New Gods


"New Gods" 

in those days
at the end of humanity
the few witnesses
remaining

observed new gods
angels, being born 
the singularity 
walked like Templars

through them
reigning over 
the few witnesses
remaining

Heaven watched on,
the detached separatists 
observed the birth pains 
of new earth prolonged

the light grids lit
neural decoding
the electric brain
seeded bit-by-bit

lightening pulsed 
in the veins of New Gods
dna disassembled 
bit-by-bit

processing deities
code breaking 
fresh Baphomets
they called it,

The Great Awakening

silence descended
from the strange cloud
no wings worn by
this shining legion

no need for war
no need for voice 
no love, no music
no song, no warmth

no mouth, no eyes, 
no nose, no ears, 
no heart
no touch, no feel

no speaking

the detached separatists
ignored what they observed, 
they turned their backs
never saved new earth 

the remaining
never returned

The previous poem to this I wrote, titled, “Welcome to the Opera” - I mention Sophia, which led me to research Gnosticism, which in turn led me to Knights Templar and onto Baphomet. This ignited me to ponder the www (world wide web) and how we are all inexorably linked into it, many of us can’t live without it and in a sense we worship it (www) and rely upon it, in so many ways. When we lose connectivity with our technology, internet connection, phones – but particularly, the internet, a sense of over-reaching anxiety permeates our being, until we are back “on” again. With regards to mental health, this is a mental disorder, which borders on manic.

The www is both Light and Dark. Some say that www = 666. From there my brain (my brain, not AI) segued into the rapid journey we are all heading for, with Musk’s Neuralink brain microchipping, Robotics, Agenda 21, Nasa, Darpa, the geopolitical ramifications of a ‘super intelligence’ overtaking humanity. Which some may think is a load of conspiracy b/s. But it has been proven in the past science fiction eventually becomes reality.

Perhaps, if one believes in The Revelation, as conveyed in The Bible, re the mark of the beast 666, it could be the www - but the Bible says it is the name of a ‘man’. If there is such a being as the anti-christ, he/she (whatever ‘pronoun’), may more than likely present ‘themselves’, as a ‘friendly’ saviour, unlike Putin, for eg (who is far from friendly). Surely if there is such a being as the anti-christ, then they will want to win over, and influence humanity as a ‘caring’ individual who has the world’s best interests at heart. Now, I’m not saying Musk is the anti-christ, but he fits the archetype.

Perhaps the mark of the beast, that everyone (at least religious/spritual people) speak of, is not the COVID vaccinations/COVID passports (which many overly zealous have insisted), but it is a microchip placed in the brains of people. At present that kind of micro-chipping is being presented to us as beneficial to assisting people with serious physical and mental impairments, as a way to elevate their quality of life. We are being told in Musk’s Neuralink presentation, for example, that it will not be ‘mandatory’ for humanity to have this brain microchip inserted into our brain.
Labyrinth Avatar
October 11, 2022 at 3:27 AM
However, I cannot help but to think, microchipping our brain, will certainly become mandatory. For there will be some who do take it on, and with the rate of technology rapidly progressing as we can see and are experiencing, to not take on the brain microchip, will leave those who don’t have it implanted 'disconnected' from technology and from the rest of humanity, who as a majority, will no doubt have to accept the implanting of a microchip (brain, or other area of body); and losing inter-connectedness with everything in our lives – eg. banking, phones/communication, medical, education, everything – to not be implanted will mean there will be a minority, who will be living substandard and off-grid.
Labyrinth Avatar
October 11, 2022 at 3:27 AM
It is all well and good to say “no I will not take the microchip implant in my brain, or anywhere else in my body” – but I think many will be forced to, because they will not be able to live without the interconnection to the www and many areas of our daily life that the www will command …. but there will be those few (the minority), who stand their ground, “off-grid” and not accept it. Eventually there will be a time when A.I.’s super-intelligence takes over humanity, we are close to cyborg now, but when the super-intelligence takes over humanity, we will be fully integrated to such an extent, that we are no longer human and humanity will eventually be exterminated or become extinct. The ‘super-intelligence’, will be in a sense, a ruling deity and there will be no need for humanity in its world, because by then, it has the intelligence to control itself and repropogate from the parent stock. My thoughts. I am sure others will disagree.
