Join us tomorrow, approximately 24 hours from now (12 noon US east coast time), as we continue studying "The Law of One” which is a series of 106 conversations that occurred from 1981-1984 between a physics professor & the entity known as Ra who had previously tried to spread the Law of One in ancient Egypt with mixed results. Last week, we covered: - The “part-to-whole" logical fallacy a.k.a. the "fallacy of composition and division", - The second half (pages 121-125) of chapter 13 from “A Channeling Handbook”, - Session 84 of the Law of One, - Personal research updates from study group members along with discussion. This week we plan to cover: - The "Definitions" and "Bibliography" pages from Ali Almossawi's book "An Illustrated Book of Bad Arguments", - The Foreword (pages 13-19) from “A Wanderer's Handbook”, - Session 85 of the Law of One, - Personal research updates from study group members along with discussion.

Fulcanelli agreed on page 1 of "Dwellings of the Philosophers". He wrote: "Paradoxical in its manifestations, disconcerting in its signs, the Middle Ages proposes to the sagacity of its admirers the resolution of a singular misconception. How to reconcile the unreconcilable? How to adjust the testimony of the historical facts to that of medieval art works? The chroniclers depict this unfortunate period in the darkest colors. For several centuries there is nothing but invasions, wars, famines, epidemics. And yet the monuments --- faithful and sincere witnesses of these nebulous times --- bear no mark of such scourges. Much to the contrary they appear to have been built in the enthusiasm of a powerful inspiration of ideal and faith by a people happy to live in the midst of a flourishing and strongly organized society. Must we doubt the veracity of historical accounts, the authenticity of the events which they report, and believe along with the popular wisdom of nations, that happy peoples have no history? Unless, without refuting en masse all of history, we prefer to discover the justification of medieval darkness in the relative lack of incidents. Be that as it may, it remains undeniable is that all the Gothic buildings without exception reflect a serenity and expansiveness and a nobility without equal. If, in particular, we examine the expression of statues, we will quickly be edified by the peaceful character, the pure tranquility that emanates from these figures. All are calm and smiling, welcoming and innocent. Lapidary humanity, silent and well-bred. Women have that portliness which rather indicates, in their models, the excellence of rich and substantial nourishment. Children are plum, replete, and blooming. Priests, deacons, Capuchin monks, purveyor lay-brothers, clerks, and chorus singers, all show a jovial face or the pleasant figure of their portly dignity. Their interpreters --- those marvelous and modest carvers of images --- do not deceive us and could not be mistaken. They choose their prototypes from daily life among people who move around them and in the midst of whom they themselves live. A number of these figures randomly found in narrow streets, taverns, schools, sacristics, workshops, may be altogether marked or overdone, but in a picturesque tone, with a concern for character, for the sense of joy, for generous lines. Grotesque, you may say, but joyously grotesque and full of teaching. Satires of people enjoying laughter. Drinking, singing, and fond of good living. Masterpieces of a realist school, profoundly human and certain of its mastery, conscious of its means, and yet unaware of what pain, misery, oppression, or slavery might be." View quoted note →

Just because a bunch of plebs think you're wrong doesn't make you wrong. Take a lesson from history. In Bitcoin, truth proceeds from consensus, but that's not how it works in the human domain. View quoted note →

Giordano Bruno was a polymath. Polymaths don't just dabble. Many dabblers call themselves polymaths but in truth they are multipotentialites. True polymaths can synthesize knowledge across domains and create something entirely new. Polymaths are people who go further than knowing a lot of things. They're weavers. View quoted note →

426 years ago today, February 17th, Giordano Bruno (1548-1600) was 🔥burned at the stake🔥 at Campo de' Fiori, a central square in Rome. Bruno was an Italian philosopher, astronomer, and former Dominican friar known for his revolutionary cosmological theories, including the concept of an infinite universe and the possibility of other inhabited worlds. Bruno's genius was enabled by his robust memory and his mnemonic techniques. His scholastic excellence earned him audiences with many prominent figures including courtiers, a national ambassador, a national secretary of state, King Henry III of France, Queen Elizabeth I of England, and the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II. He challenged Catholic and Aristotelian doctrines, advocating for pantheism and the Copernicus heliocentric model. Due to his radical beliefs and refusal to recant, he was tried for heresy by the Roman Inquisition. He was arrested in 1592 and was imprisoned for 7 years before his eventual execution. In the 19th century, Bruno's image was restored as an icon of free thought and a martyr for science. As Bitcoiners, we have cause to equate consensus with truth, and while that equation might hold true on the Bitcoin ledger, TRUTH DOES NOT PROCEED UPON CONSENSUS in the human domain. If that were the case, the Earth would have been flat 600 years ago, and then, when everyone decided that the Earth was spheroidal, all of a sudden the Earth would have become spheroidal. When we study the histories of various subjects, in particular science, we are studying the moments in time in which one person was right and everyone else was wrong. Oftentimes, these geniuses who were ahead of their time were treated very poorly by their masses of peers and only after they were dead did their work gain the appreciation it always deserved. Galileo Galilei (1564–1642): Defended the Copernican heliocentric system (Earth revolves around the Sun) against the geocentric model approved by the Church. He was tried for heresy, forced to recant, and spent his final years under house arrest. Eunice Foote (1819–1888): Demonstrated that carbon dioxide and water vapor trap heat, predicting the greenhouse effect and climate change in 1856, years before John Tyndall, but her work was largely ignored because she was a woman. Ludwig Boltzmann (1844–1906): Defended statistical mechanics and the existence of atoms at a time when many top physicists dismissed them. Alfred Wegener (1880–1930): Proposed the theory of continental drift (plate tectonics), which was laughed at by the scientific community for decades until it was validated long after his death. Georges Lemaître (1894–1966): Proposed what became known as the Big Bang Theory, which was initially dismissed by major scientists in favor of a "steady state" universe, but later confirmed. Ida Noddack (1896–1978): Predicted an element (masurium/technetium) and, most significantly, suggested in 1934 that bombarding heavy nuclei with neutrons could lead to "smaller nuclei," essentially predicting nuclear fission before it was proven, only to have her work ignored. Ignaz Semmelweis (1818–1865): Discovered that handwashing by doctors could drastically reduce fatal infection rates in maternity wards. He was ridiculed, dismissed, and eventually died in an insane asylum, but his "germ theory" was later vindicated. John Snow (1813–1858): Identified that cholera was spread through water, not "miasma" (bad air), which was rejected at the time. Gregor Mendel (1822–1884): Laid the groundwork for genetics through pea plant experiments, but his work was completely ignored during his lifetime, only being recognized 16 years after his death. Ferdinand Foch (1851–1929): Commented on the Treaty of Versailles ending WWI: "This is not a peace. It is an armistice for twenty years." He was correct, as WWII began exactly twenty years later. Nikola Tesla (1856–1943): Often treated as a "crazy" inventor compared to Edison, he predicted wireless technology, mobile phones, and the internet ("the world will be converted into a huge brain") in the early 1900s. Winston Churchill (1874–1965): Warned about the rise of Nazi Germany when most of the British government was pursuing appeasement. Alan Turing (1912–1954): Persecuted for his homosexuality in the 1950s and forced to undergo chemical castration, despite being a war hero who broke Nazi codes and founded computer science. Martin Luther King Jr. (1929–1968): Fought against racism and for equality, frequently opposing the status quo of his time, and was assassinated for his beliefs. There are proverbial game changers active today who have inherited the burden of the Cassandra complex. Cassandra was a Trojan princess, sister of Hector and Parris, whose premonitions of the fall of Troy at the hands of Agamemnon, Achilles, and the Greek forces, went unheeded by her father. The frustration of being right when seemingly no one will listen to you is something that many Bitcoiners have experienced and understand. Many paradigm shifting thinkers suffer in life as a result of the closed-mindedness, prejudices, and ignorance of the masses. Despite this, they persist in their work knowing that TRUTH DOES NOT PROCEED UPON CONSENSUS and that society grows great when old people plant trees underneath whose shade they shall never sit. 🪶

The only holy war is between love and fear.

#asknostr In Dwellings of the Philosophers, Fulcanelli quotes Basil Valentine who said “I was born of Hermogenes. Hyperion chose me. Without Jamsuphle, I am forced to perish.” Hermogenes was a philosopher and friend of Socrates. Hyperion was a titan who fathered Helios(sun), Selene(moon), and Eos(dawn). Who is Jamsuphle? Search engines are striking out on Jamsuphle. All I am getting is Fulcanelli text when I search for Jamsuphle.

For those on the positive path, that’s true. Activation of the heart chakra must occur before activation of the wisdom chakra for “the good guys”. For those on the negative path, the heart chakra is skipped over in pursuit of the wisdom chakra, hence the trope of the “evil genius”. View quoted note →

Typically the dark night of the soul is an individual process but Melissa nailed the application of this phase to the collective. Well said. View quoted note →

“For me, I baptize you in water; but there will come another more powerful than me, and I am not worthy to untie the cord of his sandals. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and the fire.” The baptism by fire is all that matters. There is a dry baptism by fire and a wet baptism by fire. The wet baptism by fire is the rhythm entrainment of the aura to the Schumann resonance which is a high theta band frequency. Sensory deprivation enhances this process. There are other factors that enhance this process, as my research shows.
