Symbols of the Unconscious 3: The Torch

An Eternal Flame

The symbol of the torch or the flame, is in the consciousness again with the Olympics taking place in London. But what exactly does the flame symbolise?

It can be seen as representing the possession of knowledge, the illumination of the person who holds the torch. We go back in time to the myth of Prometheus who handed humanity the knowledge of creating fire. The torch represents that knowledge.

After John F Kennedy was assassinated, an obelisk with a flame on top was erected on the Dealey Plaza. At Arlington Cemetery, over Kennedy's grave, an eternal flame was lit, which still burns to this day.

After Princess Diana was assassinated, a golden flame was erected over the Pont de L'Alma tunnel where she died.

At ground zero of the World Trade Centre after the mass murder of 9/11 took place, an 'eternal flame' was lit.

In Rockefeller Center, the Rockefellers erected a huge golden statue of Prometheus holding the lit torch. This symbol is found on the DIA seal, Indiana's seal, the American dime, CBN, the National Front, and more.

The Statue of Liberty has Queen Semiramis or Isis depending upon your taste, holding aloft the torch. This same symbol is the Columbia pictures and records logo.

Some people consider this to be symbolic of Lucifer, the light bearer or light bringer. They then go into a funk of apoplexy, foaming at the mouth about brimstone and hellfire, and the devil and satan and so on. But to listen to these Christians and be suckered into their phony morality, is to close our eyes to what is happening. There is no dichotomy between Christians and Satanists. Why? Because Christianity is a slave religion made by the same people who are the so-called Satanists.

A false dichotomy was created over the course of history in order to victimise the peasant masses and force them to accept Catholicism and to bow down to their superiors. It was designed to destroy their pagan roots for the very reason that the Church wanted to have absolute control over the population: mentally, spiritually and physically. Much in the same way the current ruling elite are trying to do this now by pushing for a microchipped and barcoded population. Because such technology was not at their disposal in the past, they needed to create a climate of fear, one that sank deep into the psyche of the common man, so he would even censor his thoughts. If you can't even think about rebelling then you are never going to rebel. That was the purpose then and is now.

So the concept of Lucifer was in reality taken from the pagan religion of the masses and perverted by the Catholic Church. Rather than being the bringer of light, which is a good thing, Lucifer became an evil figure opposed to God. Lucifer was Satan, the arrogant creature, the fallen angel, expelled from heaven.

Considering that Lucifer is said to stand for knowledge, then the lesson is quite clear: the masses must not seek intelligence, or the facts, because these are now evil and heretical. The ignorant masses must just 'believe' and have 'faith'. The fairy tale of the tree of knowledge is linked to this anti-intelligence pushed by the Catholic Church: Adam and Eve fell from grace because they questioned 'God's' will and became intelligent and capable of thinking from themselves.

When you look at it, the whole concept of Catholicism and all brands of Christianity are purely the manner in which the ruling class over the centuries strove to justify their oppression of the masses and also to control any dissent. The more stupid and more suggestible a person is makes it far easier for a ruling elite to control that person's impulses. If you have your own mind, your own spirituality, your own capacity for logic and action, you are a threat to the ruling elite.

The flame symbolises the ruling elite's intelligence and knowledge, at the expense of the unenlightened masses. They have made it this way. They have perverted the religions of the masses. They have perverted the myths of humanity. Instead of being knowledge for everyone, they have murdered, maimed, pillaged and raped their way through history, suppressing this knowledge, and keeping it locked away for themselves. It is a sickly self-indulgence going on for far, far, far too long.

When they place their eternal flame and torch symbols everywhere, they are saying to you: 'Behold our intelligence! You are so stupid you do not even realise! More to the point you are too stupid to ever realise!' It is a shout of triumph. It is the glorying in your supreme ignorance.

To place the eternal flames over President Kennedy's grave and Princess Diana's death spot, is for the ruling elite to say: 'Their deaths were orchestrated by us.' The symbol is of their own illumination against our darkness.

By turning Lucifer, the light bearer, the illuminated one, into a so-called enemy of humanity, into an evil one, is their greatest triumph. Because, by doing so has made intelligent, but God-fearing people, shy away from seeking the truth, the light of illumination.

Think about it: the ruling elite see themselves as enlightened, illuminated. Why do we not strive to become enlightened and illuminated? Why are we satisfied to be kept in the dark? Why are we not pushing for the truth for all of humanity?

Because the symbol is so deeply ingrained in our psyches.

Lucifer is symbolic of intelligence. It is not an evil creature, it is not this fraudulent creation of the Catholic Church, known as the 'devil'. The pagan god Pan is what the Catholic Church saw as their enemy because it was the people's god and they did not believe in the myth of Christ and the desert God 'Yahweh'. Therefore, the Church warped Pan into the 'devil', the anti-christ, the scourge of all humanity. This was done in a typical, over the top manner by the power-obsessed Church hierarchy.
The illuminati revered 'Lucifer' and the anti-new world order protesters start channeling their thoughts into Christianity. They are of course wrong. Lucifer just stands for knowledge, it is symbolic of the thirst for knowledge and their is nothing 'evil' about searching for knowledge. It is bringing things to light. The light of the world. To be informed is a good thing because it means you can make your own choices and you can reject the ruling class. If you want.

That is what the symbol of the eternal flame and the torch is really about. Until you search you will not find.

Why the Occupy Movement is Moribund

V.I Lenin founded the Soviet Union

       Who really speaks for you? 

The Queen is still the absolute dictator in Great Britain

Politics is concentrated economics. That is all there is to it. Media circus, whores out trying to sell you their specific brand of snake oil for your 'vote', local issues, and all of the other garbage that spews from the leprous lips of ghastly scum MPs is illusion. When you learn that the world becomes clearer to understand. 

Right now there is a continuation from the anti-Chinese, Sinophobic, anti-communist liberal Seattle movement going on. It is the self-parodic mutant calling itself: the Occupy Movement. Lack of belief in the social power of the working class, the proletariat, leads to self-disgust, self-hatred and decades of despair. And why? Because to give up on the revolutionary potential of the working class is to give up on a future for humanity. It is to put the goals of a rapacious, vile, anti-human ruling class above your very own existence. The rulers do not believe in you and they do not love you. They despise you. You are the filth, the excrement, the disease, the virus, the potential threat to their megalomaniac empire of decay. Just take a look around you. 

The economy is not going to get any better. That is it. The fight for them is over. They want the world economy to fail because they own the system. Under the capitalist mode of production, which is what we exist under, whether you want to acknowledge it or not, there are only two things that hold power: 

1. Capital

2. Labour Power

Nothing else has any meaning beyond these two things. Profit comes through exploitation of your labour power, again, whether you like it or not. You are paid less for your labour power than it is worth, because the ruling class own the system that you are forced to work for. The dialectic is formed because the goals of capital are opposed to the goals of labour power. If you are a capitalist you want to increase your profit at all costs. You are not producing or providing services to make a loss or for the good of humanity, you are doing so in order to make yourself a profit. You can only continue to make a profit by slashing wages which you pay for in exchange for your worker's labour power. Conversely if you want to make a 'living' and get yourself a pay rise then the only way you will do that is if you use your own labour power to your advantage by showing the capitalist that if you withdraw your labour power they will lose the ability to make profits. 

The two forces can never and will never be reconciled due to the necessity of capitalist competition which will either cause the ruination of the working class or the ruling class. The middle class is purely an historical anomaly, it has no independent social base and thus can only defend one of the two prevailing classes: the capitalist class or the working class. That is all there is to it.

If you work on the assumption that there is no alternative to capitalism and just want to make it 'fairer' then you might as well give your brain away to scientific research on cretinism in the work force because it is never ever going to happen. Ask yourself: if a murderer has kidnapped you in order to kill you and they have no empathy and hence no way you can reason with them would you try to make them see reason and be fairer to you? Or would you do whatever you could to stop them having power over you and escape? 

Similarly when you see the Occupy Movement and other liberals being touted as 'revolutionary' you have to ask yourself: what is their end goal? Because if you set an end goal then you need to work out a way to achieve it. If their end goal is just to sit in tents in the freezing cold and get in front of St Pauls Cathedral and Wall Street and so on, then it is the most pointless and self-indulgent thing since the dinosaur rock of the 1970s. It wastes the general anger and passion for change that exists throughout society and merely channels this into nothing. 

One thing that is ridiculous is that many people try to sound radical and revolutionary and they can tell you all of the evil deeds that the ruling class does and so forth, but if you ask them for a solution to it they do not have one. They just say: 'pressure the government', 'make trade fair', 'we need true capitalism' and other such complete crap. My favourite one is from David Icke who actually wants us all to believe that by doing nothing and just loving the ruling class we will defeat them. We don't need to fight them it must all be a peaceful protest to win their hearts and minds. What a rebel. What a threat to the powers that be. They must be laughing their asses off at his insanity.

Listen: if you really think that the capitalist class is just going to see the error in their ways and hand over the reins of power you must be out of your mind. They have everything invested in this system and do not ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, want to see it taken away from them, regardless of how many wars they start, people they kill through starvation, viruses, conflicts and so on. Capital - Profit- Money. That is all they care about. How they get this is irrelevant to them. Who they stand upon and grind into the dirt is irrelevant to them. They will never ever change their mindset because it is part of the very fabric of the material conditions that they live on. 

To think that you can take on the capitalist class who own the legal system, the military, the police, the transport system, the banks, the media, the health care system, and the education system, without fighting them with everything you have got, is total insanity. It is like trying to convince a bunch of merciless killers armed to the teeth with guns not to take your money because you have put a flower in their guns. The only possible outcome will be an absolute massacre. 

The choice is very simple but cognitive dissonance will stop a lot of people making it correctly. They will be horrified by even the mention of the word 'communism' because of decades of anti-communist propaganda from the capitalist press. To see how indoctrinated we are in the capitalist countries is to see how the majority of the population do not even realise that their own media is just propaganda. 'Ah, but those evil North Koreans are really terrible, and they are all brainwashed because they cried about the death of their sick, perverted tyrant Kim Jong Il. He lived a lavish lifestyle whilst the rest of the population lived in poverty.'

Too true. 

But scroll back a few years to 1997 when a overly privileged member of the Royal Family, called Princess Diana died in a car crash orchestrated by MI5. What did the majority of our nation do? Cried and held candle lit vigils about her death. This is the very same woman who spent her entire life in privilege whilst a vast majority of the population lived in poverty. The only reason she was allowed to do so was because she was a member of the aristocracy who are paid for by us, the tax payers. 

But it's different you see, because she was a saint, like mother Teresa. She brought the land mine issue to the attention of a lot of people you know? Funnily enough the people in the countries which have been brutally devastated by the imperialist countries in the Anglo-American coalition, know all about land mine issues. It is purely the fault of our capitalist propaganda that stops the average person in this country from knowing about it. We don't need an overpaid, worthless piece of scum royale with celebrity status to tell us about it. If we really had a free press we would know about it already. But we don't so we are no better off than living in North Korea or China. 

The hypocrisy and lies are clear for all to see but most people decide not to do so because they want to advance their 'career' and they want to be blind to what is happening in the world. Too bad. What is true is true regardless of whether you can be bothered to look at it or not. 

See the illusion for what it is and make your own decisions.
