Mid Summer’s Eve

 

I haven’t posted much lately because I haven’t had much to report. Like everyone else I am just trying to figure out what is going on with Gaia’s ascension and humanity in general as it enters this new age.

Well, enough time has passed now for me to have a pretty good idea so I will share it. First, I would like to state that my information comes from visions and seeing things on the different levels. I then need to interpret what I have seen and that is often the tricky part!

Collectively we are all seemingly holding our breaths waiting for “something” to happen. The real key to understanding this is “what is not happening!”. The higher aspects of our souls have moved in, moved into the new crystalline 3D and are determined to play the new game of crystalline 3D. So forget 4D and 5D as a destination point, at least until you part ways with this current physical body. God and Goddess (us!) want to play for awhile in the Garden of Eden; play at being human. So, they are not letting it get trashed! They are also not about to give special powers to individuals that want to leave the new game! If they play without special powers or privilege, then so will everyone else, damn it! Individuals can through a tremendous act of will, do something self destructive, but for the most part collective self destructive actions are out of the picture for good. It’s taking a long time for the powers that be/were to figure that one out! The new universal laws that govern physical manifestation encourage collective growth in a positive direction, but forbid collective growth in a negative direction! This is simply because high ranking souls have pulled rank. They allow individual free will in both directions, in fact they empower it both ways. Those that want to get caught up in negativity will find it harder than ever to escape the vicious circle of their own creation. But really, it is becoming harder and harder for the survivors of this ascension (us!) to do anything self destructive. You can check out any time you want, but you can never leave! Chuckle.

This of course is balanced by the fact that it is harder than ever to move forward as well. The crystalline nature of our new reality has/is crystallizing around us and leaving us trapped (?) in personal realities of our own creation. Those that are still self-destructive should have the final vestiges of that taken out of us by the fall equinox! Pay heed to this! Those who live by the sword will die by the sword! This is to make room for those of us that want to live in peace!

This is also an organic ascension while our society is artificial. This creates its own problems that are becoming more apparent each day.

Those concerned about our space brothers and sisters? Well, they will remain where they are right now in 4D, 5D and wherever . . . We can visit them (if we have developed those parts of our souls) but they can’t visit us here in crystalline 3D. This should be pretty obvious by now. Those in physicality are going to remain in physicality in this newly under construction Garden of Eden until they choose to pass on.

Perhaps the biggest factor in the new world is personal empowerment vs. old eon collective empowerment. Those of us that have “ascended” have graduated from the “collective” soul paradigm.  To do things for or against the “collective” are simply no longer possible. Energetically speaking, when we do something that is truly in our own best interests, it now benefits the collective. When we harm ourselves, we harm the collective. That is almost paradoxical! To act in our own interests now moves humanity forward, while being self destructive isolates one from all others.

Through this coming harvest it will be seen just how “immune” we have become to the “negative” effects of our new physical reality. It will truly take an act of “will” to behave in a self-destructive manner.

We, and that means myself as well, are so trapped within our own outworn beliefs that it is difficult to move into the new energies and the new paradigm. The new energies that are creating a new humanity, a golden age as has never been seen on earth before.

The reality is that people are struggling in this transitional time. We have certainly not arrived to those golden shores and our old world is fast becoming obsolete. Let me take my last post as an example. After I discovered the rare issues of Der Orchideengarten my mind raced to the logical/illogical conclusion of printing out limited editions so I could finally make a little money at this hobby of mine. Perhaps even quit my part time job! Chuckle.

Isn’t that old eon thinking at its grandest and most pervasive? The trouble with humanity in the past has been to keep the good stuff for the elite, the ones with money and power, while  also keeping them inaccessible to the poor and needy? The haves and the have nots? So despite my own posturings of new eon thinking, I am just as prone to fall into the old ways as anyone else. Can you think of other examples of; “this product is only available to paying customers”.

Thankfully my own soul sets me straight when I stray off the mark. While it is true that there is an elite in this world and always will be an elite. The elite of the new eon are those that create through personal effort, not those that manipulate and suck off others. Some people will remain slaves because they choose to remain slaves, they refuse to help themselves. They insist on being passive wretches that live pathetic lives with no reason to get up in the morning. They have that right as well.

But the new ways are coming and moving forward in the most unlikely places. The new energy is about personal self empowerment and creativity. The old ways are about passive entertainment and soul sucking debt. Think about it. Oh, I forgot. No one knows how to think anymore.

We can see the new creative energies perhaps most clearly on youtube and the old soul sucking ones on facebook. Youtube is a cultural phenomenon that is at the leading edge of where we are going as a planet. Creative energies are freely shared, expressed and enjoyed. Facebook is an expression of passive entertainment and mass dumbing down through hypnosis.

Public radio and television are funded by those that believe in the vision of a commercial free medium, that is not to be swayed by corporate pressures. Even churches take up offerings each Sunday to meet day to day operating expenses. Then of course there is the musician on the corner who sits and plays all day for the coins that passersby care to throw in their direction.

Anarchist Word is such a place. When confronted with the choice of sharing my material freely or not sharing, I have chosen to share it even if I can’t make a living at it. Our society is in such a sad state of being that the general population is so caught up in taking that it has no concept at all of creative sharing.

Now think of nature. Why do the birds sing? They sing because they have to! And I sing because I have to! Perhaps my song is a bit odd, maybe even a bit dark and uncomfortable, but it is my song and I’m going to sing it. Limited editions of these magazine may come out in time, but you can read the material first online here for free at Anarchist World! It just might take awhile. In the meantime I need to catch up on some of my neglected blogs. I hope people have enjoyed the previews so far! I am doing more translating than ever and seemingly not getting anywhere! Sigh.

Talk about interesting times! I’m beginning to feel a bit stretched to say the least. At least I will be having a four day weekend to catch up with some of the blogs on Anarchist World!

I try to follow my inner guidance with these things and am amazed at how well things can and do work out if I have the courage to keep on going on my idiosyncratic path. Chuckle. Last post I mentioned my excitement about finding the complete set of Der Orchideen Garten, the world’s first fantasy magazine.

Well, it seems that was just the beginning! There were 51 issues of Der Orchideen Garten, and it just so happens to be equal to the weekly publications for the first year of Jugend and Simplicissimus! I have previously toyed around with the idea of translating the first year of these two major art and literary magazines. In fact, they are on Anarchist World and preliminary work is already being done.

So, take a deep breath. Hopefully by the end of August I will have the first in a series of limited edition signed and numbered issues of:

Der Orchideen Garten Volume I, No. 1

Simplicissimus Volume I, No. 1

Simplicissimus Volume I, No. 2

Jugend Volume I, No’s. 1&2  (the first issue is a combined issue, that’s why two issues of Simplicissimus are offered)

These magazines can not be bought individually. They are part of a limited edition set limited to 300 copies. Each magazine will be signed and all three will have matching numbers! A new set of all three magazines will hopefully come out every two months until the entire series is complete. (51 issues!) We are talking a four to eight year project here! I’m pumped for it!

Each magazine will have original full color front and back covers with black and white interiors to keep the cost down. Each will be translated into English for the first time. Artwork will follow the original as closely as possible. This means contrasting the faded paper to pure black and white/greyscale for photos; airbrushing all the old German text out and inserting clean English text with format changes as needed. Simplicissimus will need the most format changes since it was printed in newspaper format.

Each set will cost $30 plus postage and handling. That comes out to about $10 per signed and numbered, limited edition magazine! This is a collector’s dream and I’m certain that once word gets out, each set will go quite fast!

I’ve posted the links for Jugend and Simplicissimus below so you can see what all the excitement is about! There are no plans to print more issues, only to offer them as ebooks. In fact, they will be available as ebooks as well. Currently over half my book sales are ebook sales and that is the future. This limited edition is simply for us old timers that like holding the real thing in our hands. This is an important literary event and of great consequence. I feel proud to be able to do this.

I will post more information as the set becomes ready for shipping. You may preview the stories on the blogs as before. Consider them rough drafts. As the collector editions go on sale the blog posts will be deleted to make room for the next issue. In this way the quality and content can be sampled far ahead of time as needed before each magazine is completed.

I’ve currently finished Simplicissimus Volume I, No.1 and half way through No. 2. Lots of work still to go on Jugend and Der Orchideen Garten although it is progressing. Feel free to keep an eye on my progress with these projects!

Der Orchideengarten

Jugend

Simplicissimus

A very quick update on my latest addition. I’m absolutely thrilled to announce the coming publication of the entire Der Orchideen Garten series! I hope to have the first limited edition issue out by the end of next month in time for Midsummer’s Eve! Details will follow as available.

 

Der Orchideen Garten was published for three years and is considered the world’s first fantasy magazine. It was founded four years before Weird Tales. This rare magazine has been long unavailable and I intend to take full advantage of this small window of opportunity.

 

I plan a limited edition facsimile in the English language limited to 300 signed and numbered copies. This is obviously going to be quite a bit of work, and I will need to get going on it. This will take away from the regular Anarchist World web pages so please be patient with me. This is also my ticket to quitting my weekend job so that I can devote more time to Anarchist World!

Made it through the summer solstice/full moon! Talk about a powerful time! Has your garden been planted? Metaphorically speaking? From here on through fall it is upkeep, early harvest and late harvest. What kind of harvest do you expect? What seeds have you planted?

 

For me of course, it is Anarchist World! This has gradually taken shape before my eyes and I love what I see and love what I do. It is a living thing and I wonder what kind of harvest it will bring? I’ve added one final blog and need to restrain myself from adding any others until I have completed those already being worked on. The Deadly Days by Werner Walz is the final addition. I think it wonderfully rounds out the variety that can be found here. A sample reading will instantly show that it packs just as much energy as any of the others and perhaps will bring even more as it progresses.

 

And make no mistake about this, compare these blogs with any other blog out there and what is different? What grabs you or turns you off? It is the energy contained in these works! And this energy is not to be found elsewhere in the English speaking world of today! That is why this literature is so important. It is powerful, creative, emotional, visceral and most of all human! It will make you uncomfortable and stir things up, but it is not the sugar coated candy that passes for literature these days.

 

This is also why Simplicissimus and Jugend are both so important. They are organic, heartfelt, and creative works written by humans that enjoy being human; something that we have forgotten in our quest for electronic gadgetry. The stories and issues are timeless in their humanity and they remind us that one hundred years ago they struggled with the same things that we struggle with today!

 

I will be offering issues of Simplicissimus and Jugend as signed and numbered limited editions of 300. The format will be 8 1/2 x 11 with color covers and black and white interiors. They will be grouped together. Simplicissimus was a newspaper style periodical and Jugend was a normal magazine format. These collector editions will both be in magazine format and carry the original artwork as much as possible. Obviously that means the format of Simplicissimus will need to be modified extensively from a three column page to a  two column page. Jugend will essentially be using the original page (cleaned up to pure black and white) with a new translation and perhaps some modifications because I don’t wish to have any print smaller than 10 pt type. What this means is that what you will be getting if you choose to purchase these valuable collector items is:

Issue 1&2 of Jugend (the first two issues were originally combined into one issue)

Issues 1&2 of Simplicissimus  (two individual issues)

 

So you will be getting four issues at one time. Two issues of Jugend and two issues of Simplicissimus. This will continue with issues 3&4 being offered in combined sets as well and so on for the entire year. You will not be able to purchase these collector edition magazines as separate entities.

I will not be offering non-collector editions. You cannot purchase these online but must place your order directly through me. More information will follow as these collector editions become available. Each set will contain matching numbers and it will be possible to reserve certain numbers if scheduled in advance.

 

Later these will be combined and offered in book form but without the color covers or the interesting classified ads. In short, the book version of Simplicissimus and Jugend (the first year)will not be as  complete or as visually stunning. Obviously they will not be available for a long time as well.

 

Well, things are going well and I’m very satisfied with the new Anarchist World Ezine. I’ve added a few new blogs:

Richard Dehmel-Redemption

Rainer Maria Rilke-The Early Poems

 

Poems go quite fast and you are seeing me post more of them when I only have a little time. When you consider the wide variety of subjects and authors, Anarchist World is certainly a very amazing place! And its only going to get better.

Three serialized books are near completion and will be starting at the beginning soon. They are:

Hanns Heinz Ewers Brevier

Hanns Heinz Ewers Illustrated Stories

The Synagogue of Satan

 

So don’t be surprised when you start seeing posts that you might have already read-others have not! This is the concept of Anarchist World. Two years from now these same serialized books will be repeating so that new readers can sample them. In the meantime perhaps a few will want to buy them!

 

As to earth changes and the earth ascension scenario, a lot has been happening! The summer solstice is three weeks away and these three weeks will be quite interesting indeed.

The final events of this summer/fall have entered the printing que which we call the akashic records. This happened during the last full moon when “balanced” events were allowed through the filter. By “balanced” I mean that they conform to the new laws of physical manifestion on our newly ascended planet. Many of you have probably felt that things have been stuck or highly stressed. Well, the things that made it through are going to do excellent and the ones that didn’t will have to try again next year. You will be seeing quite a bit that falls by the wayside. You will also be seeing some interesting new things begin to take off in surprising ways. That includes this site!

Speaking personally, I’m still working through back issues with my chiropractor, but this also has taken an interesting twist. There are three places in my back where it is bent to the side. Two of these were bent 6 degrees off vertical! One was responding quite well (the one in my neck) and the one between my shoulder blades was responding much more slowly. Well, I’ve run out of money for treatments, but luckily chanced upon something that seems to work wonders for me. (I am not a doctor, don’t take this as professional advice)

I simply placed the broom on the floor and lay down on it so that it went up and down along the left side of my spine where I was getting the adjustments. Then by raising my pelvis I was able to “roll” the point of impact where my weight came down on the broom handle so that my entire upper back got a good massage! I must confess that it put my back in much more permanently than individual sessions did. That is because my entire upper spine was forced to conform to the straight line of the broom handle and the pin point weight put the pressure exactly where it was needed! Things also seemed to align much more deeply! My back muscles were certainly sore for a few days after that, but seem quite well now. I am also doing this twice a day until there is no more stiffness or soreness in my back at that location.

My chiropractor also helped me with some new posture and that was truly a miracle. When you walk straighter, you feel better. When you slouch, you feel tired and discouraged!

After the summer solstice I will be coming out with another personal blog called:

OAK: Morals and Dogma

This will be a companion volume to Magister Templi and Modern Survivalism, my two OAK titles. OAK: Morals and Dogma will glean important concepts from previous mystery schools of the western mystery tradition as well as some new concepts that I’ve gleaned from other more modern sources. Think of Albert Pike’s Morals and Dogma and you will get the idea, sort of. I am a long time student of the western mystery tradition and most of the German authors I translate were part of that tradition as well! An initiate can recognize the concepts that are written about throughout the fictional stories. This is why I enjoy translating them!

My specialty is Rosicrucianism, Scottish Rite Freemasonry, the Antient and Primitive Rite of John Yarker, the OTO, the Golden Dawn and the theosophical society.

In this sense Anarchist World is a mystery school for the new age! It contains both the new energies and the continuation of the old mystery school energies. Even the German fiction that I translate serves a very important purpose. You will not find stories like these anywhere else in the world. I’m getting ready to take up my role as teacher/story teller. Actually, I’m already doing it and Anarchist World is my vehicle for making our new world a better place!

 

Bright blessings!

It’s been two weeks since the kick off of Anarchist World. The response has been fantastic in terms of those that have found the site seem to like it and every day new people begin following their favorite story. I love it!

I’m also quite happy that perhaps the favorites seem to be “Fire Lilly”, “Simplicissimus”, “Jugend” and “India and I”. These are also favorites of mine and I look forward to translating them. In fact, they are included because of my desire to translate them. Sadly, I have just begun translating these books and new installments will be slow in coming so please bear with me. Consider Anarchist World an ezine that comes out with new issues every so often, even though only individual stories update.

I will be using a round robin approach meaning that I have a list of books I need to translate and submit posts for. That way none will be missed! So bear with me! I need to repeat that this is a labor of love, but I still need to work two jobs to support myself. That means all translation work comes after a sixty hour work week. I would love having weekends free to work on more translating but that will not happen anytime soon.

If you are a regular visitor and believe in what I am doing, consider supporting Anarchist World with a monthly donation of $3 or $5. It is only the price of a cup of coffee and a doughnut! It will really help!

That said, Anarchist World is my dream and I will continue it as long as I can; adding new titles as old ones are finished. If our new world is ever going to manifest, it needs our hopes and dreams to make it real. This is my song and it fills me with joy when others enjoy it as well. There is an energy here that you won’t find anywhere else, a magickal energy that throbs with life and the love of living. It is a creative energy that we don’t find very often in our synthetic world, an organic energy that grabs physical life with both hands and creates beautiful and sometimes frightful things. It is our new world.

Wesak/Beltaine and a few adjustments

The full moon in scorpio with the sun in Taurus signals the wesak festival or the Beltaine festival as you choose. The new spring growth bursts forth with earth energy and this earth energy is everywhere and filling everything.

So here we are, the new earth and we were never supposed to get this far… The original plan was to harvest the life on earth that was capable of making the transition to 5d and letting the rest go back to seed, to create life once more from scratch on what remained of planet earth.

I guess someone forgot to tell us because we brought it all with us. When we said, “Beam me up Scotty.” We beamed up our entire planet with us and now we’ve got to figure out what to do with it. Earth’s ascension was a “last man standing” scenario and here we all are. We look around and see some good and some bad, but we are all survivors and we made it through the portal. Now things are different and it is time to clean up the mess.

There are still some straggler lightworkers suffering with physical symptoms which they think are ascension symptoms. The reality is that they are being acclimated to this new reality, the one that was never supposed to be here. As they adjust they will be joining us and bringing much needed technology and skills as well.

Let me give a couple examples. In the last week my wife had a mini-stroke and requires surgery on a plugged carotid artery. She made it this far on her own. Now science can help prolong her life. She went as far as she could. Now things are happening that could not have happened before. Good things.

I fell on the ice a month or so ago and was having increasing back problems. A couple of days ago I went to a chiropractor for the first time in my life, and not just any chiropractor! Oh no, this annoying one is determined that he can straighten my back that has been bent by a life time of hard work despite advanced degenerative joint disease. In that first session he cracked my spine in over twelve places! This ongoing process will take nine months to complete.

The thing is that I am an energy worker. With every new adjustment, more energy pours in and with it more vitality! This is the rejuvenation process at work, with the help of my chiropractor. For my wife, it is with the help of her doctors.

As we look around and see the others that have survived, whether they be Republicans or Democrats; good or evil; know that the pure act of survival means we have won. The fight is over. Now it is time to rebuild a new world that was never supposed to survive this long. The future is in our hands and we are being given the help and support we need from the other side. What we have done was not considered even possible and there is a great joy in heaven.

Bless us all, everyone!

My birthday is April 24 and I’m planning to celebrate with the Grand Opening of Anarchist World! Several years ago I struggled and experimented with various ways of trying to make it as a writer in today’s world of independent publishing.

I started publishing my stories on blogs and while I gained quite a few readers I never sold anything. I stumbled upon a way of publishing serialized material that seemed quite successful in terms of enthusiastic readers. The basic concept is simple, yet powerful. By using wordpress blogs to future post episodes of stories I could pre-post entire books ahead of time and then use rss feeds to project those episodes onto my own webpage. Imagine the chaos of a webpage that renews itself with new episodes every day or every other day and follows several books at the same time!

Then I began publishing translated material and gave that up as a curiousity, but not going anywhere.

Well, over the years I’ve learned a few interesting things about the various kinds of readers. There are readers that will buy limited editions of any work by Hanns Heinz Ewers that I can produce, or SideReal Press can produce. Many will buy well done hard cover books as a preference while other still want the physical book but will opt for the cheaper quality paperback. The new generation of readers buy ebooks, notably epub editions but pdf files as well. This is a growing readership and no one knows how it will affect the publishing industry long term. Almost half my book sales are ebook sales.

Then there is another even more interesting group, the one’s that read ezines. They prefer to get their reading over coffee breaks or on the run fifteen minutes at a time. This is why short stories have done so well on the internet. However, my past experience has shown that serialized novels do almost as well if they are in demand.

Then of course there are those readers that are morally opposed to ever buying anything that is on the internet. They are the ones I ran into at first. Now the most interesting thing is that none of these groups of readers mix or mingle. They are almost separate social classes of people with different values and drives.

To put things bluntly, offering my books online as serialized adventures will not significantly harm sales of hardcover books, quality paperback books or even ebooks. It may even help sales by greater exposure to a growing readership.

So it is that on April 24, 2013 the serialization of twenty books will begin on Anarchist World.com

In addition I will be creating a second page where supporting members can list their own blogs if they want to. So much is in preparation and time is running out. The main layout of Anarchist World is completed for those curious to check it out, but serials will not begin until April 24.

Titles include;

Anarchist Knight: Apprentice

Modern Survivalism

Magister Templi

Book of Shadows

The Sorcerer’s Apprentice

Alraune

Vampire

Hanns Heinz Ewers Volume I

Hanns Heinz Ewers Volume II

Hanns Heinz Ewers Illustrated Stories

Hanns Heinz Ewers Brevier

Moganni Nameh

A Book of Fables

India and I

Synagogue of Satan

Satan’s Children

Fire Lilly

Jugend- The First Year

Simplicissimus- The First Year

Lemuria

 

Obviously many of these are not completed but will be offered one episode at at time as they are completed. Still, many have been completed as well, or are quite far along. As books are completed new ones will begin.

Spring Equinox- Magic Glasses

The spring equinox is only days away and I offer at this time a summary of things as seen by me this past few months for what it is worth. At the winter solstice the energy of the godhead was directed into Gaia’s new Unity Grid and totally empowered it for the first time. Since then we have seen, felt, and experienced not so much the ascension of our souls; but rather our souls coming down to live with us in our physical world. God has come to us rather than us going to God.

While this is happening to every living thing, we humans tend to fall into two camps according to our hard wiring. The first camp belongs to those souls that have lived since the beginning of the old experiment upon Gaia and share most closely with her. As this is Gaia’s ascension, those closest to her are being transformed the most. They have been given new sensory abilities to augment and alter the holographic crystalline 3d reality that we seem to find ourselves in. [note: this is really 5d reality when we have eyes to see it] These new abilities are now in place to the extent that they are going to be and we are now aware of them as much as we ever will be. We now need to learn how to use them.

For those that have been with Gaia through it all, these new abilities are fully integrated into conscious awareness like a HUD (heads up display) that constantly monitors different levels of reality to give a multi-sensory life experience. Think of those video games with the various maps, radars, health indicators and such. These accessories are to help us play this new game and to empower us. This HUD is perhaps the luxury version and comes in different levels for 4th,5th, 6th,7th and 8th density souls.

Those space brothers and sisters who have come to help with Gaia’s ascension are also being gifted with these abilities but because they are not fully genetically attuned with Gaia, they have received magic glasses instead. When they put these glasses on they are able to access the same information as the HUD displays but temporarily lose sight of the real world, the 3d crystalline reality of the new game. So this group needs to continuously put these magic glasses on, get the information they need; then take them off and apply that information in real world terms. The danger is to become so enamored of the magical visions that physical reality is not taken care of.

Since the winter solstice many of our space brothers and sisters have incarnated into other living species here on Gaia. I swear that our cat has suddenly become a space cat and taken on almost human qualities and mannerisms, unlike any cat I have ever known.

As the godhead has entered our world, so have the angels and spirits. Is there really much difference from us entering their world or them entering our world? How can we expect to enter a galactic confederation of other life forms when we don’t even recognize the souls and intelligences that exist right alongside us on Gaia’s surface. As we learn to live in harmony with our existing co-dependent life forms and species, we learn to live with our space brothers and sisters as well. There has come a blending and mixing of both worlds, the large and the small. The end result is somewhere inbetween.

We remain living in a 3d hologram, but now we know that it is a hologram and we have been given tools to edit and control the hologram on an individual basis. If we choose to do this it requires effort and learning on our part. If we chose not to, then we remain at the mercy of that choice as well.

The Unity Grid is exceedingly gentle in its functioning and this ascension has barely been noticible to this point; unless one has attuned to it. There are new rules and physical laws for manifestation now in place and things do not work as they used to. This is becoming more and more clear. More and more is happening on an individual level and not on a mass level. That is because this new game in an individual players game in a collective world. The world is collectively created but individually experienced. In the old world things were individually created [created by a few] and collectively experienced; just the opposite. Now it is time for us to shine as creators of our own destinies.

The spring equinox marks the locking in of abilities and gifted earned through the ascension process. If you don’t have it by now, then you are not going to get it. But every living thing has ascended and every living thing has been given new abilities to help them in this new game. They have either been given the appropriate HUD or a pair of magic glasses. From this point on it is simply time to start using them to advantage.

Bright blessings,
