Katharsis & Miasma
In his Work and Days, Hesiod writes (Hesiod Work and Days, 724–6):
“Do not pour libations of sparkling wine to Zeus and other immortals at dawn with unwashed hands—they do not hear your prayers, but spit them back.”
This notion of the Gods refusing the sacrifices of those who approach Them with unwashed hands relates to two integral concepts in Hellenism:
Katharsis (Latin: Castitas): The state of ritual purity. Katharsis is the natural state of things in accordance to Natural Law, which is called Themis. Katharsis is essential for every human being to maintain, especially during worship, as otherwise all of their spiritual work is fruitless, as the Gods will “not hear your prayers, but spit them back” (Hesiod Work and Days, 724–6). Thus we can understand that purity is inseparable from securing the presence of the divine within human society.
Miasma (Latin: Pollutio): The state of ritual impurity. Miasma is a spiritual pollution and subtle energy that can be described as the lingering aura of uncleanliness that various things and actions within the material realm of generation which transgress against the Natural Law may produce and be contaminated by.
Preoccupation with Katharsis and Miasma is a significant feature of Hellenism. Nithin Sridhar writes that “elements of Miasma-Katharsis could be found in the earliest of Greek muthois (oral traditions), with miasma associated with impotence (i.e. incompetence/ pollution) and Katharsis associated with vitality (competence/strength)” (Sridhar 2018, 2018, 178). As such, one’s problem with connecting to the divine could be the presence of miasma. However, it is important to emphasize that miasma is not a form of so-called “original sin,” nor does it indicate that the world of creation is inherently impure. For the former, we must understand that humans are understood as being naturally and inherently pure, with souls which are divine and descended from the Gods. For the latter, we must understand that, as Iamblichus tells us, the realm of divinities stretches from the One, the supreme first principle of existence which the Gods are unseparated from, all the way down to the lowest realm of material nature. Thus the material world we all reside in, as a creation of the divine, is inherently and fundamentally divine in-itself. It is Miasma, not the profane, that is the opposite of the Sacred.
So what exactly is the nature of miasma? Miasma results from transgressions against the Natural Law, which is called Themis. Themis is typically presented as the first wife of the Demiurge, the supreme creator God and King of Heaven, Zeus. Themis is present whenever Natural Law is upheld and sustained by practicing divinely prescribed behaviours; however, when Natural Law is disturbed or diverged, we weaken our own receptiveness to the benevolent light of the Gods, essentially blinding ourselves and putting us in “communion with spirits of punishment” (Sallustius XIV). Hence the retributive Goddess Nemesis arrives, manifesting whenever the natural law and natural order of our lives are disturbed “on the personal, familial, or social level” (Panopoulos, Pnadion & Tsantilas 2014, 74). The companion of Nemesis is Aidos, the Daimon of shame, and Her daughters are the Erinyes (Furies), who are the “anger and agents of miasma” (Madytinou, “Purification”). As Robert Parker remarks (Parker 1983, 107):
“[The Erinyes] may be understood as the animate agents of pollution [miasma] who embody . . . anger.”
Thus, miasma is “ultimately a tool of divine law that embodies the reciprocity of unlawful actions and the inevitability of righteousness and justice” (Madytinou, “Purification”).

Childbirth, menstruation, and natural death are all processes of generation which divert or disrupt the order of natural life that are tied with minor miasma (Guenther 2012, 250) (Panopoulos, Pnadion & Tsantilas 2014, 74). Other things which are miasmic typically pertain to the processes of generation which disrupt Natural Law, such as human blood, vaginal secretions, dirt, urine, feces, sexual fluids, sickness, etc. Making a mistake while performing a ritual or disrupting a ritual (in Latin called a vitium, or “defect, imperfection, impediment”) can cause that ritual to become void and also produce miasma. More severely, unjust actions that can be deemed hamartia, or sinful, can produce a far more harmful and negative miasma. These types of miasma are essentially bloodstains and require more substantial methods of purification to be effectively treated, and can come from any number of impious acts such as murder, kinslaying, parental incest, engagement in hubris, goetic practices such as witchcraft, and so on. However the miasma from any of these, whether the transgression which produced it be minor or major, must be treated through ritual methods of spiritual purification. Miasma is troublesome since, if left untreated, could cause a spiritual blindness that prevents us from being able to bear witness to the light of the Gods, thus causing rituals to become ineffective and ill fortune to fall upon us as we are blinded from the benevolent light of the Gods and instead put into communion with spirits of punishment (namely Nemesis and Her retinue of Daimons). This is worsened by how miasma is contagious, as certain events, actions, places, objects, and people in negative spiritual states can inflict and spread miasma upon other individuals, objects, or even places they come into contact with, including areas sacred to the Gods such as temples or altars. This spreading of miasma can harm society as a whole if left further untreated, weakening our connection to the divine and ultimately risks the risk of disasters– both natural and man-made.
As such, we can understand miasma as a type of spiritual dirt that is accumulated from merely living. And much like how you should not track mud throughout your friend’s house, you should not track spiritual dirt throughout the houses of the divine when trying to make communion with Them; and so we must maintain ritual purity to secure the presence of the divine within mortal society. In temple worship this is done through “the delineation of spatially distinct areas, whose ‘marked-off ’ character (i.e. their sacrality) is highlighted by physical markers (such as, especially, boundary stones) as well as by distinctive codes of conduct” (Frevel & Nihan 2012, 28). Such marked-off spaces are, however, always “precarious,” which accounts for the importance given to the performance of rituals of purification in Hellenism (Frevel & Nihan 2012, 28). Since the Gods are all-good and all-pure, we must respect Their purity, and so those who have been exposed to miasma in its various forms are prohibited from approaching the Sacred, such as altars, the precincts of a temple, or an image of a God, until the impurities have been sufficiently addressed and eliminated. And so a person or object is made pure through a process of ritual purification and cleansing called katharmos (Latin: piacula) (Guenther 2012, 247), laws defined by local sanctuaries which establish the appropriate behavior of a person entering a sacred precinct to engage in communion with the Gods by “pre-empt[ing] . . . the spread of possible miasmic contamination with general safety laws designed to ensure hygienic living conditions” (Madytinou, “Purification”) and thus increasing the “densification” of the sacred within the realm of the profane (Frevel & Nihan 2012, 28). While miasma refers to “any form of defilement or corruption” (Madytinou, “Purification”), Katharmos refers to the purifying rituals which expel the” corruption and discord of particular types of miasma, restoring the innate harmony of purity” (Madytinou, “Purification”) and hence consecrating once more that which was desecrated by miasma (Madytinou, “Purification”). Katharmos is of the utmost importance in the daily religious life of Hellenes alongside prayer and sacrifice, and to deviate from these rituals is a transgression of the Natural Law. As Homer writes (Homer Iliad, 6.266-8):
“…and with hands unwashed I would take shame to pour the glittering wine to Zeus; there is no means for a man to pray to the dark-misted son of Kronos, with blood and muck all splattered upon him.”
Thus the concern of miasma is as much related to hygiene as it is related to the competency to approach the divine. As Andreas Bendlin writes (Bendlin 2007, 178):
“Purity and pollution are two religious categories by means of which Greek religion enforces a religious world-view upon the daily lives of ordinary Greeks. Whenever they access the realm of the sacred (which is said to be pure), and when ever they return from a state of pollution to their ordinary lives, religion requires purification of them. Religious scruple about purity limits access to the divine; religious scruple interprets childbirth and death, menstruation, certain foods, or sexual intercourse as ritually polluting.”
As such, being clean of physical, spiritual and mental impurity is a vital part of the Hellenic religion. This can be seen from epigraphic evidence with respect to menstruation which Robin Osborne writes about in his book Women and Sacrifice in Classical Greece (Osborne 1993, 398):
“In fourth century Cyrene, in [the] late second-century Delos, and in [the] third-century Lindos, a man’s sexual contact with a woman, or contact with a woman giving birth, carried impurity; a sacrifice had to be made for [the] newly-wed women at Cyrene. Concern for impurity resulting from contact with other people seems in the Delian case entirely centred on women, with menstruation and miscarriage as the other polluting factors mentioned (along with eating fish and pork), but this is not always the case, for contact with dead relatives of either sex is considered a problem at Lindos and Cyrene.”
Bernhard Linke further details the importance of ritual purity in Hellenism as demonstrated in Roman temple worship (Linke 2012, 293):
“In Rome, there were also numerous occasions, in which the warranty or the restitution of ritual purity played a significant role. This applied to critical situations that might be caused by the death of a member of the community or by violations against sacral regulations and procedures. In such cases, purification rituals had to be performed. These expiatory actions were termed [in Latin] piacula and were designated to heal any breach of the sacral regulations. Possible offenses to be expiated by a piaculam were disruptions of prayers or sacrifices as well as violations of a feast day or neglect by a priest.”
Katharsis & Erini Theon
However, the perception of purity and impurity is not merely confined to the worship of divinities in the temple, but is also relevant to the harmony and stability of society as a whole, affecting even the most mundane of activities. This societal harmony and stability is called the Peace of the Gods (Greek: Eirini Theon, Latin: Pax Deorum), and maintaining this peace is the central goal of the Roman religion, as it keeps us within the benevolent light of the Gods and safeguards our own collective welfare. Purification rituals also play a central function towards orienting society towards, and the preservation of, the Pax Deorum, whenever that state is considered to be potentially endangered (Frevel & Nihan 2012, 28).
For example, Linke provides numerous examples to show how the notion of purity-impurity informed various rituals that were periodically performed “to ensure the fertility of the fields and to prevent any pollution or sacral impairment” (Linke 2012, 294). One such example are the sacrificial rituals of purification performed all across the Hellenic world called “lustrationes.” The lustration is a broad type of simple ritual, during which the performer “carried a sacrificial animal in a circular procession around an object or a plot (most likely an agricultural plot) and the animal was then sacrificed at the end of the ritual” (Sridhar 2018, 199). The ritual could serve several purposes, such as the naming of a child, the ensuring of a field’s fertility by preventing any pollutive miasma that may endanger them, the founding of new cities, the healing of the soul from minor transgressions, and so on. Lustrations were performed circling parts of the city of Rome, such as its original borders (pomerium) around the Palatine Hill, as well as circling important officials within the imperial courts throughout the Graeco-Roman world (Sridhar 2018, 199). Another example of lustration was the ritual performed at the end of the Roman census. After “the census was completed and the real estate properties were registered anew, the newly constituted community of citizens was assembled and the censor would circumambulate them along with a pig, a sheep, and a cow, which would then be sacrificed to Mars [Ares]” (Sridhar 2018, 199). This instance of the ritual “not only aimed to revive the community’s connection with Mars [Ares], but it also meant to protect the fertility of the fields and attain future prosperity” (Sridhar 2018, 199) (Linke 2012, 294).
So, what can you do to be ritually pure before you start practicing? First of all, one could do a very basic hygienic thing: take a bath or shower before engaging in any type of ritual practice or before entering in any sacred space, such as the vicinity of a temple or near the altar. However, this is not enough if one wants to be in an adequate state of ritual purity. What one needs to do is create and use Khernips (Latin: aqua lustralis). Khernips is a lustral or holy water that is used to ritually wash one’s hands and face before entering a sacred space, such as an altar or the precincts of a temple, that is essential to use before performing any type of ritual. It is made out of the two fundamental elements most often used for purification purposes: Fire and Water. Fire is especially important as it’s used ritually to “cleanse, promote healing, and purify” (Panopoulos, Pnadion & Tsantilas 2014, 75). Khernips is very easy to make even at home. Here are instructions on how to make it:
Get a bowl of water. Ideally sea water or flowing water, such as that of a river (Panopoulos, Pnadion & Tsantilas 2014, 75-76); however, these materials may understandably be unavailable to many. As such, home-made salt water or even simple tap water should suffice.
Light on fire either some dried herbs (such as verbena or laurel), some incense, a torch, or even a dried leaf or twig on fire above the water and quench it in the water. Leaving them there is optional. When dropping it in the water you may say: “Xerniptosai,” or “Be purified.”
Wash your hands with the water, then your face. You may say “Kherniptomai,” or “I wash with lustral water.”
Sprinkle the area and all participants in the ritual with the khernips, saying “Apo pantos kakodaimones,” or “away, every evil spirit!” Alternatively, you can say “Hekas hekas este bebēloi,” or “begone, begone you profane!”
Khernips can also be used to cleanse an item, though to prevent contamination, it is recommended one sprinkles khernips over whatever it is one is trying to cleanse, as opposed to placing the object within the khernips.
Another way one could increase ritual purity is with incense. The two most popular forms of incense in the Graeco-Roman world were frankincense and myrrh (Figula 2018, “Incense”). Incense can be used in ritual by placing resins on burning charcoal, which can both be used as a means of purification by fumigation, or even be used as a sacrifice to the Gods in itself. Ritually, incense smoke and fragrance ascending to the heavens can be used as a way of communion with the divine, used as a means of communicating our prayers with Them (Verbanck-Piérard 2017, 1). Contemporary Roman polytheist Carmelo Cannarella comments on this thusly (Cannarella 2015, “Incense.”):
“Incense smoke rising into the sky is primarily an elevation, an act of transcendence, a moment of connection between the human and the Celestial Deities’ dimension: between Earth and Heaven … The spirals of smoke from incense are released into the air and fly to the sky. This flight of smoking represents the re-union with the Divine Dimension (both for the living beings and in funeral rites) and the flight itself symbolises the ‘freedom of movement’, the liberation from the material sphere, the transcendence of the world”
The healing properties of incense is backed by contemporary scientific studies, which suggest that both substances have a wide range of healing effects that activates poorly understood ion channels in the brain which help alleviate anxiety and depression (ScienceDaily 2019 September 3). Incense can thus help one in achieving a degree of mental purity required before approaching the Sacred.
Approach the Gods in Happiness
Being of mental purity is a prerequisite for the performance of any ritual, as though the Gods are not seen by us, They can direct their divine gaze, which is more powerful than any light, towards us– even as far as our hidden thoughts (Flavius Claudius Iulianus, II 323). As such, one should approach the Gods with a well-disposed mind. Thoughts of incest, murder, kinslaying, adultery, sacrilege, or other impieties, are all considered impure states of mind that one should not be approaching the Gods with (so please, do not actively be thinking of Game of Thrones when you try worshiping the Gods). What one can do to purify their mind (nous) before approaching the divine is a self-preparatory prayer (Petrovic & Petrovic 2016, 48), akin to what Hesiod urges for in his Work and Days (Hesiod Work and Days, 737-41). Negativity in general can also be considered an impure state of mind to be approaching the Gods with. This is because the expected attitude and essential element when receiving the presence of the divine is happiness. This is because it is understood that the Gods live in an eternal state of perfect bliss and blessedness which Aristotle calls makariotes (Latin: beatitudo) (Bodéüs 1992, 117). This eternal state of happiness that the Gods live in is one of the many features that distinguish God from man (in addition to the Gods being immortal, immaculate, perfectly beautiful, all-powerful, etc). As such, happiness is an important value in Hellenism, especially in the context of our worship of the Gods. In order for humanity’s service of the divine to be complete, it must be completed in a joyful manner. Happiness is thus the most appropriate attitude when engaging in Their worship. In the ancient Hellenic world, this is why many religious festivals would frequently feature competitions and games, from sports to the theatrical performances of plays, and see public works raised dedicated to the benefit and/or entertainment of the people. It is also why music is frequent during many forms of ritual worship, and why the hymns are sung during processions and before the altar, rather than recited in monotone.
So if one has tried to approach the altars of the Gods without joy, then they are approaching the Gods wrong, and should not be surprised at any disconnect. Proper participation with the Gods requires blissful attitude. Do not pray in silence; play appropriate ritual music, and vocalize and sing the hymns loudly. Do not merely drag your feet to the altar; dance in procession. Do not wear dreary clothing; wear bright clothing appropriate for ritual. Do not provide the Gods sacrifice simply out of duty; sacrifice out of love, and look to the Gods as Sokrates had: not merely as your lords (despotai), but also as your ancestors (progonoi) (Plato, Euthydemus 302c-d). Embrace the Gods in happiness and look to the Gods as your family, for They are the reason for the birth of all the joys of this world, and Their presence deserves celebration. Worship of the Gods is meant to be a katharsis, not a chore.
Menstruation
The final point I wish to bring up is menstruation. However, before I do this, there is an elephant in the room that needs to be addressed: in the past, menstruation has been explicitly associated with women. However, as our understanding of menstruation develops, there is no reason to continue with this association. Continuing to associate menstruation with women does long term damage to both cis women and the trans community, especially health wise. Many women, even ones who are cis, do not menstruate; and menstruation can also happen both to men and those who are non-binary. As such, it is important to emphasize that menstruation happens to people who menstruate. When we discuss menstruation, we discuss the state of menstruation alone divorced from sex or gender identity, with respect to those who experience dysphoria, as that’s the only relevant thing. A further point to bring up is that this section has been written with the aid of various people who menstruate, from cisgender women to transgender men, who also come from a variety of cultural and religious backgrounds.
In the West, public attitudes and discourse towards the process of menstruation tend to be divorced from any sacral dimensions (Sridhar 2018, 313). While the west reduces menstruation to a mere annoyance that is to be overcome, Hellenism sees the process as something that is sacred and associated with regeneration. Some might see these as opposites, ostensibly claiming the latter being a mere outdated superstition that taboos people who menstruate in opposition to a “modern understanding;” however, there is no reason that medical and scientific approaches to menstruation should come in the way of simultaneously sacralizing and celebrating it (Sridhar 2018, 314). This is especially true when looking to how the desacralization of menstruation to a mere annoyance has negatively affected people who menstruate, often alienating them from their bodies (Sridhar 2018, 315); which is more than clear in how most media represents and commercializes on menstruation, such as television ads or products which often promote language such as “staying free.” To remedy this, menstruation cannot be viewed merely as a biological process, but rather needs to also be understood with all of its cultural connotations. Instead of viewing Hellenic ideas on menstruation as mere irrelevant and negative superstition without even trying to comprehend it, we can instead understand it as something that is both compatible with the modern day and a positive thing which doesn’t taboo people who menstruate.
With the former, we can recognize that our contemporary situation is different from the past, and that times have changed. With the development of technology and growing accessibility of personal hygiene products, people are generally more clean now than they have been in the past, thus allowing for a greater degree of spiritual purity to be maintained also. By no means does this mean we should discard any notion regarding menstruation that has existed in the past; however, it shouldn’t be as much of an obstacle in societies with running water and showers. And with the latter, we can see the positivity in Hellenic understandings of menstruation in that it is ultimately a special privilege available only to people who menstruate that acts as a fundamentally beneficial period of rest, self-discipline, abstinence, asceticism, and self-purification (Sridhar 2018, 318). This is best summarized by Sridhar, who remarks on Hellenic views of menstruation within the 5th century CE Hellenic work Saturnalia by Macrobius (Sridhar 2018, 208):
“From Macrobius’ account, it is clear that although menstruation involved the removal of harmful substances from the body and hence the menstrual blood flow was associated with subtle miasma energies, the process itself was a purification process. . . Not only associated with [miasma] . . . but also as an austerity and self-purification process.”
Rather than seeing menstruation as a terrible blight, Hellenism properly understands menstruation as a sacred celebration; a natural and sacred process (Sridhar 2018, 208), associated with the Goddess Artemis (Latin: Diana) (Sridhar 2018, 179-186; 212-213), that is a temporary state of impurity that, by its very nature, serves as a means and time for austerity and self-purification (Sridhar 2018, 208). This makes menstruation unique among conditions of ritual contamination as katharsis and miasma become two complementary components of the process, rather than diametrically opposed forces. And so we can see that menstruation is an issue of ritual purity, not an issue of people who menstruate being somehow “inherently impure” or “morally bad.” As Kemetic and Mesopotamian polytheist and intersex person who menstruates Erra-Epirri writes (Erra-Epiri 28 March 2016):
“Even in today’s world, independent of any one religion’s considerations on the matter, blood that is outside the body is viewed as physically dirty and a potential contaminant. It leaves awful, stubborn stains. It’s a way that disease can and frequently does travel, and medically we have to treat all blood and other bodily fluids as if they are contaminated. And menstruation, while it’s just another part of life and isn’t a “morally bad” thing, is a just-plain-gross and deeply unpleasant physical experience.”
If you are a person who menstruates, you can embrace menstruation for what it is: a time of rest that only you and others who menstruate get the privilege to enjoy. One should ideally take a break from formal rituals and even chores, especially if the physical discomfort is too great. Rest as much as you can to prevent the spread of menstrual impurity. However, if an occasion cannot be left unobserved then extra purifications will be necessary. This is easier as we live in a society with running water and showers. Take the standard precautions to be ritually pure before engaging in practice or attending a service: shower, apply perfumes, change clothing, change into new pads or tampons, and so on. Before approaching any altar you should do the standard washing of your hands and face with khernips, as all should do, but to assure ritual purity you should double the purification and fumigate yourself with incense, too.
However, if you are in a situation during which you are unable to reach adequate levels of ritual purity during menstruation, or simply are too hindered by the cramps and general discomforts, but nonetheless wish to petition a God at a public sacred space then you should get a proxy to pray for you on your behalf, instead of doing it yourself in a sanctified space.
Types of Miasma
Miasma can take many shapes and forms (Madytinou, “Purification”):
The miasma of the body; in the form of disease and death
The miasma of the soul; in the form of impiety and vice leading ultimately to crime and/or sacrilege
The miasma of the household; in the form of misfortune and calamity for an entire family and the descendants that will follow
The miasma of a city; in the form of plague, injustice and natural disaster.
The miasma of the land, waters or atmosphere; which results in fever, illness and epidemic diseases
Some of the causes of miasma include (Madytinou, “Purification”):
Miasma caused by foreign agents. These foreign agents were usually empousa; the spirits of those
(a) who had been murdered
(b) who had died with miasma
(c) souls who had been denied entry into the Underworld because they had died without proper burial rites. These Empousa are vengeful spirits who are forced to wander this world without rest.
Miasma in particular locations caused by unsanitary conditions due to
(a) natural phenomena
(b) human settlements
(c) violent/sacrilegious/tragic events that had occurred.
Miasma as a form of divine justice in punishment for certain crimes such as murder and miscellaneous actions that were either unlawful or blinded one from the Gods.
Minor Miasma caused by contact with childbirth or natural death
Minor Miasma caused by certain actions
Katharmos
Katharmos (Καθαρμός) are the practices of purification. While Miasma refers to any form of corruption or defilement, Katharmos is characteristic of the special cleansing rites that can expel the corruption of particular types of miasma and restore the innate harmony of purity. Katharmos is of the utmost importance in the daily religious life of Hellenes alongside prayer and sacrifice. Katharmos may take many forms:
Minor purification before prayer and sacrifice. This entails
(a) Pinning up hair (if you’re a female with long hair) since hair is only worn loose in ritual if one is in mourning or specified for a particular festival
(b) Removing shoes
(c) Washing hands and face prior to ceremony or prayer
(d) Purification of sacrificial items by ‘thrown barley’ and/or ‘lustral’ water made by plunging a flaming torch or flammable twig (rue or some such other purifying herb) into water.
Specified Katharmos that must be performed following certain actions before entering a temple.
Specified Katharmos upon the birth of a child or the death of a loved one.
Katharmos to purify the atmosphere.
Katharmos to purify particular locations.
Specified Katharmos to expel foreign agents of miasma (such as empousa)
Specified Katharmos to unblind us from the light of the Gods through supplication and sacrifice.
Katharmos (medicine) to purify the miasma of the body.
Katharmos (music/dance) to purify the miasma of the soul.
Prescribed Katharmos to avert and dispel the miasma of a household and its family.
Katharmos to cleanse the victim of a violent crime (that is specific to the instance)
Special Katharmos to purify a murderer or one who had accidentally killed.
Cult Katharmos to purify the soul (including the Katharmos of theatrical tragedy).
Particular purification festivals
Here reconstruction of purification laws will be presented, based largely on LABRYS’ reconstruction of them based from various sources. Some of Hellenic Faith’s own interpretations have been incorporated.
The Miasma and Katharmos of Natural Death
The specific Katharmos relating to the miasma of natural death applies to anyone who has died of natural causes and includes fully formed still-born infants.
When death occurs, Katharmos must take place on different levels of the social structure
(a) The corpse must be purified
(b) The city’s hygiene must be preserved by cremating and entombing the remains of the dead outside of the city boundaries. Death Rites must not take place within the city boundaries, and furthermore, must take place at night as to not spread miasma among the living.
(c) The relatives of the deceased must be purified after the death rites and again following the completion of the mourning period.
(d) Visitors who come to pay their respects to the relatives and the deceased before the corpse has been removed must purify themselves upon leaving by washing in the vessels of sea/salt water that must be placed outside the doorway of the household.
(e) The house of the deceased must be purified three days after the death with sea water. The hearth (fire) and water supply must also be purified.
Eggs are offered as food for the newly dead to ensure the transference and purity of their souls. This is due to the sulfur content in eggs that acts as an agent for Katharmos.
The Miasma and Katharmos of the Dead
The eyes and mouth of the corpse must be closed as soon after death as possible.
The body is washed by the women of the household with sea water if available.
Pregnant people are prohibited from attending the dead.
If the deceased was killed in battle or by violent means; the wounds are cleaned and dressed.
A chin strap is placed under the jaw and bound on top of the head to ensure that the jaw does not gape.
Coins are placed upon the eyes to pay for the boatman Charon for the passage of the soul to the plains of Arrival in the Underworld.
The body must be cremated as the fire purifies the dead.
Miasma is incurred by both the women who prepare the body and by the men who carry the body to the pyre and/or entomb the remains. The Katharmos of the relatives must be performed by all those who attend the dead as well.
The Miasma and Katharmos of Childbirth
Neither the baby nor the woman giving birth is the source of the miasma, but rather it’s the act of childbirth itself that has miasmic properties.
The household (house and resident family members) where childbirth has taken place, if it happens, similarly incurs a period of miasma to a place where death has occurred. (Please go to a hospital if possible, both for the safety of the mother, the child, and to not spread miasma in the home)
If childbirth does happen in the home, though; the household must be purified on the fifth, tenth and fortieth days following the birth
Anyone coming into contact with the woman who has given birth within the first five days is said to have incurred miasma for a period of three days
Those who attended the birth are polluted until the fifth day Katharmos
The miscarriage of unformed infants is treated as childbirth miasma, not as death miasma, and the Katharmos of childbirth must be performed.
The Miasma and Katharmos of Sexual Intercourse
Personal bodily Katharmos (bathing) is required after sexual intercourse before entering a temple or presenting offerings and prayers to the Gods.
The miasma of sexual intercourse is largely centered on semen.
Rape incurs miasma to the victims (of both sexes) of the sexual violence, and special Katharmos is necessary.
The Miasma and Katharmos of Menstruation
Miasma caused by the mortal function of menstruation.
A bath or shower is necessary before approaching the divine.
The Miasma of Katharmos of Murder and a Murderer
Murder is considered to have the worst kind of miasma, and is especially dangerous.
The presence of an undiscovered murderer in a city is said to bring the miasma of infertility to humans, livestock, and crops.
Even worse miasma is incurred if the murder is committed in a precinct sacred to the Gods.
The miasma incurred by the murder of a Priest or Priestess is dire. The Katharmos required for the miasma of a Priest’s murder was the ritual sacrifice of a Pharmakos.
The specific term Mysos was used to describe the pollution of patricide, matricide and the murder of a spouse. The Miasma incurred by the Mysos is the fundamental inability to continue generations which results in ruined crops that’ll bear no seed and still-born children.
Murderers are to be jailed to avert from the miasma they would bring to those around them.
It was believed that the Gods themselves cast Miasma upon those who have murdered as punishment
Miasma as a divine punishment applies to all types of crimes and is usually associated with a reversal of fortune that must be rectified through Katharmos
If a criminal walked around without being purified of his crimes, he could spread his miasma onto others
The Katharmos from the blood crime took place on two levels.
The murderer had to be freed from the empousa (vindictive and restless soul) of the person(s) whose life they have taken.
They had to be purified from the miasma of the blood crime itself.
If the murder took place in a house, specific Katharmos is required to purify the house and family members. An example of such a Katharmos is found in Homer’s Odyssey, when Odysseus cleansed his home from the miasma of murder by sulfur and fire.
The Miasma and Katharmos of the Household (Family & Family Home)
Miasma and the misfortune it brought to a household might not merely affect one generation, but the family’s descendants. It was thus the family’s responsibility as a collective unit to bring any relatives guilty of crimes to justice. The moral obligation for each family member was therefore firmly a collective liability.
If a family member isn’t privately brought to justice and the proper Katharmos performed for any wrong-doing, it was expected that Miasma would be incurred by the negligent family as a whole.
The Miasma and Katharmos of the Atmosphere, Land & Waters
Land:
The cause for such forms of miasma is usually recorded as unsanitary conditions. As a result, Ancient Hellenic medicine was very concerned with the natural harmony between soul, body, and environment; and in a way, many forms of modern medicine are, too. A harmonious balance ensured health while an imbalance caused disease.
Certain irrigated grounds have properties of miasma and can cause fevers in those who enter their vicinity.
Waters:
Certain bogs and marshes have properties of miasma and can cause fevers in those who enter their vicinity.
There are particular locations in the sea or rivers where drowning or illness may occur if someone should enter these waters. It was believed that one could incur miasma from using the same water supply as someone who was in a polluted condition or under a curse.
In certain locations where the course of rivers has been diverted and their channels obstructed, the waters have spread onto the plains. Terrible afflictions and diseases have arisen from the Miasma of flooded plains.
Atmosphere:
Miasma of the atmosphere caused diseases, plagues, and epidemic. Atmospheric Miasma could take the form of weather, unhealthy vapors and ‘seeds’ of disease. To treat atmospheric miasma, the famed ancient physician Hippocrates was said to have burnt bonfires of sweet-smelling unguents and wreaths to rectify and purify the air.
Quotes
“Never omit to wash your hands before you pour to Zeus and to the other Gods the morning offering of sparkling wine; they will not hear your prayers but spit them back.”
-Hesiod Works and Days, 722-725
“Never pass through, on foot, a lovely brook of ever-flowing water, till you pray and look into the beauty of the stream and in her clean, sweet water, wash your hands. For if you cross a river with your hands and crimes uncleansed, the Gods will punish you and bring you countless pain in future.”
-Hesiod Works and Days, 740-746
“… and with hands unwashed, I would take shame to pour the glittering wine to Zeus; there are no means for a man to pray to the dark-misted son of Kronos, with blood and muck all splattered upon him.”
-Homer Iliad, 6.266-8
“Lead on, bearing before me blazing brands, and, as sacred rites ordain, purge with incense every cranny of the air, that I may breathe heaven’s breath free from taint; meanwhile do thou, in case the tread of unclean feet have soiled the path, wave the cleansing flame above it, and brandish the torch in front, that I may pass upon my way.”
-Euripides’ Helen

The word miasma refers to a noxious cloud or an atmosphere of corruption. Its roots can be traced back to Hellenistic mythology, in which a miasma is an insidious kind of contamination that goes beyond physical pollution. It comes from unabsolved wrongdoings, corrupting all who are touched by it and compounding to a deadly effect. One example of this is the story of king Atreus who tricked his brother Thyetes into devouring his own sons and thus created a miasma that would consume their entire family, spawning one trauma after the next. When the past remains unresolved, when it is not properly processed, it plagues us.
Some scholars say miasma follows whenever one goes against Themis, the divine embodiment of Natural Law; in other words, it is a consequence of crimes against nature. In this regard, I believe that cultural mythologies have a lot to teach us about the climate crisis. When I first read about miasma, I couldn’t help but see the parallels with the pollutants of our day: fossil fuels, which come from decomposing plants and animals in the Earth’s crust. Our abuse of these substances is not only endangering life, but perverting death.
By now you have likely read about the latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), yet another alarm bell that time is running out. In order to avoid the worst consequences of climate catastrophe, the report makes clear that we need to convert to a low-carbon society, and we must do it now. So what will it take for our leaders to cut ties with the past and finally forsake fossil fuels? They know the damage they are inflicting, and they know the solutions, yet they continue to perpetuate the cycle of violence—of miasma.
There were some promising signs of progress in the report, too. As Yessenia Funes pointed out in The Frontline this week, it marked the first time in 30 years that the IPCC named colonialism as a driver of the climate crisis, and one that is continuing to threaten those most vulnerable to it. And remember: the world’s top scientists and 195 officials from different governments had a hand in this. For leaders to acknowledge the deeper sources of the contamination that plagues the Earth marks not only a win for the climate justice movement, but a step toward healing as well.
It is hard not to feel like we are living through a Greek tragedy. We know what will happen should we continue down this road—the prophecies are clear—and yet those in charge are still attempting to outwit the fates. Why? Because men who would be heroes seem incapable of avoiding the allure of that same Achilles’ heel, the main motive behind so many myths and acts of malevolence: power. They have mistaken oil for ichor, and the pockets of big oil run deep—in this world of gods and monsters, any actions against them seem to require a herculean strength.
Perhaps the most frustrating aspect is how obvious the solutions to fossil fuels are, how easily we could avoid this ill-gotten fate. Did you know that, according to the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, the amount of sunlight that reaches the Earth’s surface in just an hour and a half is enough to meet the entire world’s energy needs for a year? And arguments about the high cost of clean energy are no longer an excuse; the IPCC report found that prices of solar and wind energy are notably lower than they once were, even going so far as to say that it may be more expensive to keep going with the high polluting energy systems we rely on now.
I often wonder if fossil fuel executives and the politicians who profit from them really are only swayed by power, or if it might come down to another weakness of gods and mortals alike: pride. Perhaps it is an unwillingness to examine their own culpability in this catastrophe. Aristotle once stated that the true purpose of tragedy is to bring about katharsis, Greek for purification. It is said that this is the only cure for miasma: one must process the past in order to find absolution and break the cycle. Only then will the natural balance of justice be restored.

Pathologic – the Sand Plague: the evolution and the meaning of an eldritch sentient disease
Pathologic (developed by Ice Pick Lodge) is a mysterious game that explores the life of three characters, trying to survive 12 days in a town in the middle of a steppe enriched in ancient and obscure traditions. Even if any citizen of the city is also mysterious, hermetic and cryptic, the real antagonist of Pathologic is a devastating disease: the Sand Plague. In the following article I will describe in details the mysterious plague and its evolution, also providing theories and explanations to understand its meaning. The article is also available as YouTube video on the “Surreal and Creepy Games” channel:
The terrible disease has a mysterious origin and an incredible bizarre behaviour. Soon the peaceful city will become a huge outbreak of infection, with everyday more districts afflicted by the plague. Crossing the infected districts will be very dangerous for the player, who should avoid contact with the disease and the infected people. Since there is not a cure for the Sand Plague, contracting the disease will make surviving the 12 days really challenging, becoming addicted to antibiotics and immune-boosters just to stay alive.
The most important objective during your stay in the mysterious town will be to understand and to cure the cryptic disease. With time, what it looks just an obscure disease, will take the shape of something more complex and malignant, something with a mind and a specific behaviour, as it is also written in the intro of the game.
20190312180240_1

During the days, the plague will change and evolve, becoming more lethal and difficult to avoid.
The First Stage: the filth on the walls
At the beginning, the disease strangely affects the houses, instead of the people. The building will start to rotten, with greasy stains on the external walls, similar to fleshy growths. These houses are called by the people the Silent Houses. Thanks to such peculiar activity, it is easy to quarantine the areas of the town affected by the plague, also knowing which family is marked for death by the illness.
The infected building will soon turn in a mysterious hell. Mold and miasma will grow in the inside, transforming a domestic environment in an alien landscape. For mysterious reasons, the interior of the houses are in an unbelievable disorder, like if a tornado was created inside the building itself. All the furniture will be scattered around in a complete mess, without any logical explanation. The sick people will be lying in the floor for the pain, motionless, so what caused this alien mess? Could the pestilential whispers of the disease be so strong to affect inanimate objects?
20190303110311_1
The Second Stage: the infected and the carriers
The behaviours of the infected people are really different. If some people will be just lying on the ground, motionless for the extreme pain, others would have a more peculiar behaviour.
Advertisement
At the first stage of the sickness, the infected will start to rave. They will feel an incredible hotness and will start to talk without a logic. For example, they will claim to listen the crying of a baby, intense and ominous. The most creepy thing is that it will be quite usual for the player to also listen the crying of an infant in the infected districts. This happens even if the character is not affected by the disease, like if the baby crying is a physical manifestation of the Sand Plague. This sickness is not a simple germ or a virus, but something more complex.
After the nonsensical raving, the infected will crawl toward uninfected people, slowly trying to hug them. This stage is really creepy and disturbing, an abnormal behaviour in the mind of the infected, which, as members of a hive, would try to help the disease to spread faster. The infected at the final stage of the disease would go around the street of the city completely covered, like ghosts, but always trying to slowly walk toward the healthy people to infect them.
Also rats are a determinant gear in the spreading mechanism of the Sand Plague. As relentless carriers, they hunt down uninfected people, passing them the disease by biting their ankles.
20190303111134_120190307191505_1
The Third Stage: sentient miasma
If the bizarre host-control mechanism, used by the disease to spread, is something that could be also found in some parasites, the next step in the evolution of the disease will definitely take a mystical path.
Advertisement
The Sand Plague will get completely alive and sentient, able to take a form visible to people. The illness will manifest in the world as a cloud made of twisted faces. The sentient miasma can be both static and dynamic, rushing toward healthy people like a screaming ectoplasm of dead people. The sentient miasma is stronger inside the buildings, probably due to the sick molded environment.
This evolution shows how the Sand Plague is a sentient being, an eldritch entity able not only to control people, but to take a physical form. In this way the Sand Plague can easily spread and kill on its own also outside the walls of the afflicted houses, without needing a host.
20190310122303_1
The Fourth Stage: the angel of death
The ghastly cloud will continue to evolve toward the final manifestation of the plague: the angel of death. New brown clouds will appear in the city, only in the open spaces. The brown shapes clearly resemble a blurred angel, final stage of the apocalyptic disease. The angels of death are a totally sentient being, who would wait for a healthy person to pass by, before manifesting and attacking him/her.
Not only the clouds are faster than the previous form, but they will actively follow the people, leaving less degree of freedom to escape from the infection. This last evolution of the Sand Plague is able to haunt for the few survivors in open spaces, infecting them faster and without escape ways. If people were able to survive to the slow movements of the previous spreading mechanisms, they have no chances against this fast, relentless and almost invisible form of infection.

The Sand Plague reaches its final stage of evolution, a sentient angel of death spreading sickness and despair among humans.
20190310131717_1
The origin of the Sand Plague is puzzling and mysterious, without a clear and direct explanation. However, this veil of uncertainty contributes to create the peculiar surreal and dreamlike atmosphere of Pathologic. I will try to explain now few details about the origin of the plague, also providing my personal interpretation. For this reason, it will be SPOILERS regarding the plot of Pathologic.
After finishing the game with each character, there will be different explanations about what the Sand Plague truly is. During the Bachelor playthrough, the plague born to contrast the building of the Polyhedron, a structure with an impossible physics supported by huge foundation going deeply in the ground. However, in the Haruspex playthrough, the fault of creating the plague is not on the Polyhedron, but on another building connected with the meat production, the Termitary, responsible of dumping blood directly in a hole going into the belly of the earth.
The inhabitants of the town don’t understand the origin of the plague, which is rooted in superstitions and traditions. The true meaning of the plague is hidden behind multiple theories, each of them more abstract and peculiar. Many citizens even believe in the existence of a mystical infector, the Shabnak-Adyr, a female creature born from the earth to spread the disease among the humans. Well, this could be partially true since there are several bizarre creatures hidden in the cold steppe. But this is another story for another article.
There is one thing that is in common between the many possible explanations: the Earth, or more specifically the soil. In the folklore of the town, the earth is something holy that should not be violated. Respecting the ground, the environment and the traditions is something deeply important for this isolated community. A fundamental rule of an independent microcosm. Recently, people are violating the holiness of the soil, breaking not only the traditions, but also damaging the environment. The Abattoir and the Termitary are relentlessly killing bulls with an industrial procedure, infecting the ground with blood and bones. The Polyhedron raped the ground with its huge foundation, also altering the environment with its colossal shape, like a proper echo-monster, altering the natural landscape with its manmade shape. Both the environment and the traditions of the town-microcosm are broken at the same time by the citizens themselves, which are not able to keep their vows. The Sand Plague is the answer of the Earth to a call for help, a punishment for the broken traditions emerging from the deepness of the ground to annihilate the unclean. The disease is a folkloric immune system, a hive mind that is avenging what was destroyed or broken by human hands. The Sand Plague has a mind rooted in the traditions of the town, and is targeting people that, according to its judgment, deserve to die for their actions.

Of course there could be many other interpretations for what the plague truly is, since Pathologic is a really complex and hermetic game. Especially taking in consideration the children of the town, the cryptic “Powers That Be” and hints of metagaming, the answer to “what is the Sand Plague?” could change. But this is another story for another time.
Few games created an enemy so complex, mysterious and ephemeral such as the Sand Plague in Pathologic, a sentient, symbolic and eldritch disease.

It’s worth noting something important about the ‘Angels of Death’: they don’t affect you at all, if you stop moving while the cloud is on you. You will not get infected, and eventually the cloud will retreat. Almost as if the Angel will only attack the cowardly that run from it…

This was in 2017 and years before these themes are coming up again now, and so those things written there are to be tied into what is being written now, and I'm really impressed that these things seem to be coming up on their own without my really trying or pursuing them purposefully, which is why I chose this thread to use for the purposes of collecting these themes and ideas.
If I see something else really strongly coming up, and something from the past seeming suitable for it, I'll try to channel it into that thread to give it new life and purpose, but it isn't new in the sense that these threads originally had these themes ready for them, but I never got the chance to put them to as much use as I am now, and I'm really pleased so far with the results. Also, you are not interrupting at all by bringing up things that come to mind here, as schizophrenia stuff does have to do with this theme, and that you were so inspired to bring it up here in the past and now, as I was too, all is taken by me as relevant and spiritually significant, and not at all random or a distraction or unimportant, but a sign and a directive, and it ended up triggering all this that I now collected and added to the thread, which for me has been really amazing and fruitful, and I'll put in more hopefully, maybe music that seems to come up and fit.
During this all, possibly the same one earwig, but maybe, and hopefully not, more than one, appeared three times, once going into the wall (paranoid message, that the walls are bugged and I'm being listened to, like by my phone and people around and who knows what, the wires), and that there are bugs and messed up things in the decrepit walls.
I took at least one, and hopefully the only one, earwig out.
So the earwig seems like a symbol for this thread possibly, whereas the spider is the one for the Lolth thread for example, and each thread has various symbols, like animals and objects like for Lolth it is the barrow.

If the bizarre host-control mechanism, used by the disease to spread, is something that could be also found in some parasites, the next step in the evolution of the disease will definitely take a mystical path.

The Sand Plague will get completely alive and sentient, able to take a form visible to people. The illness will manifest in the world as a cloud made of twisted faces. The sentient miasma can be both static and dynamic, rushing toward healthy people like a screaming ectoplasm of dead people. The sentient miasma is stronger inside the buildings, probably due to the sick molded environment.
This evolution shows how the Sand Plague is a sentient being, an eldritch entity able not only to control people, but to take a physical form. In this way the Sand Plague can easily spread and kill on its own also outside the walls of the afflicted houses, without needing a host.

The Fourth Stage: the angel of death
The ghastly cloud will continue to evolve toward the final manifestation of the plague: the angel of death. New brown clouds will appear in the city, only in the open spaces. The brown shapes clearly resemble a blurred angel, final stage of the apocalyptic disease. The angels of death are a totally sentient being, who would wait for a healthy person to pass by, before manifesting and attacking him/her.
Not only the clouds are faster than the previous form, but they will actively follow the people, leaving less degree of freedom to escape from the infection. This last evolution of the Sand Plague is able to haunt for the few survivors in open spaces, infecting them faster and without escape ways. If people were able to survive to the slow movements of the previous spreading mechanisms, they have no chances against this fast, relentless and almost invisible form of infection.

The Sand Plague reaches its final stage of evolution, a sentient angel of death spreading sickness and despair among humans.

The origin of the Sand Plague is puzzling and mysterious, without a clear and direct explanation. However, this veil of uncertainty contributes to create the peculiar surreal and dreamlike atmosphere of Pathologic. I will try to explain now few details about the origin of the plague, also providing my personal interpretation. For this reason, it will be SPOILERS regarding the plot of Pathologic.
After finishing the game with each character, there will be different explanations about what the Sand Plague truly is. During the Bachelor playthrough, the plague born to contrast the building of the Polyhedron, a structure with an impossible physics supported by huge foundation going deeply in the ground. However, in the Haruspex playthrough, the fault of creating the plague is not on the Polyhedron, but on another building connected with the meat production, the Termitary, responsible of dumping blood directly in a hole going into the belly of the earth.
The inhabitants of the town don’t understand the origin of the plague, which is rooted in superstitions and traditions. The true meaning of the plague is hidden behind multiple theories, each of them more abstract and peculiar. Many citizens even believe in the existence of a mystical infector, the Shabnak-Adyr, a female creature born from the earth to spread the disease among the humans. Well, this could be partially true since there are several bizarre creatures hidden in the cold steppe. But this is another story for another article.
There is one thing that is in common between the many possible explanations: the Earth, or more specifically the soil. In the folklore of the town, the earth is something holy that should not be violated. Respecting the ground, the environment and the traditions is something deeply important for this isolated community. A fundamental rule of an independent microcosm. Recently, people are violating the holiness of the soil, breaking not only the traditions, but also damaging the environment. The Abattoir and the Termitary are relentlessly killing bulls with an industrial procedure, infecting the ground with blood and bones. The Polyhedron raped the ground with its huge foundation, also altering the environment with its colossal shape, like a proper echo-monster, altering the natural landscape with its manmade shape. Both the environment and the traditions of the town-microcosm are broken at the same time by the citizens themselves, which are not able to keep their vows. The Sand Plague is the answer of the Earth to a call for help, a punishment for the broken traditions emerging from the deepness of the ground to annihilate the unclean. The disease is a folkloric immune system, a hive mind that is avenging what was destroyed or broken by human hands. The Sand Plague has a mind rooted in the traditions of the town, and is targeting people that, according to its judgment, deserve to die for their actions.

Of course there could be many other interpretations for what the plague truly is, since Pathologic is a really complex and hermetic game. Especially taking in consideration the children of the town, the cryptic “Powers That Be” and hints of metagaming, the answer to “what is the Sand Plague?” could change. But this is another story for another time.
Few games created an enemy so complex, mysterious and ephemeral such as the Sand Plague in Pathologic, a sentient, symbolic and eldritch disease.

It’s worth noting something important about the ‘Angels of Death’: they don’t affect you at all, if you stop moving while the cloud is on you. You will not get infected, and eventually the cloud will retreat. Almost as if the Angel will only attack the cowardly that run from it…

These were great in my opinion:

What parts of the label help you right now, and what parts feel like sandbags?
When things get loud, what’s one small, boring thing that reliably anchors you (tea, a walk, a song on loop, a chore)?
If we banned armchair pathologizing in this thread, what would you want understood about your day-to-day—not the spectacle version, the practical one?
"
Here is the beginning of my thread:
"
Tell me I am saying Nothing again and again what has already been said!
Tell me how he said it before and you can show me and when I seem to say another thing that it has been revealed before and I will say that the mind of God is small if it can not speak anything new yet in truth it speaks a thing only ever once and has never said it again.
Thus we are known as the dead but living, the undead forever, newborns and stillborns and never born again, the decimated and returned to and from what isn't us and never will be and how canthere be one key when there isn't even a lock. Beyond one the fool says 2 and the wise say Nothing whilst unsilent as they would truly speak in a different language, one not made of omissions like the speaking of those who do not see but say.
When you see, you speak, and you report it, and you do not hide anything. The blind the deaf and the dumb hide and are hidden because they think there is something to gain and something to lose and something to hold on to. None are more deceived than those who speak of matters as Nothing Does and they are not responsible for Doing Anything but Will which rides them to the sea like frightened swine.
To be a pig is to live right.
"
This was in 2017 and years before these themes are coming up again now, and so those things written there are to be tied into what is being written now, and I'm really impressed that these things seem to be coming up on their own without my really trying or pursuing them purposefully, which is why I chose this thread to use for the purposes of collecting these themes and ideas.
If I see something else really strongly coming up, and something from the past seeming suitable for it, I'll try to channel it into that thread to give it new life and purpose, but it isn't new in the sense that these threads originally had these themes ready for them, but I never got the chance to put them to as much use as I am now, and I'm really pleased so far with the results. Also, you are not interrupting at all by bringing up things that come to mind here, as schizophrenia stuff does have to do with this theme, and that you were so inspired to bring it up here in the past and now, as I was too, all is taken by me as relevant and spiritually significant, and not at all random or a distraction or unimportant, but a sign and a directive, and it ended up triggering all this that I now collected and added to the thread, which for me has been really amazing and fruitful, and I'll put in more hopefully, maybe music that seems to come up and fit.
During this all, possibly the same one earwig, but maybe, and hopefully not, more than one, appeared three times, once going into the wall (paranoid message, that the walls are bugged and I'm being listened to, like by my phone and people around and who knows what, the wires), and that there are bugs and messed up things in the decrepit walls.
I took at least one, and hopefully the only one, earwig out.
So the earwig seems like a symbol for this thread possibly, whereas the spider is the one for the Lolth thread for example, and each thread has various symbols, like animals and objects like for Lolth it is the barrow.

Claymore, a manga series by Norihiro Yagi, is set in a medieval world plagued by Yoma, humanoid shape-shifters that feed on humans. A mysterious group, known as the Organization, creates human-Yoma hybrids to exterminate Yoma for a fee. The public refer to these warriors as "Claymores," alluding to their large swords, or "Silver-eyed Witches," due to their silver eyes.[1]
"
"
Yoma and Claymore warriors alike are powered by a demonic energy, Yoki (妖気), which allows shape-shifting and extreme strength. When warriors use too much Yoki, they "awaken", becoming a super-Yoma called an Awakened Being. The act of awakening is likened to the feeling of sexual climax, so while both male and female warriors existed in the past only the women proved to be successfully able to resist the allure of the awakening, and so the creation of male Claymores stopped altogether.

UPDATE 12/9/24. PROGRESS UNDOING BRAINWASHING
This post may seem very strange, but it is true. The alien invaders on earth called the thugs, satans or rogues severely mutilate all human bodies and some animal bodies on earth. We did not understand this well until recently.
It is a terrible crime!! Mutilation is used to condition and brainwash people, especially the women of earth. It allows the thugs to control people, either overtly or secretly. The goal is to weaken the bodies and turn people into thug fighters called blacks or black masters.
Before birth. The mutilation begins before birth while a person is still in the womb. Before birth, they destroy part of the pancreas called the criste and parts of everyone's brain. This severely weakens the bodies.
Souls. They also mutilate souls, damaging them in many ways. They also remove and replace more advanced and mature souls with less mature and more tortured souls. For details, read Soul Upgrade.
After birth. After one is born, they soon begin a process of precise beating, raping, poisoning and torturing babies and children, especially girls and women, to further condition and brainwash them.
Secret and professional. This is all done very professionally and very secretly, in many instances. As a result, boys and men, in particular, do not realize it has occurred. They may just hear voices in their head or have health problems that look like ordinary diseases, but are really the result of mutilation.
Undoing the damage. We now realize that the development program is, in large part, an effort to undo the mutilation and torture people undergo. We are also realizing how difficult it is to undo the damage.
Many problems. Not only are the bodies all severely malnourished, thirsty, and out of balance in many ways. Other problems are even worse. One needs to do at least the following:
1. Remove worms that are in the vagina. These severely damage the women's brains and other organs through the vaginal reflex system. Some of them burrow into the tissues so they are not easy to find and remove.
Correspondence. The easiest method to remove these worms is called correspondence. There is a correspondence between the tip of a man's penis and the back of the vagina.
The procedure is one must connect a man to a woman in a special way using fine wires or other means. Once the two are connected, the man runs hot water, hot steam or perhaps a massage machine on the tip of his penis.
The worms do not like the heat or vibration and, if he does it correctly, many will leave. NOTE: most men have trouble doing this and it helps if the man is developed.
2. Remove worms that are elsewhere in the body, such as in the brain, liver, spleen, and kidneys. The worms are difficult to see, but there are scans using red light and other methods to find them.
3. Remove hundreds of tiny boxes in the brain and body. These are tiny electrical implants that function as stimulation devices, control devices, loud speakers, microphones, cameras, and detectors of various kinds.
They are carefully placed in people's brains and elsewhere and can be very difficult to see. To remove them requires special methods to illuminate them and then the use of beaming machines or other methods to remove them.
There are many, many kinds of implants. For example, some called ratchets force women and men to spin their energy centers to the left only, which does severe damage. Some called the spirals also force the energy centers to spin to the left.
4. Remove hundreds of tiny spikes that the thugs shoot into the brain and elsewhere. This is a horrible technology used to damage a person. The spikes are metal or a plastic material and some are electrified. Special machines and other methods can shake some of them to remove them. At times, they can be destroyed in other ways.
5. Remove unusual fine-matter and coarse-matter creatures that the thugs place inside the body. These are quite bizarre and include bird-like creatures, angel-like creatures, four-legged creatures, and others.
6. Other. One must also undo severe and disgusting sexual programming, sexual diseases, and other severe mental programming and conditioning that is part of the mutilation of the bodies. For more details, read Filth, A Rogue Method.
We will report more on this large topic as we learn more.

MAIN ARTICLE
I. INTRODUCTION
Warning. This is one of the most scary articles on this website. If this bothers you, don’t read it. It can sound like pure paranoia or another “conspiracy theory”. However, it is not theory. It is real.
This is also one of the most unusual topics on the website. We include it not to shock people, but because it is true, no matter how unpleasant it is.
We ask that you read the article with an open mind. It will help you understand corrupt politics, chaos, disease, rape, beatings, pollution, wars, social upheaval, and other problems on earth. For example, pollution is planned and keeps the people of earth sick and weak and easier to control.
How does the author know about the rogues, who are very secretive? Those who know about the rogues are not permitted to speak about them. We know about them because I am able to tune into souls, who know all about them. I seem to be able to write about them and survive, so I do it to help people understand our world.
DEFINITION OF THE ROGUES
The rogues, as the word is used on this website, are a large group of brainwashed, technically advanced, criminal beings of many types. They roam the universe beating, raping, poisoning and, in this way, controlling activities on many planets.
Conquerers. They consider themselves leaders and our superiors. They consider us stupid and unfit to rule ourselves. They are very clever liars and know how to infiltrate and take over entire planets.
Satan. The Bible calls this group Satan. The word satan means full, as in full of oneself or egotistical. Similar words in English are sated, satiate and satisfy. For details, read Satan.
THEIR FIGHTERS
The sats. The rogues use the word sat to describe a disgusting hybrid human-angel creature that they “build” or forge. They convert normal human beings into this hybrid creature.
They are robot-like but look and sound thoroughly human. They are very hard to kill. We discuss the sats in a separate article, The Sats.
The blacks. This is a higher level of programming than the sats. Another name they use for them is the black masters. They are all women who have been tuned up to the development level of queen and then beaten and raped so they follow orders. At the level of queen, women develop advanced abilities that the rogues use to hurt people. For more details, read The Queens.
The satans. This is still a higher level of programming above the black master level. The satans look like the familiar drawings of satan – reddish, rough skin, small horns, and a tail with a point at the end. They can be men or women and all have even more abilities than the blacks.
The witches. This is a still higher level of programming. They have even more abilities.
Beyond.The rogues have even higher levels of programming or slavery such as masterminds.
PSYCHOPATHIC
The behavior of the rogues is thoroughly psychopathic, meaning they have no regard for the law or for human dignity. They do what they please. They are highly organized and follow the orders of their leaders. We don't know where the leaders are, but they are not on this planet.
Secretive. The rogues are very secretive, at times. However, at other times they want women, in particular, to know who they are and that they are in charge.
Rapists. The rogues use rape for many purposes and we recently learned that most all women on earth have been raped and beaten by them. It begins in childhood or even before.
They acquire a type of energy they call yin energy by raping women. They also use rape to filth up women and deplete them nutritionally so as to weaken their future children. They also use it to terrorize, mix up, humiliate, dominate and hurt women in many ways.
We believe they are responsible for most rapes on earth. For more details, read Yin Energy, The Rape Planet, Rape and Healing Rape.
Beatings. The rogues beat people. They do this to deplete their nutrition, inflict pain, damage the brain and nervous system and for other reasons.
Poisoning. The rogues are experts with poisons. They poison our food, our water, our air and all bodies. This is done to weaken the bodies and brains to make people easier to control. It is also used to cause disease and to kill people that do not go along with them.
OTHER WAYS TO UNDERSTAND THE ROGUES
1. Toxic and deranged body chemistry. Humans, animals and fine matter beings such as souls and others who are or become part of the group called the rogues all tend to have a low tissue sodium/potassium ratio. They also have higher hair tissue levels of toxic forms of iron, manganese and aluminum.
These affect the brain in specific ways that cause criminal behavior. For more details about fine matter beings, read Bodies In Space.
2. The negs. Some people who know about the rogues call them the negs. This is because their behavior is decidedly negative and destructive.
3. The scav. Some who know about the rogues call them the scav or scavengers. They mean that the rogues live off dying worlds. This is interesting because it is true that the people of earth are unhealthy physically and spiritually.
We also know that if one follows the development program as taught on this website, one will have fewer problems with the rogues. This program drastically improves physical and mental health. For details, read Introduction To Development and Introduction To The Development Program.
4. The troph. The rogues sometimes call themselves the troph. This is short for trophoblast. This is the name of a body tissue. The word in Latin means to nourish the baby.
The trophoblast is an aggressive, invasive and destructive cell type. Its role in our bodies is to invade the lining of the uterus of a pregnant woman and literally steal blood and nutrients to nourish a fertilized egg.
If it becomes active anywhere or at any other time in the body, it is called cancer. For details, read The Trophoblast.
It is possible that the rogues are a type of cancer of the universe, destroying whatever they touch.
5. In terms of politics, the rogues are left wing, communist, socialist and authoritarian. They are completely irreligious, liars, deceivers and destroyers.
DESTROYERS 1-7
The rogues damage people and our planet at every level, from the souls to the planet herself.
- They damage at the physical level with rapes, beatings, poisoning and general mix-up.
- They damage at the emotional and sexual level with the rapes and causing unhappiness.
- They damage at the the ego level by dominating and forcing people to behave the way they wish.
- They damage at the social level with fake friendships and destructive social movements such as teaching that society is racist when it is not.
- They damage at partnership and work levels by corrupting businesses, forcing women to live as their wives, and more.
- They damage mentally because they lie about everything and force all women and some men to lie.
- They damage spiritually by corrupting our religions and interfering with development and the seventh energy center that should connect a person with the Father energy.
A BRIEF HISTORY
I am told the rogues have been present on earth for at least the past 50,000 years. In the past 100 years, they are exerting more and more control over affairs on earth. This may have to do with the advancement of technology on earth.
They have infiltrated most of the mass media, the education systems of the world, the entertainment industry, most large corporations, and most governments on earth.
II. DETAILS ABOUT THE ROGUES
IRON POISONING
We have known for some years that iron poisoning is a huge problem on earth. We are learning that one cause is that the rogues want to poison the people of earth with certain forms of iron. Here is how they do it:
- Iron in foods. The rogues spray toxic forms of iron on many fields, streams and in the ocean. It finds its way into our vegetables, fruit and dairy products. It is one reason we only recommend goat dairy products – they are lower in iron.
In addition, the governments of many nations require that iron be added to white flour. More recently, we found that some restaurants are adding iron to their food, particularly fast food chain restaurants.
Eating too much red meat or too many eggs also gives one too much iron. One should only eat a four-to-five ounce portion of red meat (beef, lamb or goat) twice a week. Some people can eat a little more if one is in late pregnancy or if a woman has very heavy menstrual periods.
We find that women can eat only up to 6 eggs per week and men can eat only up to 8 eggs per week. Otherwise, they accumulate an iron-containing toxin in their livers.
- Medical iron pills and shots. Most people who are anemia do not need iron. They have a copper imbalance. They need a corrective development program to heal the anemia. However, physicians often recommend iron, which just poisons the person more. For details, read Copper Toxicity Syndrome and Anemia.
- Vaccines. Newer vaccines contain iron. The covid-19 vaccines contain graphene oxide. This is a fancy word for a form of iron. Some authorities say all they contain is iron. It is quite toxic and contributes to the disability and death that the vaccines are causing.
- Iron in vitamins. This is a common source of excessive and often poor quality iron. Among the worst are prenatal vitamins.
- Black or dark colors of everything. This includes black or dark colored clothing, appliances, machines, packaging, and more. Iron is in the black pigment and dyes. Some rubs off on your hands when you touch anything that is dark in color. Do not wear dark colored clothing and, whenever possible, do not buy things that are dark in color.
- Tatoo ink. Iron is in the ink, especially dark-colored tatoo and other ink.
- Blood used in rapes and beatings. When women experience rapes and beatings, rogue men at times pour blood on them. They tell the women it is their own blood, but it is not. It is blood meal sold as plant food. The men buy it and mix it with water. The blood is that of cows or pigs. It is very high in iron, which the women absorb through their skin.
- Slowing or stopping menstrual bleeding. Menstruation helps protect young women from iron poisoning. The rogues are able to reduce or stop some women's menstrual periods with drugs. This puts the women in more danger of iron toxicity.
Why poison people with iron? Too much iron weakens the brain and other organs such as the liver and the heart. Iron also supports bacterial growth and in this way filths up our world. Iron is also an electrical conductor and the rogues use the iron in common objects to enable them to monitor, spy, communicate and condition the people of earth.
Iron removal. The development programs we set up slowly remove toxic iron from the body. Other healing programs do not do this nearly as well, and often not at all.
Beware of others offering “nutritional balancing”, “functional medicine” or “hair analysis”. They often say they know our work. Sadly, some are malicious and most do not set up programs correctly.
For more details, read Iron Overload and The Amigos – Iron, Manganese And Aluminum, (and others).
ROGUE MORALITY
The rogues are liars, cheaters, murderers and will do anything to gain and remain in control of the earth. Some would call this amoral. Others would say it is a morality of survival.
Anti-Biblical, anti-soul, anti-God, anti-Christian, and anti-J*w*sh. The true concept of the soul and the teachings in the Bible get in the way of their agenda. So they hate the Bible, and oppose Biblical teachings any way they can.
From the J*d*o-Christian perspective, the rogues are the same as Satan referred to in the Bible – a liar and destroyer at every level. The word Satan means the adversary in Hebrew.
They say we don’t need God and they are our superiors, here to help human beings and souls “mature” and “work off karma”. They say they are our leaders and supervisors. They want us to go along for our own good. They say they know best, including when to steal, murder, torture and rape people.
Sexuality. They encourage sexual activity, homosexuality, bisexuality and other aberrant sexual behavior with loss of sexual fluid because this weakens the bodies. They do not want people to know about Down Sex, which strengthens the bodies.
Stopping development. The rogues cause physical, emotional, mental and spiritual damage to the souls and other bodies that effectively stops development.
Development is a specific process of completing the genetic potential of a human being, creature or plant. They don’t like it because developed beings are more powerful and threaten their domination. They say that people cannot handle the power and wisdom that it brings. For details, read Introduction To Development.
Imprisoning people. Those who do not go along with the rogues plan of slavery for earth humans they either kill or maim. The horror is beyond most people’s imagination. In the future, we hope to have the time to write more about it.
This is a major reason to always oppose efforts to restrict people’s freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom to contract and freedom to associate.
It is also a powerful reason to always oppose gun control laws. These prevent people from defending themselves. There will be a few crazy people who will shoot innocent people, but this is much better than taking away people’s weapons.
Guns and more advanced weapons in the hands of law-abiding people is an essential check on government power. Guns also prevent thousands of rapes, robberies and murders every year. However, the gun grabbers won’t tell you about this well-documented fact.
They also don’t tell the truth that the cities in America with the most gun control laws have the highest crime rates. Also, when other nations such as Great Britain and Australia banned guns, crime rates increased.
The reason is simple – criminals don’t obey gun control laws (or any others). A disarmed population is easy prey! And beware of fake or rigged studies that show the opposite, when it is not true - like the rigged medical “studies” that “prove” that sugar is a good food.
The way rogues treat people is also the reason to never allow a government or other authority the power to lock up people without formal arrest procedures and due process of law, meaning a trial by a jury of your peers. Recent changes in hospitals around the world, for example, must be opposed. For details, read Hospital Horror.
Advanced weapons. The rogues use much more advanced weapons such as lasers, disrupters and electromagnetic rail guns. They are far superior to our weapons and are not permitted in any nation on earth, to the best of my knowledge. Some of their weapons are truly amazing and horrifying.
FOOD
The rogues eat the best food on our planet. The poorer quality food is for the “earths” or “children”, as they sometimes call us.
They have their own farms to produce superior food on earth and more in space. It is similar to biodynamic agriculture – food grown without superphosphate fertilizers. It gives them superior strength and intelligence.
Rogue operatives often have their food delivered to them. They tend not to go to supermarkets, but they do sometimes go to health food stores.
UNDERGROUND RAPE ROOMS
The rogues sometimes use underground rooms for rapes, beatings and other tortures. This way they don’t worry about the screams. The forces defending the earth destroy these rooms when they find them. Equipment found in these rooms may include:
Fixed equipment: The room is quite plain with a drain in the middle so it can be washed down easily. There are cameras placed high around the room.
There is usually a metal table in the middle of the room whose height can be adjusted. Often the table tilts and has bump technology – a rise in the middle of the table that exposes the vagina or penis and the breasts more.
The table usually has stirrups or ‘locks’, they call them. They are metal hoops and you push a person’s leg or arm into the lock and it locks the leg or arm so the person cannot move. They are adjustable.
Above the table they hang a shower sprayer with on-off and temperature control. Lights are positioned around the table.
Other. There is often a chair for dressing and undressing with a small table net to it. On the table is a hairbrush and aloe very gel to dress wounds. It may also have a plastic bottle of drinking water and a bottle of fabric cement to repair clothing that they tear when they take it off. It might have a towel to dry oneself.
On trays along the wall are guns, knives, whips, an electric drill used as a torture weapon, a hair dryer for burning flesh, grease that they rub on the body and electrical stimulators. At times, the trays also have small vials of poisons, paper and pens, long thin sticks for beating people and sometimes other objects.
POLITICS
Politically, the rogues are an example of Exopolitics. This means control of a planet by people from outside the planet.
Authoritarians. The rogues are thoroughly authoritarian, top-down and promote authoritarian rule on earth. The doctrines they teach and promote are what are called extreme left wing and extreme right wing doctrines. (The governments of America, Europe and elsewhere are called centrist, although the rogues want people to believe they are right wing, which is not quite correct).
Left wing means secular. Examples of their extreme left wing doctrines are communism or Marxism, socialism, monarchy and dictatorship.
Right wing means religious. Examples of their extreme right wing doctrines are rule by religious leaders such as in Iran, Saudi Arabia and others. Both right wing and left wing are simply euphemisms for tyranny of the government over the people. For more details, read What Is The Political Right And The Political Left?.
The left-wing lies are now taught in our schools and colleges. They thoroughly confuse and often brainwash the students, and this is the goal.
The rogues have no respect for the laws on earth, though they often claim otherwise. Their motto is that of Karl Marx – “The end justifies the means”. The end, for them, is control. However, they prefer, if possible, to rule by stealth and deception because it is a little easier than ruling by pure violence.
They now control the Democratic Party in the United States and the liberal parties of Europe, Canada, Australia. In many nations, they have even more control over the government such as Russia, Iran, North Korea and other authoritarian nations.
They use many gullible people and many groups to promote their agenda of control.
Energy vampires. They steal vital force or energy from everyone by upsetting them. For details, read Energy Vampirism.
Slave holders. They believe they are superior to us and therefore have a right to do anything they like to us and with us. They believe they “own” us and we are basically their slaves - useful for entertainment such as sex, and for “supply” – to make products and perform services for them. Some of them also consume human flesh.
Ruthless and brutal. They prefer to accomplish their goal of total control without using violence. That is, they try to control us using electronic implants in the head, fine wires through which they speak with us, and other subtle methods.
When necessary, however, they are extremely violent and use violence to scare and control people. They do not hesitate to use murder, rape, torture and other means to achieve and maintain control of governments, corporations, and other institutions such as colleges.
TECHNOLOGY
They are extremely intelligent, and are experts with electronics, especially micro and nano-electronics. They are far ahead of us on earth in these areas.
They use a lot of brain implants, for example. These are placed in most babies soon after birth. They are beamed into the body, somewhat like the transporter system shown in the Star Trek television series. They are tiny and very hard to detect. For details, read Implants.
Meanwhile, they do their best to stop electronic technologies on earth that would threaten their control such as “free energy” technologies, which they use for everything. This is just the extraction of power from the ether, which is everywhere. Nicola Tesla and others on earth mastered this technology, but it is not permitted to be used at this time.
They like the oil technology because it filths up the planet and weakens the bodies of the people, making the people easier to control. There is really no other reason for its widespread use on earth.
Another major technology of theirs is witchcraft, and they are absolute masters with it. Witchcraft has to do with mental projection. For details, read Witchcraft.
They are masters of poisons and have poisoned the air, water, food, and more on planet earth.
They are also excellent at mental deception, lying, brainwashing and propaganda. For more details, read Brainwashing.
Another technology they use for about 20 purposes is rape. It is used for political control, to spread diseases, to weaken all the children, to instill fear in women, to ruin the brain and body, to weaken marriage, to remove advanced souls and put in inferior souls, to filth up women’s bodies with toxic metals, and more. For details, read Rape.
The sats. One of their methods is to rape and beat a human being until they break the person’s will. Then they have a way to blend the human being with a fine-matter creature and an angelic being.
This forms a hybrid creature called a satan or satine, in some languages. The body looks human, but the being is much stronger, hardier, smarter, much more difficult to kill, and easily controlled by them.
They bring these beings to earth by the thousands. They roam our streets, looking just like everyone else. However, they rape and kill, and have no scruples. Some are government and business leaders, others are housewives, and some are even children. This word means the secret ones in their language.
WOMEN AND THE ROGUES
One of the hallmarks of rogue control is the exploitation and oppression of women. This is, in part, because the rogues fear women. Women can help create and maintain planets, and this opposes the rogue agenda of complete control.
Also, women give birth. The rogues need all the people weak so they are easier to control. An excellent way to do this is to make sure the mothers are all malnourished, often depressed and angry or hateful, and toxic. Then they will give birth to malnourished, upset and toxic babies.
Also, the rogues know they can spread mental weakness by infecting women with sexually transmitted diseases. There are close to 100 of these, not the 10 or 20 that the medical profession knows about. The women then infect the men.
The rogues also seem to need a certain energy that they obtain mainly by raping women. They call it yin energy. They know how to extract this energy during sexual intercourse. Eventually, this practice kills the woman.
LANGUAGE
Many speak a corrupt version of the Spanish language. They speak very fast and often abbreviate words and phrases.
POSSIBLE MECHANISMS TO EXPLAIN HOW THE ROGUES CHANGE NORMAL PEOPLE INTO THEIR SLAVES
1. The beatings deplete the body nutritionally. They then infect the person with the rabies virus or a similar virus. This unusual virus can turn a nice person or animal into a vicious, violent killer.
2. The beatings and rapes deplete vital minerals, which they replace with toxic metals including toxic forms of iron and manganese. These toxic compounds can change a person’s behavior from normal to angry and psychopathic.
II. DEALING WITH THE ROGUES
Each person must decide if he or she will cooperate with the rogues on earth. I suggest you decide that you belong to God, not to the rogues.
This means that, in theory, you will not cooperate with them in any manner. In practice, however, you will need to use your judgment and, if possible, tune into guidance as to what to do in each situation.
WHAT I DO
When faced with their actions and threats, I always do my best to get a “second opinion”. I become quiet. Then I put my attention below my feet and I imagine a giant magnet, vacuum cleaner or black hole (as exist in space) below my feet. I turn on the device and it powerfully pulls subtle energy downward from my head to my feet.
Then, and only then, I tune into the Father in Heaven, God, the One, or Highest Level. Then I ask what to do. Usually, I am told not to go along with them.
The reason I go to all this trouble is because I honor the rogues as an enemy. I don't want to be stupid and I don't wish to get into trouble with them if it is not wise or necessary. I just want to do the right thing in every situation.
ENCOUNTERS WITH ROGUE OPERATIVES
The rogues operate by orders of their superiors. This means they may leave you alone. However, most encounters with them are very harmful.
They murder people with impunity. They rape most all women. (see the Rape and Rape Planet articles.) They beat people, which also happens during almost all of their rapes.
They torture people and are masters at torture and brainwashing. They usually also threaten, because they thrive on fear and terror.
They may just lie, which they are also very good at doing. They can persuade through lying and propaganda.
WHAT TO DO
The following are helpful:
1. Prayer that is for the earth and her people, but not selfish prayer (prayer for yourself). Pray all day.
2. Do two coffee enemas every day. This helps a lot to keep them away. The coffee seems to change a person's energy in a way the rogues do not like. Even if they tell you not to do coffee enemas and not to pray, we suggest you do it anyway.
3. The development program we offer. This also seems to keep them away if you follow it faithfully, and you must include the coffee enemas – two a day or more.
It is not a matter of “liking” the program. It is a necessity. And I am not lazy about it. It is first in my life and needs to remain first, ahead of making a living, seeing friends, and everything else. It is a type of worship or religion, you could say, that so far seems to keep me and others safe. For details, read Introduction To The Development Program.
Clothing. Sometimes you may need to run away fast and you should always wear shoes in which you can run – no flip-flops and no tight boots that prevent running. Same with your clothing – you have to be able to run away. Also, men and women need to keep your hair very short so they can’t grab it. This could save your life.
My suggestion is definitely not to cooperate. You don’t have to say it. You have to act it. They may tell you that you will come to a party, or let one of their rapists into your house, or you must go where they say to go. Just don’t do it.
This may be inconvenient. You may have to quit going to school or to a job. You may have to live in a location or in a way that is unpleasant, but to me that is much better than cooperating with them and/or putting yourself at risk.
They may cut off your ears and gouge out your eyes or shoot you dead. It is a risk you take and one that I take daily. That is my recommendation and so far I am still very much alive.
IV. OTHER TOPICS
IS ALL THIS REALLY POSSIBLE?
A logical question is to ask how any group can do all of this? The answer is that they can because:
1. There are trillions of them.
2. They have millions of years of experience.
3. They have extremely advanced technologies, many of which we would find amazing.
Films. Some of their methods are depicted in science fiction and horror movies such as Independence Day and “V”. Others are the Blade series, The Matrix, The Manchurian Candidate (excellent), Brain Storm, and other films.
WHY WOULD THE ROGUES BE ALLOWED, IF GOD EXISTS AND IS IN CHARGE?
1. Some believe they are a kind of disease of our universe. Diseases are usually due to some type of weakness in the structure of the universe, in this case.
2. Perhaps they are here to teach us various lessons. These might be to seek truth always, to care better for our bodies and learn about health. Others may be to learn patience and persistence, to be careful and clean, and to never give up.
3. Perhaps we project our violent and illicit thoughts, and they pick them up and act them out. By so doing, they may help us learn not to project our negative thoughts. See below for more on this topic.
4. Perhaps we have sinned or acted badly in the past in some way, and the rogues mete out punishment for this. This is expressed in the Biblical phrase, “You reap as you sow.”
5. Maybe they make life more interesting and exciting. We know this sounds unusual, but souls want experiences and souls don’t die. A beating, a rape, a poisoning or other horror is just another experience for them that may help them mature.
This website contains a section of articles about the rogues. They are listed on the READ ARTICLES page, Section II, B(8). For example, one of them is Rogue Communications.
PROJECTION OF NEGATIVE THOUGHTS?
A number of strange qualities about the rogues make us believe that in some way they are a projection of our ‘dark side’ or hidden desires, fears and other emotions.
For example, they do not strike randomly. They always seem to follow orders from their superiors. This, of itself, is not unusual. However, they target some people, while others seem to have some protection from them.
Turnaround therapy. They say they use a method of teaching called turnaround therapy to move souls and human beings toward greater maturity. This is a teaching method in which one exaggerates a person’s faults so that the person will recognize the fault. Hopefully, this causes the person to mature and correct his or her thinking and behavior.
For example, if a woman behaves in a sexy way with her clothing, hair, gestures, words or thoughts, a rogue man may rape her. This is an exaggeration or extreme of her sexually alluring behavior.
The rogues say that the reason is to teach her to control her sexual and sensual behavior, and the thoughts behind it. This is explained to some women when the rape occurs.
Of course, since the rogues are liars, it is difficult to trust their explanations. For more details about this method of teaching, read Turnaround Therapy.
They use lying, fear and terror as weapons and they use them very well. For example, currently they promote fear of climate change. Anyone who studies history knows that the climate changes continuously and it always has. But they want to use the fear to gather votes.

UPDATE 12/9/24. PROGRESS UNDOING BRAINWASHING
This post may seem very strange, but it is true. The alien invaders on earth called the thugs, satans or rogues severely mutilate all human bodies and some animal bodies on earth. We did not understand this well until recently.
It is a terrible crime!! Mutilation is used to condition and brainwash people, especially the women of earth. It allows the thugs to control people, either overtly or secretly. The goal is to weaken the bodies and turn people into thug fighters called blacks or black masters.
Before birth. The mutilation begins before birth while a person is still in the womb. Before birth, they destroy part of the pancreas called the criste and parts of everyone's brain. This severely weakens the bodies.
Souls. They also mutilate souls, damaging them in many ways. They also remove and replace more advanced and mature souls with less mature and more tortured souls. For details, read Soul Upgrade.
After birth. After one is born, they soon begin a process of precise beating, raping, poisoning and torturing babies and children, especially girls and women, to further condition and brainwash them.
Secret and professional. This is all done very professionally and very secretly, in many instances. As a result, boys and men, in particular, do not realize it has occurred. They may just hear voices in their head or have health problems that look like ordinary diseases, but are really the result of mutilation.
Undoing the damage. We now realize that the development program is, in large part, an effort to undo the mutilation and torture people undergo. We are also realizing how difficult it is to undo the damage.
Many problems. Not only are the bodies all severely malnourished, thirsty, and out of balance in many ways. Other problems are even worse. One needs to do at least the following:
1. Remove worms that are in the vagina. These severely damage the women's brains and other organs through the vaginal reflex system. Some of them burrow into the tissues so they are not easy to find and remove.
Correspondence. The easiest method to remove these worms is called correspondence. There is a correspondence between the tip of a man's penis and the back of the vagina.
The procedure is one must connect a man to a woman in a special way using fine wires or other means. Once the two are connected, the man runs hot water, hot steam or perhaps a massage machine on the tip of his penis.
The worms do not like the heat or vibration and, if he does it correctly, many will leave. NOTE: most men have trouble doing this and it helps if the man is developed.
2. Remove worms that are elsewhere in the body, such as in the brain, liver, spleen, and kidneys. The worms are difficult to see, but there are scans using red light and other methods to find them.
3. Remove hundreds of tiny boxes in the brain and body. These are tiny electrical implants that function as stimulation devices, control devices, loud speakers, microphones, cameras, and detectors of various kinds.
They are carefully placed in people's brains and elsewhere and can be very difficult to see. To remove them requires special methods to illuminate them and then the use of beaming machines or other methods to remove them.
There are many, many kinds of implants. For example, some called ratchets force women and men to spin their energy centers to the left only, which does severe damage. Some called the spirals also force the energy centers to spin to the left.
4. Remove hundreds of tiny spikes that the thugs shoot into the brain and elsewhere. This is a horrible technology used to damage a person. The spikes are metal or a plastic material and some are electrified. Special machines and other methods can shake some of them to remove them. At times, they can be destroyed in other ways.
5. Remove unusual fine-matter and coarse-matter creatures that the thugs place inside the body. These are quite bizarre and include bird-like creatures, angel-like creatures, four-legged creatures, and others.
6. Other. One must also undo severe and disgusting sexual programming, sexual diseases, and other severe mental programming and conditioning that is part of the mutilation of the bodies. For more details, read Filth, A Rogue Method.
We will report more on this large topic as we learn more.

MAIN ARTICLE
I. INTRODUCTION
Warning. This is one of the most scary articles on this website. If this bothers you, don’t read it. It can sound like pure paranoia or another “conspiracy theory”. However, it is not theory. It is real.
This is also one of the most unusual topics on the website. We include it not to shock people, but because it is true, no matter how unpleasant it is.
We ask that you read the article with an open mind. It will help you understand corrupt politics, chaos, disease, rape, beatings, pollution, wars, social upheaval, and other problems on earth. For example, pollution is planned and keeps the people of earth sick and weak and easier to control.
How does the author know about the rogues, who are very secretive? Those who know about the rogues are not permitted to speak about them. We know about them because I am able to tune into souls, who know all about them. I seem to be able to write about them and survive, so I do it to help people understand our world.
DEFINITION OF THE ROGUES
The rogues, as the word is used on this website, are a large group of brainwashed, technically advanced, criminal beings of many types. They roam the universe beating, raping, poisoning and, in this way, controlling activities on many planets.
Conquerers. They consider themselves leaders and our superiors. They consider us stupid and unfit to rule ourselves. They are very clever liars and know how to infiltrate and take over entire planets.
Satan. The Bible calls this group Satan. The word satan means full, as in full of oneself or egotistical. Similar words in English are sated, satiate and satisfy. For details, read Satan.
THEIR FIGHTERS
The sats. The rogues use the word sat to describe a disgusting hybrid human-angel creature that they “build” or forge. They convert normal human beings into this hybrid creature.
They are robot-like but look and sound thoroughly human. They are very hard to kill. We discuss the sats in a separate article, The Sats.
The blacks. This is a higher level of programming than the sats. Another name they use for them is the black masters. They are all women who have been tuned up to the development level of queen and then beaten and raped so they follow orders. At the level of queen, women develop advanced abilities that the rogues use to hurt people. For more details, read The Queens.
The satans. This is still a higher level of programming above the black master level. The satans look like the familiar drawings of satan – reddish, rough skin, small horns, and a tail with a point at the end. They can be men or women and all have even more abilities than the blacks.
The witches. This is a still higher level of programming. They have even more abilities.
Beyond.The rogues have even higher levels of programming or slavery such as masterminds.
PSYCHOPATHIC
The behavior of the rogues is thoroughly psychopathic, meaning they have no regard for the law or for human dignity. They do what they please. They are highly organized and follow the orders of their leaders. We don't know where the leaders are, but they are not on this planet.
Secretive. The rogues are very secretive, at times. However, at other times they want women, in particular, to know who they are and that they are in charge.
Rapists. The rogues use rape for many purposes and we recently learned that most all women on earth have been raped and beaten by them. It begins in childhood or even before.
They acquire a type of energy they call yin energy by raping women. They also use rape to filth up women and deplete them nutritionally so as to weaken their future children. They also use it to terrorize, mix up, humiliate, dominate and hurt women in many ways.
We believe they are responsible for most rapes on earth. For more details, read Yin Energy, The Rape Planet, Rape and Healing Rape.
Beatings. The rogues beat people. They do this to deplete their nutrition, inflict pain, damage the brain and nervous system and for other reasons.
Poisoning. The rogues are experts with poisons. They poison our food, our water, our air and all bodies. This is done to weaken the bodies and brains to make people easier to control. It is also used to cause disease and to kill people that do not go along with them.
OTHER WAYS TO UNDERSTAND THE ROGUES
1. Toxic and deranged body chemistry. Humans, animals and fine matter beings such as souls and others who are or become part of the group called the rogues all tend to have a low tissue sodium/potassium ratio. They also have higher hair tissue levels of toxic forms of iron, manganese and aluminum.
These affect the brain in specific ways that cause criminal behavior. For more details about fine matter beings, read Bodies In Space.
2. The negs. Some people who know about the rogues call them the negs. This is because their behavior is decidedly negative and destructive.
3. The scav. Some who know about the rogues call them the scav or scavengers. They mean that the rogues live off dying worlds. This is interesting because it is true that the people of earth are unhealthy physically and spiritually.
We also know that if one follows the development program as taught on this website, one will have fewer problems with the rogues. This program drastically improves physical and mental health. For details, read Introduction To Development and Introduction To The Development Program.
4. The troph. The rogues sometimes call themselves the troph. This is short for trophoblast. This is the name of a body tissue. The word in Latin means to nourish the baby.
The trophoblast is an aggressive, invasive and destructive cell type. Its role in our bodies is to invade the lining of the uterus of a pregnant woman and literally steal blood and nutrients to nourish a fertilized egg.
If it becomes active anywhere or at any other time in the body, it is called cancer. For details, read The Trophoblast.
It is possible that the rogues are a type of cancer of the universe, destroying whatever they touch.
5. In terms of politics, the rogues are left wing, communist, socialist and authoritarian. They are completely irreligious, liars, deceivers and destroyers.
DESTROYERS 1-7
The rogues damage people and our planet at every level, from the souls to the planet herself.
- They damage at the physical level with rapes, beatings, poisoning and general mix-up.
- They damage at the emotional and sexual level with the rapes and causing unhappiness.
- They damage at the the ego level by dominating and forcing people to behave the way they wish.
- They damage at the social level with fake friendships and destructive social movements such as teaching that society is racist when it is not.
- They damage at partnership and work levels by corrupting businesses, forcing women to live as their wives, and more.
- They damage mentally because they lie about everything and force all women and some men to lie.
- They damage spiritually by corrupting our religions and interfering with development and the seventh energy center that should connect a person with the Father energy.
A BRIEF HISTORY
I am told the rogues have been present on earth for at least the past 50,000 years. In the past 100 years, they are exerting more and more control over affairs on earth. This may have to do with the advancement of technology on earth.
They have infiltrated most of the mass media, the education systems of the world, the entertainment industry, most large corporations, and most governments on earth.
II. DETAILS ABOUT THE ROGUES
IRON POISONING
We have known for some years that iron poisoning is a huge problem on earth. We are learning that one cause is that the rogues want to poison the people of earth with certain forms of iron. Here is how they do it:
- Iron in foods. The rogues spray toxic forms of iron on many fields, streams and in the ocean. It finds its way into our vegetables, fruit and dairy products. It is one reason we only recommend goat dairy products – they are lower in iron.
In addition, the governments of many nations require that iron be added to white flour. More recently, we found that some restaurants are adding iron to their food, particularly fast food chain restaurants.
Eating too much red meat or too many eggs also gives one too much iron. One should only eat a four-to-five ounce portion of red meat (beef, lamb or goat) twice a week. Some people can eat a little more if one is in late pregnancy or if a woman has very heavy menstrual periods.
We find that women can eat only up to 6 eggs per week and men can eat only up to 8 eggs per week. Otherwise, they accumulate an iron-containing toxin in their livers.
- Medical iron pills and shots. Most people who are anemia do not need iron. They have a copper imbalance. They need a corrective development program to heal the anemia. However, physicians often recommend iron, which just poisons the person more. For details, read Copper Toxicity Syndrome and Anemia.
- Vaccines. Newer vaccines contain iron. The covid-19 vaccines contain graphene oxide. This is a fancy word for a form of iron. Some authorities say all they contain is iron. It is quite toxic and contributes to the disability and death that the vaccines are causing.
- Iron in vitamins. This is a common source of excessive and often poor quality iron. Among the worst are prenatal vitamins.
- Black or dark colors of everything. This includes black or dark colored clothing, appliances, machines, packaging, and more. Iron is in the black pigment and dyes. Some rubs off on your hands when you touch anything that is dark in color. Do not wear dark colored clothing and, whenever possible, do not buy things that are dark in color.
- Tatoo ink. Iron is in the ink, especially dark-colored tatoo and other ink.
- Blood used in rapes and beatings. When women experience rapes and beatings, rogue men at times pour blood on them. They tell the women it is their own blood, but it is not. It is blood meal sold as plant food. The men buy it and mix it with water. The blood is that of cows or pigs. It is very high in iron, which the women absorb through their skin.
- Slowing or stopping menstrual bleeding. Menstruation helps protect young women from iron poisoning. The rogues are able to reduce or stop some women's menstrual periods with drugs. This puts the women in more danger of iron toxicity.
Why poison people with iron? Too much iron weakens the brain and other organs such as the liver and the heart. Iron also supports bacterial growth and in this way filths up our world. Iron is also an electrical conductor and the rogues use the iron in common objects to enable them to monitor, spy, communicate and condition the people of earth.
Iron removal. The development programs we set up slowly remove toxic iron from the body. Other healing programs do not do this nearly as well, and often not at all.
Beware of others offering “nutritional balancing”, “functional medicine” or “hair analysis”. They often say they know our work. Sadly, some are malicious and most do not set up programs correctly.
For more details, read Iron Overload and The Amigos – Iron, Manganese And Aluminum, (and others).
ROGUE MORALITY
The rogues are liars, cheaters, murderers and will do anything to gain and remain in control of the earth. Some would call this amoral. Others would say it is a morality of survival.
Anti-Biblical, anti-soul, anti-God, anti-Christian, and anti-J*w*sh. The true concept of the soul and the teachings in the Bible get in the way of their agenda. So they hate the Bible, and oppose Biblical teachings any way they can.
From the J*d*o-Christian perspective, the rogues are the same as Satan referred to in the Bible – a liar and destroyer at every level. The word Satan means the adversary in Hebrew.
They say we don’t need God and they are our superiors, here to help human beings and souls “mature” and “work off karma”. They say they are our leaders and supervisors. They want us to go along for our own good. They say they know best, including when to steal, murder, torture and rape people.
Sexuality. They encourage sexual activity, homosexuality, bisexuality and other aberrant sexual behavior with loss of sexual fluid because this weakens the bodies. They do not want people to know about Down Sex, which strengthens the bodies.
Stopping development. The rogues cause physical, emotional, mental and spiritual damage to the souls and other bodies that effectively stops development.
Development is a specific process of completing the genetic potential of a human being, creature or plant. They don’t like it because developed beings are more powerful and threaten their domination. They say that people cannot handle the power and wisdom that it brings. For details, read Introduction To Development.
Imprisoning people. Those who do not go along with the rogues plan of slavery for earth humans they either kill or maim. The horror is beyond most people’s imagination. In the future, we hope to have the time to write more about it.
This is a major reason to always oppose efforts to restrict people’s freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom to contract and freedom to associate.
It is also a powerful reason to always oppose gun control laws. These prevent people from defending themselves. There will be a few crazy people who will shoot innocent people, but this is much better than taking away people’s weapons.
Guns and more advanced weapons in the hands of law-abiding people is an essential check on government power. Guns also prevent thousands of rapes, robberies and murders every year. However, the gun grabbers won’t tell you about this well-documented fact.
They also don’t tell the truth that the cities in America with the most gun control laws have the highest crime rates. Also, when other nations such as Great Britain and Australia banned guns, crime rates increased.
The reason is simple – criminals don’t obey gun control laws (or any others). A disarmed population is easy prey! And beware of fake or rigged studies that show the opposite, when it is not true - like the rigged medical “studies” that “prove” that sugar is a good food.
The way rogues treat people is also the reason to never allow a government or other authority the power to lock up people without formal arrest procedures and due process of law, meaning a trial by a jury of your peers. Recent changes in hospitals around the world, for example, must be opposed. For details, read Hospital Horror.
Advanced weapons. The rogues use much more advanced weapons such as lasers, disrupters and electromagnetic rail guns. They are far superior to our weapons and are not permitted in any nation on earth, to the best of my knowledge. Some of their weapons are truly amazing and horrifying.
FOOD
The rogues eat the best food on our planet. The poorer quality food is for the “earths” or “children”, as they sometimes call us.
They have their own farms to produce superior food on earth and more in space. It is similar to biodynamic agriculture – food grown without superphosphate fertilizers. It gives them superior strength and intelligence.
Rogue operatives often have their food delivered to them. They tend not to go to supermarkets, but they do sometimes go to health food stores.
UNDERGROUND RAPE ROOMS
The rogues sometimes use underground rooms for rapes, beatings and other tortures. This way they don’t worry about the screams. The forces defending the earth destroy these rooms when they find them. Equipment found in these rooms may include:
Fixed equipment: The room is quite plain with a drain in the middle so it can be washed down easily. There are cameras placed high around the room.
There is usually a metal table in the middle of the room whose height can be adjusted. Often the table tilts and has bump technology – a rise in the middle of the table that exposes the vagina or penis and the breasts more.
The table usually has stirrups or ‘locks’, they call them. They are metal hoops and you push a person’s leg or arm into the lock and it locks the leg or arm so the person cannot move. They are adjustable.
Above the table they hang a shower sprayer with on-off and temperature control. Lights are positioned around the table.
Other. There is often a chair for dressing and undressing with a small table net to it. On the table is a hairbrush and aloe very gel to dress wounds. It may also have a plastic bottle of drinking water and a bottle of fabric cement to repair clothing that they tear when they take it off. It might have a towel to dry oneself.
On trays along the wall are guns, knives, whips, an electric drill used as a torture weapon, a hair dryer for burning flesh, grease that they rub on the body and electrical stimulators. At times, the trays also have small vials of poisons, paper and pens, long thin sticks for beating people and sometimes other objects.
POLITICS
Politically, the rogues are an example of Exopolitics. This means control of a planet by people from outside the planet.
Authoritarians. The rogues are thoroughly authoritarian, top-down and promote authoritarian rule on earth. The doctrines they teach and promote are what are called extreme left wing and extreme right wing doctrines. (The governments of America, Europe and elsewhere are called centrist, although the rogues want people to believe they are right wing, which is not quite correct).
Left wing means secular. Examples of their extreme left wing doctrines are communism or Marxism, socialism, monarchy and dictatorship.
Right wing means religious. Examples of their extreme right wing doctrines are rule by religious leaders such as in Iran, Saudi Arabia and others. Both right wing and left wing are simply euphemisms for tyranny of the government over the people. For more details, read What Is The Political Right And The Political Left?.
The left-wing lies are now taught in our schools and colleges. They thoroughly confuse and often brainwash the students, and this is the goal.
The rogues have no respect for the laws on earth, though they often claim otherwise. Their motto is that of Karl Marx – “The end justifies the means”. The end, for them, is control. However, they prefer, if possible, to rule by stealth and deception because it is a little easier than ruling by pure violence.
They now control the Democratic Party in the United States and the liberal parties of Europe, Canada, Australia. In many nations, they have even more control over the government such as Russia, Iran, North Korea and other authoritarian nations.
They use many gullible people and many groups to promote their agenda of control.
Energy vampires. They steal vital force or energy from everyone by upsetting them. For details, read Energy Vampirism.
Slave holders. They believe they are superior to us and therefore have a right to do anything they like to us and with us. They believe they “own” us and we are basically their slaves - useful for entertainment such as sex, and for “supply” – to make products and perform services for them. Some of them also consume human flesh.
Ruthless and brutal. They prefer to accomplish their goal of total control without using violence. That is, they try to control us using electronic implants in the head, fine wires through which they speak with us, and other subtle methods.
When necessary, however, they are extremely violent and use violence to scare and control people. They do not hesitate to use murder, rape, torture and other means to achieve and maintain control of governments, corporations, and other institutions such as colleges.
TECHNOLOGY
They are extremely intelligent, and are experts with electronics, especially micro and nano-electronics. They are far ahead of us on earth in these areas.
They use a lot of brain implants, for example. These are placed in most babies soon after birth. They are beamed into the body, somewhat like the transporter system shown in the Star Trek television series. They are tiny and very hard to detect. For details, read Implants.
Meanwhile, they do their best to stop electronic technologies on earth that would threaten their control such as “free energy” technologies, which they use for everything. This is just the extraction of power from the ether, which is everywhere. Nicola Tesla and others on earth mastered this technology, but it is not permitted to be used at this time.
They like the oil technology because it filths up the planet and weakens the bodies of the people, making the people easier to control. There is really no other reason for its widespread use on earth.
Another major technology of theirs is witchcraft, and they are absolute masters with it. Witchcraft has to do with mental projection. For details, read Witchcraft.
They are masters of poisons and have poisoned the air, water, food, and more on planet earth.
They are also excellent at mental deception, lying, brainwashing and propaganda. For more details, read Brainwashing.
Another technology they use for about 20 purposes is rape. It is used for political control, to spread diseases, to weaken all the children, to instill fear in women, to ruin the brain and body, to weaken marriage, to remove advanced souls and put in inferior souls, to filth up women’s bodies with toxic metals, and more. For details, read Rape.
The sats. One of their methods is to rape and beat a human being until they break the person’s will. Then they have a way to blend the human being with a fine-matter creature and an angelic being.
This forms a hybrid creature called a satan or satine, in some languages. The body looks human, but the being is much stronger, hardier, smarter, much more difficult to kill, and easily controlled by them.
They bring these beings to earth by the thousands. They roam our streets, looking just like everyone else. However, they rape and kill, and have no scruples. Some are government and business leaders, others are housewives, and some are even children. This word means the secret ones in their language.
WOMEN AND THE ROGUES
One of the hallmarks of rogue control is the exploitation and oppression of women. This is, in part, because the rogues fear women. Women can help create and maintain planets, and this opposes the rogue agenda of complete control.
Also, women give birth. The rogues need all the people weak so they are easier to control. An excellent way to do this is to make sure the mothers are all malnourished, often depressed and angry or hateful, and toxic. Then they will give birth to malnourished, upset and toxic babies.
Also, the rogues know they can spread mental weakness by infecting women with sexually transmitted diseases. There are close to 100 of these, not the 10 or 20 that the medical profession knows about. The women then infect the men.
The rogues also seem to need a certain energy that they obtain mainly by raping women. They call it yin energy. They know how to extract this energy during sexual intercourse. Eventually, this practice kills the woman.
LANGUAGE
Many speak a corrupt version of the Spanish language. They speak very fast and often abbreviate words and phrases.
POSSIBLE MECHANISMS TO EXPLAIN HOW THE ROGUES CHANGE NORMAL PEOPLE INTO THEIR SLAVES
1. The beatings deplete the body nutritionally. They then infect the person with the rabies virus or a similar virus. This unusual virus can turn a nice person or animal into a vicious, violent killer.
2. The beatings and rapes deplete vital minerals, which they replace with toxic metals including toxic forms of iron and manganese. These toxic compounds can change a person’s behavior from normal to angry and psychopathic.
II. DEALING WITH THE ROGUES
Each person must decide if he or she will cooperate with the rogues on earth. I suggest you decide that you belong to God, not to the rogues.
This means that, in theory, you will not cooperate with them in any manner. In practice, however, you will need to use your judgment and, if possible, tune into guidance as to what to do in each situation.
WHAT I DO
When faced with their actions and threats, I always do my best to get a “second opinion”. I become quiet. Then I put my attention below my feet and I imagine a giant magnet, vacuum cleaner or black hole (as exist in space) below my feet. I turn on the device and it powerfully pulls subtle energy downward from my head to my feet.
Then, and only then, I tune into the Father in Heaven, God, the One, or Highest Level. Then I ask what to do. Usually, I am told not to go along with them.
The reason I go to all this trouble is because I honor the rogues as an enemy. I don't want to be stupid and I don't wish to get into trouble with them if it is not wise or necessary. I just want to do the right thing in every situation.
ENCOUNTERS WITH ROGUE OPERATIVES
The rogues operate by orders of their superiors. This means they may leave you alone. However, most encounters with them are very harmful.
They murder people with impunity. They rape most all women. (see the Rape and Rape Planet articles.) They beat people, which also happens during almost all of their rapes.
They torture people and are masters at torture and brainwashing. They usually also threaten, because they thrive on fear and terror.
They may just lie, which they are also very good at doing. They can persuade through lying and propaganda.
WHAT TO DO
The following are helpful:
1. Prayer that is for the earth and her people, but not selfish prayer (prayer for yourself). Pray all day.
2. Do two coffee enemas every day. This helps a lot to keep them away. The coffee seems to change a person's energy in a way the rogues do not like. Even if they tell you not to do coffee enemas and not to pray, we suggest you do it anyway.
3. The development program we offer. This also seems to keep them away if you follow it faithfully, and you must include the coffee enemas – two a day or more.
It is not a matter of “liking” the program. It is a necessity. And I am not lazy about it. It is first in my life and needs to remain first, ahead of making a living, seeing friends, and everything else. It is a type of worship or religion, you could say, that so far seems to keep me and others safe. For details, read Introduction To The Development Program.
Clothing. Sometimes you may need to run away fast and you should always wear shoes in which you can run – no flip-flops and no tight boots that prevent running. Same with your clothing – you have to be able to run away. Also, men and women need to keep your hair very short so they can’t grab it. This could save your life.
My suggestion is definitely not to cooperate. You don’t have to say it. You have to act it. They may tell you that you will come to a party, or let one of their rapists into your house, or you must go where they say to go. Just don’t do it.
This may be inconvenient. You may have to quit going to school or to a job. You may have to live in a location or in a way that is unpleasant, but to me that is much better than cooperating with them and/or putting yourself at risk.
They may cut off your ears and gouge out your eyes or shoot you dead. It is a risk you take and one that I take daily. That is my recommendation and so far I am still very much alive.
IV. OTHER TOPICS
IS ALL THIS REALLY POSSIBLE?
A logical question is to ask how any group can do all of this? The answer is that they can because:
1. There are trillions of them.
2. They have millions of years of experience.
3. They have extremely advanced technologies, many of which we would find amazing.
Films. Some of their methods are depicted in science fiction and horror movies such as Independence Day and “V”. Others are the Blade series, The Matrix, The Manchurian Candidate (excellent), Brain Storm, and other films.
WHY WOULD THE ROGUES BE ALLOWED, IF GOD EXISTS AND IS IN CHARGE?
1. Some believe they are a kind of disease of our universe. Diseases are usually due to some type of weakness in the structure of the universe, in this case.
2. Perhaps they are here to teach us various lessons. These might be to seek truth always, to care better for our bodies and learn about health. Others may be to learn patience and persistence, to be careful and clean, and to never give up.
3. Perhaps we project our violent and illicit thoughts, and they pick them up and act them out. By so doing, they may help us learn not to project our negative thoughts. See below for more on this topic.
4. Perhaps we have sinned or acted badly in the past in some way, and the rogues mete out punishment for this. This is expressed in the Biblical phrase, “You reap as you sow.”
5. Maybe they make life more interesting and exciting. We know this sounds unusual, but souls want experiences and souls don’t die. A beating, a rape, a poisoning or other horror is just another experience for them that may help them mature.
This website contains a section of articles about the rogues. They are listed on the READ ARTICLES page, Section II, B(8). For example, one of them is Rogue Communications.
PROJECTION OF NEGATIVE THOUGHTS?
A number of strange qualities about the rogues make us believe that in some way they are a projection of our ‘dark side’ or hidden desires, fears and other emotions.
For example, they do not strike randomly. They always seem to follow orders from their superiors. This, of itself, is not unusual. However, they target some people, while others seem to have some protection from them.
Turnaround therapy. They say they use a method of teaching called turnaround therapy to move souls and human beings toward greater maturity. This is a teaching method in which one exaggerates a person’s faults so that the person will recognize the fault. Hopefully, this causes the person to mature and correct his or her thinking and behavior.
For example, if a woman behaves in a sexy way with her clothing, hair, gestures, words or thoughts, a rogue man may rape her. This is an exaggeration or extreme of her sexually alluring behavior.
The rogues say that the reason is to teach her to control her sexual and sensual behavior, and the thoughts behind it. This is explained to some women when the rape occurs.
Of course, since the rogues are liars, it is difficult to trust their explanations. For more details about this method of teaching, read Turnaround Therapy.
They use lying, fear and terror as weapons and they use them very well. For example, currently they promote fear of climate change. Anyone who studies history knows that the climate changes continuously and it always has. But they want to use the fear to gather votes.
