Wisdom of today.
Think twice before you speak and thrice before you act. Give up backbiting, criticizing and faultfinding. Find out your own faults and weaknesses. See only good in others. Praise the virtues of others. Forgive & forget the harm done by others.

It was a very tough night, but I'm a fighter. Despite the odds, I'm confident that I'll be in Russia to make you all proud. Your love and support will give me the strength I need. - Mohamed Salah
Yousef Al-Khattab : Yousef- Eurasia Future Group I am a strong believer that Russia, Serbia and Turkey should have a strong alliance. We need to put the past behind us, those were generations we will not be questioned about on Judgement Day. We have to much in common, morally, culturally and geographically not to do so.

Thomas Szasz & Charles Montesqieu, wijsheid van de dag, (Dutch)
‘Door hun krankzinnigengestichten zo ruim open te stellen voor hun veronderstelde krankzinnigen, proberen de mensen elkaar slechts te verzekeren dat zij niet zelf gek zijn.’uit de Lettres Persanes van Montesquieu, aangehaald in "De Geheime Leer" (Blavatsky, 1888)
"Onze tegenstanders zijn niet de demonen, de heksen, het lot of de psychiatrische afwijking. Wij hebben geen vijand die wij kunnen bestrijden, uitdrijven of verjagen door te "genezen". Wat we hebben zijn levensproblemen - of dat nu biologische, economische, politieke of socio-psychologische zijn."
See what is happening behind the scenes, and where there has been fought for the liberation of the awakened who were suppressed as well as for the entire human race.
What the NEPHILIM FALLEN ANGELS envisioned for humanity. by G. Edward Griffin
"An illusion it will be, so large, so vast it will escape their perception.
Those who will see it will be thought of as insane. We will create separate fronts to prevent them from seeing the connection between us. We will behave as if we are not connected to keep the illusion alive. Our goal will be accomplished one drop at a time so as to never bring suspicion upon ourselves. This will also prevent them from seeing the changes as they occur.
"We will always stand above the relative field of their experience for we know the secrets of the absolute. We will work together always and will remain bound by blood and secrecy. Death will come to he who speaks.
"We will keep their lifespan short and their minds weak while pretending to do the opposite. We will use our knowledge of science and technology in subtle ways so they will never see what is happening. We will use soft metals, aging accelerators and sedatives in food and water, also in the air. They will be blanketed by poisons everywhere they turn.

We will use our knowledge of science and technology in subtle ways so they will never see what is happening. We will use soft metals, aging accelerators and sedatives in food and water, also in the air. They will be blanketed by poisons everywhere they turn.
The soft metals will cause them to lose their minds. We will promise to find a cure from our many fronts, yet we will feed them more poison. The poisons will be absorbed through their skin and mouths, they will destroy their minds and reproductive systems. From all this, their children will be born dead, and we will conceal this information.
The poisons will be hidden in everything that surrounds them, in what they drink, eat, breathe and wear. We must be ingenious in dispensing the poisons for they can see far. We will teach them that the poisons are good, with fun images and musical tones. Those they look up to will help. We will enlist them to push our poisons.
"They will see our products being used in film and will grow accustomed to them and will never know their true effect. When they give birth we will inject poisons into the blood of their children and convince them its for their help. We will start early on, when their minds are young, we will target their children with what children love most, sweet things.

When they give birth we will inject poisons into the blood of their children and convince them its for their help. We will start early on, when their minds are young, we will target their children with what children love most, sweet things.
When their teeth decay we will fill them with metals that will kill their mind and steal their future. When their ability to learn has been affected, we will create medicine that will make them sicker and cause other diseases for which we will create yet more medicine. We will render them docile and weak before us by our power. They will grow depressed, slow and obese, and when they come to us for help, we will give them more poison.
"We will focus their attention toward money and material goods so they many never connect with their inner self. We will distract them with fornication, external pleasures and games so they may never be one with the oneness of it all. Their minds will belong to us and they will do as we say. If they refuse we shall find ways to implement mind-altering technology into their lives.

If they refuse we shall find ways to implement mind-altering technology into their lives.
We will use fear as our weapon. We will establish their governments and establish opposites within. We will own both sides. We will always hide our objective but carry out our plan. They will perform the labor for us and we shall prosper from their toil.
"Our families will never mix with theirs. Our blood must be pure always, for it is the way. We will make them kill each other when it suits us. We will keep them separated from the oneness by dogma and religion. We will control all aspects of their lives and tell them what to think and how. We will guide them kindly and gently letting them think they are guiding themselves.

We will keep them separated from the oneness by dogma and religion. We will control all aspects of their lives and tell them what to think and how. We will guide them kindly and gently letting them think they are guiding themselves.
We will foment animosity between them through our factions. When a light shall shine among them, we shall extinguish it by ridicule, or death, whichever suits us best. We will make them rip each other’s hearts apart and kill their own children. We will accomplish this by using hate as our ally, anger as our friend. The hate will blind them totally, and never shall they see that from their conflicts we emerge as their rulers.
They will be busy killing each other. They will bathe in their own blood and kill their neighbors for as long as we see fit.
"We will benefit greatly from this, for they will not see us, for they cannot see us. We will continue to prosper from their wars and their deaths. We shall repeat this over and over until our ultimate goal is accomplished. We will continue to make them live in fear and anger though images and sounds. We will use all the tools we have to accomplish this. The tools will be provided by their labor. We will make them hate themselves and their neighbors.
"We will always hide the divine truth from them, that we are all one. This they must never know! They must never know that color is an illusion, they must always think they are not equal. Drop by drop, drop by drop we will advance our goal. We will take over their land, resources and wealth to exercise total control over them. We will deceive them into accepting laws that will steal the little freedom they will have. We will establish a money system that will imprison them forever, keeping them and their children in debt.
"When they shall ban together, we shall accuse them of crimes and present a different story to the world for we shall own all the media. We will use our media to control the flow of information and their sentiment in our favor. When they shall rise up against us we will crush them like insects, for they are less than that. They will be helpless to do anything for they will have no weapons.
"We will recruit some of their own to carry out our plans, we will promise them eternal life, but eternal life they will never have for they are not of us. The recruits will be called “initiates” and will be indoctrinated to believe false rites of passage to higher realms. Members of these groups will think they are one with us never knowing the truth.

They must never learn this truth for they will turn against us. For their work they will be rewarded with earthly things and great titles, but never will they become immortal and join us, never will they receive the light and travel the stars. They will never reach the higher realms, for the killing of their own kind will prevent passage to the realm of enlightenment. This they will never know.
The truth will be hidden in their face, so close they will not be able to focus on it until its too late. Oh yes, so grand the illusion of freedom will be, that they will never know they are our slaves.
"When all is in place, the reality we will have created for them will own them. This reality will be their prison. They will live in self-delusion. When our goal is accomplished a new era of domination will begin. Their minds will be bound by their beliefs, the beliefs we have established from time immemorial.
"But if they ever find out they are our equal, we shall perish then. THIS THEY MUST NEVER KNOW. If they ever find out that together they can vanquish us, they will take action. They must never, ever find out what we have done, for if they do, we shall have no place to run, for it will be easy to see who we are once the veil has fallen. Our actions will have revealed who we are and they will hunt us down and no person shall give us shelter.
"This is the secret covenant by which we shall live the rest of our present and future lives, for this reality will transcend many generations and life spans. This covenant is sealed by blood, our blood. We, the ones who from heaven to earth came."

It must NEVER, EVER be written or spoken of for if it is, the consciousness it will spawn will release the fury of the PRIME CREATOR upon us and we shall be cast to the depths from whence we came and remain there until the end time of infinity itself."
Psychiatry, MK-Ultra and character assassination.
Visionary author Philip K. Dick was diagnosed with schizophrenia, while he was completely normal. It was a character assassination, like in the former USSR under Stalin. It happens in Belgium as well, and in America, and other E.U. countries for sure. But the time for the victims has come.

Charles John Jarvis & Kristo : My agony & The Fifth Savior.
You
know and should be alright cause you are a grand human of large
proportions and no matter what is in sight & they tell you you've
got no right you've got the right to write right anyway anyday anyhow
you should be in the King's robes by now, fight the good fight of
love and you always have friends they are your angels of the night,
delight. – Charles John Alexander Jarvis
#29. We did not fall because of a moral error; we fell because of an intellectual error: that of taking the phenomenal world as real. Therefore we are morally innocent. It is the Empire in its various disguised polyforms which tells us we have sinned. 'The Empire never ended.' - Philip K. Dick
Entry #41. The Empire is the institution, the codification, of derangement; it is insane and imposes its insanity on us by violence, since its nature is a violent one. - Philip K. Dick
The
Fifth Savior, a Rock-star
Living
in daily theophany is a miracle by the way. Healing others along the
Way. Even the Saoedi said : Thou Art The Redeemer. A blessing or a
Curse. The Church of Babylon, the Roman-Catholic Church must ask
forgiveness, for its collaboration with Hitler during the second
world war. For the Inquisitions it fires upon us through its unholy
institutions of MADNESS, which is the MADNESS itself. Was our creator
diety a despotic asura, as the EMPIRE has quite become the same. TO
BATTLE THE EMPIRE WITH VICTORY is partly becoming the EMPIRE. I
REFUSED. THE REFUSAL, A GRAND INITIATION, ONLY KNOWN TO THOSE WHOM
ENKI MIGHT HAVE LOVED.
CROWNED
ENLIL, ARE WE DESCENDANTS FROM AKHANATON, as I AM A SUN, ATONIC
WORSHIP is seen EVERYWHERE. WE don't need servants to wipe our ass,
we need a human race to come together and end the wars. Oh yeah, the
war was never intended to end ORWELL WROTE. But I am not ORWELLIAN,
neither do I believe in a BRAVE NEW WORLD, where those who refuse SOMA
are not UNDERSTOOD. I CHOOSE THE OPPOSITE. FORCED DRUGGING OF US,
THROUGH THE DERANGMENT of the EMPIRE, has made us QUITE ANGRY.
Wrestling our way towards the DAY OF JUDGMENT BETTER DRUGS ON THE STREETS THAN THOSE imposed by
the INSANE EMPIRE. Read: the INSTITUTION. It is no measure of health
to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society. KING AND JUDGE WE
CAME. READY FOR THE YEARS AHEAD from now on until 2027-2032. America
make no mistake, we don't plot against thou, quite the opposite. But
THOU MUST FIGHT THE DEEP STATE because it's after the PRESIDENT. And
LEAVE IRAN, North-Korea and CUBA alone, as you are only executing
ROTHCHILD COMMANDS. THE ROCK STAR MUST OPPOSE. AS THE EMPIRE CRUMBLES
by the DAY. This text is a collaboration between saint JOHN and the
the fifth SAVIOR. TO BE CONTINUED.

Wisdom of today.
We must refuse the Faustian bargain. Amen
The Faustian Bargain
Many people on Earth sell their soul to The Dark Lodge in exchange for great power and wealth. This is known as “The Faustian Bargain.” Many famous political and industrial leaders of Earth (past & present) have taken The Faustian Bargain. Those who take The Faustian Bargain are greedy short-sighted fools, for the bargain ends at death, and the bargainers find themselves in the darkest pit of hell, where the only music is the gnawing of teeth and the tearing of flesh. And since they no longer have a soul, they no longer have the ability to evolve their way out of this hell, and are stuck there for all eternity.

Srimad Bhagavatam 6.16.44
As stated in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (9.5.16), yan-nāma-śruti-mātreṇa pumān bhavati nirmalaḥ: simply by hearing the holy name of the Lord, one is immediately purified. Therefore, in this Age of Kali, when all people are very contaminated, the chanting of the holy name of the Lord is recommended as the only means of improvement.
harer nāma harer nāma
harer nāmaiva kevalam
kalau nāsty eva nāsty eva
nāsty eva gatir anyathā
harer nāmaiva kevalam
kalau nāsty eva nāsty eva
nāsty eva gatir anyathā
“In this age of quarrel and hypocrisy the only means of deliverance is the chanting of the holy name of the Lord. There is no other way. There is no other way. There is no other way.” (Bṛhan-nāradīya Purāṇa) Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu introduced this chanting of the holy name five hundred years ago, and now through the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, the Hare Kṛṣṇa movement, we are actually seeing that men who are considered to belong to the lowest class are being delivered from all sinful activities simply by hearing the holy name of the Lord. Saṁsāra, material existence, is a result of sinful actions. Everyone in this material world is condemned, yet as there are different grades of prisoners, there are different grades of men. All of them, in all statuses of life, are suffering. To stop the suffering of material existence, one must take to the Hare Kṛṣṇa movement of saṅkīrtana or Kṛṣṇa conscious life.
Vedische wijsheid van vandaag (Dutch)
In de Veda's, in de Brihad-Naradiya Purana 38.126 staat:
"In het Kali-tijdperk van strijd en schijnheiligheid is er geen andere manier, geen andere manier om verlost te geraken, dan het chanten van de namen van God, het chanten van de namen van God, het chanten van de namen van God."
Update
Deze week had ik een bijeenkomst met HSP Vlaanderen om te solliciteren voor vrijwilligerswerk. Ik acht me eigenlijk iets te introvert - hoewel met een sterke innerlijke kracht - om het aan te vatten. Ik zal volgende week zien wat de mogelijkheden zijn. Verder veel gestudeerd: veel met David Icke zijn werk beziggeweest. Niet alles wat ik hier post hoeft mijn mening te zijn, net als Krishnamurti heb ik niet liefst dat mensen vrij kunnen zijn. Dat gun ik iedereen, mij wordt dat minder gegund. Mijn rekeningen werken weer niet, geblokkeerd, overschrijvingen onmogelijk. Communicatie met betrokken verantwoordelijken blijft onbeantwoord. Op dit yogapad trek ik me daar geen snars van aan. Ik doe toch verder en laat me niet tegenhouden op mijn levenspad, door niemand. Als ze me even willen blokkeren moeten ze dat maar doen, ik vind toch altijd een alternatief om mij weg verder te zetten. Ze raken me zo wel in mijn publicaties, maar - ik vind wel een oplossing. Van den blokkerende is het ronduit zielig wat ze aanvatten. Ik verwijs naar het gedicht Pity the Nation. Ik ga door, in waarheid, en vol goede moed, en goede wil. Dat ik vaak tegenwerking heb ervaren in mijn leven is al geen conspiracy theory meer, dat is een vaststaand feit. In the end wint het goede gelukkig toch altijd. Ik heb het goed voor met de mensheid, en zie alles als een oefening in yoga.
Pity the nation, by Lawrence Ferlinghetti
“Pity the nation whose people are sheep, and whose shepherds mislead them. Pity the nation whose leaders are liars, whose sages are silenced, and whose bigots haunt the airwaves. Pity the nation that raises not its voice, except to praise conquerors and acclaim the bully as hero and aims to rule the world with force and by torture. Pity the nation that knows no other language but its own and no other culture but its own. Pity the nation whose breath is money and sleeps the sleep of the too well fed. Pity the nation — oh, pity the people who allow their rights to erode and their freedoms to be washed away. My country, tears of thee, sweet land of liberty.”

Wisdom of today
"Blond-haired, blue eyed people are the Hidden Hand's preferred genetic type in some mind control programs. This relates again to their particular energetic information fields and at least in part to the NORDIC ET race which opposes Reptilian control and is genetically connected to blond-haired, blue-eyed and other white races." - David Icke

Bhagavad Gita 16.21 - Avoiding lust, anger and greed.
Bg 16.21
tri-vidhaṁ narakasyedaṁ
dvāraṁ nāśanam ātmanaḥ
kāmaḥ krodhas tathā lobhas
tasmād etat trayaṁ tyajet
dvāraṁ nāśanam ātmanaḥ
kāmaḥ krodhas tathā lobhas
tasmād etat trayaṁ tyajet
Synonyms:
Translation:
There are three gates leading to this hell – lust, anger and greed. Every sane man should give these up, for they lead to the degradation of the soul.
Purport:
The beginning of demoniac life is described herein. One tries to satisfy his lust, and when he cannot, anger and greed arise. A sane man who does not want to glide down to the species of demoniac life must try to give up these three enemies, which can kill the self to such an extent that there will be no possibility of liberation from this material entanglement.

Een andere Joodse stem : Ook in België kijken talrijke Joodse burgers met toenemende verontwaardiging naar Gaza - Emmanuel Stein (Dutch)
Bijna twee miljoen mensen zitten gevangen in wat de grootste openluchtgevangenis ter wereld zou kunnen worden genoemd", schrijft Emmanuel Stein
Emmanuel Stein is klinisch psycholoog en lid van de progressieve organisatie Een Andere Joodse Stem.
We leven in tijden van fake news. Als kritische Europese burger is het ontzettend moeilijk om feiten van fictie te onderscheiden. Dat geldt zeker voor het conflict in Israël-Palestina.
De recente escalatie aan de grens tussen Gaza en Israël, waarbij ondertussen zeker zeventien Palestijnse doden zijn gevallen, is daar een pijnlijk voorbeeld van. Mijn Facebook-feed illustreert in wat voor een tweespalt ik zelf leef. Aan de ene kant zie ik berichten passeren van eerder conservatieve vrienden, organisaties en nieuwssites, die beklemtonen hoezeer het Israëlische leger niets anders doet dan de grens verdedigen, hoezeer de hele manifestatie in Gaza door Hamas zou worden gecoördineerd, hoezeer de doden voornamelijk gekende terroristen zijn.
Aan de andere kant lees ik de teksten van linkse, progressieve organisaties en vrienden, die de nadruk leggen op het fundamentele recht van de Palestijnen om te manifesteren tegen de mensonwaardige omstandigheden waarin ze leven, die beklemtonen hoezeer de doden voornamelijk onschuldige, ongewapende Palestijnse burgers zijn en hoezeer het geweld van het Israëlische leger compleet disproportioneel is.
We worden bijna gedwongen om zelf als pseudojournalist het kaf van het koren te scheiden. Bijkomende moeilijkheid om vervolgens een eigen mening te formuleren: van zodra je je mond opendoet, word je zonder boe of ba in een beklemmend hokje geduwd waar je je helemaal niet in thuis voelt. Van "zionistenpijper" aan de ene kant tot "Israël-hater" of zelfs "antisemiet" aan de andere kant. Voor je het goed en wel beseft, is ook de Holocaust erbij gesleurd in een of andere wansmakelijke cartoon of goedkope analogie.

Humanitaire ramp
Vriend en vijand zijn het er nochtans over eens dat er zich in Gaza sinds jaren een humanitaire ramp aan het voltrekken is. Bijna twee miljoen mensen zitten gevangen in wat de grootste openluchtgevangenis ter wereld zou kunnen worden genoemd. Toegang tot proper water is er amper, elektriciteit stroomt er slechts enkele uren per dag, de werkloosheid tiert welig. De grenzen met de buitenwereld zijn zo goed als hermetisch afgesloten. Er is geen toekomstperspectief voor de honderdduizenden jongeren die er opgroeien.
Persoonlijk ben ik geschokt door het recente agressieve geweld waarmee het Israëlische leger reageert op de Palestijnse manifestaties. Nog meer ontdaan ben ik door de continue berichten van talloze mensenrechtenorganisaties die op het terrein actief zijn en die wijzen op de verpletterende verantwoordelijkheid die Israël draagt voor de catastrofale omstandigheden waarin Palestijnen in Gaza dagdagelijks moeten leven. Organisaties zoals B’Tselem, een Israëlische ngo die zich bezighoudt met het documenteren van mensenrechtenschendingen in de regio, laten ons toe om in dit gepolariseerd conflict correcte informatie te vinden.
Het is pijnlijk om te zien hoeveel mensen in mijn omgeving verkiezen om de ogen te sluiten voor juiste berichtgeving, en hiermee verkeerd en stereotiep nepnieuws (zoals bijvoorbeeld de nieuwskwakkel als zouden de Palestijnse manifestaties door Hamas georkestreerd zijn) hardnekkig in stand houden.

Toegang tot proper water is er amper, elektriciteit stroomt er slechts enkele uren per dag, de werkloosheid tiert welig. De grenzen met de buitenwereld zijn zo goed als hermetisch afgesloten. Er is geen toekomstperspectief voor de honderdduizenden jongeren die er opgroeien.
Persoonlijk ben ik geschokt door het recente agressieve geweld waarmee het Israëlische leger reageert op de Palestijnse manifestaties. Nog meer ontdaan ben ik door de continue berichten van talloze mensenrechtenorganisaties die op het terrein actief zijn en die wijzen op de verpletterende verantwoordelijkheid die Israël draagt voor de catastrofale omstandigheden waarin Palestijnen in Gaza dagdagelijks moeten leven. Organisaties zoals B’Tselem, een Israëlische ngo die zich bezighoudt met het documenteren van mensenrechtenschendingen in de regio, laten ons toe om in dit gepolariseerd conflict correcte informatie te vinden.
Het is pijnlijk om te zien hoeveel mensen in mijn omgeving verkiezen om de ogen te sluiten voor juiste berichtgeving, en hiermee verkeerd en stereotiep nepnieuws (zoals bijvoorbeeld de nieuwskwakkel als zouden de Palestijnse manifestaties door Hamas georkestreerd zijn) hardnekkig in stand houden.
Verontwaardiging
Vorig weekend vond in Tel Aviv een betoging plaats, waarin het geweld van het Israëlische leger aan de kaak werd gesteld. Ook in de diaspora, en zeker in de Angelsaksische wereld, durven Joden meer en meer openlijk afstand te nemen van beslissingen van de Israëlische politiek die het vredesproces beknotten.
Het is belangrijk te beseffen dat ook in België talrijke Joodse burgers met een hart voor mensenrechten met toenemende bezorgdheid en verontwaardiging kijken naar de recente ontwikkelingen. Net als vele Belgische medeburgers hopen we dat België en Europa een actievere rol opnemen om een verdere escalatie te voorkomen en de humanitaire ramp in Gaza te stoppen.
