Restoring Balance
October 25, 2020
[Memo to Myself]
This isn't about storing silver coins or canned food or getting an AK-47.
It's about saving your soul, not your skin. It's about the tendency to obsess on the New World Odor, get depressed and become unbearable.
The situation is depressing. A satanic cult controls the credit of the world and rules through myriad proxies. It is determined to destroy civilization and institute an Orwellian police state.
You spend your hours addictively watching for new developments. Your face is pressed up against the shop window of the world.
You are "externalized." You can't go into the kitchen without switching on the radio.
You try to squeeze your sustenance from the world. But much of what you imbibe is poisonous: depravity, corruption, duplicity and tragedy. (Is that the point of the mass media? To demoralize and brutalize?)
Mankind is in the grip of a diabolical force that constantly strives to legitimize itself through deception. You can't overcome this demon. But you still control your personal life. Ultimately, the battle is for the soul of humanity. Why not begin by defending your own soul?
This means erecting a wall between the soul, and the world, and establishing a balance between the sacred and the profane. You need to shut out the world (the profane) for set periods of time and focus on what inspires you. That means turning off the TV, Internet and media in general.Just as you nourish your body with food, you feed your soul with thoughts, sights and sounds. Your soul reaches out for beauty, grace, harmony, truth and goodness. You become what you think about.
What lifts your spirit? It might be a long walk, nature, hobby, sport, or music. It might be time with your family or friends. It might be the Bible, religious writing or meditation.
"Do what you love," Henry David Thoreau said. "Know your own bone; gnaw at it, bury it, unearth it, and gnaw at it still."
You agree with the mystics who say happiness is within. It involves the possession of your soul, and not wanting anything else. By looking outside your self, you displace your soul and become addicted to the thing you want. This is the source of unhappiness.
The occult elite controls us with sex and money- the North-South of the mind. The courtship stage is a period when sexual feelings are strong so two people will bond and start a family. Sex/romance were not meant to become a lifelong preoccupation and panacea.
The same is true of money. The stock market is a giant casino addicting millions. The central banking cult has unlimited funds. To make us feel good, (while it trashes civil rights and wages senseless war) it makes the market go up. To fleece us, it crashes the market. Don't be their puppet.
The diabolical powers have been here for a long time. You have discovered their existence only because they signaled their endgame on Sept. 11.
Don't let them stunt or degrade you by obsessing on their iniquity. Restore balance by attuning yourself to the things you love. Be an outpost of happiness.

Part Two: Making Your Own Heaven
The world often seems like a stuffy public toilet without ventilation. This is because Protagoras' dictum "man is the measure of all things" is the official religion.
Modern culture mostly consists of reflections of our degenerate selves, a "wilderness of mirrors" as T.S. Eliot said. We inhale our own fumes. The religion of man is "humanism "or "illuminism" which deifies man.
Plato tried to correct Protagoras. "God and not man is the measure of all things."
We didn't listen to Plato.
God is now banished from public life. When was the last time a Divine Standard was applied to anything? When is humanity's highest self ever celebrated? That would be like a breath of fresh air.
REMOVING THE NEW WORLD ODOR
This is about spiritual survival in a world gone insane.
We have a tendency to feel helpless, unable to affect faraway events. In fact, we are on the front lines. The New World Odor wants our mind and soul. We fight back by dedicating ourselves to God instead.
First we have to short-circuit their two main control systems: sex and money. We can direct our sex drive by confining it to a monogamous relationship. We can escape the money compulsion by living within our means, and disciplining ourselves so money is a minor concern.
Henry David Thoreau said, "A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to leave alone."
The truly rich man is the one who does not think about money. By this standard many billionaires are paupers. In fact, the more money a person has, the harder it is to think of anything else.
REORIENTATION
Why should we obey God? God is really the principle of our own development and the path to our happiness and fulfillment. We serve ourselves when we serve God.
God is synonymous with spiritual ideals: love, truth, justice, beauty.
Think life has no meaning? Life has intrinsic meaning when we fulfill God's purpose. We need to ask, "What does God want of me? What was I born to do?"
God speaks to us through our spirit and conscience. We don't hear Him because our minds are like mirrors facing the world. We need to turn the mirror around so it faces the soul inside and shows its back to the world.
Instead of blotting up the world, which makes us weary and sick, we focus on things that reflect our desire for purity, hope, beauty and goodness.
Instead of letting the world determine what we think (and therefore feel) we create our own world based on how we want to feel. That's what faith is all about, making spiritual reality paramount.
"I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by a conscious endeavour," Thoreau wrote in "Walden."
"It is something to carve a statue...but it is far more glorious to carve ...the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do. Every man is tasked to make his life, even in its details worthy of the contemplation of his most elevated and critical hour."
By making our thoughts conform to our soul, instead of the world, we create our own heaven. All great religions teach us to control our thoughts. Our minds are altars and our thoughts are offerings to God.
"Muddied water, let stand, becomes clear," said Lao Tzu.
In the Hindu tradition, mind discipline is called "Raja Yoga." By learning to meditate, we learn to have constructive thoughts. The key is to treat your thoughts as though they were a stranger's, and edit them. If you master this skill of detachment, you will never be depressed, never go mad for the simple reason that you will not be identified with a negative mental complex.
Christians might maintain their vigilance by asking, " What would Christ do? What would Christ think?" Christianity, in a nutshell, is the imitation of Christ.
Prayer is another form of meditation. Whatever our opinion of Timothy Leary, he had the right idea in High Priest: "Prayer is the compass, the gyroscope, the centering device to give you direction, courage and trust..."
A CONCENTRATION CAMP IN THE MIND
How long has it been since you felt happy? Yes, it rankles that pathetic scoundrels control the world. But man is not the measure of all things. No matter what happens on earth, God is the only Reality. The earth is like a postage stamp. Look beyond man and focus on spiritual reality: beauty, goodness, justice and love.
We place ourselves in concentration camps before they're even built. The Illuminati is not likely to shatter the illusion of freedom. There is no better way to control people. But even if they did, we must be capable of joy even then. God is Joy and God is far greater than man.
The key is to ignore the crowd, which is manipulated by the Illuminati. It's good to be aware but we do not dance to tunes tapped out by degenerates. We do not gaze at mirrors made by midgets.
The words of poet Henry More (1614-1687) are also relevant.
"When the inordinate desire after knowledge of things was allayed in me, and I aspired after nothing but purity and simplicity of mind, there shone in me daily a greater assurance than ever I could have expected, even of those things which before I had the greatest desire to know."
Retiring from the world periodically ensures that we don't forfeit the only sphere where we still have power. It enables us to make a wholesome contribution to society.
As Paul Elmer More (1864-1937) said, "A day that makes me happy makes me wise."
Let's master the art of happiness.

Don't badmouth AK47s, canned food and silver coins. I think of all the mystics murdered by savages, and regard practical preparations as having considerable value. Shotguns and pistols have their place, too.
David said (September 10, 2018):
Mankind is satanically possessed. There are actual satanic entities possessing us. Unless one directly reduces/dis-empowers that darkside force, there will be no change. Thought adjustment from negative to positive changes nothing. In fact, this technique is just social engineering so that we won't look at the unpleasant truths that are ubiquitous in this darkside-created and darkside-supporting system. This positivist nonsense has evolved into mind-control wherein remembering only positive things is being peddled. Positivism is not the language of the soul: truth is! Facing the truth then moving on is what must be done not just dwelling on your warm fuzzy moments. The system was created by the darkside elites for chosen darksiders, not the poor ones. Only the blessed of the bankers are not engulfed by a plethora of negative events and tidings, as was the intent. Negative things are normal for this system. If you hate negative things, fight back and create a soul-based system.
The darkside possession operates a darkside engine within. This engine produces all that is evil and undesirable in any person. This engine has to be noticed and fought with techniques which dismantle it. It begins with destroying the bad bacteria, viruses and fungi in the body. No vaccines. There's the plot! Positive thoughts, attitude adjustments and affirmations are self=programming techniques which are like spinning a top in mud. The root cause is safely left alone, as was the intention of the social engineers. The darkside downloads and prints hell on earth. The soul downloads and prints heaven on earth. You have to destroy the darkside (or conquer it) for you (soul) to take over. Then all the knowledge, bliss, detachment and other good things flow from within. The soul already has all good qualities built into it. HEAVEN flows naturally from it with no effort required. All the negativity of the darkside, which you claim to be yours, disappears. All the darkside obsessions like love of money, love of power, controlling others, ego-building, material accumulation etc disappears. A calm, intelligent, awake, and beautiful soul replaces the dark side as boss of the body. It begins downloading and printing heaven on earth immediately, even by just being here. The darkside elites have to be defeated in order to destroy their possessing mechanism, and their darkside-rearing system. The battle is on!

Have copied your “Surviving the NWO” as it is beautiful. Keats said that “beauty is truth, truth is beauty.”
I read you and I get informed by some one who is 69 yrs like me and experienced women like me. I have been dragged into court by emotional, irrational women and have twice nearly lost everything. But I know money is not everything, so I do my art to the best of my ability, go to the gym and eat good healthy food. I like helping people my age who have lost their way. I give the encouragement by example. We do forget that God is love and that is really all we have got. I want to be happy for my remaining years and have learnt somewhat to cope with all the societal despair around me. Maybe it is too late to defeat the banker, Illuminati tyranny, but we can, as you say, take control of our own minds and not cave in.
Andrew said (September 10, 2018):
You say, "God is synonymous with spiritual ideals: love, truth, justice, beauty. “
No, Lord God is synonymous with worship and sacrifice acceptable according to His only Son’s sacrifice and His begotten Church meaning His Bride.
Truth is Jesus Christ. And His beauty is the Grace that He bestows to the Faithfully accepted brethren.
Would you say for example that Burt Reynolds is in Heaven? And would you bet your life on that? I wouldn’t. He’s therefore in Hell!

Henry, both candidates continue to pump the bellows of the furnace that fuels the fan of fire of this country's already existing conflagration as the "elites" maintain their march on the path of total destruction as they attempt to establish their New World Order; even my own fellow Christians have been hypnotized and swallow the Kool Aid all day long, believing that God has chosen Trump and he alone will provide us with the answers and solutions. Hillary is no better choice.
God already told us (Christians what to do) in His word, the Holy Bible:
8 It is better to take refuge in the LORD Than to trust in man. 9 It is better to take refuge in the LORD Than to trust in princes.…(Psalm 118:8:
3 Do not trust in princes, In mortal man, in whom there is no salvation. 4 His spirit departs, he returns to the earth; In that very day his thoughts perish.…(Psalm 146:3)
Bottom line is TRUST NOT IN MAN'S POLITICAL SYSTEM, WHO HAS NO FAITH IN GOD TO SOLVE IT' PROBLEMS OTHER THAN GOD!

AZ said (October 26, 2016):
Yeah Henry, that’s what is all about! We can stop the battle for our soul by taking control of it ourselves, by filling it with light, love and laughter from out it’s own inner spiritual source. It’s all about finding a balance between the inner and outer world. When we live according to our spiritual compass this will change the world around us. The world around us will reflect what we radiate into it.
The Dutch word for conscience is ‘geweten’ which means already knowing. So if we live according to what we already know deep inside our soul, the battle for that soul has been won. The metaphor of Plato’s cave shows what the essence of our indoctrinated reality is. We are seeing the shadows projected into the cave of our subjective and limited reality from the outside world as real. But if we step out of that cave in the nurturing sunlight of the real reality, we unite ourselves with Source.

This election isn't like the previous ones. Whomever wins, it's just the beginning something else. You don't think that now that so many people are finally off their ass they're going to sit back down?
There's been a lot of talk about 'SHTF' for the last 20 years. But it's already happening. Things won't 'go back to normal' because there's no normal to go back to. This difference is, this time everybody knows that - and they resent the hell out of it.

The other day at work an immigrant worker came who works for a government sub-contractor in charge of inspections holds power over us. This guy has more addictions than a homeless man and is very jealous of white men (he f***s only white women). He is everything the NWO stands for. Out of jealousy of all the productive white guys around him who wouldn't pay attention to him, he exploded into a frothing rage of false accusations that took a half hour of our time. Thankfully I understood throughout that whole time that it was demonic, and Christ protects me. It's taken many years to understand that, partly in due to this website.
