“In the West we have thought of God not only as a monarch but as the maker of the world. And as a result of that, we look upon the world as an artifact, a sort of machine, created by a great engineer. There’s a different conception in India where the world is not seen as an artifact but as a drama, and therefore God is not the maker and architect of the universe but the actor of it, and therefore is playing all the parts at once.”
— Alan Watts, Cosmic Drama https://image.nostr.build/5b845cba8c7d94d7318b07e22b81be6f0e1ed6ecde7075d060b630f34bbb0b8e.jpg

One phenomenon I’ve noticed is that many people, perhaps most, outsource their opinions to a single media personality they admire, whether it's Rachel Maddow, Bari Weiss, Sam Harris, Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, Joe Rogan, or countless others.
This energy-saving mechanism—mimicking the opinions of someone you generally agree with—is efficient but also a form of idolatry.
Better to form one’s own opinions from multiple sources and reserve judgment on issues you haven't explored than to blindly adopt another's views. In short, don't turn your favorite media figure into your personal lord and savior. https://image.nostr.build/1d4336f2b924fe220dafdbb50064f61becacb1f9e31d1f49238f07a2a85a835e.jpg

"We can no more find a method for knowing God than for making God, because the knowledge of God is God himself dwelling in the soul. The most we can do is to prepare for his entry, to get out of his way, to remove the barriers, for until God himself acts within us there is nothing positive that we can do in this direction. We may, however, be certain that he will act—indeed, that he is *already* acting—though we have difficulty in becoming aware of this action because we are always trying to put imitations and substitutes of our own in its place. We fail to see through the window because we are painting pictures on the glass."
— Alan Watts, Behold The Spirit https://image.nostr.build/abafd2d730250d722370e34eaacf46234e7108dfd527337db1046b72a6a8e5c7.jpg

“There’s a wonderful story you may also have read by a German writer, von Kleist, about a boxing match with a bear. The man can never defeat this bear because the bear always knows his plans in advance and is ready to deal with any situation. The only way to get through to the bear would be to hit the bear without having first intended to do so. That would catch him. And so this is one of the great, great problems in the spiritual life, or whatever you want to call it: is to be able to have intention and act simultaneously.”

Pavel Durov, founder and CEO of Telegram, was arrested in France for the “crime” of allowing his users to have private, encrypted conversations.
Privacy is not a crime. Encryption is not a crime. And even if some corrupt states consider them crimes, they will never be crimes in the eyes of God.

Nietzsche's concept of Eternal Recurrence is strikingly similar to the Hindu concept of Saṃsāra.
Both reflect the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. Yet, while Nietzsche urges us to embrace the cycle, Hinduism seeks liberation from it entirely. https://image.nostr.build/b8c7eb2545ce455ee83763b50266f6bcabcf65ff797186c11683ea3ac242632a.jpg

“There is a famous Zen parable which fitly sums up this particular attitude to life. It is said that to those who know nothing of Zen mountains are just mountains, trees are just trees, and men are just men. After one has studied Zen for a little time, the emptiness and transience of all forms is perceived, and mountains are no longer mountains, trees no longer trees, and men no longer men, for while ignorant people believe in the reality of objective things, the partially enlightened see that they are only appearances, that they have no abiding reality and pass away like drifting clouds. But, the parable concludes, to him who has a full understanding of Zen mountains are once again mountains, trees are trees, and men are men.”

Curtis Yarvin once said, during the 2020 election season, “I’m so pro-Trump that I’ve actually come all the way around to being pro-Biden.”
His reasoning was that a Trump admin would merely delay the inevitable regime collapse and transformation, whereas a Biden admin would accelerate it. Same is true of Kamala.
The counter argument is that a swifter collapse will be more acutely painful. https://image.nostr.build/1a2eb13c3089621231784a608e4ab304d4377380c976711d2532650ac860a5af.jpg

“When you ask most people to lie flat on the floor and relax, you find that they are full of tension. It’s because they don’t really believe that the floor will hold them up, and therefore they’re holding themselves together. They’re uptight. They’re afraid that if they don’t do this, even though the floor is supporting them, they’ll suddenly turn into a gelatinous mass and trickle away in all directions. Then there are other people, when you tell them to relax, they go like a limp rag. Bleeah!
But, you see, the human organism is a subtle combination of hardness and softness, of flesh and bones. And the side of Zen which has to do with neither doing nor not doing, but knowing that you are It anyway, and you don’t have to seek It, that’s Zen flesh. But the side in which you can come back into the world with this attitude of not seeking, and knowing you’re It, and not fall apart, that requires bones.”

“modern man is therefore indifferent to religion as he knows it, and yet his nervous recklessness, his chronic sense of frustration, his love of sensationalism as an escape, his fitful use of every substitute for religion from state-worship to getting drunk, show his soul still desires that release from itself, that infusion of life and meaning through being possessed by a power greater than itself, which is found perfectly in union with God alone.”
— Alan Watts, Behold the Spirit https://image.nostr.build/9b5552a8d263c5bf7dea114928d7aff83980464c03bfc4ba2393a65d6b8bc45f.jpg

British citizens are being jailed for posting on Facebook. Now, even retweets are landing people in jail.

Most people argue only about cultural issues, because the monetary issues are too complex to understand.
Let’s simplify it: There are infinite fiat currency units, but only 21M Bitcoin. The more fiat units created, the poorer you become, unless you hold #Bitcoin.
Much of the cultural rot we see today is downstream of the fiat money printer. https://image.nostr.build/0055814ac9100a0faf34bb40e83a1f6d9139e50547002ead2315f20a5d698b37.jpg https://image.nostr.build/125fa94478951e149bc005a56f50c644d6022143807f42ffe13e6aaf16d89d38.jpg https://image.nostr.build/bb6b359b0c506be67585395d3c5f030179183aae74f3a5357f0d1af20e4bf58f.jpg

“It is hard to say what a myth is. The term is popularly used as the opposite of ‘fact,’ and the difficulty is that this is a fairly recent usage which reverses its older meaning. In the older sense, a myth is a divine fact, a sacred reality.”

The Gods of the Copybook Headings
As I pass through my incarnations in every age and race,
I make my proper prostrations to the Gods of the Market-Place.
Peering through reverent fingers I watch them flourish and fall,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I notice, outlast them all.
We were living in trees when they met us. They showed us each in turn
That Water would certainly wet us, as Fire would certainly burn:
But we found them lacking in Uplift, Vision and Breadth of Mind,
So we left them to teach the Gorillas while we followed the March of Mankind.
We moved as the Spirit listed. They never altered their pace,
Being neither cloud nor wind-borne like the Gods of the Market-Place,
But they always caught up with our progress, and presently word would come
That a tribe had been wiped off its icefield, or the lights had gone out in Rome.
With the Hopes that our World is built on they were utterly out of touch,
They denied that the Moon was Stilton; they denied she was even Dutch;
They denied that Wishes were Horses; they denied that a Pig had Wings;
So we worshipped the Gods of the Market Who promised these beautiful things.
When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "Stick to the Devil you know."
On the first Feminian Sandstones we were promised the Fuller Life
(Which started by loving our neighbour and ended by loving his wife)
Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "The Wages of Sin is Death."
In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all,
By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul;
But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "If you don't work you die."
Then the Gods of the Market tumbled, and their smooth-tongued wizards withdrew
And the hearts of the meanest were humbled and began to believe it was true
That All is not Gold that Glitters, and Two and Two make Four
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings limped up to explain it once more.
As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man—
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began—
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;
And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!
— Rudyard Kipling (1919) https://image.nostr.build/0c6999b31f25a7fa6aea1081b8ee8ed366cd3533dc193ae50d024d9379da1910.jpg

Modern wars serve largely to defang a population by depriving it of its most courageous, capable, young men.
This allows the weak, conniving men to more easily control the population.

Canada has a similar issue: Those who settled in Canada were too afraid to fight the British, and thus remained loyal to the crown. As a result, Canada more readily bends to the globohomo communist agenda than America.

The UK suffers from having lost its most courageous and virtuous men, who either died fighting in the world wars or went abroad to explore new lands.
Though some patriots still remain, they are largely outnumbered by NPCs.

The President has historically been the “consoler in chief,” a stabilizing force in times of uncertainty.
In the current administration, it’s unclear what economic policies are even being advocated for.
