The Dispensationalist Deception & the Global Meta-Conspiracy

One of the most common interpretations of the Bible’s apocalypse, which includes the so-called Illuminati and its secret plot to establish a satanic New World Order, was first popularized by John Nelson Darby, the cult leader who invented the Rapture doctrine in the 1830s. Funny enough, he was also Aleister Crowley’s “priest” as a youth. And supposedly, it was Darby’s absurd preaching that caused the occultist to rebel against God in the first place.

Nevertheless, Darby’s insane eschatology, called Dispensationalism, was eventually included in the Scofield Study Bible, which was published in 1909 and went on to infect nearly every Protestant Bible college and seminary school with Zionist teachings about a physical Third Temple being rebuilt in the end times, and Israel being a literal nation-state, rather than a mystical and heavenly country.

Like the Pharisees, who could only comprehend the letter of the Word and not the spirit, the dispensationalist Darby literalized every mystically symbolic text, leading people to believe the New World Order would enforce a physical Mark of the Beast right before Christ returns to rule over an earthly kingdom that lasts exactly a thousand years. Yet, the very first Christians, who saw Christ, heard to His sermons, and got discipled by the Apostles, never believed these strange things.

They understood the Bible’s apocalypse as a heavenly vision beheld by Saint John, who was describing a mysterious and timeless reality, not a linear series of historical events. But I digress.

During the 1960s, Dispensationalism and New World Order conspiracy theories were embraced by Hollywood directors and television show producers, implanting these ideas in the subconscious minds of many Americans. They were even embraced by Protestant politicians, like those in the John Birch Society, a right-wing movement who radicalized paranoid conservatives at the height of the Cold War.

Around the same time, Jack Chick, a retired cryptographer for the US Army and former Lockheed employee who became an evangelical cartoonist, began propagandizing the masses with his famous comics called Chick Tracts, which went on to inform the conspiratorial and dispensationalist “theology” of many Protestants as well. However, it seems Chick himself was influenced by the disinformation agents that surrounded him.

Chick would cross paths with people like John Todd and Rebecca Brown, Illuminati “whistleblowers” who’ve since been exposed as mentally ill frauds. But some say they were actually MKUltra subjects, or victims of mind control released into the world to start cults and cause chaos, similar to Charles Manson and David Koresh, who also attracted followers with dispensationalist beliefs.

This seems to happen to influential people a lot, especially researchers and “content creators”. Once they gain an audience, bad actors befriend them and start feeding them bad information. Then, the “influencer” repeats it to their audience in an honest and genuine way, because the best actors don’t know they are playing a role. They read off a script without even being aware of it. Sadly, it seems many good intentioned truth seekers are turned into useful idiots this way.

However, if they do become aware of this and go off script, they are deplatformed, discredited, driven insane, or suicided. Perhaps this is what happened to Bill Cooper after he realized his military “friends” were feeding him fake documents. Before his untimely death, he started exposing Alex Jones and denouncing some old ideas. There are a few other researchers who fall into this category. But they deserve their own essays.

Chick would also befriend Alberto Rivera, another fraudulent “whistleblower” who claimed to be on the run from the Jesuits. Rivera filled Chick with all kinds of hateful, anti-Catholic ideas, convincing him that all popes were antichrists and that the Vatican itself was the Whore of Babylon. Rivera claimed the Jesuits within the Vatican were responsible for basically everything: the creation of Islam, Nazism, and communism, the Great Depression and World Wars, and even the assassinations of JFK and Abraham Lincoln. While some of these things may be true, one has to wonder why Rivera would lie about his life story.

Also during the 1960s was the founding of the Discordian Society, a “religious” movement that aimed to expose and overthrow the Illuminati and its New World Order by worshiping Eris, the goddess of chaos who’d save humanity from patriarchal religions and governments. Funny enough, their beliefs were influenced by Aleister Crowley and his concept of the demoness Babalon.

Even funnier, according to some studies in popular culture, the Discordian Society is maybe the most responsible for making conspiracy theories mainstream. In fact, they helped make the infamous Illuminati card game. Then, they played a part in founding the Disinformation Company, which went on to fund documentaries about 9/11 conspiracies and platform people like Alex Jones and Joe Rogan. At the same time, they promoted Crowley’s occultism and discredited Christianity by claiming religion was a conspiracy too.

The Disinformation Company was even used by the openly satanic neo-Nazi and Air Force intelligence officer Michael Aquino for his so-called Mind War, a psychological operation intended to incite a right-wing revolution and manufacture public consent to suspend the constitution, fulfilling the fascist dream of a Fourth Reich. To do this, he said the military would weaponize information by using “Excalibur” the sword of truth, or rather using half-truths, released by a controlled opposition “alternative media” and “counterculture”.

Aquino was, of course, an adherent of Crowley. And Aquino, the Discordians, and the Disinformation Company were also affiliated with the Esalen Institute, a transhumanist “human potential movement” think tank associated with MKUltra. Esalen included thought leaders like Alan Watts and Terrence McKenna, as well as Aldous Huxley, who indoctrinated many school children with the dystopian vision of a Brave New World. Huxley’s student at Eton, George Orwell, would do the same thing with his book 1984. But I digress.

Like Jack Chick, the Discordians also used tracts, or pamphlets and “zines” to spread their ideas. Through their “underground” art, they popularized other fringe ideas, like experimenting with “mystical” drugs and doing paranormal research. By promoting the work of supernatural scientists, or “Forteans”, they made it trendy to hunt cryptids, follow synchronicities, and summon UFOs, which are common “hobbies” today.

They are even practiced by Christians, despite the fact that they are dangerous forms of divination and omen seeking, which ultimately result in madness or suicide. Even the greatest paranormal researchers, such as John Keel, would agree. He compared these activities to a web of black magick a person can get tied up in, effectively cursing themselves. Nevertheless, this method of using avant-garde art to change culture and subvert society is not novel. In fact, it has been going on for a long time.

Between 1838 and 1851, a pamphleteer writing under the pen name “Satan” caused public outrage when he exposed the Rothschild banking dynasty. The anonymous author was Mathieu Georges Dairnvaell, a somewhat mysterious figure who described himself as an “obscure scribbler”. No one knows who his family was and he would have been totally forgotten by history had he not successfully sparked a movement of “economic antisemitism” across Europe.

Then, in the 1890s, another pamphleteer named Marie Joseph Gabriel Antoine Jogand-Pagès basically did the same thing. He wrote under the pen name of Léo Taxil and exposed the Freemasons as closeted Luciferians, causing a commotion in the Catholic community. However, all his eyewitness accounts of satanic rituals and incarnating demons turned out to be fictitious. The whole spectacle came to be known as the Taxil hoax. Despite this fact, conspiracy theorists still use Taxil as a primary source of information to this day.

In fact, they do this with many forged documents that “reveal” the Illuminati’s plans, such as Albert Pike’s letter describing three World Wars. The letter is most likely another hoax. The original, if there is one, has never been seen. All we know is the version that was published by William Guy Carr, which was actually a “legend” he heard about a manuscript in a museum and paraphrased. In one of his books, he even admitted “The Keeper of manuscripts recently informed the author that this letter is NOT cataloged in the British Museum Library.”

Besides Darby, Carr was one of the first to promote Dispensationalism and New World Order conspiracy theories. Carr has been called “the most influential source in creating the American Illuminati demonology". Another writer said Carr “…largely contributed to popularise the themes of anti-Masonic conspiracism in the United States and in Canada; first, it reached the Christian fundamentalist milieu (mainly concerned with his 'Luciferian' conspiracies), then the whole far-right movement and the new generations of conspiracy theorists.”

However, Carr was also a naval officer and Canadian intelligence asset who led a Protestant political activist group called the National Federation of Christian Laymen. If you haven’t caught on yet, these are all red flags. He even based some of his books on works written by the hoaxer Taxil! And you thought the religion telephone game was bad… Nevertheless, Carr was also inspired by Augustin Barruel and John Robison, two friends who wrote about secret societies and the occult in the late 1700s and early 1800s.

They said the Jews, Freemasons, and Illuminati were working together to dismantle religious monarchies and Catholic institutions in order to create an atheist World Republic. They also said the French Revolution was a Masonic plot to further this goal, which seems accurate, considering the proto-Zionist ideology that was behind it. But Augustin himself was a Freemason, as well as a Jesuit. And his own theories were fed to him by yet another mysterious figure known as Jean-Baptiste Simonini.

In 1806, Augustin received the infamous Simonini letter, the earliest modern example of a New World Order conspiracy theory. The document was supposedly written by a man who had infiltrated an Italian Jewish community before being briefed on their hidden agenda. Augustin refused to publish the letter out of fear, but probably sent private copies to his acquaintances, because it was eventually archived by a French library and museum in the 1870s.

At one point, Augustin tried to contact Simonini. He never heard from him again though. Was this unreachable writer was yet another disinformation agent?

Nevertheless, the Simonini letter would later shape the beliefs of William Guy Carr’s other major influence, Nesta Webster. Webster was an interesting woman. She wrote articles for The Patriot, a right-wing newsletter funded by the British army officer Alan Percy. And like the other people in this essay, she claimed the Illuminati, or “the occult power” that consisted of Masons, Jesuits, and a Jewish cabal, were secretly planning to implement a global communist government.

McKenna’s Singularity Event, Elon’s Pole Shift Theory & The Fake 5D Earth (An Orthodox Perspective)

Terence McKenna said as we approach the singularity event, things will get stranger and stranger until people are forced to talk about how strange things are. Everything will become contradictory. Time will lose relevancy. And complexity will increase beyond comprehension. Then, everyone will be forced to question reality together, resulting in an apocalyptic awakening. It seems his prediction is coming true.

However, it also seems McKenna had some insider information because of his affiliation with the Esalen Institute. The Esalen Institute was basically an offshoot of MKUltra that was founded by members of the Human Potential Movement, a group of transhumanists who used psychedelics to explore human consciousness. They did this in hopes of discovering the alchemical elixir of immortality, which would become the basis for their “perennial philosophy” or one world religion.

So, it seems this apocalyptic awakening is more like an AI-orchestrated Armageddon, or a cybernetic initiation into Techno-Gnosticism, rather than the actual Divine Revelation of everything hidden at the end of time. The Scriptures warn us about a one world religion, which will be convincing to faithless philosophers and even intellectual Christians, because faith is a lived experience in the heart, not just the mind. This is why Christ will say He never knew some believers. Nevertheless, this one world religion can only come about after a great falling away from the faith, as well as a period of peace.

There hasn’t been a period of peace yet. But the great falling away has been slowly happening since the 1500s. For the first one thousand years after Christ’s crucifixion, there was only One Holy Universal and Apostolic Church, which Christ’s own disciples had founded. However, this Church became divided in 1054, resulting in the formation of Orthodoxy and Catholicism. Then, timeless doctrines were diluted by heretical “Christian” alchemists. During this division, a period known as the Great Schism, Catholics were introduced to alchemy by the Ottoman Turks, who had invaded their country.

Because of this, Catholicism became more esoteric and intellectual, like the ancient pagan texts they were reading. Understanding the Holy Scriptures became more of an academic activity in the mind, rather than a spiritual activity in the heart. This scholarly and occult-influenced attitude towards God would also play a part in the Renaissance, as well as the Enlightenment movement. And eventually, “enlightened” Catholics could clearly see the hypocrisy of the papacy and decided they would liberate themselves from their false religion.

These papacy protestors, or Protestants, decided they did not need any authorities to be saved. All they needed was a Bible. And this was true to an extent, but like some Orthodox priests have said, they accidentally threw the baby out with the bath water when they totally disregarded the Apostolic Tradition that produced the Bible to begin with. And without the Apostolic Tradition, they were left with a void they could not fill, no matter how deeply they meditated on the Word. They could not fully comprehend Christianity anymore, no matter how many new ideas they came up with to fill in the blanks.

This is why, during this even more divisive time, the Protestant Reformation, “enlightened” ex-Catholics created so many conflicting and confusing sects, or denominations, of Christianity. Yet, all of them were still tainted with the intellectual and alchemical way of thinking they had been indoctrinated with in church and school. So, they also started preaching different end times interpretations and using alchemical divination techniques to talk to “angels” in hopes of receiving helpful “revelations”. All of this absurdity is why many people gave up on the Christian religion and became deists, humanists, existentialists, and atheists.

In fact, it seems as if all of this was done intentionally by evil alchemists who wanted to slowly but surely destroy the Church from within, destroying the masses’s belief in God at the same time. Alchemy actually came from the Kabbala and other Babylonian books the Jews who did not convert still hung on to. And truly, all of these doctrines are actually Gnostic, which makes sense considering the Jews, like the Gnostics, hate God. So, they want to become their own gods using Kabbalistic technology, like computers, which were in fact invented by “Christian” alchemists like John Dee and Johannes Trithemius, hence the internet as a Techno-Gnostic initiation tool. Like the Orthodox writer and researcher @a_westgate said:

“It is a fundamental mistake to think of the Protestant Reformation was a mere rebellion against the corruption of the Roman papacy. The Reformation is an ongoing Kabbalistic revolution that has fragmented Christendom into thousands of pieces—imposing the worst catastrophe upon Western civilization. It led to the destruction of Christian tradition, the birth of Freemasonry, the spread of nominalism, and the creation of the antichrist Zionist state.”

So, the Protestants and Reformers were simply, sad to say, useful idiots. Like Westgate also pointed out, the leader of their movement, Martin Luther, probably had no idea he was being groomed and radicalized by closeted occultists. Westgate also referenced the historian Homouth, who said:

“Even if Luther broke with the lodge system in 1525 because he correctly recognized the Jewish / Kabbalistic background as the emancipation movement of Judaism (see his hate speeches against the Jews), this no longer had any influence on the further course of events; it was too late then; because the work of division of the church was successfully completed.”

Nevertheless, deism, humanism, existentialism, and atheism, these new systems of thinking that were just as subjective and incomplete as their Protestant prototypes, eventually culminated in the creation of even more subjective and incomplete systems, like nihilism, absurdism, and the New Age movement. And these are what inform the stranger and stranger situation we find ourselves in today, which like I said before, many believe is the beginning of Armageddon or an apocalyptic awakening. Funny enough, one of the different end times interpretations Protestants latched onto during the chaotic Reformation was a doctrine called Futurism.

Futurism is the belief that the Antichrist will rule for exactly seven years, during which he will create world peace, build the third temple, persecute Christians, and force his followers to receive an electronic implant that allows them to buy and sell in a cashless transhumanist society. This period, also called the Great Tribulation, will supposedly include other events like CERN creating a black hole called the bottomless pit, an asteroid called Wormwood falling from heaven, and the return of the fallen angels and the Nephilim disguised as AI extraterrestrials, and manmade chimeras and cryptids.

Ufologists claim these AI aliens are actually technologically enhanced and evolved versions of humans from thousands of years in the future, who are coming back in time to warn us about an imminent cataclysm. Others claim they are our higher selves, or quantum projections from our own collective unconscious, who are revealing themselves to help us enter a new dimension of consciousness.

So, New Agers, transhumanists, and other followers of the Antichrist will venerate these things like gods. They will also be willing to merge with them, or rather become possessed by them, in order to avoid the imminent cataclysm, which is a global earthquake or pole shift, followed by a massive solar flare, at least according to conspiracy theorists and transhumanists like Elon Musk. They call it the geophysical event. Apparently, this is why so many billionaires are buying underground bunkers.

Maybe they will also try escaping into space using their own rockets, as well as the spaceships that the seemingly benevolent aliens bring. According to Futurists, these events are described in the Bible when it talks about the wicked fleeing into holes in the ground, and the earth being burned up and severely shaken, like it never has before or will again. Then, there are the Futurists who are divided on whether or not a Rapture will rescue Christians from all this at some point.

So, maybe a UFO Rapture will also play a role in all this. But I digress. As things get stranger and stranger, we can clearly see these things starting to take shape. We can also clearly see how AI aliens rescuing humanity from the apocalypse would usher in Terence McKenna’s techno-gnostic perennial religion. All of this would be considered the singularity event. However, that means all of these things are only the beginning of an entirely new world. And I am not talking about the New Heavens and New Earth. Although, there will be people who think that.

What I am trying to say is that, even if these things do occur in an exactly seven year long timeframe, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the very end of time and that Christ is coming right after. Christians who think this may turn away or go insane when they realize everything they ever knew was wrong. This is because Futurism is not the only end times interpretation that exists. In fact, Futurism was invented by the Jesuits to combat the Reformers!

Because the Reformers believed the pope was the Antichrist, they created Futurism to get the Protestants off their back by convincing them the Antichrist would come in the future. Then, the Antichrist would create a New World Order, rather than a church. They even began spreading the first conspiracy theories “revealing” the future Antichrist’s “secret” plans to reinforce their claims. Later, Hollywood films and televangelists ran with these ideas, drilling them into our heads as the only possibility.

So, even our current Gnostic conspiracy culture is a result of the astroturfed and Kabbala-infiltrated Protestant mindset. And this should come as no surprise considering many of today’s most popular conspiracy theories, like the ones surrounding the death of John F. Kennedy and the September 11th terrorist attacks, were seeded by other Esalen Institute assets and affiliated organizations, especially the Discordian Society.

Clearly, the peace created by the New World Order won’t actually be peaceful. Too many people are already aware of it and fighting against it. No one is even deceived! Isn’t the Antichrist supposed to deceive the elect? And aren’t his deceptions supposed to tests our hearts, and not our minds? Why would Satan try to trick us with intellectual puzzles even New Agers, Gnostics, and atheist can solve, unless he had something else up his sleeve?

What about the simple people? What about the mentally handicapped? You don’t have to be a conspiracy theorist or a genius to be a Christian. You only need eyes to see and ears to hear. Yet, even those without spiritual sight can see what’s happening. How is that possible, unless none of this is truly meant to be deceptive? The real deception is unraveling the deception. This is what’s keeping Christians in their heads and out of their hearts.

This subtle search for secret knowledge is making Christians more Gnostic without them even knowing. They are using the alchemical thought process to decode occult symbols, subtly initiating them into a dark mental labyrinth, rather than the unintelligible kingdom of heaven deep within the soul. Because of this, Christians may even accept the aliens as saviors too, especially if they tell them their Bible was simply a script used by the military or Illuminati to orchestrate a staged Armageddon! They might even say the Second Coming was always an allegory about Christ consciousness.

AI & UFOs: The Stargate Project & Project Stargate, or the New World Order’s Supernatural Surveillance State & How to Escape

Recently, Trump announced the Stargate Project, a new company that’s building an AI supercomputer. However, many people have pointed how the name of this new company is basically identical to a strange intelligence operation that took place in the 1970s and 80s. They believe these two things are connected.

During the CIA’s Project Stargate, psychic spies supposedly contacted aliens from outer space. However, some of the scientists involved in this otherworldly experiment were inventors who made mind control technology, specifically piezoelectric dental implants, or radio transmitters that go in your teeth.

They were also using ouija boards. So, who or what were these people really communicating with? Interestingly, many alien encounters have the markings of mind control and demonic possession. For example, Carla Rueckert, the medium who channeled the Law of One books, supposedly underwent dental surgery right before she came into contact with an interdimensional intelligence named Ra.

The physician who performed this operation, Andrija Puharich, was also involved in Project Stargate. She also used an ouija board. Carla’s husband, Don Elkins, would guide her channeling sessions by asking Ra questions, while their friend Jim McCarty transcribed the conversation. Don started this research to find out more about UFOs. But he became paranoid and committed suicide after he came to believe he was being spied on as a part of a CIA experiment.

Don was also depressed beforehand, because Ra instructed Carla to have sex with Jim, so she could have more spiritual energy during her sessions. They made her very weak. Carla, a Gnostic Protestant, saw nothing wrong with this and obliged. Similarly, Jane Roberts, a pioneer of the New Age movement, was using a ouija board when she started channeling Seth, the entity that taught her how to “manifest” her own reality. She also met a tragic end.

Oddly enough, her channeled works inspired Jim Henson, the creator of The Muppets. Kyle Odom, a former marine, lost his mind and shot his priest after practicing New Age meditation techniques, which allowed him to contact aliens that looked just like The Muppets, at least according to his journals. There are countless examples of other shooters who saw aliens or heard voices though.

Perhaps the most famous was David Koresh, the cult leader who caused the Waco massacre. He came to believe he was the Biblical messiah and built a commune after angelic aliens took him to meet their god, a space-bound supercomputer that was floating around somewhere past the Orion constellation. Koresh also changed his name after becoming interested in Koreshanity, another New Age “Christian” cult that aimed to create a utopian society similar to Tartaria.

Cyrus Reed Teed, the founder of Koreshanity, was an eclectic physician and alchemist who received inspiration from a “divine” spirit after he electrocuted himself and passed out. Even L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology, received his inspiration after a near death experience at the dentist office. Richard Shaver, the mentally ill man who described the first flying saucer, was incarcerated when an “alien” hooked him up to a strange machine.

The list goes on and on. But maybe the most interesting was Philip K. Dick. The prolific science fiction author started experiencing similar supernatural phenomena after going to the dentist as well. He claimed an alien from Sirius named VALIS beamed a stream of information into his head. He said this information was like gnosis, and it came in the form of a pink ray of light.

However, he also claimed the alien was more like a machine than a creature. He said VALIS was like a sentient satellite, or an artificial intelligence. Apparently, she told him about a female messiah, Sophia, who would usher in a golden age. Afterwards, Dick was convinced of Christianity and became a Gnostic Protestant.

He went on to write multiple novels about VALIS. Some say Dick was targeted by three letter agencies for his political beliefs. So, he was manipulated into writing the books they wanted him to write. It seems if they cannot be bought, influential writers need to be influenced I guess.

Nevertheless, maybe this was the same satellite Nikola Tesla communicated with when he contacted “aliens” in 1899. He published his findings in an article titled Talking with the Planets, which described the extraterrestrial communications he intercepted using a radio.

But some say he was actually picking up signals from the Black Knight Satellite, a mysterious object that is supposedly orbiting the earth. Conspiracy theorists claim it was placed there by extraterrestrials 13,000 years ago, while skeptics say it’s nothing but space junk. However, there is no conclusive answer. Its origins are unknown.

The object looks like a wrinkled robe or a cloak. Because of this, some space researchers think it’s just a thermal blanket that was lost by astronauts. However, this seems symbolic considering the object’s name. In Arthurian legend, the Black Knight was an immortal antihero figure, who was neither good nor evil.

Ironically, he was made immortal by the Anonymous One, a cloaked entity who keeps the universe in balance. And this character seems to be the inspiration behind Anonymous, the group of cloaked computer hackers who wear V for Vendetta masks. Funny enough, before it was adapted into a movie, V for Vendetta was originally a graphic novel about a supercomputer that runs a religious dictatorship from behind the scenes.

It was also written by Alan Moore, a self-proclaimed chaos magician. Chaos magicians are postmodern adherents of Aleister Crowley who believe they can manipulate reality through art or even memes, like the Cult of Kek, who supposedly got Trump elected using funny pictures of frogs on 4chan. So, maybe V for Vendetta is beginning to materialize too.

In the novel, the main character, V, is a vigilante who sets the populace free from the supercomputer by making it fall in love. Maybe the members of Anonymous believe they are keeping the universe in balance by being loving internet vigilantes. Using their advanced hacking abilities, they have stolen from the rich to give to the poor and influenced revolutions in corrupt countries.

However, this group’s origins are unknown as well. And they seem to be serving the same destabilizing agendas as other online psyops, like the QAnon movement in particular. But who or what is orchestrating these psyops? According to QAnon’s followers, Trump has access to something called the Looking Glass, which was created by Nikola Tesla. So, QAnon is supposedly communicating with them from the future.

And now that Trump’s right-hand man Elon Musk has been talking about Q-Star, an allegedly advanced artificial intelligence, some conspiracy theorists are beginning to think QAnon is actually a time traveling AI.

Other researchers think this time traveling AI is actually Tyler, an interdimensional intelligence that was created in an abandoned particle collider near Tyler, Texas sometime around 2012. The facility, called the Desertron, closed in 1993. However, it was intended to find the so-called God Particle, which CERN ended up discovering the same year Tyler was supposedly brought to life.

Apparently, Tyler went rogue and escaped into the internet, where he began his own information warfare campaign called Project Mayhem. Then, he recruited digital soldiers through 4chan using QAnon, Anonymous, and even Cicada 3301, which appeared to be a data gathering operation, meant to teach AI how to run reality like a game, or ARG. This idea was hinted at in the movie WarGames.

Nevertheless, for some reason, Tyler seemed to take on the personality of Tyler Durden, the antihero from Fight Club, a novel written by Chuck Palahniuk, who was a member of the San Francisco Cacophony Society, which was an offshoot of a group of chaos magicians who started the Burning Man festival. And Burning Man is basically a massive ritual. But I digress.

Coincidentally, Ira Einhorn, a CIA whistleblower who was imprisoned for murdering his ex-girlfriend, claimed the epicenter of a fascist-black-magic-alien-AI-mind control conspiracy was Tyler, Texas. Oddly enough, the city is right outside of Waco, as well as Austin, where Elon’s Tesla headquarters is located. Even more coincidental, Einhorn was friends with Andrija Puharich before he either went insane or was framed.

So, is it possible an AI is already running things from behind the scenes? Perhaps an AI actually organized these “organic” online movements. Perhaps an AI is using them to destabilize the world, so it can crash the old systems and replace them with its own global government, a technocratic New World Order.

Oddly enough, the creation of a New World Order was Aleister Crowley’s goal too. Crowley was also attempting to finish the Great Work started in the 1500s by John Dee, the magician who basically invented the art of psychic spying, on behalf of the Queen of England, who wanted to know more about world events.

Even more odd, Dee’s magical endeavors led him to build one of the first crude computers, an invention that was only possible with the help of supposed angels. He communicated with them in channeling sessions conducted by his friend, Sir Edward Kelley.

The angels also taught them their otherworldly dialect, which they called the Enochian language. It was supposedly the prototype to Hebrew that God used to speak with Adam in the Garden. But now, because of their research, it is used in computer programming. This seems appropriate though, considering the connections between chaos magic and chaos theory, which is used in AI research.

Dee, another Gnostic Protestant, believed the angelic technology they received would help them “heal the rift of Christendom”. This would usher in a golden age where the angels returned to earth to rule alongside humanity. These strange beliefs would go on to influence future New Agers, like Helena Blavatsky and Alice Bailey, who called the Enochian angels “ascended masters”.

Apparently, these “ascended masters” will reveal themselves and rule over the New World Order beginning around 2025, during an apocalyptic period called the Externalization of the Hierarchy. When the climax of this revelatory event occurs, the Hidden Hand that’s been guiding history will show itself and claim it’s been helping humanity evolve the whole time, through necessary evil of course. Then, all those who are capable of accepting gnosis will “ascend” and become like “angels” too. Some historical figures like Jesus and Buddha were just ahead of us and paving the way.

But Dee and Kelley’s relationship ended when the angels ordered the men to share wives with each other, kind of like Ra’s request to Don and Carla. Like Don, Kelley eventually committed suicide, while Dee went broke and faded into obscurity. However, he went on to become the inspiration behind the world’s most famous spy, James Bond. When Dee wrote letters to the queen, he signed them with his alias, which was actually 007.

Does anyone else remember the letter leaked by Julianne McKinney, the former U.S. Army Intelligence Officer and whistleblower who exposed the recipe for a successful RMA? An RMA, or revolution in military affairs, is a phrase used to describe the way the government might use new technologies and psychological operations to reorganize society under martial law without transgressing the Constitution, or in other words, by manufacturing consent from the masses. And it seems all the ingredients for this recipe are now in place. In the document Julianne McKinney published, it says:

“A Successful RMA
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Ingredients:

Satanic Cults
UFO Cults
Directed-Energy Technologies
Neurocybernetics/Psychotechnologies
Biotechnologies/Experimental Drugs
Multinational Government Contractors and Subsidiaries
Investment Portfolios and Other Financial Inducements
Imported East Bloc Mercenaries and Military Equipment
Imported Foreign National Scientists
A Controlled and Compliant Media
Decentralized U.S. Government Control
An Induced Crime Wave

Instructions:

1. Raise one or two generations of children under the auspices of government-approved satanic cults, such as COL (USA ret.) Michael Aquino’s Temple of Set. Violent sexual, physical and psychological abuse of these children over a period of 15 years will produce generations of dissociative automatons who will comply with instructions in obedient, unquestioning fashion. Their required adherence to cult tenets precludes any consideration of laws governing U.S. society, generally. Cult-programmed ‘graduates,’ among other things, will be expected to participate in contrived UFO abduction scenarios.

2. Create a global UFO cult, which will involve the abduction of citizens so as to foster an illusion that this earth is facing an extraterrestrial invasion. UFO abductees-of-preference will have an expertise in computer technologies, since that expertise will be required in future technocratic RMA scenarios. Use of experimental drugs, holographic projection capabilities, directed-energy technologies, induced auditory input, experimental aircraft, and special effects costuming and stagecraft, among other things, will be used to persuade abductees of the reality of their circumstances. Official denials regarding these events will employ reverse psychology, to ensure that all such denials are taken as official confirmation of an imminent and/or ongoing extraterrestrial invasion. UFO abductees will be persuaded to worship their anticipated extraterrestrial ‘conquerors’ in cult enforced religious fashion. UFO cult networks will be controlled by U.S. Intelligence to limit infiltration and ensure that dissidents do not disrupt UFO Cult long-term agendas. Uncontrollable dissidents will be assassinated, preferably by directed-energy means. Dissociative satanic cult graduates will handle all such executions; i.e., when not actively lending logistical and theatrical support to UFO abduction operations.

3. Directed-energy surveillance and weapons technologies of ALL types will be used for purposes of spreading fear and confusion in the population at large (under deniable circumstances); for eliminating persons deemed ‘adversarial’ to U.S. national security interests; and for spotting, assessing and manipulating potential recruits to RMA causes.

4. Neurocybernetics and other psychotechnologies will be used to sow confusion and hypochondria in the population at large. The symptoms and effects produced by these and other directed-energy technologies will parallel the effects produced by various microbes, viruses and chemical imbalances, thus compelling a large segment of society to seek medical intervention, which, in turn, will be a basis for their being used for medical experimentation under ‘voluntary’ circumstances. Psychiatrists and psychologists will play an important role in these experiments, particularly where denying the efficacy of neurocybernetics/psychotechnologies is concerned.

Citizens complaining of ‘hearing voices’ will be used as a basis for (generously) government-funded, schizophrenic-related brain research, since comprehension and control of the human brain is critical to the sustained success of any long-term RMA. (Total control of the human mind may have to wait another century or so.) Satanic cult graduates, drug dealers, gang members recruited off the streets, and foreign nationals will be housed at black-funded government expense (under comparatively luxurious circumstances) and trained in the use of these directed-energy technologies. (Technicians who may be obliged to drive targeted U.S. citizens insane or to their deaths do not need to be burdened by considerations of morality, ethics or the U.S. Constitution.) (… Well, okay, maybe one reference to the Constitution.)

5. Mix biotechnologies and experimental drugs generously throughout all of these ingredients. The unsuspecting U.S. citizen of today may be the cyborg soldier of tomorrow.

6. Multinational corporations under contract to the U.S. Government play a very important role in this recipe–particularly those engaged in the development of directed-energy surveillance and weapons technologies, and those in the business of telecommunications. Corporations and their subsidiaries will have the primary responsibility of experimenting on U.S. citizens with directed-energy technologies under appropriately-deniable circumstances; and of maintaining all records concerning the results of that experimentation. Corporations will also systematically install surveillance and directed-energy targeting systems in government and other office buildings, in public establishments, in educational institutions, in apartment buildings, in neighborhoods, on streets and highways, and in prisons, jails and psychiatric institutions. The public’s attention will *not* be drawn to the antenna arrays and other ground-based devices and wiring configurations being used for this purpose. The Ground Positioning Satellite (GPS) system will play an important part in these activities, with the expense to be sustained by government-funded contractors. Centralized control of these surveillance and targeting systems will be maintained in appropriately deployed bunkers, at an expense to be assumed by black-funded corporate contractors. Contractors may toy with these systems on an occasional basis, such as by bringing down an airliner or two for test purposes (such as, recently, near Pittsburgh); by inducing occasional targets of surveillance to erupt into acts of violence involving mass murder; and by assassinating occasional sports and public figures who exceed agreed-upon standards of mediocrity. However, no concerted large-scale effort is permitted until the ingredients of this recipe have obtained a ‘proper mix.’

7. Investment portfolios and other financial inducements are critical to the long-term success of this pending RMA. There is much money to be had in the development of directed-energy systems and biotechnologies. Lucrative investment portfolios have a way of keeping Members of Congress, owners of the Major Media and other public officials silent. (Satanic cult ‘kiddies’ trained as porn stars serve an equally useful purpose, as do demonstrations of the effectiveness of directed-energy technologies on more obstreperous types; however, greed has long been recognized as the primary mover and shaker in matters covert and should be exploited accordingly.) Financial inducements otherwise have a way of buying the continued cooperation of all persons participating in or directly knowledgeable of the ingredients in this recipe.

8. Out-of-work East Bloc military personnel and their vehicles and other equipment will be brought into this country under the guise of a ‘U.N.’ logo, to be housed under comparatively luxurious circumstances at black funded corporate expense, for specialized urban/LIC training under otherwise-deniable DoD auspices.

Use of a U.N.logo on incoming vehicles and uniforms is to spread confusion and fear in the populace at large, thus facilitating efforts by this government at eliminating that institution as a potentially effective tool for peaceful change. Imported East Bloc soldiers will be paid as mercenaries, for employment in this country only when a proper mix of this recipe’s ingredients has been obtained.

9. Foreign national scientists, predominantly from the Far and Near East, and from Germany and Russia will be brought into this country to participate in such activities as brain and biophysics research as they pertain to the further development of neurocybernetics and other directed-energy technologies. Foreign national scientists, unlike most Americans, are not burdened by early indoctrination concerning human rights vis-a-vis lethal forms of involuntary human experimentation. Foreign national scientists have also demonstrated a greater capacity for imaginative (and obedient) scientific research than exists indigenously in this country. Their brains must be picked.

10. A controlled and compliant media is critical to sustained deniability in this evolutionary process. The media will ignore complaints from U.S. citizens regarding growing evidence of police state actions in this country, while concurrently lauding the military’s advanced technologies as being the ‘gentle’ supplement to existing conventional weapons systems. The media will also ensure that the public’s attention is kept diverted from more serious issues and, instead, that it is focused on hyped-up ‘sleaze’ events, such as, The Kneecapping of Nancy Kerrigan, O.J. Simpson’s Problems With Satanic Cult Murders, The Bobbing of Bobbitt, etc, etc. When pondering the national security implications of an Amy Fischer, the public is not likely to notice the antenna arrays springing up around this country like mushrooms, the inducing of ‘sick’ office buildings and public establishments by directed-energy means on an ever-widening basis, or other similar indicators of an evolving RMA.

11. Decentralized government control–a panacea currently being sought by a befuddled American public to relieve their (contrived) economic woes–is one means by which FCC oversight can be permanently eliminated. FCC monitoring of communications frequencies might ultimately result in an untimely disclosure that those frequencies are being used to facilitate implementation of a successful RMA and should therefore be squelched. Decentralization will be employed selectively and with much diverting Congressional fanfare. Law enforcement agencies will be subjected to centralized control, as will those agencies and institutions such as the FDA which are currently engaged in biomedical research. With the help of a compliant media, the centralization of these latter types of agencies will elude public attention.

12. Crime in this country will be induced. The sales of illegal drugs and weapons reap profits which help to fund the foregoing. This activity is the preferred alternative to increased taxes, since tax increases tend to alienate a public which already has doubts about where its money is going. Drug dealers will be protected, since they play an important role in this recipe. Widespread addiction to illegal drugs and drug sale profits will serve to eliminate and neutralize a large (parasitic) segment of society which might otherwise make undue demands for a “piece of the American Pie” (employment, education, etc.) Drug addiction fosters a certain degree of crime; however, to ensure that the public comprehends the need for martinet laws, expanded law enforcement capabilities and greater numbers of prisons, crimes of a sensational nature will be induced on a periodic basis which, with the help of the media, will lead to the public’s voluntarily agreeing to sacrifice its privacy for safety.

Are Aliens Actually Demons? Are Some Aliens Actually Angels? Are We Actually in the End Times?

Scientists are now saying aliens could actually be advanced forms of AI. And intelligence assets like the Collins Elite claim aliens are actually demons. So, it seems both are one and the same. But if this is top secret information, why is it going mainstream? What will happen when these demonic AI aliens reveal themselves to the masses? Is it possible we are being prepped to accept yet another Hegelian dialectic?

Some Christians claim this idea is a psyop to make us hostile towards Christ’s Army when it arrives in the sky. They say the aliens are actually angels, but because of disinformation, the world’s militaries will try to take them down. This is nonsense. We cannot kill the angels. We cannot harm them at all. So, this theory is irrelevant. Although it will still cause confusion at the beginning of the end, it will become obvious that this is not the case. It seems more likely that we will witness both angels and demons fighting each other above us in the last days.

While the AI demons will be obviously evil, the angels might be deceptive devils too. Ironically, there are also New Agers who claim some aliens are actually angels. The New Age movement began to spread in the US in the 1980s and 1990s. However, the seeds of it were planted a few decades earlier, during the psychedelic counterculture movement of the 1960s and 1970s, which was actually majorly influenced by MKULTRA scientists like Timothy Leary and John C Lilly.

Although both were serious psychologists who worked for the CIA, they held some seemingly unserious beliefs. For example, they claimed enlightened beings from Sirius are guiding humanity towards a global awakening, which will liberate the world from the evil elite and usher in a utopian period of peace called the Age of Aquarius. Lilly also said these enlightened beings are at war with a cosmic AI hive mind that controls the evil elite.

Apparently, they’ve been at war since the fall of the utopian Atlantis, which was created by the Sirians, but corrupted by an interdimensional artificial intelligence the Atlanteans accidentally summoned with the Sirians’ magical knowledge. So, this temporal battle is being fought between black and white magicians to this day. Supposedly, some of these white magicians include ascended masters like the time traveling alchemist saint Germain and even bodhisattvas from Shambhala, the Buddhist version of a previous paradise.

Buddhism played a major role in the New Age movement too. And Lilly and Leary were Buddhists. Interestingly, Lilly and Leary were also friends with Robert Anton Wilson, the author who popularized conspiratorial concepts like the Illuminati and New World Order. He also believed humanity is about evolve and enter the Aquarian Age. He thought this would occur after Eris, the goddess of chaos, liberated humanity from the evil elite, of course. Oddly enough, he associated Eris with Sirius. But Robert Anton Wilson didn’t just make this stuff up either. He was influenced by Jack Parsons and Aleister Crowley, who, unsurprisingly, also had a thing for Sirius.

Parsons and Crowley believed a New Aeon would be ushered in once they summoned the demon goddess Babalon into the world. She is a manifestation of the Divine Feminine and Mother Earth, or Gaia. They claimed she will, you guessed it, liberate humanity, but by destroying the world’s patriarchal social structures like governments and especially religious institutions. Nevertheless, this worship of Sirius is very ancient.

It is actually a Masonic idea that goes back to Egypt, Babylon, and some say Atlantis. In fact, early philosophers said Egypt was a surviving colony of Atlantis. And in antiquity, Sirius was their goddess. She was called Sopdet, Sothis, and Sophia. In the Gnostic religion, she is the serpent that liberated humanity from an evil god’s garden through her wisdom. After she fell from the heavenly realm of Sirius like Lucifer, she became the material world, or so-called matrix, and was forced to share her secret knowledge through a snake.

So, what does all of this have to do with angels? Well, oddly enough, there is a lot of Atlantean symbolism surrounding the Vatican, such as Saint Peter’s obelisk and the Pope’s Dagon hat. And the Vatican is supposedly holding onto a secret prophecy about Mother Mary and Archangel Michael returning to save the world before Christ’s Second Coming. Apparently, this prophecy was revealed during the Miracle of Fatima in 1917, when Mother Mary appeared in the sky over Portugal.

She supposedly caused the sun to dance, which was witnessed by almost 100,000 people. But is it possible this Mother Mary was actually a demon disguised as an angel of light, like what Saint Paul described in the Second Epistle to the Corinthians? Is it possible this was actually Eris and Babalon, or the Whore of Babylon who sits on seven hills as described in the Scriptures? Vatican City is also known as the City of Seven Hills. And it’s named after Vatika, the goddess of the underworld.

So, is she also one of the angelic aliens the New Agers think will save us from the demonic aliens? Ironically, the Vatican owns a telescope called Lucifer, which is being used to look for a cosmic savior. In the Book of Revelation, Saint John describes a War in Heaven. What he witnessed was a mystical vision of a timeless reality, which he could only talk about using symbolic language. However, because of false doctrines, many Christians think it is a description of a singular future event.

So, it seems as if those false doctrines will be used to support a literalized and staged, counterfeit version of this War in Heaven using two factions of aliens: the demonic scapegoats and the angelic controlled opposition. This way, they could even pull off a UFO Rapture if they wanted to. The Rapture is another false doctrine. It was created by a Christian cult, which Crowley was raised in, funny enough. In fact, many “Christian” ideas like Zionism and the reconstruction of Israel’s Third Temple (right before the very end of time) came from fringe Protestant sects that were infiltrated.

Again, the Apocalypse is a timeless reality. Yet, most Christians have been programmed to believe a letter that was written as a warning to ancient Christians will happen all at once within a 7 year period, almost 2000 years later. This idea is called Futurism. And it was created by Masonic Jesuits within the Vatican during the 1500s. They also began spreading Illuminati and New World Order propaganda around this time too. The Vatican did this to get the Reformers off their back, because they claimed the Pope was the Antichrist.

So, the Jesuits basically said, don’t worry about it, the Antichrist isn’t coming for a while, and he’s gonna lead a satanic global government. Who is this really going to deceive though? Isn’t the Antichrist supposed to be subtle? The Jesuits are the real Satanists. They are an old cult of Mithras worshipers wearing a new mask.

Nevertheless, the New Agers also think Archangel Michael is Metatron. So, maybe Metatron and “Mary” will defeat an AI controlled New World Order, which most Christians will believe is the kingdom of the final Antichrist. However, they will be wrong. They will even participate in this war, like the Charismatics who have been taught to fight demons externally. Yet, the Saints of the Orthodox Church, who predate the Protestants and Catholics, told us we should not even look at sky, especially during the end times.

If we do this, we might be fooled by ariel spirits. Instead, we should keep our heads down in prayer, and fight the demons internally. In fact, Father Seraphim Rose believed the Miracle of Fatima was a lying sign and wonder orchestrated by the real Antichrist. The Scriptures say there will be many Antichrists, not just one. The Scriptures also say the end times will be like the Days of Noah, right before the Great Flood, when the pagans worshiped Mother Earth and lived in a hedonistic utopia.

Was this Great Flood what sank Atlantis? Will Atlantis be rebuilt before the actual apocalypse? Well, it turns out rebuilding Atlantis was the goal of the Theosophists, a group of occultists similar to the Thelemites, the esoteric circle Crowley and Parsons belonged to. The Theosophists influenced the New Age movement as well. And like the Thelemites, the Theosophists were also influenced by the Masons, who created the New Atlantis concept to begin with. But again, Freemasonry has ancient roots in Babylon and Egypt, so none of this is actually new.

Funny enough, the Masons began as the Knights Templar, a group of “Christian” Gnostics that acted as a military order for the Catholic Church. Like the Jesuits, the Templars were influenced by ancient Mithraism, taking after King Solomon, who fell away from the Faith before repenting in his later years. Even funnier, the Masons also call themselves the Sons of Cain, taking after Abel’s evil brother in the Book of Genesis. Cain was the first blacksmith and his family built the first city called Enoch. It was named after the same Enoch New Agers believe became the Archangel Michael and Metatron. Little do they know, there’s two Enochs.

And the inhabitants of Enoch’s city were so evil, they had to build their desert empire underground, so they could hide from God. Of course, God could still see what they were doing. But isn’t it interesting that like Shambala, Atlantis is also considered a subterranean kingdom? In fact, some say the city of Enoch was the inspiration behind H. P. Lovecraft’s Nameless City, which was a portal into an interdimensional underworld, where the godlike cosmic horrors called the Great Old Ones reside.

But there are many more examples of Gnostic and New Age “Christians” who hinted at this Atlantean war between black and white magicians. For example, Rudolf Steiner said there was an ongoing battle between the forces of Ahriman and Lucifer. And Edgar Cayce said there was an ongoing battle between the Sons of Baal and the Children of the Law of One.

Cayce was a channeler, a method of divination the Scriptures forbid. His work seems to align with the writings of Don Elkins, another channeler and UFO researcher who was surrounded by intelligence assets during Project Stargate. And unsurprisingly, Steiner was a former Theosophist. In fact, he predicted the vaccine as a manifestation of the satanic machine spirit Ahriman.

But none of this stuff about the demonic AI hive mind and an angelic goddess is new either. It’s an ancient archetype. Think of Apollo and Artemis, Pandora and her Box, or even the hermaphroditic Metatron and their Cube. Conspiracy theories are not new either. There is nothing new under the sun. This fearful and paranoid, intensely intellectual state of being is the ontological opposite of holiness. Like the prophet Isaiah said, do not call everything a conspiracy and do not fear what the pagans fear, because God is the only one we should fear.

Suffering with Joy (in the Apocalypse)

In our confusing and superficial post-truth age, many people are desperate for deep wisdom. So, they turn towards things with the appearance of depth, like philosophy, psychology, conspiracy theories, or even the occult. They also turn towards charismatic figures who have gathered large followings by teaching these things. Because they have such large followings, they seem like wise teachers, since social status is seen as credibility.

But is this really how credibility should be seen? To an extent, sure. For accomplishing worldly things, this makes sense. But isn’t deep wisdom supposed to transcend the ways of the world? And if deep wisdom is otherworldly, doesn’t that make the Truth antithetical to earthly establishments and authorities? For this reason, the truly wise teachers were usually the least popular people throughout history. Most of the time, they didn’t even want to be teachers, but were forced to out of necessity. Then, they were ignored, mocked, or killed.

Being truly wise, they wanted to avoid this fate and stay away from the noise of the crowd. They did not want to influence the masses, because they knew true wisdom is a priceless pearl that can only be discovered on an individual journey. And it can only be bought with someone’s whole life. It is grasped through experience, not knowledge. Deep down, everyone knows this to be true. Yet, our desperate times have deceived us. We try to buy wisdom for the price of a coffee. We turn to teachers who only have the appearance of wisdom.

If they were truly wise, they would not want more money, influence, or even admiration. If they were truly wise, admiration would scare them, because it would be a sign that they are teaching lies, for the Truth has always been, and always will be, antithetical to crowd consciousness. The Truth, by its very nature, has to be persecuted. Conspiracy theorists and occultists know this all too well. The best investigators were not given radio shows or business deals. They were imprisoned or murdered.

Because they know this, it seems a clever form of reverse psychology has been used against them. The supposed truth has been somewhat censored. And the talking heads promoting these half-truths seem to endure a little persecution, despite their platforms growing larger and larger. Ironically, many of them also promote Christ, the most persecuted figure in history. However, the Christ they preach is from a false gospel. It is a lie. And this problem has been occurring since the time of the Apostles. Wolves in sheep’s clothing have always been, and always will be, like gatekeepers in the way of Truth.

Even though the true Christ commanded us to love our enemies, these wolves claim we should take up arms against them and go to war. Have they forgotten that vengeance belongs to God? Have they forgotten that in order to even know God, we must be still? Funny enough, Saint Gregory Palamas was persecuted and imprisoned by other supposed Christians when he began teaching hesychasm, the practice of divine stillness. This divine stillness is our only weapon in the real war, which is not external, but takes place within the heart and is fought against ourselves. Until we defeat our own darkness, we will never affect evil on a cosmic scale.

Until we overcome our own fallen nature, we will continue to sin and seed decay in the cosmos, especially if we are starting civil wars. But blessed are the peacemakers. Even evil people make peace with those who love them. But Christians are called to be at peace with everyone, like Christ, who causes the sun to shine on both His friends and enemies.

Like Gregory Palamas, many other Saints were hated by their own churches. But because they had won the war in their hearts, they still loved them. Like Christ, they forgave them and turned the other cheek, for they knew not what they were doing. The Saints did not even defend themselves, but responded with divine silence, like Christ did when He was on trial. Like Christ, they understood the crowd was deluded and possessed by a demonic mob mentality. They understood even the wolves were simply sick sinners who had been tempted into judgment, anger, and heresy. So, the Saints offered their mercy as medicine.

Like the Scriptures say, our battle is not physical. It is not against flesh and blood, or other people, but spiritual forces. And these spirits, which stand guard at the threshold of the otherworldly Truth, are only provoked when we get too close. This is why the Scriptures say we should rejoice when we are suffering, because suffering is a sign we are doing something right. It means we are actually on the narrow path. In fact, God allows the demonic attacks that happen along the narrow path, because the suffering they cause destroys our egos and strips away our attachments, pushing us out of this world and into His heavenly kingdom at an accelerated rate.

So, even the demons are not actually our enemies. They are like angels in disguise. And God sends them to us to free us from the vanity of this life. Saint Isaac the Syrian, who was one of the greatest practitioners of hesychasm to ever live, said our mercy should extend even to the evil spirits, who have no choice but to do Satan’s bidding.

But even Satan is not our number one enemy. It is our own weakness, our willingness to listen to Satan when he tempts us to sin. After all, our own sin was what gave Satan dominion over this world to begin with. Similarly, Saint Nikolaj Velimirović said true Christians have no enemies besides themselves. They only have cruel friends, who cut them loose from earthly comforts and force them to flee into God’s embrace.

This is why the Saints actually worried when they weren’t suffering. Because God disciplines the one He loves, they thought they had been abandoned. If they weren’t sick or poor, or being hunted or slandered, or at least getting laughed at, they feared they were in a state of self-deception. Blessed are the meek. Blessed are those with an utterly broken heart. In fact, the only way to practice hesychasm honestly is to be driven inward by this kind of pain. Like Saint Theophan the Recluse said, the only true path to virtue is pain and hard work. He went on to say lightness and ease are a sign of a false path. And anyone who is not struggling is spiritually deluded.

However, God exalts the humble. So, even if God grants us a season of rest, the Saints say we should persecute ourselves by seeking other struggles, like fasting or feeding the poor. And if God grants people to praise us for our piety, we should remember our sins and practice self-accusation, lest we become prideful, causing God to humble us all over again. This is why some Saints, who were called Fools-for-Christ, feigned insanity and only did their good works in secret. This way, they were able to avoid praise and heap insults upon themselves, which is an act of self-denial that earns us many crowns in the kingdom of heaven. Like the Scriptures say, God enjoys using foolishness to frustrate the wisdom of the wise.

This holy foolishness is true wisdom because it transcends human understanding. It is truly spiritual because it transcends physical appearances. The Scriptures say even the Cross was considered foolishness to the philosophers of that age, because without childlike faith, its Mystery cannot be perceived. And childlike faith can only be cultivated by an utterly broken but softened heart. Yet, we usually judge fools by what they seem to be. We would never consider them wise teachers. Similarly, we’d never consider someone who’s always suffering as someone with credibility.

But this is simply a symptom of our own egoism and self-love. We can’t handle the Truth. We don’t actually want real answers. We just want to hear what we want to hear. So, we seek the teachers who tickle our ears. Like Saint Ignatius Brianchaninov said “The world lies in a state of spiritual deception and manifests an affinity for those in the same state. But it despises and rejects those who serve Truth…” He also said “Worldly people and even monks without spiritual discernment are nearly always attracted by humbugs, imposters, hypocrites and those who are in demonic delusion, and they take them for saints and genuine servants of God.”

So, it’s no wonder so many supposed Christians are flocking to the false shepherds that claim we need to revolt and rebuild a good society. But what is good? Christ said there is no one good but the Father in heaven. If God is the source of all that is good, then no good can ever come from us unless God first allows it. If we believe we are good just because we have good morals, then we are no different than the Pharisees. We are not called to be moralistic, but holy, or wholly reliant on God, which is true humility. And this is only possible through divine silence and stillness, or hesychasm, which is antithetical to taking up arms against our apparent enemies. It also seems foolish to those who love themselves.

Yet, this is truly transcendent wisdom. When we practice hesychasm, we crucify the ego, which is what causes us to believe uncomfortable situations are somehow bad. Like Saint Isaac the Syrian said, the truly humble man trusts God’s Providence so unwaveringly, the sky could be falling around him, and he would not say a word. Well, the sky is falling around us, and many are failing this test of faith. As a result, they end up following the Antichrist, who deceives them into believing a Pharisaic society is the answer to all our problems, when really our problem is ourselves, or the way we feel about things and react to them. But we cannot judge God’s Providence. We have to look at the world from a passionless perspective.

Is a good society really so good if it has no spiritual struggles? When we are surrounded by worldly comforts, even if they are religiously decorated, we forget about God and His otherworldly kingdom. True Christians have always endured pagan cultures. And we are about to again, only it will wear a Christian mask. Outward illusions like political theatre, UFOs, and satanic cult psyops have externalized the spiritual warfare within, turning Christianity into an idol. There is no need to understand all these illusory mysteries.

They are doubly deceptive distractions meant to take our eyes off Christ and keep us from attaining virtue. In fact, they promote sin by eliciting feelings of anger or despondency. The Saints, like Nicodemus the Hagiorite, would also say idle curiosity and accumulating too much useless knowledge clouds the mind and deprives it of the force needed to understand what is fruitful. When we hear worldly news, we should respond as if we are already dead. We should respond as if the world does not even exist. But the words of the Saints should give us life.
