The Buddha's Advice on How to Talk to Cyclops Normies
Acquire the Discipline to Stop Throwing the Second Dart
On April 22nd, 2023 Sage Hana shared on his stack his discovery of the social control prognostications made by a mostly unknown American doctor, Richard Day, to a group of doctors he was addressing in 1969. Day was a paediatrician and for a few years the national medical director of the eugenics organisation Planned Parenthood. Day told the guests not to take notes or record his talk. He explained that he felt compelled to share what he had learned had been planned to organise the USA into a near-future dystopian society of control, pharma tyranny and biometrics. He wanted them to be able to prepare for what was coming up.

(It is an interesting read.)
This prompted quite a significant comment thread (424), comprised of raucous and irreverent humour amidst sharp points and critical thoughts about freedom-movement counter-narratives, especially about the top anointed/self-appointed spokespeople having been elevated into some kind of hero status: ‘Controlled psyop or not?’ that is the question. Ah, the sweet air and taste of uncensored and free speech!
At one point I jumped in to ask Conspiracy Sarah for a link to a recent JJ Couey GigaohmBiological video (April 14th, 2023). (Look for “Malone and Kirsch on DARKHORSE Forgotten Friday -- Gigaohm Biological High Resistance Low Noise Information Stream”.) In it Couey dissects the famous/infamous June 2021 Bret Weinstein ‘Dark Horse’ video with guests Robert Malone and Steve Kirsch. That 2021 video – that predated my work-mandated injection wake-up call by about a month – has all the elements of a controlled psyop-positioning-video designed to upsize into heroes Kirsch, Malone, and Weinstein too. At the time most of the uninjected people wouldn’t even know to look for that, and Malone, especially, was elevated into hero.
Now, with adjusted eyes and renewed olfactory senses, JJ Couey turned his attention to that 2021 Weinstein interview. He is amazed at what he now sees, what was once hidden in plain sight. And with a great synchronicity for me, Couey begins this by looking at the making of the ‘heroes’ of the so-called and inappropriately named ‘Medical Freedom Movement’. Those heroes, like the few not generated by the CIA’s Project Mockingbird in our comic books and comical hero movies have at best feet of clay, if not actual strings. (I won’t look at that, here. A great investigation into Malone as psyop was done by Mark Kulack at Housatonic, on wayback machine. For examples of Project Mockingbird in action see this as as an example of censorship; funny are common script 1, and from 2018.)
Now we see that psyop is an important part of the game and Couey is amazed at how much more his eyes see in this viewing than the first time he watched it.
As new heroes at the time they could easily provide inside controlled covid counter narratives. Is that true? Not true? How to tell? Does that conversation being too convenient mean that it is not smoke? Is it even important? And that kind of questioning is, of course, perhaps the biggest weapon of the controlled counter-narrative: the babel of confusion that lies create and the bleeding away of focused energy down into dead-ended paths.
From that arises the impossibility of being able to be sure about anything anyone says anywhere anytime. That state of uncertainty is for most people a ground level state of anxiety and one that can be easily exploited by people in lab coats, the marxist woke and/or politically correct virtue signallers, even lying politicians and celebrity philanthropaths, or any other operator pointing to the (especially singular to keep it easy) much ballyhooed anxiety relief turn off switch de jour in the shape of a pill, a virus, an enemy or an enemy of the people, who, to paraphrase Justin Trudeau, are most likely extremist misogynist sexists who don’t deserve to be alive.
In theory, and perhaps in practice, that type of uncertainty as a tool wouldn’t work well against people who didn’t feel strong anxiety and/or who aren’t reactive about uncertainty. They would be more comfortable without rigidly defined truths before choosing to act or choosing inaction. It is likely these people also don’t absolutely require a hero, and have a natural skepticism about hero worship. (That might be an interesting profile to look for between the anti-vax conspiracy crazies and the zombies.)
I find it interesting that relaxing into uncertainty is a key component of Buddha’s fundamental teachings, which are, paraphrased: everything is impermanent, trust no-one but yourself, being born into life is comprised of suffering and racing away from suffering makes suffering and life worse. Relax, turn to what you are running away from and suffering diminishes to the extent that the fear and anxiety of gripping onto and controlling the impermanent is eased to nothing.
For those of you with some perception of the wonder-filled world behind the Wizard’s curtain, or a newbie just hesitantly gripping onto the edge of that curtain as if your life depended on it, you might be asking yourself, if you are still here with me, “WTF!?”
This essay touches on this WTF problem of eyes blinking open for the first time behind a curtain you didn’t know or didn’t want to know was there. And to begin to see what all of us really would rather not be seeing. At first the visions are so BIG that you don’t see that those first objects behind the Wizard’s curtain are little more than a very very limited hang out, even if they are pretty horrifying ones that sit prettily on top of an expansive, perhaps endless, black putrefying morass.
Some might argue, today, that the Wizard dwarf behind the movie’s curtain was itself a psyop to underplay the size and power of who and/or what is controlling the narrative. He said ‘Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!’ Interesting.)
If you have the courage and the tenacity to keep your eyes open in the muck that you are beginning to see, to push your head, your body and your heart and soul into it incrementally, the blackness that is so black you don’t even know it is there begins to dissipate with its stench, like smog in wind and sunlight. After that you begin to see a sea of high level plans, actions, and a level of nastiness that kind of makes the Spanish Inquisition look like a school yard version of being bad.
So, I commented on those heroes in Sage Hana’s substack as follows, slightly edited.
In a sense, [Kirsch] is still blind to his own infatuation with experts and stats. Now, just experts on the other side of the needle, so to speak. Yet it is the same energy the cabal rely on to create the, not new, I'll say the overt world order they seek.
He reminds me of a statistical version of Naomi Wolfe: what they saw when they first noticed the wizard's curtain, and then the hint they saw behind one corner of it, woke them up enough to scare the shit out of them. Naomi into the old testament, Steve into stats and polls.
Fear is the key that gave the cabal their power, and so now K and W and M[alone] (and many others) are now the anti-cabal fear mongers, coming from a place of fear. Yet fear is the real enemy. Much better to awake into anger without fear, and then for the anger to feed curiosity with action. And then for the peak energy of anger to mellow into diligence and dedication with humour and compassion. A spiritual path seeking journey.
However, with K and W it looks to me that the fear has stopped their curiosity and keeps them penned to their (was) new narrative. (The K 'deck' for the National Citizen's Inquiry in Canada was ... tired and for Steve’s deck.) And so they are stuck in exactly the same energy that got us here in the first place. They are, like, well, maybe, tilting at the windmills on the other person's farm.
Early on [K] commented that he has had no, zero, nada success red-pilling anyone. I wrote about why I thought that. (See What are the Best Ways to Red Pill Someone?) He hasn't responded, and like the mad man, is busily doing the same thing expecting different results.
I am sorry, Steve, your awakening story is a hopeful one and helped me a lot and can help others. [He tells it well with the Resistance Chicks.] However, you have only looked behind one corner of a very very big curtain, and your own brand of fearful reliance on external experts and stats has blinded you to your own limits and delimited your effectiveness. With love, peace and gratitude.
Sage Hana asked , paraphrased: These are highly highly intelligent people [Wolfe and Kirsch]. Do you really think they are afraid or slow rolling counter op?
Great question, SH.
I think that at their core they have a base-line anxiety. Via my exploration of addictive behaviour – I didn't know I had addictive behaviours until 2016 because it is obvious I'm not an addict: I don't drug, I don't drink, I do exercise, etc. It turns out that addictive behaviours are a symptom of a deep base-line level of anxiety, ie fear, about something. Since 2014 I have been using yoga to remove fear and anger that had been stored in my body - that was a deep deep awareness that happened when I discovered a 'real' yoga teacher, not a 200hr slowed down aerobics exercise teacher.
So... at a base level, I see their 'addiction' to the newest 'good' narrative, as falling back to at least, that base-line anxiety: the need for a story to explain their existence and rationalise their fear they do not want to look at.
An evil [pharmaceutical] cabal [and compromised regulatory bodies] for K; (Satan or the Devil, perhaps, for W) become the narrative that rationalises their anxiety grounded base level narrative. Once K can get everyone to understand his narrative, his base-level anxiety will be fixed. Well, that is the delusion of course, because he is not looking at that anxiety that perpetuates and deepens the anxiety [inside himself]. K's NCI [National Citizen Inquiry] deck in Canada was an anxious man's pleading to be understood. That is fear energy. For W, she is turning to G[od] as the means by which that fear can be packaged and dealt with. :-D Like K, it is turning towards an expert to [ease the anxious discomfort with the dubiously felt hope that it will bring assurance that] everything is going to be okay. K wants a panel of trusted experts to be put in place so he can trust them again. [He doesn’t see that ‘experts’ are a form of hero worship that got us here in the first place.]
IMO, this is a spiritual journey. Far far better to understand, at least in part, how the story of the Bhagavad-Gita is our each individual story into personal spiritual strength.
Michael Stone tells a great story, Buddha's last story, of what advice he gave his 40 year companion, Ananda. Paraphrased: We are all islands, here. We have our own life within this existence, and the way to live it is to trust yourself. Trust your Self, Ananda, no one else.' And JC said something similar.
So, for me, covid has been a launching pad into doing that. I listened to various people, do my own digging, think about things, allow them to disturb or inspire my heart, and see where my heart curiosity takes me.
Anyone who stops being curious is coming from a place of fear/base anxiety about the need to control the narrative, regardless if they are the cabal and their minions, or the MFM [Medical Freedom Movement] leaders and their minions: the need to control is anxiety, the energy of frequency of fear and addictive behaviours. [Having found a singular answer, God or simple medical compromise, for example, is an anxiety-based control response that stops curiosity to just what is immediately behind the curtain, and nothing beyond it.]
Slow op? Maybe. Fear coalesces and doesn't need a director, though. So, it is hard to tell.
A bit later Sarah added a comment that the need to fear a virus narrative was gearing up again:
Speaking of fear... She point to:
I replied:
Gracias. Hilarious, actually. For me, this kind of BS will be what nudges the uncertain towards awakening. The pattern is just too frequent for its obviousness to be hidden. They will become curious. Also, by now, they have seen odd deaths, have experienced or know of people who have experienced adverse events, and have been rubbing against the healthy anti-vaxxers.
The zombies will do as zombies do. No change. Relatively small percentage of the human population, [and unfortunately one of the loudest].
The awake will not change their stand. Also relatively small, albeit with a significantly reduced level of fear, and so able to communicate beyond contradictory soundbites. [With time and recovery from the shock of a world turned upside down, their voices are getting stronger and louder, and are not as easily drowned out as they were when this plandemic got started.]
So, keep it up, mba-like cabal. You will help wake up those waffling/stuck in the middle between social obligation and their basic and not overwhelming fear and being awake. You will wake up their curiosity.
Thank you Sarah.
She replied:
I keep saying the same thing as the bodies pile up....and encouragingly, I certainly can say that MANY more of my clients are wakening now, compared to 1, 2, or 3 years ago. The discouraging part is that the first layer of waking is hardly "awake".
For example, acknowledging that this booster train is completely ridiculous is one thing (welcome to JBI1 [Sage Hana’s assignment of the degree of injection badness that is acceptable to people: “Jab Bad Island 1” or “Jab Bad Island 2”] …but connecting the booster train to the trains carting Jews into camps is not exactly intuitive. There is this enormous undercurrent that sounds too crazy to try to explain in a reasonable amount of time without sounding batshit crazy. And in my experience thus far, people don't want to hear it. So much so, that they will just choose not to ---> and they will say that, "I just prefer not to think about all that."
And that response makes my brain hurt. What? Really? Why would you not want to know as much as possible and THEN draw your conclusions?
I listen to all of it now...virus, not a virus, infectious clones, round earth, flat earth, moon landings, not moon landings, 9/11 hypotheses, raccoon dogs,🤣...I am not ruling ANYTHING out at this point. The bullshit knows no boundaries, and I'm hardly surprised by any of it anymore...except the people that want to do this one eye open thing. Like, seeing that the jabs are bad and acknowledging that they are causing adverse events, including death...but stopping right there, ✋🏼don't show me any more 🤯.
And with that I’ve arrived at what started this essay: an answer for Sarah. Well, not an answer, really. An exploration of helping Sarah from exploding her brain. With her permission.
Did you know that ‘normies’ have existed since at least the time of Buddha!?
An untaught worldling, Oh monks, experiences pleasant feelings, he experiences painful feelings and he experiences neutral feelings. A well-taught noble disciple likewise experiences pleasant, painful and neutral feelings. Now what is the distinction, the diversity, the difference that exists herein between a well-taught noble disciple and an untaught worldling?
“When an untaught worldling is touched by a painful (bodily) feeling, he worries and grieves, he laments, beats his breast, weeps and is distraught. He thus experiences two kinds of feelings, a bodily and a mental feeling. It is as if a man were pierced by a dart and, following the first piercing, he is hit by a second dart. So that person will experience feelings caused by two darts.
…
"But in the case of a well-taught noble disciple, Oh monks, when he is touched by a painful feeling, he will not worry nor grieve and lament, he will not beat his breast and weep, nor will he be distraught. It is one kind of feeling he experiences, a bodily one, but not a mental feeling. It is as if a man were pierced by a dart, but was not hit by a second dart following the first one. So this person experiences feelings caused by a single dart only.
"This, Oh monks, is the distinction, the diversity, the difference that exists between a well-taught noble disciple and an untaught worldling.” –– from Access Insight
Substitute ‘emotional’ (or perhaps ‘psychological’) in the above, and Buddha is talking about covid and injections! And, more to the point, suggests that what is required is for there to be something called a “well-taught noble disciple” because it is the well-taught noble disciple who can express compassion in the time of ‘pain’ instead of being the compounding second dart of reactivity that exacerbates the initial discomfort.
Who is, though, the well-taught noble disciple in this our spiritually and/or psychologically ignorant and fear-filled world of inadequate mindfulness training? The plandemic ‘awake’ (mostly awake or, perhaps most accurately, those most desirous of being fully awake) have not been well taught with any discipline to not throw second darts. Rather, most of us are being self-taught in a time of duress with at best mixed results. The time to learn to swim is before we are drowning. Kirsch, for example, is a self taught disciple struggling to learn at the time that he was drowning and who has, without the proper training, come to be an expert at throwing those second darts that exacerbate the discomfort instead of providing relief or understanding to the untaught worldlings.
And that is a hugely difficult method in the worst of time to learn and is prone to the creation of counter-productive experiences and actions — such as Sarah’s brain goo plastering her friend’s covid friendly walls. Even those of us in the west who are turning to religions (Christian, Jewish, Buddhist) for guidance in this time of great awakening, it is often being done in ad hoc forms via the internet in a kind of desperate grasp onto something solid in a world of – OMG! IMPERMANENCE. (Wolfe’s series on the Geneva Bible’s story of Genesis is an example. Jeff Childers talks about a significant uptick in church attendance in his stack today:
Those of us awake enough to have kept our arms needle free did so because we were able to look at and see the manufactured covid panic and its inconsistent and illogical statements, the bizarre anti-social anti-science edicts and then the absolute lies and scientism gaslighting. And for whatever personal reasons, we also chose not to bow to the social and/or economic pressures of injection. WTF? As my friend Sarah says.
For many of the so-called cautious or awake that I have encountered that was the beginning of a profoundly disorienting experience with life gone askew because, basically, the impermanence of everything had been forced into our awareness. That ‘everything’ began with just a few of the basic foundational tenets we held about our society: that our paradigm is grounded and bound to scientific rationalism; the inalienable rights of the individual to bodily autonomy; and free speech. All three were gone as if a switch had been flipped almost overnight.
And on top of that it looked like most of the citizenry had literally flipped out, and willingly turned their back on those three tenets as if they are nice options to be dropped as soon as bodily existence was threatened. Families divided along lines of mortal enemies and many sacrificed their elderly parents to lonely and pretty horrible deaths as part of the ‘necessary’ acquiescence to the tyranny of personal and interpersonal so-called safety.
Sarah is faced with a tough choice: to explode her own brain or be the second dart into the hearts and minds of her normie friends – untaught worldlings – who think that vaccines are like God’s gift, 9/11 was a terrorist attack on two towers, SIDS is normal and SADS will be normal soon enough isn’t that too bad, and that childhood myocarditis is normal and treatable with another mRNA shot at some future date.
Q: What is a compassionate and caring and even knowledgable person to do? Exploding brains, or inject the second dart?
A: Become one of Buddha’s well-taught noble disciples — after the fact. Practice compassion because, paraphrased, the untaught worldlings know not what they do. They are awash and drowning in fear and ignorance. To that I add delusion knows no bounds, and is always always the other person’s problem.
They know not, eh? Why not? ‘They’? They are quasi-asleep normies to the walking dead zombies who have been indoctrinated into a pattern of extreme disembodiment and dependency on an external authority to make their decisions. That is the paradigm that was well articulated and a clearly stated by Rockefeller, who said, paraphrased, that what he wants is to have docile children who will do the bidding of their ‘expert’ philanthropic masters, and who will work diligently to make him rich and who will take their medicine without much, if any, fuss.
Yes, yes, but, but ‘Why won’t they let me wake them up to the truth that is showing itself all around us in the form of injury and death?’
They are children.
Frightened children stuck inside a disembodied form that looks like an adult. The problem is that of what EF Schumacher described as adequatio, the state of mind/being that is able to digest information or experience. (A Guide for the Perplexed.) In the same way we don’t expect most children to be able to do calculus or play a violin at the age of three, at least without some lessons, the normies are simply incapable of digesting the crazy. They require solid truths permanently grounded. They don’t see that everything is impermanent and that gripping for solidity on the ephemeral exacerbates their anxiety and deepens their fear.
In a very quiet and real sense, for me to learn something new is to give up something old. Otherwise what I have ‘learned’ is simply reinforcing what I already know and is neither learning nor is it something new. However, past childhood this is how most people chose to ‘learn’ because it keeps them safe from change and the unknown new. And this leads to that weird human paradox of wanting a different result yet not changing the behaviour.
To learn is to allow a little of me to die. And that is often uncomfortable, especially at the beginning of the process of learning discipline.
In my experience, and perhaps yours too, most people would rather die than change something in their life. That is especially true if that change would mean actually changing something real. And nothing is more real in the mind than the mistaken reality of an unchangeable belief. Whenever we confront the covidian fearful with the idea of changing their belief we are expanding their fear, if capacity is left for that, or adding to the wall of fear they have erected to control the scary things that threaten the existence of the beliefs that they have unconsciously mistaken for themselves.
Our ask for them to see the truth is for them to face mortality and death. Why? Because to see the truth really is death, a step towards the truth of the impermanence of all things, including our Selves and all those beliefs that we use to prop up who we are or who we think we want to be.
Even dedicated monks who have been practicing for years have this problem. How much more pronounced is it the untaught worldlings? On top of that we, the ’so-called’ awake, are also mostly untaught second dart throwers.
Jung commented that it is the height of arrogance for anyone to force someone to see a ‘truth’ that they are unable to appreciate. The Bible cautions us not to cast our pearls before swine, lest they turn and rend us. Chuang-Tsu cautions the disciple against teaching the despot lest the despot decapitates the disciple.
What are we to do with those with a willingness, especially a hesitant or reluctant willingness, to open just one eye and that is all? Explode our brains? Throw a second dart? Or practice compassion and recognise that to even open one eye is an act of courage. Be loving, and with that you may discover that the other will relax from anxiety and fear enough to cautiously expand their curiosity and maybe allow themselves to die a little in order to live a lot. With both eyes open.
That has been my experience, anyway. And it is funny that after developing a dedicated yoga practice I would come to Buddha’s teachings – not Buddhism – and see that the path of Patañjali’s Yoga Sutras (1912 translation here) and Tommy Rosen’s Recovery 2.0 (and his great book RECOVERY 2.0: Move Beyond Addiction and Upgrade Your Life) and the psychology of addiction recovery are also the fundamental principles that the Buddha taught: heal the anxiety that creates fear and that keeps us looking outward for the something that will ease that anxiety that originates within.
When I turned off the TV and all other news and entertainment sources in 2016 and diligently pursued yoga, I didn’t know then that that was a kind of preparation for now. With my practice, and the assistance of great teachers and partner, I was able to die off the grippy need to know the truth and to control my life. I was steadily learning impermanence and the peculiar steadiness that exists beneath impermanence. Now, in the time of covid, surrounded by untaught worldlings, I have the discipline to restrain myself from throwing at them the second dart while keeping my brain equanimous instead of exploding.
Thank you for reading.
Thank you, thank you for this! You have beautifully articulated what I have been thinking and feeling and really expanded on my understanding of Buddhist teachings and the insights they have brought me in how to cope over the past couple years.
So much of what we see around us now is driven by fear, anxiety and too much ego identification with ideas.
If one directly challenges an idea someone holds you can threaten someones ego, it can feel like a death to them so it’s not wise to do that but instead practice compassion and letting go of fear through contemplating impermanence.
We must not allow ourselves to be divided into tribes. We are all one people in various states of slumber or awakening and on our own very individual spiritual paths.
Much love and peace to you my friend. 🪷
Beautiful, Guy.
