As articulated in earlier articles by me, institutions torment the ‘free spirits’ or souls with ‘individuated minds’. Institutions were designed for the ‘mass mind’ people, for the harbingers of the ‘folkspirit’ or folkgeist. I’d say from my own experience that current education is inadequate for the former, for gifted children and most especially for ‘star seed’ children.
As a young man of Age 22, Erle Frayne Argonza can be described as possessing a ‘conqueror’s psyche’. Barely starting in his work as a community development assistant, he was already very bullish in meteorically rising to top leadership and executive roles. At that age, he envisioned his entry to the presidential palace as an executive in the future, 25 years hence (at age 46 he did become a bureau director in the presidential palace).
Compare that young adult Erle to the boy Erle of preschool and school days. It was a stark contrast, to be sure. This tot was shy, melancholic, and was deeply communicating with his own inner self or detached from the crowd. He went through a traumatic childhood, and he with the ‘gifted mind’ and ‘star seed’ went through a process that, to his surprise, was undergone too by other ‘star seeds’. More >

I'm 17 now, just about to take my A-levels. I do well, I get into the university I want, get a degree, get a job. Welcome to the rest of my life.
I was at a party recently. Kids with dyed hair and catchy tshirt slogans. What are they going to be doing in 10 years? Most of them, I think, will be sat at a desk, thinking back to those good times, wondering where everything changed. And you say 'Well they have the choice to do something different.' More >

Few care to listen to the pleas of the tortured among us, until they begin to realize that the names of the homicidal perpetrators (and their silent supporters) will eternally be known as the human beasts doing the torturing. Further, the murderous minds of the uSA's sociopaths which hold sway over the media and the general population now enjoy a certain sense of infallibility as they (the hoodlums engaging in global killing, imprisoning and torturing) meet with little resistence from their apathetic and sycophantic public. However, the uSA's reign of warfare over Mankind is fast coming to a close as the entire world takes aim at the assassins who serve the uSA war machine. **The fbi and the cia are for the most part, the brains behind the atrocities being plotted and waged globally; their participation in and sponsorship of war crimes on behalf of the United States is an indictment of all three braches of government; at the same time, the citizenry who do nothing to stop their out of control government in uSA are seen as cowardly fools, and the military of this nation is seen collectively as brazen criminals let loose on the world's people.

"To the depths of depravity that the United States has fallen to...", The New York Times compares themselves to last centuries Nazi Empire as follows:
"Our humanity has been compromised by those who use Gestapo tactics in our war. The longer we stand idly by while they do so, the more we resemble those "good Germans" who professed ignorance of their own Gestapo. It's up to us to wake up our somnambulant Congress to challenge administration policy every day. Let the war's last supporters filibuster all night if they want to. There is nothing left to lose except whatever remains of our country's good name."
In the madness of war and horrific destruction being visited upon the Muslim peoples of the World by the United States, and its dwindling allies, it is interesting, but sad, to note how far these once free people fallen in barely 100 years from their truest ideas as a new war with Iran looms before them , and as we can read:
* As President Theodore Roosevelt said in his 1906 State of the Union address, "No man can take part in the torture of a human being without having his own moral nature permanently lowered." See:

Hi All,
I've not found anything on this site about Orgonite, so I thought I'd tell you about it.
Orgonite is a simple mixture of fiberglass resin, metal flakes, and quartz crystal (the crystal isn't absolutely essential, but it increases the strength of orgonite).
It was researched and developed by a man named Don Croft, with the help of his wife Carol Croft. These two got the base concept and principles from the work of the late Dr.Wilhelm Reich. You can find out all about orgonite and what it does on the Crofts' site at: [link]
Orgonite is a very strong positive energy device that anybody can make in their own basement or backyard. All you do is pour resin and metal shavings into a mold (muffin pans are great molds), drop in a crystal, and let it harden. What pops out of the mold is a device that draws in negative energy and converts it to positive. This energy has gone by many names, the Chinese call it Chi or Qi, in India it's known as Prana, and some call it Life Force. The Crofts decided to follow Dr. Reich and call it Orgone energy, hence the name "Orgonite."
Thousands of people around the globe are making and distributing orgonite in their local environments, and getting great positive changes as a result. They often leave them near cell towers, nuclear plants, powerlines, and any other sources of nasty radiation energy. This activity is known as "orgonite gifting."
I can tell you from personal experience that it really works, so I encourage everyone to try it. Be careful though, there is quite a bit of disinfo out there about orgonite. If you stick to ethericwarriors.com and the sites they link to you won't be lead astray.
Orgone The World

Last night while I was sitting in meditation, I saw a fleeting image of a hand full of vegetables that looked to me like okra. I did get a sense of the hand offering me these vegetables. I opened my eyes.
"I've just seen a hand full of okras in my mind's eye," I said to my mother.
"Okras? That's weird!" More >

At this moment I wish to share my reflections about the great boon that an Old Soul would bring to a household. And baneful it is for a certain household to have a lack of or throw away an Old Soul most specially an authority figure who’s the Light of the home.
As already clarified in previous article, an Old Soul is one had evolved way ahead of the rest of the population. We mystics call them ‘evolved souls’ while ancient Chinese call them ‘old souls’. Being evolved, they are those who can coach and mentor other younger souls—the ‘laggards’ (or ‘young souls’) and the ‘middling souls’ (no more laggard but short of being an old soul)—so that the latter can hopefully evolve faster in their respective Paths.
For a planet like Earth that is considered ‘fallen’, or trapped in dense energy veils (e-veils or evils), it is such an enormous boost for all souls to have old souls among them. Needless to say, in the micro-setting, a family would perform optimally in the evolutionary path if an authority figure of the old soul type is present. More >

Social Unconscious, Civilization and Sexuality
The rational mind was the great celebrated faculty of the Enlightenment era, after which came the French revolution and Terror, and even worse things in the 20th century. All this was followed by the scientific elaboration of the notion of the Unconscious mind by Freud, just over one hundred years later which threw rationalism into turmoil.
Just as the individual has a rational or conscious mind, and also an Unconscious, so too, I now propose, does society as a whole. The analogy of society/individual is an old one, but I think this comparison of a social conscious and a Social Unconscious is new. Certainly society tries to be very rational with its theories, sciences, laws, rules and regulations and so on, and this corresponds naturally to the rational mind of the individual. What of the Social Unconscious, what does this consist of ? We are at an introductory stage in the study of this subject and I now propose three areas to look at, though I am sure that in due course more will come to light. These areas are Civilization, Sexuality and a structure in society which I call the Pyramid or triangle, which I will not be elaborating in this piece but will cover at length in an essay dedicated solely to it.
Civilization is a very strange subject and area of study. In one way it is a specific form of society as delineated by anthropologists, Marxists etc. but in another way it is a thing about which people have very personal and emotional, even irrational views and they feel very threatened by any criticisms of it to the extent of accusing you of wanting to destroy it if you make anything in the nature of a critique of it. Furthermore, there is no proper study of this subject. It is very broad and considered too much so for any one academic discipline. It is the area of dilettantes like Freud who wrote “ Civilization and its Discontents” and many other writers who weren’t specialists in this field. Every subject under the sun has an academic discipline devoted to it, except this one. Even though civilization is presently under great threat from climate change and other dangers, and every civilization that has ever existed has ultimately collapsed, there is still an incredible reluctance on the part of most people to talk about the subject, discuss it rationally And make plans to save it from destruction. All of these things, and I could say more, suggest to me that this subject of civilization is part of the aforementioned Social Unconscious. To say that society and people have a total blindspot to this subject is a vast understatement. Like many blindspots and neuroses and states of denial it can prove fatal if not brought to light and subjected to therapeutic treatment.
Much the same can be said about the subject of sexuality. One can discuss it rationally but many people can’t, and seem very ill at ease in any proximity to the subject. I have sometimes tried to discuss the ideas of that genius Oscar Wilde with seemingly intelligent people, only to be told “ I don’t want to talk about that homosexual”. Obviously their own problems with their own sexuality makes it impossible for them to even talk about any subject even approximately close to their difficult feelings. It’s not just individuals who have these problems with sexuality, society as a whole has taboos, no-go areas, evasions, distortions, denials, hypocrisies and double-standards of all sorts and that too suggests that sexuality is part of the Social Unconscious.
In a later writing I will look at a structure in society which seems to be unknown to social and political scientists, which in itself suggests that it may be part of this Social Unconscious, and which I have termed the Pyramid or Triangle.
Just as neurotic individuals need to do therapy to become healthier people, so our society needs to do some social therapy. It needs to look at the subject of civilization closely and discuss it widely. The same with the taboo areas of sexuality and all the connected issues. This is not an option but a necessity.
