When my early life as a fundamentalist minister came to an abrupt and traumatic end, I surveyed what could be salvaged from the general shipwreck of disappointment. A few valuables could be gathered up, for sure; but that old ship would never sail again. Disappointment is an understatement. What is left to believe in when belief itself has betrayed you? We are held captive by belief (ideology, narrative, meme). Manipulation of belief is the basis of mind control, a clear pathway to dystopia. I spent time in the corporate world. More accurately, I “did” time there. But to survive and thrive ab ..read more

Further to my presentations on Canada’s truckers’ protest, delivered at The Glastonbury Symposium and on Aeon Byte, there has been an important new development. The Federal Court of Canada has just decided that Trudeau’s invocation of the Emergencies Act 1988, was unconstitutional, illegal and unreasonable. This contrasts with the prior determination of Justice Paul Rouleau, Chairman of The Public Order Emergencies Commission, a public inquiry into the circumstances leading up to invocation of the EA and subsequent freezing of bank accounts and martial law responses. The important distinction ..read more

Two young fish are swimming through the water when they are approached by an older fish who asks, “How’s the water this morning?” They carry on swimming, somewhat puzzled, then one fish turns to the other and says, “What the hell is water?” Our belief systems (or what I call “fundamentalism”) are the waters within which we swim. A belief system is natural to us, so we do not observe it, neither can we imagine anything else.  This is important because our adversary (the demiurge) uses this propensity to control us. His strategy is divide and conquer.  The adversary is a master counte ..read more

When faced with adversity, the Stoics prayed for the inner strength to remain unmoved and unbothered by the world outside.  You have power over your own mind but not the ever-changing fortunes of life. According to Stoic philosophy, whatever happens can be attributed to the god, and it would be unwise to insist on something contrary to the Divine will. There is a legend that Roman Emperor and Stoic philosopher, Marcus Aurelius, prayed for rain to save a legion trapped and dying of thirst. The heavens opened and the soldiers caught the rain in their helmets and were saved. This is kn ..read more
