Beyond Text: Esotericism

 

          A fool has no delight in understanding,
          But in expressing his own heart.

                                      Proverbs 18:2   NKJV 

_____________________R____________________

 

Let us begin with a little from the lighter side of things…

An atheist was seated next to a young girl on a plane. He turned to her and said, “Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with a fellow passenger.”

The young girl, who had just started to read a book, replied to the total stranger, “What would you like to talk about?”

“Oh, I don’t know,” said the atheist. How about why there is no God, or no Heaven or Hell, or no life after death?” as he smiled smugly.

“Okay,” she said. “Those could be interesting topics but let me ask you a question first.”

She went on, “A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff – grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, but a horse produces clumps.”

She then asked the atheist, “Why do you suppose that is?”

The atheist, visibly surprised by the young girl’s intelligence thinks about it and replies, “Hmmmm…I have no idea!”

To which the young girl replies, “Do you REALLY feel qualified to discuss God, Heaven and Hell, or life after death, when you don’t know shit?”

It works great with politicians as well.

The esoteric realm is a dimension often devoid of any “approved” texts, exact protocols, or written directions. Given that, without knowing what is what here, it can be a dangerous “place”; an individual can go astray, can fall into error. Thus, one proceeds at his or her own risk. 

Ideally, if one aspires to tread into esotericism, one should have an experienced guide. And yet, we might stumble into it, due to a current lack of competent, available guides. This means we must use our own best efforts to navigate it instead. 

That has been this writer’s life way, namely, bumbling along while hoping to be graced by a certain “serendipitous synchronicity.” Others, too, may have immersed themselves in what many consider a treacherous path simply because it is what they have always done. 

I would describe this as jumping in headfirst and trusting in the Good Lord to be your guide. Right, wrong, or just plain reckless, whatever your opinion, it is a courageous experiential path to choose, don’t you think? 

This realm has been hidden; what is hidden is branded “occult” and the word “occult”carries a lot of, mostly negative, baggage. 

Protecting the general public is honorable; but “protecting them” by keeping the otherwise worthy from knowledge is being a “nanny” to another’s free will (and is close to being a “ninny”). If we fear, and thus avoid, we stunt our own development; our minds narrow into solipsism.

 

_______________R______________ 

 

I don’t pretend to be an expert esotericist, only a man who stands for letting people freely choose their path. If you are interested in esoterica then I present some videos below for your consideration. Just always keep in mind that any knowledge can be used for good or for ill; so that whatever you learn, may you train yourself to always seek truth, goodness and beauty, and to abide by the Golden Rule as you go. Go forth to learn for the greater valor of our beloved Godhead consisting of our Creator God the Father, Jesus (Yashua), the Son of God, and the Holy Spirit and, of course the love of others as well as ourselves. 

          This first "tiptoe through the tulips" of esoteric modeling steeped in physics is fascinating:  

Itzhak Bentov: They Silenced Him… But His Wife Made Sure the Truth Came Out

VIEWER BEWARE: Be careful here with Sepehr the anthropologist. He doesn't offer much in the way of discernment between good vs. evil esotericism.  

Robert Sepehr: Gnostic Order of the Essenes 

Yet what he does offer provides a baseline of sorts... 

RobertSepehr: The Seven Great Hermetic Principles 

          After that immersion, then come back down to Earth and listen to "current events":

Riccardo Bosi, Michael Jaco, JMC & Derek Johnson: White Hats Unite—The Battle Will Soon Begin!

We've gone from "dipping our toes" to perhaps dunking our heads in a tub of water as if we are bobbing for apples (the "apples" being "the esoteric." I leave you to your own discernment, readers.

Now let us end on the sexy side of things...

One final but cogent point. When you heard Robert Sepehr speaking about “sex magick” in association with debauched Aleister Crowley—and refusing to call this sordid fellow out as a depraved Satanist—you might go away with the wrong idea. 

What has happened to heterosexual sex is sad. What I mean is that that men have not been properly informed, properly educated. Men are only taught to  get their rocks off with any woman willing to let them. That is what is called “testosterone sex” and very much misses the boat. 

The good news is there exists real sex wherein lovemaking can go on for hours instead of a wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am quickie. Rushed like that, women hardly get a chance to warm up and enjoy themselves, at least as much as they ptherwise would, could and should! 

Real sex consists in stimulating the mutual production of the so-called “love hormone,” oxytocin, in each partner. It is actually a learned discipline wherein a man learns to retain his essence, his sperm, while still having orgasm(s). Thus, he is not suddenly done upon ejaculation and that’s it, as most men think it goes, even those who may be quite talented at foreplay. 

Attached is a link to an entertaining and informative guide to this sort of sex, i.e., REAL sex—the kind that reaches out into the cosmos, that allows lovers to taste the universal elixir that should not be missed during this lifetime on planet Earth. Read Romance to 120 by Matt Cook and discover true love, oh human beans! Who would have thought that esotericism could be so fun?!

Finally, it just takes experience, sometimes laced with stupidity; it takes education, including the hard knocks; and it takes discernment, unguided by “those who know better”—to be a human being these days. Embrace liberty, love, a longing for a better life away from the boom, boom, boom of the same old lies that surround us.

John Lee Hooker sings about being a hobo:

The monks take vows of poverty—so do hobos, sorta. But then those old days of suffering saints (and maybe even bluesmen) is over, isn't it? That is, as Bro. Jack, O4B, PT has been preaching: it’s a big beautiful world out there, as it is “in” here. It’s high time to enjoy being “in” but not “of” this old planet Earth and the Great Beyond. Amen, brother, Amen, sister, Amen, y'all!

...and old Emmylou Harris sings on, about being Together Again

And in the end, isn't it all about being together with "your better half"? Sho'nuff, honey child—yeah, I'm sure enough all right—SURE ENUFF!

Angels/Demons/Aliens ~ Grace/Sin/Knowledge, Part III

 

PART III 

In this final Part III installment, the threads in the title will hopefully come together: Angels/Demons/Aliens ~ Grace/Sin/Knowledge <= A calculus complex yet as easy as 1-2-3; yes, it’s that age-old, three-fold, tri-partite rule, together with a mirroring of what each entity offers you. 

Let us begin with simply stating that human beings are, first and foremost, spiritual entities by reason of the immortal soul “within and about” each physical creature—and with reasoning minds infusing an ever expanding consciousness. As such, we cannot die; we live forever. Oh we “lay down our bones” yet that is not the end of the life, if “life” is defined in its nobler sense and not simply its biological endpoint (total cessation of a beating heart, breathing lungs and an active brain). The knowledge of the mind also survives the laying down of the bones, as does the soul’s free will. 

When Fr. Ripperger describes demons as possessing knowledge and will, that observation is telling. The original, high order demons are fallen angels. One might then conclude that both demons and angels share this possession of knowledge and will in common, though the former uses it for ill and the latter for good. Personally, I believe that some souls, perhaps most, reincarnate here on Earth. But we’ll leave that discussion for another time. 

After birth, the important first duty of each human being is to learn—to become educated in some manner, about what has come before. And what has come before each baby comes along in physical form is both God and the true history of the planet. A child needs to understand what it means to be a creature created by God and how to live according to God’s natural law. Integral to that knowledge is knowing that he or she can communicate directly with God through prayer. Thus, a child learns how to pray and, in short, learns to seek God via truth, goodness and beauty throughout his or her life. 

A child normally learns this under the direction of parents, though not always. (Even adults can come to understand Faith, through a long life of trial and error—and honing one’s discernment along the way.) But receiving direction and guidance is key in order to become properly grounded as soon as possible. Of course if the adult figure is deficient in some way, the learning, too, may be deficient—for sure, there's a lot of that going around!—as it is absorbed during that formation period of early childhood. 

In any event, as a child grows and matures into an adult, experiential lessons in God-based ethics and morality continue, accelerated by reading and other methods of learning. 

Along with this proper grounding comes a sense of its anti-thesis—of evil, which can also coalesce into our being. These two “forces” are typified in those meta-creatures called angels and demons. As we mature we ideally learn the difference between the loving grace of angels and the evil of sins propagated by demons. Also ideally, we learn to pray to our tri-partite Godhead—our Creator, through God's only begotten  Son, Jesus Christ, while seeking to be worthy of the grace of the Holy Spirit. And what, in essence, do we pray for?: mostly to be thankful, and also for protection and for guidance all through our journey through this Earthly realm. 

Yet planet Earth is not some finite place, alone in the universe or universes. Glancing up at the stars at night should give us some notion of the vastness of creation. It should fill us with optimism that among those many stars above revolve other planets. And it begs the question: What is to prevent life, other than Earthly life, from existing “out there”? Or perhaps: What is to prevent Earthlings from venturing out there? 

Knowing the incalculable omnipotence and wisdom of Almighty God, a little voice within asks: Why, oh, why would a loving Creator decide to begin and end creation on just one, single planet? 

Thus we come to the subject of “Aliens”—those off-world creatures, extraterrestrials who arrived here from other planets, whether long ago or recently. Unlike Earthlings, aliens are not bound by that same consensual reality and culture trance. Theirs is a wholly different matrix of norms, customs, and an obviously advanced technological knowledge—one that enabled them to traverse space and come to planet Earth in the first place. 

Fr. Ripperger discounts aliens simply as demons in disguise. Very likely some demons masquerade as such. Does that then mean that all aliens are trickster demons? While the good padre is highly schooled in theology, philosophy, exorcism, and psychology it seems he is lacking in his off-world studies, often referred to as “exopolitics.” 

Staying with our fine art depictions, have a look at the upper corners of this Frescoe of the Crucifixion from the 14^th Century in the Visoki Decani Orthodox Christian Monastery in Kosovo, Serbia. What have we here:

Or look high in the sky in Domenico Ghirlandaio’s Madonna with St. Giovannino from the 15^th Century, and notice the hunter and his dog down below. The dog seems to be barking at the airborne anomaly: 

Also in the 15^th Century there is a painting of the “Legend of the Snow in August” involving Pope Liberius back in 356 A.D., set before the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome, by Masolino da Panicale:

 

I don’t intend to dwell here much. I’ll only implore you, readers, to explore aliens on your own. Suffice it to say that, just as with Earthlings, aliens also come in both good and evil varieties. The evil ones (e.g., the Draco "Reptilians") are to a large extent being eradicated along with the rest of the elite fraudsters who have been peddling their brand of Devil-God here since the days of Babylon. But there are indeed good aliens (e.g., the Nordics). These good aliens are sometimes referred to as working with us in the Galactic Alliance—a kind of enlarged circle of the White Hat Alliance that is using the Q team and Donald Trump to push their agenda forward. 

Be careful when researching this area. A lot of bum steers and fanciful tales pervade the internet. Just become aware of a few happenings and things will start to percolate, For example: 

•  The work of the Nazis in the 1940s in the area of flying saucers entered high gear when they stole the work of Baron Wihlem Spottenheim and his team who were in contact with the Vril. See, Sean-David Morton, Interlude: The Vril-Damen Diaries (2023)

•  The story of Vice Admiral Richard E. Byrd, Jr., who organized the ill-fated Operation HIGHJUMP expedition to Antarctica just after WWII, presents a sort of follow-up to that era. And again, note that The Secret Space Program came out of that era. It has made immense strides and is light years ahead of what is reported from the smoke and mirrors reported by NASA. Again see, Sean-David Morton, Sands of Time, Vol. 1 (The Tempus Fugit Chronicles) (2013). 

I’ll mention here a few worthy names: my current favorite is "Gene Decode." There are also a few others: the oft flakey but sincere Ismael Perez, and, before you go off on a tangent trying to follow Dr. Steven M. Greer, check in with a few old stand-bys: Richard Dolan, Dr. Michael Salla, Jacque Vallée, and Phillip J. Corso, who headed up a military team that reverse engineered artifacts recovered from the downed UFO at Roswell, New Mexico. 

Go chase it all down dear readers and see for yourselves. What we get from “Aliens” is knowledge, not only advanced technology but perspectives from the socio-cultural sensibilities in the form of advanced consciousness thriving on other planets, in other solar systems, even from other galaxies…

Alien benefactors were here a million years ago just as they are today, keeping their watch and helping to guide humanity here on Earth in a brotherly, Godly way. Yes, Fr. Ripperger, aliens can also be angelic, bringing us that grace-at-the-encounter as well as special knowledge. 

Above all and everything, God gave each creature (from whatever planet) free will to go with the flow of love and grace, or to choose sin and the horror of an evil path. Using our minds we make choices; wrong choices might lead us astray. But such choices can none-the-less end up teaching us hard-won lessons that can render us all the more firmly bolstered upon our path toward living in Faith and in God’s grace. 

So be tenacious, forbearing, persistent—persevere in life as you study and research all that is around you. Experiment, explore, be adventurous, as you seek out truth, goodness, and beauty; as you look for the God who created you, who helped give you an identity and a mission to discover here in your Earthly life. Don’t stay stuck in any old world when there are so many worlds, such varied realities from which to choose. 

And as you go “sliding down the razor blade of life” (Tom Lehrer) just keep the Faith of your Fathers burning in your heart and soul. Use your God-given mind to make wise choices. And when you fail—and you are bound to fail from time to time—just pick yourself up and roll with the punches, with the hard knocks—and you can’t help but succeed. Steady yourself to each task at hand and you will triumph over every challenge; all obstacles that might otherwise hold you back from discovering who you are and where you want to go while you are in this old body of yours will melt away like yesterday’s snow. 

"What a magical and mysterious adventure life is!" he said, licking his chops...

Angels/Demons/Aliens ~ Grace/Sin/Knowledge, Part II

 

Part II

Planet Earth. The world. Or is planet Earth “the world”?

If you are an astronaut or a jet pilot, the Earth could be your world. Depending on one’s mobility, perhaps as part of a job that requires lots of travel—one could also certainly include those wealthy jet-setters (or PTs, see two blog posts below) who love to travel all over the place—for these types of folks one might say “the planet is their world.”

But how about for the typical Earth man and woman, whether living in an urban, suburban or country setting? Most, who have jobs, are tied down to those jobs; and are also tied down to a marriage and a family, perhaps. These worker bees are part of a community made up of fellow worker bees, friends and acquaintances within whatever circles they may inhabit.

For the unemployed or disabled or just plain lazy bums, their worlds are even smaller, I suppose, limited by the reach of their activities (or lack thereof). And what of rail-riding hobos and gypsies?

This, then, is the scope of our respective world or worlds. Work-a-day routine with intermittent breaks—holidays and vacations for “play time.” But isn’t it then back to work (or back to idleness)?

For those who work or those who are in a “poverty of idleness” their worlds are fairly well circumscribed, limited to the “ant hill” each inhabits. Of course I am defining “world” here in a geo-spatial sense that contains the socio-cultural sphere within it (also known as "culture trance").

What then is “reality”? Our respective worlds constitute our realities. But is there “one reality,” as such?—that is, a so-called “consensus reality” to which most or all subscribe—and wouldn’t that reality then be a “consensual reality” for the reason that each agrees with the great majority that, yes, this is the reality which we all share, the reality to which we have consented, to which we all subscribe?

If so, consider the thesis of the following art critic:

This Masterpiece Painting Hides a Brutal Act in Plain Sight

Is consensual reality, then, comprised of brutal acts that are simply accepted as the world we mutually inhabit—that we have all “consented to”? How about a post-modern world in which humans kill their own babies in a Satanic right known as abortion? How brutal! No other animal would kill its own offspring, would it?

Staying with the stylistic representation of reality as depicted in fine art, now consider the perspective of this artist: 

Hieronymus Bosch: The Devil Maker

Does this artist tend to agree with the observations of Fr. Chad Ripperger—that human beings are generally stupid, i.e., essentially herd animals (sometimes referred to by the derogatory term “sheep”)? And are they all, as Fr. Ripperger suggests, fair game for demons?

It would certainly seem so, would it not? And to think that the two examples above refer to periods in history before factories were introduced to the world by the industrial revolution, not to mention the digital revolution of computers, Photoshop, printed facsimiles, computer generated images (CGI) and artificial intelligence (AI).

Now I ask again: WHAT IS REALITY?

Each answers that question from the context of his or her world—from his or her “ant hill” or comparative “little world.”

To the degree one has traveled through the geo-spatial world and has experienced or partaken in other socio-cultural worlds, one might say the ant hill has perhaps yielded to become a whole back yard. Yet there’s a whole neighborhood out there—lots of neighborhoods.

There’s a whole planet of neighborhoods—and neighborhoods off-planet too, I might add. Add to this that each neighborhood has developed its own acculturated customs—the foundation from which law is borne. And law, once co-opted by church and government molds each "congregant” and “citizen” into the consensual reality we have today, eh?

And with demons itching to demoralize and ruin—and angels as the counterweight, with Jesus to assist with the Holy Spirit to lead us to the true Godhead, back to our Creator God—I’d say that fairly well sizes up the battlefield wherein souls slither and slog to find their way to their true identities.

The many worlds that ultimately comprise individual realities, which together compose so-called Reality (really “consensual reality” at best) is what is happening on that battlefield. It is nothing short of spiritual warfare waged by living flesh-and-blood beings who are under constant assault from a covert over-lording class. Yes, there are those who seek to control human beings, turning them into a herd humanity that does its evil bidding. Instead, we might, if we are fortunate and persevere, discover the truth, goodness, and beauty of the One God in whose image we were made; but to do so we must wheedle our way through the material world, as we learn the rules of spiritual warfare by trial and error, to hopefully triumph over mostly invisible demon adversaries.

In this sense, we are all caught in a “magical realism”—indefinable, ever-changing, over-under-sideways-down, topsy-turvy, and difficult-to-manage life ways—worlds within worlds amid clanging realities that reverberate with each other, parts of which sometimes resonate or sometimes repel one another, but seek to merge as they can and are able. 

Oh what a mighty mess it is within which we squirm! On your way out, consider this:

The Luciferian Doctrine Explained - ROBERT SEPEHR

[NOTE: Stay tuned for Part III, all those resilient readers among you!]

Angels/Demons/Aliens ~ Grace/Sin/Knowledge

 PART I

For some weeks, perhaps longer, I’ve been wanting to write an essay comparing the era of saints and martyrs to our current age. (Not that there are not saints and martyrs in our current age; here I mostly I refer to the purges by the Roman emperors during the late Roman Empire up until the reign of Constantine.) To know what I am talking about, read through the Lives of the Saints by Fr. Alban Butler (1894) and learn about all of the self-deprivation and severe mortifications, along with the hideous tortures inflicted upon saints whose ardent desire was to “leave this world.” 

And I think I understand what they meant—that is, leaving those worldly pursuits, viz., the love of wealth, immoral sex, endless entertainment, and power accumulation, the desire for fame and for all things that are centered upon the material world and so-called "success" therein. 

However, "the world" is also a beautiful creation of our Creator God. It is a watery world of sunshine, warmth, beaches, mountains, plains and prairies, a wide assortment of animals, trees and plants, frequencies, vibrations, and the mysteries of consciousness within all things that surround us on land, in the sea, in the air and even underground. I would much rather enjoy and praise God’s creation, than be removed from the natural world and walled up in some dwelling wearing a hair shirt, severely mortifying my body, etc. 

Thus, I’d say that those prior days of essentially “renouncing life"—the world—and excluding it in preference to a divine aspiration for immersion into a strict interpretation of the spiritual realm, is simply not the way to go these days. In fact, it is like giving anything up, rather than enjoying it in moderation—I’d argue that the former is a cop-out, while embracing the latter requires more discipline, tenacity and in the end—a more virtuous reward. 

Be that as it may, please allow for a slight detour, dear reader. My attention to the world this day drew me to an interview with Fr. Chad Ripperger, a Roman Catholic priest, theologian, philosopher and exorcist serving the Archdiocese of Denver. As with most things in my stumble-bum life, I happened upon this serendipitously. It’s over four hours long! And to me, it’s worth every minute. See if you agree:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2p_cfipbEw

-----------------------------------------------------

Now, after hearing the good padre, many may come away with the impression that the human race is stupid, generally speaking, and is tricked in all sorts of malign ways; that there are billions of demons about, just waiting for an opportunity to inhabit people, places and things—whether through our own sin(s), some involuntary trauma, or via the curse of some wicked other who is out and about. 

Suddenly, that beautiful paradise-of-a-world sounds like a frightful and dangerous place for the unwary. To think that there are many people, perhaps 25% of the population in America, for example, walking around plagued to one degree or another by a demon or even a legion of demons! 

Admittedly, however, it is no wonder this could very well be the case during this era of infiltration and subversion of practically all institutions via intelligence agencies, twisted secret societies, and corporate minions—those man-made groupings arranged according to purpose. These can be church, government, sports, social, scientific and all sorts of socio-cultural organizations designed to intimidate individuals and families. 

When human beings are turned at birth into things, mere chattel, (via the misuse of birth certificates) the long descent into the ignorance of ourselves begins—and conditioning into an unholy man-made system proceeds unceasingly, aided by the propaganda of schools (behavioral conditioning) and media lies (foisted on us by elite bloodline overlords, Deep State handlers, and their useful idiot proxies). 

But rather than pointing fingers and blaming this, that and the other thing, let’s consider this: that perhaps the time of religion is over; with the personal embrace of the spiritual in its place. What I mean by that is instead of calling oneself a "Christian" and following one of the perhaps 40,000 Christian denominations worldwide, one can simply be a follower of Jesus and subscribe to his gospel truth: Jesus as the perfect model of virtue for all human beings—and by praying that you are a worthy individual in the "eyes of God" by so doing. 

But how about this Fr. Ripperger—isn’t Roman Catholicism hopelessly corrupt these days? How about that? This good padre is not just some appointed parish functionary; he is the founder and superior general of the Society of the Most Sorrowful Mother (Doloran Fathers), a religious community dedicated to spiritual warfare, deliverance ministry, and the traditional liturgy. 

More from Fr. Ripperger’s Bio:

      A classically trained Thomist, Father Ripperger holds degrees in theology and philosophy from the University of San Francisco, master’s degrees from both the University of St. Thomas and Holy Apostles College, and a doctorate in philosophy from the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome. His scholarship and experience make him a respected authority on demonology, angelology, spiritual warfare, and the integration of theological principles with psychology.

     Through Sensus Traditionis Press, he has authored several influential works, including Deliverance Prayers for Use by the Laity, Dominion, and Introduction to the Science of Mental Health. Known for his clear, no‑nonsense teaching style rooted in Thomistic philosophy and Church tradition, Father Ripperger continues to give talks, conferences, and guidance on prayer, virtue, the sacraments, and protection from spiritual evil.

Whatever the case may be, we’ve but dipped our toes into some very curious waters here. Why in the world would we wish to follow any other human being, whether it is Fr. Ripperger or even the Pope himself? 

[NOTE: Speaking of following, this is only Part I—there is more to follow... So, trust in yourself and the Good Lord, and, should you find this interesting, follow on, dear reader...]

What Is a “P.T.”?

Right now I'm reading a very unusual book by W.G. Hill simply entitled PT (Confidential Registered Copy No. 1073) published in 1989. What does “PT” stand for? Many things—just to give it whirl: 

Travel can and will be a big part of enjoying life as Perpetual Travelers who are Prepared Thoroughly because we are Positive Thinkers doing plenty of Preventative Tinkering. Our main concern is to ensure Pleasurable Times. This does not necessarily mean just plain bohemianism; rather, it means intelligently enlarging the sovereignty of the individual in order that he or she can be free to choose, to optimize his or her life choices so as to live life fully on one’s own terms. 

And what, pray tell, does that mean? In short, it means we need to think of our home as the entire planet instead of being “nation-confined.” It doesn’t involve renouncing your citizenship (in most cases) and it doesn’t mean one is unpatriotic or uncaring of his or her country of origin. Not at all! 

The PT book is a how-to guide, a Prosperity Tome for those savvy individuals who have demonstrated money-making skills and who wish to safeguard their accumulated and currently accumulating wealth from the over-reach of any government. Governments take via various taxes and schemes reaching into the pockets of people to reduce their personal earnings and net worth. And the United States is the only country that taxes its citizens worldwide and on income earned outside its borders. Thus, being a PT is especially relevant to native born or naturalized American citizens [Note: American state nationals need not worry one bit.] 

The old adage, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” applies here. That is, we’re talking here about Persons of Talent with libertarian streaks, Possibility Thinkers who have Prepared Today and thus are Prepared for Tomorrow; yes, PTs have figured out that being Prior Taxpayers is a whole lot better for their entrepreneurial and/or investment instincts, interests, and abilities, not to mention their long-term welfare and quality of life. 

Early on, W.G. Hill was a Publisher Temporarily who originally drew on the work of trailblazer Harry D. (for Dynamic) Schulz, the man who wrote the introduction to PT. 

Hill first discovered his innate shrewd capitalist talent when he was stationed overseas. In his down time he took full advantage as a “Part Time” soldier, investing his military pay in certain lucrative foreign opportunities that he, per chance, discovered while being there. After returning to civilian life he simply kept going with this “Perfect Thing” he had discovered, ultimately fashioning it into a lifestyle that yielded a Perfect Treasure—one that he learned to hold on to and develop.

Quite frankly, in its most stripped down terms establishing yourself as a PT involves all of the following “Five Flags”: 

YOUR FIVE FLAGS UNFURLED 

Flag 1. BUSINESS BASE.

These are the places you make your money. These places must be different from where you “legally reside”—your personal fiscal domicile. It should be a place that gives free land, grants interest-free loans, a tax holiday to your business, and freedom from over-regulation. Good access to contacts, labour markets or materials are also needed for conducting your business. London, Tokyo, and New York are the Big Apples for Finance and Insurance. Zurich, Hong Kong, Singapore, Frankfurt and Milan are among the secondary contenders. 

Flag 2. PASSPORT AND CITIZENSHIP.

This should be from a country unconcerned about its offshore citizens or what they do outside its borders. There must be no tax or military requirement for non-residents. PASSPORTS MUST BE AVAILABLE TO FOREIGNERS 

Flag 3. DOMICILE. This should be a tax haven with good communication [i.e., a Perfect Tax haven]; a place where wealthy, productive people can be creative, live, relax, prosper and enjoy themselves, preferably with bank secrecy and no threat of war and revolution. Monaco, the Channel Islands, Campione, Andorra, and Bermuda, are all recommended. 

Flag 4. ASSET MANAGEMENT. This should be a place from which assets, securities and business affairs can be handled by proxy. Requirements are availability of highly competent financial managers, confidential banking, no taxation of non-residents and non-citizens. One of the best places in which to plant your fourth flag would be Liechtenstein. Other possibilities would be Austria, Luxembourg, Switzerland, New York or London. 

Flag 5. PLAYGROUNDS.

These are places where you would actually, physically spend your time. Normally, because of legal restrictions on how long one may stay without being inducted as a taxpayer, it is necessary to have from two to four playgrounds. One might try to avoid spending more than 90 days per year in any one of them. We look for quality of life.

W.G. Hill, PT, p. 21 (Scope Books, 1989) 

And so you can plainly see that a PT is only Parked Temporarily, Passing Through due to the necessities as described above. He or she is a Perpetual Tourist enjoying the full bore of what the world has to offer; you’re not confined to any one place; instead you’re just a’blowing’ in the wind with the assets working for you, un-depleted by over-zealous government demands.

Preparing to be a PT requires study and knowledge; treaties, statutes and regulations are always changing, so consultation with professionals is recommended. Even the info presented herein must be checked to see where it is currently outdated. Anything out-and-out illegal is out-of-bounds. Rather, it is really a game of outsmarting the keepers, the controllers, to remain free and retain ultimate liberty to do as you please. PTs must set things up in advance to the extent possible. That is, they must Prepare Throroughly and apply Preventive Tinkering as needed before and during their Perpetual Travel. Being unfettered and free as a bird with nothing but Pleasurable Times ahead sure seems preferable to being tied down and needlessly paying out the wazoo for your captivity! 

MONEY MONGERS

Money is something of value that we use in order to buy things or to pay bills. We do so, even though the American dollar, quite literally, has no intrinsic value whatsoever. It is paper (or much more to the point, digital “credits”) created in thin air and backed by no precious metal. 

Since they became “Federal Reserve notes” dollars became debt instruments because a “note” is, in fact, a promise to pay another, rather than being money given as an actual payment to that other, in order to discharge debt. 

Still, we all act as if cash is money because it is so-called “legal tender” that gets us things—groceries, gasoline, airline tickets—you name it. And people want and need money to function in the world. 

And where, generally speaking, is money kept? In banks. 

And what business has developed to make sure we protect ourselves from losses? insurance companies. 

And finally, what business mechanisms have we created to limit our liabilities? They’re called corporations. 

Banks and insurance companies are both for-profit corporations. They operate to make as much money as possible while paying out as little as  possible to people involved with them. Their bottom line, called “profit,” is their main concern—the amassing of as much "money" (also called “capital”) is what they do best. Thus they aim to aggregate capital and limit the amount they pay out, whether that pay-out is to customers of their services or to shareholders of their corporations. 

The post-modern world now has computers and artificial intelligence (AI) that can emulate an actual person, whether by use of a chat program or by actual voice via telephone. Program the computers with the bureaucratic red tape and, for the unwary, it is often a trap, a sure recipe for a nightmare. 

Bureaucracy means prerequisites, steps that are required in order to facilitate action toward a particular purpose, to an end-point; and AI-enabled bureaucracy is bureaucracy on steroids. 

Negotiating the multi-layered rules that purport to safeguard the “money” within the above noted institutions is a staggering process. When you are owed money by an insurance company, for example,  and expect it to be wired into your bank account, getting to the "available funds" stage can be a harrowing experience. And the more digitized it is, the harder it is to proceed, especially for the more techno-illiterate, i.e., the older generation. It often takes someone who is much younger and more knowledgeable in using his computer and/or cell phone, and a resolute determination to get through every single digital obstacle presented. 

From doing an online photographic ID using a cell phone camera, to dancing around nuances from questions being asked—the daunting tasks asked of you can seem almost impossible to complete. And then there is the establishment of you as an actual person via your phone records. Woe to those who have bought a phone under one provider and then use it again but with another phone provider. You may find you have become a “nonentity” in the phone ID sense of being real. 

Codes are sent via text or email to verify you are the right person, the actual account holder. So much now depends upon the digital universe of things that those “Luddites” who aren’t all that ensconced in the digital world can easily find themselves disowned and displaced persons (with non-access to their own accounts!). 

And then there are the delays. Wiring funds is instant, but holding them for a number of days is the prerogative of the above noted corporate institutions—and this applies both to sending and receiving in the “money game.”  Yes, it is a game they play at your expense with funds YOU own and that wastes YOUR time and interferes with the conducting of YOUR own business as you see fit. And what can and does happen is this: 

I know of a father and son who knew that a wire for reimbursement claims in the amount of $447K was being sent from a private, medical insurance company. And yet, the moment it was received by the bank it was rejected by "higher authorities in the back room" who, —suspecting fraud—or who knows what?—froze the account for ten days pending their "review"!

 

From the outset of opening the account, they were very transparent with their contact at the bank branch about their impoverishment and the soon-to-be-expected $447K wire and its origin—a full three weeks before this rash, punishing action was unilaterally imposed.

  

Why the higher ups in the back room don't interact with relevant branch personnel to gather information in order to more quickly resolve issues seems to me to be a policy that is counter to common sense and good customer service. 

$$$$-----$$$$

And when it comes to “money” you will always find the government sniffing around trying to reach into your pocket via fees and taxes. Especially in international money transfers, the nifty regulations imposed upon the corporate players assures the government of its participatory piece of the action from your “money” transfer in not-so-sublime, take-it-or-leave-it ways. 

In short, consumers caught in the clutches of corporate money handlers are victimized at will by the avarice of the corporate players and their enabling, corporate  government overseers. Even a child knows and can express what's going on: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/eZIkRf_ato4 

That is, the whole money handling and transfer business is closely monitored and you are a helpless pawn therein. If you cannot afford to hire some shyster attorney to help you because you (surprise!) lack the funds, you may simply be plum outta luck.

Yes, oh my brothers and sisters, the money mongers are there and they will get you if you need their services. Be forewarned! And always remember: the government is NOT your friend and (if you challenge the status quo) neither are the corrupt courts!

In Contemplation of Pentecost

 

Another Sunday is dawning, the Sunday before Pentecost. Pentecost occurs 49 days after Easter (or is it 50, as the Greek root word expresses?). It commemorates the Holy Spirit descending upon the Apostles and Mary (and I’d say others) who were crowded in that upper room in Jerusalem where this event occurred. This supernatural happening is symbolized by the dove and tongues of fire coming upon the devout in a mighty wind.

Of course that’s next week’s celebration. On this Sunday, one week before, we might contemplate what may have been going on in the minds of those who would gather together in expectation of this mystery.

The Holy Spirit is the third entity of our Trinitarian God. We pray for the grace of the Holy Spirit to come into us—for example to assist us in our speech when we express ourselves, similar to the Apostles who instantly began speaking in tongues on this first occasion.

For a human sinner to “walk in grace,” however, is much more than being delighted when words of wisdom come out of one’s mouth. Of course that is a beautiful thing in and of itself. But I’d venture to say that this is only one benefit that accrues from the nuances of grace coming into and upon you.

The concept of the grace of God conjures up thoughts that are mighty, pure, free from the taint and contamination of contrivance, pretension, and affectation. Grace shines as the power of truth, goodness, beauty! And one who is in the possession of sacred grace walks in holiness and, I suppose, as near to perfection as is possible in this world.

All ye who worship the Good Lord seek to emulate the actions and words of Jesus (Yeshua) the Christ, as He is exemplified in the Gospels. The historical Jesus was and is the idyllic role model for human beings, and asking for the gift of grace via the Holy Spirit is to humbly desire to “walk in his sandals”—to ask for the gift of being supernaturally assisted directly by God in our daily lives; to live lives that are real, lives of deep faith, hope and charity.

Pentecost celebrates the birth of the nascent church, of inspirational leaders who take the Word of God to others through the sacrality of their words and actions as inspired by the grace of the Holy Spirit that lives in them and through them.

We look with pleasure upon this event as the fulfillment of Scripture and the enduring promise of being able still to utilize God’s powerful grace to ennoble our humanity. Yes, the Holy Spirit is like a living consciousness we can tap into if worthy and willing to serve our Creator in a more profound way. By so doing we extend grace to others. Yes, Pentecost epitomizes what it means to be Christ-like, to aspire to a moral life in harmony with Divine Will.

It’s truly…a beautiful thing.
