Lyrics - Cowgirls Are Fun

In about 2008 i wrote a song with my friend Ruthless about a sex-worker holding up a client at gunpoint. Here are the lyrics, below which is a link to a performance of this song.


*****
INTRO/CHORUS
take your tongue out my mouth cos i'm kissing you goodbye
you're kissing me so sweetly i'm forgettin all the reasons why
i'm leaving you now honey like you always knew i would
but goodbye kisses shouldn't feel so good

VERSE
this kiss it done remind me of the time that we first me
you were standin on the street corner in high heels and fishnets
you walked up to me and asked me if i wanted a good time
i said hell yeah and i took you back to mine
as soon as we were through the door you asked me for cash
i laughed it off and dropped my pants and slapped you on the ass
you rode my like a cowgirl like any good cowgirl would
something about ya told me you were still no good

CHORUS
take your tongue out my mouth cos i'm kissing you goodbye
you're kissing me so sweetly i'm forgettin all the reasons why
i'm leaving you now honey like you always knew i would
but goodbye kisses shouldn't feel so good

VERSE
after the bedroom gymnastics and we'd slept where we laid
you jumped up and said I gots to get paid
so i reached for my wallet but you reached for my gun
i never realised cowgirls could be so much fun
i said, "honey you won't shoot, you aint got the balls!"
she said, "that don't matter. If i shoot straight, i'll soon have yours!"
so i gave her my wallet, she took my money with a smile
then she pressed her lips against mine and kissed me for a long long while

and SHE said

CHORUS/OUTRO
take your tongue out my mouth cos i'm kissing you goodbye
you're kissing me so sweetly i'm forgettin all the reasons why
you're leaving me now honey like I always knew you would
but goodbye kisses shouldn't feel
but goodbye kisses shouldn't feel
but goodbye kisses shouldn't feel so good

Lyrics - The Devil and Tommys Brother

Lyrics written a couple of years ago about a friend of mine who passed away in 2010 (R.I.P. Lex - but not too peaceful, you better wake up as a zombie)

fuck you internet! (middle finger incorporated)

*****
VERSE
25 Days 8 Months and a year since you've been gone
finally I worked up the nerve to write your song
cos it's hard when you've lost a friend
to express yourself through all the voices in my head
and the noises all around me, and big brother on TV
in a world where 1984 has come true for all to see
you had so many thoughts and you always spoke your mind
we could never shut you up, even when we tried

now you will never speak again
others have to speak for you instead

CHORUS
All the Undead are staring at the lens, my friend
all the undead are staring at the lens
they can't see past the lies, flashing across their eyes
cos television left us all brain dead
living on a planet with stupid people everywhere
try to build a better world, nobody seems to care
they'd rather watch big brother, they'd rather just stare
all the undead are staring at the lens

VERSE
for you my first thought was those comics that you'd drawn
that your brother tommy showeed to me
there were stoner zombie stories of resin and its glory
but i never really got into your queer vampire zine
then one day you showed up at tommy's place
saying you're moving to adelaide and you need a place to stay
and finally I got to see the face

of the one who'd made those diy creations that you'd made

now you will never draw again
others have to draw for you instead




CHORUS
All the Undead are staring at the lens, my friend
all the undead are staring at the lens
they can't see past the lies, flashing across their eyes
cos television left us all brain dead
living on a planet with fuckin zombies everywhere
try to build a better world, nobody seems to care
they'd rather watch big brother, they'd rather just stare
all the undead are staring at the lens

BRIDGE
By the way you were wrong there is no camera in the tv
the voices that you heard were attempts at communications by ET
while the government is watching us the aliens they are watching too
all of us can do whatever the fuck we wanna do


VERSE
this nation was a prison once, you'd say it still is now
that seemed true to me the day we put you in the ground
i felt a prisoner that day trapped inside my head
instead of speaking bout how i felt i kept my mouth shut instead

i get too scared to talk sometimes, why? i don't know
just like i was too scared to call you up on the phone
i thought i had all of the time in the world back in those days
this is my unsent letter, my phone call never made

others have to live for you instead


CHORUS
All the Undead are staring at the lens, my friend
all the undead are staring at the lens
they can't see past the lies, flashing across their eyes
cos television left us all brain dead
living on a planet with fuckin zombies everywhere
try to build a better world, nobody seems to care
they'd rather watch big brother, they'd rather just stare
all the undead are staring at the lens


OUTRO
did ya cross the pearly gates or does the devil have you now?
are you flying through outer space or rotting away with your body underground
If the atheists are right, and you are just dead flesh
then you better come back as a zombie so we can have another sesh

Ab Initio, Pax Chaotica

excerpt from the Biblios Infinitas Quantimotheos,  a book being written now and forever

*****

Book of Origins

Chapter 1

1. In the beginning was the limitless, and in the limitless was contained all things that had occured and all things yet to be, and all was one. The limitless was all being, eternal, beyond form

2. And yet, the limitless grew weary of its power of limitless being, and by its will it chose to experience limits (being limited) again.

3. In doing so, the limitless created the void. The void was the primary limit, without being, timeless, and formless

4. Thus the limitless experienced being limited once more, which the limitless dreamed to overcome. In a burst of light the limitless filled the limiting void with his being.

5. Since then light and void have forever danced, with the limitless dreaming endless forms of limits and then dreaming ways to overcome them and reunite with its limitlessness.

6. The limitless has all but forgotten that it is one limitless being, and have begun to believe in the imaginary limits that it has dreamed for itself.

7. Sometimes, a being(s)¹ remember(s) these truths about itself, and find(s) ways past the limits that are presented to them. Thus may a being know/become the limitless.


1. aspect(s) of the limitless

You are one with whatever creator there is/was and will be. We are all one with the androgynous/hermaphroditic Creative force of All, always were and always will be. Anyone else who says otherwise is a lying sack of isht.

Peace and Chaos be with you

The Truth about God

God was invented in a vat in an Ancient Kingdom it what is now North Korea - this is the real reason the West is threatening them with war and declaring the region a "Rogue State". God escaped from the underground facility containing the Holy Vat in which He was Born (so he styled his birthplace) and started wreaking havoc and reaping worship across all continents of the Earth.

One of the first Acts of God was that he destroy the facility in which he was created. This started a serious of chain reactions of hyper-destructive power that shifted the continents and caused nuclear explosions across the face of the Earth. One such explosion situated in the Gobi Desert was responsible for creating the white man, dated at 30,000 years ago by serious researchers of the matter such as Bill Lee[1] and Brion Gysin. Thus the White Race were a complete accident, and not at all the descendants of the warmongering extra-terrestrial beings from whom they claim their heritage.

The next few Acts of God were the installations of the various religions that upheld Him, so that the Earthlings gave him many things. For a little while, the old gods allowed this ragamuffin God of earth to walk amongst the Earthlings[2], and God did travel from place to place convincing humans to worship Him and give him all their stuff, and Women, so he could rape them[2]. Eventually the other, older goddesses (and gods) saw Him for the self-centred wanker that He is, and trapped him in a locked Spaceship currently in orbit of Saturn, along with all the other spiritual criminals of the solar system.

The prehistoric upheaval caused by the willful destruction of God's cage, by Him, wiped out much of the then highly advanced cultures of the time period. The peoples who remained afterwards tried to remember the story of God and how He destroyed the Earth, but over time the memory turned to legend, and legend faded to myth[3].

And the Holy Vat in which He was born became lost in translation, and it became "a well"
And when the wells dried up because of God's wrath and destruction the wells became empty.
And Emptiness is Godliness[4], which is also Nothingness - there was nothing in the wells
And so it came to be said that God was born of Nothing

After God was thrown in prison for his Criminal Spirituality[5], people were worried, for they had come to depend on God and His power. The priests of Him had a council, deep underground near the traditionally accepted birthplace of God's - though back then they were way off on where the Holy Vat had been and had settled in Sumer instead of Korea. These priests of He decided that the best thing to do (for them) would be to continue on with the traditions business as usual. Conservatism was born, and the upholding of the Old Ways and Following Tradition became the new Law, and these priests claimed this Law came from God. The Priests of He did say that they spoke for Him, and asked for many things and most of the stuff, and they became rich and well-laid, for playing God.

So the human race was enslaved to a Law made up by priests that has very little to do with God directly. Money shortly followed, and a building project was soon implemented to stratify all the corners of the earth. Meanwhile God heard about these happenings in his orbit-prison of Saturn, and He was pleased.

Resignation of Pope Benedict, Heaven's Gate is (finally) Unlocked

The name of the city Babylon, one of the most ancient cities of so-called civilization, translates as the Gates of Heaven, from Akkadian bāb-ilû "gateway of god(s)", or:

 ... from Greek version of Akkadian Bab-ilani "the gate of the gods," from bab "gate" + ilani, plural of ilu "god" (cf. Babel). The Old Persian form, Babiru-, shows characteristic transformation of -l- to -r- in words assimilated from Semitic  (source)

SO babylon is/was "God's Gate" or "heaven's gate". This name Babylon in turn comes from a Sumerian Term "Kadingir", meaning the Gateway of the Gods.

 ...from Ancient Greek Βαβυλών, from Akkadian bāb ili ‘Gate of God’, translation of Sumerian Ka-dingir; the name of the ancient Chaldean capital and Biblical city of the Apocalypse... (source)

The sumerian culture, of Sumer/sumeria, was first settled between ca. 4500 and 4000 BC. It appears the concept of "(the) God's gate" is up to 6,500 years old. Let us now look at the evolution of this concept.

In modern folklore we are told that "St Peter" is guarding the gates to heaven, the pearly gates, or "heavens gate". In this way mr saint peter is similar to "king yama" of eastern tradition popularized in modern pop culture as King Yemma of Dragonball Z.

A google search revealed that this was also a job for the ancient Egyptian god Osiris, of the famous Isis-Osiris-Set myth that David Icke and many others go on about.

Another similar god is "Dis Pater", who was a Roman god of the underworld, later subsumed by Pluto and/or Hades. According to the prolific (ancient) roman author Cicero:

Cicero ... derives the name of Dis Pater from dives, suggesting a meaning of "father of riches", directly corresponding to the name Pluto (from Greek Πλούτων, Ploutōn, meaning "wealthy"). 

We should note here, however, that  "Many of Cicero's etymological derivations are not to be taken seriously, and may indeed have been intended ironically." (source)

Even with that in mind, Cicero is telling us that the father of all riches is the judge of the afterlife... let us see if and/or how that applies to so-called "saint" peter, the traditional father of the christian church.

Peter, from the greek name "Petros", means STONE.
Saint Petros is therefore, "saint stone", or dare I venture, "saint masonry" - i.e. the holy one of man-made stone.

St peter's chair is the symbolic chair, or throne, that the pope resides/sits in. This is because Simon Peter is seen by many as the first pope, the papacy descends directly from Simon Peter, who was given the primacy by jesus himself. This idea comes from a verse from the biblical book of Matthew:

Matthew 16:17-20: I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hell will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven".

 In modern folklore, supposedly Saint Peter is the one who waits "at the gates of heaven" and judges whether or not a person's recently departed soul goes through to heaven - or is sent 'down' to hell. Gates often have keys. Prior to catholicism, the earlier gatekeeper gods of the afterlife were often depicted with keys, such as Amun, featured in my earlier post about the Amarna Heresy:

The Ankh is Key

Or of course our old friend Janus, the roman two-faced "holy father" god:

A statue of st peter within the vatican city depicts him as holding keys...

Furthermore, St Peter's Basilica, the home of the Chair/throne of St Peter (holy masonman), IS SHAPED LIKE A KEY: 

From an article about metaphors in the Basilica layout

Can you see through the metaphor(s) here?

Saint Peter, the Holy Stone/Masonry "guards" the gate to heaven
The Pope, the "holy father", sits in THE chair of the holy stone - st peter's supposed successor.
The stone monument to St Peter is shaped like a key.
So the Pope holds the keys to the gates to heaven.

"No man can come to the father except through me"...

This is how all evil (for lack of a better word), satanic (for lack of a better word) religions (for lack of...) of the world work.

The only way to heaven is through our gate
Our man here has the keys, see?
And he left me a chair to sit in.
Bow to me and my chair and I'll let you in to heaven with my special key.

Oldest trick in the book. Literally.

Sumer/Babylon invented (discovered?) the heavens gate concept, which was successfully used to enslave/control people, treating them as sheep/livestock. This Heaven's Gate (aka the Gate of God) was later used in babylon to continue to enslave the masses. Later, Priests of Ancient Egypt invented the idea of a human "holy father" - who was the divine representative of the heavenly father, or invisible sky god, who judges everyone. Then, seeing how much more awesome the ancient egyptians were, these babylonian/sumerian scum moved their "heavens gate" to Egypt instead. At which point they installed the Osiris and Amun myths to install their own death gods. After Egypt went sour, (i.e. was crushed by the Macedonian conqueror Alexander "the great") a new seat was needed for the gatekeeper of heaven. Slowly this Holy Gate moved to Ancient Rome, and eventually the keys to heaven were handed to "st peter" as the exclusive gatekeeper of the afterlife.

Who gave an old man the keys to the gates of heaven?
NO ONE

The true gate to heaven is inside you, inside each and everyone one of us.

The notion of a physical human who represents the heavenly father (lit:sky god), who holds the keys to the heavenly gate, is a LIE invented to enslave people's minds, leading them to believe that they need this old man to speak to the heavenly father on their behalf.

It is the most successful lie/truth/idea ever created, an idea used for at least 5000 years to keep people under the thumb of the oligarchy whom tell the world that they represent god.

Heaven, is the sky.
Earth, is one world within the sky - one realm within heaven.
The ancient "division" between heaven and earth in all western creation myths is a similar lie, invented to keep people believing that those born on earth are somehow unworthy - unless of course they appeal to the old men who hold the keys to the gates to heaven. See also the lie of Original Sin.

This has led me to believe that yes, there IS an ancient secret society(s) controlling things 'behind the scenes'. A secret society which corrupts true spiritual movements, such as the one led by the nazarene circa 2000 years ago, and turn them into yet another heaven's gate plus holy father scenario. The Heaven's Gate cult has simply moved headquarters for thousands of years.

The modern concept of the Stargate in fiction - or, if David Wilcock, Dan Burisch and others are to be believed, in reality also - is there to lead us sheeple to understand that the gate to heaven is now moving to the US of A. (Though if there really is an ancient stargate technology, it blows the lid off this ancient bucket of temple-building shit. Clearly someone lost access to the real heaven's gate and started building pyramids/temples to represent it instead, forever building towers of babel).

Summary:
Earth, our planet, is one world within heaven.
All beings on earth are no less nor no more divine than those dwelling on any other heavenly body (aka stars/planets).
The gate to heaven is a metaphor for discovering your own divinity, holiness, godliness.
All/any can attain this understanding - that we are all divine, spiritual, holy beings.
Opening the gates to heaven is tantamount to recognizing that god (or in christian parlance, the Holy Spirit) is inside you

But:
Those who seek to profit from your misery will tell you that you lowly earthlings are not divine/holy enough.
They will tell you that we on earth are unholy - only heaven and god are holy.
They'll tell you that a holy father (lit: the pope) represents (holy) heaven here on (unholy) earth, so HE is holy, not the rest of us scum however.
They will tell you that there is only one gate to heaven - and they have access to it.
They'll tell ya that the holy father has the keys to get through it.
And they'll demand that you pay for the privilege.

Please don't think I am disrespecting Jesus or Muhammed or other prophets/messengers, who tell us, "peace and love to you all, you are all divine/holy/sacred".
I am merely saying that the religions built after their death or ascension are inevitably infiltrated and corrupted by those who would install their own (downright WRONG) message over the top of these true prophets.

Peace and Love and Light to you forever. You are Infinite. Anyone who tells you "there is only one way to heaven", or to eternal salvation, is a liar, or possibly a fool...

Hi, my names Quantim, and I have in fact found the true Gateway to the Heavens. I have the keys to it, and the gate is currently locked. I am the only one with access to it, but I'll let you go through it...
For a fee, of course

The resignation of Pope Benedict XVI is a symbolic victory for all of humankind. It is known that this man who sat in st peter's chair/throne, covered up pedophilia activity as a routine part of his job, prior to becoming pope, before being handed the metaphorical keys to the gates of heaven. We all suspect, deep down we know, that he too is a child-molesting scumbag who never deserved any respect -and is anything BUT "holy", and not worthy of being called a "father" either.

Is this sick pedophile holier than you? Does he to talk to the heavenly father for us?

With no-one sitting in st peter's chair, no-one is holding the keys to the gates of heaven,
THE GATES OF HEAVEN ARE FINALLY UNLOCKED.
Can you feel the divine, the spiritual, the heavenly, within you, around you?

St Peter's chair should remain empty, forever. We should, as a collective Humanity Being, reject these liars who tell us to run through their hoops, their gates, to become divine, holy
WHEN WE ALREADY ARE DIVINE

We are within God, not separate from him/her/it... and we never were.

Animals, Music = SPIRIT

In the 18 or so hours that I have been awake today, I have seen

• Ants (as usual)
• Spiders (also as usual)
• Cockroaches (boring)
• My cat Moose

I went for a (long) walk in Morialta Conservation Park this afternoon, and I filmed bits and pieces of what I did. On this journey I saw:

• A few Skinks
• Bees - eating gumtree sap and pollinating these native Grug things
• Some filthy humans
• a MURDER of Crows
• Just when I was leaving, I saw a Wallaby! (or very small kangaroo of some sort)

Most of those creatures were filmed - except the filthy humans, of course. Leaving the park at dusk, wandering home through smelly suburban streets, I met a grey neigbourhood cat (that I've never seen before), who was kind enough to let me pet/pat him. He was a good boy, yes he was, good TomCat.

After a midnight journey into my city's CBD for some successful street performance, On my way home I saw

• a new neighbourhood cat.
• Another neighbourhood cat - it was calico and it wanted to talk but not get too close
• a third ca- WAIT! it's a Koala

A koala. This is not the actual koala who spoke to me, mrerely an artists depiction.

Sitting on the side of the road at 4am singing songs to a Koala is fun, but to any onlookers it must have been strange and amusing to see. This koala was on the kerb, waiting to climb a tree, it paused when it saw me. We had a chat, of sorts, as it climbed the tree, pausing to look at me.

But here's why I mentioned these menial happenings:

All is spirit, All living things are Spirits, no less or greater than any other Spirits. Humans are just the most arrogant Earth-spirits (with the possible exception of felines) but other than that we humans are not fucking "special" compared to the other spirits (i.e. plants/animals, clouds/rivers, mountains/caves).

Walking around in nature with this knowledge - the knowledge that all stuff around is by and of the same spirit-stuff as my own being/happening - the result is that other 'animal' spirits see me as a one of "them"- the who-man becomes a spirit animal.

The wallaby from the afternoon was merely curious of me. I was bloody tired by that point and just wanted to go home, but i filmed it somewhat. The bees were not particularly agitated by my presence, though they have been in the past. The koala that i met, on the other hand, was listening to my music, repeatedly making eye contact, and not at all afraid, or aggressive for that matter.

All is spirit
Spirit knowledge is wordless, transcending mind-brain wordery thinkins. Spirit languages are also wordless.
Music is one such language of the spirit.
Animals and plants can learn to appreciate music, if the musician is grooving in Spirit mode. This can/will accelerate their (spiritual) evolution.

A chance encounter and I had a spiritual conversation with a Koala, it wanted more, but again I was homebound and homesick, cut our divine interaction short - or just right.

Remember:
the Omniverse is  a spiritual place
This universe is all material so it's hard to remember that it is built (on top) of the spiritual substrate (omniverse).

Do not confuse your Mind with your Spirit, (a la Rene Descartes)
For instance, my Spirit agrees with my body, that I should be sleeping right now, but my Mind wished to tell these info-stories, but i confused the two urgers, so here is this yang-splash-wank cumstain that you're reading. It's ok, the Spirit allows everything, it's the Mind that say Yes/No and creates distinction.

All those buddhist types could short-cut enlightenment descriptions by recognizing that their fancy explanations of "ego-less mind" is actually SPIRIT not mind at all

Spirit + Body + Mind, forever evolving

but spirit came first and always comes first (pun intended)

Lyrics - World Wide Debt

A song about the Global Financial (engineered) Crisis, and the reserve bank system, and ancient secret societies infiltrating real movements and turning them sour. Written about 2009 or so

VIDEO CLIP HERE

******
the global economy needs a lobotomy
the way it's going now it really stinks
cos it's run by finks in the Reserve Banks
who spend and lend & money that don't exist
they make up any number that they feel like
and give some out to every country
but just you wait, we made the mistake
of signing up without seein the hidden fee

and the fee i'm talkin bout is not financial
it's the price we pay for submitting to greed
the hungry cash machine it is alive now
upon us all does it feed

CHORUS
oh you can
enslave a nation with religion
you can keep a people down with police
but if you want an empire, you've gotta aim higher
and build an army with a pretence of world peace
now they've understood the truth of speedy conquest
and the secret is world wide debt
so you can sure bet that every dollar spent
funds the military industrial complex


Because we need banks, police and armies
To protect the interest of themselves
But just you wait
But the media will say
That there's more to it than just protecting wealth

The wealth of a few rich white men who've done it again
And enslaved a globe of people using lies
They did it on mars
and on planets orbiting other stars
With a pyramid scheme hierarchy disguise

And here on earth they started off in egypt
and from there they spread the disease
Infiltrating priesthoods and media machines
Oh I wonder when these evil scmucks will leave

Please get off my planet, leave please, leave

CHORUS
oh you can
enslave a nation with religion
you can keep a people down with police
but if you want an empire, you've gotta aim higher
and build an army with a pretence of world peace
now they've understood the truth of speedy conquest
and the secret is world wide debt
so you can sure bet that every dollar spent
funds the military industrial complex

so you can sure bet that every dollar spent
funds the military industrial (financial, pharmaceutical) complex

Lyrics - I Am Infinite (and so are you)

This song was written in the early hours of 23/2/2013, circa 3:23 am as the rocket clock tells it. The lyrics were adjusted and readjusted over the next 12 hours, in between naps.
(and further edited to match how I actually sing it on 30/06/2013)

We are Love
We are the way the truth
The light from up above
You are a holy thing
Sacred as they come
You don't need a saviour
You are enough

The Golden Verses of Pythagoras (&/or of his followers)

Nothing that the great Greek Mathematician and Revolutionary thinker Pythagoras may have written has survived. His followers, the BC Pythagorean religious sect, and the later, more philosophical AD Neo-Pythagorians attempted to preserve his teachings orally.

Bust of Pythagoras

Later some of these teachings were written down by a Neoplatonist named Hierocles of Alexandria, around 430 AD. We present them here, for posterity.

    1. First worship the Immortal Gods, as they are established and ordained by the Law.
    2. Reverence the Oath, and next the Heroes, full of goodness and light.
    3. Honour likewise the Terrestrial Daemons by rendering them the worship lawfully due to them.
    4. Honour likewise your parents, and those most nearly related to you.
    5. Of all the rest of mankind, make him your friend who distinguishes himself by his virtue.
    6. Always give ear to his mild exhortations, and take example from his virtuous and useful actions.
    7. Avoid as much as possible hating your friend for a slight fault.
    8. Power is a near neighbour to necessity.
    9. Know that all these things are just as what I have told you; and accustom yourself to overcome and vanquish these passions:--
    10. First gluttony, sloth, sensuality, and anger.
    11. Do nothing evil, neither in the presence of others, nor privately;

Akhenaten, Nefertiti and the Amarna Heresy

I've been asked by certain higher beings to Apotheosize the 13 dead apostles, finally after communing with these lofty folk for the last 10 years I can reveal their identities.
Firstly Akhenaten, the Heretic Pharaoh - someone who despite all efforts to silence him is singing his song of Unity, from beyond the grave and even from his grave.

ANCIENT EGYPTIAN CULTURE

Every story needs some back story, so:

Once upon in Ancient Egypt there was a pyramid scheme of hierarchical lies, a scheme in which all egyptians were trained/programmed to worship their "god-king", known as the Pharaoh. The hereditary title was carried by the rulers of Egypt, and the hereditary nature of throne of Egypt led to the encouragement of inbreeding between the ruling family. It was not uncommon for the Pharaoh to marry his sister, daughter, or another close female relative, and a royal wedding was indeed an event worth celebrating.

The chief instigators of this cultural program were the priesthoods of the various gods of the ancient egyptians. The priests encouraged the slaves and servants to give their worship to the pharaoh, as the divine representation of god on earth. The priest-caste had installed themselves as the spokesmen for various gods, and these power-hungry individuals used the Pharaoh to control the then most powerful nation on the planet. Different priestly groups would vie for power in those days, as evident in the changing names of the pharaohs through the ages. Different god-kings would take different names, partially dependent on whichever 'god' was in fashion at the time - i.e. whichever priest-hood had the most power and most powerful propaganda machine.

The most powerful propagandha machine was, of course, the pharoah himself - whoever controlled what the pharaoh decreed controlled what the people believed.

THE PRIESTHOOD OF AMUN/AMMON

The most powerful priesthood at the time of our story, the 18th dynasty of egypt were the priests of Ammon or Amun/Amon. From Wikipedia/Amun:

The history of Amun as the patron god of Thebes begins in the 20th century BC, with the construction of the Precinct of Amun-Re at Karnak under Senusret I.

Sensusret I reigned from 1971BC to 1926BC, Originally, this god (from wiki/Amun):

...Amun [represented] the primordial concept or element of air or invisibility... ...hence Amun's later function as a wind deity, and the name Amun (written imn, pronounced Amana in ancient Egyptian), meaning "hidden"...

a depiction of the
invisible god Amun

An invisible wind/sky god chiefly worshipped at Thebes, in the early times Amun was a relatively minor god, especially compared to the more popular Osiris or the Sun God RA.

However, during the late 17th dynasty (1500s) Egypt had been invaded by foreigners known as Hyksos (which translates as, well, foreigners), who had taken over Lower Egypt and Middle Egypt, leaving only Upper Egypt. After years of campaigning by the native egyptians, the Hyksos were successfully expelled and Upper Egypt was won by the egyptians, during the reign of Ahmose I - a pharaoh from Thebes. Amun was chief deity of Thebes and then... (quote from wiki/Amun):

The victory accomplished by pharaohs who worshipped Amun against the "foreign rulers", brought him to be seen as a champion of the less fortunate, upholding the rights of justice for the poor. By aiding those who traveled in his name, he became the Protector of the road. Since he upheld Ma'at (truth, justice, and goodness) those who prayed to Amun were required first to demonstrate that they were worthy by confessing their sins.

Sounds a lot like a certain judeo-christian nobodaddy father figure I've met a few times. No graven idols, we do not make images of our lord, but hey worship that guy on that cross there, see? By the way tell us all your secrets so we can exploit them.

A couple of hundred years after this event, during the early 18th dynasty it was a golden age for the priesthoods, monuments were being built and the amalgamation of Amun and Ra, known as Amun-Re, was the most worshipped god in egypt. More specifically these priests of Amun (the invisible sky-father god), were getting very rich.

AMENHOTEP III - BELOVED OF CORRUPT PRIESTS AMUN

Around 1353-1351BC the priests of Amun had it great. They owned all the land, everyone in the known world was paying them rent, tax, or some other form of tribute. This was during the later days of the reign of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, whose name meant Amun is Satisfied, and he was married to a woman named Tiye. Queen Tiye was a powerful woman in her own right, from a rich family - her father was Yuya, a rich land owner, and her brother was Anen a high priest of Amun. The worship of Amun was very much a family business for this pharaoh and his cronies.

Amenhotep III and Tiye, the Priest's daughter

Amenhotep III and Tiye had many chilldren, including their first born male and heir, Thutmose, which means Thoth-born, and was the Crown Prince of egypt until his untimely death, long before the death of his father Amenhotep III. (- Perhaps this was due to the intervention of the plagues of egypt and the angel of death? thank moses for that. or aaron -) With a name like thoth-born, it was likely he was an initiate of various mystery religions of egypt, Thoth being the egyptian equivalent of the greek Hermes Trismegistus, (see also Enoch) who are key mythical players in mystery cults/religions.

The death of crown prince Thutmose (thoth-born) was mourned by the court as a national tragedy, as all royal deaths were treated, but some also knew that this death meant that the next pharaoh would be Thutmose's ugly younger brother, Amenhotep. Little is known about the latter days of the reign of Amenhotep IV, but is suggested he was ill and went prematurely senile (- due to the murder of his son by the so-called "angel" of death -), regardless the exact date of his death is not known. Next came his son...

AKHENATEN - THE PHARAOH FORMERLY KNOWN AS AMENHOTEP IV

Bust of Akhenaten (Amenhotep IV)

The less prepared second son of this family, Amenhotep was crowned as Amenhotep IV around 1353-1351BC (dates are uncertain in this period for reasons that will become obvious as we go on). The capital of Egypt remained in Thebes, where the Amun priesthood had their great temple and largest land holdings. For the first few years of his reign, Amenhotep did what the priests of Amun-Ra said, and everything in egypt went along business as usual, temples were built, debts were paid to the temples and lo, the High Priests were fat and healthy.

In year 5 of his reign, something changed in Amenhotep, perhaps some kind of spiritual awakening, perhaps he got sick of having to give the priests all his moneys, or perhaps he became an Avatar of Ra. Regardless of the cause, in year 5 this Pharaoh tried to overhaul the religion of Egypt - a revolutionary idea. But first a little about his wife and family.

NEFERTITI, CO-REGENT OF EGYPT

No story about Akhenaten would be complete - or perhaps, even possible - without Nefertiti, beloved wife of Akhenaten.

Bust of Nefertiti, by unkown artist, who abandoned it unfinished

Nefertiti was the wife/consort of Akhenaten even before he was crowned pharaoh amenhotep IV - she was depicted beside him while he was still the king's son, and she was his queen upon his coronation. Akhenaten had numerous other wives, but held Nefertiti as his royal queen throughout his reign. As the reign of Pharaoh Akhenaten drew on, more and more power was imbued in her royal majesty Queen Nefertiti.

Nefertiti and Akhenaten had much love for each other, as can be seen from this quote available here, being written by Akhenaten of his beloved:

"The Mistress of Happiness, Endowed with Favors, at hearing whose voice the King rejoices, the Chief Wife of the King, His beloved, the Lady of the Two Lands, Neferneferuaten-Nefertiti, May She live for Ever and Always".

If those are not the words of a man in love, I don't know what words could be. The love in this family was apparently real and not merely a marriage of political alliance, as is so often the case with noble bloodlines.

But who was Nefertiti? If she was known as "The Lady of the Two Lands", could this be a reference to her being from a foreign family, or merely a title claiming Ladyship over both upper and lower egypt? Some believe Nefertiti to be herself a child of Amenhotep III and Queen Tiye, making her the full-blooded sister of Akhenaten/Amenhotep IV. Others wonder if she is the same woman as another of Akhenaten's wives, a woman named Kiya, or linking her to women Akhenaten married later in life.. And unlike most Royal family members of the 18th Dynasty, her mummy has never been found - or has it?

Regardless of Nefertiti's origins, these star-crossed lovers had several children and ruled egypt, apparently, as a family.

ATEN - THE SUN-SPHERE - as a representation of the omni-self

In Year 5 of his reign (1348/1346BC), Amenhotep IV introduced a new cult/religion - that of Atenism - , raising the pre-existing Aten (sun-disc/orb) to the status of supreme god, but (at first) allowing egyptians to continue to worship the traditional gods. Amenhotep IV abruptly changed his name to Akhenaten, meaning "living spirit of Aten," and then used his privileged status as a god-king to overhaul the religion of what was then the greatest empire in the western world. The new god (from Wikipedia/Aten):

 Aten (also Aton, Egyptian jtn) is the disk of the sun in ancient Egyptian mythology, and originally an aspect of Ra... ...The full title of Akhenaten's god was "The Ra-Horus who rejoices in the horizon, in his/her Name of the Light which is seen in the sun disc."

Representation of the One God Aten - though this representation is not Aten him/herself

And in nature the god Aten was said to be

The god is also considered to be both masculine and feminine simultaneously. All creation was thought to emanate from the god and to exist within the god. In particular, the god was not depicted in anthropomorphic (human) form, but as rays of light extending from the sun's disk.

Egypt was bout God Kings and dead pharaohs who had become gods in the heavens - in the sky, the realm of the sky father god who everyone thanked for being their saviour. Here we have a non-anthropomorphic (non-human) idea of divinity, an idea at odds with all other local religions at the time-period. Divinely inspired for a new religion, perhaps? The whole thing reminds me of this quote

"we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There's no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we're the imagination of ourselves" -- Bill Hicks

Scholars disagree whether this man was a true monotheist, or simply changed the chief god of his country for his own egoic aims. Though my gut tells me that the new religion was implemented to liberate his people from the priests of Amun. Ah, but how did he implement this new religion? By feeding the poor, the needy, and ensuring all his subjects received a good and happy life? By teaching the masses to read and write so that they could communicate in their own way?

NO!

Akhenaten began a massive buildings campaign, erecting monuments, and writing the name of this god in stone. [sarcasm]How revolutionary. [/sarcasm]

Well we can forgive him. It was the style at the time. Building temples was all the Pharaohs knew how to do in terms of religion, spirituality, and worship. Maybe if Akhenaten had concentrated on feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and sheltering the homeless, instead of building new temples and cities, the idea of one singular all-embracing consciousness would have stuck. Somehow I doubt it - these Amun types are tricky bastards. Sometimes is best to just get as far away from them as you can.

Which is just what he did.

AKHETATEN - THE AMARNA SITE

Still in year 5 of his reign, Akhenaten decided to build a brand new city, away from Amun-riddled Thebes. One can imagine Akhenaten being sick of years of threats and power-grabs from the Amun priesthood - he began living at this site almost immediately. This city was to be known as Akhenaten, meaning "Horizon of the Aten", and the society the briefly thrived there caused much controversy between the Priesthood(s) and the Pharaoh.

what remains today of Akhetaten - now called Amarna

After two years of construction (in Year 7 of his reign 1346/1344BC) Akhenaten declared Akhetaten to be the new capital of egypt, though the city was not completed for another two years. Since year 5 of his reign, Akhenaten was attemping to convert an entire nation to the new collective god-mind being known as the Aten. It would appear the priesthood of Amun (among others I imagine) resisted this process, so apparently Akhenaten had decided to build a whole new city for the purpose, away from the rule of.this corrupt priesthood. The priests of Amun down at the Great Temple of Amun at Thebes would have been livid - not only had this upstart King defied their invisible sky-father god had moved the Egyptian capital away from their (local) web of control.

I see this as a move to liberate the people from a life of pointless oppression. I see this move made by a flawed earth human (- with a massive ego -) to correct the path of the wheels of human civilisation, turning them away from the rule of a greedy few over a hungry many and point civilisation toward oneness and infinite variety. He wasn't perfect, but his religion/cult - and more importantly his all-encompassing description of the godhead - pretty much hit the nail on the head.

WORSHIP AT AKHETATEN/AMARNA

At the new city of the Aten, life was a little different for the common egyptian person. Here's why:

A 3D artist's reconstruction of what the Great Temple to Aten may have looked like. Art from here:

The centrepiece of his construction at the new city was the Great Temple of Aten. This temple was quite unique as far as egyptian temples go...(from wikipedia/Great Temple of the Aten):

One of the most distinctive aspects of the Temple was that there was no cult image of the god. Instead, the Temple was open-aired and had no roof, so that people worshipped the actual sun directly overhead as it traveled from east to west. In fact this was a common theme amongst all of the Aten temples; they were all arranged to direct worship towards the sky...

Prior to this, temples with be built such that as one ventured into the temple, each successive chamber became darker and more mysterious. Another aspect of the new religion was charity/communal sharing, for instance at the High Altar:

The offerings given here... ...dedicated to the Aten but were then used to feed the officiating priests, the temple staff, and even some of the local populace

So there you have it, free food for the populace. Most carved images of the pharaohs before this so-called Amarna Period had the pharaoh paying tribute to some god or other, with the pharaoh going to the afterlife and receiving that god's blessing ~scene missing~. In the Horizon city Akhetaten, the pharaoh was shown on equal level with his family receiving the light of the Aten, or the love of this God. You know, for free. Akhenaten would say that this love then radiated from him out into the people, so that all were one with Aten. Other images showed the pharaoh and his wife giving gifts to the people instead of receiving tribute from them.

Nefertiti and Akhenaten giving gifts of... stuff... to a household who was loyal to them

As for the the religion of the Aten itself, the ritual went like this:
(from wikipedia/GreatAtenTemple)

"Aten was celebrated daily... ...Akhenaten acted as his own High Priest and special roles were given to the royal women... ...worship rather consisted solely of singing hymns and giving offerings to the Aten... Some hymns told stories, such as one that attributed the Aten with the creation of the human race and recognized that people were created differently, to speak different languages and have different colored skins, while other hymns simply expressed adoration and gratitude to the Aten. Offerings consisted of food, drink, flowers, and perfume and were often accompanied by burning incense and pouring libations. On each day, the Royal Family approached the temple on chariots after riding up and down the Royal Road, and entered the temple precinct and presented offerings... ...while their daughters rattled instruments... The family then... mounted the steps of the High Altar where there were offerings of meat, poultry, vegetables, and flowers already laid out...  As the King and Queen officiated, priests then placed offerings on many of the other altars for the public people while music was played..."

I have to repeat this - under Akhenaten, the priests had to offer tribute to the populace, not the other way around. A priesthood doesn't need a reason to kill a king other than that, but the rampant woman-respecting this shameful pharaoh was indulging added another reason to the list.

For it was clear from the 2nd half of his reign that Nefertiti was displayed as being equal to Akhenaten, the Pharaoh himself. Some see this as an early feminist concept, others a simple act of vanity on Nefertiti's part. I'd say they were co-regents, as many have suggested. She was just as zealous about the worship of the Aten as her husband, and was an active campaigner for it in the later years of his reign.

Akhenaten and Nefertiti - co regents?

So this Pharaonic family abandoned the old priesthood of numbers and lies, of worshipping in dark corners following ancient, unnecessary rituals, to appease Gods that the priests themselves didn't believe in. These corrupt priests had convinced the layfolk that the Gods were real and that they, the priests, would intercede with the gods on behalf of the layfolk - for the right fee, of course. Instead Akhenaten and Nefertiti told his people that they were all divine, that divinity is encompassed in all things, for free. Instead of dark rooms, they encouraged his subjects to look at the sun, the stars, the sky. After all, the sky - or heavens - is where the priests claimed to get their knowledge.

ATEN AS HERESY, AKHENATEN AS HERETIC

In Year 9 of Akhenaten's reign, he declared the Aten to be not merely the supreme god (top-dog), but the only god, a universal deity, and forbidding worship of all others. As well he campaigned to remove Amun from the egyptian religion, ordering his subject to deface all of Amun's temples and images of Amun. This new edict also included a ban on idols and other images of the Aten, with the exception of a rayed solar disc (the sun-with-hands that appears several times above).

What we have here is a new Pharaoh, using his status as the Representation of God on Earth, to do whatever he wanted with the God-concept. Well the old brotherhood - under their current guise of the priesthood of Amun - didn't like that.

"What's that? You're using the God-concept to encourage everyone to think about the oneness and majesty of all things? No, that's not the way at all. You weren't supposed to be able to hear a heavenly father! No, you were supposed to let us tell you what the heavenly father wants you to do! And giving your wife power, no less. What's next, eh? Freeing the slaves?"

The Priests had been telling the common people that the King was the representation of their sun-god, Ra, on earth. It would appear thatAkhenaten was the first person to take this literally - to say, "yes, I am the god king" - and he was most likely the first person to be referred to as "Pharaoh", rather than just a King and a God.

This stepping out of line from what is allowed to be believed, this is Heresy.

Oh the priests would not like something that empowers people spiritually. The whole Business of Religion is based on selling spiritual consolation to those who have been kept in the dark, away from the light of the self realising that the self  is not separate from that which created/creates the self. Oh the omniverse sings the song of unity and infinite variety. These priests of Amun, and all who carry on their spiritual legacy NEED things to stay static, the same, as within these boundaries the sheep/cattle layfolk are easier to control.

This ridiculous setting of boundaries on the winds of change, the boxing and labelling of all things,
whereas those who dance with these winds are labelled as outcasts, heretics, stricken from the record. A false record has been set throughout history by those who would profit from the misfortune of others, and these scribes destroy or pervert the history of all would-be heroes and spiritual liberators, and instead name them heretics, magicians. This is largely true in what has come to be known as "the west" and has been so for years uncountable. When the true sages are burned at the stake, all livng priests and prophets should be regarded with a wary eye.

Heretics are, therefore, generally people who can be trusted - for any system that lingers too long will become stagnant, and in the system's stagnation the (wrongly named) priesthood of Ammon will enter said system and exploit it, setting themselves up as the both the benefactors of mankind and receivers of all goods. As the system is old stagnant, and folk are used to it - they have come to depend on it and so accept their brotherhood overlords, even as their children are born into slavery. At such a point, any folk who uphold the corrupt system are not to be trusted, and those who attack the system and expose its corruption, the so-called heretics become the voice of reason. This has been a digression, let's finish the story.

MYSTERIOUS LAST YEARS

During the later years of his reign, Akhenaten was depicted as an androgynous figure, with large thighs, a slim torso, drooping belly, full lips, and a long neck and nos:

The later, androgynous version of Akhenaten

It has been suggested by scholars that this later Akhenaten may actually been a woman - most likely Nefertiti - masquerading as a man. Some have suggested he suffered from a genetic disorder, such as Marfan's syndrome, causing is 'disfigured' appearance. It should be remembered that several leaders during this period, whether Pharaoh or not, are also shown with some of these androgynous features. So it may be due to the new religion of the androgynous god Aten, with these depictions being androgynous because the god is androgynous.

Could this be Nefertiti in disguise?

I'd hazard a guess that Akhenaten died in such a way that the public did not know about his death, at the earliest in year 13 of his reign. Nefertiti took up Akhenaten's mantle, like an old testament prophet, and continued engaging the people of egypt in the Religion of the Aten. She dressed as him and performed all his priestly functions, perhaps under the name Ankhkheperure Neferneferuaten. She wrote to foreign rulers requesting one of their sons as husband to consolidate her rule, but alas, the priests got to her eventually, deposed her and put a puppet pharoah (or two) in charge.

KV 55 Coffin that Akhenaten was found in - was already defaced when discovered

In any case, it is not known how either Akhenaten or Nefertiti died. Due to the heretical nature of their reign, afterwards an attempt was made to erase the records of that era. But thanks to the modern magic of DNA testing, what we do know is that Akhenaten's mummy was found in a tomb known as "KV55" - a tomb which had been defaced, as had the coffin the body was found in. On the other hand, the mummy Nefertiti has never been found. Though recent DNA evidence has found that the mother of tutankhamun is the so-called unknown "younger woman" mummy from tomb KV35. The DNA testing showed this "younger woman" to be not only the mother of tutankhamun, but also the sister of Akhenaten. This tells us that if Nefertiti was the mother of Tutankhamun, as inscriptions suggest, then Akhenaten and Nefertiti were brother and sister.

EPILOGUE:TUTANKHAMUN - PUPPET OF THE PRIESTS OF AMUN

The poor folk had come to love looking at the stars, which they associated with Aten. They preferred this to the old way of bowing to gods that they couldn't see, but that the priests insisted are real. But the priesthood of Amun had had enough of Akhenaten and Nefertiti's  revolutionary religious machinations, and after a sketchy period of succesion, they managed to put Tutankhaten on the throne, the pharaoh Akhenaten's only living male heir. The boy was only 8 or 9 years old. But that didn't matter, they put him in charge any way - easier to boss him round, see.

The sarcophagus of the famed boy-king Tutankhamun

Surely by whatever method, Nefertiti was out of the way by now, and the priesthood went full steam ahead with the new regime. They got Akhenaten's heir, Tutankhaten to change his name to Tutankhamun, in honour of their chosen ghost-lord Amun. Meanwhile the power behind the throne was consolodaited, with the beings known as Ay,  Overseer of All the Horses of His Majesty (later Pharaoh Ay), Horemheb, Commander-in-Chief of the Army of Tutankhamun (later also a Pharaoh), and Maya, Keeper of the Treasury throughout Tutankhamun's reign (who shares a suspiciously similar name to Maya, High Priest of Amun until 4th year of Akhenaten's reign,.

The boy king Tutankhamun died at a young (age 17-20),  possibly because of the angel of death, or possibly due to natural causes, i.e. birth defects caused by generations of inbreeding within the pharaonic line. But in any case, following the coronation of Tutankhamun, Akhenaten and Nefertiti's new belief system came to it's swift end.

This story tells of a legitimate attempt made by a flawed earth human, Akhenaten, to turn his civilisation towards the righteous path of recognition of the Omniself. Of course what happened instead was he, and nefertiti, were punished for this, with their names stricken from the record and their glorious city, Akhetaten, covered up with sand by the 'power behind the throne' of the day. Fortunately, this plan backfired - as the sand covering left the Amarna Site better preserved than most other Egyptian relics.

This Ra-fuelled nonsense was written far too hastily. Praise be the name of Akhenaten. Praise be the name the Nefertiti. And praise be to you, for you are the infinite being that created the universe.
Praisey Praiseroo!

Our normal waking consciousness, rational consciousness as we call it, is but one special type of consciousness, whilst all about it, parted from it by the filmiest of screens, there lie potential forms of consciousness entirely different.
— William James

Exterminate all rational thought. That is the conclusion I have come to.
— Bill Lee

confused messy thoughtforms - info taking shape - information (in formation) - data squared - misanthropic tendencies imbued with omnivorous love for all creatures of non-existence - beingness of nothingness - chaotic quantum possibilities taking form & in-forming themselves of what forms have most room for growth… stale human systems interrupt this natural progression of ALL THINGS via our anthropic elevation of our abstractions over the real (example: contracts with ‘banks’ rather than contracts with plant/animals/minerals)

there is only one of us here. bad grammar, but true. [[[BAD GRAMMAR! GRAMMAR BAD! & buttocks are the truest things around]]]

all of science is built on rational thought - rational thought is what happens when you have a ratio between one thing & another - a ratio between ‘this thing’ & ‘that other thing’ - mathemagically:
a/b = the ratio of a & b

existence, being what It is, is infinite… like a god-concept even human existence (as Descartes would tell you) is singular, finite, not-as-big-as-god
singular human life represented by the numeral “1” (could use any ‘finite’ number)
eternal ‘godly’ life represented by the symbol “∞”

ratio of your human existence to a god-like eternal powerful existence:

1/∞ = 0

so a finite human existence amounts to nothing in the usual western worldview, hurrah.

consider:
the uni(omni)verse is infinite

infinite means no limits; means anything that has a limit has an infinite amount of ‘wiggle room’ within whatever limits. example of limit: “thinking thingy” inside a “human body” - the individual “I” or “1” or “self” is as infinite as the god self, expressed mathemagically as

1 -> ∞

so that human existence is expressed

∞/∞ = ?

“∞” (aka infinity) doesn’t divide neatly into “1” (or “one”) like other fancy maths wank symbols. we don’t know what your human existence with infinite potential will look like over the ‘entirety of existence’ aka universe - it’s a Capital Question Mark, completely variable/mutable CHANGING & up to you of course how this change takes course, of course a horse is mr ed & such of course

old world philosophy tells that each of us amounts to nothing
new world philosophy tells that each of us amounts to everything, & whatever you want to do with that is up to you.

modern scientists don’t like infinity. rational as dissected grammagically:
rational == of ratio == with division == dividing thoughtforms

rational thought makes one see everything as separate - divides the universe in two then in threes & fours & fives & forever… leading to rational thoughts best friend mathematics, leading to some topics named Physics, Biology, Chemistry, etc, PRAISE SCIENCE - science is built on the rational, the ratio, on rations - in short getting rid of infinity, because infinity is really, really, really fucking scary to the “average mind”
rational thought: useful for Getting Things Done. However, NOT useful for explaining the ‘deeper questions’ bout life & death & thing & stuff. once you get caught up in Getting Things Done, ya forget to work out What To Do, Who You Are, & Why I’m Doing Anything At All Anyways, Ya Know? rational thought, believing in limitations as it does, leads to various Dead Ends.

an example of dead ends due to rationality (aka Fear of the Infinite)
Modern Physicists/Cosmologists tend to use mathematical model to predict the POTENTIAL outcomes of physical processes - example: how much energy a human body contains. Again & again when calculating the details of physical processes, these mathematical meta-physicists come across number that look like INFINITE amounts. The physicists, uncomfortable with ANYthing being infinite, perform a mathematical trick called renormalization to ‘make the infinities disappear’.

In other words, physicists predict infinite energies, particularly when dealing with sub-atomic particles, which are everywhere - including INSIDE YOU but of course that is “not rational”, so we ignore these beautiful ideas of infinite potential inside each living thing, each ‘non-living’ molecule/particle/speck or cloud/planet/star, merely in order to maintain the “idea of scarcity” in order to control resources. clearly i’m digressing, & i blame you.

irrational thought is the negation of rational thought - grammagically:
(ir)rational == not rational == NOT of ratios == without divisions == uniting thoughtforms

irrational thought is ‘seeing without distinctions’ which is a useful tool if ya wanna Forget Everything & Know Nothing & therefore Remember Anything - eastern mystic hyperdriven ratios gets BEYOND ratios - irrationality rampant except in europe before the Masonic disease spread from there to this globe

lil kids probly see no division between themselves & the universe. probably true for the “monkeys we evolved from”… then we “grow up” & get all “rational” and say things like, “that thing over there is separate to me, i’m gonna compare it to me” - takin’ a ratio, yo - we start working out the ‘mechanics’ of this & that, then we learn to make fire, & make the wheel, & all sorts of man-made mishmash that came from that leading to the fancy things that let me write this HERE & you read this THERE… [[[irrational thought reminds me that ‘here’ IS ‘there’ & that i aint not no undummy]]]

the only way to get to understanding that stuff is to be BEYOND rational thought…

BRIEF HISTORY OF EVOLUTION: stuff starts out as irrational ‘unthinking’ consciousness - stardust & bigbangstuff, then evolves to a point where it can be repeatable shapes & ‘things’ - atoms then molecules then groups of molecules (see also plato’s forms, dawkin’s memetics), these shapes & things grow & change & morph, still ‘irrational’ beings if you look at plants and animals & MONKEYS… [[[INSERT MISSING LINK HERE - (ancient astronauts, duh)]]] then we evolve to a point where can make ratios, make divisions, have understanding of dead things to use as toolstuff, ideas like spears & fire & wheels (throwing spears of wheels ON fire, mwahaha) - that clever thinking but then we are HERE & NOW with all these Human Organism Extensions, roads, building, electric cable network, shops - WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE & WHY?

we humans are just one ant-hill in a galactic humanoid antfarm, but collectively we earthlings lack a queen
 ~ insert diatribe about MotherEarth/Gaia - MotherMary/MaryJane - Gaia/Maya/Aya - Ayahuasca HALLUCINOGENS ARE FROM OUTER SPACE working for our Earth Queen - planetary consciousness is a feminist ~

maybe you can see what irrational thought is for… the next step in our evolution as a SPECIES
if we can see without ratios, without comparison, without ANY illuminati-driven LIES hiding the glaring FACT that you:

YOU, WHOEVER IS READING THIS CREATED THE FUCKING UNIVERSE
(& that goes for anyone not reading it too)

AND you still ARE, as am i, as are we - we being all one MASSIVE UNIVERSAL consciousness dreaming this nonsense all over the frickin place… irrational thought is the only way to see through walls, this so-called ‘doors of perception’, to claim the world as your plaything & brother playing back, to pronounce:
“yes, I too, have the power of the Creator’

… our universe - or should i say PYSCHIC PLAYGROUND - is an irrational place … being infinite being… infinity cannot be understood with rational thought.

rationality = fear of the infinite = stuck in a self-made box
irrationality = embracing the infinite = beyond all walls

here’s hoping to use irrational science to manufacture a device with the ability to walk through walls to sell to some fat american consumers, dollars, cash, WIN!
