After 9/11, I must’ve encountered more than 100 people- relatives, employers, etc. who believed very firmly the premises for the invasion of Iraq, and in George W Bush as a leader. Literally everyone thought that Osama Bin Laden had ordered this attack, and that we were justified in ‘going over there’ and ‘getting those ragheads’. I was, on the day of September 11, employed by an Egyptian man named Ed, working at a Liquor Store in Northern California. When I asked Ed what he thought of it, he said, “It’s bullshit! America always lies!”
The average American works at Wal Mart, for close to minimum wage at best. The company employs 1.4 million people and is the largest employer in this country. Only 1/3 of Americans has a Bachelors Degree, and mostly what America runs on is the fumes of previous war and political successes; from World War II to the Revolution, Americans never forget they are the winners of War, and look forward to wars so that they can kick some ass and take some names. The Walton Family, who own Wal Mart, have a net worth around US$240.6 billion, making them more powerful by far economically than most Pharoahs ever were.
Around 4000 B.C., the earliest phase of the Sumerian culture arose as the oldest civilization in the Mesopotamia region, in what is now mostly Iraq. The Sumerians are named after the ancient city of Sumer, which was a few miles south of the modern city of Kut, in eastern Iraq. In other words, the true cradle of civilization is the very country America decided to illegally invade under conspiratorial terms.
During the Chernobyl disaster, the socialist USSR government did not train doctors on how to treat radiated children. Because the government believed it would cause panic to have the words 'nuclear contamination' printed, they removed the books that had those words from the libraries and schools. For that reason, doctors were not trained to treat Chernobyl patients when the accident occurred. Many people died because the government failed to even tell them they were within a region of contamination.
That is government. Excessive government thinks about the aims of government, not people.
Since the war in Iraq, there have been some curious augmentations to America’s concept of victory and consumption. Namely, technology. In the world today you have more access to knowledge and thought than in any time in human history. Still, the majority trusts consensus narratives to form their beliefs. What happens when you can very easily sew the seeds of doubt in those narratives?
The truth is obvious to anyone with about 8 hours to spend, that 9/11 was really the attempted kick off of the New World Order, an inside job, and that Bush lied about over 100 aspects of the invasion to get it done, for arcane reasons. You have YouTube, you can find out yourself. Don’t feel like YouTube is reliable? Consider buying my thoroughly fact checked and vetted book.
Perhaps our very souls were not meant to exist merely wearing little getups that indicate varying degrees of power in the capitalist structure, or, perhaps time is an illusion and our souls are going through this for some growing purpose beyond our comprehension. Either way, a society built on developing the soul rather than looking at humans as capital earners with success marked by a degree of capital acquired, saved, and not squandered, is hardly the most advanced civilization.
In the West, we justify colonization with flagrant ignorance. “Them over there, they’re stupid and bad, we over here, we’re proud and true” is always the rally cry. Can this really be an undisputed truth for the ‘winners’ of all of histories conflicts?
What are these things? Pyramids, right?
Wrong. ‘Pyramid’ is a flat wheat cake that was served in Greece. Greek civilization lasted from c. 1200 BC – c. 600 AD. These structures were built some 4,500 years ago, before anyone knew what a Greek (or American) even was.
Mir is the name the Egyptians used for these structures. Mir means ‘ascension’. Each one a royal tomb and considered the place of ascent for the spirit of the deceased pharaoh. It was believed that something in the structure of the pyramid helped a Pharoah ascend to Godhood. Just as African Americans were given names of slaveholders like Washington, Jackson, Jefferson, so we have opted to call Pyramids something a Greek ate instead of what they were, a spiritual conduit for Godhood ascension.
In the pyramid of Pepi I. an address to the deceased king says,
sesep-nek aru neter aaa-k am xer neteru
“Thou hast received the form of God, thou hast become great therewith before the gods.”
So, this referent that you and everyone you know has been familiar with since birth, but have misnamed for your entire life, can teach us something- our language, culture, and reasoning capabilities are incomplete, biased, and based on colonial representations of reality. Referents have been utterly manipulated by those who seek power since the dawn of time, do you really feel like you live in the one era o pure referents with no manipulation?
Most scholarly magicians cite Egypt as perhaps the ultimate civilization, because they were fixated with magickal truths and rites, as well as the afterlife. Our society simply outsources these issues to a magical Palestinian in the sky who died 2,000 years ago and told you not to do unto others as you would not want done to yourself. Very few, if any, people in our society heed that advice, and we are currently actively bombing the region from which that Jew taught these lessons. So, are we the correct and faithful society to some deeper truth, just because we happen to be dominant on Earth for now (and probably not much longer)?
Kabbalah, the sacred mystery branch of Judaism, teaches that the so called Old Testament or the Torah, the books of the Bible that Moses informed, are not merely texts written by man, but are informed by God himself. In the Torah, they speak of the 72 names of God, which can be seen as the 36 decans of astrology with two polarities each. Similarly, the Egyptian Merkhet used 36 zones of the sky to define time, as opposed to our 12 hour increments based on the suns position in the sky. A pair of merkhets was used to establish a north-south line (or meridian) by aligning them with the Pole Star. They could then be used to mark off nighttime hours by determining when certain other stars crossed the meridian. If we abandon our colonial mindset, we see that ‘time’ was, for most of human history, measured by zodiacal expression, not ‘hour’ or ‘year’. Being that we are currently measuring time yearly based on that Palestinian Jew’s presumed birth date, it is safe to assume that this is a temporary idealization of time and reality that future civilizations will look at as curious and littered with entropy.
We must assume, with so many civilizations paralleling this concept, that Astrology is a key aspect of how to understand human nature and experience.
In America, our ‘secret priests of mysteries’ are Freemasons. In Freemasonry, Saturn is often associated with the planet Saturn, which has been historically linked to various mythological and astrological symbolism. Freemasons believe that ‘Sons of Cain’ should inherit the Earth, and ‘Sons of Seth’, or those obedient of God, are ‘weak and foolish’. Does this sound like who you want ruling over you? Yet, 45 persons have served as president of the United States. Of these, 15 (including Lyndon Johnson who followed after JFKs mysteries and perhaps secret-society-assisted assassination, and George H.W. and George W. Bush, conspicuously Presidents during New World Order-initiating events) are known to have been Freemasons, beginning with the nation's first president, George Washington.
The significance of Saturn in Freemasonry can vary depending on the specific rituals, traditions, and interpretations within different Masonic organizations. Some interpretations may draw on historical and mythological associations with Saturn, such as its representation of time, discipline, and the cycle of life. However, it's crucial to approach these interpretations with an understanding of Freemasonry's symbolic and allegorical nature, rather than literal worship of celestial bodies.
Assume, as is the truth, that 9/11 kicked off a new era. Perhaps, a 2,000 year era we might say is the Age of Aquarius. Just as biblical scholars, who were only the educated elite for a thousand years, did not want or need the illiterate peasant to know really what the Torah was saying, so too our leaders today, who constitute a political priest class, might also keep things from us, fearing that it is more important that we are governed than that we have full understanding of the world around us.
In Germany, around 1440, the goldsmith Johannes Gutenberg invented the movable-type printing press, which started the Printing Revolution. Since then, many people that would otherwise be illiterate laborers have learned to read and established Western thought as we understand it. Thales, (c. 624–545 BCE) who is usually seen as the very first philosopher, sought to describe the cosmos in terms of a first principle, or arche, which was the primal source of all things, and suggested that water was this arche.
But the philosophy of Socrates (469–399 BCE) and Plato (427–347 BCE) built on Presocratic philosophy shaped the way we conduct thought even today. This was in the form of Socratic dialogues. They often start with simple questions in an attempt to explore a topic and critically reflect on underlying ideas and assumptions. In many of his dialogues, he explored the question of what it means to lead a good life, by exploring virtues, like justice, courage, and wisdom. Despite being regarded as a great teacher of ethics, Socrates did not typically teach any specific moral doctrines. Instead, he tried to prompt his audience to think for themselves and become aware of their ignorance through a series of questions upon the nature of being and the mind..
In the world today, people can see facts quite easily, via Google or other tech platforms. But no AI, no search engine, can ever give you the why. If you have been prescribed that you are a worker and that is all you will be, the why hardly enters into it. But, if you have been touched by experience that seems otherworldly or divine, the why drips in like rain on a leaky roof. Once you taste the raindrops you need to know what kind of cloud produces rain, when it will rain again, etc.
For the worker, the pyramids are the pyramids, because his dad said they were the pyramids, and he saw on TV they were the pyramids, and that is that. For the thinker, he wonders if they were always called the Pyramids, and then he might find out they were not. How far can we unfold this onion of colonial perception and populist ignorance?
The Chinese zodiac is exactly the same as the Western (Babylonian) zodiac, but they assigned different creatures to the same energies. Dog, for instance, is relative to Libra, which for the Western zodiac is scales. Today, you might read on your paper place mat at a Chinese restaurant that you area Horse, and that means you like to travel. But Chinese culture is much, much older than Western culture. That understanding is relative to the sign of Gemini, which they alike to Horse. The same energy forms the Numerological number 3. If your name adds up to 3, you have traits alike to a Chinese Horse Year. They are all different understandings of the same energies. In our American culture, we have all but abandon these symbols, forsaking perhaps the most pertinent and important means of understanding the self from a magical perspective, outside of “I am me and I want what me wants.” which is the American modality of self. If you were born Year of the Sheep, which is relative to Cancer, the sign that rules Family and Motherhood, family is important to you, more so then Year of the Rabbit, who is promiscuous, and relative to Pisces, a promiscuous sign. It’s as simple as that, for the initiated.
The Four Elements of the Zodiac are identical to The Four Worlds of Kabbalah, the means through which God manifests.
And those Four Elements become the Four Suits of Tarot; Earth for Pentacles, Air for Swords, Water for Cups, Firs for Wands. Therefore, when one draws a Pentacles card, it pertains to divining some aspect revolving around money or career, the domain of the element of Earth.
We can see a similar situation revolving around the idea that the year 2012 would bring about the end of the world. For the average American dumbass, this momentary thought-trend was bolstered by (of course) a Hollywood movie. When 2012 happened and cinematic tsunamis didn’t wash over the Western World, people collectively said ‘hogwash’.'
But, as you can read in Daniel Pinchbecks excellent book, 2012 : the Return of Quetzalcoatl, 2012 theory was really about the ‘death’ of the fifth sun, or Mayan Baktun or Age, by a certain Mesoamerican philosophy, as the beginning of a new age. Egyptian priests did not say in exactly the year 1 AD “Well, time for Jesus to take over!” in fact it was a hundred years before the gospels were even in existence. Christianity developed in Judea in the mid-first century CE, based first on the teachings of Jesus but later and more predominantly on the writings and missionary work of Paul of Tarsus, without whom Jesus may have been just one of many reformers of Judaism in Rome.
You will die. On that day, do you want to have always called them the Pyramids, never knowing a name beyond that, or what a Merkhet is, or what a third decan Libra is likely to be like?
Aleistar Crowley believed that the Tarot came from Egypt. In my interview with Stav Appel, a Tarot and Torah scholar, he implies that there may be an esoteric connection between the card The Tower (XVI) and 9/11.
“If you look closely at the House of God card, which was its original name before it was recreated by the Rider-Waite-Smith deck as ‘The Tower,’ you can find in the sun nine burning flames and eleven spots in the sky. The 9th day of the 11th month is a holy day in Judaism known as Tisha B’Av, the day of mourning for the destruction of the House of God. It’s the one card whose title is not even a disguise.
Obviously, it’s a bit jarring that the one card with a falling tower conceals the numbers 9 and 11. Just a coincidence? A core concept of the Kabbalah, which I believe a deep reader can find presented front and center in the Torah itself, is that the entire creation is a singular unified pattern.”
Now, LONG before you were born The Tower card had been in every deck of every Tarot. Yet, is it possible that the Tarot has always held a little clue that 9/11 was coming? Most importantly, does God perhaps forbid divination for most everyone because you simply were not meant to know all of these secrets? What secrets are left for future events in a similar way?
In his excellent book, The Secret Language of Birthdays, Gary Goldschneider assigns personality types to those numerologically born under certain tarot cards. For instance a person born on the first (1) or 28th (2+8=1) days would be born under The Magician, the number one card. The number 16th card, The Tower, according to Goldschneider, imbues one born under it with a sardonic, destructive turn of mind and a desire to end the old way and start the new. “Stick it to the man” as it were. As someone who has a had a close friend, a girlfriend, and a sister born under The Tower, I tend to concur.
I was born under The Magician, and have always been attracted to mysteries and secrets. I remember pouring over my Grandma’s Time Life Mysteries of the Unknown book series as young as 9 as if I was looking into a portal to another world. I’m also a Life Path 3 and have been attracted to the Arts and performance for literally as long as I can remember. Life Path 3 is indicative of performance and of the arts, and creativity as positivity.
Ergo, you can see that there is a hidden language of numbers, signs, and meaning beneath the referents and language we use, which is mostly if not entirely built on the remnants and residue of one or another civilization conquering in the name of their perceptive reality, then imposing their reality atop a perhaps more spiritually astute one. One need not look much further than the trend of people taking disrespectful selfies at Auschwitz to understand how the sanctimony of one era is paved over by the arrogance of another. When The Barbarians sacked Rome, the culture that was built upon thousands of years of study of the Planets and Psychological themes made macro and micro in their gods and temples became martial victory spoils for unwashed heathens. In fact, Evangelion, the root of Evangelize, means Military Victory. First you conquer ‘the enemy’ then you preach your God’s existence. If the facsimile of the God you worship fades with each new war, eventually the entropy in that belief gives way to other, more pertinent belief systems.
Forces that oppress your divine nature will never give you the tools for you to see it. They will, however, punish you for forsaking their whip crack. There will be people on your same socioeconomic plane who urge you to obey the whip, for fear that they will take away your food, shelter, livelihood. But what they will take from you is much deeper.
There are patterns in nature, just as there are patterns in the soul. Measuring, quantifying and correlating those patterns are an art form unto themselves, one that the priests of Kabbalah and the Astrologer alike perfect throughout the centuries. It only takes a little Barbarian sacking to have to start the process all over, but the signs and symbols of magic, the zodiac, the Tarot, etc. are immortally waiting for a chosen few to interpret and understand. It is the symbolically lost that are, in turn, spiritually lost, and easily susceptible to whatever their societies ‘secret priests’ give them to manipulate their egos, patriotism, sense of self, or lack of awareness. What could we see with no temporal blockers of culture and colonization? Would we see a Mir, a tool of ascension, instead of a Pyramid, a flat cake?
