…mean, people just thought what they thought and let the chips fall where they may. And every once in a while, a Christ or a Mohammed or a Buddha would come along and reshuffle the deck, and then the game would play on. But we are coming to the place,…
…This was the founder of what is called materialism, rationalism. His marching orders were given to him in the same way that Mohammed got his marching orders. All of modern science was created at the behest of an angelic entity. Well, they're not talking…
…of Christ, who was an extraordinary manifestation of energy in the historical time stream, not to be confused with a Buddha or a Mohammed or a Zoroaster, who were great saints. And it was something else. It was, in some sense, what it claimed to be, but…
…who was deputy syndic of the brokers and was given to the use of opium and electuary and green hashish. He was called sheikh Mohammed Samsam and being poor he used to wish shams al din good morrow every day. So he came to him according to his custom…
…is the thinness of thy seed. So I have been seeking a something wherewith to thicken my semen, but not found it. Quoth sheikh Mohammed: O my lord I have a seed thickener, but what wilt thou say to him who causeth thy wife to conceive by thee after…
…now, and people say well white noise is doing this, that's an explanation and you know. Or you look at historical phenomena: Mohammed it turns out spoke in verse and it was considered a sign of election. Glossolalia with shaman is not that rare spirit…
…about this point is that when you raise, when you look at the resonance remember I said there were resonance it's the birth of Mohammed the very day the very day was the birth of Mohammed. So now you've got to understand. See this thing is static it's…
…resonance remember I said there were resonance it's the birth of Mohammed the very day the very day was the birth of Mohammed. So now you've got to understand. See this thing is static it's feeding this stuff but there's no human interaction. Once you…
…it means is it was time for Islam to make a major forward stride, and once it was Saddam. I mean once it was Mohammed and the next time Saddam. Well then remember the period of breastbeating and moving armies around and all that that went on until it…
…skills of their historical time and place, and then they come back with a story about what it is. Buddha says this, Mohammed says this, Christ says this these are lower dimensional slices of this transcendental object at the end of history. What it is…
…epochs. That's why we're on the brink of a dark age but the dark age will be over by 1993. Then there is this Mohammed Analog and then in 1996 the analogous event related to the discovery of the new world, the Columbus Moment comes and then sometime…
…trough, why enough is enough? Then in 92, you see we probe deeper levels of novelty. Then there's a recidivist movement there's the Mohammed thing in late 95. These are the real dates. There's the new world thing in 2005 and then in 2009, the European…
…invaded Kuwait right at the bottom of this trough in the 67 year cycle, in the 4 306 year cycle. On the money, Mohammed is born right there. Mohammed was born in the resonance calendar, the 1st of august of this year, the hegira well, Mohammed was…
…the bottom of this trough in the 67 year cycle, in the 4 306 year cycle. On the money, Mohammed is born right there. Mohammed was born in the resonance calendar, the 1st of august of this year, the hegira well, Mohammed was born in 571, 571, and the…
…money, Mohammed is born right there. Mohammed was born in the resonance calendar, the 1st of august of this year, the hegira well, Mohammed was born in 571, 571, and the hegira occurred in 622. We haven't reached it yet. It's down here. This is the…
…what Wordsworth called intimations of immortality, haunt time like a ghost and so if you're a buddha, a Mahavira, a Christ a Mohammed, you get essentially again it's a geometric theory you are simply geometrically positioned vis a vis the object at the end…
…than any of us actually might wish to be congealed. It is first of all it becomes poetry, you know and for instance, Mohammed spoke in poetry and this is a symptom of election, of shamanic election: the ability to speak in poetry. But what can happen…
…now this spot is interesting. This spot, the bottom of this little trough here on the next higher level is the birth of Mohammed. The exact resonance date here of the birth of Mohammed is august 3 1990. Saddam Hussein seizes Kuwait on the day of the…
…this little trough here on the next higher level is the birth of Mohammed. The exact resonance date here of the birth of Mohammed is august 3 1990. Saddam Hussein seizes Kuwait on the day of the resonance of Mohammed's Birth and Mohammed died. Did he…
…of the birth of Mohammed is august 3 1990. Saddam Hussein seizes Kuwait on the day of the resonance of Mohammed's Birth and Mohammed died. Did he know that over here? No no, they never know. Mohammed died here. So here's the seizure of Kuwait then…
…on the day of the resonance of Mohammed's Birth and Mohammed died. Did he know that over here? No no, they never know. Mohammed died here. So here's the seizure of Kuwait then remember all the breast beating and the moving of troops around and all that…
…day, every year, every century is a recapitulation or an anticipation of the highest cycle of time. So a Christ, a buddha, a Mohammed is simply a person who stood in a certain geometric relationship to the object at the end of time. You know how you…
…As an example, the day Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait I rushed to the computer to check the resonance. Resonance: birth of Mohammed same same couldn't differentiate so clearly and so what happened in both cases is that people in a certain part of…
…of the world made an enormous surge forward into self expression if you want and the whole gulf war crisis paralleled the life of Mohammed. And when Mohammed died the war was over. It was born at the resonance of his birth and it was completed at the…

…down right there on the money on the day right there okay that little saddle there the absolute resonance to the birth of Mohammed. It's the day Saddam Hussein invades Kuwait. This is the only original idea that I have ever come up with. The REST is…
…object and at greater and lesser distances are all the people who have ever lived and if you are a buddha, a Christ a Mohammed, a guru, somebody or other and you are what that means is that you have been struck by a scintilla of reflection from the…
…normal and people say: well white noise is doing this that's an explanation and you know or you look at historical phenomena: Mohammed it turns out spoke in verse and it was considered a sign of election. Glossolalia with shaman is not that rare spirit…
…and a David Koresh. It's a mess it's a very distorted and twisted kind of reflection. A Christ, a buddha, a Mohammed a slightly cleaner shot at what it is but nevertheless horribly distorted and misunderstood by historical contextuality. I was wondering if…
…are different from the classical reports in the literature, with the wings the guardian and so on. I was very struck with Mohammed the prophet, his angel. It was angel Gabriel that appeared to him with all the wings and everything and gave him very…
…This is an extraordinary example of history itself being radically affected by an angelic visitation, similar to the angelic visitation to Mohammed that Ralph mentioned. So I think it's wrong to assume that the angels confine their activities to the world of…
…your activity so that you become a mean spreader then you're suddenly a messiah, a teacher, a buddha, a Christ, a Mohammed. That's what these people were. They were people who were, for reasons mysterious to themselves I'm sure, in a relationship of…
…normal and people say well white noise is doing this, that's an explanation, and you know. Or you look at historical phenomena: Mohammed, it turns out spoke in verse and it was considered a sign of election. Glossolalia with shaman is not that rare spirit…
…then you are pulled down because every belief has consequences. I mean a perfect example is as some of you may know, when Mohammed ascended into heaven from the site of what was to become the Mosque of Omar from the site of the Temple of Solomon…
…of Omar from the site of the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem. He happened to be on horseback. Well, if you believe Mohammed ascended into heaven, imagine the theological and hermeneutic problems posed by the horse he was riding because it went with him.…
…what Wordsworth called intimations of immortality haunt time like a ghost. And so if you're a buddha, a Mahavira, a Christ a Mohammed, you get essentially again it's a geometric theory you are simply geometrically positioned vis a vis the object at the end…
…how that looks that ends right there. Okay now look here. August 3, 1990 there's where Saddam Hussein invades Kuwait. It's also where Mohammed is born one level up I can get higher and lower resonances simply by touching I here we haven't done that but…
…of Christ, who was an extraordinary manifestation of energy in the historical time stream not to be confused with a buddha or a Mohammed or a Zoroaster who were great saints, and it was something else it was in some sense what it claimed to be, but…
…in that world. And history really is this process of trying to generate a guiding image that serves. And so someone Christ Mohammed, Buddha will project the guiding image and it gels in the unconscious and becomes a creode and a vast set of historical…
…absolute bullshit. There is a sort of fair play and if you can get in touch with that in your life you know when Mohammed Wouldn't come to the mountain, the mountain came to Mohammed. That's fair play and if you can have that perception, the world will…
…if you can get in touch with that in your life you know when Mohammed Wouldn't come to the mountain, the mountain came to Mohammed. That's fair play and if you can have that perception, the world will begin to work for you. It will begin to move…
…have that perception, the world will begin to work for you. It will begin to move toward you as the mountain moved toward Mohammed. The mushroom said to me once: nature loves courage, nature loves courage and I said: what's the payoff on that? And it…
…could almost have a geometric theory of messiahhood and just say, if you were in the big league, the buddha, Christ Mohammed, Mani, Mahavira League then you just caught a very bright reflection from the distant spinning eschaton, and then you embodied it…
…Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait That's where he invaded Kuwait it tells us that the resonant date is 579. The date for the birth of Mohammed is 571. So when you move it to 571, it's only off by that much. So what this means is that this situation in…
…to the date, the resonance which corresponds with the 25th of November, It's 599. The hegira was in 622 down there, and then Mohammed Didn't live much longer after that but the gains of Islam were all put in place. I mean this is the great gradient…
…of next year? It corresponds to the 30th of March. The 30th of March corresponds to the hegira and the subsequent death of Mohammed. So what it means is that in the way that history is both a plotted and unconscious process, we have managed to stumble…
…January, having come from clear up here as recently as the 25th of November where is this email? If we were allowed to write to Mohammed I, then where would we end up in 2021, 2012? Oh well then it all comes together see I mean like in late 2011 we…
…of Christ, who was an extraordinary manifestation of energy in the historical time stream, not to be confused with a buddha or a Mohammed or a Zoroaster who were great saints and it was something else. It was in some sense what it claimed to be, but…
…people who were as ordinary as you and me except for their perspective on the eschaton. And these were the biggies. Christ, Buddha, Mohammed Every single one of us, from Joe Shako guru to you and me, we all have a perspective on the eschaton. It's…
