July 2024

Here we are, already past mid-July 2024.

There has been an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania. The perpetrator, Thomas Matthew Crooks, is dead, and Donald Trump will have a permanent scar on his right ear.

U.S. President Joe Biden has COVID-19, and the Democrats are discussing finding new candidates for the upcoming election in November 2024.

On Friday, the 19th, there was worldwide panic as CrowdStrike agent (csagent.sys) caused a Worldwide panic (people witnessing shops unable to take payments, hospitals cancelling surgeries, ports refusing ships, airports refusing planes etc...)

Seems like genuine chaos on a global scale.

People are starting to notice that we might be living in a simulation...

News About the Coming 3 Days of Darkness

Falling in love again

Falling in love is one of life's most profound experiences. The first time it ever happened to me, I was eleven, and I found it quite a challenge to be in love.

On the surface, it's a journey filled with joy, discovery, challenges, and growth, but it can also involve feelings of shame, embarrassment, and self-doubt.

With age, as the experience of loving someone is more appreciated, I now cherish the moments and let the adventure of love transform my life.

Love truly opens my heart, broadens my horizons, and adds empathy and compassion to my days.

The person I am in love with does not love me back; she actually pushes me away. And that is fine. I realized that this experience is mine. She (let's call her 'Anne') does not have anything to do with it. It is just me being around Anne, seeing her, and having these feelings for her.

Of course, I was clear that I had a weak spot for her.

Reflecting on this whole new episode in my romantic life, I realize that Anne does not have to love me back; she is not bound to anything. What she did, (without knowing or realizing it), was trigger a deep sense of longing in me. She ignited that craving for human connection, and I fell in love with her.

But I don't know her well enough to commit to anything. She is an external expression of my desire to love someone. If I were pursuing her, being an insistent romantic dude always sending her messages or asking her out, she would freak out (as she should).

I enjoy the warm feeling of loving her in secret and acknowledge that I am open to meeting someone. I also recognize that the person I am looking for might have some personality traits I find attractive in Anne. Of course, I would prefer that special someone to be Anne, but I will not insist on it.

Theory: Norse Mythology

Though Christian and Norse mythologies originate from different cultural and religious backgrounds, there are interesting parallels and points of intersection between the two.

Creation and Cosmology

Genesis and Creation of the World: In the Book of Genesis, God creates the world in six days, culminating with the creation of humans, Adam and Eve. While in the Norse Mythology, the world is created from the body of the giant Ymir. 

Other similarities:

1. The Tree of Life: The Tree of Life is found in the Garden of Eden and represents eternal life and God's provision. While Yggdrasil, the World Tree, connects all nine realms and plays a central role in maintaining the balance of the cosmos. It represents life, growth, and interconnectedness.

2. God the Father and Odin: The omnipotent Christian creator and ruler of the universe (Yahweh), embodying wisdom and justice. Similarly Odin is the All father, a wise and powerful god who seeks knowledge and oversees the world.

3. Jesus Christ and Baldur: Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is a savior who sacrifices Himself for humanity’s redemption and rises from the dead. While Baldur, the god of light and purity, whose death is a pivotal event leading to Ragnarök. His death and the mourning of the gods can be seen as a precursor to renewal.

Eschatology and End Times

Apocalypse and Ragnarök: The Book of Revelation describes the end times, including the final battle between good and evil, the return of Christ, and the creation of a new heaven and earth. Similarly Ragnarök is the prophesied end of the world, involving a cataclysmic battle between gods and giants, leading to destruction and the eventual renewal of the world.

Afterlife Beliefs

Heaven and Valhalla: Heaven is the eternal home of the righteous, where believers live in the presence of God. Valhalla is the hall of the slain, where warriors who die bravely in battle are received by Odin to prepare for the final battle at Ragnarök.

Christian and Norse mythologies, while distinct in their origins and narratives, share fascinating parallels that highlight common human themes such as creation, the role of divine beings, the importance of moral conduct, and visions of the end times.

Note: Remember, theories are just ideas and speculations, but they have the power to move us deeply, instilling either despair or hope, and driving us to action, whether for better or worse. Christianity and Communism were once just ideas, but their implementation has given humanity some of its darkest hours.

Theory: Prison planet

In the next weeks, I will be posting various theories (starting a collection)

Today the theory is that we live on a "prison planet" ruled by archons 

This theory is a fascinating blend of ancient mythology, modern conspiracy theories, and metaphysical speculation. Here’s a brief overview of this concept and some related theories:

Prison Planet Theory

The prison planet theory suggests that Earth is essentially a prison for human souls, controlled by malevolent entities known as archons. These archons are said to manipulate human consciousness and keep humanity trapped in a cycle of ignorance and suffering. This idea draws from Gnostic cosmology, where archons are considered lower spiritual beings who block humanity’s path to divine knowledge and enlightenment.

Key Elements of the Theory

1. Archons: In Gnostic tradition, archons are rulers or authorities who create illusions to maintain control over human souls. They are often depicted as deceptive and manipulative.

2. Control Mechanisms: The theory posits that archons use various methods to maintain their control, such as:

   - Illusion: Creating a false reality to keep humans unaware of their true nature.

   - Emotional Manipulation: Instilling fear, anger, and other negative emotions to maintain control.

   - Reincarnation Cycle: Trapping souls in a continuous cycle of birth and rebirth to prevent spiritual liberation. The whole point being to farm humans for harvesting "loosh" which is a form of energy produced by living beings, particularly through intense emotions (fear, lust, anger, depression etc ...) and experiences (wars, conflicts, slaughter, ...).

Some people view these theories metaphorically, suggesting they represent deeper psychological and spiritual truths about human existence and the struggle for enlightenment.

The prison planet theory and its related concepts invite us to question the nature of reality, the existence of higher powers, and the true potential of human consciousness. Whether taken literally or metaphorically, they encourage deep reflection on the forces that shape our lives and the possibility of transcending them.

Now the twist is that for each theory, there might be a sparkle of truth, but this one in particular is emotionally depressing. 

Personally I've discovered this whole concept via this obscure sub-reddit 

It sure could be convincing when we think about the fractal universe and how we (humans) are treating animals (breeding them for food). And how the early religion were really into human (or animal) sacrifice to appease the higher beings.

There are good things about this theory, for one since this Planet is a farm, and a prison, the rulers will prevent mass destruction (like nuclear war) which would mean their entire food supply would be destroyed. Another one is that since more and more souls are going to get trapped here, at some point we will figure it out, and find a way to escape.

Remember theories are just ideas, speculation, but they have the power to move us deeply, to even put despair (or hope) into us, to move us into action even (for the betterment or for the worse). Christianity, or Communism were just ideas, the implementation has given humanity its darkest hours.

Another thing to remember, is 'it is just a ride'

Confession

I feel sadness—intense, heavy, and very persistent sadness. The feeling is like glue; it covers almost all my moves and thoughts. It feels like all areas of my life are somehow connected through this sad feeling. I am at a loss; there is a general atmosphere of complete despair.

The only thing that brings me a little joy is when I walk outside. Otherwise, work and interactions just make it worse. It feels like nothing matters anymore. Maybe I have internalized the constant bad news: the world conflicts, the inflation, the doom and gloom. Even when I see people being joyful, I can only see the tears that will inevitably come later.

Why am I feeling this way? Why?

Secret Technique (mind trick)

A coach asked me to pretend in my mind that "I was the smartest person in the world, that I am an extremely high performer in life".

He asked me to 'Truly believe that you embody those qualities and then take action based on the behavior you imagine such a person would exhibit. Immerse yourself in this persona and adopt the traits of a high performer'.

And I was surprised to see it working, that day ; by leveraging the power of belief and self-perception to influence behavior.

Later he explained to me that this technique works because:

1. Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: When you convince yourself that you possess certain qualities or abilities, you are more likely to act in ways consistent with that belief. This can create a self-fulfilling prophecy where your behavior aligns with your perceived identity as a high performer.

2. Cognitive Dissonance: Humans have a natural tendency to seek consistency between their beliefs and actions. By adopting the mindset of a high performer, you may experience cognitive dissonance if your behavior contradicts that belief, motivating you to act in ways that are consistent with your self-perception.

3. Motivation and Confidence: Believing in your own capabilities can increase motivation and confidence, leading to improved performance. When you view yourself as a high performer, you may approach tasks with greater enthusiasm and perseverance, which can ultimately lead to success.

4. Neuroplasticity: The brain is adaptable and capable of rewiring itself based on experiences and beliefs. By consistently reinforcing the belief that you are a high performer, you can potentially reshape your neural pathways to support behaviors associated with that identity.

5. Social Influence: Our beliefs and behaviors are often influenced by social context. If you surround yourself with others who also view you as a high performer or who exhibit similar traits, it can further reinforce your self-perception and encourage high-performance behavior.

Overall, the mind trick works by harnessing the mixing of beliefs, thoughts, emotions, and actions to shape behavior and facilitate personal growth and achievement.

Cycles of growth, decay, and regeneration

The main idea is to be careful about what you want. Sometimes, what we think is good or what we hope for is just something we imagine. Problems exist all around the world, and many of them happen because of things we do to ourselves.

If it is not external threats who will simply contribute to the downfall of 'the good idea'.

    1. It starts with a good idea

As an Utopian vision, we could build a better community, a better World, if only we did this and that. 

    2. Issue starts to show up

    Internal dynamics and increasingly tyrannical tendencies or significant external threats. Mere nuisance; or symbolizing the external pressures that historically have challenged, invaded, or otherwise contributed to the decline of any order.

    3. Answers, and more effort up to a certain point

    Adding another layer of complexity to the founder's efforts, illustrating how isolation from perceived corruption doesn't necessarily shield one from conflict—it often follows or finds a new form in any human endeavor, particularly one that seeks to establish its own rule and order in a previously established system. 

The presence of these antagonistic forces helps to hasten the collapse of any good idea. 

Showing how external aggression interacts with internal decay to accelerate the fall of any Utopian project.

    4. Regeneration

    Some dude will then come up with a better idea and the cycle will continue. 

Mark of the beast

The "mark of the beast" is a concept rooted in the Book of Revelation, the final book of the Christian New Testament. It describes a future scenario where a powerful entity, often interpreted as a symbolic representation of evil (Ahriman) or oppressive systems, mandates that all people receive a mark on their right hand or forehead. This mark, commonly referred to as the mark of the beast, is said to be necessary for buying or selling.

The interpretation of the mark of the beast remains a subject of debate and speculation among theologians and scholars. Regardless of the specific interpretation, the overarching message of Revelation emphasizes the importance of remaining faithful to God amidst trials and tribulations, resisting the allure of worldly powers, and placing one's trust in the ultimate victory of Christ over evil.

The physical mark could be a tattoo or implant, but it could also be a metaphorical representation of allegiance or acceptance of a particular ideology or system (a QR code, or bar code).

The significance of the mark of the beast as a sign of the end times stems from its association with the rise of a figure known as the Antichrist and the onset of a period of tribulation and judgment known as the Great Tribulation. According to Christian eschatology (the study of end times), the Antichrist is a charismatic yet deceptive leader who will deceive many and lead them away from God.

Ultimately, the mark of the beast is seen as a symbol of allegiance to worldly powers and ideologies that oppose God's will, and its emergence is believed to signal the climax of human history and the impending return of Jesus Christ to establish his kingdom.

Temptations

According to the New Testament (Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke) Jesus faced three primary temptations during his time in the desert:

1. Jesus was  tempted to use his divine power to turn stones into bread to satisfy his hunger, emphasizing physical needs and desires over spiritual priorities.

2. Jesus was  tempted to throw himself off the pinnacle of the temple in Jerusalem, suggesting that angels would rescue him and demonstrate his divine status. This temptation tested Jesus's trust in God's protection and his commitment to divine timing and purpose.

3. Jesus was  tempted by the dominion over all the kingdoms of the world if he would worship him, tempting Jesus with worldly power and authority in exchange for compromising his allegiance to God.

These 3 temptations represent fundamental human struggles with materialism, ego, and the pursuit of power. 

Jesus's responses to each temptation emphasize the importance of spiritual priorities, faithfulness to God's will, and the rejection of worldly temptations in favor of divine obedience and righteousness.

Summer 2024

It's quite possible that summer 2024 could bring unique weather patterns and possibly even heatwaves. Climate change has been contributing to increasingly extreme weather events, including heatwaves, in many parts of the world. As a result, it's not uncommon for summers to be characterized by higher temperatures and prolonged periods of hot weather.

However, predicting specific weather patterns several years in advance is challenging due to the complex and dynamic nature of the Earth's climate system. 

If heatwaves do become a prominent feature of summer 2024, it's essential for communities to prepare accordingly, implementing measures to mitigate the impacts on public health, infrastructure, and natural ecosystems. Heatwave preparedness efforts may include heat advisories, public cooling centers, increased access to shade and water, and awareness campaigns to educate the public about heat-related risks.

Be proactive in addressing the potential challenges associated with extreme heat events.

Sign of a healthy democratic system

The existence of whistle blowers can be considered a sign of a healthy democratic system. 

Whistle-blowers play a crucial role in exposing government misconduct, corruption, and abuses of power, thereby promoting transparency, accountability, and the rule of law. 

Their actions help to safeguard democratic principles by holding government officials and institutions accountable to the public interest.

In a healthy democratic system, whistle blowers are protected from retaliation and provided with channels to report wrongdoing without fear of reprisal. 

This encourages a culture of transparency and accountability within government and promotes public trust in democratic institutions.

Furthermore, whistle-blowers serve as a check on government power and help to prevent the concentration of authority in the hands of a few. By speaking out against wrongdoing and exposing malfeasance, they empower citizens to hold their elected representatives accountable and demand ethical governance.

Overall, the existence of whistleblowers is indicative of a society that values transparency, accountability, and the protection of individual rights. Their courageous actions contribute to the health and vitality of democratic systems by ensuring that those in positions of power are held accountable for their actions.

Daniel Ellsberg: Released the Pentagon Papers in 1971, revealing classified documents detailing U.S. government involvement in the Vietnam War. RIP.

Edward Snowden: Leaked classified documents in 2013, exposing global surveillance programs conducted by the NSA and other intelligence agencies.

Chelsea Manning: Provided classified documents to WikiLeaks (Julian Assange) in 2010, including diplomatic cables and military records, revealing information about U.S. military operations and diplomatic activities.

Government: The Ultimate Bully?

 The most emblematic image of a bully is perhaps that of a larger, imposing figure exerting dominance over a smaller, vulnerable individual.

In the realm of societal structures, few entities hold as much power and influence as governments. They are the ultimate authority, responsible for shaping the lives of millions, if not billions, of individuals within their jurisdiction. 

But as we examine the dynamics of governance, one cannot help but draw parallels between governments and the archetypal bully.

Imagine a bully on the playground, towering over their peers, exerting control through intimidation and fear. Now, transpose this image onto the political stage, where governments wield authority over their citizens, often employing similar tactics to maintain dominance.

At the core of this comparison lies the notion of power dynamics. Just as bullies seek to assert their dominance over others, governments, particularly those with centralized authority, hold significant sway over the lives of their citizens. Through laws, regulations, and enforcement mechanisms, they dictate the boundaries of acceptable behavior and exercise control over various aspects of society.

Furthermore, like bullies, governments may resort to coercion, manipulation, or even brute force to achieve their objectives. Whether through censorship, surveillance, or suppression of dissent, they instill fear and apprehension among the populace, discouraging opposition and dissent.

But perhaps the most troubling aspect of this comparison is the issue of accountability. Just as bullies often evade consequences for their actions, governments may operate with impunity, shielded from accountability by layers of bureaucracy and political maneuvering. Corruption, abuse of power, and violations of human rights can go unchecked, leaving citizens vulnerable to exploitation and injustice.

Consider the parallels between a bully's disregard for the rights and autonomy of their victims and a government's infringement upon the freedoms and dignity of its citizens. Both exhibit a blatant disregard for the principles of fairness, equality, and respect for individual rights.

In a world where governments wield immense power, the need for accountability is paramount in ensuring a just and equitable society for all. 

We may still be hoping for democratic principles, respect of human rights, and a government serving the interests of their citizens with integrity and transparency. 

But currently in 2024, we have more and more evidence of the specter of government overreach and abuse of power looms large, necessitating constant vigilance and accountability mechanisms to safeguard against tyranny.

The Red Pill dog

 Alright, listen up, pups, because this old dog has a bone to pick! I may not have opposable thumbs, but that doesn’t mean I’m a simpleton. In fact, I’ve learned a thing or two after years of chasing squirrels and napping in sunbeams. See, knowledge isn’t just about sniffing textbooks (though I wouldn’t mind sniffing a juicy steak one). It’s about real-world experience, and let me tell you, some creatures out there are textbook examples of…well, let’s just say they wouldn’t win any “good boy” awards.

(Ahem) Now, take those feline fiends, for instance. Ever met one who wasn’t at least a little narcissistic? I’m not talking your average, aloof alley cat. I’m talking the malignant ones, the purrfect manipulators. They waltz into your life, showering you with meows and head butts, all the while weaving a web of emotional blackmail you wouldn’t sniff out in a million years.

Then, the drama begins. Outbursts, unexplained disappearances, questionable midnight adventures. You, the loyal, devoted dog, are left bewildered, your tail tucked between your legs. All the while, the cat? Batting at yarn balls, basking in the sun, living their best life. They’ve drained your energy, your enthusiasm, leaving you a shadow of your former self. And for what? A few chin scratches and a can of tuna?

The truth is, pups, these felines don’t play by the same rules. They operate on a different moral compass, or lack thereof. They’re all about maximizing benefits, minimizing effort. Logic? Pish posh! Emotions? Only useful for manipulation. They move on faster than a squirrel on Red Bull, leaving you heartbroken and bewildered in the dust.

Now, I’m not saying all cats are evil. They just…don’t see the bigger picture. They’re like furry toddlers, demanding and self-absorbed. And if you dare question their reality? Well, prepare for a symphony of hisses and hairballs. They’ll bury you in an avalanche of self-serving nonsense until you just roll over and accept your fate.

So, there you have it, pups. A glimpse into the dark underbelly of the feline world. Remember, stay vigilant, stay loyal, and above all, stay true to your canine code. After all, who needs manipulative drama queens when you have the unconditional love and companionship of a good dog?

Private investigation

As usual 'Explore the fear'

Throughout the day, I engage in self-reflection, asking the pivotal question, "How do I feel?" This practice serves a dual purpose—acting as a reality check for my lucid dreaming journey and unveiling potential unease linked to deeper issues. Often, these concerns lurk in my subconscious. I then embrace silence, delving into contemplation to pinpoint the source of my discomfort. Once ready, I meticulously transcribe these thoughts onto paper until the distress dissipates, signaling my descent to the core of the issue.

Subsequently, I embark on questioning and challenging these thoughts and beliefs. Methodically, I flip them and visualize alternate scenarios, drawing inspiration from techniques I've acquired through Byron Katie's "The Work" and Teal Scott's "shadow house".

Then 'Uncover the belief'

When a thought inflicts emotional pain, I instinctively subject it to scrutiny, employing the probing inquiries from "The Work." I question its truth, explore my reactions when I embrace it, and keenly attend to my emotions. I've observed that if my thoughts revolve around "This should be different..." or "I want, need, should, or shouldn't...," I've hit a dead end. It signals a futile resistance to the reality of things. Through visualization exercises, I unearth an alternative perspective, experiencing a shift in emotions.

This process often unravels a concealed belief rooted in my past, a residue from childhood. It prompts me to initiate a clearing process, employing the recursive methodology of "The Work." The beauty lies in the unpredictable nature of this inquiry; each session unfolds with revelations I couldn't have anticipated at the outset.

Shadow work's essence lies in elevating awareness—becoming attuned to the thoughts governing my mind. It's an active stance against being deceived or passive in the face of the mental software I run.

March 2024

As we step into March 2024, the political landscape is already buzzing with anticipation. Head-to-head polls suggest a potential resurgence, predicting a victory for Trump (I sure hope this won't come to pass). 

The global stage is set for expectations of a ceasefire in Gaza, diplomatic breakthroughs in Ukraine, and a thrilling manned mission to the Moon, possibly on the brink of becoming a reality.

On the technological front, the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence takes center stage (Hello Sora!).

The imminent rise of quantum computing promises a groundbreaking shift in cyber security, providing an unprecedented defense against malicious hackers.

My predictions for 2024 are my own speculations; but they paint a vivid picture of a future where politics, global events, and technology intertwine to shape the course of our world. 

This dynamic year of the Dragon (2024), is the opportunity to witness the transformation of our culture, technology, science, health, and business sectors. 

I can't help feeling that something big is about to happen.

2024 is a leap year

I always wondered 'how we came up with 12 months of alternate 30 and 31 days, and the February with 28 days and every 4 years'. 

Who could have invented such a strange system like this? the Gregorian calendar.

There might be a better system with year was composed of 13 months of 28 days each for example

But it has its own unique set of pros and cons compared to the other wacky system of calendar we currently use.

Historically, the Gregorian calendar was adopted in 1582, this entire wacky system is loaded with  historical records, religious holidays tied to specific dates, and ingrained cultural traditions. The cost and complexity of such a global shift would be immense.

Anyway, with 364 days in a 13-month system, there is still the need to account the extra day every four years. That means that is not even doing much improvement on that front.

Well, there are other strange rules we are following without questioning them... The metric system, why is an hour composed of sixty minutes? these are questions that keep me up at night.

Forecast 2024 - Teal Swan

The above video is grim, 2024 is a pivotal year, and we will witness 'destruction lust' 

I mean sure, in today's world, a growing sense of despair and helplessness has fueled a desire for destruction and a destructive lust within many individuals. This overwhelming feeling stems from the looming threat of global warming and the perceived indifference of governments towards addressing this pressing issue. 

As the consequences of climate change become more evident and devastating, it is natural for people to experience frustration and anger. The lack of meaningful action to combat global warming has left many feeling powerless, pushing them towards destructive tendencies as a way to vent their frustration or gain a sense of control. 

However, it is crucial to channel these emotions into constructive avenues, such as advocating for change, raising awareness, and actively participating in initiatives that can make a positive impact on the environment. Only through collective efforts can we hope to combat global warming and pave the way for a sustainable future.
