The Secret Religions of the West, Session 1 of 3
If you want to impose a totalitarian system, you have a problem on your hands: reality. The real is in your way and will eventually veto your project. Far sooner, people who can perceive reality will step in and prevent you from taking society over a cliff. Therefore, the only way to install a totalitarian system is to negate the real in the minds of those over whom you would rule. This is accomplished by creating an interpretive frame that deliberately causes people to misunderstand reality, sometimes called a “second reality” or “pseudoreality,” or even a “hyperreality,” which loses all contact with reality through its images and constructions. The totalitarian system “works” and would only work in that false image of reality. In his first talk at the Sovereign Nations Mere Simulacrity conference in Phoenix, Arizona, in December 2022, James Lindsay presents the idea and mechanism of negating the real to replace it with a hyperreal simulation in which totalitarianism can be accomplished. This, he argues, enables the installation of the Esoteric cult religion needed to advance the tyranny. Join him to understand how the Secret Religions of the West have slowly brought us to the brink of this disaster.

I don’t understand the controversy in denying reality. Every human project for the future does this. We as a species are endlessly trying to recreate reality based on what we imagine. The question with these political programs is about their inability to coexist with alternative views of the future, indeed their desire to destroy the alternatives simply because they can’t understand them. But anyone with a plan is all denying reality in some way.
I DIDN’T THINK JAMES GOT INTO THIS KIND OF STUFF BUT I’M GLAD HE HAS
I’VE LOOKED AT THIS OCCULTIC STUFF FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS
FOR THE UNINITIATED ( SORRY ) IT’S A COMPLETE MINEFIELD
20 YEARS AGO WHEN 911 HAPPENED THE INTERNET WAS FULL OF THIS STUFF , I THOUGHT WE WERE FINISHED WITH IT BUT BECAUSE OF WOKE WE HAVE TO REVISIT IT ONCE AGAIN .
I hope there will be corresponding Bullets videos, especially for sharing purposes. This content is stunning.
God you’re good.
This might be of interest, TIK History made today a video referencing this talk: The REAL Religion behind National Socialism. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y011Pdrb3Sk
Every single religion that human beings have created–and they are all human imaginary creations–have presented a false reality by formulating a false metaphysics: metaphysical dualism, a false view of reality that holds that reality comprises two dimensions: a material dimension, and an immaterial (supernatural, “divine”) dimension. This dualistic metaphysics has been used by theists for centuries to justify the promotion and enforcement of a moral code of self-sacrifice via a church/state political arrangement, i.e., a totalitarian theocracy.
The stoics and Taoists accept what is evident to be natural and claim that denying the obvious is the source of misery and uneasiness. They stay quite and unmoved in the midst of the human chaos of the world taking the road of inner peace and not projecting into the future and go with the flow of life. Fighting and flirting with conflict is sure to end in trouble. Therefore the wise take the way of what is or suchness. The flexible mind will yield to what is and endure and prosper. The hard and inflexible will fall and stumble. The sages don’t bicker or argue with people while their light shines it eases the tension of others. The wise find the simple things to be treasures. The don’t fret over things they cant control or change. Change is but a spark that soon burns out. The religions glorify the priests and holy profits but the sage glorifies the beauty of life itself.
wow! i wish i could be wise and sage-like and ramble off this stream of cuntiousness occultic lore…guess i’ll also need to eat a few grams of hash potatoes (nudge nudge, blink blink ) to reach the lofty creative genius of this priest of pedantry…too bad it’s unavailable in my part of the world…alas
Sorry, but He really deserves to be mocked ( someone’s got to do it, eh!)…easier to read thru Hegel or whats-his-face moron marxist lunatic ( take yer pick…) seriously..just you try to read thru that comment. I do not think he got the message about Dr. Lindsay’s ‘quest’ to bring down the Marxies… that guy just flew away on his own personal cloud nine ( cloud nonsense
I disagree. It is the illusion of a single, (in Western philosophy, materialist) reality that is the falsehood.
Rejected, with cause, by most deep probers of the subject, over the last 200 years it has gained some ascendancy based on speculation on Kant’s ‘Prolegomena for All Future Knowledge’, particularly in the limits of self-awareness.
[I can outline the train of logic, if you wish it, but] the departure point lies between Kant’s “phenomena” and “noumena”, i.e., whether perception creates/shapes “reality” or whether it is an effect of “reality independent of perception”, and therefore inevitably hypothetical.
Religions are at best crude efforts to explain phenomena. That much is correct. They predictably fail in their task. But the notions about their origins generally relied on my advocates of “materialism” (more accurately, “energyism”) fail to pass their own standards of skepticism. [For example; It is not reasonable to think dual existences were invented only to substitute for material explanations. not yet understood.]
You do have a good point about the abuse of established dual-existence theories. But that is in essence that “there is a higher form of wisdom that makes what seems irrational, rational.” [as in; God gave us kings as his stewards on earth]. But materialism does the same thing through the idea of “those most suited to run things.” [as in; the dictatorship of the organization of those that best understand and are dedicated to the realization of human potential, or “The Party of the People”.]
You’re right that theology has been abused this way, but the problem lies in the environmental context of life and differences between members of a social unit. It is something religion has been abused to exploit, but its exploitation is not an effect of religion, it exists independent of religion as well.
This convinces you not at all. But it should give you cause for doubt of the idea that you have arrived at the only “thoughtful” conclusion.
Exactly, sir.
