Study The Life Work Of

*This list has privately been e-mailed to folks in the past but here it is as a post as well.

All good information comes from the bottom up and not the top down. So never from rich universities, governments, corporations, aristocrats, celebrities, or the vast majority of main stream historical figures. Instead it comes from rough outsider individuals - Philosophers, magicians, mystics, shamans, sages, druids, witches, etc...  who have never been accepted by the village or township or city populous. 

So first, finding folks who know their stuff is difficult. As there are so many charlatans out there. Who are usually always either a dogmatist, salesmen, or both. When distilling a list, it's so hard to say something like "these folks are legit" which implies so many others not mentioned are, well... not. Which is certainly not the case as there are many more names I'm planning to get on here as well. Some of whom have been on the podcast and even a couple who support my work. Perhaps a better way to phrase this list is "these are folks who's bodies of work I have personally gotten the most out of to date" and suggest you look into them as well for study. 

I tweak this list a bit here and there annually, so expect it to be a living document. Adding on folks who's work I discover and absorb, and occasionally taking one off here and there if need be. That being said, please do anytime privately share other specific individuals who have influenced you as well. As we are always all ears.

Direct download backup: http://www.mediafire.com/file/vaii1a41vr8y6ek/AnInfinitePath_essay_The10CaseAffirmations.mp3

Paul Foster Case recommended saying these twice daily:

This is the truth about the Self.

0. All the power that ever was of ever will be is here now.

1. I am a center of expression for the Primal Will-to-Good which

eternally creates and sustains the universe.

2. Through me its unfailing Wisdom takes form in thought and word.

3. Filled with innerstanding of its perfect law, I am guided moment by moment along the Path of Liberation.

4. From the exhaustless riches of its Limitless Substance, I draw all things needful, both spiritual and material.

5. I recognize the manifestation of the undeviating Justice in all the circumstances of my life.

6. In all things, great and small, I see the beauty of the Divine Expression.

7. Living from that Will, supported by its unfailing Wisdom and innerstanding, mine is the Victorious Life.

8. I look forward with confidence to the perfect realization of the Eternal Splendor of the Limitless Light.

9. In thought and word and deed, I rest my life from day to day upon the sure Foundation of Eternal Being.

10. The Kingdom of Spirit is embodied in my flesh.

Know More News

 Adam Green's "Know More News" channel(s)
https://www.bitchute.com/channel/know-more-news/
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaRjFptz7970mppuiGuZtpQ/videos

So the small esoteric inner core of religion has great aspects, but exterior political big religion is bad. Many of us are not fans of religious, scientific, or materialistic dogma across the board, regardless of what system it stems from. 

Hubs for big religion are Mecca in Saudi Arabia, The Vatican for Catholicism in Rome, and Israel for Judaism. If you do some digging on “Triple Crown Trinity” you may be able to find  sources on these being hubs of religious control and their ties to banking and military. 

If you had asked me a couple years ago, which one of these is the biggest problem at this point in the timeline, I would have said the Vatican for numerous reasons. Which I did when I was on Ryan Peverly's "Occulture" podcast. Yet, as I get older and wiser, I’m realizing its Israel. Which is super bad news folks. Due to their political behaviors, and their current political iron grip on the United States, claiming to be one of the US's best friends, but very often just using the US and its military for their own gain. All US middle East occupations and actions are secretly for Israel for example.

Now, there is a difference between criticizing these hubs of power, and criticizing people of those faiths. Most of the Muslims, Christians, Catholics, and Jews on the planet are good and peaceful people. It’s a major mistake to be a loser from the Ku Klux Clan or some Neo Natzi group and blanketly dismiss and entire race or belief of people, yet their is an absolute Grand Canyon of difference between that, and criticizing the policies and leaders of these hubs of power, and the people within them that perpetuate them. Political leaders within Judaism especially have special PR marketing tricks and traps they use whenever one criticizes Israeli war crimes. Countering with constant attempts to label them the same as folks who narrow mindedly criticize Jews as a whole. It’s their special blanket term “Anti-Semetic”. For it's Israel's behavior itself which is what really spreads "Antisemitism" around the world.

The trail and history (HIS STORY) goes much deeper, and I never aim to soley focus on parapolitics, but in order to do my part to speak out against these wrongs, I will continue to share more of this information in the future. So expect essays and discussions from me both privately and publicly in the future.

To dive in to this sobering but important material, which you will never ever hear from top down news, especially from within the United States, Adam Green's independent venture “Know More News” is worth your time. He does a pretty extensive job of highlighting Israeli skullduggery. While not falling into the traps of bigotry that overarchingly dismisses all people of Jewish faith.

Down With The Glurge!

A reminder on this winter solstice... To say "Bah Humbug" to the spattered buckets of sticky sweet glurge and may the true origins of the winter solstice be de-occulted and re-illuminated.

An essay on this is in the works. In the interim, here's an extract on the subject via BIG THINK: "Christmas as we know it today is a relatively new holiday. Many traditional elements we associate with Christmas predate Christianity by many centuries. There is also a lot of debate as to how much corporate and commercial interests have influenced this holiday as well."

Book Share: Cosmic Trigger

"Cosmic Trigger" by Robert Anton Wilson.

http://www.mediafire.com/file/u0rnnkumu47zr3e/Robert_Anton_Wilson_-_Cosmic_Trigger_Vol._1_-_The_Final_Secret_Of_The_Illuminati.pdf

http://www.mediafire.com/file/vhys3h452950bmu/Audiobook_Cosmic_Trigger_Vol._1_-_The_Final_Secret_Of_The_Illuminati.mp3

This book kicks so much ass. I HIGHLY recommend it to folks newer to alternate philosophy, research, and the occult or esoteric. Or if one is more experienced in those areas, it's still worth your time as well. 

It's the first in what is actually a series of three, though vol I is the best and stands on its own. It deals with R.A.W.'s experiences during a time in which he put himself through a process of "self-induced brain change" as well as vignettes of his earlier life. It does a beautiful job of introducing you to names that are very worth following. At the time of it's writing in the late 70's, many of them had never been heard of but are much more known now. Not too mention his great lite hearted and comedic writing style dealing with such things as claims to communicate telepathically with extraterrestrials residing in the Sirius star system.

It's also been adapted as a theatrical stage play.

There's a Reason Why "Laptop's" A Now Called Notebooks

Because setting them on your lap for extended periods is not beneficial for you health. We’ve even heard that laptops/tablets/cellphones shouldn’t be set against a child’s lower stomach. For over the years that could cause infertility.

A solution! The laptop HARApad - https://harapad.com/shop/laptop/laptop-emf-protection/

Keep your bits and pieces in the best long term shape possible  when having a laptop, the name of which  the tech companies have very quietly gotten away from, because they know  the micro radiation from should not be placed on your lap for hours at a time. The HARApad is a special piece of wood with protective layers embedded which keep you shielded from such small, but none the less, still existent, negative energetics. I have mine in my street photography / laptop bag at all times.

Speaking of bits and pieces, an essay on circumcision is imminent.

If You're Going to Be Doing A Home Remodel...

Check out "RF Shielding Foil" by "Safe Living Technologies" https://slt.co/Products/RFShieldingFoil/RFShieldingFoil.aspx

Designed to block analogue and pulsed digital signals from exterior sources such as Microwave Transmitters, cell phone towers, Wi-Fi signals, Smart Meters and more. Of course it would allow your own Wi-Fi in your own home to reach you. Just not outside Wi-Fi. So if done well, you should really only see your network instead of a deluge of other peoples networks penetrating your body temple.

I recently installed this in the walls of a bedroom our our families house which we are re-modeling. It would probably be too tin foil hat to have it in the walls of your whole home, but the bedroom where you sleep and thus likely spend 30 to 40% of your time is not a bad idea. Or might be great to install throughout if you're thinking of building a tiny house.

Oldie But Goodie - Podcast 69: Alexander Ward

http://www.mediafire.com/file/p763coxgr0nqel1/NoveltyGenerators_ep061AlexanderWard.mp3

https://wardyworks.art/

On a side note with Alex, he's been diving a bit into Augmented Reality of late which can be seen at his website here. "Virtual Reality" is full world immersion and "Augmented Reality" is a changing or adjusting of what's in front of you. Either via headset but more commonly with smartphones since they have build in tracking capability. Both VR + AR will always be the 99 cent store version of the psychedelic experience of course. Here's a chat I did numerous years back on the subject for the Psychedelic Salon. https://psychedelicsalon.com/podcast-422-visualizing-the-psychedelic-experience-using-computer-graphics/

The works shared on this Patreon are what I am passionate about and, as always, thanks for your support regarding. However, they currently make less than minimum wage. So one day job gig I do is freelancing with Tactic, a VR/AR studio in San Francisco which I am an occasional Creative Director for. All of the subject matter is bland corporate flat hollow fuzz yet brings in the dollars to have a living wage. Go figure. 

One extra cool gig Tactic did which I give credit for is with a company called Rabble Wine to make AR labels for their bottles which have an alchemical feel and are kind of cool. Example video here. The point is the technology is there, so do we use it for mind expanding content or do we use it to sell crap sugar water? Bravo to Alex for using AR more consciously with subject matter that resonates with his personal mind expanded cosmology. 

Emerald Tablet Guide

A break down of the difference between "The Emerald Tablet" and "The Emerald Tablet of Thoth The Atlantean."  The first is a foundational Hermetic text and the other is a new age work which has some juicy stuff in it but the authorship is fishy. Thus this is a good lesson in decernment.

https://adeptinitiates.com/emerald-tablets-thoth-emerald-tablet-definitive-guide/

I recently realized I mis-labeled "The Emerald Tablet" as "The Emerald Tablet of Thoth The Atlantean" on my recommended reading list. Correction has been made there. Always a student!

Book Share: Hermetic Alchemy Science And Practice

In an effort to always continue to make your patronage worth while, we're going to start sharing digital (e-book) PDF and audiobook versions of books from the recommended reading list with $10/month patrons directly here. I of course would not do this with works of modern authors who earn income royalties off their creations, so these will likely always be from authors who have exited their meat bodies. 

The PDF's are usually easily finable online. Often via archive.org. 

Since philosophical or esoteric books are quite dense and hard to read, audiobook listening has been very life-transformative on this end and perhaps for you as well. Yet audiobook versions of these works are non existant so I create them myself from the PDF's using the technique mentioned in this blog post Reading Through Your Ears. As there are many excuses the student can output for not reading during our busy modern lives, yet little excuses for not being able to listen. 

Our first share begins with the brain melting "Hermetic Alchemy Science And Practice" by the incredible Paul Foster Case. Here it is:

Reading List

The autodidact must be a life-long reader. So here's my recommended reading list (in no particular order) which has typically been given directly to new $10/month patrons but we also wanted to do a post here with it as well. 

There are hundreds if not thousands of good books of substance out there. This list is continually being refined and updated to works which I personally have found the most life transformative. 

Please send me any others that have really rocked your world as well.

Artists Who Left Secrets

Thomas Cole - The Angel Appearing to the Shepherds.1833-34.

Here's a list of artists who left secrets embedded in their artworks. Leonardo da Vinci is the classic one, secretly painting a brain in the Creation of Adam for example. My take on that is to highlight the mental construct of the universe veiled through Catholic dogma.

These secret codes were either occulted into artworks because they are too juicy to just put forward straight up, or in the alchemical tradition, because the deeper subconscious information can not be portrayed so much in words but more through symbol.

This is the beginnings of a list which I'll keep adding to and adjusting at this post here through time. Sharing as well with those who have eyes to see. Much to discuss regarding.

Leonardo da Vinci
Heinrich Khunrath
Matthäus Merian
Arnold Böcklin
Thomas Cole
Johann Daniel Mylius
Nicolas Flamel
Gustav Dore
Basilius Valentinus
Johann Valentin Andreae
