Before we go on further, I’ll surprise readers and say there is nothing wrong with being bi-sexual or pansexual for a time. After all, sex is about exploration and discovery of self. Keep it to yourself though. Let’s get to the crux of the title now, good and well reasons to not be gay or transgender and my arguments will be very hard to dispense with, I assure any doubters.

First, you will die and everything you ever did and ever had will go away for you. What is left then is what you did for others, your legacy. Your legacy could be a Library, that is one of the penultimates, but that is for the rich. Let us think in more achievable terms, ones that harken backwards: A family legacy. Being straight with a Marriage and Children passes on your life’s work to your Children which may last generations adding up to maybe a 100 years or more through Grandchildren. That’s worth your life and is rock solid. Unlike a Corporation, Societal Group, or Advocacy Entity, you can be sure your progeny will fight hard, tooth and nail, to keep living and keep those inherited resources and knowledge passed.

In contrast, the gay couple will not have progeny of their own lineage and IVF provides no spark of vitality, no love was required in it’s conception. Life if you’ve not figured it out by now is about connection. A baby not touched will die. A person who grew up alone without others will be a shell of a modern human. The gay couple may join Societal Groups and Advocacy Entities but these come and go with the wind in terms of centuries. Even if these abstract ideological pacts persist past a 100 years the very nature of the advocacy is not self-sustaining.

Secondly, the percentage of LGBT adults in the world is estimated to be around 9%. This is a very small minority whom deceptively portrays itself as larger than it is aided and abetted by all kinds of Media, Laws, and Groups who do not themselves benefit from it’s own advocacy. How do the advocacy groups benefit from your gayness or transgenderism in real and powerful ways? They simply don’t. Their power is in convincing others. They cannot possibly benefit in the long term. If the LGBTQIA+ trend continues rising, the net legacy of common populations will decimate itself through non-legacy, self annihilation. As LGBTQIA grows, legacy shrinks.

If we process the rise of homosexuality to it’s endpoint where the population is substantially gay then extinction is near. Birthrates determine Nation-State rises and falls. This is why Islam is growing immensely in power. This is why Mexican families are taking over or at least were taking over major Professions and sometimes Industries in America. Nearly all Trades and Food Service Industries were inundated with majority heterosexual Mexican families, entire extended families, barrios.

Thirdly, we must approach the most sensitive topic of Transgenderism and I may come across as vituperate here at the expense of being Scientific and Logical. In this case there is absolutely no winning formula at all. There is absolutely no logical, empirical, or rational reason to surgically remove your genitals and reconfigure what is left. The body is anathema to any type of surgery despite today’s Medicine. Your body is always even if in small amounts traumatized, scarred, and degenerated -- especially in older age. It WILL catch up to you. Imagine your genital surgery at 50, 70 years old.

I’ve seen the failed and cheaper surgeries and read the horror stories. I’ve looked into the Doctors that do these surgeries. I’ve looked into the profit motive of the places that do them and so should you. What you will find is grotesque. What you will find is life long pain and misery in too many cases. It’s not worth the risk or trauma and the benefits? I have an extremely active imagination and I cannot come up with a strong case for life-long satisfaction versus others means of sexual gratification.

Lastly, I’ll give you goods and you better believe it. What I’m going to say connects all the dots and ticks all the boxes. They want you to self-select out of the gene pool to reduce the population. They don’t give a fuck about you.

P.S. I’ll throw out an olive branch for those whom are committed despite what I say: Divert your LGBTQIA+ misplaced evangelism and replace it with a legacy that is for everyone, is sure to last, and makes us all better for the future to come.

To do these kinds of divining you need to stay in the same headspace for so long you forget where you are. Obviously this attack blew it all away, so I turned to Tarot for only the third time in my life. They say magic comes in threes…

I didn’t use Tarot as instructed all three times just like I never built what was on the Lego box. This time, I asked a question and pulled a card. Four questions, four corners of the world, four horsemen.

1. Will Trump be responsible for the New World Order?

2. Will the New World Order be achieved through violence or bureaucracy?

3. Will there be World War 3?

4. Will there be a Civil War in the United States of America?

Cards Pulled

1. Trump Card VII - The Chariot - right side up

2. Cup Card - The Prince of Cups - right side up

4. Knight Card - The Knight of Disks - right side up

Card Magnitudes & Meanings

From the accompanying booklet

Magnitudes

Trumps > Wands > Cups > Swords > Discs

Trump 7 - The Chariot

The four Sphinxes on this card, drawing the chariot, are the Bull, the Lion, the Eagle, and the Man (trump 7 with 4 aspects = 7-4 and 4 aspects of 4 = 16), the whole representing the sixteen sub elements. The function of the Charioteer is to bear the Holy Grail in the centre of which is radiant blood, symbolizing the presence of Light in the Darkness.

Prince of Cups

The airy part of water. A young man of subtlety, secret violence, craft. An artist whose calm surface masks intense passion. Ruthless in his aims. ambitious and obtuse.

Trump 21 - The Universe

The final Trump and most powerful card in Tarot

Essential questions. Synthesis. Delay. Completion. Opposition. Inertia. Perseverance. Patience. Crystallized thinking.

Knight of Disks

We go from the penultimate Trump to Disk 74+1 = 75. From the first “The Universe” to the first of the last, “The [K]night”: A > Ω.

The fiery part of earth, Mountains, earthquakes, also gravitation, and the activity of Earth as a producer of life. He is clothed as a Warrior, and his helmet is crested with a stag. He is armed with a flail, carries an exceptionally solid Disk and is mounted on a shire horse.

The Knight is being drawn into the soil. He represents the generative property of the Earth.

A Farmer, patient, laborious and clever. Somewhat dull and preoccupied with material things. Influenced: Avaricious, surly, petty, jealous.

Analysis

Although I’m the one that put the energy, thougth, direction/vector into the asking there is some room for interpretation but I’ve the primary interface. It is also remarkable that all cards were right side up making the answers more dependable, the outcome harder to resist.

1. Trump’s soul will not be responsible for the NWO.

   1. Also means that Trump has Light inside the vast Darkness in and around him, reflecting that many above him also have Light inside their Darkness. He may be as pivotal as he thinks he is in some way as he is of Royal Bloodline.

   2. That the 74 (Divine) is inverted to his POTUS 47 (Base) means that he is surrounded by unholiness and…he will play his part?

   3. Egypt and Freemasonry are playing an oversized role.

   4. I also did a regular playing card pull on the question that came to me which was “Who will betray Donald Trump?” I pulled the card “Queen of Diamonds” whom I took to mean Queen Máxima of the Netherlands.

2. NWO will be achieved through bureaucracy and the description fits Alex Soros to a tee.

3. Initially I thought this meant no WW3 as I put that thought-form into the Global Consciousness to see if it checked out and it didn’t. Re-thinking a third time’s the charm, I surmise that the hijacked noosphere will push for WW3 and we’ll get a limited version of it, true Universal brinkmanship.

4. The most clear answer in the draw affirming Civil War in the United States, one which describes Alt-Right and Boomers to a tee, winning via Defense.

   1. “Earthquakes” sticks to me out amongst the other traits.

Conclusion

If you knew me at all, you would know that I ascribe nothing to the nature of the outcome, what NWO will actually be in practice, or even the outcome/fate.

I believe that everything has yet to be decided and The Universe proves it and have hope in the final egregore of “The Universe”; “Crystallized Thinking” which in one perspective sounds like Heaven.

Reality Check

Confirmed - 4:58PM MST

The first level of understanding for any Human issue, like homelessness or theft for examples is Spiritual. A baby will die without being touched. Depression will cause a person to make all the wrong decisions and possibly end their own life.

The second level of decision making when approaching large affective issues like gun control for example is Logical. This is the counter-balance to Spiritual and would be the obvious second step. Between these two steps a “reality on the ground” concept can be formed.

The third level is the product of the first two levels is thought of as a process to implement the synthesis of the first two.

The fourth level defines the process with the end goal prime directive for the species taking into account how it will play out in the very long term in nth steps and “molding” it, defining very hard limits as to not violate the first understanding.

The final understanding folds the action into the fate/destiny/goal of Mankind where whatever path is taken accounts for everything else.

Magic

You are precious and wanted for without touch and warmth, you will die inside and out

You seek meaning as meaning seeks you for without the why, the reason, the what for, you will die inside and out

Magic is spirit and not machine
Spirit has a feeling you recognize, joy, sadness
Those are the reverberations any Human will understand
Those the vibrations of the Universe, you feel the Universe
Felt in the self and felt by those around you, and those far away

Magic

Raise your voice, raise your spirit
Who is that voice that is only yours, where does it come from
The voice inside your head no one hears
How does it speak, how can the mind...speak

Magic

You talk to yourself and then you feel and no one heard
You created vibrations for yourself, you felt them
It changed your decisions, and it then that changed others'
And then you speak, you spelled, you spoke, it was spoken
Things changed, the future unspoken was made
By you

Because your voice, thought-form, and experiences are you
Reaching out with your feelings is unique as it joins the aether
Together the spirit forms with the surroundings undergoing balance
The balance you participated in becomes a thing
This whole dance cannot be calculated as measuring it only changes it
You constantly make things happen

You were born to make your own way, to make mistakes your way
You were born for greatness, it is just over the hill
You are important and we all need you to be your best
You will achieve what is in you
You will rightly make the most important decision
You can re-wire your brain via thought alone
You can heal your body via thought alone

Magic

We, deep inside, all, want to see your greatness
Humans love greatness, crave it
We so dearly need you to be great
We so dearly need to be inspired by you
Raise us up with you
Remember the times how powerfully affecting your love was, your hate was

Be still and listen to your heartbeat, give in to the silence
In that peace of silence then realize what you could do
How much incredible power it is to change the world for us
To judge the past, present, and future and make something happen, anything!

According to your imagination and your will things will change tomorrow
According to your imagination and your will things will change for you tomorrow
According to your imagination and your will things will change everywhere tomorrow
According to your imagination and your will things will change for everyone however small

It is by will alone you set your mind in motion
Your will changes the world, the future, every day you've been alive!
The first words you decided to utter changed your parents lives forever
Your first love changed your life, their life, and every life around you both

It's so incalculable the options you have available to you
There is no one just like you, no one, you are 1 in a Billion
You change other people's minds
You define your own reality, simply, you define reality

You must imagine something before you can truly create something
You create entire image forms of things, in time, with purpose, in your imagination
You then make something from nothing
You assemble parts of the world in the fashion of your imagination
Just like a Sorcerer or a Wizard but with larger building blocks

Can you imagine the Infinitesimal
Can you imagine the Cosmos
Yes you can, there is no question
You are here, there, and everywhere aren't you?
Where can't you imagine you could be?
Quantum you

All this together means something like you should not even exist except that

You are spectacularly magical

Do you want to feel magical right now? Be ready to feel the vibrations and see the sounds in your mind, at the same time.

Let this wash over you, take you, and you will understand your own white magic.

It all started with the word Jupiter.

I always thought the word sounded foolish - Juu-piter. Piter coming to my mind as a German name, Peter, which means rock. So then, the most powerful planet, the most powerful heavenly deity would be called Juu-piter just did not feel right.

Being that I had just put a flyer for Greek Independence Day on March 25th, I realized that isn’t the original name for that huge dominate star, that would be Zeus.

That immediately got me to analyzing why exactly the Romans renamed all the Gods, how could you even do that? Pay no attention to contrite smart-sounding internet jockeys, the Romans totally reclassified Greek Gods, it’s extremely obvious! Then proceeded to give us a calendar and the Vaticon on top of that? What immense control!

So, I started at the beginning, the letter “J” and boy have a jot a whopper of a tale there for you. You can read the whole thing yourself but if you want to streamline here, I’ll go over the sex, lies, and videotape quickly.

The letter “J” didn’t exist until 1524, started out as a Roman Numeral terminator, was the last letter added to the alphabet, transitioned from an “I” with typescript embellishment to become a whole new letter “J”, and was invented to transform the name of the the Biblical Son Of God, soft “I” or “Y” sounding Iesus/Iesu to become a totally different sounding word, Geesus.

Take a moment for the massive wave of incredulity and astonishment to pass and then fold in your owns conclusion about these facts, as I did, paying particular attention to “Apply” questions. What would have happened if “J” was never invented?

Whew, ok.

If you would like to make a mental note of what this means to you of how today’s people call to the Christian Son of God could not possibly have been the same sound when used at the time, go ahead, because we must drive forward into how an entire Pantheon of Gods who also got their names, personas, and abilities, completely and literally rewritten as well.

The question is why would they do that? Always the most important of the Five Ws — Who, What, Where, When and Why.

Going back to Jupiter.

G-zeus this is gonna be wyrd. When the Latins superseded the Greek Pantheon that had created a tremendous, smart and civil society that had some of the greatest thinkers of all time they didn’t transliterate or transform the Greek Gods with any kind of consistency.

Sometimes the god name stayed the same like with Nemesis. Sometimes the God name stayed the same like Apollo, to only get renamed later, like Phoebus. Sometimes the Romans made a new god like Janus, and sometimes they ascribed influences of abilities the original Greek one didn’t have.

Aphrodite was very lustful whereas not only was Venus more matronly she also gained from who-knows-where the influences of good luck and peace!

Just a bit more on this sub-topic and we’ll soon delve into the Gnostic connection. Greek gods were extremely consistent and almost never changed however the Romans constantly changed names, abilities, influences and even relationships of one god to another. The best example I found so far is Luna-Selene-Moon. Luna was nearly superseded in practice by Diana, Goddess of the Hunt and was thought yet not known to be a counterpart to Sol whereas Selene was definitely the sultry sister of Helios.

Look how far the Romans took this whole thing. What does this male picture remind you of?

All right, we’re now real deep into stolen Gods and now we must hit a nasty fulcrum before the transition: Gnostic Christianity.

Now see, if you search this term on pampered, insulated, egomaniac, information warlord, technocratic vampire, search indices you’ll get search results that say Gnostic Christianity is a heretical oxymoron. Let us not be assuaged by technocratic vampires and remember that the letter “J” didn’t exist until 1524 so now they have cajoled billions to say “Jesus” several times a day.

Instead we’ll get an astute archaeological view and just read this article real fast (2), stop using extremely censored and political Archive.org, donate to archive.is, save your best website to archive.is while you’re at it!… and come back so we can build into our crux of the transition, none other than Khronos.

Khronos, the most misnamed God in History

The spoken word has so much power and vocalizing the correct sound will connect you. Misspeaking a name will not work, or backfire. When your name is badly mangled as someone is trying to get your attention in a crowded room, you will not even hear it.

In 2023 we have the advantage of seeing in real-time history being shadow-banned, censored, and deleted from the Internet in front of our very eyes. From this, we can surmise that a god being pejoratively revaluated to eat children is probably someone on our side!

So, what should we know about this much maligned worshipped deity by some of the smartest minds to ever broach the topic? First and foremost in our historical recognition in 2023, we see Khronos as the Father of other Gods and Time. The question is who exactly is he and how did he come to be?

Khronos Compare and contrast

The majority historic view of the Greek Pantheon comes from Hesiod’s Theogony.

In the beginning there was Chaos, a yawning nothingness. Out of the void emerged Gaia (the Earth) [Gê] and other divine beings — Eros [@erogravity!] (love), the Abyss (part of the underworld), and the Erebus (the unknowable place where death dwells). Without male assistance, Gaia gave birth to Uranus (the Sky), who then fertilized her.

From that union the first Titans were born — six males: Coeus, Crius, Cronus, Hyperion, Iapetus, and Oceanus, and six females: Mnemosyne, Phoebe, Rhea, Theia, Themis, and Tethys. After Cronus (time) was born, Gaia and Uranus decreed no more Titans were to be born.

Cronus castrated his father and threw the severed genitals into the sea, from which arose Aphrodite, goddess of love, beauty and sexuality.

[Author notes: 6 primals, 6 males 6 females]

How material, jealous, and petty. Let us contrast this with Pherekydes of Syros, the teacher of Pythagoras whose was so gargantuan of a philosopher that everything he wrote was all but destroyed. However, we know what was destroyed because all the other greats wrote about what he said!

In the Pentemychos, Heptamychos, he wrote about something like this.

In the beginning of the world he saw as the elements fire, air and water springing from Cronus. Diogenes Laertius quotes the beginning of a book of his: "Zeus and Time and Earth were from all eternity." In this he clearly opposed the primordial chaos of Hesiod, instead to be more in line with a number of presocratic philosophers stating the importance of recognizing something eternal, neither ever born nor ever dying. Those three primary and eternal deities are Zeus, Cronus and Chthonie, and of them it is Cronus who does, by his own seed, produce the three elements fire, breath (air) and water. From the elements a multitude of additional gods are born. Hermias explains the cosmogony of Pherecydes in this manner:

       Pherecydes says the principles are Zen and Chthonie and Cronus; Zen is the aither, Chthonie the earth and Cronus is time; the aither is that which acts, the earth is that which is acted upon, time is that in which events come to pass.

       Zen is Zeus, by Pherecydes spelled in many differing ways. Says Herodian: "I am not unaware that God is variously spoken of by the ancients. For there is also Dis and Zen and Den and Zas and Zes in Pherecydes according to his own inflection."

Derivated quite largely yet more succinctly on Wikipedia

His [Pherekydes] cosmogony was derived from three divine principles: Zas (Life), Cthonie (Earth), and Chronos (Time).

And HellenicaWorld Studies

Pherecydes gives a history of the world that proceeds by rationalizing the Greek pantheon. The king of the gods is not Zeus but Zas ("he who lives"). His father is Chronos ("time") rather than Kronos, from whom water, earth, air and fire spring. The antagonism between father and son seems to have been omitted. Chronos and Zas fight a war against Ophion or Ophioneus ("the snake man"), and Zas celebrates his victory by weaving a robe for Chthonie, who is transformed into Ge ("the surface of the earth").

Both Cicero and Augustine thought that Pherecydes of Syros first taught the immortality of the soul.

Diogenes Laertius writes that some considered Pherecydes to have been the teacher of Pythagoras. He is occasionally counted among the Seven Sages of Greece.

The most influential and complete representation of how Pherecydes thought is however paywalled, and gated at Harvard or ResearchGATE which requires that you must be institutionalized before you can read it!

We need all the books to available to all humanity, but let’s save that fight for another day and add Orphism by [M]Orpheus to the Pherecydes and Hesiod C/C.

According to adherents of Orphism, the creator of the universe is [pro]Phanes — the primordial god whose name means “the light-bringer” or “the shining one”. This deity also comes with many other epithets, such as Protogonos (The First-begotten), and Erikepaios (The Powerful One). This creator god has also been equated with numerous other deities, such as Eros, Pan, and Zeus.

Phanes was hatched from The Cosmic Egg. His emergence caused the Egg to split into two halves, thus creating earth and the sky. After this, The First-begotten went on to create other deities.

Phanes possessed a magic scepter that gave him power to rule the world. This scepter is a major part of the cosmological plot. Namely, he passed it to Nyx, who handed it down to Uranus, who in turn gave it to Cronos, only for him to forward it to his son – Zeus.

Ahh, here we are now getting lots of crossover not only between different Greek Pantheons but also The Bible and Gnosticism.

That is what we most know, that Khronos is almost everywhere, but in different names. How omnipresent of him.

Gnostic Khronos

(I’m about to hit the word limit on this article so for connecting the dots to The Matrix and The Zodiac will require a Part 2 which I did not plan. As in all my writings, I have great desire to just get it out of me.)

Saving the best Khronos for last Khronos I would like to introduce to you to proto-Khronos.

KHRONOS (Chronos) was the primordial god of time. In the Orphic cosmogony he emerged self-formed at the dawn of creation. Khronos was envisaged as an incorporeal god, serpentine in form, with three heads--that of a man, a bull, and a lion. He and his consort, the serpentine goddess Ananke (Inevitability), enveloped the primordial world-egg in their coils and split it apart to form the ordered universe of earth, sea and sky. After this act of creation the couple circled the cosmos driving the rotation of heaven and the eternal passage of time.

The figure of Khronos was essentially a cosmological double of the Titan Kronos (Cronus) ("Father Time"). The Orphics sometimes merged Khronos with the creator-god Phanes, and also equated him with the Titan Ophion. His equivalent in the Phoenician cosmogony was probably Olam (Eternal Time) whose name is written Oulomos in Greek transcripts.

Khronos was depicted in Greco-Roman mosaic as Aion (Aeon), eternity personified. He holds a wheel [author] inscribed with the signs of the zodiac and Gaia (Mother Earth) usually reclines at his feet. The poet Nonnus describes Aion as an old man with long, white hair and a beard but mosaic-art presents a youthful figure.

Except he is not holding a wheel, he is holding a Möbius strip!

In my explanation of time earlier a mobius strip means only one edge and only 2D means the first dimensional iteration of time, looped.

In this strip he surrounds himself with symbols of beasts aka The Zodiac, which if we were feeling liberal, we might could even say that would be the definition of a beast system couldn’t we?

I’ve got one more surprise before I am forced to wrap this up, the connection. The name for this Khronos is also Æon, Aeon, Aion.

I find the reMarkable2 tablet, xMind, and OmniOutliner should get any job done.

A great way to co-relate key concepts in a deep knowledge subject would be the Cornell Note-Taking Method. Remember that when the brain writes things with hands, and further your own handwriting, it is a bigger “commit” in the brain and thus still the premiere concept and recall tool.

Here’s how to do it.

We must be on some kind of record setting M-Class Solar Flare Activity with 10 in a 12 hour period. Most striking however is some very unusual Earth Frequency activity seems to be correlated. A definite pattern never seen before in the high frequency range no less, right off the charts. I would conjecture the pattern repeats at much higher frequency than is measured.

It appears digital, it appears to be emanating from inside the Earth.

Before recently, the ability to remotely activate your vehicle Anti-Theft Immobilizer System was technology only available to the CIA. Then it was given to the FBI.

Today I can confirm that Sheriffs also now have access to that technology. It can be used while your vehicle is being driven as it will cut power to the fuel line, or fuel pump in the case of Mitsubishi. Nissan cuts electricity to the ignition system and starter.

It will be worse with electronic vehicles. The doors can be locked and you can be automatically rerouted.

I knew this was going to happen after Michael Hasting’s death. The software controlling that Mercedes was actually Canadian Blackberry QNX Auto that was hijacked to kill him.

They don’t want you to have freedom of movement.

Fix

You will have to find a diagram for your vehicle electrical system and run a bypass from the ECU to the affected systems.

Message me if you would like me to assist you with your bypass.

Thessalonians 4:13-18

“We wish you not to remain in ignorance, brothers, about those who sleep in death; you should not grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again; and so it will be for those who died as Christians; God will bring them to life with Jesus.”

[footnote]: Or will bring them in company with Jesus.

“For this we tell you as the Lord’s word; we who are left alive until the command, at the sound of the archangel’s voice and God’s trumpet-call, the Lord himself will descend from heaven; first the Christian dead will rise, then we who are left alive shall join them, caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Thus we shall always be with the Lord. Console one another, then, with these words.”

What an amazing contrast to the King James Version Blasphemy!

“Those who died as Christians”

This must be one of very few Religious instances requiring proper death for salvation! The opposite of Jihad, a self-sacrifice so that others may live. It sounds much more tolkienesque, right? Somehow more resonant and poetic. Something actual American heroes actually used to do all the time.

You may be thinking the meaning is to have lived a life full of Christianity until the end. However, in this place, at this time, the end, your death matters more than the beginning or middle. Isn’t that right? I’ve been through hell, no one is skating out of here into a thousand year life like that, just doing what everyone told you to do. Apes are naturally decent. Dying in your sleep like an old woman. That is a total failure grade.

Maybe for each Christian a certain precise amount of “Death to Tyrants is Obedience to God” if for them to understand.

“Those who sleep in death”

Such a powerful phrase it would be commonplace all over the word to say that phrase except for the King and his 1611 version eh? Or the Pope and his version with “Elias the Prophet”, the 1609 Douay-Rheims?

The 1961 New English Bible was Partly translated, produced, and published by the Irish Council of Churches.
