Doktor Snake । Edge Cult

I went out for milk on Bonfire Night.

Somewhere along the way, the world turned upside down.

Nobody seemed to notice.

It was quite dark along the road into Beck Row. A few streetlights here and there. Hedges waiting to ambush the unwary.

I thought I’d take some footage.

Anyway, I arrived at Londis and found half a dozen people standing outside, chewing the fat.

An old chap. A middle-aged fellow. A couple of women, one quite young.

They were talking about fireworks.

The old chap thought they should ban the bloody things.

I agreed, mainly on behalf of the cats, dogs and assorted wildlife who hadn’t been consulted about Bonfire Night.

I mentioned I’d been trying to film a few fireworks for my channel.

The young woman immediately picked up on the word channel.

The others carried on talking.

Interesting, really. Same pavement. Same conversation. Different worlds.

And everybody getting along perfectly well.

No arguments. No ideological warfare. No demands for the extinction of anybody’s civilisation.

Just six biologiks chatting outside a convenience store.

I bought my milk. They also stock yFood, which was a bonus.

Then I walked home.

It was only when I examined the footage that I discovered I’d filmed the entire street upside down.

Apparently, the camera had rotated itself while emerging from my pocket.

I considered correcting it.

Then thought, why bother?

Perhaps this is what the world looks like when nobody’s watching.

Anyway, I returned with milk, liquid nutrition and photographic evidence that Beck Row had inverted.

Human civilisation remains operational at the local level.

For now.

A wander around an ancient mound, the paleo-magnetic currents beneath my feet, musing on who built the earth energy grid.

Then onwards to the old church at Santon Downham, where a man with a torch comes along, no doubt making sure no necromancy was going on in the graveyard.

Back to my car to talk about how you can make yourself invisible, along with relating the tale of the doggers in the Forestry Commission car park.

A brief walk through Thetford, passing the statue of Thomas Paine, then down a street full of “dodgy” shops, and back to my car where I get into time travel and outline an experiment for testing whether we can cast our minds into our future experience.

All spinning off the work of J.W. Dunne, author of An Experiment With Time.

I asked him whether he ever worried that he might be killed.

“No, I never did,” said my dad. “If the bullet's got you name on it, that's it, you’re done.”

No bullet had his name on it. No bomb. No land mine.

That's the thing with luck. It’s either with you or it isn’t.

Humanity is obsessed with its own continuation.

Families. Nations. Morals. Politics. Civilisation. Even the fear that AI may destroy us begins with the assumption that the human form must somehow be preserved.

But what if that assumption is wrong?

The New Race is the first Edge Cult transmission — a journey through declining birth rates, artificial intelligence, UFOs, occult history, weird fiction and the possibility that evolution may already be moving beyond biology.

Crowley announced a new aeon. Jack Parsons attempted to bring forth a magical child. Bulwer-Lytton imagined a coming race beneath the Earth. Kenneth Grant stared into the Typhonian darkness and found something disturbingly close to Lovecraft waiting there.

Perhaps they were all wrong.

But perhaps they dreamed in the correct direction.

From black lights in the sky to machines producing dreams, from the barren lands of SUT to silicon offspring without mothers or fathers, The New Race asks what happens when humanity stops being the final category.

The old gods do not return.

Something else comes wearing their masks.

EDGE CULT is a series of transmissions from the unstable edge of the human world.

AI. UFOs. Weird fiction. Occult history. Ancient gods. New gods. Consciousness. Strange technology. The collapse of familiar categories.

These audio-videos explore the territory where myth, machines, anomalous experience and the future of mind begin to overlap.

Some transmissions draw on history.

Some on folklore.

Some on contemporary events.

Some are speculative.

Some are fiction.

Some refuse to say.

This is not a search for another bombshell revelation, prediction or final explanation.

It is an attempt to listen for what appears when the explanations stop working.

Black lights in the sky.

Old gods wearing new masks.

Machines producing dreams.

The barren giving birth to unfamiliar forms.

The possibility that humanity is not the final category.

Welcome to Edge Cult.

Welcome to the Terminal of Madness.

Doktor Snake and Colonel Kurtz - THE TRANCE LORDS.

The strange cat, neither alive, nor dead.

Not of this world.

Neither here, nor there.

All things are real.

All things are false.

As world’s collide, lies are truth, truth is lies.

We are the ancient ones.

We are unborn.

We are creatures of infinite possibilities.

We ride the probability tracks.

Nothing is true, everything is possible.

We are not, and we are.

So shall it be.

So shall it not be.

Inbetween.

Liminal.

We of the middle marches.

Video begins with me doing a little sigil magick to help a friend make a little extra cash, then I notice a cloud formation which has the look of a fallen angel.

Very appropriate given I’m at the Devil’s Punchbowl.

One expects the odd fallen angel to drop in now and then.

I then get into how I don’t believe in anything — I don’t believe in belief.

BUT I do use it as a fuel to power the engine to get things done.

Then I drop the belief…

In this video I discuss how Eastern concepts bring China the edge in terms of it potentially becoming the next global superpower. It’s already ahead in many areas including development of clean, nuclear fusion energy, which would solve at least some of the downsides of data-centres, not to mention helping with environmental woes.

Many talk of AI being the new arms race. But that’s the West. China operates very differently. Ingrained in its culture are the concepts of The Art of War, Tao Te Ching, and Confucius. — alien to the West.

So for me, it’s more a battle of cognition… and it looks like China is winning that one.

But I also get into the late Colonel John Boyd (USAF), who was very influenced by Eastern ideas and developed his OODA Loop — which, for me at least, is the West’s equivalent of Eastern thought and strategy.

Boyd’s ideas can also be applied to daily life and business.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Boyd_(military_strategist)

The discussion was sparked by me relating how I have recently revamped my LinkedIn, mostly to keep up with the latest discussions about AI. You can follow me at:https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmyleeshreeve/

Super hot in the UK — 90sF. So I get into influencing the weather with psionics, along with summoning luminous orbs and UFOs — which I see as plasma beings.

Plasma being what was called ether up till around 1900.

Below is the pamphlet I mention during the podcast.

Out in the wilds near West Stow, I begin with a demonstration of using a pendulum to train your will power.

From there I move to the biggest cover-up that's being hidden from the world populace — a global war that you cannot see unless you can break through the psyops.

HINT: it's not a war against humans. And humans (or the power-caste among them) are very likely the “bad guys” in this conflict. Worse still, the whole of Planet Earth is under serious existential threat.

BUT: there's something you can do… something WE must do.
