Wisdom in the Spirit, Love in the Soul, Strength in the Will. These shall guide me. These shall hold me. In them I trust. To them I devote my life.

“System follows incentives, not intentions” — is powerful, precisely because it is partly true, but becomes misleading when treated as a total principle. This statement feels true while in many real-world systems, especially economic ones: - behavior does tend to align with incentives - repeated patterns emerge regardless of personal values - individuals adapt to survive within constraints So one get observations like: - companies optimize for profit - workers optimize for income/security - institutions optimize for metrics From this level, the statement captures something real: Systems tend to stabilize behaviors around what is rewarded. That’s not wrong. It becomes reductionist and making problems arise when this is turned into a universal law: “Intentions don’t matter — only incentives do.” At that point, something essential is removed: - the human being as a source of initiative - the capacity to reinterpret a situation - the possibility of acting against incentives This is exactly what Steve Keen critiques: Economic “laws” often become self-reinforcing assumptions rather than empirically complete descriptions of reality. The hidden assumption behind the statement assumes: The human being is a reactive agent inside a system. Meaning: incentives → behavior input → output This is a mechanistic model of the human. But this model only holds if: - thinking is passive - choice is limited to predefined options - the “I” is not actively engaged The missing dimension is therefore the HOW. While even if incentives exist: The decisive question is not that we respond but HOW we respond. Two people in the same system: - same incentives - same constraints → can act completely differently Why? Because of: - perception - interpretation - inner stance The statement can be refined into three layers: Level 1 — Mechanical (partial truth) Systems follow incentives ✔ Predictable behavior ✔ Useful for modeling ✖ Ignores human depth Level 2 — Human (more complete) Humans interpret incentives incentives are not commands they are read, filtered, re-shaped Level 3 — Spiritual / cognitive The quality of thinking determines the response to incentives If thinking is: - rigid → behavior becomes predictable - alive → behavior becomes creative The statement becomes dangerous when absolutized, since it leads to: - system design that assumes humans are programmable - policies that replace responsibility with control - environments that erode initiative It quietly says: “Don’t rely on people — engineer the incentives.” And over time, this produces exactly what we increasingly see today: a de-souled system, where human intention is no longer expected to matter It would however be inaccurate to say: - incentives don’t matter - systems don’t shape behavior They do, and well very strongly, but: They do not fully determine behavior. A more accurate formulation would therefore be: Systems channel behavior through incentives — but they do not determine how human beings respond to them. Or even sharper: Incentives shape tendencies. Thinking (and chosen inner stance as well as motivation) determines response. Such a statement however has its power from an environment where capital and capital accumulation as a goal is normalized. The plasticity of thinking, which actually conceives of, and largely determines economic understanding, is itself a real economic factor. One however not fully taken into account, creating hereby one of the first distortions of economic understanding and interpretation of reality. The impact of thinking on the economy is real, not only through inventions, creativity and the capacity to organize, to envision, to create productions, etc, is therefore very real. But the way thinking is handled (as a product of the brain or not) impacts: - rigid thinking → rigid systems → systemic fragility - living thinking → adaptive response → systemic resilience The inversion, therefore is, instead of: “System follows incentives” One could say: Systems reflect the quality of thinking that designs them. And therefore: If thinking changes, systems can reconfigure. This means “System follows incentives, not intentions” needs contextualization: “System follows incentives” is true — but only within a model that has already reduced the human being to a reactive unit. And then we can reopen the field: The moment thinking becomes active, perceptive, and mobile, the system is no longer the final determinant.

There are "dark", secret societies running the world. It is hard to pinpoint who they are and where they are. It is hard to pinpoint, first of all, because the same "darkness" is running through us all. We seek a physical group or physical causation to pinpoint, but the reality is that "evil", if left all too unchecked, runs through the human soul. This of course, is less convenient. But as long as we believe that a physical group must be located, and given the blame, we're controlled. The very believe that all causation lies in the physical realm is itself part of the control "program". The Ahrimanic impulse denies spiritual causation. It tends to deny the spiritual at all. And partially good so, while it shapes human responsibility. But the ultimate responsibility is to understand the mechanisms of evil. For that, the way in which the good proceeds must be known as well. The Satanic impulses make evil into good, and good into evil. They pervert and invert, so it becomes difficult discern, what is actually good, and what is evil. The groups in which the Satanic impulses concentrate do certainly exist, but they gain their power from the masses' refusal to consider the spiritual planes in a perceptive and cognizant manner. Thinking, feeling, and willing are perverted, so that reality is blurred out. The Double, namely the heritage of the Fall, is being fed, through pharmaceuticals, through engineered foods, through soul-less media, so as to amplify the Fall. Today there is no way out without understanding and experiencing the spiritual background of the world. This spiritual background however is hidden in plain sight.

@origina1ange1 Blessed! 🙏

Going through some pretty intense things in life right now (not necessarily bad….but intense) and my Grandie drove ten hours to surprise me for my birthday and stay for the week. She has always been there for me. After I was born, I was extremely sick and had to spend months in the ICU. She taped a photo of newborn me to a flash card, wrote a prayer on it and stuck in on my incubator. She prayed for me every day. I had a difficult childhood, and she was always my saving grace! I never felt more safe and more loved than when we were together. It was hard, because I lived in Massachusetts, and she lived in Florida. She would usually come visit over the summer, and when it was time for her to leave, I would cling to her legs (sobbing) and beg her not to go because I knew that things would get really hard again when I didn’t have her to protect and support me. She hasn’t always agreed with some of my choices in life, but she has always supported me and loved me unconditionally. When I was a drug-addicted teenager, she would journal extensive prayers about me every day, praying for my protection, and for God to guide me. She is always praying. That is a trait that I have that I know I got from her. Last night, she wasn’t feeling well. I sat on the guest bed with my hand on her leg while she was all tucked in, and we talked and talked. Mostly about God, and the miracles we have experienced in our lives by the grace of God. She told me a story I have heard countless times before—but never ceases to amaze me—about when she prayed to God and begged to be taken off the path she had been on. Christ appeared to her, and took her into a large field with yellow flowers. She knew that, in this vision, she was a little girl….maybe 7, maybe 8. He held her hand and they spoke. She does not remember what they spoke of, but she was there with him for exactly 3 hours. When she came out out of the vision, and looked down at her hands, they were translucent. She said, “I glowed.” Her entire body glowed in rainbow, which lasted until she eventually got up to go see it in the mirror. She saw it for a split second, and then returned to normal. After this experience, her life was never the same. After my overdose and near death experience in 2011, she was the first person I wanted to speak with! I couldn’t wait to tell her what God had done in my heart, in my life. I knew that, out of everyone, she would be the one who would understand. She wrote me letters the entire time I was in rehab. When I got out, she bought me my first car! She never held my past against me. She has always encouraged me in my future. I can’t believe she is almost 80 years old now! She is still so active, so talkative, so full of life. I hugged her before bed last night, and she wouldn’t let go, even when I tried. I made sure to squeeze her extra hard, and truly relish in every moment I have left with her on this earth. She has always loved me so unconditionally, and I feel that I know so much about what love is because of her example. Anyway, just feeling very positively emotional after stumbling upon this photo of us. My heart is truly overwhelmed with all of the incredible people that God has consistently surrounded me with and placed in my life. I am so thankful, and humbled by such an experience. What a tremendous gift and responsibility—to both give and receive such love! Barukh Hashem 💗

He's not just defending AI energy use. He is smuggling in a whole anthropology where humans are basically inefficient meat computers that you have to pour food and years into before they become useful. And once you accept that, the next move is obvious. If people are just costly biological training runs, then burning mountains of electricity to build synthetic intelligence starts to feel not only equal, but superior, even if it negatively impacts actual humans. That is the dystopian. It makes human development sound like a bug in the system, and it makes sacrificing human and creational flourishing for more computational power sound logical. To him, the grid gets strained, prices go up, ecosystems get hit, but hey, humans eat too, so what's the difference? The difference is that humans aren't an inefficient line item. They're the point. If your worldview can look at a child growing into an adult and describe it as energy spent to train intelligence, you haven't said something profound. You've revealed a horrifically rotten worldview.

The need for control is often even more insidious than the drive for power. It can easily be masked as “boundaries” or “self-protection,” but boundaries do not seek to silence or destroy other people. True boundaries preserve mutual dignity, not just personal dignity. Self-protection that is rooted in integrity leaves room for things like understanding, compassion and respect. Control, on the other hand, is founded on self-interest. It often undermines autonomy, honor, and even humanity. Unconscious shame mutates into ego-driven dominance. Because its initial gestation period results as a symptom of survival, shame often pollutes once-integrous leadership, similar to a parasitic infection. The lower self is sometimes spoken of within classical occultism as “the personality double.” Think, Jekyll and Hyde. This is because whatever remains unconscious within the self has the potential to eventually hijack the “will” of its host. Our “will” is a facet of our “I” and arises out of integration. Unconscious pain or trauma is essentially a fragment of the self, as it represents that which has gone forgotten or “unclaimed” within us. Whatever is unconscious or unclaimed will remain fragmented and will not be transmuted— often keeping us in survival states, however unconscious they may be. This actually appears as a type of “inflammation” of the astral body, overshadowing the true self. This is also sometimes referred to as the “Not-Self.” Chronic survival states ultimately result in ego “disorders of inflammation” such as narcissism, control, pride, envy, jealousy, etc. It isn’t these symptoms alone that are necessarily problematic, it is when they are bypassed, unclaimed, or projected onto other people that they begin to infect the “will” and compromise our integrity.

The elites have access to the spirit. "The people" are blocked from having access to the spirit. Conspiracy theories are there to block access to the spirit. Conspiracy theories give the impression they give access to the spirit, because they stand for a wakeup. But all they do, is giving access to the devil's kitchen. They portray the world as fundamentally evil, hiding thereby humanity's true progress. For sure much needs to be corrected, while indeed much is wrong or crooked. But besides outrage and indignation, not much is offered in terms resolution or positive change. On the contrary, the naive, almost childish stance that if say "the bad guys" would be locked up, that then all would be solved. In fact, it is the hallmark of savant distraction, to keep people in the endless loop of indignation, around sensational topics. By feeding in sensationalism, a veil is in fact created over reality, leading humanity into the 8th sphere. While no real change is initiated, which would require a new analysis, and new acts of will. Right now, it is the old that seeks to perpetuate itself. This is what unfortunately is maintained and reinforced. A kind of thinking is brought on, which created the problems in the first place. Much talk about "raising vibrations", 5D and rapture -magical, illusionary tricks in fact, smoke that seductively distracts- but facing current problems head-on, is nowhere to be seen. If the scientific paradigm is questioned, it is done so by mixing in fantastic views, yet dismantling its errors to replace them by corrections, seems not of the party. Sensationalism, namely the astral body, drives thinking. The spirit is not yet freed on the side of "the people." That's why it is still the agenda which is served..

There is a kind of suffering that should not exist. And recognizing this is not weakness — it is moral clarity. Not all suffering is the same. Some suffering belongs to becoming human: resistance that awakens strength, limits that call forth creativity, trials that can be met and transformed by the “I.” But there is another kind of suffering — and it is this second kind that many people instinctively revolt against: • early childhood trauma • abandonment without protection • addiction environments imposed on the young • meaningless cruelty • pain that fragments the soul instead of educating it This suffering does not deepen the human being. It damages the very conditions under which becoming is possible. And here is a crucial point rarely stated clearly: Christ does not justify this kind of suffering. Much of popular Christianity quietly does. It spiritualizes pain, explains it away, or folds it into “God’s plan.” But from a spiritual-scientific perspective, that is a distortion. If suffering were simply necessary, the Incarnation would not have been needed. The Christ-being enters evolution because something has gone wrong. Christ does not come to explain suffering. He comes because suffering has exceeded its rightful place. At the Mystery of Golgotha, something unprecedented occurs: A divine being enters unjust suffering — not karmically deserved, not pedagogical, not meaningful in itself. Christ does not suffer instead of humanity. He suffers with humanity precisely where suffering has become illegitimate. This is why Christ stands closest to: • the abandoned • the violated • the crushed • children • those whose pain cannot be redeemed by explanation Christ’s suffering is not a lesson. It is a cosmic protest against suffering that should not exist. This also clarifies the difference between Christ and karma. Karma works through consequence, balance, learning across lives. But Christ is not a karmic accountant. Where karma says: “This has causes,” Christ says: “This must not have the last word.” Christ interrupts karmic chains. He introduces grace into law — not by erasing responsibility, but by preventing destruction from becoming destiny. This matters greatly today, because we live in an age where suffering is increasingly nihilistic in character. Suffering that teaches nothing. Pain that dissolves meaning. Destruction without transformation. This is not simply Ahrimanic hardening or Luciferic excess. It carries a soratic quality — anti-evolutionary, anti-incarnational, hostile to becoming itself. Against this, Christ does not intervene from above. He plants a counter-force inside the human I. That counter-force is the capacity to stand in the presence of unjust suffering and say — without illusion and without despair: “This shall not define the human future.” This is not consolation. It is moral resistance. And it explains something important: Those who revolt most strongly against needless suffering are often not weak, naïve, or immature. They are often souls who still remember — consciously or unconsciously — that the world is not meant to be like this. Telling such souls that their suffering is “necessary,” “chosen,” or “meant to be” can wound them a second time. Christ does not ask them to accept their suffering. He stands with them against what wounded them. Not to explain it. Not to justify it. But to ensure that destruction does not become the final truth of the world. This is why Christ no longer intervenes by overriding humanity. After Golgotha, healing must arise through human beings — through awakened moral presence, protection, witness, and resistance to what should not be. That is the tragedy of our time. And also its dignity. Christ does not explain unjust suffering. He enters it so that it may be overcome — not endured.

manager was asking about performance review so I sent him this

Let’s follow a certain logic all the way through — not morally, but economically. A 6-unit building is bought for $240k. Rents cover the mortgage. Four years later it sells for $450k. On paper: $210k “created.” But what actually happened? No new goods were produced. No new services added. No increase in real productive capacity. The “gain” came entirely from price inflation of an essential good — shelter. That’s not value creation. It’s value extraction. Now multiply this across millions of properties. Housing becomes a store of value rather than a social utility. Price increases feed on themselves. Speculation replaces production. This is not a market malfunction — it’s a structural feedback loop. Here’s the hidden effect: That $210k “gain” is now treated as real wealth — used as collateral, reinvested, leveraged again. But nothing new entered the real economy except higher costs for everyone else. So where does the expanding money supply actually come from? From debt backed by rising asset prices — not from increased productive capacity. This inflates asset values while quietly hollowing out purchasing power. The result is paradoxical: • More money in circulation • Less affordability • Higher “wealth” alongside declining economic freedom This isn’t inflation by excess demand — it’s inflation by structural misallocation. The real question is not how to restrain markets, but how money should enter the system in the first place. What should justify new money creation? • Productive work? • Ecological regeneration? • Social infrastructure? • Human development? If money were created in relation to actual value creation — not asset appreciation — we wouldn’t need perpetual debt expansion to keep the system alive. The current model requires continuous distortion just to survive. This is why the housing crisis, inequality, and monetary instability are the same problem. They are symptoms of a system that mistakes extraction for productivity. The real question is no longer how to grow the economy — but how to redesign money so it serves life, rather than feeding on it.

Steiner overturns our habitual, almost unconscious modern assumptions about what a body is and what sensing actually does. 1. The reversal of the “obvious” picture Modern physiology assumes something like this: - Food → body → energy - Senses → information → consciousness In other words: substances build the body, and senses merely inform the mind. Steiner turns this picture inside out. He points out that in the living organism—especially visible in the cow—the sense organization is not primarily about perception, and the digestive system is not merely about nutrition. Instead, two cosmic streams cross in the living being: - Through digestion: earthly substance becomes bearer of cosmic formative forces. - Through the senses: cosmic forces draw in earthly substance. This is already a radical inversion. 2. The sense-organs as substance-organizers When Steiner says that the senses are not merely “windows to the world,” he means something very literal and physiological: - The senses are active organs of incorporation. - They are places where the world enters into the organism, not only as impressions or information, but as formative influence. The senses are metabolic organs in a subtle sense. This is why, for example, the eye is not merely a camera but a highly differentiated metabolic organ — constantly rebuilding itself, transforming matter, and standing in a continuous exchange with light as a real force. So when Steiner says that through the senses “earthly substances” enter, he is pointing to the fact that perception itself participates in shaping the body. The organism does not just eat with its mouth — it feeds through perception. This is also why sense deprivation, sensory chaos, or overstimulation have such profound physiological consequences. 3. The polarity: digestion vs. perception Therefore it is crucial to point out the polarity: - Digestion: Earthly substances are taken in and spiritualized — they are lifted into life processes and formative forces. - Perception: Cosmic forces are taken in and densified — they are brought down into bodily substance. In other words: Digestion spiritualizes matter. Perception materializes spirit. This is profoundly counterintuitive, but once seen, it reorganizes how one understands the human being. The body is not a closed biochemical machine. It is a meeting point between above and below, cosmos and earth, spirit and substance. 4. Why this matters today This is especially important today because modern culture reduces the senses to: - passive receptors, - neurological inputs, - sources of “stimuli.” But if the senses are actually organs of world-incarnation, then what we expose ourselves to matters on a much deeper level than psychology or taste. Images, sounds, rhythms, environments, technologies — all of these shape our substance, not just our thoughts. This also explains why: - excessive abstraction dries people out, - digital overstimulation produces exhaustion, - and why contact with living form, rhythm, and natural gesture restores vitality. Not because of “information,” but because of how substance and force are being woven through the senses.

“Am I being kind, or am I avoiding tension?” You may think you are emotionally intelligent for avoiding tension when the actual intelligent act is to confront it and risk friction. If your silence leaves behind resentment, fatigue, or passive aggression, you have your answer.

@JohnLeFevre Gratitude matters. But the tragedy isn’t that billions work hard. It’s that systems were designed where effort is decoupled from dignity and mobility. That’s not fate. That’s architecture..

The thing about success is that true success cannot be measured by numbers or material achievements because true success is a condition and state of the heart. Being in love, with God, with your life, with the very act of being alive. Being transformed in Christ. Becoming a vehicle for grace. This state cannot be otherwise replicated, only parodied. Those who cannot naturally attain these states for themselves (due to self blockages) will try to nurse their wounds and insecurities by hyperfixating on income, following, class, appearance, power, reach, etc. These things only act to deter one from the true path of the heart. Nothing we do or accomplish will amount to anything within the Spiritual realm if it is not done with love, in love, and for love!

Checking whether you are doing better/worse than someone is constricting yourself to a narrow view of reality where resources are finite and life is zero-sum. This attitude fades away once you internalize the truth that you have an infinite universe filled with resources, opportunities, and blessings directly accessible to you. There is more than enough for everyone.

"Eventually all human evil springs from what we call selfishness. From the smallest human faults to the most immense crimes, when considering what we can designate as human imperfection and human wickedness, the common basic characterization will be egotism. We find the actual meaning of evil in human selfishness; and all striving to rise above imperfections and evil can be seen as commitment to fight against what we call selfishness. There has been much contemplation on this or that ethical principle, about these or other moral foundations; exactly this diving deeper into ethical principles and into moral foundations shows that selfishness is the common basis of all human evil. Man works himself out of evil here in the physical world, inasmuch as he overcomes egotism. . . . And if man gains nothing else [in physical life], at least one [commits to] conquer this one thing: to see one's own evil and one's own imperfections with endless clarity. We must look upon ourselves in such a way that we can become unselfish in the physical world, that is to say, moral. . . . One must enter into the spirit world without selfishness; or rather one cannot enter without selfishness—which each of us who enters into the spiritual world must painfully acknowledge. One must have all selfishness so objectively before one, that one sees one's own selfishness, to which one is bound in the outer world. One must also consider how to become an unselfish person using the means of the physical life, because one no longer has the opportunity in the spiritual world to become unselfish . . .When we go through the gate of death into the spiritual world, we must live there with what is present as strength in our inner being. But we cannot achieve this if we cannot achieve this through selfless life in the physical world. . . . Goethe let something be said in his Faust that shows how a human being can lose their way away from the spirit. Mankind's distance from the spirit world is set out paradigmatically with the words: 'Whoever wants to know and describe the living, Tries first of all to drive out the spirit, Then he has the parts in his hand, Except, sadly! only their spiritual bond is missing.' So, this is how things lie in a certain way for all knowledge of the world. It was the destiny of mankind to devote itself to parts for a few centuries. But ever more and more, one will perceive the absence of the spiritual bond as not only a theoretical deficiency, but as a tragedy of the soul. Therefore, spiritual researchers must today look into the soul overall, which the majority of souls do not know how to do themselves: and catch sight of the longing for the spirit world. And if we set our eyes upon something, such as illuminating the nature of evil and of wickedness, then perhaps we may extend Goethe's remark. . . . Goethe thought that whoever wants to strive for a world view, should not stop at parts alone, but must see the spiritual bond above all. Whoever approaches the riddle of evil and wickedness should [have a] persuasion in accordance with [Goethe's] findings: 'Whoever does not solve the soul riddle, Remains in the simple light of the senses; Whoever wants to understand life Must strive towards spirit heights!' " --R. Steiner, GA063, Berlin, 1914

After the first two Beatitudes, there's the third: "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." Here's a Rosicrucian take on it: "Meekness is the absolute courage which does not want to force and cannot force, by virtue of a person's inner state. Courage, as understood in nature, is always forcing and often the result of passion. With this kind of courage, one is like a burglar. It is disruptive and destructive. But the courage that originates from the order of the Spirit of Jesus Christ is the result of a renewed balance of the will. He who is meek is not craving for dazzling and sudden success because he knows that the lustre of such success soon fades. He who is meek does not become disheartened when the result of his work fails to come, or when his field of work is beset by satanic driving forces, for behind everything he sees is the ultimate attainment of his aim shining as a sun which never sets. Therefore, he continues with a quiet, unfailing courage as one who walks the path and pursues his aim without concerning himself about the initial dialectical result. Courage born of a renewed spirit is always impersonal, is devoid of any criticism, and is never stopped by inconsequentialities. . . . If people say, 'My goodness, how drab it looks in your field of work,' the meek one will answer, 'You are right. It could hardly appear more so,' but with even more determination, he pursues his task. He does not lose heart because behind all the problems, he sees the ultimate victory. He shall inherit the earth. He pays no attention to good or bad rumours, to what is thought about him and his work, if one cries or laughs, to whatever the reaction to his work is, nor what is done with it or made out of it. He shall inherit the earth. Like a still flame the meek one keeps 'burning' in the name of eternity, and the consolation of Christ is the fuel that flows to him with a steady regularity. The meek one in the sense of the Spirit is of an entirely different stature. When the classical enemy attacks his working field and reduces his accomplishments to a caricature, sowing tares among the wheat, the meek one differs in his struggle and his strategy from the one who is merely bolstered by the courage of nature. A meek man is impersonal, i.e., he does not attack the enemy nor is he time-bound. Heedless of evil and its suggestions, he redoubles his energy. Against and over the disharmony of nature he shows the harmony of the divine realm of Light. . . . The Hebrew letter 'Vau' signifies that there is a power which causes a separation between virtue and vice; that there exists a divine law accompanying the Light which, by virtue of its being, separates in an impersonal way the wicked and untrue from the virtuous and true. If that which is true should fight that which is untrue, it would then link with evil; in the pupil a binding would be established between him and this [dialectical] nature, and he would ultimately be kept from his work and go astray in the whirl of time. But now as a true pupil. . . . aflame as a candle in the universal Temple, animated by the principle of 'no reaction' . . . . [f]ight your battle with the lighted fire of impersonal love. Never force anything; don't be aggressive. Let the miracle of victory be accomplished by meekness. 'Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the Kingdom.' " --J.V. Rijckenborgh, The Mystery of the Beatitudes

Holy places are not holy simply because they are deemed so, but because a certain space has been created to preserve holiness. This is why physical sanctification rituals were expected of apostles, temple fathers, oracles/prophets, and elders. When humanity was ripe for it, we began to understand that these physical rituals were simply there to prepare us for initiation into an internal sanctification—a certain Spiritualization—that we had not known prior to the event of Christ on the cross, also known as the Mystery of Golgotha. This Spiritualization is now know as the Etherization of the Blood, and represents the sanctification of our form through deep inner transformation. Christ is at the epicenter of this transformation, only The Christ is no longer an external figure and event, but an internal impulse for us to embody within ourselves. It is through this process that we ourselves become holy beings occupying holy spaces, as our journey from the lower nervous system (chronic sympathetic states associated with survival states, the unprocessed shadow, and the lower astral or subnatural realms) into the Higher nervous system (anchoring into chronic parasympathetic states which open the nervous system & allow it to extend into the etheric to commune with Higher forces & angelic beings) acts as Jacob’s Ladder, exposing us to Higher “dimensions.” These dimensions are not to be mistaken as material realities, or misunderstood as moving through a “simulation.” Rather, they represent our ability to resonate spiritually (through Etherization of the Blood) with beings that operate on the same level of consciousness that we are currently operating on. The New Age often refers to this as “5D,” and the misconception here is that resonance is a momentary experience that is immediately responsive to our thoughts, feelings & emotions. In actuality, our resonance changes over time with consistent exposure to either Angelic beings, or to the subnatural planes. Our nervous system acts as a conductor for the planes that we operate in, and as we draw that energy in, it directs the “direction” of our etherization. When this process is inverted, I refer to it as “reverse” Etherization. Instead of Spiritualizing our form through deep purification and transformation, we traumatize it further by circulating our pain, trauma, and wounding—essentially “soaking” the nervous system in the shadow and therefore deepening its connection with the subnatural planes. With this in mind, it is easy to understand why our moral development and the development of “holy” states of being are so important.

Crypto is… Desperate gamblers chasing their first bag. Investors funding the buildout of the global casino. Bankers hypnotizing the masses to collect their vig. …all meaningless and ephemeral without the cypherpunks, who defend the dream of encrypted and unstoppable cash.

We've been shown how to become decent to one another. We start with ourselves. If I can't hear you honestly in the truth of what you're saying without a reflex opinion about it, I don't hear you. I'm only hearing myself. The ego is a task. Gautama Buddha taught us compassion and gave us tools for self-mastery. The Christ path of sword-like love is meant to tame the human ego, once and for all. His death and resurrection are a primer on sacrificing selfish preoccupations that tether us to wanting. Pointing fingers or looking "out there" for answers is a distraction. We've been taught that shouldering our own ego work like He did is a personal responsibility. He is our textbook. Perceiving and accepting what that means is the Second Coming. That can lead to a personal decision to stop blaming others for the world's misery--and get to work. No pride or triumph in what follows. No winning. There's only the necessary turn toward diligent, ongoing self-reckoning, demanding time and focus until the end of our days.

Woe is not me. When the outcomes you get from your circumstances are not what you desire, it is easy to fall into self-pity, believing that you’re accursed and that things never work out for you. You take on a victim frame, a defeated state to operate from and life reflects this state back to you. You should take solace in the fact that your outcomes are reproducible—your inputs led to those outcomes. Thus, you have the power to alter your circumstances to whatever you want them to be. With that understanding, you can then adjust your internals—the thoughts you feed yourself and dwell on, the visions you have, the emotions you entertain, and how you view yourself. Then gradually, your actions will embody desirable inputs, and your outputs will thus be desirable. In life, there are a lot of things that we don’t have control over, but your self is free real estate—you can tune it into whatever you want it to be. It takes Herculean effort and I believe this is the hardest task you could ever undertake, but it is worth every sweat, tear and blood.
