I have extensive experience in my earlier years in the religion of the Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints. Known commonly as Mormonism.
I recognize that initially upon learning of some of the shady past of Mormonism, I was turned off from religion as a whole. I leaned for a while to complete athiesim.
This was the next logical step, as Mormonism indoctrinates its people to beleive that it is the one and only true religion. All others have fallacies. So once the foundation crumbles, it is hard to move to another faith or dogma, because those foundations were destroyed early on.
As most people who experience this type of cult indoctrination, mental abuse and then eventual escape, there are the accompanying stages of grief that follow. It is almost like clockwork, and as today the Mormon church is hemoraging members from its rolls, I see this process repeated over and over.
I have been free from cults and religion for many years now, and my perspective is changing. I would never again align myself with a cult or a dogmatic faith, however what I do see now is that spirituality is prevelant in our lives if we let it. There is soemthing to all of the teachings that I learned in my youth.
All religion has something that resonates to us on a deeper level. There is definitely something more to this life and this body than simply us being human animals, walking around in our meat suits, only to die and become worm food. There is something more.
Mormonism began in a strange and fascinating time. Looking to its origins is fascinating from an outside perspective. Inside the church, it is fed to the membership as a watered down version, with only the good and, often, boring aspects, being taught.
The true fascination comes with the real history, unfortunately, this history is damaging to the church and its doctrine for the beleivers.
Here however, we start with the premise that the church is a false religion, and that it has borrowed many of its tenents in whole or part from occult practices, the methodist religion, and various ideas of the 1800s.
Taking this into account makes for the now boring bland religion to actually become quite fascinating.
It is true that by accepting the origins of this religion is damaging for the membership today, and by watering down the original themes and practices of the church has allowed for a growing membership, until recently, if those original themes were still held upfront and clear to the public, the religion would never have been able to go mainstream. After all, the goal of many, if not most churches is to get money. This would not happen if they could not grow their membership base.
So today's Mormon church may seem like a Disney version of life, with it's bland church buildings scattered across the world, its origins are intriguing.
Joseph Smith, the founder and first president and "prophet" of this orginization is discussed today in the church as wholesome farmboy, with good morals and a zest for truth who came to find it through revelation. Subsequently he formed the church.
In reality he was so entrenched in the occult that he used this as a mechanism to not only recruit new membership, but also to control the membership population, placing him at the head of a cult like organization that left him in power. With money, women and control.
This is a much better story than the quaint farmboy story that is so boring it is embarrassing.
It is no surprise that he created this religion with these themes because he was raised on it. I doubt that he ever worked an honsest day in his life like the hard working farmboy myth promotes. Instead he was a con man, using occult practices to search for hidden treasure. Often conning others into paying him for his services. He even has a court record where he was fined for "glass looking", which is old timey talk for swindling.
His father was a freemason, which is notable, The entire Smith family was raised on these freemasonic themes, even his older brother was named Hyrum. Which is significant because of the history of that name within the masonic organization. (research Hiram Abiff)
Unto the end of his life, Joseph was a freemason. He was murdered, (Mormons will say Martyred) by other masons because he really pissed them off. Not because of his beleifs, as they will state in Mormon church lessons.
His final words before being shot down from a second story window "O Lord, My God..." which is the beginning of the masonic distress call, a precursor to "O Lord My God, is there no help for the widow's son?!"
He was trying to appeal to the other Masons in the mob who came to kill him. No luck, they shot his ass down.
So let's look first at the Mormon Temple ritual.
As a side note, it is significant to remember that there were so many offshoots of mainstream mormonism, not only after Smith's death, but during his reign. Mormonism glances over this fact, but it is significant. There was strife within the organization from the beginning, and although we don't hear much from these organizations today, they exist, have existed, and carry many of the same tenents that were established with the original organization in the early 1800s.
Back to the temple.
The first temple was built in Kirkland Ohio, but it was not the establishment that the temples are today. It seems that the temple rituals were a work in progress. My opinoin is that the current endowmnet ceremony, which is borrowed from freemasonry, was not yet a thing in the early stages of the religion. Probably because the majority of the leadership of the church and the male membership were also freemasons, they had their lodges where they could practice these rituals already. It was not until later that freemasonry was "forgotten" to the point that it is never talked about in church today.
I'm saying, and this is my personal opinion based on what I know and my experience, that the endowment ceremony of the mormon temple was not created because there was no need. That higher stage of enlightenment was already practiced regularly because of the fact that virtually all of the male membership was part of the masonic organization.
I feel the need to state that explicitly here because in my many years of studying this religion both from inside and outside the church organization, this fact is really never mentioned. So you heard it here.
Down the road, through "revelation", Smith and subsequent church presidents have established and evolved the endowment ceremony.
Brigham Young also stated that the church has the "true masonry", meaning they had recieved the correct form of the rituals and practices as they had been practiced, dating back to Solomon.
Of course this is a fallacy. And even today we can see inside of Masonry, there are other lodges and organizations that borrow, modify and create their own organizations. All stating that they are correct in their practice, but the turmoil continues.
I say that they all have the right to be who they want to be, and practice these things the way they want. Masonry differs in Mormonism is that there is no head of the organization to deliver the final say so. The way Mormonism adapted their version of freemasonry is by assuming they had God's direct guidance through a prophet, to practice those rituals with the authority of God himself.
It makes sense, even if it is untrue.
So the Mormon Endowmnet is a freeemasonic ritual. Start to finish. It has changed quite a lot over the years. There are videos online whre you can watch hidden cams record the ceremony. It might look creepy to those who have not been initiated, but it is a regular practice.
Of course the problem for mormons is that up until they are initiated in the endowment they have no idea what really happens in the Temples.
Everyday mormonism is so bland, that it is not terribly unlike any other church. Of course the doctrine is different in places, and the meeting schedule is more intense. But nothing like what happens in a secret organization like freemasonry is ever discussed. No rituals, no strange outfits, no blood oaths, nothing to clue the members in to what will happen once they go to the temple to be endowed.

Trolls and The Occult
I just watched a pretty enjoyable movie by Dreamworks. Trolls is actually a fun flick, with plenty of humor for adults to appreciate while the kids will be fascinated by the visuals, music and story line.
Now on to something a little darker.
Of course we know that Hollywood and those that control the media are pretty fond of encoding themes inside popular films and music. Children's movies are no exception. So when I watched this I had my eyes open for clues to any messages that might pop out to me.
First off, and almost without delay, the Pizzagate scandal popped into my head. The first scene is of the Bergens, a elite race of creatures who get joy from eating trolls. They do so in a ritual once a year that they have named Trolstice. Of course this is an easy one. It is almost blaring in the theme.
But why would such a dark theme be part of a childrens story? Granted, the movie ends well, and honestly, they do their best to make the film positive overall, even with the dark theme throughout.
But ritual eating of smaller creatures, the trolls, by the larger troll-like Bergens is so on par with the child abuse that we hear about from people like David Icke.
Going through some of the threads and blogs on what these ritualistic practices entail, it is hard to argue that this theme in the movie is meant to represent anything else.
This won't stop me from watching films like this, but having the knowledge in my back pocket when I watch is a helpful tool to really get what message is being pushed our way.

Waking up to reality
Waking up to reality is bittersweet. Once you are woke , there really is only one direction to go. One must continue to go forward, because going back to sleep is simply not an option.
I find that over the years, I was experiencing the stages of grief, which was hard enough on its own, but compiled with life's everyday challenges, it pushed me to the edge.
I survived it all of course . But now I've surpassed the grief, and now I'm on a steady diet of truth seeking behavior.
It makes life difficult at times because I'm forced to sift through every detail of daily life to stay functional.
Watching the news with others? I have to simply bite my tongue and let them absorb the lies because they are just not ready to hear the truth that lies beneath.
Discussing history is even more difficult. Knowing the truth is so obscured by propaganda makes it hard to simply accept what is printed in textbooks or pumped out on tv,'or portrayed in movies .
And on the topic of movies... it is so hard to not shout out when I'm watching a flick and I notice some symbolism encoded on the script, or the backdrop.
I wouldn't change it for anything, but being awake to the truth is hard.
For me it began with 9-11. I know that was the gateway for a lot of people. It's an easy one .
Of course 10 years ago I was convinced it was just a false flag done by the bush administration. Today of course I know that there is so much more.
If we are in fact much more than these meat wagons , and are in fact luminous beings in this constructed reality, we have the potential to truly understand the complexity of the world we are part of. It's an adventure worth taking.
I say that magic is real, and the occult nature of our belief systems is enough to start with. The truth really is out there. I will keep my mind open as I search for the completeness of it

Please check out THC Podcast
I've been a fan and listener of the Higherside Chats podcast for the last few years. It came at the right time for me. I had been searching for something to fill the void that was left by some of the shows that were popular at the time. For example, I loved Coast to Coast but it left me more frustrated than pleased most of the time. The hard questions weren't being asked, the commercial breaks were ruining the show. It was becoming painful.
And as my journey to become enlightened and awake to what is really going on has progressed, I needed more. A lot more. THC was coming along and growing with me , or so it felt. The shows were always right on time, the topics were the missing pieces.
Today's version of THC is evolved. Better than it has ever been: and I can only hope that it continues.
I tell people about this show. The people I know are waking up. The people who need to hear it. So if you are on this page and still haven't given THC a listen, please check it out. You won't regret it.

Alternative Reality
Lately I've been wondering if we might all just be in a manufactured reality like the matrix. Who is to say we are not? And How would we even know?
When concepts like the Mandela effect present themselves I have to ask the question. Because it's not just some novelty. I remember specifics that apparently never existed. And I've asked other people what they remember, and again they remember things that never existed.
Are we all wrong? Is our collective recollection just incorrect, or was there a glitch in the program that allowed some of us to retain memory of previous versions of the software. What really is real?
When you take into account some of the flat earth arguments that are taking the internet by storm, you have to ask , where the hell are we?
I don't know if I'm a flat earther. I don't know that the flat earth argument is valid. But I do respect the way they question the scientific dogma that has dominated our thinking for years. Space is certainly not what we have been told. But is our earth?
If it is in fact flat, then where is it ? What is above and what is below? Are we in a dome? Like a terrarium? Or is it more like a computer program with our conscience uploaded like an extreme video game?
Is there a creator? Or a god? There must be an architect or a conglomerate of engineers who put this together. So then is that a case for intelligent design?
Clearly the evolutionists do not have a case except for the weak arguments they have presented to date. And the academic community conveniently overlooks facts and archeology that contradicts their position.
So what the hell is our world? Is it a simulation? Or is it a fish bowl? Or is it a planet in space?
We know we have been lied to. But then what is the truth? I personally don't know. But spotting the lies.
What possibly could be happening is that we are indeed on a flat plane. But that plane is in fact under observation by higher powers who are responsible for the upkeep and the progress. Sometime in the last 20 years something happened. Our brains collectively have started waking up. People are asking the questions without getting the answers, but nevertheless the questions are getting asked.
And in these last 20 years a glitch happened. Maybe it was what 2012 was really about. Maybe that is why we have the Mandela effect so prevalent in our minds. Maybe we are given the scenarios in which we live but not in control. Maybe our minds are fighting back and rediscovering memories that should have remained hidden from us.
Maybe in death we will see what really is on the other side

Dinosaurs Could be BS
By now most of you have heard of the arguments for Dinosaurs being a complete and utter fabrication.
Which is fascinating.
Previously, I was in the camp with the supposed smart folks. The kind that looked at religion with snarky attitudes, and had a bit of arrogance towards anyone who said dinosaurs were not real.
And at the time is was easier. Science had, and has become the religion of many. Even though every day we are finding fault with scientific theory and the intellectuals who support it.
That is not to say that science as a concept is bad. But until a theory is proven, we really need to look harder at the evidence out there. Case in point, the big bang theory. Who really fucking knows what happened. They are guessing at best, and have no way to show proof for theories like that.
Dinosaurs fall in to that same camp. Sure there are bones, and sure they are discovering unknown fossils. But when you look at the circumstances of the digs that began the whole dino craze, too many questions are left unanswered.
Not to mention that the public has yet to see legit Dino bones. What we have is a mixture of man made casts, fake skulls and proposed species based on faulty findings. Toss in questionable dating methods for these discoveries and what we are left with is Hollywood creations and children's books with creatures and artists renditions of these animals.
WE absolutely do not know if they existed. We absolutely do not have the understanding to date to say for certain what kind of life dominated this planet before humans arrived.
I won't laugh at dinosaur deniers any more. I will keep an open mind. Because for me, I can honestly say that I just don't know.
