Scripted prophecy. Nothing more...

Posted by Guest - 06-19-2022, 04:30 PM

Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach. Any small, calm thing that one soul can do to help another soul, to assist some portion of this poor suffering world, will help immensely. It is not given to us to know which acts or by whom, will cause the critical mass to tip toward an enduring good.

What is needed for dramatic change is an accumulation of acts, adding, adding to, adding more, continuing. We know that it does not take everyone on Earth to bring justice and peace, but only a small, determined group who will not give up during the first, second, or hundredth gale.

One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Soul on deck shines like gold in dark times. The light of the soul throws sparks, can send up flares, builds signal fires, causes proper matters to catch fire. To display the lantern of soul in shadowy times like these to be fierce and to show mercy toward others; both are acts of immense bravery and greatest necessity.

Give this a watch - It's worth your time!

Mnemonic Mind Control - Who Owns Your Thoughts?
Quotes from the film "Mnemonic Mind Control - Who Owns Your Thoughts?"

"The subconscious mind is the data storage center of the brain. It recognizes simple shapes and colors and takes in any information the conscious mind cannot figure out. The subconscious is not just a storage center, however; it is in control of our five senses and it makes important decisions even before the conscious mind becomes aware of them. The subconscious mind is what determines our view of reality and how we manifest it."

"Sigils are everywhere; our subconscious mind recognizes the meanings of the sigils, having seen them over and over again. Sigils that have been around a long time have more power, especially if they are seen by millions of people every day. This is why advertisers and others who want to program your mind with their wishes use sigils on television, in the movies, on cell phones, on the Internet, in video games, on billboards, in magazines everywhere."

"The neural pathways of the brain are constantly reforming themselves, based on the information that comes in; the pathways are set according to what your daily habits are. When you change your habits or just change your mind, you begin to form new pathways; you can actually Ã¢â¬Åtrain your brain this way. However, if you are allowing someone else to train your brain, you are giving them the ability to reform and reshape the neural pathways of your brain for you. You begin to accept new perceptions as your own, not realizing it was an outside source that programmed your thoughts."

THIS IS NOT FOR PEOPLE LOOKING FOR TRICKS. ITS ABOUT HISTORY OF MAGIC.

Grand Illusions The Story of Magic

https://youtu.be/on7aHtKrCLI

These six episodes take you inside an alluring and enchanting world. It's all here, from the mechanical automata of Robert-Houdin to the elaborate illusions of Penn and Teller, from the death-defying escapes of Houdini to the bizarre and tragic feats of the sideshow performers.

The John Ruskin links are interesting.

Useless adornment? I'm thinking otherwise. Adornments can be used as containers filled with symbolic meaning. Look at Egyptian architecture - All designed as books. The artistic endeavor was not useless in this sense.

Especially this one:

Forbidden Knowledge of Luxor Temple in Ancient Egypt

Forbidden knowledge, which is different from secret knowledge, is used to describe forbidden books or other information to which access is restricted or deprecated for political or religious reasons. Forbidden knowledge is commonly not secret, rather a society or various institutions will use repressive mechanisms to either completely prevent the publication of information they find objectionable or dangerous (censorship), or failing that, to try to reduce the public's trust in such information (propaganda). Public repression can create paradoxical situation where the proscribed information is generally common knowledge but publicly citing it is disallowed.

The temple in man is built to glorify who?
Built over a time scale of 30 Pharaohs contributing to its design. Then came Akhenaten the monotheist.....

Be wary of the enchantment. Stepping in time is a good thing for the show! It's also good to step out of time from time to time. So says the mime!

Gotta clean those chimneys. Don't forget to wear your flue shoes.

John Ruskin: The Seven Lamps of Architecture - A playlist

https://youtu.be/MrtMFvHRe3o?list=PLkzfI...5iy-a6VAku

Aphorism 4. All architecture proposes an effect on the human mind, not merely a service to the human frame.

1. Architecture is the art which so disposes and adorns the edifices raised by man for whatsoever uses, that the sight of them contributes to his mental health, power and pleasure.

It is very necessary, in the outset of all inquiry, to distinguish carefully between Architecture and Building.

Lighthouses are great inventions. They lead us to safety out of terrible storms! The idea of Alexandria and its glorious library are a beacon in history for all of humanity to share. The encouragement of higher learning decreed by the Great Alexander is a worthy achievement for human beings to grow and share knowledge with each other. For me it is the single greatest endeavor for all mankind to acknowledge and glorify the great unknown. That whole idea is the greatest work of Architecture I've ever seen. Strange how it's destruction was so filled with hateful disregard. Ever since then its suppression has been filled with much prejudice. May this grand design for a city of cities be built again.

So it shall be written, so it shall be done! Yeah.......right.......lofty dreams!

He who smiles at lofty schemes. Stems the tide of broken dreams, is you.
