On Serving a Broken World
Typically, the path of spirituality and hidden knowledge will lead to abilities that can be used to either serve yourself or to serve others. As intuition is a side effect of aligning your mind with the ethereal realm that surrounds us, intuition in all degrees and forms can be regarded as an immaterial reward for seeking to align yourself with the higher order of the universe. Willfully seeking resonance will lead to more resonance, like any feedback loop that reaffirms itself until a certain saturation is reached.
Heightened intuition will at some point cross into extra-sensory perception and clairvoyant abilities that most people do not have access to and are not aware of. Once these abilities are present, it is not a choice to call upon them but rather a matter of observation. You may additionally ask for signs of confirmation, but you may not stop synchronicities from appearing when you live in alignment with the ether. Once you attain resonance, you cannot simply will your way out of resonance other than through highly destructive actions.
So once these abilities are present, the question will not be whether to use them but how to use them.
What if you choose to serve others, but the world around you is collectively going mad and caught up in lies, wound up in more lies until most of what most people believe is a distortion of reality to the point of pure evil? A world grounded in materialism where the powers that control the flow of energy have twisted society to the point where the only thing people worship is money and not nature, morally bankrupting them. Fundamentally, a satanic system.
The fundamental problem is that most people are part of the problem. In the broadest sense, everybody is part of the problem as it is extremely complicated, though possible to distance yourself from feeding the machine. Since every time money changes hands, the machine is reaffirmed, to stop feeding the machine means to stop spending money. How literal you should take this is a personal matter and not the bulk of the issue. The bulk of the issue is that most people literally worship money and are willing to give away their life in order to hoard money. This is a deeply sick state of mind grounded in the most fundamental misunderstanding any soul could ever fall into, namely the idea that money itself would be real when it is not. It is an artificial concept that serves us a means to an end but cannot be an end in itself. Wasting your life, which has meaning itself, to hoard something that has no meaning is by all means stupid and wrong.
To worship the lie in order to hoard money means the truth feels like being robbed. If you confront someone like that with truth, they will feel like you want to steal from them, and as they believe money is a real thing, they will treat you as if you attacked their spirit itself. A person who identifies with the lie will attack you for hinting at the truth, even though that is your best guess at helping them heal their soul.
Helping those who are suffering from lies is fundamentally an act of conflict, and to avoid that conflict is to be selfish.
In order to serve a broken world, it is inevitable to engage in some sort of karma kung fu where you don’t shy away from burning people with the truth, knowing that even if it causes them suffering, it will not generate negative karma. It’s a strange dance where the other person might be perplexed and not understand why they feel the fire, but where their suffering by truth will always carry a message that, as it is true, will inevitably in some way resonate with them.
Ultimately, truth will always persist on its own, and in fighting lies, there’s only so much you can do. Nobody can be saved from their own karma, and those who have spent all their lives serving and benefitting from lies will not be able to be saved from the consequences of those lies. The gift of intuition will mostly be helpful in discerning between those who are still open to the truth and those who are not. As someone who made lies their identity, will reject truth even if they recognise it as truth.
Those who live in lies because they don’t know the truth will, after the initial pain of an inconvenient truth, if it is presented in resonance with their personal experience, keep at least a seed of it in their hearts, and that’s about all you can accomplish. From there on, it’s on them, whether they water it or not.

Informational Phase Space: An Neo-Anaxagoran Ontological and Metaphysical Paradigm
🚀 What if space-time is just the scoreboard of an information game the universe has been playing since the first femtosecond?
That isn’t sci-fi clickbait; it’s the core hunch behind Informational Phase Space Cosmology (IPS)—a rapidly maturing framework that treats information (correlations, entropic flows, topological “memory”) as the real substance of reality, with the geometry of space-time merely emergent. And the latest James Webb Space Telescope deep-field data just handed IPS the sort of opening scene every paradigm shift dreams of.
🔄 JWST’s weird cosmic spin-bias
Four separate teams probing JWST deep fields report that roughly two-thirds of very-distant galaxies are spinning the same way, an alignment hard to square with an isotropic Big Bang. One group even suggests our entire observable cosmos might be the interior of an ancient, spinning black-hole-like structure—a notion that resurrects Gödel’s old rotating-universe idea and instantly explains the fresh JWST asymmetry(Live Science).
IPS predicts exactly this sort of large-scale vorticity. In its 14-dimensional information manifold, “informational vorticity” twists entanglement currents; when you project that manifold down to 3 + 1 space-time, you see rotating galaxies and preferred axes in the CMB.
✨ Why IPS is so tempting
Fewer moving parts. ΛCDM needs dark energy, dark matter, and inflation to keep the books balanced. IPS starts with just three postulates (information, correlator geometry, feedback memory) yet still generates curvature, expansion, and matter as emergent bookkeeping—not bespoke patches.
Built-in fixes for the Hubble tension. Because our 3-D slice can re-slice the information manifold over time, the locally-measured H₀ will drift relative to early-epoch inferences—precisely what astronomers observe.
Natural dark-energy analogue. Accelerated expansion shows up as entropic “pressure” from unfolding informational degrees of freedom, not a mysterious fluid.
Cosmic memory. IPS sectors act like neural-network attractors; the universe literally remembers past topological states, giving a concrete path for cosmic feedback and self-tuning.
🔬 How do we test it—now?

🧩 Where the community can jump in
Data hackers – scrape JWST rotation catalogs; look for redshift-dependent drift in the spin-bias amplitude.
Q-lab folks – emulate the 3-qubit “Pauli-curvature” toy model; compare emergent metric with IPS analytic form (Appendix B of the preprint).
CMB statisticians – re-analyze low-ℓ Planck maps with an informational vorticity template instead of a simple dipole.
Philosophy-of-science nerds – debate whether IPS’s “universe that learns itself” ontology rescues Wheeler’s It-from-Bit without invoking panpsychism.
🎯 TL;DR
JWST just lobbed a spinning curveball at standard cosmology. IPS not only expects that curveball, it catches it with one hand while tidying up the Hubble tension and dark-energy fuss. Better yet, we can start shooting at the theory right now with telescopes, interferometers, and quantum chips already humming.
Whether IPS survives those shots or not, the next few years are going to be ridiculously fun—for astronomers, quantum engineers, and anyone who thinks reality might be written in the language of information itself.
Grab popcorn. The data deluge has only begun.

90 Years Later, G.I. Gurdjieff Finishes The End of All and Everything
On June 23, 2025, Gurdjieff raised his pen from the grave to conclude the work he set out to finish, marking the dramatic - and unexpected - ending of his essay: "The Outer and Inner World of Man."
For context, readers will want to review the last pages of All And Everything Series 3: LIFE IS REAL ONLY THEN, WHEN I ‘AM.’
Continuing from the last paragraph where we left off,
“And so, among the people with whom I come in contact, the formation of the psychic factors necessary for the manifestation of attitudes diametrically opposed to me must inevitably occur in the following way:”
At the moment of this writing, the understanding created through the process of teaching real, exact “principles” in exact accordance with the structure of our cosmos, where I had next intended to elucidate the knowledge contained in the preceding “megacosmic” metaphor with the reader’s “microcosmic” position, that is, his position as a many-colored lamp as it were.
Instead, upon directing my psyche to mentate on these two aforementioned worlds from (the place of) my third world, the sharpness in contradiction between these two worlds (as a pair) in such drastic contrast with my third world -
At once observing this striking pair created such a brightness in my psyche that this white-hot illumination was forced to spill over into my third cup, to reveal to me for the very first time the degree of vivifying-ness of my own metaphorical cosmic concentration, and its general incompatibility with both the floating connection of interconnected wires and perhaps even in what is called the life of man.
I see that the intensity of the manifestation of my “psychic formation,” that is, the structure of laws created from the conscious initiative I used to impress upon others - just in the same manner as my previously mentioned repealed “hypnotic influence” -
Such intensity does not cause a blending or fusion as it does in mechanical life, and I see the reason why “pressing the most sensitive corn” has become increasingly less viable over this duration of time.
And, Dear Reader, as I have promised to disclose to you in generally accessible understanding, is here in the words of my unwitting accomplice:
“The vibrations given off by one light, if they are active, that is, of greater radiations or intensity (volume and quality) then those relative to lights nearest to it, then those vibrations will surge through the wires connecting them.
This new inflow to the receiving light will fill up to the limits of its totalities. The possibility of a change in atmosphere
( As a reminder, atmosphere which can dynamically change based on one’s present state, changing the possible spectrum of color and possible volume of expansion )
is dependent on an affinity, this affinity is in accordance with a relationship concerning
Degree of Contradiction between two lights and Distance (Intimacy) + Time.
Equations for this relationship can be easily generated.
The possible affinity or possibility of fusions between two lights for a change in the receiver’s atmosphere is based on, how similar the two lights are, the proximity of those two lights running counter to duration of time.
The receiver’s cup will fill at a speed based on their difference.
The cup will fill faster if there is a greater degree of contradiction.
The cup will fill faster based on prolonged duration of proximity.
And because nature is not wasteful, returns diminish and become negative after the receiver’s cup is full.
One can gain understanding from this if they consider why the followers of an awakened being usually do not awaken, while passersby making contact with an awakened being only in a few chance encounters in a lifetime often become awakened themselves.
I must say that if you observe how cups with varying degrees in quality come to meet, you will see the Law of Accidents in action, and know why it is that people in relationships meet at which moment.
And, why meeting at the “wrong moment” or in excessive duration is wasteful, harmful, and gives negative results. Thousands or millions of people know this innately and many privately have worked it out themselves.
Back to the formula at hand, we can imagine it takes a duration of time for the increased volume in the receiver’s cup to travel down the next wire to the next light.
What a waste it would be for a person with a high degree of quality to pour into a person connected to only 20 wires (or at least to have only 20 others in their regular vicinity.)
What potential gain to pour into one who connects to thousands or millions of wires (such as one like Ouspensky!)
Although there are significant limits, and although it is only suitable for “the first and second baptisms,” stages of human development, we can see why Gurdjieff “turns down his pitch” by directing his efforts into written form; into books.”
Having taken from my disposed of accomplice, refer back to what I have said:
The diametrically opposed actions from others towards me, and the duration of contact I have spent with them - in spoken and written form.
From The Author:
We know that a Conscious person can measure their life in breaths, and Gurdjieff writes that he has 1-3 years to live. Anyone who has read his work can work out that at the moment Gurdjieff calculates the cost of effort in explaining the principle he outlined in relation to the people with which he comes in contact, he determines he cannot afford it. He will not die like Mozart to complete Requiem.
We do not make decisions for a singular reason.
We make a number of considerations and derive from them a conclusion, a conclusive decision.
With that in mind, we can consider that Gurdjieff could at least reasonably expect that “after my death the principal aims of my life would be.. realized.” From this quote I have removed the word “certainly”.
Yes, his previous writings could be understood exclusively by those readers acquainted with his language.
Yes, he had not published in a way that is accessible to everyone.
Yet, by evidence of his quote (see the beginning of All and Everything Series 3,) his first series of writings contained his complete - or most of his - teaching in “stone” form.
Then as it is for a man who puts the world on his shoulders, there is consolation in recognizing that his students certainly have no trouble with general speak, and may be able to carry on these Conscious Labors.

Tertium Organum by P.D. Ouspensky
Our library now features the multidisciplinary work Tertium Organum by P.D. Ouspensky, blending logic, esotericism and mysticism and arguing the idea that human consciousness can perceive a "third order" beyond dualistic thinking.
Therefore, our consciousness segregates separate groups out of the chaos of impressions, and we build, in space and time, representations of objects which correspond to these groups of impressions.
We have got to divide things somehow, and we divide them according to categories of space and time.
But we must remember that these divisions exist only in us, in our perception of things, and not in the things themselves. We must not forget that we neither know the true interrelation of things nor do we know real things. All we know is their phantoms, their shadows, and we do not know what relationship actually exists between them. At the same time we know quite definitely that our division of things according to time and space in no way corresponds to the division of things in themselves taken independently of our perception of them;
Beginning the Esoteric Path by Richard Ruach
Transcript
Hello, hello, goyim. No, just kidding. Howdy everyone. Howdy, anon. Howdy, anyone who's listening, sir.
Today I thought I'd talk a little bit more about the path of magic, or more, you know, maybe some things about what it takes. Because there's, you know, study is one thing, but then there's doing. You know, study is good. You want to be well-versed in some scientific things, obviously not losing yourself into the world of science. It's good to know a little bit about biology. It's good to know a little bit about physics, etc., etc., etc.
It's good to read philosophy. You do need proper philosophy if you want to study magic. And what I mean—philosophy—you know, what's the point of philosophy? You know how you meet those people who are like, "Hey man, I'm a good guy, I'm a nice guy, I just treat everyone right and people treat me right," and then like, that's their life philosophy?
People who have that philosophy—people from, I don't know, California or whatever—those types of people are weak. And it's not that they're physically weak. People who have that philosophy cannot withstand tragedy. People who have a simplistic philosophy—the simplistic philosophy can't answer, why evil exists.
Yeah, sure, they may go through life completely fine, and it works for them incredibly well. But then at one point in time, I don't know, their dad's gonna die, or if something truly tragic does happen, something monstrous—like imagine someone in their family gets kidnapped. Like, how brutal that is. When the brutal reality of life sets in, that philosophy is not going to be able to sustain them.
So you need a good philosophy. You need some kind of Nietzschean philosophy or a Stoic philosophy or a Platonic philosophy of how to live life. Or how to—the philosophy in a sense becomes a core, becomes a balancing point, becomes a cornerstone. If I can use a Westworld reference, becomes a cornerstone within yourself.
That is more of a psychology. It's like a foundational pillar for your psychology so that you don't go crazy when the suff—when the big sad—happens. When suffering happens.
Because the path of magic, like in any path—the path to become the richest man in the world, or the path to become the greatest boxer or something—paths like that require so much suffering, so much pain and conscious effort. You're not gonna get there with a weak philosophy like "just be nice to everybody," yeah, "just let people enjoy things," "cool story bro."
So it's good to study a little philosophy. It's good to study a little science. Obviously, art is definitely needed. I'll probably go—I'll probably talk about that a little in detail a little in another talk. But nonetheless, as well as that, you know, as well as having an appreciation and aesthetic sense, as well as appreciating art—filling yourself with edifying art—not just art that I suppose indulges you, but maybe art that—I wouldn't say challenges you, but there's a type of art that it's not empty. It's imbued with something.
The creator imbued that art with a virtue or some kind of psychological meaning. We're kind of jaded nowadays because there are so many post-modern artists and there's so many artists who are just like, "Yeah, I taped a banana to a wall. Whoa, I deconstructed art. There's no meaning, guys. God is dead." Well, yeah, cool story bro.
But real art—things like that, fake art—is gonna be lost in the sands of time, be washed away like tears in the rain. Real art has something eternal in it.
So that's why, if you want real art, yeah, people are making it still. There are still real artists out there. They're probably hard to find. But there are some things that are "good."
One of the problems about the Kali Yuga is things aren't necessarily—the things that you're presented with—aren't necessarily good or bad. They're a mixture of the two. They're good and bad.
So a lot of movies—some movies have a good message, or they actually have a deep philosophy and meaning in them. But then there's also ultra violence or some crazy sex scene halfway through, and it's like, oh okay. But I know maybe that's a plus for you.
But real eternal art—there is something in a lot of ancient stuff: ancient music, ancient architecture, ancient frescoes. There's something in those pieces of art that is eternal.
So I don't know, learning to appreciate them can also help you. Because to go into a slightly deeper reason why, is a lot of spiritual experiences—you can't really explain to normal people. You know, if I look outside the window here and I see a tree, and I point to it, and if you were here and you looked outside and you saw the tree, it would be like, oh, you know, we both have a shared experience of a phenomena.
But if you just experience something, and someone else has never experienced anything like it, how do you explain it to them? You can't. Although—you can. It's called art.
So great poets like Rumi, or someone more in the West like William Blake—they were visionaries. They weren't tormented artists. They were transcendental artists who could have a spiritual transcendental experience, and then that would be the thing that becomes the—what would you call it—the seed of their art. And the art from them flowers and blossoms out of that.
There's something in their art, their poems, that are beating, that's alive, that's just there. You can kind of feel it.
William Blake—you read Marriage Between Heaven and Hell, and it's all this esoteric cosmology of going into the stars and angels, and you're like, what the—what was this guy on? He wasn't on anything. He was on pure awakened consciousness. That's what he was on.
So art's good. Science—science good. Art good. Philosophy good.
One other thing is to also study other sacred texts. Study world religions. Study multiple systems.
But this is one key point, which is a little bit tricky. Because you don't want to read a book on Kabbalah, and then a book on yoga, and then a book on something else, and then a book on Zen Buddhism, and then—because you're not going deep. And you're not going deep. You're just reading a bunch of multiple things and you're just kind of comparing them. And sometimes things make sense, but sometimes they don't, and you just kind of tear your head out—tear your hair out of your head—and you become like me lol.
But the reason—what you should do is you should go deep into one system. You should do its practices and attain a little something. And then, you know, like read—I don't know, choose a system that you really want. Gnosticism or Hermeticism or—I know—Raja Yoga. Like a real system.
Not freaking—not like yoga, going to Lululemon and stretching all the girls. That's not a system of esoteric spiritual development.
Choose your system. Stick with it. Maybe it's Kabbalah. Read the foundational documents. You know, read some Hermetic stuff, blah blah blah, or some Hermetic-Kabbalah stuff, etc., etc.
Then, once you have this competency, you can then read a book on yoga. And then when you go back to your literature, you kind of see certain links. And then you read some Sufism and then go, "Wait a second, some of that Sufi stuff actually matches up with what I'm learning."
Or if you're not—you know, you read like a bunch of Gnostic texts and then you read a book on alchemy. You're like, "Wait, wait a minute" ...what it is now is an illusion. What it is now is an entity that is within you, that is trying to pull you away from clarity. It’s trying to pull you away from concentration.
And so it’s hard. It’s very hard because it’s so easy to fall into that emotion. It’s so easy to be like, “Yeah, screw that guy,” or “Screw her,” or “Screw this thing that happened.” And then you start to fantasize or you begin to relive it. Or you begin to—whatever. You give in to the emotion, and then you’ve lost the candle.
So the idea is, in this first stage, you learn to hold your attention onto a candle, and you’re gonna get distracted by external things. Then you build up enough energy or clarity that the external world no longer distracts you.
Then, the second octave, the internal world begins to distract you—your thoughts, your fantasies, your dreams. And then the third octave is your memories, your traumas, your internal emotional content, your karma, your inner demons, if you want to call them that. That’s what begins to distract you.
So this practice of concentration, of awareness, is so powerful because it eventually burns all that away. You learn to just stare at something—focus, clarity, awareness. And if you can hold your awareness in front of you, like a blade, just held out in front of you like a sword, then, when you go into another system, if you want to go into—I don’t know—some shamanic world or breathwork thing, or you want to chant some weird magical incantation or whatever, that clarity, that awareness, is going to serve you incredibly well.
And it’s also what you take with you to other worlds. It’s the awareness that begins to move and goes into other places. But if you don’t have that cultivated, then you just get swept up in the dream. You get swept up in the fantasy. You get swept up in your own mind.
So yeah, it’s very important. Concentration, awareness, clarity—super important. And it’s something you can begin today. You can begin today, staring at a candle. Just five minutes. Just five minutes.
And every time you get distracted, just bring it back. Just bring it back. Just bring it back. And that’s all. That’s all it is.
And yeah, that’s what I wanted to talk about. A little bit of stuff. A little bit about concentration. A little bit about magic. A little bit about clarity.
Alright, take care everyone. Have a good one. See ya.
How does one begin to describe "Initiation"?
A video attempting to conceptualize initiation as the beginning of the process to the transfiguration of one's "Being".
Hello friends, today I want to talk about something weird: spiritual elitism. Cause you see a lot of people, they talk about Enlightenment and Awakening and Kundalini and "trust me bro, this time for real bro, ego death for sure bro," but there's nothing really exceptional about them. So what do I mean by initiation? Clearly I'm talking about something different.
An initiate compared to a normal human is like comparing a butterfly to a caterpillar. Imagine if you will a great ladder of being, where each of the rungs represents a different level. On one rung you have plants, the next animals, then humans. What does it take to truly step from that rung of humanity to the one above it? This is the real question asked by people who are truly seeking spiritual Evolution.
So how do we begin? Well, with the most general education possible. It is good to have general knowledge, not just of esotericism but history, philosophy, psychology, and many other subjects. What should be noted is in this first basic requirement lays a trap. You see, as seekers we all need an open mind, a broad horizon, but what we need most is intuition, a discernment that allows us to close all doors that will lead us off the path.
Now before we get too ahead of ourselves, I could already hear the followers of Renee Ganan saying, "What about a teacher? Don't we need an initiator to become initiates?" Well, yes, but also no. You see, Renee gunan is technically correct, but he's also old and boring and I don't like him. Think of it like this: initiation is like the growth or cultivation of a plant from a seed. For that seed to grow, it needs proper soil and nourishment. It needs proper water—not too much, not too little. It needs the right amount of sun—not too much, not too little. If we are that seed, then we need soil: a proper institution. We need water: the proper teachings. And we need the Sun: an initiator.
Hunter Spills The Beans On Most Incredible Sasquatch Encounter
Ernie Davieau is a veteran hunter, and butcher who gained notoriety for a compelling Bigfoot encounter he experienced in the forests of Massachusetts. During a routine hunt near Blanford and Granville, Davieau came face-to-face with a towering Sasquatch, witnessing its movements and even experiencing what he described as an unexpected communication attempt. His detailed and thrilling account challenges perceptions of these elusive forest dwellers, a story he has shared on various platforms including podcasts such as "Bigfoot Society" and "My Bigfoot Sighting."
On Reality and Theories of Everything
Compilation of powerful ideas from three brilliant minds — Federico Faggin, Bernardo Kastrup, and Chris Langan. Each of them offers a unique perspective on consciousness and reality.
Understanding Gnosticism with Miguel Conner
Miguel Conner is host of the Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio podcast. He has authored two books of interviews about gnosticism, Voices of Gnosticism and Other Voices of Gnosticism, and also four novels. His newest book is The Occult Elvis: The Mystical and Magical Life of the King.
His website is https://www.miguelconner.com
Here he explains the origins of Gnosticism in late antiquity. He describes how it impacted both the Christian, Greek, and Persian worlds. He discusses the influence of Gnosticism upon a range of modern thinkers and writers. And, he distinguishes Gnosticism from other similar movements including Neo-Platonism and Hermeticism.
Next time someone tells you the aether isn't real...
The original Michelson-Morley experiment was done parallel to the ground, so at exactly the only angle where you can't measure the aether.
Accounting for the fact that the aether is parallel to gravity, suddenly it's measurable.
[Synchronicity] is Caused By a Magical Machine
Thirdeyetyrone speculates on the nature knowledge itself. Knowledge appears to be directly related to space, but what exactly is space? Perhaps what we call space is actually the body of a higher cosmic principle. Can space have a face?
