  1. Ok cancel what I wrote in my last comment about fear! 😂 I see now it is a specific tactic springing from a larger theme, yes yes.

    Do you feel that the fact that the term “Overton Window” itself is being used more and coming into more common parlance is itself a sign that people are waking up a little bit to the manipulation tactics being used?

    1. Yes, I definitely think that it’s a good thing that people are beginning to wake up to some things. But there are positives and negatives to everything, and one of the negatives is that with the amount of information, there is also the possibility of manipulating aspects of that information, or rebranding the narrative around certain things. The Overton window doesn’t just define what is acceptable, but it also makes things routinary, ordinary, reasonable. In that way it white-washes the true power of things by making them quaint and known, which then leads people to believe that it is… forgettable.
      It is my hope that people wake up to that imposed routine, that they wake up to their lives. In the end that’s the only thing that really matters.

  2. I’m sorry if this isn’t exactly relevant to this article but I decided to make this post because it’s been brewing in my mind for a while and I really wanted to know your answer. In your guide to the creation of the Magnum Opus and its subsequent books on defying death you mention an inevitable point wherein one breaks away from the current time-space continuum and bursts out into the great Out There. This is considered a permanent separation and one that you cannot come back from in any way. This is considered merely one part of the journey toward becoming a multidimensional oneness exploring the totality of what exists beyond this limited world.
    I am deeply entrenched within this world and it is my highest desire to make it the closest thing I can imagine to perfection. I want to free the whole of Mankind from its sorry and quite frankly pathetic state. I do not want to leave this world behind, to only establish agency for myself. If I work toward the creation of my Philosopher’s Stone and actualize it as a true thing within me, will I be forced to give up my ambitions as a condition of its creation, flying off into god knows what forever? Is creating the Philosopher’s Stone thus antithetical toward the actualization of my goals?
    I would much rather live as an immortal on this Earth driving Humanity toward a brighter future than leave behind the suffering masses to pursue my own fun elsewhere. I want everyone to be free.

    1. That is a wonderful question Obi-Wan, and I do believe that I will have to create an article to fully answer this in any proper way, at least give my perspective on it, not an answer per se.
      In the meantime I could say that all is possible and there are indeed many who have followed such a path and they did so following and using techniques very similar to the ones that I outlined in the Magnum opus trilogy. But there’s more to this, philosophies and demarcations, so I will see what I can do about creating an article for this as soon as I can. In other words, stay tuned.

  3. Hello John, I have read your book on overcoming the archon through alchemy and create a servitor harness the power of thought forms. and I am adhering to the techniques. yet, something is not sitting with me straight. sometimes I feel doubt and worry. Sometimes, i even worry if I do it right. like the breathing in polarity. and I worry about the results. I worry about this path. I have sent a servitor to get me something and is the first time I use this method. idk how many subjects I have read on these matter (manifestation, magick etc). but it is the first time I hear that you need “extra” energy to manifest. I usually have gotten low to nothing results from other books on manifestation. I just want peace and also my wishes in this world. how do I not suffer during the waiting game. How can I prove it finally works. do you recommend reading other books, or not spreading myself too thin. I just want to prove once and for all that it works manifestation wise. Is there a way to do so. forgive my rant.

    1. There is indeed a great link between a person’s energy and what they can manifest, and how long such manifestations might require. The reason why many don’t talk about this is because it may shatters some dreams and hopes for an easy answer. I will start off by saying that worry itself drains energy, so try not to worry, try not to take things so seriously and detach. This ability alone increases energy.
      As far as the techniques and energy absorption, if they don’t feel right to you, then you should do more research and find something that feels better, that feels like it’s working. Energetic absorption should feel like you are pulling something in, you should feel somewhat energized. If you’re not, then I suggest looking at other techniques, for example you might want to look into Asian traditions, like qigong to get other ideas on techniques and possibilities.
      if you have access to it, then I would highly suggest the, create a servitor Journal. This is a very in-depth book that covers many topics that are often not covered and are incredibly important. For example you must examine beliefs, as these are quite literally the structures upon which you create your reality, and the book in question tries to have you do that. Also, synchronicities and omens play a very big deal in the manifestation game, so knowing how all of this works is very important. If you don’t have access to the book, then you should find a number of good articles on this site that can help, just use the keyword function to look up beliefs, and synchronicities.
