America is back!
Thanks
to the child-sniffing puppet who is the current incumbent in the White
House and also the Commander in Chief of the US military war machine,
Syria was again bombed by American forces although Uncle Sam has still
to declare war with Syria. US Presidents do come and go but the
objective of dismantling that country to help materialise the
territorial ambitions of one of Syria’s neighbours* as well as to
advance American-favoured and-backed oil and gas geopolitics** remains
unchanged. Since November of last year (i.e. since it became clear to
anybody sufficiently discerning to be able to see through the lies,
deceit and deception peddled by the media that the US elections had been
rigged through various dirty tricks) I have said to anybody I know well
that Joe Biden will be a catastrophe for America. To me, his first month
in office clearly demonstrates that this is going to be the case unless
he is taken out – but then Kamala Harris would only be too glad to
follow the same path; to me, she even seems to have been groomed for
this very purpose. As explained below (see **), this runs counter to
Russia’s interests. So I was not surprised by some of the headlines I
saw when I opened RT.com early this morning:
Tara Reade: As the American hawk bombs overseas, the rot
of corruption and bigotry plucks at its underbelly at home Op-ed
Healing bombs? CNN’s love affair with airstrikes
continues, as network gushes over Biden attack on Syria
Caitlin Johnstone: US bombs Syria and ridiculously claims
self defense Op-ed
US airstrikes ‘strengthen & expand’ terrorist
activities in the region, Iran says
This is who they are: Biden’s Syria strike is a stark
reminder of American Empire that’s back to its old tricks Op-ed
https://web.archive.org/web/20210228032056/https://www.rt.com
Also
because of the more violent rhetoric adopted against Russia now that
Biden is president (e.g. Russia
is ‘existential threat’ to West that NATO must neutralize in order to
prevent ‘power war’, insists bloc’s supreme commander: https://www.rt.com/russia/516535-nato-neutralize-power-war),
I
fear that more American and Russian lives will be lost in locations far
away from their respective homes. Of course, I know that some stand to
benefit from this, namely the manufacturers of weapons of mass murder
and the bankers. From such a perspective, our world seems not only
particularly ugly but also one where evil appears to be the prevailing
force. Yet there is beauty in nature, in art as well as in the good
deeds of some fellow humans. Lastly, I am convinced that even today’s
powerful will have to face reckoning for their deeds…

The straightest route to Europe for Qatari LNG would be via Syria; in
turn, this would allow the US to wean Europe off Russian LNG.
André Breton (the Surrealist) on what
is just, beautiful and true – but misquoted.
In a book about three famous alchemists (‘La fascinante histoire des
maîtres de l'alchimie: Nicolas Flamel, Paracelse, Fulcanelli’), in
the section about the highly enigmatic Fulcanelli (author and alchemist) and
more specifically in the subsection entitled ‘The Percival of the Quest’,
penned by Patrick Rivière (which is on page 391, should you care to know), a
quote in French caught my attention early this month: ‘Aimer le Beau,
rêver le Juste et dire le Vrai’ [‘To love what is beautiful, to dream
what is just and to tell what is true’]. The quote was attributed to André
Breton (1896-1966), who was a leading figure in Surrealism, an artistic and
literary movement which made heavy use of the technique of juxtaposition. As
in my late teenage years I was very fond of some of the Surrealist painters
and I had really enjoyed one of André Breton’s novels bearing a woman’s
first name, i.e. Nadia, I decided to look up the quote online. Using the
book section of a famous search engine via a proxy website (www.zalmos.com) with the following
search string (beau juste dire le vrai" André Breton), I found the
following information: ‘Aimer le Beau et dire le Vrai ». Un seul numéro
sort ... Les premiers poèmes de Breton : « Le Rêve » (septembre 1911) et «
Eden » (avril 1912), y parurent.’ From there, it was simply a matter
of changing my search string – and this on another search engine (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=R%C3%AAver+le+Juste+.+Aimer+le+Beau+et+dire+le+Vrai+%C2%BB+%22Andr%C3%A9+Breton%22&ia=web)
– to find out that the quote had been in fact the sub-title of a literary
magazine that did not go beyond its first issue (published on 19th May
1912). A rarity, with only five copies known to exist, the first and only
issue of ‘Vers l’Idéal’ [‘Towards the Ideal’], sub-titled ‘Rêver le juste, aimer le beau
et dire le vrai.’ [‘To dream what is just, to
love what is beautiful and to tell what is true.’] was auctioned off by the
Paris-based house of Drouot in November of last year – a digitised
reproduction of the front cover is available at https://www.gazette-drouot.com/lots/10827065#
(and more specifically at https://cdn.drouot.com/d/image/lot?size=src&path=32/99721/45.jpg).
To conclude, people end up being misquoted all the time; fortunately, the
Internet makes it so much easier to check quotes attributed to famous
people*, provided, of course, that one has the will or the time to engage in
such (trivial?) pursuits.
* In fact, I would love to put up on this blog
a section solely devoted to misquotes or even to made-up quotes wrongly
attributed to famous people, as is the case with a famous quote
said to have come from Cicero’s pen (‘A nation can survive its fools,
and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within.[...]’)
but which was in fact made up by the American novelist Taylor Caldwell
(1900-1985) in her fictionalised account of Ciceronian times entitled ‘A
Pillar of Iron’ (Garden City, New York, Doubleday, 1965) – this I know
because I went so far as to check her made-up references in the online
catalogues of the Vatican Library.

I need to set aside at least an hour each day for my
writing…
…if I want to be able to share
some of the interesting pieces of information I have gathered since at
least 2014. At the bottom of my
entry listing some of the incredible ‘coincidental occurrences’
between the lives (and deaths) of the US presidents Lincoln and
Kennedy,
I mentioned some of the most outstanding items I came across in 2020 –
for example, the number 11, psychic warfare, mind control, remote
viewing in WWI, predictive programming in the years leading to that
conflict, some of the attempts that were carried out to weigh the soul
over the past 120 years, collective prayers and fasting as a means of
changing the course of events for a country, rasayana (a
purification procedure from Ancient India). However, in 2020, I also
came to find out about the silver chord, the probable validity of the
alchemists’ quest for the so-called Philosopher’s Stone, the importance
of salt in that particular body of knowledge (and also in other forms of
esoteric knowledge), hesychasm (a prayer specific to Orthodox monks that
involves a particular breathing technique), ‘time pockets’ and ‘time
slips’, shamans in Ancient Greece, Ars Notoria (the art of
memory, as expounded by a mediæval grimoire), the Enochian language of
birds, out-of-place artefacts, lustral water and, sadly, anti-human
reproduction and human depopulation technologies – to mention only
these.
So let us hope that I shall be steadfast enough in my resolution. To
help me do so, you can also, dear reader, spare me a prayer (i.e. ‘May
Paul Zanotelli share with us some of the knowledge he has gathered
over the past few years ideally in an entry to be posted every day’.
Repeated once a day over 40 days,
I am sure that this prayer would be particularly effective in helping me
populate this blog with entries on esoterism, the paranormal, religions,
history, contemporary events (especially the coronavirus), inter
alia.
Would it be too far-fetched to infer from this that some
reclassification has been going on?
I came across the following news
headline yesterday evening as I was listening to a broadcast whilst
sieving through a stack of bay leaves. I had already heard similar
claims for the USA and for France a few weeks ago. This specific
news headline pertains to the United Kingdom. You can access it via the
following keyword combination:
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=mailonline+flu+130+low&ia=web
[a query which I have even archived at https://archive.vn/6RgLY;
strangely, search queries on DuckDuckGo cannot be archived at the
Internet Archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20210227082142/https://duckduckgo.com/?q=mailonline+flu+130+low&ia=web].
Inversion of the truth: Boris Johnson
I shall be charitable and refrain from
putting into words here what I think of the current (and it
will never be stressed enough, UNelected)
prime minister of England and Wales. When
I heard an excerpt from his speech detailing his roadmap to
freedom, I could not help but think about Orwellian
double-speak.
You see, I know very well what this puppet stands for and what
kind of agenda he is working on furthering. Recall, for
instance, the dystopian speech he
made at the UN last year. A speech replete with phrases like ‘[...]
some great cloud of data that lours ever more oppressively over
the human race./ A giant dark thundercloud waiting to
burst.’ [https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/pm-speech-to-the-un-general-assembly-24-september-2019]. He probably made this speech to try to
absolve his soul from his participation into this Satanic plan by
revealing in public some of the elements of it – even if this would
seem very strange to anybody who does not know what such operatives
believe in and what their rituals
are.
So I was glad when the following day I came across a headline on
RT.com that showed that the
journalist had had a knee-jerk reaction similar to mine: ‘Boris
Johnson’s cautious Covid plan is not a roadmap to freedom, but a
never-ending path to permanent restrictions on our liberty OP-ED’ [I have not even bothered to read the
article as, I repeat, I know what the plan is and I know that even RT.com
cannot be too forthcoming in their revelations given that otherwise they
would end up being shut off in the so-called West –
however, there are usually some interesting headlines on RT.com,
as can be seen from the front page where I spotted that particular news
headline, which I archived at https://web.archive.org/web/20210224153223/https://www.rt.com/.]

German efficiency (book orders)
I ordered some
second-hand books written in French from Berlin (Germany), from http://medimops.de. And again delivery was
swift: I placed the order on Wednesday 3rd February a little after half
past noon and I found the parcel in the packet compartment of my letter
box today, Monday 8th February.
Other orders placed with
them last year were processed as quickly. If you live within Euroland,
P&P costs are the cheapest I have come across among the dozens and
dozens and dozens of book orders I have placed over the past twenty years.
From Medimops,
I ordered books which mostly do not seem to be held in any Swiss library
(based on the online catalogues of my municipal library, that of the local
cantonal and university libraries plus the one for all Swiss university
libraries, https://www.swissbib.ch).
One of the five books I
bought is entitled ‘Des prodiges et
des hommes’ (On prodigies and humans) by Hélène Renard (Fuchs in
German, Fox in English) because, surprise, surprise, I am interested in
such a subject and in particular I wanted to check a reference in it that
has to do with the Tibetan practice of tummo,
this for an entry whose title might be ‘Bringing the body into subjection,
cold and heat’ and which I have been thinking of writing since April of
last year.
As for new book orders, I
have been placing them for a few years now with https://www.bookdepository.com
– who are well worth of a visit because they do not charge anything for
P&P (in American English: shipping is free) worldwide.
Remember that books are
still great repositories of knowledge, this in spite of all the electronic
means at our disposal.

This is how I broke my 3-day long fast.
On Sunday 10:24pm I broke my fast. I had abstained from food and liquids
from more than 72 hours in the hope that some prayers of mine would be
answered. There is a long tradition of fasting with a view to seeing one’s
prayers fulfilled, this going as far back as Ancient Egypt. Even magicians
have to resort to fasting, with the greater the effects of the operation
being called for, the longer the fast, it would seem.
I broke my fast by
swallowing this precious water I had brought back from my short excursion
to Einsiedeln (http://paulzanotelli.ch/blog/alchemia/paracelsus/paracelsus-quote-on-quintessence.html):
[To enlarge,

Delicious it was; the problem is that the bottle is now near empty and
Einsiedeln is a little far from Lausanne.

You are what you eat!
This is not the secret of
eternal youth, but this lady’s diet and perhaps some other factor (her
genes?) seem to have helped her keep a youthful appearance as well as
a stunning figure given that she was almost 70 years old* when the video below was shot!
After all it makes sense because her fresh (raw),
home-grown vegetables and sprouts must contain far more
vitality-boosting ingredients than the dead and normally
long-refrigerated food that is far too
often part of our diets...

A
reference to some medical practices of the 1930s in the
context of the Paracelsian blood concept and the
transplantation of diseases
I came across
the following excerpt as I was trying to find the German text of
a quote of Paracelsus I am particularly fond of (it has to do
with Paracelsus’s claim that our ability to discern truth is a
form of divine grace). The
passage is from THEOSOPHY,
Vol. 26, No. 5, March, 1938 and
it reads as follows:
The fourth principle in man’s constitution, which
Theosophy names the Kama-Rupa,
Paracelsus calls the Mumia,
“the vehicle through which the Will acts for
effectuating good and evil.” The Mumia
of a living being, he says, is of the nature of the other beings
from whom its vital force is derived. When we eat the flesh of
an animal, we not only take its flesh into our system, but also
attract its Mumia,
which combines with our own passional nature. For this reason we
do not eat the flesh of ferocious animals, as that would
increase our own ferocity. The Mumia
of any creature, according to Paracelsus, is closely connected
with the blood stream. Hence any substance taken into the blood
stream makes a direct magnetic connection between the Mumia
of the person receiving the substance and the Mumia
of the animal or person from whom it was taken.
This throws an interesting light on
the subject of blood-transfusion, vaccination and the various
inoculations now so prevalent. For, as Paracelsus
points out: “The Mumia
coming from the body of a person or animal continues to remain
in sympathetic relationship with the Mumia
contained in such a person, and they act
magnetically upon each other.” This is called the
transplantation of diseases, “and many practices of sorcery are
based upon that fact.”
I wonder whether the unnamed author (most likely a
theosoph or somebody favourable to theosophy) was aware that the
theosoph/antroposoph Rudolf Steiner had voiced an opinion
roughly similar about pharmaceutical drugs some 20 years
earlier.
