  • Perfect Randomness: Infinity and Beyond

    Perfect Randomness: Infinity and Beyond

    Question:

    At last, here we are. I’ve been grappling with this issue for several years now, and yet a solution has continued to elude me. You mentioned that you used a PRNG (Pseudo-Random Number Generator) for this psychic quiz. But that’s where the real issue lies! Why opt for a PRNG instead of a TRNG (True Random Number Generator), like a quantum-based one? The thing is, a PRNG doesn’t generate truly random numbers. A computer can’t be programmed to act randomly because the nature of programming itself is the opposite of randomness. We, as humans, often believe we can make random choices or generate random numbers with our minds. But I seriously doubt that. Every thought we have is a product of the brain’s prior states, meaning it’s entirely deterministic and shaped by reward or punishment mechanisms. This fundamentally challenges the concept of free will.

    On the other hand, quantum computers may have the potential to generate truly random numbers, but even then, we might simply lack the capacity to understand the deeper processes at work—possibly in other dimensions. It would be incredibly valuable if you explored free will through this perspective, as it could help resolve many of the ambiguities surrounding the topic. If anyone can tackle this question, it’s you. I’ve searched far and wide, but no one is addressing it. No one is even asking! It’s driving me crazy. Thank you for taking the time to consider my thoughts.

    Answer:

    Well, I certainly can understand why you would be grappling with this for years – it’s an incredibly difficult question. I’m not sure if I could answer it, and I’m definitely not a mathematician of any kind. However, perhaps the point of view of an inner alchemist might help you see different angles that might help.
    There is a lot to unpack here, and we may as well start with the aspects of it that I am least expert in, as these may eventually lead us to conclusions that are helpful in the long run.

    Therefore, I could start by saying that I’m not skilled enough to use anything but JavaScript to create this test. As such, I must rely on the PRNG (Pseudo-random Number Generator). More talented people might include some kind of program that captures mouse events as a way to generate randomness. However, I’m not that skilled as a programmer. I don’t have access to a Quantum Computer, so I can’t use that method. Additionally, some experts may suggest using external sources of entropy for true random number generation, such as atmospheric noise or radioactive decay. However, these options are beyond my capabilities, so we’re left with a relatively simple test.
    Nevertheless, a test like this one is actually far more complex than might be suspected on many levels. This is because the randomness generated by PRNG systems is sufficient to allow us to explore the nature of our intuition and the incalculability of extrasensory perceptions.

    This test can enable the human mind to focus beyond the limitations imposed by the conscious-self, thereby reviving latent abilities as long as the individual believes that such abilities are possible. The expanded human mind is incredibly capable, perceiving far more than modern science suspects. The expanded self is not bound by deterministic probabilities unless it believes in them.

    From the perspective of inner alchemy, science has much to learn about the true nature of reality and the potential within the human self. A test like this one, approached positively, can initiate a constructive journey as long as it’s not taken too seriously.

    Randomness and Free Will
    In order to try to describe this perspective better, let me begin with randomness. Understanding and perceiving the limits of randomness are an incredibly important aspect in understanding the limits and the possibilities of the individual, and as you have quite astutely suspected, at least from an inner alchemy point of view, randomness and Free Will are indeed connected. But here at this very beginning, certain inevitable paradoxes are almost immediately brought into play, and these are paradoxes that the conscious-self must always grapple with because of its very limited awareness and cognition. The conscious-self has so many limits that it is amazing how much it is not able to perceive and being so limited in its scope, the words that we use to communicate, being that we are a conscious-self communicating with another conscious-self, are incredibly limited as well and not up to describing perfect randomness, which in the end equates with infinity.
    So, due to the incredible limits of the conscious-self, paradoxes are the only way that the conscious-self can understand the infinity, the perfect randomness, from where its free will springs. For that reason, there is a bit of a dictum in sorcery which states that all true magic, all true knowing, is and must be a paradox. From the point of view of the conscious-self, all true knowing and true magical action are in essence a Catch-22, tangles and knots worthy of Loki; a condition where reason becomes jumbled and circular.

    How is this possible?
    From the higher limits available to a seer, a seer sees that randomness is an issue of complexity, and a human being can only understand so much complexity.

    As you’ve noted in your question, there are different levels of randomness and therefore there are different levels of complexity. As human beings, we might be able to understand a certain level of randomness intellectually. As seers, we might even be able to perceive an incredible level of randomness (complexity) that is far beyond anything that could be known intellectually. But even the incredibly expanded range of the seer is not enough to understand perfect randomness (infinity); some seers may be able to perceive perfect randomness in quick glimpses, but not understand it. This means that a seer can know vastness beyond measure but ultimately, they don’t know how they know what they know.

    But let me back up a bit. As I said, this is a difficult topic, and I must take many angles in trying to explain. So, randomness is an issue of complexity. And since complexity in the human world is subjective to some degree, then truly defining randomness becomes very difficult. It is even the case that randomness in a sense, like everything else in the human world, is a commodity, a way to achieve control and influence over others.
    Randomness in a sense is the key to everything, so what a staggering question indeed.

    What does, randomness is the key to everything mean?
    It means that randomness is the measure of awareness. The less developed awareness sees randomness everywhere, while more developed awareness begins to realize that randomness is an illusion to some degree. The average person (someone who only has access to the conscious mind that we referred to as waking reality, which I refer to as the conscious-self) is only aware of a relatively small amount of things. According to psychologist George Miller, Miller’s magic number says that on average a person can hold about seven items in their working memory. That means that at any point in time, the conscious-self can only deal with (about) seven items at a time, so even using general inference, the average person’s awareness of complexity is very small.
    This means that for it, randomness is everywhere, and aside from developing a strong logical mind that can hopefully create more complex mental models, the world for the average mind is in a sense quite random. In order to deal with that randomness, the conscious-self has created magic, religion, and its latest attempt at overcoming its sense of powerlessness, science.
    There are many ways to increase mental complexity; increase awareness. The current focus is on external contraptions. And I suppose there is a certain kind of egalitarian quality to this latest theology, in that as long as you can afford it, you can access thinking machines that can help you deal with larger amounts of data and thereby increasing your power.
    The problem with external machines though is that they help to increase external control but they do nothing to help the average person deal with the revelations of that expanded awareness. In the extreme they can make you hard and powerful on the outside, but soft and brittle on the inside. You then have all of the problems of the modern world with all of its decay and injustice.

    The seer’s perspective
    The way of inner alchemy, on the other hand, at least in my opinion, fosters a far more balanced growth in the individual. It demands a pattern of interaction that enables the individual to tackle problems of randomness by moving deeper within, rather than simply moving without.

    To achieve this, it begins with the individual’s starting point: the conscious-self. Exploration of the conscious-self soon reveals that this waking self, which holds dominion over everything in the modern world, is quite limited.

    By moving deeper within, the inner alchemist begins to explore realities that are denied those who are completely focused on the conscious-self and solely focused on outer physical exertion and power. This does not mean that the outer reality is completely abandoned; instead, a balance is achieved over time that allows the expanded self to realize that all external action and creation has its origins in an inner world beyond the physical senses and the machinations of the conscious-self.

    Randomness is explored directly, without attempting to create contraptions that desperately try to simulate perfect randomness. Infinity is explored directly, without trying to create contraption after contraption to understand the limits of space-time. Instead, the inner alchemist delves deep within and begins to use sensory mechanisms that are far beyond the physical senses relied upon by the conscious-self to give meaning and non-random stability to existence.

    Using those inner senses and inner motion, seers and sorcerers discover an incredible realm of existence so vast and glorious that they have no other recourse but to evolve or perish. Since they are not separated from direct perception by contraptions, this new expanded awareness demands that they confront this new knowledge now available to them and integrate it into their inventory as human beings.

    From that inner perception that we may call seeing, they face infinity directly; they face perfect randomness directly. In doing so, they realize that infinity, or what I have termed perfect randomness in this article, is composed of rings or layers, one stacked on top of the other like the many layers of an onion. Each one of these rings is like a prison, like walls around an individual.

    The first major ring is around the conscious-self and within that ring, the limits of the individual are very severe. From within that small ring, everything is as simple as simplicity can be if that person confines themselves within that ring and fully engages with it without questioning anything else. Within such confines, they can live a relatively cozy life where everything seems to have a straightforward answer. Simple physical mechanical laws prevail, and the relative power of that person within the confines of that prison is directly related to their understanding of those simplistic mechanical laws. Whether it is piling stone on stone, creating a lever, building a bridge, or assembling a computer, all “relatively” simplistic classical mechanical power and reality reside within that first ring.

    [It is certainly true that there has been an increasing complexity within humanity, with the development of quantum mechanics being a notable example. However, for the sake of this article, we will stick to basic interpretations and perhaps discuss the nature of human evolution at another time.]

    The knowing and implementation of those mechanical laws demands internal work to some degree. A thinker must think, and that thinking happens on the inside; with some individuals doing more thinking than others. So even within the first major ring of the conscious-self, there are rings within rings. There is also a leeway between rings that allows an individual to bypass certain linear expansions of awareness. I am making general statements here in order to make an overall point.
    What I am trying to say is that the perception of randomness is inextricably linked to awareness, which can be viewed as a ring – a prison. For those bound within the ring of the conscious-self, perfect randomness can be nothing but a paradox. There is no possible way for the conscious-self to truly comprehend the paradox of complete randomness. To think of it as anything other than a paradox can potentially drive an individual to madness.

    Within the prison of the conscious-self, there is no means to describe perfect randomness; there is no means to describe infinity. While we could employ symbols and mathematical equations to attempt to capture its essence, such symbols and equations are mere abstractions on a page – they are not the experience itself. And because they are not a direct perception of perfect randomness, they will never be able to satiate the angst that an individual feels as they gaze up at infinity.
    Infinity cannot be explained in words. Perfect randomness cannot be explained or even adequately described using words. At best, infinity must be a paradox, a joke, one of Loki’s knots that begins and ends in nowhere, because if it were to end somewhere it would negate itself.
    Free will is real and it is the right of every individual. The source of that spontaneity and the source of that right to choose comes from that perfect randomness which could also be termed infinity or All-That-is.
    You argue that free will is impossible because everything we do stems from prior states, but this only assumes that prior states are complete and finished. From the inner alchemist’s perspective, however, as they ‘see’ what the conscious-self calls the past, they perceive that the past is not complete or finished once the conscious-self is no longer aware of it. Instead, they see that the past is developing, evolving, changing, and continuing – just like the present and future. Nothing ever stops expanding or evolving; the conscious-self simply ceases to be aware of those continually unfolding realities.

    This means that prior states are spontaneously expanding now, perpetually sprouting and radiating from an infinity point that serves as the source of all existence, including what the conscious-self calls the past, present, and future.

    Free will is still possible for even the individual trapped within the most restrictive boundaries created by the conscious-self. Inner aspects of that individual that are not bound by these prisons continually provide information through impulses, dreams, and synchronistic opportunity points, allowing them to freely choose between the best and worst path. Even the Archon, driven by its insatiable need for control, is used as a catalyst by this brilliant infinity point to bring about the potential for even greater and freely chosen possibilities. But for an individual to see the dictates of the Spirit they must expand their awareness beyond the limits of the conscious-self, and that is a choice; it is part of free will.

    These freely chosen possibilities can then guide the individual towards their own unique value fulfillment when a certain free choice is made. And on a collective scale, although each person has the option to evolve in their own direction, the natural momentum of free will ultimately leads human beings toward the expansion of their individual awareness. As they begin to come to terms with greater and greater versions of what perfect randomness means, they move closer to realizing their true potential.
    Regardless of whether they choose to pursue the path of outer mechanics or inner motion, the individual begins to comprehend the intricacy of their own reality. They begin to understand their former limitations and naturally seek to transcend the bounds of past constraints. In the pursuit of perfect randomness, which ultimately amounts to the pursuit of infinity, which in turn represents the pursuit of traversing beyond our planet, humanity has followed various paths.

    In this latest chapter of our collective reality, we find ourselves at the threshold of quantum mechanics and interstellar travel. For those who choose to follow the current path that we are on, certain evolutionary leaps must be chosen freely by the individual; these free choices will then precipitate that individual’s evolution until a critical number of individuals evolve (change), when that happens humanity as a whole will undergo mass evolution (collective change).

    In the exploration of perfect randomness, humanity strives for infinity. In humanity’s quest for this brilliant infinity point, humanity searches for God, seeks God.

  • Zener Psychic Test

    Welcome to my interactive Zener card test, inspired by the important ESP research conducted by J.B. Rhine in the 1930s. This straightforward experiment will give you a chance to explore your own abilities related to extrasensory perception. As you take part, you’ll engage with a method that has interested both scientists and everyday people, allowing you to investigate what the mind can do beyond normal senses. Join me as we look into the potential of human perception!

     
     

    Here’s how it works:

    You’ll be presented with a series of 25 hidden Zener cards, each featuring one of five symbols: a circle, a plus sign, a square, a star, or wavy lines. Your task is to use your intuition to guess which symbol is on each card before it’s revealed.

    To play, simply click on the symbol you believe is hidden on the current card. Once you’ve made your choice, the card will flip, revealing whether you guessed correctly. The cards are randomly shuffled by the program, ensuring as fair and unbiased a test as I can make it using PRNG random generators.

    After you’ve gone through all 25 cards, you’ll receive your score along with an interpretation of your potential psychic abilities. In Rhine’s original experiments, guessing 7 out of 25 correctly was considered noteworthy, while 10 or more correct guesses were seen as significant evidence of ESP. Are you ready to test your extrasensory perception? Let’s begin and see if you have hidden psychic talents waiting to be discovered!

  • Where Do Desires Come From: Choosing a Path With Heart

    Where Do Desires Come From: Choosing a Path With Heart

    Question:

    Hi John
    …Without wanting to talk too much about dogmas or beliefs, I am currently struggling with a question about manifestation: Let’s say the dark sea itself is a neutral field and the Archon gives our reality a default programming that is negative (or “evil”), is there in your opinion also a counterpart, let’s call it a divine force, that guides us through these lifetimes? Because I strongly believe in the manifestation powers we have, but I am not sure anymore where my intention to manifest on a personal level actually comes from: Is it from my mind that might as well be a foreign installation or is it from this divine force/inner voice, leading me in the right direction? Because my inner feeling tells me that this reality is a trick, but not a trap. As it feels good to see through the trick, which has had a great impact on my (emotional) energy, I still seem to be at a crossroad now: Should I try to personally engage and try “to change things” for the better or should I “do the work” by mainly living in the present moment and enjoying every (little) thing this experience here has to offer? Because after all, it might be the last time that I am here. I would love to hear your opinion on this.

    Answer:

    This is a very insightful question, and one that you will have great difficulty understanding if you maintain your awareness fixed within the Archonic reality of the conscious-self.

    In answering your question, I need to use words with incredible care because there are many terms possible, and so many terms you’ve been using yourself in this comment, for instance. To weave through them without triggering an Archonic loop—a reflex reaction that brings you down—I must first clarify what these terms mean to you while trying to answer your question.

    Let’s start from the beginning and contemplate the nature of desires. Where do they come from?

    Some might say all desires originate from the Archon, and in a certain way, they would be correct. so,is is so because it is that Archonic current (according to inner alchemy) responsible for the separated self—the ego, the conscious-self—that most people understand as being “I am.” Then they may argue that it’s this ‘I’ that desires.

    But does this mean those impulses and conglomerations of value fulfillment creating desire have only the Archon as its source?

    Well, the answer to that is no. While value fulfillment may be seen as a highly individual thing and therefore a part of the Archonic cloud, the underlying motion or origin of those desires comes from the creative force itself, the divine All-That-Is.

    We have an impetus for fulfillment that has been further refined to include individual value fulfillment, thanks to the individuality given to us by the Archonic current. And it’s in the mixing of individuality with the divine need for fulfillment that is, ultimately, the true source of desire in modern humanity.

    From here, we get a basic polarity—a simplification:

    Some might say that the only way to find enlightenment and peace—equated with goodness—is through letting go of all desires. However, this is an impossibility because there’s a natural drive within humanity for fulfillment. You can’t separate the person from the spirit, and the spirit demands fulfillment.

    Others might argue that the only true path to actual enlightenment and power lies in fulfilling all desires, embracing them no matter what they are. But there’s an inherent problem here: what they mean by ‘desires’ may not be the expansion demanded by the spirit but just the endless glorification of the conscious-self—the ego.

    And since the conscious-self is a creation of the Archon (as explained in The Magnum Opus Trilogy), such glorification of the ego alone is usually a dead-end street—a deadly trap.

    These are, of course, interpretations of the two major philosophical polarities within humanity from the perspective of an inner alchemist. Ultimately, you must pursue your own truths. But since you asked for my opinion, I include them here.

    So, what is the answer?

    For inner alchemists, the answer lies in the development of greater awareness.

    This may sound mystical and metaphysical, but it’s actually quite simple. We all must start from the beginning, which means becoming more aware of our physical needs and conscious-self, as that is all we know at first.

    To achieve this, we begin by looking at our reflection and following our natural impulses and desires. Starting from the beginning means starting with material power and satisfying physical needs until certain criteria are met physically, thereby creating an impetus for growth beyond physicality.

    As our physical needs are met and our reflection allows us to gain greater awareness of our conscious-self, this expansion under ideal circumstances creates a framework for being that can then take the next step in its evolution. Once physical desires are appeased to a balanced extent, and the self becomes conscious enough to question the nature of its own existence, the desire for a greater knowing beyond the physical naturally manifests. The Spirit begins to knock.

    This steppingstone is crucial because it means the individual is no longer solely interested in satisfying physical desires; instead, they want to satisfy more complex spiritual ones. Once this step has been achieved, there is no going back – the only way forward to true happiness and freedom is by moving forward, which requires exploring desires related to movement beyond the conscious-self.

    Those who are stuck satisfying only physical desires are literally trapped in a small cage. Some might call this cage of the conscious-self comfortable, especially if one is rich and socially powerful, with a great view from a luxurious location, having successfully satisfied all material needs. However, in the end, this is a small cage that will only lead to greater frustration and sickness.

    Regardless of how beautiful your room, delicious your food, or easy it is to get around, you will always be stuck in that room. Such a prison can only cause sickness, which will then lead to greater forms of debauchery, increasing the cycle of sickness. The only way forward is to pursue desires that lead beyond the conscious-self – those we could call spiritual.

    So, what’s the next step?
    The next step, in a sense, becomes complexity. What I mean by this is that the fulfillment of material desires (wealth, for example) should allow the individual to experience some relief and distance from the raw nature of physical survival and the stupidity of humanity, as defined by Bonhoeffer and Avital Ronell.

    Once this window of opportunity is achieved, the natural self is instantly inclined to pursue desires of the Spirit.

    That should ultimately be the limit of the pursuit of desire by the conscious-self alone. Anything beyond that is simply self-important glorification and simplistic ego gratification – in essence, stupidity as defined by the authors mentioned.

    However, the pursuit of this conscious-self-based desire matrix is highly complex, allowing the individual to come to terms with some of their own limitations as a conscious-self. Left alone, the desires of the natural self will innately lead to greater expansions of being.

    Once there is relief from the rigors of physical reality and once the individual has hopefully used their experiences and power gained thus far to understand its own limits, the pursuit of a greater reality becomes important.

    Now, the individual must use the powers they have gained thus far (such as the development of a strong intent, for example) and utilize this gained power to pursue greater forms of wealth. This wealth could be termed spiritual wealth or seen as greater power to control more potent aspects of reality beyond physical machinations and demarcations.

    This is just one particular set of possibilities that aligns with the current of inner alchemy. There are many roads that can be taken, and the individual has complete freedom from that divine spark within them to follow their own way.

    What does all this mean for you as an individual?

    It means that you must begin at your own unique starting point and trust in your natural self. If you are just beginning your journey, I would say that the pursuit of material wealth will eventually lead you to even bigger questions. Therefore, I recommend pursuing your desires naturally, but also maintaining sobriety and discernment so that when different desires emerge within you, you don’t ignore them but instead pursue them as well.

    Every person desires material things, but they also crave a deeper connection with the spirit. With sobriety and discernment, when the spirit calls, you are able to hear that calling and use your natural desire and the growing power of your intent to pursue that spiritual path, just as you have pursued the material one.

    However, the nature of your question suggests that you are already beyond this purely material focus and are deeply interested in discovering the true nature of reality beyond the confines of the conscious-self. In your case, interestingly, I can only reiterate what I’ve just advised: to follow your natural desires, which you have done.

    You’re questioning the essence of these physical drives and asking yourself if there’s more. You’ve taken it upon yourself to study, and through that natural desire, you’ve gained the impetus to comment on this site in search of more refined answers

    It is my desire to assist you in fulfilling some of your desires, and it is my hope that this clarification from my individual perspective will be helpful.

    Now, what I am about to share is based on the view of inner alchemy, and since you have asked for my response, I will provide it. However, please remember that in all things, you must pursue your own truths in your own way. By doing so, you will find the current that suits you best, as long as you remain sober, honest, and discerning about where the inner divinity within you wants to guide you.

    From an inner alchemy perspective, this reality can be seen as a trick, and thus, it is a trap. The purpose of a trick is to deceive, and in the best of circumstances, to entertain.

    This reality is based on an imposition referred to by inner alchemy as the conscious-self. Being bound to that self, either because the trick is too vivid or difficult to solve, means that you are trapped. The vast majority of humanity, therefore, is not simply enjoying an entertaining trick; they are literally trapped.

    Inner alchemists strive to do everything in their power to first realize and then truly believe deep down in their marrow that this reality is indeed a trick and, therefore, a trap for the unwary.

    There is a need to deeply believe in the nature of this trap because if total knowing is not achieved, it is easy to slide back into the desire to simply think of the trap as fun entertainment. This reminds me of the scene in The Matrix where Cypher makes a deal with Agent Smith to return to the simulation so that he can enjoy his delicious steaks guilt-free.

    What will you do?

    This is your choice and your choice alone. There are more than one way to tackle this challenge. If you’ve read the second book in the Magnum Opus Trilogy, “The Way of the Projectionist,” then you know that inner alchemists believe in the concept of “eat your cake and have it too.” For them, there is the possibility of enjoying everything in this world, embracing this trick, and in doing so, they create the complexity necessary within themselves to be able to see beyond the boundaries of their conscious-self.

    By understanding and uniting with other aspects of their total self – namely, the ghost in the machine and the unconscious – they finally realize that the taste of a steak in the simulation is a bland nothing compared to all that’s available beyond the three-dimensional cage. In this sense, you could say that inner alchemists are hedonists of unparalleled taste, having exceeded the paltry sensations possible within this little trick reality.

    All roads lead to heaven as long as the practitioner engages in immaculate energetic action. What road will you choose?

    In other words, to “desire” and “do the work” are the same thing. Even if you define doing the work as austere practice and frugality, it is your desire to pursue this path – so you’re engaging in the act of desiring. From that intentional space, you’ll create your own kind of steak to eat, a bland hard steak, but your own steak nevertheless.

    Inner alchemists aim to choose a path with gusto, one that puts a spring in their step. If, and only if, you’re seeking my advice – since all things are equal in the end – I would suggest a path with gusto. Whatever you choose, as long as it’s energetically immaculate, it will get you where you want to go.

  • 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.

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.
