Warning! The following article contains dangerous amounts of freshness. Too much freshness has been known to explode the brain.
The Gathering of the Juggalos has been Galactivated (see the video below).
The Gathering of the Juggalos is an annual underground music festival taking place in Cave In Rock, Illinois.
Cave in Rock is a nexus point of geomantic energies. It is the point at which Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, and Arkansas conjoin in continental bliss. The Cave has traditionally been a hideout for river pirates, counterfeiters, serial killers, highwaymen and various other outlaw types.
It is also one of several entrances to the legendary city of Agartha inside the Hollow Earth.
The Juggalos (and Juggalettes) are an active sect of Rust Belt gnostics operating in the blighted suburbs of America’s Midwest.
The architecture of their gnosis is defined by the Dark Carnival, a revelation of the afterlife illuminated by the Juggalo prophet Violent J. The Dark Carnival was revealed to Violent J in a dream and expounded upon through a series of six albums. Each album embodies an archetype and relays a gospel of morality. Together the six albums make up the deck of Joker Cards.
The Joker Cards, like the Tarot, are used as a tool of divination and meditation among Juggalos on their path of gnosis. The archetypes of the Joker Cards include the Carnival of Carnage, the Ringmaster, the Riddle Box, The Great Milenko, the Amzaing Jeckel Brothers, and The Wraith (Death). The entities characterized in the Joker Cards are spirits that “try to save the human soul by showing the wickedness inside one’s self”.
“When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner like the outer and the outer like the inner, and the upper like the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male will not be male nor the female be female, when you make eyes in place of an eye, a hand in place of a hand, a foot in place of a foot, an image in place of an image, then you will enter [The Dark Carnival].”
Through the cultivation of the Wicked Shit (their word for mana force) Juggalos are able to transcend their individuality and enter into a state a macrocosmic collective consciousness. Using the mantra “FAM-A-LEE” huge crowds of Juggalos can pool their consciousness into a non-linear energetic mass capable of contacting Galactic Races and generating huge amounts of garbage.
A sacramental baptism by Faygo (a holy corn-based beverage) is necessary for a candidate to become initiated into the Juggalo sect. Faygo is explosively distributed by the gnostic prophets Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope during their Insane Clown Posse concerts.
The Unveiling is the ultimate statement of Juggalo gnosis. The video below illustrates both the meaning and intent of the Juggalo prophets and their connection to the gnostic godhead.
All we’re doing is pointing this shit out to you, we in this together!
Who’s behind the Dark Carnival, thet Gatherings and the Hatchet?
Who’s beind Dark Lotus, the circus and everybody at it?
Who inveted Juggalos and Juggalette and fuckin Faygo showers?
What about that feeling you get when bumping our shit, who’s behind these Juggalo powers?
This ain’t no fuckin fan club
It aint about making a buck.
Don’t buy our fuckin action figures, bitch, I dont give a fuck.
It aint About Violent J or Shaggy, the Butterfly or seventeen.
When we speak of Shangri-La, what you think we mean?
Truth is we follow GOD
We’ve always been behind him
The Dark Carnival is GOD and may all Juggalos find him!
See you at the Gathering my ninjas!
TEDx Cardiff has an excellent talk on how Google can be qualified as a conscious entity. Drawing parallels between Google search functions and the ability to gain plant information from the DMT-ayahuasca search engine, the speakers show that consciousness is not only a property of living organisms.
In the meme “Google Consciousness” – we could say that if each neuron is a machine, then likewise each computer or website in the world can function like a neuron. Yet each of these neurons is also connected to one of us, a ‘meta neuron’ in comparison that is also an intrinsic agent of the ‘internet’. The internet is the ever expanding exchange of information between humans and machines.
We use the machines to display our ideas, many of them which naturally are also engaged in a competition for truth values. Our content is used to communicate various levels of information meaning (semantics), only with which the human agents can experience or determine while we assume the machines cannot.
Part of collective intelligence is indeed extremely conscious because each of us is extremely conscious. Yet none of us as individuals controls the internet, the process, the flow, the internet itself is run by unconscious machines in combination with a collection of conscious agents. Just like us as individuals.
And these conscious agents in turn maybe run by the very same process that the unconscious machines are… an algorithm something like Google search.
To clarify: In materialism Google’s algorithm and the collection of behaviors it governs both human and machine may be a contender for consciousness. If dualism as a model of consciousness is true, then Google could be considered conscious anyway since everything could have consciousness.
That the Google algorithm also ironically enough provides a description to how the Ayahuasceros of the Peruvian Upper Amazon claim to access plant consciousness is an entirely other rabbit hole. We highlight this in the talk to describe the distinctions between a dualistic model of consciousness and a materialistic model of consciousness.
The ultimate irony is that both of these models of consciousness which completely contradict one another, share a metaphor in common – Google.
This is an absolutely fascinating talk and asks the question: are spirits metaphors for memes?
Meanwhile the rise of Internet search engines like Google has changed the way our brain remembers information, according to research by Columbia University psychologist Betsy Sparrow.
Sparrow’s research reveals that we forget things we are confident we can find on the Internet. We are more likely to remember things we think are not available online. And we are better able to remember where to find something on the Internet than we are at remembering the information itself. This is believed to be the first research of its kind into the impact of search engines on human memory organization…

This presentation by Courtney Brown, Ph.D. from The Farsight Institute was made at the 29th Annual Meeting of the Society for Scientific Exploration.
Courtney Brown presents a theory and data exploring the idea of describing the future with respect to multiple realities or alternate timelines. The remote-viewing data constitute one of the largest collections of such data for a single project using structured remote-viewing platforms that were developed by the U.S. military.
Two timelines are explored, with both suggesting potentially catastrophic climatic change by June 2013.
The Farsight Institute conducted a Climate Project that utilized remote-viewing data with Earth-based targets for the years 2008 and 2013. Two remote-viewing methodologies (CRV and HRVG) and eight highly trained remote viewers were involved in the study.
The primary purpose of the study is to explore the use of remote viewing to predict the future given certain conditions. All remote-viewing sessions were completed prior to the target date for the 2008 targets. All targets were randomly assigned to the remote-viewing sessions using a publicly verifiable process after the remote-viewing sessions were completed, data encrypted, and all data made available for public download from the web site for The Farsight Institute. The remote-viewing data thereby described the 2008 targets in advance of the targets being chosen for the sessions, an unambiguous and successful example of prediction using nonlocal consciousness.
The targets were chosen using Google Earth, focusing on targets which might be expected to show signs of noticeable near-term environmental change within the time span of the study.
In this study, the 2013 targets probe two different future timelines, one in which mainstream science recognizes the existence of remote viewing as a real phenomenon as well as the existence of some form of extraterrestrial life, and another timeline in which this recognition does not occur.
The rationale behind the two timelines is that the near future may be significantly different under the contrasting scenarios. This presentation outlines the surprising results of this study. This study follows a highly successful year-long parallel study also conducted at The Farsight Institute that explicitly tests for the existence of multiple realities or timelines (the Multiple Universes Project).
Douglas Rushkoff revisits the prophecy of his early 90′s book Cyberia in terms of “reality hacking” – magic via programming.
Programming reality is now possible but requires people to actually learn programming.
Rushkoff expounds “if you’re not writing the software you are the software.”
The video below is mandatory viewing for anyone interested in reconfiguring reality or navigating consciousness.
In addition to the video, Technoccult has an excellent bumper interview.
Consensus reality can be physically reprogrammed if we understand the programming language. This is basic magic for a digital world.
Rushkoff’s new book is Program or Be Programmed: 10 Commandments for a Digital Age
The 10 Commandments of the Digital Age
1. Thou shall not be always on – Resist the temptation to always being on. Turn your phone off occasionally.
2. Thou shall not do from a distance what can be done in person – Some powerful global brands can become weak at a local level.
3. Exalt the particular – Not everything scales or needs to scale.
4. You may always choose none of the above – Don’t tick the gay/straight/married/single boxes. Human beings are more complex than the simple choices
5. Thou shall never be completely right – The internet verses complexities
6. Thou shall not be anonymous – Anonymity has lead to the conversation being well thought out by those who choose to sign in against the hatred spat out by the anonymous
7. Contact is king – Social marketing is an oxymoron.
8. Abstraction – Don’t confuse abstract models and the real world.
9. Thou shall not steal – Without a social contract, openness can continue until there is nothing left to give things away.
10. Program or be programmed – We should ask ‘What can we make it do?” rather than “What can it do for us?”.

Iceland produces some of the most beautiful and unique music in the world. The 2005 documentary Screaming Masterpiece takes a look at the ancient, magical roots of Icelandic music and the genius of Iceland’s contemporary musicians. The film includes live footage of Sigur Ros, Bjork, mum, Johann Johannsson, and many others.
Similarly beautiful and unique is Icelandic culture’s magical system of runic sigils (or staves).
Follow this link to a full directory of staves for later use.
The stave below is the Vegvísir, a symbol used to navigate to safe harbor in bad weather. An ancient Icelandic manuscript says “if this sign is carried, one will never lose one’s way in storms or bad weather, even when the way is not known”
Now have a look at this crop circle from 2009.
The people of Iceland are subject to incredibly harsh environmental conditions, dangers at sea, catastrophic volcanic activity, supernatural interactions with the huldufolk (invisible ‘Hidden Folk’ living inside rocks) and possible gateways to the cities of Shamballa and Agartha within the Hollow Earth. As such they have developed a highly advanced magical system of sigils to aid in protection, fertility, prosperity and access to remote realms.
Speaking of hidden worlds beneath Iceland, a recent study of the North Atlantic has discovered an ancient submerged landscape. The flooded land is complete with rivers and mountains,
The burning scientific question, according to White, is what made this landscape rise up, then subside within 2.5 million years? “From a geological perspective, that is a very short period of time,” he said.
Although Atlantis is pretty far of the mark, there is a chance that this near polar, underwater landscape may be connected with the mythical realm of Hyperborea
So how does one put all this information to use? It’s a simple recipe – consecrate your space, play some Icelandic music from the film that moves you, pick or create a sigil for safe navigation, and go on a voyage to realms unseen.
Let us know how it turns out. Sweet dreams.

Vigilant Citizen has put together an eerie and educational list of the 10 Most Sinister PsyOps mission patches.
Mission patches are used by military and space organizations to identify, symbolize and describe a mission’s objectives and its crew. This tradition is also observed in the shady world of PSYOPS where each secret mission of the Pentagon gets its patch. These patches offer a rare glimpse into the Pentagon’s secret operations and the symbolism on them is rather striking: ominous and cryptic phrases, dark occult symbolism, references to secret societies, and sometimes even a rather dark sense of humor.
Highlights include the alien task force patch above who’s Latin inscription translates to “Let them hate so long as they fear.”
On this dragon themed patch, the phrase “Omnis Vestri Substructio Es Servus Ad Nobis” can be translated to “All your base are servant to us”.
And here we have a cheery little snake motif with the Latin slogan “Nunquam Ante Numquam Iterum” translating to “Never before, never again.”
- F. Scott Fitzgerald
Is the universe a hologram?
In a beautiful twist of science, physicsists are saying the universe may not be a hologram after all.
Then again, it might be a holographic proof to prove holography wrong.
Either way, it’s the truest fiction of all.
“The world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it’s real because that’s how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and it’s very brightly colored, and it’s very loud, and it’s fun for a while. Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, “Hey, is this real, or is this just a ride?” And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, “Hey, don’t worry; don’t be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride.” And we … kill those people. “Shut him up! I’ve got a lot invested in this ride, shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real.” It’s just a ride. But we always kill the good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok … But it doesn’t matter, because it’s just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It’s only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here’s what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.”
- Bill Hicks
