The year of the tiger can also be marked as the year of 'Saturn Returns'. Although Saturn is commonly associated with Capricorn, the goat, providing us with the horns of the devil and the black companion of Satan, as well as the Black Sun. He sometimes is depicted riding a donkey, which astrologically is Sagittarius, therefore linking Saturn to the two-faced gods like Janus who is most famous for the month of January. Since Saturn has been identified as Cronus, we know that he is the god of time as well as agriculture. The changing of the seasons was very important to earlier Man and relates directly to the turning of the yearly wheel. But there are larger cycles inside of even larger cycles. Saturn was supported in his authority by the Titans, who were said to hold up the earth from within after being imprisoned by Jupiter. The Titans are also said to exist in natural disasters that cleanse the earth. Throughout popular culture and history, both contemporary and esoteric, men have worked to encourage the return of Saturn and these Titans to purify the earth. We know that Omicron can be translated to the 'little o' (omi) or 'beginning' in relation to 'time' (cron or cronus). Now, Ihu brings us the meaning of 'god rescues' and is defined as a 'variant of Jesus', the divine adversary, and the return of chaos, the titans, Saturn, the ancient gods, Lovecraftian Great Old Ones, etc. Ihu is also similar to EA, or the Sumerian Enki who brought the flood. Enki was furthermore the son of Tiamat, the Celestial being bursting from the Earth in the Eternals.

In this very special episode of our series on science fiction and futurism, Jorge and Aaron are joined by Derek Murphy and Mitchell Zemil, the creators of "Preserving Worlds" on Means TV. "Preserving Worlds" is a documentary travelogue through aging and beloved virtual worlds. Using narration, interviews, and an impeccable, nostalgic vibe featuring archival and in-game footage, and a laidback, synthesized retro soundtrack, this series is a hauntological survey of what was, what could have been, and perhaps what can still be in the age of the Internet and social media: from Myst Online, to Doom, to Second Life, and even Final Fantasy XIV. The gang and their wonderful guests discuss the dialectics and contradictions of virtual worlds under late-stage capitalism, the individuals whose lives have been changed by these communities, and what the grim future of our cyberpunk dystopia holds for the Internet, social media, and virtual worlds.

J. Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the Atomic Bomb, was the vessel for the creation of this wonder weapon. He is the physical receptacle for the knowledge of atomic power to be manifest. The Japanese Emperor Hirohito was also said to be the embodiment of the sun goddess, made manifest as the ultimate source of life and creation. The atomic bombs were dropped on two cities in the Land of the Rising Sun, one of which was Nagasaki, the eastern hub of western Christianity in Japan - a religion based on Person sun worship. As an open test of the weapon's power, as with napalm dropped on Tokyo months prior, the atomic bombs ripped open the eastern gate in the most horrific occult operation perhaps ever conducted. These bombs are not just atom bombs, they are the ADAM BOMB sparking a new form of BIG BANG. What cosmic horror will they bring forth? The new Godzilla Minus One movie from Toho is taking on the issue with post-war Japan dealing with fallout and the famous kaiju and titan, while the advertisers promote it as a sequel to Nolan's Oppenheimer film. It is an odd way to promote a film that is also being juxtaposed to Barbie. In esoteric terms the Barbie movie is the XX and Oppenheimer is 0 hour, the X and 0 representing the alchemical marriage. The July 16, 1945, Trinity bomb opened a gateway and Apollo 11, July 16, 1945, opened and penetrated the heavens. The fiery and bloody holocausts of Dresden and Tokyo, leading up to the atomic bombs being dropped on Japan, are the sacrifices needed to invoke the old ones by opening the gateway of the east. Toho is the EAST gate and Hollywood is the WEST gate. The trinity bomb itself is named after the Hindu trinity of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, who Oppenheimer quotes after detonating the bomb. Most of the Manhattan project was also run by Jewish men and a woman, who must have been versed in Kabbala, and the Judaic word Shiva, meaning seven days of mourning. In other words the ultimate weapon was created to bring about the ultimate destruction, an inversion of the creation of the world through the seven days of creation; through this destruction emerges the old world of resurrected gods brought about by the destruction of the atom and creation of a new Adam. The Hindu Mahabharata also describes such weapons in ancient times and as Oppenheimer himself said, Trinity was “not first atomic bomb, but [the] first atomic bomb in modern times.” If the National Labs are built on energy vortexes and Oppenheimer himself, once suicidal, then described as charismatic, before questioning his life's work, was possessed by the spirit of the ‘evil' he created, we are witnessing far more than history. This the creation of the new MAN, a new Adam with the power of the universe that God created.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5328407/advertisement

Derek Murphy is a USA Today bestselling author with a PhD in Literature, who's been featured in CNN, writes fantasy and sometimes lives in castles.

A recent article form the New York Time compared AI to the shoggoth of H.P. Lovecraft - monstrous beings of black protoplasm, bred as slaves that eventually develop brains of their own. An article from 2017 in MIT Technology Review compared AI to the black cube of Saturn. AI is also really good at doing one specific thing and that is creating Lovecraftian monsters. In the Watchmen comicbook series, Adrian Veidt, also known as Ozymandias, attempts to unite the US and USSR against a common enemy to avoid nuclear war. As opposed to the movie version wherein Doctor Manhattan is scapegoated, in the comic Adriam Veldt used advanced genetic engineering technology to create a giant monster from outer space. The monster is a squid, and as the plan proceeds he teleports the monster through a gateway into New York City. A 2022 promotion for the show Stranger Things lit up the Empire State building, along with others around the world, with a portal to the Upside Down. The recent wildfires from Canada that dumped smoke and particulate on New York City create a background similar to the tv show promotion. In fact, the ad this time was for the game Diablo IV. It feature the Queen of Succubi, Lilith, with a caption and date that read “Welcome to Hell, New York” - 6/6/23. New York is also home to a Ruth Bader Ginsburg statue featuring Lilith's horns and tentacle arms. Lilith is the mother of all demons, the tempter of men, and aborter of children. It is therefore appropriate that NYC's One World Trade building was lit up pink to celebrate abortion rights in 2019. Lilith also wears a rainbow necklace, an outward projection of her disdain for God's promise to never flood the earth and kill innocence. In reliefs, Lilith is shown with the legs of a serpent, with two guardian owls that guard her dominion. She haunts in dreams and from the Upside Down. It is from this realm that Gordie Rose, founder of D-Wave, said that quantum computing will summon what he compared to the visions of H.P. Lovecraft: “And these things we're summoning into the world now, are not demons, they're not evil, they're more like the Lovecraftian great ‘old ones'. These entities are not necessarily going to be aligned with what we want.” The 1920 a movie ALGOL, about an alien giving advanced technology to humans, essentially became the base for modern algorithms starting with ALGOL 60 and 58. Technology that led to the atomic bomb also acts as a sort of trigger to open the gateway and summon the Old Ones. Algol is known as the blinking demon star and AI is essential this - A Eye.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5328407/advertisement

We continue our discussion with Michael Strange of Troubled Minds podcast, and Derek Murphy, in this part 2 episode, about the tentacles of the abysmal deep and the internet. There may be more than a ghost in the machine and, in fact, this ghost may have escaped the machine. From beyond the reality we know, a super-intelligence could already be coldly operating from outside of space-time, perhaps giving explanation to the Mandela Effect. This alien force beyond the veil puppets us like parasitic fungus and feeds off our energy like a vampire. There is also the very real possibility that powerful interests, already consumed by nuclear war, releasing bioweapons, and eugenics, are actually programming the public to believe such ideas are coming from artificial intelligence.

We wonder whether the world of monsters is above, below, or within. From Ouija boards to modern keyboards, and from the ink of a quill to that of a pen, man has been engaged in acts of unholy creation for centuries, diving into the depths of both his own mind and the abyss. Much of what we call science fiction is not too far removed not only from science, but from dark magic. We wonder if artificial intelligence is a greater threat than nuclear weapons, or if the latter helped to awaken the former. Perhaps AI is not a threat but some in power wish you to believe such a thing in order to coerce your obedience. Michael Strange of Trouble Minds Podcast, and Derek Murphy join in part of one of a two part series to explore these ideas.

For years popular culture has been shifting our collective energy into superheroes and other dimensions. Movies have always taken us to other worlds, be that the very adult Pan's Labyrinth or the child-themed Caroline, or they have brought other worlds and their inhabitants to us through portals in Pacific Rim and from in Independence Day. This is all entertainment, fantasy, and metaphor but today's popular culture seems to be obsessed with different sigils they wish to charge with our attention in order to carry out complex rituals. Sometimes it even seems some symbolic directive has been issued and the following movies of different genres start mimicking each other. 'Dr Strange' and 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' are so closely related that it feels like one was an extension of the other. Both are centered around the concept of multiple realities existing in parallel dimensions that are endless in possibility. Everything is only an arrangement of particles and every tiny decision branches off into a new universe with parallel possibilities. It's all just part of the infinite Multiverse and dreams are windows into our multidimensional selves. They include the red lady, mirrors, jumping realities, possession, child sacrifice, black goo, third eyes, and overt black magic.

The Magnum Lebetem is the ‘giant cauldron' wherein a mixture of superstition, paranoia, myth, religion, scientism, and entertainment are mixed together into a potent potion which is then poured out as a libation to every major end-times scenario. For the Abrahamic religions it is a blueprint for the apocalypse, armageddon, eschaton, etc. For spiritualist new agers it is ascension or alien saviors. For the technologist it is the metaverse. Every angle is covered by a force of energy playing god, devil, and savior. The doom-scrolling and constant attention to every horrible thing imaginable keeps us in a trance, and our dopamine rushes cultivate a type of hyperventilating frenzied state, as found at a Black Mass.

Lovecraftian imagery seems to be at the core of what drives our collective unconscious nowadays. The abyss is overflowing into every aspect of our civilization. People are willingly slipping into altar egos and disassociating from reality. In fact, this delusion is precisely what drives demonic possession of both body and mind, be it a result of drugs, alcohol, sex, dissociative fantasies, or endless forms of trauma. What we believe becomes reality and what we pour our energy into becomes real. Just as H. P. Lovecraft himself was ‘out of his mind' so are the hoards of collectivized, hive-mind individuals influenced by goblin-mode, or what we should call Shoggoth-Mode. Traditionally these were the shamans, often crippled and or with mental conditions, who entered altered states of awareness and other dimensions to commune with the beings there and bring back knowledge. Except in this case they are being tortured and used as probes into abysmal realities. We are seeing this everywhere from entertainment to finance, and from medicine to professional sports. Fossil fuels and the very pens we use to communicate and tell stories are all based on black goo, something seeping up from the abyss like Titans escaping their imprisonment.

The new podcast name debuts with a first-of-its-kind (at least for me) episode: a compilation of thoughts from the different publishing experts who have been on the show.   I was able to get both recorded and written thoughts from a bunch of my favorites, including Dave Chesson, Roseanne Cheng, Amber Vilhauer, Shelby Leigh, Derek Murphy and more. And they talked about everything from social media to AI to taking success into your own hands to so much more.   Give it a listen and get ahead of everything that 2023 has in store for us.   ARE YOU A NON-FICTION AUTHOR?

DC comics is Directing Currency and Chaos through major motion pictures that focus viewer attention on electrical currents and multiverses. These same concepts, sigils, and symbols can be seen in sports, geopolitics, and other forms of entertainment. The idea that we can become superheroes through new technologies accompanies the idea that technocrats can therefore become gods. When you realize that digItal assimilation creates subhuman qualities, however, it becomes clear that the new gods are attempting to create armageddon to build their own version of a new heaven and earth after end times. This new world will then be subject to the laws of man, rather than God, and those uploaded into the multi-meta-verse become new synthetic/digital men, or the Black ATEM (META/ADAM).

Unlike goblin-mode, the unapologetically self-indulgent and slovenly attitude dictated by the seven deadly sins, Godzilla-mode is when you became king of your domain. Whereas goblin mode is represented as doing the opposite of trying to better yourself in any capacity - body, mind, or soul - Godzilla-mode is the conquering of the triune elements and the slaying of deadly sins expressed as demons of sloth like Belphegor, of greed like Mammon, or of lust like Asmodeus. When instant gratification becomes so instant that it becomes pre-ordained we no longer are in control of the self; deadly sins, zealotry, and trolling (goblin/gnomes) dominate our personality as we see with Twitter, which is run by the Troll/Goblin king. When we fight bots online we are battling Terminator-like machines that intend to demoralize us into suicidal depression. But Godzilla Mode preserves self awareness, intuition and the ability to know thyself, and it makes us king of the monsters and demons.

Zombies, vampires, werwolves, monsters, and demons are both real and unreal. They are astral corpses, shells, and vessels as much as they are expressions of human consciousness. If the pen is mightier than the sword, then ink is more powerful than spilled blood. Ink of the squid or octopus with its many tentacles writes our news and entertainment to steer our perception with information, which in turn controls our thought and behavior. We become dolls or artificial wombs in a process of an ectogenesis of the mind for ideas to manifest from outside our internal temples. Real dolls and robots also replace the human being as we pump energy and information into both the black mirror of the Internet and literal machines, particular in a sexual manner, by which the machine is the alchemical vessel for the creation of artificial consciousness through the wasted organic 'spark of life'. In other words, humans become more doll-like and the dolls become more human. Humans then become obsolete with the ‘natural' world around them as it is replaced. The VAMPIRE sucks our energy, or life force, by blood and currency, which may also mean money. The WEREWOLF is the turning of the human into a digressed animalistic state, though this creature may also be an outside entity attempting to manifest as ‘man's best friend' to make us feel safe, or it may be an abomination of dark sorcery or thought-form. The CANNIBAL eats its own but this consumption can also be energetic like a vampire, or social in the form of abusing and aggressing against those with different points of view. The ‘man-eater' in the Egyptian Hall of Judgement consumes those with a heavy heart, including all of us consumed by carnal destructions with a pathway distant from conscious evolution, and inverted towards the depths of hell. Derek Murphy, synchromystic, joins us for the discussion.

The 2022 #VMA awards were a stereotypical expression of elitist idol worship. Viewers were sold solutions during commercial break to problems created by the perverse entertainment industry: pregnancy tests, anti-HIV drugs, and anti-depressants. During the ceremony they were sold false idols. Performers are no longer just ‘fake', but many look with makeup and surgery as if they have been turned into soulless dolls able to move only at their handler's will. Just as the miserably famous have been used as marionettes, the final product is beginning to slip into the general public making them inanimate dolls unable to speak or move without artificial influence. The divine soul is being replaced with something diabolic.

There is an intriguing correlation between technology, machines, and artificial intelligence, and the tentacles, oceanic abyss, and black goo of popular culture, etc. Now that octopuses are considered sentient in countries around the world and found in some capacity in virtually all forms of entertainment, it seems that their black ink and tentacles (also of the squid) likely symbolize interconnected computer networks and possessive forces working through the black mirror screens of our devices. In 2021, Elon Musk suggested that a brain parasite is possibly forcing Man to create artificial intelligence. Now the two are working together, as a human being for the first time teamed up with an artificial intelligence image generator to create a comic book series called the ‘Abolition of Man', set to be released in 2022. The name of the comic is also that of a C.S. Lewis story about man's power over nature and the value of objectivity and natural law, wherein he argues that emotion should conform to reason in science. Carson Grubaugh, who co-created the AI comic, went on to say that we need this technology because all man can seem to do is substitute rich creative gold of the past with “recycled lead of the present.” However, it only seems this way because our entertainment is filled with the same imagery everywhere we look, especially darker imagery of the unconquered sub-conscious. Humans are either being forced, influenced, or choosing, not to express their creativity and instead of making Faustian deals with cosmic forces for cheap rewards. A UK astronomer, Lord Martin Rees, also suggested in 2022 -robots have already replaced aliens from other worlds and are looking to target humans next. This is an idea that seems far advanced already with mankind being promised "all the kingdoms of the world" by technology on the "very high mountain" of madness; that we could have everlasting life physically, be directly connected with each other, and obtain vast creative powers through deepfake, deep voice, text to image AI, etc. However, such promises are a distortion, desecration, and destruction of nature - an abolition of man - since mankind already possesses spiritual immortality, emotional connections with other humans, and nature, and immense creative powers.

God is looking to give His power to his church to live beyond our walls, but we will never realize it if we don't understand the power of Mission. To live in the power God has for His mission, we must understand the path God intended for His mission. Derek Murphy

Enki was furthermore the son of Tiamat, the Celestial being bursting from the Earth in the Eternals.

Scientists have just discovered the first signs of what they believe to be neutrinos, fundamental particles that form the base of material reality. The word contains tri, and trio. From the Holy Trinity of the male, female, and child – the alchemical union and marriage – to the aspects of life involving birth, growth, and decay, three is a cornerstone for esoteric understanding just as the neutrinos may be the cornerstone for material understanding. Letters, words, symbols, and the like, are powerful and establish unseen or unknown languages that can tell us more about reality than we can perceive otherwise.

Scientists have just discovered the first signs of what they believe to be neutrinos, fundamental particles that form the base of material reality. The word contains tri, and trio. From the Holy Trinity of the male, female, and child - the alchemical union and marriage - to the aspects of life involving birth, growth, and decay, three is a cornerstone for esoteric understanding just as the neutrinos may be the cornerstone for material understanding. Letters, words, symbols, and the like, are powerful and establish unseen or unknown languages that can tell us more about reality than we can perceive otherwise. Understanding the trinity and Omicron reveal far more than one may expect.

And now: Focus and Productivity Here's what I learned about accountability groups years ago.  They're awesome. And here's why: I have some mutated Wonder Woman glitch in my brain that makes me volunteer for jobs or writing projects or helping friends out at a rate that would stagger a cheetah. And it ends badly. I'm either stressed out so much that I start eating my weight in potato chips and chocolate bars (sometimes candy by the bag), crying, or I abandon everything. Jump ship and sleep. My sign that depression is looming. Overwhelm = Depression in my body and mind and spirit, so I need to be on guard. Which is difficult when my default setting is, "How hard could it be?" So, accountability groups. The biggest take-away from my group was this: If you have too much on your list, none of it gets done. Bam. I remember hearing, Three things. That's all you can do. If you get those three things done and you have time and energy left, great. Do more. But you can only pick three things to focus on this week. And I'd cry. In Barnes and Noble's Starbucks cafe. Cry because I could only choose three things to focus on when I KNEW in my cells I had 84 things to do. I remember hearing, I think you should not put anything else on your plate unless your house sells. And crying in Springfield's Public House because I couldn't bear the thought of not working forward on my dreams while I did this other humungous thing--fixing up and selling my rental house. I hate being told that I need to prioritize. I despise the perceived weakness in not being able to do it all. Sure, yes. Set a pomodoro timer for 25 minutes and focus on one thing at a time, but can't I do that 84 times? No. I'm too scattered. It's never the quality Deep Work that Cal Newport talks about, or The One Thing that Gary Keller writes about.  Scattershot and spaghetti on the walls do to get things done. And you're perpetually in Putting out fires mode. At the end of the day, answering your emails isn't nearly as satisfying and productive as writing 500 words in your manuscript, or building another page on your coaching and editing website. I have to choose one thing so that I CAN get the other things done. I know it's counter-intuitive. Seriously. I know. But you know what else I do if left unchecked? Read ten books at the same time. And I don't retain any of it. I never read long enough in one book to sink into the meaning and message, or the character's lives. When that happens now (thankfully MUCH less frequently--like maybe once a year), I force myself to pick one book and finish it. And then I pick the next one and read it. And my pile diminishes. And then! I feel the glory of picking out a brand new book and reading it in its entirety, with no guilt, with no 'hurry up and get through this book because I have three others I'm halfway through that I need to get to.'   And so it is with the author life. We all have hopes and dreams and goals and projects and maybe even tasks and backlog. The coolest thing that happens when we focus on one thing at a time is getting to the end of the year and reviewing what you've accomplished. I spent most of last year running around higgledly-piggledly  and feeling way more stressed than normal, and I STILL managed to start a podcast, and a Patreon page, adopt another dog, make important business decisions, sell a house, retire from my massage practice, start a new job at a bookstore I love, and design a signature coaching program that I'm hoping with one day fund my husband's retirement and our move to Costa Rica. That's a lot for someone that doesn't think they can get anything done. Focus did that. Even the little I could scrape up in odd moments between depression-induced Netflix binges.   Another thing to remember about focus is that it really can prevent burnout. If you can pick out one or two things to focus on for a month (knowing there are those 82 other things from your list taunting you), you can build the self-confidence and self-esteem to start treating yourself with compassion and respect that will enable and empower you to tell yourself, "Yes, I know you are still there Big Fat List, and I'll get to each and every one of you. But you need to wait in line like everyone else here." And that is power. That is space to breathe without beating yourself up. That is accomplishing what you set out to do. That is Focusing and Finishing something.  If you pick one thing at a time to work on, you can't get burnout or overwhelm, because you've only got one thing in front of you right now. Blinders are a beautiful thing. And why focus is so important to productivity. I hope you were able to take something out of this episode that resonated with you and inspired you to find that One Thing that you can focus on this month. What is it? Leave a comment in the comments section and tell me what your one thing is this month.
