A musical mystery

Posted on by

Last night, I was listening to some music on Youtube, and stumbled upon a summary of all the things Giorgio Moroder made in the ’80s, which turns out to be probably a third of the greatest hits from the period, and I knew most of them from before, but now I stumbled upon one I didn’t know about:

The first shock was that Moroder actually did a song with Mercury – it’s not like Queen had a lack of creative talent. The second shock is that only Mercury was credited, although I was sure I can hear Brian May’s guitar there. Also, why isn’t this song more widely known, since it’s great, and… wait a minute, why does it have something that I recognise as iconic Queen sound? Because it sounds exactly like Radio Ga Ga, that’s why. What’s going on there?

So I looked it up this morning, and it seems to be all about contract obligations and copyright. Apparently, Giorgio Moroder was doing the soundtrack for some kind of a 1980s remake of Fritz Lang’s “Metropolis”, and likely thought that “Queen” sound would go great with that, considering what they did with “Flash Gordon” a few years earlier, but that’s just my guesswork. In any case, the project was contracted by CBS, and “Queen” had a contract with EMI, so they couldn’t be credited for it, nor perform it on stage, so Mercury was credited and Moroder’s pivotal role was historically all but forgotten, as is the case with lots of his stuff, since he didn’t care much about putting himself out there.

So, since Mercury got permission to use clips from “Metropolis” for his videos, the “Queen”, still under impression from Moroder’s synth sound, went out and made “Radio Ga Ga”, with Metropolis footage and all:

So, let’s use this opportunity to shower praise on Giovanni Giorgio Moroder, the man who invented the sound of the 1980s.

Israel attacked Iran – and quite successfully, killing most of their top leadership and nuclear scientists, sabotaging air defence, infiltrating who knows what; essentially, it’s a typical first-strike done American way, which is to say in a sneaky, treacherous, cloak and dagger way. The Russians and Chinese should take notice, because they are next. Basically, Iran’s mistake was wishing to have the “moral high ground”, the way Putin does, and their enemies don’t care about that; they merely own the media and lie, and sheeple believe them.

Iran eventually got their shit together, which is to say they got their air defences working again, and they retaliated somewhat, but they are still running around like headless chicken, because Israel pulled off a successful first strike, and the side that does that has a huge advantage in a modern war.

Now Israel has the balls to publicly cry and pretend to be some kind of a victim of the whole thing. No you’re not a victim. You started a war, the enemy fought back, now you are hurt and understand why war is a bad thing and reasonable people avoid it.

I wonder whether Iran was smart enough to buy plutonium for the first dozen or so nuclear warheads from North Korea, in case of such contingency, where Israel attacks them and damages their nuclear programme, they decide that their refusal to build nuclear weapons was a mistake, start a nuclear programme in earnest, and in the meanwhile, which is to say 6 months, they have several weapons as deterrence, because let’s be clear, it’s obvious that Israel is going to nuke them next if they think they are going to get away with it, which translates to “if Iran doesn’t have nukes of their own with which they can retaliate in kind”.

In the meanwhile, since there’s nothing I can do about it, I’m finding inconsequential things to do. Clearing fallen trees with a chainsaw, backing up computers, getting a Skylake mini pc that won’t run win11 for almost free on ebay, and I don’t care because I’m putting Debian 12 on it anyway. Things like that. Listening to ’80s music in the background. Waiting for the time to pass, because my work here is done.

Questions

I was recently asked a question that, I think, warrants a public answer here.

“The end of the world, pralaya, is supposed to be a major event that would influence the world of the dead as much as the world of the living. It makes no sense for it not to include someone who died a month earlier, for instance. Also, what about the newly born children who had no opportunity to develop by that point?”

This is a bit hard for me to answer because I would have to disclose information that is either secret, so I don’t know, or I’m unwilling to reveal it. However, I can say this much.

If by “world of the dead” you mean the “NDE plane”, the answer is complex, because it’s not necessarily a singular place. But let’s say that the souls generally speaking move in the same general sphere. Things are widely known in this sphere, that are not allowed to be known outside, and the memories of the souls that are allowed to interact with the physical plane are being actively suppressed by the beings in charge of such things. This is actually not a new thing. Also, I perceive this “astral” sphere to be so connected to the physical plane that they are essentially the same thing. Whether an earth-bound soul is incarnated or astral at any given point, does not change the fact that it will be subject to the same rules of judgment. You can look at it this way: there are rules for ascension to the next level of existence that need to be met. If you don’t meet them, you share the fate of this world. It’s not that someone will go around and check whether some soul is to be destroyed or not. They will check whether they meet the requirements for eternal life. Those that don’t will be destroyed automatically. From what I can understand, anyone who is anywhere near meeting the requirements will be treated with all kinds of patience and healing, but there are also those who endlessly abused the current system, and they will be summarily wiped out.

I would expect restrictions on incarnation on the physical plane to have been placed a while ago, which means everybody knows what they are getting into, and they need a very good reason, based on dharma, in order to pass through a “wall of interdiction”. Whether someone dies as a child, adult or an old man, never mattered before and is not going to start to matter now. Incarnations are interrupted early. Abortions exist. Infant deaths exist, and they were in fact the majority of deaths throughout history. This is not relevant. What is relevant is whether one attained what they came here for. Some might want to experience it only briefly, and design their incarnation with this intent. Also, the age of the body and the age of the soul are independent variables. It’s not those with young bodies that will have the problem, but those with souls that failed to attain eternity, are of time and will perish within it.

The number of actual souls in circulation here seems to be lesser than I would have thought. We’re talking thousands.

I am simply in awe of human faith in the creative power of their thoughts and beliefs – or, in other words, belief that they will override reality and substitute their own if they put fingers in their ears deep enough and yell “la la la” loudly enough.

It’s not just one thing in isolation, it’s a pattern. For instance, the Italians built a city of 6 million people between a stratovolcano with a history of explosive catastrophic eruptions and a supervolcanic field, where they literally intended to build a new spa resort at the edge of the solfatara crater in the smack-middle of what is equivalent of the Norris geyser basin in Yellowstone, and now that the supervolcano is acting up and the experts are advising immediate evacuation of at least the village in the red zone, everybody is acting as if the problem is going to go away if only they stopped noticing it.

On a political level, we are in a situation where nuclear escalation of the conflict in Ukraine didn’t happen yet only because Putin was so opposed to starting the nuclear war himself that he’s trading immediate retaliation for loss of deterrence, basically making it more likely in the long run. This, of course, is only a symptom of the global destabilisation due to a systemic collapse of the entire West, which became so ideologically unhinged it’s acting like a retard with a gun; economically, sociologically, politically and in all other relevant terms, the West is doomed.

And this is the situation where the Internet is full of people who:
– obsess over new gadgets
– obsess over vacation spots
– talk about “1st world problems” ironically while California is either on fire or having an open insurgency or not having water
– ridicule “doomsayers” who are concerned that the world as we know it is fucked
– obsess over CO2 emissions, gender and plastic straws.

The entire news feed looks like something that would have been on “Onion” or some other satire fake-news site a decade ago. But yeah, everything is fine, people have been saying the world was going to end thousand years ago and it’s still here.

That’s true, people have indeed been predicting the end of the world since antiquity. However, people in the fifth century have been saying that the Rome is falling and the anti-doomers, starting with St. Augustine, replied that people have always been predicting the fall of Rome and yet it’s been here for a thousand years and it will be here for another thousand at least.

I wonder whether the dinosaurs would think that the world is still here. Let’s ask them. Oh wait…

My role?

What’s my role in all this?

Ever since 1997, I felt great urgency about this; and by “this” I mean finding all viable candidates for initiation into vajra and higher levels. I did my absolute best, even to the point of doing very questionable things so that I would survive longer and thus remain capable of giving a chance to more souls. I wrote articles and books, argued with people who very diligently and aggressively opposed my efforts, faced opposition and betrayal from students who turned mad, evil or unwilling to make progress. Within a few years, it was over. The enemies won, and I could no longer do anything constructive in that respect.

The urgency I felt in the beginning, and tried to convey to students, turned out to be very real. The window closed. I think it opened again in 2010 or so, when Sanat Kumar slipped on tea and was out of the picture. It was then that I wrote the new books on theory, finally explaining how my original techniques actually work and what they do. I think higher initiation again became possible since then, but honestly… my enemies were more vigilant and fanatical than my supporters, I was not taken seriously, and my reach was minimal. Also, somewhere around 2006, with the ascent of smartphones and social media, people stopped caring about spirituality altogether and this is where the horizon of opportunity ended.

So, it’s not that I didn’t try to save as many souls as possible with techniques and approach that was from the very beginning designed exactly for this – basically, attain darshan of the Lord in order to align yourself vertically, awaken Kundalini, learn the techniques; up-stream kriya, resonance and the inner space, then the method of grounding into elements, with the goal of attaining initiation into vajra.

Very few actually did it, even among those who practiced the method. It works, but I seem to have been the only one who was actually motivated. The others thought they had plenty of time, explored worldly bullshit, lost focus, found other things they preferred doing.

Almost no new people with genuine interest appeared. Nobody cared.

Now, I sense that some people blame me for what’s about to happen, as if I’m the one who is going to wipe them out. No motherfuckers, I was the one trying to save you for the last 3 decades, while you made fun of me. So I failed. Congratulations, you really messed up my evil plans.
