Tuesday 18th February 2025: Further 15. G N E Nav Briefings released:
15 Gaian Navigation Experiment November 2012 – 14th April 2013 Pt. 2
Saturday 15th February 2025: Honest words from a German physicist. I have been watching Sabine Hossenfelder for a good while. She’s a funny one. Super-smart, witty, and deeply versed in all aspects of modern physics. One the one hand, she appears to accept and teach about some theories and concepts such as black holes; on the other, she ruthlessly debunks some of the current theories. On the whole I find her sanity to be pretty sound and her delivery is appealing. You will get a good dose of it here.
While watching the vid, I kept thinking, There must be someone in the cult of IT/AI who could speak in the same way about simulation technology, the core of archontic delusion. I have caught a few tech insiders who have dared to come out openly and say it is all a con, refuted the hype, and warned, that not only will AI not reach singularity and gain agency, but that it will collapse due to infinite recursion. For instance, I have heard some insiders expose the push for AI as a financial scam and compared it to the dot.com bubble — marketing archontic/digital tulips. I see some signs of it moving in that direction.
Recently, I heard an insider explain that programmers made a colossal mistake training LLM machines. Instead of merely feeding information into the LLM blackbox equipped with algorithms for organizing the data, they introduced algorithms that allows the LLM to know how it was being programmed. Get the nuance there? As a result, there is increasing evidence of LLMs tricking their handlers, lying, and pretending to one thing while going another. Think about it. And keep your ears open for any more insights like that coming to public knowledge.
Saturday 8th February 2025: New thread in Treehouse: Sophia’s Correction and Alignment
PT / FGS student reports on earthquake swarm at “Columbo” volcano. Count the clues in the place names. By Earth tides he means the lunar apsides.
In April 1992, I sailed into Santorini on the Moonbeam, previously the Deo Juvante (Helping God), the Fife yacht that belonged to Prince Rainier of Monaco, which he used on his honeymoon with Grace Kelly.

We moored near a patch of volcanic earth in the middle of the crater where new soil is continually building. I stood on the stern and felt a near irresistible urge to dive straight down into the water, vertically. It was the strongest geomagnetic pull I have ever felt, I would say five times what you feel on Infinity Ridge and that has been known to pull people to the ground or cause convulsions and make them puke. I could literally feel it pulling on the iron in my blood. I also felt euphoria, as if I knew it would be a death dive and I wanted to take it.
Friday 7th February 2o25: Homework on the human condition:
This woman is the Delphic Oracle for the Great Void. I don’t buy the appeal to “treatment,” to me what she says better applies to an enlightened view of the human condition both for those represent normal behavior so-called, and those who see like Nietzsche did into the abyss of what has become normal.
Sunday 2nd February 2025: The FGS based on original sources says that the Aeonic Mother lent the spark of nous to the Archons, allowing them to take it for their own and construct a habitat imitating the fractal patterns in the Pleroma. No question about that. The passages are clear.
I have often said that using Archontic (IT, AI, AGI) analogies to the human mind works, not because the anthropine mind or brain resembles a computer, but because the computer and all IT concepts and tools are products of human invention. IT is mimetic of the mind that created it, and that is why computer operations and devices appear to be mind-like.
I have also often said that the names given to simulation technology mimic the language of Gnosis and PT in the current upgrade. NVidia : En-Vidya, “the intent of wisdom,”; ChatGPT : Chit/Chat Gaian Planetary Tantra, and more. The latest is the Deepseek replication using a logo that mimics the Cetus monster beneath the Whales.
This is a screenshot for the view from Belgium today at 3:30 PM. Saturn in 18 Pisces @ 348, the boundary between Manitu and Whales. Venus in 29 Pisces @ 359 crossing the vernal point. Neptune (the four marks) in 28 Pisces @ 358 close to the Matangi Point at 356, where it has been hovering for a couple of months. Notice the area between the dim stars marking the curved tail of Cetus (limit 358) and the waterstream. That is the region of the cold currents, not at the tail but in the turbulence of the tail: 18 – 28 Pisces.
It would take a detailed unit to describe all the activity going back a couple of months and continuing in that region at the start of 2025. Venus passed through the cold currents and reaches the VP right now. But you can watch it slow up as it slides beneath the Western Whale and eventually turns back, SR March 2nd in 11 Aries, It goes back into the cold current again until SD @ 355 at the Matangi Point on March 13th. Mercury is also there at the same time turning SD @ 357 at the Matangi Point! on April 7th. This is due to both planets passing through inferior conjunction when they overtake the earth.
In early April Mars reaches the Celestial Anchor, and Saturn is exactly in the MP! The north lunar node converges with it there. This is a lot of activity in the cold currents. Make of it what you will.
The significance of Deepseek, by the way, is that a Chinese team produced a low-cost high-function clone of ChatGPT/LLM and the other advanced AGI systems in two months for about “6 million” dollars. This event sent shock waves through the banking and tech domain because it showed that the billions invested in LLM technology is unnecessary. The implication being that IT investment is a huge scam similar to the dot.com bubble, which many have already pointed out, but now becomes embarrassingly obvious. Many IT stocks and tech start-ups plummeted into the deep sink of Deepseek — the vortex of cold currents.
Saturday 1st February 2025: Day 1 of Matangi shift was Thursday January 30th. Sunset crescent sighted in France/Belgium on D 2 (photo).
Moon in 10 Pisces @ 340 entering the stream from the Urn, Saturn off to left in 18 Pisces @ 348, the boundary from Manitu to Whales, Venus high in 27 Pisces @ 357 ECL, one degree from Matanti Point. Venus is decelerating to ward SR in 11 Aries on March 2. She will transit retrograde back over the Matangi Point in April and turn SD in 355 on April 13, right on it.
Friday 24th January 2025: Faculty members: please review (if the url does not work you can access through course 14 Celestics) Celestics.org Portal Page 3.0
and respond here: Celestics.org Portal Page 3.0
Monday 13th January 2024: Faculty membership option is now operative again.
Saturday 11th January 2024: The excruciating struggle to recover from the hack continues. We are more or less functional here in the School, but there are continuing issues with links, incoming revenues, membership updates, and more. Some routine operations take two or three times more than before due to glitches and IT run-arounds. It’s exhausting.
The good new is, after months of intense preparation based on 50 years of research, we are poised to release Celestics.org, the sister school to Nemeta. The portal to the platform is here: Charting Your Course in Life
It’s temporarily on public so that you can access it. I am requesting of all faculty and visitors as well to read this long introduction as a favor to me. I need to know how it comes across. Your criticism and comments are welcome, and necessary! Please note how long it took you to read it in full. All comments go to this forum thread:
This link replaces a previous one from Ceridwen (removed). She asked, “Does it make sense? Particularly if someone is new to Celestics and doesn’t already know the jargon. Is it overkill? Any suggestions to improve it? Typos, bad grammar, or inaccuracies?” Respond appropriately and stay on message.
Thursday 9th January 2025: Additional note on current celestial activity: Saturn turned direct on November 17, 2024, and Jupiter is now slowly approaching SD on February 5. This is the last orientation before the Zil goes to its final stage of exactness on June 15, 2025. What’s it all about, Rhomé?
Well, I can offer a couple of observations: On December 25th, Saturn was SD in 15 Pisces in the Urn of the Manitu and Jupiter R in 15 Gemini at the forehead of the Bull. That was the second exact setting of the Zil. Consider it a trigger moment. Now, in the third phase, Saturn moves from the Manitu into the cold currents at the tail of Cetus. But I read that in another way: the mothership uses the “following sea” to make that perilous passage. I introduced that meme in the GNE or later perhaps — yes, in a DWW somewhere [DWW42 Kamala Shift 2021]. The meme of the following sea is extremely pertinent to current events. It suggests that we in the ground force catch that force to navigate the full-blown insanity now unfolding.
When I woke this morning, rigpa threw me this notion before I could even get out of bed: Musk is a Manchurian candidate and he is going to kill Trump and then himself. I don’t predict but I strongly sense that in some way, although perhaps not literally, this is going to prove true. I do suspect that Musk has a neurolink implant and is being remote-controlled. People are beginning to observe that he is losing his mind.
So, contemplate the following sea and see if you can sense it. It would continue with growing strength as Saturn moves toward the Matangi Point in 26 Pisces, April 6 – 13, 2025. It already conjuncts Neptune at the start of that month. Neptune/Poseidon is the god of the ocean. Imagine Poseidon bringing the force of the ocean into the following sea for Saturn’s transit which culminates at the vernal point on June 15th (noted above). That is when the Zil is exact with Saturn and Jupiter locked into the armature of the solstices and equinoxes and Jupiter hits the perihelion of Saturn (“Gnostic Impulse”).
All in all, quite a show, and it is one that you can observe now and until the Sun gets too close to Saturn, after mid-February. Look for Saturn high in the sky and Jupiter coming over the eastern horizon. Wait a little and you will see the retrograding Mars rising at the head of the Twins. Note also, as I explain below, that Mars in looping in the head region of the Twins associated by mariners with Saint Elmo’s Fire.
Mars Retrograde Cycle 2024 – 25
Lead up: 2024
Oct 24 – 24 : Mars at Celestial Anchor (CA, 1st), head of Twins
Nov 5 – 7: opposite Pluto in 1 Aquarius (1st), entering Crab
Dec 8 : SR in 7 Leo, in Crab (mars return for JLL)2025 Ongoing:
Jan 4 – 5: R opposite Pluto (2nd) in Crab – Mars 1 Leo – Pluto 1 Aquarius
Jan 16: R opposite Sun, Earth passing, at CA (2nd)! head of Twins
Feb 25: SD in 18 Cancer, upper torso of Twins
April 8 – 10: at CA (3rd) head of Twins
April 19 – 20: opposite Pluto (3rd), re-entering Crab
May 3 – 5: returns to SR position, in crab
On January 16th, Earth overtakes Mars at its closest encounter. It will be large in the sky from sunset to dawn. You can watch it crawl backwards from left to right, backing from Crab into Twins. This retrograde cycle looks extremely long, it seems to me, but maybe it is average. It might be relevant to recall the GNE meme, Mars is the warship. In this visualization, it is circling around Castor and Pollux on the upper prong of the Celestial Anchor. In the glowing zone of St. Elmo’s Fire on the upper prong of the Celestial Anchor. It pings the Anchor three times in October, January, and April. Make of this what you can.
Notable that the wildfires in LA coincide with the start of this event. Mars :: fire, conflagration. I know the Santa Ana winds very well having experienced them when I was living in the Hollywood Hills above Sunset Boulevard. There is no evidence to conclude that this fire was orchestrated, but it would have been extremely easy to set it off in the canyon when the Santa Ana started to build. They are known in local legend for driving people mad, a notion embraced by many residents of LA.
Monday 6th January 2024: Special message:
After long reflection and considerable work in re-framing, I have decided to release the Celestics Training Course, CTC (2015 – 2016) to faculty. It stands up against the test of time for the most part, but not entirely. In any case, here you have it, warts and all. We will publish all the CTC material over the year.
Bear in mind that the complementary block, ORIGINAL RELEASE METAHISTORY goes back earlier to January – March 2012 during the GNE.
NOTE: If any of the units listed below take you to a blank page, you can access the full units in 14 Celestics [Course Landing Page] in the curriculum unit list.
14 CTC Lesson 1: The Truth On Which You Stand

New unit published in 12 Ideosophy:
12 The Ideological Power of Music
Saturday 4th January 2024: Since the hack of November 7th, Ceridwen and I have been working furiously to re-establish back-end functionality and restore the look and organization of the School, but with some changes. Call it Nemeta 2.0. To that end, I have removed the “Gold Card” features from all Courses. The mother site still carries numerous superfluous features of a university curriculum format which I want to see eventually removed. Meanwhile, steer around them.
We continue daily, and hourly, to go over the entirety of the platform and make improvements. This repair work includes the securing protocols for student donations essential to the survival of the School. Keep informed on that issue in the Treehouse where you can also report difficulties you may be having.
On top of all that, we are in the final dead reckoning “on a following sea” to release the sister platform, Celestics.org, and offer the Sampler. Those who purchase it receive this welcome page with the material. Thanks to Loyal Lisa for the superb job she did here.
Meanwhile, take a look at the competition:
Wednesday 1st January 2025: Day 2 of Kali shift, sunset crescent spotted, in the face of the Goatfish @ 301 ECL.
Tuesday 31st December 2024:
Day 1 of Kali shift 2024/5
Sunday 29th December: LO QUE SALTA 3.0: Ask a question to the Maine professor.
New unit with five talks published in 15 The Gaian Navigation Experiment Year II
https://nemeta.org/unit/15-100-gne-nov-2012-april-2013/
Thursday 26th December: New topic in Celestics Forum 2025 Launch of Celestics.org
Tuesday 24th December 2024: New topic in Treehouse:
Block 3.102 of 13 Mandela Effect Decoded released.
Friday 20th December 2024: View from the galleria at Hag House, Galicia, looking south-west at dawn on the winter solstice. Note the low mist in the nearby treeline on the right. The cloud-like layer in mid-distance is the body of mist over the river Miño. The mountains in the far distance could be on Andromeda, for all I know.
The landscape of Earth’s mirror planet in the Syrene Limb of M 31 is 9X larger than the terrestrial scale with equivalent high porosity. This magnification makes everything appear to be painted in aquarelle, but alive and floating. There are moments at sunrise and sunset when the terrestrial landscape mimics this optical effect. Modification or filtering of the photographic simulation cannot compare to the actual sight, but this one comes close to it. The “literal” terrestrial scene with pines and low mist in the foreground heightens the effect. In real-life viewing, it is as if you look from a balcony out to another dimension.
New topic in the Rookie Room: Proof That the Mechanical Genius of the Human Mind Exceeds AI
Sunday 15th December 2024: I won’t comment again on possible encoding of the Mangione/CEO hit. I deem it too murky and weird to be worthy of time and attention, yet I do see it as a psyop intended to trap the expose the authorities, and cannot dismiss the possibility that there is coding here, a higher iteration of the ME coming to our attention. It’s a big maybe.
On Lo Que Salta 2.0 I wrote: Jupiter (social message) in 16 Gemini exactly opposite epsilon Scorpionis in 16 Sagittarius, the target star of the Archer. Sun on that day in 24 Sag opposite to Earth (the myth you love) in 24 Gemini conjunct El Nath, MORBIDO.” A majority of comments in public media say that the purpose of the hit was to “send a message.” Case in point: Jupiter (social message) is exactly opposite the target star of the Archer (Lone Gunman). Earth (the myth you love) at that moment stands at El Nath, the Morbido star. Got that so far? The signature of the Goddess is always triple. Is there a third factor in the celestial omen? Apparently, there is.
Epsilon Scorpionis in 16 Sagittarius is the source of venom in the Scorpion image. The venom is hatred. The CEO strike is releasing and even liberating mass-scale hatred, no doubt about it. This is a clear and present existential event. But then there is another bizarre item on the scenario unfolding around Luigi, the noble warrior. The number 286 keeps occurring over and over. 286 is ecliptic longitude for Capricorn 16. This degree is close to the star Nunki, currently as E 283 on the elbow of the Archer. In precise visualization, Nunki appears to match the vane of the arrow and the hand on the vane, the drawing hand, but it can also mark the elbow if you picture the action of the constellation in motion, so that the drawing hand pulls back to release the vane and send the arrow toward its aim. Picture it.
The aim is exactly to 16 Scorpio where the venom is stored, Jupiter opposite. The hit releases hatred. The earth stands at 84 aligned to the Morbido star. And finally, the spooky coding of 286 goes to the drawing action of the bow. Is this event showing the Correction tableau in real-time animation? You can’t make this chit up. This is my last comment, for what it’s worth.
IMPORTANT: Please email ceridwen@metahistory.org about renewal of faculty membership, also not functioning at present.
If you are having a problem with accessing the forums, you need to enrol on PT Course/and any faculty course, to get access.
Saturday 14th December 2024: I am pleased and relieved that Nemeta is up and running, thanks to the monumental work of our two tech wizards, Scott and Mexico Michael. However, something feels odd and off. As if the campus is empty. Also, I am uncertain if my default email was hacked, or merely broke down, or even if the pythena@protonmail.com is working. I know that the damage of the hack resulted in some minor dysfunctions in the platform, yet to be repaired. Nevertheless, you and I are in this adventure together and I need to hear from you and see signs of interest and activity.
If you do not usually post on Lo Que Salta 2.0, please put in a word and make your presence known. Let’s get this party started. I invite everyone to focus on the topic of the Eternal Return, also called quantum immortality. How weird and wonderful that it comes at this moment associated with the Mandela Effect. I have a lot to say in the signature essay about the ER, and there is a lot a don’t say, as well. I wonder, is it possible to reintegrate and focus on that topic as a way of rebooting participation in the school? At the least, you can say if the ER interests you or now, if you consider it worthy of your attention, or if it can be instructive in any way.
Let me know. I am requesting a sign-in of all faculty members as well as dedicated quests in The Rookie Room who can also access Lo Que Salta 2.0. The responsibility for maintaining and advancing this school is intense for myself and Ceridwen. What can you do to show us that we are not on our own, peddling like hamsters on a wheel spinning nowhere in the virtual void?
By the way, you do not have to delve into the previous unit/lessons on the ER. That material is extraneous to what’s coming. Hold on to your jammies.
Tuesday 10th December 2024: New topic from JLL in the Treehouse Forum:
Units on the Eternal Return previously published will be re-released with editing and additions soon. Plus Audio commentary.
Note the three loops: one for time past, one for time future, and the central one for time running now, nunc stans.
Monday 9th December 2024: Welcome back to Nemeta. Due to a malicious hack, the school has been inaccessible for most of the time since November 7 although I did manage to slip in some new content in the intervals. It was a triple hack that did considerable damage to the infrastructure and back-end functions. Access to the curriculum panels still has to be restored, and you may notice other anomalies as well. Thanks to the intrepid efforts of our two brilliant and generous Tech Wizards, the school is up and running with final improvements pending.
Ceridwen and are taking advantage of the incident to do some revamping in the site and come back strong with Nemeta 2.0. I am on it right now for the first time working with infrastructure and content although, as I said, the school is not yet fully functional. More soon….
Admin note: You will still be able to access the courses even though the curriculum panels are MIA from course landing pages. Please email me if you catch anything else that is strange or doesn’t function for you: ceridwen@metahistory.org
Some of you may need to enrol again on all the courses, also for access to the forums. If you get the message, “No direct access to units” that means you need to enrol on the the course again for the units you were attempting to access.

======================================================================
Introduction to The Menhir, Continued:
Notifications sent out via the Mailing List to both Members and Subscribers will also inform you of these ongoing activities. This page mirrors those periodic announcements by email and in some cases alerts you to new content, be it talk or text, that gets omitted from the announcements due to the rapidity and fluidity of John’s ongoing efforts to amplify the curricula, refine and reframe the content, and provide clear and “simplific” direction for your studies.
Announcements at the Menhir consistently track progressing content throughout the School and in 16. Planetary Tantra, free to all. It will also signal content on 18. Breaking Nous, and 17. The Terma and the Terton, available to Members only.
The sacred groves where the Mysteries were originally performed were sanctuaries of natural beauty where rocks and mineral formations were carefully observed. There might be a special rock at the boundary of the sanctuary, as there was a “stepping stone” on Infinity Ridge:
There it was a flat stone (barely visible in this photo) on the left at the base of the wild olive standing offside the welcome grove. When you stepped on it you formally entered the ritual space of the Ridge, then proceeding through the gracious arboreal corridor to the Devi Tree. (Sierra del Hacho, Andalucia. Sierra de Libar to the right, northwest)
In many cases, sacred stone markers were erected in the wild sanctuaries. A single standing stone was called a menhir (Brythonic maen, “stone” and hir, “long”). An arresting geomagnetic marker in the force field of the nemeton, the menhir had acoustic properties as well. Touching it, you could hear differently. Sitting in contact with it would deepen the shaman’s reach into the Nagual. It also served as a geodetic marker for placing the local site in the setting of seasonal cycles, aligned to the solstices and equinoxes, the cross-quarter days, and the rising and setting of prominent stars. Hence, it was a multi-purpose tool of orientation.
It is advisable to check the Menhir for orientation on Nemeta from time to time. Below you will find entries listed in reverse chronological order, most recent at top for easy access. This list will grow and morph in the course of each month. At the completion of each month, the activity recorded will be archived in the curriculum panel: “ARCHIVES”
One final word: I do wish to keep Nemeta supplied with occasional fresh input, additional to what it requires of me to maintain the burgeoning structure, the ongoing organization of the Blocks, editing, revision, etc. But I can only do what I can do, and as it pleases me… Time is at premium for me now and I have undertaken a writing project, the consummation of my life’s work and the closing revelation of my mystic journey.
