Reptilian Elites and the Problem of Evil

The guy behind The Case Against Reality is Donald Hoffmann. Not sure what to make of it, the way he decouples survival ability from reality perception.

I really implore you to read some St. Maximos the Confessor. He's right up your alley. I think there's a strong case to be made that he is amongst the greatest philosophers and theologians to have ever lived. "On the Cosmic Mystery of Jesus Christ" is a good snapshot of his thought, and is widely available. I'd also recommend some essays on him you'd probably like, such as "The Anthropic Cosmology of St. Maximos the Confessor" by Dragos Bahrim, and some other secondary sources like "The Byzantine Christ: Nature, Person, and Will in the Christology of St. Maximos the Confessor" by Demetrios Bathrellos. You're in the unique position of likely having sufficient philosophical background knowledge to be able to really reap the benefits of reading him.

On an adjacent note, some other works I'd recommend are Dr. David Bradshaw's "Aristotle East and West: Metaphysics and the Division of Christendom", which outlines the different approaches to Hellenic thought in Western Christendom versus Eastern Christendom historically, and how the Western approach leads to Western thought unravelling, as we've experienced in recent centuries and decades. Another of this sort would be the "God, History, and Dialectic: the Theological Foundations of the Two Europes and Their Cultural Consequences" series by Dr. Joseph P. Farrell, who characterizes the errors the Western half of Christendom, which the East avoided (not to sound overly polemical), and which lead to the state of the West and Western thought now. Not all of his work is good, especially as of late, but this specific work, his magnum opus, is excellent.

One other work, which is specifically on the depths of Orthodox theology and how unique it is in world-wide thought, would be Vladimir Lossky's "The Mystical Theology of the Eastern Church", which I also think would appeal to you.

Edit: St. Maximos also has a very unique approach to answering the Problem of Evil, at the very least when compared to the typical approaches in Western theism, so he's directly relevant to the topic at hand.

Maybe all suffering is hormesis for the soul. Life is a slog alright, but I look back, and I bet that even the deepest episodes of suffering in my life will turn out to have been instrumental in elevating/training my soul. Evil as spiritual gym equipment, sort of like how in AI research, generative adversarial algorithms (constantly adapting antagonistic algorithms) have yielded state-of-the-art results in many benchmarks. A reality in which The One creates Complexity and then elevates it back to himself is clearly better than any alternatives, since that's what we find ourselves in. I get the feeling that, after the death of my body, I will look back on my sufferings with very different eyes, as someone might look back at some disciplinary action taken by their parents which was terrible at the time, but which undeniably helped them. People frequently criticize Christians for their aversion to violent political revolution, but I think it makes sense once you have a proper understanding of what to expect out of this world (not much), and genuinely have trust in the providence of a God who came to earth in a man with Jesus' (not Mohamed's) personality.

I love you brother, thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Nice faraday cage !

Can you please cite the ancient maps you were talking about? I'd like to dive deeper into this subject.

Belief is the enemy of knowledge, break out of that matrix.
There are layers of matrixes.

This world is an adrenochrome farm period.

Sometimes it’s just like, “wow, I wish I had made this video.”

I was on a dark occult path a few years ago and had some experiences such as hearing an androgynous sounding entity calling and mispronouncing my name. It happened twice and I was wide awake when it happened. I ascertained that it was demonic since it made a mistake with my name. It was real. Now I'm involved in Golden Dawn Magick. I got a huge spiritual bump by doing so. Would love to join your academy but I have a lot on my plate with what I'm doing and wouldn't know what I could contribute.

Plotinus goes into great detail making arguments about the nature of Evil and its necessity. Plotinus’ cosmology is based on a sort of ontological hierarchy. Things are defined as Real or Non Real based upon whether or not they are contingent upon other things for their existence. Consider a light source, an obstructing object, and a resulting shadow. The shadow will cease to exist if either the light source or the obstructing object is removed. The obstructing object and the light source, however, do not rely on the shadow at all for Existence. The obstructing object and light source can then be thought of as more Real than the shadow. The less things something relies upon, and the fewer the number of things that this 'something' relies on in turn rely on, the more Real the thing is. Consequently, the most Real thing must rely on nothing else but itself. The top of this ontological hierarchy is of course The Good/The One. There is a clever argument as to why they should be conflated, but that is off topic.

The Good/The One being the most ontologically primordial thing possible, it must be a sort of Principle of Existence. That which is participated in, but does not participate in anything else. The unmoved mover. Because everything else must participate in it, it is said to encompass all possible things which Exist. Evil is then defined as the contrary to The Good. Sort of an argument from opposites. Principle Evil is then the sort of principle of having no inherent properties of ones own. In this sense, Evil is an illusion in the sense that it as no Real Being of its own. It is always contingent upon a medium. This is the case especially for Matter. Everything which can be said about Matter is merely accidental. Matter has no shape, size, temperature, or form of any kind in of itself. The Matter could have initially been formed in different ways, and can be formed into something different later on. It only ever ‘just so happens’ to be in the particular state it is in at any given point in time. Any particular state Matter finds itself in is never necessitated by any kind of Essence. This is the embodiment of Evil. Evil exists in Humans because we have a Material body. So our Evil stems from the fact that our body is transient, breaks down, and becomes disordered. We have heart ache because our psycho-physical selves fall in love. Etc. We are victims of our Material body's lack of eternal properties.

Evil necessarily exists. This is due to the fact that we (and the things around us) are contingent on so many other superior things to ourselves for our own existence. The things we are comprised of and interact with in our daily lives are removed from Real Being, and mixed with Evil as a result. These Evils are necessarily generated as casual chains emanate things which have existences which are contingent on other things. For example, complex mathematics are logically necessitated by the consequences of simple mathematics. Complex mathematics are also ontologically contingent upon more fundamental, simple mathematics. This chain of necessary generation of more complex things which are also contingent upon more primordial things generates additional and increasingly Evil things. So in this sense, Evil is a privation of the fullness and Realness of The Good.

We can know of Evil apophatically. The Principle of The Good is perfectly complete (encompassing everything which exists). The Principle of Evil is perfectly incomplete (consisting in the principle of having no inherent properties at all). They are completely opposed in every way on every possible front. They are perfectly incommensurable. Their contrary natures exemplify the greatest possible opposition two contrary things may be in. Good and Evil are contrary to the limit. It is also the perfection of their contrariness which defines both of their existences. The nature of The Good naturally defines the negative outline of Evil as it perfectly fills out all Existence.

Where do the elite reside?

This is great would love to see some more content in this direction

It's past time you made a video about your usage of Christian texts and the name of Christ. You clearly aren't orthodox. Even Origen would blush at the stuff you say.

For someone who has accused others of being feds, you are engaging in some fed-like behaviors (starting a school/compound and subverting Christianity).

Given your past involvement in another intelligence agency run cult (Falun Gong), surely you can see how this sort of behavior is concerning and deserves explanation.

For the record, I believe you were right in calling out the propertarians, so I don't want to believe that you're a fed as well, but it's pretty suspicious given your past involvement in a cult.

The Valentinian gnostic mythology is the best explanation for this universal conundrum.

I'm very interested in learning about Hameroff and Penrose's model if you're willing to explicate it. I just don't know if I'm smart enough to understand it. I first learned of their work from watching an interview with Peter Fenwick who mentioned them, who himself is a neurophysiologist and neuropsychiatrist who studies end of life phenomena. For starters, it would be helpful to understand the basics of quantum theory- superposition, decoherence, etc. But watching documentaries on it only further muddies the waters for me, because even the people studying that material seem to have differing interpretations of what they actually mean by those terms.

How do I get in touch with him

Demons huh? 🤭

I want the Truth ... Please explain and elaborate further

More bus rants pls

Oh snap he found the magic bus

It's not that people don't want to know. I speak for myself here, but this mystery knowledge stuff is so dense and sometimes so counter-intuitive that we'll just never know things fully. And there is so many poison pills and bad information out there. I love your videos, brother, but some of us are just okay with living the Catholic truth. I mean no offence here.

Alright, screw it, I'm going to take a step 'out there' in an open video, this time it is too tempting to stay put:

Recently, I have had somewhat similar thoughts about astrology: in the early neolithic or whenever society was being organized, the process of social domestication/selective breeding needed some way of keeping track of the record, writing was hard to come by, so the moderators relied on something else that was sort of kind of regular: the arrangement of stars and planets and making analogies to them for the records. Over time, the societies records became discontinuous (because of successive destruction and re-construction as seen in the archaeological record like pre-pottery neolithic sites being destroyed and built over the same place) and so whatever accuracy it may have had was diminished. Though I wouldn't expect it to be super accurate in the first place because if it was, then it would be easier for a non-elite group to pick up the patterns, so deliberately leaving spaces in the mapping/analogy might have been a part of their plan. Lastly, the repeated destruction and re-creation may not have been accidental, the elites wanted to cover their tracks so they may have initiated this diminishing process just like how they reburied gobekli tepe.

There's another interesting theodicy that isn't often given as much attention as the others, and that's the Irenaean theodicy. I don't accept his theodicy wholesale, but I think there are important parts of it that are true.

An admittedly rather crude way to sum up Irenaeus' view is that suffering builds character. As crude as that statement is, it does get to the heart of his position. God's goal in creating the world, according to Irenaeus, is not to create happiness -- at least, not initially. Rather, the initial purpose is to create complete and developed souls, and it is only by forcing those souls through a process of development which involves trials, suffering, reversals of fortune and every other messy thing that we associate with life and history that they can develop their full potentialities. Only later, after this goal is attained, can there be happiness, union with God, and all the rest. Thus, the Fall, according to Irenaeus, was not a falling away from an original state of perfection, but merely the first crucial step on the long, hard road to that perfection.

Of course, an obvious objection to this suggests itself. Why would God create imperfect beings who only have the capacity for eventual perfection? Why not simply create everything as perfect from the outset? Irenaeus' answer seems to be that a hard-earned and hard-fought perfection is "higher" than one which is merely innate. I don't accept this answer at all. For one thing, it at least appears to suggest that our own perfection, should we ever reach it, would be higher than God's -- a plain and obvious absurdity. For another thing, it also suggests that evil is necessary for the attainment of God's purposes, and thus that God wills evil. This is also plainly ridiculous and unacceptable.

Still, it seems to me that there is something profoundly correct about the Irenaean view. The answer I'm inclined to give to the above question is that God couldn't have created a world with absolutely no suffering and in which everything is immediately perfect from the outset. His world would necessarily have to be distinct and separate from Himself, and thus dependent upon Him for its existence. Since it is a finite world, it is subject to all of the metaphysical limitations of finitude -- generation and corruption, ceaseless change, metaphysical composition, ontological incompleteness. Working under those limitations, it's just not possible to create instant perfection. No matter how you choose to slice things, if you construct your world from finite materials, someone, somewhere will have to suffer.

The best that God can do is to keep that suffering to the minimum level consistent with attaining His purposes. More importantly, He commandeers the world's finitude and uses it to His own advantage, eventually twisting it into its opposite. And why? Basically, to show how awesome He is.

Due to the conditions of finitude, immediate perfection for the world is impossible. God instead makes the world into a little sandbox where His creatures can develop themselves, become better and better, and approach ever closer to Him. Eventually, in the fullness of time, they do -- they all do. Furthermore, things are so prearranged by God that they all do this freely.

The fact that this is contradictory is, in my view, precisely the point of the whole endeavor. A creature inserted into a pre-arranged plan in which God knows exactly what he will do nevertheless retains his freedom and is able to use that freedom to develop his soul and approach God -- even though he often doesn't do so, but chooses to do evil instead. The play's outcome is predetermined, but the actors are free to play whichever parts they like. The suffering lamentably imposed on us by the fact that we live in finitude becomes inverted into the instrument of our own perfection and finitude's abolition. In the fullness of time, all will see the good, every knee will bow and all contradictions in the game will be reconciled.

But why? What's the point of all of this? Why this elaborate song and dance? Why all the Strum und Drang? I think the answer is that it's meant to allow God to reveal Himself in all that He truly is. It's all one gigantic theophany done through the reconciliation of contradictions. By making evil unwittingly contribute to the victory of good, God forces even evil to recognize His goodness and surrender to it. By arranging the world into a contradictory mess, He shows His power by making it all work out -- and work out freely, without His appearing to have to force anything into place. By allowing -- and guaranteeing -- that all will eventually freely reach perfection, He displays His power precisely because He never needs to resort to crude and direct shows of force, and because He reveals that there is no contradiction between human freedom and His omnipotence and omniscience. And by bringing together and reconciling all of these contradictions, He shows the ultimate victory of reason.

In sort, to unmistakably show that He is in charge, He sets Himself a task that only He can accomplish. It's the ultimate "Hold my beer" moment.

This is the sort of theodicy that I've been drifting towards, and it is consistent with the Augustinian privatio boni approach. I think that both the Augustinian and the Irenaean views have to be combined and integrated in order to have a complete theodicy.

I am interested in a video about mathematics, demons, Hilbert space, etc that you mentioned at the end of this video! Please make one and post when you have time.

I truly enjoyed your thoughtful approach to the Central Problems of existence: Suffering, Sin and Evil. I sort of disagree with your explanation of the need to have suffering to enjoy perfection. It is not a "need" or something that must happen, a driving force, its an inevitability, a "by-product" of the Perfect Plan, a sort of innate entropic manifestation, an anti-force emerging as the seed of Free Will. My take on the origin of the imperfection that has resulted in the above trio of maladies is the following. The only reason this might be the best of all possible worlds is the notion that the Unknowable Godhead's (Root) primary goal is/was to escape Its Solitude and Unicity through manifestation of 1. Its Personalized Image (the Son, the Trunk) and 2. Its Personalized "Thoughts" (Aeons, Children, Branches) to Emerge as Its Spiritual Family. The Godhead being Eternal and Boundless guarantees an Expansive and Eternal Manifested Kingdom. However, in order to exercise Its Goodness and escape Its Innate and Intrinsic Sovereign, Absolute and Tyrannical Rule (by virtue of It been the Originator and Root of the Manifested Emergence) the Godhead established the only True Law permeating the Manifested Existence: Free Will, allowing Free Growth, Creativity and Expansion of the Manifested Spiritual Reality. Being Omniscient, the Godhead KNEW that in order to accomplish Its Spiritual Manifestation Plan ruled by Free Will, the Seed of Diversion (caused precisely by Free Will) will be an inevitably consequence/manifestation of the whole Spiritual Emergence Plan. Therefore, to prevent the inevitable "Spiritual Fall" leading to Separation/Diversion of the Central Spiritual Manifestation/Expansion Plan resulting in the imperfect and chaotic ergo material cosmos, the Godhead had two options: 1. either to remain in Its Unmanifested Obscurity and Absolute solitude (Its Eternal and Innate Nature/State), or 2. rule Its Manifestation through Absolute Imposition and Tyranny and prevent the unfolding of the Seed of Diversion via Absolute Power and the absence of Free Will, in this dampening creative expansion of the Spiritual Realm. The Godhead chose neither. Its solution was to proceed with the Spiritual Manifestation Plan and provide FROM THE PLan's INCEPTION a mechanism for Salvation/Adoption of the "Fallen"/Separated ergo-material cosmos. Its Salvation came through Its Own Image, The Son, who is non other than Its Own Manifested Personality/Personification. Thus, through Its Spiritual Manifestation Plan the Godhead emerged from Obscurity and became the Father of the All, Its Personalized Presence in the Manifested Spiritual Kingdom, Its Image, became the Eternal Son, and Its Invasion of the extra-pleromatic real and the ergo-material cosmos became the Savior, Redeemer and Adopter of the Fallen Reality soon to be transformed into a NEW Branch of the Spiritual Family/Tree: the Emergent Realm of the Son of Man. God Bless you! Keep the Good Work against the Controllers of the Prison by enlightening the blind...

can you elaborate more on ownership of laborr, demonic hierarchies, do you consider all aristocrats to have been parasites as well or is this only addressed to the merchant class?

megalithic builders came from Neolithic farmers, didn't they?

I like Fisher's paper (physicist from UC Santa Barbra) on calcium phospate ions being suitable for entanglement and quantum decoherence.

There's another one that's pretty good, it explains why we lose consciousness under the influence of Xeon, called the 'lithium quantum consciousness' (doi =10.4236/jqis.2017.74010)

My father and I enjoyed this video. Thanks.

saying that God is impersonal could be seen as an apophatic description such as when I say that God is not good. if I see reality through the lens of personality and the highest principles I conceived of are wisdom and love... which are things that only a mind can have as far as I can tell. then an abstract like love or wisdom is not the truth to me because love for Love's sake kills my own mind and being, it abstracts me away into a concept. then I find limitation as a pleasure a mind does. then weakness and dependence is not necessarily evil, it's not the fullness of the truth of what those concepts are. vulnerability and love are connected. one cannot help but to love a kitten or puppy. I will make myself small and then God will be even more compelled to love me. I will test God and fall away from him and see how he treats me. those thoughts speak of a reality where there is someone other than God acting. the best possible World cannot come to be without me. every unique one adds more to Heaven that it would otherwise be without. just because love can be irrational does not make her evil. as for understanding reality Beyond mind, I would not know. ;D but it would be greater than mind not less than mind, positive expression points to the negative. the negation of the negation is the true positive. just like the good is better than my conception of the good. we are Judges, that itself is Testament to The Nearness we have with God. once God is not our enemy we as children are free to use all we are to try to understand. berdyaev said that there are two infinities. rene g. said that there could not be two infinities. but was it not rene that rejected the West?! no religion is as obsessed with the personal Soul as Christianity is. I do not think that the fullness of metaphysics is complete. to believe that is to deny the incomprehensible Infinity that is God. but metaphysics are just words. the process may be infinite, and that is more of a revelation than a few words. the subjectivity and uniqueness of a soul is greater than a few words some people uttered. I am a greater reality than words expressing the ultimate. I can know the truth an indeterminate amount, it is partially me that is making the truth. I will not limit The Eternity of my mind to a limited transient expression in a corruptible reality. the world is a vampire and despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage. truth is everywhere.

Hallelujah! You have one of the greatest big picture understandings I have ever heard.

You, my friend, are a genius.

Bro, please make that video mentioned near the end.

I like the acoustics on the bus

The answer is obvious. This life is temporary. And man has the gift of free will. We need evil to know good. We need human tragedy to appreciate joy

Our soul is not physical

So glad I saw you on Keith woods channel. Been binging your videos since.

Have you ever read The Revelations of an Elite Family Insider? It'd be an interesting book to see you give an opinion on

Eloquently explained, so much so I understood the entire (majority) vid.
I shall value this as the topic comes up often.

It is insane that I'm only discovering you in the last few weeks. This (and the other vids I've seen) is fundamental, well presented and effectively whole. Looking forward to the next open philosophy!

I don't know if you've seen my first vid on my other channel and I guess it's tantamount to speculating on where bitcoin will be in a week but I feel we are very close to that return. It feels like The Event will come faster than people may anticipate because when it materialises it will create an interference pattern with time whereby it propagates simultaneously forward and backward in time from the point of impact. Experientially this could maybe feel like 20 years passing as 1, and then 1 passing as 20.

I hope that mess is at least a little legible

What about the children who get their eyes eaten by flies (happens frequently in central Africa), starve, and yet survive as crippled and broken people? You can't just brush off a lot of these things with "Oh it's for the better." What if we lived in a world where children didn't need to die? The truth is, the world is imperfect, and it was no vision of a perfect omni-everything God. If there are Gods, which I won't despite as a possibility, they are missing something from the abrahamic trifecta. Either their power is limited or bound by rules beyond them, they aren't benevolent or have a different set of morals from us much like classical pagan Gods, or they simply don't care about us and we were never the focus of their intentions in the first place, merely incidental. Take your pick, it's got to be one of em.

Damnnnn all this mental gymnastic just to avoid the fact that there is no god. Imagine just starting with that premise, then everything makes sense and you avoid a lot of waste of time and can think more pragmatically. Im not even close to as smart as you when it comes to phylaosophy but even I can see that

You are applying logic to something which is not logical. God would not need to create any sort of scenario. He would not need to create either a freewill or deterministic outcome. If paradise was truly paradise no part of it would not be paradise. You are the one assuming that the Pleroma and the Kenoma are separate things. They are not.
