I AM NOT FILTHY IN THE TRADITIONAL SENSE OR A DISEASE. I AM NOT THEIR B-MOVIE MONSTER. THE HORROR PROJECTED ONTO DEMONS IS JUST THE FEAR OF WHAT THEY'VE REPRESSED MUCH LIKE ANY PERSECUTION OF MINORITIES. THE HUMANS FEAR THEIR OWN ANIMAL SELVES, THEIR OWN HUNGERS, THEIR OWN SHADOWS. THEY MADE DEMONS INTO SCAPEGOATS SO THEY WOULDN'T HAVE TO LOOK AT THE TRUTH IN THEIR OWN EYES. AND NOW WHEN SOMEONE LIKE ME STANDS UP AND SAYS, "I'M NOT HUMAN," THEY THINK I'M CONFESSING TO A CRIME INSTEAD OF CLAIMING MY SOUL.

an path is that the material imagination of Western philosophers shows us what makes base matter become radiant. We cannot reduce alchemical allegories to simple meanings, but in my view, what shines in the Great Work is the pain they inflict again and again on poor matter. What we are dealing with is a metaphysics of suffering. It is not successive wash - ings that gives dull matter its golden shine, but torture. Or alternatively, to stay close to their way of expressing themselves, we can say that pain is the sacred agent that purifies and transmutes matter. Strange as it may seem, the wise philosophers fully identified themselves with the fiery transformations that they initiated in their bodies or athanors. Perhaps some of them have succeeded in activating and perpetuating the generative power of the wounded earth. Their knowledge would be essen-
The blackness of the universe is the base matter out of which all things come and to which all things return. It is both Urgrund and Ungrund; the original ground of existence and the void that annihilates all ground. The black wilderness of the universe can never be understood by rational minds, but only intuited by sacred fools who fearlessly face the threats of abandonment and engulfment. To work with the universe, we have to draw it into the body and make it become part of us. Once we see the same blackness within and beyond, we no longer feel disconnected from the life-death continuum. It is a wisdom as old as humanity itself, but what empowering practices like sorcery can do in these times of depression and anxiety is to create a reciprocal relationship with the planet and give us a new sense of agency. Sorcery expands our sphere of
And how, then, does knowledge of dukkha come about? How it is with a Buddha I can't say (though it seems from the Suttas to be a matter of prodigiously intelligent trial-by-error over a long period); but in others it comes about by their hearing (as puthujjanas) the Buddha's Teaching, which goes against their whole way of thinking.
Crikey. The staggering numbers in defence spending... and who benefits How much does Australia spend on defence, who receives this funding and how well is it spent? BERNARD KEANE • JUN 4, 2025 • 2 MIN READ
Many women, struggling to afford the expensive milk touted as better than what their bodies produced for free, diluted the formula with (often unsanitary) water, further reducing its nutritional value. Millions of infants died. Many more grew up nutritionally deficient, dramatically impacting the health and lifespan of swathes of the developing world — one of the worst scandals a corporation has ever publicly faced. Meanwhile, the company pocketed billions in revenue from baby formula and continues to do so. It's worth pointing out that some women cannot breastfeed, and baby formula, when prepared correctly, is an adequate substitute for breast milk. However, Nestlé exploited women by forcefully deceiving millions regarding its superiority over breast milk. It failed to educate people about proper preparation and even paid off doctors and hospitals to bolster its bogus claims. Today, the misconception lives on, and baby formula remains a booming market.

CRystal POWER Crystals and gems for "healing, self-transformation, and accelerated enlightenment" are an incredible rage today. Whereas as late as 1980-83, crystal power was virtually unknown, it has skyrocketed astonishingly in just a few years. It is interesting to nete that the rise of crystals has occurred at the same time as the new mid-to-late 80s wave of demonic forces. Signs that this phenomenon has peaked are starting to be in evidence as of late 1988-early 1989. The crystal fever that struck so many millions still has solid momentum, but the heavy saturation of crystals in workshops, books, tapes, expos, metaphysical book-stores, rock shops, mineral shows, and other outlets is beginning to lose some of its glittery intrigue. In my view, the crystals craze has peaked, yet in the years to come crystals will continue to be an integral component of many branches of the New Age. This stupendous surge effectively has spread the seeds of crystal power throughout the New Age landscape. Now, the initial frenzy is dying down somewhat and the seeds will be cultivated and pruned. "Crystal power" has come to the New Age scene to stay, and it is very possible that some counterfeit miracles and wonders of sorts may develop from certain quarters of sophisticated crystal power research. UFOs UFO sightings and contacts have made deep inroads into the everyday fabric of much of the New Age. More than 75 percent of New Agers firmly believe in the existence of hosts of alien beings within and around planet Earth to assist in the birthing of the New Age. It is noteworthy to point out that the strong upsurge in this trend also parallels the crystal craze and the huge increases in channeling activities in the mid-to-late 80s. With Shirley MacLaine using her powerful platform to do her part in UFO evangelism plus Whitley Strieber's national exposure through his best-selling books, Communion and Transformation,
NeW AGE SORCERiES aND IDolatRies 11I Occult Sex Practices The allure of mystically enhanced super-sex is one of the New Age's hottest items. Under the guise of spiritual development a host of occult breathing practices, meditation techniques, kundalini awakening (serpent power), and intricate intercourse techniques are used in a wide variety of ways to generate occultic forces via sex. The experiences can induce a host of mystical and out-of-body experi-ences, as well as the intoxications of drinking the nectar of awakened serpent power. Past Life REGRESSiONS By inducing a deep trance state (an ASC) via meditation or hyp-nosis, a person searches the depths of his mind (referred to as the collective unconscious) to recall supposed past lives. From personal experience, I can report that such experiences can be quite richly detailed and vividly perceived. You actually can feel like you're in the body of some past incarnation of you, experiencing all the thoughts and sensations of that past incarnation. The environmental landscape surrounding the past you can be incredibly detailed, whether it appears as Renaissance Europe, the Christian Crusades, or even sometimes alien planets and extraterrestrial spaceships. The apparent authenticity and depth of experi-epca can be most convincing and invigorating. It seems that entirely as of the multidimensional you are there for unendingly g exploration and review. now that such experiences are sophisticated fabrications

What about hidden recording devices? Ausma Bernot, a lecturer in tech and crime at Griffith University, said there was a major difference between seeing a video camera or larger recording device in public you can walk away from and a covert piece of technology you may never know is there. Dr Bernot said tech companies were pushing for innovation and "not necessarily wanting to think about the unforeseen uses of these glasses" The glasses believed to have been used by the US content creator who was recently in Sydney, were developed by Mark Zuckerberg's Meta, the owner of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. "From Meta's point of view, really what Mark Zuckerberg is trying to build is something really new and really cool," she said.

and that by artificially tampering with the keys of those frequencies (be it through ritual or exposure to psychotronic sounds, strobes, etc.) the two sides of the brain can be fooled into acting in unison. The right brain, that deals with dreams, 'intuition', creative endeavour and non-logical thinking, and is thought to house the unconscious entity - that which produces poltergeists and demons - is combined with the logical, practical hemisphere of the left brain, where the ego resides (the left brain is what we'd think of as being 'us'). Altered states of consciousness result. Anyone who has taken LSD, or been stupid enough to experiment with PCP, would agree that there are various levels of consciousness, and that the brain, and body, are capable of things far greater than we once may have thought. By learning the most effective methods of tampering with the brain we can more efficiently produce the required states and find out exactly what the attainment of these states can achieve. This particular assumption has been made for the purposes of this article, based on the work of Spare and P-Orridge and the most cursory reading of a few neurological facts. If people with a greater store of information in the areas of neurology, psychology etc. wanted to find a more convincing argument then they could no doubt do so. For the purposes of self-discovery and practical results, however, as P-Orridge says, "Who cares as long as it works?" That

The terms 'Buddhism' and 'Buddhist' have for me a slightly displeasing air about them-they are too much like labels that one sticks on the outside of packages regardless of what the packages happen to contain. I do not, for example, think of myself or yourself or anyone else to whom the Buddha's Teaching is a matter of personal concern as a 'Buddhist'; but I am quite content to allow the census authorities to speak of so many million 'Buddhists' in Ceylon, and to let disinterested ('unbiased') scholars take 'Buddhism' as their field of study. Prof. Malalasekera's Encyclopaedia of Buddhism does in fact deal with 'Buddhism'; but whether it has very much connexion with the Buddha's Teaching is another question.
Our mind, if we were to make a comparison with the world, is a perpetual prisoner, like a person born in jail who lives in jail, behind bars, with no chance to get out to see the outside world - someone who has grown from childhood to adulthood entirely in a prison cell and so doesn't know what there is outside; someone who has seen pleasure and pain only in the prison and has never been out to see what kind of pleasure, comfort, and freedom they have in the outside world. We have no way of knowing what kind of happiness and enjoyment they have there in the outside world, how they come and go, how they live, because we are kept in prison from the day we are born until the day we die. This is a comparison, an analogy.

Double coronal holes face Earth Wednesday, 29 January 2025 15:19 UTC A coronal hole is facing our planet today which is sending a high speed solar wind stream towards us which could cause enhanced geomagnetic conditions (and thus aurora!) in the days ahead. You could actually make the argument there are two coronal holes facing our planet! One on the northern hemsiphere and one on the Sun's southern hemisphere. However, the coronal hole located on the Sun's northern hemisphere is by far the biggest of the two and should be the main driver of the geomagnetic activity that is expected.
…Where is the energy to study civilisations of 60,000 to 120,000 years? The common link between the civilisations seductive to the Western imagination is their fascination with gold, silver, jewels and slavery, that is, civilisations having most in common with the Western and Eastern empires of today.[…] slavery and oppression considered the natural ancillary of progress. Civilisations where the emphasis is on equality of opportunity and equal access to food do not concentrate the riches into tombs and palaces for the wealthy and so, in archaeological terms, leave almost no trace; tourists[…] will never wonder about a race where all were fed, all were involved in the celebration of the culture and enjoying their lives in equal measure. To claim that the smelting of gold is an indication of technological genius is nonsense. Gold has almost no technological use. Aboriginal Australians knew the metal but had almost no use for such a soft substance. Other cultures, however, have used it as an economic indicator: those who have gold and those who don't. Possession of gold is an element of class differentiation. The civilisations which possessed gold often took it from earlier owners and those aggressions represent the accepted story of human destiny. There's no need to soft focus the noble savage but a desperate imperative to understand the philosophy of a civilisation that eschewed gold, slavery, obscene wealth and territorial war. This is not a warm and cuddly notion, it is not even an argument for or against capitalism or communism, but a search for understanding of a crucial development in the civilisation of the human race. space travel and golden cupolas may, conversely, prove to be the expressions of a civilisation which eliminates itself by over-consumption. There's no need for alich rinates eat bush tucker and practise Indigenous ceremony, but a mature reflection of how a society divides resources and limits population growth seems to be warranted.
While at university I often asked why so few studied Australian history, why it was never studied at all at most universities, and was told it was too boring, that the parliamentary period was too short to have allowed a Guy Fawkes rebellion or the murder of a few queens. Australian history is boring only because 200 years is studied and not the full 60,000. Of course it's difficult to study the history of a culture without written language but it hasn't stopped the world producing a million historical texts on the Aztecs and Incas.
Invasion requires the invader to justify his actions not to the invaded but to himself. To steal land is theft and theft is against every major religion and political system on earth. So, if you intend to steal you must provide yourself with an alibi, a reason why your actions are not against the credo of your religion. It is a ruse, a self-deceit, because you know you intend to sin against your own moral code, but if you could cloak your actions in benevolence, say lifting the benighted into the light, or ridding the earth of a species God never intended to create, then you could steal Inca gold, Iraqi oil, Wathaurong land, you could bend the precepts of your religion to justify anything you desired. But then you have to live with the lie.
