"I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man she must be quiet.”
― 1 Timothy 2:12, New Testament

"The Germans believe that those of the female sex posses an inherent sacredness and the wisdom for prophecy; and as such the men do not avoid asking advice of their women and nor do the men ignore when their women reply.”
― Germania, Tacitus

Notes: From a Gnostic viewpoint, acknowledging the inherent sacredness of the female sex, rooted in Wisdom, mirrors the significance of Sophia within the cosmic order. Just as Sophia embodies divine Wisdom and understanding, women can serve as channels for elevated spiritual insight and intuition. The imposition of the Abrahamic religions, which uphold an off planet male deity removed from the realm of senses disrupts our connection to the sacred Earth and nature. Simultaneously, it undermines the historical role of women in prophecy, insight, and Wisdom.

If you want to spread the Dharma, work in your immediate environment first.
If you're still young, go meet older folk, be there for them.

They need a higher cause as their mundane life slowly turns strenuous, lonely and painful. They're approaching the doors to death - at a quicker pace and with much more palpable certainty than they may have been aware of at an earlier stage.

While many of the older generations in Europe have had some sort of Christian spiritual framework growing up, very few of them have actually done the inner work that gets them to a higher, free, blissful state of awareness. Few of them know how to leave in the company of all things good and wholesome, in short, how to die an auspiciois death.

Muster some courage, and be there for them.

Be there for them when they're confronted with the mortality of their partner.

Be there for them when they're confronted with their own mortality.

Be there for them when they're confronted with the attachments they have to their families.

Be there for their families as their elder ages, and eventually passes away.

Don't pity them. Provide substantial, authentic, compassionate support.

Don't come onto them with foreign dogma in words and concepts. Don't be harsh. Don't try to directly shatter their worldview on the last couple steps before the finish line. They might not be stable enough to take any heavy hits. In a case of mental deterioration caused by Alzheimer's or other degenerative diseases, they won't even have the capacity to understand the words you speak.

You know, be skillful about it.

Learn about them as a person, and understand in which way you could communicate the Universal Principle/Dharma to them so that they can receive it.

So many elderly people die alone, suffering, and afraid. Don't turn a blind eye to that. It's real, and you're going there, too, if you don't put in the effort to create merit.

Genuinely make friends with an old Lady or Gentleman in your neighborhood and see how that friendship enhances your spiritual practice for the benefit of all.

Offer some of your time to give them love. Talk with them about the things that are close to their heart. Be tactful in your speech. Listen to their stories. Practice patience when they're slow. Find a non-verbal method to transmit your intention to them if needed. With time, they'll open up.



Hold their hand and be quieter than the system you're touching.

They might be able to hear themselves.

Ride the waves like your life depends on it, because it does.

This is not real.
All is illusion.

Knowing,
Yet still stuck in the paradigms
Mind has created.

Oh woe is me!
Nightmares plaguing,
Feels like running in jello,
Petrified.

Not getting anywhere,
Struggling so, so hard.
To no avail.

Desperate.
I want to leave.
I want to leave.
I want to leave.

While in the cycle of seemingly endless suffering,
Realize that it is brought about and kept alive by desire,
Based on the assumption of a self-existent "I".
Renounce.
Let go.

Longing for the non-dual state and lucidity so deeply.

I want to be free.
I want to be free.
I want to be free.

Pacing, twisting, grasping,
Thrashing back and forth in the bed of delusion.
The pain is real and unbearable,
And persistently present in all actions,
Waking or sleeping,
There’s no difference.

All brought about by desire.
Renounce,
For desire only justifies a state of lack.
Let go.

It is time to get serious.
Make a move on your spiritual path.

What is a Desire-to-Escape, really?
It's a wish for freedom and clarity.
It’s a wish for full Conscious Control,
Empowerment over the Direction of the inner quality of existence.

Subconscious mind doesn’t have direct access to the senses,
It perceives only whatever goes on in the conscious mind all day.
So what we think and do all day, we feed to our subconscious.

And we take it to bed.

Dreaming is a digestive process.
What our subconscious is fed with,
That we dream of.

If all we supply are distractions, clutter and delusion,
That's what will be found in our dreams.

If mind is clear,
The true nature of things realized
Delusions cut through and
Awareness sharp —
The focus of mind turned on itself —
That's what our dreams will hold.


What our dreams hold
is an immediate reflection
of the Inner Quality of our Existence.

Take A Fall. Let Go.

As you develop your concentration on the clarity of your consciousness, you will reach a point where you will be only at the conscious level [...]. You have gone beyond the physical, beyond the world of the five senses. Because you have thrown off the blankets of the superstitions, the heavy wrong conceptions, you will feel so unified, and you will have an experience of space, universal space.

— Lama Yeshe: Mahamudra. How to Discover Our True Nature

Sleep happens to you
It's not a failure if you can't

In any case, you will at some point
Fall

You'll let go
And you'll forget where you are

If you can't
I'll stay up, I'll stay up too
I'd rather see everything as a blur tomorrow
If you do

Silence is golden.

This is Archeofuturism. It is the synthesis of sustainability and will, principle and form, timelessness and change, order and chaos, responsibility and creativity, duty and freedom.

Archeofuturism obliterates limiting systems and creates an openness out of which new forms may arise without the lingering corruption and stagnation of obsolete models of thought.

It is at once a radically open and thoroughly grounded framework - a synthetic worldview in the fullest meaning.

The Archeofuturist rejects attachment to labels and perspectives, preferring instead to utilize these things as tools for navigating the world. No clinging, only fluidity. All comes down to the vision, and circumstances are always framed in whaveter way is most conducive towards the manifestation of this vision.

The Archeofuturist likewise prioritizes critical/dynamic thought, self-actualization, and spiritual sovereignty. The expansion of consciousness is the basis out of which he acts.

The frame of Archeofuturism works to maximize the level of creativity and will to power that can be sustained without burning out in an uncontrollable diffusion of energy. It is vitalized balance.

Archeofuturism strikes the middle way, reconciling the Olympians and Titans:

Prometheus is sometimes translated as "forethought" and, as such, fundamentally represents the breaking out of one state into another - he is innovation and the progenitor of the new. He is the radical overthrowing of an existing order and the bringer of a new dawn.

In this context, he represents opposition to the Olympians and what would be framed as stagnant order. He is a new light illuminating a new day for mankind and all of those clinging to old forms screech and shield their eyes from this blinding sunrise.

Yet, for the crime of stealing the Olympian fire, and with it giving humanity technology, knowledge, and civilization, Prometheus was condemned by Zeus to eternal torment. He was bound to a rock, and an eagle (the emblem of Zeus) came to peck out his liver every day in an endless cycle, not unlike that of the Buddhist conception of samsara.

Now, if we view things from a bit of a different angle than just the Olympian = oppressor mentality, we can pull something else out of this.

Thinking about Zeus as the creator of all things and as representing law and order (the order which upholds all of reality), then we see Prometheus from the frame of someone always grasping for the new with no thought of any validity that the pre-existing may have - someone rashly casting aside the old simply out of discontent.

For this transgression, Prometheus had eternal suffering inflicted upon him specifically focusing on the liver. This is important because in ancient Greece, the liver was thought to be the seat of emotions. Could we not say that the Buddhist conception of duhkha is experienced through the emotional sense of lack and hollowness?

When we break this down, we see how the endless pursuit of newness and will simply for the sake of it is not sustainable and inevitably leads to eternal suffering. That Prometheus, as the embodiment of human striving, while absolutely having great value, is not in and of itself enough.

What is clear is that there must be a balance between the two sides. There has to be a synthesis.

It is the creative and innovative Promethean essence which Archeofuturism encompasses within the futurist pole while balancing it with the groundedness and order of the Olympians on the archaic side.

It is in this way that Archeofuturism must be understood as a truly dynamic and authentic synthesis in the most profound sense - it takes the positive elements from seemingly opposed poles and merges them together into a new fusion. This fusion transcends the limits of either position and opens up pathways and opportunities that would previously have been impossible.
