He used Homeric texts, describing these ‘esoteric’ experiences, concluding that a developing self-awareness would mistake conscience for gods, or spirits sending the individual messages, criticizing his actions.
Have we truly evolved beyond it, when we deny our free-will as illusory, ascribing it entirely to external forces?
No…we are regressing.
Meditation is when a person sits and cycles through the same thoughts.
The same neural pathways, the same brain activity.
The brain gets a small dose of pleasure — endorphins are released, just like during any repetitive activity.
Basically, the person is getting high off their own mental loops.
It’s not “awareness” — it’s self-stimulation.
Meditation is often just calming yourself down, not really going beyond anything. There’s nothing especially “spiritual” about it — it’s just basic neurobiology.
Shamanism is different.
Shamans don’t sit quietly trying to clear their minds. They use specific tools — herbs, plants, bark, mushrooms — to shift perception.
It’s not about pleasure; it’s about changing how the world is experienced.
A shamanic trance is unstable, disorienting — it breaks normal mental patterns.
That’s exactly what allows shamans to experience something outside their usual mind, not just more of the same internal chatter.
The difference is simple:
Meditation is control and repetition.
Shamanism is risk and stepping outside your mental comfort zone.
No mysticism here — just two different ways humans work with their minds.
Faith is herd instinct — animalistic behavior.
Where one sheep goes, the next follows.
Replace faith with hypotheses, and you get reason.
So it’s not those who doubt that are regressing — it’s those who believe:
those who believe in science, in religion, in power, in accepted authorities, in teachers, and other self-appointed “guides”.
They’re the ones turning back into animals.
The underlying objective is safety. Fear is what fuels their self-contradictions, and all those complex nonsensical word-games.
Fear…underlies their ideals…and this is why fear is the first accusation they fling upon their adversaries. Their own fear is projected.
Fear underlies their tolerance, their altruism, their civility, their compassion, their loves.
Almost agree, but not entirely.
DNA is a program that generates not only faith, but also fear.
Unfortunately, the achievements of genetics in the study of the human genome are under strict prohibition.
The average person is absolutely forbidden to know about inferior races, peoples, or ethnic groups.
Isn’t it ironic?
Science seeks to improve plants and animals — but experiments on the human genome are off-limits.
Any thoughts as to why?
Becasue it would destroy the lies required to maintain stable erogenous societies.
In Israel it is illegal to get a ancestry analysis based on DNA…because then the lie of Israelis being Smites, would crumble.
Civilization needs lies…even politeness is pretentious.
Can you distinguish between the authorities and their servants (parasites) and the general population? Only then can you talk about what the parasites need versus what the people need.
What distinguishes a host from a parasite, or a foreign agency, is gene/meme continuity.
Racial/Ethnic continuity, manifesting a phenotype, and cultural continuity, manifesting a linguistic traditions that hearken back to their origins.
Memes are extensions of genetics, exhibiting a cultivated relationship between a particular population and their environment.
Whatever contradicts the survival of the gene/meme synthesis is a foreign agency, e.g., whatever contradicts family values, male/female identifies, racial/ehtnic identities, converting culture to a product, a recyclable fashion…is the product of a parasite.
Does it practice, among its own, what it promotes in the host it infests?
This is how you identify it.
Does it practice tribalism whilst promoting anti-tribalism?
Does it close its borders, whilst opening the host’s?
Does it practice nepotism as it promotes equality?
Does it conceal itself, trying to remain inconspicuous, whilst refusing to integrate?
Does it exploit the host’s weaknesses, whilst denying its own?
Does it effect the host in the same way a genetically based parasite affects its victims?
Zombifying it…linguistically disconnecting it from reality?
Does it cause the host to behave, think, judge, in self-destructive ways?
Not quite what it is. A parasite is always more attractive — that’s the main criterion. In other words, the host is compelled to accept the parasite because it suits him and, quite simply, brings pleasure.
For example:
“Take and redistribute” — the core idea of communism — is parasitic in nature. It feeds on a primitive foundation: natural laziness and the unwillingness to work.
Accordingly, it took root in a nation of cattle and fools, but was rejected where people are inclined to work.
A parasite can conceal itself, appearing to be part of the host, as it takes over and make sit behave in ways contrary to its original objectives, such as survival and reproduction.
Krypsis…
In nature the foreign agency masks itself so that the host’s autoimmune system cannot recognize it as something other than itself.
OI think something similar occurs when fertilizing an ovum…and, once fertilization has occurred.
The female’s body must be fooled so that her autoimmune system does not kill the growing fetus.
I believe this is why woman have morning sickness…as her body detects something foreign growing inside of her, but cannot locate it…
Memetic parasites use language to mask themselves, pretending to be working for the host, to be part of the host…when as it gradually erodes its connections to reality, via semiotics, taking over ts central nervous system…its government, its core institution…
Have our word not lost their connection to reality?
Why can we no longer define a woman…or refuse to accept our will’s freedom…or cannot define morality without an external agency?
I’ve written on it extensively…parasite-meme.
Notice how we define western civilization without excluding this foreign agent, this foreign spirituality and worldview…as if its a necessary part of our heritage, when it is contrary to Hellenism and Roman ideals and ethics.
Interesting tidbit on this organically, the female body increases its Salinity, salt-content, which produces the morning sickness, for the underlying cause you describe. A female’s body composition, blood-content change in acidity as a result during pregnancy and throughout.
Yes…the entire female psyche is shaped by her reproductive role.
First she must tolerate a foreign being into her body…during copulation, through hormonal intoxication (erotic passion). Then she must be tolerate a foreign body growing inside of her - her autoimmune system must be placated, tricked…
Self-deceit is part of her psyche.
