Hidden (latin: Occult) Knowledge 1: I am a Magician, or have I become insane?

Hermetic Magic holds that what you believe, is .

For some time now I have felt separated from you. I have withdrawn from the world to spend my forty months in isolated contemplation, I have been tempted with material things but have eschewed them for a deeper more profound understanding of the immaterial.

The truth was within easy reach and in all honesty was something I have always known, it simply required that I accept that knowledge, cease making my self, through fear and doubt, an obstacle to everything that was always intended for me.

I selected this as the image for myself for a few months before I left Facebook. The decision to walk away from Facebook was necessitated by the same discomfort I feel in many being's company. I find your lack of understanding, your lack of wisdom, your ignorance to be physically uncomfortable. I find your suffering, unnecessary though it may be, to cause me to feel pain. You are harming yourselves, you do not even realise it, but there is little I can do to stop you.

It is all Magic; Social Media, Hollywood, Organised Religion, Politics, Law - and not a particularly pleasant form of Magic, being evinced in its intention to hold you in the material realm to harnass your God given powers of creation to uses of which you are ignorant and which are contrary to your best interests.

There are as many discourses on magic (magic simply meaning wisdom) as there are ancient cultures but there is a striking similarity that runs between them all. Even if the stage dressing may vary, the stage remains the same.

There are two worlds, the material and the immaterial. You the being are immaterial, your body is the material which you inhabit. They are not one and the same. In a later blog we will go into further depth on these subjects but for now, I will prove to you that Magic is Real.

Am I Insane?

There have been many Magi in my life, but the first person who I had contact with who declared himself to be a Magician was Alan Moore; you may not recognise his name but you will recognise his magic at work. In the 1980's he wrote a 12 issue series of comic books called V for Vendetta. At the age of 40 he declared himself to be a magician, some decades later in March 2019, one can only imagine how he felt to have scenes from the comic book manifested into real life in the million mask march.

Now I may never have performed acts of magic on such a grand scale, but in my mind the conception of an idea inevitably precedes the manifestation of that idea. I have become quite adept and turning my comparatively limited perceptions into reality. In the space of ten years I went from sleeping in a homeless shelter to being a millionaire... (albeit helped by the government in decreasing the actual value of a million pounds). But I actually did nothing, I simply stopped being an obstacle, stopped fearing, stopped doubting, stopped asking, "why me"? I allowed the will of God to manifest into my life. It is really very simple when you think about it. God is love so why would He not want me to enjoy everything He possibly could?

In a future post we will break down the steps involved in working Magic.

Solve et Coagulum: "Homosexuality is not normal"

For the purpose of this post we shall be using the Hermetic Magic maxim "Solve et Coagulum": disassemble to its parts and re-assemble.

(What we won't be considering is the far more important question of why do people aspire to be average and what does that say about modern society?)

But what exactly are young people questioning?

Recently we examined why young people are dumb; a wise person would simply walk down the street through a mixed gender group and it should be readily apparent whether you are heterosexual or homosexual. I can't give you the answer for your self, but it really cannot take more than a couple of minutes to work out. Done? Great, let's move on to something that actually matters.

Why is this even a question?

I was shocked to see on page 1 of my local paper, the Jersey Evening Post, on the 28th March a statement from the XYZ group that "there is a reported increase in the number of people questioning their sexuality and that is a good thing".

I fail to see how doubt and/or fear can ever be a "good thing"; my natural conclusion was that the particular representative, personally, believed it to be a "good thing" which is of course revealing of their thought processes, their aspirations for society, but very little else. They wish to be "normal", or more precisely they want everyone to be the same as them. That would seem to be a very self-centred attitude and not one based in Love.

There is, to my mind, no such thing as "good" or "bad", because I have freed myself from other's expectations and societal impositions - there is only that which brings me joy and that which does not. I have lived long enough to always choose joy without making a song and dance about it. But unlike the person quoted, that other people have shared the same experience as me, would not be a source of joy.

Before discussing the results let us break down the search term first; clearly we would first need to define the term "normal".

We could define normal in two different ways; the literal and the personal.

The Mathematical Answer

Literally "normal" means conforming to the "norm" which is a mathematical term for average. There are of course three different forms of average; mean, median and mode.

The mean is calculated by adding all the numbers together and dividing by the number of numbers. Clearly since one is either homosexual or not, this is not an effective method in this case.

The median is the number in the middle if you place all the numbers in sequence. Clearly the median person is not homosexual.

The mode is the most represented number and here again the modal person is not homosexual.

 Mathematically therefore homosexuality is not normal.

Normative Bias

The Personal Answer relies upon the phenomenon of normative bias.

It was written on the entrance to the Oracle of Delphi "Know Thyself"; this is slightly superfluous because the only thing that any being can ever truly "know" is what it is to be one's self. You cannot know what it is to "be" another being. Which is why only you are truly qualified to make decisions for yourself. Indeed the very idea that anyone knows better than you about you is plainly ridiculous, yet many people seem to think that they cannot look after their self.

Any definition of "normal" is therefore limited to a definition of self and variance from self. For each of us, our being is the norm, the average, after all it is what we experience for the greatest part of time.Other people are therefore measured by degree of variance from the self.

By this measure for me personally, homosexuality is also not normal.

What Did Google Say?

I put the term "homosexuality is not normal" into a google search, just to see what would come up. It was all rather disappointing, I do understand that the question itself is somewhat non-sensical because unless as an expression of self, the whole idea that there is a "normal" human being is somewhat laughable. 

Money is Social Control 1: Why Usuary, the Charging of Interest on Loans, Should be a Capital Offence

A good shepherd does not endanger the rest of the herd to find a single lost lamb

The Agricultural Origins of Loan Interest

You may wonder how the very notion of interest on a loan ever came to be; well the answer is very simple... I will lend you 10 sheep and I want 11 back in a year's time. 

Naturally 10 sheep will give birth to at least 10 lambs, some of which will be consumed for food, but the return of 11 sheep on a loan of 10 sheep for a year seems like a reasonable contract.

A sheep has a defined value; the value of the wool which it grows, the value of the meat which can be consumed and the value of the lambs that it can bear. 10 sheep is probably sustenance and clothing for 1 person for 1 year.

A sheep also has a cost, the cost of feeding, sheltering and protecting it.

By loaning out the sheep the owner is defraying the cost and the risks for a guaranteed return which although less than what might be made does not require any effort on his part.

That is a fair exchange.

The Shepherd

Now the shepherd might collect 1,000 sheep from various people in a community and be expected to return 1,100 a year later

During that time some sheep will be lost to predators, some will die of old age, some will die during lambing, some will be eaten by the shepherd.

By combining all the sheep into one herd, the risks associated with owning sheep are shared and so everyone can expect quite reasonably for the terms of the contract to be completed. Especially where there is no particular demand that an individual sheep be returned to a specific individual.

Money does not Breed

But what if it is something "unnatural" which is loaned out? Like say money.

Gold and silver are Money; nothing else is. But there is a fixed amount of Gold and Silver in the world and they can't make any more. Gold has only one function - that it does not change. You can dig Gold out of the ground it is true, but then you cannot look after sheep.

If the number of sheep in the world constantly increases, the amount of gold which is required to be exchanged for a sheep should therefore constantly decrease and indeed looking at the price of goods pre-1913 the price of goods outside of periods of war, such as the American War to enforce the Union on the Confederacy (also known as the American Civil War), the price of goods did constantly fall.

As more and more human beings came into existence, an equitable distribution of gold would naturally mean that each being has less gold and so that reduced amount of gold would, by necessity, be required to cover the subsistence of cost of each being and so prices should fall.

In such a world (i.e. the one we live in), simply having the same amount of gold returned to a lender a year later would mean that the lender had enjoyed the economic benefit of having someone else be responsible for their gold for a year and be better off.

It should be no surprise that charging interest on gold has often been banned and has even carried a death penalty in societies.

Fiscal Irresponsibility

But that is not how our world works; on the contrary, whilst the value of gold does constantly increase, so do prices... because no one has gold anymore it has been substituted with the promises of fiscally irresponsible governments.

Governments over the centuries have borrowed heavily to finance wars. Loans which take decades to pay back. Loans which are partially paid back and which are partially de-valued by decreasing the value of government promises.

In 1921 the British government (deeply endebted after World War I) broke their promises and stopped exchanging the promise of "One Pound of Sterling Silver" written on each bank note - the British government went bankrupt. In 1933 the US government confiscated all the gold in the hands of the American people and exchanged one ounce of gold for a $20 promissory note... the very next day they re-priced gold at $35 per ounce. Outright fraud. Yet less than 40 years later, by 1971, the US government had run out of the money they had stolen in 1933 and no longer would a $20 note being exchangeable for an ounce of gold.

What these governments are doing, in effect; is collecting up the sheep and bringing them back the next year but without any fleeces... the sheep are returned but much of the value of them has already been taken.

That is NOT a fair exchange.

Brainwashing & Social Control 1: Why Young People are Dumb

Fluency of Living

Fluency in a language is simply a matter of experience, with repeated use of language it becomes possible for a listener to predict in advance the conclusion of a sentence, whilst someone who is beginning in a language must devote a huge amount of time to trying to translate each word individually and then from those words derive a meaning. A much longer process.

The same is true of the very experience of being.

Wisdom is simply a measure of how fluent an individual is at life and as with languages it only comes with practice.

The Folly of Youth

Young people are dumb, not because they are intrinsically stupid, but simply because they have not had the experience and practice necessary. Folly is not strictly a function of age as different individuals will acquire fluency at different rates, but there is a definite correlation.

Educating Young People

The process of educating a young mind is therefore a multi-layered affair; the same information is repeated over a number of years with ever increasing complexity.

Let us take the example of what is an electron?

At 14 an electron is a negatively charged particle.

By 18 an electron is a dual wave/particle which can best be expressed by defining an area (termed an orbital) which represents a 90% - 95% probability of containing the mass of the electron at any given time.

And probably it is even more complicated than that if one were to pursue such studies.

The degree of accuracy in expressing the truth has increased to coincide with the increased ability of the individual to comprehend; and most 18 year olds are not taught what an electron actually is, because it is completely unnecessary knowledge for most people to possess and therefore not particularly of any interest.

The Exploitation of Youth

It is therefore no coincidence that some of the more non-sensical thoughts are inflicted upon young people, not only do they lack the wisdom to know immediately what is nonsense, but many are left in the care of people who really don't care about the child. Nannies and teachers are just doing a job, and as with all employees will utilize a minimum possible amount of energy  in pursuit of their work and will only aim to meet an ever decreasing level (in the case of teachers at least) of expectation.

Babies are born hopefully to caring adults who will cherish and protect them, and the experience of being cared for engenders in children a belief that big people are good. But a baby has no way of comparing their individual experience with the range of other experiences available and so whatever experience they have will be consider "normal" through simple normative bias.

An average 2 year old does not know the difference between a parent telling them no, because they are protecting the best interests of the child or whether they are being told no for another reason; no simply means no.

They also do not know how to identify an adult who will act in the child's best interest or an adult who is acting in the adult's best interest.

YOU are the problem, YOU are not just a part of the solution

Yes, you...

You create your own existence, you create your own reality, everything that happens to you, comes from within you.

The Role of God and the Queen in a World Where Customers Are Always Right

Fundamentally the only job of the Queen is to grant the wishes of her people, what a great job to have, the Queen therefore IS a representation of the divine on earth.

Once upon a time, the King may have said "Well what on earth do you want that for? Have you really thought this through?"; but these days the process is "These are the wishes of your people, Ma'am" and the Queen simply replies "Let it be So". After all "The Customer is Always Right", no matter how ridiculous the request, because the customer is the one paying for it.

The Queen therefore is beyond reproach as she simply gave you everything you asked for.

Why would you expect the divine to act any differently?

Be Careful What You Wish For

So problems in life only arise as a result of errors in your own judgement; now many such errors are understandable because of the education you are given. Because you are encouraged to feel guilt, shame, doubt, anger, desire, pride and fear; all negative emotions which will result in negative consequences. Happiness, joy, bliss, love - these are set as unattainable aspirations. Yet it is these feelings which bring with them positive consequences.

Now that is much easier to say than to achieve, especially if you have been trained your whole life to believe that you cannot have such feelings.

For me it took ten years or more to de-program myself from State education and re-program myself for success; and I was halfway there when I started.

In that time I have gone from sleeping in a homeless shelter to having a million pounds or more pass through my hands in any 12 month period.

In essence the change was easy, I simply read the signs and took the opportunities which presented themselves and was taken from one state to another... the hard part was keeping the negative emotions at bay. Do I deserve this? Why is this happening to me? What if something goes wrong?

But I do deserve that which God has granted me, nothing will go wrong because God is love and why would He impose anything but that for his own creation, this is His plan for all his creations so long as they accept His grace.

I simply had to choose to live a life of joy; and having made that choice that is my experience in each and every moment.

A new direction

When I write these blogs it is primarily for my own benefit to order my own thoughts and work through whatever idle speculation has been occupying my mind.

The blog had a long hiatus simply because I have moved on from the speculation of politics and law; the understanding has come and gone. I now understand that the best solution to these problems is quite simply to act as if they do not exist... because then they do not if I do not grant them an existence.

If I receive a letter purporting to be from "government" then it is torn in two, unopened. Fortunately because what purports to be the government thinks it is important there are many clues on the envelope. For the six months now that I have been doing this the result is that the government does not now exist, at least in my reality and I have noticed that I am happier in my existence.

But this step is simply not enough, I must now remove myself from the society which acts to enforce the government's will through pre-programmed responses.

Society has not changed a great deal; it is no longer Jews in 1940's Germany or Homosexuals as in 1950's Britain but there are still acceptable targets for human hatred and it seems that the need of the many is to have a few to hate.

The truth is that no "government" could ever hope to enforce its will without the willing assistance of people. The gestapo did not patrol the streets looking for Jews they waited until people phoned in reports... the function of "government" does not differ today. They all sit in their offices waiting for your call; of course once unleashed they are a law unto themselves.

If it were not for "minorities" the power of government would be greatly diminished and minorities are encouraged to engage with governmental agencies because they are more willing to engage.

So I warn you in advance, this blog will be honest. You will have plenty of opportunity to take offence if you so wish, but that is not the purpose or intention. The purpose is to challenge your assumptions and try and demonstrate where you are acting under mental programming rather than rational thought.

I am looking forward to it.
