This grey heron stares its opponents down.
Dieser Graureiher starrt seine Gegner in Grund und Boden.
You tell me it's a search
A futile search we make.
A walk through the entrance
The magician flute sings and I pass the tunnel /
Dens
Waving hypnotism of a perfume
Rising and falling
In between sounds
I find myself in a ceremony
Trusting halves and havenots
A star
Guest amongst guests
The heat of the globe
Glowing through my flesh makes an offering
Blood to blood
Feuds and fumes
Arms pulled
Right
Love and longing
Fate and soul
Left
Alleys of self
Trials and tribulations
Arms pulled
Above and across the fires of the abyss
Arms pulled
Unwilling and weary, an Icarus
Let go and
I fall
and
I fall
I roam
Amongst tree trunks and ashes
I bow to leave the light on extended palms
I walk
I walk backwards, a woman on my own feet
Longing and desire
A power rising above wills
Ripping through
And through all
A woman
Not walking on her own feet

El pantano que emergió de la niebla
La niebla confina un hipnotismo mágico durante las primeras y últimas horas del día. Su disipación, poco a poco engendra sorpresas extraordinarias en ocasiones, suscita un estupor fantástico y una fascinación misteriosa en otras, y origina que mi interior esboce una sonrisa y mis manos la encarcelen con mi cámara, para que finalmente ese halo "tenebroso y enigmático" desaparezca en una instantánea.
The swamp that emerged from the fog
The fog confines a magical hypnotism during the first and last hours of the day. Its dissipation, little by little engenders extraordinary surprises at times, raises a fantastic stupor and a mysterious fascination in others, and causes my interior to sketch a smile and my hands imprison it with my camera, so that finally that halo "dark and enigmatic" disappear in a snapshot.
Le marais qui a émergé du brouillard
Le brouillard enferme un hypnotisme magique pendant les premières et dernières heures de la journée. Sa dissipation, qui engendre peu à peu des surprises parfois extraordinaires, suscite une stupeur fantastique et une fascination mystérieuse chez les autres, et amène mon intérieur à dessiner un sourire et mes mains l’emprisonnent avec mon appareil photo, de sorte que finalement ce halo "sombre et énigmatique" disparaître dans un instantané.
La palude che emerse dalla nebbia
La nebbia confina un magico ipnotismo durante la prima e l'ultima ora del giorno. La sua dissipazione, a poco a poco genera sorprese straordinarie a volte, solleva uno stupore fantastico e un fascino misterioso negli altri, il che fa sorridere il mio interiore e le mie mani lo imprigionano con la mia macchina fotografica, così che quell'aureola "oscura ed enigmatica" scomparire in un'istantanea.

The taxi moves through the traffic like an urban shark at ramming speed, ruthlessly veering between lanes wherever an opportunity opens up, until forced to come to an inevitable, complete standstill at the Ratchada/Rama IV intersection where it is rumored Bangkokians spend 1/10th of their lives. As the frustration builds and I wish I had brought my shaving kit with me, magical lights come on in the office tower next to us, like a sea creature of the deep signaling its neighbors. Waves of blue and green fluorescent neon lights move up and down the building facade at varying speeds, a silent yet melodious ode to patience, calm and beauty. For several minutes, I am transported into an unexpected world of magic and hypnotism. And as the traffic light turns green and we are on the move again, I feel regret at having to leave behind this spectacle in the mayhem. In the city that I hate. In the city that I love. Bangkok, mon amour.

So my daughter bought me these very hip Hypno Glasses. If you look very closely (don't worry, I'm not trying to hypnotize you--haha) you can see the backlight reveals writing on the back of the glasses. It says, "WARNING! These glasses are a source of almost unlimited power. Do not let them fall into the hands of a stupid person."
On a technical note: It is exactly 3" from center to center of the lenses. I shot the White Balance in Tungsten to give it that ominous color for the backlight which happens to be my vacuum cleaner light. :)

This morning before the heat started sweltering we decided to head out on a walk in search of Pokémon for Sylvia's youngest. We found a few Pokémon Stops but I don't think any actual Pokémon were located.
That's okay though, it was a good walk and we swung around to hit up the marsh and to see what was there. A few turtles and quite a few ducks.
All in all, it was a good day with lots of fun for the girls.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

"The progress consists of change." Miguel de Unamuno.
Back to a city where you have lived is always special. There are memories in every corner, some places have changed and others remain almost identical, but we are no longer the same. In this new visit to Taiwan I could photograph again places that I immortalized years ago, and it was something fabulous to realize how much I had progressed as a photographer since then.
This view is the most famous of Taipei. If the sunset seems to be great you need to arrive here several hours in advance to be able to place the tripod, because there are always a lot of local and foreign photographers looking forward to capturing this amazing image of the city . Despite arriving two hours before dusk, the two viewpoints were completely occupied, but I did not resign myself to run out of the photo and I decided to try to find a place from the trails that run up the mountain. When it seemed that there would be no way, I found a small gap between some plants that I could also include as a foreground of the image. I could not leave Taipei without getting this incredible picture I had desired for so long.

"El progreso consiste en el cambio." Miguel de Unamuno.
Volver a una ciudad en la que has vivido es siempre especial. Hay recuerdos en cada rincón, algunos lugares han cambiado y otros permanecen casi idénticos, pero nosotros sí que ya no somos los mismos. En esta nueva visita a Taiwan pude volver a fotografiar lugares que años atrás ya inmortalicé, y fue algo fabuloso para darme cuenta de cuánto había progresado como fotógrafo desde entonces.
Esta vista es la más famosa de Taipei. Si el atardecer promete es necesario llegar aquí con varias horas de antelación para ser capaz de colocar el trípode, ya que siempre hay una gran cantidad de fotógrafos locales y extranjeros deseando capturar esta impresionante imagen de la ciudad. A pesar de llegar dos horas antes del crepúsculo, los dos miradores estaban completamente ocupados, pero no me resigné a quedarme sin la foto y busqué por los senderos que recorren la montaña. Cuando parecía que no habría manera, encontré un pequeño hueco entre algunas plantas que además pude incluir como primer plano en la parte inferior de la imagen. No podía marcharme de Taipei sin conseguir esta increíble fotografía que había deseado durante tanto tiempo.

“When did humans first create music?”
Due to an annoying blister on Rishabh’s toe, we decided against climbing the high dunes, and instead, waded along the enchanting Medano creek to keep thing easy for him. Medano is a seasonal waterbody that flows when snow melts in higher altitudes… four to five weeks every year. Today, the creek was flowing gently on the wet sand, barely above our ankles at its deepest grooves. Gifts offered by this meek river were being enjoyed by one and all – children and children-at-heart were splashing in it and others had found a wet seat on one of its many sand bars that were a foot or so high. Rishabh and I had settled down on one such sandbar. The creek was washing over our bare feet, which were visually fluttering in it. The wind was mild, the sunshine was bright, and the surrounding scenery (above) was impressive; it was a recipe for a peaceful few minutes. But peaceful it wasn’t.
A group of young adults, about 300-400 yards from us, were playing popular songs loudly on their hefty loudspeakers, which they had brought over for their picnic along with their devil-may-care-attitude. This was a national park – the Great Sand Dunes national park– and etiquette of such temples dictate enjoying the place without marring it for others. But these are young people who know everything due to google, and are used to gratification instantly, as if hedonic pleasure is some ‘a-minute-to-cook’ noodle. I sincerely feel sad for this generation. They dig a lot, but nothing much sinks in. They want to smell good, but don’t know how to smell wildflowers. They smile wide for their selfies, but to other human beings, they offer 'smile' emojis.
Rishabh was visibly upset with the wild bunch. To pacify, I reminded him that they were playing one of his favorite songs. “Not here!”, he said firmly. Equally agitated as him, I wondered if this old place had any medication for this new age agony. “Close your eyes and try listening to everything else”, I told Rishabh and did so myself. Slowly waves of man-made music faded from my ears. Cleansed somewhat, I heard the faint chortle of the creek. The giggle was not uniform, but it was rhythmic – the creek knew how to hold time in a rhyme, an art it must have learned from melting spirits of the mountains. Every now and then, a somewhat more vigorous wave would rush through a little sand-canyon and create eddies that percussed like a drum. Braiding with aquatic acoustics, large chunks of sand would now and then dislodge from the bar, splash on the flowing water, and create a roaring crescendo like an orchestra gong. Clearly, the creek was on a song, but only for humble ears that knew how to drop pretenses and court purity.
Somewhen then, breaking the creek’s hypnotism, Rishabh asked, “When did humans first create music?” My son often asks such questions– somewhat silly on the surface, but frustratingly deep to effectively respond. But this time, I had an answer. I said, “Perhaps, a long time ago, when a father and son sat patiently by a creek and heard it warble.”
PS: Zoom into those dunes for human figures, if you care about scale.

The only vacant shop on New Bond Street.
Don't stare at the screen for too long though otherwise you might end up signing a long lease with no break clause....
This is a B&W, square format version of my previous upload. Given my massive backlog of images I really do need to stop producing / uploading different versions of the same shot but in this instance I thought it was justified as they both have a different 'feel' to each other.
Whilst this version is much more 'graphic' and the composition probably 'tighter' (i.e, the 1/3 of the frame I've lost doesn't add anything with regards the images 'message') I do like the way subtle browns are interrupted by the blue 'One Way' sign. In the B&W version the significance of the sign is greatly downplayed so I guess it depends on whether the sign adds anything to the shot...... Whilst I'm not sure it adds to the 'message' some might consider the fact it's pointing in the opposite direction to the woman's direction creates a subconscious tension...... Anyway, I think that's quite enough thinking for a Sunday.....

As the street slopes slightly uphill from left to right this adds to the feeling of being an optical illusion.
I arrived in London several hours before the London Flickr Group Photowalk was due to start so I thought I'd indulge in a spot of street photography. Oxford St provided plenty of colourful vacant shop hoardings for background so it was interesting to see that the luxury brands that line New Bond Street seemed to be largely unaffected. I wonder what that might say about society........

Established in 1883, Bradley Lock and Key continues in business in the Historic District of Savannah, Georgia. The interior resembles a key museum, with old keys and machinery throughout the first floor.
The shop has remained in the Bradley family since its opening. The father of the current owner, William Houdini Bradley, was purportedly deeply involved in spiritualism, hypnotism and séances. The legend is that the father, Aaron, was close to the family of magician Harry Houdini, hence the reason for his son’s middle name, “Houdini.” The shop is also purportedly haunted. Shadowy figures have been reported moving through the aisles of old tools and other assorted oddities at night, and objects have been reported to move by themselves.

Odylic Force. —is the name given in the mid-19th century to a hypothetical vital energy or life force by Baron Carl von Reichenbach. In western popular culture the name is used for prana to refer to spiritual energies or the vital force associated with living things from Field and String (Invisible Lines of Power
Among the sources of Western esotericism, the Hermetica is the most prominent. It is a collection of writings on cosmology, astrology, alchemy, and magic, and it has its origins in the Egyptian city of Alexandria. The Hermetica is attributed to Hermes Trismegistus. Thoth, the Egyptian god of wisdom and magic, is a significant figure in the Hermetica. Greeks in Egypt came to identify Thoth with their god Hermes.
Hermetism, in its ancient context, is closely related to pagan Neoplatonism. Neo-Platonists practiced Theurgy, a form of pagan mystical practice and magical ritual. The concept of theurgy came from the Chaldean Oracles, which describe the physical world as a prison from which the higher human soul must escape.
Gnosticism is a heresy from the early Christian era. The word Gnosticism comes from the Greek word gnosis, meaning “knowledge” or “insight,” and it pertains to hidden or secret spiritual knowledge. Gnostics believe that their souls are trapped in an imperfect world and that through esoteric knowledge they can be freed from the prison of this material world.
During the Italian Renaissance, a priest named Marsilio Ficino taught new spiritual concepts of Platonism and the Hermetica. This caused a revival of Neoplatonism and Hermetism. During this time, Giovanni Pico della Mirandola blended Kabbalah with Hermeticism. Then came figures such as Johannes Reuchlin, Johann Trithemius, and Henry Cornelius Agrippa, who mixed forms of Hermeticism with Neoplatonism, Neopythagoreanism, magic, astrology, alchemy, and Cabala. After came John Dee, who was an advisor to Elizabeth I. He immersed himself in astrology, alchemy, and Cabala. John Dee and Edward Kelley collaborated in angel magic for several years. And an influential figure in medicine named Paracelsus, combined alchemy with Hermetic and Neoplatonic ideas to form his medical theories. The Emerald Tablet, one of the oldest alchemical writings, played a major role in Renaissance esotericism. The saying, “as above, so below,” comes from the Emerald Tablet.
Christian theosophy emerged in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in reaction to the strict orthodoxy of the Lutheran Reformation. Jacob Boehme was the figure behind the start of this movement. His ideas influenced intellectual movements such as Romanticism and Idealism in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Platonism and Hermeticism are an essential part of theosophy. Rosicrucianism also arose in the seventeenth century. “From its obscure origins, the Rosicrucian myth would inspire literature, eighteenth-century Masonic adaptations, the rituals of the Golden Dawn, the leading magical order of the modern occult revival, and still exerts a powerful mystique today.”
Many secret societies formed in the eighteenth century, with their different esoteric beliefs. Many of these societies had relationships with the various Masonic lodges. Continental Freemasonry latched onto many of the esoteric ideas of these societies. The higher degrees of Freemasonry usually incorporated themes of theosophy, Rosicrucianism, and alchemy. Therefore, in the eighteenth century, Freemasonry was a major conduit for the spread of Western esotericism.
Emanuel Swedenborg had a great influence on eighteenth-century theosophy and was a major player in the development of modern esotericism. The Enlightenment influenced esoteric ideas, and they were accepted by many eighteenth-century illuminists. Then came Franz Anton Mesmer, who developed the theory of animal magnetism. His legacy can be traced to the early beginnings of modern Spiritualism. Animal magnetism was rooted in esoteric traditions. A key figure in animal magnetism was Justinus Kerner. His work became well-known throughout Europe. Another key figure was Baron Jules Dupotet de Sennevoy, who used animal magnetism to “unlock the secrets of magic.” His ideas influenced modern occultism. Helena Blavatsky, one of the founders of modern Theosophy, was a big fan of Dupotet. She also linked animal magnetism to magic. A man named James Braid coined the term “hypnotism” to describe animal magnetism. Hypnosis played a major role in the development of modern psychology. (Though they stripped the occult “ideas” from animal magnetism (hypnotism), I consider hypnotism to be an occult “practice.” Both Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung experimented with hypnosis.
In the mid-nineteenth century, occultism was introduced to America, predominantly through forms of animal magnetism, Swedenborgianism, and Freemasonry. Animal magnetism was introduced to America by Charles de Poyen. It quickly spread among occultists and spiritualists and was often combined with Swedenborgian ideas. Then came Andrew Jackson Davis, who communicated with a spirit he later identified as Swedenborg. He wrote a book called The Principles of Nature, which utilized Swedenborg’s ideas. His book sold many copies and became one of the founding texts of modern Spiritualism. Out of animal magnetism came the movements of New Thought and Christian Science, which integrated traditional Christian ideas with nineteenth-century metaphysical traditions. Next came modern Spiritualism, with its entertaining showmanship (self-moving furniture, self-playing musical instruments, and body levitation). Although the concepts of Swedenborg and animal magnetism were part of modern Spiritualism, the movement emerged independently of these influences.
The modern occult revival of the nineteenth century was complex. Romanticism sparked interest in the mysterious and unknown, thus creating an interest in animal magnetism, Spiritualism, and magic. A man named Eliphas Lévi became a pioneering figure in this Western occult revival. Lévi mixed ideas of animal magnetism with his philosophy of magic. Lévi used the Kabbalah and the Tarot as a source of magical symbolism. Much of modern occultism recognizes the Tarot as a root of mystical symbolism and imagery. Aleister Crowley believed himself to be a reincarnation of Lévi. Helena Blavatsky was also a fan of Lévi. In the second half of the nineteenth century, a Freemasonry order called the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia was founded. In turn, some of its members founded the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. The Golden Dawn produced various offshoots, impacting Western esoteric traditions during the twentieth century.
Arthur Edward Waite came out of the Golden Dawn. He was a poet, scholar, mystic, and occultist. He was a prolific writer on esoteric matters. He was also a co-creator of the Rider-Waite TAROT card deck, which is one of the most popular Tarot decks. Aleister Crowley also came out of the Golden Dawn. Crowley wrote “The Book of the Law,” which stated, “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law!” Crowley used sex magick as a major tool for his magical system. Crowley referred to himself as the Great Beast 666. “Gerald Gardner, the founder of modern witchcraft, introduced Crowleyan magick into the neopagan Wiccan movement.” Dion Fortune, who had a great impact on modern Western esotericism, also came out of the Golden Dawn. She was one of the most influential twentieth-century occultists and ceremonial magicians. She had a significant influence on both later ceremonial magic and Wicca. “She was perhaps one of the first occult writers to approach magic and hermetic concepts from the psychology of Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung.”
The Theosophical Society was founded by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and Henry Steel Olcott. Blavatsky combined elements of Neoplatonism, Renaissance magic, Kabbalah, Freemasonry, ancient Egyptian and Greco-Roman mythology and religion, Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta into her religious system. Her new religious movement played a major role in the spread of esoteric traditions in the modern era, and it was likely the biggest Influence behind the modern occult revival. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Theosophy gained a large international following. Her work prepared the foundation for what is now known as the New Age movement.
Alice A. Bailey authored many books on Theosophy. She was one of the first writers to use the term New Age, and her works have significantly influenced the New Age movement. Alice and Foster Bailey founded the Lucifer Publishing Company, which was later named the Lucis Publishing Company. (The Theosophical Society had also used the name “Lucifer” for its early magazine.) World Goodwill, which is part of Alice Bailey’s Lucis Trust, is an accredited Nongovernmental Organization with the Department of Public Information at the United Nations. The Lucis Trust is also on the Roster of the United Nations Economic and Social Council.
Carl Jung, the famous psychiatrist, had a profound impact on the world of psychology and spirituality. Esoteric traditions profoundly shaped Jung’s understanding of the human psyche. Gnosticism deeply resonated with Jung’s theories. His ideas have had a significant influence on the New Age movement. Western esotericism gained renewed momentum from Jung’s implied spiritualization of the psyche.
“Ever since Plato’s separation of the body and the soul, Western esotericism has traced a path in which the soul has been granted some share in divinity.” Hermetism, Neoplatonism, and modern-day Western esotericism provide people with a vision of the cosmos in which their soul has divine purpose. With the popularity of New Age and neopagan philosophies in the West today, esoteric traditions will continue to evolve and lay claim to some sort of enlightened gnosis.
I think that modern esotericism will lead down the road to Alice Bailey’s vision of a world religion—the fusion of faiths. This concept has been around for a long time. Here is the concept: a one-world government is needed to unite mankind in order to create a world of peace and prosperity (political Gnosticism). To accomplish a one-world government, all religions must unite under one umbrella (spiritual Gnosticism). Many groups have been working towards this goal, such as the Parliament of the World’s Religions, the International Association for Religious Freedom, the World Congress of Faiths, Nostra Aetate, and Religions for Peace.
Nietzsche’s murder of God is an element of parousiastic Gnosticism, which seeks to destroy everything that is perceived as unjust (imperfect), and to replace it with a just (perfect) order through the power of human means and intellect. Therefore, the Christian God of the West has to go, and so does Western democracy. Just like the murder of God, Nietzsche’s transformation of man into the superman is an attempt to murder man. “Historically, the murder of God is not followed by the superman, but by the murder of man.” The Marxists must destroy capitalism and instate communism, thus killing off bourgeois society. They are trapped in this world of capitalism; thus, their world is a prison. The Marxists are trapped in a system of private property and must transcend private property, abolishing it forever. Marxists must transcend the evils of this capitalist world and evolve into the “socialist man”/“communist man.” They must destroy the current system to gain their utopia. Indeed, “socialism is man’s positive self-consciousness,” his gnosis.
“Communism is the riddle of history solved, and it knows itself to be this solution. The entire movement of history, just as its actual act of genesis—the birth act of its empirical existence—is, therefore, for its thinking consciousness the comprehended and known process of its becoming.” – Karl Marx
“The positive transcendence of private property as the appropriation of human life, is therefore the positive transcendence of all estrangement—that is to say, the return of man from religion, family, state, etc., to his human, i.e., social, existence.” – Karl Marx
Political Gnosticism is seen in communism and National Socialism. Political Gnosticism is alive and well today, with affluent people and organizations who want to transform our world into their utopian dream. The United Nations, with its Sustainable Development Goals, is the chief example. The World Economic Forum is another. Through their gnosis, they can bring peace and prosperity to the world.
“Queer theory brings knowing and being into the education of young children.” In queer theory, people are born (trapped) in the wrong body; their bodies are prisons. “Young people are absorbing the idea that the physical body is not part of the authentic self—that the authentic self is only the autonomous choosing self. This is ancient Gnosticism in new garb.”
Transhumanists want mankind to transcend into the superman. Man is trapped in this mortal body, but the goal is to someday attain immortality. They will use technology and super intelligence to solve man’s problems, to bring about a perfect world of peace and prosperity.
The Bible warns about the forming of a future one-world religion—the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth. It warns of a one-world cashless currency system, which will be connected to the Mark of the Beast. Without this one-world digital ID Mark, which will be located on the right hand or forehead, a person will not be able to buy or sell. The man who implements this system will be the Antichrist. His Mark will plunge mankind into the first stages of transhumanism. Those who refuse this transformation into the superman will be put to death—the murder of man. The Western religion of Christianity will be replaced with the worship of Caesar (the Beast). Western democracy will be replaced with totalitarianism.
The gnosis: if you eat the fruit, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God.
Hypnosis is a catch-all term for a wide array of phenomena surrounding the way our minds are influenced by suggestion. Sometimes the term is too broad and is lumped with phenomena marginally related making the word hypnotism almost meaningless.
American Psychological Association’s definition of hypnosis says hypnosis is a “state of consciousness involving focused attention and reduced peripheral awareness characterized by an enhanced capacity for response to suggestion.”
Consider what happens when you focus intently on a small rectangle of glass with shifting patterns of light and sound. How suggestible might you become? What kind of influences have you opened your unconscious mind to? Who might take advantage of this suggestibility and how might they use it in ways that benefit them and not you?

Finished uploading photos from the Rotolight Photowalk so I guess I should add a bit of variety before I start uploading photos of models taken on the Rotolight stand the the recent Photography Show........
I've uploaded a monochrome version of this photo of the only vacant shop on New Bond Street before but on reflection I think the colour version works quite well too given it's almost monochrome (if you know what I mean......).

From Wikipedia, "Bond Street in the West End of London links Piccadilly in the south to Oxford Street in the north. Since the 18th century the street has housed many prestigious and upmarket fashion retailers. The southern section is Old Bond Street and the longer northern section New Bond Street — a distinction not generally made in everyday usage.
The street was built on fields surrounding Clarendon House on Piccadilly, which were developed by Sir Thomas Bond. It was built up in the 1720s, and by the end of the 18th century was a popular place for the upper-class residents of Mayfair to socialise. Prestigious or expensive shops were established along the street, but it declined as a centre of social activity in the 19th century, although it held its reputation as a fashionable place for retail, and is home to the auction houses Sotheby's and Bonhams (formerly Phillips) and the department store Fenwick and jeweller Tiffany's. It is one of the most expensive and sought after strips of real estate in Europe."

Changing Images of Man is a 1974 report (revised in 1982) by the Stanford Research Institute (SRI International). This report can be summed up like this:
You have two options: your future can either be 1984 or the Brave New World.
“We have met the enemy and he is us!” We must reform the way we conceptualize the nature of mankind. Indeed, the mind (and body) is a human biocomputer, with programs and coding that can be analyzed, hacked, and altered. Our concepts of free will, freedom, and consciousness must be cast off for man to attain a peaceful, rational, and humane society in the future.
Changing images of man has a double meaning: man’s image has changed throughout history, and man’s image can be changed (manipulated). If we apply this idea to the present, what would be man’s image? Today, man’s image is one of transition. Since we are in the digital age, man’s image would reflect the digital world. Man looks into his screen, and his screen reflects back his digital world. Man’s image is being tokenized into the digital world. His image is becoming digitalized. His image is going to transition into transhumanism (merging man with the digital world). So man’s future image will be one of transhumanism. He will be a techno-slave. Indeed, the image of man is currently being manipulated toward the goals of the elite.
This report warns that our society is heading towards friendly fascism. This form of fascism “will come under the slogans of democracy.” It will be a “techno-urban fascism,” a “friendly sort of totalitarianism.” This is what this friendly fascism will look like: they will use military surveillance technologies to aid the police; they will use behavior-changing drugs and indoctrination in schools; they will attempt to manage the news; they will use personality screening and maintain files on pre-delinquent children, via coordination with school administrations and local, state, and federal authorities; they will use interconnected computer systems to collect peoples personal data like: employment records, criminal records, tax status, credit, insurance, and information about education.
What is their solution to this friendly fascism? They want, instead, to introduce a friendly fascism that has a shiny spiritual veneer. They want man to “evolve” to a higher consciousness, a super consciousness, which lies at the boundary between the conscious and unconscious parts of the mind. This evolution of consciousness will be a personal, spiritual, social, and cultural evolution. They want people to tap into this consciousness through their dream states. They want them to evolve into a hivemind, where they can telepathically communicate with one another. This could possibly be achieved through mystical experiences, psychic phenomena, esoteric ideas, occult practices, hypnotism, self-hypnotism, meditation, yoga, psychotherapy, psychology, psychochemical drugs, electrocranial stimulation, and cybernetics. “I think that cybernetics is the biggest bite out of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge that mankind has taken in the last 2000 years.”
This evolved man will see the inequality of the poorer nations. He will willingly give up his comfortable lifestyle. He will lower his living standards. He will share his wealth with the rest of the world. Men will collectively work together to accomplish equality (communism). And if they refuse to give up their wealth, they will be forced to give it up. This evolution is Gnostic in nature; it reminds me of Karl Marx, with his idea of man evolving into the socialist man/communist man. Out of this evolution will come a new system, a “new socialism,” which will be influenced by Freemasonry. “In ‘true Freemasonry’ there is one lodge, the universe-and one brotherhood, everything that exists. Each person has the ‘privilege of labor,’ of joining with the ‘Great Architect’ in building more noble structures and thus serving in the divine plan.”
The architects of this scheme must convince the masses that the earth has limited resources, which they term the “new scarcity.” They must convince the people that the earth is being overpopulated (today, climate change is the big scare they are pushing). With these supposed problems, man must be convinced that he needs to collectively band together. The architects of this scam must bring in a new economic and ecological system (known today as stakeholder capitalism and the green economy). To introduce this alternative way of life, they will introduce “behavior controls that would deprive the individual of freedoms” (which is known today as a social credit score system).
“Thanks to this initiative (the Green Economy Initiative) and the work of other agencies, ‘green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication’ was placed on the 2012 Rio+20 agenda and was acknowledged as a tool for achieving sustainable development.” – United Nations
“A crisis is often the catalyst for the redrawing of one’s preferred map.” A “crisis-oriented transformation” is likely to transform a culture rapidly. We saw some of this during COVID, which greatly affected our society and economy. People accepted a soft form of authoritarianism and the loss of freedoms. During COVID, they pushed vaccine passports. This mimicked Digital IDs. The unvaccinated could not go to certain places, because they didn’t have vaccine passports. The Canadian truckers had their bank accounts frozen. Those with alternative views were censored. These things mimicked a social credit score system with rewards and punishments. Society failed to think critically, thus proving that it was ready for the next step of the plan. Therefore, politicians touted the start of the Great Reset—a plan to build back better. So now we are in a transition period, a transition into a new economic order. As a result, we are being steered towards a major economic crisis. This “crisis-oriented transformation” will bring us into their new system. This system will use digital biometric IDs, CBDCs, and social credit scores.
The elites see multinational corporations as the “most effective mechanisms for husbanding the earth’s resources and optimizing their use for human benefit.” Giving multinational corporations the earth’s resources will supposedly lead to an “equitable sharing of the earth’s resources.” They will pressure corporations to help with the social engineering of society. The methods they will use to get corporations on board resemble those of a corporate social credit score system like ESGs. They will prod corporations, particularly multinational corporations, to shift their goals to line up with those of the (hijacked) public institutions. Indeed, the public institutions will be tools of indoctrination (today, these institutions promote things like DEI). They plan to use “corporations, foundations, political agencies, and voluntary associations” to help with the implementation of their plans. Today, this is called public–private partnerships. They will use networks at the local, regional, national, and world levels. This way, it will be quicker and easier for them to implement their new world order goals. They expect rapid social change, economic decline, and social disruption as they implement their new technocratic socialist order.
“We would thus hope not for a handful, but for a thousand heroes, ten thousand heroes-who will create a future image of what humankind can be.” They need an army of social(ist) justice warriors to bring about change. “The needed transformation cannot occur without both personal and institutional change.” This correlates with the left’s “long march through the institutions.”
They also want to experiment with a variety of family structures. They want to turn the family into “an extended unit,” which will provide “a larger source of meaning and significance.” So basically, the collective (government, schools, neighbors, and society) will raise your children in this new collectivist utopia. This extended family will be a “source of education,” and “a unit for work.” They want to “foster a period of experimentation and tolerance for diverse alternatives, both in life styles and in social institutions.” They also want to use “new experimental curricula.” Today, we have new experimental curricula such as critical race theory and queer theory.
They want the world’s population to embrace this new order. Their end goal is the Brave New World. In reality, those who refuse this new order will live out 1984, and those who accept it will live out the Brave New World. Though, as they admit, no transition will go smoothly. Everyone is going to feel some pain, and in a worst-case scenario, a lot of pain.
The Bible warns us about the Antichrist. Those who refuse the Mark of the Beast won’t be able to buy or sell, and they will be tracked down by the authorities. These people will experience the hell of 1984. But those who take the Mark of the Beast will evolve into transhumans, and they will experience the bliss of the Brave New World. They will be on a high, stimulated by soma frequencies. Thus, they will blissfully worship the Beast. They will evolve to a super consciousness; they will become one with the Beast.
God created man with a soul and free will. Those who accept the Mark of the Beast will lose their free will, because technology will control their allegiance and love for the Beast. Their free will is gonna be controlled by the Beast system. Never again will they have the free will to repent and turn to Jesus Christ. They will give up their free will; they will forfeit their own souls.
Revelation 14:9-11 “A third angel followed the first two, declaring in a loud voice: ‘If anyone worships the Beast and his Image, and takes the Mark on his forehead or his hand, that person will also drink of the wine of God’s anger that has been mixed undiluted in the cup of His wrath, and he will be tortured with fire and sulfur in front of the holy angels and in front of the Lamb. And the smoke from their torture will go up forever and ever, and those who worship the Beast and his Image will have no rest day or night, along with anyone who receives the Mark of his name.’”
Mark 8:36 “For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?”
