Wading through Jordan's gallery, he might want to attend some more Photoshop lectures.
Here is something from Gurdjieff that I think has some relevance to Froist2pros's reply above:Frost2pro said:If you altered my words than you have probably altered others. What appears to be an unbiased, objective, research-based site in which to gain knowledge and seek truth, is now filtered, edited, and propogandized to suit your own agenda.
Frost2pro's accusations show us what he is like now that he has been scratched.Gurdjieff said:"But there is nothing that shows up a man better than his attitude towards the work and the teacher after he has left it. Sometimes such tests are arranged intentionally. A man is placed in such a position that he is obliged to leave and he is fully justified in having a grievance either against the teacher or against some other person. And then he is watched to see how he will behave. A decent man will behave decently even if he thinks that he has been treated unjustly or wrongly. But many people in such circumstances show a side of their nature which otherwise they would never show. And at times it is a necessary means for exposing a man's nature. So long as you are good to a man he is good to you. But what will he be like if you scratch him a little?
"But this is not the chief thing; the chief thing is his own personal attitude, his own valuation of the ideas which he receives or has received, and his keeping or losing this valuation. A man may think for a long time and quite sincerely that he wants to work and even make great efforts, and then he may throw up everything and even definitely go against the work; justify himself, invent various fabrications, deliberately ascribe a wrong meaning to what he has heard, and so on."
"What happens to them for this?" asked one of the audience.
"Nothing-what could happen to them?" said G. "They are their own punishment. And what punishment could be worse?"
and thenMichael Tsarion is the author of several books, including Atlantis: Alien Visitation & Genetic Manipulation. Michael is a divination scholar and sidereal mythologist, which means that he has studied the comparative mythologies of the world, as they relate to the concepts of Astrotheology and Astrology. Michael is also the head of what he calls the Taroscopic Mystery School, which implements Tarot and Astrology as tools of divination.
It is clear that Tsarion cares not about checking his facts with scientific data. What is "sacred geometrist"? There is nothing sacred in geometry! Geometry is a branch of science.At 15 I came to California and was introduced to Peter Balin and David Singer (the renowned Fillmore artist). The former was hand picked by J. Krishnamurti, to teach art and creativity at his premier mystery school in India. An expert on Shamanistic traditions he went on to compose a book on the Tarot called Flight of Feathered Serpent and designed and published his own deck, the Xultun Tarot, based on the Mayan cosmology. The latter, David Singer is a master scholar of the goddess traditions and sacred geometrist who introduced me to that subject and also to the intriguing study of etymology. He was an artist hand-picked by Bill Graham and he subsequently created certainly the most enigmatic and profoundly symbolic posters for Fillmore West.
Today's "sacred geometrists" are simply degenerated akousmatikoi Note also the term cult inWikipedia said:[...] The Pythagoreans were divided into an inner circle called the mathematikoi ("mathematicians") and an outer circle called the akousmatikoi ("listeners"). Porphyry wrote "the mathematikoi learned the more detailed and exactly elaborate version of this knowledge, the akousmatikoi (were) those which had heard only the summary headings of his (Pythagoras') writings, without the more exact exposition." According to Iamblichus, the akousmatikoi were the exoteric disciples who listened to lectures that Pythagoras gave out loud from behind a veil. The akousmatikoi were not allowed to see Pythagoras and they were not taught the inner secrets of the cult. Instead they were taught laws of behavior and morality in the form of cryptic, brief sayings that had hidden meanings. The akousmatikoi recognized the mathematikoi as real Pythagoreans, but not vice versa. After Pythagoras' death the two groups split from each other entirely, with Pythagoras' wife Theano and their two daughters leading the mathematikoi.[...]
Kepler is also sometimes quoted, because of his like of "divine proportions". YetThe akousmatikoi were not allowed to see Pythagoras and they were not taught the inner secrets of the cult.
An exemplary statement from one sacred geometrist, when he was first confronted about his lying is ....Kepler's logical approach to polyhedra does not mean that he was free of the mysticism of the day. [...]
The image at right is a closeup of the spheres of inner planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. This is a beautiful astronomical model. For example, it explains why there are only six planets: How could there be a seventh planet, when Euclid proved that there are only five Platonic solids! Of course, the model is completely false, the interplanetary distances it predicts are not sufficiently accurate, and Kepler was scientist enough to accept this eventually. But it is an excellent example of how truth and beauty are not always equivalent.
Vincent Bridges, another "sacred geometrist" and Dan's Winter associate , one who wrote about himself:-- that he knew that what he was presenting (particularly with regard to the golden mean and the golden spiral) was untrue, but that his audiences -- in his words -- were "too stupid to know the difference."
has this to say:Well, I'm a Christian non-denominational minister, a Wiccan initiate, a high ranking GD adepti, a member of the Al Haggagi Sufi Order of Luxor, Egypt, and a Nyngma-pa Buddhist terton holder. That makes me a Christian Wiccan Enochian Sufi Buddhist .
Another " the audience is too stupid to know the difference?"Walking the labyrinth, with a fully conscious intent, may just be the best technique human's have ever developed for interacting directly with the mind of the planet. As the need for this kind cmmunication grows greater, learning the secrets of the labyrinth could become one of humanity's most important endeavors.

This forum is not for you to expound on your theories in isolation, neither is it a debating society, it is a research forum and that research is the work of the forum members, it is a group effort for the purpose of coming to a greater understanding of the truth. Many heads are better than one, as they say.Frost2pro said:I'm not assuming. You altered the title of my posting. "Icke and Sitchin Redux" is not how I would characterize this book. If you want to criticize the author, do it in your words not mine.
For what it's worth Frost2pro, your original title was the biased one. "On God and evil" is a title that gave me an impression these topics would be objectively discussed from multiple angles. Instead, you not only gave Michael Tsarion's view point, but the impression you were trying to sell it. And I was disappointed, and did not comment before because I expected more than the same story we hear from others who are proven manipulators.Frost2pro said:I'm not assuming.

And furthermore, from the above referenced page,Laura said:And here we encounter a common trick of disinformation artists, not to mention the mode of "Stalking," to wit:
"One of the tactics of liars is to find a means of subtly allying their message with that of the truth so as to generate confusion in untrained minds which would tend on surface evidence to accept these actually contrary messages as equivalent.
[...]
"Its usual strategy is to begin its work by adhering so closely to the letter of the truth as to be virtually indistinguishable to all but initiated awareness, installing itself through the rhythmic lull of entrainment so as to catch the "congregation" totally off guard when it finally diverges slightly or greatly from the set pattern and so pulls a portion of the truth along with it."
Based upon Lincoln's criterion, one need never leave this humble forum to gain all the knowledge of the universe Just kidding.Lincoln said:On the contrary, it acknowledges its Grand Masters to have been fallible human beings, a representative cross-section of humanity - a few geniuses, a few notables, a few 'average specimens,' a few nonentities, EVEN A FEW FOOLS. Why, we could not but wonder, would a forged or fabricated list include such a spectrum?
Who is 'us/we'?Ronnie said:Many of us feel it goes hand in hand with Laura's work and like we've mentioned before he DOESN"T have the benefit of the C's. This guy is the next best thing to Laura! I even wish they could do a book together.
Personally I am highly skeptical towards anything scaly! If there is a decent source for such type of statement I sure would love to see/read it.Michael Tsarion said:10. The serpent in the garden is good (wished to impart knowledge to Adam and Eve)
I would have to agree with adPop here:Michael Tsarion said:2. Good and evil are 2 sides of the same coin.
And I also spontaneously agree with tschai:First of all, one of the most valuable lessons of the Cass material is that good and evil are entirely subjective. Interpreting actions in terms of STO and STS is far more objective -- a more accurate way of discerning the polarity of choices.
Yes people can come to important conclusions on there own. Even though Laura's and the sott-team's work have furthered my own research and knowledge the most, hands down, I, too did manage to figure out one or two relevant clues on my own and this site merely corroborated parts of my hypothesis.....looks like a rehash of Zecharia Sitchin
Reading all of Tsarion 'qualification' and name-droping associations (even of second and third degree) one really gets the feeling that one is supposed to be impressed into submission. I'm sorry....anart said:I have come to develop an understanding that the first and most telling sign that someone is not who they claim to be is the proclamation that they are the One who is best qualified to tell you the truth.
Thanks for the warning.abraham zilver said:Paul Tillich - (BEWARE! He is obviously another agent for COINTELPRO...)
I do not understand what you are trying to say.abraham zilver said:I feel ill at ease commenting on a blog where the author himself is not allowed to serve retribution. Let him speak and then at your liberty expose him for the dupe he obviosly is. Any good reasearcher worth their grain of salt needs a Devil's advocate in their midst...
The passion for truth is silenced by answers which have the weight of undisputed authority.

This comment appears condescending and rude. If I am misinterpreting this, then could you please clarify?abraham zilver said:I agree that sometimes the irony can be lost on those who have yet to complete their training,
'serve retribution'? That's an odd way to use that word in a sentence. Retribution is something that is served?abraham zilver said:I feel ill at ease commenting on a blog where the author himself is not allowed to serve retribution.
Certainly is.I usually have a retribution salad to accompany my morning coffee and croissant.kenlee said:'serve retribution'?That's an odd way to use that word in a sentence.
