Gnostic Panentheism

My metaphysics is gnostic panentheism, in that all manifested existence is a projection of one supreme consciousness that projects autonomous extensions of itself, each endowed with a locus of consciousness & freewill, & each fractally capable of projecting further sub-extensions (up to a point).
 

These extensions interact with each other freely within the universal thought-space of the supreme mind. This space is nonphysical, closer to what occultists call the spirit realm, Kingdom of Heaven, or higher astral plane. There’s no entropy, limitation, or physics there...


At some point, one or more of these aeonic fragments chose to create a sub-reality with such limitations. It created a demiurge (egregore/thoughtform) by using its own energy (or portion of the astral environment) & programming it with math, geometry, & the laws of physics.


This rigidly programmed astral energy field or thoughtform is identically the etheric plane, which is a precursor matrix (womb of generation) of physicality. Other fragments could bind themselves with this demiurge, thereby being coordinated by its psychic grip into a shared reality. Like personal computers logging into a game server to run a shared game environment.


So here we are in a sub-creation of greater creation, created by sub-creators of the true creator. We’re held in the psychic grip of a massive thoughtform that coordinates our individual “dreams” into a shared collective reality that operates by the illusory laws of physics.


Part of our consciousness is here, experiencing the illusion through illusory bodies. Part of our psyche is outside the etheric matrix, in the astral if not higher realms, like a satellite in orbit while we’re probes on the ground. This is fundamentally an experiment & game.


But due to exposure to this limiting environment that demands survival, compromise, and competition, there's a risk that we internalize such functions & “upload” these illusion-based prerogatives to aspects of us that are nonphysical (like our subconscious & soul). This corrupts the fragment.


Further, our own etheric/astral emanations, per our thoughts, feelings, intentions, and subconscious projections, can contribute to the demiurge and influence the nature/progression of this illusion. Thus we can corrupt it, & it executes that corruption by feeding it back to us.


So the fragments that bound themselves to the demiurge, incarnating into its dominion, many of them have gotten corrupted by it, internalizing its processes as unholy values, which traps them here via their attachment to it. Via feedback loops, their suffering begets suffering.


This environment makes for “fallen” fragments who willingly identify with the illusion-based principle of predation, as well as sub-fragments likely thoughtforms or NPCs, that together with the fallen fragments are now active agents of the corrupted demiurge.


This mess has triggered indirect divine intervention. Indirect means the supreme consciousness (which is beyond creation, as well as within it) doesn’t intervene directly, but delegates intervention to its projected fragments & their subordinates so each gets to “grow.”


This divine intervention employs the incarnation of helper-fragments (from rare spiritual avatars to everyday positive souls) who live within the illusion, helped when possible by telepathic/synchronistic guidance from fragments outside the illusion, all to counter the soporific spell of the demiurge & predation by its minions.


So we’re in a spiritual war now, all taking place within a “fallen” sub-creation within the mind-space of the supreme consciousness.


Our task is to a) disentangle from the illusion & return back to the higher realms, and/or b) gain control of this demiurgic creation & restore harmony here so that it serves the intentions of greater creation outside this illusion rather than serving its own ends to our detriment.

How much of the following do you believe?

1. The Creator of all existence is benevolent and is the ultimate source of goodness, life, wisdom, truth and light.


2. There is also an anti-Creator who is malevolent and the source of evil, death, ignorance, illusion, and darkness.


3. This world is a game-board between these dueling forces and their respective servants.


4. This duality is also active within us, via the opposing natures of our being: one authentic, the other counterfeit.


5. We have been endowed with freewill & individuated consciousness to choose between them.


6. By tapping into our inner god-spark and drawing upon its intrinsic goodness, we can discern and make the right choice.


7. In this way, we can choose righteous thoughts, feelings, and actions.


8. The more we do this, the more we transform and overcome inner/outer darkness.


9. Not only does this make us more attuned with higher benevolent beings who can then better help us, but we in turn become better at helping others.


10. We thereby participate in spiritualizing ourselves & the World.


11. There’s also a higher part of our own psyche (Higher Self) that remains up in the higher nonphysical realm while the lower part temporarily splits off and incarnates here in the physical as a human being.


12. By incarnating, we get to experience life and contribute to the grand interplay between darkness and light.


13. The advantage of physical incarnation is that we may impact the world not only via thoughts and feelings, but also via physical action.


14. Although we are by default unconscious of the Higher Self while here, the Higher Self is conscious of us and acts like a guardian angel to inspire us and guide the trajectory of our lives.


15. What we experience after death is determined by how our being has been impacted by the sum total of our freewill choices.


16. Those who consistently chose darkness and have thoroughly corrupted their essence end up in the gloomy miserable lower nonphysical realms.


17. Those who consistently chose goodness and have nurtured their essence end up reconnecting with their Higher Self, becoming whole again, and returning to their true spiritual home.


18. Those who chose neither sufficiently, end up in a realm that is neither their spiritual home nor the lowest realms.


19. One day, light will fully triumph over darkness, and the Creator will then clear the game-board through a grand reset.


20. A perfect symbol for the Higher Self and the Creator is fire since it provides warmth, protection, illumination, and purifying transformation.
 

Turns out these ideas are at least 3500 years old. They form the core beliefs of Zoroastrianism.

Tawai - a voice from the forest - full feature

Tawai is a word the nomadic hunter gatherers of Borneo use to describe the connection they feel to their forest home. In this dreamy, philosophical and sociological look at life, Bruce Parry (of the BBC's Tribe, Amazon & Arctic) embarks on an immersive odyssey to explore the different ways that humans relate to nature and how this influences the way we create our societies. From the forests of the Amazon and Borneo to the River Ganges and Isle of Skye, Tawai is a quest for reconnection, providing a powerful voice from the heart of the forest itself.

And here is where we get to the more "spiritual" element of the AI issue in relation to the globalists

Artificial Intelligence: A Secular Look At The Digital Antichrist

I believe that globalists view AI with such reverence because they think it is a new form of life, or an ultimate form of life - A life that they are creating (as gods create life). And, if you think about it symbolically, this new "life" is actually made in the image of its creators: It has no empathy, no remorse, no guilt, no love. For lack of a better word, it is soulless, much like globalist psychopaths are soulless.

We can see this lack of substantial psychological awareness in many New Age writers and lecturers.

"James Hillman, whose works delve deeply in Jungian archetypes, sees most New Age therapeutic methods as failing to deal with the true complexities of the soul. We can see this lack of substantial psychological awareness in many New Age writers and lecturers. Though such spokespeople may specialize in Hindu and Buddhist terminology relating to the levels of consciousness, few speak with any background knowledge of Western art, literature, poetry, science, philosophy, and how these have contributed to highlighting the further heights and depths of the human situation today.

Many become popular because they speak and write with a reductionist style that brings the complex and disturbing down into canned formulas of what spiritual growth is supposedly all about. Dozens of such New Age authors could bring their works together into one large volume entitled, “How To Become Aware of the Depths of Your Being Without Disturbing the Routine of Your Comfortable Lifestyle.“”

Most human beings rarely - if ever - experience contact with the real “I”.

“Esotericism seeks to develop consciousness of the Divine. The problem is that our consciousness is, for the most part, simply a program that runs in our machine. The higher consciousness that is sought in terms of ascension is the real “I” or the soul; it is the theorized permanent point that exists within us throughout many incarnations.

This real “I” is something like an impartial referee whose small voice is mostly obscured in the roar of external events and personality programs. Nevertheless, it is this tiny spark of the real self that is the seed of the possibility of esoteric development.

Most human beings rarely - if ever - experience contact with the real “I”. Yet, the personality pretends that it has achieved this level of consciousness. We should note that an individual who has actually reached such a level of firm contact and expansion of the real “I” will also possess attributes such as the ability to accurately judge the consequences of his or her actions, the constant exercise of his own will, an ability to do - to initiate acausal events - as well as a bearing or attitude that is consistent with itself in all situations and conditions. Most of all, such a person does not lie to himself.

An objective examination of many of those who claim such qualities is sufficient to demolish such pretensions. There is so vast a chasm between the qualities that people ascribe to themselves, and what they can really DO,.

Nevertheless, to establish contact with the higher self, for lack of a better term, this very small seed of the soul connection that exists within us is the object of esoteric science. It seems that the only people who have a real hope of accomplishing this process are those who are “bankrupted” [disillusionment].

In other words, all the beliefs, all the programs, all the lies that have been part of the self from childhood, must collapse or be stripped away.

We are all corrupted by the exterior world of matter - the domain of Non-being and its gravitational lures. Even when experience contradicts what a person believes about him or herself, they are seldom able to make the cause and effect connection because of the serious deficiencies that are programmed into us from birth.

We generally explain our failures as “lack of will”. What people do not realize is that failure is not generally due to a lack of will or desire, but to a lack of BEING. It is only with the development of BEING that we begin to understand the knowledge we have acquired. Only then, with understanding combined with BEING, do we have the ability to Do."

When art transports us, where do we actually go?

An old Chinese legend tells of the painter Wu Daozi (680-c760), who learned to paint so vividly that he was finally able to step inside his work and vanish into the landscape. Magical though it sounds, this legend iterates the common intuition that artworks are more like portals than ordinary objects: they can transport us into other worlds. When I look at Pieter Bruegel's The Hunters in the Snow (1565), I feel like I was there in the frost-bitten village, rather than the galleries of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. When reading Crime and Punishment (1866), the letters on the page conjure a whole world, and in some sense I am no longer in my living room but right there in Dostoevsky's Russia; the cinema, too, is a gateway to faraway galaxies and past centuries.

Even non-representational works can take hold of us, like the breathing colour fields of Mark Rothko's paintings or the beautiful ambience of Max Richter's music. Sometimes, artworks have such a magnetic pull that we forget the actual world around us and lose our sense of time and place, of other people - and sometimes even of ourselves. The French art critic Denis Diderot (1713-84) called such immersive experiences 'art at its most magical'. Once a painting by Claude-Joseph Vernet (1714-89) pulled Diderot inside a pastoral river scene so completely and enjoyably that he compared the experience to a divine mode of existence:

"Where am I at this moment? What is all this surrounding me? I don't know, I can't say. What's lacking? Nothing. What do I want? Nothing. If there is a God, his being must be like this, taking pleasure in himself."

No wonder, then, that there is a certain sense of wistfulness when it all ends, when the lights come up or the last page is turned, and we find ourselves back where we were, forced to carry on with our daily lives.

The idea of artworks as portals to other worlds dates back several centuries, and it has become a commonplace way of talking about our experiences with art. In Pictures and Tears (2001), the art historian James Elkins called it the 'travelling theory' of aesthetic experience. The obvious problem with this theory, however, is that it sounds terribly metaphorical. In reality, I never leave my place in physical space. I'm there in the gallery, the auditorium or on my sofa all along. Try as I might, I cannot enter Bruegel's landscape by touching the canvas, nor can I run into the world of Hamlet by running onto the stage. The artwork allows me only to peer as if from a threshold, where I can see inside but never enter. Here we face what I call the paradox of aesthetic immersion: when I'm immersed in artwork, I seem to go somewhere without going anywhere, and I seem to be in two worlds at once, and yet I'm not properly in either.

So what kind of 'travelling' are we talking about?

Post Theory Science

If this isn’t the game changer we always imagined coming, I don't know what is.

I mean, this is so huge that I don’t think we can quickly get our minds around it, that is, if it is even possible to ever get our minds around it.

I mean, quite literally, this is what we always feared: how can we get our minds around something that doesn’t let us know how its own ‘mind’ is working? That we ourselves can't match or follow?

What do you think? Tell me while we are still capable of understanding each other’s thought process, before (I’m going sci fi here, not real world), independent thinking is no longer allowed.

A.I. lacks intuition and instinct, as stated in the article. Huge flaw imo. The 'sixth' sense cannot be replaced. In other words: A.I. has no heart consciousness or feeling center, hence the drive of the elite's to lock us into their 'metaverse' and their transhumanist future. The plan will fail because the whole point is the human experience. Our souls don't give a rats ass about tech. I'm not saying that there won't be casualties on the timeline, just that trying to replicate the real META (consciousness) with an A.I. version is stupid in the face of true perfection. Imo the setup already suits the purpose (soul growth) perfectly.

Power vs Force: The inevitable collapse of the New World Order

Those who use force to impose their will on humanity always succumb to power. As history has shown, all totalitarian regimes eventually come crashing down - not on account of some divine intervention, but because each of us is born with inalienable rights that are intrinsic to human creation.

Therefore, it is only a matter of time before the transhumanist force implodes. However, the time it takes for that to happen is dependent on our ability to reduce disorder and increase power. A lower entropy consciousness means more energy available to do work which results in more power, freedom, happiness and love. As our power collectively grows, we create an immovable wall able to repel any and all negative influences and nefarious threats.

How powerless they are to hold any opinions other than those which are imposed upon them...

“It is only by obtaining some sort of insight into the psychology of crowds that it can be understood how slight is the action upon them of laws and institutions, how powerless they are to hold any opinions other than those which are imposed upon them, and that it is not with rules based on theories of pure equity that they are to be led, but by seeking what produces an impression on them and what seduces them.”

⁃ Gustav LeBonn

This is the majority of human beings, and they don’t even think... they don’t even ask themselves, “But indeed, why am I here? Why is there an earth? Why are there men? Why do I live?”

"Love to learn, always learn, not waste your time in... well, in filling yourself with useless things or doing useless things. You must do everything with this aim, to enrich your possibilities, develop those you have, acquire new ones, and become as complete, as perfect a human being as you can. That is, even on this line you must take things seriously, not simply pass your time because you are here, and waste it as much as possible because you have to pass it somehow.

That is the attitude of men in general: they come into life, they don’t know why; they know that they will live a certain number of years, they don’t know why; they think that they will have to pass away because everybody passes away, and they again don’t know why; and then, most of the time they are bored because they have nothing in themselves, they are empty beings and there is nothing more boring than emptiness; and so they try to fill this by distraction, they become absolutely useless, and when they reach the end they have wasted their whole existence, all their possibilities — and everything is lost.

This you will see: take a thousand men, out of them at least nine hundred and ninety are in this condition. It happens that they are born in certain circumstances or certain others, and they try, you see, to pass their time as well as they can, to be bored as little as possible, to suffer as little as possible, to have as good a time as possible; and everything is dull, lifeless, useless, stupid, and absolutely without any result.

There, then. This is the majority of human beings, and they don’t even think... they don’t even ask themselves, “But indeed, why am I here? Why is there an earth? Why are there men? Why do I live?” No, all these things are absolutely uninteresting. The only interesting thing is to try to eat well, to have good fun, be nicely distracted, well married, have children, earn money and have all the advantages one can get from the point of view of desires, and above all, above all not think, not reflect, not ask any questions, and avoid all trouble. Yes, and then get out of it like that, without too many catastrophes.

This is the general condition; this is what men call being reasonable. And in this way the world can turn round indefinitely for eternity, it will never progress. And this is why all these are like ants; they come, crawl, die, go away, come back, crawl again, die again, and so on. And it can last for eternities like this. Fortunately, there are some who do the work of all the others, but it’s only these who will make everything change one day.

So the first problem is to know on which side one wants to be: on the side of those who are doing something or the side of those who do nothing; on the side of those who, perhaps, will be able to understand what life is and do what is necessary for this life to culminate in something, or else of those who hardly care to understand anything at all and try to pass their time in having as few botherations as possible. Above all, no botherations! There we are. This is the first choice. After this, there are many others."

Climate Change and the Time of Transition

In this quote below, Gurdjieff talked about climate change (literally using the same words) almost a century ago, taking a look at the issue from the perspective of cycles, esotericism, and the pursuit of higher Knowledge:

“There are periods in the life of humanity, which generally coincide with the beginning of the fall of cultures and civilizations, when the masses irretrievably lose their reason and begin to destroy everything that has been created by centuries and millenniums of culture.

Such periods of mass madness, often coinciding with geological cataclysms, climatic changes, and similar phenomena of a planetary character, release a very great quantity of the matter of knowledge. This, in its turn, necessitates the work of collecting this matter of knowledge which would otherwise be lost. Thus the work of collecting scattered matter of knowledge frequently coincides with the beginning of the destruction and fall of cultures and civilizations.

This aspect of the question is clear. The crowd neither wants nor seeks knowledge, and the leaders of the crowd, in their own interests, try to strengthen its fear and dislike of everything new and unknown. The slavery in which mankind lives is based upon this fear. It is even difficult to imagine all the horror of this slavery. We do not understand what people are losing.

But in order to understand the cause of this slavery it is enough to see how people live, what constitutes the aim of their existence, the object of their desires, passions, and aspirations, of what they think, of what they talk, what they serve and what they worship….”

Above all, there should be no philosophy

"In order to stifle any revolt in advance, one must not use violence. Methods like those used by Hitler are outdated. You need only develop such powerful collective conditioning that the very idea of revolt will not even cross people’s minds.

Ideally, individuals should be conditioned by limiting their innate biological abilities from birth. Then, we would continue the conditioning process by drastically reducing education in order to bring it back to a form of integration into the world of work. 

An uneducated individual has only a limited horizon of thought, and the more his thoughts are confined to mediocre concerns, the less he can rebel. Access to knowledge must be made increasingly difficult and elitist. 

The gulf between people and science must be widened. All subversive content must be removed from information intended for the general public.

Above all, there should be no philosophy. Here again, we must use persuasion and not direct violence: we will massively broadcast entertainment via television that always extols the virtues of the emotional and instinctive. 

We will fill people’s minds with what is futile and fun. It is good to prevent the mind from thinking through incessant music and chatter. 

Sexuality will be placed at the forefront of human interests. As a social tranquilizer, there is nothing better.

In general, we will make sure to banish seriousness from life, to deride anything that is highly valued, and to constantly champion frivolity: so that the euphoria of advertising becomes the standard of human happiness and the model for freedom. 

Conditioning alone will thus produce such integration that the only fear – which must be maintained – will be that of being excluded from the system and therefore no longer able to access the conditions necessary for happiness.

The mass man produced in this way must be treated as what he is: a calf, and he must be kept a close eye on, as a herd should be. Anything that allays his lucidity is good socially, and anything that could awaken it must be ridiculed, stifled, and fought.

 Any doctrine questioning the system must first be designated as subversive and terrorist, and those who support it must then be treated as such.”

- Günther Anders, "L’Obsolescence de l’homme" (Ed. Ivréa), 1956
