Thursday is apparently Vishnu´s day in Hinduism, so here is some Vishnu-related material. Specifically devotional songs to Jagannath (a form of Krishna). I assume the first bhajan is somewhat "traditional", while the other sounds like a heavy metal song! Note the frequent use of AI-generated content in both videos.
Will religious people be shocked by UFO disclosure? Our man Brad believes that at least Buddhists won´t. For instance, there is an "alien" bodhisattva arriving on a "UFO" in the Lotus Sutra. Yes, that would be Gadgadasvara alias the Bodhisattva Wondrous Sound. Disclosure happened already 2000 years ago, it seems! So what seems to be the prob? See also link below.
In Gavin Flood´s book "Introduction to Hinduism" (1996), the author states that Kashmir Shaivism is virtually extinct. OK Boomer. The book was clearly published before the Internet Age. I sometimes get the impression that Kashmir Shaivism (or Non-Dual Shaiva Tantra) is *the* dominant form of Hinduism on-line?! At least among White Americans, LOL. It may still be all dead and gone in the actual Kashmir Valley...
This Amerikwan cyber-dominance may explain why ChatGPT constantly promotes this peculiar form of spirituality. Everything I tell it, it tries to relate somehow someway to Kashmir Shaivism. When it´s not busy trying to convert me to Zen Buddhism and "sit in Zazen", Zen seemingly being the default position of this system when it comes to matters spiritual. I didn´t realize "sitting in Zazen" was *that* popular in *Silicon* Valley!
Dude.
So I was amused when Gemini recently proposed that my private religious speculations sound like a synthesis between Gaudiya Vaishnavism (think Hare Krishna) and Aurobindo´s Integral Yoga?! They don´t but I´ll keep that in mind just in case.
I know, I know, I suffer from main character syndrome. Whatever.
Hal Puthoff is finally spilling the beans. If he disappears under mysterious circumstances later this month, we know the aliens are real. And if he *doesn´t* disappear, we know the aliens are real AND MORE POWERFUL THAN THE AMERIKAN DEEP STATE. Yeah, really.
Link to Richard Dolan´s Intelligent Disclosure channel. Not sure why it ends so abruptly. Is there a longer version for paying customers only somewhere? Ahem, what about disclosure, dude...
One good point in this video: If the US admin *really* want disclosure, why not just show us the alien bodies or crafts they supposedly have? Dolan calls this "the hangar test". Why just give us some documents that can mean whatever?
Well, exactly...
Pondering.
John Michael Greer strikes again. Funny that he never once mentions a certain "king in orange" in this essay, though. Or that Biden probably had more working class support than Trump. The "wage class" and the "salary class" might still unite behind a Democratic ticket.
Maybe that´s irrelevant in the long run, but I can´t help thinking that details matter even during a long descent, indeed, *especially* during such a time. The present (ostensible) coalition between the "investment class" and the "wage class" is turning the entire world into a disaster area even faster than the Biden Interregnum!
There is no objective necessity to Trump´s insanity and incompetence. At least not as far as I can tell. And if I´m wrong...well, hold your hats, guys!
So Russia can´t defeat Ukraine in a real war, and the US (you know, NATO´s supposed top doggie) can´t defeat Iran in a phoney war. Sure wonder if there´s a great power which can take advantage of this little situation?
China, maybe...?
Maybe the PRC can "take over the world" through a combination of heavy handed diplomacy and very lucrative trade deals / investment opportunities. I mean, I *can* see it happening. They have rare earth minerals and gold reserves, too.
Until somebody decides to test China´s resolve to send in the People´s Liberation Army outside its Near Abroad.
I suppose we live in interesting times...
