The masses are kept OBLIVIOUS by LIES from what would otherwise be blatantly OBVIOUS...

interestingly last night i received an email from vigilant citizen regarding an article about the a masonic/templar site in portugal, sintra. It features a photo of a statue there of hermes so I looked up hermes/hermetism. Today i discovered i had missed an email sent on the same day from Ennas substack recommending your book and substack about hermes. Brilliant!! Great to discover more inspiring folks decoding and sharing information for us all to understand with more clarity. Do not worry about the people who reject or ridicule, everyone has opportunities to shift and expand their perspectives. Big love to you guys and Enna Reittort, she is great.

Thanks Laura. Enna is a world treasure.

Unlike the big oracle centers in Greece like Delphi and Didyma, Hermes had an oracle for the common folk. You would ask a question at a Herm (a priapic rough statue with a bust of Hermes that were at every home entrance and crossroad), ask a question, maybe give Hermes a cupcake or a twinkie, then turn and enter the agora or marketplace. The first words you heard answered your question. Hermes also had a bee oracle, but there is little known about that. I get into it in the book.

It would seem your very own Geminian architecture offered an open door for the (likely ongoing), direct Hermes download as in "there was granted a ‘packed thought form’, a numinous flash of understanding the unraveling of which is this book." The fact that you ran with it (no pun intended) into the deep and treacherous waters recognized as 'unpacking the false dichotomy' is a gift that should be opened by many well after Christmas.

Thank you Ronnie. What a topic. Penetrating the nested false dichotomies and their presuppositions is indefatigable work and essential to true human freedom. So many think they are on to something by calling US Congress therepublicrat 'uniparty'. OK, as far as it goes. But then, it becomes the war of god versus satan, or good versus evil, which are religious constructs, fictions of control by a priesthood as elite as the oligarchs. 'God wins' and all that shite.

Religions--especially the Abrahamic ones--posit a false dualism that undermines the heart of our possibility for the unitive experience, the oneness of being. Heaven is always somewhere else, even if Christ is quoted as saying it is within, none of his supposed priests listen.

But the final dualities they never want you to experience are summed up in the statement from the Indian Upanishads, "tat tvam asi" literally "you are that". If you and the other are one, then who would injure themselves? The A does not equal B of Aristotle long ago made unity impossible in the west. This world of conquest and suffering has run on the logic of separation for millennia. It takes a dedication to stillness to melt away this construct, because it is we who feed and conjure it.

And the final dichotomy is separating us from ourselves, by fostering all sorts of fictive identities at odds with--or better--overwriting the true silence within from whence we emerge. The good news is that these are still human possibilities, the bad news is that everything in the mRNA devices is genetically designed to be a wedge between a designer self and our true human being-ness.

Or something like that . . .

Well said as always Steve! So much to unpack here. My main take away is, "It takes a dedication to stillness to melt away this construct, because it is we who feed and conjure it."

I feel all we really have control over is our own reaction to 'reality' however false and manipulated it is revealed to be. In addition, to keep deconstructing false narratives if that is your gift and certainly it is one of yours. So appreciated....

I'd like to think there might be a positive use of reverse DNA engineering coming as Pluto sashays into Aquarius, the sign I dub technology incorporated, to shift the mRNA narrative, along with whatever else lurks in the shadows. Magical thinking? Perhaps. Though I permit myself to conjure and feed this one construct until a better one arises.

I remember when people were decoding certain crop circles as 'fixing' our DNA a decade or more ago. It is a nice thought.

But I guess that is why I prefer to live with the ancients: Pythagoras had no DNA, nor did Lao Tse . . .

You have good taste and an unerring eye for what endures.

“When we need to comprehend what stands under the city of decaying presuppositions we inhabit...” Love this line.....
