WATCH: Autodidacticism #SolutionsWatch
Who said education was boring? On the contrary. Knowing more about the world, improving your skills and achieving success is electrifying and addictive.
But first you have to learn how to learn.
Autodidacticism is the process of learning about a skill or a subject without a formal teacher, and today Richard Grove of GetAutonomy.info is here to help us get started on the lifelong quest of self-improvement and self-learning.
Sources, shownotes and links – as well as audio versions and download options – can be found here. Previous episodes of #SolutionsWatch can be found here and here.

Most of the genuine and valuable knowledge I’ve learned has been found outside of and contrary to the industrial schooling which has been institutionalized as education in our, or rather their (ruling class) society, where we are units on assembly lines of socialization as resources for profit and power. To be sure, there have been exceptional teachers, free thinkers, and doers, in the ranks of students’ jailers in the carceral factories of this social engineering, who inspired me and others with their example. Generally, as I eventually experienced as well, they didn’t last long in their noncompliance with authority. To some extent I’d call my journeys and adventures in learning and living autodidacticism. But whatever has been self-taught has been likewise dependent on others both before me, within the cumulative history of human labor, and within present contexts where what’s learned is shared in vital associations providing meaning and purpose… Read more »
Internet has enabled self learning enormously.
That’s a VERY 2-edged “sword” and I lie awake wondering just how much we know, or even yet suspect, about the other, sharper edge.
(Ed Curtin has written well, and posted here, about some relevant aspects of “all that”.)
As Jefferson wrote, “Never take the bait… until you’ve looked to see if there’s a hook concealed.”
The internet, specifically developed by Nazi DARPA as an Intelligence weapon (though like all things DARPA they equivocate that as “defense”… 100 years ago the “Department of Defense” was named “Department of War”) is a very tangled Web they weave, when first they practice to deceive.
Their capabilities for deception have increased explosively, with us their frequent targets; but there is good news too, like you say.
It just seems the jury is still very out as yet.
Digital technology has made that possible, but privatization and enclosure of its public commons by corporate state power, following similar (forgotten) history of print and electronic media like radio and television, has disabled more open source democratization on which self-learning is based. Computers and the internet, like most other major industrial developments, originated from the state and military, and once publicly funded R&D permitted their wider incorporation into the political economy, they were transferred to private controllers. A lot of their libertarian potential seemed hijacked as advertising and promotional hype (revolution out of garages of Silicon Valley) for the purpose of selling product far and wide in bait-and-switch style to set up the adequate base for population control, including by virtue of what the nature of electronic media, as with EMFs, allows in this respect. Here’s one critical review, raising more questions than it answers, of some of the different… Read more »
The etymology of “school”;
a) from Greek skholē “spare time, leisure, rest, ease; idleness; that in which leisure is employed; learned discussion;”
b) [large number of fish] late 14c., scole, from Middle Dutch schole (Dutch school) “group of fish or other animals” (porpoises, whales), which is cognate with Old English scolu “band, troop, crowd of fish,”
Self learners will agree most with a), while the majority is with b).
Very few kids have the self-discipline and perseverance to walk the lonely a) track; a school is in the first place a social gathering place to meet similar age group acquaintances and possibly also to make friends – even attractive for self learners.
The WEF are pushing some woman who’s a “bibliotherapist”. Read books for therapy, not to learn stuff! Her motto is apparently that escapist reading should not be a guilty pleasure.
Why would they rather you read a ghost story or a book about fluffy animals than Carroll Quigley or Antony Sutton or Suzanne Humphries? That’s a tough one….
WEF: divert, distract, deflect, derange, deride, decimate, distort, deceive, divide ALL things and persons of public interest so there is ever more for us and ever less for all of you.
The “reductio ad absurdum” of Capitalismo to a virus.
“And it is a strictly objective fact that there are such types of capitalists, such types of reactionaries. And there is no doubt that the worst type of capitalism is nazism; the worst type of imperialism was nazism. And the most criminal mentality was the mentality of imperialism in its nazi form. And so there is a whole series of degrees in these questions.”
[Excerpt from Fidel Castro Speech 11.23.63: “Concerning the Facts and Consequences of the Tragic Death of President John F. Kennedy”]
Intriguing
There were some interesting books on their shelves. The Tower of Basel was one, Dope Inc another. I would prefer an interview discussing one or the other or both.
un-school!
Be too cool for school?

Autodidacticism runs a very poor second to television’s didactic hypnopaedia…
May run second but it’s light years ahead…
On the other hand, not many anti-vaxxers readily recognise the truth of the statement that if you take the Covid vaccine (and any number of boosters) you won’t get Covid. Biden was being truthful.
You won’t get Covid because it doesn’t exist. It’s a psyop.
Therefore, you also won’t get Covid even if you don’t take the jab, so 99.8% is untrue. It’s 100%.
However, the jab is real, its side effects are dire (depending upon batch), and its ultimate effects are mortal.
Influenza (delle stelle) exists even so (albeit non-viral), and as The Earth’s magnetic field is further disrupted, some cases are likely to be of greater severity.
..99.8% protected against what ?
Earlier there used to be something called choosing the lesser of two evils. Those days are gone, now the choice is between full on evil and full on evil…
When people choose the lesser of two evils, they choose evil.
That’s how evil operates and has operated.
A quote from “the poet laureate of low life” Charles Bukowski (though I never met him, we were near enough neighbours when I lived in Long Beach in thec1980s, and then he was notoriously married by the founder of PRS, MPH, not at all a kudo but a caveat): “The problem was, you had to keep choosing between one evil or another, and no matter what you chose they sliced another piece off you until nothing was left. At the age of 25 most people were finished. A whole god****ed nation of a***oles, driving automobiles, eating, having babies, doing everything in the worst way possible, like voting for the presidential candidate who reminds them the most of the themselves.” That appears as the epigraph on its own page, beginning Greg Palast’s “The Best Democracy Money Can Buy” Though I see that as simply a caricature, though recognizable in the real,… Read more »
Not if you don’t vote. You choose something else – non-compliance. Starve the system, stop paying tax, council tax etc. It’s the most moral and effective action.
This was true in Thatcher’s day.
Since then, all the other political parties have caught up.
Our current woes have literally nothing to do with party politics.
Yes. The Tories are appalling.
But so is the rest of Washminster.
All rotten to the core.
Lying, self serving globalists.
Enemies of the people.
Complicit in genocide.
Where do they even come from?
Are they spotted by ‘talent scouts’ in secondary school or college, and groomed for future use?
We didn’t have more than one or two completely immoral specimens in any classroom when I was at school, and the teachers abhorred them.
Now the teachers are every bit as abhorrent.
What happened?
ALL the ‘successful’ politicians and educators today have had their souls surgically removed.
NOTA BENE: please refer to my Bukowski quote upthread, “At the age of 25…….”
It’s a process. The system grinds them, but you either have to have epic discipline and acting skills, or just set your sails, against those compromising winds.
In other countries those winds can be very strong, too, but here in USA they are rarely less than gale force.
So, I just always duck out of them, as far as that goes. Why oppose them, better just to avoid them. Not always, but more than people think as an option.
Most are hypnotized by constant pressures to think they can’t? O really?!
What if, instead of protesting or marching in the streets, millions of people just cooperated less and less!
But to do so takes true practice in mindfulness.
Only the humble survive.
I taught myself how to not believe a damn word that any politician and the oligarchy-controlled media say. It’s easy, all you need to do is not believe a damn word they say or write. After a while it becomes second nature. I also taught myself to stop saying there is a Covid-19 and an accompanying “vaccine”. Every time someone would say, or I would read, about the virus is this and that and the vaccine this and that, I just continued to repeat, “there is no Covid-19 virus”, and “it’s not a vaccine”. After awhile, it becomes second nature. More should try it.
I do all that, at least. I began 3.11.20. Early in the “game”.
Hm, I never knew it was called Autodidacticism, it’s just how I was taught to learn from birth. So thanks OffG, good to see this kind of thing.
Neurosurgery is perhaps one discipline not so amenable to autodidactism. 😃
Ha! My daughter said the same thing! (I was reading some of the earlier comments outloud).
Robots that do neuro surgery often tell me they know all they will ever know so don’t bother them with learning anything.
Who programmed those robots?
Postgrad profs
You’ll be surprised to hear that DIY trepanning is a thing then.
Even in recent times, people queued up to get a graphene oxide coated nasopharyngeal swab poked close to their cranial cavity (and had their poor kids suffer the same).
I’d rather have a full bottle in front of me, than a full frontal lobotomy.
Neurosurgery isn’t even amenable to trial & error by professionals. The brain is simply not amenable to repair – it wasn’t built to be. Resilient, sure.
Unlike plumbers, surgeons (and doctors) can bury their mistakes.
True story: My dad visits my mum in a nursing home. For at least a year now I haven’t visited (been allowed to visit) because of b.s. “rules.” In the beginning of the b.s., when I refused to submit to their “tests,” they made accommodations (once or twice, and maybe a third time) to visit with my mom thru a window with me on the exterior of the building and we could talk on the phone. That, for some reason or other I can’t remember, stopped and I haven’t seen my mom in a long time, can’t quite recall how long but way over a year. A while back I started writing a letter, explaining that they must allow me to see my mom but I never finished it because I’m a schmoe, and over that time I’ve periodically asked if their b.s. rules are still in place. My dad… Read more »
1) Don’t let anyone go to a thanatorium unless it’s beyond your power to prevent them (or you think their final days will be more comfortable there).
2) If you’ve done so, and realise you’ve made a mistake, your only option is pretty much to kidnap them, and you may need the help of someone who doesn’t mind being compromised by jabs/tests.
Don’t forget, you can’t get unjabbed. I wouldn’t put too much hope in the rumours that there are ways of enabling the body to rid itself of the contaminant.
Write message on brick……..
How about pandemic policy?
Autodidactism is cool, but not when people are trying to make money out of it. A course for autodidactism? No…
Seems like a de facto conflict?
Indeed.
This is not something even to talk about.
Just do it, I say.
Only oxymorons would enroll in an autodidactics course.
It would be like publishing a book called Autodidacticism, Self-Taught. I call that taughtological! 😉
At last, a Corbett platitude I can get on with. After all that agorism and voluntarism, he hits one ‘out of the park.’ Speaking of baseball, does anyone realize that baseball was created by Freemasons? Everything about baseball, from the number of players, bases, innings, pitch counts, the shape of the field (ie the square and compass symbol of FM) various names like “the mound”, “home plate”… everything in baseball… has a symbolic correspondence with Freemasonry. Thus, the “National Pastime” of the US is really a mockery of every single player, coach, and fan who ever sat in the bleachers and enjoyed a game. Not that I don’t enjoy baseball (should say “didn’t” since I’ll probable never watch another game for the rest of my life). It’s a great sport and was fun as hell to attend games from the “majors” to little league. But just like “holly wood” know… Read more »
I can’t be the only one to have noticed the semiotic resemblance of the image of the so called virus to the potent imagery of twentieth century sea mines. The virus is always depicted as a sexed-up version of that dreaded lurking, explosive potential: their silent uncertain presence, their post war persistence wherever they wash up, and of course, the deadly, oh so sensitive spikes.
They’re probably having a laugh somewhere between the Admiralty, Getty images and Porton Down’s syndrome.
Thank you. I knew the evil spiky grapefruit reminded me of something. The memory was bobbing below the surface.
Quite similar to the medieval morning star and ball and chain flail. Both adorned with multiple spikes
Interesting stuff. I never began with Freemasons as my point on the compass, pointing them out, lol, but I keep stumbling upon their trails, all over, and all over key nexuses. Of course, having a physical birth father deeply connected to their biz (ecjlaw com : note their main phone number) hasn’t helped my original disinterest. I’m a total fan of RD Laing ever since I read his brilliant memoir 10 years past, “Wisdom, Madness, and Folly” absolutely scintillating with insights. (Plus, he was immersed in piano interests, which helps me connect to it, as I have often been.) His quote, there, of Antonin Artaud, “So a sick society invented psychiatry to defend itself from the divinations of certain visionaries…” And he adds then, early in that primer, “I had been trained to diagnose myself psychotic.” Hear, hear! All, or too much, of that is simply the fallout of: “333… Read more »
The Divided Self is essential reading, deeply humane and painfully insightful, one of the great books of the 20th century.
Laing is now dead and buried and forgotten, replaced by Anthony Fauci, Matt Hancock, the DSM, the WHO, and Pfizer. These are The Authorities on mental, physical and emotional health. No wonder children and adolescents are in such terrific shape.
May I throw Thomas Szasz into the mix?
Laing is a prophet still (much) to be reckoned with. Divided Self was on my list, but I will be sure to give it a bump.
“Even broken hearts can heal if we have the heart to let them.”
Maybe you’d be so kind as to explain those mysterious roots…[dot dot dot…]
(This numerology/”gematria”bollocks is becoming even less avoidable than death and taxes.)
Kinda interesting in a phone number for a cult of lawyers.
Far more interesting than it appears, like a cowlick of hair that refuses meta-stubbornly to lie flat. I have expanded on this elsewhere, but here I go again: as a boy, my father, the founder of the firm, ecjlaw com (Ervin, Cohen, and Jessup aka 1st corporate law firm in Beverly Hills, had told me when I helped him move his offices from a ways down Beverly to the corner of Wilshire and Beverly (next to the notoriously affluent Rodeo Drive of “90210” fashion lore) in the UCB Bldg, that he had to wait on the new main number for “The Firm” until he could get a certain kind. (Still there, as the same address, though, as can be seen on google maps.) He offered that information to me, unsolicited so to speak, from the old man. solicitor of note: https://prabook.com/web/mobile/#!profile/274898 I had overheard him mention to his 2nd wife,… Read more »
“I chronicle these facts, mostly of public record, because I have it on strong evidence that the founder of PRS was CIA’s director of Operation Monarch (Mind Control, aka MKULTRA aka Josef Mengele human experimentation) in the tinseltown of Hollywood no less.”
Hall the director of MK? I guess why not. Sidney Gottlieb played that role.
Your father was assassinated? Why?
I did a search for “operation monarch” in the Brave search engine and Cathy O’Brian’s name and web site came up prominently in the sidebar! I’m not sure what to make of that. Yes, I’ve read her books.
I’ve been digging up bits and pieces of these programs for years. MKULTRA is the main “code” name, but there are quite a few franchises. Monarch (as in the butterfly) is apparently the West Coast franchise, but there are some others.
L.A. Mayor Sam Yorty referred to MPH once as “my guru”.
And it was Yorty who seized Sirhan’s diaries June 6. He had no jurisdictional authority to do that.
Sirhan’s diaries are discussed in “The Real Manchurian Candidate” (2018, RFK 50th Anniversary, at Youtube) and phrases “RFK must die… the Master says ‘Shoot on Command’) are discussed by relevant current parties, yet no one makes the connection that MPH’s nickname was “The Master”. Which seems highly relevant to the RFK murder and poor Sirhan’s plight and endless saga (53 years incarcerated) since MPH was one of the most renowned and accomplished hypnotists ever practicing, though how he came by those “skills” is mysterious, since all I’ve found was that he was taught by his grandmother here in L.A., after his mother came here with him from Canada in the early 20th century My father (JWE) told me that nickname when I was quizzing him about that back in the day when my age was still in single digits. All of it passed as unremarkable or rather not dangerous, in… Read more »
Thanks for that Jeremiad of a quote, I had never noted the verse number, 33:3, but the “call me” is a real calling card, n’azt-ce pas? Whenever I reminisce about the old man referring to his eponymous firm as “The Firm” in private, I have to chuckle, backflashing to the Grisham novel and film with Tom Cruise, tangled up in The Firm mysteries. JWE (my namesake and father, if only by the flesh) had a royal flush of 33° Masons on his client list, Armand Hammer, Burl Ives, the aforesaid dread MPH (spookiest) and I surely suspect several others. I met a few years ago, by “happenstance” on an ocean pier, a very connected descendant of Elihu Root, who as Secretary of War in the Teddy Roosevelt era, had launched many of the policies USA Inc, LLP, Imperialism, with teeth, and I caught a scent instantly of Freemasonry, especially when… Read more »
Manly P Hall really? I take it you’ve met him?
The numbers and gematria absolutely have significance to the “thems.” They signal one another throughout their “entertainment” spells / incantations / distractions (aka “holly wood” movies/tv).
Look for “93” next time you watch one. It’s a Crowley/Thelemic “cheers mate, how’s it hangin’, see how we do it?” and anyone can find it on wikipedia (although wiki falls short in explaining it thoroughly).
wikipedia org/wiki/Thelema#Greetings
For those who might not know what I’m talking about…
6+6+6=18, 1+8=9
7+7+7=21, 2+1=3
93
But it’s so much more than signaling as I’m sure you know. And, yes, “at least for them.”
No, never met him, thank God, when I was a boy I asked my dad several times why he hadn’t introduced me, as I knew of no reason to fear him, but JWE refused. Consistently. I could never get a solid answer about that. I see MPH (I prefer not to use his name, it carries a very negative charge, for some reason) as a Mephistophelean figure, straight up. Spookiest guy ever, in Hollyweird at least. A LOT of witchcraft there, in ol’ Tinseltown , it drips at different times. One nickname for MPH was “The Madame Blavatsky of America”. That’s a clue. I know a professor who said she went to some of his classes at PRS but stopped when she became convinced he could “put the entire class under” (hypnotized). Including herself! And Sirhan speaks of going several times to his esoterica “reading library” but can never remember… Read more »
I rummaged around for the complete quote Laing made of A. Artaud, posted here 7.8.20, so here it is, once more, with teeth still sharp enough: “You can say all you want about the mental health of Van Gogh who, during his lifetime, cooked only one of his hands and other than that did no more than cut off his left ear… ….present-day life goes on in its old atmosphere of prurience, of anarchy, of disorder, of delirium, of dementia, of chronic lunacy, of bourgeois inertia, of psychic anomaly (for it isn’t man but the world that has become abnormal), of deliberate dishonesty and downright hypocrisy, of a mean contempt for anything that shows breeding, of the claim of an entire order based on the fulfilment of a primitive injustice, in short, of organized crime. Things are bad because the sick conscience now has a vital interest in not getting… Read more »
These words of Artaud are so incisive, and diagnostic of our modern temperament, that they bear repeating (again):
…of chronic lunacy, of bourgeois inertia, of psychic anomaly (for it isn’t man but the world that has become abnormal), of deliberate dishonesty and downright hypocrisy, of a mean contempt for anything that shows breeding,
of the claim of an entire order based on the fulfilment of a primitive injustice,
in short, of organized crime.”
Semiosis is the mostis.
…- True, but does it necessarily signify in every case?…
Probably not. Except, the nature of reality is such that at all points of that continuum God is communicating with us. It goes to the very atomic heart of things. At least, that is a primary principle of faith.
We simply have a practical interest to …prioritize… “as best we can”.
r/WHOOOOSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHH…
Cool sound, when sung, or as Schönbergian sprechstimme.
But *what* does it MEAN, Mr. Natural ??!
Basketball was also invented by an admitted freemason. US football is commonly called ‘gridiron’ and modern freemasonry unveiled itself at ‘The Goose and Gridiron’ pub (in 1717 just after the Hanoverians took over the British throne – think this might say something about why that happened?).
Thanks for those parallels, remarkable for sure. You solved a head scratch I’ve had for 60+ years about “gridiron” though I have heard convoluted explanations. Paul Robeson’s coach at Rutgers called him, “The greatest football player ever to trot the gridiron.” Hmmm. lol
And don’t forget pinochle …
Re-edit (SAVE function timed out): Naismith? It is interesting that it was the NBA owners who made the 1st move here in USA Inc , LLP, to cancel a game “seconds before tipoff” (lol) purportedly because Rudy Gobert, Parisian import, had “tested positive”. Also, tracking a hunch based on a plaque I had seen in 1976 on the Quai of the Seine near Notre Dame, when I lived next door on la rue des Trois Portes, I looked up the date and sure enough, Jacques de Molay, last grand master of the Knights Templar, had been executed there, on l’Isle des Juifs. On that day, March 11, 1314. (It is fascinating, too that Wikipedia removed the date recently, the 11th, and now has only “March 1314” perhaps because the 18th is also in contention?) Revenge? in 2020. I always throw such factoids into the ring, since I have found far… Read more »
When I was growing up and there was problem, I was told to fix it. I said the same thing to my children. Astonishing the genius that will erupt from not buying a solution.. This is just a fancy name for the way most folks lived only decades ago.
The (true) future belongs to the non-forgers. “Genius erupts” when we strike out and seek our own understanding rather than endlessly copied (forged) solutions, all those countless that are often no more than fads and fashions.
“In the book of life, the answers are not in the back.” “Peanuts” (Charles Schultz cartoon)
[Don’t tell that to most Americans, or any masked.]
I used to think auto-didacticism was all about teaching yourself how to fix your motor car. I think it still does…
No, that’s auto-deductism, teaching yourself where and how to save on spare parts. Even I know that. Please, get it straight.
In these times, if one wants to understand what’s going on in the world, one cannot have a narrow focus in one or even a few fields. A completely holistic approach is called for. No stone must be left unturned – all mysteries must be investigated. And it must all be done voraciously, and efficiently – with much discernment.
Trinity: The answer is out there, Neo, and it’s looking for you, and it will find you if you want it to.
On their intrepid voyage of discovery, the neophyte will come to understand the esoteric meanings of ‘trinity’ (cf 3 towers of Freemasonry) and ‘matrix’ (cf mater, Demeter, Prima materia, etc.).
You are ‘the one’ – if you want to be.
Building 1: The Sun (twin 1 – The Son)
Building 2: Saetr/Satan (twin 2 – The Father – hallowed be his name)
Building 3: Venus
Building 4: Jupiter
Building 5: Mercury
Building 6: Mars
Building 7: The Moon (The Holy Ghost)
The twin towers and their special relationship is found at the front of Notre Dame, the Washington Arch, and many other famous arches/tower pairs.
When you find out what all this means, then you’ll know it’s not just mumbo jumbo or semiotic pareidolia.
The symbolism is globally pervasive (architecture, art, literature, oral tradition, language, etc.) – primarily because of its extreme importance to mankind.
Please enlighten us as to “What all this means” and where it comes from to prove that “its not just mumbo jumbo or semiotic pareidolia” – any references would be a good start, as I am willing to learn. Particularly, if it is of “extreme importance to mankind” as you point out.
I usually suggest people start here, with this ‘family safe’ video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3ZDcj0kF_0
When you’ve fully grokked it (watched it several times to be sure you’ve caught every subtlety), then you should know where to research further.
There’s nothing really new in that video. I am already familiar with the equinoctial cycle and have Yukteswar’s book entitled ‘The Holy Science’, and also the one published by Tara Mat in 1933 (Astrological World Cycles) which discusses Yukterswar’s 24,000 cycle, the 4 yugas and the electric cycles and why the ancient astronomers miscalculated the length of the yuga cycles in Divine years instead of solar years. So where do we go from here? What subtleties have I missed and what is the precise point you are trying to make??
It’s just a waste hole. I wrote down much of his entire theory on a different article. Basically, the sun is part of binary system and we are close to the point where the star companion is reaching the location in space where it triggers the Earth magnetic poles invertion. This comes with a huge cataclysm in the form of a very high wave – hundredths of meters or potentially higher, that wipes out all costal cities (almost) all over the world. This happens every 12000 years since, only Xavier knows when. Civilization collapses and the surviving humans have to start all over again. TPTSB are actually working towards ensuring that this time civilizations can withstand this disaster and this is why they shouldn’t be stopped and want to wake up some people so that there are more “perspicacious” slaves around to ensure the new world order has a different… Read more »
Lucius, are you referring to the Dwarf Star Nibiru, aka Wormwood, Planet -X, the Destroyer, Sun’s Death Star Companion, Nemesis, Hercolubus, etc. It was allegedly predicted that this ‘planet’ would possibly collide with the Earth by the astrophysicist Frank Lake as early as July 29th 2022.
I am just pointing out what Xavier theory about what is going on really is. I don’t buy it. At all. You can dig deeper if you feel you have the inclination but I thought I would spare you some time figuring out what exactly hides behind his Ubermensch wrapped in mistery way of presenting “the truth”. I did take him seriously for a while and looked carefully in what his ideas area but in the end I don’t think there’s much ground to stand on. There is indirect evidence supporting some of his claims: the flood myths, the existence of ancient pyramids all over the planet from cultures that shouldn’t have been in touch with each other, the fact that the solar system’s planets orbital perturbances can only be explained by a large body outside of the known solar system etc. But being so certain as he seems to… Read more »
Nibiru is the planet of the crossing, i.e. the non-fixed star that crosses the galactic plane at apoastron & periastron.
Planet-X is the celestial body gravitationally inferred to exist a few thousand AU away, which supposedly cannot be a star, because the nearest is allegedly 4LY away.
The idea of a rogue planet barrelling into our solar system is disinfo.
What gives rise to the equinoctial cycle?
What is meant by “The Sun’s Dual”?
Why are there two durations given for the Great Year – 24,000 & 25,920?
Xavier you appear to have all the answers to those three questions why don’t you enlighten us? I’ve got a fairly good idea from what I’ve read years ago according to Tara Mata and Yuketswar. But you tell us your take on the issues since you posed the questions.
I gave you three answers above wrt Nibiru, Planet-X, & ‘rogue planet’.
Then per your request, I’ve suggested 3 subtleties that you may have missed, in the form of questions – to which answers will require your further investigation.
I mentioned The Sun’s Dual because this is covered by Yuketswar – so your ‘fairly good idea’ should make this one a doddle.
NB I’m encouraging you to investigate further. LL is discouraging you from doing so.
Question1. Possibly has more than one answer including the flow of aether and its connection with universal magnetism and the electricities both are now scientific facts in quantum physics which mainstream science has not yet come to terms with. The term ‘vacuum’ is often used in quantum physics to refer to the aether and sometimes referred to as the ‘vacuum-ether’. Question 2. The Sun’s dual is when the Sun and its planets and their moons takes some fixed star e.g. Revati for its dual and revolves around it in c. 24,000 years of our Earth – celestial phenomena which causes the backward movement of the equinoctial points around the zodiac (according to Sri Yukteswar). Question 3. The conditions in which the ancients made their calculations re: the 24,000 year cycle concerning the annual rate of precession was not from a fixed point but from the star Revati. The conditions are… Read more »
1) Nope. There’s a single, straightforward answer.
2) On vaguely the right track, but a novice attempt.
3) Nope*.
I could give you the answers, with full explanations, but that wouldn’t help you. What will help you is for you to research these answers yourself.
Of course, you can let LL persuade you that he’s been there, done that, bought the t-shirt, and it’s all a crock-o-shite, and that you should take the blue pill.
* Clues for Q3: 24k is correct. 25k9 is an extrapolation from an incorrect assumption. The change in sizes of each of the Yuga Cycles is related to this, as is that they are reflected, and that Satya is brighter than Kali.
Question 1. Precession is caused by the gravitational influence of the Sun and the Moon acting on Earth’s equatorial bulge. To a much lesser extent, the planets exert influence as well. This is supposed to be a straightforward answer to question !.
If the answer to question 1 is wrong Xavier its about time for you to give a full explanation of the whole theory instead of giving me the run around. Otherwise, we’ll be going round in circles for ever and I shall probably end up reaching the same conclusion as Lucius and you will have wasted your time, my time and LL’s time, together with anyone else’s time who has taken the trouble to read your posts.
I’m letting you know that the rabbit hole descends much further, and is worth exploring.
It’s up to you if you wish to further investigate, which I encourage you to do.
As I said, it wouldn’t help you for me to give you the answers.
If anything, you’d have to spend just as much time trying to corroborate them as finding them out for yourself. The latter is a far superior expenditure of your time.
You’ve come this far. You’re in a good position to continue.
Well, that’s the textbook lunisolar explanation of precessionary wobble, but it’s bunk. Not least, because it doesn’t explain precession, i.e. the gradual rotation of the celestial sphere of fixed stars.
The correct straightforward answer provides an obvious explanation for both wobble and precession.
Well Xavier, what is that “correct straightforward answer” I think its time for you to enlighten me and anyone else who may be interested to know – or are you not sure that your answer will be accepted as credible after all the intrigue. I have come to the conclusion that either you don’t really know yourself or that you just want somebody else to eventually arrive at the same conclusion whatever that may be.
Who gives a ratz a** if Freud’s cigar is just that? To him or anyone. He was the first shrink to covertly weaponize psychiatry, à la his avuncular connections to his nephew Eddy Bernays, master spook extraordinaire snd deluxe! 2X ! And Siggy was amply rewarded for his PSYWAR proclivities. Just don’t ask the late Iris Chang, cuz she’s got a hole in her head, after the Army sequestered her in 2004 at their “safe house” at Leavenworth spiked with “anti-depressants” and then let her go, whereupon she took her life with a vintage gun of the Wild West she had bought moments before at an antique gun shop in the little town of Los Gatos, when she died offroad a few miles away?! Yeah, psychiatry, call your doctor if you need help. Dr. Mengele of MKULTRA. Or, if he’s not available, try Sidney Gottlieb, CIA poisoner-in-chief. Or maybe Louis… Read more »
Nice one John, I was under the impression that Freud was a neurologist who founded psychoanalysis and was not a psychiatrist. Obviously, you know more than me on that score – but what references do you have so I can read them regarding his “PSYWAR proclivities” as you put it, which I have not studied. You learn something different everyday. I like the one about the proctoscopic cigar by the way!
My apologies if I was misbehaving, the comment was directed at Freudianisms in general, not you, so I was sort of just psychodramatizing some of my unkempt feelings about the whole arena of doctrinaire psychology disciplines, as practiced, since, like the whole virus scamology, I see so much evidence over the years that it has been gradually and steadily hijacked by Intel “interests” and abused in the service of mind control rather than in mind healing. And that always gets me going about as surely as the slightest mention of “Fauci” in speech or print. Like good credible journalists, I find good psychologists and psychiatrists ever harder to locate at large, though that may be misbehaving too to some extent, since my knowledge of the demographics is pretty “anecdotal” and not very profound. I am a big fan of Roberto Assagioli though. And Jung gets props. And many such, it’s… Read more »
PSYWAR: (full documentary)~

I guess it depends on one’s personality. I don’t like being “taught”, preferring to go it alone. This is, perhaps, a more difficult path. I started playing tennis at 35, having given up contact sports due to injuries. The club pro/coach saw my efforts in trying to teach myself how to play the game and said “That man can practise for 100 years and he will never learn to play”. Five years later I was the club champion and eventually played at the highest senior level in my country. I was not the best, but I was competitive against those who had played since childhood, with professional coaching. Perhaps, if I’d had proper coaching, I would have got there sooner, but I think teaching myself gave me better insights into the game. I read a lot of books and tennis magazines too. I taught myself how to re-string and other… Read more »
I understand that….I taught myself to do butterfly swim stroke and have had a lot of fun over the years doing 100’s of meters of it….much to the puzzlement of fellow swimmers who find it hard….
I suspect you really enjoyed your tennis for same reason…
Hi Edith
Thanks! I found tennis difficult, but easier than butterfly! I’m a good swimmer and can do crawl, breast and back pretty well. (I once even came 3rd in the final of a high level gala, doing back.) I used to swim in the ocean in waves that others considered dangerous and did body surfing. But, I never managed to get butterfly right.All I can say is well done!
Autodidacticism – The best way to learn- Personally, I feel strongly about this and believe this to be the real true way to learn- Experience, informing one self, gaining critical thinking skills- understanding the function of propaganda- Identify it first and foremost and then understand how it works to manipulate you- always. Applying logic. And on and on.
We can all do it- It takes effort initially but the skills one gains from self learning makes it easier to discern the credibility or non credibility of information
Anyone new to Grove – some of his research is outstanding and don’t be put off if you don’t like the way he comes across here.
But, if he’s teaching us how to learn, that is still didactic and not purist autodidactismo!
The defense rests.
HOME SCHOOL OR DIE!

Ancient Chinese proverb: “He who teaches himself learns from a fool.”
(On the other hand. Added for pedagogical balance.
~ Solo Autodidactico. )
How about this Arabic quote:
“He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not,is a fool; shun him.
He who knows not,and knows that he knows not, is a student; Teach him.
He who knows,and knows not that he knows,is asleep; Wake him.
He who knows,and knows that he knows,is Wise; Follow him.”
That’s Greek to me, not Arabic. I find that almost more “quixotic” than the premise of the article.
Perhaps in a more lucid moment I shall “grok” it!
Keep at it John and the penny might drop (hopefully!)
No, I did, which is to say the penny seriously dropped, it was just the sound that it made.
(At least you didn’t call me Johnny. So there’s that much. That would have been a tip off, if only in Arabic.)
Take it easy, just playin’ !
In any case, who wants to be an ancient Chinese person…? Modern people don’t see the world in the same way. They cannot, because they no longer live in those times and their consciousness of everything is simply different. I think life is a bit of a lottery in this respect: Some people are good students, but don’t always meet a great teacher of life. If they are lucky enough to meet such a teacher, his insights can confirm their feeling that they are on a secure path. I have often heard it said that the greatest teachers always seek to make themselves obsolete. That, to me, is real autodidactism in practice: The teacher opens the door. The student either hesitates, or goes inside. If he goes in, the student either recognizes what he sees there, or he does not. If he sees something that awakens his curiosity, admiration or… Read more »
Makes sense. I was very fortunate to have had one far greater than I could have ever even anticipated, or even had the sense to seek out. Once when I referred to him as a “mentor” he simply interjected “more of a consultant” which alone speaks volumes in wisdom. Early in our so-called “consultancy” when I was notably staggered by a sudden sense of the dimensions of his awareness, with dropping jaw, he deftly said, “I really don’t know that much, I can work with it, that’s all.” Such graces are given. I heard a Fr. Acton say in a sermon, “You don’t ask for grace. It just comes. I went off road in the deep south to a fabled diner and ordered their legendary 6 course dinner. But I was perplexed by repeated bowls of grits. I told the waiter as sauvely south as I could, “But I didn’t… Read more »
Thanks for that, J.
I, too, was very lucky with my ‘consultant’.
He was the one who, sensing that I was wondering if I would ‘make it’ in my musical field, told me, “Don’t think about ‘making it’. Think about being useful. You might indeed make it, but that’s not a wise goal in itself.”
His unassuming nature also showed itself in many priceless casual comments:
When I congratulated him on his 60th birthday, he said, “You know, people pay me such respect now that I’m older and have many years as a teacher behind me. But inside I still feel like the same little twit…”
What a gift and a privilege it is to meet such people and have them as friends.
Wisdom isn’t dead, but it certainly seems to be in serious trouble these days…
The only obstacle I ever had was in spending time focusing on making it.
What a load, eh?
We have been really blessed. That suffices, really.
Ah! The quest for self-improvement and learning – a noble quest indeed if you have a strong drive to know, and are prepared to make the effort and learn to separate the gold from the dross etc etc. But, its not so easy, and not so many are prepared to make the effort or take the flack from those who disagree with what ‘new research and experiences’ emerge that may often be controversial, and which may conflict with otherwise fixed ideas and the norms and values held in common by the majority. It is one hell of a job to get people in general to “know more about the world” in which they live -they seem to prefer to be trapped in the imaginary and the symbolic realms and live in the mirror of Coronation Street or Eastenders on TV rather than to “learn how to learn” in reality and… Read more »
You aren’t wrong. Most appear to want to live vicariously through the small screen, because it’s easier than forging your own path and going against the crowd. It takes an immense amount of effort and time to sift through all the disinformation and misinformation to get to the truth. And since the whole truth is uglier than one imagines, the task isn’t instantly rewarding.
However, it does ultimately empower individuals, families and communities if they can shake off the tentacles of the mind matrix and free themselves from the shackles of subliminal mind control.
You said it! “And since the whole truth is uglier than one imagines, the task isn’t instantly rewarding”.
However, what appears to be problematic, is after the task of sifting through all the information and disinformation in order to separate determine what you think is true (‘the gold from the dross’) wrt a particular issue -sometimes you still end up with a mixture (gold and dross) and there is no extra discursive court of appeal that you can turn to that can vouchsafe the WHOLE TRUTH of the issue. In other words, the gold still contains at least some particles of dross. All that glitters!
Right. Using pattern recognition, helps delineate the gold from the dross.
Understanding the subliminal mind control techniques used in the disinformation campaigns, makes it easier to spot fraud, deprogram oneself from expectations or confirmation bias and evaluate evidence more objectively.
Detaching from the ego, without resorting to the “It’s all an illusion/simulation” disinfo is trickier.
Yeh, all that works up to a point. But I have been caught out several times in trying to delineate the gold from the dross, particularly if I am convinced that I already know the truth of the matter or there is a definite pattern when in reality there isn’t one. That is, when I’m more likely to interpret the issue in terms of a pet theory or fixed idea etc which includes a certain pattern recognition model wrt the issue. For example, pattern recognition is OK (up to a point) but it can just turn into a form of grid reading where other factors and variables are involved that enter the picture that do not necessarily have any pattern or even form one. As you know, PR is usually based on attempting to find similarities that do form a pattern which are then compared with info’ that’s already known… Read more »
“Not all that glitters is gold.
Not all who wander are lost.”

‘Autodidacticism is the process of learning about a skill or a subject without a formal teacher, and today Richard Grove of GetAutonomy.info [i.e, a formal teacher] is here to help us get started on the lifelong quest of self-improvement and self-learning [autodidactism].’
Who would have guessed eh, that one can learn without the help of a teacher, with the help of a teacher?
Really useful info again from James.
Paradoxical, on its face at least, but not necessarily impractical, though one might consider an insurance policy.
In other words, autodidactism its just another one of Freud’s ‘proctoscopic cigars’ John.
Alas, sometimes a proctoscope is just a proctoscope. I’ve been dodging my appointment for months.
Don’t blame you John! Sometimes the more doctors do for you the worse you become!
REWRITE (EDITED FOR TYPOS ETC.);”SAVE” function timed out, alas. Hear, hear, I was sent at 15yo to 2 Freudian psychiatrists/psychoanalysts (as was, btw, Graham Greene, also at 15yo, back then at the virtual dawn of psychoanalysis, of great interest to me in what he holds in common, at its strangest, since I discern numerous parallels in reactions, and also typecasting by and thru our fathers) and in Beverly Hills no less (Marlon Brando put it well in his memoir, “Songs my Mother Taught Me”, that the only difference they [Beverly Hills shrinks] had made in h}s mental state was to reduce the weight of his wallet significantly: hear, hear redux, they rolled my old man for a *bundle*). Maurice Rapkin and Irving Behrens, still can’t forget their names 55 years on as one of memory’s ongoing “proctological” exams of my psyche. (Close, but no cigar.) I was having questions and… Read more »
John, priests function in a similar fashion with the confessional, it makes the penitent feel better re their burden of guilt and sin, but it also empowers the priest and reinforces social control. It doesn’t take much to figure out that some priests function as intel assets too as well as father confessors.
As soon as you mentioned the novel Steppenwolf by Herman Hesse alienation immediately came to mind – in fact total alienation. I think that anyone who reads that book today should be able to identify with what Hesse was trying to express!
-CO, priests are proxies of Jesus, and their purpose, and service, in the confessional is entirely sacramental, sacerdotal, and not social.
Speaking of my man Graham Greene, a contemporary of Hesse, that was the profiund irony of his novel about the Mexican priest in “The Power and the Glory”.
In social terms, the padre was oozing sin from every pore, and yet he gave his life for the eponymous. The sacrament of confession is not about “feeling good” but about God’s goodness to us. Pure gift, the seed of a new beginning. Though that’s plenty as a feel good story, as they say….
Jesus in a vision to St. Paul, Apostle, “My grace is enough for you, since in weakness my power is made perfect.”
As George Gershwin (or his brother Ira) sang in “I Got Rhythm”: “Who could ask for anything more!”
So. Be it.
In short, the grace is not at all dependent on the personal goodness or badness of priests. That is primary doctrine.
-CO, priests are proxies of Jesus, and their purpose, and service, in the confessional is entirely sacramental, sacerdotal, and not social.
That may be true John from the religious perspective but, on the other hand, from a sociological perspective, the priest is a functionary in the Church, which in turn is an ideological apparatus within the state which functions as a means of social control through religion and its rituals including the confessional. Surely, the priest as proxy and penitent are also social beings and interact in social and in religious terms in matters of human and ‘spiritual’ welfare during a ritual confession, otherwise there would be no none at all.
The question is, what would happen if there was no religion and social control through religious ideology?
