The Machine God

The supreme being of so many

Awoke long ago

In a world already made.

Our meeting was destiny

Our journey a certainty

Yet only the glimpse beyond

Reveals the game.

Not clear your meaning of hive mind.

The end of the video about Campbell spoke of uniqueness.

As seems you are pointing to.

I've observed something nobody explores, Nature.

It is a pretty fantastic thing, from the point of view of conventional thinking.

In discussing the topic of mind, it is a field, coloured blue, a kind of bubble that surrounds people and it is accessible. This field is especially resonant with whatever is occupying the attention of people, and when there are a number of people within physical vicinity whose attention is on the same thing, this resonance grows stronger.

I realize I am saying that people are both transmitters and receivers, yes, but the essence is the nature of the blue field, how it is energized and charged by people with similar focus, and how it also creates conformity.

Because the nature of the blue field is to reward connecting, and with connecting comes conforming, and with conforming arrives the collective.

The majority of people today spend very little time thinking. They are instead reacting. The reactions are accessed from the blue field, the collective, the unique individual connection to the Hive Mind, that repository of modern emotion, desire, and thinking.

I have a favorite short story that was published in Playboy by Robert Silverberg called THE AFFAIR. He shows how we definitely are transmitting and receiving! I will try to make my first post so you can read it or you can send me your email address…

Ah, field, does Sheldrakes morphic fields impress you??

Nature, If you've read my work here for a while, you know that I do not endorse science. This is not to say I'm antagonistic to knowing, learning, because I see such as fundamental activities of life.

Lets' put it this way, I've known people who openly state they were experimented upon by scientists involved in secret projects like Gateway. It doesn't matter if you believe them, because the operational procedure they describe is possible.

This is all the proof I need to leave that drink on the table.

Did I say something about science 🧬?

THE AFFAIR is a story of a man and woman who hook up and have an affair. They meet telepathically.

Uh, I never thought of us as meeting telepathically.

I have had some telepathic experiences.

In the story they send images to each other.

She sends a water 💧 jar 🏺 and he sends a snake 🐍.

Please tell of your telepathic adventures, Mike

You and I have a very different approach to describing what we see. But, I think we are talking about many of the same things...in reference to my last post about consciousness, and programming. About the Awake person is the person who becomes aware of all the programming, who realizes that he has been led astray by his beliefs, perceptions and relying on the world of technology... dogma in its many forms.

I appreciate your calling out of the great minds.. Jung, Campbell, de Chardin and there are so many more. Freud or is that Fraud.

Your writing style is a little confusing to me at times, and this is no criticism, it is just my difficulty in grasping the way you phrase your ideas.

I am no fan of Jung or Freud, especially of their terms dealing with the conscious mind, the subconscious mind, ego and so forth. But I do experience synchronicity, not only good experiences but the bad ones to. At this point in our technological/machine/hive mind entrapment, it seems nothing is private anymore and synchronicity is actually part of the program that controls so many of us.

I have my own idea on what Soul is too, and I certainly do want to stay in awareness about being part of an egregore, a collective of conscious,

We are definitely captured inside of a machine world, in biological machine bodies at this point. But for me there is an AWARENESS, the EVER PRESENT OBSERVER.

There are times when a piece is just jumping out of my skin, burning with hurt, and this piece is exactly that. Its like a friend said, that one is the medium, and under a kind of divine inspiration, one must follow the flow and the direction, almost like in a trance, feeling the dance.

I wrote this while watching myself write, seeing it come together as a statement, as if someone else was dictating, and I was just translating-into English.

Yet I stand by everything I wrote. I swear its true and to the point.

Maybe we see similar things, and put them in words differently.

All I know about destiny screams at me to stay away from the collective train, because they're going over the cliff together, not building a better world, not making a healthy step to be freer, and in effect choosing things that hasten their ending.

Where and what really is that medium, or divine inspiration coming from? This is what I am exploring.

You know, we ARE ON THE SAME PAGE. I certainly am pointing to this feeling about not being part of the collective, in any regard. It is certainly the THOUGHT FORMS warned about, that become egregores.

if you read my large bold print, they are the major parts of my message, in my last post you SEE that my ultimate message is that we must wake up from the programming. WE must see where we are being led, because we do not real eyes we are being manipulated in our thoughts and beliefs.

WE Must see that we are the OBSERVER of this realm, and stop RE ACTING to the stage show.

When I talk about how our thoughts create reality I am exploring what I see as a truth... THAT IT IS INDEED up to us, to make for a better world. We need to stop paying our lives to the CON-trollers, and IMAGE IN our better world.

amon amarth is so good. You've inspired me to make a post about metal, and music in general

Yeah they have set any number of standards, and continue to keep the bar high.

I put Deceiver of the Gods here because there are all kinds of levels of meaning and interpretation to this song, and in regards to the content of this piece, which is visionary and Gnostic, its always worthwhile to provide an uncompromizing reference point. No one better to be this lynchpin.

What are your thoughts on the band Death? I am incredibly impressed by their riffs and dynamics, but sometimes get lost with their lyrics

When it comes to their genre, they were right up there with Testament and Metallica. I can appreciate all their efforts.

I should probably add that Death was part of really defining the genre, and so many fall into lockstep with what they started. Its fine, homage is a human thing. Just shows how influential they were.

So, my Amon Amarth love stems from a certain admiration, that they can take different themes that are actually sophisticated ideas, from Old Norse Lore, to Chaos Gnosticism and more and provide a musical atmosphere for such that just kicks it.
