Seriously sick Professor Jordan Peterson seems to be hallucinating or conflating as he pontificates on the allegory of the "Story of the Buddha" mixing it up with the Christian interpretation of the "Story of Adam and Eve" and Paradise Lost in terms of Joseph Campbell' "hero's journey."
God is going to be so proud of us that we killed His children who were born into the wrong team. Teach them to stand up to the West, the imperial rulers of one hemisphere and soon to be two. Ah, it's good to have a genocidal God to follow, worship, and obey without question. If Jewish Bible scholars say He says, "Kill thine enemy," what were we to do but obey? They also say they're the "chosen ones," so they must know, being on a first name basis with the God (YHWH) and all. We're sure to get into heaven now. Thank you, CIA. Thank you, Pentagon. Thank you, Air Force, Marines, and Grunts on foot who are always the first to be sent in. If it weren't for our overlords playing 3-D chess on such a massive scale, with guns and bullets, where would we be?
Yamabushi (山伏, one who prostrates oneself on the mountain) are Japanese mountain ascetic hermits [1]. They are generally part of the syncretic Shugendō religion,* which includes Tantric [Vajrayana] Buddhism and the indigenous Shinto [2].
Their origins can be traced back to the solitary yamabito ("wild hill people") and some hijiri (聖) ("wandering Buddhist ascetics and renunciants") of the eighth and ninth centuries [3].
According to American writer Frederik L. Schodt:
"These positively medieval-looking nature worshipers carry metal staves and conch shells and wear straw sandals and sometimes a hemp cloth over-robe with the Heart Sutra written on it. They follow a mixture of esoteric or tantric Buddhism mixed with Shinto, the native animistic religion of Japan" [4]. More
Kundalini: The Evolutionary Energy in Man by Gopi Krishna HAS 4.7 out of 5 stars with 230 reviews: Coiled like a snake at the base of the spine, "Kundalini" is the spiritual force that lies dormant in every human being. Once awakened, often through meditation and yogic practices, it rises up the spinal column and finds expression in the form of spiritual knowledge, mystical vision, psychic powers, and ultimately, "enlightenment." [This is not real enlightenment or bodhi as defined in Buddhism, but what other traditions consider "enlightenment."]
This book is the classic first-person account of Gopi Krishna, an ordinary Indian householder who, at the age of 34, after years of unsupervised meditation, suddenly experienced the awakening of kundalini during his morning practice.
The story of this transformative experience, and the author's struggle to regain balance amid a variety of powerful psychic and physiological side effects, forms the core of the book.
[This condition afflicts an estimated 100 or so Westerners a year who visit India and go "crazy" from either exposure to energies, the Himalayas, the Moon, mystics, god beings (possibly extraterrestrial or interdimensional), artifacts, or dedicated practice... It has happened to two young blond Americans we know of and one we met who, like Gopi Krishna, regained stability, earned an advanced degree, and tries to counsel victims to bring the chakras back into balance and stabilize this energetic kundalini force. One really can make it back to normal.]
His detailed descriptions of his dramatic inner experiences and symptoms such as mood swings, eating disorders, and agonizing sensations of heat—and of how, with the help of his wife, he finally stabilized at a higher level of consciousness—make this one of the most valuable classics of spiritual awakening available.

*Shugen-dō (修験道, lit. "the Way [of] Trial [and] Practice," the "Way of Shugen or Gen-practice") [1] is a syncreticEsoteric Buddhist religion, a body of extreme ascetic practices that originated in the Nara Period of Japan, having evolved during the 7th century from an amalgamation of beliefs, philosophies, doctrines, and ritual systems drawn primarily from
The final purpose of Shugen-dō is for practitioners to find supernatural power and save themselves and the masses by conducting religious training while treading through steep mountain ranges. Practitioners are called Shugenja (修験者) or Yamabushi(山伏, lit. '"Mountain Prostrator"') [2]. More

(The Kim Iversen Show) Dare to bring a humanitarian flotilla to our land to embarrass us as we commit genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, atrocities, and ethnic cleansing? We'll teach you to make our ethnostate look bad in the eyes of the world media. Who is the madman Zionist Jew Itamar Ben-Gvir?
PALESTINE - Right wing Zionist Jew and Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir (Hebrew אִיתָמָר בֶּן גְּבִיר, May 6, 1976) is a lawyer and Israeli politician who has served as minister since 2022, except for a two-month gap in early 2025.
He is the leader of Otzma Yehudit ("Jewish Power"), an Israeli far-right, Kahanist, and anti-Arab party that won six seats in the 2022 legislative election and is part of the 37th government of Israel.
Beni is a "settler" [illegal invader and occupier] in the illegally-occupied West Bank (of Palestine), whose "political background lies in Kahanism — a violently racist [Ashkenazi Jewish] movement that supports the expulsion of Palestinians from their lands" [2], where "expulsion" means ethnic cleansing, a legally defined form of genocide.
We want a biblical bloodbath to steal this land.
Beni has a long history of anti-Arab activism [killing, maiming, oppressing, terrorizing, robbing, and expelling], leading to dozens of indictments and at least eight convictions of crimes including incitement to racism and support for, as well as possession of propaganda of, a terrorist organization (the now-illegal Kach political party)[3].
As a Jewish lawyer, he is known for defending Jews accused of Jewish extremist terrorism in Israeli courts [4].
Ben-Gvir is known for being a provocateur and has attracted headlines for a variety of reasons:
threatening Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin on live TV in 1995 shortly before his assassination;
having had a portrait in his living room of Baruch Goldstein, a Jewish extremist terrorist and mass murderer;
calling in 2019 for the expulsion of Arab citizens of Israel who are not loyal to the state [5];
inciting violent clashes between Jewish "settlers" and indigenous Palestinians in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah in 2021; and
making highly controversial visits to the Temple Mount, where the al-Aqsa Mosque is located, in 2023 and 2024 [6].
On January 18, 2025, it was reported that Ben-Gvir intended to resign from his ministerial position in protest to the approval and implementation of the three-phase Gaza war ceasefire deal. He resigned on January 19, 2025.
Two months later, it was announced that he and other party members would return to the government after an agreement was reached, following the continuation of genocidal airstrikes in Gaza. More

Reports are coming out that the IDF, Israel's state-sponsored terrorists, illegally interfered with the Global Sumud Flotilla in international water, kidnapping participants, detaining and torturing them, forcing Greta Thunberg to kiss an Israeli flag, which may as well be blood-soaked for the ongoing Nakba ("Catastrophe") and genocide it represents. Who will enforce international law to rein in criminal Israel?

In what world is MTG (Trump sycophant Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene) on the right side and Christian Zionist (or compromised or eager-for-access) Megyn Kelly on the wrong side of history? Who is the Neo-Nazi in this scenario?
The Kim Iversen Show reveals: Israeli Prime MinisterNaftali Bennett admits Jews [who started in what is now Iraq] did not originally come from Israel and, therefore, are not the "indigenous" people of the area, even though why this is exactly what they claim. Are Ashkenazi [European] Jews Khazar converts? How dare anyone make such a claim (Khazar hypothesis of Ashkenazi ancestry) after Israel and Jewish and Christian Zionists have worked so hard to squelch that theory, to the extent of making it illegal to take ancestry blood tests in modern Israel.

(Hindustan Times) Aug. 22, 2025: For the first time, famine has been officially declared in Gaza. A UN-backed food security monitor revealed that over half a million people are already starving, with the toll set to rise further. The IPC report described “starvation, destitution, and death” spreading across Gaza, as Israel intensified its new military campaign in Gaza City. UN Chief António Guterres made an urgent plea, warning of a man-made catastrophe. But Jewish Zionist Israel swiftly dismissed the findings as biased and flawed, releasing its own counter-report [saying everything is going just as planned]. #Gaza #Famine #Israel
Mexico City protesters march for Gaza, urge end to diplomatic and economic ties with Israel
(Al Jazeera English) Aug. 17, 2025: Jewish Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is not on board with demonstrators and prefers to stay aligned with genocidal, Jewish Zionist Israel.
Student organizations and workers groups in Mexico have been holding a march in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, calling for an end to Israel's genocidal and systematic industrial-scale extermination in the name of a biblical war (remembering Amalek) and for the Mexican government to cut ties with abhorrent Israel.
Al Jazeera’s Julia Galiano reports from Mexico City.
