“Give me four years to teach the children
and
the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.”
Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov aka Lenin (1870 - 1924), First "Leader" of the Soviet Union
Murdered ~14 millions of the Russian peoples between 1917 and his death in 1924.
"President Vladimir Putin could never have imagined anyone so ignorant or so willing to destroy their people like Obama much less seeing millions vote for someone like Obama. They read history in America don't they? Alas, the schools in the U.S. were conquered by the Communists long ago and history was revised
thus paving the way for their Communist presidents."

"Denial is born of the inability to 'fight or flight',
the place where fear and love have no name worthy of consideration;
the realm of denial,
where people are cut off from their fear
and are in congregation, or urban environments."

Modelling Creation; Anthony Peratt - Los Alamos
What does this Mean?
This presentation means that "All that needs to be said, has been said." It means that all that you have been taught regarding Biblical knowledge and times is both wrong and falsified. As the Greek and the Roman plagiarized their wisdom, sciences and philosophies from the Ancient Egyptian seers, so did the ancient Hebrews, Christians, Assyrians and others. The ancient Hebraic idiom was derived from the Egyptian linear text but forgotten by the Rabbi. This allowed the then future, that is, today, to be founded in error and ignorance; add to this, the political agenda of Collective Control. Rome was known as the City of Forgeries as the Parables of Gnostic Wisdom were fraudulently and falsely converted to convenient historic and personalized accounts that manipulated science into emotionalized fantasy and empty promises.
The feudal system of power by armed theft, genocide and force; by sword, cannon and deception has evolved to the "protection rackets" of today. Initially renown as the "mafia", also as the Banker, we arrive amongst the company of Triads, gangs and rogue militia posing as a multiplicity of endemic, pervasive and ubiquitous "Collectives"; governments, bureaucracies, Councils, Clubs, political parties, military forces, etc., etc. All need to feed on man, and all need to grow exponentially in order to survive. A Ponzi schema for recursive scamming of the human harvest and the centralization of productivity collection by the Banking System.
The prey of the Collective is man. The enemy of man is the Collective. The global wars are all about the "collective vs. the individual man. Nothing has changed for over 3,000 years. The game is the same. Terrorism is a political tool. All terrorist acts are politically motivated by the Collective. The Human Harvest is manifest in the Collective mandate.
But it also means that the time has come for the individual to claim his destiny; it is that time of which Moses wrote. It is time of the Exodus and the freedom from slavery.
"The snake which cannot cast its skin has to die.
As well the minds which are prevented from changing their opinions;
they cease to be mind."
Friedrich Nietzsche
From whence we have be-come:
There are three most ancient idioms that essentially remain available to us from the oldest Epochs of civilization which are Chinese, Sanskrit and the ancient Hebraic. Western readers will be most familiar with the latter through Biblical exposures, however, the modern day language of the Hebrew has little resemblance to the tongue to which I refer here, that is, the original and ancient Hebraic language, a sub-language of the more ancient Egyptian linear texts; or, perfect idioms of the tongue. They being unlike any language today derived from the Greek, Latin, German and other such comparatively crude and vulgar vernacular.
"Every noun in the Hebrew language is derived from a verb, which is usually termed the radix or root, from which, not only the noun, but all the different flections of the verb, spring. This radix is the third person singular of the preterite or past tense. The ideal meaning of this root expresses some essential property of the thing which it designates, or of which it is an appellative. The root in Hebrew, and in its sister language, the Arabic, generally consists of three letters, and every word must be traced to its root in order to ascertain its genuine meaning, for there alone is this meaning to be found. In Hebrew and Arabic this is essentially necessary, and no man can safely criticize on any word in either of these languages who does not carefully attend to this point." Fabre d'Olivet -The Hebraic Tongue Restored (My emphasis)
"I agree completely - with the caveat that the 'three letter-root' is a derivative of 2 letter-roots, itself a derivative of a 1-letter-root - getting its roots in the symbols attached to the signs that represent such letters. in going from 2 to 4 letter-roots, there is a fusion with a drop of one of the letters to reach the 3-letter root. He is the main source I used in my analysis to get to the symbols attached to proper names of people / characters and locations - the thing being that a name of somebody is attached to his/her function in the story or the myth; and that name gets its fundamental meaning in the letters that are used to write it." P. Engel Ph.D - Adam and Eve: The Solar Temptation
Here, is the definitive proof, other than by the common sense of qualitative analysis, that most of the biblical texts are Parables. And, as well, allegories, analogies and metaphor.To the uninitiated, this categorically and explicitly means that every thing that the West has learned that has been derived from the modern Hebrew, Greek and Christian "religious" lore, since the first few Centuries AD, is false and wrong, and based on intentional manipulations to suit agenda of a few, essential ignorance due to the loss of language knowledge by the interpretative clerks and priests, and applied opportunistic political convenience to derive humanity of his productivity, assets and wealth. The Church of Rome usurped the role of 'father' and substituted itself and its priests in this role in order to control and deprive. In this way, the Adamic man accordingly, remains in the Garden and Plato's Cave, 'waiting to die' and does not reach out to grasp his destiny - having sacrificed himself to those of the cloth that manage the Collective. For they, there is only "denial".
parable (n.)
mid-13c., parabol, modern form from early 14c., "saying or story in which something is expressed in terms of something else," from O.Fr. parable "parable, parabolic style in writing" (13c.), from L. parabola "comparison," from Gk. parabole "a comparison, parable," lit. "a throwing beside," hence "a juxtaposition," from para- "alongside" (see para- (1)) + bole "a throwing, casting, beam, ray," related to ballein "to throw" (see ballistics). Replaced O.E. bispell. In Vulgar Latin, parabola took on the meaning "word," hence It. parlare, Fr. parler "to speak" (see parley (n.)).
The Parables, that is, those ancient manuscripts of Hebraic idiomatic origins, are Gnostic wisdom, not history, nor of persons named. And, they are of such great and powerful magnitude with scientific revelation of potential, and impending explosive impact onto Society, that is, when the critical mass of revelation reveals itself to the general public, then and indeed, the direction of civilization, that is to say, Global civilization, will undergo a wondrous high-energy thermodynamic transmutation, a shift, per se, that will make the political machinations of today appear as 2,000 years and more, of man grovelling in the mud of poverty, despair and self destructive desperation.
"Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth because they don't want their illusions destroyed." -
Friedrich Nietzsche
"There are two different types of people in the world,
those who want to know,
and
those who want to believe."
Friedrich Nietzsche
And, also from this ancient source, we have 'man the unaccomplished' to evolve to be-come 'man the accomplished":, or Man... as the natural measure of Cause to Effect - thus described in these ancient Parables... to: 'be-come', "Shalom", to Peace. The verbe creates it's noun possessively, lovingly as the seer forges the singing sword in his fires and forge; caring to bath the blade in the sweet cold waters of the mountain spring. . The son inherits the father's throne. Or, there is no peace, morality or ethics to be found by man in institutional religion and its derivatives; these achievements can only be found by 'man the accomplished' through knowledge and wisdom in 'self' alone. The Parables contain the wisdom necessary for this societal transformation and for the release of the innate natural functionalities of man to rise to the Cosmogony of the ancients.
That is to say, that the "promised land", that is, the inheritance given by the Father, is only for the son; "man the accomplished"; Man.

Inscription beneath the Statue of Phtahmer: High Priest of Memphis - The Louvre
One is left totally amazed at the genius of these ancient sages, whoever they were. There is nothing in the past ~3,000 years to rival this philosophical science or, as Aristotle's Biographer would have it, this 'meta-physics', so much so, that the past three millennium, and more, must be considered a philosophical and intellectual waste-land, yet, albeit, a technological oasis.
Wilhelm Reich, an Austrian psychoanalyst; a member of the second generation of psychoanalysts after Sigmund Freud, and one of the most radical figures in the history of psychiatry brought us the knowledge of the functions of the Autonomic Nervous System [or the Involuntary, Vegetal, or Visceral Nervous System] of the Central Nervous System and the two alternating modes of Sympathetic and para-Sympathetic being, innate to man.
The recent works of the Cellular Biologist Bruce Lipton, after 25 years of laboratory research, validates Reich in his publications: Biology of Belief and Spontaneous Evolution.
"Tragedy moves from pity - to terror - to cleansing catharsis."
Aristotle
It is then, here, that the human traits and accepted tendencies that repeatedly and cyclically destroy civilization are to be now found, analyzed, and brought into the living consciousness of human intellect. From our understandings, drawn from these considerations, we have the ability to move forward and beyond, on a more solid foundation; to a future built without the seeds of destruction, war and the need to find enemies among our fellow man.
Amongst the ordering of a Society, and more-so, a State, there are individuals, families and collectives. The conflicts amongst man is the battle between the individual and the collective.
The Collective feeds on man - The Man seeks.
"The state represents violence in a concentrated and organized form.
The individual has a soul, but as the state is a soulless machine,
it can never be weaned from violence to which it owes its very existence."
Mahatma Mohandas K. Gandhi
(1869-1948)
Collectivism is more than an idea. In itself, an idea is
nothing but a toy of speculation,
a mental idol.
Since, as the myth holds, the suprapersonal Society is replete with possibilities,
the profitable thing to do is to put the myth to work,
to energize its virtue.
The instrument at hand is the State,
throbbing with political energy and quite willing to expend it
on this glorious adventure.
Thus comes Statism, or the worship of political power.
The Rise and Fall of Society: Frank Chodorov
Man the individual is innately equipped to either take flight or make fight. Both these options belong to the Sympathetic modes of the ANS of the Central Nervous System, where the resources of the body are totally prioritized and made available to the tissues and cells of the arms and legs of the body leaving only a minimum of resources to remain available to the visceral organs and the operational consciousness. Thinking shuts down; fighting mechanisms (leg, arms, specialist organs) are fully engaged for deadly combat and engagement. This is the "protection" mode which if prolonged, inhibits growth, health and natural human development. This is a life threatening situation if maintained for long periods of time. Invalid beliefs and discordant persuasion breaks down physical and mental health as can be understood when viewing the demand on medical services World-wide. Here is the direct causality of human sickness.and disease.
The para-Sympathetic mode is where all the bodily resources are distributed for the visceral organs for their life-sustaining work of digestion, absorption, excretion, and other functions that provide for the growth of the cells and the production of the body's energy reserves. Hence, the stress response inhibits growth processes and further compromises the body's survival by interfering with the generation of vital energy reserves.
The human innately contains both modes. And, as well as, the Immune System also plays a vital role between these two modes and can trigger the Sympathetic mode in a numerous set of circumstances, with similar effects to "fight or flight".Bruce H. Lipton Ph.D. The Biology of Belief: Unleashing the Power of Consciousness, Matter, & Miracles
Sympathetic and para-Sympathetic Pathways
"Something in us wishes to remain a child, to be unconscious or, at most, conscious only of the ego; to reject everything strange, or else subject it to our will; to do nothing, or else indulge our own craving for pleasure or power."
Carl Jung, The Structures & Dynamics of the Psyche
Enter now the Collective; Yes indeed, we have nothing but Collectives where people group together so as to belong and to exist unafraid, that is, without fear; in comfort and in a dream. Typical high level Collectives are "governments", political parties, professions such as Economics, Law, Institutional religions, Institutional establishments such as Bureaucracies, Police, Town Councils, football club, States, Corporations, etc., etc. All these maintain a competitive position over the "heads and souls" of the individual. All vigorously fight for the young sensitive minds; all preach to convert; all need to increase their power through numbers. Regardless, all are founded in dogma, lies, propaganda with their Prime Directive to defranchise any mind that chooses to independently think and consider, and to not believe without active and paranoiac skepticism. Misery loves company.
"The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend."
Henri Bergson, French Philosopher
All "Collectives" are built and maintained on the identical Principles of Institutional Hierarchical Religion, a process that has been in place for the past 3,000 years, or more.. Collectives are designed to usurp productivity, assets and wealth, through stealth and deception. Collectives demand individual sacrifice; that is, your sacrifice to the Collective. In modern terminology, Collectives are analogically defined as, and are identical to, in all aspects, as criminal "protection rackets".
It means then, that the "collectives" must be undone and restrained from usurping unconscious control over man. And men with such things to hide within the collective, must be exposed, while the paradigms of men must be allowed to be founded, advanced and nurtured in the gentle philosophies of proven science. Man must be allowed to exit from Plato's Cave and finally from the Garden of Eden, where he still remains today, and to enter the light of day, and to begin the journey towards his destiny.
Mass Hysteria is a collective contagion of excited irrationality common to all Collectives within a threshold that share - and sacrifice, to a singular belief structure and its organizations. It appears to have three modes: 1. dark mode or, where normality and social conformity appears as the norm and irrationality, lays latent, within the group, 2. trickle mode where heightened collective activity is visibly experienced but maintained within the confines of social norms and Mores, and 3, arc mode, where explosive irrationality leading to uncontrolled destructive acts are contagions amongst all members of the common collective, and beyond. Often called "Herd Instinct", Mass Hysteria is the very nature and heart of the Collectives' structure; the driving attribute that criminally and abusively, a priori, pits the Collective against the Individual. 'A condition affecting a group of persons characterized by excitement or anxiety, irrational behavior or beliefs, and/or inexplicable symptoms of illness'. The Collective is the enemy of man.
"It is worthy of remark that a belief constantly inculcated during the early years of life, whilst the brain is impressible, appears to acquire almost the nature of an instinct; and the very essence of an instinct is that it is followed independently of reason."
Charles Darwin
"Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one."
Charles Mackay
In all phenomena there consists structure, upon which organizations are built; to arrive, and thrive and yet to depart, expended, over time; the particular time measured by the Attentional Bell Curve. Social collectives have no integrity, a fact observable over all available history, and yet, remaining fully evident and visibly so today; indeed, more so, on every point. In order to be in accord with natural Physics, all parts must be of integrity and hence their holistic sum, that is to say, the mass of the phenomenon observed, is greater that the mathematical sum of those parts. The individual gives the Collective a mandate and in return the recipient receives some comfort. But within these Collectives, there exists no integrity due to the fact that each individual must sacrifice; this transfer subtracts from the innate integrity of the individual giver. This, then determines and defines the continuous cyclic breakdowns of the State. And, within all Collectives, there is no Heart; no Heart means materialism, albeit machine.
"What we call mass would seem to be nothing but an appearance, and all inertia to be of electromagnetic origin.”

"When we blindly adopt a religion, a political system, a literary dogma, we become automatons."
Anaïs Nin, The Diary of Anaïs Nin, Vol. 4: 1944-1947
In Western Nation States, the adopted governing and over-all Collectives are a cyclical zoo of broken but creeping and crawling pseudo-ideologies ranging from communism, democracy, fascism, neoliberalism, progressivism, liberal socialism and every other possible sordid variant thereof that can be imposed on man. The profession of Economics, an elite and important (but failed) sub-collective, which has, in particular, in excess of ~30 Schools of economic thought. All are faith based and all founded in dogma, lies and opinion, while not one can agree; their individual practitioners or members (the holy faithful and "True Believers"), often appear in public to preach unknowingly, the gospel of competing schools, as their own.
"Responsibility to yourself means refusing to let others do your thinking, talking, and naming for you; it means learning to respect and use your own brains and instincts; hence, grappling with hard work."
Adrienne Rich
"The biblical fall of man presents the dawn of consciousness as a curse," Jung wrote. Indeed, as Jung treats The "Stages of Life" in man, it becomes startlingly clear that man sacrifices himself and his natural functions to the Collective; an act so complete, that his inability to maintain his own Nervous System as operational, results in it becoming atrophic. But worse, and as a result, his ability to discern and to embrace risk, is lost. For all intents and purposes, man is dead and suitable for cultivation and harvest without opposition. The perfect slave.
Denial is the sign of this domestication, the inability of the Autonomic Nervous System to function and the unique human attribute "to negate" is whisked away by the Collective and sub-Collectives of choice. Hence, man has be-come a domesticated animal ready for the slaughter house; through the ultimate sacrifice, through the governing bombardment of bureaucratic ignorance, the indoctrination through education and through the cultivated Risk free milieu imposed on them by those that would harvest their productivity, assets and wealth. Man doesn't want to think but, a priori, demands security and comfort; and, of course, the blue pill.

"There are few things more dangerous than inbred religious certainty."
Bart D. Ehrman, God's Problem
From Joseph Campbell's magnificent work on the mythology surrounding that which he called The Hero's Journey, we have a fragment of hope, which, has been transmitted down through untold millennea. Merely 5% of humanity's population (at any given time) have the potential to guide humanity, where probability and fact would obviously be closer to, and or approaching a singular one; redundancy and conservatism; it is what Nature does best. From a summary of the steps of The Hero's Journey, the following extracts:
Woman as the Temptress
At one level, this step is about those temptations that may lead the hero to abandon or stray from his or her quest, which as with the Meeting with the Goddess does not necessarily have to be represented by a woman. For Campbell, however, this step is about the revulsion that the usually male hero may feel about his own fleshy/earthy nature, and the subsequent attachment or projection of that revulsion to women. Woman is a metaphor for the physical or material temptations of life, since the hero-knight was often tempted by lust from his spiritual journey.
Atonement with the Father
In this step the person must confront and be initiated by whatever holds the ultimate power in his or her life. In many myths and stories this is the father, or a father figure who has life and death power. This is the center point of the journey. All the previous steps have been moving in to this place, all that follow will move out from it. Although this step is most frequently symbolized by an encounter with a male entity, it does not have to be a male; just someone or thing with incredible power. For the transformation to take place, the person as he or she has been must be "killed" so that the new self can come into being. Sometime this killing is literal, and the earthly journey for that character is either over or moves into a different realm.
Apotheosis
To apotheosize is to deify. When someone dies a physical death, or dies to the self to live in spirit, he or she moves beyond the pairs of opposites to a state of divine knowledge, love, compassion and bliss. This is a god-like state; the person is in heaven and beyond all strife. A more mundane way of looking at this step is that it is a period of rest, peace and fulfillment before the hero begins the return.
The messages of ancient Gnostic wisdom clearly scream from the past but still today, and most unfortunately, continue to fall on closed minds of modern day denial. But then, in the Parables of Isaiah, Isaiah is told to preach and not to attempt to convert or convince. So we move on...
However, this discourse does not hold nor suggest that "accomplishment" is withheld from any man, au contraire - but loudly indicates that all of man can rise to his/her destiny, given the right guidance through responsible "leadership". That leadership which accept its role to humanity. Adam of the Garden of Eden represented all humanity, while Eve - not a person, but the Principle of creation and nurture, within all man. Adam [humanity] was expelled, but has not yet left the Garden of Eden; has not yet embraced time. It is time for all humanity to leave the Garden and to embrace life so as to be evoked by the Principles of Creativity. This, is a message from Genesis; translated from the original Hebraic idiom; a message from Moses.
"The opinions that are held with passion are always those for which no good ground exists; indeed the passion is the measure of the holders lack of rational conviction. Opinions in politics and religion are almost always held passionately."
Bertrand Russell
"When we blindly adopt a religion, a political system, a literary dogma, we become automatons."
Anaïs Nin, The Diary of Anaïs Nin, Vol. 4: 1944-1947
The more a society allows itself to be-come dumbed down, and fear reduced, that is to say, 'Risk Adverse", the more the natural human abilities to judge Risk disappear from neurological options, that is, the natural functions of the ANS/Central Nervous System (CNS) deteriorate to such an extent they become totally absorbed and usurped by our "Collective" imposed Belief System and Social Paradigm. The innate "flight" or make "fight" functions of the Nervous System atrophy, and "denial" be-comes the only default mechanism available to the human community. The latter, of course, is forced onto us within the Collective through canned education, TV and Political incantations and peer pressure, particularly under nationalistic guise And worse, as we join sub-collectives, such as bureaucracy, or football club, or corporate body, or bank, or become an Economist, etc., etc., this Collective Belief System is steel hardened to the extent that we no longer have any natural abilities left to protect ourselves, or to comprehend our place in Life, that is to say, time. We thereby condemn ourselves and our children.
The end result is that we and our descendants are prepared to be-come "Soylent Green", that is to say, "Waiting to Die", and also, in real terms, a waste of space and time. Those of this state were known and referred to by the ancients as "useless stomachs".This process today is known as and termed "domestication", by definition. Darwin observed that the human was most closely related to domesticated animals. Reminding this writer of how they domesticate wild elephants - stunningly cruel and truly sad, as the Universal Spirit of God departs its earthly form, with a quivering and convulsive shudder. Hence, it is now clear why humanity appears to be so destructive; but it is not humanity, it is the Collective.

P. Engel Ph.D - Adam & Eve: The Solar Temptation
Humans as super molecules, have a natural ability and need to "communicate" and exchange, in a biblical model of 'give and take'. In the model of things on a surface, and taking into consideration that all phenomena function in a medium. Even true in outer space where we have neutrinos as the medium for Plasma, in which electricity runs it's course, sustaining itself with the creation of magnetic fields, perpendicular to its path, and thusly feeding energy spontaneously to all within the confined Universe. Albeit in 3 modes of intensity, expressed in gradients. Today's "money" has usurped the human diaspora of its natural milieu, by becoming that vital 'energy of the blood' through substitution. As a result, and without recourse to the truth of the intellectual wisdom handed down to humanity by ancient seers, we are held in a cage of ignorance with only "denial" as our only course of action. However, change is here; it is time to leave the Cave...
As I have cited, the differences lay within, initially, forming a Society or State. Marx demanded a State, of the people, for the State; where all values are of the State - physically impossible. Consider the envelope that contains a poem. Does the envelope determine and take on the value of the poem?
A Society on the other hand, is of the people, for the people and the values fall within the people. A society builds culture. Culture is the metaphor conceived by Adam Smith, the 'invisible hand' of Society,
But the West primarily has no culture; Australia has no culture, the USA has now lost what it started to create as culture - in exchange for Empire; where many nations do have culture. Culture negates the needs of parasitical collectives, but it doesn't stop the development of collectives.
And once cultures are subordinated to Collectives, the Society is finished. Look only to the USA for the evidence of collectives destroying Society, just as all Empires that have passed before today.
The path to knowledge and wisdom can be sought through culture within a Society, but never through a collective, and or a State, the latter which in itself, is a collective by definition and, a priori.
What I have said above then, waives the objection in questioning that the role of the hero is not valid in some circumstance. I have also suggested that those that guide humanity in concordance, are few, and further suggest here that the hero will arise under any circumstances, but the objective is for large proportions of exposure to the population at large, in order to increase the evolutionary awareness of the intellect of humanity and by thus achieving a higher level of morality and intellectual comprehension. It is no mistake that Critical Mass lies at 2% and such a fact cries out a certain truth about the vagaries and potentials in man; in fact, it just blows the mind when considering the implications in terms of physics. No Empire can defeat Critical Mass and therefore no Empire is a Universal Principal, but merely, just another Collective; misguided political orientated and hierarchical biased judgement.
Each individual must seek the path of the hero: this heightens the end game and within the framework of thermodynamics, the zodiac and music theory, drives humanity to the crescendo, to end and then to begin, yet again, as any great orchestral composition.
Culture is the true 'money' of humanity. it is the medium of exchange that carries it own rules; rules that evolve to the milieu and forges man in the fires of hell to be beaten on the anvils of time by the awful Hammer of the Grace of God. Culture is the "invisible hand".

"I am a child of earth and the starry skies,
but my race is of heaven alone.
Attracted to earth by reason of its incorporation in a body of flesh,
the soul thus asserts its inalienable selfhood as a product of heaven
and
its imperishable essences of real being.
It might have elaborated the statement by saying:
"I am a child of the primordial empyreal spirit-fire;
my essential nature,
which has given me birth,
sustains me and renders me eternal,
but I periodically link myself to physis,
on a convenient planet,
in order to acquire mastery of the energies of atomic matter.
To become coadjutor with God in his creation,
I must gain conscious control of the universal power
embosomed in physis.
Therefore I am, in a body and for a time, a child of earth."
