Mouravieff uses the terms A and B Influences as useful labels or containers for various external and internal influences (respectively). Tuning into A influences keeps one plugged into and ruled by external influences, ruled by Chance. B influences are those which introduce and inspire free will and conscious decision making based on introspection. Tuning into B influences encourages the development of a ‘real I’ as opposed to the fickle, ephemeral mixture of myriad ‘little I’s which external man is ruled by.

As Mouravieff says in his Gnosis series,

In esoteric teaching this figure could be said to be the most important. It incorporates a multitude of ideas; far more than the comments we are about to give. That is why we must return to it often and meditate upon it.

The large circle is life (the World). The little black arrows are A influences. The white arrows are B influences. As humans we are bombarded with many external (A) influences. With covert oppression, the A influences can come from anywhere, but the arrows that are closest to us will have the largest effects.

The black arrows represent influences created within life by life itself.

If you look closely, you’ll see there for every black arrow there is another pointing in the opposite direction, canceling each other out. Being controlled by A influences doesn’t get a person anywhere, and so A influences are illusory. Mouravieff referred to the force that generates these influences as the General Law. The white arrows however are all pointing in one direction. These are B influences –the internal influences as developed through introspection. The force that generates B influences is referred to as the Law of Exception.

Each of the three circles is an example of the progress of one of the main centers (intellectual, emotional, motor) comprising a person. The whiteness is what Mouravieff called the ‘magnetic center’ -it is the concentration of greater Consciousness. This develops as a person grows, and is triggered by great shocks (can you say gang stalking,alien abduction, etc).

It may first appear as chunks of greater order within each of the centers, but if a person develops the ability to discern B influences and tune into them, it grows into a lasting real I. Mouravieff talks about the shocks as being the fire that melts the various little I’s into a magnetic center. As with everything else, this development happens in degrees. One cross section of this process is the move from Personality (the self image that is projected onto us and made up of several smaller ‘I’s), toward greater liberation and consciousness -the shaded areas represent all the little I’s –the external influences that have effected our Personality.

Gurdjieff talks about the same ideas and says that the Personality is a protective shell that grows around the Essence or true Self. As we develop, we eventually outgrow the system, and so the system responds by trying to regulate us through any means possible. If we really start to understand how connected we are to the environment in which we live, this is not so difficult to see as being just like the physical body regulating cells with hormones and various chemical injections -Mouravieff’s model.

Moving from the General Law to the Law of Exception seems to involve a lot of sorting // introspection, and is the main goal of Fourth Way and other esoteric studies. -There are many angles to explore that seem helpful in understanding what can feel like a whirlwind of new input and daunting obstacles, and I think this post is a great tie-in…so back to the post at hand…

The Magnetic Center

Before the formation of a magnetic center, a person and their personality is like a container filled with many disparate elements // iron filings. The Way, which is many things and a unique process for each person, involves things like sorting through the lower centers and competing input from external sources in order to become truly introspective and able to consider each mode of the lower centers from a detached vantage point. This stage draws to one the shocks that begin to make order out of all the isolated aspects of being. The shocks that nudge a person to keep developing are represented by the flames in the figure below. The last figure is not usually featured with the first two. I include it here to show an example of the beginning of a magnetic center forming, but still largely influenced by portions of the three centers, such as a magnetic center begins to form in the intellectual center, and the emotional center, but not to the point that they are able to connect with each other in such a way that the real I is ruler of the lower centers. Progress is progress…

We do not register the messages from the higher centres, which are ceaselessly working in us at full capacity. this is not only because out lower centres are under-developed, but also because they are not equilibrated. We must therefore apply ourselves to stimulate the growth of the Personality within us, and to equilibrate and regulate the work of our three centres. By the intensive practice of self-observation, we must try hard to distinguish the work of each centre within us, then the work of their two parts, and lastly of their sectors. So we enter within ourselves.

So these shocks such as gang stalking and etheric interference occur. The state and process of Introspection painstakingly takes us through the process of sorting through the various inputs (purely intellectual, intellectual-emotional, intellectual-motor, and so on, with negative versions of each set, making up the 6 sectors of each lower center). It (the circle of Life) tends to provide us with a lot of General Law Pressure, which intensifies the shocks and the impetus to sort through the Personality.

There are always A and B influences in this life, but particularly during periods of shock, we are able to see a larger perspective of the A influences, which removes some of their ability to affect us, and also begin to see and tune into more B influences.

The risk is that during this critical window of opportunity, the seemingly contradictory information coming from external and internal sources, and the seemingly conflicting natures of our personality and true Self, can be so daunting that we crumble under the pressure and return to being influenced primarily by A influences.

The Process

This phase in the development of individuals involves great shocks, streams of previously unknown information coming in, the need to distinguish more decidedly between external and internal influences as these things are all sorted through. We each have our own unique ways of tackling this process. For some it’s very conscious and intellectual and diagramming things can help, for some it’s very subconscious and dream work and journaling help a lot. There are endless possibilities of how these challenges and opportunities may arise and be utilized for each person.

Typically, the process involves multiple Dark Nights of the Soul. After all, it’s difficult to sort through all the functions and aspects of self, though largely it’s a matter of patience and persistence. Naturally, these lower points in the process can be extremely daunting. I try to remember that eventually new information settles and finds a place of meaning, and try not to give into extreme first impressions of such new perspective. For example, if you’re wavering back and forth between thinking one thing about a situation and some completely different impression of the same situation one some other hand, this is a sign that some new, larger perspective is being born, but because we do not yet have the experiential pieces to interpret it, our mind does the best it can with black and white symbolism / dualism. The subject of the second guessing is often symbolic, in this case perhaps implying that the person one is considering to be a possible agent though we are very unsure because the rest of the time they seem normal… is probably not involved consciously, but is an example of A influences coming from those closest to us in our lives // vectors of the General Law. Again, there are infinite possible psychological effects and phenomena that can occur during this stage. Many great works of art are expressions of this great work of sorting. In scanning the bookshelf just now a Rimbaud book sort of leaped out, and so here is a fine sample of [what he calls] A Season in Hell:

Once, If I remember well, my life was a feast where all hearts opened and all wines flowed.

One evening I seated Beauty on my knees. And I found her bitter. I cursed her.

I armed myself against justice.

I fled. O Witches, Misery, Hate, to you has my treasure been entrusted!

I contrived to purge my mind of all human hope. On all joy, to strangle it, I pounced with the stealth of a wild beast.

I called to the executioners while dying to let me gnaw on the buttends of their guns. I called to he plagues to smother me in blood, in sand. misfortune was my God. I laid myself down in mud. I dried myself in the air of crime. I played sly tricks on madness.

And spring brought me the idiot’s frightful laughter.

Now, only recenly, being on the point of giving my last croak, I thought of looking for the key to the ancient feast where I might find my appetite again.

Charity is that key. –This inspiration proves that i have dreamed!

To me this describes several aspects of this sorting … a strong impression of B influences (the ancient feast). The crisis of seeing that Beauty was not all it was cracked up to be, the realization that much of what has comprised a sense of Identity has been built on A influences, on lies meant to hold us pacified, in our place. Reconsidering all the truths and standards we’d previously accepted. The madness is a comment on sorting through all the A influences, trying to make them fit into a world where the B influences are also true. It’s enough to drive one crazy until we realize that, practically speaking, the only progressive purpose of A influences is to define and better distinguish the B influences (…now, only recently, being on the point of giving my last croak, I thought of looking for the key to the ancient feast…).

Incorrectly Discerning A and B Influences

One possible outcome of incorrectly distinguishing A from B influences is the formation of what Mouravieff called black magnetic centers:

…represents the situation where man deludes himself and, believing he is absorbing B influences and making the necessary selection all the while, he in fact absorbs A influences, those of the black arrows that are in some way parallel to the white arrows of the B influences. This will put him into contact with people who possess magnetic centres of the same nature: who are themselves duped or who dupe others, and who have no direct or indirect link with the esoteric Centre.

I think anyone who has experienced covert harassment can find several examples of this in the activity of the stalker-critters. Some of them truly do believe they are righteously following some right and true narrow path, when in reality they are influenced only by A influences. Signs of this situation are people who take part in gang stalking activities because they believe that they are somehow helping to punish or keep an eye on some dangerous or undesirable individual.

Another possible outcome is that, though one receives many shocks and starts the work of looking more deeply at themselves, eventually A influences overtake the B influences. If the person feels it’s easier to go back to sleep and ignores the B influences, the magnetic center can be reabsorbed by the lower centers. Not to be confused with the very normal lulls and troughs in normal development through this stage.

If a person is able to ride out all the crazy effects of General Law pressure and the various lenses of perspective that we navigate as we make order of the various types of input and introspection, reactionism and free will, one will successfully generate a magnetic center. The magnetic center is a lasting I that will help the person to gather deeper insight from B influences. This is the first step to attaining true Consciousness.

During this stage, the trials and dark nights tend to cause a great amount and experience of isolation. As our views of the world change we find that our acquaintances are no longer relevant, or perhaps even act as vectors of attack. As TIs we have trouble explaining our experiences to others who have not had similar experiences. We are often disbelieved, or doubted, and labeled delusional. Besides all these kinds of challenges, the very act of turning inward and engaging Introspection in order to sort through all the surreal events, can add to a feeling of isolation.

This is the straight and narrow path, the gauntlet between the Law of Accident and true Will, it is a very personal journey that we must each make on our own and man are there some interesting effects and lessons along the way, though once we have developed a relatively solid understanding of your own Process, we can start to connect in meaningful ways with others who have also found larger perspectives and greater freedom along with the intense challenges and obstacles that manifest in one’s life.

Since A influences neutralize each other, B influences actually constitute the only reality.

the small circle with the shaded lines represents man, who in this figure is taken in isolation. The oblique shaded lines signify that the nature of exterior man is not homogeneous: it is mixed.

If man spends his life without distinguishing between A and B influences, he will end it as he started one could say mechanically, driven by the Law of Accident. However, according to the nature and the intensity of the resultant forces to which he is subjected, it can happen to him to make a brilliant career, in the meaning the world gives to this expression.

Yet he will come to the end of this days without having either learned or understood anything of Reality. And earth returns to Earth.

In life, every being is subjected to a sort of competitive test. If he discerns the existence of the B influences; if he acquires a taste for gathering and absorbing them; if he continually aspires to assimilate them better; his mixed inner nature will slowly undergo a certain kind of evolution. And if the efforts which he makes to absorb the B influences are constant and sufficient in force, a magnetic center can be formed within him. This magnetic center is represented in the diagram by the small white space.

If this centre once born in him is carefully developed, it takes form, and in its turn will exercise an influence over the results of the A arrows which are always active, deflecting them. Such a deflection may be violent. In general it transgresses the laws of exterior life and provokes many conflicts in and around man. If he loses the battle, he emerges with the conviction that the B influences are nothing but illusion: that the only reality is represented by the A influences. Slowly the magnetic center which had been formed within him is reabsorbed and vanishes. Then, from the esoteric point of view, his situation is worse than the one he had started with, when he was just beginning to discern the B influences.

But if he emerges a winner in this first struggle, his magnetic centre, consolidated and reinforced, will draw him to a man having a C influence stronger than his own, and possessing a stronger magnetic center. And so on in succession, the last man being in connection with another having an influence D, who will be his link with the Esoteric Centre E.

Henceforth in life, that man will no longer be isolated. He will certainly continue to live as before under the action of the A influence, which for a long time will continue to exercise their power over him; yet little by little, thanks to the effect of the influence of the chain B – C - D - E, his magnetic centre will develop. To the measure of its growth, the man will escape the dominion of the Law of Chance and enter the domain of Consciousness.

3. Types of General Law Pressure
4. A and B Influences: The Process
5. Personality versus Essence

It could be said that Personality is a result of acting upon A influences. Essence (the real I) is a result of tuning into B influences. Personality is a conglomerate of identities we mistake for true Identity. These are projected onto a person by the World, by others with whom we’ve lived and learned from/with, via A influences. Some of these we can clearly distinguish as ‘what so-and-so thinks of me, not what I think of myself’, and other projected bits of consensus I, we may have accepted as our own. These latter type can be somewhat trickier -or at least more involved- in trying to investigate and sort through the various connections.

According to Mouravieff et al Fourth Way student-teachers,

Personality can be broken into 3 centers: intellectual, emotional, and motor/instinct. Each of the three ‘lower centers’ is split into several sections. The intellectual has purely-intellectual, intellectual-emotional and intellectual-motor facets, which in turn each have positive and negative versions, and so on for each of the lower centers. The higher centers in the Intellectual and Emotional portions of personality show that these factions have been reconciled, balanced and sorted. The following is a diagram that shows these centers when one is at the point of beginning the transition from external man to internal man (and one I added labels to).

Long before I knew anything about esoteric philosophy, I had a very unexpected experience of seeing my Personality as distinctly separate from my Essence or True Self.

I was giving a book report presentation in front of the class in sixth grade. Up to that point I had been a very outgoing kid who didn’t hesitate to get up in front of people and talk or otherwise express myself. I guess we all have moments of sudden self-consciousness, but this came with many additional and completely new perspectives. I had not prepared a formal presentation; I’d read and really liked the book, so I thought I’d just get up there and talk about it. I remember looking over at the student teacher to see she had a very disapproving, sort of fuming look on her face –like she knew I hadn’t prepared, hadn’t put forth the right kind or enough effort (something like that: she didn’t like me). That distracted me a bit. I kept talking and looked back at the classroom of other kids.

Suddenly the experience changed a LOT. I *saw* (it’s like errr a symbolic mental sight) something like a cloud of holograms overlapping each other here and there, making up this consensus what/who other people think I am. Next, I realized that it was quite different from my idea of myself. And then, that there was very little I could do to influence the consensus Cassie. It seems like I tried to reach for some of the consensus projection of my personality that I’d actually found to be useful (such as being good/smart at tests/school, or charismatic ), but they just didn’t hold up with those x-ray lenses in place. The charisma and joy of sharing was impeded by the daunting view that I couldn’t make anyone see the real me and plenty of them didn’t care / wouldn’t be able to see the difference between those two types of self, even in themselves.

It seems like all the rest (trusted Personality bits) fell away as equally illusory as the inaccurate representations projected onto me, even if I had chosen to accept some of them –because I don’t remember exactly what happened in class except for what I’ve just related.

The experience also seemed to magnetize toward me a series of similar social meltdown moments here and there through junior high and high school. //It changed me deeply, went on to engender many interesting and useful insights toward deeper understanding of my place in the scheme of things -mostly I was inspired by all the possibilities and infinite evolution I saw beginning to unfold around me.

As a 14-16 year old, I was very absorbed in digging through and poking/turning around/getting rid of any/all personality bits so I could get started being me.

Once I had a little game
I liked to crawl back in my brain
I think you know the game I mean
I mean the game called ‘go insane’

Now you should try this little game
Just close your eyes forget your name
Forget the world, forget the people
And we’ll erect a different steeple.

This little game is fun to do.
Just close your eyes, i’m going too.
And I’m right here, no way to lose.
Release control, we’re breaking through

Personality as a Cocoon we must emerge from if we are to continue to grow and evolve

Gurdjieff describes Personality as a shell similar to the one I saw projected onto me during my presentation. This shell is meant to protect the developing Essence, like the hull of a piece of grain or nutshell protects the developing meat/substance within. Over time, entanglement with external influences, unmediated by introspection, the shell of Personality grows into an immovable armor that begins to impede progress. Gurdjieff uses slightly different labels than Mouravieff. Rather than ‘real I’ being a degree closer to greater Consciousness, there is true Personality and false personality, where true personality is closer to Essence/Consciousness than false Personality. True personality is something that best protects the Essence while also allowing it to expand and evolve until the time when  Personality as one distinct and rigid ‘I’ is outgrown, whereas false personality is armor/scaffolding that is hinders the development of Essence -it’s all the negative result of defining ourselves too much by A influences and materialistic standards.

The infant’s dream-like association of ideas is slowly won over to an agreement of what should constitute reality. By the time our reasoning has developed enough to reflect on the process by which our reasoning has formed, we are part and parcel of the whole process, caught up in and sustaining it. By the time the young rebel reaches the age of rebellion his is inevitably that against which he would rebel

Pearce

Going back to the diagram of the Personality,

Mouravieff talks about external man as having 3 distinct types: Man 1,2, and 3. These are correlated to the intellectual, emotional and action/motor aspects of personality. Man 4 is still considered to be external man, but a balanced one in much more control over the direction that is taken, more resistant to A influences, resonating more with B influences.

Man 4

When the magnetic center finally takes shape, it establishes an undisputed authority over the three centres of the Personality. He who was man 1,2 or 3 becomes man 4. Throughout this stage of his evolution such a man will have the task of recognizing the mode in which each of these three mental centres is functioning, assigning its proper role to each of them, and equilibrating them. This is how the magnetic centre’s growth is perfected and how its development commences. The latter is a function of conscious efforts to develop the lower centres up to their limits. The further this development is continued, the more the magnetic center absorbs the lower emotional centre, at the same time identifying itself more and more with the higher emotional centre. Once the three lower centres are fully developed and equilibrated, the magnetic center oce and for all identifies itself with the hgiher emotional centre, dragging with it the lower emotional center, with the magnetic center, will form an integral part of the higher emotional centre.

Another interesting thing shown in Mouravieff’s diagrams is how one moves from being easily influenced by external influences, and how as Man 1,2, and 3, the three centers (intellectual, emotional and motor) are deeply connected.

In the above diagram there is either little or no magnetic center formed yet. Without a sense of true Self that the magnetic center provides, a person is influenced heavily by many unseen aspects of their lower intellectual, emotional and motor centers.

For example, a shock to the intellect effects the emotional aspect via it’s ties to the positive and negative aspects of the emotional-intellectual portions (2 of the wedges in the lower emotional center). I believe this also explains the bouts of utter cacophony of thoughts, emotions and reactions that manifest and are sorted through as one moves through the experiences of covert oppression.

As one sorts through the aspects of the lower centers nad/or tunes into B influences, a magnetic center is formed. As the magnetic center develops it makes it possible for a person to detach somewhat from the lower centers; to be able to analyze and consider each aspect from a larger perspective:

For now we’ll leave off from the progress of personality>essence in Mouravieff’s diagrams, with one final figure, a glimpse at the next stage:

Mouravieff says about this diagram,

This scheme of a man who has become complete and immortal in accordance with the meaning of the words of St. Paul: ‘We shall not all die but we shall all be changed?’ The higher emotional centre, now placed in the centre ofthe figure, has absorbed the lower emotional centre. The significance of the dotted lines in this –as well as the link with the sexual centre– will be explained later.

And, additionally, about Man 4, 5, 6 and 7:

This union [above] realized, he who has carried out this work on himself will become Man 5.

In contrast to men 1,2, or 3 who are called exterior men, men 5,6, and 7 are interior men.

By establishing a link between the higher emotional centre and the hgiher intellectual centre, man 5 will become man 6, after which all that weill be left for him to do is to consolidate the results. This consolidation is the last stage of esoteric evolution.

The tasks for each stage of evolution can be defined as follows:

Man 4 – to recognize the existence of the three lower centres, make them grow and develop to the limit, and regulate their functioning;

Man 5 – to acquire new faculties and powers;

Man 6 - to develop the faculties thus acquired to their utmost limits;

Man 7 – to consolidate the results obtained.

We’ll come back to this process of moving from personality to essence, dealing with the tangled aspects of the lower centers and transforming negative aspects to positive ones to enhanced the development of the magnetic centers. Welcome to the Process,

The “ego” – in the negative sense- is that ossified sense of a stable, unchanging ‘self’ which people use as a defense against the Fear of Change and Death. It’s SELF as a suit of armor; protective or comforting at times SELF doesn’t allow much room to maneuver, make effective contact or adapt to new situations. Otherwise, the Ego, with a big ‘E’ can be a useful tool like everything else lying around here. Ego creates the heroic drive towards the Transcendence which CONSUMES AND RESOLVES that drive into a higher context.

It must be remembered that you can’t go beyond ego until you’ve developed on to go beyond. The ego, as Individual Self, is scaffolding for what we can call superself or the memeplex (to use Susan Blackmore’s revolutionary theory). Scaffolding is a necessary part of any construction project but for the last couple of hundred years we’ve been encouraged to mistake the scaffolding for the building. The individual sovereign self once seemed such a developmental prize that it’s now very difficult to let go of it without incurring amusing existential extinction traumas, but like all other stages of growth it IS just a stage and must be surpassed.

Demoting the concept of the ‘individual’ by deliberately engineering multiple, conferring ‘egos’, personae, memeplexes or selves is intended, at least by me, as a method if breaking up the existential, calcified, individual ‘Self’ into more fluid Multiple Personality constellations, by exposing ‘the personality’ as just one behavioral option from a menu of many.

1. Esoteric Teachings and Covert Oppression
2. The General Law and The Law of Exception
3. Types of General Law Pressure
4. A and B Influences: The Process
5. Personality versus Essence

When a person comes up against the General Law because they are becoming further individuated beyond their originally allotted niche, this can come in direct and indirect forms. Direct pressure comes in the form of abduction, stalking, harassment. Indirect pressure is just that, indirect and so insidious. It tends to come as moral pressure from those closest to us, or outright betrayal by close friends or family members.

Thinking with our systems lens in place, this just makes sense. If I’m a herder program responsible for multitudes of sheep, I’m going to have to automate a lot of my shepherd functions. To handle wayward sheep it would be most efficient to deliver ‘corrections’ through the environment, through the sheep closest to the troublemaker. And so individuals experience things like cryptically themed comments, general interference or more active forms of betrayal from people they once trusted. A key note is that in these cases the people are not consciously trying to harass or attack you, they are just keeping in line with what the right thing seems to be -unfortunately this notion of ‘the thing to do’ can be influenced in such a way that the most nefarious actions can be rationalized as deserved or normal by the person who is acting on behalf of the General Law, or they may not even be aware of it. There are also extremely mundane examples where the deliverers of Pressure are willing participants who want to disturb or harm the target, but personally, I’ve found that even networks of human beings seeking to cause discord are yet another type of outcropping of the General Law. Everyone has a different relationship with the status quo, so there’s no accounting for the various ways other people will react to General Law Pressure when they are nudged to act against another person.

It is helpful to remember that the General Law acts upon us through the system, through A influences, all the time. When one reaches the point where they are relatively unaffected by A influences, the A influences have not disappeared, but can be seen as a background field of energy that most people are plugged into (to varying degrees). In the diagram to the left, the A influence arrows are all pervasive within the circle of one’s life. These little black arrows carry out all the system’s orders, just like neurotransmitter chemicals convey the orders of the system.

The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you’re inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it

In the Matrix movie, the matrix is a virtual digital reality, whereas the real version is a virtual reality built on the chemicals of emotion. The way to unplug is to detach from negative emotions, or better yet transform negative emotions into positive perspectives. But before we look at how to liberate ourselves let’s look more closely at the main force we’re up against.

The General Law is something we are exposed to from birth. Also referred to as the Law of Accident, most of us come into the world attached to this force. We absorb the consensus opinions and customs, and spread the culture to others we know, but mainly ride along being bumped this way and that, ruled by external influences. In the grand scheme of things, being nurtured by systemic standardized input is just a natural phase of development. Like babes in the womb, we suck and absorb what is given us, and eventually we outgrow the incubator and go on to the next stage.

When a person reaches a certain degree of development they begin to see through many of the limitations that they previously accepted from the system. When the individual stops responding as readily to the dictates of control sent out by the powers-that-be, just like in the physical body, control centers are notified of the rogue cell and all kinds of chemical messages are sent out to get the situation back under control.

In discussing the General Law, some useful terms are direct pressure and indirect pressure, which indicate the quality of pressure applied. Then there are 3 main modes through which either quality of pressure may connect with the target: the physical, mental and moral.

Direct Pressure

Direct pressure are the things that bubble up within daily reality to disturb, scare or distract us when we are trying to break free from a strong connection to the status quo. These can manifest in many ways, but the defining trait is that they seem to just happen as one is going about their day. It might be being followed by the same people and vehicles, or maybe conversation topics that repeat with unconnected people and seem to surround a deeper emotional meaning for you. Or it could be something more obviously sinister like abduction or intelligent seeming threats about your not fitting into some moral code or obligation.

When it comes to direct pressure, the only real solution is knowledge. As you gain experience, you gain knowledge which increases awareness so that you can see and avoid potential threats where you would not have been able to before, and which you can apply to make more informed decisions in general. So try to roll with the punches when it comes to direct pressure and have faith in the process.

Indirect Pressure

In truth, everyone is subject to the pressures of the General Law and the possibility of becoming a channel for it’s pressure being applied to someone else. Though those who are relatively less conscious and not aware of these aspects of reality are likelier to become agents, even more developed people consciously working on understanding these things can become temporary agents if they let their guard down -perhaps drink a bit too much or otherwise ‘think out loud’ before considering where the urge is coming from, as just a couple examples.

A person’s susceptibility also depends on the priority level of the target. Naturally, if someone has been deemed a very dangerous threat by the system, there is going to be greater pressure. The greater the pressure, the less likely a person is to withstand this kind of influence. Also, the closer a person is to the target makes them a likelier channel, though only if they are not on a similar path (if an acquaintance of the target has a strong magnetic center and can generally see through A influences, they are not likely to be affected to the point of being puppeted against the target). In group situations, the General Law is providing incentive to belong to a unified group (as it’s proclaimed), at the same time the group is used to show how uncomfortable not fitting in can be for the target.

It’s these indirect forms of Pressure that seem to be the most trying experiences for people because it calls into doubt many of their most trusted and cherished friends or family members.

I think the most important things to remember when dealing with indirect pressure through dubious actions of friends and family members are

1) most negative synchronicity (manufactured coincidence) between people who generally know each other quite well, is unintentional and unconscious.

We all do this to/with each other all the time. Oftentimes it’s a neutral and natural tuning into the same ideas and goals, and sometimes these channels are nudged by general law forces. It can really help to ask the person to clarify what they said or did. If it was not intentionally cryptic or rude, the person will talk about it with you. If it was intentionally disturbing, the person’s reaction will show it. They will laugh in a dismissing, cryptic or malicious way, or perhaps act in disbelief -quickly followed by righteous indignation. In my experience, these latter signs point to it being a good idea to reconsider the relationship. Which brings me to

2) Avoid mixing with people who’ve been vectors of attack in the past.

I’m not saying that all discord in a relationship stems from incurable incompatibility in a relationship, but if there are not many more signs of respective progress than negativity and attack, it’s probably a good time to reconsider the relevancy you each have with each other. That’s not to say that you have to completely disconnect from someone who is very important to you (though that is always an option), but maybe limit your interactions with them. Of course it’s up to you.

In my experiences I found it necessary to completely disconnect from several people who had acted as vectors of attack. Some were more witting and I do not miss them, a few were better friends where I had to come to the conclusion that we’re just on paths that are too different because so much Pressure was coming through them and they were unaware and unwilling to discuss it or even acknowledge.

It seems there is systemic pressure not only to fit in, but also that it’s easier to trigger the General Law alarm when mingling with groups of very conventional, relatively less conscious people. Or even that connecting about some general concept of unity or group interest makes detection much less likely.  The general pattern seems to be that the more in tune I am with another person (have some basis of similar experiences, or have similar paths / goals, etc), the more we can connect about progress and freedom ideas, without inciting the wrath of the general law. //because we’re both on similar pages, one is less likely to stand out from ‘the crowd’ as being a troubling exception. I think a clearer explanation for all these effects is that we can somewhat affect how likely it is for the General Law to be able to attack us, by controlling the number of potential vectors. More importantly and fun, is that such new connections with relevant others can lead to great synergy and discoveries as energies and notes are combined.

When Mouravieff says

“As long as man accepts the principle of the final annihilation of his Personality without a fight, he can carry on in life without attracting the increasing pressures of the General Law upon himself“

this can be seen in two ways. First, simply that having a firm aspiration to continue existing beyond the limits and requirements of the World, draws the attention and reprimand of the General Law. I don’t think that Mouravieff was saying that one must accept the principle of the final annihilation of Personality; I think he is saying that if one does not dare to expand beyond the limits set forth by the General Law there is no danger of attracting the attention of the General Law.  Yet the choice of words is interesting, and could be taken to mean that annihilation of Personality is necessary, yet that by forsaking Personality in order to develop the Essence (or true Self), we can establish a lasting identity untouchable by the General Law and pressures of the World.

Personality (ego) is a sort of identification tag used to identify oneself within a system. We are each comprised of deeper aspects of Self, as well as more temporary and surface aspects. These surface aspects and labels are our personality, an external presentation of ourselves to others, to the system in which we live.

Personality Tagging -or how not to incite the General Law

For me, after a longer period of decreased Pressure and related harassment, it was clearly a case of ‘personality tagging’ that brought a slap from the General Law. Being that I was unsure of how to interact with a new person I did not have a lot in common with, I fell back on talking about standby ‘about me’ information. Where I’d gone to school, a few basic (well worn) philosophical stances. Not that I just talked about myself, but that the conversation revolved around the whole ‘who are you and what do you do for a living’ kind of  interaction that was happening, which is all status quo kind of stuff. So, it seems to me that ‘making due’ in a situation where I had little in common with the other person, by giving in to ‘personality’ based discussion, raised some kind of system alert. The next thing I knew the person was behaving like an agent type, mentioning cryptic themes and that type of direct pressure event.

Annihilation of the personality does not mean annihilation of self, or individuality, but letting go of the scaffolding that helped us grow into the more individuated beings that we now are. Really it’s letting go of a lot of the social labels we’ve never really used to identify us to ourselves anyway, so it’s not necessarily a difficult or negative experience, but like every step along the path, conscious intention is required. I think it can be helpful to consider what might be some distinctions in your own life, between personality / ego and your higher or deeper Self. Traits of ego or personality tend to concern self-image, reputation, etc. , whereas traits of deeper identity tend to include service to others or intent to benefit others along with the more personal goal.

Working with the Law of Exception means becoming ever more individuated (unique) while also becoming a more efficient, specialized, part of a larger system. So while letting go of some personality scaffolding can be uncomfortable, this will make it easier to escape detection by the General Law, as well as open you to greater possibilities for self-discovery and meaningful interaction.

Grant Morrison said,

…The ego, as Individual Self, is scaffolding for what we can call superself or the memeplex

[...]

Scaffolding is a necessary part of any construction project but for the last couple of hundred years we’ve all been encouraged to mistake the scaffolding for the building…

…Magicians who have successfully “crossed” the Abyss are considered no longer human, in the sense that survival of this ordeal necessitates the breaking down of SELF into multiple personality complexes…

One way of looking at overcoming the General Law is that if you find the ways in which you are more useful to the larger system, you become relatively free from the laws of the smaller system.

But before we get too cocky, remember that awareness is the key to avoiding Pressure because there are many possible avenues of interference. We can’t concern ourselves with every possible angle of attack because those are variables. Getting locked into left-brain analysis when we can’t see all the pieces is counter-productive because connection with the higher self comes through intution and flows in the present, not plans for the future or replays of the past. I think it’s important to learn what you can from each encounter with general law pressure, but to add these to your knowledge bank as potentially useful information rather than explained and accomplished feats. Assuming you have the perfect equation for avoiding the General Law is the easiest way to attract it again and again.

Mouravieff says,

It must be realized that in placing himself under the aegis of the Law of Exception, man goes against the General Law, which he is even called upon to overthrow, if only on an individual scale. He must not forget–under penalty of ‘surprise attack’–the salvation depends on victory over the Devil, which as we have said, is the personalized moral aspect of the General Law. This is so, even though this, being a cosmic law, is naturally a divine law. One must not be afraid, as the Law of Exception is also a divine law. In choosing it, man continues to serve the interests of the whole, but differently and in an incomparably more efficient manner. During his fight against the first law, he is subject to tests that often take the form of temptations.

The case is totally different if he struggles to surpass the limits which it imposes. It acts simultaneously on several planes: physical, mental, and moral. Its action on the moral plane is conceived by man, since time immemorial, in the form of a personification: the Devil.

Above, Mouravieff talks about how pressure comes in physical, mental and moral forms. These different ways the General Law manifests, account for the seemingly very different experiences of individuals, when the nature of the experience is quite similar. Whether it seems to better fit the category of ‘multi-dimensional attack’ like alien abduction, or ‘mundane harassment’ like the basic aspects of gang stalking, the experiences have similarities. Many experiences of the General Law that seem dissimilar on the outside, are very similar in nature. Sharing with and learning about other’s experiences with General Law pressure can help us in understanding our own unique path and inherent challenges.

For me, the category of physical pressure includes the seeming impossibility of situations where there are dozens of stalkers or chains of synchronous negative events and the outright physical attacks as well. To me physical pressure is anything that’s physical or defies our understanding of physics. I think it’s probably similar with most people, but the initial and great shocks tend to be physical or physical/mental forms of interference that challenge our very basic ideas about reality and/or the nature of people in general, whereas the more difficult, longer battle or process comes in the form of moral / emotional interference, carried out through mental and emotional channels.

Mental pressure can manifest in a number of ways, such as second guessing oneself, doubting known truths, changing one bit of information to change a larger perspective of the target -a lot of the gaslighting (attempted induced confusion) could fit into the mental pressure category.

the Devil

As Mouravieff touches on in the excerpt above, the moral pressure often manifests as evil, or the Devil. Because the General Law is a powerful authority in the realm it manages, and is capable of influencing other individuals to act on its behalf, the tendency is to personify this unfriendly force as the Devil. This can feel very ominous and terrible, but at least it’s explainable  if you consider that as a system manager the General Law’s only objective is to keep the system balanced and functioning. And… it has access to all the critical system information, so it has no difficulty and no qualms about ‘talking through’ people and can use whatever it knows of your weaknesses in order to try to scare you back into line.

The General Law’s ability to act through people is related to their degree of Consciousness, as well as the priority of any target in their vicinity. The less Consciousness a person has developed (lives in the land of status quo), or the higher the threat priority of a target they are connected to, the likelier it is the person will be directly manipulated with the goal of correcting the wayward target. This force may seem conscious, and it is, but it’s a mechanical consciousness, at least on the level that we are concerned with. Sure, it’s capable of orchestrating highly targeted, synchronous events involving several other individuals, but it’s got lots of people to keep an eye on. As long as its numbers are good it doesn’t really care which particular individuals escape.

My experiences with the moral aspect of Pressure did touch on the Devil thing, which I kept interpreting as an attempt to scare me. As related in the my story section, I thought all the references to the devil and serpents, worship and all those themes were common scare tactics. I wasn’t wrong, but it took me a while to understand it as a moral and emotional pressure, poking-around to see what kind of negative reactions it could elicit.  Before I reached a more developed eye for these kinds of attack it sometimes did seem like the devil acting through people in that the same type of energy signature or identity would seem to possess multiple people. It’s very weird to see groups of people all acting the exact same way, same expressions and affectations, and to see the effect move like a swarm, coming and going from one group to the next. There are other possible STS factors involved, but the way such forces might happen to connect with a person is through the General Law. Over a few years these devil themes kept popping up, but became mentions from people around me about some ‘good and bad’ forces or sides. During this period I realized how messages can come in the form of embedded truth. -Sometimes truth comes through the mouth of a nefarious agent, but it’s wrapped up in some layer of lie or distraction.

As the more shocking physical and mental examples of Pressure have waxed and waned and largely diminished, the moral form has proven to be a deeper passage with many connections to emotion. It seems that taking a closer look at some of my basic beliefs about myself, and my emotional associations to various experiences has been a large part of learning to deactivate these backdoors. Some of these seeming backdoors were formed purposely using basic programming also talked about in many trauma-based mind control and hypnosis books, and some were more along the lines of opportunistic etheric attack like references in Robert Bruce’s Practical Psychic Self Defense book –where attack happens through existing connections such as negative or traumatic memories. I didn’t use any particular technique (though the techniques in the PPSD book are a good place to get examples), I mainly try to remain aware and take time to look into emotions and see what they’re about, what they’re connected to for me. Over time it’s gotten easier to pick out ‘emotional directives’ from what may have at first appeared to be ‘regular emotion’. For me there’s been an increase in being able to discern most types of attack on the emotional / moral level, and sometimes only by that mode of perception. -when my logic is unsure or doesn’t figure something out until later, usually the emotions were telling me I was under attack, it just took a while to notice the obvious sign was a simple, strong emotion.

More recently, emotional / moral pressure has come in the form of dream interference and somewhat predictable periods of time where this is more frequent (for me the lunar phases, full and new moons see more interference). I’ve experienced dream interference that plays upon not just deeper fears or feelings of guilt, but specifically about guilt or fear that I’d been made to admit to (was manufactured or elaborated on) during the couple of covert drugging and incapacitation experiences -a mind hacking interrogation. So in this example, though the dream was terrifying and visceral, the clues still pointed out that it was an attack and not some internal introspective exploration.

The point being that emotional or moral attacks can be the most insidious form of the General Law, because they often work on the emotional sub-conscious level, sort of from the inside-out, and play on what it thinks are our weaknesses -again the goal is to get us back in line, more than to destroy us, but the message can appear to be very malicious and deadly because it (the general law) only cares about balancing the system, not about you as an individual.

A closer look at the emotional circuitry that keeps us oppressed necessarily involves asking questions about identity, personality, and experimenting with defining these items based on internal and external influences.

Personality versus Essence

Part of the 'Esoteric Teachings and Covert Oppression' Series

2. The General Law and The Law of Exception
3. Types of General Law Pressure
4. A and B Influences: The Process
5. Personality versus Essence

The scope and natures of the Law of Exception and the General Law are elucidated by Mouravieff’s analogy comparing how cells within the physical body are like individual human beings serving the superorganism (the World). Just as the body regulates cells to ensure the body is well maintained, so does the General Law regulate the World by keeping individuals in their place. The Law of Exception, on the other hand, guarantees that the cell is also able to act in accordance with it’s own selfish needs and desires.

What then is the meaning of human life in this Cosmos as we know it? Mans’ existence has two main purposes:

-as an element of the universal organism, it serves the aims of the latter;

-as an isolated individual, he can pursue his own aims.

To better understand why and how these two objectives are bound together, let us take an example:

The position of man in the Universe is analogous to that of a cell in the human body. Each cell is a part of an organ which, in its turn, is an element of a group of organs that assures proper accomplishment of some definite function of the organism.

From this point of view, let us examine the lot of a cell in our bodes. It is subject to two categories of laws. To simplify, let us say that it is placed under the rule of two laws.

The first keeps the cell in its place. In esoteric science we call it the General Law. The second leaves a certain liberty of action for the cell, and is called the Law of Exception.

The first law, which is conservative, ensures that the organ of which this cell is a part accomplishes its function with no impediment. To this end, the first condition is that during their lives the cells which compose the organ fulfill the role given them. this law obliges these cells to remain in their own places, to complete their work, and to dedicate their lives to it.

It is evident that if this law did not keep the cells for the body within the limits of each organ , if it did not oblige them to fulfill their function, the latter would not be able to exist. Thus this law is beneficial; by ensuring the existence o the organs, it permits the whole body to endure.

We know, however, that the total removal of certain organs of the body is compatible with survival. In the current state of our knowledge it even seems that removal of some of them leads to no serious functional inconvenience. Even more; the organism tolerates partial resection of some organs without compromising the roles played by the latter in the general economy. This shows that the disappearance of a few cells, an infinitesimal part of an organ, goes unnoticed: its functioning is not impaired. As the essential role of the General Law is to watch over continuity of function, this disappearance passes unnoticed by it. Therefore it places no further obstacles. Symbolically, one can say that cells which escape from this law now enter the domain of the Law of Exception.

In the life of a human being the General Law manifests as: the status quo, inertia, reactionism, routine and habit, groupthink. It keeps us in familiar settings, but it also tends to hold us back when we try to make meaningful changes in our selves and our lives.

The Law of Exception

Counter to the General Law is the Law of Exception. This law is responsible for making sure that individual cells have room to express their own selfish desires and pursue their own goals. In a larger sense, the Law of Exception is what allows streams of new info/change into an otherwise closed-seeming-system. The goal of someone who is getting the system message that they’re not fitting in and receiving a lot of systemic pressure, is to resonate with the Law of Exception and, essentially, hitch a ride out of the domain of the General Law. This isn’t a trick, but a natural progression. As we become better suited for more conscious service-of-the-all (outside the sub-system we were born to serve), the General Law of this system no longer has a hold on us, and the Law of Exception appears to help us safely through the transition.

In order to escape the pressure of the General Law and move with the Law of Exception, one must be equally unplugged from the General Law and A (external) influences as the results one seeks. For example, one might be seeing the limitations of the system in which they live, strive for freedom, and get hit with a big slap of General Law pressure because they are still attached to the system through some very external influences. So, the process of moving from reactionism and reprimands of the General Law, to expanded awareness and freedom of moving with the Law of Exception necessarily involves a lot of introspection and sorting through our identity and our place within a larger whole (more on this later).

To the organism (the system in which we live as microorganisms), there is room for a very small amount of individuals to escape the demands of the General Law -after all, it is primarily concerned with the overall functioning and stability of the system it is responsible for; so long as the body is running smoothly there is no reason to expend energy on rounding up stray cells. The Law of Exception sets conditions so that some individuals are allowed to leave/graduate to new frontiers of development, and also new members are able to enter (graduate to) this system.

So, the General Law is a governing system. It keeps the cells in the place so that they can best support the body. The Law of Exception connects all dimensions and frequencies of being. Its effect on static realms is that it lets bits of new/other information into the mix. To us as individuals  it appears as small little windows of opportunity to learn how to avoid the General Law.

In esoteric teachings, this process is sometimes discussed as stages like “finding the way to the path”, “finding the path” and then following the path through to greater liberation.

For someone who has experienced the General Law as covert harassment, this pressure is the ‘finding the way to the path’. It’s a daunting ordeal, but also an opportunity to learn something about ourselves and the nature of reality. “Finding the path” I think is when a person starts to see the positive results, the growth, that is occurring, rather than just seeing the negative influences and attacks as something to avoid at any cost. The path is the focus of all esoteric science and teachings. It is many things, but in short it’s a process of learning to avoid the pressures of the General Law and learning how to move along with the Law of Exception.

Mouravieff said of these laws and the path
(Gnosis, Book I: the Exoteric Cycle):

“As long as man accepts the principle of the final annihilation of his Personality without a fight, he can carry on in life without attracting the increasing pressures of the General Law upon himself.

“The case is totally different if he struggles to surpass the limits which it imposes. It acts simultaneously on several planes: physical, mental, and moral. Its action on the moral plane is conceived by man, since time immemorial, in the form of a personification: the Devil.

“In the orthodox Tradition demonology occupies a considerable place. We find there practical constatations, fine and profound observations on the highly sophisticated and insidious forms that the Devil’s action takes in very varied circumstances, in which it goes as far as using the good faith of humans for its own ends.

“We will also find precious advice, based on accumulated experience over the ages, which is particularly helpful to students of esoteric science; because once the first positive results are obtained those students will unmistakably run up against the active opposition to the law and the GAME OF THE CRAFTY ONE.

“It must be realized that in placing himself under the aegis of the Law of Exception, man goes against the General Law, which he is even called upon to overthrow, if only on an individual scale. He must not forget–under penalty of ‘surprise attack’–the salvation depends on victory over the Devil, which as we have said, is the personalized moral aspect of the General Law. This is so, even though this, being a cosmic law, is naturally a divine law. One must not be afraid, as the Law of Exception is also a divine law. In choosing it, man continues to serve the interests of the whole, but differently and in an incomparably more efficient manner. During his fight against the first law, he is subject to tests that often take the form of temptations. In orthodox Doctrine deep studies are devoted to this theme, As stated above, they contain precious advice of a practical nature, details of which we cannot cover in this present book. We are however permitted to draw attention to the indirect nature of the diabolical action. If, aiming straight towards his goal, which is liberation and salvation, the seeker successfully overcomes the obstacles and by this shows proof of a strength that would permit him to defy the authority of the General Law, the latter will begin to act upon him indirectly, generally by the mediation of his near ones if they do not follow the same path: this action occurs on the moral plane, and often takes emotional forms appealing to his most noble, generous, and disinterested sentiments: to his charity; his obligations; his pity. It impels him down blind alleys, insinuating that he will be returning to his duty, that by so doing he will go on walking in the right path, etc. This will clarify the profound saying of Jesus that: ‘A man’s worst enemies are those of his own household.’ “

The Law of Exception is not just a fluke; it is not merely a lacking of the General Law or where the latter fails. In moving from the domain of the General Law, the individual continues to serve the system (the Whole), but in a different, more efficient capacity. The balancing between the General Law and the Law of Exception might be seen as the Human Resources department of a business. As a junior member begins to master their original role as outlined by the company, their amassed knowledge and skills eventually qualify them for promotion to a position with greater freedom of movement and decision making; they can serve the company better by working on more advanced projects, and less experienced employees can more efficiently serve the company by performing the entry-level tasks. The Law of Exception promotes those who are ready, willing and able.

As Mouravieff says,

Up to this point, the analogy with what happens to man because of the General Law and the Law of Exception could be taken as complete.

But it stops here, at least as regards the present state of our knowledge. In this activity of life, of migrations and of cellular death, there is no justification for thinking that the passage from the General Law to the Law of Exception results from any conscious actions of the cells.

For man it happens differently.

As one moves toward the Law of Exception, one necessarily moves against the General Law. This draws the attention of the General Law, the regulatory mechanism of the system, and a series of systemic reprimand ensues. As the individual learns how the mechanics work, these aggressive corrections become more like neutral obstacles. If the individual successfully evolves from reactionism to a significantly greater degree of Consciousness, they escape the General Law and graduate to Man 4 status.

Moving away from the dominion of the General Law and toward the Law of Exception is an intensive Process of sorting… between external influences and introspection (between A influences and B influences) of sorting through and making order of all the “little I’s” that have made up our personality, in order to form a more lasting and true identity.

To the individual person trying to move toward the Law of Exception, there appears a series of obstacles or tests that require a person to become much more conscious in order to escape the pressures of the General Law and succeed along the Way to greater freedom and continued evolution. This step toward greater consciousness involves becoming aware of all the various bits of our Personality, which can be broken down into 3 centers: intellectual, emotional, and motor/instinct. But first, let’s look at the connection between personality and what Mouravieff called A influences.

Mouravieff uses the terms A and B Influences as useful containers for various external and internal influences (respectively). Tuning into A influences keeps one plugged into and ruled by external influences, ruled by Chance. B influences are those which introduce and inspire Free Will and conscious decision making based on Introspection. Tuning into B influences encourages the development of a ‘real I’ as opposed to the fickle, ephemeral mixture of myriad ‘little I’s which external man is ruled by. As Mouravieff has it, the development of the I/Self is the development of Consciousness. All is learning. He uses the distinction ‘real I’ to connote a degree of greater Consciousness.

During earlier experiences (before any of the more obvious gang stalking events happened, but things were getting weird), I remember thinking that maybe I was experiencing what it feels like to grow dimensionally.

I pictured a 2-dimensional creature within a 3-dimensional pond and how someone (a 3D being) just walking into the pond could have all kinds of mysterious effects to the 2D beings. The 3D being’s legs would appear as two separate bodies to the 2D creatures, just as the influences of a higher-dimensional being could appear to cause separate, yet somehow connected, events to the perspective of a 2D being. As things continued to get weirder and more sinister as well, I spent a few years getting a bit caught up in trying to sort the pieces of everything I’d experienced.

After I had some time to digest all the very different experiences that had been happening, I realized that those first impressions of growth and changing perspectives were not off the mark. Pretty much everything that’s a part of covert harassment (whether it’s physical or multi-dimensional attack) can fit into the category: experiences that expand perspective and become knowledge that we apply to learn about ourselves and the environment.

Esoteric science deals with exactly that, growing dimensionally; how to move from one major phase of development to the next. There are several esoteric resources that have related information. It seems like if you start looking into one, you usually start to find other sources of similar truth as well.

My intent in this series is to share a sampling of some esoteric teachings and how these have fit into my understanding of covert oppression, in the event that it may help others (you) by adding additional perspective to compare with your own. As always, appropriate what is useful and don’t worry about the rest. As I encounter new resources I try to post any connecting or views of my own -do check out the resources the excerpts and images come from to continue your exploration of the concepts that resonate with you. There are many connected and relevant perspectives on every topic. And I do not intend to cover every salient point of the books mentioned, so don’t miss out, find them at the library or online (there are links here) and read the sources yourself. This is an opportunity for me to explore some esoteric philosophy and how my own experiences and knowledge compare and contrast; if you learn something from it too, that’s great

The Fourth Way

I’ve chosen to start this series with some explorations of a branch of esoteric philosophy often called the Fourth Way. A man named G.I. Gurdjieff is credited with collecting and introducing to modern society many esoteric teachings that predate Christianity -and had been preserved throughout early Christianity, and then been progressively eroded and obfuscated. Many people are familiar with there being different versions and translations of the Christian Bible. Using this example, the esoteric teachings preserved in early Gnosticism are the real deal, truths passed along from those who have learned how to evolve beyond fractured identity and suffering, from a time before such messages were adulterated.

Gurdjieff traveled to Egypt and various parts of Asia to study and learn more about the esoteric traditions, before gaining his own followers and students. He would never reveal the specific sources of his system (the Fourth Way), but the roots of which are believed by many to include Sufism, Esoteric Christianity and even Buddhism.

Ousenpsky was one of Gurdjieff’s students, though had some very different interpretations and disagreement with Gurdjieff on specific points. Though Gurdjieff wrote some books, the main body of his teachings was in the format of lectures and interactive discussions. Much of what Gurdjieff said that has become well known are the talks that Ouspensky recorded from memory in his books. Ouspensky provided his own unique offerings to esoteric philosophy, and had students as well, such as Aldous Huxley.

And then came Boris Mouravieff, who went a step further in organizing previous esoteric truths into greater order.  He was then able to make more logical observations and hypotheses, thus bringing a depth of clarity to esoteric philosophy than was previously known.

A good place to start is Mouravieff’s Gnosis series. The back of Gnosis Book One says, “…This Gnosis is not a modern statement of the second century texts known as ‘Gnoticism’, but a previously unpublished ancient Christian Knowledge tradition.”

I think the first few paragraphs of the introduction speak volumes about the goal of esoteric philosophy,

Homo Sapiens lives immersed in his everyday life to a point where he forgets himself and forgets where he is going; yet, without feeling it, he knows that death cuts off everything.

How can we explain that the intellectual who has made marvellous discoveries and the technocrat who has exploited them have left outside the field of their investigations, the ending of our lives? How can we explain that a science which attempts everything and claims everything nevertheless remains indifferent to the enigma reveled by the question of death? How can we explain why Science, instead of uniting its efforts with its older sister Religion to resolve the problem of Being –which is also the problem is death– has in fact opposed her?

Whether a man dies in bed or aboard and interplanetary ship, the human condition has not changed in the slightest.

Happiness? But we are taught that happiness lasts only as long as the Illusion lasts… and what is this Illusion? Nobody knows. But it submerges us.

If we only knew what Illusion is, we would then know the opposite: what Truth is. This Truth would liberate us from slavery.

The General Law and the Law of Exception

Ignorance is lacking information. Stupidity increases with the willingness to take great negative action against others based on lacking information.  STS: a natural phase in the journey of individuation ?

In this article I intend to show that STO beings have a greater degree of consciousness development than STS beings. In the realm of gang stalking (for you TIs out there) this means that even the knowing and most conscious leaders who control their stalker pawns through indoctrination are less developed than targets who are aware of the mechanics involved and are working on their own internal understanding.

First let’s recover some basic definitions. STO beings ‘serve others’ and STS beings ‘serve themselves’. In the truest sense each of these polarities serve themselves and the Whole (the universe, the All). Whether through serving self or others, all beings serve the Infinite Consciousness in helping it to know itself and this in turn provides greater opportunities for the All to develop yet newer and increasingly diverse expressions of Consciousness.

Though in this world the difference between STO and STS tends to mean the difference between those who consider the wellbeing of others and those who only consider the wellbeing of themselves, the point I wish to make is that beings with a chosen STO stance are better serving themselves than STS beings. I wish to establish that STO beings better serve themselves because such self-discovery is in relation to the Whole, where STS self-discovery is not done with conscious considering of the Whole (or greater good).

Making Sense of the World

In making sense of the world we have internal and external influences to consider. The difference between STO and STS entities in this regard are that STO beings have a greater understanding of how to process external influences using their internal faculties of intuition and general self awareness. This is an internal sense making. Simply, those who are aware of a larger ecosystem make better decisions about how they fit into the Whole. As such those beings who take into consideration the wellbeing of those with whom they interact ensure that they themselves are working in congruence with the Whole. As such their usefulness to the Whole will not diminish; STO beings will continue to develop infinitely. I believe that STS beings eventually come to a similar realization and adopt STO-like stances. (As mentioned in other articles on the topic of STO and STS, these distinctions do not seem to appear as such separate poles among much more developed beings and frequencies of being). From the perspective of a relatively more developed being, making decisions based on self-interest AND group interest is the most rational route. In dealing with relatively less developed beings, the more developed being balks at the seeming lacking rationality of the other ‘player’, yet naturally we’re each doing our best with the knowledge and understanding we’ve gathered to-date.

To clarify, decidedly STO beings consider external influences and work to fit these pieces into their internal model -of the world and themselves. Decidedly STS beings consider external influences yet lack personal development that allows for a solid internal model of the world and themselves. As such, STS beings see external influences as warring opinions with sides to be chosen and used to protect themselves and their limited perspective of Self,  rather than to see external influence as neutral information that can be used to further development.

Of course internal models are also affected by external influence, the key is that by building a connection to our inner modeling we can be fluid, resilient beings able to change and consider new information. Decidedly STS humans seem to have trouble considering alternative perspective and tend to try to control these through waging war on dissimilar perspectives rather than simply taking in what makes sense and leaving the rest alone. They have trouble seeing that there is enough room for a lot of people to be correct in a lot of different ways.

A self-consistent model is a sane model

As a teenager (the time when most of us are bombarded with all manner of external influence and information) I came to the conclusion that it was important to buffer my self from external input for a period of time while I established some basic definitions/truths, before going on to consider all the rich and abundant sources of information and perspective. After all, what sense would it make to me to simply take in random bits of info and judge their meaning according to other random bits of info? So while I was going to high school I did the school work, but focused more on my own philosophical explorations to establish a sort of basic Self and set of truths from which to judge the things I would go on to encounter. During this time I met like-minded people into philosophy who would offer up suggestions like “oh, you’ve got to read Decartes, what you say sounds just like what he said”, etc. These philosophers’ works interested me, but again, I could not see the point of consulting someone else’s work at establishing a basic Self rather than using my own. After all, every one of us is a microcosm  complete with the same functions of reasoning found in the influences that helped to create all of reality. Eventually I did go on to take in and consider such perspectives, but doing my own work at learning to discern meaning (truth) from incoming information was critical because I had a basic model in which to fit every bit of new information I took in. Rather than coming in pell-mell and building a cacophonous model of somewhat meaningless information, I was building a self-consistent model of mind and system for processing information.

What about later information that refutes the basic ‘established’ truths? Well, there weren’t any. The basic truths that established my self-consistent model were empirical, that is they were based on observation, experience and experiment. As such I deemed these to be truth that I could use to understand the less-clear (new) experiences that came my way. I did not decide the meaningfulness of mundane things like if this or that perspective was correct, but kept to basic questions and hypotheses having to do with the nature of reality and my existence within reality. The relationship between Self and Higher Self (that is, our internal sense of knowing and intuition) tends to go through various phases of discovery, yet the basic relationship does not change; the self is always connected to the greater Whole; each individual is a unique ray of the Whole, with its origin in the very center of the All. In this way of utilizing our connection to the Whole when considering external influences, I believe an understanding of an STO way of moving in the world is discovered. The parts we encounter are always shifting. We’re always taking in new information and additional perspectives offered by others, yet the constant is seeing our place within the larger Whole. By considering what each new piece of information means to the Self we are considering new pieces while consulting this constant: our relationship with the Whole.

Relationship to the Whole / being created in the image of the Creator

Most of us are familiar with the concept of being unique individuals endowed with all the functions of reasoning that the Creator itself has. In Christianity, for example, this is expressed as our each being created in the image of God. We each have this connection to the Infinite Consciousness (god, if you prefer). We are each unique beings who have the ability to consult this inner connection when considering new information. It is an inner connection because the Infinite Consciousness develops through Diversification; we are each rays of creation, originating in Source. Along the ‘ray of creation’ various concentric layers are encountered. Each of these layers of reality has its own laws and limits. For this reason, we are seemingly separated from Source (God) by these external limits. Yet every being that is created has impressions of Source and these channels of communication are internal in the way we perceive reality as human beings.

When it comes to power mongers in government, gang stalking or smaller instances offered by friends and family members (who tend to be sane usually ;P), the missing piece that makes such beings or behavior decidedly STS is that they are not comparing/contrasting new information against their own internal model; they do not sense their internal connection to the Whole and therefore do not understand how to utilize intuition and their internal sense of knowing. Rather, STS beings see the insanity of the warring perspectives they encounter in the world and decide the best they can do is grab hold of some more-popular opinions, so they use these to can gather as much consensus power as possible. This is the way that STS tries to seek survival and continued existence. This is not sharing-of-perspective, but attaching and armoring oneself with memes/ideas. Thus identity for these beings is defined by ideology, not consciousness and personal experience –it becomes a war of ideas, rather than a sharing of ideas. This is the flaw in mistaking ideology for identity; ideas are means, not ends. There are no ‘ends’; all is learning…but back to the self-interest / group interest angle:  The problem is that by sucking energy from others through indoctrination (influencing in others a limited perspective of reality // ideology as law), such beings are not working for the Whole -(beyond what they can discover about themselves- before running out of energy). So where a decidedly STS being starts out on an arguably valid path of seeking to understand themselves through controlling their reactions to external influences // valuing ideas based on their potential to fascinate others, this in turn leads to controlling others who do not choose to engage their own free will (which would make manipulations like indoctrination transparent). This is a type of reductionism that isolates the STS being. This is a negative feedback loop that brings an STS being more power over others, but no real understanding of themselves and their place in the ecosystem which is even larger than the frequency they resonate with and larger than the pool of people they are able to manipulate.

Put simply, as STS beings suck energy/power from those they are able to manipulate, all this breeds is a hunger for more power; entropy. If it were possible, such beings would seemingly suck energy and indoctrinate the entire world into seeing things their way (not that they have a unique perspective to offer, the indoctrination of STS types means seeing the world as a dog-eat-dog power war). Of course this is not possible, yet this gives some idea of the desperate sort of black hole such beings feel to be their position in life: to these beings it seems that only further domination and the taking of power will ensure their continued existence.

STS encounters with more powerful STS beings

When decidedly STS types of beings encounter another being who appears to be possibly stronger than they are, like a wild animal, they do not try to understand the stronger being in a larger sense, but seek only to take it down because in the STS way of looking at things challenges to their power should be tested. “perhaps they have more attractive ideas that can fascinate even more people”– is about as far as rational thought goes in such cases. If the challenging being is of STS orientation then the two beings battle and work out the pecking order –the STS character we’ve been talking about either falls in line with the more powerful STS being as a kind of disciple or mere pawn, or if they determine that they themselves are more powerful, will do their best to put the other being in its place.

STS encounters with an STO being

When the being the STS sees as challenging is an STO type, the war agenda from the STS being who feels threatened can go on for long periods of time because these beings are not playing the same game. It’s apples and oranges. Wherever the STS being finds yet greater cunning attacks and maneuvers, he is never satisfied because the STO being does not move in those ways and will proclaim neither domination nor submission. The STO being, though it may be depressed (emotionally or in basic energetic terms until they discern the nature and source of attacks) for some time, is ultimately not affected in any STS way. Essentially, the stronger STO being learns even more about their place in the larger Whole. The learned pieces, as usual, are fit into the STO being’s model; that is, STO beings work at maintaining an internal sense of things; they are capable in interested in introjecting phenomena as well as whatever they may project onto external reality. As such, this deeper understanding of reality co-creation means that STO beings share perspective rather than bludgeon others with it.

As an aside, I’ve experienced realization that I’m interacting with a potentially less developed being of ‘undecided’ stance when my sharing of perspective is construed as indoctrination. How do I know it’s *not* truly indoctrination? Well, personal intent goes a long way, yet the other party can not see my intent except through longer term behavior. If the other person can look at a record of interactions and see things like my willingness and interest in hearing other perspectives; if I show joy in the act of sharing and discussion in general, these are signs that my agenda is sharing, not indoctrination. Such assessments are, naturally, up to the individual.

If STO beings develop infinitely, what happens to STS beings?

Some explorations of the two paths allude to the idea that STS beings eventually reduce themselves out of existence. The logic behind these explorations seems sound enough, yet only reaches somewhat further than the most mundane physical understanding of reality. Such logic goes like this: STO and STS beings both develop consciousness along their respective paths, yet where STO develops Beingness, STS develops Awareness at the cost of Beingness. Essentially, STS beings become less ‘real’ or manifest in the usual sense, and become dark aspects of the unconscious side of the Whole. It is theorized that such unBeingness is what accounts for darker influences coming to us through the etheric or subconscious layers of self. This is all very interesting, and I think there is truth to the metaphysics, yet I do not think that more developed STS beings are sitting somewhere purposely trying to influence humankind through our dreams and thoughts (the devil whispering in our ear, as it were). I think the echoes of such beings are responsible for these darker influences, just as our own darker side contributes to the layer of daker influences which challenge us all.

So where do they go? I think that more developed STS beings, if pushed to the extremes of: seeing a more STO approach or popping out of existence, essentially get further opportunities to try out what they’ve learned in conditions (limits) similar to this earthly realm. It’s also been theorized that as STS beings develop in consciousness they become less manifest and eventually do sort of pop out of existence, becoming the very stuff (atoms) that physical reality is made up of. For what it’s worth I believe that STS is a step to STO. Not that every most rational STO type has walked the STS path (though that may be accurate for many), but that STS eventually becomes what we humans would consider to be STO –in their rationality// eventually everyone learns the laws of this realm and the shifting required to exist manifestly in and beyond.

I do not believe that anyone is ‘left behind’. I believe that everyone continues to develop. I think it’s possible that having free will means we are even capable of deciding to discontinue personal development. The Whole is timeless and so there is infinite space and time in which beings can develop and sometimes even take time out from development.

In my experiences and analysis, it seems possible (if not likely) that the entire progression through STS development is but one phase of development in a grander scheme of things. Is it possible that after one gathers consciousness and then is cycled back through to physical reality that they then go on to tackle STO perspectives and how to develop self while working on congruence with a larger group / the whole?

Personal Meaning for me and this exploration

Living with continued attacks and attempt at infiltration of my personal space has made understanding of these topics important for me personally. Though at the beginning of the attacks I sensed the desperation and greed of the STS leader types, I really could not understand their perspective. After all, it’s hard to see the limits of another perspective when your own does not have such limits. To me it is clearly limiting to see others only as potential enemies or pawns to control in the seeking of more power. To me this is obviously entropic and will only lead to more suffering, for myself and others.

What I’ve come to understand more recently is a clearer snapshot of what such limits look like from within an STS perspective, how such limited perspectives tend to color the world. I’ve learned that perhaps the most viable lessons -lessons able to offer alternatives to the more developed STS perspective and the problematic limitations- are those lessons gained through encounters with decidedly STO beings. I kept wondering at what seemed to me to be repeated responses of acceptance from myself –I got tired of showing the same response to someone who only seems to see such responses as weak, yet somehow I know that is the best I can do for myself and for the attacker. Perhaps this is the Bodhisattva requirement (leaving a clue/path as to freedom from the limits when they are outgrown, but also the piece that completes graduation –in my internal shorthand translated to english words, anyway–) where we see the full cycle of earlier steps and are tested to see how much we can truly remember of our many lessons along the way ; a threshold.

A tangent about processing negative emotions

At some points the STS leader type attacking me through the various pawns would have them taunt me with messages about how they’ve seen me get angry about their attacks, as if this were some sign that I’d conceded and accepted an STS stance. Apparently this is one level of processing the STS leader is going through: understanding the processing of strong emotion. My explanation is as follows. Everyone experiences positive and negative emotions. Processing these emotions in a conscious way (rather than ignoring them) makes the emotions catalyst for development. An STS type turns emotions into catalyst by consciously controlling their negative emotions, shoving them deep into their mind, to bring them out later in controlled applications of… control –they hatch their devious plans to control the situation and the target. STO types also work to consciously process their emotions. Both types work at intensifying the emotion in order to fully consider and confront it. Where the STO method differs is that they accept the emotion rather than control it. Just because a target becomes angry does not mean that they are falling toward STS control or control of others, it means they are alive and have reasonable reactions to being persecuted. Again, the difference is that I consider my anger to be something worth working to accept and understand.

</end tangent>

In closing, I offer these perspectives to other targets who are working at understanding why there seems to be someone or some group soooo interested in them. Perhaps the answer is because you have something they can learn from, yet it seems the only way they can learn at this point is to constantly attack and try to bring you down, as is the way within STS hierarchies. Stay strong and work on your inner models and personal development. You are learning about yourself and hopefully the attackers can learn something useful for their own development, but of course that is up to each of them. This is the best we can do.

I resonate with many the insights and ideas presented on that site, so I was particularly curious about how sort of random the Food for the Moon article seemed at first glance. Yet, as I read along to see what the author’s perspective is, many pieces started falling into place along the lines of the Systems of Control (the Matrix) that allow for all the hive mind antics of gang stalkers. It seems I’ve reached a greater plateau of understanding with regard to the energetic network and mechanics surrounding gang stalking and life in general. I hope to explore many of these facets via blog posts in the coming days. For now though I’m very inspired about patterns relating to lunar cycles.

As I read how the author (Montalk) tested the theory of there being a connection between the largest negative events in his life with full moon and new moon phases of the lunar cycle, I decided to do the same.

I wrote down dates of the largest stalking attacks and harassment events. Then I found an online lunar calendar that has multiple years (these events having gone on for some time). Lo and behold there was indeed a pattern. Without exception, the largest attacks have all occurred within the 2.5 days to either side of a full moon or new moon. There were several relatively smaller negative interference events that did not seem to fit the pattern. It was difficult to see a pattern there because things like street theater come and go, phases of such lasting for weeks at a time. Yet, as I looked at the crescendos of such activity these dates also corresponded with these lunar phases.

As for my take on what this all means, stay tuned for further posts here. Yet regardless of the mechanics behind the connections, it appears that keeping an eye on the lunar phases is a useful tool for determining the likelihood of upcoming attacks. Montalk has provided a handy moon chart that depicts these phases for the current month.

Consider this age of electromagnetic pollution; the threat of cancer by which so many of us are affected, and you’ve glimpsed the perfect makings for inducing psychological terror and in some cases chronic physical illness. Gang stalking perpetrators use the threat of this technology to induce terror, and/or use this technology on targets to induce fear along with physical harm.

It is important to point out to TIs that combating fear and finding a way to reduce your fear-reaction is going to be your most valuable tool in combating electromagnetic harassment or torture. In reading the following material and suggested external resources, please keep this in mind. Be sure to visit the various pages and the for more on countermeasures.

Psychological Terrorism

As described on of tactics, it is often more feasible for organized stalking perpetrators to suggest that electromagnetic weapons are being used, rather than to actually use them on a target. This is a form of psychological terrorism that in itself can have lingering physical effects (as can any psychological traumas we do not work to resolve).

These statements about suggested electromagnetic attack are not meant to discount the many cases where directed energy weapons are used on targeted individuals, but merely to point out the psychological tactics being used to try and evoke a fear-response from a target. Whether electromagnetic weapons are being used on a targeted individual or the target is constantly being told that they are, these are both forms of terrorism.

Psychological Terrorism + Physical Torture

The use of electromagnetic weapons on a target is terrorism involving physical torture. For anyone who thinks such torture lies only in sci-fi movies, you’re right there with much of the public, in a position of ignorance as to the technology that has been available to the public for decades now.

Proven and Available Harassment Technologies

Directed energy weapons are the high-tech stuff of today’s perfect crime. Microwave weapons can be aimed at people to produce strong physical and psychological effects that almost nobody knows about except the perpetrators and (in some cases) the target.

In some cases targets are not told about the electromagnetic weapons being used against them, but discover symptoms at some point, and in other cases victims are harassed with constant threats and references to electromagnetic weapons being used on them (whether they are or not).

The biggest threat to victims of directed energy weapons is public ignorance. After all, what happens to most people who try to seek help from their local law enforcement or medical agencies when they say they’re being attacked by unseen weapons? They are immediately labeled mentally unsound, at best.

The biggest threat to the criminals wielding these weapons is public
information about these weapons. In the years to come organizations of criminals seeking to control and harm others will be brought into the light. They will be held accountable. In the meantime it is up to you and me to inform others and in doing so take a stand against the ignorance that these criminals hide behind.

Better known for his earlier work as a respected psychoanalyst, Wilhelm Reich’s professional psychiatric focuses were primarily on character structure as opposed to individuals’ neurotic symptoms, as Freud and the gang popularized and still makes up much of modern psychology today.

Synthesizing material from psychoanalysis, economics, anthropology, ethics and sociology, he promoted sexuality in young adults as a necessary and life-positive factor and believed that sexual repression was largely responsible for individual neuroses. He believed that parental and social punishment against youthful expressions of emotion, and sexual love led to internalized repression. If sexual repression became chronic, the consequent internal tension formed a neuro-muscular armoring with which the individual protectively walled him/her-self off from pursuing life-positive pleasure, in order to avoid pain. Ironically, this type of armoring tends to rewire an individual to seek pain rather than pleasure, whether for themselves or, sadistically, for others.

While Reich worked in social and political circles to pass laws for equal rights of women (he was a proponent of the right to financial independence for women, as well as for the availability of divorce and contraception) and protection of children, he mainly developed therapeutic methods to aid people in giving up their emotional armor.

Reich provided some of the first clear evidence that Freud’s libido was a real energy, discharged during sexual orgasm as well as emotional expression. He found that many of his psychiatric patients who suffered from depression and other symptoms congruent with emotional armoring usually had little-to-no sexual life, and therefore no outlet for the release and natural flow of this natural energy.

In the 1930s Reich was kicked out of the International Psychoanalytic Association and his books were burned by the Nazis and German Communist Party. After fleeing to Scandinavia, he went about some of the first bioelectrical experiments, involving the subject of human emotional repression and sexuality. His experiments proved that emotion, sexual excitation and orgastic discharge were measurable phenomena. These discoveries would increasingly put him in opposition with the dominant status quo of academia and the scientific community of his time.

Continuing his experiments, Reich later discovered the specific process by which tissue decays, and which lies at the basis of the formation of cancer cells. These directly observable findings, not theories, significantly predated George Papanicolaou’s (as in pap-test , pap-smear) work which Reich believed had been stolen from him. As is the case throughout history, many of the world’s innovators have been ostracized and their books burned, while mainstream science covertly assimilates the aspects useful to their own money-centric agendas.

Under a microscope, Reich discovered a vesicle he named the bion which lies at the border between the realms of living and non-living matter. He found that living matter as well as non-living matter subjected to a process of hydration produced these bions, which under specific conditions develop into known micro-organisms such as protozoa. He saw that plant matter would break down into these vesicles to form micro-organisms, new life. In other specific conditions, the breaking down of living cells leads to the production of other microscopic forms toxic in nature. He called these t-bacilli. These t-bacilli were found abundantly in cancer patients, bu not in healthy people. The injection of t-bacilli into mice could lead to tumor formation.

What had first appeared to Reich as only bioelectriciry was later clarified as a much more powerful bioenergetic form or life-energy observable under a microscope as having a bluish field around living cells, and that this same energy expressed itself as emotion and sexuality. He eventually labeled this orgone energy which has also been observed as a bluish aura around trees and mountain ranges.

Similar to ancient concepts of aether and vital force, orgone energy is an ambient, cosmic energy that fills all space and moves with a pulsing rhythm. In his experiments to isolate this energy, he proved that it exists in high vacuum, and as such is a type of cosmic aether.

These discoveries led to further controversy, as these discoveries pave the way for such fantastical sounding feats as ending drought (cloud seeding), the greening of deserts and even detoxification of nuclear waste and implications of a new source of clean energy.

During the run of Reich’s investigations he developed an enclosure made of organic and inorganic materials which he found attracted orgone energy. This orgone accumulator developed high charges of orgone energy and was proven to increase plant growth and yields of charged seeds and plants, as well as speed healing of wounds and degenerative tissue disease.

After many plant and animal trials, he began treating people with combined emotional and orgone energy approaches with great results. Around this time he was attacked from many sides by the powers that be, such as the Food and Drug Administration in a war against natural healing therapies and methods (repression of non revenue generating healing methods has always been a major agenda of the FDA).

There is much more to learn about Reich’s discoveries and battles with the money-hungry status quo, but here I end the nastier side of Reich’s experiences with the Greed Machine by relating that the FDA’s attack against Reich was fraud perpetrated against the People and justice, in that the courts authorized the burning of his books and sentencing Reich to jail, where he later died.

Today, organizations such as the Orgone Biophyscial Research Lab and The American College of Orgonomy have reproduced Reich’s original works and continue the research he began.

DeMeo’s site, the Orogone Biophysical Research Lab, is an excellent place to pursue education about orgonomy and orgone. You can purchase materials for making your own orgone accumulators and orgone blankets, or purchase pre-made accumulators from Oronics.com. Thierrie at orgonics.com is a very knowledgeable woman who has been making orgone blankets and accumulators for many years. The products found at orgonics.com are high quality and based on the research and findings of Dr. Reich. I recommend reading the Orgone Accumulator Handbook before committing to any purchase or construction of orgone devices. The book comes with complete plans for building human sized accumulators, accumulator box with wand, and blankets, and most importantly, describes the research and understanding behind such devices.

I would caution against purchasing orgone generators or Tower Busters, etc. Such items claim to be based on scientific findings like those if Reich, but are in reality this is inaccurate. I asked Thierrie Cook her perspective on so called orgone generators. From what I’d read orgone accumulators can be positive or harmful depending in the ambient energy, so it made no sense to me how these orgone generators can claim to ‘transform DOR [a negative form of orgone energy] into orgone’ and her response was that orgone energy is a natural occurence. Orgone generators are like trying to harness this naturally occurring energy and forcing it to behave in prescribed ways. Whereas with Reich-based orgone accumulators good old common sense and reason is required. You shouldn’t use them in an environment filled with EM radiation (right in front of the television). The optimal environment in which to use orgone devices is outdoors, away from cell towers and other sources of EM pollution. Please perform additional research of your own on orgone an orgonics, keeping in mind that beliefs are structures you create yourself, whether through believing things you come across or creating your own belief systems. There are still many anti-Reich, pro-establishment websites out to discredit these things that have reintroduced wellbeing and and health for many people.

Tower Busters and Orgonite

Ok, in a nutshell, the intentions of many of the tower busters type websites and products are well meaning, but the science is lacking. While the basic theory behind orgonic devices includes the combinatin of organic and inorganic substances, globbing together a bunch of both and adding a few crystals doesn’t necessarily mean you can single-handedly bring down cell tower and EM pollution for miles around, as many of these sites claim.

Their hearts, Will and intention are in the right place, but there is little to no science to back up these extensions of Reich’s work. Read the Accumulator Handbook and learn yourself what comprises an orgone accumulator.

Don’t get me wrong, as I said these projects’ intentions are in the right place. We do not need microwave towers polluting our environment, just as we need gang stalking and even more subtle forms of covert manipulation like we need a bullet in the head, but IMHO there are better means to carry out these noble intentions and goals.

It seems to me that the idea of countering life-negative forces lies primarily in the way we conduct ourselves, our thoughts and ultimately the way we interact with our environment and fellow beings. As such, creative activity like chaos magick and creating positive thought forms, are much more well equipped when it comes to the etheric and spiritual fronts of understanding and countering such sources of offense like EM pollution and cultural illness like cover harassment and stalking.

I’m running short on time just now with which to delve into these topics here, but the basic idea is to forget the church, forget the people, we’ll erect a different steeple. errrr chaos magick and thoughforms are the stuff of remaking ourselves and our perceptions. If something isn’t working for you, redefine it! Make it your own through re-association and redefinition.

In my experience even deep ruts of personal habit can be changed with a word, a meaningful symbol of your intention. Like a geometrical or mathematical proof, whole complexes of thought structure can be symbolized by whatever you want/ however you see things. Then you can work with these symbols to remake your perceptions.

I will come back to this article later on to flesh things out a bit for those of you less familiar with chaos and sigil magick. For now I wish to focus on thoughtforms. As touched on in the Etheric Attack section, some people seem more comfortable with 20th century methods of personal processing and reordering as psychotherapy, and then there are those of us who see not just a more efficicient route, but one devoid of cultural trappings that have little to do with our core beings.

If you have the desire to benefit yourself or your fellow beings and environment with something lie orgonite, consider creating a thoughtform. In my experience, these freeform constructs/creations have much more power to effect positive development in people and environment. Put shortly, creative use of thoughtforms gets more directly to the point of applying our humanity, compassion and free will to areas of concern and underlying demands for liberty.

Like I said, I hope to pick up and develop this stub of a topic soon, but for now check out this awesome article on Healing Thoughtforms. For an intro to chaos magick [the first magickal system I got the point of, for its freeform use of creativity] you may wish to visit such notions as beliefs as means rather than ends, and Liber Null & Psychonaut: An Introduction to Chaos Magic, and excellent re-introduction to self’s true form, creation and creativity.

The wikipedia page on orgone is biased, or at least steeped in loaded language and labels, in my opinion, as it describes orgone energy to be ‘closely associated with sexuality’. This is accurate insofar as expression of sexuality, more largely, creativity, is related to LIFE, to life-positive expressions and wellbeing. The statement is misleading in that orgone has little to do with sexuality, but I suppose I should submit my edit of the Orgone Wikipedia page if I feel it needs adjustment, right?

Personally, I have yet to experiment with orgone energy, but have had promising results from my experiments with copper in the form of what’s known as the Lakhovsky Coil.

Making orgone blankets or accumulator boxes is quite easy, or you can purchase these items if you’d like to experiment.

Similar to Reich’s observations that living cells and organisms seek resonance and are renewed by resonating with an optimal frequency that permeates all space (exists in vacuum), Lakhovsky postulated that all living things possess attributes which are commonly associated with electrical circuits. Through proper configuration attributes including resistance, capacitance, and inductance, a regenerating oscillation of high frequency sine waves occurs whereby resonance with these fundamental frequencies encourages healing and even interferes with /blocks/ harmful effects of negative environmental factors.

Both Reich and Lakhovsky found that not only do organisms produce and radiate these life-positive energies, but that they also respond to these energies. Resonance can be used to nullify the effects of harmful electromagnetism and other potentially dangerous pollutants. Lakhovsky postulated that these beneficial oscillations are generated from the cosmic rays that bombard the earth continuously. So just as harmful waves bombard us in today’s high tech world, don’t forget that we are also bathed in even greater amounts of this primal, beneficial energy. Such discoveries have formed methods of healing and the science of radionics.

Where Lakhovksy cured cancer in plants and animals with his copper coils and later, his Multi-Wave Oscillator (MWO), I’m quite happy to have my meager start with curing stubborn elbow pain. After adopting a poor habit of resting against my elbow against a hard desktop while doing online stuff (and ignoring the numbness), I noticed after some time that the numbness didn’t subside as quickly as it did at first, once I stopped leaning against my elbow. In fact, after a couple of weeks of unsuccessfully trying to retrain this habit, my elbow and last two fingers in my left hand were staying numb all the time. Even after I stopped resting against my elbow the numbness persisted, accompanied by jolts of intense nerve pain that would suddenly race up and down my forearm. I waited for this to resolve itself, but after three weeks, when I saw no improvement I decided to try making an open copper coil. I wore this around my elbow joint, and a smaller one around my wrist. After the second day the numbness was reduced by about 70%. After a week my elbow and fingers, their ability to sense and firmly grasp were completely restored. See what results you experience. Try it for yourself.

Making a Lakhovsky coil is as simple as using pure copper wire (insulated or uninsulated) to fashion a loop where -and this is important- the ends do not touch. I decided to start with uninsulated copper wire and used fat rubber bands to hold the ends in position to each other while insulating them from making contact. Allegedly, the use os insulated copper wire works just as well as uninsulated, with the added benefit that insulated copper wire is already prepared for blocking contact between the ends, and will not tarnish. -uninsulated copper will need a scrubbing down every so often when worn against the skin.

For a walkthrough on making a coper coil, see How to Make a Lakhovsky Coil

I invite you to do some research on Lakhovsky and his Multi-Wave Oscilator as well as orgone energy, but caution you against the sensational claims and products designed since and far outside of Lakhovsky or Reich’s guidelines and research.

Before buying any of the sales-pitchy gadgets and devices available on some sites I recommend you read some of the basic publications regarding these topics by Reich and Lakhovsky themselves. see The Secret of Life by Lakhovsky for a primer in radionics. For a hands-on approach to orgone and building your own orgone accumulators I highly recommend the Orgone Accumulator Handbook by James DeMeo, who has continued the research of Reich. I do not wish to go into the details of all the devices sold under the name and guise of the scientific work of Reich, but suffice it to say that many of the popular orgone-related items like ‘tower busters’ are *not* connected to the findings of Reich and orgonomy. Such gimmicks are based loosely on some of the trappings of orgonomy and largely on wishful thinking, which is much better served through the use of creative thought forms and related chaos magick (see . Please for more info on the more pseudo-scientific orgone products (such as orgonite) as well as and the ongoing scientific research of orgonomy.

Counter Measures

As described in this page’s parent, , the threat of directed energy weapons is an issue in many targeted indivudals’ lives. Whether these are actually being used against a person, or the threat is just that, a threat, the effects of being left to wonder if such threats are true, can bring unnecessary psychological stress.

As Tom @ Montalk.net put it when I asked his opinion on detecting microwave weapons (paraphrasing here), purchasing a microwave signal meter/detector can be a viable tool for maintaining peace of mind. The idea is that rather than sit and wonder about the threats you may be receiving (as overt threats or themed meta threats via themed street theater, as I received from multiple stalking critters), you can simply turn on your detector and actually find out what kinds of energies you are exposed to in your home/wherever.

I would advise against purchasing the little key chain type detectors for microwaves or radio frequency (commonly found on eBay), as these are unreliable and have no means by which to adjust for background EM and RF levels. In all likelihood you will push the little button, walking around your home, and every so often it will go off from who-knows-what a passing semi-truck, etc, providing potentially misleading indications, or maybe you’ll get one that is so sensitive that the indicator light stays on all the time. When what you really need is a meter with a gauge that shows a range, not on/off.

Research and comparative shopping led me to stores like Zap Checker. The most affordable ZC 185 model (currently at $159.00) is perfectly adequate for all kinds of radio frequency and higher microwave frequency detection. It can be used to home in on wireless devices such as hidden cameras, bugs, wireless computer devices as well as microwaves.

Once you have a proper detector you can take background readings and then be able to tell if there are inordinately high amounts of electromagnetic or, specifically, microwave signals coming your way. Keep in mind that there are such things as hot spots generated by nothing malicious other than the devices normally used today, so a high reading does not necessarily mean directed energy weapon attack. Keep your head and keep taking and recording readings to determine what is happening in an area.

So what happens if you detect evidence of directed energy weapons? Chances are you won’t. Do keep in mind that taking baseline/background readings are important, otherwise your detector can work against you and reinforce paranoid slants of perception. If once you’ve established background readings you are detecting focused signals of RF or EM, then go from there. Hot spots can often be found in areas where metal ducting materials reflect and so enhance signals. You can rule those out and move on to further isolation of the direction from which the signals are coming.

Check out this very good article from Montalk.net for more info on detection and blocking of microwaves.

If you have findings, concerns and/or questions, or elsewhere and gather perspective.
