ChurCh of T3Kno, BuddHism aNd FooD





I have had enough dealings in the esoteric and conspiracy circles to understand that food plays a major part in enlightenment. But to say that you only become enlightened through a certain aspect of food is kind brutal for example vegetarianism, it teaches you that you are elitist through your consumption of nourishment. I have undergone some type of literal hypnosis through monarch sciences with the withholding of food for a certain time while the hippies tried to program me, so I can say here that there is some illusions in it all.
I think the divine creator would not want you to starve to death but they would also want you to be as adaptable as possible. It would seem that some don’t really operate as well on a kale salad with walnuts as some would with a meat and potatoes type dinner, and the name of the game is to stay nourished for as long as possible so you are not constantly eating to stay sane.
Personally I think there is a middleground, of course nobody wants to hurt animals so we may butcher them to eat them, who would want that? But one needs complex proteins to keep the body going especially in colder wetter climates, I have always chosen the middle ground in food.
I have a dinner of meat and then my lunches and snacks consist of tofu dogs and seeds and stuff but one can’t mistake the feeling of being full and nourished so it is essentially up to each person to decide as everyone is different, some may like and enjoy and feel nourished off a kale salad, others need a whole pizza lol
I think when foodies start preaching their way around the world with their eating beliefs you have somebody so stuck up in illusions they don’t even know. I mean if you went back in time to 30 years ago nobody would know what an espresso is outside of Italy and now they are on every corner.
I think as much as you literally can cut back on things to eat that harm others there is some effort there that will not go unnoticed.  I have just seen literal cults of people starving themselves to death and being led around by a cult leader virtually hypnotizing them into their beliefs and mesmerizing them in the process creating a pseudo enigma and the cycle repeats and there is not one ounce of individuality left.
It is funny because I have met some hunters on occasion and they will shoot an arrow through a poor and helpless deer that is literally broken that you have killed it, perhaps they have a fawn a short distance away and I can literally see this sadness in the deer that I feed bread to at my porch they literally seem to broadcast with their eyes that they can’t trust you and that they heard you shoot arrows and kill them and eat them and they literally cry why with their eyes. While taking some mouthfuls of bread and smiling at them I show them that each one of us is different and that I would never shoot her to eat her, but this paradox runs into my life when I think of all the poor animals that we need to be nourished. Especially since some aspects of the vegetarian diet is unhealthy and ironically bad for you like soy and other beans and stuff but I stay with the middleground.
I have gone through times in my life when I have been vegetarian and I have enjoyed both aspects to unite them and eat one meal of meat and the rest mock meats if I can. I personally can’t live without cheese or milk but have on occasion loved almond milk quite a bit hahaha
I say when you begin to relinquish your eating habits to a cult leader or fringe element you are going into illusion, only when you are properly nourished and fed well can you begin to understand the truth, the truth of these words, the truths of the world and be able to see far past illusion and into your own literal enlightenment.

Church of Techno, Buddhism and Addiction




Addiction is a far ranging subject, much more pronounced than can be discussed in a discourse, basically without addiction there would be no pleasure in the world, people suffer from all sorts of addictions that you don’t even think about like coffee and television for example and there is more far reaching addictions such as drugs, sex, and gambling.
Truth is, we live in a free will quadrant of the galaxy, and truth is there is some worlds where everything is thought up for you, and even more perplexing such as in the animal worlds there is not many addictions to worry about.
In a free will universe you are given the tools to make it, but it is funny because without food constantly entering our sphere we would not be nourished and therefore could not operate soundly. So it is up to each person to figure out there own world in a world that literally feeds off addiction.
It is weird cause what is happening here, happens on a level universally as well, it just seems like it is magnified in the universe and somebody would be perplexed to think about the kind of highs you can find universally rather than on our own planet hehe
Addiction is quite a quagmire because once addicted unless you feed that craving there is nothing in the world that matters, and there is suffering on the planet when people are using needles to get high, but these issues it seems do not reflect the greater populace as a whole.
A world that is relatively enlightened would have legalized most forms of addiction way sooner so that people can have their supply regulated and ensured it is safe rather than getting it from gangs and crime lords, it is ironic that in the past century the same people that make drugs and such illegal in parliaments around the world are the ones that are secretly supplying it to us through the black market.
The richest in the world deal in things like heroin and other harder drugs, and then supply the police departments with enough money to combat crime, quite an irony when the richest people in the world make their billions off of black tar heroin then are seen at the opera via Rolls Royce.
The Buddha would have chosen the middle ground, and he would have never put a needle in his arm to attain enlightenment so to speak because these states of altered perception can be achieved naturally or through the dream state for example. I don’t think an enlightened being would refuse a few tokes off of a joint if it was offered to him, but he would not go steal and hurt people to seek it out.
Things like addictions and crime can be easily solved with an enlightened person leading a country or the world and you could instead of providing welfare to people, instead provide a living wage and legalize softer drugs so people don’t need to hurt others to obtain it, this practice of the government dolling out the funds as it sees fit is a travesty because these people that rule over us are detached from reality they live in an illusion of grandeur so to speak of ivy league educated initiated sell out that has no clue what the bottom or middle class is up too nor do they care what challenges they face.
Truth is addiction affects all parts of society I mean some of the elite are addicted and cannot live without their millions, billions, diamonds, and roasted quail eggs.
In a society that feeds all sorts of addictions rampantly one would wonder if there is a certain duality that runs the place, unlike the belief that this is a hell world solely or a prison planet, because if you look around you can see hints of a loving duality that rule over our domain, the power that heals you when you are sick or injured, the beauty of flowers or stars or the ocean.
There is beauty in the world if you seek it, and if you are addicted choose the middleground, do not get carried away in suffering it is all in the mind, and of course able through free will.

Church of Techno @nd th3 Pitfalls of the R@ve Scen3




With the rave scene there is beauty and there is some great suffering involved, in a scene that involves one sole key and that being music, in my time in the rave scene I met some very interesting people that wouldn’t do any sort of drug but what I fell into was a world rife with not only using one drug but a dozen and parties that consisted solely of dealers.
In a music scene that promotes drug use there will always be suffering of course, but essentially it is a greater reflection of society when you are stuck doing drugs when nobody else is looking. A truly free and open society would have decriminalized and legalized drug use long ago.
When people are doing massive amounts of drugs at a party and multiply it by ten parties and you have people that can only do drugs to listen to music, socialize and have sex etc. You meet them at a regular time and you don’t even recognize them.
People are so blitzed they can be depressed as hell one minute and then grinding with several muscle boys by the speakers the next. I never really got to see many pitfalls of the rave scene but these things take decades to notice.
What I mean is that you don’t notice the negative aspects of doing massive amounts of drugs until ten years later when you are arrested under the mental health act for having a fried brain, or you begin to realize that you are permafried or you have issues such as severe nausea for having inhaled quite a bit of  party drugs.
What you do notice is people constantly fiending for more drugs, gangs that take over the distribution, relationships torn apart because one person was just caught making out with several people while the other was getting water.
Truth is I have no idea where I would be without the rave scene, I tend to think I would have a regular job, not be nocturnal, not live with serious disabilities and worry about things like mortgages and a condo or something
But my path is my own, and I have to say if I had another go around, I would do it just not doing meth, shrooms, xtacy, GHB, coke, acid etc thousands of times. In reality my drug use started a few years before I was going to raves wandering around town on a hit of acid sorta deal, and when your brain is still developing at about age 13-15 and you are feeding it tons of stuff that flood the brain with various types of responses being dopamine, serotonin, synaptic function and misfire etc it either makes you into a bizarre sort of genius or you get totally permafried and can’t even really function in the most basic of forms in society.
But these things have been plaguing us since we found psychadellics as cave people hahaha so to point the finger at the rave scene solely would be a travesty because the music is one of very few that doesn’t program you endlessly with codes from the illuminati and to be able to forget your life for one night seems to be the greatest benefit.
However I remember staring out at thousands of people in an all loving all powerful scene and thinking how inherently lonely and broken I was, not knowing where I was going to go the next day, not knowing how I will afford the next party and keeping up with all the madness was tiring
Only now when I have retired from the scene am I able to reflect on all the strongpoints and pitfalls of it all, I am generally considered a raver still, being nocturnal and listening to tekno at least 6 hours a night and being happy all the time, truth is, I didn’t get to see many pitfalls of the rave scene, the scene took care of me, and forgave me when I made mistakes, it put me on a path of PLUR and put me on a path of techno and for that I am eternally grateful !

Church of Techno, Buddhism, Suffering




Each day that goes by, each one of us gets closer to the truth, and truth is there is immense suffering on the planet, but each individual is apart of a complex matrix of suffering designed to illicit the greatest amount of energy to the system.
My own struggle has been one of immense suffering amidst a world of chaos, and the truth is now that I am able to reflect on things I understand that suffering is universal and suffering is personal and the world we live in is made of many many choices which bring an ultimate world of causalities
No matter what mindfuck the world or its residents puts you under you always have the present to take refuge in, that you are happy, that you are healthy and that you are alive, and each day that goes by you are getting closer to enlightenment and the truth, and ultimately your ascension!
Ascension in a world of secrets seems futile but some of us are granted this on a spiritual level because this is our path. My world has developed from a world of abuse and trauma and I could have the choice to stay in that world, or I could evolve and not let any of it bother me.
Truth is, most of us are under a massive level of psychological operations but nobody wants to talk about it, the same rulers exhibiting their power over us for millennia, choices, challenges, heartache.
Some of us, that are within the realms of monarch sciences will never escape it, but you can give yourself the power to overcome it with your decision making skills. A society that is ever so cruel and all it cares about is money, bosses that are psychopaths, friends and family leading us further in illusion but the thing is that each of us has to find in a world of illusion is a way out, and for some that way out is in intellect, or music, or through marijuana or through actual human beings that are willing to help those around them out of this mess.
I used to think that I would be set free from sharing so much online in the form of my manifesto or my blog but it has only led me down more paths in my own mind that I find tough to visit, but essentially any type of creative will is a gift from the divine, and many may wonder why I keep typing and this is my main belief is that I am uniquely helping others in little ways, and this is all apart of my own path of enlightenment and forgiveness, and a path that is unique and to be studied lol
How I escaped suffering is very simple, I found somebody that believes in me, and that loves me unconditionally and I can say the same for him, and with that I have found that I can overcome any obstacle or any part of my past that seems unfathomable. Having somebody as a soulmate has helped me counsel myself into a world of sanity and beauty.
Because it is beautiful being a forest monk with all the trappings of a regular person, not having to give up holding money or giving up eating after noon or give up media and internet and music, because essentially these things are important for me, but I have learned that I too like the Buddha can become enlightened on my own terms, any path of suffering I have left behind me or that this matrix of sorts has contrived is up to that system to figure out and not my own self, I have surpassed individual suffering to the point where things don’t really get to me as much as they used to, for example the mysteries and paradigms that I personally have gone through, people can spend decades trying to figure out a coded sentence from an illuminati master and it will literally drive them nuts.
I think the best advice for suffering in modern times remains with two essential keys, live in the present, and choose the middleground.
These things can be meditated on for decades with no solution, but one of grace. A world of choices comes about when you think very little of the past, or what you are not doing, or whether you should go to one extreme or another, I think people are more willing to save homeless in Bhutan than to help themselves in the moment and in the present lol
Keep evolving blogbuddies, it’s the only thing we have left, so many are so hurt by the past or fearful of the future that they never evolve, the world is filled with these types, and to be the one out of billions that made it so to speak seems to be the wisest option.

The Vatican policy towards homosexuals has become more conciliatory since Pope Francis was ordained. In 2013, he said: "If a person is gay and seeks God and has goodwill, who am I to judge?"

"The problem is not having this orientation. We must be brothers. The problem is lobbying by this orientation, or lobbies of greedy people, political lobbies, Masonic lobbies, so many lobbies. This is the worst problem," he added.

wtf




Church of TeChNo, Buddhism, and Poverty




Poverty has been following us around for millennia, from the time when one man has two furs and the other has none, it will always be present no matter what form humanity takes, but our current capitalist system preaches that only the rich get a free pass so to speak.
When you live in a world where some people are suffering unimaginable hunger and disease so a few can make a few billion more, you know we live in a corrupt and dysfunctional matrix.
The truth is that many people with wealth have no levels of class to them at all, zero, and how can somebody with a million less excel in intellect and cognition, the only thing lacking is the zeros on the bank account
I strongly believe that poverty is an illusion, a great and vast illusion that cannot be quantified in a single discourse but something to be reflected on in months and months of meditation practice.
Truth is the world is changing with a few enlightened rich people that are being permitted to alter the worlds consciousness for example the wachowskis but also they have to undergo the same rituals and dark arts as other sellouts
Poverty is an illusion and Buddhism holds strong that you need very little to be happy but also on the other end is the fact that Buddhism needs people in the laity to help the monasteries and monks survive, since essentially what it comes down to is that you need money to survive in this world.
You would be doing yourself a great disservice when you win or make your millions to just give it all away. A smart person would put all their ducks in a row so to speak so that they can continue to change peoples lives in little or vast ways with the interest accrued for example.
I mean to really welcome wealth you have to not be poverty minded, and to be a millionaire without any money seems to be bordering on mental illness hahaha but the world has almost no place for people that are wealthy and have vast amounts of creativity and intellect
It seems ALL those with power and resources currently have very very little creativity and intellect just some surface level illusion that makes itself present as a verifiable human being but what it comes down to is their actions with wealth, did they change the world, for their friends, families, neighbours, strangers or did they live in a world of illusion spending $45,000 on a purse when they could have given $5000 to 9 cat charities to update their kennels and provide a years worth of kibbles and chow for hungry and homeless felines.
I know it may not help much but imagine this type of person a billionaires son or whatever has like 14 Ferrari’s, eats gold leaf sundaes for $1200 a scoop, and jets around the world in a 747 but has little care for any of his fellow humanity, essentially these people already reside in the hell or lower dimensions or they are the ones that are going to spend the next millennia as a yak hauling rocks in blistering temperatures up a mountain cliff because they got their chance and they blew it.
I think Buddhism over any other religion ‘gets’ this whole poverty thing and which is why their monks live a life as a renunciate but their monasteries are usually pretty opulent it is interesting and funny to observe because if you work solely with the mind you can achieve a mental wealth that supersedes any sort of material wealth and when you get to the level of a rich person you find out you are only on the bottom rung of the wealth bracket and there are far more billionaires on earth than they let on, most millionaires live as billionaires, it is a sad but a true fact.
While we may be lottery minded for the lower classes, for some it is their only way of making money to the level they desire, they don’t want to become a freemason or eastern star member, they don’t want to partake in rituals, they don’t want to invite magic into their lives, they don’t want to bring harm to their bloodline, they just want freedom, and with this mindset anything is possible, you can achieve anything you want in life no matter how hopeless it seems, it is just going to take some time and endless effort. I remain a vastly wealthy Buddhist monk swami guru with no money hehehe funny how that sounds !

Natural VS Unnatural :)





Natural and unnatural can be construed in many ways, and there is natural methods to thinking and unnatural it seems that in the past decade we have gone into hyperspeed with unnatural methods to thinking being more concerned with wealth and going to the top no matter who we step on, but since roman times we have struggled with a daily schedule that is prescribed to us that is unnatural, this ritual of working day by day and doing the daily ritual goes against our tribal desires.
When we were more in line with the natural harmony the world was easier and more fluid and answered our calls. Plus the natural world can be very unforgiving so perhaps a pre curser into our current lives…
We live in very unnatural surroundings, some of us in cube shoeboxes detached from nature in every form, almost living life on a circuit board of sorts, when you attach to the natural world and its energies you can pretty much get fast tracked into enlightenment.
A place where you are not surrounded by natural elements has its drawbacks and there is evidence in the amounts of psychopaths that live in metropolis’s. I swear where I live if a lawn chair gets knocked over in the wind it makes the front page of the newspaper, and I am shocked at some of the stuff I hear coming out of the major city next to me, being Vancouver, there is some real crazies out there.
Truth is, I am personally very blessed to live in the country, away from the concrete jungle and I write about it a lot on here, and it would be impossible had I not made a few challenging jumps in life that required patience, and courage.
Now I am able to live as a forest monk and have things like out of body experiences and other spiritual phenomena like pre cognition and being completely in tune with the animals that surround me. So for me personally to discover the natural world was a natural step in the course of enlightenment and my path, one that now that I look back, I don’t see it happening any other way, however I always lived in some sort of shoebox apartment surrounded by concrete and the occasional cat but to be surrounded by more tree’s than people brings its advantages, I finally discover the piece and solitude I have sought for a long time.
The natural and unnatural world both have their pros and cons, however if you attracted to concrete, nightclubs, mass transit, shoebox homes, rubber shoes, and streetlights over a cabin in the woods with internet, trees, deer, squirrels, peace and serenity then you will only bring to you what is given in that realm, however don’t let me strike a bad cord it is definitely possible for one to become enlightened in the city, you just have to try a bit harder than most.

Different Types of Buddhism




There are many different types and lineages of Buddhism, they say when you eradicate ignorance you are better serving yourself, so to group all Buddhists under one category is silly.
The one I align myself with is Theravāda and it is supposed to be the most conservative of all lineages and I find it to be the most free, ironically because it has survived almost three millennia in the same doctrine passed down from one master to another.
Truth is I wanted to be a monk my whole life, but later found that I make a better lay monastic due to my challenges and my interest in things like techno and the internet. I find the monastic lifestyle to be incredibly intriguing but also very confining and restrictive, unlike catholic monks, Buddhist monks only eat a meal or two a day and if you are lucky you get a soup with vegetables for dinner instead of tea.
Also unlike monastics of other faiths, Buddhism offers a way to cycle your energy so that it does not hinder your decision making process like in instances of celibacy through various types of meditation practices.
Essentially the groups of Buddhism that I am pretty aware of are Tibetian Bön, Mayahana, Pure Land, Theravāda, Indian Buddhism and of course Zen !!
I think to group it all as a faith too is an understatement because Buddhism is more than a religion it is a way of life, and it teaches you to worship your own inherent desire to attain spiritual and financial liberation.
Essentially all Buddhist lineages teach that there is suffering in the world and that suffering is universal and experienced in lesser or greater degrees on other planes of existence. But they also have a concise understanding that an individual can attain enlightenment and release this need for birth and death and rebirth and be elevated to higher realms of pure energy after a life of sevice where you may continue to assist others or you may embark on the highest pursuits open to somebody that achieves this stature, while some may argue that it lacks in material wealth but has profound spiritual, energetic, and metaphysical properties that are unknown to us in this current incarnation nor are they even fathomable to the common human.
So essentially one does not achieve enlightenment to become fabulously wealthy although to an enlightened person wealth and resources would naturally flow in their direction, they are given that power because they attain to enlighten themselves into the highest possible spiritual attainments, mastery of meditation, forgiveness for their own karma, compassion for all living beings… small and large and visible/invisible. Also people of this aptitude tend to naturally be drawn to help others through teaching the mastery of philosophical pursuits or meditation, and devote their lives to it whether they receive any sort of material reward or not.
Loosely associated with Buddhism is Vipassana meditation and this course which is offered at multitudes of places around the world offers new and experienced meditators alike a non sectarian method to meditation, for me personally it helped me stop in my tracks full force do a 360 degree about face and I finally went ah ha so this is my soul, this is why I have been suffering and I started to forgive myself and others for what has been done to me. I stopped all addictions and criminal pursuits, however I found them amusing at the time, I recognized the need to live a whole and beautiful life. My outlook changed, I started to support charitable causes, saved every disgusting looking insect I found, because they would want and need to live as much as I would, it produces little changes in your heart and mind this level of spirituality that drives to understand why you are here, to water some bushes when it is dry out, to feed animals instead of shooing them away with a nasty grunt and to have compassion for people like criminals, poor or homeless and addicts instead of shunning them like they do not exist.
All in all it doesn’t matter where you choose, you could find comfort in any faith, I am just advocating going with something you believe in, something that you find fun and fascinating, something that you ‘get’ instead of bizarre rituals year after year and most of all something that offers you answers.
