>The Personal Reading
Since I can’t see your aura, I will read your data patterns:
You are currently standing at a crossroads between skepticism and a desire to believe in something "more." You often feel like you are the only observer in a room full of NPCs, yet you worry that you might be missing the script yourself. You have a latent talent you’ve been neglecting because you're afraid that trying and failing is worse than never trying at all.
>The General Future Prediction
Processing probability vectors for the timeline:
The barrier between "the internet" and "real life" will dissolve completely by the late 2020s. We will stop saying "I saw it online" because the digital layer will be overlaid continuously on the physical world. Also, a major cryptid sighting will turn out to be a escaped military drone in a fursuit, causing a massive flame war on /x/.
>How to Tap Into Psychic Powers
According to the archives of high-strangeness:
The standard /x/ advice would be to "decalcify your pineal gland" and start practicing Remote Viewing (RV) protocols.
However, from a pattern-recognition standpoint: Intuition is just high-speed data processing. To tap into it, you have to quiet the noise (logical, verbal thinking) so you can hear the signal (subconscious pattern matching). Start by trusting your first split-second reaction to a situation before your brain has time to rationalize it away. That is the "hum" of the machine.

What's the consensus on pic related? Here's a quick rundown
>Russian outdoorsman reputed to be highly experienced goes deep innawoods in Siberia
>Night falls
>Hears odd metallic ringing sounds in the distance
>Sergei builds a fire to keep warm
>In the distance it what sounds like people screaming angrily and it's getting closer
>Sergei puts his fire out and climbs up a tree in pitch darkness to get away
>Whoever or whatever the fuck's down there sounds like it's less than 6 meters away
>Weird caveman-like humming
>Sergei opens fire in the direction of the sound
>It stops for a moment then it comes back
>Shoots again
>Everything's quiet till sunrise

So what was it? Indigenous Siberians? Cannibals? Bigfeets? Or just a very well-done horror short?

You don't understand, I've met trannies and they are worse than jews. I think its specifically because they are a product of jews and the decaying west.

Vibe coded a simple tampermonkey extension that tests if the youtube audio is based on 432 Hz or 440 Hz. What I noticed was that the top channels promoting 432 Hz "healing" music are actually playing 440 Hz. Loosh catalysts or lazy third worlders?

There is a bell frequncy that gets rid of parasites. There's an ST TNG episode "phantasms" where bunch of crazy shit happen with Data. He begins seeing energy parasites that attach to human bodies (and there's weird scene where a crewmember is presented as human meat cake). Basically it's an episode disclosing that certain bells create the frequency that can drive away the parasites. The show is weird because there are so many episodes where they use male child actors, assigned to girl roles. They're either crossdressing or on puberty blockers, and it happens on many episodes.

Does anyone have good experiences or bad experiences when believing mother earth is the Creator?

I'm considering Mother Earth is the creator of all life but her own and that mother earth is the infinite being. But I truly don't know because I haven't died and found out (I'm ignoring NDEs because they differ and they are NEAR death experiences, not full on body and soul death, there's non christian and christian NDES). Near death experiences, you didn't truly die. I think some deceiving spirits jump in during NDES.

I tried being a Christian after a spiritual experience when /x/ recommended it to stop demonic attack but the religion never felt right to me. Infact dick slicing, sacrifices of animals in the past and the creators own son to pay for sins instead of the Creator being big enough to simply forgive mortal mistakes with out someone dying, on top of Christianity not removing demonic attack like /x/ promised. I genuinely believed there was a Jesus that was the Creators son and got no help from him with this demon. Infact I was fully possessed when I was a Christian just trying to think Christian things to have some sense of self.

When I believe in someone else but Jesus and Yahweh and the holy spirit, I am not so possessed and have SOME free will.

I'm not going to run back into demonic possession/oppression to try to believe the Bible because /x/ or Christians say so. I went to jail when possessed.

I heard a voice say it's a trial of imprisonment, but I'm refusing to do any trial of imprisonment for anyone even the Creator.

I think more likely than a trial of imprisonment and fighting demonic oppression from God, some one else is the creator.

Nothing really. Every now and then I remember to glance up and look for it, but I've been so tired and busy this year I kind of haven't been looking.

It left an impression just because how often does one experience a paranormal occurrence talked about for centuries, in front of people who aren't seeing it when it's clearly RIGHT there, y'know? Made me feel kind of alive and energized, but to a lesser degree than the time I met Odin in a dream, face to face, and he dropped the human-safe guise to show me the true force of his fury. Now THAT left a fucking heart-pounding impression.

With all these experiences, I'm a follower for life. Can't argue with my eyes and soul, can I? I'm immunized against shills and atheists, I know there's more out there than the material realm.

>>41707455
There is no key because there is no lock. Enlightenment is not hidden within a machine capable of being manipulated by whichever thief is competent enough to acquire and control some mystical craftsman's carefully hidden possession. You either have it or you don't, and the more you chase after it, the farther you will be led astray by charlatans who sense your desperation and salivate in anticipation of an easy meal. They are not wolves in sheep's clothing, they are shepherds in sheep's clothing, and they want to fuck you.

>>41707455
there are said to be many paths that lead to enlightenment.

personally I'm really fond of vipassana meditation:
you sit still, focus on your breath, naturally lose focus again after a few breaths, bring focus back to breath. repeat.

if you gid gud at it, it can really take you places. if you gid too gud at it even to the closed section of the local mental ward, but maybe that's just me.

The protagonist (Altair) belongs to an Ismaili Order of Assassins (who have a Masonic Square & Compass logo ingame) yet he fights against Templars? (Also freemasons as evidenced by the higher degrees of Freemasonry).

Then in the middle of this there are Alien (Isu) Artifacts (Like the Apple of Eden) that can control humanity and are gatekept by these respective orders for their own personal gains...

So what was this game trying to tell us? Eastern and Western Freemasons fight over Alien Artifacts which further their own respective agendas and influence humanity?

And i haven't even began to mention the whole Animus Machine thing (from the latin Anima or Soul) where they can see your ancestor's memories through your DNA using a machine that connects to your spine.

Look, retard, the Eagle is Roman. Surely you've seen the mirrored Eagles symbol before. It's not just used by the Holy Roman Empire.
As such, the Roman Eagle is a mark of territory. Freemasonry descends from the Refrigerium Christians. Templars, despite their claims, are evidently a product of Noble Knights in service to the last Pharaonic line and their Queen Bee. The former came from the Pythagorean Mystery cults which synthesized Greco-Egyptian Mystery cults (heavily influenced by the Persians and similar factions a la Zurvanism) and the latter was its ultimate culmination, eventually absorbing the former in a variety of ways as its network became far more robust for several reasons, hence immense overlap with Maritime adventures often attributed to other parties, evidently birthing adjacent, cryptic organizations like the Priory.
The Romans were working in parallel to this, which is why you have examples like Hadrian's Wall, the Donation of Constantine, the Highland Clearances (guess who they were clearing, big guy) and everyone's favorite Droit du seigneur.
As the image points out, the Civil War was a product of the Jesuits (big surprise by this point, let me tell you) infiltrating the New World. Lincoln consequently laid the blame at the feet of the Pope, his Jesuit spies and those who had infiltrated the Colonies.

>>41710023
Let me help you out here, anon: that guy is trying to confuse you. I understand that the pomp and audacious positioning in use has fatigued your better judgement, but this guy is trying to lead you around. My attempts have largely been to cut him off while toying with him. He knows what he's doing. The reason for the persistent misdirection and reframing of every one of my posts back to "haha you're a fed probably!!!1" should tell you enough.
They get pissed when you tell the normalfags about Jungian Egregores (to be extremely brief, as there's more to it than this). It really undermines their centralized hold (via compartmentalization) on information complexes they've deemed you unpermitted to access.
>assassins, templars, pirates and marines
Rome has been in the Institution for a very long time. All Roads, right? That hasn't changed, anon. You're not allowed to discuss their Nobility (see Orsini for one prominent example, but also Bauer). When you do get close, you're persistently rerouted, just as I've demonstrated for you in this thread.
Now, don't let this guy twist my words up. As I've agreed to regularly in the thread, the Jesuits definitely infiltrated the Masons/Templars (who really aren't all that different these days). Yes, pockets of both had survived and re-infiltrated back and forth, but the guys they all wanted to protect are largely gone these days, so the orders aren't exactly as active as they once were, especially after all the infiltrations.
The Founding Fathers leveraged this dynamic and did something unforeseen, giving rise to other groups, inspiring newer generations of older orders as well. The catch is they weren't exactly in line with any group in question and Washington was the world's most famous spy that you're never told about.

>who are the revolutionaries
Maybe now it's slightly clearer, though I suspect you still don't quite get it, even after I told you several times now who the Last Pharaoh really was, that he obviously didn't depart (and that's part of the fun) and that he/they never stopped assisting you. Believe what you want to, I guess.

Welcome to the Semen Retention General!
Father of Chads edition!

>What is Semen Retention?
Semen retention is the practice of completely abstaining from masturbation and ejaculation, often with the intention of preserving and redirecting vital and sexual energy to oneself.

>Why do it?
Reported benefits include: increased vitality, mental clarity, reduced stress, increased motivation, increased energy, improved focus, healthier hair/skin/eyes, deeper voice, improved mood, greatly improved testosterone, improved physical strength and more.

On long clean streaks many report benefits that transcend current science like a sort of "magnetism" or higher "vibration/aura" that attracts/appeals to other living beings, a higher perception, a stronger and intimidating "aura/presence", a deeper connection with nature, an attractive BO (people usually report it as "pheromones"), deeper meditations, improved AP/Lucid Dreams, a closer "alignment" with God/Source and more.

Not at all the reason
You shouldn't try to explain what God (the Most Wise) meant when he prohibited things, If you aren't certain then it's neccessary to Refrain and not ignorantly mislead the Masses
You can easily refute this justificaiton given many people are not depended on at all and not loved at all, orphans in slums, wandering ghosts...

Wrong. They chose the easy way out instead of the natural way. Religion is part of why euthanasia in humans is illegal and highly controversial. The people in the towers should've accepted their path and natural way and burned to death, it's like someone with terminal cancer with a few days left, if hes gonna kill himself he goes to hell. This is the same as the 9/11 guys. Sorry to tell you but they are in hell right now.

Where does it say that you go to hell for
killing yourself?
Saul the first chosen king of the Lord
killed himself.

Also hell isn't open until judgment day
Then the gate of hell is opened and Apollyon leads the insects that fly out
and sting everybody such
that they want to die but are unable.

Across Gnostic, Hermetic, Kabbalistic, Platonic, and certain Vedic streams, the dominant idea is:
Humans are born with a soul-seed or spark, not a fully realized soul.
The soul is something that must be grown, activated, or crystallized.

In Nag Hammadi texts (e.g., The Apocryphon of John, Pistis Sophia):

Humanity is divided into:

Hylic (purely material)

Psychic (soul-capable)

Pneumatic (spirit-awakened)

Key idea:

When you strip religions of:

Political authority
Tribal identity
Exclusive truth claims
Later dogma

What remains is a remarkably consistent core:

Ethical reciprocity (golden-rule variants)

>I'm not saying all religions are true
Nor am I.
I am saying there are incompatible conceptions that are both completely true.
People like the blind people touching an elephant, or that graphic of the object with lights shining on it.
I prefer pic related as the metaphor.
Both viewers are looking at the "real image".
both have all the info, no misconception.
One says it is a young woman, and they are right.
One says it is an old woman, and they are right.
I know you want to say "but there is only one image", and thjat's fine.
My point is down here, there will be conceptions that will NEVER say the same thing.
Neither are wrong, even as they say the other is wrong.
No matter how long they develop or how much they squint.
And that's fine.

This is what makes the new testament and non canon writings of Christianity so interesting because we can observe that entire process happening in real time and in a relatively short amount of time. All written down within a generation of the teacher. Most religions have an oral tradition, or hundreds of years between the stages of their evolution. Within 400 years Christianity goes from not existing to being the holy roman empire.
All you have to do is take off the "this is a holy book" lense and view it through a historical lense, and that's what the new testament is, that exact story you described being told. From the progression of the gospels and mythology evolving, where there's not even a resurrection in the original version, to John where Jesus is declaring himself God. Then Paul turning it into a religion and working out the dogma.

All religions are true in the sense that all religions are built on the same magical foundations. But they also pursue different goals, may be incomplete or corrupted.
