Something crept forth that seemed a shapeless Thought.
A fatal Influence upon creatures stole
Whose lethal touch pursued the immortal spirit,
On life was laid the haunting finger of death
And overcast with error, grief and pain
The soul's native will for truth and joy and light.
A deformation coiled that claimed to be
The being's very turn, Nature's true drive.
A hostile and perverting Mind at work
In every corner ensconced of conscious life
Corrupted Truth with her own formulas;
Interceptor of the listening of the soul,
Afflicting knowledge with the hue of doubt
It captured the oracles of the occult gods,
Effaced the signposts of Life's pilgrimage,
Cancelled the firm rock-edicts graved by Time,
And on the foundations of the cosmic Law
Erected its bronze pylons of misrule.
Even Light and Love by that cloaked danger's spell
Turned from the brilliant nature of the gods
To fallen angels and misleading suns,
Became themselves a danger and a charm,
A perverse sweetness, heaven-born malefice:
Its power could deform divinest things.
A wind of sorrow breathed upon the world;
All thought with falsehood was besieged, all act
Stamped with defect or with frustration's sign,
All high attempt with failure or vain success,
But none could know the reason of his fall.
The grey Mask whispered and, though no sound was heard,
Yet in the ignorant heart a seed was sown
That bore black fruit of suffering, death and bale.
Out of the chill steppes of a bleak Unseen
Invisible, wearing the Night's grey mask,
Arrived the shadowy dreadful messengers,
Invaders from a dangerous world of power,
Ambassadors of evil's absolute.
From Sri Aurobindo's Savitri, Canto VII, The Descent Into Night
In June, here in Japan, 94 people terminated themselves daily. A much higher number tried. We are on course for a new record number of yearly suicides. What's going on?
The above Aurobino quote says all you need to know. Ambassadors of evil's absolute rule this planet--for now. Almost everything we take for granted is a lie. Japanese are raising their hopes with the upcoming national election. But in this world, if voting changed anything it would be illegal. The late Cory Aquino was all smiles and looked great in that trademark yellow dress. But Hacienda Luisita was the reality behind the angelic facade and so the average Pinoy's passion still is to get the fuck out of the country. In Britain when they voted in the peoples' party, Labour, and Tony Blair, everyone expected heaven to descend to Albion; instead the UK has moved closer to totalitarian hell. Amerikans are finding out quickly, as the KO has said from the beginning, their messiah is just another public relations stunt.
People who kill themselves often feel worthless. They're right. This is a dog eat dog Darwinian flatland. It is a fluorescent-lit, aspartame-flavored, MSG-coated, BPA-packed, GMO-enhanced, nurdle-strewn, irradiated, fractional reserve universe. Our birthright is bliss but we lie to ourselves about the most basic things in life. Plant food is evil and only nuts question the international banking system that enslaves you and chains you to an interest-bearing black hole.
Japan's suicide rate will continue accelerating out of control because this country, like everywhere else in the New World Order, worships death and denies Spirit.
Satanic plant food-caused catastrophic global warming has suffered serious malfunctioning in Kyoto's Tango area on the Sea of Japan recently. Argos Buoys say the seas are cooling worldwide but the hysterical masses say they're heating and so we were expecting boiling waters, washed-up polar bear corpses from Churchill, Manitoba, and Biblical-like flooding. Instead, while yesterday was warm, the norm lately has been a daily high of about 73 degrees (normal this time of year 94 degrees), with overcast skies, a cool sea, strong ocean gusts and occasional heavy rain. The sea level was the way it's always been, moreover. When's summer going to start?
You gotta eat something for the journey to the cold beach so we headed for Soba Kitaguni. Next, we packed the gear in Jed's tricycle and headed north.
As we approached our destination, Jed said we should check out the morning catch at the harbor so we did that. I had just read about the tyrannical Thracian king, Tereus, in Metamorphoses, the other day, cutting out the tongue of his gorgeous sister-in-law, Philomela, after having raped her. The severed tongue moves around like a worm on a hook for a few minutes until its power expires. Look at the ninth photo. There you'll see a couple of tuna hearts, one of which was still beating, a la Philomela's tongue. Hauling in the day's catch of fish is just another day at the office for the gentlemen pictured, but for this blogger, the bloody scene reminded me the Age of Pisces is nearing its latest end. When it does so exactly is the question but northern hemispheric winter solstice 2012 is a guide. Besides, what is the point of existence when you end up as dinner for some human, or are just thrown away, if you're deemed too small, insignificant and unsellable, to end up as ant food or a snack for a lucky seagull? As Sri Aurobindo says, we prey and are preyed upon. But going back to tuna, if you were to buy one of those relatively small ones, you'd have to part with ¥1,200,000, at least, we were told.
Kansai's best beach is a stunning stretch of sand. Even though the weather was what most would call shitty beach weather it is great rain or shine. With the waves crashing into shore yesterday morning, the sound mirrored Mother Nature's awesome power. Going to a lake and and visiting the ocean are both watery but one is powerful while the other is dead in comparison. Our only disappointment was that we couldn't see any stars at night and there were only a handful of bikini-clad nymphs.
If you know where to look you can stay comfortably at the beach and eat well. Lots of seafood. One of my pet peeves, however, is watching people (usually city folk) go out snorkeling with a spear, programmed by Metallica's Seek and Destroy, catch something like an octopus, or more usually, a small puffer fish, and nonchalantly throw it on the beach like a cigarette butt. There it lies like a severed tongue, wasted. Here in Japan, there is a current government-backed "Eco" blitz. Think "eco" we're told ad nauseum. Buy this or that fridge, or this or that car. Re-use plastic bags. All this and more will make you an eco warrior battling the evils of carbon dioxide. Oh please, Erog La, fuck off.
Time to head home. Instead of Jed's tricycle we opted for the cheap train ride back to town. In the car, on my left, was the model I was looking for. Thanks Toshiko.
As I got off the train at Kyoto Station, I noticed the regal half visible Diana suspended in the night-time sky. Besides the sun peeping through clouds occasionally, we saw no other heavenly body up at the Sea of Japan. So when the Moon's digested sunlight sailed into our awareness unannounced, all was bliss. Over in the east, the magnetic star, the King of the Gods, Jove, rose, as majestic as ever. It was a wonderful surprise party for our return to Kyoto.
A vague and lurking Presence everywhere,
A contrary Doom that threatens all things made,
A Death figuring as the dark seed of life,
Seemed to engender and to slay the world.
Sri Aurobindo's Savitri, Canto Seven, The Descent Into Night
There are revolving doors between governments of the world, opposame political parties, big banks, the UN, the WHO, the mass media, arms makers and so on. They are one and the same. There are a few cosmetic differences but it is all the same beast. Its job is to maintain its diabolical control of the world at our expense. This leviathan lies, cheats, steals, murders on a massive scale--and few notice or care because we just have to find out the latest details of what Brangelia is up to.
Those who slavishly believe in the sanctity of their beloved political parties will one day understand, in this lifetime or a future one, that their sychophancy is proportional to the contempt political leaders feel for them. DC is Earth's biggest whorehouse. All Amerikan smiles are cheap. Both parties work for the banks and regard you, the voter as scum. Amabo's pick for "food safety czar" is Mr Revolving Door, Michael Taylor. He's done time with Monsanto (Agent Orange, DDT, PCBs are good for your health.) and the FDA. This guy wants to patent the entire food chain and ensure that we all have to eat dangerous GMOs.
Monsanto is a real environmental threat to life on this planet. The Matrix deceives us daily with plant food is evil chanting sessions. And so most of us fall into Erog La's trap. Butterflies, bees and songbirds are disappearing because of petrochemical, GMO, and nuclear pollution; not because of CO2. Bankers and their poodle sluts rule the world. Once you understand this you know Amabo is as genuine as his teleprompters. The half black (or is it 1/4, 1/8, 1/16?) White House messiah is nothing but Boy Bush on steroids. The evidence is blatant. Look.
We we were much further away from the center of the eclipse' path than I thought. I figured I'd have enough time to adjust things, but it was over nearly as soon as it began.
Still, I was completely unprepared as this was a business trip to Ningbo (near Shanghai) China, and I was lucky to have anything with me to take a shot.
My first (and statistically, likely my last) total solar eclipse.

Save the Children, eh? I wonder how many do-good charities save the children from unnecessary pharmaceuticals and x-rays, government, mass media and UN propaganda, chemotherapy, fluoridated water,GMOs, MSG, BPA, HFCS, aspartame, bovine growth hormones, chemtrails, interest-bearing money as debt made outta nothing...
Kevin Miller is a documentary film maker. His latest film is Generation Rx.
Just as I saved my initial comments for this entry, I noticed a Vox sponsor ad from "Foundation for a Drug Free World". Ignorance is bliss when 10% of Amerika is on a violence and suicide-inducing SSRI, drunk on cheap beer and smoking agribusiness fags.
How many handfuls of people have died from so-called swine flu since this time last year? Not too many. In the same time, how many have died from iatrogenic* causes?
Don't suppose there could be a connection between the WHO-mandated swine flu hysteria and the billions to be raked in by pharmaceuticals?
Youthful Phaeton hears his father is the Sun so feels he needs proof he is the son of the Sun. He goes up to His Majesty's palace and meets dad. Phaeton wants to drive dad's chariot for a day across the sky. The Sun knows this is insane but had previously promised his son anything he wanted. Without the skill necessary to drive the chariot--not even Jove is capable--Phaeton causes Earth to burn and eventually Jupiter/Jove kills him with lightning.
Know your limits.
