Present – Allen Watts

I have had issues with time all my life . The past was revisited when I was completely knocked out of the cycle of life via psychiatry, Big Pharma and supported by an X who wanted to split .

The eviction again touched on those experiences of childhood which were the ” bullets” used psychologically by X for the win . I had years of non existent reality , huge chunks of lost time that were relived in trauma . Lots of time focused on healing .

Bam , hit again by a business associate.

More time lost , and healing continued after nearly loosing my life , but I accepted Divine’s warning . Rest , sleep , honor thyself , reflect and heal . That is my present ; but doesn’t time keep on slipping into the future ?

Time is a present 🎁

Grateful to be here! At present 🎁

The Illusion of Time: Reclaiming the Present

Alan Watts captures a profound truth: our culture is obsessed with the constructs of past and future, often at the expense of the present moment. We chase memories, replay regrets, and fixate on plans, while the only real experience—the now—slips through our grasp.

Think about a family dinner. Instead of savoring the food and laughter, someone scrolls through their phone, reminiscing about old photos or planning tomorrow’s meeting. The richness of connection is lost. Or consider someone jogging through a park, headphones in, lost in a playlist. They miss the symphony of birds, the crispness of the air, and the beauty of the moment unfolding around them.

Even in conversations, we’re often distracted, crafting responses instead of truly listening. Why? Because we’re tethered to what was or what might be, rarely anchored in what is.

Watts reminds us that life exists only in the present. When we surrender the illusion of time, we reconnect with reality—whether it’s feeling gratitude for a sunrise, immersing ourselves in music, or sharing an unguarded laugh with a friend.

Reality is not yesterday or tomorrow. It is here. Now. Embrace it, and discover the joy of truly living. 🙂

Gold

You Excrete Gold Through Your Skin and Hair:

The human body contains trace amounts of gold. The average human body of about 150 pounds (68 kg) contains about .2 milligrams of gold, most of which is found in our bloodstream.

Unfortunately, it’s not enough to make you rich. It happens on such a microscopic level that it’s impossible to notice or collect.

Ultimately, this gold is naturally released through bodily processes like sweating, shedding skin cells, and hair growth.

The gold in your body plays no significant biological role but is present alongside other essential trace elements. Still, the idea that your body is constantly releasing specks of one of Earth’s most coveted metals is a fascinating and unexpected quirk of human biology

The Matrix

THE MATRIX IS NOT JUST A MOVIE—IT’S AN INTRODUCTION TO ESOTERIC KNOWLEDGE

“The world you perceive is an illusion, a mental construct designed to confine you and obscure your true potential.”

The Matrix is far more than a science-fiction narrative; it is a reflection of humanity’s spiritual journey and an urgent call to awaken from the invisible chains that bind us. Drawing on ancient metaphysical traditions, from Plato’s allegory of the cave to the concept of Māyā in Hindu philosophy, the film serves as a guide to self-realization, a metaphor for transcending the illusions that govern our existence.

Packed with symbols, archetypes, and esoteric messages, The Matrix invites us on a transformative adventure that transcends fiction.

THE CALL TO AWAKENING

The red pill and blue pill scene is no mere plot device; it is the first test of initiation. This pivotal choice represents the universal challenge of free will: the blue pill signifies the comfort of ignorance, while the red pill symbolizes the painful but liberating truth. To take the red pill is to embrace higher knowledge and step onto the path of enlightenment, relinquishing old certainties in favor of a broader reality.

This awakening unfolds in distinct phases of initiation:

1️⃣ The Initial Doubt

Just like Neo, the seeker begins to sense that something is fundamentally wrong with the world. This doubt—this nagging feeling that reality is not as it seems—is the seed of spiritual awakening.

Carl Jung reminds us:

“Man does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.”

This phase compels us to confront our shadows, unearth hidden fears, and question the beliefs that have silently shaped our lives.

2️⃣ Confronting the Truth

The seeker comes to realize that the material world is a façade, a projection designed to keep them enslaved. In The Matrix, this is embodied by the digital construct itself—a carefully orchestrated illusion meant to pacify humanity.

This parallels ancient teachings about the Māyā of Hinduism or the Gnostic concept of the Demiurge, both of which describe a deceptive force that keeps souls trapped in ignorance.

3️⃣ Symbolic Death

Neo’s unplugging from the matrix is a symbolic death—a critical step in all spiritual initiations.

This death represents the dissolution of the ego: the old self, with its attachments and illusions, must “die” for the true self to emerge.

As Joseph Campbell writes in The Hero with a Thousand Faces:

“Initiation is a descent into the unknown, where the old world is destroyed so that the new can emerge.”

This stage is painful yet transformative, a necessary breaking of the old to make way for the new.

4️⃣ Mastering the Real

As Neo learns to bend the rules of the matrix, he steps into his power as a creator of reality.

This final stage of initiation reveals a profound truth: consciousness is the architect of experience. By transcending fear, limitation, and illusion, the seeker becomes fully awakened, capable of shaping their destiny.

THE MATRIX AS A COLLECTIVE ILLUSION

The matrix is not just a computer simulation—it is the metaphorical prison in which we all live. It represents the societal beliefs, fears, and conditioning that hold us captive, much like the shadows in Plato’s cave or the constructs described in Eastern and Gnostic philosophies.

We are surrounded by this matrix every day. It is the projection of external forces—technology, cultural norms, media, and systems of power—designed to keep us asleep to our true nature.

As Morpheus tells Neo:

“The matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. You see it when you look out your window, or when you turn on your television. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.”

The truth is that we, too, live in a matrix: a mental and spiritual construct designed to limit our potential.

BREAKING FREE FROM THE MATRIX

To escape the matrix is to reclaim your power as a conscious being. Here’s how the initiation process helps you transcend illusion:

Self-Knowledge

As Socrates said:

“Know thyself, and you will know the universe.”

Understanding that you are the creator of your reality is the first step to liberation.

Transcending Fear

Morpheus explains that the matrix is powered by fear. By transcending fear, you free yourself from its grip and step into your authentic power.

Awakening Consciousness

Realizing that you are not your thoughts, beliefs, or body is the ultimate key. As Eckhart Tolle writes in The Power of Now:

“True freedom lies in the realization that you are not your mind.”

This awakening shifts your perspective from victim to creator, allowing you to see the world as a reflection of your consciousness.

CHOOSING THE RED PILL EVERY DAY

The choice between the red and blue pill is not a one-time decision—it is a daily practice. Every moment offers a choice: to stay asleep in the comfort of illusion or to face the truth, no matter how uncomfortable.

The journey of awakening is not easy, but it is profoundly rewarding. By stepping out of the matrix, you align with your true essence and reclaim your creative power.

THE PATH TO FREEDOM

Look around you. The matrix is everywhere. It is in the systems that seek to control you, the beliefs that limit you, and the fears that paralyze you. But liberation is possible. By embarking on the journey of initiation, you can dismantle the illusions and step into the fullness of your potential.

Remember:

You are not your conditioning.

You are not your fears.

You are infinite consciousness, capable of shaping your reality.

The choice is yours. Will you take the red pill? Will you awaken to the truth and step into your power? The journey is challenging, but it leads to a life of authenticity, freedom, and boundless possibility.

The matrix may be powerful, but the truth within you is more powerful still. Trust in your inner light, and break free. The time to awaken is now.

Mother Christmas

At this time of the year, the Winter Solstice, a patriarchal theft by the Church is revealed by the concept of “Father Christmas.” It was stolen from the indigenous shamanic cultures primarily from Siberia and the Nordic countries of Northern Norway, Finland (Lapland), and the Arctic Circle.

Long before Santa and his flying steeds, it was the female reindeer who drew the sleigh of the sun goddess at the Winter Solstice. It was when the pagan traditions of winter were “Christianized” that “Father Christmas” was born.

It was never “Father Christmas” that brought gifts and the return of light at the Winter Solstice—it was “Mother Christmas,” the ancient Deer Mother of old. It was she who once flew through winter’s longest darkest night with the life-giving light of the sun in her horns.

And from the British Isles, Scandinavia, Russia, Siberia, across the land bridge of the Bering Strait, she was a revered spiritual figure associated with fertility, motherhood, regeneration and the rebirth of the sun (the theme of winter solstice).

Her antlers adorned shrines and altars, were buried in ceremonial graves and were worn as shamanic headdresses. Her image was etched in standing stones, woven into ceremonial cloth and clothing, cast in jewelry, painted on drums, and tattooed onto skin.

Reindeer were often shown leaping or flying through the air with neck outstretched and legs flung out fore and aft. Her antlers were frequently depicted as the tree of life, carrying birds, the sun, moon, and stars. And across the northern world, it was the Deer Mother who took flight from the dark of the old year to bring light and life to the new.

Sorry Rudolph, but the male reindeer shed their antlers in the winter, it is only the doe who retains her antlers as she is the one who leads the herds in winter. Ever since the early Neolithic period, the female reindeer was venerated by northern people. She was the “life-giving mother,” the leader of the herds upon which they depended for survival, and they followed the reindeer migrations for milk, food, clothing and shelter.

One of these cultures that honored the “life-giving mother, “the Deer Mother was the Sami.

For the Sami, the indigenous people of the Nordic countries, Beaivi is the name for the Sun Goddess associated with motherhood, the fertility of plants and the reindeer. At Winter Solstice, warm butter (a symbol of the sun) was smeared on doorposts as a sacrifice to Beaivi so that she could gain strength and fly higher and higher into the sky. Beaivi was often shown accompanied by her daughter in an enclosure of reindeer antlers and together they returned green and fertility to the land.

Many other winter goddesses in northern legends were associated with the solstice. They took to the skies led by a bevy of flying animals. One tells of the return of Saule, the Lithuanian and Latvian goddess of the sun. She flew across the heavens in a sleigh pulled by horned reindeer and threw pebbles of amber (symbolizing the sun) into chimneys.

While many historical explorations of the pagan origins of Christmas observe the link between Santa’s garb and the red and white amanita mushroom ingesting shamans, few mention that it was the female shamans who originally wore red and white costumes trimmed with fur, horned headdresses or red felt hats! The ceremonial clothing worn by medicine women healers of Siberia and Lapland, was green and white with a red peaked hat, curled toed boots, reindeer mittens, fur lining and trim.

Considering that most of the shamans in this region were originally women, it is likely that their traditional wear is the true source for Santa’s costume. And it is also very likely that they were the first to take shamanic flight with the reindeer on winter’s darkest night.
