An image containing a text quotation. The text, from William James, Varieties of Religious Experience, a Study in Human Nature. Quoted in Robert Ornstein and Sally Ornstein, God 4.0: On the Nature of Higher Consciousness and the Experience Called “God”, reads: Beyond the Veil: “Our normal waking consciousness, rational consciousness as we call it, is but one special type of consciousness, whilst all about it, parted from it by the filmiest of screens, there lie potential forms of consciousness entirely different. We may go through life without suspecting their existence; but apply the requisite stimulus, and at a touch they are there in all their completeness, definite types of mentality which probably somewhere have their field of application and adaptation.”

~ Paul Levy, Wetiko: Healing the Mind-Virus That Plagues Our World.
Image containing a text quotation, with a multi-coloured swirling pattern in the lower left-hand corner. The text, from Paul Levy, Wetiko: Healing the Mind-Virus That Plagues Our World, reads: Collective Psychosis “A contagious psycho-spiritual disease of the soul, a parasite of the mind, is currently being acted out en masse on the world stage via an insidious collective psychosis of titanic proportions. This mind-virus—which Native Americans have called “wetiko”—covertly operates through the unconscious blind spots in the human psyche, rendering people oblivious to their own madness and compelling them to act against their own best interests. Wetiko is a psychosis in the true sense of the word, “a sickness of the spirit.”

“It's not enough to withdraw from society and seek your own salvation, your own individuation. The individuator must return to society (collectivity) to contribute his or her new insights, his or her new values, which must be at least equal to if not greater than the norm.”

Image containing a text quotation, with the word "LOVE" in light blue and the "O" made into a ban-the-bomb peace sign, in the lower left-hand corner. The text, from Eugene McCarraher, The Enchantments of Mammon: How Capitalism Became the Religion of Modernity, reads: “Demanding release from the Apollonian prison of instrumental rationality, the counterculture [of the 1960s] beckoned to Orpheus and Dionysus unbound, a gemeinschaft of festivity, pleasure, and mysticism embodied in communes, rock concerts, “be-ins,” handicrafts, and organic farming. Sponsoring a profusion of experiments in consciousness, it practiced “expressive individualism,” in Robert Bellah’s words, another Romantic celebration of unrestrained feeling and sensuality.”

A tweet from Hemant Mehta showing a disturbing tweet by Dale Partridge which lists several Christian Nationalist desires. It reads: "Restoring America requires us to: 1. Submit to Christ. 2. Attend Church Weekly. 3. Close Commerce on Sundays. 4. Mass Deportations of Pagans. 5. Outlaw Islam, Hinduism, and Judaism. 6. Outlaw Abortion and Homosexuality. 7. Repeal the 19th. We can do this in 10–16 years." Note that the 19th Amendment gave women the vote nationwide.

“We have reason. It is the entire meaning and purpose of Shangri-La. It came to me in a vision long, long ago. I foresaw a time when man exalting in the technique of murder, would rage so hotly over the world, that every book, every treasure would be doomed to destruction ...”

~ James Hilton.
An image containing a text quotation, with a white lotus blossom and green leaves at the bottom, in the centre. The text, from James Hilton, Lost Horizon (1933), reads: The Reason For Being: “We have reason. It is the entire meaning and purpose of Shangri-La. It came to me in a vision long, long ago. I foresaw a time when man exalting in the technique of murder, would rage so hotly over the world, that every book, every treasure would be doomed to destruction. This vision was so vivid and so moving that I determined to gather together all things of beauty and culture that I could and preserve them here against the doom toward which the world is rushing. Look at the world today. Is there anything more pitiful? What madness there is! What blindness! A scurrying mass of bewildered humanity crashing headlong against each other. The time must come, my friend, when brutality and the lust for power must perish by its own sword. For when that day comes, the world must begin to look for a new life. And it is our hope that they may find it here.”
