From the Summit of the Moral High Ground

Translated into English Gnosis in an Age of Madness Back in 2020, when much of the world seemed gripped by a kind of irrational mass hysteria, I found myself craving something increasingly rare in modern life: silence. Not merely physical silence, but intellectual silence. Space away from the noise of governments, media cycles, social conformity, and the endless pressure to think collectively rather than individually. I wanted solitude because I wanted clarity. I wanted to think. More importantly, I wanted to experience true gnosis . English is a curious language, perhaps because we have developed a habit of hollowing out words and reshaping them until their original meanings become obscured. The word gnosis comes from the Greek and simply means “to know.” Not to speculate. Not to believe. Not to repeat fashionable opinions. But to know through direct understanding and experience. Today, if one searches for “Gnosticism,” one is immediately directed toward discussions of obscure ea...

Challenging the Illusion: Why Society Must Be Questioned There is a quiet pressure in modern society to conform. We are encouraged to accept prevailing narratives, obey established systems, and remain within carefully defined cultural boundaries. Those who question the dominant consensus are often dismissed as disruptive, dangerous, or unreasonable. Yet history repeatedly demonstrates that progress has always depended upon individuals willing to challenge the accepted order. The importance of questioning societal constructs is not merely political or philosophical — it is deeply personal. To challenge the assumptions of society is to begin the process of genuine self-discovery. The Path to Personal Growth From childhood, people are assigned labels, expectations, and roles. Society tells individuals who they should be, what success looks like, what beliefs are acceptable, and which ambitions are considered respectable. Many people spend their entire lives operating within frameworks the...

A formal complaint has been lodged against the Minister for Home Affairs alleging a failure to ensure independent and procedurally fair oversight of complaints concerning the States of Jersey Prison Service. The complaint, submitted under the Ministerial Code, argues that complaints concerning prison conduct and decision-making are routinely redirected back to the Prison Service itself, rather than being considered by an independent and impartial body. The complaint further argues that this creates a structural conflict of interest whereby the subject of complaints is effectively permitted to investigate itself. The issue is particularly significant because the Court of Appeal previously found that the Prison Service breached my human rights after I was forced to attend my father’s funeral in handcuffs following what the Court described as a flawed and unjustifiable risk assessment process.

For a place like Jersey , the weakness of independent politics is not just fragmentation — it is vulnerability. An isolated States Member can be pressured, managed, delayed, exhausted or quietly neutralised by an entrenched civil service far more easily than a disciplined political party can. Political parties are not merely electoral machines. They are structures of accountability and collective resistance. A lone deputy who challenges the bureaucracy risks being isolated: denied influence, excluded from informal networks, overwhelmed with procedure, outmanoeuvred by institutional continuity, or gradually absorbed into the administrative culture they were elected to scrutinise. But a party changes the balance entirely. A party gives elected representatives: shared policy, shared research, collective discipline, institutional memory, and political consequences for betrayal or drift. Most importantly, parties create loyalty to voters and principles rather than dependenc...

Dr Ott’s Nine Veils: A Modern Reimagining of an Ancient Idea The concept of the Nine Veils to Perception , often attributed in modern discussion to Dr Ott, can be understood as a contemporary development built upon the earlier Eight Veils of Don Harkins, while also echoing far older ideas found in Gnostic Christianity—particularly the role of the Archons. Taken together, these frameworks attempt to answer a shared question: What are the layers that separate human beings from a fuller perception of reality—and why do they exist at all? Source of the Modern Formulation The modern nine-veil structure is most clearly articulated in A. True Ott’s article: 👉 The 9 Veils Placed On Every Human Soul This text builds on Harkins’ earlier work and sets out the expanded model, including the key principles that perception is limited, progression is rare, and those who move beyond early veils are often perceived as irrational by others. From Gnostic Cosmology to Modern F...

Understanding the Nine Veils 'Ninety percent of all humanity will live and die without having pierced the first veil.' ' D Harkins Nearly a decade ago, a dear friend and colleague of mine named Don Harkins authored a wonderfully thought-provoking piece entitled 'Slavery and the eight veils. Prior to Harkins' untimely death, we discussed this 'Eight-veils theory' for literally hours together ' and in the end, Don asked me to write a piece about this for his newspaper, 'The Idaho Observer.' He did this, because I had shared much of my research with Don, and we together came to the conclusion that in reality, there were actually NINE veils placed on the human soul (i.e. intelligence), and that spiritual progression and thus a full knowledge of TRUTH would require the piercing of these Nine Veils. ...
