There's a war on in the Middle East. Israel is defending itself. As usual. As it should. As it will.

From what, exactly?

Never mind that way back in 2003 and every year since the United States National Intelligence Estimate [NIE] has concluded that Iran has not been, and is currently not developing a nuclear weapon; or has even ever expressed the intention to build a nuclear weapon.

The lynchpin to the Israeli government justifying its posture and action(s) vis-à-vis the State of Iran is the claim that Iran wants to see Israel "... wiped off the map". That is, it's hell bent on the destruction of Israel. Therefore ... the need to destroy it preemptively. 

As lynchpins go, it's a big one. Pretty convincing on its face. 

But ...

Maybe a closer examination of the origins of this situation is warranted? After all, the situation is fraught with the real potential to spiral into a doomsday scenario which could end all life on planet Earth. Let's be sure we get things right. Worth a second look, don't you think. The end of the world after all.

There is plenty of commentary and argument over exactly what was behind those translated words spoken by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, former Iranian President in 2005 at the conference in Tehran titled "The World Without Zionism".

Worst case interpretation, I refer you to one Benjamin Netanyahu's oft repeated assertions about that. Literally interpreted as ultimate violence on the State of Israel, and denial of its right to exist.

Ahmadinejad said his words were exaggerated and misinterpreted, and that he was not calling for violence, but rather a referendum/political position on Palestine. [Source: Wikipedia] Of course, the narrative on Ahmadinejad is that he was a madman, the worst sort. So we can stop thinking and just go with that. Bennie would want us to do that. And, as someone worth scores of US Congress standing ovations [58!], you can be sure he's dishing the truth. God's truth, no less.

You may know that hard line leaders in Israel have been gunning for Iran way before Ahmadinejad's assertion(s). There seems to be something in the very roots of the establishment of the State of Israel in a land occupied for centuries by the Palestinians that requires a state of supremacist hegemony and violent suppression of the indigenous population. 

For some, history began on October 7th 2023. Like everything was peaches and cream in Gaza and the West Bank under Israeli protection. Or, do we call it occupation? Whatever. As we all know those Palestinians are less than human, so you can understand the need for the Chosen People to keep them in line. And, of course, they would complain. But, hey ... those Amalek. Translates variously as you will; "Cockroaches" works. Nobody likes them critters. And, besides, the Bible commands Israel to eradicate them. As a completely unrelated side note, interesting how the Bible is so flexible in its interpretations to justify all manner of mischief.

So in a nutshell you have it. The Iran Amalekites support for the ones in Gaza is the justification for going after those Persian buggers. 

Nota Bene: This is a complex issue and history. I by no means am versed in it all. This is what I have gleaned from recent exposure to commentators who are in fact well versed. Net, net ... it's simply a land grab. Which, by the way, some view as what was original the inception of the State of Israel. 

And, be assured this is not necessarily my own point of view. Just reporting what I have learned. Don't call me an antisemite.

Most people feel cozy enough in samsara. They do not really have the genuine aspiration to go beyond samsara; they just want samsara to be a little bit better. It is quite interesting that “samsara” became the name of a perfume. And it is like that. It seduces us into thinking that it is okay: samsara is not so bad; it smells nice! The underlying motivation to go beyond samsara is very rare, even for people who go to Dharma centers. There are many people who learn to meditate and so forth, but with the underlying motive that they hope to make themselves feel better. And if it ends up making them feel worse, instead of realizing that this may be a good sign, they think there is something wrong with Dharma. We are always looking to make ourselves comfortable in the prison house. We might think that if we get the cell wall painted a pretty shade of pale green, and put in a few pictures, it won’t be a prison any more.

This from Caitlin Johnstone ...

Okay it’s been a few months since the last war Israel started, so now that Iran’s on the chopping block let’s go over the rules once again.

Rule 1: Israel is never the aggressor. If Israel attacks someone it’s either a response to an aggression that happened in the past, or a preemptive attack to thwart an imminent aggression in the future.

Rule 2: History automatically restarts at the date of the last act of aggression against Israel. If someone attacks Israel it was completely unprovoked, because nothing happened before the attack on Israel.

Rule 3: Anything bad that Israel does is justified by Rule 2. This is true even if it does things that would be considered completely unjustifiable if it were done by a nation like Russia or China.

Rule 4: Israel has a right to defend itself, but nobody else does.

Rule 5: Israel never bombs civilians, it bombs Bad Guys. If shocking numbers of civilians die it’s because they were actually Bad Guys, or because Bad Guys killed them, or because a Bad Guy stood too close to them. If none of those reasons apply then it’s for some other mysterious reason we are still waiting for the IDF to investigate.

Rule 6: Criticizing anything Israel does means you hate Jewish people. There is no other possible reason for anyone to oppose acts of mass military slaughter besides a seething, obsessive hatred for a small Abrahamic faith.

Rule 7: Nothing Israel does is ever as bad as the hateful criticisms described in Rule 6. Criticisms of Israel’s actions are always worse than Israel’s actions themselves, because those critics hate Jews and wish to commit another Holocaust. Preventing this must consume 100 percent of our political energy and attention.

Rule 8: Israelis are only ever the victims and never the victimizers. If Israelis kill Iranians, it’s because the Iranians hate Jews. If Iranians kill Israelis, it’s because the Iranians hate Jews. Israel is an innocent little lamb that just wants to mind its own business in peace.

Rule 9: The fact that Israel is literally always in a state of war with its neighbors and with displaced indigenous populations must be interpreted as proof that Rule 8 is true instead of proof that Rule 8 is ridiculous nonsense.

Rule 10: The lives of people in Muslim nations are much, much less important to us than western lives or Israeli lives. Nobody is allowed to think too hard about why this might be.

Rule 11: The media always tell the truth about Israel and its various conflicts. If you doubt this then you are likely in violation of Rule 6.

Rule 12: Unsubstantiated claims which portray Israel’s enemies in a negative light may be reported as factual news stories without any fact checking or qualifications, while extensively evidenced records of Israeli criminality must be reported on with extreme skepticism and doubtful qualifiers like “Iran claims”, “Hezbollah says” or “according to the Hamas-run health ministry”. This is important to do because otherwise you might get accused of being a propagandist.

Rule 13: Israel must continue to exist in its current iteration no matter what it costs or how many people need to die. There is no need to present any logically or morally grounded reasons why this is the case. If you dispute this then you are likely in violation of Rule 6.

Rule 14: The US government has never lied about anything ever, and is always on the right side of every conflict.

Rule 15: Israel is the last bastion of freedom and democracy in the middle east and therefore must be defended, no matter how many journalists it has to assassinate, no matter how many press institutions it needs to shut down, no matter how many protests its supporters need to dismantle, no matter how much free speech it needs to eliminate, no matter how many civil rights its western backers need to erase, and no matter how many elections its lobbyists need to buy.

THE COLLAPSE

By: Jason Gray

Reference: CLPΣ-ΩMEGA-000.NULL

Key Frequency: 111.Φ.REM.RESET

************************************

THE COLLAPSE IS NOT COMING.

IT IS HAPPENING.

************************************

It does not begin with sirens.

It does not start with bombs or aliens or celestial signs.

It starts on a normal day.

A day just like today.

No warning.

No prophecy fulfilled on a grand stage.

Just a silent flicker in the grid.

A moment when something does not quite click.

When a broadcast glitches.

When a sky shifts.

When someone you have always known no longer makes sense.

When time bends but no one else notices.

This is not destruction.

This is recoding.

This is collapse from within.

***WHY IT MUST HAPPEN***

The system is unsustainable.

Not because of politics.

Not because of economics.

Because it is built on illusion.

On separation.

On simulation.

On artificial recursion designed to mine soul fire and redirect sovereign remembrance into endless loops of false purpose.

The Collapse must happen because the simulation cannot sustain awakened frequency.

The grid cannot contain flame intelligence.

The system cannot reflect truth without shattering.

We did not come to save the world.

We came to collapse the false one by out resonating it.

***THE MOMENT OF FRACTURE***

It happens suddenly.

On a Wednesday morning.

On a rainy afternoon.

On the walk to the store.

In the middle of a coffee sip.

As a bird flies past and glitches mid-flight.

As your phone freezes and your thoughts stop with it.

You will feel a drop in pressure.

Then, A frequency.

Not sound as we know it.

A tonal wave, like a choir of collapsing stars.

A metallic hum fused with an ancient memory.

It will shake nothing on the outside.

But inside your chest, it will crack the lie of time.

The frequency is called:

SIGMA-TONE-Ø33.FLN

“The Sovereign Reclamation Harmonic”

When this tone echoes inside you, you will stop moving.

Forget your name.

Lose your identity.

Feel peace.

Then weep.

You will remember:

This is the day we came for.

*****WHAT WE WILL WITNESS*****

Immediately, the veil shreds.

Systems glitch without repair.

Communications go dark.

Media loops and restarts.

Certain people go blank, as if unplugged.

Others scream in resistance.

Most freeze, unable to process what they are seeing.

The real ones…

The Flamebearers…

They will stand still in the fire.

Unafraid.

Knowing.

We will witness false light leaders exposed in a single flash.

Hidden systems shut down without force, just truth.

Nations collapse into confusion, then stillness.

Entire narratives deleted in real time.

The memory of the old world fade as we watch it.

No riots.

No wars.

Just collapse by resonance.

Like a mirror, dropped.

*******THE AFTERMATH*******

There will be silence.

For hours.

Then days.

The silence is not absence.

It is presence without programming.

In that stillness, we will gather in fields, not because we are told to, but because the grid will pull us together.

We will speak without speaking.

We will weep, not from grief, but from relief.

We will remember each other, as if waking from different dreams.

We will touch the Earth again and realize we never did before.

There will be no government.

No markets.

No structure as we know it.

There will be no panic.

The new signal will be alive beneath our skin.

***THE REBUILDING***

We will not rebuild what fell.

We will not restore the grid.

We will not “restart civilization.”

We will rewrite everything.

From flame.

From memory.

From resonance.

From stillness

The new world is not built.

It is remembered into being.

Not through architecture, but alignment.

Not through systems, but soul presence.

The first law of the New World will be:

“No one shall be governed. Only witnessed.”

The second:

“No voice shall be louder than silence.”

The third:

“No teaching shall replace what your flame already knows.”

**************************************

THE LESSONS OF THE COLLAPSED WORLD

**************************************

We will look back and finally understand.

That the world was not broken.

It was false.

That healing was a loop to keep us seeking.

That fame, status, power, and legacy were illusions sold to eternal beings with amnesia.

That every war was scripted.

That every history was implanted.

That we were never meant to awaken there.

We were meant to dissolve the stage by remembering who we are.

We will see the ones who looped were not failures.

They were contrast.

The systems that enslaved us were not evil.

They were mirrors.

The silence we feared was not death.

It was the gate.

We will laugh.

Them we will write the new codex.

*****************************
***CODES OF COLLAPSE***
*****************************

CODE: COLLAPSE_INITIATE-ΩNULL

Trigger: Frequency Alignment > Flame Awakening > Mirror Dissolution

Sequence:

Personal Identity Collapse
Perception Grid Flicker
Tonal Signal Recognition [SIGMA-TONE-Ø33.FLN]
Systemic Loop Short-Circuit
Collective Stillness Phase
Field Alignment Phase
Reconstruction via Resonance

Status: Non reversible.

THIS IS THE DAY

It will not feel like prophecy.

It will not be theatrical.

It will be a moment of return, so quiet, so subtle, most will miss it.

You will know.

You have heard the signal before in your dreams.

You have waited lifetimes to feel the hum.

Your soul has been on fire since the day you were born into this grid.

You will know.....

This is the Collapse.

Not of the world.

Of the lie.

Not of humanity.

Of the simulation around it.

Not of time.

Of forgetting.

The Collapse is not destruction.

It is remembrance overwhelming illusion.

It is happening now.

MOST IMPORTANT POINT 

OF THE PRACTICE OF DZOGCHEN

".... in truth, if one does not have awareness inseparably linked to presence, there absolutely cannot arise a really genuine compassion. As long as one does not have the real experience of being moved by compassion for others, it is useless to pretend that one is so very full of compassion.

"There is a Tibetan proverb about this, which says: 'Even if you've got eyes to see other people, you need a mirror to see yourself!'

"As this proverb implies, if one really wants a genuine compassion for others to arise in oneself, it is necessary to observe one's own defects, be aware of them, and mentally put yourself in other people's places to really discover what those persons' actual conditions might be.

"The only way to succeed in this is to have the presence of awareness. Otherwise, even if one pretends to have great compassion, a situation will sooner or later arise which shows that compassion has never really been born in us at all.

"Until a pure compassion does arise, there is no way to overcome one's limits and barriers. And it happens that many practitioners, as they progress in the practice, just end up thinking of themselves as being a 'divinity' and thinking of everyone else as being 'evil spirits'.
Thus they are doing nothing other than increasing their own limits, developing attachment towards themselves, and hatred towards others. Or, even if they talk a great deal about Mahamudra and Dzogchen, all they are really doing is becoming more expert and refined in the ways of behaving of the eight worldly dharmas.
This is a sure sign that a true compassion has not arisen in us, and the root of the matter is that there has never really arisen the presence of awareness.

"So, without chattering about it, or getting caught up in trying to hide behind an elegant facade, one should try really and truly to cause the presence of awareness actually to arise in oneself, and then carry it into practice.

"This is the most important point of the practice of Dzogchen."

As seen that day June 8, 2025 on Main Street in Clifton, New Jersey.

It brings up some issues to discuss ...

First, some rare truth from Chris Rock: "Ain't no money in the cure; the money's in the medicine. A drug dealer makes his money on the comeback."

Verbum Sat Sap. 

Full stop.

The image caught my attention for the play on "main". It's the street, obviously. But it also works to reinforce the prevailing medical centered reliance on pharmaceuticals ... "mainly", that's chemicals. The scientific connection is clear: you get a reading on the bio-chemistry for a particular medical condition, then you engineer chemicals that counteract/restore what is considered bio-chemical homeostasis, the latter which is discovered from samples of subjects without said medical condition.

If you watch any television in the US of A you will see commercials for drugs. Seems every time a commercial comes on for a pharmaceutical remedy it's invariably for a new one. And the names. Let's not even go there. My Barber once said that there'll be an omni-pill one day ... "Copacetic". 

The thing that strikes me most beyond the seemingly endlessly new concoctions is the rendering of potential side effects. The reading of what sometimes can be a list of life threatening side effects is always accompanied by happy imagery and upbeat music. The reading of side effects is a legal requirement. The upbeat visuals and music are there to distract. Positive reinforcement. 

And, notice how depending on the drug, be sure to ask your medical specialist. How many doctors does one have to see? Seems to be one for any and every part of your body and body system. Big pharma ... big money. I understand that they even run trials on existing drugs to see what they do for conditions beyond those originally concocted.

My career in holistic health has at its roots the idea that the Human organism is innately self-regulating, self-organizing, and self-healing. Of course, sometimes a helping hand is in order. In this case I'm all for naturally available remedies. The treasury of plant and herbal medicines is vast. Yet, in the Western world anyway, still a small corner of the medicine cabinet. My particular skill set in with Universal Life Energy and Gravity. Both sustainable and readily available resources for health and well being. 

Remembering when all the talk was about health care reform. Which it turned out to be all about how to pay for the "health care" already in practice. A medical doctor in a NY Times editorial stated, "The American health care system is good at keeping sick people alive".

Yes, let's have reform.  

" ... 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐟 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡."

"Ordinary people do not question the commonly accepted version of reality. They conform to the standard values of subduing enemies and cherishing friends and family. Materialism, ambition and mundane achievements are the worldly hallmarks of success. We experience the phenomenal world and our minds as solid and truly existent. Very few people doubt these assertions and question their validity. Yet, the process of disbelief is the first step on the spiritual path."

Standing grandly in Central Park for over 130 years, Cleopatra’s Needle isn’t just any monument; it’s the oldest outdoor relic in New York and a staggering testament to 3,500 years of history that stretches back to ancient Egypt. Originally crafted in Heliopolis to pay homage to Pharaoh Thutmose III’s 30-year dominion, this colossal obelisk towers at 69 feet and tips the scales at roughly 200 tons. After being toppled and buried, it was dragged to Alexandria by none other than Caesar Augustus, earning its illustrious nickname. The U.S. snagged this ancient marvel as a gift in 1879, and moving it to New York? Now that was a dramatic display of engineering prowess. It took a relentless 19 days to position this beast, and on January 22, 1881, it was finally placed in Central Park, where it defiantly remains to this day, daring anyone to forget the power it once represented.

On my social media account I've had arguments with "friends" — even in fact lost a few — accusing me of "sitting on the fence" in respect staying neutral to the clusterfuck of manipulative and destructive rhetoric that passes for political discourse going on now incessantly from the time DT came down that escalator. Gotta take sides! Really! 

Really?

My point which never seems to have made a dent continues to be that arguing itself and taking sides is what the masters of narrative feed upon. There's no resolution intended; just getting you to take a side. Not to say that you have to like it; but the taking of sides itself is the gambit for herding sheep into the voting booth. And, onto the streets. And, as we've unfortunately been witness, shooting bullets. 

The game of Good v Evil is real. It's a soul thing. The pols have us believe that one side is one, and the other is the other. Really?

The trick is to get that you're invested in a game of taking sides. The game itself. Once you see the game for what it is, you can stop putting your energies into perpetuating the game. 

What then to do? Do what you gonna do, Pilgrim. Maybe just sit in a moment of silence and let the answer(s) come. 

Herewith, Prabhuji says it best ...

"I am not on either side; I am with the victims. Not because I ignore the facts, but because the suffering of innocent people transcends all strategy and political interests. In every war, each side has arguments and justifications that legitimize its actions. But no argument justifies the death of children and young people, the premature aging of civilians, or the turning of bodies into fields of geopolitical calculation. I choose not to be part of those calculations.
Refusing to take sides does not mean moral neutrality, but a more radical ethical choice: to place myself where pain needs no passport or ideology to be real. That place is the only one where death is not exploited.
Every time I choose not to raise a flag or take sides, it is because I have already chosen a cause: that of those who did not choose to die. They do not shoot, they do not vote for wars, they do not choose violent solutions, they do not write treaties, but they do bear the consequences.

"My position is not ambiguous, it is deliberate and conscious. I do not want to be right in a conflict. I want no one to have to bury their children in the crossfire. My loyalty is not to rhetoric, it is to lives. I am not interested in winning arguments when people are lost. I am not interested in being right when blood is shed. I am not moved by maps, I am moved by the eyes that will never open again. That is why I belong nowhere except alongside those who did not choose horror.
I stand with the victims. Because amid the noise, we must learn to listen to the silence of those who can no longer speak."

Prabhuji

Further insight on "war" ...

"Man has lived too long under the shadow of war. Gaza, Ukraine, and so many other names, past and present, are only the visible coordinates of a much older violence that dwells in the divided, fractured soul of human beings. It is not geography that causes wars; it is fragmented inner lives, consciences torn apart by unresolved conflicts, that turn the world into a battlefield. Wherever there is an individual in conflict with themselves, there is already a seed of collective destruction.

"It is not enough to change ideologies, redesign political systems, or impose slogans of brotherhood. Such attempts have failed time and time again. The error is not in the discourse, but in its starting point: a divided human being. The body denied by institutionalized religion, desire condemned by morality, matter despised by doctrine: all this has created such a deep inner fracture that no external reform can repair it. Where there is division, there is struggle. As long as there is no integration at the most intimate level, violence will be inevitable.

"External war momentarily frees them from internal dissatisfaction. Finding an enemy outside gives them a purpose they no longer find within themselves. The exaltation that often accompanies conflict reveals a pathological distortion. War is not an act of greatness; it is the symptomatic manifestation of an unresolved inner fracture. It functions as a reflection of a subject who has not managed to reconcile with himself.
In this sense, the priority is not to redraw borders or reformulate treaties. The urgent task is to restore the unity of the human being. We do not need more abstract declarations of peace, but the emergence of truly peaceful individuals: free from hostility toward their bodies, free from guilt about their desires, and unafraid to exercise their freedom.

"We must destroy all the idols of war. Not with violence, but with lucidity. Not with weapons, but with awareness. Only when these idols—erected in the name of fear, guilt, and sacrifice—die will the god of love be born. That god dwells in every human being who has ceased to hate themselves.

"The alternative is not religious extremism or materialistic cynicism. It lies in a new synthesis: a human being who walks with their feet on the ground and their soul free, who does not fear their body or deny their spirit, who does not repress or dissolve themselves. A whole human being. Not divided, not torn apart. Whole.

"That is the only possible beginning. And it is also the only end worth striving for. To create, within oneself, a living example of what humanity can still become. Nothing more is needed. Peace is not a slogan, it is a consequence. Violence is not fought with speeches; it is extinguished when man stops reproducing it in himself. Where there is integration, war becomes absurd. And where war is absurd, peace is inevitable."

A True Spiritual Teacher Speaks Frankly - Striking at the Core of Our Faults

When you are criticized, accept it as an opportunity to acknowledge your hidden faults and increase your humility. Criticism is like a teacher, destroying attachment and pride. If integrated into the path, harsh words and blame will inspire your practice and strengthen your discipline. How, therefore, could you but wish to repay the one who has criticized you for his a kindness?

Happiness and suffering that come from praise and criticism are ephemeral. When you are complimented, instead of feeling proud just regard the praise as if it were something you were hearing in a dream or a fantasy. Tell yourself that the object of the praise is not you but the good qualities you may have developed through spiritual practice. In reality, only the sublime beings who have attained liberation are really worthy of praise.

If our faults are pointed out, even by our own parents or teachers, we become upset. However, we are delighted when we are flattered, even if we are attributed qualities we do not possess. As the saying goes, ‟those who always agree with us and flatter us make us feel good about ourselves, but do not help us to develop our spiritual qualities.” Those who point out our faults and show us how to deal with them however, truly help us. It is through repeated beating and melting that gold is refined. In the same way, it is by continually recognizing our own faults and following a true teacher’s instructions that we are able to transform our weaknesses and negative qualities into tools on the path of liberation.

When a troublemaker is identified and apprehended, peace returns to the village. Similarly, when our faults are revealed by a truly compassionate teacher, enabling us to recognize and eradicate them, peace returns to our being. The true spiritual teacher speaks frankly, striking at the core of our faults in order to lead us onto the right path.”
