Dr. Daniel Amen Confirms What We Have Known All Along

The aptly-named Dr. Daniel G. Amen has shown via SPECT brain scans that Women have more active brains overall than men.  Most notably, there is more activity (as measured by blood flow) in the prefrontal cortex, which is known to be responsible for impulse control and executive functioning.  This can explain why Women tend to have greater strengths in empathy, intuition, collaboration, self-control, and appropriate concern.  As for their greater activity in the limbic areas, this can be spun by men as a negative (i.e. being "too emotional") but as Guru Rasa von Werder notes, it can also just as easily be interpreted as a greater capacity for love.

As Dr. Amen noted on the Dr. Oz show, these results strongly suggest that Women are superior leaders compared to men.  In other words, he is simply confirmimg what we already know about Women and men.

Amen to that!

Please Check Out William Bond's Brand New Blog

The great and prolific author William Bond has a brand new blog, The Return of Matriarchy, that just went live recently.  For those who don't know who he is, William has been an advocate for Matriarchy for at least three decades now, if not longer.  And his work has certainly been a great complement to that of his friend and partner in the Matriarchy movement, the legendary Guru Rasa von Werder.

The work of both Rasa and William has been frequently featured and referenced on this blog of mine to one degree or another since this blog started in 2016, having studied and followed them both (along with other authors and visionaries) since 2014.  And while they each take rather different approaches, they generally arrive at the same fundamental core that they are both seeking.

And in case you missed it, here is Rasa's own new/old blog that is also shared with William.  Both are definitely worth reading.  Even if you don't agree with them 100% on everything (after all, even they occasionally disagree with each other too, as do I at times), one cannot deny that there is a great wealth of knowledge to be learned from both of them, and we all need to see the forest for the trees. 

How Long Do We Have To Save The Planet? (Spoiler Alert: Not Very!)

According to the world's leading scientists who are now virtually unanimous about this:  time is running out to save the planet from the converging catastrophes (especially climate change) threatening it's (and our own) very survival.  We have at most eleven years left to fix climate change specifically, to say nothing of all the other crises (deforeststion, desertification, pollution, etc.) which brings us to 2030, most likely a very pivotal year.

I don’t know about you, the readers, but I really do NOT trust men to save this world.  The past 7000 years or so is evidence enough.  Thus, as per my prediction that I made several years ago, Women would need to take over by 2030 at the latest if we are to have any hope at all.

Of course, I am specifically talking about a political takeover, particularly in the Western world.  That needs to happen as soon as possible.  The spiritual side of things, on the other hand, will likely take several generations to complete, as Guru Rasa von Werder has noted before.   Not perfect, of course, but if we make the perfect the enemy of the good, we ultimately end up with neither.

What better time than now?

In Case You Missed It, Rasa and William's New Blog Is Back In Business

The legendary Guru Rasa von Werder is back, with a newly-resurrected blog that she shares with author William Bond.  The blog itself is many years old, though it has essentially lie fallow since 2017 and has been brought back to life earlier this year, and especially in the past week or so.  The link to the blog can be found here, and please check it out.  Enjoy!

NOTE:  For technical reasons, it is best to use Firefox or some other browser other than Google Chrome.  Also, while I know both Rasa and William personally, I should note that their blog is not directly affiliated with mine, and opinions discussed on their blog are not necessarily those of mine (and vice-versa).

The Secret Weapons Of The Antichrist

The term "Antichrist" has a variety of meanings in various contexts, both secular and religious and all in between, but here we shall focus on the third and final Antichrist as predicted by Nostradamus and others.  The first was Napoleon, the second was Hitler, and the third has yet to come.  And as much as I loathe Trump, I do not think he quite fits the bill (yet at least).  I fear he is just the warmup for the real one yet to come.

We know the Antichrist must hail from the male persuasion, of course, but what other criteria must he fulfill?  The number 666 (or is it 616, according to an older manuscript?) must translate to his name numerologically, and "Donald Johann Drumpf" (Trump's name in German) does have six letters each, but that may not be the most crucial aspect.  No, to really be in the same rarefied echelon as Napoleon and Hitler, I believe he must also possess at least two other criteria as well.  Both of which can be seen as the secret weapons of the Antichrist, as it were.

The first is Monetary Sovereignty.  Or Modern Monetary Theory, or Greenbacking, or Chartalism, or whatever else you want to call it.  What has often been conveniently forgotten by mainstream historians is that Hitler had effectively saved the German economy from utter ruin by simply printing the money needed to do so, bypassing the banks, right out of the Treasury.  And his main inspiration in that regard was none other than President Abraham Lincoln.  Of course, Hitler's version was ultimately tainted by his own unmitigated evil and perfidy, and there were indeed plenty of strings attached to this supposedly "free" money.  The point is, though, it worked as one of his two most important tools for nearly succeeding in world domination, which set him and his Nazi Germany apart from all of the other fascist leaders and their totalitarian regimes at that time.

The second is Matriarchy.  Or rather, co-opting just enough of it to use as a weapon for evil, while maintaining enough patriarchy to remain in power.  While Nazi Germany is often viewed as purely patriarchal, that was not entirely the case.  At least one of their philosophers was an advocate of Matriarchy, for example.  The Vril Society, one of the secret societies to which Hitler belonged, also advocated it to one degree or another.  And in the early years of the Nazi regime, they really promoted the "cult of motherhood" as a matter of public policy rather than the usual mere lip service.  As twisted and inconsistent and gender-appropriating and coercive it was, they at least recognized that deep down all societies are Matriarchal at base, and that patriarchy is simply a very bad way of organizing Matriarchy.  That said, like they did with Monetary Sovereignty, they used the aspects of Matriarchy that they picked and chose to use (within the confines of patriarchy) for evil rather than good.

Thus, the third and final Antichrist will ultimately use both of these as weapons to consolidate his rule over the masses.  So beware, everyone.  And in the meantime, we can in fact pre-empt any future Antichrist, or any totalitarian regime for that matter, by beating them to it and implementing real Monetary Sovereignty and Matriarchy first, and using them for good before they fall into the hands of evil.  Yesterday.

What better time than now?

Playing The Long Game

There is a group known as The Dreaming Tree of Life Sisterhood that I tend to both agree and disagree with in various ways.  And given the crossroads that humanity is currently at right now, hashing out these differences could not be any more timely.

On their website, which the reader is free to peruse in detail, they note that patriarchy is the root of all evil, that system is destroyed our planet, and must be stopped.  And that the forces of evil (however defined) will do anything to maintain that system.  No argument from me there.  However, I do have a few points of contention with what they believe, which are important so we do not throw out the proverbial baby with the bathwater. 

First of all, the broader New Age Movement does not have to be evil.  Regardless of its partial Theosophical origins, it is currently a decentralized, leaderless movement.  Or more accurately, it is more than one movement.  Discernment, not discarding it completely, is what is really in order.

Second, not all spiritual beings are necessarily evil either.  Some are, of course, and often pose as good (the oldest trick in the book), but again, that calls for discernment, not wholesale rejection.  And the idea that humanity was created and genetically engineered by evil spiritual entities for the purpose of destroying all Earth-Life is questionable at best.

Third, as Buckminster Fuller (and Nikola Tesla) would be spinning in his grave about now, technology, however advanced, does not have to be evil either.  It all depends on how it is used, how it is designed, and who controls it.  Technology merely for technology's sake is stupid and wasteful--granted.   Appropriate technology, however advanced, in the right hands has the power to solve so many problems.  Going full Neo-Luddite, on the other hand, will not solve anything, and will simply lock us into the current feedback loop from the failed and destructive technologies of the past.  Nor will it solve the problem of patriarchy either--keep in mind the Amish are about as patriarchal as one could get, for example, as a quick Google search will show.

Fourth, neither patriarchy nor capitalism can be defeated by austerity (ecological or otherwise) or retreatism, as that strategy will backfire mightily and get us permanently stuck in a bad place and still end up destroying the planet.  The only way to defeat them both is to give them the one thing they cannot survive for very long--ABUNDANCE.  Capitalism requires scarcity to function, that's why they manufacture so much artificial scarcity.  And capitalism must die since it is also unsustainably based of growth for the sake of growth, the ideology of the cancer cell which evenutally kills its host.  And patriarchy is the primary protection racket used to prop up the Ponzi scheme of capitalism.

Fifth, while Women do need to take over in order to save the planet and all of its inhabitants, the "power over" paradigm needs to be jettisoned and replaced with the "power within", "power to", and "power with and through" paradigms.  Thus, revoking individual civil rights from either men or Women needs to be out of the question, as is punishing anyone for thoughtcrimes or victimless crimes of any kind.  How can it even be enforced without the "power over" paradigm to prop up such "carceral feminism"?  It simply does not compute. 

Yes, individuals do have natural and inalienable rights.  There, I said it.  That is not a patriarchal concept, simply fact.  And thus what Riane Eisler calls the "dominator" model of society needs to be replaced with the "partnership" model.

And finally, integration of Women into the current system (or at least the appearance of such) at first is not necessarily a bad thing in itself, and I believe it is in fact a prerequisite for Women taking it over and destroying it from within and ultimately replacing it with Matriarchy.  Fighting patriarchal capitalism from the inside is infinitely more effective than fighting from the outside, especially since we have already established that starving the beast via austerity will backfire.  As for such integration and taking over being what the forces of evil really want, keep in mind that their supposed plan is failing in terms of their most crucial plank of all: nuclear power.  The nuclear renaissance that the evil spiritual hierarchy that the Dreaming Tree of Life Sisterhood speaks of simply has not materialized, and is now in terminal decline due to increasing cost, fear of another Chernobyl or Fukushima, cheap natural gas, and especially due to the rapidly falling cost and rising cost-effectiveness of renewables like solar, wind, hydro, wave/tidal, and geothermal, and even algae fuels.  Thus, the biggest litmus test--support of nuclear power--fails miserably in recent years, which only further proves that patriarchy is indeed in its final death throes, Goddess willing.

As for nuclear power being necessary to thwart climate change, it is of course too little too late for that to work. To replace all fossil fuels with nuclear power, we would need to build and additional 14,000 such power plants worldwide, each taking 10-15 years to build and requiring a LOT of money, resources, and yes, fossil fuel energy to build and operate.  The time to do that was decades ago, and that window has since closed forever.  It is bascially a zero-sum game between renewables and nuclear nuclear in terms of resources and opportunity costs, and at this juncture we need to focus it all on renewables, efficiency, and conservation if we want to have a chance to save the planet.  Nuclear has basically gone from once being "too cheap to meter" to now being too slow and expensive to matter.

In other words, in order to defeat patriarchy for good, we really need to play the long game, one that Women are currently winning.  And Goddess willing, they will prevail--if they don't end up unwittingly snatching defeat from the jaws of victory due to ideological purism, of course.

Happy Mother's Day!

First, I would like to wish a Happy Mother's Day to all of the wonderful Mothers out there.  You are, after all, literally the reason why the human race even exists at all, despite the fact that the work you do is grossly undervalued in so many way by our twisted capitalistic and patriarchal society.  In other words, your beautiful feminine energy is essentially what keeps the rest of us alive.  

Thank you.

I would also like to note and lament how, for all the shallow platitudes America likes to throw around about "Mothers and apple pie", we are still a nation that perpetually continues to screw over Mothers and pregnant Women in so many ways.  Recently, Guru Rasa von Werder shared a poignant and in-depth article from Vox with us that illustrates the various ways in which that is true.  This article should be food for thought indeed.  Our patriarchal and capitalistic society clearly has a "cult of motherhood", in which the "ideal" of motherhood is so highly vaunted, worshipped even, but in practice actual Mothers themselves get about as much genuine respect as Rodney Dangerfield.  Both during and after pregnancy, so many Mothers are routinely discriminated against, overworked, underpaid, and even outright criminalized in many cases.  And meanwhile, there is to this day a powerful faction of mostly male politicians that is doing everything in their power to deny Women their right to choose whether or not to get (or stay) pregnant in the first place.  Indeed, the rank hypocrisy of our misogynistic and pharisaical system is so thick you could cut it with a knife.

Meanwhile, old Buckminster Fuller (who, not coincidentally, believed that Women should rule the world) must be spinning in his grave right now.  With today's technology and innovation, there is literally no legitimate reason why we as a society need "everybody and their mother" (literally!) to "work for a living" unless they really wanted to.  There are more than enough resources in the world for everyone on this planet to live like a millionaire, but the greedy oligarchs who control such resources apparently don't want to share.  Combined with the outdated scarcity mentality that men tend to favor (as opposed to the abundance mentality that Women tend to favor), those same oligarchs have also done everything in their power to sabotage any alternatives (i.e. free and renewable energy) to their own evil system that they force upon the rest of us.  So why make them even richer?

Additionally, just as we should "dispense with the absolutely specious notion that everybody needs to earn a living" (in Bucky's words), so too should we jettison the equally specious and outdated idea that everybody must procreate as though it were a civic duty.  Not only does today's technology make much useful human labor redundant, but the world is grossly overpopulated and will only get more so in the coming decades, and despite the abundance of the world's resources we are chewing through them like there is no tomorrow while destroying the planet.   And the main cause of that overpopulation is--wait for it--MEN.  Because they are the ones who, both historically and today, force, coerce, deceive, and/or brainwash Women to have kids that they otherwise would not want or are not yet ready for.  Men like to "get 'em while they're young" and then use them as serial breeding slaves, essentially, and all the euphemisms in the world do not change that fact.   It is really no coincidence that the two most effective (and ethical) ways to reduce overpopulation and excessively high birthrates are 1) female empowerment and 2) poverty reduction, while everything else is a mere sideshow.  Because when Women actually have a free and genuine choice on when or whether or not to reproduce, they usually make the right choices overall.  After all, they are the ones who have the most "skin in the game".  So let the planetary healing begin!
