The First Rites of Men Were Mortuary, the First Altars Tombs.



I like to be actual friends with someone before being their partner as I feel that forges the strongest relationship, and how this has played out basically means my already small single digit friend group has been whittled down by a significant margin feels devastating. Closure would be nice, hell it would solve all my issues plain as day tbh, but the fact is we're never entitled to it.

Aside from that I have been having a pretty awful time trying to learn in general lately. I'm reading books and nothing is sticking, which really sucks because my entire method of learning was to look at information once and retain it forever. So I'm honestly not sure how to learn outside of my typical instant osmosis. Fun stuff.

Meditation is still easy, in fact I meditate most of the day. But I've been having a very hard time finding energy to do guided meditation, especially with the Gateway tapes. I don't know, I feel.... closed off? I'm not sure what's going on. I haven't even made any attempts with Gateway in quite a few months for various reasons.

poo poo is all hosed up.

i hate being out of sync like that. everythings wrong and bitter. hang in there, the silver lining is being able to clearly articulate and feel the misery means you are clearly able and deserving of experiencing the opposite too

in my own life its always at the end my own anchors pulling me down and holding me back. you are the strongest and most stable thing you can possibly know and you are the one who will get through this

late in the night (early morning) I had a dream where I met the machine elves. they were in the corner of a basement of a house behind the boiler room. they didn’t want me there and one of them threw some kind of device at me that instantly woke me up.

McKenna told a story about being offered a DMT pipe in a dream and then having an actual DMT trip off of it, and also maybe you are psychic now

I might be able to help with this. I have trouble focusing and a terrible memory, so I accept that I have to work through books slowly. I highlight important lines, take notes with page numbers, and add bookmarks for sections I want to reference often. I also take short breaks to do further research when I get to something that I think deserves more of my attention.

And even then, I might not remember things as well as I'd like. But I'm more comfortable with that knowing that my book is all marked up from my previous readthrough and will be easier to return to.

I watched Nolan's. It was good. Matt Ford interviewed several of them if you want a more casual discussion of some of the same topics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-XcLvDLdws

Those Karl Nell slides are something else. Not even bothering with "if" anymore.

i dunno how useful organizing hypotheses into a chart like this would be unless you're studying idk social structure or trying to make predictions based on human response to ideas, rather than trying to study the actual ideas themselves.

The Sol Foundation, to me, is yet another circle of secret-keeping spooks who have been formed to frame the "disclosure" narrative in the most palatable way possible.

Garry Nolan's video especially was maddening. 35 minutes of chat about metal isotopes of supposed UAP bits, concluding that they are the result of an "industrial process". NICAP published the exact same findings about the Ubatuba sample decades ago without any of Nolan's equipment, yet here he is in 2023 saying the same thing. Nothing new. David Grusch has claimed we literally have crafts and bodies squirreled away in private industry, so I'm not really going to get excited about waiting for further analysis of metal trash from incidents 50+ years ago. Nolan is a very rich man, and I can't help but think of the millions of dollars he has received from the DoD/FDA and whether that might influence his role in all this.

I am also not particularly excited about their long-term disclosure plans, as it seems to me that the "catastrophic disclosure" they want to avoid is probably catastrophic only for government/corporate interests.

I watched a few more of the videos and they were fairly interesting, but not really anything new. I liked Kevin Knuth and the guy with the funky shirt that talked about human levitation.

They gotta mean sapient. Almost all animals are in this. Then they assume some definition of sapient and don't define it on the slide.

I think the quotes are supposed to imply that it's not actually a god but perhaps represents itself as one to humans? But it's a physical object or organism, not a so-called "god." The matrix would be metaphysical because it's outside of all of physics as we know it?

Decided to do a tarot spread regarding the one that ghosted me, cause the wound cut deep as hell. I know I shouldn't but it being Valentine's day has me feeling melancholic, especially after they posted some fiction related topics I by default found interesting (especially their commentary). The fact that these posts are probably the last time I'll hear their voice hit pretty hard as well.

2 card spread: Factors to consider that pulled/are pulling us apart. Will there a reconciliation?
3rd card: overall tone to help interpret the 2 cards

4 of Swords (reversed), The Emperor (reversed)
2 of Swords
I had similar feelings regarding a couple people back when I did my Death card reading itt (https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?&threadid=3967914&pagenumber=2298&perpage=40#post537582604). Those feelings weren't the main focus of my ritual, but the results did speak to answering them too. Especially the idea of closing old doors. I realized how much keeping those old doors open had been sapping my power, physical, mental, and spiritual. When I decided "the time for things to happen with them has past, I am done thinking about them", the power and confidence finally started to come back to me. That may be part of why you feel so stopped up. Good searching to you, it will be okay.

This is great advice. The more intentional and active you can make the process of reading and learning, the better you'll be able to remember it. It will be slower, especially at first, but the difference in the amount of information you actually absorb is incredible.

I don't disagree, but it's nice that even spooks have to acknowledge uncomfortable realities sometimes. I'm still working my way through all the videos since I missed these when they first came around, but I agree Kevin Knuth's video was good. I also really appreciated Peter Skafish's talk for the sociological side.
