i’ve had nasty migraines since my teens. i’ve settled on the image of a screwdriver twisting perpetually in my left temple (maybe it’s because i have a screw loose). i can sometimes go weeks, maybe even a little more than that, without having one. but they always come back, and then i have several in ...

There must be a generation or two of people who have never heard a Christmas carol or song, sing straight. Sung, that is, at the proper tempo, and in a straightforward arrangement that allows the melody, rhythm and words to be heard as written.

Instead, we get a parade of murdering carols and songs.

You know what I ...

There are people, online especially but also IRL, whose response to the evil nature of the ruling classes is avoidance.

It's the puritanical impulse (common to all religions, and found in all denominations); that ranks "sins" and makes a Big thing about publicly and socially avoiding those regarded as worst; on the ...

​Ultimacy advocates invest great time and energy casting sinuous word spells to convince you that they and the historical legion of theologians, philosophers, and church fathers they mimic and echo have God and reality all figured out, and that all you need to do in turn is respectfully and humbly bow your head ...

Modern people are no longer (since their young childhoods) able to live spontaneously and naturally (and mostly unconsciously) in the realms of the divine and spiritual - as seems to have been (mostly) the case for our tribal ancestors.

Neither does the intermediate symbolism and ritual of religion "work" as a ...

[Aslan said] "Your father and mother and all of you are—as you used to call it in the Shadow-Lands—dead. The term is over: the holidays have begun. The dream is ended: this is the morning."

Yesterday afternoon, I was sitting in a restaurant enjoying some after-lunch reading with a cup of coffee. Des Howell (Brian Wilson) is arguing with his mother over whether or not he needs psychiatric treatment, foreshadowing the "Garuda" scene I quoted in my last post.

"I have no need for [Dr.] Tockette," I respond. ...

Have you ever had a nightmare so horrific that the dream-producers weren't allowed to show it to you without your written consent and photo identification proving you to be at least 21 years of age?

I exaggerate. Slightly.

Last night I was meditating on Nephi's High Mountain Vision (1 Ne. 11-14) and had the idea ...

This is just a little sync with no apparent meaning, but it's so very specific that I have to record it.

On Friday, the day before yesterday, I read Alien Invasion: Reptilians, Cetaceans, and Frequency Wars on Planet Earth, a very short book of bargain-basement channeled material attributed to Wuono, a Cetacean alien ...

But life is not supposed to be a wholly passive business of dealing with the experiences that life brings to us.

As each of us are Beings who existed as spirits for an eternity before we were incarnated into this life; we all bring our unique natures and possibilities into this mortal life...

In other words; just as ...

I have often written here that the purpose of this mortal life must account for the extended nature of life - the fact that our life may continue for many decades.

This implies that it is not enough to regard mortal life as a matter of what happens at the end of it - i.e. for Christians a matter of attaining ...

Yesterday I shared an example of a "good" Christmas-themed commercial.

Today, I present with you the opposite -- Ginger's Christmas from Dr. Oetker Baking. I would really like to meet the psychopaths who thought the following somehow reflected "the Christmas spirit" or would reflect well upon their brand.

Most of ...

Christine Hartley (1897-1985) was a pupil of Dion Fortune and an important figure in the revival of the Western Mystery Tradition. In later life she even wrote a book with that title. There, nestled among stories of Merlin and Arthur and the Tuatha da Danaan and the Druids, there is a short chapter called St John the ...

I downloaded and read the book that came up in "If reptilian aliens are real . . .," Alien Invasion: Reptilians, Cetaceans, and Frequency Wars on Planet Earth by "Wuono" (channeled by Cynthia Hodges). I don't recommend it; it's just a run-of-the-mill New Age channeled text, with nothing very original to say. ...

These dreams are from Tuesday night. I took extensive notes upon waking, but I wasn't able to type them up in a publishable form due to being out of commission all day yesterday with a migraine.

I was at a large lake with several other people. It looked something like a caldera lake, with steep rocky banks, but ...

Last year, I featured and commented on two Christmas-themed commercials that I thought were rather "good," all things considered. Erste Bank (yes, a bank) was behind one of those commercials from last year.

​Interestingly enough, "Carry the Light," the Christmas commercial Erste released this year, is also ...

The poet Tony Harrison, who lived near me in Newcastle upon Tyne, has recently died (1937-2025); and then we also met some of his relations by marriage. So he has been somewhat in mind lately, since there was a time in the late 1980s when I was on the left and also had a high regard for his writing. For a few years I ...

Expedience used to have two meanings—one positive and the other negative. Of the two, the technically positive meaning of being useful, appropriate, or suitable for a specific purpose was usually overshadowed by the negative connotation of being useful for some purpose or self-interest at the expense of ...

Mainstream, normal, modern Western people are atheist materialists, who believe (assume) that there is neither purpose nor meaning in the universe - and that death mean annihilation.

This strongly implies that nothing really matters.

Yet they behave much, much better than would be implied by their assumptions ...

It has been noticed (even including by me!) that a hell of torment seems to have arisen after Jesus offered the possibility of Heaven.

Apparently, before Jesus; the Jews (mostly) had a common destination of Sheol, a ghostly underworld to which all souls went after mortal death.

But this wasn't a place of hellish ...

I'm preparing to do another round of experiments with dreaming under the influence of nicotine. I was just getting ready to take a shower, apply the patch, and go to bed, but I decided to read a bit in the Shaul Behr novel first. I read this:

Naive, sentimental, careless, self-hating, jaded, nihilistic, decadent, downright stupid, all these and more are words that can be used to describe the current state of the West which has signed its death warrant with its embrace of mass immigration. Certain sections of the populace are realising this and refusing to ...
