EMPHASIZED TRIGGER WARNING ON FOLLOWING CONTENT
I've written a number of times regarding ritual abuse. The subject is important to me because it seems to be the least-understood, the most quickly dismissed, and yet one of the darkest aspects of what was called pizzagate/pedogate.
The public can more readily conceptualize the existence of child trafficking rings than ritual abuse, because adult sex-trafficking rings are already recognized to exist. In contrast, the ritual abuse and killing of children is much more difficult for the public to conceptualize, due to its existence outside known cultural parameters. People have no real-world framework in which to place this activity. The horrific nature of ritual abuse makes the public willing to ignore it in the hopes that it does not exist, and simultaneously those who point out evidence for its existence become an easy target for media ridicule.
It is this natural emotional resistance combined with media shaming that allows perpetrators to continue the criminal abuse of children, adults, animals, etc. If there is the slightest possibility that this abuse does take place, then we have a responsibility to investigate it and bring it to light. There is no excuse for allowing this abuse to continue.
In this post, I will try as best as I can to help people conceptualize the reality of ritual abuse and "MKULTRA" practices in some way. I will compare methods of individuals and practices tied to this subject in order to create a framework in which to understand ritual abuse and related state project. The connecting thread between the individuals involved and their methods is primarily their focus on the body as a medium for change whether in the case of ritual abuse or state experiments. In other words, this article is more focused on the "how" than the "who, where, or when."
Ritual abuse rings are not all the same, and a subject like this is impossible to entirely describe. I am speaking from my own awareness on this topic. If I leave out a method/point that was an important part of someone else's ritual abuse experience, it's not my intent to ignore that/leave it out.
I previously wrote about ritual abuse in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. That case led me to investigate George Gurdjieff.
Some of those connections are depicted here:
Gurdjieff's methods are linked to many aspects of ritual abuse - including topics I've previously written about - for example Findhorn and Esalen. I wrote about those campuses specifically in relation to the ongoing investigation of RA Anon's experience.
Gurdjieff is directly linked to Marina Abramovic, as well as Bartlesville. His 'Fourth Way' is intimately tied to the development of Abramovic's 'Method' and her 'spirit cooking' via Abramovic's repeated description of Gurdjieff as her spiritual "father." The common denominator between Abramovic's Method and Gurdjieff's Fourth Way is the use of the body, body movement, and physical experience as a medium for "spiritual development" /mental and emotional change and altered states.
Gurdjieff's 'Fourth Way' can accurately be described as a literal predecessor to Abramovic's sprit cooking and ritualistic, bloody practices. Many individuals tied to Gurdjieff (Idries Sha, John G Bennet) are also linked to Tavistock and intelligence agencies in both the UK and the US.
Images of Gurdjieff's "movements" are depicted below. They are important because Gurdjieff's use of the body as a medium of experience here is intimately comparable with Abramovic's use of the body as medium.
Abramovic directly described this in press interviews, which mirror Gurdjieff's work almost exactly.
Gurdjieff's Fourth Way was primarily designed to shock his followers out of their normal state of consciousness which he likened to sleep. This is identical to the description of Abramovic's Method. What this illustrates is the process of intentionally inducing traumatic shock in viewers in order to take advantage of the impressionable, vulnerable state it creates.
"In the Fourth Way teaching, shocks are necessary for the development of man. They also play an important role in Fourth Way cosmology."
The concept of body-as-medium is a critical aspect of ritual abuse. The mind is not accessed directly. Instead, the deeper subconscious is targeted. This bodily experience ultimately controls the formation of the mind without conscious knowledge of the individual affected, especially in childhood.
As Skinner described in terms of operant conditioning, the strongest control is gained when the deeper subconscious is accessed. This emotional experience lives in the body and it is in the body that memory can be imprinted. Any PTSD survivor will understand the physical aspect of being triggered. It is not a purely mental or even emotional experience, but a physical one. Even those who have experienced a bad break up will understand the physical aspect of strong emotions.
Through the body, the strongest aspect of imprinting takes place, and it is through the body that an experience of non-thinking can occur. This connection to non-thinking or the deep subconscious is not particularly negative. Horse riding, surfing, running, meditation and other practices can similarly bring one to this state, but ritual abuse uses this tool for a traumatic purpose.
The physical experience during these types of activities is also related to ancient practices of shamanism and trance. This is why the dancing at Findhorn(which tied to Svetlana Bakushina) is such a critical topic. This is the point to look for when researching ritual abuse: Dance, massage, and 'bodywork' - like the practices of massage and 'Watsu' at Harbin, Esalen, and The Haven. Again the concept of bodywork is not in itself negative, but is used at the heart of ritual abuse.
In these images one sees the ritual dancing employed by Gurdjieff to - in his words - bring the individual to an altered state of awareness which Gurdjieff likened to being 'awake.' I argue that this state is used by Gurdjieff and others because it allows programming to take place at a very deep level. Gurdjieff was infamous for his ability to control acolyte's minds directly their physical experience.
"Gurdjieff taught that the movements were not merely calisthenics, exercises in concentration, and displays of bodily coordination and aesthetic sensibility: on the contrary, in the movements was embedded real, concrete knowledge, passed from generation to generation of initiates - each posture and gesture representing some cosmic truth that the informed observer could read like a book. "
Essentially this helps illustrate the way in which the phrase 'mind control' is incorrect and misleading to readers who have no experience with it. This practice ultimately by-passes the mind entirely and speaks to the fundamental being beyond the formulation of words. It is a universal experience to which language does not apply.
The fact that this state of awareness is used in ritual abuse is also a subject that causes the most backlash. When I describe this, it invariably leads some readers to defend shamanism, trance, etc. The 'state-beyond-words' in this case is being hijacked for abusive purposes, the state itself is not particularly negative. When a person goes for a walk and experiences nature in a way that goes beyond words, it is not negative, etc. But it is another example of the body-as-medium which is also used in ritual abuse and which Abramovic specifically describes in her work.
I argue that this is the same experience alluded to by Bakushina, Findhorn. This is what makes ritual abuse so easy to dismiss and yet so mysterious - the fact that it is an ultimately non- verbal experience. This is also why Abramovic's method, Gurdjieff's fourth way, and ritual abuse are directly comparable with ancient cultural practices that achieve this altered state through the body - whether it is Haitian Voodoo, South Korean shamanism, or any other ancient tribal practice.
This is the framework with which ritual abuse can be understood by the public, in the same way that child trafficking can be understood through its comparison with adult sex trafficking and prostitution, blackmail, etc.
Gurdjieff wrote that his "Fourth way" was "against God and nature." He also described it as "the Way of the “Sly Man.” This indicates that the state of awareness reached by his followers through body-movement is being used for negative purposes. This can then also be applied to Abramovic's work, which was inspired by Gurdjieff, according to her:
"I looked at different people, like shamans, and I was very influenced by theosophy and Buddhism. So who can be my daddy? I’d like to think of Gurdjieff as my daddy. Gurdjieff mixed with volcano."
The Washington Post wrote of her: "She seems determined to become a modern-day Gurdjieff, a Russian mystic-philosopher who, like Abramovic, held nearly mesmeric powers over the wealthy and famous, and who, like Abramovic, spoke of breaking through the mundane, limited consciousness of everyday human existence to higher states of awareness and potential. Gurdjieff offered the world “The Work,” while Abramovic offers us “The Method.”
Sources discussing the 'left hand path' also include chapters on theosophy and Buddhism. A descritption of Gurdjieff's fourth way can be found in "Lords Of The Left Hand Path," by Stephen Flowers, a self described practitioner of the 'Left Hand Path,' who associated with Michael Aquino.
An entire chapter of this text is dedicated to Gurdjieff's Fourth Way. This, from an associate of Aquino, further illustrates that Gurdjieff and his cult was using a state of nonverbal bodily awareness for explicitly harmful purposes.
Flowers defines the Left Hand Path as follows:
This description provides further indication that Gurdjieff's work with the body, like Abramovic's, was intended to be used negatively.Flowers goes on to describe this separation of self, as well as reversals (bad is good, good is bad, dark is light, light is dark, etc) which are often described in accounts of ritual abuse:
Flowers also echoes Gurdjieff almost word for word when he writes:
He then describes what can essentially be termed Satanic/Luciferian Apotheosis (deification), which is relevant because he lists Gurdjieff as a 'Lor of the Left hand Path' in his text:
According to the text, Gurdjieff had a direct influence on Frank Lloyd Wright as well as the development of Gestalt, a version of which was birthed at none other than Esalen, through founder Dick Price:
In this way, the ring described by RA Anon at Harbin and Esalen is directly connected to the ring practicing in Bartlesville, Oklahoma through the influence of Gurdjieff, Abramovic's self professed inspiration. I've previously written at length about my belief that the HUman Potential movement, of which Gestalt is a part, is a euphemism for experiments for social and individual mind control through trauma.
Gestalt practitioner and Esalen co-founder Dick Price's wikipedia entry states: "In keeping with this approach, eclectic techniques of meditation, physical exercise, environmentalism, contemplation and spiritual practice are incorporated into Gestalt Practice,[14] along with some typical Gestalt awareness experiments borrowed from the Gestalt therapy model."
This indicates two important points: Price developed a unique form of Gestalt at Esalen, and that this model used spiritual practice in the form of bodywork, which I argue is explicitly the form of ritual practice I have am attempting to describe in this post.
Gestalt is described in general: "Gestalt theory, it is proposed, allows for the deconstruction of the whole situation into its elements." This is particularly relevant regarding the fragmenting of personhood into multiple personalities as allegedly done by government agencies and ritual abuse groups/traditions.
The information on this entire page is critical:
"Dick Price widened the approach by incorporating novel techniques from such disciplines as meditation, shamanism, compassion practice and spiritual contemplation.[notes 4] Thus, Gestalt Practice became a personalized form of consciousness exploration beyond the limits of psychotherapy. ....Somatic awareness may be the focus of Gestalt exercises... movement exercises such as T'ai chi ch'uan, Yoga, dance, art, hiking, chanting, singing and massage may be used to integrate awareness of the body.[1]:177"
Again, "Somatic awareness may be the focus of Gestalt exercises." -- In other words, physical experience via movement is the primary focus of this method. This method as described by Stephen Flowers was influenced by Gurdjieff, who was linked to the ritual abuse ring in Bartlesville Oklahoma and who is cited by Abramovic as her spiritual inspiration.
Flowers' text describes the following association of Gurdjieff, which I have added to:
These connections can also be shown via the following:
Gurdjieff's work as a spy is also mentioned by Flowers on page 155. This is important because it shows the degree of intimacy that exists between the occult and intelligence activities. Such overlap can be used to explain the mix of ritual and "MKULTRA" type experiences in some survivors of such abuses. Such blurring is also embodied in the person of Michael Aquino, a high ranking military psy-ops agent and a dedicated occultist who was accused of ritually abusing children at the Presidio military facility.
Marina Abramovic's method inspired by Gurdjieff also provides a direct connection between the occult philosophy of Blavatsky and Gurdjieff to the Podestas and Hillary Clinton through her spirit cooking practice.
An important timeline of Marina Abramovic's workfurther writes of her collaboration with a cult-like figure known as "John of God." Based in Brazil, John of God is famous as a spirit-healer and as a performer of "psychic surgeries." The following picture shows Abramovic and John of God as he performs a 'surgery' on a woman's eye. So once again a spiritual/mental/emotional change is (allegedly) being provoked through the violent interference with the body of the subject. (Note that both Abramovic and John of God are clothed in white, which seems to be a theme when blood is involved.)
Abramovic's own institute describes her trip to brazil:
"Abramović [went] through the healing experiences and surgeries performed by the medium John of God in Abadiania, state of Goiás, the ceremonies and incorporations of Vale do Amanhecer in Distrito Federal, the powerful religious syncretism of Salvador, Bahia, the ayahuasca rituals in Chapada Diamantina and lastly, shamanic experiences in Curitiba."
John of God's surgeries are bloody and intimidating affairs, which he also performs on himself.
The horrific 'psychic surgeries' performed by John of God have been called out as a scam many times. This hasn't prevented establishment media from fawning over him. However, the critical point on his work - once again, we see what is supposed to be a "spiritual surgery" being performed on the body by cutting it open, piercing it with medical instruments, or cutting eyes. So once again the absolute central point for this type of ritualistic practice is the body and the bodily experience is supposed to have some spiritual effect.
In discussion of PTSD, some have said that pain, memory, and emotion lives in the body. In this view, it makes perfect sense as to why John of God would cut bodies of his cult members. This is yet another example of the body-as-medium for direct change/"spiritual" experience. These shocking practices are not only bloody for the sake of spectacle but are an example of how the nuts-and-bolts of ritual abuse works, as are Gurdjieff's movements and Abramovic's Method.
John of God's concerning practices are also important because the fact that so many people allow him to perform these bloody surgeries on them without anesthetic and actually PAY for the procedure, shows just how easily people are drawn into physically dangerous cult behaviors if they view it in a somehow positive light.
John of God's Wikipedia entry reads in part:
"De Faria operates without traditional anesthetic. Instead he says he uses "energized" mineral water and the spiritual energies present, the latter which are provided by groups of volunteers who meditate in a separate room called the 'current room'. These practices such as inserting scissors or forceps deep into a nose and scraping an eye without an anesthetic or antiseptics have been scrutinized by medical authorities and skeptical investigators James Randi, who has called for De Faria to come clean and stop lying to the public about the existence of spirit[14] and Joe Nickell[15] have described these procedures at length as old carnival tricks."
A central point about John of God is that he is reputed to be possessed by various spirits/entities when he heals. After the ritual is over, he claims to have no memory of the event. Spectators describe him as seeming like 'someone else' during these alleged possessions.
""at 16, the story goes, the "entity" of King Solomon entered his body, and performed a miraculous healing. For years, João wandered Brazil offering healings. Twenty-seven years ago, he took residence in his casa in the plateaus and became known as "John of God." Today, more than 30 doctors and notables can enter his body... They're the ones that do the healing..."
"The "incorporating" happens in an instant, without warning. As João prepares to operate, his body suddenly jerks. He is said to take on the personality and even the eye color of the entity who inhabits him."
This is important because there is a strong connection between possession and multiple personality disorder, with the former often described as an ancient term used to describe the latter. If John of God actually does go through an identity change during his surgeries/rituals, then it is possible that he is dissociative himself. Again, this is important because it gives insight into the operation of actual ritual abuse by people who are themselves dissociative and split into multiple personalities (like Podesta's Skippy.) Ritual personalities are often described by survivors of SRA. This is extremely similar to possession by entities - whether it is John of God, or some shamanic/trance tradition. He may also be simply using the claim of possession as another element of his scam.
John of God told Oprah about his experience of possession:
"Through an interpreter, John of God says that, as a spiritual medium, his body incorporates the spirits of deceased healers. These healers -- whom John of God calls “entities” -- are the ones performing the surgeries, he says.
“I kneel down in the earth and thank God for the opportunity to be able to do this,” he says through an interpreter. “I hand over my body to God.”
This sounds very much like the experience of multiple personality disorder described in religious terms. And again, his specific terminology refers to handing his body to god, not his mind or emotions/heart. This is a central point to understand about ritual abuse.
Hunter S. Thompson was a a former employee at Esalen. He has been accused of directing snuff films. Paul Bonnaci, a victim in the Franklin Scandal, directly accused Thompson of participating in organized child abuse.
Ted Gunderson reportedly stated: "I think it's kind of strange that Hunter Thompson would commit suicide at this time... Several kids told us that he directed snuff films. I think it's a strong possibility that he was murdered and I strongly suspect that it's all connected." Thompson's possible role in abuse is a topic which deserves its own post, but the Esalen connection to Franklin though him is worth keeping in mind. His connection to abuses is discussed in a book:
Thomspon also referenced "adrenochrome," which has been postulated as one reason that children are tortured before being killed. Again, this is a topic worthy of its own discussion.
