Manly P. Hall was a well celebrated critical thinker, social analyst and O.G. conspiracy theorist. In this lecture, he discusses how our obsession with the past can create a destructive pattern when we live exclusively within it. I’ve struggled with this sort of self sabotage my whole life and it’s something I have to constantly pull the reins in on.
I’ve seen it ruin friends and family members to the point where the past is the only identity they have. It’s one of the saddest things to see someone who you love disappear into that abyss. If you find yourself dwelling on issues from your past to the point that it affects your present day, then break the cycle now before it dictates your future. Live NOW. There is no tomorrow.
Daniel Pinchbeck – a 2012′er I can actually get behind
I’ve always avoided the 2012 Doom Merchants and their far fetched forecasts of apocalyptic disaster. For decades they’ve been selling the paranoid paranoia and hocking self-published books typed in a priori fonts of unaccountability. The sky will boil. Water to blood. Ohh oh your city lies in dust, my friend. Brochures of a wasteland vacation for the cataclysmic tourist. And now that will call for the holocaust opens in less than 2 years, all the sopranos are changing the lyrics to our favorite song.
Well, we never really meant that the world will explode into shards, little boys and girls, it was just metaphor. An allegory for the awakening that is truly at hand! What I really meant is… well it’s all explained in my new revolutionary book that will change the way you see the world! Step right up!
Daniel Pinchbeck and Graham Hancock discuss the real 2012… great stuff in here
How much money has been made off some ancient calendar whose scribes figured they’ve done enough heavy lifting for the time being? Map out 2013 later, we’re late to the Shaman’s Ayahuasca vision quest ceremony! How’s this theory: It’s the end of an epoch where one astrological cycle ends and a new one begins.
In fact, things have never been better! We’re in great shape. Look at how much money we all have! Look at all the businesses that are booming and we all just got a raise! Oh wait, scratch that. Well, at least our water is clean, right? Oh yeah. Well at least we aren’t in the throes of everlasting holy war. What’s that you say? (more…)
Ok, so up until this point I’ve been sticking to the topics and minds who I find to have a certain degree of credibility. Sure, all matters discussed in this column are hard to swallow and may seem like the prolix delusions of megalomaniacal pseudo intellects hoping to convert plebs to cash paying disciples. That’s fine. I get it. BUT, I’ll have you know this: I’ve kept the standards reeeeallly high in selecting only the most competent of this squad to fascinate over. There’s gigabytes upon gigabytes of BULLSHIT I’ve gotta sift through to find the goods. A LOT. Like tons…
Introducing The Montauk Project:
Preston Nichols breaks it all down against a backdrop of ambiguous modular components reminiscent of Darth Vader’s chestpiece. Note the patience of the interviewer.
This alleged extension of The Philadelphia Experiment is the Deion Sanders of conspiracy theories — the all in one dynamo. Under a hush-hush secret cabal of government (naturally) scientists and researchers opened up wormholes in the space-time continuum, jettisoned to hyperspace, mastered mind control, contacted extra-terrestrials, and teleported across dimensions. Actually, this sounds more like the limitless cacamamie of The Beyonder than the amplitude of Neon…
Apparently it all started with the development of a technology that made a battleship invisible to radar. Subsequently, this top secret invisibility ray opened up a portal across time and voilà!!! A research facility was established in Montauk Air Force Base and the rest is either the greatest or worst sci-fi novel ever written…depends on who’s writing it! Unfortunately, the “story by” credit on the dust jacket of this shitsterpiece goes to a duo of absolute schmoes: Preston Nichols and Stewart Swerdlow.
From the wiki
On or about on August 12, 1983 the time travel project at Camp Hero interlocked in hyperspace with the original Project Rainbow back in 1943. The USS Eldridge was drawn into hyperspace and trapped there. Two men, Al Bielek and Duncan Cameron both claim to have leaped from the deck of the USS Eldridge while it was in hyperspace and ended up after a period of severe disorientation at Camp Hero in the year 1983 at Montauk Point. Here they claim to have met John von Neumann, a famous physicist and mathematician, even though he died in 1957. John Von Neumann had supposedly worked on the original Philadelphia Experiment, but the United States Navy denies this.
Preston Nichols has that quasi-psychotic despondency and disheveled appearance of those born and raised New Yorkers. You know, that look of a slow simmering dementia you can only get from a lifetime without any luck. His convoluted theories back up all previous assessments too. Nichols reminds me of the guys who get into an inescapable conversation with you on the subway about mind control after they see the alien on your t-shirt…pretty much, right? Here’s a word to the wise: If you have a heavy Long Island accent, you have no business in the conspiracy theory business. ZERO. NONE. I love Robert Anton Wilson, but even he was pushing it!
Steven Swerdlow is an alleged felon, mountebank and all around shyster that cashes in books, workshops and DVD’s of his bologna. Another participant during the Montauk Project, Swerdlow spits the typical unsupported, unsustantiated jive which repels most people from the alternative media field. His stuff just sounds like regurgitated Sitchen, Icke, and Maxwell. How can you take seriously a man who unequivocally claims to have developed the language of hyperspace?
Preston Nichols breaks us off on the technology and equipment of hyperspace teleportation.
I want to believe. I really do, but are these guys the best they could get? Maybe this exactly what the shadow government and Reptilians want me to believe and fellas like Swerdlow and Nichols are trapped in the disinfo void. Either way, I gotta give the Montauk Project and all its constituents the FINGER!
Imagine The Universe for a minute. Let your mind stretch beyond Earth. Beyond The Sun. Beyond the Milky Way. BEYOND. Keep going. Further, and Further. Millions of light years way. Keep going. Billions of light years. Keep going. Past newly born Nebulas. Keep going. Past all the distant galaxies scattered in every which way. There’s no up or down. Keep going. Into Deep DARK Space. Keep going. Imagine the incomprehensible oblivion of Infinity. Now realize that it keeps going beyond the limits of whatever we could ever dream of understanding. Forever and ever and ever.
Is there an end? How can something exist without an end? What is infinity? Is it all the billions upon trillions of Light Years of multi directional Space and Time? The concept can unravel the mind into chaotic dementia. It’s unreachable. But weren’t we all just there? Stretching into the vastness of forever in the time it took to read this? But hold on, that’s a mind game! An illusion we all imagined subjectively in our brain!! EXACTLY. Welcome to the Holographic Universe.
Michael Talbot explaining The Holographic Universe
This concept, introduced by Michael Talbot, is the amalgamation of the theories developed by physicist David Bohm, a protegé of Einstein, and Karl Pribram, a Stanford University neurophysiologist. The general idea began with Pribram’s studies of the brain, in that, every part of the mind is cross-correlated with the entirety of the mind. There aren’t independent components that, if lacking, will remove sections of our memory. Building from this, Bohm suggests that on a sub atomic level, the fabric of reality seems to act in accordance with this same exact theory.
Electrons, no matter how far apart, are able to remain in contact with one another regardless of the distance separating them. This is not because of some unknown signal they bounce back and forth between each other, but because their separateness is an illusion. Every part is reminiscent of the whole. In our mind breathes the ENTIRE UNIVERSE. In every leaf, every rock, every drop of water. We are all one. There is no independence…much like a HOLOGRAM, though not like the sticker on your New Era…
Michael Talbot
A hologram is a three- dimensional photograph made with the aid of a laser. To make a hologram, the object to be photographed is first bathed in the light of a laser beam. Then a second laser beam is bounced off the reflected light of the first and the resulting interference pattern (the area where the two laser beams commingle) is captured on film. When the film is developed, it looks like a meaningless swirl of light and dark lines. But as soon as the developed film is illuminated by another laser beam, a three-dimensional image of the original object appears.
The three-dimensionality of such images is not the only remarkable characteristic of holograms. If a hologram of a rose is cut in half and then illuminated by a laser, each half will still be found to contain the entire image of the rose. Indeed, even if the halves are divided again, each snippet of film will always be found to contain a smaller but intact version of the original image. Unlike normal photographs, every part of a hologram contains all the information possessed by the whole.
The “whole in every part” nature of a hologram provides us with an entirely new way of understanding organization and order. For most of its history, Western science has labored under the bias that the best way to understand a physical phenomenon, whether a frog or an atom, is to dissect it and study its respective parts. A hologram teaches us that some things in the universe may not lend themselves to this approach. If we try to take apart something constructed holographically, we will not get the pieces of which it is made, we will only get smaller wholes.
Dr. Steven Greer presents “Contact & Disclosure: The Final Sequence” at the European Exopolitics Summit 2009.
We are at the time in history where one big cycle is closing & and another cycle is opening, the duration of, which will be 5000 centuries on Earth. This new aeon will be defined by unbroken peace. By UNIVERSAL peace. At the end of this future cycle, our descendants will be extra-terrestrial visitors to other worlds across the cosmos, helping other exoplanets achieve universal peace. That’s our future, and this has already happened, because time doesn’t exist.
This is the screed of The Disclosure Project. Their mission is to acknowledge and disseminate the truth about UFOs, extraterrestrial intelligence and alien technology to the public so that we may advance as a civilization and rightfully take our place amongst the Universal order. Founded by Dr. Steven Greer in the early nineties as a call to arms against the factions of shadow government who are suppressing the greatest knowledge known to mankind. We have made contact. There IS an extraterrestrial presence on Earth and their technology can save this planet from our impending doom. We can finally rid ourselves from the dependence on oil, the dollar,environmental breakdown, and achieve the levels of consciousness beyond what Roddenberry or Heinlein could have ever dreamed of. This is real. Yet, the Industrial Military Complex alongside the Global Elite don’t ever want us to be liberated from their planetary stranglehold.
The fallacy of these Secret Cabals and their Black Ops is this: There is no force on earth, military, or financial interest to deter the coming of this new epoch. Nothing can stop it.
A letter from Project Starlight (an early incantation of The Disclosure Project) to President Clinton (Click to enlarge).
Backed by throngs of testimonials from NASA scientists, military personnel, government officials and a bevy of other credible individuals, The Disclosure Project goes beyond intellectual hearsay and has taken position as the most competent brain trusts of the alien agenda. In fact, Greer alleges to have formed allegiances with a CIA director under the Clinton administration, only to be disavowed due to the fear of Clinton facing the same fate of JFK. (more…)
I don’t deal in conspiracy theory. I deal in conspiracy FACT!
- Michael Ruppert
He’s blown the whistle on CIA drug trafficking, exposed mainstream media cover-ups, and predicted the economic meltdown way before we knew the terms,”mortgage backed security” or “credit default swap.” Now, subject of the documentary Collapse, Michael Ruppert warns us of the complete social and economic breakdown of civilization as a whole…PAY ATTENTION.
Peak oil curve suggested by M. King Hubbert in 1956. Click to enlarge.
Remember this term: PEAK OIL. It’s the point of oil production where you’re on top of the bell curve, reaching half of the available resources; never able to increase production ever again. It’s all downhill from the peak, and civilization consumes more and more oil as our standards of living increase. Since the 70′s, scientists and speculators alike have been concerned about the possibilities of the day humanity finally sucks the last drop of oil out of the planet.
Ruppert suggests that day is coming sooner than we know. There are no more major oil finds left and it has those in power scrambling. Why is the US so concerned with IRAQ? Why would Saudi Arabia, who owns 25% of the known oil reserves on the planet, move to the vastly more expensive offshore drilling if their supply was dwindling? PEAK OIL. If Saudi Arabia has reached their peak, the WHOLE PLANET has!
Let’s divert away from peak oil and focus on the current economic crisis the world is facing. Between toxic loans and fractional reserve banking, the dollar is crumbling. Banks will soon become insolvent and all of our savings accounts will be wiped away like numbers on a calculator. Forget cities, entire countries are going bankrupt. Yet, we as a civilization believe that our standards of living should be constantly growing. It is how society is modeled. If we can’t believe in the concept that things will be better for us in the future, there would be revolution. According to Ruppert, this is exactly the reason why global governments withhold the oil reserve estimates and continue to print more fiat money for bail outs. Our global economy simply can’t sustain itself anymore because we believe in infinite growth.
So…what happens when Infinite Growth collides with FINITE ENERGY? When you can’t just print up more money to generate more oil?
This is as good as conspiracy theory gets. Ruppert’s fact based vision of our future is paranoia inducing, isolating, subversive, while both terrifying and enlightening at the same time…right up my alley! But documentarian Chris Smith (American Movie) eschews the sensationalism and apocalyptic visual FX stylings of the Alex Jones variety, opting for a more direct approach. This is a little under two-hours of listening to a middle aged man while he sits in a dingy room speaking his mind…and it shook me to the point where I wanted to jump off a bridge after email blasting a manifesto to everyone I know. But don’t take the leap just yet, Ruppert has solutions to guide us into a new aeon free of oil dependency. See this movie. Visit his website. Buy his books.
Every aspect of human existence is on the table. Evolve or perish!
Sorcery is a deliberate act of causing metamorphoses by the employment of Elementals. It forges a link with the powers of middle nature, or the ether, the astrals of great trees and of animals of every kind. Will is our medium, Belief is the vehicle, and Desire is the force combining with the elemental. Cryptograms are our talismans and protectors. – Austin Osman Spare
Manifested from the frictions between the known and repressed desires of his subconscious, Austin Osman Spare’s sorcery annexed him to power over his SELF, while tuning him in with the realms of incomprehensible beyond. I’ve tried for days to figure out how to describe this man, but when reading over his life, the facts do nothing to ornament who exactly he was…but that’s the deal with A.O.S.
Dressing the Wounded During a Gas Attack by Austin Osman Spare
A.O.S.’s method
An essential part of Spare’s technique lay in deliberate forgetfulness, and this is the part which a novice finds extremely difficult. The reason he gives for forgetting the desire at the time of invoking it lies in the fact that for the operation to succeed the conscious mind must have no inkling of the transaction. Consciously formulated desires take time to materialize; subconscious desires can be made to materialize very swiftly. Consciousness of the desire vitiates the entire process, so a method had to be found of forgetting the desire during the period of magical evocation. Spare called the process “union through absent-mindedness” and advocated the yogic method of emptying the mind of all but the Sigil. This is not always successful so as an alternative he suggests the sigillization of perennial desires, desires that are sure to arise periodically, as for instance the desire for beautiful women. Several such desires are then sigillized, scrambled together, and laid aside for several days. On reassembling the cards upon which they have been drawn, the operator is unable to remember precisely what sigillizes what! The rite is then comparatively easy to accomplish for it requires only concentrated thought.
Yes, he was had a sacred bond with a Salem Witch who initiated him into the Occult. Yes, he is accredited as the originator of Chaos Magic. His life reads both luminous and diabolic. But, there’s an overwhelming tide that washes over his chronicle and drowns it into the depths of didactic irrelevancy. There’s something greater at work. I know it. But I’m struggling to find the right words, because biography just isn’t descriptive enough to define his shape. It’s on the tip of my tongue…
Though their true origin is mired in beguiling mystery, many have dated the inception of The Rosicrucians (order of the Rosy Cross) in Medieval Germany during the 1400′s. This occult fraternity of alchemists, philosophers, scientists, astrologers, and doctors were said to have possessed the ancient wisdoms of the Universe passed down from the great Sages of time…the esoteric truths of ancient past. Sworn by oath to keep their knowledge from the masses, including the mastery over the alchemical wonder, The Philosopher’s Stone, The Rosicrucians held the key to understanding the framework of the Universe and the Metaphysical Realm. Their goal? Enlightenment. The shaping of civilization to their will. The “Universal Reformation of Mankind.” This was a cabal of highly intelligent mystics studying under the most esoteric tenets of Hermeticism, Physics, Mathematics, Magic, and Kabbalah. They were out to change the world.

The order of the Rose Croix was first introduced to the world in, The Fama Fraternitatis Rosae Crucis. This 1614 manifesto illustrates the legend of Rosicrucian founder, Christian Rosenkreuz…
This is somewhat of an aberration from the typical subject matter on Foa12P, but I think it applies and definitely worth mentioning!
Linda Stone:
Continuous partial attention describes how many of us use our attention today. It is different from multi-tasking. The two are differentiated by the impulse that motivates them. When we multi-task, we are motivated by a desire to be more productive and more efficient. We’re often doing things that are automatic, that require very little cognitive processing. We give the same priority to much of what we do when we multi-task — we file and copy papers, talk on the phone, eat lunch — we get as many things done at one time as we possibly can in order to make more time for ourselves and in order to be more efficient and more productive. To pay continuous partial attention is to pay partial attention — CONTINUOUSLY. It is motivated by a desire to be a LIVE node on the network. Another way of saying this is that we want to connect and be connected. We want to effectively scan for opportunity and optimize for the best opportunities, activities, and contacts, in any given moment. To be busy, to be connected, is to be alive, to be recognized, and to matter
Has anyone been paying attention to Stephen Hawking recently? His latest theories on the nature of Space and Time sound more akin to the subjects discussed here on Foa12P than in Popular Science. From the mind whose legend is amongst Einstein and Newton, who has shaped the way the rest of the world understands the framework of the Universe, these are some radical ideas.
A week or so ago, he affirmed without equivocation in the existence of extra-terrestrials. For as vast as outer space is and as many billion galaxies there are, the probability alone would favor his belief. He’s certain of it.
To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational…The real challenge is to work out what aliens might actually be like.”
Sure. Ok. Nothing that chimerical, you may think to yourself. But Hawking then went on to warn humanity against the potential threat he believes aliens may pose to Earth. He speculates that if they did make contact with us, there is a high chance that it would be in the interest of plundering our natural resources for their own depleted and starved planet.
“We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn’t want to meet. I imagine they might exist in massive ships, having used up all the resources from their home planet. Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonize whatever planets they can reach. If aliens ever visit us, I think the outcome would be much as when Christopher Columbus first landed in America, which didn’t turn out very well for the Native Americans.”
Sounds to me like something Zecharia Sitchin would suggest, but this is Stephen Hawking here…the ground breaker of theoretical cosmology and quantum gravity!
An illustration of how wormholes work
At the beginning of this week, Hawking followed up his Alien Pirate theory with another exotic concept…the possibility of time travel. Not only did he emphatically subscribe to the concept, he told us how to realistically build a time machine! But unfortunately this is a one way drive into hyperspace. Illustrating the impossibility of travel into the past, Hawking cites a paradoxical effect which would destroy the portal or wormhole which you would first need to enlarge from their sub microscopic sizes amidst the “quantum foam”.
