My name is Michael Aquino, and I think it's kind of fun to do the impossible; Ask Me Anything.

Thank you so much for doing this. You have sparked a great interest in Setian philosophy for me. From what I have read so far, it seems to be the yin to the yang of more common religions. I look forward to what I have to learn on the subject.

My question is in regards to what you have been calling "stage magic". In college I became fascinated by what is called a 'psy wheel' (a piece of creased paper sitting on a needle to create ~zero friction which one then tries to move with the mind). Though extremely skeptical at first, I did get it to work, initially by using the common technique of cupping the hands around the wheel. But debunkers claimed heat from the hands caused the movements, so I took a step back. I eventually was able to stand about five feet from the wheel and get it to move. You have said the brain cannot function this way, but I have proven (granted only to myself) that humans have the capability to move an object with the mind.

So my question to you is, how is this possible? Is there some explanation other than telekinesis or psychokinesis you can give me that doesn't include the phrase, "the fact that you are delusional"? I promise you, with 100% sincerity, that what I have said and done is true. It just seems to seriously contradict your belief on the capabilities of the brain/mind that you seem extremely certain of. So, given that what I have said is true, what are you thoughts?

You charming devil you... I'd have coffee with you..you are
Just down the road...

I still see no reason you have to lean on one archetype so heavily and not throw the children of constantine a bone. Ah well. To each their own.

Kabbalah and egyptian lore are both derivative of a few basic facts which are well worth knowing.

HEllo. What is your opinion on the evocation/invocation of demons?

Good morning. About 9:30 AM in San Francisco, and my eyeballs are reasonably uncrossed ... Taking a few minutes to check where I left off, and then will be up & replying again.

hi there i have questions ( oh do i have questions) , humans that live underground (great white lodge0 heard of them ? . they work with "others" that's what i will call them , demons ? no not realy but lets not dwell on that right now , remote viewers working for the u.s navy in the 80s seen something they realy wish they never seen . know anything about this ? P.M me if you dont want to talk openly about it , mi5 and the end of the world and their connection to a sex cult in the north of ireland ? know anything about the end of the world brought on by them ? i am interested in global genocide of the human race in whats called a biblical armageddon devised in the 1970s by mi5 and a crusade against freemasons and the illuminati by mi5 , manta design craft designed by satan ? (not a joke) sorry if this is to , maybe you have questions for me ? i might know a thing or two

I have another question I forgot to add.

What are your thoughts on the I Ching, or Book of Changes? Do you find any truths to it?

The same goes for the Human Design system related in many ways to I Ching, just curious on your thoughts if you have heard of them.

Thanks again!

Hi Mr Aquino, what is your take on the Cathy O'Brien & Mark Phillips story that multi-generational child abuse victims were being sold to the military and then mentally tortured in extreme terror centers using methods like simulated (or otherwise) child murder in satanic rituals in an attempt to make compliant programmable assassins/spies with no long term memory or conscience?

It would seem you would have been the most qualified and well positioned go-to guy for this kind of thing. Did you take part in any of these programs?



Also do you think Sirhan Sirhan could have been a programmed assassin?

Thank you.

Hi,

My question...

God, Aliens, The Devil, Angels, Nature, Big Bang, Ghosts, Paralleled worlds, Matrix.. and the like.

What do you believe??

Hi Colonel Aquino,

You know, I managed to lay hands on a copy of LaVey's "Satanic Bible" when I was about 14 years old. I had already digested Wilson's Illuminatus! and Shah's Secret Societies so I was a little better prepared to assess LaVey's book when I got hands on it; even at that tender age.

It was obvious to me, even with that limited amount of experience, that it was a pile of sensationalized crap. The instructions didn't even sound like a good idea to an adolescent boy, so I have to ask: how could it have possibly been attractive to a full grown man with a college education and a career in the military?

I realize that people usually become engaged in those sorts of things for "The Kicks", but you were schooled at Bragg, I would think that your adrenals would crave more rarefied stuff, but no; you went for the Satanism.

Why?

The 1980s was really scary for all occultists,

They sure were, especially in 86-87 when you were running around, declaring the Word of The Aeon of Set, and consecrating yourself "The Second Beast" of The Book of The Law and "the Christian Revelation".

What was going on there? Why were you trying to take over the O.T.O.? Please don't say that you were trying to "preserve" it from the leaders at the time.

I am deeply curious about what happened then. I have always been more interested in the social history of the folks involved in these types of groups, than the 'practices'. I suppose I have one of those faces that people trust; I have been told all sorts of things by all sorts of people, and I have what is likely a more complete picture of what may have occurred at that time than most. I would like to hear your side of it.

TheBaphomet
...remote viewers working for the u.s navy in the 80s seen something they realy wish they never seen . know anything about this ?

Are you speaking of "The Killshot" or "the Wall" that some say prevents them from seeing beyond? I get the idea there are factions in the government(s) that are counting on such an incident for being the termination of all things decent, and for that are not really putting an effort into "doing things right." It seems, though, that we are way past that "due date" they may have expected and now are finding themselves caught short.

Thank you, Dr. Aquino. Your responses are well-detailed and giving us all something to chew on. I don't expect everyone is hearing those things that give their own belief systems comfort as they would like but then we didn't expect your views would please everyone, now did we?

Excellent AMA and I am here for the week's marathon as I was with this thread all day yesterday. Fascinating.

I like the "sugar-coating" MindWar is getting here. I agree we catch more flies that way and it really is likely the best war policy to pursue rather than the traditional rape, pillage, plunder, blood, guts, and violence solutions. Unfortunately it seems our civilian police throughout the country are being sold on the traditional military tactics and becoming increasingly violent and overbearing the way our people are being handled by civil authorities. I don't think MindWar is catching on at home or abroad just yet.

Why [in MindWar] do you prefer to leave the body intact, yet assimilate or manipulate the mind for the purpose of war?

Previous attempted solutions to PhysWar (PW) have been based on mankind's supposed preference for peace, e.g. the League of Nations, the U.N., treaties, etc. These all fail in one way or another, sooner or later, and my conclusion is that they do so because humans are instinctively contesting and combative creatures. So what MW attempts to do is not to try to repress or frustrate this impulse, but to redirect it away from physical violence and destruction, toward solving of the irritant problem itself (which in effect becomes "the enemy").

The PSYCON part of a MW campaign, designed and implemented by the MW Branch, does not "assimilate" anyone's mind. You remain completely yourself. However, as discussed in PSYCON #1 and detailed thereafter, your subconscious thought-processes are actually an electromagnetic machine, which under non-MW circumstances just picks up input haphazardly and randomly.

The MW PSYCONs are intended to identify and select-out the inputs that inspire irrationality and violence - again the illustration of Forbidden Planet's id-monster:

This doesn't give you an "electronic lobotomy"; it just clears the table so that everyone involved in the problem can concentrate on solving it cooperatively and positively. Note too that many of the PSYCONs are "omnidirectional", affecting the MW teams themselves as well as non-team humans. Everybody can be alert, bright, and cooperative together.

This sounds like Disneyesque fantasy, but what's fascinating here is that it's all quite real and possible. All we have to do is "switch it on". Indeed I see a time when we will all look back on pre-MW days and be horrified that humans were blundering around in an uncontrolled EMS soup of haphazard emotional destructive triggers, for no known or intended reason.

And this is the fundamental characteristic of modern PhysWar: that it is random, mindless, and purposeless. It is a spasm that no one can explain [at least until MindWar. It was nailed precisely by George Orwell in 1984 [quoted in MindWar]:

War, it will be seen, accomplishes the necessary destruction, but accomplishes it in a psychologically acceptable way. In principle it would be quite simple to waste the surplus labour of the world by building temples and pyramids, by digging holes and filling them up again, or even by producing vast quantities of goods and then setting fire to them. But this would provide only the economic and not the emotional basis for a hierarchical society. What is concerned here is not the morale of masses, whose attitude is unimportant so long as they are kept steadily at work, but the morale of the Party itself. Even the humblest Party member is expected to be competent, industrious, and even intelligent within narrow limits, but it is also necessary that he should be a credulous and ignorant fanatic whose prevailing moods are fear, hatred, adulation, and orgiastic triumph. In other words it is necessary that he should have the mentality appropriate to a state of war. It does not matter whether the war is actually happening, and, since no decisive victory is possible, it does not matter whether the war is going well or badly. All that is needed is that a state of war should exist.

No longer.

Hello and thanks for taking the time to answer questions.

I would like to ask, do you beleive time travel is possible in the way most people think of a time travel 'machine', or if it is possible, what method will it take? And is it true to say that "once time travel is possible, it is possible everyWHEN"?

Hello Michael,

Thank you so much for your time!

Recently we had another ask me anything guest, David Paulides, who has put a great amount of investigative research into unexplained disappearances in the wilds of North America and now the world. I don't know if you are familiar with these events but many of the cases involve people seemingly disappearing into thin air in close proximity to their friends/relatives. He does eliminate possible accidental death, animals, or foul play specifically in all of these cases however.

David purposefully does not offer any opinion of causality but does present evidence that the Federal Government is aware of the cause of these events and have moved to actively cover them up. Even detailing FBI agents that have exclusively worked on these cases.

FOIA requests are refused or simply not answered in many cases.

Are you aware of these events and if so do you have an opinion as to what the cause could possibly be?

Thank you!

1. Looking at the link you supplied in response to my question. It is over 1200 pages long. What exactly am I looking at? Is the satanic bible or something else?

The Church of Satan is my ebook complete history of that organization. It covers events, concepts, individuals: the whole enchilada. It has a detailed Table of Contents, and as a .pdf is extensively bookmarked so that you can zero in on what interests you. As you can see, it was not a simple thing! On the plus side, you're looking at the "simple" organization. The Temple of Set is horrendously complex, and would never fit into one ebook. The ebook I'm working on by that name, The Temple of Set, is just an introduction and personal perspective; and even that is starting to "overflow"!

2. I have on one occasion talked with a fellow who purported to be a disciple of your church. When asked about its doctrine his reply was that it was not about so much Satan/Lucifer as in the Christian Dogma, but rather the believe that one is indeed their own God. Is this accurate?

"Satan" and "Lucifer" (a Roman designation for the "morning star" aka the planet Venus, later confused with "Satan"), is an intra-Judæo-Christian mythological concept, which we consider a later, fragmentary corruption and approximation of the original Egyptian Set. More bedtime reading if you're feeling masochistic: Black Magic, which discusses both Set and Setian initiation in basic detail. BM is sort of the basic text of the basic part of our literature; I sometimes call it the "Setian Scout Handbook".

3. You said Set exists, can you explain that in a little more detail? I wouldn't even begin to know where to look in the link you have supplied. When I think of Satan/Lucifer/Set(?) Do to my own upbringing I tend to think of the Christian version. Also on a funny side note I seem to remember Set being a God in the Conan universe. If you could give some information on that I would appreciate it. Thanks

Well, this isn't the big snake in the Conan flick. Check back through this thread; I think I've already discussed the "existence" of Set and the other neteru. And again, cf. BM. I know this is a lot of reading, and yes, your head is going to hurt, but these are big questions & concepts, and we've spent a long time nailing them.

One thing that personal initiation doesn't do - can't do if it's genuine - is spoon-feed. This is not a memory or recitation thing. All of this stuff has to click with you. In the Pol Sci courses that I taught at the university, I used to hammer this into the students: "I don't want you to barf back what Aristotle or Hegel or Machiavelli wrote; I want you to think their thoughts with them, to see reality through their eyes. If I can get you there, it doesn't matter what they wrote here or there reflective of it, because you could do the same." I occasionally threw blackboard erasers to intensify the point.

I don't mean this to be disrespectful, but a real question. With all the psyop stuff you did early on in your career, how can we be sure everything that came after was not all some huge psyop scheme? How do we know you haven't moved on to the professional domestic psyop things? I hope I am making it clear what I mean lol, I really need some ZZZzzzzzz

NORAD inform him 'in good faith' that they do not collect and collate CIRVIS UFO reports from miltary and civilian pilots

That's correct. NORTHCOM (in my day USSPACECOM)/NORAD isn't in the business of collecting and sorting reports from other offices, agencies, or the public. It's its own active "eyes and ears" looking up and around. Its entire focus is on "real time" - what's happening right now, and is it something the US/Canada needs to pay attention to or worry about. And this is an enormous job, because, as I think I previously mentioned here, there's an awful lot of stuff, known and unknown, in and above the Earth's atmosphere. So the simple answer to "Has Cheyenne Mountain ever seen UFOs?" is "Every day, all the time." They just have to make constant, often split-second decisions as to whether it's an ICBM, an old piece of space junk falling back, or the Martians headed for L.A. to heat-ray all those freeways.

I remember that in the TV "final episode" to the original Battlestar Galactica, the fleet finally found and arrived at Earth. Unfortunately the Cylons followed them, duh, and the first thing they did was blow Universal Studios to bits. Since this was where BSG was filmed, that sort of ended the series. At least until it got revived with Lt. Castillo in charge and Starbuck becoming Stardoe ...

Hello dr Aquino,

Thank you so much for doing this. I am so hungry to learn about topics you are knowledgable in, I really have so much to say and so many questions to ask but to start I will try to keep it straight forward.

1-in the past year I have had well over a dozen sleep paralysis incidents. I have some family who are into spiritual warfare, from a Christian perspective, and they tell me that these are "visitations". Other friends suggest it has something to do with aliens....I'm now believing both phenomena are one in the same...anyways:

- Do you have any insight on sleep paralysis experiences?

I like the mind wars concept, but I would be afraid that someone would figure out how to turn everyone into totally devoted and completely faithful slaves, in order to set themselves up as gods, que to action the drunken orgies.

The MW program, and the MW PSYCONs, doesn't really work like that. Movies like The Manchurian Candidate aside, control of someone's conscious actions would have to take place at the 5%-conscious level, and you'd basically be talking hypnotism. And that is a very short-term mechanism. We use it all the time in stage magic, because it flows right into redirection of attention, perception suggestibility ["What you're looking at is X"], and all that. You can really jerk people around a lot when they're in a passive mood, which they are much of the time. Here, show you what I mean: Try this.

Not only do the MW PSYCONs not "mind-control" you; they actually do just the opposite. They are intended to clear the wreckage and junk out of your brain-attic so that you can think with maximum clarity and alertness. They dial up your smart-meter. The whole idea is solving of the common problem, and you can't to that if everyone's sitting around with his thumb up his/her ass. "Throwing blackboard erasers" again!

These days I am wrapped around the concept that most of the matter in the world is in a plasma state. Could electricity be plasma, and what we think of force and gravity simply effects of plasma structures? Have you ever read anything on the concept of Plasma life forms? I imagine you have. Any thoughts on this concept?

Sure, but that so we're clear on the concept, let's first back up a bit:

A simple atom is composed of a positively-charged proton nucleus and a negatively-charged, orbiting electron. A question of symmetry immediately arises: Why are all protons positive and all electrons negative? Why shouldn’t there be some atoms whose particle charges are reversed?

Scientists began to get somewhere with this little thorn in 1932, when the first positively-charged electron (or “positron”) was experimentally produced. A positron has precisely the same mass and spin as an electron, but its charge is +1 instead of -1. For laboratory production of positrons it is necessary to use gamma radiation of extremely short wavelength; both one electron and one positron are simultaneously created from zero mass through energy conversion. To put it another way: The gamma radiation consists of non-mass photons. Sufficient energy must be released from these photons to equal the mass of one electron and one positron.

Further success was achieved in Berkeley, California in 1955, when a highly-energized (6.2 billion electron volts) proton beam was directed at a sheet of copper. The result: creation once more of two particles - this time a proton and an antiproton - from zero mass. As is also the case with electrons and positrons, the collision of a proton and an antiproton would instantaneously annihilate both of them.

The conjunction of a proton and an electron produces an atom. In theory - though not yet accomplished in the laboratory - the conjunction of an antiproton and a positron produces an antiatom, hence antimatter. The reason that antimatter has not been artificially produced hinges upon the difficulty of keeping it separated from material objects in the process. Should an object of antimatter be brought into contact with an object of matter, the result would be an explosion releasing many hundreds of times as much energy as a hydrogen bomb of the same weight. Kept apart from contact with matter, however, antimatter could produce molecules, elements, planets, and galaxies quite as easily as its material counterpart. These would be quite real in that they would possess physical mass; an antimatter universe, star, or planet would - from a distance - appear indistinguishable from a similar product of matter.

For the formula [0 = +1 -1] to hold true, half the total mass in the entire cosmos must consist of matter, and the other half must be composed of antimatter. Admittedly this must remain speculation for the present, but there are valid probabilities for the assumption.

If this is in fact the case, it is so on a fairly large scale. The planet Earth, obviously, is uniformly matter. So is the Moon, or Neil Armstrong’s giant step would also have been his last [had his spaceship survived the touchdown]! Our Sun also consists of matter, for reasons that will require even more technical explanation. But, before proceeding, it is necessary to introduce yet another term: plasma.

A common gas (such as air) is made up of molecules which are electrically neutral. By subjecting the gas to electrical discharge, intense heat, X-rays, or ultraviolet light, electrons are torn loose from the molecules via impact by high-energy photon rays. This leaves the remainder of the molecule - called an ion - positively charged. Continued ionization of the gas would break down the molecular forms into atoms - and thence into subatomic particles. A gas may become either totally or partially ionized, depending upon the degree of disruption that occurs. An ionized gas is called a plasma. It is known that the stars are composed of plasma which is totally ionized in the interior and only partially ionized in the outer and surface layers [due to the decreasing temperatures towards the outer parts of the star].

Interstellar space - the area between the stars of a single galaxy - is not empty. It is filled with an extremely thin, rarified plasma. “Thin” means just that; there is only about one atom per cubic centimeter. Intergalactic space also consists of plasma, but at an even lower density of 10-6 atoms/cc. Source of the plasma is normally the closest star/galactic cluster, which implies that the atoms and ions of the plasma would bear the electrical charge characteristics of that star/galactic cluster.

If there are in fact stars or galaxies of antimatter, it follows that there should be a little activity when the antimatter plasma encounters the material plasma from the nearest material star/galaxy [i.e. there would be annihilation and the emission of radiation]. Because the plasma is so rarified, however, such annihilation would take place at such a low level as to be invisible to our present instruments. Hence we shall have to wait awhile to run this particular test. Obviously it would be most convenient were an antimatter star to collide with a material brother - as there would then be a bang that would be quite visible indeed - but this isn’t likely to happen inasmuch as the stars and galaxies are all receding from one another.

For the moment, then, the intergalactic or interstellar existence of antimatter cannot be conclusively proved or disproved. According to inductive logic, there is a stronger case for its presence than for its absence. Until we possess instruments which can measure the radiation differential of interstellar or intergalactic plasma, however, we cannot resort to deductive confirmation. For now, though, assume that one-half the mass of the universe is in fact composed of antimatter.

Hi,
Is there an italian traduction of your book MindWar?

Thank you.

Edit: Or anyway is it planned to come out?

reply to post by maquino


I think you could substitute magnetic flux's/waves, with plus or minus charge for the electron/proton idea, or matter/anti matter and get a similiar result. It reminds me of something in a video by Jason Verbelli, not sure if it was his one on sonoluminescence/cavitiation, or one of his other related ones.

But he showed a clip frm a laboratory experiment with two projectors firing opposite forces at each other, and where they met in the middle, a mini galaxy seemed to be created. It was really interesting, as if we're right in the middle ground where the good equal and progressing realms/dimensions meet with the winterlands, ie. + and - meet, the testing ground.

But then if you've read something on the physicist David Bohm's work studying atoms, he saw the plasmic type screen connecting everything, and so surmised holographic universe.
