The Ultimate Thread: SJG's Soap Box

Three events in the next 24 hours that could determine whether the sell-off continues

Dougster, don't jump!

Jump, SJG, jump !!!

Are we talking about bitcoin, I've already moved my working capital into fiat....haven't touched the HODL coins

Bitcoin going to $1,000,000,000 per coin!

SJG

Bitcoin: Robert Shiller is correct again and again and again...

^^^^^ link?

SJG

I don't know you all well enough to know if you're serious....I never thought it would hit that high myself, but I was shocked when it went up from 1,000$ to $20,000 in a relatively short time span. I missed out on a lot of capital gain because I mostly make money on buying from sellers and selling to buyers...My rationale was I'd always make money regardless of a bull or bear market...I've had customers buy $30K and end up with millions from buying both BTC and ETH....

People can also watch valuations rise in the short term and make money in the casinos of Las Vegas. Put $1 down, if it wins, then the valuation of that number is now $35. You get to decide if you cash our or let it ride.

SJG

Obviously the last year or so was fueled by massive speculation....I warned all my buyers...and the HYIP ponzi's going on like Bitconnect are the worst. Yet, a few still chose to invest in such nonsense....It would have been better if we never had this run....bitcoin was just fine at $200, or even $2.

www.youtube.com

Well, this entire country has been becoming more and more a Ponzi scheme.

I think people should put their money into their own affairs. Believing that these financial speculations are somehow better is a huge con.

SJG

@san_jose_guy,

I'm just curious, without financial market speculation how else would we finance large risky projects?

@BHF... You do realize that asking a question like that is essentially the same as making eye contact with that crazy homeless guy who sometimes chases people with a used syringe, right?

@Call.Me.Ishmael,

LOL yes, I know. But he's actually an interesting guy. I mean he's batshit crazy but he's still interesting. I'm a libertarian and he hates libertarianism, so it's not like I would vote for him for mayor or something.

I’m reading the “Art of the Deal”, so stfu SJG!

This is another thread by a guy who comments on strip clubs - but hasn’t been in a club in 20 years. What are the chances SJG has actually investments in the market that he pretends to know about? He’s a complete sham. He views the markets with snippets of information that are used only because they fit his narrative. His comments hold no credence - and his soap box simply provides us with a better view of the village idiot!

I have $1,000 I can paypal to anyone who can permanently take away SJGs internet access.

Maybe we can get a pool going to up the ante.

You guys know that you are feeding SJGs fantasies by responding to his inane drivel right.

BHO, large projects or most business expansions get very little from financial speculation markets. Rather, such markets give a class a hold on our productive future. I cite here the writings of Doug Henwood, Left Business Observer and How Wall Street Works and for Who.

And Cashman, I'm not stupid enough to waste money that could be funding my own affairs, by putting it into things which are not my own affairs. You go along with herd think and believe that things you know very little about are good, because other people tell you so.

And I am sure that you regularly get your money clipped off of you in strip clubs, when someone who did not think like you would quickly be waking up in the mornings with the stripper of his choice.

REPLY TO A CONTINUING ENQUIREY ABOUT DFKING AND OUR LOCAL CLUBS

Well yes, our clubs are no touching. The last people who seriously challenged this sat in jail for several months before they were allowed to put their houses up for bail. Will this ever change, hard to say. Our DA's office knows that there is nothing except their bullying which stands between us and San Francisco. They don't want that to happen. So most of the time people are hit with massive charges, to intimidate them into pleading guilty, while the DA knows that with competent defense and in front of a jury, their case is bogus.

Jim and Artie Mitchell went through 2 jury trials. But of course, they courted the news papers. In San Francisco the news papers mocked the police. That helps.

Here the papers have sat on the fence and endorsed the moralists POV.

Sorry to hear that Seattle is Deja Vu. That sucks.

I am 24-7 embedded in guerilla style political conflicts. So I cannot go to anything like our underground circuit. I am inview and on call 24-7. If it is running, I say go to some of the bars and start asking. The dancers at the above ground clubs are not that likely to know about it. Just go to the bars and ask politely. The Mexicans call it 'Bikini Show'. At this point I would also suggest checking Watsonville, Monterey, and Salinas.

Otherwise just go to a major metro with a good rep for loose non-Deja Vu clubs.

I do not like Cheetah's. They only price dances so high because the girls insist that they are as hot as the SF girls. So the management gives in.

Brass Rail is far cheaper, and you can be civilian dating one of their girls very quickly. Some even do do P4P. Go in near closing time on the night shift. Dress nice.

Buying dances is a chump's game. Front room makeout session. Not for free, but treating her like a civilian. Then only when it is time for your own pants to come down, you invite her to the back room. Then take her home with you and keep on seeing her.

But, at our local clubs, and Deja Vu run SF, very hard to do. If you were to try SF, I would suggest MBOT, non-Deja Vu, and then the 4x unbranded DV no alcohol clubs. And especially New Century ( very large, and usually lots of blacks ) or Little Darlings ( looks to be all black ).

Otherwise just need to find another metro. People say great things about that San Gabriel Valley, and about a few other places such as Club Rio, and I would check out Starz in Gardena.

Good Luck

SJG

SJG - your posts have again gone off the rails. I am doing quite well with my investments. I avoid the crazes - and stick with stable - risk averse investments.

My investments fund all of my affairs. I don’t spout off details about my business and investment dealings because I’m comfortable where I am in life. I don’t seek approval from others, and I don’t offer (unsolicited) advice, because each investors basis and risk tolerance, differs.

Your above post makes it seem that you are a high level political operative. We all know that is a huge overstatement. I doubt that your “organization” is even at the level of grass roots.

Everyone on this board knows you are an angry man, who holds a major grudge against strip clubs (because of some odd negative experience over 20 years ago). You continue to spout negativity towards others, and offer little constructive advice. So your presence on this board is puzzling.

Do you think you’ve discouraged one member from going to a club with your sad diatribes? I would doubt you have any effect on others club habits.

@san_jose_guy said "large projects or most business expansions get very little from financial speculation markets."

Ok, I'll bite: where do you believe they get the money from if not the financial markets?

SJG and Groundhog Day have something in common. He’s like a broke record.

Well Cashman, that may be how you want to live, glorfied gambling, or following the pension and insurance fund managers. Really I could not care less how much money you have.

I and a circle of associates are putting our money into our own affairs and we will continue to.

I have nothing against strip clubs. I love them. But that doesn't mean I take them at face value, or regularly hand out wads of money when the same women can be enjoyed off site and things can get very personal.

I am not an angry man, as that would be you Cashman.

Here, something you can stuff into your mouth:

www.organicauthority.com

SJG

If you aren’t an angry man - how many times have you posted rants here calling strip club patrons chumps? Telling others that they are pursuing enjoyment incorrectly?

An angry man is unable to accept the enjoyment of others. You are a sad and angry man. You continually tell us that we are having fun incorrectly. Why not simply accept our enjoyment for what it is?

You can spout off about your hang ups everyday - but this is the wrong site for it.

Those who go into strip clubs and buy dances, they are chumps.

Pursuing enjoyment incorrectly? Well sex and sex acts with real women ( as opposed to FemBots ) are enjoyable. But the bigger part of it is when the girl opens up to you emotionally. These idiots are not pursuing enjoyment. Something has gone seriously ary.

Cashman, you sound to me like someone who's entire psyche has been shaped by continual doses of alcohol. Am I right.

And here, if that sock wasn't enough to shut you up, try this:

You have again gone off and launched an irrational personal attack. It’s sad that you launch such attacks when questioned. I question your ability to reason maturely and respond intelligently.

I treat strip clubs as intended. They are a place for non-emotional adult sexual interaction. There is very little else I seek in strip clubs. I don’t seek out DFK and emotional connections from dancers.

If you want to debate salient points, I will do so. But your childish attacks are useless - as I’m not threatened by a keyboard cowboy - armed with media links and lengthy directs to his previous tuscl discussions.

Cashman and Taxi, I have made my points consistently and very clear. You still want to argue, about what I know not. But that is you two guys' problem.

"I treat strip clubs as intended. They are a place for non-emotional adult sexual interaction"

Yes, the strip club owners set them up so it looks like that. But the central part of sex is emotional.

The women who work in strip clubs, at least so far, they are real. But for some reason lots of guys want to treat them as fembots.

Not me, I am real with them and I open the door for them to be real with me. Been like that for decades, since my first visits to local clubs.

SJG

LMAO SJG has to pay women for emotional connections. And he thinks the best places for this are strip clubs and AMPs...both of which are there for sexual services.

What an emotional CHUMP!!!

^ And strip club POSER.

@taxi driver just piss on him and give him a dollar ;)))

BHF said: "LOL yes, I know. But he's actually an interesting guy."

You and I have vastly different definitions of the word 'interesting'.

SirLDAlot - there is a major omission in SJG’s statements - as he speaks as though his knowledge is current. He hasn’t stepped in a strip club in years. That is why I still don’t understand he posts on a strip club website. He can’t explain that either. His discussions are entirely non pertinent. A few off topic posts are fine for any user. But every post of his is off topic! He’s useless, lonely, bored, and he couldn’t afford to go to a strip club!

He's a huge ass faggot

SJG is gay!

You guys do realize he is jerking off while writing this stuff?!?! You are just getting him more turned on by engaging in debate.

@Uprightcitizen I disagree. I'm pretty sure SJG truly believes he's not trolling and is simply posting to "contribute" to TUSCL with "scintillating" conversation. (Yes he is that much of a clueless idiot.)

@Cashman1234 The reason you struggle to understand SJG is because you don't understand how the mind of a distraught narcissist works. As a narcissist, he is simply using TUSCL to look "better' than PLs that actually go to strip clubs and get dances with strippers. Unbeknownst to him, his claim that "buying dances is a chump's game" is a straw man argument that he uses to make himself look better as someone that would rather DFK and skip dances and go straight to FS. It's his narcissistic defense mechanism.

And coupled with his narcissism is the mental anguish and stress of losing his wife (LOL due to his own infidelity as a monger back in the 90s). He is extremely in post divorce stress but his narcissism won't let him see the truth in his own wrongdoings, so bashing TUSCL PLs is his "therapy"

And yes, there is no credibility to any of his claims. He may have DFKed once with a stripper in the 90s but he hasn't since. And also his only real stories that he has ever posted about actual DFK were his AMP whore threads he started about two years ago. And LOL even in those threads it is clear the AMP whores didn't really want to DFK him.

He basically lost his wife, a woman's sincere affections, and his money by being a PL monger. He now seeks that lost affection and emotional connection more so than actual sex. He fulfilled the need somewhat through paying AMP whores, and since that was at least something since he lost his wife, it's become his TUSCL mantra. As long as he keeps repeating his narcissistic and pathetic self over and over, he doesn't ever have to face the real truth about himself.

I don’t read his posts much and I have no idea what this one is about. But I think dance a lot gives an excellent psychological critique.

SLD nice shrinkage. Certainly plausible based on his history. I was just making a smart ass comment that was meant to point out the futility of having a reasoned debate with SJG. He likes to judge others but recoils at the slightest hint of being judged himself (your reasoning could very well be valid). He may also be cleaning up right now and once his refractory period is over he will start posting again.

^ No worries Upright, regardless of jest I was using your post to point out that he really is so clueless as to not even recognize his own asshole behavior. LOL it's extreme narcissism.

I agree - SLD offers good insights - and a good summary of the narcissism filling SJG’s mind.

To uprightcitizen’s point - it’s entirely possible that SJG is jerking off as he imparts his wisdom on us. He views his genius as so superior - that simply by tossing out a few snippets - is providing us with mind-blowing brilliance.

At least he doesn’t post fictitious reviews - to just get vip access. Although I’m sure his reviews wouldn’t be very interesting - as he couldn’t describe the interior of a strip club (at least not a modern club).

^^^^^^^ bunch of jackanapes

You buffoons still don't listen. I can disclose lots of stuff on this forum which I could not f2f, because I can and do deploy a privacy wall where I see it as needed. So what I tell you is what I want you to know. If I wanted you to know more, I would have disclosed it.

As such I am not subject to interrogation, and I don't have to prove anything whatsoever. My current life is very closely guarded because I have worldly responsibilities. I'm not every going to rule anything in our out.

Trying to get information out of me will never be any different than it would be with the CIA.

^ more proof of a clueless narcissist

BTW I doubt SJG jerks off. He also suffers from ED. Likely because of guilt that he is unwilling to admit.

I noticed SJG is now signing off all his posts with links to his older, most "scintillating" threads, but...he fails to share his threads on AMP whore DFK mongering. I thought I'd share them to put his views and claims into perspective...

To me these are SJG's true "contributions" to the boards. They highlight his "mastery" of how to DFK and get "civilian" with an AMP whore. They are all both creepy and entertaining as fuck.

Enjoy!

"@Uprightcitizen I disagree. I'm pretty sure SJG truly believes he's not trolling and is simply posting to "contribute" to TUSCL with "scintillating" conversation. (Yes he is that much of a clueless idiot.)"

That's funny, and very accurate!

And the title is wrong, it should be "the creep's ultimate egotistical spam thread"

And i hate bumping this useless thread but the creep will be along in a few hours to bump it anyway like he always does.

^ LOL nice title.

LOL SJG has a limited window of free internet access every day. He attends to all his "worldly affairs" from his bike and then the high point of his day is spamming TUSCL with self-aggrandizing posts at the public library.

And you, creep, are definitely misunderstanding that other than you, nobody cares about your posts.

SJG is a cautionary tale for all PLs. He is an example of how bad things can go if you monger so much that SS becomes your reality that you lose your money, home, car, wife, and a woman's affections all because of it. He's at rock bottom in life now. And I'm pretty sure he's even lost his mind. And again it is all because of not being able to control his mongering.

Personally, I became fascinated with his early posts and read a lot of them, the ones I posted links to earlier, but besides those his OT threads are mindless drivel and spam. But those threads about his AMP mongering are amazing journeys into the mind of a clueless idiot that thinks he has game with AMP whores. But in reality they are completely repulsed by him and are stringing him along. They are his real world experiences rather than his fantasy land obsession with front room DFK posts, and so I think that is why I found them entertaining and funny (in a pathetic way).

So, will be getting an occult book:

www.amazon.com

But also want to get the two James Wasserman books on the Knights Templar, especially interested in their involvement in aaination and piracy. Today such might be considered te**o*ists.

www.amazon.com

seems to be the second book, and maybe lesser

www.amazon.com

actually a third, 2017

Templar heresy : a story of gnostic illumination

So, all three, in order.

Hey SJG, instead of posting about reading an occult book, instead how about going to an actual strip club and trying your front room DFK mad skills and report back about how it went when it was time for your pants to come down? I'm sure it would be an ultimate read!

Then will be proceeding to the Eliphas Levi books, mid 19th Century and often translated by members of Golden Dawn, like Westcott, Mathers, Waite, and Crowley. Prefer to read the ones I can get in the order written.

Eliphas Levi

Ones I can likely get, try to be in order written:

The Book of Splendors (1892) probably cannot get

The Key of the Mysteries (1861) probably cannot get

So we have:

Transcendental Magic (1856)

Local guy I've known J.

Nominally a carpenter, but also usually homeless, living in his pick up truck. Had been absent. Just got out of 9 months in the county.

DUI, his first. I knew the penalties were tough, but 9months for a first time?

Seems he hit someone and she got injured. But J. down plays it, scratch on food, head injury.

J. has long had a drinking problem, and I see he also has an attitude problem. He blames this woman, driving at 11pm without her headlights on, and not wearing her seat belt. Talks like he has been wronged.

So now he is on probation for 3 years. He is in a temporary housing thing, 3 months at no cost. And he no longer has his vehicle.

After the 3 months they will try to get him into a sober living place. But J. says that won't work, as he drinks.

I feel that he is adamant about his drinking, maybe because he feels he was wronged, and because he no longer had a vehicle.

Working with community groups, I feel that many homeless men are so over divorce, or over loss of driving privelidge, or just bad driving records making them unemployable due to drinking. Many of the livable wage jobs a man might have do revolve around driving. But insurance co's of course don't want people with bad records working for their client firms.

I also have seen that many of the homeless men are also people who seem to have very grown up with very casual attitudes about drinking, seeing it as normal and a kind of an expectation. This kind of stuff is not easy to change.

Now in the group I am building there will be no such problems. But this group is not at all for the general population.

For our society, I say there is a problem, with alcohol, drugs, tobacco, psychiatric medication, recovery, and born again Christianity.

Maternal grandfather of Elon Musk had a 1948 model, they used to fly all around in it. Including once to Scotland and once to Australia. Mostly landing off airport.

They say that South Africa was a hard place for Elon Musk. He planned his escape to the US way back. But started off with college in Ontario.

Yep, need to read this to be prepared, Ho Tactics

www.amazon.com

so, from "Elon Musk, Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future", talking about Elon having just completed college in Ontario and U Pennsylvania.

page 55

"

Musk's insistence on explaining the early origins of his passion for electric cars, solar energy, and rockets can come off as insecure. It feels as if Musk is trying to shape his life story in a forced way. But for Musk, the distinction between stumbling into something and having intent is important. Musk has long wanted the world to know that he's different from the run-of-the-mill entrepreneur in Silicon Valley. He wasn't just sniffing out trends, and he wasn't consumed by the idea of getting rich. He's been in pursuit of a master plan all along. "I really was thinking about this stuff in college," he said. "It is not some invented story after the fact. I don't want to seem like a Johnny-come-lately or that I'm chasing a fad or just being opportunistic. I'm not an investor. I like to make technologies real that I think are important for the future and useful in some sort of way."

So Musk started ZIP2, similar to CitySearch and like Yahoo Maps, Directions, and Yellow Pages. Then sold to Compaq in 1999 for over $300 Meg.

Musk had started with really nothing, his brother Kimbal, money from odd jobs in college, and a dilapidated sedan which they painted polka dots onto. And their father in South Afrika gave them $28k.

So about 4 years later, after sleeping and living in a 20' x 30' they had rented, and later bringing in outside people and money, when it was finally sold, Elon Musk got $22 Meg.

I think it highly unlikely that Elon Musk has ever been an 'investor', putting money into things he or his crew did not control, or that he ever went along with any doctrine of 'creating wealth', 'financial literacy', 'financial self improvement', or 'saving for retirement'.

Now Zip2 and PayPal were computer only things. I would not be satisfied with that myself.

But SolarCity, Tesla, SpaceX, those are an entirely different matter!

Will read more of the Ashlee Vance book about him later.

Now starting to read:

And with the group I am building, we will have our own vast libraries.

SJG

So I read the earlier book on this subject:

Eliphas Levi and the French Occult Revival

www.amazon.com

This has prepared me. And Christopher McIntosh has written a back cover endorsement for Tobias Churton:

www.amazon.com

Its basically Pairs from 1871 thru 1914, mostly Rosicrucianism and Martinism.

Churton is turning out to be extremely prolific, and he is out there. But I can't afford to put the time into reading this straight, I have to speed read it, get out of it what I need, what will stick for me.

Very close relations between the occult and poetry, music, painting, literature, and science.

Talks about Frances Yates as one who talked about this at length:

And I need to find some books to read about Martinism, as I know far less about it than I do about Rosicrucianism.

SJG

Introduction to Martinism

www.youtube.com

So Churton finishes talking about the future, the legacy of that era before WWI. There was some rumors about Synarchism, a secret elite government, no good.

Now of course this would be Vichi, and such things are almost always Fascist.

But they are saying that it is the contemporary government of the EU.

SJG

Synarchism

en.wikipedia.org

good books written by

Joel R. Hass (Author),‎ Maurice D. Weir (Author),‎ George B. Thomas Jr. (Author)

like: University Calculus: Early Transcendentals, Multivariable

www.amazon.com

So books mentioned about this Synarchism:

This Gérard Galtier, but his stuff seems not to have been translated to English, but one into Spanish

Start with this, as referenced by Churton:

www.amazon.com

and then:

www.amazon.com

Okay, but then:

The Sion revelation : the truth about the guardians of Christs's sacred bloodline / Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince

And this Lynn Picknett has written lots of interseting looking stuff.

www.amazon.com

And then about Martinism, reading in Churton, starting to get some understanding.

Martinez de Pasqually (1727?–1774)

en.wikipedia.org

And those who succeeded him were: Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin and Jean-Baptiste Willermoz

Now de Pasqually was likely half Jewish. And I have not read this anywhere, but to me he seems influenced by Baruch Spinoza, a likely practitioner of Kabbalah.

Here, a modern order which mentions among others Spinoza

So other than what these Martinist groups have on their web sites, there is not that much. Though I do have to admit that the Tobias Churton book is proving both good and challenging.

I believe that the French Rosicrucian Order AMORC makes much use of Satie and Debussy.

So it was Antoine Court de Gebelin ( 1725 - 1824 ) who first put the 22 letter of the Hebrew alphabet onto the 22 Tarot cards. Eliphas Levi followed this. And Levi was not trying to recreate Renaissance magic, he wanted something compatible and necessary to science.

Churton is the first I have seen who was able to summarize Eliphas Levi. Levi did not want to recreate Renaissance Magic, he wanted something compatible with science.

pp 91, "Levi adapted the inherited system, adding an eleventh sephira, called Da'ath, understood as that Knowledge that is true Science, being a reflection and synthesis of the other sephiroth. Levi's advocacy of the tarot as a codified High Science opened the way for the tarot to be used not only as the familiar means of divination, but also as a path to inner exploration, constituting an essential wing of the high magic that could only be worked in a state of exalted or mystical consciouness.

from Occult Paris by Tobias Churton

So we talk about some following H. P. Blavatsky and her Theopsophical Society,

and Anna Kingsford (1846-1888) They both published an 1882 book, The Perfect Way

Stanislas de Guaita ( 1861 - 1897 )

A curious guy, had been a poet, and with a great knowledge of chemistry. Seemed to be undergoing a great deal of emotional suffering. But then, rather like Aleister Crowley after him, under went a kind of conversion from poety to "Magick" as "the way of life."

Would go on to be involved in the Rosicrusianism of the day. And he wrote books like Black Magic, and the Keys To Black Magic.

So in Occult Paris, Tobias Churton is now talking about some Knights Templar originated Rosicrucianism running in the Agen

Lot-et-Garonne area of France.

en.wikipedia.org

This Agen has been noted as an area with a very low birth rate. Some have said that if you have a second child there you will be receiving condolences cards. I noted that it stands out on the 1791 Jurist Priest map. Others say it is a place which went for the socialist Mitterrand. I speculated that being a leader in de-Christianization, it may go back to the Cathars. It is a kind of Catholic thinking which is totally against church teaching.

Now it is starting to look like it goes back further, to gnosticism originating with the Knights Templar.

It is all completely Catholic, its just like I call it, being "in the church but not of it".

Tobias Churton writes extremely interesting and extremely challenging books.

SJG

I had read a book about the Cathars. This guy went to the final martyrdom site Montsegur.

en.wikipedia.org

He asked how many of the people were Cathars. He was told that they all were, and then surprised to hear that they still are.

Now I understand, its a way of being in the church but not of it.

Some called the Pater Norsters, as they would sit in a circle and recite the Lord's Prayer slowly over and over. Is this worth burning people at the stake?

It is a kind of protest, because they might not be sitting in the pews and listening to sermons. But the real threat about the Cathars was that they had switched their minds from standby to online, specifically, they had methods of contraception and abortion.

So this kind of private dissent, thinking beyond the church, still continues to this day.

You don't see this amongst American Catholics, rather it is in Catholic countrys.

So this is what Peladan and others were building upon in starting their Rosicrucian movement in Paris. But Agen had been a stronghold, noted for its low birth rate.

He is the link between Peledan and the Agen - Tolouse Rosicrucianism and Templarism, but they are also Catholic Legitimists, meaning that they want to restore the monarchy. They oppose the Bonapartists and the Orleanists, I guess the actually want to restore the Bourbons.

huge cash of A. E. Waite books in libraries, but not the above.

from Occult Paris by Tobias Churton, Eugene Vintras believed himself to be Elijah. And he was the spiritual source for the Carmelite Order. During the revolution said order was banished from France.

But then this also connects to this guy Abbe Boullan (1824-1893)

SJG

Repeat discussion about Agen France:

There is some new information at hand about Agen France and things which might make it unusual. Reading Occult Paris, by Tobias Churton.

www.amazon.com

The book comes to one Josephin Peledan, a rather notorious sort of the 1880's and 1890's who started a Rosicrucian Order in Paris. The question turns to what made him think he had the initiatory standing by which to do that?

Well he was affiliated with one Vicomte Louis Edouard de Lapasse ( 1792 - 1867 )

iniziazioneantica.altervista.org

they show the same picture in the Churton book.

So this started with a lecture given by Yale's John Merriman, about France and the development of a middle-class, as evidenced by the low birth rate. And then how contraception was considered by the Catholic clergy as an unspeakable evil.

So Merriman talks specifically about Agen and how if you have a second child you can today expect to be receiving condolences cards. Never heard of such a place. Merriman talks about the place standing out on the 1791 Jurist Priest map, and then recently in how they voted for the socialist Mitterand.

So speculation was raised that these uncommon views which they have could come from that having been a Cathar place. There is in fact a cathar castle there. But most of these so called cathar castles are fake, built by the French Monarchy in order to keep the Cathars from coming back. Catharism is today something of a tourism industry.

Well, in Churton's book he talks about Peledan coming from 'old Catholic families" and Lapasse also coming from such, but in Agen.

They are actually talking about Templars, about there being some sort of Templar legacy there built into Agen, and also maybe into Toulouse.

So they talk about Templars, Troubodors, Cathars, and Rosicrucians, as all basically being the same, and operating, among other places, Agen.

And it has been discussed that Cathars would assemble and sit in a circle and slowly recite the Pater Noster over and over. But does this get people burned at the stake? No, it was because they had methods of contraception and abortion, and just because they were thinking about such things, instead of acting out of compulsion.

Remember, Cathars did not build their own churches, they would freely attend Catholic services. They just seemed to have understood it differently, been able to keep a certain critical distance. I have long called this, "Being in the Church but not of it".

So the Churton book is telling us that something like that still existed amongst these 'old Catholic families' in Agen in the 1800's. And so just by virtue of having grown up in that environment, Peledan and Lapasse were already initiated into some sort of Rosicrucian - Cathar - Troubodor - Templar thinking.

So after Merriman, this is the first written confirmation that someone finds something unusual about this Agen

Lot-et-Garonne

region

en.wikipedia.org

I mean none of this occult stuff would the Catholic clergy approve of, and much of it did have a buried sort of sexuality. But who cares what the Catholic clergy says or thinks.

You will find this in a Catholic country like France, where as in the US, Catholics are more like Protestants, seeing it as a belief and approval seeking system.

If someone grows up in a family which is 'in the Church but not of it', then they will assimilate that different way of thinking.

So again, first confirmation that there is something different about Agen, and indeed affirming that it does connect to these gnostic types of thinking.

Condolences cards upon having a second child? Only time I ever heard of people who might think like that would have to connect to gnositicsm. And one of the major occurrences of such was Catharism in the South of France. But they are actually now connecting all of it to the Knights Templar.

Lapasse was a doctor, and he lived by the Rosicrucian injunction from the Fama Fraternititus to treat the poor at no charge.

this guy Abbe Boullan (1824-1893), he was the real Satanist of the group, and he was the one Huysman's was writting about.

SJG

Abbe Joseph-Antoine Boullan, Catholic priest, jailed in Rome, seen as Satanist, and some unspeakable rumors.

en.wikipedia.org

So Josephin Peladan and Stanislas de Guaita, running their Rosicrucian Order, decided that it was their role to take Boullan down.

So some of this came down to Eliphas Levi's two volume:

Author Lévi, Éliphas, 1810-1875

Title Dogme et rituel de la haute magie. English

Transcendental magic : its doctrine and ritual / by Eliphas Lévi ; translation [and] biographical preface by Arthur Edward Waite

But there is also supposed to be some addendum to it.

If one looks at the table of contents for this, this addendum is there!

www.amazon.com

So the addendum is called 'Nuctermeron' and it talks about twelve hours or intelligences, which may be pressed into service. This is all attributed to a first century mage Appolonius of Tyana, and found in a hermetic tract written in Greek in a Jewish 1721 work on the life and death of Moses.

So this is what they used, and the first of these 'intellilgences' is where the name Papus was taken from for Gerard Encausse.

This whole book is a bit of a challenge, as tend to be all the numerous books of Tobias Churton.

So trying to finish up with Tobias Churton's "Occult Paris"

www.amazon.com

Churton is always way out there. And he is always challenging.

San Jose's AMORC was not built on the idea that Rosicrucianism is either gnostic, connected to Cathars, or to the Knights Templar. But today many do see it this way.

So Churton talks about this Gnostic Church, and especially this Jules Doinel and Deodat Roche.

Continuing in North America, based in NYC?:

www.apostolicgnosis.org

And you can see that inverting the Cathar aestheticism, plus Josephin Peladan, were the main influences on the decadence of Aleister Crowley.

And yes in the South, the Canal du Midi area, there is some sort of tradition of gnosticism, like what I call, being in the church but not of it. And this is especially strong in Agen. Seemingly it does go back to Cathars, Knights Templar, and Troubadours.

And then others say that this is Hermeticism coming in with Islam, and also being expressed in John of the Cross.

And then one of the most interesting people is this Papus.

So of Debussy and Satie, Churton says,

"that you may feel that you are only hearing a fragment of the music, for the tonal experimentation of these composers' minds were most deeply involved in esoteric sensibilities, aimed at invoking the unseen and unheard."

And we have this Breton myth of this city Y's, of their North coast, which sunk

So much talk of this Gnostic Church and Cathars, I want to look at this Rosicrucian Lectorium, something which draws much from the Cathars, and see if there is any connection.

In 1956, the work of Jan van Rijckenborgh and Catharose de Petri received an important impulse by the contact with Antonin Gadal (1877-1962), the custodian of the Cathar heritage in southern France. They allied themselves with the spiritual treasure of this spiritual community shattered by the Inquisition about 700 years ago.

Jan van Rijckenborgh wrote his first manuscripts under the pseudonym John Twine. With the choice of this pseudonym, he expressed that he was a John man, a forerunner of the Christ man. The last name Twine symbolizes the two aspects that are present in every human being: the divine element that urges the liberation, and the earthly element, the natural soul. In January 1940, Jan Leene adopted the spiritual name Jan van Rijckenborgh.

In the British Library in London Jan van Rijckenborgh discovered a work by Johann Valentin Andreae, “Rei publicae christianopolitanae descriptio”, in English translation. Interpreting parts of this document, he wrote a commentary which he published together with his Dutch translation of this manuscript in 1939 under the title “Christianopolis“. Furthermore he translated the Manifestos of the Rosicrucians: “Fama Fraternitatis”, “Confessio Fraternitatis” and “Alchemical Wedding of Christian Rosyross” into Dutch. In these writings he found what moved it himself: the call for a general reformation, which especially aimed at the fundamental change in man himself.

With about 40 publications written by Jan van Rijckenborgh, partially together with Catharose de Petri, he left a great wealth of advice and support to people who seek for truth and liberation on their spriritual path.

I am so far not seeing any connection to the leaders of this 19th Century Gnostic Church, except for the interest in the South of France and the Cathars.

So let me look at this man from the Gnostic Church: Deodat Roche, living 99 years

Cathars

www.bibliotecapleyades.net

"Today, Catharism is largely seen as a dualist religion, like most Gnostic and oriental teachings. The man largely responsible for identifying Catharism as such was Déodat Roche (1877-1978), often referred to both as 'the Cathar Bishop', if not 'the Cathar Pope'.

However, outside of France, his name is relatively unknown, as is that of his friend and Professor of Sociology René Nelli of the University of Toulouse (and often referred to as 'the vicar of Catharism'), who lectured on the subject all over France.

Their fame has largely been eclipsed by the likes of Otto Rahn and Antonin Gadal, who saw the caves of the valley south of Foix as secret initiation centers for the Cathars - a theory that is now often widely accepted, but which has very little academic support.

Gadal continued the work started by the local historian Adolphe Garrigou. From the 1930s onwards, circles were formed around Gadal and the already mentioned Roche and Nelli.

Together, they formed "La Société du souvenir de Montségur et du Graal," to promote the forgotten history of Catharism - but specifically tying it to the Holy Grail - and the promotion of Montségur, and the region as a whole. It is here that what is now known as 'neo-Catharism' was born, and it has little to do with the original belief.

A second circle of Cathar enthusiasts had the countess Pujol-Murat as a key figure; she was one of Otto Rahn's patrons. Rahn was a young German academic, whose books greatly advanced interest in Montségur and Catharism, both in the 1930s and now (see article 'The Strange Life of Otto Rahn: Author, Poet, Grail Seeker, SS Officer', in New Dawn No. 109, July-August 2008).

"

"Authors such as Walter Birks and R.A. Gilbert, as well as Elizabeth van Buren, have suggested the Cathars guarded a manuscript, knowledge - a spiritual treasure.

This manuscript is often said to be the 'Book of Love' and is linked with the Gospel of John, and is claimed to contain "sublime teachings, marvelous revelations, the most secret words confided by our Lord Jesus Christ to the beloved disciple [John the Evangelist].

SJG

Anyway, so we have this Deodat Roche, felt to be responsible for much of the 20th Century resurgence of interest in the Cathars. And he was part of this French Gnostic Church, with Jules Doniel.

Then we have this Dutch Rosicrucian Lectorium. Started by people who had been with the Oceanside Rosicrucian Fellowship of Max Heindel, Oceanside, CA. They ran it in the Netherlands, but in 1935 they separated, and then it really has come into its own in the years since WWII. They are completely focused on Cathars. But I am not finding any connection between the two groups, or their researchs into the Cathars.

We have this Emmanuel des Essarts, who would become a bishop in the Gnostic Church, but he had been a gov't employee and taken with the thinking of Charles Fourier.

en.wikipedia.org

en.wikipedia.org

7 April 1772 – 10 October 1837

He only lived to 1837, but he is considered an early socialist.

Fourier's social views and proposals inspired a whole movement of intentional communities. Among them in the United States were the community of Utopia, Ohio; La Reunion near present-day Dallas, Texas; the North American Phalanx in Red Bank, New Jersey; Brook Farm in West Roxbury, Massachusetts; the Community Place and Sodus Bay Phalanx in New York State, and several others. Later Fourier inspired a diverse array of revolutionary thinkers and writers.

On education, Fourier felt that "civilized" parents and teachers saw children as little idlers.[22] Fourier felt that this way of thinking was wrong. He felt that children as early as age two and three were very industrious.

Because of its editor, I am sure this is good:

And they have old paper piano rolls which Debussy played himself where he was double timing some measures, and this made it even closer to the Golden Section and Fibonacci Sequences.

This includes Stephan A, Hoeller of Los Angeles

seems to be 4 beat, Kansas City type.

So I had talked about my friend J., about 50yo, and with a very serious heart and fluid retention condition, and seemingly still using methamphetamine.

They were trying to send him to a psychiatrist, and I spoke out loud and clear discouraging that.

/discussion.php

So he side stepped the psychiatrist.

But about 6 weeks ago I saw the emergency vehicles at his apartment. I really feared for him. Then about two weeks ago someone told me he was in the hospital.

Very rare to keep anyone in the hospital for very long nowadays. So I figured he was probably in jail.

Met him today, no jail. He was in the hospital for over a month. His kidneys had almost failed and he was retaining lots of water. He came in there with a resting pulse rate of 139 per minute, and very high blood pressure.

To have that kind of pulse, all day and night, would drive anyone nuts, and they said it could be fatal.

They had to give him blood transfusions as he was becoming anemic. Real cause unknown.

Finally his pulse rate did come down.

"Grape Jelly like #2" was tearing up the insides of his intestines, and he shows yellowing of the eyes, a sign of jaundice and liver damage.

And of course street meth could have other stuff in it.

He told them that he had been using meth, when they asked about the heart rate. He said he stopped 4 days earlier because he wanted his test results to be clean.

He seems to understand that he must not use that, well sort of.

I remain concerned about him.

Elon Musk

www.amazon.com

So he is on now to his second company: PayPal

and he is starting on his first wife: Justina Wilson

But she has informed him, "I am your wife not your employee."

I have heard this idea before multiple times, and even had the same communication directed at me.

So both situations are tumultuous.

With his first company Zip2, it sold for $300 Meg. He cleared $22 Meg. He bought his first airplane, and a small nice condo, which he renovated. He also spent $1 Meg for a MacLaren F1, only 62 in the world. One of them belonging to Larry Ellison.

Most MacLaren owners save them for special purposes. But for Musk it is a daily drive. It is seen parked on the street and at Safeway, and birds shit on it.

From PayPal, it will sell to Ebay for $1.5 Gig, and Musk will clear $180 Meg after taxes.

But both of these first companies will have been tumultuous, with Musk generally loosing control. But remember, now he has $180 Meg, and he has just turned 30yo.

He did some jobs and internships in college, but post graduating, NO JOBS! And he basically started with nothing.

So this is really interesting. On to his third company, Space X, and his first wife, Justina Wilson.

So it is striking how much new material Musk had to master for each of these companies, in order to be able to chart out new territory. Always getting involved in things he had no real prior experience in.

First child died at the age of 10 weeks from SIDS.

So in the years which followed Justina gave birth to twins, followed by triplets. Might have been some medical technology involved in this. Sounds strange, strange response to death of first. Need to read more about this to better understand.

SJG

So reading about Elon Musk, having cleared $22 Meg from Zip2 and $180 Meg from PayPal, he was largely his own VC. He was getting into extremely ambitious things, like Space X. Months and months testing rocket engines on 300 acres in Texas, these usually exploding. Then out in the Marshall Islands, trying for a first launch. So many times having to back off as something was wrong, months and months.

Very competent people, but still approaching it with a shoot from the hip method, as is often the case with Silicon Valley startups.

Finally a launch, but it exploded after 25 seconds, debris fell back on the launch pad and into the water.

Then over a year later, one which really did get into orbit, but as the last of the fuel for the second stage was being used, it too exploded.

4 years in, and still no successful launches and no revenue, but lots of very capable people on the payroll. Few other than Musk would have tried this.

And then company 4, Tesla, the name having come from others, but Musk becoming the largest investor. Trying to build their Lotus based 2 seater, lots and lots of problems, but few would even be willing to risk the money, and the effort, besides Musk.

Musk was able to do this and sell cars, not because they were practical, but because he made having one into a status symbol.

And then with Model-S, so big, so expensive, even more so. Here they are all over the roadways.

And then the potential for batteries to explode, and exploring that.

They demoed the 2 seater, driving Arnold Schwarzenegger around in one. But they had to swap cars every 5 minutes because of over heating problems, and only one guy, the electric car expert, was authorized to drive them because they were actually very fragile.

SJG

^^^^ They recognized right off that a sports car is the way to go, not necessarily because of high top speed, but because of high acceleration at street legal speeds. And then the good aerodynamics are how you get the range.

So an SUV would be the worst. But this was before model X

SJG

So getting the Tesla Roaster going was extremely hard, 4 years, and still sinking.

Trying to manufacture motors and electronics in Taiwan and China. Lots of trouble. Trying to assemble battery packs in Thailand. There they use factory buildings which are just a concrete slab and 4 poles holding up a roof. They do this because of humid weather. But it is not clean enough. Eventually had to bring much of this back to LA.

France to make the plastic body panels, and Lotus in UK to make the frames.

All in all very complex and very costly. Wanted to sell for $85k. VC's sent very capable trouble shooter, found that cars would cost $200k to make.

Wanted to sell firm, the plan B, mostly for its intellectual property. But Elon held fast and really took over. They were going to slug it out. He also started shifting the talk to model S.

Lots of trouble with Roadster transmission. Mechanical transmission was to have 2 forward speeds.

UK firm was to design it. They did not expect any problems

www.xtrac.com

First one failed immediately, some failed at 150 miles. Best mean time between failures they ever got was 2000 miles.

Usually if done right, a from the ground up EV does not need multiple speeds.

But also, look at when Cadillac was making FWD transverse, they had it so the differential and the automatic transmission were entire concentric. Really interesting.

Cadillac is back to rear wheel drive not, but I suspect that those transaxles are still used for Buick and Chevrolet.

EV still needs differential. With out without mulitple gears, it could all be made concentric with a dry electric motor.

Anyway, Tesla had to redesign much of the vehicle to get it meet the high acceleration specs with just one forward gear.

Tesla did not work much with Detroit, believing that they knew better. But auto industry firm hired found 14 separate problems with the 2 speed mechanical transmission, each being able to cause premature failure.

Zip2 and Paypay short fused, giving Musk $22 meg and $180 meg respectively. But Space X and Tesla being long term yield. Musk actually has to work every day to make these go. He is not just gambling, he is solving the problems.

I laugh at some of the imbeciles on this board who talk about gambling on the stock market, making trades with really no info to speak of, as proof that they 'have the balls'.

SJG

So Musk likes to do concrete factor floors in high gloss epoxy, very light grey. How much $, how hard to do, what about concrete cracks? Then white paint on the walls. Makes it look up beat, no real line between factory and office.

I would still say you need some carpet to reduce noise. Musk uses cubicles, these have some sound dampening.

Musk has this J. B. Straubel, one of the most hands on experienced EV people on the planet. Knows batteries, motors, electronics, and everything else need to build a car.

www.straubel.com

Built 944 EV

Gary Lachman, writes great books, this about the late Colin Wilson, whom he knew quite well. Lachman is about the only one I would trust to write about Wilson.

www.amazon.com

So Wilson completed his first novel, "Ritual In The Dark", but it was not published until later, and after a total re-write. It is about the nature of sex.

Wilson's first published work was "The Outsider" 1956.

www.amazon.com

Some time after that he started calling his non-fiction works, "The New Existentialism" There were about 6 of them. This was before he took to writing about murder and the occult.

en.wikipedia.org

So just to call attention to some of this non-fiction

Religion and the Rebel (1957)

Origins of the Sexual Impulse (1963)

Beyond the Outsider (1965)

and then there is this, as people challenged Wilson on the idea of there being female outsiders:

Outline of the Female Outsider (1994)

Except for the above, its all available in libraries.

In The outsider Wilson starts out talking about:

www.amazon.com

en.wikipedia.org

Barbusse was a member of the French Communist Party

Originally Wilson proclaimed himself a supporter of Socialism, because his hero, George Bernard Shaw was a Socialist.

But then upon researching Shaw to write about him, Wilson took exception to Shaw's arguments, so Wilson never again supported Socialism. And Wilson took exception to those of the London Left, like John Obrien "Look Back In Anger".

Also discussion of H. G. Wells, and in particular his last work:

en.wikipedia.org

"Wells's extensive writings on equality and human rights, most notably his most influential work, The Rights of Man (1940), laid the groundwork for the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was adopted by the United Nations shortly after his death."

Hard to write such a book and do a good job up through the 19th century physics. If you do, not room for relativity, quantum mechanics, nuclear and high energy physics, or astrophysics. Modern physics just does not fit without making it way way too big.

Not finding much in libraries about Martinism. People talking about Nag Hammadi and Valentinian versus Sethian Gnostics. Might fit,but certainly not part of historical Martinism

The Martinist uses two “books” in this work: one is the Book of Nature and the other the Book of Humanity

www.scribd.com

An AMORC booklet, 22 pages, links to others.

The two books of Martinism are similar. One, “The Book of Man,” contains the truths of the little world, or microcosm. The other, “The Book of Nature,” explains the universe, the great world, or macrocosm. Martinism states that in man’s original and superior existence both

doesn't seem to be in libraries, but the books exist.

notice A. E. Waite and Robert Ambelain

A. E. Waite has written lots of books. Some like him, some do not. But there is:

The unknown philosopher; the life of Louis Claude de Saint-Martin and the substance of his transcendental doctrine

The secret societies of all ages and countries / a comprehensive account of upwards of one hundred and sixty secret organizations--religious, political, and social--from the most remote ages down to the present time, by Charles William Heckethorn.

So it looks like to learn about Martinism, A. E. Waite will be the way to go. Any other texts would be found online. Not sure if I am going to read them now, or if I am going to start with Eliphas Levi. I think Eliphas Levi, but Waite is one of his translators.

So what seems to be available of Eliphas Levi, and some translated from French by A. E. Waite

Transcendental Magic (1856)

The History Of Magic (1860)

The Great Secret; or Occultism Unveiled (1868)

The mysteries of the Qabalah, or, The occult agreement of the two testaments. Talks about Ezekiel and Revelations

SJG

So as there are not that many books available about Martinism, and because Matinism predates the 19th Century Eliphas Levi, let me look to it first:

Three famous mystics: Saint-Martin / by Arthur Edward Waite ... Jacob Boehme, by W.P. Swainson; Swedenborg, by W.P. Swainson. (1940)

The unknown philosopher; the life of Louis Claude de Saint-Martin and the substance of his transcendental doctrine (1970 R. Steiner Publications )
