Before I get to the meat, I'd like to bump these quotes of the day (which may actually be considered the meat by at least one of the four of you reading this):
The learned man controls the stars; the ignorant man is controlled by the stars.
-- Hermetic wisdom
With sword and firebrand, races obliterate the records of their predecessors, then inevitably meet with an untimely fate for need of the very wisdom that they destroyed.
-- Manly P. Hall
Salt doesn't burn.
(But it does decompose)
-- C. Masta
Anyway, here goes:
It's funny that [in our modern-day society]...
The layman appreciates not his own worth.
The scientist thinks not for himself.
The slave obeys the richest man.
The richest man lives a poor life.
The poorest man lives a rich life.
The sage hordes his knowledge.
The teacher disillusions his student.
The doctor harms his patient.
The farmer poisons his food.
The lady crushes the gentleman.
The destination is valued above the journey.
The righteous is labeled the heretic.
The most hygienic is among the least clean.
The material is prized beyond its worth.
The substance is ignored or pushed aside.
The illumined is lost in the dark.
***
Excuse my use of all masculine pronouns. If it offends you, please stahp being offended by it.
Lest we allow the law of attraction to fulfill these prophecies, please do note that this is how it HAS BEEN and certainly not representative of how it WILL BE in the near future. Or the present now. Which was the future then. And is now the past. Ahahaha time is a mindphyck.
Later, dweeb (thanks for reading).

Sacrifice
At some point or another, sacrifice was incorporated into the human canon.
Perhaps it was in naivety that this occurred, but regardless, it has followed the modern human, likely from its inception, all the way up until today.
It all stems from the same thing: Fear.
In the beginning, sacrifice was noble; necessary to the survival of the human race. Imagine that your woman and baby were hungry, but you had only caught a single rabbit that day -- the climate had recently been thrown out of whack and most of the other animals had died off or been eaten already. Catching the rabbit with your bare hands and skinning it with your makeshift tools was an ordeal and a half, and there was no telling when you would find another, but babies need to eat, lest they be too malnourished to grow properly, and the woman needed to be on her guard to make sure it wasn't carried off by something bigger. You, having been conditioned for the hunt, recall that the patch of edible mushrooms you had found the other day would probably be ripe in flush again tomorrow anyway.
Ethos: 5/5
Pathos: 4/5
Logos: 3/5
Later on, a primitive understanding of weather caused humans to believe that they must sacrifice various symbolic things to the Gods, lest they be unhappy and cause global disasters that would cripple the supply of fresh food or water. In the meantime, more intelligent specimens discovered methods of preserving food for long-term storage (i.e. fermentation) and stockpiling water in the case of either occurrence.
Ethos: 5/5
Pathos: 1/5
Logos: 4/5
Eventually, enough evil humans got together and devised a plan to enslave the masses. Whether or not their intentions were initially good is up for debate. They were successfully able to convince enough humans that an almighty being would deliver eternal damnation to those who did not offer sacrifice to their religious establishment to create a false dogma that is still in place today (but finally receding significantly).
Ethos: 1/5
Pathos: 4/5
Logos: 2/5
Though we are close to another paradise in human society, sacrifice is still ingrained in the human psyche as something that simply must be done, which might be a positive truth, except that the benefactor of this sacrifice is now less often the greater good and more often the material self. As one surrenders to the wants of their ego, or material body, the instantaneous comfort that they feel tends to condition them to continue doing this and thus ignore their higher bodies (intellectual, spiritual).
Ethos: 2/5
Pathos: 4/5
Logos: 3/5
At the inward extreme, learned ignorance causes one to selfishly cling to what is 'theirs', often in disregard of what is fair or right. Drunk with entitlement, the higher bodies suffocate. At the outward extreme, one sacrifices more than they had to begin with and the higher bodies starve.
***
I don't really know how to find the perfect balance yet, aside from just being mindful and letting the pendulum swing: Yeah, sure, easier said than done. At its core, it's still pretty much Pavlov conditioning. If you associate good feelings with good behavior and vise versa, you're about half way there...
Good luck finishing the race from that point.
I'm going to sleep on that. 'Til next time.

On the power of knowledge, Qigong, and love
Before we begin, note that I was not genetically gifted with an abnormally strong immune system -- in fact, since I was a caesarean baby, my immune system was slightly compromised from the get-go because my newborn body was not colonized by vaginal microbes, leading to a slightly higher-than-average frequency of sickness and recurring infections in my ears for the first ten or so years of my life. This may have had other potential unrelated effects later on, but all of that would be undue speculation and thus I will refrain from following this tangent any longer. I was also a moderate cigarette smoker for about eight years, but recently quit (almost two months ago).
Anyway, let me share with you some of my own empirical evidence in strong support of the benefits I have noticed following about three months of daily active/meditative Qigong practice, eight months without a shower, and years of a mindful (yet by no means perfect) diet:
1. Even years ago, my colds, when treated with fairly natural remedies like water, tea, fruit, spicy food, supplements like Emergen-C, and abstinence from cigarettes, never lasted more than seven days (from onset to complete remission), usually more like five, and with debilitating symptoms lasting only two to three. This is by the power of diet alone. In the most extreme case (when I was madly in love), I fought off an inescapable cold in three days from onset to complete remission. Note that I was in China at the time, so couldn't read the ingredients in anything that I consumed, and was forced to make do with less than eight hours of sleep per night. Tea and fruit juice are very cheap there, though :] . I haven't been able to beat three days (or even four) since then, despite learning more about biochemistry and the workings of the immune system. Love is truly the ultimate medicine.
2. Fast forward a few years to after I stopped showering (I still wash the extremities when necessary, mind you, but haven't formally bathed since July of 2016). Since that time, I have only been sick once, despite being around many sick people in the high-stress university setting. That time was in December 2016, before I seriously began to practice Qigong (however I was still doing daily morning workouts) and the virus was harbored by two biologically naive 19-year-old roommates. At that time, I was in the midst of an emotional upheaval, so the illness was essentially inevitable (in case you didn't know, your immune system is compromised when your emotions are compromised). Even so, the cold was mild and lasted only four days from onset to remission. The roommate that had gotten me sick and refused to take my medical advice, instead opting to take daily doses of Dayquil/Nyquil, remained sick for about two weeks after I had recovered. The roommate that accepted my tea offerings remised some time before that. We infer from this that much pharmaceutical "medicine" does not actually treat disease, focusing instead on masking the physical symptoms and, as a result, slows down the natural healing process by distracting your body. Note, however, that in order to maintain momentum in our modern lifestyles, this may actually be necessary sometimes. The lifestyle is not the focus of this post, but is often extremely relevant in cases of dis-ease.
3. Fast forward again to this past weekend, traveling from Missouri to my parents' home in Illinois, in the midst of somewhat of another emotional upheaval, and greeted by another set of unfriendly respiratory viruses. Despite a sugar-laden (but still fairly healthy) diet, alcohol intake greater than one glass per day, and a hand washing regimen that would probably make your doctor shiver, I am pleased to report that I have successfully generated the appropriate antibodies and fought off the viruses that tried to infect me, sans symptoms of respiratory dis-ease.
YEAH!
In light of all this, I will also share with you my recipe for Super Immunoblast Tea, which I consumed a couple of hours after smoking cannabis and soon after walking home in sub-freezing temperature. A day later, I still show no signs of becoming sick.
Super Immunoblast Tea:
Turmeric
Black pepper
Lemon peel
Ginger
Chili powder
Cocoa powder
Himalayan sea salt
Coconut manna/oil
(Local) honey
Boiling water
Garlic (this will make it stronger, but may not improve the taste)
Stir, steep for at least two minutes, and consume without straining.
Note: Feel free to add, substitute, or subtract ingredients as necessary. Coconut is probably the best fat to use due to its antiviral properties, however the function of the oil is primarily to extract more active components from the spices. You can use something else (like butter or whole milk) if you prefer.
Figure 1. Modified image of Super Immunoblast Tea. The large chunks are pieces of powdered ginger, but the freshly grated stuff is probably better. Notice the resemblance the solution bears to the cosmos. Interestingly, upon dilution with cold water, a visible temperature gradient is formed.
4. I now wash my face less than once per day, but also break out with acne less often and less severely than I did in the past. This could, of course, be a natural result of growing older, however I think it has something to do with the natural symbiosis and the Qigong :]
5. Despite no longer having a job, there are still numerous stressors in my life (including not having a job). I think I deal with it more effectively, though.
6. Not really related to the immune system, but I also feel stronger on my regimen of active Qigong than I felt on a regimen of working out alone, despite doing fewer weight-bearing exercises.
7. I haven't gained much, if any, fat weight following the cessation of smoking cigarettes, despite being only moderately active.
Oh, yeah!
In unrelated news, yet full circle to the original objective of this blog, I now have two songs available to purchase on Bandcamp if you'd like to support my future endeavors. I plan to release them as part of an EP sometime in the near future as well, so be on the lookout for that. I may or may not use the image above as album art. Note also that you don't have to pay for my music if you don't think it's worth anything.

The New Age
All too often, trying to be a 'good' human being gives me flashbacks to the day in high school that I found a $20 bill in the hallway, handed it to one of my football coaches and asked if he could do anything, only to watch him pocket the twenty and walk away.
Or the many days spent trying to convince locals to get serious about the political process in efforts to avoid or at least lessen the negative impact of the impending doomsday.
Or the more recent day that I tried to bring a passionate geology major to the local quarry, only to be accused of sexual harassment and detained from award of my Masters degree.
Similarly, being one of the few teaching assistants in my University's chemistry department actually passionate about teaching the undergraduates chemistry and using our rare and valuable knowledge to change the world for the better, only to be taken off the payroll for a month and subsequently told that I would not be needed the following semester.
These are but a few examples of struggles endured by the Indigo Children.
At this point, it is easy to say, "Fuck it", and give up trying to be useful to the world.
But we do enjoy a healthy challenge.
To you, Indigo Child, my message is this: Persevere. If you must recluse (as a verb), better yourself in the process. One day, we shall inherit the Earth once again, and at that point it would be a huge shame if we just allowed the cycle continue as it has. Prophecy suggests that the time for good to overcome evil is nigh.
To you, layman that somehow came across this blog post, my message is this: Join us. You have been lied to by many people (perhaps even including me), and the truth may be closer than you think. Open your eyes (specifically the one in the center of your brain)! Question everything! Think critically! Our powers as higher and more able forms of many trillions of cells in synchrony are greater than either you or I know.
No matter how large you are, the world is larger.
No matter how small you are, consciousness is without bound.
No matter your struggle, chances are someone else endures worse.
No matter how bad things may seem, there is plenty of good to dwell on instead.
That all being said, here is a link to my most recent song, written in hopes that it will find the right people and either tickle their intellect or initiate their journey of discovery:
(And it's available for high-quality download here: https://cmasta.bandcamp.com/releases!)
Perhaps my next post will be on the lyrics. Until then, try to interpret them if you find yourself with nothing else constructive to do.
I also recently put out an update of a project that I have been working on. The link below would be a constructive read as well:
Biochemistry of Healing
There is a slide on multiple-stranded DNA in case you were wondering how that project is going. Maybe it will be finished sometime.
I'll see you on the other side, if not before.
Peace, love, and music.

Your mind is about to be blown
I wrote this e-mail in response to a Bible-bumper and decided I needed to share it. I hope he comes around. Merry Christmas (and Happy Hanukkah).
[Slightly modified for readability and effect]
[begin]
I (and others) have reasons to believe that many ancient books were composed sort of as "Arks of the Covenant", with the real knowledge hidden between lines of the literal text. Here is something that I have synthesized about the past based on things I have read and interpreted from a variety of different reputable sources over the years. Yes, reputable is kind of subjective -- deal with it:
Up until around fifty to one hundred years ago (at least as of recently), knowledge of things such as stars, causes of atmospheric phenomena, and the Earth rotating around the Sun, was not colloquial. The "gap" between educated and uneducated has only grown larger in the past twenty years, thanks mostly to the internet. Anyway, those that are taught "sacred" or "classified" knowledge are also able to confound the commoners by using either high technology and/or their learned pattern recognition to perform miracles and/or predict the future. Of course, many of these people were considered and worshiped as Gods in the past, when the commoners didn't know any better. Some of them used their knowledge and influence for good, but some of them got greedy, as those with power tend to do, and instead used it maliciously...
Being more "fit" to thrive and reproduce, the "Gods", their progeny, and perhaps some of their lucky disciples remained in power, many accumulating more, primarily in the form of money, land, and/or influence. Unfortunately, altruistic elites with the desire to stop the malicious were either outnumbered, outspoken, overpowered, or a combination of those, and the deception was allowed to continue. Apparently this viral cycle has repeated itself multiple times in recent history.
***
Relevant definitions:
The Alpha Mentality: Primal survival instinct associated most heavily with type-A personalities -- an aggressive tendency to be the most successful, have the most women, the most money, most power, etc. -- that is inherited from the genetic material (RNA/DNA) that encodes us, itself wanting simply to replicate and thereby spread its influence.
Inertia: An object in motion remains in motion until acted on by force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
Entropy: Defined mathematically as the heat differential over the temperature differential (dQ/dT), entropy can philosophically be rationalized as an effective signal to noise ratio of the universe. The signal to noise ratio is always increasing as more particles encounter one another and become entangled. As this occurs, the universe "learns", or maybe more accurately, "evolves", almost exactly as a human brain does, making new connections among existing neurons, which allow electrical signals to travel more quickly and efficiently through the neural network. A perfect crystal (i.e. a structure so stable that there is no motion whatsoever) has zero entropy because it does not evolve, no matter how much heat, pressure, or time it is subjected to. A perfect crystal has never been discovered, at least to my knowledge.
***
The modern archetype of God may in fact have been derived from a real, living human(s) with light skin and a long beard, as many ancient texts and drawings depict mysterious predecessor humans with these physical characteristics. Whether or not they had real superhuman powers is still up for debate, however I certainly wouldn't be surprised if they did given that humans in earlier times probably didn't have to deal with nearly as much ridiculous, artificial shit as we do today, thus were able to focus much more on their own personal growth and exploring the world around them.
My view of God is as a metaphor for the force of creation and being, not unlike your own, however I think that God set the universe in motion approximately 13 billion years ago and subsequently became everything within its bounds. By that logic, you and I and everyone else all have the potential to awaken that which sleeps within us and reunite with our LORD once again. All it takes is an open mind and practice -- we've been misled, but we are still the children of God. As per math, when infinity is divided by anything less than itself, the quotient is still infinite.
I hope this makes some sense, too...

Biowave theory
Since I haven't posted in about a month, this is a message that I recently attempted to relay to Nassim Haramein -- I hope it finds him. If not, it found you:
I like your style and just want you to notice that DNA is shaped like a sine wave and its derivative when you look at it from the side. This is in support of the coherent light being hypothesis (that I just gave a name). Interestingly, one "wavelength" of DNA is approximately 3.4 nm, depending on the 'link number', which [matches that of a] deep UV [light wave]. This is consistent with at least one intuitive prediction despite being kind of hard to grasp academically (i.e. UV tends to break bonds, but maybe of low enough intensity...). Associations of Gariaev et al. say they detect and use radiowaves in their holographic DNA information experiments. I haven't done any experiments myself, but I think radiowaves could resonate with either a long overtone of the wavelength or some longitudinal acoustic mode [(i.e. as a frequency)]. Just some stuff to think about.
I admire your work. Happy Holidays!
**
In addition, I realized today that maybe, if DNA is used to send and receive EM waves, the natural base of the wavelength logarithm would be about ten (~10.4 bases per complete helical turn). Perhaps this is why humans have an affinity for that particular base in mathematics.
Happy Winter, Merry Christmas, and Happy Hannukkah (among others)!
I like your style and just want you to notice that DNA is shaped like a sine wave and its derivative when you look at it from the side. This is in support of the coherent light being hypothesis (that I just gave a name). Interestingly, one "wavelength" of DNA is approximately 3.4 nm, depending on the 'link number', which [matches that of a] deep UV [light wave]. This is consistent with at least one intuitive prediction despite being kind of hard to grasp academically (i.e. UV tends to break bonds, but maybe of low enough intensity...). Associations of Gariaev et al. say they detect and use radiowaves in their holographic DNA information experiments. I haven't done any experiments myself, but I think radiowaves could resonate with either a long overtone of the wavelength or some longitudinal acoustic mode [(i.e. as a frequency)]. Just some stuff to think about.
I admire your work. Happy Holidays!

Another reason why eggs are among the healthiest foods on the planet
Happy
Week-That-We-Really-Need-To-Start-Being-More-Thankful-For-Things!
I
have now made deviled eggs a whopping twice in my life (both this Thanksgiving
week) and have since convinced myself that the fluid balance in my recipe is
perfect. Given that, I guess the world deserves to know my secret...
First, the recipe for some bomb
deviled eggs:
1.
8 whole, hard-boiled
eggs
2.
5 Tbsp Mayo
3.
1 Tsp Vinegar
4.
1 Tsp Mustard
5.
SPICE
Note that the recipe is extremely
flexible and scalable. I use cage-free eggs, apple cider vinegar,
poupon/horseradish mustard, mayonnaise made with olive oil, and a liberal
myriad of whatever spices I’m feeling/are available (get creative). Sea salt is
the [good] shit. Also note that I prefer to make food that will extend the
lives of those who eat it rather than shorten them, hence the non-conventional
staple ingredients. Either way, it’s hard to ruin the health benefits of eggs. Note that eggs from humanely raised,
cage-free chickens are way better than those eggs you can get
at Wally World for 88 cents a dozen. I’m half-Jew and even I can resist the urge to
buy the cheapest thing on the shelf when it means I'm supporting something I believe in, so you can, too. Don’t encourage that.
Now for the good part – I think I figured out a new
reason why eggs are among the healthiest foods on the planet and you will be
among the first to read it:
Eggs contain lots of
Sulfur. When anaerobes in your GI tract ferment organic sulfur compounds like the
amino acid cysteine, they produce H2S (the sulfur analogue of
water), among other small sulfur-containing molecules. You also naturally
produce H2S and use it as a signaling molecule, albeit in smaller
quantities. When you fart, you release a small amount of the gaseous metabolite
(which exhibits a characteristic "rotten egg" aroma),1
that may, believe it or not, actually be beneficial to inhale. Note that H2S
smells strongly because it is toxic in larger quantities and naturally
abundant in places like volcanoes, therefore your nose has receptors that have
evolved to detect extremely low concentrations of the gas. That being said, if you hold in too many farts, the H2S will be
directly absorbed back into your system and is much more likely to poison you from the inside, since in that
case none of the gas is dissipated.
Anyway, recent
research indicates that H2S is a pretty potent anti-inflammatory
chemical at low concentrations, suppressing the expression of inflammatory
cytokines including IL-1β, TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-12, and IL-23, among others, and in
some cases increasing the expression of anti-inflammatory IL-10.2
The molecule is also involved in mediating NF-κB and cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2)
activity,2 the former of which is involved in recruitment of other
cytokines and the latter of which is the same enzyme that traditional NSAID
drugs like aspirin are thought to inhibit. H2S is a pivotal player
in tissue repair likely due to its stimulatory roles in mitochondria, its
ability to modulate the growth, death, and activity of immune cells, as well as
its physical reducing power. It has
also been found to foster a healthy GI-tract, due both to its engagement in
gastric mucosa signaling and likely also to its inherent antimicrobial activity.
Experiments suggest that consumption of H2S-precursor drugs do,
indeed, reduce inflammatory symptoms in mice and rats. 2
Take-home message: Fart-gas is actually an antioxidant, so sniff up.
Since this
was just kind of meant to be a fun fact, that will be all for now. For more
