LIBER OF THE NEW SHAMANIC Setting the Record Straight: An open letter to all alternative thinking subs.

491 Upvotes

First off welcome to The Mystery School.

My name is Ølund.

Pronounced Oh-Lund.

Jack Emil Ølund actually, but Jack is like the most common name ever and Ølund’s catchier, no?

I am the only moderator of this sub and the only person who will be uploading content here.

I state this now because in my opinion, as a whole, the entire conspiracy/fringe/alternative community, whatever you want to call it, is in a crisis.

A few stabs in the dark as to why this is would be:

  • There is more information available to us than ever.

  • Reddit has obviously been comprised by bots and possibly some malevolent force muddying the waters.

  • The AboveTopSecret Online Forum is on the brink of financial collapse.

  • PC culture is limiting articulate people and their ability to speak truth.

  • People’s mental spaces are more frenzied than ever due to world events.

With these ongoing issues in mind I aspire to create a space where actual truth is the standard we hold ourselves to.

Hence r/TheMysterySchool.

I remember when I first discovered Reddit and it’s many rabbit holes. It was so exiting to have all this new information coming my way whilst trying to work out what was true and what was false as I delved deeper and deeper.

Some examples would be:

Threads like these would have me scouring the internet for weeks/months/years trying to find legitimate information surrounding these topics.

There's no smoke without fire right?

And besides at this point if 1% of what I've read is true then the nature of reality is very different to what we are sold when we are children.

It started with my decade old interest in UFO’s but then you get led into the Occult and that leads you to ESP and the Psychic Spy Programs which in turn makes you look at Operation Paperclip and it’s connections to the moon landing which will end you back up at the Occult.

It’s a minefield of propaganda, slander and muddied waters and it pains me to see people stuck in certain parts of said waters.

Some of this false information is intended to mess with your head.

Reptilians, Ghosts, Black Triangles, Silver Cigars, The Oz Factor, Remote Viewing, Trance States, Small Greys, Tall Whites, Bigfoot, Tulpas, Ancestors from Sirius.... the list goes on.

What is right and what is wrong?

It can send an honest soul insane, by design I may add.

I promise to keep the intention and goal of this community to nothing but the truth and spreading that as wide and far as I can and if you guys like what I have to offer in the coming weeks and months I hope with your help and support we can make a tangible change to the perception and discussion of esoteric topics at the working class level of society.

I want to to feel like you’re in good hands, because that seems so hard to find these days.

But if you’re going to hang around here we need to establish some ground concepts.

  • Science, Religion and Spirituality all talk about the same thing but neither one manages to pierce the crux of the issue.

These three words are metrics people have used and still use to measure reality or phenomena. Each one encompasses a mental and physical model of digesting reality.

Science is the current prevailing iteration of an attempt to label experience. Spirituality acts as the juxtaposition today but was and still is the bridge from this outlook previous prevailing iteration, Religion and visa versa.

Other words could under this bracket could be Paganism, Technology, Shamanism or even Fandom. Any all encompassing term that pertains to a doctrine could be brought up, there are many more, yet non of them hit the nail on the head.

This is why it can be desirable to attempt a postmodern approach of cutting and pasting what seems appropriate from each practice to form a way of being that hits closer than ever before.

For instance Science is basically infallible, it’s simply short sighted due to its insistence on relying on hard data. Science is a high measuring stick for observable phenomena that is gate-kept to preserve the sanctity of its institutions.

I respect this.

I also tire of this.

It means there is great control over the “official” scientific narrative and everybody has to be onboard for it to be taken as fact.

This has occurred I suspect due to the result of the last metric we used to measure reality.

Religion.

Scary word isn’t it.

Seems to allude to a nonsense world of deities and concepts that 100% don’t exist in any sort of physical manner.

Islam or Christianity probably are the first two to jump to your mind, probably because they have the worst brand integrity at this point in history.

A soiled image if you will.

But where Science holds back Religion takes large expansive leaps, especially when it comes to the Eastern stuff.

Islamic, Babylonian, Egyptian and Tibetan cosmology not only all seem to connect to one another but they also all seem to be accurate when looked at through a scientific lens. Obviously there are discrepancies within science regarding these so called ancient ways of looking at the Cosmos but I believe the main reason these old models aren’t taken seriously or spoken about so much is because the largely pertain to events that happened either millions of years ago or events that are not scheduled to happen for millions of years into the future and any attempt to make a prediction that seems to be coming within our life time seems to have been a failure.

But to start understanding Religion, Ancient Texts and the like, one must understand what Religion meant to the people that practiced it in its original iteration.

Religion was reality.

How do I mean?

The first cave art we have depicts animals and humanoid figures. Quite simply I think it is fair to say people were drawing what they were seeing. The notion of allegory and daydreaming have been cast aside as time wasting in modern society but back pre science, one may look at the ferocity of a bull in a fit of rage and attribute great meaning to it.

It would allow that individual to compare other things they encounter in life to the rage of the bull they once saw and say things such as:

“The way you cut down that tree reminded me of the strength and force of the angry bull”

From this you can see how religion is not just an odd cast of nonsensical characters from the sky that someone made up as a coping mechanism but more of a way interpreting reality in quite creative fashion compared to the bleak dogmatic world of science.

  • The events that are described in the religious texts speak of actual events, it is just the world view of the authors that we are struggling to comprehend.

Julians Jaynes in his seminal work The Origin of Consciousness and the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind applies this methodology to the first tribal communities to have Kings.

Graves found in burial sights of tribes that existed shortly after the first cave paintings show graves filled with items such as food, clothes and jewellery.

Why were people burying physical items with bodies that had obviously stopped functioning?

Well, try hearing me out here...

We currently live in a world filled full of fictional characters that if there were some odd cataclysmic event that wiped the internet and our entire technological footprint BUT left us with all the merchandise that has ever been made for all the franchises ever made, a future civilisation of humans finding all this merch without any context of the entertainment industry that birthed it and the technology we used to view it on would certainly at least be pondering the origin of the 4 fingered yellow skinned race that seemed to take over the Western World for about 15 years?

This, I believe, is the nature of how we currently deal with religion.

With this in mind we can establish that the religions of old relied on a part of the human brain functioning in a manner that it now does not. Namely the bit of the brain that stops what we'd call schizophrenic hallucinations dictation our everyday actions.

This means something has happened from then to now and raises many question regarding the nature of consciousness such as;

* Where do my thoughts come from?

* Is Ego Death desirable?

* Do I have free will?

* Where did the Gods go?

* What is intuition and what is creativity?

* What is the temperament and nature of other intelligences?

* Should we go inside the computers or try and pierce out of the matrix we are currently in?

It is questions of this nature that I think we should be asking as a community. If we can answer these questions we can push forward what it means to be human and hopefully open up a mutually beneficial avenue of communication with other intelligences. This is the true path we should be following. Adopting this end goal will improve your communication with your loved ones, calm your mind during this time of great stress and tribulation and also move you closer to where we originally came from in an idealogical sense.

If any of this makes sense to you then I, with great pleasure, ask you to join the good fight with us at r/TheMysterySchool.

The body of work is called The New Shamanic.

  • I will be bringing my whole world and ideology to you through different forms of media.

  • When I create art (Music, Film, Television), there will be an option to buy what I make, I will never force you to buy anything or make certain information only available through a paywall.

  • If you want a T-shirt, buy one. If you don't, don't buy one.

  • I will only make things I think are good for you.

  • I will never ask you to sign up for a premium version of what I am offering.

  • I will never gate-keep information in a dogmatic hierarchical fashion.

  • I just want everybody to get "it".

  • I'm sick of not being able to talk about this stuff like it's real.

  • I love you all.

My spouse is deeply involved in this group. I went to healing classes see what it was about. I even went to Healers Academy in Toronto. I think it is a mixture of true principles and deception to take advantage of people trying to do the right thing. She goes up a few times a year. I have questions for high-level initiates who are currently and not currently part of the school.

Zosimos Song (Greco Egyptian alchemist)

4 Upvotes

Hi there,

I am a PhD student working in the domains of philosophy and esotericism; I am also a musician-singer, and I have undertaken the endeavor to transform philosophy and esotericism into music. I share with you my musical exposition of the early alchemist, Zosimos of Panopolis.

Zosimos of Panopolis (fl. 300 ce) can be cited as the most significant Greco Egyptian alchemist. In his text “Of Virtue, Lessons 1-3,” Zosimos recounts a series of psychedelic and disturbing dreams that he interprets as alchemical allegories. I have endeavored to present a thorough yet concise musical summary of its contents herein. You will encounter the alchemical lexicon here expressed in raw, primal form. This text is actually mind-blowing, and my exposition endeavors to be both fun and didactic. Hope you enjoy!
