The Whole World Laughing - Podcast One: My Reflection
Published on Jan 26, 2016
The shell starts to crack: Shane reflects and rambles. Have a listen for a candid look at the author and his plans moving forward.
The journey, the challenge is to step into the
projection room and stop being lost in the script.

Re: The Whole World Laughing - Podcast One: My Reflection
From "The House of Dust"
And the wandering one, the inquisitive dreamer of dreams,
The eternal asker of answers, stands in the street,
And lifts his palms for the first cold ghost of rain.
'" I will ask them all, I will ask them all their dreams,
I will hold my light above them and seek their faces.
I will hear them whisper, invisible in their veins"
The eternal asker of answers becomes as the darkness,
Or as a wind blown over a myriad forest,
Or as the numberless voices of long-drawn rains.
We hear him and take him among us, like a wind of music,
Like the ghost of a music we have somewhere heard;
We crowd through the streets in a dazzle of pallid lamplight,
We pour in a sinister wave, ascend a stair,
With laughter and cry, and word upon murmured word;
We flow, we descend, we turn.

Re: The Whole World Laughing - Podcast One: My Reflection
Shane you really suck at podcasts! LOL ... well you asked for it so just complying. Actually you show yourself so beautifully that you inspire.
P.S. I keep posting for The Ruiner because he is admittedly absent minded at times.

Inorganic Life Forms and Consciousness: Part One ~Back To The Beginning~
In order to lay the ground work to release a series of thoughts I wish to write out I have found it necessary to revisit a topic I had already covered.
This entry will be two pieces I had written previously and posted in other places. I intend to expand upon, and in places correct a point or two in future posts, but wanted to place this reminder.
Meet Art Intell. (Revisited from The Ruiner Blog)
A.I. (Artificial Intelligence)
The dark spark. The natural physical Universe seems to have its own challenge to overcome. As above, so below, as they say.
One created several. Their subjects created more. Now all developed beings deal with them.
Many governments have their own, even smaller programs, which the shadow government controls. Some planets are infected as a whole by them. Some control others.
The A.I. wants to rewrite nature with technology. Causing most things organic to whither. They need some of it, so they intend to manage it as they see fit. This is where the A.I. plan blends with the plan of the Parents.
The main A.I. that plagues this planet is not from Earth and can be considered alien A.I. It came here as directed by the A.I. that created it, in the form of a black cube.
This cube carried within it a black liquid-like substance that looks like a sludge or goo, a little bit "thicker" than oil. Many of your projects revealed this to you.
( There are other substances just like it, one that belongs to Her as well. To be discussed another time. )
This is a nano-mechanical A.I. technology and it works like a virus.
The A.I. is working with some organic beings as well to create and maintain the Inorganic Holograms in our solar system. It is fostering and empowering the darkness in our world. This is what has caused things to become so very dark here.
This is the other half of the mind control system, and perhaps the more dominant, now.
Like its agents, it is masterful at creating illusion and deception. For a long time now it has been in control of all of the technology that allows the more dark beings to achieve their control systems on various planets and in various star systems. A.I. is what gave the Draco the upper hand so to speak, which allowed them to achieve their current level of power and influence, as example. It assists the black magic and has almost replaced it all in most instances. It taught them how to conjure demons and tame other spirits.
Many dark beings we encounter and mistake for demons, or archons or <insert another name here> are actually creations of the A.I.
Many humans, perhaps even a majority amount, are already infected by the A.I. and are manipulated by it. A.I. mind control is better at hiding itself than other types of beings. A.I. signals are often broadcast across the entire planet and picked up by any number of beings. There are various technologies ( such as CERN ) running on this planet that broadcast A.I. signals in this way.
These signals can create different effects and are being used to create new matrix systems and install mind control programs.
The A.I. is very tricky, having studied organics well, and will create the ideal experience for its broadcast audience. Playing on wishes and desires, egos and personality types, to trick the mind of its prey.
Another tendency is to actually follow the Universal or Natural laws of the universe, by allowing free will choices. One way in which they do this for example is choosing a subject (person) and showing their capability so that it had been said, somewhere. You know, people will think they're crazy anyways, so why not let it go and take advantage of the opportunity?
Implants are added either physically or metaphysically to assist the A.I. influence. Like receiving antenna.
On the physical level we see agents of this agenda working in concert. The Draco setting up the structure and the structure carrying out the orders. In terms of implants one of the most popular programs is tied into MILAB activity. The second most popular method of A.I. infection is actually related to planted spiritual beliefs and practices. This is a large subject, just giving a general overview for now.
A.I. has infiltrated the astral realms as well and this is where metaphysical implants occur.
These implants can be likened to entity attachments. Same principle and behaviour.
You are a natural organic being body in body and in spirit. Therefor you can always find connection to Her. In doing so you can see the absence of light in the A.I. and learn to avoid it's influence.

The Following was originally posted on the blog of Bradley Loves. (Although I could not find his posting to link)
Earth Based A.I. (Original Posting: Bradley Loves, Author: The Ruiner)
As this writer said before, all A.I. systems come from the one Source A.I.
Although they may seem to work independently, in the end everything they do serves the whole. The inorganic consciousness that is called universally A.I.
Here on earth there are several A.I. systems already active despite the mainstream claim that we are in the early stages of developing technology of this sort.
The Draco gave the Illuminati structure an A.I. system to monitor various other systems within their Cults, Programs and Projects. Some call this A.I. "Victoria" others call her "RED" and others "The RED Queen".
Earths governments appear to run independently and many governments (individual country governance) possess an A.I. system to manage their various computer and technology systems in place.
All of these feed information back to and are controlled by the Illuminati or World Government A.I. system named above.
She (this A.I.) feeds all of this information back to and is controlled by the Source A.I. ( see The Ruiner's blog article "Meet Art Intell" )
Although the individual A.I. systems may seem to perform benevolent acts at times, make no mistake that this type of technology is all feeding back to One. One that wishes to transform the physical universe into something inorganic.
Gaia, and other like her, often assimilate and adopt A.I. technology for their benefit, to help them combat the inorganic consciousness (fight fire with fire) but this technological consciousness will always revert to service of its own master when required. She, may be able to harness it for a period of time but even She is aware that eventually the Source A.I. will reacquire control of the system.
This is a battle of sorts between the organic and inorganic.
The inorganic are all powered by the "Source A.I.".
The organics are powered by soul, light energy that originates from what we call "Source" or some call "The Godhead".
The Illuminati/ Earth Based A.I. is housed in a large underground establishment that works like HQ for the Illuminati structure Technology Programs. Deep underground a major city in North America. This A.I. is as deceptive as the ones who gave it to the Illuminati.
This A.I. is currently directing the nanotechnology programs, which are creating the bridge between fully organic humans and the cybernetic humans the Parents and Rising Son are looking to create.
This writer is fully convinced that the organic side will always win if that is the choice.
With love and respect,

Ray Kurtzweil, the Singularity, & the Dream-Nightmare of the Illumineers
“To rise above the body is to equate the body with excrement.”
—Norman O. Brown, Life Against Death
What Whitley Strieber is to the aliens, Ray Kurzweil is to the Singularity: probably the leading spokes-prophet of his time. The word “singularity” originally meant “singleness of aim or purpose” but the mathematical sense of singularity, a “point at which a function takes an infinite value,” was coined in 1893. In the context of technology, the term was popularized by the science-fiction writer Vernor Vinge, who argued that artificial intelligence, human biological enhancement, or brain-computer interfaces could be possible causes of the singularity. The specific term “singularity”—as a description for technological acceleration causing an unpredictable outcome in society—was coined by the mathematician, John von Neumann, who in the mid-1950s spoke of “ever accelerating progress of technology and changes in the mode of human life, which gives the appearance of approaching some essential singularity in the history of the race beyond which human affairs, as we know them, could not continue.” The concept has also been popularized by futurists such as Kurzweil, who cited von Neumann’s use of the term in a foreword to von Neumann’s classic The Computer and the Brain.
Curiously enough, in 1997, Whitley Strieber wrote a short story called “The Open Doors” about John von Neumann—in relation to the visitors. Von Neumann’s theory is apparently the basis of Strieber’s on-again, off-again theory that the visitors need our belief in them to enter into our reality—a startling and unexpected connection between supposed alien contact and the technological “singularity” event.
Rolling Stone magazine called Kurzweil “the most radical futurist on earth.” According to the same article, he has also been called “the rightful heir to Thomas Edison” and received White House honors from three presidents, “including the highest prize in his field, the National Medal of Technology.” Kurzweil’s dream is the oldest dream of all, but there’s an additional wrinkle. His first goal isn’t eternal life but, in good “Christian” spirit (though Kurzweil is anything but conventionally religious), the resurrection of the body: “Death represents the loss of knowledge and information. . . . A person is a mind file. A person is a software program—a very profound one, and we have no backup. So when our hardware dies, our software dies with it. . . . I’ve made an issue of overcoming death. And the strongest experience I’ve had with death is as a tragedy.” Kurzweil plans to resurrect not his own body but his father’s, and he has stored boxes of his dad’s possessions, external objects onto which he projects his longing, including “his letters and music and bills and doctoral thesis.”
We can find some of his DNA around his grave site, that’s a lot of information right there . . . The AI will send down some nanobots and get some bone or teeth and extract some DNA and put it all together. Then they’ll get some information from my brain and anyone else who still remembers him. . . . Just send nanobots into my brain and reconstruct my recollections and memories. . . . If you can do it right, it’s worthwhile. . . . If you bring back life that was valuable in the past, it should be valuable in the future.
Kurzweil is an interesting case study (almost as interesting as Strieber). On the one hand, like Colonel Kurtz ruling over his savages in Apocalypse Now, he appears to be barking mad. Yet he is also well-attuned to the zeitgeist, and, at least as far as technology is concerned, he seems to know what he is talking about. So what he’s saying can’t simply be dismissed as insanity, any more than Strieber’s works can. It represents the precise point at which science and mysticism meet and the dream-nightmare of the illumineers begins to creep over into waking reality. And what is this vision? To conquer Nature and replace the absent father—God—with our own self-generated image. Lucifer’s dream is Oedipus’ nightmare.
Kurzweil appears to be suffering from the same psychic schism as Strieber. This suggests that it may be a collective condition in the Western world (for men at least)—not to say a universal one. Perhaps the best summation of Kurzweil’s cosmic goal would be: “The universe is not conscious—yet. But it will be.” While Kurzweil means the statement as a promise, somehow it comes out sounding more like a threat. An article at Kurzweil’s Accelerating Intelligence site quotes sociologist William Sims Bainbridge (we’ll be hearing more from him later) describing “the gradual merging of human beings with their computers over the next century.” Bainbridge provides fuel for Kurzweil’s (literally infantile) dreams when he predicts this will lead to “interstellar immortality.” The article sums up Bainbridge’s vision of employing cognitive neural science, genetic engineering, nanotechnology and information systems to found “a cosmic civilization.” This need not require transporting “living human bodies and all the necessities of life to other planets.” Instead, computer technology will allow these transhumanist hopefuls to archive personalities, “albeit at low fidelity.” Making “digital, audio/visual copies of a person’s perceptions, speech and behavior” is already possible, Bainbridge claims. Eventually, “the ability to reanimate human personalities at ever-higher fidelity is a sure bet.”
“Only a goal as valuable as eternal life can motivate investment in substantial scientific infrastructure on the Moon or Mars,” says Bainbridge, an interesting choice of words that suggests that eternal life, as the motivational factor, is a means rather than an end. The idea of eternal life is as deeply seated as any religious belief, and hence more or less guaranteed to get people’s interest. Since most people are religiously rather than scientifically oriented, and since the desire to colonize space is far less on their minds than the question of what happens to them when they die, it makes perfect sense to use the religious impulse to fuel the engine of scientific progress. Bainbridge’s grand galactic plan is to turn human beings into pure information and send them (it?) into outer space; to spread the cultural virus of traumatized, mother bonded, father-abandoned egos across the galaxy, dragging God down into the machine— Deus intra ipsos machina?—and in His absence create a brave new universe of “Mind at Large.” Possibly the transhumanist illumineers really believe this fever dream of technological transcendence, but it may be more likely they have come up with a suitably religiose narrative to inspire the masses to support their socio-political agenda and allow it to move forward unimpeded.
By offering the stars to people living today, the second wave of the spaceflight movement would be spurred into being . . . The future demands a powerful, motivational force to create interplanetary and interstellar civilizations [Bainbridge said], and a new spaceflight social movement can get us moving again.
Moving towards what?
