Konsidering Kokology

This question was posed to PluribusOne™ Consulting: Is the popular Kokology game of self-discovery based on science, as its developers claim, and, if so, does it reveal the true Self—the spirit or non-mortal/immortal soul of a person?

The answer is that, yes, it does have a scientific basis, and it can reveal a person’s unconscious attitudes about anything, but it does not reveal the soul (where “soul” is taken to mean the “higher-self).” As useful as this innovative work of practical genius is, the application of the game is limited to revealing hidden aspects of the human persona. As the authors of the Kokology books (Tadahiko Nagao and Isamu Saito) rightly and simply state: “It’s kind of like a Rorschach test that uses words instead of inkblots” to reveal hidden attitudes. They don’t appear to claim that Kokology can read the “soul,” as that term is understood by many Westerners. 

The spirit, non-mortal soul, or higher-self, is not of the space-time realm. The mortal human body and personality is a puppet-like expression of the higher-self in human form, here in the material world for the purpose of achieving a particular life experience. But the higher-self is not mortal and is not confined to human views and values. In other words, when Kokology or Rorschach testing manages to peer beneath a person’s outer mask, which is shaped by things such as cultural conditioning, what it finds is a deeper and disinhibited mask, the mask fashioned by the higher-self for the particular life mission. 

Kokology works because the human psyche is structured as a set of patterns within patterns. So, as one’s attitude about a certain activity, skiing for example, may be reflected in their attitude about sexual lovemaking, the study of the grain of a piece of wood or the entrails of an animal by an attuned individual will similarly reveal correspondences to numerous situations in the world at large. Such forms of divination were condemned in some societies, not because they never worked, but because they often did work—and yet the information garnered was not 100% reliable, not products of the highest “dimensions of Consciousness,” to use Noetitek™-based terminology. 

To prove our conclusions for yourself, get a copy of one of the Kokology books and do this experiment: Do some of the exercises and see what these disinhibiting scenarios reveal about your attitude regarding the corresponding matters. Identify part of a revealed attitude that inclines you to think:  “I don’t like having this attitude.” Then go back to the scenario part of that exercise and change your answer to something that would produce the corresponding attitude you would rather have. Take ten minutes a day for a month and meditate on your new answers to the chosen scenario without thinking about the attitude to be changed. The attitude you did not wish to retain will automatically shift to, or towards, something more agreeable to you. Test the change by observing your subsequent decisions and actions. 

We conclude that Kokology exercises are limited to studying the malleable personality, the programmable mask, not the higher non-mortal self. Yet, applied in the manner we are suggesting, the game can be used as a simple and practical tool for personal development.

Special Report: Diabetes is Curable

This post marks our 100^th for the first year of this blog. The blog was begun because the introduction of something radically new, such as Noetitek™, requires demonstrations of validity. Every one of PluribusOne™’s posts serves that agenda, while the right-hand side of the blog provides other information, as you can see. As the hundredth, this post will serve a special purpose that goes beyond the mission to promote our wares. As the owner of PluribusOne™ my intention with this post is to supply—as a public service—living proof that diabetes (type 2), which is harming millions of people worldwide, in terms of lifespan, quality of life, and medical expense, is completely curable. 

Although necessarily longer than other posts, what follows is a brief overview of how I cured myself of type 2 diabetes. 

About six years ago I was diagnosed as having diabetes, including related complications such as neuropathy and cardiovascular abnormalities. When I challenged the diagnosis, I was retested and the diagnosis was confirmed. The test is called an A1C and my results indicated an average glucose level more than three times what it should have been. I was told that this disease is incurable. I was also told that, although it could be controlled by oral medication at first, I would eventually require daily and then more frequent insulin injections over the next ten to twelve years, the maximum that I should expect to live, based on my genetic history and medical science statistics. Because my father had died of cardiovascular complications caused by type 2 (adult-onset) diabetes, I resolved to find a cure. At the same time, it seemed wise to immediately avail myself of all resources available through the traditional (allopathic) medical practitioners. 

In tandem with scheduling the first round of appointments with a host of specialists, beginning with a dietitian and a podiatrist, I began seeking a cure that would not require prescription drugs, surgery, or periodic therapy of any kind. The most amazing thing is that I actually discovered that cure in one day, and by the end of ninety days I was able to stop taking the oral medication (glyburide). Within one year, my A1C results were lower than the average non-diabetic. My neuropathy retreated entirely, and intensive cardio-vascular testing showed that my heart was entirely healthy and there was no plaque in my blood vessels! Needless to say, the doctors were stunned. Although none would say I was cured, all had to admit that I was free of the signs and symptoms. Is that not what cured means? And, while the cost of medical treatments in that short time had exceeded $12,000 (according to my health insurer), the cost of the cure was about $500, which was less than I had paid in co-payments for medical services. 

How was I able to cure my diabetes? It did not involve any exercising. In fact, my doctor advised me to not exercise at that point, fearing it would trigger a heart-attack. The cure addressed what I concluded is the real cause of type 2 diabetes, which is this: poorly nourished body cells. Although I was overweight, I was undernourished due to blockage in the “delivery system” caused by trans-fats and, ironically, exacerbated by a low-fat diet that was excluding the ingestion of healthy fats and oils the body needs in order to deliver nutrients to the cells. Without proper nutrition, the (insulin-resistant) cells are constantly crying out for more, which translates to hunger that leads to over-eating, high glucose levels, increased body fat, and type 2 diabetes. In short, I changed my diet, lost weight, created a set of recipes for healthy meals unavailable in any pre-packaging or restaurants that I know, and took sixty different food supplements a day—vitamins, minerals, as well as certain herbs—in high “therapeutic” dosages at first and then tapering off to normal dosages and eventually eliminating many. 

At this point I see type 2 diabetes in the same way that I see the common cold. If you have a cold and the symptoms eventually disappear, that cold is cured. However, without following a personal prescription for wellness—including a healthy diet, exercise, and immune system support—you can catch another cold, or suffer the return of diabetes and the host of related complications. 

PluribusOne™ is not licensed to practice medicine. Because of this, we have been advised to not share details about the supplements we used and to not endorse any particular resources. Nor can we offer services or products that claim to cure diabetes. We can and do encourage sensible use of the services of qualified medical doctors, and we discourage self-diagnosis (although A1C test kits are available at most pharmacies).

The Key to Kieślowski

Writer-director-cinematographer, Krzysztof Kieślowski (1941-1996), a leader in European film-making focused his creative energies on, in our analysis, using screenplays to facilitate the idea of unity-in-diversity and healing between individuals and among the nations of the world. Although his entrance into the film-making field is often described as inadvertent, it is clear from the body of work that dominated his too-brief time on Earth that Kieślowski’s life mission was to influence the improvement of the human condition on planetary scale. 

During the development of Noetitek™ and prior to our founding PluribusOne™ Consulting, we were first drawn into an examination of Kieślowski’s work after hearing about his intriguing 1991 production: The Double Life of Véronique, which critics called a “difficult” film, one that does not yield its “secrets” easily. One critic went so far as to conclude that the film was not about anything (!), a mystery with no solution intended—an absurd opinion. When we studied the film, we saw a story that drew upon metaphysics and quantum entanglement, a story to encourage an awareness of the higher and widely unrecognized connectedness of all people (and, no doubt, to reinforce the spirit of the unification of Europe) by documenting—through action more so than word—the life of a twin-soul incarnated as two identical but individual women, one living in France and the other in Poland. With this realized, multiple viewings reveal more and more about the deeper story and about the mind and muse of Krzysztof Kieślowski. 

His crowning work, Three Colors (1994), a trilogy completed and distributed not long before his death in 1996, further demonstrates the idea of unity through entangled quantum consciousness and manages to promote the European Union again (these films were partially funded by France, a founder of the EU). It explores the meaning underlying the colors of the French flag: liberty, equality, and fraternity in a manner some critics called “magnificent” but also, again, “mysterious.” The mystery is solved when the viewer realizes that Kieślowski was essentially a metaphysician who used movies as his medium for the expression of what we want to call “practical morality”—spiritual reconnection without religion.

In analyzing his final works we were astounded by the masterful way in which he used either deeply occult/esoteric knowledge or an equivalent instinct of the Law of Correspondence in weaving together ingredients such as: color, shape, sound, movement, setting, lighting, timing, characters, sexuality, synchronicity, props, etcetera, in order to make complex and profound statements that go beyond the mere mimicking of reality and create a super-reality that opens doors of perception on the world as it is, and as it can be. Each time we re-experience the trilogy Blue, White, and Red we discover something new and amazing in this expression of absolute genius.

Astrology as Science

There is an old saying that: “Even a stopped clock will show the correct time twice a day.” So, it isn’t surprising that the Sun sign horoscopes that millions of people read religiously will ring true once in a while. But is the curiosity or intuition that draws the reader’s attention nothing more than a wishful grasping for some hope of certainty in an uncertain world? Or does something in the human psyche sense a deep truth? 

PluribusOne™ Consulting has taken an in-depth look at Astrology, examining it in the light of the multifaceted set of correspondences that lie at the core of the Noetitek™ system. We have determined that Astrology stacks up as a true science, a science based on the Hermetic teaching of “as above, so below”—the idea that the macrocosm is reflected in the microcosm. Our validation accepts this aspect of Hermeticism and goes further because we have been able to connect astrology with the Language of Nature and with the structure of Omniverse (see, for example, our post: “Multidimensionality and Turbulence Theory”). 

It is not surprising to us that Ptolemy and Johannes Kepler, among others, studied and practiced astrology. Correlating the positions of planets against the star-field, astrology allowed them to accurately foresee planetary pathways, eclipses, and comets. Other correspondences between patterns in the sky and patterns of natural phenomena (e.g., seasons) on Earth had also been tracked for millennia. No oceanographer today would deny the effect of the Moon on Earth’s tides, and similar connections are recognized in other disciplines of present-day science. Clearly there is a connection between movements in the sky and movements on our planet. Astrology persists in usage because it generally holds true, even in the human mechanism where “will” plays a role. Natural forces impel us; they do not compel us. 

Approaching the validation of astrology as a science from a position complementary to ours, Dr. Percy Seymour of Plymouth Polytechnic Institute in England wrote a few excellent books, including: The Scientific Basis of Astrology (St. Martin’s Press). Yet, through using Cartesian-based methods to “scientifically” test the tenets of astrology, controversial results are sometimes produced. We attribute this to Descartes’ philosophical limitation and subsequently mistaking the habits of Nature for laws of Nature. Nothing is 100%, perhaps especially human perception itself. Quality control experts, for example, can easily demonstrate the fact that the average person’s perception is accurate much less than 90% of the time. People are not robots and neither are planets as they move within solar systems that move within galaxies that move within universes that move within the turbulence of Omniverse. If it operated perfectly smoothly there wouldn’t be craters on the Moon.

“Adjusting” Ouspensky

The Russian math theorist, mystic, philosopher, and spiritual teacher, P. D. (Peter Demianovich) Ouspensky (1878-1947), having been influenced by Greek mystic, G. I. Gurdjieff, developed a program for self-development that blended the science of his day with ancient Eastern mystical conceptualizing. His system for becoming self-aware and controlling one’s own consciousness gained followers from Aldous Huxley, to Katherine Mansfield, to J. B. Priestly and A. R. Orage. A set of lectures containing the gist of his philosophy, theory, and program was completed shortly before his death and published in a book titled: The Psychology of Man’s Possible Evolution. 

Ouspensky’s work remains admirable today. However, using the Noetitek™ system, which employs a collated set of “languages” that comprise the Language of Nature, PluribusOne™ has been able to refine Ouspensky’s theorizing and take it to another level where it fully comports with the new philo-religion of NoetiTaoism™, a way that may be called The Fifth Way. Whereas the way attributed to Gurdjieff and Ouspensky represents a synthetic fusion of other systems, NoetiTaoism™ reflects the correction of errors within that fusion by making adjustments that integrate discoveries emerging through the ongoing development of Noetitek™. 

By using Noetitek™ we have been able to map the macrocosm (see, for example, our post: “Multidimensionality and Turbulence Theory”), which simultaneously allowed us to map the microcosm, as well as the bridging process, all of which has resulted in new insights related to prior perceptions about the human body’s energy centers (chakras), the glands of the body and their functions, and the inner “ladder” of neurological circuits—the metaphorical “stairway to Heaven”—among many other breakthroughs. 

Specifically related to Ouspensky’s conceptualizing, we see that his ideas about the four “centers”: Intellectual, Emotional, Instinctive, and Moving, when set alongside our collated map of the human being, including such elements as the chakras and neurological circuits (which are not quite as perceived traditionally), we are able to understand exactly how the aspects of a human that Ouspensky called “essence” and “personality” interact and why these terms need to be re-conceptualized and renamed in order to allow for greater effectiveness in pursuing intentional “work” on the self toward making the next intentional evolutionary step: from Homo sapiens” to “Homo noeticus.”

Roswell Crash: The Mystery Metal

The intriguing story of the 1947 crash of a “UFO” near Roswell (or Corona) New Mexico, on the ranch of a Mac Brazel, has been the subject of numerous books and periodicals for decades. A lot of exciting second-generation anecdotal evidence supports the idea that the crashed object was extraterrestrial and contained little aliens, but the only firsthand anecdotal evidence relates to shards of a mysterious metal said to have been collected at the Corona crash-site. The most certain statement that can be made is that in 1947 a young man saw pieces of a metal having unusual properties. 

That something crashed on Brazel’s ranch seems beyond doubt, and PluribusOne™ is intrigued by the idea that the crashed object might have been a spaceship from beyond Earth. However, despite a newspaper reporter’s recent discovery of a declassified government document indicating a connection between the Roswell Crash, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, and the Battelle Memorial Institute—the institute charged with developing a Titanium-based alloy with “shape memory”—this evidence remains inconclusive with regard to the nature and origin of the crashed object. 

Although crash debris collected was unusual, as attested to by the one credible firsthand witness whose father showed him the metal—and he was investigated by equally credible investigators—an alternative conclusion to consider is that the object that crashed was made of materials developed at Battelle, delivered via Wright-Patterson AFB, and used in the construction of experimental aircraft in an “above top secret” facility in New Mexico. Today we know such facility existed, but none of the military officers involved in the crash recovery is likely to have known about it; the purpose of the OSS/CIA’s “Project (or ‘Operation’) Paperclip,” which smuggled former Nazi scientists into the USA to conduct secret research toward creating a space program, was revealed to the public only decades later. 

So, here is the basis for our persistent skepticism about the best evidence of the Roswell crash: The metal was reportedly so pliable that it could not be creased or bent, so strong that it could not be cut, burned, or melted, and so impervious to penetration that a bullet fired from a high-powered rifle could not even scratch or dent it. And, yet, there was a debris field covered with broken pieces of this indestructible material. Was it struck by a meteorite from the exploded planet Krypton? We agree that there is a cover-up, but does it involve a crashed spacecraft from another world, or is it not more likely to involve a crashed secret science machine manufactured in New Mexico? Some secrets need to be kept for purposes of national security.

Secret History: Knights Templar

Many popular books published in recent decades focus on the “history” (i.e., speculative legends) of the Knight’s Templar, including differing versions of the story of the demolition of the Knights Templar including Jacques de Molay’s arrest and execution, along with followers. The Templars had been established to serve as a military arm of the Roman Catholic Church, itself another focal point for exposal texts. However, very little has been published about King Philip IV of France—Philipe IV le Bel, a/k/a Philip the Fair—(1285-1314), and even less has been revealed about the overall Capetian Dynasty in those books. The House of Capet began with Hugh Capet when, at age seventy—having an ancestry that included Otto II and Charlemagne—he was elected by fellow nobles to rule over the Franks from 987 until his death nine years later. 

None of the popular books—some of them bestsellers—in their discussions of conflicts between Church and State in France, as well as elsewhere in Europe, tells the complete and true story of the relationships among these key figures: Philip IV, Jacques de Molay, and three Popes: Boniface VIII, Benedict VIII, and Clement V. That secret story reveals the seedlings of the push for a Reformation that would not emerge fully until 203 years after de Molay’s death, with Martin Luther’s posting of The Ninety-Five Theses in 1517. And a skeleton key to a greater truth has been preserved over centuries through certain descendants of the Capetian bloodline who carried the vision to the Americas. I am one of those Capetian descendants, the eldest member of a branch established through a blending of the bloodline of a Catholic Saint (Louis IX) with one of English Freemasons. I was given that skeleton key when I was a young boy, in four easy-to-remember words that form the capstone of a pyramid of spiritual insights. 

Presentation of details will be book-length, but the gist of the secret story is basically this: the purposes of le Bel and de Molay were not at odds. The two shared a destiny, an agenda, and each played his role. The true story of the relationship between these two pioneering reformers of the power structure of Europe, and of their actions that achieved it, has never been told publicly. The mission of the Capetian Dynasty and the Knights Templar under de Molay was one and the same: freedom from oppression by self-serving Church leaders and doctrines; assurance of justice and social service by the State; unified governance of all European tribes; and expansion towards a non-imperialist civilization. The part of the mission accomplished by Jacques and Philipe was foundational for Freemasons who continued to spearhead the original vision that has taken form as the European Union and is presently unfolding among nations in the Americas. 

Note that the Vatican, which is a separate and sovereign Zion-like State, was not among the six original members of the European Union (which, of course, included France), and it is not among the twenty-seven members that comprise the EU today. Nor has it ever chosen to be a member of the UN. As former U.S. President, and famous Freemason, Harry S. Truman hinted: “The only thing new in the world is the history you don’t know.”

Analysis: Dürer’s “Melancholia I”

German Renaissance artist, Albrecht Dürer, painter and printmaker, created many masterful artworks, including the enigmatic “Melencholia [symbol] I,” presented in most articles and textbooks as “Melancholia I,” as if it were the first of an unfinished series and the symbol meaningless. Misunderstanding the title, and the strange banner displaying it, reflects the fact that apparently no one has interpreted the meaning of this woodcut print correctly. The title appears on the face of the work itself, exactly as Dürer intended, probably to help ensure against such tampering and loss of the associated revelatory message of the work as a whole, and yet… 

“Melencholia” (see Image File #9) is said to be Dürer’s most analyzed and controversial work, a riddle, an enigma unsolved for almost five-hundred years—which is exactly the kind of challenge PluribusOne™ Consulting seeks because it offers us further opportunity to showcase the efficacy of our proprietary Noetitek™ system. Removing all ambiguity at last, PluribusOne™ has discovered the secret meaning of this rare masterpiece. It is truly a deeply occult work with extensive esoteric knowledge ingeniously embedded throughout. Fortunately, it survived the spirit of banning or burning, embers of which remain smoldering even today. 

Most surprising, we found no published historian or analyst who has understood the meaning or message—the profound teaching—preserved in this amazing piece of Northern Renaissance art. Although most historians see the scene as allegorical, and we agree, the analyses have been out of sync in almost every single respect. At some point we will share all details in book form, which is necessary because our findings were so extensive and intertwined. Meanwhile, the public deserves to know at least one basic truth about this print without delay: the main figure is not a female angel, as often stated, but a disguised self-portrait. Among many other common errors is the typical numerical assessment of the tabula Iovis (magic square). 

Dürer’s genius has never been fully recognized. We look forward to sharing more. 

(See also our post: “Nine Stairs from Nowhere” that discusses another image with a ladder. There is a connection, but Dürer’s ladder has unique significance.)

NoetiTao™ and the Meaning of Israel

Some questions come to PluribusOne™ from “out of the blue.” These are, in our experience, always questions that are more important to study and share with others than they seem to be, at least at first. We also find that when such questions arise, the answer is always close at hand, as close as an attachment to an email. Such was the case with the question: What is the meaning of the word “Israel?” 

Our research included many sources, both sacred and secular, mystical as well as religious, sources we prefer to not disclose at this time for numerous reasons, not the least of which being our desire to avoid provoking perceived authorities in the matter who may feel that we are either challenging them specifically or supporting any particular texts. We respect the traditions and belief systems of everyone. So, instead, we prefer to simply provide the results of our findings—call it “our well-considered opinion”—for anyone, including academics and theologians, to ponder and examine for themselves. 

Having provided that preface, this is our conclusion: 

The word “Israel,” rooted in an ancient language but presented here in English, refers to humanity’s unseen connections from the lowest levels of physicality to the highest levels of Consciousness—i.e., all dimensions. More importantly, “Israel” further reflects and reveals that the overall connection is impossible to break or discontinue. For NoetiTaoism™ this interpretation is plainly and clearly true because everything is of the indelible One, and the name “Israel” is reflective of this Oneness because it means: Moon-Sun-Stars—Omniverse in its entirety, from here to forever, all inclusive.

Sistine Chapel Ceiling Concealing?

There has been much debate about whether Michelangelo used a then uncommon knowledge of brain anatomy to fashion a secret symbolic message about Christianity and the Church’s agenda (see Image File #8 before proceeding). 

Was Michelangelo trying to make a coded secret society statement that would mock Christian conceptualizing of God and angels? Based on the stressful relationship Michelangelo had with the Pope and the fact that Michelangelo was known to be arrogant and a maverick, the speculation is understandable. There is no doubt that he might have seen a human brain or “borrowed” something from a da Vinci sketch, especially considering that Leonardo definitely had extensive knowledge of the appearance of cranial contents, and the two men crossed paths in competing for commissions. However, we do not agree with the occult conspiracy theory idea; we have found no evidence that Michelangelo was an occultist or member of a secret society. 

Nature produces endless versions of various shapes repetitively. Since everything in Omniverse is spiraling, roundish shapes are profoundly common, including in Renaissance paintings; consider Botticelli’s 1482-86 painting of Venus standing on an angled sea shell, for example. As an artist and former sign maker myself, I have seen countless works that use oval and circular shapes, often outlined with or without shading to supply a three-dimensional effect, all to create an attractive background for the main message. If there is a connection between brain structure and Michelangelo’s painting, we attribute it to “artist’s intuition”—inspired synchronicity delivered by whatever muse generated Michelangelo’s creative flame. Because the pattern of a dissected brain and Michelangelo’s design are insufficiently congruent to be intentional, and considering that Michelangelo was primarily a sculptor and not a painter we are even more inclined to conclude that he drew upon compatible design elements of frescoes painted for the Chapel by Botticelli about twenty years earlier. 

The alleged new “insight” that the pattern is meant to represent the human mind as the creator of a Creator is, we conclude, akin to seeing images in cloud formations or in patterns of wood grain or groupings of rock. Design creativity is not strictly the domain of human artists. Within the human body certain patterns—not of human design, obviously—repeat throughout various bodily organs and systems. Those patterns are found throughout Nature, yet not every oval-shaped object is a secret reference to the female vulva. Study the history of phallus worship to see further examples of ordinary right-brain-function pattern recognition. Sometimes there is a hidden message or otherwise special meaning, but “sometimes,” as Sigmund Freud said it, “a cigar is just a cigar.”
