Regine BecherAs mentioned in my earlier post on the England trip, one of the things I did in Glastonbury was the consecration of a new bishop in the Universal Gnostic Church: as far as I know, the first bishop in the tradition in Europe. Regine Becher -- that's her on the left -- lives in Karlsbad, Germany; regular readers here will know her by her Dreamwidth handle, Milkyway1. Many of you may know that she's been extremely active in the Modern Order of Essenes, teaching an online class in the Essene work and doing a great deal of healing practice as well. Thus I was delighted to have the chance to ordain and consecrate her while I was in England. 

I admit to being very curious as to how her work as a bishop will turn out in the cultural environment of continental Europe. Here in the US, being a bishop of a small alternative religious body is practically normal -- you can tell that this country, from colonial times onward, was the refuge for every religious oddball in Europe. In Germany, by contrast, the great age of religious eccentricity is centuries in the past at this point. It's a very different environment, and I applaud Regine for being willing to make the effort to implant our odd tradition in Germany's soil. 

Please join me in congratulating Bishop Regine!

I am happy to read your Ogham free of charge -- that's how I hone my divination skills.  Please limit your reading request to four or fewer Ogham cards: though this can take many forms, here are some common ones (all of them are basically combos of 4 cards):
 
-a single three card reading for the week or month and a one-off, one card reading
-four questions about four separate items that require one answer (card) per item
-a one card reading to answer a specific question and a three card for a more nuanced question
-Two separate readings, two cards a piece exploring the positives and negatives of two different choices
 
I am happy to do Ogham readings confidentially via email -- just email me at k steele studio at gmail during the allotted time/before deadline.  I cannot answer health questions.  If you have a question about health or another sensitive, private matter, provide a bunch of non-identifying information and the Ogham will be able to figure it out even if I don't. I'm serious... the Ogham actually tend to "know" things without me being privy to what is going on.

Please note I take time off during Solstices and Equinoxes for Druid stuff and because sometimes I simply need a break

My next planned break is from Saturday, June 21, 2025 - Friday, July 11, 2025.

I take reading requests from whenever this post goes up on Friday night until 8pm US Central Time Saturday.  

For a more in depth look into how I read and interpret the Ogham's symbols, please visit my website druidogham.wordpress.com.

I am currently trying to minimize my use of PayPal.  If you'd like to make a donation, I would be grateful if you did it here:

I am hoping that we mind our own business and stay on this side of the pond.

But, that might be an unreasonable thought, so I am just watching. Maybe time to buy some more beans.

domeWelcome back to Frugal Friday! This is a weekly forum post to encourage people to share tips on saving money, especially but not only by doing stuff yourself. A new post will be going up every Friday, and will remain active until the next one goes up. Contributions will be moderated, of course, and I have some simple rules to offer, which may change further as we proceed.

Rule #1:  this is a place for polite, friendly conversations about how to save money in difficult times. It's not a place to post news, views, rants, or emotional outbursts about the reasons why the times are difficult and saving money is necessary. Nor is it a place to use a money saving tip to smuggle in news, views, etc.  I have a delete button and I'm not afraid to use it.

Rule #2:  this is not a place for you to sell goods or services, period. Here again, I have a delete button and I'm not afraid to use it.

Rule #3:  please give your tip a heading that explains briefly what it's about.  Homemade Chicken Soup, Garden Containers, Cheap Attic Insulation, and Vinegar Cleans Windows are good examples of headings. That way people can find the things that are relevant for them. If you don't put a heading on your tip it will be deleted.

Rule #4: don't post anything that would amount to advocating criminal activity. Any such suggestions will not be put through.

With that said, have at it!  
"36. Made in France, Not FDA Approved"

FROM THE RUMBLE PAGE DESCRIPTION: "Chad called me today to share the news. He was on the phone with a Pfizer representative. The Pfizer representative told Chad that the Pfizer shot Lot# FW1331 was manufactured in France. This means the vials that the Coast Guard has are not FDA Approved."

- The implication of Chad's recorded call is that the Pfizer Comirnaty vials being presented for military personnels' covid jabs as FDA approved are not in fact FDA approved since they were not manufactured in the United States; as such these cannot legally be mandated on military personnel.

DR. SAM SIGOLOFF: Well I want to thank you for taking the time to listen to this episode today. So I have a very special emergency broadcast that I want to get out and I want you to help me push this message out to everyone that you possibly can. This very well may be the smoking gun that we've all been looking for.

So I'm sure, as many of you know, the military, DoD [Department of Defense], has been providing Pfizer-labelled products, and they've had them available now and mostly at Coast Guard locations. Well there was a brave man that was able to get these, get a picture of these Comirnaty-labelled vials, and you can see a picture of it here. 

That same man, we'll call him Chad, Chad made a phone call today at lunch. That phone call was made on July 7th at lunch time.

[replay of recording begins]

JACKIE: Thanks for calling Pfizer. This is Jackie.

CHAD: Yeah, hi. I had a question about a lot number of a product that my medical staff had provided for me and I was trying to figure out the manufacturing location and dates for it, and our staff didn't know and they directed me to call Pfizer, so I thought I'd give you guys a shout and see if you could look up that number for me.

JACKIE: Um. Um. What's that lot number?

CHAD: The lot number is FW1331.

JACKIE: And you need to know where it's manufactured at?

CHAD: Yeah, the question from the medical staff was, we, when it came in, there's no other information with it and so members were questioning where, where it came from. So we're trying to identify the manufacturing location, and also the date of when it was manufactured.

JACKIE: It was manufactured in, in January of this year.

CHAD: OK. So January 2022 it was manufactured?

JACKIE: Hm mmm.

CHAD: OK. How about a location? Is there a Pfizer location? I know there's multiple across the country or the world even, but.

JACKIE: Unfortunately it doesn't give me that information.

CHAD: Huh. Is that kind of strange, or is that normal?

JACKIE: Oh, that's kind of strange. And can I have your name, please?

CHAD: Yeah, my name's Chad, C-H-A-D.

JACKIE: I think I found it. It's, it's manufactured in France.

CHAD: Manufac— Do you know what, is there like a, like, facility or something attached with that location in France? 

JACKIE: No.

CHAD: Just France?

JACKIE: Just France. Yes. Just France.

CHAD: OK, is that what it says, like, manufactured in France?

JACKIE: Yes.

CHAD: OK. Is there is any, I have no idea, but is there any way I can get, like, an email print off of that that I can provide to our medical staff, or—?

JACKIE: No.

CHAD: No? Um. OK. Is there— huh. Do you, do you see the expiration date by any chance for that lot number? Like you said, it's manufactured in January. Does it expire?

3:37
JACKIE: [inaudible]

CHAD: Sorry about that. Or even with that lot does it show how many were produced as far as like a vial or box or doses?

JACKIE: It doesn't give us that information.

CHAD: OK.

JACKIE: It expires, it expires on December 31st of 2022.

CHAD: OK. Sounds good. And then is there any chance, is there any way to track any shipping or locations it came through from France?

JACKIE: No, sir.

CHAD: No. OK. And last question for you, and thank you again for your time, I really do appreciate it, last question is—

JACKIE: No problem.

CHAD: —I talked to another Pfizer rep earlier today who gave me this number, and I wa— my question to him was, based on the labelling, do you, are you familiar with the, if the approved labels, which he, he brought me to the Daily Med website. Are you familiar with that one?

JACKIE: The Daily Med?

CHAD: Yeah. Daily Med dot NLM dot  NIH dot gov [https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/]. It basically shows what the approved labelling should look like like on these Comirnaty vials. And that—

JACKIE: OK.

CHAD: — and the question I had when we looked at them online together was, there's a red watermark that goes horizontally, or kind of actually diagonally across the label, and I didn't know if that watermark is supposed to be on the vials themselves as well, or if that was just part of the print off on the screen [inaudible]—

JACKIE: It's not supposed to be on the vials itself, just on the box.

5:07
CHAD: Oh, so the box is supposed to have the watermark?

JACKIE: Yes, the label that's on the box, yes.

CHAD: OK. And that watermark, that would be like that kind of faint-looking rather red or orange kind of color Comirnaty diagonal lettering?

JACKIE: That's correct.

CHAD: OK. So if that lettering is not on the box, what does that mean?

JACKIE: That I can't answer. You probably need to speak to someone in medical about that?

CHAD: Like at Pfizer medical or my own medical?

JACKIE: Pfizer medical.

CHAD: Do you have any contact info for them? I could maybe call them?

JACKIE: Sure. That phone number is 888-273-7017. But if you'd like, I can transfer you over to them.

CHAD: Oh, yeah, no, that'd be wonderful, I'd appreciate that. Um. Yeah. That's, uh, it's just kind of curious because the, the product they have, it just didn't quite match what was thought to have supposed to have come in and that's why we're just trying to figure out what's going on. But—

JACKIE: [inaudible]

CHAD: if it came from France, but maybe came from France, then maybe it could be a different issue. Because if it, if it was from France, would that be part if the, the European labelling perhaps?

6:25
JACKIE: That could be. That could be.

CHAD: Because may—

JACKIE: I'll let you speak to them over there, OK?

CHAD: OK. And—

6:32

[cut]

DR. SAM SIGOLOFF: OK so what's really interesting about this is just the day before on 6 July I received an email from Pritish Vora[1]. Now he recently submitted a amicus brief for something that I can't really talk about because I'm active duty, but if you go look up his name you'll see what I'm talking about. But he wrote an email, and I was part of this email, and he says, [reading] regarding the European version of Comirnaty I found a few important facts. According to the European Medicines Agency, these medicines have been given, quote, conditional approval. This means that there is more evidence to come about this medicine. The European Medicine Agencies will review new information on this medicine at least every year and this leaflet will be updated as necessary.[ends reading]

Then he gave the link.

[reading] Also the European versions has all 3 orange cap for kids, grey cap non-diluted and purple cap requires solution. Comirnaty Europe, EU, purple cap, gray cap, orange cap package insert label— [ends reading ]

And he gives a link to the pictures.

[reading] Conclusion: There is not an equivalent to an FDA approval version of Comirnaty, instead it is pursuant to their version of EUA [Emergency Use Authorized], and they call it CMA [Conditional Marketing Authorization].[2] The only difference in Europe is they can be marketed as Comirnaty, whereas in the United States it cannot be marked or marketed unless it is actually FDA approved version.[ends reading]

So let me— so what that means is, if its in Europe and it's their equivalent to EUA, they call it CMA, they can actually put the word Comirnaty on the label. In America if it's EUA they are not allowed to put Comirnaty on the label because it's not Comirnaty.

8:23
So do you see what's going on here? He asked about a specific lot number, Foxtrot Whisky 1331. The lady told us it was made in France. That's why it says Comirnaty on it. 

Pritish Vora goes on to say, 

[reading] the BLA compliant, the BLA, quote compliant lot argument, is and was a scam. No lot, no such lots ever existed because they were manufactured before the approval date of August 23rd, 2021. For the 2 BLA compliant lots that were made after, and he gives the lot numbers here, it's Foxtrot Hotel 8 zero 2 7, Foxtrot Hotel 8 zero 2 8, were both subject to shelf-life extension program by the FDA, which allows, in theory, the FDA to extend the expiration date to infinity, as I clearly stated in the amicus brief for Coker v. Austin. The labeling is everything. [ends reading]

Remember there was off-label, there was banning of off-label medications? It happened at my institution. Well, that's why the label is so critically important. 

So, so he goes on to say, [reading] the labelling is everything. If the vials on the military bases do not display the red watermark showing Comirnaty on the label, then it is most likely the scenario that they faked the labels for the military bases. Just my person opinion, not a legal conclusion. Indeed the DOD wants each member to sign a memorandum agreeing, i.e., contracting that they agree to receive BLA compliant vials of covid 19 vaccine.[ends reading]

10:08
So what they've done is they've tricked us. They brought in vials that say Comirnaty on them because the European legal system is different than the American legal system. Their version of EUA allows them to print the word Comnirnaty on it.

The lady that you just heard on the phone, the representative from Pfizer, said that that lot number was made in France.

That seems like this is a huge issue. This is a fraud. This is treason, if you will. If you back and listen to my bioweapon lecture.[3] Please go back and listen to that show. I show you exactly how I believe that this is a bioweapon and how we've been at war since at least March of 2020 when they made the emergency declaration. Because the only reasons they can make emergency declarations are for
chemical, biologic, nuclear or radiologic agents attacking US citizens on US soil, US citizens on foreign soil, or against the military.

11:15
Please share this as far and as wide as you can. Please like. Please leave comments. Please get this news out as quickly as possible. This may be one of the biggest things we've ever seen, one of the biggest frauds ever committed against the US military ever. Ever. And we're just now finding about this today. And I stayed up extra late tonight to get this message out to you. So pleadse share this and get this out. Show this to your commanders. Show this to any officer that will listen. Show this to any enlisted soldier that will listen. 

Remember, it's not if you wanted to get it, it's  about, did someone lie to you? Did someone trick you? And they have. And they need to be held responsible in the court of law.

Thank you very much. Hold the line. And together we will all make courage more contagious than fear.

Trying to write.  Big stuff is hard work and I am not used to that anymore.  I think that I need to get back to the basics and realize that outlines and drafts work better than my lazy, stream of consciousness.  I think a lot of the time, things here on the web are the product of a certain amount of laziness and I am probably more guilty than most.

Consider this little gem that popped up over at wikipedia:

So, it appears that 16,000 words is somewhere in the range of a novellete or a a low-end novella.  

Then consider the subject.  Baby boomers.  Pretty easy stuff: people in the US born between 1946 and 1964.  So 16,000 words on a subject with a simple definition.  Must be a lot of freight in that train.  All I wanted was the definition.

Complex issues, freighted with a lot of nuance, secondary meanings, and societal taboo are not amenable to short blog posts or tiktok videos.  Maybe actually trying to understand any “whole issue: and the repercussions of any decision is difficult for me and others here in the simulacrum of discourse that is our digital stomping ground.  I’m going to keep trying, but nearly everything worth talking about ends up in yet another rabbit hole.

Rabbit hole is just another word for hard work.

archetypal englandYes, I'm back home in East Providence, RI, now. As promised earlier, here are a few of the details. 

Travel is easier.  It's been eleven years since I last flew, and I was surprised by how little hassle I had getting to and from England. The security and customs process on either end of the flight is little more than theater these days; no doubt the fact that both countries have fairly porous borders takes a lot of the urgency away. The most unnerving discovery I made is that airport food has improved. I expected the usual vile slop, inflicted on travelers who had no other choice; getting a genuinely decent burger and good beer in Logan Airport left me wondering if I'd somehow slipped into an alternative timeline or something. 

London is London. I shouldn't like London. It's sprawling, crowded, raffish, and not especially clean, but for some reason I always feel comfortable there. I took several long walks through various London neighborhoods without any hassle at all. It's a polyglot jumble of people from all over the planet, as it's been for the last three centuries or so; if that distresses you, I don't recommend going there. To forestall one of the obvious questions, yes, there are a fair number of people in Muslim dress there, but no more than I remember from eleven years ago; for that matter, most of the big new religious buildings I saw there were Hindu temples, not mosques. 

the torGlastonbury is weird. This will doubtless explain why I like it so much. It hasn't changed appreciably since my two earlier visits; the used book stores are still packed with obscure occult tomes, and eccentrics parade down the streets, so I fit right in. The various ancient sites haven't gotten any younger, and of course neither have I -- I climbed the Tor in decent time, but had to stop and rest twice on the way up, which I hadn't needed the last two times.

A good time was had by most.  You can judge the character of London these days by the fact that of the three readers I met my first day in London, one is Mexican, one is Irish, and the third is a British descendant of Indians expelled from Uganda by Idi Amin. Inevitably, we ate Thai food for dinner. The next day I walked for a few miles to have lunch with an editor of the online magazine UnHerd, where some of my essays have been posted, and then took the Tube to meet one of my publishers in Clerkenwell. 

assembly roomsI had two book signings in London, one at Watkins Books on the 3rd and the other at Atlantis Bookshop on the 4th. Both were well attended. The second was enlivened by two people fainting -- they're both fine now. Then it was off to Glastonbury, carpooling through London traffic and then through green countryside and dubious roads into the west. Readers and friends started turning up almost immediately on my arrival. So did pints of Mena Dhu, a Cornish stout that makes Guinness seem just a little thin and pale. (You can literally eat the foam by the spoonful.) Friday we wandered through the ruins of Glastonbury Abbey, visited the White Spring, and then climbed the Tor; Saturday and Sunday we met, around fifty of us, at the Glastonbury Assembly Rooms for a variety of talks, and then went to the George and Pilgrims, a fifteenth-century pub, to talk until closing time. I also did Essene Apprentice attunements for eight people, ordained two Gnostic priests, and consecrated a Gnostic bishop. (I'll give her a proper announcement sometime soon.) 

Monday the 9th I was back on the road, carpooling with more friends, and stayed the night with yet another reader and friend, an alternative-health practitioner who cheerfully calls himself "a back-street quack." To describe our conversations as strange would understate matters considerably; that is to say, I enjoyed myself immensely. Tuesday I squeezed in time for a video interview with UnHerd -- I'll post a link once it's available -- and then I was off to Heathrow and on my way home. 

The 11-year itch. It didn't occur to me until I got to Britain that I've gone there at 11-year intervals: my visits there have been in 2003, 2014, and 2025, always in June. I'd like to go back a little sooner than 2036, but partly that depends on the return of the arrangements that allowed freighters to take up to 12 passengers, which closed down during Covid -- I don't feel I can justify air travel more often than I have to, given the ecological impact. Nonetheless, it was quite something to celebrate my 63rd birthday in Glastonbury with a substantial gaggle of friends. I'd be remiss if I neglected thanks for Oliver Rathbone of Aeon Books for arranging and facilitating the London end of the adventure; Brigid Brennan for making all the arrangements for the Glastonbury end of things; and all the other participants who helped make this a memorable and pleasant experience. Thank you, one and all!

 Yesterday, I started getting calls for...  eh, let's call him Bradley. I don't actually want to destroy his life or anything. Anyway, phone going nuts, calls, texts, all from mortgage companies looking for... (not his real name) Bradley Spellman. Dozens of calls and texts. While I'm answering one, call waiting chimes in with another. 

This has happened before. Two or three years ago, same deal: Bradley Spellman, mortgage companies. Once...  maybe it was a mistake. Maybe he fat-fingered my number instead of his own on the loan application, because it's one digit off or something. Last time, I sighed and spent a week or two asking people to take me off their call list, until the calls stopped. Twice, though? 

In my defense, I was (I am) angry, and I want it to stop. But I do find myself, at this point, wondering where the line is between gentle deterrence and possibly-evil stalking. 

At first, I hung up on them, told them it was a wrong number. Asked them to remove me from their call list. This seemed inadequate. So I started talking to them. I used my super-nice sexy telephone voice. Yes I have one. It is super handy for navigating bureaucratic telephone jungles-- an activity I do not enjoy, but which I excel at. I did not lie to them. 

Me: Hello?
Caller: Is this Bradley Spellman? 
Me: Who's calling? 
Caller: XYZ Super Mortgage
Me: Oh! I'm not Bradley, but I've been trying to get in touch with him! I wonder if you can help me--  this is not his number, but do you have an address, or an email or something I might use to contact him?

The first two actually cared about their jobs and demurred. No, we can't give out information. Third try was the charm. I got a street address. 

It is way easier to extract personal information from strangers on the phone than I expected!

I looked up the street address on google maps. Bradley lives in the same neighborhood I grew up in. Just a few blocks from my parents. Wow that presents some tempting possibilities. 

Let's not do anything illegal though. And... what if he used a fake address as well as a fake phone number? 

That's easy enough to answer. I've been trying to buy a house (unsuccessfully) for like four years now. I have amassed some useful real-estate research tools. 40 seconds to find the owner of the property at that address...  and sure enough it is Bradley Spellman. And now I know that he took out a mortgage for $150k to buy that house in...  roughly the same timeframe as the last deluge of calls from sketchy mortgage companies. 

So I'm like 99% sure I've got the right guy, now. I look him up on Facebook. His FB page literally has a picture OF HIS HOUSE (which I crosschecked with the real estate site and google maps just to be sure) in the header.  Not the brightest bulb in the box. It also links to his business FB page. Where I collected the phone number for his company. 

I now have this guy's full name (first middle and last), his home address, his business info, the name of his spouse, I know when he bought his house and the amount of his mortgage, I know it was a VA loan so he's probably been in the military, I know his maiden name (yeah, he's married to a dude and changed his name. Does that make it a bachelor name?), I know his age (about a year older than me, so... not local or I'd know his name-- military would explain that), and I know that he's applied for a mortgage when he's already got a pretty hefty one. That's curious. There's no way he's going to refi now and get a better rate than 3 years ago, with a 30yr VA loan. Is he looking to buy a second house? Divorce in the works? Real estate investing? Fraud?  

I could have checked the local court records. But I didn't. 

So far, I've just got a stack of easily-accessible information. Possibly, it is an ethical gray area to ask phone reps for information they are not supposed to divulge. 

Here's where it gets a bit dicey though. I DMed him through his FB page (no, I do not use my realname on FB, nor do I friend anybody-- it's for accessing marketplace and stuff) like: Hi Bradley, please stop using my phone number to apply for loans.  I am getting a gazillion phone calls from mortgage companies now, this is the second time it's happened so I don't think it's an accident anymore, and maybe next time you need a dummy phone number just do a quick google search for "fake phone numbers to give to men you're not interested in" or just use a 555 number like in the movies or something. 

Probably still OK, but... I'm really really annoyed at this point. My phone is still ringing every ten minutes. This doesn't feel as cathartic as I'd hoped. I hop over to the public part of his page and leave a comment on the top post: Hey Bradley, stop using my phone number for loan applications. Why are you using a fake number to apply for loans, when you've already got a mortgage anyway? Is this some kind of fraud? 

And then, I copied down his work phone number. 

He blocked me on FB of course. Anyone would. 

But I still have his work number, and now, every time I answer a call for Bradley it goes like this: 

Caller: Is this Mrs. Spellman?
Me: Oh, are you looking for Bradley? 
Caller: Yes
Me: He's not here, let me give you his work number (reads off work number).
Caller: Thank you, have a nice day!
Me: You too!

There's a tally card on my desk. I've given ten callers his work number now. 

I didn't lie or tell anyone that I was Mrs. Spellman. But I did let them assume it. Arguably, I am being super helpful, assuming it was an honest mistake, and redirecting calls *he signed up for* to a number where he might be reachable. 

Arguably. 

Not honestly, though. I definitely want him to be as annoyed by the people calling *my number* (which he's so free about using) as I am. It's not exactly Christian charity. I'll probably be hashing this one out in confession next week. 

But the thing is, my phone is still ringing. I'm up to eleven tickmarks now. Nine of those have been in the last hour. I don't even get a tickmark for the three four calls that came in while I was typing this, that never connected to a rep. 

Sigh. 

Asking nicely went whizzing by yesterday. Where do we cross over from "make the point so it never happens again" to "triggering retaliation"?  Bradley doesn't know me. Did he accidentally fat-finger my phone number on a loan application twice, by accident?  Or is my phone number just his go-to "fake" number when he has to enter a number to complete the form, but doesn't want to get spammed by every mortgage lender in the universe? Maybe he's just dumb and it never occurred to him that the number he randomly made up, actually belonged to someone, and that he was signing that someone up for 50,000 spam phone calls and texts. Wherever the dividing line is between "make sure he gets the message that this is not OK" and "Revenge" I'm pretty sure we're past that. 

Should probably stop. 

But...   the phone is ringing again. Dang. 

EDIT: 

Perhaps eleven is enough to get the point across. I admit I'm still tempted to drop a friendly postcard just to let him know that I know where he lives. That would...   not be nice. I should resist that temptation. Dang. 

Possibly, for the next couple of weeks of frustrating phone calls...   this guy might have a better approach.  It's not their fault someone gave them my number, and I'm not the person they're trying to reach. This thing became unstoppable as soon as Bradley clicked "submit" on that application. There is nothing he can do about it now. It's out of his hands. I just need him to never do it again. So... what's the right response to the dozens of mortgage reps who are still going to call me? Perhaps, as the fellow in the link suggests, this is a God-sent opportunity to practice low-pressure social engagement and soft evangelism. How many people have we shared the Gospel with? Are we good at establishing a social rapport with strangers? How often do we share the love of God with people we just met? Do we need more practice at it? 

UPDATE: 

Well, it turns out evangelism *is* a better tactic. Particularly now that the damage is already done, and there's no way to avoid the next 100 unsolicited phone calls. The God Loves Telemarketers guy is right: it's good practice. The last lady even agreed to let me pray with her. And no joke-- I totally sincerely asked for God's blessing on her. So. 

Two weeks to go. Let's see if we can keep it up!

UPDATE: 

33 phone calls today, including a dozen where the autodial failed to connect to a representative. 

On the plus side, praying with total strangers is losing its weirdness. 

On the minus side, it's fairly exhausting. So far I've only gotten one hostile though. 

Right now: researching how to change my voicemail message to "Hi, I'm not Bradley and I don't know him: please take me off your call list", so I can just turn off my phone for a week.

TRANSCRIPT - BRIEF EXCERPT FROM CLIP

TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES: 
- This was filmed at the June 8, 2025 annual convention of the Tennessee Funeral Directors Association in Franklin, just south of Nashville. Tom Haviland was an invited speaker, presenting the results of the Worldwide Embalmer Clot Survey.
- For more about that survey, see 
"Results of the 2024 Worldwide Embalmer Blood Clot Survey"
Laura Kasner, posted December 31, 2024
https://laurakasner.substack.com/p/results-of-the-2024-worldwide-embalmer
- Filmed from the back of the room, Haviland stands before a large screen showing an array of fibrinaloid castings (aka "white clots") removed from a cadaver. The audience of approximately 33 people can be seen from the back. From brief glimpses it is apparent that some people are sitting to the side or back of the camera and therefore do not fully appear in the video.

3:33
TOM HAVILAND: Embalmers, can I get a show of hands in the room? How many folks in here are actually doing active embalming right now? Raise your hands, leave your hands up. OK. Of those people, leave them up, of those people that are doing active embalming, if you're seeing these white fibrous clots over the last few years, keep your hand up. 

If you're not seeing them, please put your hand down.

[3 people lower their hands - 8 are shown leaving their hands raised— again, note, not all participants appear on camera]

OK. It looks like there's still quite a few hands up in the room. That's interesting. Look around folks, if you're [inaudible], you see how many hands are up.

OK, keep your hands up now, people that are other people in the funeral home, [inaudible] don't embalm, other staff, how many of you have seen the white fibrous clots as well? I know you wander in the — 

[a man sitting near the front on the right raises his hand high]

OK. So, a lot of, a lot of hands up there. OK.

“There are no facts, only interpretations” Nietzsche: I suppose that I am not in the running to be anyone's prophet. M. Uses the word "Explanation" a lot. I tend to lean toward "Interpretation" myself. Not that we aren't "discussing" the same phenomenon, it is just that in the act of trying to make sense of a world that resists such a foolish endeavor, it appears to be the nature of the beast.

I am currently reading Jerry Fodor's "The Language of Thought". I am chewing through the text, but the idea is presented in the usual academic manner, which is to say written by academics for academics and thus it is deliberately obtuse (thought it isn't as bad as many and certainly is vastly easier to understand than folk like Duns Scotus).

When I talk to myself inside my brainpan (and that is my take on where "thought" occurs) I am reasonably certain that (and this is pure conjecture) if science fiction were tried and you could "read my thoughts" it would be in a set of "types and tokens" unique to me and would require a level of interpretation equivalent to what I had to undergo to create the damn thing in the first place.

So, when I natter on here about thought and consciousness and the soul, I am not trying to tell you what is "true", but rather I am trying to explain what the firing neurons are trying to tell me. The analogy I am currently fond of is that of a seventh grader in rural america (english speaker) who is trying to take both german and french introductory classes and is trying to translate a german text into french.

"COVID-19: A Second Opinion"
Senator Ron Johnson, Streamed on January 24, 2022
"COVID-19: A Second Opinion" Roundtable

TRANSCRIPT 

TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES: 
-Dr. Robert Malone's webpage is https://www.rwmalonemd.com
- Ron Johnson is Republican Senator for Wisconsin. 
- See also: https://www.ronjohnson.senate.gov/2022/2/a-second-opinion-on-covid

1:56:58
SENATOR RON JOHNSON: Our next presenter is Dr. Robert Malone. Dr. Malone is a physician and scientist who serves as the Chief Medical and Regulatory Officer of the Unity Project[1] and President of the 17,000 plus strong International Alliance of Physicians and Medical Scientists.[2] Dr. Malone also operates a consulting practice specializing for over 20 years in advanced development of medical countermeasures for infectious diseases, vaccines, and drugs. Dr. Malone is an internationally recognized scientist and original inventor of mRNA vaccination, DNA vaccination, and multiple nonviral DNA and mRNA slash mRNA delivery technologies. Dr. Malone.

1:57:38
DR. ROBERT MALONE: Thank you. Senator Johnson, ladies and gentlemen, I'm speaking to you not only as a physician and scientist but also as a husband, father, and grandfather. I'm also a covid and long covid survivor as many in this room are.

In my opinion, we should not have politicized the public health response to SARS-CoV-2 and covid 19. This is a bipartisan issue and the physicians represented here are truly a bipartisan group. I'm not, although I've been characterized as a right-wing Proud Boy. I've previously supported both President Obama and President Biden's campaigns. But the course of events have forced me to rethink a lot of my positions. And I think that's the case with many of my peers.

In my opinion, many mistakes have been made. Many of those have been covered here. Now we need to look forward and base our management decisions on omicron and the current science, rather than looking backwards to data from earlier phases of the outbreak involving virus strains which are no longer circulating. 

I'm a physician and scientist with more than 30 years have worked as a vaccinologist and clinical researcher focussed on new vaccine technologies, drug repurposing, clinical research, and regulatory affairs. The fact I have 2 major clinical trials currently ongoing with the support of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency[3] and the leadership of Leidos, which I serve as a consultant to.[4]

1:59:22
Early in my career during the late 1980s I had a series of discoveries which led to 9 issued patents which described the original platform technologies on which the current mRNA vaccines are based.[5]

I've spent my entire career focussed on developing ways to protect people from infectious disease threats, including both naturally occurring and engineered pathogens. A case could be made that whether you agree with what I say or disagree it's certainly valid that I should have a role in discussing the current data.

1:59:55
Regarding the currently available mRNA and adenovirus vaccines, the science is settled, it's not a political issue. These vaccines are designed for the original Wuhan strain that are mismatched for omicron. They do not prevent infection, viral replication, or spread to others. In other words, the vaccines are leaky, they have poor durability, and even if every man, woman, and child in the United States were vaccinated with these products, they cannot achieve herd immunity. 

Furthermore they're not completely safe, and the full nature of the risks remain uncharacterized. It usually takes us many years to fully understand the risks of vaccines and certainly new vaccine technologies.

If there is risk, there must be choice. Dr. Kheriaty has just shared the legislative and ethical background for that, nicely summarized.[6]

Informed consent based on full disclosures of risks is an absolute necessity for any medical procedure. You all know this. When you go to the doctor when you have a medical procedure, you go to the surgeon, they describe the risks, benefits, and allow you to make a choice.

This is particularly so in the case of products used under an Emergency Use Authorization. 

In contrast, omicron is highly infectious, readily affects those that have been vaccinated, is generally associated with mild disease, and rarely if ever causes death. Mandating these vaccines makes no sense and is completely inconsistent with the core principles of Western bioethics developed since the Nuremberg Trials and codified in federal law as the Federal Common Rule.[7]

If I may quote, in May of 1995, Nelson Mandela said, there can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children.

In my opinion, our public policies in managing this have had a particularly strong adverse effect on our children and vaccine mandates for our children are completely unjustified at this point.

In closing, I always like to try to end on a positive note. Americans are good people. We're committed to the importance of integrity, human dignity, and community. The world still believes in the importance of the American experiment, of American ideals, and still looks to us to provide leadership during these difficult times. I believe in the vision of the United States, in the vision of the shining city on the hill, in the vision of Camelot, and I have faith that we will be able to overcome these difficulties as we have had all prior challenges.

It's time to come together and move forward using fact-based reasoning rather than outdated and politicized policies which are not consistent with current scientific data. I thank you for your attention.

[7] From the Us National Institute of Justice https://nij.ojp.gov/funding/common-rule
"NIJ policy provides for the protection of the privacy and wellbeing of individuals who are participants in NIJ research studies under two different, but philosophically related, sets of regulations.

"One of these policies covering the protection of human subjects used in research was adopted by 17 Federal agencies, including the Department of Justice (DOJ), in 1991. These policies are referred to as the "Common Rule" or Subpart A and can be found in 28 CFR Part 46. The Common Rule establishes the core procedures for human research subject protections, which include informed consent and review by an Institutional Review Board (IRB). U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) regulations include Subparts B, C, and D, which provide additional protections for certain vulnerable populations including pregnant women, incarcerated persons, and children. Like most other Federal agencies, DOJ did not adopt Subparts B through D; nevertheless, we remain ethically concerned about these populations when included as study subjects.

"The Common Rule represents the culmination of more than 40 years of development and discussion on the underlying ethical principles and guidelines for conducting research using human subjects, beginning with the Nuremberg Code in 1947. Through the years, several international and national commissions have contributed valuable concepts and approaches to the protection of human research subjects. One of these, the Belmont Report, published in 1978, described the three ethical principles on which the procedural requirements of the Common Rule are based. These principles are respect for persons, beneficence, and justice.

"Respect for persons includes the recognition of personal dignity and autonomy, and provides the need to obtain voluntary, informed consent prior to conducting research involving human subjects. Beneficence encompasses an obligation to protect individuals from harm and to maximize possible benefits and minimize harm; this principle provides the basis for risk/benefit assessment. Justice deals with the fair distribution of the benefits and risks of the research and establishes the requirement that the selection of subjects be fair. (Note that these principles are consistent with the goals of the Privacy Protection provisions.) The IRB process was established as an integral requirement of the Common Rule for the purposes of reviewing the informed consent process; reviewing the balance of the risks to the subject with the benefits to either the subject or society at large; and ensuring the equitable selection of subjects. An IRB must carry out these duties based on a thorough assessment of all aspects of the research design and systematic consideration of alternatives."

I am not all that bright. My creativity and uniqueness are something to behold, but when it comes to raw candlepower, I am a mid at best. I don’t always make smart decisions and that is why I have six cats. There is no reason any person of my lower middle class income level should have six cats. To my credit, only three of the six live inside my diminutive home (three are friendly ferals), however, their food and litter cost more than our human groceries per week. Their care and feeding take up a good thirty percent of any given day. Taking on six cats was not a smart or logical idea… yet here I am. There is meowing in the background as I write this.

I am in plentiful company: humans are not very smart. Our level of intelligence is somewhere between unicellular slime and demigod. The notion that we are the smartest beings in the solar system just because we walk on two feet and build a bunch of junk is laughable. For one, we’re not intelligent enough to do spacetime travel because we don’t have mental bodies sufficient to understand that space and time are illusions. We aren’t smart enough to cooperate on a consistent basis: our systems are fraught with waste, entropy, and unnecessary bloodshed. Our doctors are so stupid, they treat their human patients as if they were cars with interchangeable parts. Our men and women of god are usually hypocrites, hebephiles, and pedophiles. Our politicians and celebrities are slaves to a depraved System that vampirizes children and babies for profit.

Humans are not only stupid, we are extremely lazy. Entire civilizations have checked out where meaningfulness and earnestness are concerned. Their citizens have all but reneged on human decency and diligence and have instead fully embraced mindless egotism and zombified compliance. Going the saner path would require actual work they are not willing to do. We begin to see why the old holy books routinely featured an angry god who wiped the Earth clean with a flood and told a few survivors to start over.

As I mentioned in my previous essay about banishing rituals, I was atheist until about ten years go. Atheists like to think of themselves as super smart and I was no exception. The new atheist movement named themselves “brights” around 2003. Richard Dawkins, who is someone I consider to be more idiot than savant, attended the 2003 Brights movement conference. The Brights, also known as the Godless, proudly flaunted their atheism on the world stage for a hot minute. If you’re cringeing, well, I’m cringeing harder because I actually used to consider myself one of them! At any rate, Dawkins is neither the first nor will he be the last retard to declare his truth to be the only legitimate one.

In my own case, one of the only saving graces I have ever possessed is that I have always known I could be wrong, and that is why I am slightly smarter than “brights” such as Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and Sam Harris, as well as any given monotheist theologian or imam. I don’t stake my entire self-worth on being right. I am also at peace with being retarded. I’m comfortable with it. To this day, Dawkins and Harris do not even know they are retarded and poor Hitchens died before he could figure it out.

So long and so very hard LOL

I’m sad I have to say this, but becoming less retarded is one of the key reasons we are incarnated here on Meatworld. Some lessons can only be learned the long and hard way. Some alchemical processes take so long that only a billion or more illusory spacetime years can get them done, for instance evolving the soul of an amoeba into a pianist.

Long ago, a bunch of medieval Catholics refined the concept and practice of discursive meditation. It is an understatement that discursive meditation is one of the great traditions the West has given to the world. Discursive meditation is a procedural method of deliberately limiting thought until the singular subject of that thought has been treated to a thorough amount of expounding, unpacking, and illumination. Benedict of Nursia is credited with putting discursive meditation on the map and making all the monks of his order do it on the regular, but I am confident discursive meditation was practiced throughout the medieval Christian world before he put his stamp on it. Medieval Europeans were a great deal more intelligent than the Progress narrative insinuates. Not only did medieval peasants have vibrant intellectual lives, they were far more connected to the rhythms of the land and the beauty of existence than we are. Proof of their superiority lies in the Gothic cathedrals they left behind. Our peoples will leave islands of ocean plastic waste the size of Alaska, spent uranium, and janky concrete.

The medieval peasant was smarter, braver, and more conversant with the Divine than you because the thought leaders of his time were immersed in discursive meditation even if he personally was not. Limits are power, whether we are talking about the walls and pipes of a hydroelectric dam or the exclusion of inferior ingredients in a treasured soup recipe. Via limits, discursive meditation improves lives. It improved mine and it can improve yours. If everyone on Substack took up discursive meditation for 10-20 minutes a day for a year, we would be looking at a burgeoning revolution in addiction recovery and dramatic collapses in mainstream media far more pronounced than what we are seeing now. Positive infection happens.

Voice in your head

It’s not that NPCs lack voices in their heads or internal dialogues. We all have voices and internal dialogues. Every person has a unique spiritual ecosystem just as he or she has gut flora. The ecosystem is a mishmash of different selves and outsiders. Beings such as the Holy Guardian Angel (HGA), ghosts, egregores, fairies, demons, feeders, larvae, and a motley array of beings who pass through without interaction are par for the course. You are not alone and you have never been alone. You were conditioned into rootlessness after being born in a spiritual Dark Age of endemic metaphysical handicaps. You were shoehorned into dismissing the spiritual world, and if you were raised in monotheism, you likely had it worse because you were told most of the discernible spiritual world was evil and Satanic.

You are a blind leper in a vicious game of dodgeball, unaware that your nose and fingers have fallen off. You are dimly aware that you in constant pain and that something isn’t right. You need a banishing ritual or its traditional mass equivalent stat. You also need a way of preserving what is left of your own dwindling strength so you can stop wasting your magical energy, otherwise known as intention.

Most of us have problems with intention and again I am no exception. My Achilles’s heel is eclecticism, which is the urge to jam several lifetimes of accomplishment into a single human incarnation. Discursive meditation has been a godsend in discerning which activities I am best suited to spending my time on and which are better left behind. Limits are power.

Where does your mind go?

When I first started discursive meditation about ten years ago, I was still solidly atheist. That said, the skeptic in me had no problem with ten to twenty minutes a day of severely limited thought. My first meditations were deceptively simple. A pencil. A sandwich. The piano. The number five. My daily contemplations grew to include terms or phrases such as “cleanliness is next to godliness” and “middle age”. Only later did I build up the fortitude to tackle problematic subjects such as troubled relationships, my own shadow projection, and past lives. Once I had my sea legs, I was able to gain tremendous insight to most of my own problems. I became my own best shrink. I struck at the roots of my own stupidity, pride, and self-sabotage. There is nothing quite like isolating one’s own culpability in discursive meditation to put an end to one’s own bad behavior. Removing the bullcrap and sanctimony drives an iron pin through the heart of the pale, squirming grub of egotistical complacency. The phrase “everywhere you go, there you are” sums it up: instead of running away as most humans do from self-reflection, discursive meditation exposes you to your own inner workings. Confront the way you think; this is the key to much, to paraphrase Dion Fortune. As Apollo said, know thyself.

Stop waiting for the world to change and change yourself. Discursive meditation is a direct route to self-change. It is unfortunate that some who are reading this will find ways to dismiss what I have said here because I am a non-Christian occultist. Yes, I am both of those things, but I believe Jesus himself wants you to revive the tradition of discursive meditation. I believe He (or someone uncannily like him) popped into my ecosystem a couple of times and said “Hey you… tell them I said this!” He said that gratitude and generosity sublimate to the power of seven. He also said that discursive meditation, a.k.a. the old Catholic contemplation that made the West formidable and great, should be revived. In short, Jesus is no fan of whiners and whining. He would much prefer you use the ancient tradition of His church to clean up your own corner instead of crying about somebody else’s pigsty.

Make of that what you will… I could be wrong!

How to do a discursive meditation:

  1. Choose a subject in the form of a physical object, word, or phrase. Do not choose more than one subject. Limits are power. Christians can use a phrase from the Bible, and you’ll observe the Bible’s verses are conveniently partitioned and numbered for contemplation purposes.

  2. Get a notebook and pen and put it somewhere within reach.

  3. Sit in a straight-backed chair with your feet on the ground and take a few deep breaths. A little discomfort is OK as long as it is not extreme.

  4. Limit your thought to the subject alone. If you’re hungry, too freaking bad. If you’re thinking about a deadline or an annoying person, cancel those thoughts for ten minutes. Only think about the subject and all its aspects.

  5. Once you have thought about the subject, isolate three aspects of it that crossed your mind. For instance, if I meditate on a pencil, I can think about its etymology (pencil means “little tail”), where it was made (likely China), and my own preference for mechanical pencils. Write those observations down in your book.

  6. Quit after ten or twenty minutes. Don’t overdo discursive meditation. It’s actually heavier exercise than you would assume. Once you get good at it, you can go longer.

It seems that things are getting weirder. This phenomenon is happening at nearly every level. Family isn't really struggling (relative to any rational set of standards) but they seem to be intent on bringing drama to the fore. Locally, the schools are in their finals, so the kids are twitchy and just wanting to get to the summer. State is actually the calmest of the set, I think that the multilayered state bureaucracy seems more intent on surviving the possibility of a purge made manifest by federal money drying up. I don't think that even in my fondest fantasy of omniscience do I really understand what the fuck is going on at the federal level, but it most certainly fits into the broader rubric of "weird".

Even the weather is odd. Yesterday I had to hole up in my sealed up apartment because the temp outside in my favored reading area got up to 103 F. (even the official temp from the weather station set a new daily record at 95 F.) Today looks to be more tolerable through.

What is nice about getting older is the simple knowledge that the foofooraw isn't the end of the world, all it might mean is that my relative comfort and limited access to privileges and luxuries might be changing. I really can't see much use in working myself up into a tizzy concerning the weirdness going on. It is going to go its own way regardless of any emotional baggage that I might freight it with.

I suppose that my ongoing discussions with M. concerning the nature of consciousness (or as I prefer to refer to the chimeric supposed entity "the soul" is helping me wander down the path of dealing with the world around me in a manner that is not going to leave me huddled in a corner worrying about it.

In my "applies only to me" intellectual musings concerning the nature of the soul, age allows me to understand that I am just here to adapt to an ever changing environment.

I have no idea what the Egyptian sphinx represents—best guess is that it was originally just a lion, but some narcissistic jerk re-sculpted his face onto it—but the Greek sphinx, at least, is simply the riddle, the puzzle, the koan personified: it entices you in with it's pretty face and soft breasts, but once you get close, it sinks its claws into you. (In fact, the word Σφίγξ "sphinx" is from the Greek σφίγξω "I will hold tight.") With that image, an entire avenue of sphinxes seems a frightening prospect, and yet here I am, traipsing down just such a path...


A while back I noted that there were two major Greek myth cycles, the "city myth" and the the "hero myth." The first of these (exemplified by the two great cycles of the Heroic age, Thebai and Troia) follows seven generations of kings as they found a city, the city's royal line splits, the main branch fails (due to assaults from foreigners ultimately caused by a divine curse), while the secondary branch moves on to found a new city. On the other hand, the "hero myth" (exemplified by the Horos myth and the Orestes branch of the Epic Cycle), describes the structure of the world that we inhabit and describes what we can do about it; it is meant to be an example to prospective initiates, just like Athenaie says:

ἢ οὐκ ἀίεις οἷον κλέος ἔλλαβε δῖος Ὀρέστης
πάντας ἐπ’ ἀνθρώπους, ἐπεὶ ἔκτανε πατροφονῆα,
Αἴγισθον δολόμητιν, ὅ οἱ πατέρα κλυτὸν ἔκτα;
καὶ σύ, φίλος, μάλα γάρ σ’ ὁρόω καλόν τε μέγαν τε,
ἄλκιμος ἔσσ’, ἵνα τίς σε καὶ ὀψιγόνων ἐὺ εἴπῃ.

Or haven't you heard what kind of renown noble Orestes gained
among all men when he avenged his father by murdering
that weaselly Aigisthos, who killed his illustrious father?
Likewise you, my friend—for I see that you are very handsome and well-built—
be courageous! so that even those yet to come may speak well of you.

(Athenaie, in the guise of Mentes, exhorting Telemakhos. Homer, Odyssey I 298-302, as translated—hopefully not too badly!—by yours truly.)

This is, in fact, why Horos never goes to Bublos or why Orestes never goes to Troia: they are drawing on the lessons of the "city myth" in order to determine their own path. The city is an abstraction or teaching to them, the stories of those who went before, rather than a lived experience. In fact, it suggests that the city is a place they want to avoid, a source of trouble! Because of this, it seems rather important to make sense of what the city is and what it means, but I've been in difficulty doing so. I hit upon a potential angle on it, though, that I thought might be worth walking through.

I recently mentioned the Ra Material in reference to Teiresias (himself a part of the Thebaian city myth), and while pondering this, I realized that "Ra's" metaphysics dovetails neatly with the city myth, with "Ra's" seven degrees of consciousness corresponding very well with the seven generations of kings; under this interpretation, the city myth describes the unfolding of the Cosmos from Source to Source, while the hero myth, situated at the end of it, tells us what we can do about it right now, today, and what we can expect to happen to us if we try.

As a disclaimer and a reminder, I'm pretty skeptical of channeled texts (and doubly so of anything "New Age") for a few reasons: first, I have a pretty strong anti-modernity bias; second, most people are incapable of reaching up to the aither to channel angels, and even if they can, it can be very difficult to tell since daimons "know how to tell many convincing lies;" third, the channelled material always reflects the biases of the person doing the channelling, and if one isn't personally close with them, it can be very difficult to correct for these; and fourth, the "New Age" seems to largely presuppose a worldview I don't adhere to, and involve wish-fulfilment fantasies which I'm not interested in. So this material needs to be taken with salt; please consider this post merely an attempt to expand upon my prior exploration of Teiresias in order to make a more comprehensive evaluation of the model possible.


Perhaps I should start by describing "Ra's" view of the development of consciousness. (Or attempting to, it is not perfectly clear to me, so take this as a sketch.) Consciousness is analogized as a vibration, and this continuum of vibration is discretized into seven degrees of consciousness, just like how we break up all the possible vibrations of the air into a scale of seven notes or all the possible vibrations of the visual spectrum into seven colors. Since souls are just a vehicle for consciousness, we inherently possess the capacity to vibrate in any harmony of frequencies, at least potentially; but in practice, one has to "climb the scale" a bit at a time, from lowest vibration to highest vibration:

  1. Red, which relates to being, and is the consciousness of "inanimate" objects.

  2. Orange, which relates to growth and movement, and is the consciousness of plants and animals.

  3. Yellow, which relates to social identity, and is the consciousness of humans. Being the vibration of identity, it is the first properly "individual" degree: red and orange are "herd" or "group" consciousness, while yellow consciousness is individual (at least once sufficiently developed).

  4. Green, which relates to love, and is the consciousness of lower daimons. Love is polarized: one may give love (compassion) or take love (selfishness), and thus green consciousness is dual in nature.

  5. Blue, which relates to communication and wisdom, and is the consciousness of higher daimons, though it is also (being the lowest vibration not subject to mortality) where we resonate with after death. Blue retains the polarized nature of green; the positive pole is the collective search of understanding (collaboration), while the negative pole is the individual search of understanding (hoarding knowledge).

  6. Indigo, which relates to universality, and is the consciousness of angels. Unlike green and blue, indigo is not meaningfully polarized, because of the nature of universality; negatively-polarized individuals, having mastered wisdom, come to understand this and reorient themselves positively as they endeavor to comprehend the All.

  7. Violet, which is related to transcendance and unity. This is, in a sense, rejoining the All and moving on to a new "octave" of existence, in which one co-creates the universe as and with God. (At least, apparently: "Ra" claimed to be of indigo consciousness, themselves, and claimed only secondhand knowledge about violet consciousness from its own teachers.)

Apparently souls usually ascend as groups: that is to say, the group of what we now call "human souls" all passed through the red stage more-or-less together, then the orange stage more-or-less together, and are now working through the yellow stage more-or-less together. ("Ra" says the reason why the earth is such a mess is that, apparently unusually, humans aren't developing consistently: a few are polarizing positively, a few others are polarizing negatively, and the vast majority aren't polarizing at all. Evidently conditions are much smoother in the common case where the group develops together.) There are uncommon exceptions to souls developing as a group, however: some people are souls of a higher degree, who incarnate as humans in order to teach and guide; while, conversely, some few human souls "jump the tracks" and, through spiritual practices or divine support or sometimes even by accident, behold God naked and become able to ascend separately from the rest of their group.

I think that's enough about "Ra's" metaphysics to get on with. So far so good, and other than the emphasis on soul-groups, isn't too distant from Empedokles or Plotinos.


As for the city myths, there is, unfortunately, no one good source remaining for either of them. I'd like to look at Troia today, partly because I looked at Thebai last time and partly because the Epic cycle is by far the more familiar to me. The outlines of it's history can be more-or-less cobbled back together from bits and pieces in the Iliad and Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite (which I trust) and the Library (which is my preferred fallback when a reliable source isn't available). Here is a sketch at describing the seven generations, with citations:

  1. Dardanos, the favorite mortal son of Zeus, founded Dardania at the foot of Mt. Ide. [Il. XX 215-8, 301–5.]

  2. Erikhthonios, the son and successor of Dardanos, "became the richest of all men" with a herd of three thousand mares. Boreas mated with some of these mares in the form of a black stallion, adding twelve semi-divine horses to Erikhthonios's herd. [Il. XX 219–29.]

  3. Tros is the son and successor of Erikhthonios, renaming the kingdom (but not the city) of Dardania after himself. [Il. XX 230, Lib. III xii §2.]

  4. At this point the royal line splits three ways, as Tros has three sons: Ilos, Assarakhos, and Ganumedes. All three are described as faultless. Ilos goes to Phrygia; he wins a prize of fifty men and women; following an oracle's instruction, he follows a dappled cow to the hill of Ate; he asks Zeus for a sign; he is given the Palladium; and he founds Ilios on the spot. Assarakhos, meanwhile, simply succeeds to the throne of Dardania. Ganumedes, finally, being peer of the gods and most beautiful of mortals, is spirited away in a whirlwind to be the immortal, ageless cupbearer of Zeus; Tros is grieved by his son's disappearance until Zeus sends Hermes to tell him what has become of him and give him divine horses. [Il. XX 231–5; HH 202–17; Lib. III xii §3.]

  5. Laomedon is the son and successor of Ilos, and also described as faultless. Kapus is the son and successor of Assarakhos. [Il. XX 236, 239.]

  6. Priamos is the son and successor of Laomedon; he is the final king of Ilios, since while Zeus loves Priamos and his city, he withdraws his favor from Priamos's line and gives it to Aineias. Ankhises is the son and successor of Kapus; he was seduced by Aphrodite, but not made immortal; and he secretly bred his mares to the divine horses of Laomedon (descendants of those ransomed for Ganumedes), thereby stealing their bloodline. [Il. IV 44–9, V 265–72, XX 236, 300–8; HH.]

  7. Hektor is the son and heir apparent of Priamos, but is killed in battle by Akhilleus. Aineias is the son and successor of Ankhises; he is the son of Aphrodite; he is most pious and beloved by the gods; and he escapes Ilios and refounds it after it is sacked. [Il. II 819–21, XX 293–308, XXII; HH.]


Now, let's synthesize these two models. I don't think this is too difficult! The seven kings can obviously be linked to the seven degrees of consciousness, with the line of descent showing the progression of consciousness (e.g. orange follows red just as Erikthonios follows Dardanos), and with the split among the sons of Tros showing the split in polarization at the green level of consciousness (e.g. just as, after Tros, the Troad has two kingdoms, Dardania and Ilios, so too does consciousness have two polarities after yellow). Everything else falls out naturally from there.

Mt. Ide (traditionally from ἴδη "woods," as in a place of material to harvest and work with) is the world-axis or ladder of consciousness, which is why Zeus sits atop it and watches all. The hill of Ate (Ἄτη "blindness, recklessness") is presumably where Zeus threw her after Hera tricked him into recklessly making Iphikles king rather than Herakles (cf. Il. XIX 91–136), clearly a place where a lack of foresight makes one deviate from the intended course. Dardania (apparently related to the onomatapoeic δάρδα darda "bee," like "bumble" in English, and an appropriate name for cooperation, as a hive of bees work together for the good of all) is the positive polarization of consciousness, while Ilios (which Ilos, of course, selfishly named for himself) is the negative polarization of consciousness, distant from Ide but still in sight of it (as one can never really escape divinity).

Dardania is founded by Dardanos at the foot of Ide since red consciousness is foundational, inherently positive, and where everything begins; while Ilios is founded by Ilos on Ate since green consciousness is the first that can be negatively polarized (though doing so is short-sighted). Nonetheless, each of Tros's three children are described as ἀμύμονες "without blemish," because all is one, so to love others and to love self are both to love God. However, Tros has a third faultless son: Ganumedes; Xenophon's Socrates (Symposium VIII xxx) makes the case that Ganumedes was beautiful in soul, and I likewise think that Ganumedes is a mythic representation of how peculiarly virtuous souls can short-circuit the usual path of growth through intensive self-development and/or devotion to divinity. Zeus withdraws his favor from Priam because negative polarization halts at the indigo level (thus ending the line of Ilos), and Hektor dies in battle because it is not possible for a negative polarization to transcend. Aineias refounds Ilios because the result of returning to the One is to co-create the next "octave" of consciousness.

Homer goes to particular lengths to talk about horses (maybe they should have called him Φίλιππος Phillip "horse fancier"), so these must be noteworthy for some reason. I suppose that while the kings represent the levels of consciousness in general, the horses must represent their property; that is, specific individuals or groups of individuals within those levels of consciousness. Perhaps the wealth of Erikhthonios indicates the vast speciation of the natural world, while the offspring of Boreas ("the North Wind") indicates that only some of the many species of animals are judged desirable enough to become vessels of the yellow level (e.g. are imbued with "breath" or "wind," that is, individual soul); perhaps the horses Zeus gifts to Ilos indicate that while some beautiful souls may leave the group, the group is not neglected, but is in fact given support in recompense for their loss in order to maintain balance; that Ankhises breeds his horses with the descendents of these perhaps suggests that these beautiful souls join groups of the indigo level ("go to be with the angels"). These kinds of things aren't really discussed in the Ra Material so far as I recall, though, so this is all not-terribly-deep guesswork based strictly on the symbolism in the myth.


A few miscellaneous notes from while I was working my way through all this:

  • I have long wondered why Homer is so very down on Aphrodite; she seems to me to be among the nicest of the gods. One nice thing about this interpretation of the city myth is that it makes sense of this. Aphrodite is love, and loving mode of consciousness—green—is where polarization takes place; since Ilios is the negative polarization, which is ultimately incapable of returning to the source, this is the reason for the city's downfall. In fact, that Zeus refuses to adjudicate the apple to any of the goddesses indicates that God has given us free will to choose our paths; that Paris has to choose between Aphrodite (= love​ = green?), Athene (= wisdom​ = blue?), and Hera (= universality = indigo?) indicates that these are the levels affected by choice of polarization; that Paris chooses Aphrodite for reasons of self-gratification reinforces the recklessness (ate) of the negative polarization in general.

  • I'm not really prepared to do a deep-dive on the Thebaian myth yet, but while we're talking about sphinxes, it's worth noting that Oidipous, being of the fifth royal generation, would, by this theory, be of the blue, or wisdom, degree of consciousness. This makes his solving of the sphinx's riddle—a test of wisdom—pretty appropriate!

  • If you'll recall in the Horos-myth, I likened Thoth to "experience," the reason or purpose behind climbing the ladder of consciousness: so God-in-part can come to know part-of-God. Thoth is married to Maat, the "necessity" of this occurring. It is noteworthy that the child of Thoth and Maat is Seshat "scribess," who is depicted with two cow horns and a seven-petalled flower above her head. It is plausible to me that "scribess" is a reference to consciousness being that which observes and records (cf. Od. XI 223–4) and the seven-petalled flower is indicative of the seven modes of consciousness here described:

    This would, of course, presuppose that "Ra" is correct in saying that they influenced the development of Egypt with their teachings.

    "Nurses For Freedom NZ Protest - Sarah"
    FreeNZ Media July 7, 2022
    https://rumble.com/v1bhk0r-nurses-for-freedom-nz-protest-sarah.html

    FROM THE RUMBLE PAGE DESCRIPTION: "Interview with Sarah at the Nurses For Freedom Protest outside Middlemore Hospital on Tues 28th Jun."


    TRANSCRIPT - EXCERPT

    TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES:
    - In the introductory part Liz Gunn states that she has traveled to Middlemore Hospital in Aukland, New Zealand, "to show our support for the nurses who are protesting the government's disgraceful mandates against our country's medical staff." The protest, with many nurses holding up placards and waving New Zealand flags, is along a highway and on a bridge. Liz Gunn is filmed standing on the street using a large microphone to interview with this nurse.


    0:36
    SARAH: I'm a nurse with 21 years' experience, and I've got two children. I'm a solo mum. And I got terminated in December.

    LIZ GUNN: Because of your—?

    SARAH: Because I chose to honor my natural immunity and I didn't— I'd done my research, which I feel was an opportunity where information that was available from overseas was omitted, discredited, censored, ignored, take your pick. But we were in a position where we could have done something really significant as a nation and not pursued this avenue of this one source of truth[1] and the one and only gold nugget treatment that quite frankly hasn't worked.

    LIZ GUNN: Has not worked—

    SARAH: And is extremely unsafe. And as a nurse I stood really strongly around informed consent, which I don't believe you can get in an experimental product where the long term data is still coming in, where the availability of information from the company itself was attempted to be buried for 75 years, and that documentation that has been forced to be released is damning and quite disturbing material.[2]

    2:08
    LIZ GUNN: They vastly underestimated kiwis. They being whoever the overlords are of this group of politicians. Many kiwis say they're all sold out to somebody over there. We don't know exactly who it is, but the people over there have underestimated our kiwi spirit. And it is rising now.

    SARAH: Yeah, and I think as well it's not just kiwi spirit, it's the global, like, humanity, the people that can see that something's not right. Like, right from the get go I questioned, I was like, really? I've been nursing for just over 20 years, are we living in this pandemic? Like, is this thing actually happening? And then some things happened in my personal life and I questioned further. And I was also going, they said that last week, this was what was happening, and it's different now. What's going on? So there were a few holes like Swiss cheese that made me question more.

    3:05
    LIZ GUNN: A lot of things that don't make sense. I still can't get past people putting their masks on to go into the cafe, the minute they sit down the masks come off and they eat. What it is this virus? It seems to not—

    SARAH: Hmmm.

    LIZ GUNN: — not  attack people if you're sitting at a table. I mean, I say that jokingly, but kiwis need to start questioning. Where's the critical thinking? 

    SARAH: Hmmm. 

    LIZ GUNN: Where are our critical thinking minds?

    SARAH: [raises her hand]

    LIZ GUNN: Yep.

    SARAH: Well, it was drummed into us as nurses when we were training to critically think and to question. You might have a patient that looks as sick as a dog in the bed but their observations that you've done don't look, don't match the patient at the end of the bed. Or vice versa. You might have someone that looks like well but their observations are abnormal. And so we were always taught and encouraged to question what's in front of you.

    LIZ GUNN: Are you working at the moment?

    SARAH: I'm building my own business. So I've pivoted—

    LIZ GUNN: Yeah?

    SARAH: And I'm building a business, aromatherapy massage and using essential oils to support your own body's natural ability to heal itself because it can if we let it and if we listen to it. And I'm also educating people around maintaining their health and controlling their health and taking ownership of their health. I'm tired of the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff house system that we've had that's address the symptoms and not the cause.

    4:31
    LIZ GUNN: Do you want to put up your aromatherapy business?

    TEXT ON SCREEN: f find us on facebook facebook.com/frankinessence

    SARAH: So it's a play on frankincense. Incidentally, it's all the oil of truth. I'm all about trying to find the silver linings in these situations and Frankinessence came about because of my complete love affair with my boyfriend Frank and because Frankinessence is who I am as a person. What you see is what you get. I'm not about to pussyfoot around people's feelings because they might get hurt or triggered. I'm going to say it like it is and not hold back.

    5:01
    LIZ GUNN: And I want to ask you one more thing. If Jacinda [3] was down that camera, you have this one minute, she's just walked up, and you have to speak from your heart, as you have to me. What is it you'd say, down that camera, Jacinda, use her name, and look at that camera.

    5:17
    SARAH: How do you sleep at night? Do you have any idea the lives that you have destroyed? Not just those that have died as a result of this treatment that you said was safe and effective, that's a slogan and a tagline. It has no backbone, no basis, no evidence, no research. Where is your data? What are you doing? We're— it's— yeah. You have nothing to proud of. Nothing to be proud of. 

    And I have no other words that I can say on camera. You are an absolute disgrace to this country. And I never imagined that I would be out of a career because I chose to honor my body and my integrity and acknowledge the fact that our health, our body was designed to heal itself. 

    You're a coward. [exhales; shakes head] Yeah.

    Question No. 1—Prime Minister

    1. Hon JUDITH COLLINS (Leader of the Opposition) to the Prime Minister: Does she stand by her statement, "We will continue to be your single source of truth"?

    Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN (Prime Minister): I stand by my statement in its entirety. Some weeks ago, I was asked about rumours and speculation that had emerged across social media on COVID-19 that could have caused harm to New Zealanders. My full quote reads, "I've been watching for some days—and this is not unique to New Zealand—that, in the midst of what is a global issue, as you would expect, there are a number of rumours that circulate. I am present on social media; I see it myself. I cannot go round and individually dismiss every single rumour I see, as tempted as I might be. So, instead, I want to send a clear message to the New Zealand public: we will share with you the most up-to-date information daily. You can trust us as a source of that information. You can also trust the Director-General of Health and the Ministry of Health. For that information, do feel free to visit at any time—to clarify any rumour you may hear—the covid19.govt.nz website. Otherwise, dismiss anything else. We will continue to be your single source of truth."

    I am happy to read your Ogham free of charge -- that's how I hone my divination skills.  Please limit your reading request to four or fewer Ogham cards: though this can take many forms, here are some common ones (all of them are basically combos of 4 cards):
     
    -a single three card reading for the week or month and a one-off, one card reading
    -four questions about four separate items that require one answer (card) per item
    -a one card reading to answer a specific question and a three card for a more nuanced question
    -Two separate readings, two cards a piece exploring the positives and negatives of two different choices
     
    I am happy to do Ogham readings confidentially via email -- just email me at k steele studio at gmail during the allotted time/before deadline.  I cannot answer health questions.  If you have a question about health or another sensitive, private matter, provide a bunch of non-identifying information and the Ogham will be able to figure it out even if I don't. I'm serious... the Ogham actually tend to "know" things without me being privy to what is going on.

    Please note I take time off during Solstices and Equinoxes for Druid stuff and because sometimes I simply need a break

    My next planned break is from Saturday, June 21, 2025 - Friday, July 11, 2025.

    I take reading requests from whenever this post goes up on Friday night until 8pm US Central Time Saturday.  

    For a more in depth look into how I read and interpret the Ogham's symbols, please visit my website druidogham.wordpress.com.

    I am currently trying to minimize my use of PayPal.  If you'd like to make a donation, I would be grateful if you did it here:

    Your prayers of blessing to the deity/deities of your choice are welcome whether or not you can donate.
