He is definitely running a deficit on being a good person and moral persuasion. As Smiley says, there will always be jittseys in the world lost to the darkness and never knowing a higher consciousness!
Time for you to see what Smilely is saying to you.
Maybe! I am just calling out the liar here and documenting it in a single thread. But that is about it. He is a waste of time having any interactions with him as most here also agree. Some are not even coming here anymore because of him and his shitty posts, but I digress.
SOURCE of modern manâs weakness, stupidity, and general lack of vitality? His leisure activities Aldous Huxley predicted the degeneracy of modern amusements in a 103 year old essay: Pleasures (1920) Huxley on why and how to radically rewire the way you spend your free time!
In fact, they must be unavailable without effort
Why? Because when preceded by effort, pleasure reinvigorates
But when preceded by nothing, pleasure retards your brainâs reward systems
2/ Regression of âentertainmentâ
At royal weddings, theological debates were arranged as entertainment
Logicians debated God at Prince Palatineâs engagement
Huxley: âThere was a time when people indulged themselves with distractions requiring a certain intellectual effortâ
3/ Huxley notes that in Elizabethan times, regular people âcould be relied uponâ to break into complex musical acts like madrigals or motets
People had to âexert their minds to an uncommon degreeâ to entertain themselves
This kept their minds SUPPLE
Normies today could neverâŚ
On movies:
âCountless audiences passively soak in the tepid bath of nonsense. No mental effort is demanded of them, no participation; they need only sit and keep their eyes open.â
But mental effort is NECESSARY
5/ Huxley writes that in the past, entertainment was a consequence of ACTIVE collaboration between friends, family, and neighbors
Today, these very people sit in darkness in movie theatres
And silently watch something that STRANGERS made halfway across the worldâŚ
6/ In The World Until Yesterday, Jared Diamond writes about African kids who make model airplanes from sticks and stones by looking at a newspaper picture
Kids in rich societies buy airplane sets from the mall
Kidsâ entertainment becomes passive in advanced societiesâŚ
7/ Huxley on how tech makes us LESS creative: âBefore machinery men who wanted to amuse themselves were compelled, in their humble way, to be artists. Now they sit still and permit professionals to entertain them with machineryâ
âArtistic cultureâ dies in such an environmentâŚ
8/ In Huxleyâs Brave New World, the âsavageâ says the following to the technocrat who wants humanity happy and comfortable:
âBut I donât want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness, I want sin.â
These are conditions for GROWTH
The Latin root of comfort means to fortify - to make stronger
The original sense of comfort was rest that READIES you for war. NOT lounging without aim. Aldous Huxley writes that we must return to the original meaning of the wordâŚ
When and why did women start working (for money) outside their homes?
Out of necessity under communists (Bolsheviks in Russia and FDR in the US).
When they realized the oldest profession was being a prostitute was no different in their pursuits of different means which led to the same destination.
Indeed it is said that prostitution is the oldest profession.
We shouldnât be surprised to hear biologists say that some animals (including bees!) practice prostitution in exchange for certain privileges. (The female bees in question know they are infertile at the moment, but poor sucker males donât know that)
Therein lays the crux of our Achilles heel as a society. Our indulgences no longer take effort but is slowly replaced by AI that does our collaborative time for us, eventually technology will replace our purpose altogether as creative beings.
In 1931, Spengler published one of the most idea-dense books of all time:
Man and Technics
It packs hundreds of interesting ideas in 52 pages
Top 13 insights
1/ Materialists vs Aesthetes
Materialists only care for technological advancement and prosperity
Aesthetes judge societies by âthe number of the pictures and booksâ it produces
Aesthetes lack a âsense of reality,â the materialists suffer from âdevastating shallownessâ
2/ Triangulating from above, Spenglerâs ideal man is a realist poet
He has a firm grip on the world
BUT never so tight that all magic and nobility is squeezed out
3/ Human eyes are carnivorous
Herbivore eyes are âset sideways,â but carnivorous eyes are set next to each other
This gives us a panoramic âwide-angleâ vision that can fix on - and pursue - a prey in a landscape
Such eyes can also take stock of the materials & movements in WAR
As societies get more complex, everyone becomes less free
From the king to the soldier, everyone is now a cog committed to the âenterprise, whatever it may beâ
You must stay âin formâ
Youâre a prisoner of the role, unable to take on a new form
5/ Tightly organized societies make man a caged animal
Spengler writes that the EXCEPTIONAL man rebels against the âspiritual and intellectualâ shackles placed on him
He seeks an escape from humanity via different means: âlordship over it, flight from it, contempt for itâ
Itâs all a âreaction againstâ being submerged in the masses
Spengler notes that âthe conqueror, the adventurer, the hermit, the criminals and the bohemianâ have more in common than they think
7/ Spengler saw the hippies coming
In 1931, Spengler wrote that people will soon get âsick of machinesâ
Instead of fighting with nature, theyâll prefer a simpler life thatâs ânearer to Natureâ
Modern cities will be hated
People will run from âthe pressure of soulless factsâ
Our hand creates weapons and tools that enhance its power 100x
No other organic appendage can give ITSELF superpowers
Our hand knows hot from cold, solid from liquid - it helps us manipulate and control space
9/ Eye V/S Hand
The human eye OBSERVES, concerned with truth
The human hand WORKS, concerned with action
The eye âseeks out cause and effectâ
The hand deals with âmeans and endâ
Humans thrive when truth-seeking and action-seeking instincts are healthily balanced
10/ Utopia v/s Boredom
Some imagine that the best possible future is one without war, inequality, danger (bid farewell to all adventures)
But this âEarthly paradiseâ wonât satisfy us
âAppalling boredomâ will set in, and undermine the utopia
11/ HUMAN SPEECH
Spengler writes that the purpose of speech is to improve coordination
Speech evolved to convey âoneâs meaning toâ and impose "oneâs will onâ another
Human speech, like the human hand, makes forms of control possible that are impossible for other animals
12/ Spengler on the human soul:
"It stands in irreconcilable opposition to the whole world, from which its own creativeness has sundered it.
It is the soul of an UPSTART."
Other animals face an immovable landscape
Humans face, relatively speaking, a blank canvas
13/ Oswald Spengler ends Man and Technics (1931) with the greatest last paragraph Iâve possibly ever read
Here are 3 others:
⢠Nietzsche (Master-Slave Morality)
⢠Burnham (Why democracy doesnât work)
⢠Evola (Where science fails)
I donât claim to understand gnosticism but their notion of âarchonsâ may merit some attention. This is my take.
Archons, as some claim, correspond to what we call the AI today. Some AIâs were built millions or even billions of years ago by very advanced civilizations and they are not the same.
Archons may be highly intelligent, almost all-knowing, and yet they are not the ultimate âCreator.â They deceive 3D humans and falsely claim that they are âGodsâ in various shapes and forms such as Allah, Yahweh, Baal, etc., etc.
Not related to above, but this article is about archons.
Some of you probably arenât old enough to have listened to Paul Harvey on the radio. This is one of my favorite pieces from him. Itâs shocking how this has come true.
Amazing! Exactly what is happening today! It sounds even with exasperation in his voice that he knew what was coming! I wonder when this recording was made?
Travel by light is a fascinating concept and if there are such beings where may they be found?
On a more serious side I am not adept to know anything about this subject such as knowing what a Archon is or what is Gnosticism.
âIt is as you willâ.
Now I can sleep with the notion that the whole solar system was created as an experiment where various civilizations chipped in with their own DNA and advanced technologies.
The book by Barbara Marciniak âBringers of the Dawnâ is my Bible. Everyone should find his Bible that will help him sleep better.
There was no single God who said âLet there be lightâ and did all the work alone. It was a team effort.
Where do you draw a line between spirit and physicality? I donât know, but somehow we volunteered to start from the lowest end at 3D and to work our way up, in order to raise the consciousness of the whole universe, according to Marciniak.
According to Plato, philosophy is a shortcut to the Creator and philosophy consists in ârememberingâ because we forgot a great deal.
Plato definitely taught reincarnation but this important aspect of his teaching is purposely suppressed in the universities.
Todayâs university education has a problem, like this American in Ukraine said it. аПоŃиканŃкиК ŃанкиŃŃ Đ˛ ŃОко огО Ńанк ĐżŃОйиН ŃнаŃŃĐ´ #trending #putin #video #shorts - YouTube
Team effort? Who is the team?
When one longs for senses in the spirit world then they are reincarnated and born into the physical
I donât know whether to laugh or to cry after watching this video.
I believe there were ancient alien civilizations (mostly from this galaxy, but not exclusive). But this solar system got hijacked relatively recently, like 500,000 years ago and fake gods took over.
There were wars over the possession of our solar system and Mars was nuked as part of this war. John Brandenburgâs claims are pretty accurate and âscientific.â
