The Terrible Burden of Truth

 

 I'm finishing up some work here at Secret Sun Central, but in the meantime it's summer and that means it's time for The Outer Limits.  This is a pure dose of AstroGnosis, and the paranoid brand thereof. 

The Dark Knight of Our Soul

Most people have a stereotype of "conspiracy theorists" as wild-eyed hysterics, who theorize first and maybe-- maybe-- ask questions later. Unfortunately, there's an entire population of conspiratainers and their followers who are hellbent on proving that stereotype right, and then lowering the bar as far as possible.

Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers Prophesy the New State Religion

Madonna should really lay off the steroids.

I wrote recently that I'm increasingly uncomfortable in covering some of the spectacle being broadcast out there, just as it was during Bread and Circuses era of the Roman Empire. 

From Sidon to Cydonia: Remembering David Flynn

Once upon a time, "occult" didn't mean sorcery or black magic, it referred to a corpus of ancient hidden knowledge whose meaning had been lost to the sands of time. It embodied alchemy, astrology, gematria, numerology and other symbolic sciences. 

Prometheus and the Death of Science Fiction

Superheroes have taken pole position in the tentpole box office derby, in front of the sci-fi blockbuster. Even an ostensible sci-fi film like Avatar was actually a classic superhero origin narrative. I bet that John Carter would have been a success had it been marketed as a superhero story (which in fact it is) than a sci-fi extravaganza, which modern audiences are a bit weary of. 

Listen to What the Man Says.

I'd like to offer some words of advice to my Synchromystic brothers and sisters, and even to those in the conspiracy research field. Be very careful about what you choose to focus on. Realize that when you put something on your blog - you are identifying yourself with it. 

This is not a game, these symbols are not toys, these events are not reality television and what you focus on will probably end up focusing on you, as well.

There are dark energies out there, searching for conduits. And they thrive on negative attention: it all adds to their mystique. Think long and hard on it.
