"Time is a Limiter. Nothing can Limit The Real. The Real is God. We Don’t Know What It Is, but We Do Know It Is There."

God Poet Transmitting.......


There are so many subjects we could cover. Most of them are in a state of transition and won’t be the same next time we look at them. All of them are expressions of forces in motion behind the curtain of appearances. They are temporary bubbles that appear in the ocean’s foam. This is why I study Trends and Patterns because Trends are sequences in the passage of temporary objects and conditions. They give an indication of where things came from and where they are headed. Patterns have to do with the shapes taken by the currents/trends in ceaseless motion upon the surface of life.


The Real exists outside of the realm of endless change. It also exists outside of Time. Time is a limiter and nothing can limit The Real. The Real is God. We don’t know what it is, but we do know it is there.


Prior to the awakening of my kundalini, I was told that God is a serpent. This, I believe, has to do with the manner... in which The God Force moves... being like the way a serpent moves. It also has to do with The Godhead. As the kundalini moves from its base location in The Kunda... at the bottom of the spine, it passes through the various worlds of The Etheric State... The Emotional Body... The Mental Body and then to The Soul where the CONSCIOUS reunion of Spirit and Soul occurs, and... at which point... God looks at himself in the mirror.


We are that medium in which God discovers himself. The whole of life is a game of hide and seek, with The World getting in the way and providing places of concealment. There is an old reference concerning the mechanisms of temptation being threefold, as in The World, The Flesh, and The Devil. I suppose these are the counterparts to Father, Son, and Holy Mother. I wish to acknowledge The Divine Feminine so... that is where she goes, I think.


Regardless of all the many ways we can look at Existence, it really all comes down to Formless and Form. There is what you can see and... what your mind makes of it... through the identifying labels placed on any thing or condition. Then there is what you cannot see, but which is the source of all you can see. This seems to indicate that The Mind is The Creator. Further extrapolation would show us as either competent or incompetent creators. One could say, good or bad, or... accurate and inaccurate... on target or off-the-wall.


Sometimes, I start with a concept or an idea and I reduce it back to the essential. Sometimes, I will expand a concept or idea into ramifications and results. Very often... considering options in your mind... BEFORE acting on the immediate impulse... will save you a great deal of time and trouble... that is caused by creating something you didn’t want in the first place.


I guess, with all this ruminating, I am suggesting that we are God... in a sense, but just not very good at it. When one is clumsy and ill-informed, the result of our efforts tends to show that we are clumsy and ill-informed. It’s the difference between an artist and a poseur.


What I am really trying to say is that there is no reason to play God, which is what far too many ambitious souls wind up doing, if God is already there. If God is not there then there is no real point to this conversation, BUT... since God IS there, what are we supposed to do? My thought about the matter is, we are supposed to get out of the way. That’s what it all comes down to. Everyone is engaged in one or the other of two forms of activity, getting in the way of God and hindering God’s ability to express or... getting out of God’s way and permitting God to express. Life and experience are supposed to bring us to an understanding of this. That doesn’t always happen, according to what I can see if I look around me.


It’s got to be simple. Ultimately, it has got to be simple because The Last Great Avatar said that you must become as a little child. So... the more complicated anyone makes it, that’s how far off course they are. It makes me think of Gurdjieff and his Fourth Way system. Gurdjieff SEEMS to be something of a trickster. It’s been said that he needlessly complicated his work to mess with Ouspensky’s head. Now, I wouldn’t say this if I didn’t have some amount of provenance for the statement. I’ve heard that he drank many cups of coffee every day with a shot of whiskey in each one, BUT... (as far as I know) I wasn’t there. The same is said of Blavatsky. It’s just stuff I’ve heard.


I am a lifelong (and certainly more than that) student of Occult History, AND... I have heard and read some curious things to be sure. I have this tendency (most of the time) when I hear something odd... to look more deeply into it. It is amazing what a greater degree of depth will give you in terms of explaining who certain people were and why they did what they did.


If you go to school you might hear about Hypatia of Alexandria, followed by some brief assessment of her details. If... on your own... you look deeper, she turns out to have been a lot more than what the cursory commentary indicates. The same would apply to Apollonius of Tyana, who... it has been said... was the model for the life of Jesus Christ. This world has had some wonderful characters come and go here, as well as many strange and mysterious events, that might not continue to be strange and mysterious events if you follow the breadcrumbs.


It’s said that when the Library of Alexandria was burned down, most of the records of the preceding cultures and religions were lost. One school of thought attributes the fire to Julius Caesar setting the ships in the harbor on fire during a civil war.




I’m not a fan of that argument. Caesar never mentions it, BUT the biographers attribute that to his vanity and concerns about his legacy. You can be sure that the jealous new religions, were intent on stealing older ideas, as they established the mythos for their invented creeds. We ARE the new and original, and... nothing like us has ever been here before! So it goes. So... it... goes.


Anyway... one source says that all the important writings and records were spirited away by The Brotherhood, previous to any of the fires... because they always know what is happening before it happens. When I say, The Brotherhood, I am referring to those keepers of Ageless Wisdom who were and are the real brotherhood behind all of the temporary associations that have come and gone. They are around when these temporary organizations are formed, and they leave well before any of them get co-opted by The Usual Suspects or anyone like them.


At the beginning of every age, and at points along the way, groups are formed to shepherd cultures and nations for The Purpose of Demonstration. Here’s a curious thought, we never seem to run out of idiots. Indeed... at times there appears to be a bumper crop of them. Yet... you would think they would have a short shelf life, and that their survival prospects... at no time... are ever very good, and yet... once again, we are up to our eyebrows in idiots. Where did they come from?


It seems that the people most in danger at any time are the custodians of Ageless Wisdom, and that includes all the pretenders to the throne as well. Things often do not go well for those who serve the rest of us and work for The Greater Good, or even those who pretend to be doing so. It’s open season on them at any time of the year. It’s a good argument for why they make themselves so hard to find. If you head off in search of them, as I did, you will see what I mean.


I guess what I am trying to say is that they see you coming well before the time it occurred to you to go looking for them. I can speak directly to this being true. It’s going to get rather dicey in the coming times, and I just want to reassure you that The Universe (of which we are a fragment of a fragment of a fragment) is in good hands. To the degree that you allow yourself to trust this to be true, to that degree... you will get a commensurate response. If it’s all action and reaction anyway, why not arrange for the reactions you prefer?


Materialism does not only create a perfect environment for Atheism... Satanism... and Insanity. It also nurtures Ignorance like they were born to celebrate each other. It may be an explanation for all the idiots. What a conundrum is created when you try to find the connection between the pursuit of comfort and exponential ignorance. It is a large section of the world’s population that seems clueless about what their best interests are. I close my eyes and I see endless ranks of lemmings marching off of literal cliffs.


I know an awakening is upon us, BUT... it’s going to have to become a great deal more powerful than it is, and I suppose The Divine has factored that into the equation. Whatever it is that is coming, it is going to be a huge surprise to most. I find it illogical that an avatar would be interested in saving the rank-and-file Muslims... Christians and Hindus that I see following the strange interpretations they have given to once-illumined traditions. If I didn't mention certain traditions it is because they are not behaving badly (in one case) or they are followers of The Burning Darkness.


It sure looks like a big wake-up call is coming. Time and distance from The Spindle have got to have something to do with what happens on The Rim. I don’t want to see a lot of people perish, BUT they seem determined to make or... allow it to happen, and...



...one last thing.

"The World at Present is a Poppy Field... of Scheming Dreamers... in a Skirmish of Appetites... Looking for a Place to Feed."

God Poet Transmitting.......


The kill the white man trend on social media, and the holy war scenario, are both being whipped up by The Usual Suspects. These are appearances that the deceivers need you to buy into because the misplaced faith of the deceived is what powers their engines of deception. However, that is not power. It is the appearance of power, and when The One shows up... appearances and the ones generating the false appearances are put to flight. It is then that the sleepers are awakened.


The World... at present... is a poppy field of scheming dreamers in a skirmish of appetites looking for a place to feed. They came here to be entertained. This is some of their entertainment.




Everything at a distance is considered entertainment or... something to talk about before The Playoffs come around. Once it gets close up, it starts to look like real life, and... when it gets in their faces... they call it real life.


If you go to social media, you will see the dusky neo-liberals calling for the extermination of the white race because the slavemasters are yanking their chains. The slavemasters hold the whip-hand over what they think and say and do. They are the same demographic that brought the slaves here in the first place. I think of them as The Corrupters, because... wherever you see depravity and perversion or inhumane practices, they are not far off, and are often the ones charging you admission to see it. That’s what media is and why they own it. It is the pay-as-you-go distraction machine that takes your mind off of the eidolons they harass your apprehensive nature with.


We’re all treated like chickens dancing on a hotplate that is heating up below the level of the general perception. You see a dancing chicken and you think it’s funny. You don’t know what it costs the chicken to be doing it. The hotplate... in our case... is the economic climate that they are always geoengineering to our distress. They have to give you some good weather because... the promise of its return makes the bad weather easier to endure. The whole carnival of uncertainty is operating on your hopes and fears.


Imagine that you are in a pool, Every now and then you see shark fins circling your location. There is an invisible barrier that keeps the shark at bay and that is why it circles. It knows you are there but it can’t get to you. You don’t know that. It’s the fear of something that is not real, based on the false appearance of something that is real... at least in your mind. It’s all happening in your mind, which is why I advise you to keep your mind empty.


The psychopathic crew are the ones who stock the shelves inside your head so you live in The Department Store of Feast or Famine. You don’t have to let them into your head, but people do because... they are appetite-driven. People like having sugar plums dancing in their heads. Sugar plums hold no attraction for me. I don’t even know what they are., BUT... if you make something bright and shiny with lots of colors, the infantile mind reaches for it; I wants it!!!


That’s The World, basically. I should mention that a lot of the landscape is mined and... there are oubliettes, tripwires, and... the certainty that somewhere... at any time of day or night... death is raining from the skies. There’s not much difference between television and real life these days, even if real life is not what it cracks up to be, given that it is not real whatsoever.


Out in what I call, the backyard, one goose is pursuing the other because this is mating season. It’s a natural process. I suppose there are seasonal periods for humanity as well, but they are no longer natural. In Maryland... I gather... from the little I wanted to give of my attention... it seems that there was a time until a few years ago when you could opt out of having your KINDERGARTEN and ELEMENTARY school children get educated about the sexual behavior of the sexually dysfunctional. They changed that and now it is mandatory.


It has to do with curriculum and it has to do with books in the library, and classrooms that have to do with what two men... who are sexually attracted to each other... get up to, in... brutal... detail. A coalition of parents have taken this all the way to The Supreme Court because; get this... the lower courts ruled in favor of perversity.


Of course, you and I know that children are impressionable. Children are the very image of impressionability. The Dark Side knows this and they are trying to program children to experiment with each other; try it! You’ll like it! Look!!! Mikey likes it! Yeah... how did it ever get this way?


Well, that demographic I mentioned has a Marxist agenda that they are pushing non-stop and this is one of the aspects of the conditioning. Their promotion of these behaviors... back in The Weimar Republic of Germany... eventually led to a world war. There is always a war going on between those who subscribe to a moral code, and those who are opposed to morality as a hindrance to their darker pleasures. Eventually... if the possessed libertines win... the culture becomes diseased and it dies.


Here is another interesting thing. When Bill Clinton and Bwak! Obama were president, they deported millions of illegal immigrants and no one said anything. Now... anytime the present administration tries to do the same, and on a smaller scale; heah come de judge! Heah come de Judge!!!


It is important that you do not feed your socio-political perspective with screen capture moments because... life is not static or stationary. Life is moving, and when change shows up at the door of entrenched interests, conflict ensues. In this world, we live to fight another day or we give up without a fight, and... there are plausible arguments for both sides, depending on how you justify your position, and whether your position is fixed or temporary. It ALWAYS comes down to timing. Sometimes corruption has its way, and sometimes The Other Side wins BECAUSE... EVERYTHING is for The Purpose of Demonstration.


The currents of life did not signal a change of course last November by accident. The whole country wants an end to the perverted nonsense and criminal behavior of certain elements... who line their pockets... while pretending they are acting in the public interest.


Meanwhile... all the assaults on Teslas and Tesla dealerships... the judge-shopping... the howling and sneering from the losing side... has all been financed and set into motion by the people who pull the strings, and who maintain the adversarial climate between races... colors, and religions.


People have been rendered insensate and stupid by the proximity of every kind of sensory attraction and the conveniences of modern life. The brutish animal nature is being fed and watered by vested parties who profit from the effort.


However... when conditions become untenable, and when The Spirit of God begins to trouble the waters, The Hive Mind, and The Common Heart, set off a chain reaction far and wide. Then change is inevitable because... the heart and mind are two aspects of the same thing, which THEY also try to divide against itself at every opportunity. The whole world of appearances is designed to see what you are made of, and the closer you come to a state of balance, the less the ground will tremble beneath your feet. The more out-of-wack you get; be that mentally... emotionally... sexually... politically... socially... yadda yadda, the more the ground will tremble beneath your feet, AND... you have doomed yourself in any case.


I know there is this compelling question as to whether one should... do something! That again depends on whether you are in or out of balance. Balance is the key because Harmony ensues from Balance. Every legitimate science has a higher and a lower version that deals with what you can see and what you cannot see, and every physical sense has a higher sense that sits atop it, which greatly extends the reach of your perception. There is a vast distance between tunnel vision and panorama view. The level of your awareness affects your capacities for reason, judgment, and discrimination.


Right now, if you could see it, you would see massive ranks of humanity moving along 3 wide thoroughfares... which are in appearance much like a superhighway. One of them runs downward into a darkness that your eyes cannot penetrate to any great depth. Another runs upward toward a light that increases in brightness as you continue on that course. The other one runs in a wide loop that returns on itself. There is a law that holds true on that loop, and that law says that whenever you complete a round you automatically forget everything you passed through previously. There are laws for the other two roads as well, but we will have to get to those at a later date because we are about to exceed our daily word count.


Of course, we could keep on going, BUT... tomorrow (or in this case, Monday) is another day and everything is connected. India and Pakistan are saber-rattling because the international bankers want them to. Various culture wars are heating up in The West, and, the case is... that anything can happen at any time. It will happen where specific people have gathered to see it happen, and it won’t happen in a lot of other places; how it goes, and...



...one last thing.

"Deep in The Long Night of Material Slumber, There is No Light, but The False Lights and The Gaslights of The World."

God Poet Transmitting.......


They’ll make a big deal now about what a swell fellow the departed Pope was.




However, he was simply a court jester for The Deep State and if you can know a person by their works, as a very wise avatar once said, then this is pretty much all you need...




...although I can come up with an aircraft carrier worth of documentation and assorted memorabilia about the guy, BUT... why bother?


We are advised not to speak ill of the dead, BUT no one dies in any permanent sense... except by special circumstances... which we don’t need to get into just now. Yet another Deep Stater, Schwab... stepped away from the podium to write his memoirs... perhaps... and that is sure to be a gruesome read, if any truth actually found its way into print, which... is unlikely.


Still, The Popester was a real peach!




He leaves an interesting legacy...




AND... I could do this all day.





In this life you get your run of the mill shit sandwiches, and then you get your dee-luxe shit sandwich with all the trimmings, but... everyone is supposed to quietly tiptoe through the belladonna, cause all the big leaguers are in on the con, and they expect you to show respect. Well, I have no respect for those who use their position and the power that comes with it to deceive humanity, by... any means necessary.


Who owns and operates The Federal Reserve? Who receives the interest on the national debt? Who manipulates this material power to shape The World in demonic fashion? Connect the dots. Knowledge is power!


Humanity is waking up, and... in many cases... you can no longer piss in their ear and make them think it’s rain. Something is happening in The Hive Mind these days, and it is causing the previously clueless to all-of-a-sudden know things they didn’t know before. It is The Avatar sweeping across The Mental Plane, and driving the flotsam and jetsam out through The Cosmic Cloaca Valve because shit sandwiches are no longer on the menu.


The people who refuse to wake up are being driven mad, and mad trends toward dysfunctional, and dysfunctional trends toward The Rim, and... gone. It is all happening automatically. One day... you wake up to find that you actually woke up, and things just aren’t the same anymore. You can’t hide the truth from yourself anymore because... some mysterious force removed the blocking mechanisms while you were sleeping.


Deep in the long night of material slumber, there is no light but the false lights and the gaslights of The World. The radiance of the approaching avatar shines above the general perception range of The Sleeping Class, BUT... the energy and force of it, is bringing changes of momentous impact, even if the cause is not registering. Irrevocable change is coming, and resistance is futile. It matters not if the whole world opposes it, and the whole world does not oppose it. Most of the souls... in residence for the occasion... are in sympathy with that which intends to bring an end to the reign of darkness that has afflicted humanity for such a length of time.


A warrior class is being born for the great conflict to come. It is a war of cultures and religions... as the various levels of possession strive for supremacy... atop the dunghill of this departing age. They will eliminate each other. They have no place in The World to come. They will pass on to those places appointed for the working out of their wars within.


I can see it so clearly up ahead, as the portals open into a brighter landscape of laughter in a time without fear and want. The Old Principles of fellowship... brotherhood and love will find their way into the governing agencies of coming days. The agencies will more clearly reflect the will of The Divine Hierarchy, which will be a template for the way things are meant to be done in the new age.


The demonic intelligences that were lodged in The Lower Mind are being driven back into the depths. Sanity is coming. Balance is returning, and the angelic forces will no longer be hindered and blocked in their efforts to inspire the human mind. Great art is in the offing. A remarkable world is being born. The desecrations of the brutal and perverted past, are being disappeared by the hands of unseen angels... under the command of Divine Will.


Always, as it has always been, the evil is driven into full bloom before the eyes of The World, where it shall be made powerless and then fade away. It will not be seen again for a very long time. It takes a long time for conditions to manifest into what they are. When The Way is lost... the fall of righteousness moves in slow and incremental stages toward a dystopia that never comes into any lasting fullness. The diseases that are bred from the journey, eventually consumes all the travelers who bent before it. Just as it seemed that all would be lost in a global conflagration... salvation descends into human form and the healing of the nations begins.


The outer trappings of anything religious or governmental, must be anchored to The Real or it is chaff in the wind. It is a mockery, an offense, and an abuse against common sense if it is not flooded with the spirit and principles that are enduring. Anyone possessing of true Reason will be able to see that the true visible entity reflects that which is contained in a cloud of unknowing. In other words, you do not need to comprehend the ineffable mystery. If it is built from the real, you can know it to be so without knowing how or why. True religion and true government both rise from the same divine wellspring!


What we had is being transformed into what we have no longer.




Those who see Sex as the highest state of life expression are the ones perverting our understanding of it, for the profit to be found in the confusion. They are The Usual Suspects and their hench-demons. When clear and true vision is obscured all you see are phantasms. Then, renewing The Mind is critical. Otherwise conditions are terminal.


Here again we see proof of divinity without having to see it directly. From whence comes the vitality of spiritual renewal? How do things suddenly begin to go right without any discernible cause? What is it that protects some and gives the rest over to their coveted degeneracy? Something is at work here and we do not have to see to believe. There is something in the heart... whose presence triggers faith and... The Will to go on. How do our heroes survive their trials and confinements? Who opens the prison gates?


By what power are certain men and women made more than human? We have ample records of this. Something there is that moves... mysterious and unseen... through human affairs and sets them aright. How is it that common and simple souls suddenly become the greater influences of their time? Men like Jacob Boehme, William Blake, and Rudolf Steiner. There IS something more to life, and just because it does not call attention to itself and dance to your detriment does not mean it is not ever present. It is The Other Guy who does that.


There is a new age arriving now, and... as is ever the case... it is going to turn the old world upside down. If you are serving it or clinging to it, it will turn you upside down as well.


In every age there suddenly appear the harbingers and heralds... the teachers and wayshowers... the inspired geniuses of the arts, and most especially, the prophets and avatars; the greater and lesser expressions of the same. Somehow they appear and galvanize The World. Presently, we are afflicted by depraved exhibitionists and talentless morons, because The Dark Side wishes to elevate mediocrity and perversity as normal courses. DEI is an example of elevating the second-rate and uninspired to leadership positions, KNOWING that they will steer the ship upon the rocks.


It matters not. Let them do their worst. They will not prevail. They will not even be remembered except in The Punishment Zones. If we afflict others, we afflict ourselves. It is absolute truth that whatever we do to another, we are doing to ourselves. Eventually, the weight of our self-abuse draws us down into darker worlds where we are surrounded by others like ourselves. It NEVER has to get the way it gets. Some people insist on it. Many of them believe that no one will stop them. Well, it is also true that they will stop themselves because some roads lead nowhere good, and...



...one last thing.

"When They Are in Their Milieu, They don’t Notice This because All of The Mirrors Are Reflecting The Same Hallucinations."

God Poet Transmitting.......


The Earth is a living being. It breathes, as do we. It is possible to come into resonance with The Earth by breathing in concert with it. The same is true of Heaven(s)... The Sun, Moon, and planets. Resonance is always accomplished through The Attractive Force. You bring your mind and emotions (two aspects of the same thing)... into tune with anything and you can tap The Wisdom Pool of that entity. Tantra is all about this sort of thing, and one of the features of Tantra... which makes it the most difficult of all yogas, is the mastering of the different breaths, which have their own color... length and vibratory signature, which you might also call their rate of frequency.


I’m using broad strokes and leaving out most of The Details because that sort of thing just confuses the issue, and I don’t know most of The Details anyway. What I have is an intuitive understanding of the matter, and that is generally what I have in respect of anything. I am told what I need to know... when I need to know it, and often I no longer know it once the moment of need has passed. Tantra is about Unity. It is a progression of relative unities toward The Great Unity, and all of the seven yogas that apply to The Seven Rays, accomplish this in the manner most suitable to the ray they are designed for.


You come into harmony with your native color, and once you have achieved this, you can pass back through the spectrum into The Pure White Light. It’s steps. It’s stairs, rungs... landings... levels, and stages. The speed of progression is set according to the degree of aspiration... which does not accidentally sound like, and rhyme with respiration and inspiration. Everything is connected, AND... if you are not connected to the extent that resonance happens, you only know what you know from The Outside, and that is not much. It puts you in the same category as the blind men groping the elephant.


The experts and pundits in this world are among life’s most clueless and misguided people, BUT... when they are in their milieu, they don’t notice this because all of the mirrors there are reflecting the same hallucinations. It’s the same with any school of fish, where they all like the same food, and are also food for other fish. The World is always consuming itself, through all the temporary forms that create the myriad of dancers, swimmers, and slot cars. In the world of mortality every creature is imprisoned by its nature. This is why Impersonality is one of the great secrets of Forever Land. (drum roll).


Most of the lunatic fringe of the Tantra dilettantayz plying their trade seem to come from Germany, BUT... Europe’s well represented in several countries. You probably haven’t run into many of these because they are not in the main thoroughfares. For some reason they all seem to wind up in the Hawaiian Islands, and occasionally anywhere in the other Pacific getaway lands. You see their posters advertising seminars where you can be initiated into the mysteries of Tantra.


It’s all about sex and having more sex, and if dipshits buy into your spiel, your date book has lots of numbers. Here is one of those instances where you can pay people to fuck you, BUT... you always wind up paying anyway... one way or another. It’s a high-end escort service with benefits, at least from their side of the conversation, BUT... it’s pretty low-end action. This is one of those situations where a little knowledge is dangerous for everyone involved.


In Times of Material Darkness (which we are slowly emerging from), the main medium of exchange is money, BUT money is based on something that is the more genuine currency and it is a spiritual thing. It’s one kind of misfortune to become materially bankrupt. It is something else entirely to become spiritually bankrupt, which is a state shared by nearly everyone with too much money. Still... The Attractive Force is not specific to anything. If you are attracted to something that is all the verification of value that you need, and you see it everywhere all the time.


Because I have been studying metaphysics and arcane sciences for a long time, and... especially since I wasn’t out to make a buck, certain information has come my way on all sorts of strange and obscure subjects. That is how I come to know that the degree of difficulty in learning Tantra is at the extreme end. There are probably somewhere around 5 people on the planet at any one time who have expertise in this discipline, and it takes an entire life time of devoted focus to get anywhere near The Real Goods, and NEVER... EVER... do these folk advertise or set up a shop. They find you. This is the case with every legitimate tradition. You may think you went looking for them but they saw you coming well before that.


If people understood the damage they do themselves by pretending to be someone they are not, they would really give more thought to the matter. Also... one of the real costs of doing this sort of thing is that you are kept away from the valuable and useful information. You might as well be wearing a sign around your neck, but... life follows life and time is irrelevant when it comes to all the scenarios that are arranged for you to find out that you know nothing at all.


The truth about Tantra and anything else you can imagine, and everything you can’t imagine, is there to be had and no sincere seeker is turned away. Plenty of sincere seekers turn themselves away when they discover there is no quick fix, and that actual hardship and sacrifice are required as the price of admission. If you’re not prepared to be inflexibly dedicated, there are many more accessible gigs for you to waste your time on.


People seldom realize that they are carrying around an ocean of buried treasure chests that can be drawn to the surface if you know what you are doing or... you are fortunate enough to meet someone who does and is willing to show you; "These three are difficult to obtain in this world and depend on the mercy of the gods- the human birth, the desire for salvation, and the company of the great-souled ones."


Even if you did have the gene and went through the incredible learning curve of Tantra, imagine how you might feel when you find out that none of that is necessary. Yeah. Every legitimate tradition is about one thing and that is Unity, which is love’s one objective in all times and places. The term, yoga, means to link up, to be yoked to something, and all righteous practioners put themselves in voluntary harness to The Divine... unless you want something else, and... in that case you will get something else.


If you’re a bottom feeder, you will get that blue plate special... over and over again. If you are a high-end feeder, in the most real sense, you will dine with The Almighty. In fact, there will be nothing that you engage in that does not involve an association with The Divine. At this level, even the most insignificant event in your life is a special dealing of God with your soul.


Tantra and the essence of all legitimate traditions that have ever been or will ever be, come as a complete, all-in-one package deal. It has been said by proponents of Ageless Wisdom that... if you walk The Path of Love, all knowledge and wisdom will be conferred upon you, automatically, once you get lit up. On the other hand, if you walk The Path of Knowledge, you will still have to come back and walk The Path of Love. This is a non-negotiable aspect of The Way.


Ambition is a curse, so is getting for self, and all of the urgings of The Personality, The Mind and The World, which lead to eventual grave disappointments. The thing is... this is how God is. This is God’s Nature; to be selfless and endlessly giving, and if you can’t get with the program, you will not get The Libretto, and... that seat will already be taken.


For some reason, most people do not understand certain basic features about The Divine. Of course, The Divine is incomprehensible and forever beyond description, BUT... there are certain features and characteristics that he possesses, like utter humility, boundless generosity and compassion, never-ending and immeasurable mercy, and that is why these are the qualities that are asked of us because they are the qualities of God.


Regardless of the glory and splendor... and the blinding radiance... God is just a regular person like any of us, and he/she certainly moves among us like that. Unassuming is one way of putting it. God seems to be in awe of something, and maybe that is a mystery to you and maybe it isn’t. (grin) Most of all, God is REAL. Everything else may be a hallucination, BUT... God is most definitely not, and...



...one last thing.

"Especially, in Times of Material Turmoil, God is More Accessible because... The Degree of Difficulty is Greater."

God Poet Transmitting.......


Religious traditions and the Cromwellian bureaucrats and functionaries that manipulate them, in the time-weary marketplaces of deceit, exhaustively complicate the matter and turn the populations round and round on a wheel of confusion. They provide them with ritual, dogma, and cant, the dry husk of what might once have been a living thing. Anyone with any intelligence will eventually walk away. The generally incompetent that are incapable of original thought, while away the centuries spinning prayer wheels... bobbing their heads up and down while they murmur incantations which lost all meaning way back and long ago, or listen to mind-numbing sermons from men who dream of violating children.


God is a living thing! God is THE living thing, without which NOTHING else would be alive because God is the life in all things. God is the blood... the sap that runs through the tributary veins of humans... animals... trees and the like. God is deep asleep in The Mineral Kingdom, and... by degrees... more and more awake as he ascends the ladder of consciousness. God is always God wrapped in his own mystery and apart, BUT... also... very much in everything at the level it is existing on. God is the mirror reflection for whatever degree of comprehension anything is in possession of.


God is simplicity itself, while at the same time, giving birth to endless complexities of form. You have to trace the way back to what you emerged from so very long ago. You have to cut down the intricate systems of thought that exercise a stranglehold on your consciousness. Once again, this is the reason for the admonition to become as a little child.


You are an adytum. You were created to be an adytum, a place of holiness in the midst... to possess a central core of stillness. It is the place where God dwells within. It is the residence of Emmanuel. You do not need to light a candle to see your way. You do not have to hammer at the walls to gain a response. You do not need to whine and moan about God’s absence. At no time is God not already there. If you can’t hear or feel God, then you must adjust your receiver. This is why you have The Dial. You must tune to the frequency. God has been speaking on that frequency since Creation began.


It should be a given that if you are listening to The World, then you cannot hear God. Our ears are tuned to The World upon our arrival. For many... it is all they hear... all their life long. The more that Materialism advances, the harder it is to hear The Voice of The Silence, AKA, The Still Small Voice. There is an eternal hum of unity from which Creation came to be. When you can hear that, you are in tune with Creation. That is not The Still Small Voice. The one is the impersonal resonance of The Presence of God. The other is the personal voice of God as it applies to you.


It is not necessary to get into the technology of this. You do not have to know how something works in order to operate it. If that were the case, there would be fewer people driving cars.


The problem is hearing the voice. It should be remembered... always... that God was trying to reach you long before you thought about reaching God. Therefore, you need only be open. It takes practice and it takes persistence to finally open... or have opened... The Inner Ear. When God wants your attention, sometimes he will use trials and trauma to get it. When he goes through the trouble to do so, you are of a singular importance to him, and he is actively in pursuit of you. Otherwise, he will simply shrug and leave you to your indulgences. Let me include here one of my favorite statements: "These three are difficult to obtain in this world and depend on the mercy of the gods- the human birth, the desire for salvation, and the company of the great-souled ones."


God knows very well, and far better than we do, our state of readiness and interest. Sometimes, God wants us for a specific task, and we will be in the process of being made fit well before it ever comes to our attention. God is always way ahead of you since he is The Alpha and The Omega. You have only to put yourself in a state of openness and wait. God will... eventually... show up. I call it practicing The Presence of God. You act like he is right there, even if you have no evidence of that. It must matter to you, or you wouldn’t do it otherwise.


Most especially, in Times of Material Turmoil, God is more accessible because The Degree of Difficulty is greater. Finding God is the most important thing you will ever accomplish. You need to know that it is God that does everything and we do nothing but permit God to operate in and through us. This IS the difficult art, and as I have said time and time again, you only have to want this more than anything else. That is the single criterion. Period. Want God more than anything else, and you have met the requirement. God WILL take it from there.


It varies from person to person. It might be long and arduous. It might be a breeze. However... if it is a breeze, that means it was long and arduous at an earlier time. We all have different degrees of resistance to The Presence of God. You may think you are not resisting, BUT... there is a whole area of our being that we know very little about. This is why persistence is so important. Think of it this way: while you are digging out, God is digging in. You are God’s supreme project and more important than you think. You need only look at the state of The World to see this.


Many people turn away from God because he puts us in The Mailroom or The Kitchen to start out (as above... so below). We think we are more qualified than that, and that part of us that is under that particular spell is what needs to be addressed first. This is one of the reasons that we are often hammered into the dirt at the beginning or at the end of the process of refinement. It is very necessary for us to know what we are leaving and... to be convinced that we should not fall back into The Dark Splendor. Those who do not readily embrace Humility at the earliest opportunity WILL BE humbled. Spare yourself the need for this, even though you will be getting some amount of it regardless. (grin)


You can put on the funny robes. You can consider yourself upwardly mobile in the temporal hierarchy. You can rise to a high position from which to fall. It won’t mean shit to Heaven. Heaven was very clear about the least being first. Anything you need to know on the way is present in the scripture of every tradition, BUT stay simple. As Lao Tzu said, “leave off fine learning” Find bedrock. Find that common denominator, which is Impersonal Love. The Sun demonstrates this all day long. There is a wealth of understanding that can be gleaned from the statement about becoming as a little child.


It is a long, hard struggle through resisting landscapes. Although the language is very archaic, and someone really ought to modernize it... The Pilgrim’s Progress lays it out very nicely. Many are called, but few are chosen, and that is because very few of the called possess the necessary fortitude and perseverance to keep on keeping on. Yet again... you have to love it. You must be inspired by it. Otherwise, you will fall by the wayside.


The personal resistance has to end. Time... over the long run... takes care of that. Time is the water that wears away the stone. It is also what polishes it. Occasionally, I will have something in my hand. It could be a piece of wood or a TV remote. I will rub it with my thumb for periods of time, not really thinking about it. Eventually, it becomes smooth and shiny in the places where I rubbed it with my thumb.


One tradition says to pray without ceasing. Another says to practice The Presence of God. Another suggests that you control your thoughts. All of these imply a consistency of application, and... success is speedy for the energetic. If you just keep at it, you will get there, keeping in mind that you are already there, but... just don’t know it. I tell you these things because I know them to be true, and the outcome is a joy beyond the telling. You really are going to want to do this more than anything else, and it will protect you from the travails of aging and many another hardship of the mind and the heart.


When one is young, there is this sense of invulnerability and the idea that you can do anything. Life will disabuse you of your illusions, even while you hold them tighter to you. You need The Light to see where you are going. I can’t stress this... or so many of these other advisories... enough. The time comes when the truth of it dawns on everyone, and often... as if at the command of a mysterious law... when you have traveled too far out of the way. I see it all the time, BUT... given my Hermetic nature... indirectly or at a distance these days.


Telescopes and microscopes... telescopes and microscopes. Kaleidoscopes and white featureless walls. Here and there. Now and then. Coiling and uncoiling. Hurry up and wait. Materialism will... assuredly make you insane and leave you believing in nothing. The agony that people put themselves through astounds me. There is a better and more certain way, and...



...one last thing.

"Earth is a Body and a Being, Just Like Us. It also has Meridians that Are Called Ley Lines, which Are Energetic Pathways."

God Poet Transmitting.......


How did New York City wind up being New York City in that location? How did anywhere wind up being wherever it is? If you’ve ever worked in property management, as I did for a period of time, you know what a master plan is. The most critical feature of a master plan is that it provides for future expansion. It’s a look ahead sort of thing. Some people have master plans for their lives and the lives of their offspring. Neither of these can be depended on to follow through as they were originally designed.


Geographic master plans are usually more stable because they can’t react like you or your offspring can and often do. However... there are many cases of something indefinable causing certain locations to become inhospitable. I’ve been in places where larger communities were intended, BUT... something stopped them. I remember a planned community near Palm Springs, KA (Kalifornia).


It had the ironic name of Happy Valley. I’m guessing the residents were none too happy there because they either never showed up in the first place or no one wanted to stay. As I remember it, there were several dozen complete houses. I stayed in one of them for a week or so when I was broke and on the road, shortly after my Kundalini awakening, which I was still in the midst of. It went on for a very long time. I don’t remember anything too spooky about Happy Valley, BUT... at the time, spooky was a constant. Unless it was REALLY spooky, I would have hardly noticed, as I was moving back and forth through parallel universes all the time.


There is a lot of wind in the desert around Palm Springs. I know that the wind is noted for making people crazy. It makes the high tension wires sing, among many other things. When the wind goes bad in certain parts of The World, they call it a Jinn. I suppose that would be Arabic for Demon. It is also another term for Elemental. Sometimes people call things evil that aren’t evil so much as vehicles of unrestrained force. Nature has a lot of these, and when you can’t control them, people say they are evil. Actually, you can control them. Jesus did and so have many other people who knew how it was done. Everything can be controlled by The Mind because everything in force or form is an extension of mind.


I was a Shiatsu practitioner for a while. That’s one of those activities I had The Gene for. It came naturally to me, and I was and am effective at it. I never did it as a profession because I don’t believe in selling my services that way. At the time, I knew people with back problems and I had always wished I could have helped them. So... I went to a school in New York City for a year and learned various body-working skills. This has proven useful over the years, but I was never able to employ it in The Real World, whatever that means.


Anyway, I bring it up because there are these things called meridians in the human body. They are routes that energy travels over, and sometimes the energy is blocked and that can cause chronic conditions when the blockage remains untreated. There are two ways that energy expresses in the body, and they are called Kyo and Jitsu. Kyo is when there is a lack of Chi... less energy than you might like, and Jitsu has an excess of energy that expresses in fullness where Kyo would trend toward emptiness. The thing is to get the energy to move from Jitsu to Kyo OR Kyo to Jitsu in order to balance everything out. Balance equals Harmony, which equals well-being. If you want to feel good, you need to be in a state of balance. You do not feel good when you are out of balance.


Both Acupuncture and Shiatsu work with the same principles. Shiatsu is Acupuncture without needles. Chinese Medicine follows similar principles with The Five Elements. It’s all quite simple until you get into The Details.


Earth is a body and a being, just like we are. It also has meridians that are called Ley Lines, which are energetic pathways. This might account for what happened to the little town that never was; Happy Valley, and many other locations where people are not allowed to reside. Jinns, or their counterparts in other traditions, police these zones. I used to run into this kind of thing all the time on LSD. I might be welcomed, or I might be told in no uncertain terms to keep moving. If I didn’t move, then I might be encouraged to move. Of course, if I knew The Dance that applied to that particular sector of Earth, I could integrate right smartly and all would be well, and sometimes... I would know The Dance by intuitive means, and sometimes I did not, and I would move along.


Usually, when you are in Nature and in an altered state, and you have some limited entry to necessary states of consciousness, you... are... going... to... run... into... entities. Then, it is a matter of how centered you are; where you are in proximity to The Spindle. After a time, I became an old hand at this sort of thing, and not much ruffled me, BUT... there were moments, and... one needs to be prepared for the unexpected. Many ingenues, novices, and rookies who messed around with Ceremonial Magic have learned this to their enduring distress. Shit can get very real when you are out of your depth, and just as it is in the ocean, it is easy to get out of your depth without knowing about it.


I don’t fool around in these areas anymore because I found what I was looking for, and there is no need to look further. As reckless as I was, once upon a time, I was never the sort to be an intentionally foolhardy... extreme sports kind of a guy. I knew my limitations... most of the time... and I had the great advantage of knowing that Love is a language on every plane of being. Love is EXTRAORDINARILY powerful and in the right hands... meaning those hands who know that I do nothing of myself, but it is The Father who doeth the work in me, then Love automatically turns everything into itself. It is the ultimate weapon and sanctuary at the same time.


Anyway... meridians run over the Earth... and energy... all sorts of energy runs along with them, and that accounts for why New York City got built on Manhattan Island. It also accounts for why wars are fought in certain places and why certain places are no-go areas, AND... sometimes that depends on whether it is day or night, as I found out more than once, (shudder) but... once again... Love ALWAYS finds a way to displace Fear, and Fear is your real worst enemy in most any situation.


Sometimes, people have the courage of drink. Sometimes they have the courage of false bravado, BUT... real courage is never foolhardy when there is no need to press the point because you can... indeed... get out of your depth very quickly. I would always Stop... Look... and Listen because you get information; don’t go in there tonight. Don’t go down that street, take the next one. Don’t do this and don’t do that. I think it’s time to leave this bar. I am certain both my ass and my life were saved many times by stopping... looking and especially... listening.


Some locations are hospitable to you, and some are not, BUT... others have no problem there. You have to know what’s what for you. Don’t stay where you are not welcome vibrationally. Most of us have that higher sense that informs us of this. Some places are just bad news, like sections of highway where serious wrecks are always happening. These are feeding grounds for certain entities. You have to be alert and you have to pay attention. This is the case for a lot more than just sections of highway and certain parts of town.


In our modern world, God often gets mislabeled and made into something apart. We divorce ourselves from the reality of things and conditions and find ourselves accepting a shared, cultural meaning that is useless for our improvement. I find it best to think of God as the best version of me. If I can completely rely on The Divine... become as a little child, which is what The Master recommended, then God will change me into what he is because, that... is... what... He... does. The more powerful always assimilate the less powerful. The finer ALWAYS rules over the grosser aspects. This Earth is a blacksmith’s shop. You have to trust The Blacksmith.


In this modern world what I notice most is that people want to be who and what they want to be, and their ambitions and their appetites become increasingly more gross and pedestrian. It is as if they believe they know who they should be or who they are and don’t need anyone telling them anything. Their force of will is going to ride right over whatever is in their way, and if they can’t bull it, they will fox it. That doesn’t fly in the cosmic sense. It is much better to allow The Divine to shape you as he sees you because you REALLY don’t have a clue, and we see it play out every day somewhere, and that is the point of becoming as a little child.


You have to come into balance. You have to come into accord with The Divine Plan. There are spiritual meridians that angels travel all the time, and if you permit the attention, you will be made balanced and whole. Just as soon as you stop telling The Divine what you want and allow The Divine to tell you what he wants, you will have the remarkable attention of The Blacksmith... refining and tempering your metal, and The Operation of The Sun WILL BE in operation, and...



...one last thing.

"I Don’t Bother with Systems Anymore. They Were Useful When I was Learning to Ride a Bike. Now, The Bike Rides Itself."

God Poet Transmitting.......


Did I not... several days ago... call attention to the very same construct that this fellow is illustrating?




For me, it was common sense. I rely on common sense a lot more than I do logic. Logic serves both sides as it suits the one employing it. This is one more uncovering of hidden machinations in a time of uncovering and revealing. Nothing stays hidden for long now, and many sins and errors that are committed in this phase of The Transition, are committed so that they can be uncovered that those with eyes may see.


If you come to these sites (in rotation) with any kind of frequency, you will remember that I have stated over and over again that The Avatar cleans all the planes on his way to The Material Plane. He literally sweeps the planes clean and drives all agents and agencies of darkness before him, down and out upon The Material Plane. So it is that demons and various negative entities that were formerly lodged in other places have now found their way to The Material Plane. Each day now, I see more and more examples of deeply disturbed people exhibiting demonic behavior. The signs of Possession are unmistakable.




I could see where some of you might say, “Well, thanks a lot for that, Mr. Avatar.” The reasons for this can be as complex and obscure as the mind is willing to make them. It is probably best to simply accept that this is a necessary step in cleaning all of the staging areas, preparing the ground for the incoming Age of Aquarius. The same process occurs again and again, so there must be both rhyme and reason to it.


I encounter these demonstrations of madness with increasing frequency now. I am told that TikTok is much worse, BUT... I don’t go there. I am starting to think that X is no place for me either, but I have to draw the elements of discourse from some location for material context. It might as well be X because everywhere else I go is even more deceptive.


As we have been saying here since before there was even that much indication of it, Insanity is the real pandemic. The primary expression of Materialism is Diversity. Because of this, it trends toward the splitting of The Mind, and people who become immersed in Materialism become more and more splintered, and the appearance of Schizophrenia and all the other pathologies become more and more prevalent. All of this is now patently obvious, especially in those locations where the population is more compressed and the rats (metaphorically speaking) are crawling all over each other.


Create insane and out-of-balance environments, and the residents therein will become more and more imbalanced and crazy. It’s a tautology is what it is, and I am sorry to have to repeat myself as I do, but... I am observing The Trends and Patterns and commenting on them. Hopefully, my efforts lead to a greater clarification of WTF is going on.


The whole warp and woof of existence is interdependent. It is what it is because the interactive connections all make it what it is. Fortunately, it is not static; it is dynamic, and you can expect the situation to change, although... usually... it takes a lot longer to do that than we might like. That’s the usual way of it in ordinary times. However... these are not ordinary times, and time itself is speeding up for various reasons. I could go into it from the perspective of Physics, BUT... why complicate the matter? It is what it is until it is something else. The reality, though... the actual IT of it is... is only the appearance of what it is. What it really is... is much deeper, and appearances do not affect it... at all.


If you get caught up in the appearances. If you take the way things seem to be for the way things are... it will make you crazy, and that is why so many people are acting out in a lunatic fashion. The whole of their sense of self is determined by appearances, and when they go fugazy... the fugazy goes with them. Everything becomes false and disingenuous when everything is on the surface and all deeper meaning has left town.


The idea that shit flows downhill is valid only when you consider that everything flows downhill... unless it is anchored... because of a law in Nature, and it is still dependent on how steep the hill is. All this convolution is necessary to frame the argument (which is not an argument) that is being presented here. There are good reasons for why things are as they are at the moment. Common sense should explain most of it... unless you have intentionally blinded yourself... as so many people do because of the pressures of appetite and ambition... because of hunger and desire, and the stupider you are, the more you are under the control of carnal nature.


Meanwhile... there is a concerted effort to make the general public stupider by the day. Those employed in doing this have their reasons. However... regardless of their intentions and because they have also willfully blinded themselves, NOTHING turns out the way they intended for it to, and they are just as crazy as the more obvious examples.


Many times here, we have said that it is all in The Mind and that The World itself is an outworking of what is taking place in The Mind. Keep this in mind (grin) when you ask yourself where do these mean and evil people go when they leave here BECAUSE... you don’t see any specific justice being visited upon specific people who are so richly deserving of it.


Your mind is your world... inside, where you think it into being, and outside, when you see how and what you have defined it as. You go to that place your mind has created for you, based on what you have gotten up to, and... it is exceedingly poetic.


The Buddhists have illustrated the dynamic better than any other system I have encountered, BUT... it is not my nature to get lost in minutiae and labyrinthine circle jerks. You would think that the simple concept of mindfulness would remain simple, but it only does this when you are smart enough to stay right there... or you survive long enough to get back there. I’m not knocking Buddhism. It’s a good system, BUT like anything else, it is only as good as the person employing it, and that is the same for Christians... Muslims... and what have you.


I don’t bother with systems anymore. They were all useful when I was learning to ride a bike, BUT now... the bike rides itself. Systems can run you in circles for really long periods of time. It’s far more profitable to find the author of the system, and that is why Love is both the medium and the objective/destination for me. All these people losing their minds have become divorced from Love. It is what The World they occupy has done to them... with their consent... because they didn’t read the fine print. Some of them can’t even read, and reading is useless without comprehension. The good news is that someday... they will find themselves, or something will find them. Everything is accounted for, whether you know this or not.


So, at present, we are in Crazy-Town, having a crazy time. Once you find your way to The Rim, all thought about the existence of The Spindle has departed from your mind. All these people are crazy because appearances are ruling them. They are trying to adjust to the irrational conditions that surround them with rainbow hair... body piercings... tattoos... sexual complexities... unbridled appetite in search of an impossible satiation. It is a horror and a pity what they have done to themselves because the ones running the asylum are being entertained by it. This will all run its course. That’s the good news.


The Avatar really is coming, and this time it is Super Jesus... and Maitreya... and The Mahdi ... and Kalki, and everything else that the deepest and most desperate hopes and prayers of humanity have drawn down upon it. The Devil Worshipers will get the one they seek too, as will everyone else due to the reflective mirroring nature of existence.


The Spindle and The Rim has to do with how you adjust to The World outside of you. The Dial has to do with the way you adjust The World inside you. Everything is a state of mind. You can try to please yourself. You can try to please others. If you don’t know what’s going on in the first place... if you don’t know what is real and what is not... you will never please yourself or anyone else.


See that you make First Principles first and proceed from there. Get it right prior to trying to fix anything; getting it right will fix it automatically. How can you know what is right or wrong when what you want makes your determinations for you? Stop wanting and let clarity descend upon you, and...



...one last thing.
