Look back 500 years, 400 years, 100 years, even 50 years and you will see examples of world class, creative geniuses everywhere. Leonardo, Michelangelo, Shakespeare, Martin Luther, Newton, Copernicus, Galileo, Bach, Mozart, Benjamin Franklin, Madame Currie, Dostoyevsky, Nicola Tesla, Beethoven … The list goes on and on. Geniuses in every field of human endeavor, whose works changed the world, whose names will live forever.
But what will people 100 years from now or even 50 years from now see when they look back at our time? Where is our Beethoven?
We are pretty much at the peak of civilization – certainly as far as technology goes. The average idiot walks down the street carrying a device that connects to all the information in the world. We have the ability to communicate, instantly, with people everywhere, anytime. Someone in Tennessee has no problem talking to someone in Timbuktu. And not just talk – they can see each other on screen, send each other documents, conference with dozens of other people around the world at the same time – they can even hop a plane and meet in person in just a few hours. Imagine if Shakespeare could have done that.
There is also more wealth in the world, today, then at any other time in history. And, in terms of percentage of the population, there are fewer people in poverty than ever before.
It’s a golden age for many – or at least it should be – but there is something missing.
We haven’t had a real technological breakthrough since the Moon landing more than 50 years ago. “Art” has literally degenerated to someone throwing excrement at a canvas and framing it. Music, film and television is created by committees and focus groups. Authors are more concerned with the number of pronouns and acronyms they can use than in the story. And “educators” appear to base their curricula on insect or reptilian logic.
The flame of the World Soul is being extinguished.
In the past, creative people struggled to find information, patrons and audiences – how much could Van Gogh, Mozart, Tesla and others have benefited from the Internet? Current technology has solved many problems that hindered creators of the past. We also have excessive amounts of leisure and levels of comfort only the very rich could afford not too long ago.
And yet…
Where is our Beethoven? Our Shakespeare? Our Newton? Our Rembrandt? Our Einstein? Hell, where’s our Elvis?
It seems the fulfilment of needs such as information and leisure does not contribute to greatness. What powers genius is a connection to Spirit – and that is something technology can’t seem to give us.
Instead of a new Axial Ages or a new Renaissance the 21st century is a new Dark Age full of propaganda, conflict, pestilence and the Death of the human Spirit.
There’s a part of the Christmas story described in the Gospel of Luke that I always used to find strange and unrealistic. Luke says that at the time of Jesus’s birth, Augustus Caesar decreed that everyone in the Empire had to travel to their ancestral homeland to be enrolled for taxation. This is the reason Joseph and Mary had to journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem. That just seemed like a weird process and a total logistical nightmare. It’s not the kind of plan you’d expect from a large, powerful government organization.
Well, after seeing the governments of the world in action over the past year or so, the government behavior described in the Bible doesn’t seem all that peculiar, anymore. Politicians and heads of state have proven themselves to be total nutjobs, ready and willing to put into action any crackpot scheme the Reptilian Overlords propose.
Two thousand years from now, will anyone believe the insanity of 2021?
Anyway, I wish all of you the very best of the season. Let’s hope at least some of today’s politicians find some working brains in their Christmas stockings and stop acting like nonsensical, tyrannical two-year-olds.
May the Light, Life and Love of Divine Spirit fill your hearts and minds and bring you all good blessings for joy and Peace Profound throughout the coming year.
Your favorite mystic was a bit lazy last week and didn’t prepare a good post. Actually, not so much lazy as despondent. The political situation in the world has a way of bringing me down – although, it really needn’t do so.
It is true that the current occupant of the White House is a corrupt moron and likely to get the West into a shooting war, or worse – an economic war that turns Western nations into vassal states of certain Eastern powers. And the various, current, Prime Ministers of Canada, the U.K., New Zealand and, especially, Australia likewise appear to be corrupt morons and enemies of the people. The 27 unelected Commissars of the European Union, along with just about every elected (selected) President, Prime Minister and Chancellor of the European nations are no better and, in most cases, worse. As are the rest of the leaders of Asia, the Middle East, Africa, South America and all affiliated or non-affiliated islands and such. What can be said of the U.N., NATO, and the other dictatorial organizations that deem themselves in control of the world?
It’s not enough that they all seem to despise their own, individual, nations – they also seem to act with a collective agenda to crush the spirit of Humanity, in general, and, specifically, to destroy Western civilization.
This is not something we should find surprising; the Devil has been in control of all the kingdoms of the world for thousands of years. What’s different is that it seems like in the past 50 years or so, the efforts to subjugate humanity have been ramped up considerably.
Yet, we should not despair – least of all, your favorite mystic. We know all this, and we also know that the Earth itself belongs to God and all the human and, perhaps, non-human inhabitants on the planet that want a REAL life are welcome to enter the Kingdom of God – a Kingdom that is not of this world and, thus, is beyond the control of the Devil.
The political leaders are doing what they have to do to achieve their wicked goals – this should not concern us. Let them do what they must in the time available to them. Certainly we, on the path, must continue to exist IN the world – living and walking on the planet. However, spiritually, we should remain apart and not be OF the world.
Let them do their thing while we continue to do ours.
Let us seek first and with vigor the Kingdom of God and let all the rest work itself out.
The Rittenhouse trial illustrates something important – godless, left-wing loon strongholds like Kenosha should just be allowed to burn.
Maybe that sounds harsh, but if such communities are going to vote in, support, promote and defend lunatics capable of the insane behavior demonstrated by the rioters, looters and anarchists, those communities deserve to collapse. And if you don’t support that type of person or behavior, then you should do whatever you can to get the hell out of those places. Follow the example of John Galt (and if you don’t know who John Galt is, look him up.)
The corrupt media suggests that the looters, rioters and violent nutjobs are just expressing some leftist/democratic ideals of social justice. Not true. Do you think stuff like this happens in real leftist countries? Nope. Even in the heyday of Lenin and Mao, anarchists were in the minority. Communists have a political agenda – they want to destroy the old establishment and then set up a new one. BLM, Antifa and other crazy rioters just want to destroy – they have no desire to build anything and no desire to govern. They destroy for the pleasure of it. For them, rioting isn’t a means to an end – it is the end in itself.
Look at the biggest, most powerful Communist state in the world – China. Would looting and rioting be accepted there? No, it would not. Would perverse actions such as transvestites in clownish makeup telling sex stories to 8-year-olds in a public library be tolerated? No, it would not. Would pedophiles, rapists and drug dealers be praised as heroes? No, they would not. Would burning the national flag or kneeling during the national anthem be permitted? Not a chance.
Communist China is run by corrupt, degenerate, power hungry, ruthless, atheist scum bags, but they don’t put up with the so-called leftist crap Western radicals advocate and seem to get away with.
The Joe Biden’s of the world aren’t just corrupt scumbags, they are infected by a planetary Darkness that’s been around for thousands of years – a degenerative evil force that dominates the ungodly everywhere. The depraved politicians aren’t just leftist, liberals Marxists, socialist, communist, fascist, authoritarian globalists – they are worshippers of the Darkness.
In the Bible, the devil tempts Lord Jesus by offering all the kingdoms of the world in exchange for His worship. How could the devil make such an offer? Because the devil does indeed control the kingdoms of the world – back then and today. And politicians who claim to be Christian and therefor should know better, nevertheless have deliberately bent the knee to the Darkness.
Hollywood and the whole “entertainment” industry is also part of what the Bible calls “the synagogue of Satan.” And the so-called “news media” are the propaganda machine of the Darkness. Together they would urge even the servants of Light into the abyss.
Poor Kyle Rittenhouse thought he was doing his civic duty by stepping up to defend a community spiraling into the void. He was taken to task by everyone from the current president on down, put on trial for his life, and, although he was rightfully found not guilty, he still faces retribution by the agents of the Darkness. He should have let Kenosha fall. The people there made their choice. And we must, also, make our own.
Fall is another word for Autumn, the season before Winter. But that’s not what I’m talking about in this post – unless we count the Fall as the time leading up to the bleak, cold, brutal days before the end of a cycle.
The Fall I’m talking about is the fall of civilization – a time that could very well be upon us.
We are experiencing crazy ideologies sweeping the planet, twisting people’s minds and spirits; wars and civil unrest breaking out in every developed and undeveloped country; strange diseases and environmental catastrophes bringing on death and economic upheaval – and all manner of attacks on the time-honored beliefs, traditions and institutions that have advanced human society. What is the cause? What dark forces want the world to end? The world we grew up in? These can’t be readily named, but their representatives seem to have been active for a very long time and their efforts are achieving their end – the end of decency, hope and individual achievement and happiness.
Here’s a graphic example of the devastation of morality that’s befallen the West. In 1965, before the degrading influence of Globalization was championed by almost every world leader and celebrity, pornography for the average teenager consisted of underwear ads in the Sears Catalogue. Today, gay, cannibalistic pedophile porn is an option for just about anyone of any age with access to the Internet. This isn’t some accident or unforeseen side effect of technology – the obliteration of social normality, self-esteem and a basic view of morals is the clear objective of the dark forces working for cultural dominance.
This degradation isn’t being brought on by the traditional enemies of the West, by anti-capitalist nations – countries that advocate communism, fascism, totalitarianism, etc. strongly oppose this degeneracy and mock the West for tolerating it. It is also condemned by both Orthodox Christianity and Islam: two opposing religions that now find themselves facing a common enemy – demon inspired Globalism.
It is the ungodly billionaire class that is bringing on the degradation and fall of the West from right within our own society.
For 500 years, those who sought personal prosperity were responsible for building the civilized world we know – Technology, medicine, industry, security were all advanced by those seeking individual wealth and power. The benefits generated by the achievements of the prosperous included the freedom, security and opportunity enjoyed by the average person living in a Western nation. No more. Now, it seems that most of those who have made it to the top and enjoy extraordinary financial success, the ones who advocate for Globalism, are pulling the ladders up after them so no one else can make the climb and are pouring hot, liquid degeneracy down upon the rest of us – the way feudal lords would pour burning oil down on enemies trying to breach the walls of their castle. The old billionaire class at least pretended to be godly to preserve the social order – the new billionaires are blatantly anti-religious and if they secretly worship a spirit its something like Moloch and Abaddon. They have nothing but contempt for the middle-class and all euro-Christian values and traditions. Thus, for them, it has become a pleasure to corrupt the masses.
Look, there is nothing wrong with wanting to improve your lot in life – to advance your position in society. There’s nothing wrong with seeking prosperity and wealth. But, as we say, what benefit do you get from gaining the whole world if in the process you lose your soul?
We have to wake up. Although it is true that foreign powers are actively seeking our destruction, the real threat to our way of life and the most likely cause of the Fall of Western civilization is from the people who are supposed to be our leaders. These degenerate forces are the cancer cells destroying our body from within. To stop the spread of this malignancy we must strengthen our immune system by bathing in the radiance of the Love of Divine Spirit and resist the temptations offered by the New World Order.
In Arthurian legend, it is said that “the King and the Land are one.” If the King is sick, demented or evil then the Land will be despoiled. If the King is right, just and true then the Land will prosper.
Look around at the world today and consider the leadership. Not only have the various Globalist presidents, prime ministers, premiers, etc. separated themselves spiritually from the people they are supposed to represent, they have also separated themselves physically – they do not consider themselves part of the Land at all.
Globalists do not accept borders, therefore the see no countries. With no countries, there are no nationalities. With no nationalities, there are no citizens. With no citizens, there are no rights. And with no rights, there is no FREEDOM. To the Globalists, people exist only at the discretion of their so-called leaders.
It should, of course, be the other way around – elected leaders should hold office at the discretion of the people, they should be the Servants of the people not their Masters. Leaders are supposed to protect the God-given rights of the people and defend the Land – just as a shepherd protects the flock from the wolf. Instead, they have made us the spoils of creatures that seek our destruction.
The false leaders often make a show of patriotism and claim that their vile, authoritarian dictates are implemented for the good of the people and the good of the land.
These people are NOT patriots.
Patriots have a connection to, and a strong belief in, the land, the people and the principles that founded the Nation. Patriots act out of a commitment to the cultures, tradition and values of the communities that thrive under a National identity. Patriots are foremost citizens of a well-defined Nation and as citizens they seek to protect and preserve the rights and privileges inherent in that Nation.
(I will stipulate that it is possible to be patriotic without occupying or controlling the nation you hold allegiance to – a population in exile can still be patriotic concerning the founding principles of the nation with which they identify.)
Now, since Globalists do not believe in Nations or even citizens (“citizen of the world” is a cartoonish construct) they cannot be patriots.
Globalists have no love or regard for land, people, culture, customs, traditions or national identity. Globalists divide the world into servants and masters – and even the most inane celebrity Globalist does not identify with the servant class. A Globalist leader will always sell out the people of the land they are supposed to represent to the Luciferian world view that they actually serve.
True patriots must constantly oppose and resist the Globalist ideology that is spreading like a virus around the world or risk becoming merely a serf in the New World Order.
Two interesting things happen in the book “The Day of the Triffids” written by John Wyndham in 1951 – interesting from our current perspective in the age of Covid.
First, an unusual plant is found growing in the wild. The plant, known as a Triffid, is a tall, leafy vegetable that spits poison and eats animal flesh. Although extremely dangerous, the plant produces a high-quality vegetable oil and so it is farmed extensively. No one knows exactly where Triffids come from, but it is speculated that it was bioengineered in a Soviet lab (this is written in the 1950’s) and somehow escaped or was intentionally released into the wild. Why would a research facility deliberately create and then let loose a dangerous biohazard on the world? Who knows what the Communists might have been planning? After being farmed quite profitably for awhile, something else is discovered about the Triffids: they are able to uproot themselves and move about on their own.
Well, before this development can be studied, the second thing happens. A strange meteor shower sending sparks of green light into the atmosphere astounds the world. The shower lasts long enough so that everyone on Earth who wants to witness it can do so. And, of course, most people around the world, fascinated by the green flares, watch the phenomenon intensely. The next day, everyone who observed the display wakes up permanently blind. And concurrently a strange plague infects the world killing millions. It is speculated that the Soviets had something to do with this meteor shower: that it wasn’t a meteor at all, but a satellite containing biohazardous material and strange manufactured diseases that exploded and fell to the Earth. Again, was this deliberate or accidental? No one knows and no one can verify it because at this point civilization pretty much collapses.
With most of the world blind or suffering from a plague, there is no one guarding the Triffid farms. The Triffids escape and rampage the planet feeding on the helpless humans. The only easy way to stop a Triffid is to burn it up with a flame thrower. However, few are left who can aim it, and there’s no way to get fuel. In fact, supplies of everything, including food, quickly run out not just in urban areas but even in farming communities since most people are blind and can’t work equipment, harvest anything or transport anything. It is the Day of the Triffids.
With so much chaos, authority ceases to function and humans form competing bands of scavengers trying to avoid the Triffids and get control of the few remaining resources.
It is a bleak picture.
Nothing like what we’re facing with Covid, of course. But what if something more deadly is developed in some Communist lab and “accidently” unleashed on the world? What if one of the thousands of satellites now orbiting the Earth, most of which have purposes unknown to the general public, should become weaponized and strikes the population? What will we do?
Covid has shown us that governments are useless at protecting populations and spiritually blind populations can’t appreciate the dangers all around them. The fact that the government response to crisis is simply to restrict freedom and enforce more dictatorial control over people, should make everyone concerned. It doesn’t appear to. If a true pandemic hits, whether planned (a “plandemic”) or the result of an accident, a disease that kills more than 2% of the people it infects and infects everyone, will the mask finally fall off the so-called leaders of the world? Will we finally see them for what they truly are – ruthless, power mad, despots? (I won’t say demonic – but you know what I mean.)
We aren’t likely to face Triffids – or zombies, aliens or any other sci fi tropes – but we will certainly face wars, famines and plagues. Hopefully, these won’t be the work of our own governments seeking to consolidate their strangle hold on their own people.
