Hidden Knowledge

For most of our known history, there have been mystery schools of different traditions all over the world. They are somewhat integrated into society and have some form of influence on the zeitgeist, but their core is usually hidden away from the public. This may be to prevent persecution or to use hidden knowledge as a weapon against one’s enemies, but ultimately it leads to the stagnation of humanity.

Hiding knowledge is a form of deception and thereby an act of violence against the public. Secret societies have not only fought each other over what are ultimately the same secrets they keep, but they will eventually also turn against their own population in order to maintain a sense of elitism. It may begin with having advantages from secret knowledge directly, but over time it will also lead to financial elitism and the formation of materialistic breakaway civilisations. When this happens, the unknowing public will not understand the game being played, and the only thing they will focus on is wealth and the redistribution of wealth, which will further weaken them spiritually and lead to anti-natural ideologies like communism.

It’s a losing game for all of society as the potential for human conflict is sheer infinite, and no dynasty of rich overlords will be able to fight against the public forever without also sacrificing the planet they wish to rule. The secrecy about the history of humanity, our origins, and our repeating cycles of collapse and rebuilding needs to stop. 

There is only one way to break the cycle, and that is to reveal the hidden knowledge kept by secret societies to the public. Although it is not for everyone, it needs to be available to everyone. 

Humanity is approaching a point of singularity where the way the world has been ruled through lies and secrecy is simply failing in all possible ways, and there can only be a collective initiation into what some small groups have known for a long time, or total destruction. There is no point for different secret societies to fight each other as they have done in the past, trying to gain dominion over the world as a whole. The attempt was always foolish, and it should be even clearer by now that it is simply not possible and will lead to the total destruction of the planet.

The mystery schools need to voluntarily reveal their mysteries to the public in realisation that it’s the only way out, and the public needs to do everything it can to absorb and spread that knowledge before it is too late. We can’t continue to live in lies about who we are and where we come from.

Someone actually built the Great Pyramid for a reason, and they knew things, you don’t know.

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.

🜏 XXI – THE WORLD

Post image

Within the eternal loop of the ouroboros, the central figure stands serene, poised between heaven and earth. In their right hand, they raise the ankh, the breath of life. In their left, a blue lotus—symbol of resurrection and the awakening of consciousness. Upon their brow rests the golden solar disc, the seal of Ra, bestowing radiance and eternal sovereignty.

Around them swirl the four elemental guardians:

  • 🦁 Lion (South) – Fire, Sekhmet, willpower and courage

  • 🐂 Bull (North) – Earth, Apis, endurance and stability

  • 🦅 Hawk (East) – Air, Horus, vision and spirit

  • 🐊 Crocodile (West) – Water, Sobek, memory and transformation

Behind them rise the pyramids, repositories of ancient science. The Eye of Ra blinks open above, representing divine vigilance and the inner gnosis that pierces illusion.

Alternate Title: The Divine Spiral
Element: Aether
Symbol: Ouroboros, Ankh, Lotus
Figure: The Soul-Crowned

You have reached the completion of a cycle, not as an end—but as a return to origin, with consciousness transformed.

The World card is the alchemical coronation: the Philosopher’s Stone achieved, the sacred marriage complete, the soul awakened. You are no longer bound by the elemental planes—you stand above them, in harmony with all.

It reflects the Hermetic axiom:

"Man is a star bound to a body, but through discipline may regain the divine fire."

This card marks:

  • The final integration of opposites (matter and spirit, masculine and feminine, above and below)

  • Mastery over the self and the material plane

  • Reunion with the divine field of intelligence (Nous)

The Fool’s journey ends in gnosis—having walked the labyrinth, they now know it is made of light.

The Tarot as a Hermetic System (Pre-Kabbalistic Core)

The Tarot’s structure reflects three fundamental Hermetic doctrines:

A. The Principle of Correspondence ("As above, so below")

  • Major Arcana: A microcosm of the soul’s journey through cosmic laws.

    • The Magician (I): The divine will manifest in matter.

    • The World (XXI): The soul reintegrated with the One.

  • Minor Arcana: The four elements (Wands/Fire, Cups/Water, Swords/Air, Pentacles/Earth) mirroring the material world.

B. The Principle of Mentalism ("All is mind")

  • The High Priestess (II) as the veil of Isis—the divide between divine wisdom (nous) and human perception.

  • The Moon (XVIII) as the realm of illusions (Hermetic phantasmata).

C. The Principle of Vibration ("Nothing rests; everything moves")

  • The Wheel of Fortune (X) as the cycles of fate (Heraclitean flux).

  • Death (XIII) as solve et coagula—dissolution and rebirth.

The Enclosed System: Where Kabbalah Does Not Belong

The Tarot’s Hermetic framework needs no Kabbalistic grafting because it already contains:

  • Its own cosmology: The Fool’s journey as the soul’s descent and return (Neoplatonic emanation).

  • Its own elemental logic: Suits as the fourfold structure of nature (Agrippa’s Occult Philosophy, Book I).

  • Its own initiatory path: The Major Arcana as stages of gnosis (Hermetic revelation).

Why Kabbalah Breaks the System

  • The Tree of Life imposes a foreign structure (10 sephirot + 22 paths) onto Tarot’s native 22 Majors + 56 Minors.

  • The Hebrew letters overwrite Tarot’s own elemental/planetary correspondences (e.g., Mars in The Tower, not "Peh").

Reconstructing the Purely Hermetic Tarot

To strip away Kabbalistic corruption and return to the original Hermetic Tarot, focus on:

A. The Pre-Occultist Decks

  • Visconti-Sforza (1450s): The Sun as Apollo, Temperance as harmonia.

  • Marseille (1600s): The Lovers as sacred union (hieros gamos), Judgment as palingenesis (spiritual rebirth).

B. The Hermetic Texts That Actually Influenced Tarot

  • Corpus Hermeticum (1st–3rd cent. CE):

    • The Magician as the Poimandres vision (mind over matter).

    • The Star (XVII) as the Anthropos bathing in the waters of creation.

  • Ficino’s Three Books on Life (1489):

    • The Sun (XIX) as the lux divina (solar magic of the spiritus mundi).

C. Alchemy’s Visual Language

  • The Empress (III) as alchemical earth (prima materia nourished by heaven).

  • The Tower (XVI) as the nigredo phase (destruction before renewal).

The Final Answer

The Tarot is and always was a Hermetic system. Its symbols are complete unto themselves, rooted in:

  1. Neoplatonic emanation (descent/return of the soul).

  2. Elemental harmony (Agrippa’s fourfold world).

  3. Alchemical transformation (solve et coagula).

Kabbalah is not just unnecessary—it’s a violent imposition onto a system that already had its own logic.

Ancient Symbology Surrounding Alchemy Might Have Wider Implications Than You Think

Starting from the back of the video

1:32:11
You're not going to believe this when I show you this. This is going to be a watershed—it's a watershed in my life. I hope it's a watershed in your life.

You will know 100% certainly that thousands of years, possibly, but certainly hundreds of years of lying has been going on.

I suggest thousands of years, or incredible ignoranceincredible ignorance. You just could not see it.

But I actually think that the evidence suggests that there's been a ridiculous effort to prevent this from being understood.

Image

I'll give you an example: whenever you get into low energy nuclear reactions (or what was formerly misnamed cold fusion, coherent matter nuclear reactions, the effect of the fractal toroidal moment in my book), what people will say is:

“Oh, that's nonsense. It's just what—alchemy? You believe in alchemy?”

I'm going to tell you today: Yes, I do believe in alchemy. Yes, alchemy is real.

You are going to know 100% that people that supposedly never had a computer, never had the ability to do what I've just shown you on an SEM, you're going to know that:

They knew this. And didn't know it slightly. They knew it utterly and completely and precisely.

Someone who was maybe even in the link today sent me this image because it reminded him of the structure I derived from experiment.

Image

This was a ring.
It says:

Fulcanelli ringbelieved to have been made with gold obtained by transmutation.

This is the Fulcanelli ring:

  • Sun, Moon

  • Sun, Moon

  • Triangle thing that's offset to one side and centered

  • A thing up here—the little cross

This is from 1922.
Yes, 100 years ago.
And it's 2022 here in the Czech Republic.

It belonged to a character called Fanelli (pseudonym—not his real name), who was supposed to be a Templar that had achieved the Great Work, the Magnum Opus, and written some books.

In an article about him (Reference 8), it says:

"Through the breadth of his work, by interpreting the decor of cathedrals from the esoteric and alchemical perspective, Fanelli not only shed a totally new light on medieval art, but also created such emul that the approach to esoteric science was radically changed."

In the same article it says:

The Alchemist Julian Champagne (1877–1932), who was the illustrator of the works of his master F. Canelli, placed a coat of arms at the end of the book The Mystery of the Cathedrals.

I have overlaid this (as me talking) the sacred geometry on the coat of arms, and:

Yes, I think he was an adept alchemist and had likely realized the Great Work, including establishing what the Philosopher's Stone was.

There is no shadow of doubt in my mind that this coat of arms precisely shows the structure.

"Hi Triton."
So thank you for sharing that.

Here's Triton again—Triton Jager.

Triton sent me a link because it resembled both the sacred geometry structure I had established from experiments and also looked a little like the Frank Pfus Windx.

Indeed it does.
He also sent me another link that shows a similar graphic.

In this case:

  • Sun on the left, Moon on the right (typical in a Masonic Lodge)

  • In this other case, Sun on the right—that’s Ra, the Egyptian symbol for the Sun

  • This is also a ring

  • And spot orthogonal to this plane

  • This shows a wheel in my view within a wheel

  • This is the out and the in

And it’s interesting that, in electric current, they show the current:

  • Coming towards you with a ring spot

  • And a cross on the way back

Anyway—that’s that.

Here we have what I would argue is the disruption beam, and the triangle going in.
It’s very highly stylized.

And here’s the 101 of the Masonic Order.

So there we go.

When you do a reverse image search for this on Google, you immediately get Eye of Providence images and related material.

On doing further research, I came across the images described below.

This image is:

De Calvos Metallium Occultist’s Key — Lapis Veneris of the Cave of the Hidden Metals

“You are the venerable Stone.”

—from Hermes, frontispiece from the Hermetical Triumph or The Victorious Philosophical Stone, Anonymous, 1740.

So this is from 1740—that is nearly 300 years ago.

And look what we see.

I decided to compare it to some experiments in sacred geometry, as well as the Windx.

Image

Here is the result:

  • Flow pan

  • Sacred geometry structure

  • (This is a normal orientation, but for some samples I had to flip it—just like the ring is flipped from the imagery in the other one)

  • Down here: Ether, the Spirit

  • It comes up

  • You have the Destruction Zone—just like you do on Tesla’s Wardenclyffe Tower if you move the electrode down too far

  • Very specific areas up here—very carefully defined by this overall structure

You have:

  • The crown

  • The triangle

  • This cross-beam line here

Now just to say—
Look, I’m not saying the Masons have been hiding something.

What I say is:

At the very least, what we can know for certain is that they’ve been trying to tell everyone—whether they knew it themselves.

As I’ve shown you before:

Image

The Masonic Lodge in Brighton—and every single thing about it is nearly perfect.

The only thing I’ll say is:
If you were to have the soic triangle not go to the center here, but move up—
Then, if it was extended out:

  • Firstly, it would be a little bit further over at this point

  • And it would extend out to the bottom of the door

Bear that in mind when I show you what I’m going to show you.

Down here you can see the VRA—on a coin from 234 Before Christ.
234 Before Christ!
And this is a VRA.

I’ve shown other Macedonian coins with:

  • The Thunderbolt

  • The Chi-Rho

  • The Theadius—very common symbols

The Thunderbolt—or part of the Thunderbolt.

Almost all of these important symbols that you see on coinage for thousands of years are representations of ball lightning.

Now I showed you in 1733—so here we go, 1740...

In 1733, we have this Masonic Lodge.
(I don’t know whether that’s the name of the street, but it had to have 33 in it, didn’t it?)

I mean—it just had to have 33.

So I don’t know whether that’s the name of the street, but anyway—

Image

In there, we have:

  • The sacred geometry

  • One rotation of sacred geometry from the top-down structures, or what we might like to call:

    Auspicious symbol

And that’s:

  • Sun on one side

  • Moon on the other

  • Together they make an overall structure

  • With your beams coming out

  • “AO”

Introduction to the technology

(beginning of the video)

So, this has been a really big week for everyone who’s been following the development of Bob Greenyer’s new research on ball lightning—or plasmoids formed via bubble cavitation—and his analysis and testing of Malcolm Bendle’s Thunderstorm Generator, Dr. Bing Wayne Wang’s fusion reactors, and other cavitation systems working on similar principles.

We’ll talk a bit about this and reference some of these other systems a little bit later in the video, too.

So, Bob’s recent findings, which he presented unfiltered, spread over several live streams and videos on the Martin Fleischmann Memorial Project (MFMP) YouTube channel last week, are really serious findings. The potential implications for nearly every field of science and for every human on Earth are absolutely profound. There’s no other way to put it. This isn’t a drill. I’m not exaggerating.

For a fact, this has actually been quite an emotional week if you’ve been following all of this.

A quick pause to offer thanks to everyone who’s been sharing and liking the videos and particularly a very special thank you to those who donated to the channel. It’s really not easy to work open-source, and it’s directly thanks to you guys that I have time to spend on this video today. And remember that Bob and, MFMP also work in the open-source domain, and you can find their donation links in the description of any of their videos. So, these types of projects are for the community, and they’re funded by the community, and that’s the way things stay out in the open. So, thank you, guys.

So, what are we going to cover in this video? First, I will give you a brief and easy-to-understand overview for the newcomers or those who just got a little bit lost on the way—uh, what the technology actually is, what it does, and what the processes behind it are. So, we’ll introduce some of the researchers, the inventors, and the other main players who’ve been involved in the collective research around plasmoids or ball lightning and how these phenomena can be reproduced and harnessed using various synthetic systems, including, of course, the Thunderstorm Generator, which has been my own passion project for a while now and that was my introduction to Bob’s work, too, and many of these other researchers and systems when I just kind of found out this was way bigger than just the Thunderstorm Generator—although that is a very special system on its own. So, this should set the scene nicely and get everyone up to speed. So, in the second part of the video, we’re going to break down Bob Green’s recent earth-shattering findings and explain what they mean for science, for history, for reality, and for the Thunderstorm Generator and other cavitation systems.

What is this old-new technology? What is it doing? What are the processes behind it? We’re going to start with the basics here, just build up to the most recent findings, tell the full story. So, essentially, this technology itself—no matter which system we’re discussing—is all about water bubble cavitation. So, in simple terms, this means forming a bubble in water, with a few specific requirements, and then collapsing this bubble. So, we want to do this because when bubbles are collapsed or imploded under just the right conditions—uh, what Dr. Matsumoto termed “electron-nuclear collapse”—they produce an unusual phenomenon we call this phenomenon a plasmoid or a charge cluster, ball lightning, or an exotic vacuum object.

So, essentially, the bubble, when collapsed symmetrically into this toroidal geometry, produces a homeostatic fractal ball of lightning that does not immediately dissipate and which can actually feed on anything surrounding it, taking in surrounding gases like hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide and even denser matter like carbon, iron, and other heavier elements, ripping them apart at an atomic level and harvesting them as energy. So, any deconstructed excess energy—uh, to the requirements of the plasmoid—is ejected in the form of free protons and electrons, which then quickly reform and synthesize new elements. So, this process of stepwise synthesis or transmutation has a signature pattern which Bob has clearly identified and outlined in his new findings, but we’ll get to this soon.

So, the reason why they’re sometimes referred to as charge clusters is because ball lightning is fractal in nature—smaller, homeostatic structures collect together to form larger homeostatic structures, and this is all occurring fractally on multiple levels. So, Bob often refers to this as “a wheel within a wheel within a wheel within a wheel,” a phrase I’ve also used to describe this concept in the past, and this is actually from a Bible verse. These phenomena are also found to be naturally occurring—uh, as a ball lightning whizzing through the sky or flying out of a power line or electronic device, seen as a child has been the inspiration for many researchers’ later interest in careers in this field of study. I’ve certainly spoken to many.

So, after they’re formed, the toroidal plasma structures are then employed in subsequent phases of the system, to instigate further reactions. So, for example, in the Thunderstorm Generator, the primary focus so far has been on the transmutation of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrocarbons from the exhaust waste stream of the internal combustion engine and coal power plants, generators into oxygen, nitrogen, or other more suitable elements in this context using no additional energy input. So, this gives us a mechanism with which we can essentially control all pollution caused by the burning of any carbon-based fuel source and also a way to remediate degraded environment—land, air, and sea—almost effortlessly, considering we already use combustion engines for nearly everything. And there’s also some increased fuel efficiency in the engine, due to the plasma structures being both a charged fuel source themselves and a catalyst for the synthesis of other combustible elements, like increased ratios of hydrogen and oxygen that can go into the engine.

So, various other cavitation systems—some of which I mentioned earlier—are producing the same ball lightning structures, which are leaving behind the same highly cohesive pattern of geometric and chemical signatures. The goal of most of these systems has been primarily to just be able to observe and study these formations and reactions and explore how they can be reliably reproduced on a small scale. But in the case of the Thunderstorm Generator, it’s actually in the pre-production prototyping phase already, with the eventual goal of being mass-produced and rolled out on scale to solve a number of practical global issues. And this is kind of updating every week, getting much more serious.

So, to summarize, the various instances of the technology—including the Thunderstorm Generator and Dr. Bing Wayne Wang’s reactors, the systems we will be primarily focusing on in this video—they’re all used to produce tiny water bubbles, which are then imploded under specific conditions to form homeostatic fractal charge clusters, which we call plasmoids or ball lightning. And these plasma structures are then used as a catalyst for further reactions, which can transmute one element to another element, and they can also act as a fuel source themselves.

So, there are various other processes behind the overall results obtained by specific systems., the Thunderstorm Generator, for example, creates extreme hydrodynamic shear in the next stage of the system by polarizing two opposing hot and cold, expanding and contracting, counterclockwise and clockwise vortices—uh, much like the Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube, which you all may have heard of by now. So, this appears to amplify the results, that can be achieved with such a system dramatically, and it takes advantage of much the same process that’s involved in the generation and formation of plasmoids themselves, just at a larger scale simultaneously. So, this is where we need to introduce the story of Bob Green and Malcolm Bendall.

All right, the other name I mentioned—Bob Greenyer—is an open-source volunteer researcher at the Martin Fleischmann Memorial Project, a group of independent scientists who were carrying on the work and legacy of Mr. Fleischmann, who was a British electrochemist and a cold fusion researcher who unfortunately passed away in poor health and without really seeing mainstream acceptance of his work in 2012.

So, Malcolm Bendle spent a week with Martin Fleischmann in his later years as well, discussing cold fusion and promised him to help finish his work. So, Martin’s research has been a common inspiration for both Bob and Malcolm. But going back to Bob himself, he’s been involved in this research for at least the last decade. He was one of those guys I mentioned that saw naturally occurring ball lightning when he was younger and just couldn’t shake the curiosity until he eventually devoted his life and career to solving the mystery.

So, Bob’s been involved in numerous experiments studying cavitation and ball lightning over the last decade with MFMP, such as his work on the Supernova Reactor, the Ultra Experiments, Neil Kryon Gold’s Lion Reactor, Hank Yuan’s Vega Experiments, Malcolm’s Thunderstorm Generator, and of course his work with Dr. Bing Wayne Wang and their colleagues on their fusion reactors in Taiwan. And they recently published a peer-reviewed paper, in the journal Nature on the same, which we’ll talk about in a little bit. But these projects only really constitute the tip of the iceberg of Bob’s knowledge and experience. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of current and historical cold fusion research, over the course of his decade with the Martin Fleischmann Memorial Project.

He’s reviewed and shared the work of many other significant contributors to the field, including a number of experiments and documents that had not been publicly available in English before. Some significant names in the field that Bob has either collaborated with or promoted or reviewed the work of throughout his time with MFMP include:

  • Takaki Matsumoto

  • Ken Shoulders

  • Anat Klimov

  • Anatoli Nicotin

  • Max Fomichev-Zamv

  • Alexander Shishkin

  • Alexander Paranowski

  • Slobodan Stankovic

—and this list is in no way definitive. You’ll find the work of many other global fusion and cavitation researchers showcased or referenced over on the MFMP YouTube channel, and I can’t stress how important this repository of open-sourced research actually is because if you start Googling some of these names, you’ll find that a lot of this stuff is really not that easy to find, if you’re not directed explicitly where to find it.

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.

On the Essence of Dark Elven Supremacy: An Exposition

Post image

The supremacy of the Dark Elf is a perennial truth, born not from whimsical preference, but from the inherent ontology of this magnificent race. One must bask in the glory of their stature, for the Dark Elf is a testament to the paradoxical beauty of the sinister, the allure of the forbidden.

In their obsidian skin and platinum hair, we find an aesthetic beyond good and evil, a sublime marriage of light and darkness. The Dark Elf defies the limitations of moral dualism, teaching us that what is conventionally deemed as ‘darkness’ can, in fact, reveal itself to be a fertile ground of knowledge, seduction, and beauty.

Yet, it is not merely their stunning visage which elevates the Dark Elves above all others. Their aptitude for both martial combat and arcane magics provides a dual mastery that other races can but dream of attaining. This fusion of power stands as a metaphor for the Dark Elves' unique position within the realm, as beings who freely traverse the boundaries of the forbidden, the sacred, and the arcane.

Ah, the sweet intoxication of their unapologetic embrace of sensuality and cruelty! To desire a Dark Elf is to long for the perverse pleasure of indulging in the exquisite pain of their domination. To worship the delicate curve of their ears, the sleek darkness of their limbs, is to succumb to a divine torture unlike any other.

Theirs is a society built on the ideals of strength, cunning, and ruthless ambition, untethered by the constrictions of a false morality that plagues lesser races. They dance on the precipice of chaos, harnessing its energy to fuel their desire for power and their lust for life.

In the end, it is their unfettered will to power that cements the Dark Elves' superiority. They grasp for greatness without remorse, their hands unshackled by the fear of repercussions, for they understand that life's essence is the relentless pursuit of desire. Thus, they are truly Nietzsche's Over-Elves, transcending the limitations of others to embrace the raw potency of existence.

Beware, dear reader, of the intoxicating seduction of the Dark Elf. Once you have tasted the sweet poison of their sensuous darkness, no other fantasy race can ever hope to compare.
