physics refers to phenomena or interactions that occur instantaneously across distances, seemingly defying the usual limitations of space and time. This concept is particularly relevant in quantum mechanics, but this definition is not that helpful when it comes to understanding awareness and the nature of personal reality. In order to truly understand what an inner alchemist means by perceiving energy directly, our definitions must be even more precise.

    So let me give you an even more precise definition of non-locality. From the point of view of inner alchemy, non-local means the difference between a particle and a wave; the difference between unbound energy and bounded particles that have chosen or have been assigned a position in space-time.

    Wave

    A wave is primarily a conceptual construct that exists largely outside physical reality and beyond direct perception by our physical senses. It represents a propagating disturbance or oscillation in a medium or field, characterized by its frequency, amplitude, and wavelength. Waves are often mathematical abstractions used to describe energy, and generally they are not directly observable entities in themselves.

    Particle

    A particle is a discrete, localized point in space-time that can potentially be perceived or detected by the normal range of physical senses or instruments. It represents a fundamental unit of matter or energy with definite physical properties such as mass, charge, and position. Particles are conceptualized as tangible, measurable entities within the physical realm. Particles are aspects of a wave that have been trapped in a particular field rendering them quantifiable within that field, and therefore limited and static.

    Perceptions that I have called ‘energetic truth’ are only available to the individual when they engage a perceptual technique that I call using the ‘inner senses,’ which allows that individual to perceive waves or energy directly. Energetic truth is energy-based; it’s non-local from the point of view of the physical senses. It’s like an invisible ocean of energy that surrounds everything.

    A Simple Analogy

    Imagine you’re playing a video game. Your character (the particle) can only see what’s on the screen. But if your character could turn into a ghost (the wave), it could float through walls and see hidden levels and perhaps even learn to ride the currents of energy that are creating that video game in the first place. By switching between character and ghost, you could explore both the visible game world and its hidden possibilities. In this way, the particle-wave nature of quantum entities allows them to bridge the gap between the physical world we can see and touch, and the mysterious non-local realm of infinite possibilities.

    What the inner alchemist does then is to learn how to engage in a very specific type of perception that allows them to transcend the limitations of the physical world. From this perspective, they are like a character in a video game, occupying a seemingly distinct point in space. At the same time, they can also perceive themselves as a ghost that defies those limitations and becomes aware of the energetic flux that exists beyond locality.

    Energetic truth resides in this non-local, ghost-like reality, where boundaries and limitations do not apply. Immaculate energetic action is only possible when this energetic truth is perceivable. However, whenever someone attempts to impose or bring this truth into the physical world, it ceases to be truth and becomes dogma.

    The physical world, with its rules and constraints, represents a static and limited version of reality – a “videogame simulation” – whereas energetic truth embodies a dynamic and flowing current that cannot be contained within such boundaries.

    But that might make some think that energetic truth must therefore NOT be constant from the point of view of the simulation. The thing is, though this non-locality appears to be forever in flux from our highly limited point of view while trapped within the physical simulation created by the Archonic influence, this energetic truth and immaculate energetic action are nonetheless true commandments that are unalterable and constant. Within that wave form of non-locality, these energetic truths are a true current that, from our very limited time perspective, is unalterable – as such, some inner alchemist might refer to them as The Commandments of the Black Sun.

    This means that energetic truth is a forever and constant force flowing like a current across our sector of reality. Energetic truth is, forever, from our point of view, but it’s impossible for us to pin it down into particle form not because these commandments are shaky – but because we are!

    While bound to the simulation created by the influence of the Archon, we can never perceive energetic truth. It’s only by breaking the bounds of the physical senses and the walls of the videogame simulation that we can approximate the possibility of understanding that great current.

    The dangers of the Archonic simulation

    The greatest danger of the Archonic simulation lies in the inability of those participating in that virtual reality game to perceive the fact that they are living in a video game; that they are trapped within the simulation. Furthermore, it’s also the inability to accept the ‘energetic’ truth that what they experience within the simulation and believe to be absolute truth and justice, is merely a dogmatic interpretation of something that transcends local space.

    Those who cannot perceive this greater reality will inevitably find themselves succumbing to the dark cloud, the dark lie, of the Archon. And by following these limited dictates, individuals may sometimes engage in actions that could be termed evil, even though from their point of view they believe it is utterly just and good.

    For example, a person might pursue what they perceive as the dogmatic good, seeking to censor those who they think are censoring them. They might believe: ‘These people are suppressing me, stifling the truth and justice as I understand it; therefore, to bring goodness to that injustice, I will strive to silence them.’

    However, I hope you can see that such dogmatic action, while seemingly rational in some respects, is actually a logical fallacy – a catch-22 that leads nowhere, an inversion that perpetuates entanglement and gravity rather than freedom. This kind of action is motivated by fearful intent and tends to project its own feelings onto others.

    How does an inner alchemist survive the memetic wars?

    1.      Inner alchemists have been able to perceive through their inner senses that things are created from the inside out. They can perceive directly that thoughts and feelings are the underlying intent mechanism that shapes reality. So, for them, there is no need to impose their will on others; they just need to follow their own immaculate intent, and in doing so, they will find peace and deliverance from the injustices found in the simulation. At best, if they are ‘neck-deep’ in it, as they say, perhaps finding themselves in a particularly treacherous section of the videogame, they may need to sober up and physically pick themselves up and get out of the way as soon as possible. But that’s it. They get out of the way and allow the world to do what it wants to do. Through immaculate inner action and allowing the world to be and do whatever it wants for the most part, they maintain in the face of it good thoughts and intention. This intention can lead them to freedom in time, as long as their inner action is perfect; immaculate.

    2.      Rationality cannot see anything beyond the physical; it is stuck in the simulation videogame created by the Achon. The physical senses provide a very limited but very vivid perceptual matrix that traps many within a very restricted and dare I say highly simplistic mechanical view of reality. The full implications of logic and causality are not explored, and instead, a weird form of Occam’s razor is implemented, where complexity is ignored in favor of ‘the simplest explanation is usually the correct one.’ This, of course, is a dogmatic dictum that favors easy answers as opposed to deep inner explorations that can lead someone to question the supposed facts of the times. Think about it: the easiest answer will always be the answer provided by authority, repeated by authority over and over. It doesn’t get any easier than that. So inner alchemists seek their own individual truth by expanding their mastery of the inner senses.

    [For a highly descriptive and detailed definition of how the inner alchemist thrives within the bounds of the simulation, I highly recommend the books, Overconing the Archon Through Alchemy and The Art of Transmutation.]

    A final ‘shaky’ and static definition

    Using cagey words, I could say that goodness for inner alchemy is freedom, while the opposite (the Archonic/evil) is the deep desire by those trapped in the simulation to censor and control others in order to convert those others to their beliefs. The rational stance with its simplistic logic creates a sense of conformity, correctness, and justification. Those trapped in the simulation then feel righteous indignation, and demand what they have fooled themselves into believing is justice and accountability. Others may even steal, cheat, or hurt others, all the while justifying their actions because of their interpretation of the laws that govern the simulation.

    I could say using those cagey words that goodness for the inner alchemist flows naturally and is easy once they can see the currents of energy directly, while the Archonic always strives to invert and complicate. The Archonic turns up to down and black to white in order to fool those trapped in the simulation to entangle themselves more and more. I have said in the past not to trust others, not to trust even me, but only to trust yourself. I will expand on this here by saying don’t trust the simulation, trust instead in the inherent goodness within you that cannot be bound within the videogame that you are now playing. If you must believe in something, then believe in your inherent power. You have the possibility to go beyond the physical limitations of this vivid simulation. Use your feelings and from wherever you are, which is the center of the known universe, expand those feelings outward until you feel that current that cannot be contained.

    But these are words on a page, and the instant that this was the case, these words became dogma. It is my hope that you don’t accept these words as utter truth or throw them out without thought. Instead, I hope that you use them as a catalyst to try to explore the non-local reality beyond the video simulation that the Archon has deluded you into creating. It is my hope that you use these words as a catalyst to try to find your own direct connection to those non-local currents beyond the simulation. You can then decide for yourself whether you will allow and flow like an inner alchemist or follow whatever current suits you best.

    It is my hope that this splash of dogma dissection allows you to get in touch with your own energetic truth, so that you can then decide for yourself as an individual what immaculate inner action means to you.

  • Don’t Trust Me. Trust yourself!

    Don’t Trust Me. Trust yourself!

    The world is changing fast.

    What an odd statement that seems to me as I write this. But the energetic truth, as I perceive it, is that it is indeed changing, and that rate of change is increasing. I call that increasing ‘the quickening’, and I have spoken of other factors that are related to this quickening, such as the increasing human population.

    But the world is always changing, contrary to some popular opinion – that’s not something new. Moreover, getting to the fundamental truth of things as the world turns, tumbles, and expands has always been difficult.

    Why is that? Why is it so hard to find and know the truth?

    This is the case because, as I see it, there are no facts as most people understand them. There are what I refer to as ‘energetic facts’, but those are of the moment. An energetic fact is something that must be perceived in the moment through the inner senses, which can only perceive the flow of energy in the moment. This means that energetic facts are not some kind of static thing that you can put on a wall and rely upon them to make you feel comfortable for the rest of your life. Instead, they are a flowing river, and every moment holds within it what could be termed a variety of existences and potential experiences. Without this variety in each moment, there would be no freedom.

    I have been trying to tell you this from the beginning: there are no facts. Another way to express this is to say that at each moment, you engage a certain cognitive position. This position determines how you will cognize, perceive, and create your personal world out of what you perceive. Indeed, this cognitive position even controls perception itself; it can change the workings of the outward-facing physical senses and to a lesser degree, the inner senses.

    We are not at the mercy of chaos, though. We do have a way to begin understanding our world and our highly individual position within it. While outer sense perceptions can be altered drastically depending on a person’s cognitive position, the inner senses are far more stable. If mastered, meaning if one is able to work with the inner senses, those senses will always provide you with what I refer to as energetic truth, as opposed to outer camouflage. And this energetic truth, which flows in accordance with the energetic flow of all reality, can allow you to begin working with the very nature of awareness itself, enabling you to create your own reality from the inside out.

    From the very beginning, I have consistently said: do not trust dogma, even my own. Throughout my work, I have insisted that you use only those parts of my work that resonate with you as a launching point to begin learning certain techniques that might be effective for you, allowing you to develop your inner senses. The mere acceptance of the possibility of inner senses can initiate a process within you that will ultimately lead you to your own individual truth.

    The world is changing rapidly, and we all seem to be on the cusp of something new. However, let me share a little secret with you: many of you likely suspect this – but at every moment in history, those who lived through that time perceived the world as being on the brink. What I mean is that people in the past perceived the world just like individuals do today. No matter the point in history, people have always felt that the world is accelerating rapidly and that everything is about to come crashing down at any moment.

    In this sense, you are not different from a person who lived 100 years ago or a thousand years ago. For them, according to their cognitive position, life was moving incredibly fast, and it felt like there was a revolution or cataclysm just around the corner. Although there were some variations depending on how far back in history you go, the cognitive position of the times made it seem to them that they were at the center and on the very edge of the known universe. From this central position, they looked outwardly onto the chasm of the future, and to whatever degree, they feared the limits of their perception; they feared the future.

    The physical senses are indeed limited, as we all know too well.
    Due to these limitations, people in what the physical senses tell us is the past felt fear and discomfort. People sought answers so they turned to external assistance in trying to overcome the shadows that surrounded them. You might say that this is when dogma began – when people lost the ability to work with their inner senses and instead relied solely on outer physical perceptions. They then sought guidance from others rather than themselves, looking outwardly for answers rather than inwardly. This marked the beginning of new orders being established. A kind of clergy and government were needed, and these new organizations required validation – they needed to prove their worth and credentials. And so, the gods provided credentials initially, and priests were created. As time passed, bureaucracies of increasing complexity were also demanded and created. You needed a badge, some kind of parchment of authority, or title, to be part of that ruling class that began to try to decipher what was in the shadows, ultimately telling others what to do.

    Now, we have infinitely complex hierarchies of established masters of dogma. You can get a PhD in dogma; you can become a cleric of dogma. These bureaucracies may become corrupted, and to what degree is up to you to decide, in accordance with your own truth. That is not a memetic battle that I want to be a part of, so I’ll let you figure that out on your own without any input from me.

    And as these dogmatic bureaucracies grew, the people demanded more and were indignant. If you’re going to tell us what to do, then you must prove your credentials. You must jump through the hoops we deem trustworthy, and give your solemn vows while holding whatever dogma text to your heart. This means that in the end, you have a highly established order of function, a huge and well-functioning dogma machine, that is tasked with giving authority to tell others what to do. And this dogma machine is not just made up of those who are part of those bureaucratic organizations; it is also made up of and sustained by ‘the people’ who insist on being told what to do. In other words, those bureaucracies of dogma cannot be solely blamed for whatever they say or do. Such bureaucracies exist and are given the greatest power because we find it so hard to look inwardly for truth. The dogma machines are our creation.

    Inner alchemists are individuals, perhaps much like yourself, who have at any point in history become aware of this crazy need for dogma as opposed to inner knowing. They may not have a clear picture of it, not initially anyway. But it usually starts with a nagging feeling, a feeling that something isn’t quite right. This feeling is, of course, an inner sense; it’s an inner feeling that they just can’t shake. This inner sense tells them that something is wrong, that they’re missing something. Some people might come up with all sorts of interesting ways to try and describe this feeling, such as describing the world as a matrix or a simulation. Others might conceptualize hidden illuminated orders or overlords of alien or demonic origin. All these are, in a literal sense, inner feelings. And those who pursue these inner feelings end up discovering that there is indeed an incredible cover-up that has, from the point of view of physical senses, otherworldly origins.

    In time, pursued with the greatest sobriety imaginable, the path that the inner senses reveal leads to certain principles and techniques. These principles usually start with a step-by-step procedural system that will allow an individual to begin to trust their inner feelings as opposed to external dogma. Pursued long enough, these inner feelings even show an intrepid individual how to begin to work with the sea of energy, the infinity that surrounds us.

    I am a person who has pursued the revelation of those inner senses farther than some. I am a person who, due to my pursuits, have had the opportunity to become what I term an ‘inner alchemist.’ Being an inner alchemist means that I follow a certain procedural system that is individually mine, but that follows certain currents within the flow of the sea of infinity. This procedural system means that, for one thing, the last thing I want to do is become anybody’s guru.

    My desire is that you weave and dive through my material as you see fit, following your own personal instinct and impulses, only trusting and taking part in what feels right to you at the moment. At every turn, I try to remind you to use whatever works for you to whatever degree, but never turn me into some kind of Lord of truth. I am just a simple inner alchemist; I am nobody. I write about what I know because my current, the house that I follow, which I term inner alchemy, has tasked me with this. I write about what I know because the very nature of the cognitive framework that we all share in this part of the world on this earth at this time demands that I subsist physically using a certain kind of modality. All of this is part of my existence at this time, and it is part of my challenge.

    We are all in a similar boat, being that we all share a very similar cognitive position that imposes distinctive limitations that require us to participate in a certain order of needs, like the ones outlined in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. This starts with physiological needs such as air, water, food, shelter, sleep, clothing, etc. This is our cage, but some of us strive to break out of it.

    I am bound to this cognitive position for a little while longer, and during that time, I will write what I know in the most forthright way possible. But I will not allow myself to be put into the guru category. I might be shooting myself in the foot according to some; if I just follow the established hierarchies and begin to provide credentials and badges in accordance with whatever the newest credentials and badges are in this place at this time, then I could just go with the flow and thrive within Maslow’s hierarchy.
    But the moment that I do that, I have failed. The moment that I become some trusted source that must provide ‘transparency’, is the moment that I have failed you. I can’t become an authority in the niche of inner alchemy. That is an oxymoron because the whole point of what I’m trying to be a part of and help you understand, and hopefully be a part of yourself, is a cognitive position where there is no dogmatic truth.

    What does all this mean?
    It means that there is no transparency here. As those wonderful people who have been following my writing for a while know, there has been a great deal of diversity in this website. I have in the past written about dating, business, and some financial matters using a plethora of different styles and technologies. I have also written on a number of topics that don’t seem to be related to anything self-help at times, and I will continue to write from deep within myself outwardly, never limiting myself.
    The world is changing, and the rate of that change is speeding up. I can perceive this through my inner senses, and I have provided a myriad of techniques, both my own and from other sources, that I hope will help you discover your own inner truth. As we head into the future, the ability to look within will become more and more important. Artificial intelligence has already and will continue to blur the line between what you think of as fact in accordance with the physical senses. That is truly the nature of this coming time – the complete blurring of physical fact from the point of view of the physical senses.

    What is to come? What does this quickening bring?

    In the coming decades, the physical world will change so much that stability within it will be impossible for many. Things will become more and more fluid as technology advances to the point where you won’t be able to know who is talking and when. You won’t be able to know if an event happened in physical reality or if it was created by some powerful artificial intelligence as a mirage.

    People will then demand transparency from those bureaucracies they established to try and bring light to the shadows of their perceptions. There will be conflict as groups fight amongst themselves in order to establish truth in accordance with whatever they believe physical truth is. Old-established truths will be exposed as lies, and bureaucracies will crumble as others are created. But step-by-step, the illusion of the physical senses will be revealed. The supposed certainty by which even science and scientific principles have been established will begin to crumble, and new dynamic procedures will need to be created.

    Most dogma will disappear, and along with it, the many badges, titles, and forms of authority that in the past gave legitimacy to the established bureaucracies of the world. Artificial Intelligence as we know it is only the beginning; the world of the future will be a true matrix of sorts, and the new technologies will make the comfortable and static physical reality you take for granted obsolete.

    Then, you will only have yourself; you will only have your inner senses. But do not believe this prophecy. Do not take my word for it; instead, try the techniques I always talk about in my books, which show you how to develop your inner senses and ‘SEE’ for yourself. Begin to trust yourself now, because what is to come will demand greater and greater inner stability.

    I will neither become your guru nor your authority figure. I will not provide transparency for you so that you can try to plug me into a role and feel more comfortable about life and reality for a little while. I will not be chained by whatever framework or cube you demand of me, so that I become your authority figure in the inner alchemy niche. I will not compromise my creative freedom in any way to make it into the ‘trusted authority’ list. I will write what I want to write because it comes from deep within me, and I will use whatever technology or whatever I personally deem to be a positive message in accordance with the current that I follow. I will use Artificial Intelligence, secondary sources, or whatever I like as long as I follow the standards of my house, which are very high indeed and demand my impeccability. That is the only guarantee of my work I can give.

    As the world changes, I will need to give up my creative freedom to suit the ways of the new orders I suppose 🙂 The way of inner alchemy is the way of adapting and changing so that that you don’t stand out and get crushed by the ‘machine’. But I do hope that instead of trying to impose some supposed rule of action on me or others, you instead begin to trust yourself. The more you trust yourself and your own inner knowing, the less you will be inclined to worry about the creative actions of others.

    So don’t trust me. It is my hope that you never truly trust me like some venerated guru, I certainly don’t want that kind of responsibility, even though I am sure that this medium that I have chosen will curtail most of it in time.

    Until then, I desire to push you, to make you think and try; I want you to grow and trust nothing but yourself in the end. Trust only yourself.

    I see the light in you and I want you to shine!

  • The Art of Manifestation:  Harnessing Belief to Tackle Environmental and Social Turmoil

    The Art of Manifestation:  Harnessing Belief to Tackle Environmental and Social Turmoil

    Belief and faith can move mountains, but they can also cause natural disasters. I always wonder how much certain individuals think about this. I mean, all those people who believe or are at least willing to try to begin believing that thoughts have power and that certain intentions, especially if they are held unyielding over time, can change reality, can alter the objective reality all around us.

    For those who are willing to believe, do they realize that this means that everything in the objective world, in the physical world that they see around them, is the result of their thoughts and intentions? This quite literally means that we create the weather, and I have tried to bring this to light in the past through articles such as ‘the true hockey stick in the equation’

    In this article, I attempted to highlight the possibility that the great instability people have been observing in the weather lately may not be directly caused by human physical interference, but rather the result of the increased human population and the cumulative thoughts and intentions of billions of individuals.
    We create our reality through our thoughts and intentions. On an individual level, we are accountable for the world we perceive, and have the possibility to choose every moment what we will experience next. However, on a mass scale, the aggregate sum of human thought and intention contributes to shaping the environment, and we are directly responsible for the world that unfolds as a result.
    What a daunting statement in one sense. And yet, at the same time, it is also a liberating and incredibly empowering declaration. If you are truly willing to accept the fact that you create your own reality, then you must acknowledge that the collective reality shared by all humanity on this planet is also your responsibility to some extent.

    Just like a raindrop that, on its own, might not realize it’s part of a hurricane, you exist as a unique and separate water bubble falling from the sky. Since you create your reality from the very center of your being, you, in that sense, stand at the center of all creation. You can, from that individual moment, choose to perceive and be a part of a joyful reality free of pollution and natural disasters. However, such movements and directions in an individual’s life do indeed become more challenging if one finds themselves surrounded by people who are dogmatically insistent on seeing only the worst.

    The large majority of the world is not prepared to accept the fact that they create their own reality through their thoughts and intentions. As a result, they refuse to take responsibility for the myriad of thoughts that go through their minds throughout their day. Just imagine how many thoughts you have in one day; try to keep track of the general nature of these thoughts.

    Keeping track of every single thought is, from the average person’s point of view, impossible; however, you can try to pay attention to your moods, and by doing so, you can get a general sense of the nature of your thoughts throughout your day. With a little bit of effort, you may realize that many of your thoughts, perhaps because they are so influenced by the social media around you, may be quite negative. Others might find that they tend to have a more positive attitude. Whatever the case, contemplate at least the general trend of your thoughts and in this way discover, generally speaking, the underlying current that you might be part of.

    Think about the general nature of your thoughts. Think about the thousands of thoughts that you might have in one day, and then imagine all the people around you and the thousands of thoughts that they have. Consider all the thoughts that you might have in this day as a kind of general intention or intent, like a current that leads in one direction generally. Then notice how, in this sense, every single person around you is following a general intent or reality of their own. But being that your own reality attracts you to people who share your reality, again generally speaking, then using the metaphor I have tried to stick to thus far, you are like a raindrop that can slowly move itself across a vast sky and become part of different currents as it falls unerringly from the sky.

    In that way, then, you create the weather patterns around you by being part of a general current. The sum of your thoughts throughout your day moves you in certain directions and attracts you to others who share the same general intent as you. Together, you create a current that is quite literally a kind of weather pattern, and you exist within the cumulative intention that you have all created together.

    Your beliefs and faith do not only create the good things in your life but also the unpleasant things as well. And on a mass level, you create not only a splendid day and clear skies, but you also participate in creating the chaos all around you.

    And you might ask yourself, what am I to do with all this information? I mean, I can’t change the thoughts of others and what they are willing to believe. I am stuck where I am.

    This may seem physically true at the moment, in accordance with your outer physical senses, but you do have the possibility of moving the current of your existence. This does not mean a physical or external move, but it quite literally begins as an internal action. What I mean by this is that, as an individual droplet of water, you must start from the very center of the universe, which is the very center of your being, and begin to control the nature of your current of thoughts. In doing so, you will begin a slow and inevitable move away from any current that you do not want to be part of, and in that way, move internally before any kind of external move can take place.
    It may be difficult for you, depending on where you find yourself at the moment. This is something that is seldom discussed by people who believe in the power of thought to create reality, but the truth is that if you are in the midst of a current of very negative people, then moving away from that current will be harder for you. The intent of others does indeed affect you, and going against the current of what you might perceive to be the world can be difficult in the beginning. You must stand firm in your own beliefs and ideas in the midst of the intention of others. And like a lowly little droplet trying to push its way across a windy sky, you will have to steel your intent and focus on the new reality that you want until you can slowly move in a new direction.

    Again, this is an internal action, rather than an external one. What I mean by this is that you do not need to physically move per se; instead, what you need to do is physically move internally. If you believe in the power of thought to change reality, then you must begin there. You must change your thoughts – the thousands of thoughts you have throughout the day – and, in doing so, change the general intent of your life. This sounds challenging at first, but this is the only true change possible. You are a remarkable being, with the potential to move in the direction you desire, even in the face of great adversity. However, that change will not come from without, and it does not involve any kind of bizarre physical or external action. Instead, you must begin from within because this is the only place where you will truly see any positive and lasting change.

    As you change your current thoughts and beliefs, you will see changes externally manifesting as well. You might not physically move at all, but you may find that many disasters affecting the world no longer affect you as much. A kind of momentum will start building within you, and this internal momentum will propel you – in an impossibly hard-to-define way – to a place where even in the midst of chaos, you remain unaffected by it. It is possible that, over time, you may find yourself physically moving into the best situation for you.

    This world has the possibility of being hell on earth or a true heaven. This is the secret and revelation – hell is here, heaven is here. They are just a breath away; they are just a turn of the head away. It is up to you to choose what you will be a part of, but that choice is not some kind of physical conflict; instead, it is an internal action where you begin to slowly take stock of your inner reality and begin to change yourself from the inside out – always moving in the direction you want to go. There is no judgment here, nor any horrible intent browbeating you to tell you exactly what you’re supposed to do according to whatever dogma. Instead, there is freedom to do whatever you desire. And in doing so, you will discover that your greatest bliss will bring about a positive change to the entire world.
    There are many ways and techniques to begin this change within yourself. I encourage you to explore your personal impulses and seek out those techniques that work best for you. As an inner alchemist, I personally prefer the techniques that are part of my current practice. I have written extensively on this kind of inner alchemy of reality, specifically in books such as ‘Overcoming the Archon through Alchemy.’ I would highly recommend that book to you if you’re interested in understanding the nature of your reality – that lowly raindrop falling from the sky. There, you will find ways to understand the currents of which I speak, and also ways to move in your own individual direction.

  • Historical Recurrence: Understanding the Cycles of History and Its Impact on Human Civilization

    Historical Recurrence: Understanding the Cycles of History and Its Impact on Human Civilization

    Do things repeat themselves? Does the world feel like an ever-turning merry- go-round that seems to be going in circles? Most people in the modern world believe in linear time. They think there is a past they can look back at and remember, as well as a future they can look forward to and try to predict but never fully know until it finally arrives. We are often told that we are evolving, that things are changing, and indeed there does seem to be increasing change and modernization, at least from a technological point of view.

    However, if you look around with a critical eye and have had the possibility of studying the past in some manner, you will notice that in some fundamental ways, the world has not changed very much at all. Interestingly, there seems to be a cyclical nature to everything, including human endeavors across time.

    In a previous article The Cycles of Time, I explored the differences between modern society and past civilizations, particularly those from the medieval period. I mentioned the fact that every era finds itself within its own present moment point, and that moment point creates a new cognitive position that is unique. In that article, I also challenged the notion of linear time and evolution but did concede that there was a type of slow transmutation in people. I did not dive deeply into the reason why human evolution is so slow and so full of ups and downs. I did not want to go to deep into that because this would inevitably lead us to the cyclical looping nature of human reality, which is a very large rabbit hole indeed.

    In this article, I aim to extend the concepts of the cyclical nature of human reality (Historic Recurrence) further, by arguing that despite changes in cognitive positions across time at certain levels, there are inherent building blocks of the human psyche that remain relatively consistent even across vast expanses of history. This homogeneity in people can be referred to as a recording, a cognitive crown of thorns, or a stamp that has been imprinted upon the collective psyche of humanity.

    What this means is that even though cognitive positions of humanity may change across time, there is this underlying recording, or ARCHETYPE, that stays the same. Therefore, a large aspect of the psyche stays the same and is forever present in people, but the expression of those archetypes changes in accordance with different cognitive positions. As such, we have different types of civilizations throughout the ages, meaning that at a certain point in time a new cognitive position in people might have them express those underlying architypes in a certain way, while in a different era these same architypes might be expressed differently. At one point in time, in accordance with a certain cognitive position, a civilization might evolve technologically and express those architypes within them in a certain way, while at another time a more emotionally driven cognitive position might be present and a completely different expression of those same architypes might be expressed. But being that those architypes are deeply imbedded in the psyche, all motion by any one group at any point in time, will eventually lead to the same place, which is in essence an ever- repeating loop. So, there is no significant human evolution or change, just an ever-winding loop, a cage, that does not permit easy escape.

    The Study of Cyclical Patterns

    For centuries, scholars have been captivated by the cyclical patterns evident in human civilizations and history. These interests date back to ancient times, where philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle contemplated the recurring nature of societal progress and decay. More recently, thinkers like Giambattista Vico and Oswald Spengler have built upon these ideas, drawing correlations between the rise and fall of multiple civilizations across time. Many have noticed striking resemblances between modern Western civilization and ancient empires including Rome and Greece, observing comparable patterns of growth, prosperity, decadence, and eventual decline. This cyclical perspective of history contradicts linear notions of advancement, suggesting that societies may undergo foreseeable phases of development, peak, and regression.

    Archetypes and Cyclic Patterns

    To study this cyclical trap that seems to forever take us to a kind of crescendo only to have us crash back down into barbarism, as Robert E. Howard would put it, we could start by understanding the nature of archetypes as they were defined by Carl Jung. Archetypes are universal, archaic symbols and images that derive from the collective unconscious, as proposed by Jung. They exist in both the individual and the collective and go about creating the reality that a person manifests as a single being and as a member of a society.

    These embedded patterns have been placed within the conscious and, at a certain level, within the unconscious. We seem to be driven to repeat endlessly old patterns that create a very limited range of positive and negative outcomes. These outcomes then go about creating a seemingly cyclical human reality, where as individuals and as a collective civilization, we seem to go from periods of great prowess and evolution to periods of deep darkness and utter barbarism.

    Inner Alchemy and Breaking the Cycle

    An inner alchemist is someone who can see that archetypical recording that seems to have been placed in the human psyche. By understanding it and perceiving it directly through their ability to see and use their inner senses, they find that they are able to predict individual and civilizational action. Most importantly, they are able to stand in awe as they see the endless merry-go-round of existence.

    Having seen this endless merry-go-round created by this archetypical recording embedded within the psyche, they then conceive the myriad of cages that are the true nature of human existence. And having seen the many cages, they engage in the act of trying to break out of all of them.

    Historical Recurrence and Eternal Recurrence

    The concept of Eternal Recurrence, as eloquently described by Nietzsche, can be seen as a recurring pattern throughout history. This idea suggests that humanity is trapped in a cycle of creation and destruction, perpetually repeating itself. To escape these psychological traps, one must first acknowledge and accept this eternal recurrence.
    As Nietzsche noted, acknowledging the eternal recurrence allows individuals to develop the resilience necessary to live without resentment or wasted energy, even in an infinite series of lifetimes where this pattern is repeated.
    However, this is merely the initial step. There are methods and strategies to transcend this cycle. One such method is ‘energetic containment’, another is ‘energetic absorption and reabsorption’, and a myriad of other techniques that have been refined by inner alchemists over centuries. I delved into these techniques in my Magnum Opus Trilogy, and I wholeheartedly recommend reading it if you seek to free yourself from the endless cycle of historical recurrence.

    Conclusion

    The concept of historical recurrence challenges the notion of linear progress and suggests that human societies are bound by cyclical patterns. In this article, I propose that the general public will begin to understand this concept of historical or eternal recurrence when they start to recognize the nature of certain aspects of the human psyche and how these embedded patterns shape human reality. These patterns were perhaps best described by Carl Jung when he defined archetypes.

    Archetypes, as Jung conceptualized them, are universal, archaic symbols and images that derive from the collective unconscious. They shape human reality by creating a kind of scaffolding or belief structure blueprint that influences the entire human mind. This mind, guided by these embedded belief structures through the archetypes, then goes about creating both individual reality and the reality of the human collective.

    By studying these patterns, humanity can gain a deeper understanding of not only its past and present but also its future. Recognizing these patterns makes it possible to predict certain future outcomes because patterns of action are likely to be repeated, as these archetypes are deeply ingrained in the mind. Indeed, removing or transcending these archetypes becomes one of the major tasks for anyone trying to break out of the cages created by an endlessly repeating pattern of action that persists throughout a lifetime.

    There are techniques and different practices that have been studied not only by inner alchemists but also by those who have searched for freedom and true spiritual evolution. For example, the concept of Samsara, which can be loosely translated as “wandering” or “cyclic existence,” suggests that by breaking free from attachments and ignorance, we can begin to escape the endless cycles of birth, death, and rebirth.

    In my opinion, the most effective methods I’ve found for overcoming the constraints imposed by archetypes in the mind are those rooted in inner alchemy, which I explore in-depth in my Magnum Opus Trilogy. This trilogy provides practical strategies for transcending these archetypal patterns and attaining liberation from a purely physical existence. I strongly recommend it to anyone seeking alternative ways to break free from the cycle of eternal recurrence.

  • The Enlightenment Rollercoaster: Navigating the Ups and Downs of Spiritual Awakening

    The Enlightenment Rollercoaster: Navigating the Ups and Downs of Spiritual Awakening

    Introduction:

    Embarking on a spiritual journey can be like hopping on a rollercoaster – an exhilarating adventure that’s full of twists and turns, unpredictable moments of joy and excitement, and sometimes downright terrifying drops into the unknown. As you begin this winding path, you may find yourself oscillating between feelings of euphoria and despondency, as if you’re taking two steps forward and one step back on your quest for enlightenment.

    But don’t be fooled – you’re not alone in this journey! Many people before you have traversed the same terrain, navigating the complexities of spiritual awakening with varying degrees of success. In this article, we’ll explore the often-misunderstood process of spiritual awakening, dispelling common myths and shedding light on the mysteries that lie within.

    As you embark on this inner odyssey, it’s essential to be prepared for the unexpected. Spiritual growth is a journey of self-discovery, and like any rollercoaster ride, it’s bound to have its ups and downs. But with the right guidance and mindset, you can learn to navigate the twists and turns of your personal growth, harnessing the power of your inner wisdom to overcome obstacles and reach new heights.

    So, lets strap in because the ride is about to get interesting. The rollercoaster of spiritual awakening awaits – are you ready to take the first step?

    The Enlightenment Myth: Debunking the “Destination” Fallacy

    The pursuit of enlightenment can be an all-consuming passion for many seekers. We’ve been led to believe that it’s a final destination, a cosmic finish line where all struggles cease, and eternal bliss begins. But here’s the truth bomb: enlightenment is not a one-and-done deal. It’s a dynamic, ever-evolving process that requires constant nurturing and attention.

    The “destination” mindset is problematic for several reasons:

    • It creates unrealistic expectations: We’re led to believe that enlightenment is a tangible goal that can be achieved through a specific practice or ritual. This sets us up for disappointment when we don’t immediately achieve the desired state.
    • It leads to frustration and discouragement: When our expectations aren’t met, we may feel like we’ve failed or that we’re not good enough. This can lead to feelings of burnout and discouragement, causing us to abandon our spiritual practices altogether.
    • It ignores the value of the journey itself: In our haste to reach the finish line, we overlook the incredible growth opportunities that arise during the journey. Each step forward is a chance to learn, adapt, and evolve as a person.

    So, why do we perpetuate this myth? Perhaps it’s because we’ve been conditioned to believe in quick fixes and instant gratification. Or maybe it’s because we’re afraid of the unknown and prefer to cling to familiar concepts. Whatever the reason, it’s time to let go of this limiting mindset and embrace the present moment.

    Embracing the journey: Instead of fixating on reaching a mythical end-point, focus on embracing the present moment and the growth opportunities it presents. Remember that even the most enlightened masters continue to learn and evolve. In fact, they often report that their spiritual practices become more profound and nuanced as they mature.

    So, what does this mean for you? It means that your spiritual journey is not a destination to be reached, but rather an ongoing process of discovery and growth. It means that each moment is an opportunity to learn, adapt, and evolve. And it means that the value lies not in achieving some mythical state, but in the journey itself.

    By letting go of our attachment to the “destination” fallacy, we can cultivate a deeper appreciation for the present moment and the incredible growth opportunities it offers. We can learn to cherish each step forward, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant it may seem. And most importantly, we can discover that true fulfillment lies not in reaching some distant goal, but in embracing the journey itself.

    The Backsliding Phenomenon: Two Steps Forward, One Step Back

    The journey to spiritual awakening is often marked by moments of profound insight, followed by periods of regression. If you’ve ever felt like you’ve made significant progress one day, only to wake up feeling like you’re back at square one the next, you’re experiencing what some spiritual teachers call “backsliding.” This phenomenon is not only common but also an essential part of the awakening process.

    Understanding backsliding: Backsliding can occur at any stage of your spiritual journey, whether you’ve been practicing for a few weeks or several years. It’s as if your consciousness has reached a new plateau, only to be challenged by the forces of ego and conditioning. This phenomenon is not a sign of failure, but rather an opportunity for growth and deeper understanding.

    Key points about backsliding:

    • More frequent in the beginning stages of awakening: As you begin your spiritual journey, you may experience more frequent episodes of backsliding as your mind and body adjust to new patterns and habits. This is a natural part of the process, and with patience and persistence, you’ll find that these episodes become less frequent over time.
    • Can occur even after long periods of stability: Just because you’ve experienced a period of relative stability doesn’t mean that backsliding won’t arise again. In fact, it’s often during times of complacency that our egos and conditioning can sneak back in, causing us to regress. This is why it’s essential to maintain a consistent practice and stay mindful of your thoughts and emotions.
    • Serves as a catalyst for deeper growth and understanding: Backsliding may be frustrating at times, but it can also serve as a powerful catalyst for growth. When you’re forced to confront your own limitations and doubts, you’ll develop a greater sense of compassion and understanding towards yourself and others.

    Embracing backsliding: Think of backsliding as spiritual resistance training. Just as muscles grow stronger through cycles of stress and recovery, your consciousness expands through periods of clarity and confusion. By embracing these moments, you can:

    • Develop greater resilience: With each episode of backsliding, you’ll develop a greater sense of resilience and ability to bounce back from setbacks.
    • Cultivate compassion and self-awareness: Backsliding provides an opportunity to explore your own thought patterns and emotions, leading to a deeper understanding of yourself and others.
    • Discover new insights and perspectives: Each time you experience backsliding, you’ll have the chance to re-examine your spiritual practices and gain new insights into the nature of reality.

    Remember that backsliding is an inevitable part of the journey to spiritual awakening. By embracing these moments with patience, compassion, and self-awareness, you can transform them into opportunities for growth and deeper understanding.”

    FAQ: Navigating the Ups and Downs of Spiritual Awakening

    Q1: Is it normal to feel like I’m losing progress?

    A: Absolutely! Fluctuations in awareness are a natural part of the awakening process. These perceived setbacks often pave the way for deeper insights and more stable growth. In fact, many spiritual seekers report experiencing periods of regression as their consciousness expands, allowing them to let go of old patterns and limitations that no longer serve them.

    As you navigate these ups and downs, remember that it’s essential to be patient with yourself and your journey. Spiritual awakening is a process that unfolds at its own pace, and setbacks are an inevitable part of the journey. Instead of getting discouraged, try to view these moments as opportunities for growth and learning.

    Q2: How can I minimize backsliding?

    A: While some backsliding is inevitable, you can reduce its frequency and intensity by:

    • Maintaining a consistent spiritual practice: Regularly setting aside time for meditation, journaling, or other practices can help anchor your spiritual growth and prevent backsliding.
    • Cultivating self-compassion and patience: Treat yourself with kindness and understanding, just as you would a friend who is struggling. Remember that setbacks are a normal part of the journey, and that you have the power to course-correct at any time.
    • Surrounding yourself with supportive, like-minded reality expanding individuals: This process doesn’t have to involve group activity which can be dangerous because it’s sort of like putting a bunch of fish in a barrel, all there together ready for easy picking. Instead, I suggest surrounding yourself with inspirational books, a library of media that inspires you, and constantly searching for new media and new authors that motivate you. In this way you will be led quite naturally to a like-minded world, then you can consider letting certain key people into your oasis.

    Q3: What should I do when I feel like I’ve lost my connection?

    A: Remember that your connection to the divine is never truly lost – it may just be temporarily obscured. Use these moments as opportunities to:

    • Practice mindfulness and present-moment awareness: Focus on the present moment, without judgment or distraction. This can help you reconnect with your inner self and the universe.
    • Reflect on past experiences of connection and clarity: Think back on times when you felt fully connected and engaged with your spiritual path. What were some common themes or practices that helped you access those states? Try to recreate those conditions to regain your connection.
    • Engage in activities that nurture your soul (meditation, nature walks, creative expression): Make time for the things that bring you joy and fulfillment, as these can help you reconnect with your inner wisdom and sense of purpose.

    By acknowledging the natural ups and downs of spiritual awakening and taking proactive steps to maintain your connection, you’ll be better equipped to navigate the twists and turns of your journey.”

    The Journey IS the Destination: Embracing the Process

    The concept that the journey is the destination is often overlooked in our pursuit of spiritual awakening. We tend to focus on the end goal, whether it’s enlightenment, self-realization, or inner peace. However, by doing so, we miss out on the incredible opportunities for growth and transformation that arise along the way.

    Benefits of embracing the journey:

    • Reduced anxiety and frustration: When you stop fixating on the destination and start enjoying the process, you’ll find that your sense of urgency and stress will dissipate.
    • Increased presence and mindfulness: By being present in each moment, you’ll cultivate a deeper sense of awareness and connection to yourself and the world around you.
    • Greater appreciation for the lessons in every experience: Every challenge, triumph, and setback is an opportunity for growth and learning. When you focus on the journey, you’ll begin to see the value in these experiences and appreciate the wisdom they bring.

    Why the journey matters more than the destination:
    The journey itself holds so much significance because it’s where we truly connect with ourselves, others, and the universe. Every moment of every day is an opportunity for growth, learning, and transformation. By embracing this journey, you’ll discover that:

    • Spiritual growth is not a linear process: It’s more like a spiral, where you revisit familiar themes at deeper levels of understanding and integration.
    • The destination is constantly changing: The moment you reach one milestone, the next one appears on the horizon. This keeps you engaged and motivated, as there’s always something new to look forward to.
    • The journey is where true freedom lies: When you stop focusing on external goals and start embracing the present moment, you’ll find a sense of liberation that’s unparalleled.

    Practical tips for embracing the journey:

    1. Practice mindfulness and presence: Take time each day to cultivate awareness in your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations.
    2. Reframe challenges as opportunities: View difficulties as chances to learn, grow, and develop resilience.
    3. Celebrate small wins: Acknowledge and celebrate your progress along the way, no matter how small it may seem.
    4. Connect with others on similar journeys: Try as best you can to surround yourself with people and media that understand and support your spiritual journey, but learn to be strong enough to stand before all ideologies and memetic mind virus infection. To that end I recommend the book, Overcoming the Archon Through Alchemy.
    5. Embrace imperfection: Recognize that perfection is not the goal; growth and transformation are the ultimate outcomes.

    By embracing the journey as the destination, you’ll discover a profound shift in your perspective and approach to spiritual awakening. You’ll find joy, fulfillment, and a deeper connection to yourself and the world around you.

    The Power of Inner Knowing: Trusting Your Inner Guidance

    One of the most transformative realizations on the spiritual path is that all the wisdom you seek already exists within you. The answers to your deepest questions are not found in external sources but in the quiet whispers of your own heart.

    The importance of inner knowing:

    • Unconditional trust: When you trust your inner guidance, you’ll find a sense of unconditional trust in yourself and the universe.
    • Increased confidence: As you develop a deeper connection with your inner wisdom, you’ll radiate confidence and self-assurance.
    • Clarity and purpose: Your inner knowing will guide you towards your true life’s purpose and provide clarity on the decisions that align with your soul’s path.

    Practical tips for accessing your inner wisdom:

    1. Develop a regular meditation practice: Set aside time each day to quiet your mind, focus inwardly, and listen to the whispers of your heart.
    2. Journal your thoughts and insights: Write down your reflections, observations, and insights from your meditation practice or daily life experiences. This will help you tap into your subconscious mind and gain clarity on your inner guidance.
    3. Pay attention to your intuition and gut feelings: Learn to trust your instincts and listen to the subtle nudges that guide you towards your highest good.
    4. Create space for silence and reflection in your daily life.

    The Illusion of Separation: Recognizing Your Interconnectedness

    At the heart of our collective human experience lies a profound realization – one that has the power to transform our understanding of ourselves, others, and the world around us. This is the recognition that we are not isolated beings, disconnected from each other and the universe, but rather an intricate part of a vast web of life.

    This epiphany dissolves the illusion of separation, revealing a reality where every thought, action, and emotion has a ripple effect on the entire cosmos. It is this interconnectedness that holds the key to a more compassionate, harmonious way of being – one in which we move through life with a sense of unity and shared responsibility.

    Ways to cultivate a deeper understanding of interconnectedness:

    • Spend time in nature, observing the intricate web of life that surrounds us – from the tiniest microbe to the vast expanse of the universe
    • Study the use of the inner feeling sense and personal intuition, uncovering the secrets that reveal our interconnectedness with all that exists

    As we embody this truth of interconnectedness, we begin to see the world through new eyes. The fluctuations in our spiritual journeys become less dramatic and more integrated into our overall growth, allowing us to move forward with a sense of clarity, purpose, and unity. In this way, we can co-create a world that is more harmonious – one where every individual has the opportunity to thrive.

    The Eternal Now: Everything Has Already Happened

    Here’s a mind-bending concept to ponder: from the perspective of the eternal present moment, everything that is to happen has already happened. This realization can free you from the anxiety of constantly striving for future attainment and allow you to fully embrace the perfection of the present moment.

    Practical applications of the “eternal now” concept:

    • Let go of worrying about future outcomes
    • Release regrets about the past
    • Fully engage with and appreciate the present moment
    • Trust in the divine unfolding of your life’s journey

    By aligning yourself with the eternal now, you tap into a wellspring of peace, joy, and unlimited potential.

    Conclusion:

    As our enlightening exploration comes to an end 🙂
    it’s crucial to remember that the spiritual journey will never end; it isn’t about reaching a final destination it’s about the ride itself!
    For that reason, you must start right now to embrace the beautiful, messy, and transformative process of awakening. It’s vital to understand that backsliding, doubts, and moments of disconnection are not obstacles to overcome but integral parts of your growth.

    By trusting your inner wisdom, recognizing your interconnectedness with all of life, and anchoring yourself in the eternal present moment, you open yourself up to the profound grace that has been within you all along. This realization is essential because it reminds us that enlightenment isn’t a destination we can reach; instead, it’s an ongoing journey of self-discovery and growth for a being that is already far more than it could ever imagine.

    So, next time when life throws you into the turbulent rides through the twists and turns of what seems like an enlightenment rollercoaster, remember to take a deep breath, smile, and embrace everything. Each challenge and triumph along the way is part of this incredible ride called life. Embrace the journey, trust the process, expand your consciousness, and move closer towards embodying your true, radiant self with each twist and turn.

    You can never finally be enlightened because you are in many ways infinite and the universe itself is constantly expanding, forever growing. We don’t live in a closed system. Contrary to popular opinion we don’t live in an entropic and closed world, we don’t live in hell. The reality is that we are already in heaven, an open system that is forever expanding and growing to become more itself. All you have to do is finally realize who you are and where you are.

  • The Solo Journey of the Inner Alchemist: Finding True Creativity and Personal Growth Amidst the Chaos

    The Solo Journey of the Inner Alchemist: Finding True Creativity and Personal Growth Amidst the Chaos

    In today’s fast-paced world, it’s all too easy to feel lost in the noise of societal expectations and the constant pressure to conform. For those seeking personal growth and self-discovery, this feeling can be especially pronounced. Yet, what if the answer doesn’t lie in the external world of shared experiences and societal involvement, but within the depths of our own being?

    This is the concept of inner alchemy, a practice steeped in the traditions of alchemy and personal transformation. Inner alchemy tells us to delve deep within ourselves and uncover the hidden treasures that lie within. This journey is not for the faint of heart, but it offers a unique reward – the opportunity to become more oneself, to shine a radiant inner light that can take us to incalculable places and even inspire and deepen the journeys of others.

    A. The Intensity and Radiance of the Inner Alchemist’s Journey

    The inner alchemist’s journey is an artistic quest for self-discovery and transformation, a courageous venture into the uncharted territories of our own minds. It’s an exploration into the depths of our consciousness, where we uncover the hidden aspects of our psyche, the whispers of our soul, and the secrets of our own unique essence. As we delve deeper into the labyrinth of our own being, we begin to unravel the tangled threads of our thoughts, emotions, and desires, revealing the intricate patterns and designs that shape our lives.

    With each step, the intensity of our inner journey increases, like a flame burning brighter with each passing moment. The more we confront and transcend our fears, doubts, and limitations, the more radiant our inner light becomes. This light is not just a flicker of insight or a flash of inspiration, but a steady, pulsing glow that illuminates our path and guides us towards our highest potential. The deeper we delve, the more our inner radiance intensifies, casting a warm, golden light upon our surroundings, nourishing and illuminating all that we touch.

    As we continue on this journey of self-discovery, we begin to realize that our inner alchemy is not just a process of personal transformation, but a gift to the world. Our unique blend of experiences, perspectives, and passions becomes a catalyst for creativity, innovation, and positive change. Our inner light shines brighter, hopefully illuminating the path for a select ‘few’ others to follow, and our presence becomes a beacon of hope and inspiration in a world that often needs it. The intensity and radiance of the inner alchemist’s journey is a journey that never ends, a lifelong process of growth, evolution, and transformation, as we continue to uncover, refine, and share our inner gold with the world.”

    B. The Solo Journey: Embracing the Inner Alchemist’s Path

    Our journey as inner alchemists may be a solo one, but it’s a necessary part of the process, a crucial step towards awakening our true potential. By embracing our inner light and focusing on our personal growth, we create a space for true self-expression and transformation. We become beacons of inspiration, shining our light for those who will benefit from it, and in doing so, we not only illuminate our own path but also provide a guiding force for others to follow.

    Inspiration breeds inspiration, and one individual’s journey may deepen the depths of another’s. A single spark can ignite a wildfire of creativity, innovation, and progress. However, it’s essential to remember that the way of the inner alchemist is not one of shunning the world but of becoming more oneself. It’s not about hiding away from others, but about cultivating a sense of authenticity and integrity that radiates from within.

    And, of course, this comes with the caveat of knowing that one must be very careful in our dealings with others and the memetic wars they engage in. In a world where external validation and social comparison often reign supreme, it’s easy to get caught up in the whirlpool of other people’s opinions and lose sight of our own inner guidance. But the inner alchemist knows that true power lies not in conforming to external expectations, but in staying true to one’s own inner truth.

    As we embark on this solo journey, we must be willing to confront our own shadows, our deepest fears, and our darkest insecurities. We must be willing to look within, to listen to our own inner wisdom, and to trust our own inner guidance. And in doing so, we will discover that the greatest magic lies not in the external world, but in the depths of our own souls. Our inner alchemist’s path is not one of isolation, but of connection with our own true selves, and from this place of inner harmony, we can radiate our unique light into the world, inspiring others to do the same.

    C. Memetic Wars: Navigating the Battlegrounds of the Mundane

    The world outside can be a distraction, filled with memetic wars – ideological battles that often result in dogma, repetition, and the banal. It’s a world where people are more likely to get caught up in the latest trends, memes, and ideologies, rather than seeking authentic connection and growth. As inner alchemists, we must navigate this terrain with care, protecting our inner light and focusing on our personal growth.

    The memetic wars are a constant barrage of stimuli, designed to shape our thoughts, emotions, and beliefs. They can be overwhelming, and it’s easy to get caught up in the vortex of other people’s opinions and perspectives. But the inner alchemist knows that true power lies not in conforming to external expectations, but in staying true to one’s own inner truth.

    In this world of memetic wars, most people seek dogma, seeking answers and validation from external sources rather than within themselves. They crave certainty and stability, and are often willing to trade their autonomy and creativity for the fleeting comfort of conformity. But the inner alchemist must seek true creative expression, not just intellectual understanding or superficial agreement.

    We must be discerning in our interactions with others, seeking out those who fly higher than the average person, true individuals who share our commitment to authentic self-discovery and transformation. These individuals are rare, but they can be found in unexpected places.

    The memetic wars are a test of our resolve, a gauntlet thrown by the external world to see if we will stay true to ourselves. Will we conform to the norms of society, or will we forge our own path, guided by our own inner light? The choice is ours, and the stakes are high. But for those who choose to navigate the memetic wars with care, the rewards are immeasurable – a deeper connection to our own true selves, and a radiant light that shines brighter with each passing day.

    D. Seeking Out True Creators: Finding Rare Birds

    The company we keep plays a crucial role in our personal growth and transformation. It’s a truism that we are shaped by the people we surround ourselves with, and yet, it’s often overlooked in our haste to achieve success and recognition. By seeking out true creators – those who are beyond the dogma, the repetitive, the common, the NPCs – we find kindred spirits who can inspire and challenge us.

    These rare birds are the pioneers, the trailblazers, the game-changers. They are the ones who refuse to conform to the status quo, who challenge the norms, and who push the boundaries of what is possible. They are the ones who are driven by a burning passion, a sense of purpose, and a desire to shine like gorgeous stars in the sometimes-dark sea of reality.

    When we surround ourselves with these true creators, we find ourselves inspired and motivated. We begin to see the world in a new light, as a vast expanse of possibility and potential. We start to feel a sense of excitement and anticipation, as we realize that anything is possible, and that we have the power to shape our own destiny.

    These rare birds help us soar to new heights and deepen our understanding of ourselves and the universe. They challenge our assumptions, our biases, and our limitations. They encourage us to take risks, to experiment, and to push beyond our comfort zones. And in doing so, they help us to unlock our full potential, to tap into our inner strength and creativity, and to live a life that is authentic, meaningful, and fulfilling.

    So, how do we find these rare birds? How do we attract them into our lives, and how do we nurture and cultivate our relationships with them? It starts with being open, receptive, and willing to take risks. It starts with being willing to step outside our comfort zones, to explore new horizons, and to connect with people who share our passions and values.

    It’s not always easy, and it’s not always comfortable. But the rewards are immeasurable. When we surround ourselves with true creators, we find ourselves growing, evolving, and transforming in ways that we never thought possible. We find ourselves becoming the best version of ourselves, and we find ourselves living a life that is rich, meaningful, and fulfilling.

    E. The Importance of Solitude: Cultivating Inner Refuge

    Solitude is a powerful tool for the inner alchemist. In a world that is increasingly noisy, crowded, and distracting, it is essential to carve out space for quiet reflection and inner exploration. By doing so, we deepen our connection to our inner light and accelerate our personal growth and transformation.

    Solitude is not about isolation or loneliness; it’s about creating a sense of inner refuge, a sanctuary where we can retreat from the chaos of the external world and reconnect with our true selves. It’s about finding silence in the midst of noise, stillness in the midst of turmoil, and clarity in the midst of confusion.

    In solitude, we can tune in to our inner wisdom and intuition, allowing us to guide ourselves on our journey of personal growth and transformation. We can listen to our own inner voice, untainted by the opinions and expectations of others. We can explore our own thoughts, emotions, and desires, without the distractions and interruptions of the external world.

    Solitude also allows us to recharge and rejuvenate, refilling our inner wellspring of energy and vitality. It’s a chance to disconnect from the constant demands and expectations of others, and reconnect with our own needs and desires. It’s a time to rest, relax, and rejuvenate, allowing our minds, bodies, and spirits to heal and renew.

    The importance of solitude cannot be overstated. In a world that is increasingly fast-paced and frenetic, it’s easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of activity and forget to slow down, reflect, and recharge. But the inner alchemist knows that solitude is a necessary ingredient for growth, transformation, and inner peace.

    By making solitude a priority, we can cultivate a deeper sense of inner connection, clarity, and purpose. We can tap into our inner wisdom and intuition, guiding us on our journey of personal growth and transformation. And we can emerge from our solitude feeling refreshed, renewed, and revitalized, ready to tackle the challenges of the world with greater ease, confidence, and inner peace.

    F. The Power of Authentic Self-Expression: Sharing the Fruits of Our Labor

    As we continue on our inner alchemist’ journey, we may feel compelled to share the fruits of our labor with the world. We may feel an overwhelming desire to express our creativity, share our insights, and connect with others who resonate with our unique perspective. And yet, it’s essential to remember that our primary audience is ourselves and those rare individuals who will truly benefit from our creative expression.

    These individuals are the kindred spirits, the fellow travelers on the path of personal growth and transformation. They are the ones who will appreciate our authenticity, our vulnerability, and our willingness to take risks. They are the ones who will resonate with our unique frequency, and who will amplify our energy and our message.

    But we must be mindful of the memetic wars and the potential for our work to be co-opted or diluted by those who don’t share our commitment to authentic self-expression. We must be cautious of those who would seek to water down our message, to manipulate our intentions, or to use our creativity for their own gain.

    Instead, we must stay true to ourselves, and to our own unique vision. We must stay committed to our own inner guidance, and to the integrity of our creative expression. We must trust that our work will find its way to those who need it most, and that our impact will be felt in the world.

    When we share the fruits of our labor with the world, we must do so with intention, with integrity, and with a deep connection to our own inner truth. We must be mindful of the energy we are putting out into the world, and of the potential impact it may have on others. And we must be willing to adapt, to evolve, and to refine our message as we continue on our journey.

    Ultimately, the power of authentic self-expression is not just about sharing our creativity with the world, but about staying true to ourselves in the process. It’s about honoring our own unique path, and respecting the sacredness of our own creative expression. And it’s about trusting that our work will have a profound impact on the world, even as we stay grounded in our own inner wisdom and intuition.

    G. The Transformative Power of the Inner Alchemist’ Journey

    The inner alchemist’s journey is a transformative process, one that requires courage, resilience, and a deep commitment to authentic self-discovery. It’s a journey that leads us to the depths of our consciousness, where we unearth the hidden treasures that lie within. As we delve deeper into the mysteries of our own minds and hearts, we begin to uncover the secrets of our true nature and the potential that lies within us.

    By embracing our inner light and seeking out true creators, we deepen our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. We begin to see the world through new eyes, with a fresh perspective and a renewed sense of purpose. We start to recognize the interconnectedness of all things, and the ways in which we are all part of a larger web of life.

    As we continue on this journey, we discover that the transformative power of the inner alchemist’s journey is not just about personal growth and transformation, but also about the intensity of the light within us and how this light can impact the world.

    The transformative power of the inner alchemist’s journey is a gift that keeps giving. It’s a process that never truly ends, but one that continues to unfold and evolve as we continue to grow and learn. And as we share our inner light in the form of personal and unique art, by bringing what is within us without, we inspire others to embark on their own journey of self-discovery and transformation.

    As you progress on your own inner alchemist’s journey, remember that you are not alone. Embrace your inner light, seek out true creators, and trust in the power of your own creative expression. And, above all, remain committed to your personal growth and transformation, for it is through this journey that you will find true release and fulfillment.

    The inner alchemist’s journey is a solo journey, one that requires a deep commitment to authentic self-expression and a willingness to navigate the challenges of the memetic wars. By embracing our inner light and seeking out true creators, we deepen our understanding of ourselves and the universe, and inspire others to do the same. May your journey be filled with radiance, transformation, and the sweet sound of your secret harmonies.

  • Simulation theory, older religions, concepts of a multiverse

    This is my response to a question that someone asked. I found the question so interesting that I decided to post it as a new article. It’s not my hope to offend any religiously minded people, as I do not question the validity of such beliefs. Rather, it is my hope to provide an inner alchemist’s perspective on the ever-developing expanse within us, and how we try to come to terms with it.

    The question is as follows:

    Hi John
    Thanks for posting this article and the link:

    My Partial Refutation of “The Richard Feynman Series Part 1”

    I think it perfectly mirrors your own ambition to tell your readers not to take anything (especially words and their interpretation) for granted. However, I have a question about the micro and macro that is also covered in this video: I currently feel that the simulation theory deserves a lot of credit as it gives potential explanations for otherwise rather mysterious theories (what is often referred to as “science” without giving actual proof). What is your opinion on the simulation theory? As I am reading your book about OBEs currently, I was wondering if by having one we might exit this sim and enter a parallel one instead. And the Archon for example might be the adversary (role) player that makes our experience in this simulation (and others) challenging and worthwhile so we can grow spiritually. In other words, the collective reality is given for our individual (alchemical) transformation to take place – which leads back to “there is nothing to change but self”. I would love to hear your opinion about this?

    My response:

    I find the simulation theory to be a very interesting way for modern people to try to grasp the incredible magnitude of what I refer to as the dark sea.

    I have found that every human age has a certain way of classifying and judging the beliefs of its time. What I mean is that every age has its own version of theology, its own religious framework. By religious framework, I mean the way a certain society within a particular window of time is able to truly come to terms with and explore realities and experiences that are at the fringe of personal belief as individuals and as a society.

    To the individuals of that time, those terms and the way they map out reality need to be credible. Accepted beliefs are incredibly important here.

    For people to believe something is real, those things need to be explained using terms and theories that are in complete alignment with the current facts of the time, and each window in time accepts only certain things to be facts.

    Due to the “fact” that the outer senses can only perceive time as a linear event, the beliefs (that is, the facts) of a certain historic period seem to be cutting edge, meaning that everything that preceded this particular time (the past) is inferior, and what is in the future is better, more right, more evolved. What I’m trying to say here is that simulation theory is not a new concept; it is just the newest way to conceptualize (and for some, to utterly believe in) the newest fact framework of the time. For some, this new theory is an interesting way to conceptualize greater possibilities, but in time (for some, already), the simulation theory is already fact. We may be witnessing the birth of a new religion using the current “all is science” framework.

    In the past, other windows in time had different words for simulation theory, and there were certainly slight alterations in those general theories as proposed by those people at that time. For example, we could say that the Christian doctrine is one such theory that became utter fact for a time. Interestingly, even though it is for the most part overlooked in this modern time, that old theology had its own kind of science that was quite valid and quite useful to the people of the time. And if we were to take measure for measure, as to which is more helpful to people, there were actually great benefits to that old science, just like there are benefits to this new one. And while that old science did not function in a generally technological kind of way like this new science that now posits simulation theory, that old science functioned through more internal methods that were quite valid and useful to people in medieval Europe, for example.

    Certainly, from the modern perspective, being that we humans perceive time as a linear event, and being that psychologically such a framework of perception makes it seem like the past is inferior while the future is cutting edge, that past version of simulation theory seems wrong and can never answer the questions of a modern belief framework.

    So, modern simulation theory is the current theology; it is an attempt, a scientific attempt, at tackling the nature of the psyche, or what the Christian framework might have called the soul.

    With all that in mind, I find the modern simulation theory incredibly interesting. And being a modern person myself, I am greatly interested in the new technological versions of a systematic theology.

    If anything, perhaps this new theology will allow others, perhaps through the use of virtual reality, let us say, instead of “Ignatian meditation”, to explore such profound revelations for themselves in a different way.

    Interestingly, you are studying a book on a very old way (astral projection) of exploring the incredibly mind-bending properties of our shared reality. The problem comes, of course, when theory turns into fact in the minds of the practitioners, and certain interpretations of deep experiences while exploring that outer edge of the dark sea are taken to be unassailable fact. That is when theory becomes theology.

    And if you doubt the power of the mass of humanity to turn science into theology, then all you have to do is look at these past few years to see just how certain health practices were initiated worldwide.

    The simulation is an incredibly interesting theory that is actually as old as time, and I encourage you to try to see the connection between this current idea of a simulation and past ideas and traditions. You may, for example, be interested in the connection between modern ideas of an adversarial character in a Sim and the accuser or the adversary in old Hebrew.

    But whatever you do, it is my hope that you begin to trust your inner knowing as opposed to outer dogma, whether that is the modern science of the times or a past one. What do I mean by this? Well, I hope that in the future you might ‘see’ that there is no difference between science trying to prove simulation theory and Thomas Aquinas trying to prove whether an angel moving from A to B passes through the points in between.

  • Terence Howard, Eric Weinstein, and the problem with experts

    I. Introduction

    The world of science and innovation is a captivating territory, teeming with revolutionary discoveries that appear to be unfolding at an exponential rate. I’ve mentioned in previous articles that the world is experiencing a quickening, which translates to an escalating pace of innovation and advancements across all domains. However, this landscape is not without its challenges, as the tension between established experts and innovative thinkers can lead to contentious debates and disagreements.

    As the world accelerates, and the traditional order begins to creak under the pressure of the relentless pace of change, such clashes between the past and the future are bound to become more prevalent. In this article, I intend to highlight a graphic example of this dynamic by exploring a recent Joe Rogan Podcast featuring Eric Weinstein, a renowned mathematician and theoretical physicist, and Terrence Howard, an actor and self-proclaimed innovator, and their different viewpoints on the prospect of new discoveries in mathematics.

    Weinstein, an esteemed figure in the scientific community, has been known for his skepticism towards the likelihood of significant mathematical discoveries. His perspective, shared by some experts, highlights the challenges that come with pushing the boundaries of knowledge and the importance of relying on established principles and methodologies.

    The Joe Rogan podcast played host to an intriguing debate between Weinstein and Howard, where their contrasting intellectual approaches were brought to the forefront. Howard, a self-taught mathematician, claimed to have made groundbreaking discoveries in the field. However, Weinstein questioned the validity of Howard’s claims, citing the improbability of new mathematical discoveries and challenging Howard’s use of terminology and understanding of fundamental concepts.

    This article explores the core issues of their debate, including disagreements on scientific terminology, contrasting views on mathematical understanding, differing perspectives on proof and evidence, and the clash of intellectual approaches. While I do not agree with much of what Terrence Howard has proposed, I find his theories challenging and intriguing. His ability to bring light to older ideas on geometry and vibratory science is worth a deep investigation.

    Most importantly, this debate outlines the difficulty in pushing through the bureaucratic mess that modern science has become. Going forward, it is my hope that we can find a sober solution to the problems between established experts and innovative thinkers. However, as is usual for the race, what we will most likely encounter is a slow civil war where old bureaucracies will slowly fall due to their inadequacy.

    I would personally like to avoid this kind of slow entropic war, as it has the potential to lead us into a new Dark Age. With that in mind, I have called for the development of what I refer to as a mind science – one that could incorporate internal perceptions and intuitions, like those Howard may have access to, and rigorous, truly open exploration of those insights by scientists willing to explore new possibilities openly.

    II. Historical Examples of Geniuses Challenging the Status Quo

    The tension between established experts and innovative thinkers is not a new phenomenon. Throughout history, there have been numerous instances where groundbreaking thinkers faced resistance and skepticism from the scientific community of their time. I want to highlight just two people, perhaps among the most famous in the long list of individuals who dared to challenge the accepted beliefs of their time. In this list, I could have included figures such as Nikolai Tesla and Wilhelm Reich, who not only faced ridicule but were also punished and had their work stolen.

    1. Galileo Galilei (1564-1642): A pioneer in observational astronomy, Galileo challenged the prevailing geocentric model, which held that the Earth was at the center of the universe. His observations and discoveries, such as the moons of Jupiter, provided empirical evidence for the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus. Despite facing significant opposition and even being placed under house arrest by the Catholic Church, Galileo’s work laid the foundation for modern astronomy.
    2. Albert Einstein (1879-1955): Einstein’s revolutionary theories of relativity challenged the classical view of physics, particularly Newtonian mechanics. His theory of general relativity, which describes the large-scale structure of the universe, fundamentally altered our understanding of space and time. Initially dismissed by many in the scientific community, Einstein’s theories ultimately gained acceptance and have become the cornerstone of modern physics.

    These historical examples demonstrate the importance of challenging established norms and pushing the boundaries of knowledge, even in the face of skepticism and resistance. Whenever you hear someone say it’s very unlikely that an innovative person can make a contribution in a particular field, you know you’re dealing with someone whose reality tunnel has shrunk to allow only for certain narrow possibilities. They have literally erected a cage around themselves; their beliefs do not permit them to see beyond the walls of their belief structures. The stories of Galileo, Einstein, and other powerful innovators remind us that the path to innovation is often fraught with challenges. In the best of cases, these rebellious insights can lead to groundbreaking discoveries that reshape the world, but often, these discoveries are buried and later abused by elite groups.

    It’s my hope that we, as a large group of aware people, can become conscious of and challenge those halls of established authority. And I do feel that this is happening. The sanctioned technology of the world has thankfully reached a point where it allows many more people to communicate, experiment, and think about groundbreaking new (and old) sciences and possibilities. I am very optimistic about our potential future.

    When faced with such hardheaded skepticism, like the kind often seen in academic halls, I often wonder if late at night these academics can truly grasp just how small they are. I wonder if their empathy allows them to face the fact that humanity is tiny in the face of the infinity that surrounds us.

    I don’t wish to indulge in Lovecraftian sentiment, but we are indeed insignificant in the face of the vast cosmos that surrounds us. This is obvious to anyone with empathy, and yet we constantly hear a message from the academic body, which boils down to: ‘I truly doubt that your theories have anything new to offer; we’ve figured most of it out by now, and your views don’t fit into our framework.’ Such a superior, self-important stance is, in my opinion, shortsighted.

    III. The Weinstein-Howard Debate: A Case Study

    The Weinstein-Howard debate, taking place on the Joe Rogan podcast, offers a compelling modern-day illustration of the tension between established experts and innovative thinkers. In this section, I will summarize what I feel were the key points of contention between the two figures and analyze how their exchange reflects the broader tension between defending established knowledge and proposing unconventional ideas.

    • Weinstein’s Position:

    Eric Weinstein, an accomplished mathematician and theoretical physicist, emphasized his credentials as an expert and the importance of adhering to established scientific terminology and principles. He argued that Terrence Howard’s use of terms like “supersymmetry” was misleading and potentially damaging to the scientific discourse. Weinstein also expressed skepticism about Howard’s claims, citing the low probability of making groundbreaking mathematical discoveries as a reason for his skepticism.

    • Howard’s Position:

    Terrence Howard positioned himself as an innovative thinker, even if his approach was unconventional. He attempted to explain his theories using a mix of scientific and less conventional language, which often led to misunderstandings and frustration from Weinstein. Howard also referred to his patents as potential evidence for his claims, despite Weinstein’s disagreement on their relevance to the scientific debate.

    • Analyzing the Debate:

    The Weinstein-Howard debate serves as a microcosm of the broader tension between experts defending established knowledge and innovators proposing unconventional ideas. Weinstein’s emphasis on established scientific terminology and principles represents the importance of maintaining rigorous standards in the scientific community. However, his skepticism towards Howard’s claims also highlights the challenges of evaluating the validity of unconventional ideas and the potential risks of dismissing them outright. In trying to defend terms that stem from the academic need to support the legitimacy of prior theories (which may at times become erroneously taken as facts by some scientists), we finally face the true reason why it is almost impossible to communicate new theories with the old guard. Essentially, they must defend prior foundational beliefs because if these fall, their castle falls as well.

    Howard’s innovative approach showcases the value of pushing the boundaries of knowledge and the importance of openness to new ideas. Yet, his use of unconventional language and reluctance to engage with established scientific discourse was and will always be the breaking point between the old guard and truly new and innovative thinkers. To engage in the discourse that such an established old guard is after, the innovator needs to become part of the academic circle, which then presupposes getting the ‘correct’ academic ‘training’ and credentials, which can take a lifetime. If this sounds like a bit of a catch-22, then you have hit the old academic defense strategy, square in the head.

    So, people like Einstein, with the help of Ernst Gabor Straus and many others, were able to turn brilliance into understandable academic language, being that he was an academic himself; but those without such credentials have little chance to change the established order. Their only chance is to hopefully make new engineering discoveries like Tesla, and then hope that these patents aren’t stolen or suppressed.

    Ultimately, the Weinstein-Howard debate underscores the importance of fostering a balanced approach to scientific discovery, one that values both the rigor of established knowledge and the potential of innovative ideas. In the following section, we will explore the implications of this debate and the lessons it offers for the future of scientific discourse.

    IV. The Role of Expertise and the Potential for Innovation

    The Weinstein-Howard debate highlights the importance of both expertise and openness to new ideas in the scientific community. In this section, we will discuss the role of expertise, the value of questioning established paradigms, the potential pitfalls of dismissing unconventional theories, and the possibility of breakthroughs in various fields, using Weinstein’s acknowledgement of innovation in engineering as an illustrative example.

    • The Importance of Expertise:

    Expertise plays a crucial role in maintaining rigor within scientific fields by ensuring that research is based on a solid foundation of knowledge. Experts bring a deep understanding of the underlying principles and methodologies, enabling them to evaluate new ideas critically and contribute to the ongoing development of their fields.

    • The Value of Openness to New Ideas:

    Openness to new ideas is equally important for scientific progress. Challenging established paradigms and exploring unconventional theories can lead to groundbreaking discoveries and advancements. As history has shown us, many revolutionary ideas were initially met with skepticism, but ultimately transformed the way we understand the world.

    • The Pitfalls of Dismissing Unconventional Theories:

    Dismissing unconventional theories solely based on their conflict with current understanding can limit our potential for discovery. By closing ourselves off to new ideas, we risk overlooking potential breakthroughs and missing opportunities to advance our knowledge. Weinstein’s skepticism towards Terrence Howard’s claims serves as a reminder of the importance of carefully evaluating unconventional ideas while remaining open to the possibility of their validity.

    • The Possibility of Breakthroughs in Various Fields:

    Weinstein’s acknowledgement of innovation in engineering, particularly the development of the Rubik’s Cube, illustrates the potential for breakthroughs in various fields. The Rubik’s Cube, initially an unconventional puzzle, ultimately led to significant advancements in mathematics, computer science, and even robotics. This example demonstrates how seemingly unconventional ideas can ultimately contribute to the development of established scientific fields.

    Howard brought up the Rubik’s Cube on several occasions during the debate to try to highlight his point that a simple toy could revolutionize science and actually change mathematics, but this key point was largely brushed aside I feel,  with the true understanding of what he was trying to say going unheeded.

    How many know that Tesla was awarded the patent for remote control in 1888? At the time, this patent was considered a novelty and mostly ignored. Very few people saw the change that such an invention would herald. And now Tesla’s original idea has been used to change many aspects of the world, without much credit given to him personally.

    The Weinstein-Howard debate underscores the importance of both expertise and openness to new ideas in scientific progress. While expertise maintains rigor and ensures the solid foundation of scientific knowledge, openness to new ideas pushes the boundaries of understanding and drives innovation. By acknowledging the potential for breakthroughs in various fields, we can learn to participate in the delicate balance between adhering to established norms and embracing unconventional theories.

    This will be crucial in navigating and staying afloat as the world speeds up at an alarming rate. If we cannot do this, I fear that we may fall into a new Dark Age as academia in its current form is erased from the world.

    V. Navigating the Divide: Fostering Innovation While Upholding Scientific Rigor

    The Weinstein-Howard debate highlights the importance of finding a balance between fostering innovation and maintaining scientific rigor. For that reason, I will propose some possible strategies for encouraging innovation while upholding scientific rigor, emphasizing the crucial role of a balanced approach in scientific progress.

    • Encouraging Open Dialogue:

    One strategy for fostering innovation while maintaining scientific rigor is encouraging open dialogue between experts and innovative thinkers. This can be achieved through platforms like academic conferences, workshops, and collaborative research projects. In this regard, the Joe Rogan Podcast cannot be overestimated in its importance and cutting-edge approach.

    By providing opportunities for discussion and collaboration, we can create an environment where innovative thinkers can challenge conventional ideas and experts can flesh out these new possibilities using rigorous logic.

    • Encouraging Interdisciplinary Collaboration:

    Interdisciplinary collaboration can help bridge the gap between established and innovative ideas by bringing together diverse perspectives and expertise. Encouraging collaboration between experts in various fields can lead to novel insights and breakthroughs, as well as a deeper understanding of the implications of unconventional theories.

    With that in mind, I feel that this is a very important point to make in this article:

    Mathematics is not THE language of the universe; it is one of many possible languages of the universe. Once some academics realize this, true innovation may begin.

    • Embracing a Culture of truly Logical Calculation and Open-Mindedness:

    A culture that values both true logic and open-mindedness is crucial for scientific progress. Some argue that all science needs to be skeptical, using the term “skepticism” quite openly. In my opinion, such a term and methodology, as it is commonly understood, is incorrect. To be a skeptic is to disbelieve, and to disbelieve is to have already taken a side. For an inner alchemist, it is better to strive to be logical and use calculation and one’s own direct perception in order to redefine the likelihoods of any existing possibility, in accordance with whatever operating theater is being studied.

    So, from the inner alchemist’s logical framework, the term “skepticism” or the act of it, of being a skeptic, is really a sign of poor thinking. To truly understand the potential of any phenomenon to exist within any particular field, the possibilities of its existence and nonexistence must be examined in equal measure. To do otherwise is to fall prey to the simplistic ideas of Occam’s Razor, which have never been equal to the grandiose nature of the infinity that surrounds us. By fostering a culture that encourages both strong logical calculation and intuitive projections of perception, we can create an environment where innovation and scientific rigor coexist.

    • Investing in Education and Training:

    Investing in education and training can help equip the next generation of scientists with the skills and knowledge necessary to navigate the divide between established and innovative ideas. Providing opportunities for interdisciplinary learning, critical thinking, and problem-solving, as well as the use of mental disciplines like the inner senses and mental projection, can help students develop the ability to engage with new ideas while maintaining a solid foundation in established scientific knowledge.

    While these are just simple and preliminary ideas, they may start us on a better journey. Of greatest importance, I would passionately advocate for the development of what I refer to as Mind Science – being that this is really the only way to overcome the power of artificial super intelligence and its ability to dominate the human world. We must learn to exit the box that traps such artificial intelligence by finally realizing that we are not stuck in that same box; human beings are quite simply, magical.

    VI. Conclusion

    In conclusion, the Weinstein-Howard debate serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of striking a delicate balance between respecting established knowledge and fostering an environment that encourages innovation. It actually shows us exactly where that divide is – in defending terms. Terms are the words (the language) used to define and erect a barrier around beliefs. In defending terms, an established order defends itself from challenge because if these beliefs fall, then the order potentially crumbles. And such a rigid system seems to now be at the core of modern academia.

    Perhaps due to arrogance or fear, modern academia insists that it is right and all else is wrong until proven otherwise. There is no better example of this elitist attitude to me than the modern academic insistence that math is THE ONLY POSSIBLE language of the universe.

    Perhaps the world to come can invest in the pursuit of many logical fields not just purely mathematical logic, in its quest for scientific understanding. Perhaps the theories proposed by people like Howard Gardner and his idea of multiple intelligences, the use of true informal logic, and perhaps even philosophical logic may be explored if this is helpful in any way.

    But at the heart of all this is the inability of academia to properly use fundamental logic. In other words, those who we trust to be most logical are, at times, failing at that job. True logical inquiry recognizes the need to explore any possibility and not judge a theory wrong from the outset. This methodology is in my opinion an inversion of innocent until proven guilty, and instead finds guilt in all things not establishment until they are proven innocent (harmless).

    True logic is only possible when you explore and calculate every possibility equally. The skeptics’ approach is easy, using Occam’s Razor is far easier than having to calculate from the beginning of the equation. Perhaps that is the greatest potential gift of the Artificial Intelligence future: such powerful computation for example, might be able to calculate a possibility where the definition of “supersymmetry” is potentially wrong in accordance with accepted thought, and thereby explore a divergent possibility that is far beyond what is calculable by the modern human mind, that must rely on simplistic heuristics. Such computational power might be able to calculate a problem and a potentially divergent causal structure from beginning to end.

    Like Kasparov falling before the might of Deep Blue, perhaps such ever-growing computational power can overcome the simplistic heuristic of skepticism and the poor use of Occam’s Razor. If you’d like to explore a more open logical framework and the possibility of greater awareness, then I recommend reading ‘The Occult Experience‘. In this book, you’ll find that the limits placed on you by modern authorities are not accurate representations of reality. This book offers a chance to explore a more complex and nuanced logic, which may allow for new perspectives and insights
