Why America… why did you choose the Orange Ignorant Again?
On November 5, 2024, by the slimmest of margins, Americans made a fatal decision. Donald tRump and his reality star-studded cast of clowns were given back the reigns of power of the most powerful country in the world.
November 5 marks a drastic decline for the USA. The choice Americans made that day shows the world that a slim majority of Americans are perfectly fine with:
Consuming mountain loads of misinformation and calling it reality;
Putting their needs, their beliefs, their biases above everyone’s else; and
Gladly giving power to rapists, pedophiles and sex offenders, misogynists, racists, fascists, cheaters, deceivers, liars, and basically the Basket of Deplorables (or another word for them is Fools) that Hillary Clinton aptly classified Trump voters as being back in 2016.
If we can even recover from this tragic state of affairs, to regain even a small amount of normalcy in this country again, Americans by the bucket loads need to feed their minds with potent, powerful archetypal food. Archetypes are what make it possible to be conscious. Without awareness of them and how they impact us, we are doomed to our bad karma and collective fate, which at this point is really not looking good at all (except if you’re living in the Upside Down… then, you are having a hay day, until… BOOM… consequences hit!
Rise of Creepy Sycophantsin Corporate Media
And corporate America, left leaning or right leaning, has a lot of accounting for this fatal choice, a choice fueled by the love of money.
Corporate Media treats Trump and his campaign of if it were a legitimate player in American politics. It is not legitimate. It is insane. But rather than reporting on the insanity, they gave precious air-time to Trump’s sycophants, brown-nosers, teacher’s pets, suck-ups, flunkeys, bootlickers, toadies, minions, and parasites.
One is featured below.
Entertaining Ourselves to Death
Really CNN?! You think Americans need more performance reality in the wake of the defeat of intelligence, sanity, along with measured and judicious action!
Trump and MAGA know moment like these get CLICKS and VIEWS
I read this book in 1985, but Americans haven’t learned a damned thing since then. Indeed, ignorance has only deepened and grown worse than what Neil Postman warned us about.
And, oh wait, you did read it. You give an endorsement of it:
“It’s unlikely that Trump has ever read Amusing Ourselves to Death, but his ascent would not have surprised Postman.” – CNN
But you didn’t understand a thing Postman said. Because now, you, CNN is one of the worst offenders of what Postman warned us about in his book. Fox of course is so full of amusing itself and its viewers, it can’t even be called a News Show anymore. Rather, Fox is a gateway to the long rabbit hole into ignorance, hate, deceit, criminality, and fascist radicalization into the MAGA Cult.
Here are some of the reasons you, CNN, contributed to Trump’s sweeping victory:
Token Republican My Ass — Scott has gone full out, mad man MAGA
CNN keep Scott on because moments like this GET CLICKS and VIEWS!!!!
And This Scene leads to More CLICKS, CLICKS, CLICKS and VIEWS … because there is nothing that a MAGA Maniac likes better than to watch a helpless mommy trying to put a wayward, bad boy in his place… and better yes, watching this mommy give up and self-destruct with plastic surgery and lots of boozes–like tRump’s first wife Ivana Marie Trump
ALL THAT GLITTERS Ivana Trump in 1986 at Mar-a-Lago, which she restored. By Norman Parkinson / Iconic Images.
Ivana Marie Zelníčková escaped from behind the Iron Curtain to storm New York City and help create the twisted miracle of Donald Trump. From her “greed is good” heyday to her post-divorce denouement cavorting with a series of “freaky” Italian lovers, it was Ivana, all along, who gilded the Trump name.
Until she didn’t. Some said she began to aspire to things he despised: society, charity boards, fashion shows, grand balls, and grand people. “The phonies,” Trump called them. “He didn’t want a copilot,” one longtime Trump observer will later say. “He wanted a cheerleader.”
Soon, the cameras shone more on her and less on him, “and he was not going to have it,” said Adams.
The divorce sweeps the world. A tawdry romance novel sprung to life, it opens with Trump and his mistress Marla Maples creasing the sheets in Trump-owned hotels. Everyone seems to know except Ivana.
“I always stand by the man,” she says.
Now she is standing in the three-bedroom suite in the Little Nell Hotel in Aspen. It is the Christmas holiday of 1989, and Ivana, at 40, has been reborn via a makeover by the renowned cosmetic surgeon Steve Hoefflin. She’s had “a face-lift, a bosom inflation, and heaven only knows what else,” wrote Liz Smith, who didn’t recognize the new Ivana—until she spoke.
Inside the suite, she picks up a landline and hears her husband on the extension speaking to a local real estate agent about someone whose name she hasn’t heard before.
“Who is Moolah?” she demands.
“Well, that’s a girl who has been going after me for the last two years,” Trump replies.
Somehow, Trump has juggled Ivana and the 26-year-old Maples at holiday parties, keeping them separate and seemingly satisfied. But his luck runs out at Bonnie’s, the rustic lunch spot at the top of Aspen Mountain. He’s sitting with Marla and some friends when Ivana walks in, trailed by Don Jr., Ivanka, and Eric.
Marla, in a black ski suit, approaches Ivana, in red and pink, and delivers a line that, as an aspiring actor, she has surely rehearsed: “I’m Marla and I love your husband. Do you?”
In an instant, Ivana replies: “Get lost. I love my husband.”
Then, as she has done all her life, Ivana charges. Not at Moolah—at The Donald. “We were halfway through lunch, and she’s coming toward us, screaming, ‘You no good son of a bitch!’ ” says someone who was at Trump’s table. Trump intercepts her halfway across the crowded room. “And she’s just flailing on him.” (Asked for comment, Marla Maples did not respond.)
They exit and the lunch crowd rises as one to watch from the deck. “He clicks into his skis and you could tell that she’s looking at him, like, ‘Really? You’re going to try to ski away from me?’ ” He tries, but she is fast on his tail. Back at the Little Nell, Ivana hurls her husband’s clothes and Rolex watch out of the windows of their suite and into the snow.
Next comes the unthinkable, at least for Trump. Everyone seems to side with her.
Don’t let me stop the story, go to Vanity Fair. Read the whole article.
Ivana’s rise is indeed much more impressive than The Donald’s. But the MAGA-verse, which we have all ended up living inside since Nov. 5, 2024, is absolutely horrible to older, formerly glamorous and fabulous women.
Ivana’s Fall… literally… is devastating. And now, she lies in an unmarked grave somewhere in an unkempt part of tRump’s golf course.

But We Still Need More…
…because the main battlefield is not happening on the outside in our shared world. The main battlefield is being fought on the inside, inside our minds.
If we are going to win this fight, then we (the sane and intelligent Americans still standing) need to get a lot more serious about how images and archetypes workd… because Lord knows the MAGAs certainly have!
The MAGAs are winning because they have tapped into ancient, magnetic, and powerful forms of thought and primitive thinking. They probably don’t even know exactly what they have tapped into. They only know that it is working.
Republican Party strategist and political pollster Patrick Ruffin discussed trends from the 2024 election at the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity’s annual “Freedom and Progress” conference in Washington, D.C. Topics included strengths and weaknesses of the Trump and Harris campaigns, the economy as a key election issue, the pivot in diversity within the GOP, and how the electorate interpreted the character of each candidate.
And of course, Trump himself is a lightening rod. Trump certainly cannot talk the language of the mind, but he has an instinct for how to tap into the ancient, primitive parts of the human mind and how to manipulate the masses.
Sapience: The Moment Is Now
My book, Sapience: The Moment Is Now, goes into great detail about these ancient, primitive, powerful parts of the human mind.
unfortunately, my book seems beyond the mental capabilities of most causal readers. It is too long, too complicated, goes over too much human history.
2024
Well, dear humans of Earth, if we don’t understand our shared collective history… we are doomed to repeat it over and over and over again. And that is exactly what we are doing right now in 2024.
In fact, I have a Chapter titled 2024. If nothing else, buy my book (or contact me and I’ll send you a free copy) and start at Chapter 2024.
If we don’t understand our own minds, we are doomed on this planet.
The Trump Contagion that Dr. Bandy talks about is called The Corruption in my book. It is the same thing and humanity has been dealing with it for an awfully long time, except now, we can create a species ending situation with men such as Trump, Putin, and Musk.
Attempting to make my book a bit more digestible for the modern Western mind, I am creating less than one minute animations. This one is from the Chapter: The Myth of the Strong Man.
This one is from Yong Xing-li’s dream at the very end of Chapter 2024.
This one is the very beginning of Sapience.
We need to feed our minds with powerful stories that feed the parts of ourselves that make us conscious. My book is not the only powerful story out there, but my book certainly connects the dots between Primitive Man’s Mind and Modern Man’s Mind is a way I have only seen Issac Asimov do with his books in the Foundation Series and psychohistory.
Well, that is probably more than enough to ponder for another boring day in America…
The feature graphic is created from an e-mail exchange I had with friends about Biden’s comment concerning MAGA supporters being the only garbage swirling around America. Biden was responding to Trump’s Madison Square Garden’s keynote comedian calling Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage.
One of my friend’s thought Biden made a grave mistake akin to Hillary calling Trump’s supporters in 2016 A Basket of Deplorables. But it turns out that Hillary Clinton was right.
My other friend said the following, which I turned into the graphic for this blog, just hours away from Nov. 5, 2024 Presidential election.
When I lived in Germany, I felt I could see why Hitler was able to gain his power. It was my (probably naïve) view that people in Germany tend to let things happen because they don’t feel they have a lot of power to direct change in their society, just shrug small things off as long as those things don’t step on their toes. The problem is those small things add up.
Before it is too late to say it, my desire is to have leadership in this country that is based on character rather than caricature, be deliberative rather than authoritative, and have a foreign policy based on facts and diplomacy rather than on blackmail and appeasement. It is obvious who I’ll vote for. I am very worried though that it might be for naught,
Basket of Deplorables
I would like to circle back to Hillary’s comment about Trump supporters being a Basket of Deplorables. Had it not been for the Corporate Media planting the idea that this was a huge mistake for Hillary to say in 2016, we might be living in a sane political landscape today.
The double standard applied to Trump and MAGA is galling. They have been getting a free pass on saying the most fascist, misogynist, racist, and dangerous things (things that incited bad things such as Jan. 6).
Indeed, the Corporate Media‘s sane washing of everything they cover concerning Trump is design to make us think that Trump and MAGA are normal. Meanwhile, real politicians such as Hillary, Biden, and Harris are held to civilized, normal, and rational standards. And when they call out the WEIRD, ABNORMAL, and DESPICABLE behavior displayed by Trump & MAGA… they are called out on it by the Corporate Media!
And while We the People are distracted by all this sane washed reality being fed to us by the Corporate Media and Manosphere, Trump and MAGA whine, shout, threaten violence, then whine some more.
Because of this, back in 2016 we (the non-MAGA voting electorate) failed to see Trump for what he really is: Sweet Potato Hitler.
Sweet Potato
Sweet Potato Hitler — Interview with Don Lemon
And NOW in 2024, Trump IS MORE vile and repelling than ever. Indeed, Trump and MAGA are downright rancid, rotten, dirty and nasty. They are violence and hate impersonating as people.
THIS IS NOT NORMAL!!!!
Trump in 2024
Here is what Trump is doing RIGHT NOW in the final days of the 2024 election. And guess what? Trump is even more vile, disgusting, and dangerous than he was in 2016… it should be said Trump and his MAGA maniacs.

VOTE
The 2024 Election Is One Day Away. There are only two choices available to Americans that will end up in the White House in January 2025. To not vote or to vote 3rd party is to give way to fascism… that is what they want to you to do–give up or get so confused you can’t make a meaningful decision
On Tuesday, will you choose Option #1 or Option #2?
Option #1
Trump
OR
Option #2
Kamala
I’ve voted. I voted blue all the way through because Harris and Walz need sane people in the House and the Senate to take America far, far into the future instead far, far into the past.
The future of America rests in your hands. Choose wisely.
Image a country like a creature made up of all of us….
It’s just 7 days until Halloween… and 12 days until the Presidential elections.
Have you stocked up on Halloween candy?
More importantly—have you voted?
If you haven’t bought your Trick or Treating candy yet, consider yourself lucky. But when it comes to voting, sitting back and letting others decide your future is a gamble you can’t afford. The country needs your voice now more than ever, or we all risk waking up in a nightmare of our own making.

Grim Reality
It’s not Breaking News but more like a grim reality that for many Trump supporters, they will not wake up and see the truth of who they are voting for until it’s too late. History has shown us that when power-hungry factions run unchecked, it’s often the very supporters who fall victim to their own foolish belief in “their guy” that leads to a tragic fall into a very deep pit of complacency. Just look at the aftermath of the Russian Revolution or the rise of the Nazi party in Germany. In both cases, extremist elements seized power, leaving a trail of chaos, death, and destruction in their wake.
This is what happens when Sinister Sycophants stir up a mob mentality that prevails in wiping out a functional democracy. Sycophants don’t care. And they don’t discriminate who to blame next for all the terrible things they bring into being once all the previous scapegoats are gone. The people supporting Trump & Dark MAGA today can easily become tomorrow’s victims.
If we don’t stand up now for human rights and dignity, even for Trump cult followers blinded by blind faith in their Sick Sycophantic Fanatic leaders and talking heads, then we all might just find ourselves living in a dark chapter that we never saw coming. So, as you prepare for Halloween, remember: the treats can wait, but your vote is crucial. Don’t let the spirit of apathy haunt you this season.
He set up a secret police force that was loyal to the Bolsheviks.
He decreed that the government could seize private and church property.
He began to negotiate Russia’s withdrawal from the war.
The secret police loyal to the Bolsheviks hunted down and killed or imprisoned leaders and members of the other forms of communism in Russia in 1917 such as Menshevism, which was a more moderate socialist ideology within the Russian Social Democratic Workers’ Party, advocating for gradual change rather than the Bolsheviks’ revolutionary approach; other factions included the Socialist Revolutionary Party (SRs), with some factions leaning towards more radical forms of socialism and even anarchism.
This resulted in The Red Terror beginning on September 2, 1918 that resulted in the deaths of 50,000 to 600,000 people who held differing opinions and ideas about communism… all were label Anti-Bolsheviks. Other groups targeted included the clergy, rival socialists, counter-revolutionaries, peasant, and dissidents. The Red Terror is followed by the Great Purge where another 220,000 members are purged from Stalin’s ideas of communism. And Stalin is just getting started with these purges.
Or if you prefer to consider Germany in 1920, which is when the Nazi party emerges. It begins as a fringe party until personalities like Hitler rise within its ranks. Hitler was an early adopter of Nazism, joining the party in 1919 when it was still known as the German Worker’s Party.
In 1933, Hindenburg appoints Hitler as chancellor, hoping that the powerful Nazi leader could be brought to heel as a member of the president’s cabinet. Hindenburg sorely underestimated Hitler’s thirst for power and willingness to do anything to get it, including setting the Reichstag building on fire [this would be like Trump setting the Capitol on fire or calling an angry mob to swarm the capitol building on Jan. 6].
Just as Trump called into question the legitimacy of the 2020 election, which he used to sig his crazed crowd on the Capitol, Hitler used the burning of the Reichstag to call for a general election.
However, Hindenburg underestimated Hitler’s political audacity, and one of the new chancellor’s first acts was to use the burning of the Reichstag building as a pretext for calling general elections. The police, under Nazi Hermann Goering, suppressed much of the party’s opposition before the election. The Nazi Party joined forces with the German National People's Party (DNVP), to gain a bare working majority in the Reichstag. Shortly after, Hitler took on absolute power through the Enabling Acts. In 1934, Hindenburg died, and the last remnants of Germany’s democratic government were dismantled, leaving Hitler the sole master of a nation intent on war and genocide. - History: Hitler purges member of his own Nazi part in Night of Long Knives
Before the Holocaust and Hitler’s invasion of Czechoslovakia and Poland, Hitler purged his own part in the Night of Long Knives.
At least 85 people died during the purge, although the final death toll may have been in the hundreds, with high estimates running from 700 to 1,000. More than 1,000 perceived opponents were arrested. The purge strengthened and consolidated the support of the military for Hitler. It also provided a legal grounding for the Nazis, as the German courts and cabinet quickly swept aside centuries of legal prohibition against extrajudicial killings to demonstrate their loyalty to the regime. The Night of the Long Knives was a turning point for the German government.[3] It established Hitler as the supreme administrator of justice of the German people, as he put it in his 13 July speech to the Reichstag. - Wiki
VOTE… Because Democracies Have Fallen Many Times Before… & Trump Has A Plan
It seems impossible that America sits tittering on the edge of fascism in 2024. Yet, here we are, sitting on the titter totter of doom waiting for a few undecided voters to make up their minds.
The Titter Totter of Doom
And… Then, There’s No Place to Run
If “We the People” fail to understand that this is not an election for who has the best policies and which party is going to take America in a better direction. If we fail to grasp that the clear and present danger to America isTrump and MAGA. If we fail to comprehend that we could lose the very democracy we claim to be voting for on Nov. 5, 2024. And if we fail to vote Kamala Harris and Tim Walz into the White House with an overwhelming majority of votes, then Trump & MAGA have a plan.
This isn’t a new plan or twist of fate. Throughout history, sadistic figures like Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Putin, and even Trump—though he stands out as the least intellectually formidable—have emerged from the shadows of civilization.
This unsettling theme is at the heart of my book, Sapience: The Moment Is Now. Many friends have told me they find it too depressing to continue reading, often stopping around pages 35 or 50. And by doing so, they miss the chance to truly grasp where the story is heading and why it’s an important story for our present moment in time.
Yes, discussing sadists and psychopaths is uncomfortable. But so is the reality of suffering at their hands. We can’t effectively protect ourselves from looming threats if we bury our heads in comforting illusions and ignore the existence of these dangerous creatures living among us disguised as human beings.
Sapience is a cautionary tale about dangerous figures who have disrupted and destroyed one civilization after another for thousands of years. If we want to survive as a species on our beautiful planet, we need to learn the lessons of our forebears or prepare to perish.
Ben from the MeidasTouch Network articulates a similar sentiment in a recent video, emphasizing that now is not the time to shy away from confronting those who act like monsters.

Dysfunctional Decals
Now, let’s delve into these stickers that evoke ancient names for the type of creature that Trump embodies and the contagion he has unleashed among ordinary Americans, driving a wedge between us to undermine democracy and pave the way for his hellish victory!
Don’t be fooled by Trump’s worn out, tired, overused ploy tyrants have been using against peace-loving societies for over 5,000 years!
Meet The Eccentric Menagerie
Here are 9 Kiss-Cut Vinyl Decals that encapsulate the Divisive & Dangerous Case of Donald J. Trump. This essential collection features the Betrayer-in-Chief, Airhead Narc, Sinister Sycophant, Half-Witted Hedonist, Obtuse Weirdo, Dim-Witted Psycho, Licentious Sycophant, and the Sore Loser decals.
Betrayer-in-Chief is a striking and thought-provoking design featuring a green-faced depiction of Trump, emblazoned with the bold title “Betrayer-in-Chief.” This decal captures the essence of betrayal in leadership, highlighting the disillusionment many feel toward those in power who prioritize personal gain over the welfare of their constituents.
Airhead Narc is a bold and provocative piece featuring a green-faced depiction of Trump, complete with the striking labels “Airhead” on top and “NARC” at the bottom. This decal humorously captures the essence of narcissism, illustrating how those with narcissistic tendencies often divide the world into simplistic categories of good and bad.
Sinister Sycophant unleashes your inner critic with this striking decal featuring a green-faced depiction of Trump, exuding an aura of malevolence. The bold lettering at the top reads “Sinister,” while the bottom proclaims “Sycophant,” capturing the essence of self-serving flattery and manipulation.
Half-Witted Hedonist features a striking red theme capturing the essence of indulgence and folly. This decal humorously portrays the age-old tendency to prioritize pleasure over wisdom, reflecting how deception can often masquerade as enjoyment. The term “Half-Witted Hedonist” highlights the folly of those who chase fleeting pleasures without consideration for consequences or deeper understanding. It serves as a playful reminder that the pursuit of hedonism, when devoid of wisdom, can lead to misguided choices and a superficial existence.
Obtuse Weirdo is a vibrant, orange-themed design capturing the eccentricity of those who boldly embrace their uniqueness. The term “obtuse” hints at a lack of understanding or sharpness, while “weirdo” affectionately embraces the quirks that make people truly interesting. While being different is something to celebrate, not hide away, this is not the case when the obtuse weirdo is malignant narcissist who will say or do anything to grab power or hang onto power. Then, such a fool becomes dangerous.
Dim-Witted Psycho boldly captures the essence of eccentricity and madness. It playfully explores the juxtaposition of folly and chaos, inviting viewers to ponder the thin line between humor and absurdity. This decal serves as a tongue-in-cheek reminder of the quirks and eccentricities that make life interesting, even when they verge on the outrageous. However, when such an oddity gets a hold of power and can entertain their hypnotized followers into a berserker frenzy, then there is a dangerous problem going on that deserves your time and attention.
The Sore Loser decal boldly showcases the colors of red, white, and blue while playfully confronting the theme of defeat. Featuring the phrase “Sore Loser,” it humorously critiques the reluctance to accept loss, embodying the frustration and stubbornness that can accompany disappointment.The term “sore loser” evokes the image of someone who struggles to gracefully concede, capturing a sentiment that resonates in both personal and political arenas. This decal serves as a lighthearted reminder that losing is a part of the game and embracing it with dignity is far more admirable than clinging to resentment.
Overall, these decals serve as visual critiques of the manipulative tactics employed by wannabe dictators like Trump who exploit their positions for self-serving agendas. Once they get into power, they betray the very people they fooled to gain power.

Every Voice, Every Vote
Ending with an upbeat message, this is a short, happy video to the uplifting beat of Sandra Dee Collier called: Every Voice, Every Vote!
On October 7, 2023, a significant and tragic escalation occurred in the ongoing conflict between Hamas and Israel. Early in the morning, Hamas launched a large-scale surprise attack on Israeli territory. The attack involved rocket fire and incursions by armed militants into various communities. This assault marked a particularly deadly day in the conflict’s history. It caused many casualties among both Israelis and Palestinians.
In response, Israel declared a state of war and commenced extensive military operations in Gaza. The violence quickly escalated, leading to airstrikes on Gaza and widespread destruction. The international community reacted with alarm, calling for de-escalation and urging both sides to pursue dialogue. The events of that day worsened the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. They also reignited discussions about the long-standing issues at the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
As the anniversary approaches, reflections on the events and their aftermath emerge. They highlight the ongoing tensions. These tensions have a profound impact on civilians in the region.
In my book, Sapience: The Moment Is Now, I trace the roots of antisemitism back centuries. These hateful sentiments stretch back to the First Crusades and even further back in time. The night (or rather early morning) of the attack, I had a dream about the Human Cake. It was the second time I had dreamed this dream. It is not a pleasant dream. Rather, it is a shocking, revolting, scary dream, and I could not image why I was dreaming about it again.
In this dream, I see a team of doctors all wearing white coats. They enter a sterile white space where I and others wait. They enter this room through shiny white double doors. Behind these doors is the operating theater where they have been creating their new thing. It is this Thing that they are giving a press conference about. It is clear they are very pleased with their work. I can see their pride on their sly smiles. I can feel their arrogance in the way they push the Thing in a wheelchair for everyone to see.
They spare no gory details on how they created the atrocity sitting in the wheelchair. This Thing used to be a man. Now, it sits as a helpless creature in its wheelchair for it has no legs. Nor can it express any emotions because it no longer has a face. The doctors are proud of these aspects of the creature. They say it is a break through and discuss each step they took to get to this featureless creature.
Everyone in the room sits in stunned silence. There is nothing left of the man except a mound of gory goo. The doctors take turns describing with excitement how they systematically cut off every recognizable feature of the man. They describe with joy how they took these pieces and reattached them to utterly unsuitable places of the body. Places never intended for a severed limb or an eye.
The result is disgusting, stomach-churning, repulsive, beastly, vulgar, and heinous. The doctors did it, but the man volunteered. I couldn’t understand why?! Then, I woke up to the horrible news of what was happening in Israel. I was overwhelmed by the news coming out of Israel. And overhanging this was the shock and horror of my dream that lingered in my mind like an evil specter.
Carl Jung calls such moments as these Moments of Synchronicity. When any human encounters a moment of synchronicity, attention must be paid. This is because often, there is something very important for the individual to know or understand. I knew this was important.
I was working on the final stretch of my book feeling an intense need to get it published by 4/24/24. After October 7, 2023, I stopped writing and editing my book. I could not do a thing in it for the rest of the month. I felt compelled to witness the harrowing stories of survival. And I listened to the tragic stories of death of innocence people at the hands of men filled with hate.
I made a playlist on YouTube called Remember. I saved every story I heard to this list. I was shocked again and again at the savagery described by survivors. The brutality inflicted on babies, children, mothers, fathers, grandmothers, and grandfathers shook me to my core.
After this month of bearing witness, I knew what I had to do with my book. I needed to write about the Human Cake. And I also needed to include the history of the Middle East. This new research and writing sidelined me for at least another month, but I did it.
If you get my book, you will encounter the Human Cake first. He makes his appearance in the book at about page 101. Brothers of the Levant… Before the Fall begins on page 173. Histories of genocides begins around page 320 with the chapter titled: Rise of the Machine.
You need to read all of these sections to gain a full history of current crisis in the Middle East. You also need to read other sections to understand how hate has risen inside of man. He has learned to harness it with machine-like precision. I cover many, many hate groups who have emerged and are growing like a cancer all over the world. In addition, I carefully show how no human being is immune to the infection of hate. These sections are cited for I have researched them intensely. I cite historians, psychologists, and philosophers. Additionally, I reference people who have specialized and written about all this stuff for a very long time.
In this section, I talk about the Human Cake. My character Rain recalls her grandmother’s words about fear and other strong emotions. Her grandmother was a wise woman, and Rain knows she needs wisdom now to survive.
A man who clings to his instinct to kill becomes a person aroused by murder and death. It fascinates him like a candle flame, but to keep the kill candle burning… such a man must kill… constantly. But doing so in a civilized society risks punishment and possibly his own death. And so, such a man fantasizes about murder, mayhem, and massacres inside the confines of his mind. Such a man feeds his fantasies with pictures and images of dead or dying people; kill porn. Such a man glorifies death and idolizes martyrdom. Such a man celebrates the wholesale slaughter of other human beings who he considers to be less than he considers himself to be. It is a false and insincere division made by his foul and increasingly warp light of consciousness that must be constantly fed. He becomes like a drug addict who needs a hit of heroin to feel normal again.
Grandmother said that anything done constantly in the mind soon grows boring to man’s fickle, flickering light of conscious attention, so a man clinging to his kill instinct must up the ante to feed his fading fervor and desire to butcher and decimate other living beings. Such a man may pacify his erotic passion by killing what he considers lesser forms of life. He can also fuel the instinct to kill with anger, regret, and rage. He can work himself up into a berserker frenzy by consuming a steady diet of fury and indignation.
Grandmother said that a man who fantasizes about death and celebrates killing is the devil he fears in others. Such a man cultivates his inner instinct to kill to a fever-pitch, he becomes a tube of intensity, a cannula of desperate excitement, a pipeline of frantic, frenzied, futile fear and rage. His magma tube of hate drops him below the animal realm of living beings, it plunges him below the daemon realm of human beings. He falls into a monster pit, a place where he embodies the wretched vermin that he accuses others of being. His invisible world where all his thinking is done is transformed into Hell’s Kitchen populated by unrecognizable things baked in the heat of hate and scorn.
Such a man uses his laser beam of hate to mutilate his inner man. He disfigures and desecrates his inner self by cutting off his inner man’s fingers and toes, hands and feet, legs, and arms. He pulls out his inner man’s hair and gouges out his eyes. He removes his nose and mouth and face and slops them onto the growing heap of hate he is becoming. Then he turns up the heat of his fear and loathing, baking himself into a human cake made of hostility, disgust, resentment, bitterness, antipathy, and apathy.
Such a dismembered and disfigured inner man can no longer recognize the humanity in himself, and certainly not in others. He becomes a thing of contempt and repugnance, a thing no longer recognizable as human or animal, except for one thing: his thinking and his words. Such a man uses these lingering abilities with deft callousness to beguile and enthrall, to rivet and fascinate, to transfix, super charge, and magnetize the ordinary man and woman… pulling them farther and farther out of the mainstream, tempting them to leave their reservoirs of wisdom with promises of everything but love. Then he destroys their inner equanimity and binds them to him with chains of fear that are firmly fastened to his crumpled wheelchair of cruelty. He must do this for such a man is crippled by his own fear and hate. And so, he needs others to do the terrible things he dreams up, but which he is too cowardly to do himself.
Commanding his army of human zombies from his wheelchair of hate, he must constantly recruit new people to his wretched world of scorn and loathing because he throws his foot soldiers to their deaths again and again. And they must die because they have been commanded to kill the women, kill the children, kill the babies, kill the goats and chickens and dogs and wheat and barley and water… to kill anything resembling life. So, anything resembling life must fight back or be killed and die by the killer human zombies who have been robbed of their souls by the human cakes baked by their own hate.
Just before the Fall, some of the biggest, most hideous, gut-churning, ghastly acts of hate are immortalized as mere numbers: 9/11, 2/24, 10/7. Days of infamy that plunged the highly interconnected world of the dawning 21st Century not only into bloody, gruesome, localized conflicts and war, but mind grenades carefully calibrated to inspire fear and fill the ordinary man and woman with hate for the other around the entire world. It doesn’t matter what side a person is blown to in the blast of gruesome cruelty. These mind grenades are simply meant to shock and to shake the fragile foundations upon which modern people must trust will protect them and keep them safe.
With the ordinary man’s and woman’s trust in humanity shook, it doesn’t take much more for the most hateful human cakes to shatter any common bonds still holding a civilized society together into a million, billion bits. Once shattered, the hate filled human cakes rearrange the shiny, reflective shards of human consciousness like tiny mirrors on a disco ball. The human cakes shine their light of hate on the remnants of the ordinary man’s and woman’s sense of safety and security. -- Excerpt from Sapience: The Moment Is Now
What else can I say about hate of Human Cakes?
I can only show you the drawing I made of this creature… the one I dreamt about on the morning of October 7, 2023 for the second time. The dream I knew I needed to pay attention to… and so I did.
The fractured Earth reflects our reality. On the barren side, the blackened devastation symbolizes rampant urbanization and industrialization. This often comes at the cost of protecting and preserving Earth’s natural world. It reflects the divided reality most modern human beings must sustain and keep perpetuating throughout their entire lives. They must do so to survive in all the cities and towns. Here, they must survive in money-based economies where pollution, overcrowding, and resource depletion are prevalent. This imagery critiques a human-made system that prioritizes short-term gains over long-term sustainability. It evokes a sense of urgency about the path we’re on.
Economic Division
Other themes implied on the devastation side include corporate dominance. It is devastated. All livable land has been used for factories, roads, shopping centers, and cities. These support and perpetuate modern man’s consumer industrial complex.
Billionaires vs Every Living Being on Earth
It side also hints at the influence mega corporations wield in modern politics and society. Our time in man’s history is a time when billionaires use their billions to sway how people think. Greedy multi-billionaires prey on the very people they hire. First, they keep them trapped in low-paying, back-breaking work. Then, they use tried and true mind control techniques on their own employees. They also use these techniques on millions of others trapped in low-wage jobs. The goal is to make them support the idea that they, the super rich, need even more money. They claim this is needed to keep them employed and that all this money will eventually trickle down to them.
Greed vs Life
Greedy billionaires will pour millions of dollars into political campaigns to influence elections. This money goes to support modern marketing campaigns and people that are ripe with mind control techniques. Joost Meerloo’s book, The Rape of the Mind, was published in 1956. His book was discussed in great detail in the Marvelization of Man series published last year here. Joost’s book explores in great detail the mind control used by the Nazis and Japanese during WWII.
Greed: Gateway to the Corruption
Greedy billionaire hand pick politician who are ready to lie, steal, and cheat their way into political office. Once in power, the billionaire backers expect “their” corrupted politicians to do them favors. Such favors basically let them grow unchecked, unregulated, and out of control.
Divided Earth = Divided Mind
In the context of my book, divided Earth is a symbol of power dynamics destroying Earth. It is a world where corporate interests override ecological and social considerations. It is a world where people are disposable tools for the mega rich. It is a world divide between people and their environment, the rich from poor, the powerful from the powerless.
On the thriving side of fractured Earth, the vision of regeneration clings to its polar-opposite half. Here, the green-blue side acts as a beacon of possibility. It symbolizes the regenerative power of nature and the potential for humans to live harmoniously within it. This side serves as an aspirational vision for what our world could become through conscious efforts. It reflects sustainable practices. It embodies respect for biodiversity.
Symbolic Imagery
Let’s dissection the design elements of this T-shirt a little be more deeply.
Front: Fractured Earth
– Black Barren Side: This side starkly shows the consequences of unchecked industrialization and environmental neglect. The cities, factories, and roads are symbolic of the relentless pursuit of profit. It shows the results of an Earth dominated by a consumerist mentality that prioritizes economic growth over ecological sustainability. This imagery serves as a wake-up call, illustrating a future that many fear if current trajectories continue.
– Green-Blue Thriving Side: In contrast, the other side embodies hope, resilience, and the potential for regeneration. The lush landscapes and vibrant ecosystems signify what is possible when humanity lives in harmony with nature. They foster biodiversity and nurture life. This duality starkly contrasts despair with hope, highlighting the urgent need for a collective shift in perspective.
Back: Radiant Unified Earth
– The unified image of Earth bursting with life and color reinforces the idea of synthesis and cooperation. It suggests that a harmonious existence is attainable and emphasizes the beauty of diversity—both in nature and in human thought. This imagery serves as a visual reminder. It remind us that unity, collaboration, and an appreciation for diverse perspectives can lead to a sustainable future.
– The vibrant depiction of Earth on the back signifies the interconnectedness of all life. It is a symbol of the necessity of diversity and interconnection for life to exist. It reminds us that biodiversity is essential not only for ecological health but also for cultural richness and innovation. This reinforces the idea that diverse perspectives can lead to stronger, more adaptive solutions to global challenges.
– The imagery of a unified Earth encourages collective action. It symbolizes that while we may come from different backgrounds, ideas, and experiences. Our shared goals and aspirations can lead to meaningful change. This is particularly relevant in a time when divisions—political, social, and environmental—seem more pronounced than ever. It is a reminder that Unity in Action is more important to humans that ever before.
Textual Elements
Front Text: “Instead of Dividing”
– This phrase challenges the divisive mentality that often characterizes societal interactions today. It urges individuals to move beyond binary thinking. Such thinking only leads to conflict and stagnation. This T-shirt advocates instead for inclusivity and collaboration.
Back Text: “Synthesize”
– The call to synthesize encapsulates the essence of this T-shirt’s message. It encourages people to merge ideas and perspectives, fostering innovation and creative problem-solving. In a world rife with complexities, synthesis becomes an essential skill for navigating challenges. Synthesizing allows us to transcend simplistic, polarizing viewpoints. A unified Earth is the path ahead humans must take to survive.
Thematic Connections
Transformation & Survival
– In my book, the character Yong Xing-li symbolizes the struggle for survival amid collapse. He is seeking a unifying vision for humanity. His fictional moment mirrors our current collective reality. Both call for synthesis—of ideas, efforts, and hearts.
These narratives resonate deeply today. They align with our current global challenges. They remind us that transformative thinking is necessary to overcome obstacles. They highlight the urgency of cooperative efforts to tackle climate change, social inequity, and other pressing issues. They invite everyone to join. And show how synthesize ideas and actions can lead to a more harmonious existence.
The Power of Synthesis
– The exploration of synthesis as a critical human ability is timely. In an age of information overload and rapid change, the ability to blend ideas and cultivate creative solutions is vital. Synthesis can lead to more holistic understandings of complex problems, fostering a culture that values collaboration over competition.
Collective Responsibility
– The notion that self-aware beings must “tame” their consciousness speaks to our collective responsibility. It emphasizes the need for mindfulness in our choices and actions. It urges individuals to consider the broader implications of their decisions on the planet and society.
Global Crisis Is Opportunity
– We are living in a pivotal moment. Our time on Earth is characterized by climate emergencies, social unrest, and widespread disenchantment with traditional systems of governance. This backdrop makes the message about synthesis all the more relevant. The need for innovative thinking and collaborative action is pressing, as the consequences of inaction become increasingly dire.
Cultural Shift
A growing recognition that a global cultural shift towards sustainability and social responsibility is needed now. It is needed to survive as a species on Earth. People are slowly coming to recognize the importance of holistic thinking. But the social control efforts implemented by the super rich hinder greatly real meaningful collective action. We are not synthesizing fast enough collectively to change our fate.
Nevertheless, this is not a reason to stop trying. The more people who move away from the divisive narratives dominating modern discourse, the more likely transformative change will occur. Our current moment is ripe for transformative ideas. This t-shirt is a powerful tool to inspire dialogue. And even without dialogue, its symbolism works inside the minds of people who view it. The unconsciousness of passive viewers will mull over and think about the idea of the Power of Synthesis. It will help to awaken this vital human ability all humans have. An ability we need to use now to chart a collective path ahead for a sustainable future, a survivable future.
Innovative Solutions
– The call to “Synthesize” taps into the urgency of creative problem-solving. It urges individuals to not only think outside the box but to dismantle the box entirely. It blends ideas from various fields, cultures, and disciplines to forge new pathways. This is particularly crucial in tackling complex issues like climate change, where interdisciplinary approaches often yield the most effective solutions.
Mindfulness & Consciousness
– In my book, I explore the notion of taming self-awareness. This T-shirt imparts through symbolism the importance of mindfulness in decision-making. In a world saturated with information and distractions, fostering a thoughtful, reflective approach to our actions is essential. Such mindfulness can lead to more conscious choices that emphasize sustainability and collective well-being.
Conclusion
This t-shirt design serves not just as a piece of clothing but as a catalyst for conversation and reflection. It invites wearers and viewers alike to ponder their role in shaping the future of our planet. By merging art and activism, this T-shirt become a tool in fostering a vital dialogue. It invite conversations about cooperation, creativity, and the potential for a united planet.
Regardless of if you engage in a conversation or not, the T-shirt continues to work. This is because symbols are the language of the mind. The symbology of a thriving Earth filled with people employing the power of synthesist instead of division is a powerful. It is a message that resonates deeply now.
In essence, this T-shirt serves as a canvas that reflects the dual realities of our time. It shows the stark consequences of division and neglect versus the hopeful potential of unity and cooperation. It challenges wearers and viewers to confront the current state of the world. But is also inspires both wearer and viewer to envision and work towards a more harmonious future.
As a piece of wearable art, this T-shirt invites conversation and action. It embodies the transformation of synthesist. The Moment Is Now in not only a call for action. It is a call for the transformation of the human mind. All of us must engage in daily thoughts that lead to positive, cooperative, collective action. To dwell in divisive thinking will only spell our collective doom. Humanity never achieved anything lasting through division. Such thinking only leads to sorrow, despair, and poverty–not only physically but spiritually. Be courageous. Be the change. Be the symbol of transformation. Be the Vision of Hope Earth needs so badly now!

This dress builds on the message I introduced earlier with theUndecided T-shirt. It is part of the Always Forward, Never Back Collection. It delves even deeper into where our decisions, beliefs, and ideas about reality come from. Here, we start to venture deeper into the realm of soul. Here, the importance of making time for Soulful Moments is revealed. It is not only a nice experience. It is an essential one. Here, we learn how to recognize Soulful Wisdom. It is the mental process of sorting good ideas from bad. It involves choosing good action over harmful action.
Hard choices, tough decisions, and near states of constant indecision have become normal ways of being in modern societies. Perhaps at no time in human history have individuals faced sorting through so many endless streams of information. They are bombarded like a circular firing squad of information overload. Competition for an individual’s human attention has never been higher. Today, everybody wants a piece of your time and mind.
We have monetized our time and attention into fractured, rigid categories. These have been segregated by levels depending on how much a person makes. It’s completely arbitrary humanity’s modern systems of economy and commerce. A person gets paid X dollars for doing X activities for X hours. But some people get paid a whole lot more than others. Some times the justification for this is well founded. It includes extensive training. It also includes years of education to become an expert in a field. But there are many cases where one guy or gal makes way too much. This happens regardless of what they are actually doing for X activity.
From this construction of reality, all sorts of complexities, hidden dangers, huge discrepancies and inequalities emerge. The reality most people must survive is one where there is not a fair system of exchange. It has never been fair. After more than 5,000 years of living this way, we think it is the only way to exist. It is not.
This is where the Soulful Wisdom Collection comes into play. The designs and stories of the products in this collection are meant to inspire spirit through color. They also inspire soulful moments through vivid patterns and archetypal images. I draw the ideas for many of my stories and imagery from the work of Carl Jung. He was a psychologist at the turn of the 20th Century. Through his work at the Burghölzli psychiatric hospital, in Zurich, Jung established himself as an influential mind. He developed a friendship with Sigmund Freud, founder of psychoanalysis. They conducted a lengthy correspondence paramount to their joint vision of human psychology (Wikipedia).
Jung came to understand the human mind shares a symbolic reservoir of knowledge. This reservoir spans across all times, places, and cultures. He called these living symbolic representations of common experiences all people share archetypes. These living symbols is what all humans use to be conscious and self-aware. Without conscious self-awareness, people would not know that they know something. Action would be purely instinctual… and the consequences of such action would be experienced as an immutable and unforgiving fate.
How a person learns to recognize their inner, mental world and navigate it often determines the quality of their life. Navigating this inner world is crucial. This inner world is nothing less than a living reservoir of archetypes. All choice and actions have consequences. Eastern thought calls this Karma. It is nothing more than the timeless law of cause and effect. For an individual to make wise choices, they must cultivate the interior of their mind. This prevents choices obscured by unconscious biases or implicit prejudices, attitudes, and mindsets. A person must exercise their mind just as one must take care of and exercise the body.
As I create more products for this collection and others, we will explore more of our hidden inner world. This is where magic happens all the time. It’s just learning how to see inside and recognize it. This way you can act wisely on who and what you really are.

On this day six years ago, my father had a heart attack. First responders revived him after 15 minutes of CPR, and then he was flown by helicopter to the Mayo Clinic. There he was put into an induced coma and body cooled to help preserve as much brain function as possible. Nobody knew if he would wake up and if he did, how much of him would wake up. But after days of touch and go, dad came back all of him except swallowing and he had developed pneumonia due to CPR, and this was expected and Mayo began aggressive treatment of it because it turns out if you aren’t breaking ribs while doing CPR, you aren’t pumping enough blood to revive the individual.
Remembering Dad
I wrote all about this in the first anniversary of dad’s death, as well as the reasons why he did not make it.
How Narcissistic Abuse Severely Thwarted my Healing Journey
In addition to dad’s death, the CEO of a small nonprofit I was working for fired me for being by dad’s side. Most probably this CEO suffering from Narcissistic Personality Disorder and she would be fired soon enough for this and a number of other things she did or failed to do during her tenure.
Adding insult to injury, my mother-in-law who is most definitely contorted and warped by Narcissistic Personality Disorder was about to launch one of her most hideous and disgusting campaigns to make herself appear as the victim so she could harvest attention and pity from her flying monkeys. This is what narcissists enablers are called by professionals who try to help family members and people abused by Narcissists heal. The fuel for her campaign of Narcissistic madness was her own children and grandchildren.
It would take me 6 years to understand what my mother-in-law was doing and why. But back in 2018 and 2019 I simply found myself in HELL.
I should not be here today. The only thing that helped me hold on during this time of pain and abandonment was the story I had started writing in 2012. I was reading dad the latest parts of the story when he died with me by his side on August 4, 2018.
Even though dad had slipped into a delirium due to the stress of life-saving procedures such as suctioning the mucous from his airways and reinserting a feeding tube he had worked out with the back of his tongue four times the previous day, he told the nurses caring for him that he was so proud of me for writing this book and that my whole life has been preparing me for it.
So in the dark days of the summer of 2019, with the help of a friend, I returned to my story and began editing the beginning to bring it up to the level of writing I had evolved into after six years of writing. My friend was then editing my edited version of book 1.
Then, Something New Began Coming Through
Not too long into this process, something new started coming through. I argued with myself… it was right around this time in 2019… for I knew writing something new would take more time.
The something new won took 6 more years to write! I finally published the book my father believed in so much on April 24, 2024.
Here is an excerpt of some of the something new that was coming through me after father died. This is from Sapience: The Moment Is Now — What Rain knows.
From the Book
"You cannot sell wisdom, nor can you buy it. You must earn it by living fully, living unself-consciously but not unconsciously. Wisdom is a group activity. Wisdom is kind. Wisdom shares its last morsel of food simply because that is what wisdom does. Wisdom knows that everything is connected, and what you do to someone else, you have done to yourself first. Wisdom is a baby crawling and giggling with its newfound mastery of getting around. Wisdom is an old man falling and laughing at his misfortunate mishap, knowing perfectly well everyone falls sometimes and it doesn’t mean a darn thing.
Wisdom knows sometimes you are going to win. Wisdom knows sometimes you are going to lose. Wisdom knows winning and losing doesn’t mean a darn thing because that is part of being alive. Wisdom knows navigating the ups and downs, the wins and losses, are much easier and mean so much more when you share it with the people who care about you and who you care about… this is love... caring and sharing, celebrating and mourning, feasting and fasting together as ever as one.
Wisdom is the joy of sharing life with the ones you love. Wisdom is the bliss of partaking equitably in the ups and downs of life. Wisdom is tolerating in another the things that annoy you most. Tolerance is a blessing, and wisdom knows this. Tolerance and wisdom are essential because life is complicated, too complicated for one insignificant human being to know everything it must to make a good decision.
A wise person knows this. A wise person knows a single individual can never consciously gather enough information to make a wise decision: so, stop trying to fool yourself and others that you can. A wise person understands action must be taken without foreknowledge of the results, but if the action is grounded in mutuality, respect, compassion, dignity, love, and a huge heaping of tolerance… mostly the results will reap good outcomes. And when they don’t, a wise person knows it is important to try again. Failure is simply the process of success.
Tolerance is an anti-gravity force to fear. Tolerance requires a person to broaden their bandwidth of consciousness rather than narrow and restrict it as fear does. Tolerance allows an individual to sit in discomfort, to sit in not knowing, to sit in the darkness of what is not clear yet and to wait for understanding of what is right action.
Timing is everything when it comes to action. Right action done too soon quickly turns into wrong action. Right action done too late will also not produce desired results. Action done outside of its proper time or beyond what is necessary to complete a task is easily twisted and corrupted by thinking that tries to justify it. Such action grows fat with inaccurate, incorrect, false, untrue, and mistaken attributions ladled onto it to get people to act. This sort of propped up action becomes more and more improper and unsuitable for the circumstances.
Such artificial action awakens the most wicked and sinful parts of a person, because acting outside and beyond the bounds of right action requires an angry mind, a brash, conservative, intolerant, mean, merciless, unfriendly, unsympathetic, biased, disapproving, narrow-minded, and prejudiced mind. People acting in this manner are cruel, brutal, savage, bloodthirsty, vicious people driven by narrower and narrower justifications loaded with fantastical and fraudulent fancies.
Wisdom knows this and knows tolerance is the only way to slow down enough to sense and see what is really going on inside and outside of one’s own mind and body. Only by sensing and seeing more of what is actually going on in the present moment can a person produce right action at the right time.
Right action does not inflict harm unto oneself or another without a really good reason why violence is required. Isaac Asimov got it right when his character, Salvor Hardin, says: “Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.” This is true because it is so easy to lose wisdom when one is racing inside their mind, thought after thought conceived by lies, half-truths, or half-baked ideas and silly beliefs.
A person acting in such a way utilizes the narrowest bandwidth of consciousness possible yet still able to remain conscious. Any narrower, and the person would fall into a dumb, zombie-like stupor. Wisdom knows this. Wisdom knows thinking is a result of the constriction of consciousness due to fear. Wisdom knows thinking trumped up with false facts and fantastical beliefs is going to make a lot of mistakes due to its failure to grasp reality. So, like any good toddler, a person who thinks all the time and falls out of phase with right action will make more and more mistakes and will act in more and more rageful ways trying to cover up and hide all their blunders, miscalculations, gaffes, and ignorance." -- Pages 128-128

The oracle is an ancient role that a wise woman or wise man played in society. Ancient man understood balance is essential, but finding the right balance can be tricky, especially when confronted with lots of divergent opinions, ideas, gossip, agitprop, spin, hype, propaganda, indoctrination, misinformation and disinformation on top of more spin.
In today’s modern world, life is even more chaotic and nerve wracking. This is why finding peace and quiet to dream is more important than ever before, and thus the inspiration for this plush, comfy comforter and its simple words of inspiration to invite delight into the night.
“I am an Oracle. Didn’t you hear? My wisdom’s like magic… … mystic and clear. I’ll lead you to places… … free from pain, fear, and hate. So, ask me your questions… And dream into being your destiny tonight!”
— by Deborah
Oracle Collection
The oracle collection is a reminder wisdom lies inside of all of us. And it is closer than we think. Wisdom’s light is soft, gentle like the moonlight that makes night a magical time. To hear our inner oracle, we must find outer calm and tranquility, even during the worst of times or the hardest trails life throws to us. This is not easy to do when one is feeling pain, fear, or hate. The oracle helps to soothes away the blocking feelings and traumas, so we can all find our way to our inner pool of peace and tranquility where our wisdom waits to rise like a full prescient moon.
The oracle is part of my book: Sapience: The Moment Is Now. It is an archetype, which is an idea developed by Carl Jung around the turn of the 20th Century to talk about how people use consciousness. Being self-aware and thinking are things we do every day, but rarely do we think about how we do it. Jung proposed there are body parts for the mind just as there are body parts for our bodies. Archetypes are the body parts of the mind. To visualized this, the colorful women-harps. If you look closely, the woman and harp are one entity.
Rainbow Women
I created these lovely rainbow women and harps for a blog I wrote about consciousness and arches of consciousness. I used Genolve via Midjourney to create rainbow arches of consciousness that the AI displayed to me as women and musical instruments playing the chords of consciousness inside of us. This is what the AI imagined, and I really liked it. One of the cues I gave to the AI was arches of consciousness, which is short for archetypes or an idea.
If you are interested in consciousness and archetypes, they are thoroughly explored in my book as well—Sapience: The Moment Is Now (on Amazon).

It is the 4th of July 2024! The United States of America has withstood so many moments of greatness, disaster, conflict, trauma, war and peace. Through it all, for 248 years, Americans of all makes and models, Americans great and small, rich or poor, immigrant or native (and most modern Americans are by far immigrants… it is ignorance to argue otherwise) have managed to come together and stand together when the times of required us to act as one body to achieve our destiny.
But this July 4th, Americans stand divided. Americans are more fractured than ever, perhaps more divided than Americans were on April 11, 1861. This is the day before the Civil War began. Evidently, the division that plunged Americans in the the bloody Civil War did not end on April 9, 1865. It rages on today.
Today, we face a stark choice: Biden or Trump. To vote for a third candidate is to shrink from your duty to make a hard choice. It is a cop out. It is playing the game of chicken when America needs you to play the game of defending democracy for the future.
Is the choice easy?
No, of course not. When the stakes are high, when is a choice that matters ever easy?
Biden is old, but he is wise. Trump is old, and he is pig-ignorant.
Biden is frail, but he tells the truth. Trump is vigorous but lies like the Devil.
Biden fumbled the debate, but his is good. Trump fumbled too, and he is evil.
What is evil?
I talk about it in my book available on Amazon titled: Sapience: The Moment Is Now.
Sapience: The Moment Is Now (available on Amazon!)
Evil is Live spelled backwards. When a human being ignores too much of reality, humans are capable of creating conditions that do not support life. In other words, the make a livable world un livable. That is evil, pure and simple.
What is ignorance?
I also talk extensively about this in my book on Amazon. Ignorance is ignoring certain parts of reality so that you can know more about one thing or another. We all must learn to ignore the world in order to know certain parts of the world. This is how we gain knowledge. But too much ignoring leads straight to foolish ignor-ance. This is where we are with the Cult of Trump and MAGA.
So, why MIGA?
If you shorten Making Ignorance Great Again, and you get MIGA. I got this idea while swimming and created it on my iPad. Basically, I took the A in MAGA crack it in half to get the lopsided I (the broken piece of A that is going to fall over because every opposite thing needs its other half to stand strong). I added an orange with a MIGA hat on top in homage to Orange Jesus.
Thank you Liz Cheney for revealing in your book that is what MAGA followers call Trump.
In short, this is what it seems to me what MAGA is bent on doing… making up fiends and foes out of common, ordinary people living in America who happen to have different ideas, lifestyles, color of skin, political or religious beliefs, or anything else they want to make a big fuss about. To do this, the very first thing that must be done is to divide Americans into “us” and “them”. Then, once the division is made, the “us” group gets to go around screaming, shouting, and raging about reality not being how or what they want it to be. It’s so easy to rage.
It’s hard to do the work to really understand the complexities of nature, much less a huge, complicate country like the USA. So, just forget about trying to understand all nuances, complexity, or differences… just cut reality in half, throw away or get rid of the part you don’t like, and plough ahead with half a head and a lopsided mind. In other words, ignore complexity. This is how you get MIGA out of MAGA.
