Episode 138: Ignorance Is Bliss. Enlightenment Is Blitz | Reading Comments

Added: 2026-05-19

[00:00:06][music] >> So, we do another comments reaction episode, and we've got Elaine Brain Drain. She says, "You are helping me figure out my life. I'm 72. Thanks."

[00:00:21]Which is an it's an interesting point that she's saying because she is 72 and she's still trying to figure out her life. I think that's very good, and I think that we'll probably all of us are going to still be figuring out. I mean, you were just saying to me literally now, "What a game this is. What What a Yeah."

[00:00:39]Yeah, what a game, you say. It's the ultimate game, life.

[00:00:42]Uh I call it live immersive free form entertainment, L.I.F.E. It is actually literally that. It's an immersive game.

[00:00:51]You see, obviously, we're all immersed.

[00:00:54]So, and it's a kind of a free form entertainment. You're responding to things as they come up spontaneously, and depending on your reaction and your performance, your response to that which comes up, you know, that determines how your life will roll out. Basically, choices, you see. I think we've spoken about that, you know, the need for a sensitivity to be able to even recognize, you see, what's going on and what is the right road. Knowing that thyself.

[00:01:22]We spoke about that. Knowing thyself is very important so that you don't respond to things that are not for you.

[00:01:28]See, there are things that are going to resonate with you, and that's why the sensitivity is necessary so you can pick up the resonance of external input coming in and make sure that it's for you, that thing. Food and everything, you see. I think in John Nash's film, the film about John Nash played by Russell Crowe, A Beautiful Mind, the the poignant scene for me was when he was in the he was receiving the pen ceremony, if anyone remembers the pens, where they would give them, you know, the the person who's achieved uh you know, extraordinary achievement would be given a pen. They'd all come and place their pens down as recognition of great work achieved.

[00:02:10]And so he was in the pen ceremony. I think he didn't know what was coming. It was for the Nobel Prize, I believe. And he said, you know, he has to be careful with his diet. Uh, you know, being a schizophrenic. He has to be careful what he exposes himself to. You see, because if not, it was set you know, he'd be set off and he'd be off on a spiral again.

[00:02:28]So, yeah, I think that applies to everybody. If you're really sensitive and you realize that, you know, life is a game, then you have to be very sensitive to what you allow in. You see, you have to have a sentinel at the gate all the time running.

[00:02:42]Uh, yeah, just to prevent uh you know, alien agents from coming in and infecting you, your mind.

[00:02:50]And then the behavior is upset and you're all over the place. So, it's understandable what it's the the lady's got to 70 and she's still, see?

[00:02:58]She's still learning and putting her jigsaw puzzle together, so to speak.

[00:03:03]It's very difficult. It helps if you've got parents that are quite enlightened.

[00:03:07]You see, a bright parents and they can help save you decades by giving you the right information. They've already been through the minefield of life, so they would have picked up heaps of experience if they're wise.

[00:03:18]So, [snorts] that would help and save you some time.

[00:03:21]And then it helps if you're a bright person and you can kind of orientate quickly. Hit the road and kind of quickly get your bearings. You save more time that way. You see, but most people are not. They haven't got the the former or the latter on board, so that takes a long long time and you get to very old age before and you're still struggling, you see? And then most people don't make it, so they're, you know, and then you're into Buddhist territory.

[00:03:45]You may have to come back again, you see, if there's unfinished business. I believe that's the case, you know, if there is any reincarnation and it's kind of propelled and kept going by loose ends, unfinished business, as I said before. I think I mentioned on another podcast.

[00:03:59]I think that's the case myself. It makes sense that energy uh it doesn't die, only transforms, I think is the thing.

[00:04:06]Law of conservation, second law, I think.

[00:04:09]Energy cannot be destroyed, only transformed. So, if you apply that to your life, if there's any unfinished business, loose ends at the end, I would imagine that you'd wouldn't be resting at peace.

[00:04:20]You'd want to, you know, in your mind would be you'd be plagued by those loose ends.

[00:04:25]Oh, if only I could have just If only I could have And if you die like that, if only I could have, I'm sure it would regenerate again, you see? The energy has not been resolved, that problem. So, it persists through time.

[00:04:40]And Mike Donegan, um who I happen to know, um has has one of the guys who who sometimes goes on that Dan W show. He says, um I bought I bought a real men don't have kids t-shirt.

[00:04:58]Um perhaps you'll uh just expand on that idea. Why did you I mean, that was your idea for a t-shirt wording. What Can you just explain a bit more about that?

[00:05:08]Yeah, for sure. I think we've covered that in uh one of the podcasts, but I'll go over it again uh quickly. Just we were as Danny does his street performance or his street preaching, uh more correctly, more accurately, uh this the transmission of truth on the streets, we often come across cross people that, you know, very macho men, alpha males, you know? They're not really, they're children really in in male costume, in in adult costume, but they they present as alpha males, you know, these macho men, testosterone-driven and all the rest of it.

[00:05:41]And [snorts] I always my I thought, how can we get through to these guys, you see? In a way that they'd feel it. It would be viscerally felt. And I came up with the idea that, you know, just, you know, this came to me. If you were a If you were a real strong man, and you were you would, you know, got a life sentence, you know, in a maximum security prison, would you, you know, once you've got the life term, would you want your children, if you had young children, would you want them to join you for the sentence? You see, would that be appropriate for a macho man to call his children, if he was allowed to, say there was a special program in this particular prison, and they thought it would be best for people to do the sentence with their family, to serve it with their family.

[00:06:24]They thought that might be better for the inmate, and they granted them the the permission to do so. Would you do it as an inmate? You see, so we started to, you know, and then it evolved from there. Real men, they wouldn't dream of bringing a child into a penitentiary to serve a life sentence on death row with them, which is what life is when considered. You see, you think about it. This is the penitentiary. This is the plantation. We are inmates. We are slaves.

[00:06:55]We are in this thing. We against our will. We weren't asked. There's no consent given because there was no permission asked. The parents thought it was a good idea to bring us in with them to serve the sentence because they were bored, lonely, they needed purpose, whatever the reason is.

[00:07:11]You see, the fact remains that none of us were asked for our consent uh before entry. You see, it was the parents that made the choice.

[00:07:19]So, that's where That was the kind of catalyst for the T-shirt.

[00:07:23]Real men don't have kids. Real men wouldn't dream of having children for that reason because they wouldn't dream of bringing them into any situation of confinement or imprisonment, which their flesh is.

[00:07:36]Incar- Incarnation is incarceration, as we as we said, that's another one.

[00:07:42]So, we have a long comment from Godly Temple Man, who we've come across before.

[00:07:51]And uh I don't know if this is a he, Temple Man.

[00:07:54]He says, on the enlightenment video, he says, "Spot on.

[00:07:59]Knowing and showing or connecting internal understanding with external demonstration is the aim of this game.

[00:08:07]I think gnosis is a non-denominational coping strategy.

[00:08:11]It's fundamentally like the experiential direct knowledge of divinity or the self, which acts as a bridge connecting internal conscious understanding with external demonstration, not merely intellectual, but rather a knowledge of being, wherein a realization is manifested in daily life through actions that transform the practitioner's reality.

[00:08:33]Sounds cool, man.

[00:08:34]Gnostic reincarnation views the physical world as a prison created by the demiurge, with the soul trapped in a cycle of rebirth, samsara.

[00:08:44]The divine spark {bracket} spirit is trapped in a physical body or prison created by the demiurge. Reincarnation is seen as a mechanism for the divine spark to be forced back into the physical world unless enlightenment is achieved. Liberation or escaping this cycle to return to the divine realm of light, plen- pleroma, is achieved through attaining gnosis.

[00:09:08]Sounds like Greek gnosis dualism mixed with a Judeo-Christian ap- ap- apocalyptic doomsday narrative. I am in no way an expert on this stuff, but here's what I figure. We are not meant to work hard all the time, and knowledge is often overrated. Maybe you guys could convert the neo-gnostic doomsday cult community to anti-natalism by framing the gnostic concept of the divine spark trapped in material form as a theological justification for preventing the creation of new lives.

[00:09:39]Circumvent the whole reincarnation thing by acting early to stop problems before they arise, etc. Just an idea. On the subject of prevention before cure, have either of you had a vasectomy? If so, what was your experience like?

[00:09:55]Yeah, for sure. All that resonates.

[00:09:57]Yeah, it's definitely the Gnostics were the most advanced early Christians.

[00:10:02]If you can call them Christians at all, maybe proto-Christians. But they were the ones that had it spot-on. They were completely correct, I think, in their assessment of the whole situation. It cannot be It's impossible that it can be a god of love.

[00:10:15]They They felt that and saw it early on.

[00:10:18]And and it's obvious, really. It's self-evident. If you're at all aware, which is back to the sensitivity again.

[00:10:24]If you're tuned in here and you're aware and observant, you see, you know, field observation, just a general field observation will show you that it cannot possibly be.

[00:10:34]See, a world that's fueled by predation cannot possibly be the product of a loving god. So, that is it right there.

[00:10:42]Yaldabaoth is the word I was looking for before to describe that one.

[00:10:46]Uh the blind god, as well. There's another word they use for the blind god.

[00:10:52]The creator god was blind. Must have been blind.

[00:10:55]See, or at least blinded, blinded with ego, with its own self-importance. So, it's and and fall falling in love with its own creation. So, it's impossible that an omniscient god could have created something like this.

[00:11:08]It would have seen that it would go wrong.

[00:11:10]It would have to devolve into this state. So, yeah. And um going back to the other thing. What was the other point mentioned? Oh, the vasectomy. Yeah, no, I haven't been sliced myself. Because why? Because the self-control is on board now. So, there's no danger now. There was before.

[00:11:33]That would have been relevant when I was younger, for sure.

[00:11:35]I maybe should have got the vasectomy early on, but I'm quite squeamish and hate kind of surgery, invasive surgery of any kind or intervention.

[00:11:44]And it's okay because it's puts the onus on me to control myself. So, it completely changes my behavior, you see?

[00:11:52]For me to to to make a woman pregnant now would be almost impossible because that the whole I don't need to insert my uh penis to have an orgasm. I can have an orgasm without that. You see, I can raise my energy level in a different way and and have a just a complete whole whole body uh in fact, that's what I call a real orgasm. A real orgasm is full body.

[00:12:17]This exogenous kind of uh exogenously confined orgasm to me is not a complete orgasm.

[00:12:24]You have to rub your erogenous parts together. I've always found it kind of comical. You have to rub your erogenous uh organs together in order to kind of fire stoke your fire, so to speak.

[00:12:35]To me, just being in the presence of a beautiful woman is sufficient. See, I can already the energy is already orgasmic. Just being in the same presence, even just dancing, even just movement, you know, close movement. That is enough for me. See, it's beautiful.

[00:12:51]Art itself is orgasmic.

[00:12:53]Beautifully designed objects are orgasmic.

[00:12:56]There's the you know, plants. If you look at plants, they're so beautiful.

[00:13:01]See, so it's not necessary to to rub together.

[00:13:06]See, so I I I leave myself intact because there's no danger of me uh obviously impregnating anyone at this stage of my life. It's absolutely impossible. I can't imagine how it would happen. I'd have to be completely hijacked. My brain you know, have a lobotomy.

[00:13:21]I'd have to have my my frontal cortex removed. Then it may happen, but fai- you know, uh without that happening there's no chance. So, I think I'm quite safe at this stage as I am.

[00:13:36]Yeah, and we have a comment from Black Hole Gaming Channel who says, "These are great.

[00:13:45]I presume you mean the podcast, Danny.

[00:13:47]I'm 34 and I have no kids. I somehow managed to overcome the DNA molecule."

[00:13:55]Um, and Dasding Darriec, something or other, has said, again on the enlightenment one, "My mom admitted to me that the only reason I'm here is because the the condom broke."

[00:14:08]Um, and um, then we have Tom Deitch who says, "True enlightenment means you don't want to be part of this reality anymore." What do you think about that?

[00:14:20]Yeah, I'd agree, yeah.

[00:14:22]It's not that you don't want to be part of this reality, you just you just cannot feel at home here.

[00:14:27]Once you're enlightened, it's impossible that this can feel like your home. You see, you know, the sensitivity is such that you'd feel all the pain of everything.

[00:14:35]So, it would be grating to be here. Once That's why I think, you know, if if ignorance is bliss, then enlightenment is blitz.

[00:14:44]You see? It has to be. If ignorance is bliss, then the opposite of that, enlightenment, full awareness, must be blitz.

[00:14:53]It must be very painful. It has to be because you're aware of all the suffering.

[00:14:57]You know, the micro to the macro. We've spoken about this.

[00:15:01]As, you know, there's an inverse relationship between that you know, that as the as the awareness grows, the suffering increases.

[00:15:10]That's what it is.

[00:15:12]As the, you know, the more ignorant you are, the more blissful it appears because you're you're not aware.

[00:15:18]You're oblivious to the suffering because of that, because of the ignorance. That's what ignorance is, lack of awareness.

[00:15:24]So, again, the sensitivity, you dial the sensitivity right down, you wouldn't feel anything, you wouldn't see anything. You'd see hardly anything, just a narrow slither of life you'd be, you know, able to perceive.

[00:15:37]The reverse, if you turn it the dial right up with sensitivity, you feel everything. See, every little thing you'd feel, everything.

[00:15:44]As I said before in a previous podcast, you know, where if someone, you know, >> [snorts] >> we I was, you know, doing some charity work I think yesterday and we moved some furniture and one of the guys was, you know, he was drinking lager, so he was a bit tipsy. And as we were moving the things, I was aware, the chair we picked, the table and chairs we picked up, I'm always very aware of all the, you know, spatial awareness is very good. So, I'm moving through it, tiptoeing through, trying not to to damage the furniture and then all of a sudden he's move and clang, bang. See, the chair legs hit the side of the door as we're trying to get it through and I could actually viscerally feel it, the pain of the chair, of the table leg. I could feel it as if my leg had been hit.

[00:16:26]You see, although it's an so-called inanimate object, it still has life as I explained before. See, it's still got metabolism, it's still resisting entropy. You know, the very fact that it's an entity shows that it's a life form. It's having to maintain itself.

[00:16:41]See, the particles that it's made up of, it's having to maintain that. There are There are There is a primal, a very basic metabolism right there.

[00:16:49]Uh So, yeah.

[00:16:51]So, it's sensitivity for sure, that's what's required and you cannot feel at home here if you're highly sensitive, if you're super sensitive.

[00:17:00]It's an animal kingdom for sure and even that is terrible, that the animals have to, [clears throat] uh, you know, live here. This is their kingdom when they're being ripped apart. So, really, it is hell. It's the hell that the Gnostics described. They were accurate in their description. This is hell itself.

[00:17:15]There's no need to wait for a hell beyond this one or a heaven. This is it.

[00:17:19]They both exist here.

[00:17:24]And Mars 8 AR says it's mad because Nolan is talking so much truth.

[00:17:33]Yet if you spoke like this to your average Joe, this was on the the podcast who is the ultimate defiler of children.

[00:17:39]Oh, yeah. Yeah. He says it's mad because Nolan is talking so much truth. Yet if you spoke like this to your average Joe in brackets MPC, they think you're mad.

[00:17:49]That's how far gone this system is.

[00:17:51]Yeah, exactly. Yeah, it is that. That is the case, exactly.

[00:17:56]You see, look at all the prophets before, the prophets of old. All of them were killed. All of them were considered to be mad. Jesus was considered to be mad by his own family members, own kin.

[00:18:06]You see? So, they turned against. They thought he was a madman.

[00:18:10]Simply because he was so radically different to them. That's all. This is you know, that's why that's why we're trying attempting this thing of Open University. And the reason being is that just the reason we chose that name for it, Open University, is just simply to indicate telegraph what's required.

[00:18:28]Your mind has to be open. You see, or else you'll be in a resistant stance and nothing will go in.

[00:18:34]Because it's such a it's such it's so the information we're we're imparting is so radical for most people, as you said, that it's you know, it takes you have to open. Any resistance will block it. It's impossible.

[00:18:48]You see, you have to first open surrender yourself, your present position, and take a chance in opening to the new information coming in. And then a paradigm shift will happen. It will have to. You see, once you're open to it. This is the problem, you see?

[00:19:01]People are closed.

[00:19:03]So, it doesn't appear to work when we're delivering the the words to people on the street or anywhere.

[00:19:08]Only because they're in a resistant stance. Once they relax, you see, that constipation is relaxed, then the new information can flow. That's the That is the the requirement. Openness.

[00:19:20]So, yeah, but for sure you're considered insane, for sure, because it just doesn't compute. The programming is such that it would not let these things in.

[00:19:29]Why should it?

[00:19:30]Is it the the system, life itself, is trying to defend itself, as we've said.

[00:19:34]It's trying to with all its might, and it's been around for billions, so it's very skilled at defending itself.

[00:19:40]So, the part of the thing, you know, one of the strategies to obviously shut down the mind to all of this new stuff coming in, so you don't get any dopamine, you see?

[00:19:49]It's the reverse. You feel pain when, you know, new things are introduced to you, most people.

[00:19:55]That's how the system can continue, and that's how the status quo can be maintained.
