> This my friends, is not the first reset done by the elites. I take it that they wait for a certain breaking point in society.

The above book describes the timeframe they operate on; although basically it's astrological. They believe that only the periods of time which correspond with certain astrological signs should be permitted to have continuous memory of each other, while there needs to be some sort of cataclysm seperating others, where the memory of the preceding time is wiped out.

They are also very strong evolutionists, and they don't tolerate stragglers. This is part of the reason why they generally do not tolerate the existence of indigenous groups, because they think that the whole of humanity should keep up with whatever they think its' current technological/cultural scenario should be, and they usually kill anyone who they consider regressive. They don't believe in dynamic equilibrium or homeostasis. They think that everything is continually moving forward, and that nothing should be permitted to ever remain the same, even if genuine stability is found.

Judaism is a major exception to this rule; it is an Aries age religion, which has operated continually for three astrological ages, and is now entering a fourth, Aquarius. Presumably the exception is tolerated due to the power held by some of its' adherents, although it probably also had something to do with the motivation behind the Holocaust as well.

This is also why I do not condone evolution as an idea, because I know who it comes from, and what its' social consequences are.

some things are best to be clued into and let one discover for oneself. i've read a bunch of books & authors (still am reading) from tool's recommended reading material, like Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell and Bob Frissell You Are a Spiritual Being Having a Human Experience. I even admit to owning a Drunvalo Melchizedek book on the Flower of Life which reads like a New Age Bullshit Hippy Dippy Textbook on advanced circle drawing with a compass. I like the idea on the Flower of Life but Melchizedek is waayy out there. Maynard talked about that briefly in his book. I finally got around to John Crowley's Aegypt recently, which is actually a series of 4 novels, very good and I highly recommend it. Crowley is such a great writer and there's times you can clearly see influence in mjk's lyrics. There's a book called The Secret History of the World that covers these subjects through human history, if you are curious it's a great resource.

Thanks! I really appreciate your reply. I'm just a couple chapters away from finishing Secret History of the World and I most definitely will dive into Illuminatus Trilogy as soon as I'm done!

From the little I just read on Discordianism, I'm pretty fascinated. You may have just converted me :) Seems like a religion based on paradox, which really interests me. I may be understanding it completely wrong, but that gives me an excuse to check out Principia Discordia!

the 101st has already floated my favorite nonfiction book. So I'm going to go out on a limb and give you something, uh... unofficial. Whether it is true or not is so far beyond what I can answer even the internet could not exaggerate it enough. BUT, it's fascinating.

What you're describing is the esoteric history of the world. Check out this book (link below) it's worth a read. It basically says the same story you wrote above. It's pretty cool and give an alternative perspective on our concept of religion.

Idealism and Materialism are differing stances on Mind and Matter. Materialism is actually not respected among philosopher, mainly because it does not make rational sense(there is a very strong argument for idealism and no argument for Materialism, pure logic suggests that there is a world where concepts in our world are real) Most every modern institution ascribes to materialism, because for example science does not believe in a spiritual dimension and imagination is not an organ of perception but a funcion of chemical processes in the brain. Spiritual means you believe in spirits and Spirit. Spiritualists are almost unilaterally idealistic which means that they believe that God exists and also there is a spirit world and a hierarchy of spiritual dimensions and beings from God to Earth. This is a good book to read if you want an idea of an idealistic worldview. You are using a hegelian corruption of the pure Philosophical concepts. Most religions are opposed to Materialism. For example the Satan of christianity is modified from a former God of Materialism and Time also called Kronos. I can't explain this all in a reddit comment but Satanism for example confirms this idea. Satanists worship the physical world, dont believe in ethics, are generally hedonistic and speak about the relativity of truth. The sophists too, believed in the relativity of truth, a markedly materialistic concept.

Have you read that? How is it.

You're probably right, but the image of Newton doing rituals to get in touch with multi-dimensional beings to gain knowledge is pretty seductive to me. A sicnece man, or THE Science Man, practicing magic is an alluring image.

John Dee comes up a lot in this: https://www.amazon.com/Secret-History-World-Mark-Booth/dp/1590201620


I don't know about 'magic', but the practice of alchemy is that of self-improvement and freedom from controlling dogma and the current limits of humanity. There's no doubting that newton was brilliant, as was John Dee. I would say a safer bet is to study math over magic.

I can only relate to you what I've experienced and realized and only hope that it can offer something to your journey. What I tell you is very subjective.

When I said a universalist approach towards religion and spirituality, I mean that doctrine and creed do not hold me back from the quest for knowledge (Truth is after all an endless pursuit of higher knowledge and realization). If I read a book on philosophy or spirituality, credibility, authority, and citation are not as important as the message the author is trying to convey. After all, the former three are principles of the material sciences which is only a limited lens into which we can peer into spiritual reality. Science cannot measure or describe a soul or what happens to you after you die (maybe how your body decays but that assumes that you are only your body and not a soul or a spirit).

Even though I lament on how overly scientific modern religion is, I also go on to say that I treat religion and beliefs like education. I constantly seek knowledge or experiences that will challenge and expand my beliefs and faith in a way similar to studying and passing class examinations in order to move to the next stage of learning. Nothing is lost in what I learned, it is only expanded upon (we can learn from our mistakes or wrong beliefs). I rely on logic and reasoning (just like the scientific method) to guide myself through all things spiritual and religious just like all things scientific and all things of immediate concern (like budgeting, relationships, pros and cons of something...). I'm being consistent is what I'm saying.

I highly recommend The Secret History of the World by Mark Booth as a good read to really change your perspective on the world and life. It opened my eyes to a whole other way of seeing reality.

If you really want something intellectually challenging yet spiritually captivating, the Urantia Book has it all and more.
