In defence of Max Igan

"Truth is subjective, according to what you believe...

"The earth is a beautiful globe but the earth we operate on is also flat, according to your beliefs”

"Belief is the enemy of knowledge

"Have no attachment to the outcome"

---Max Igan

The "flat earth" and the parasitic mind

I was only vaguely aware of Max Igan until March, 2018 when he started to do major analysis on the banned footage of Brenton Tarrant's video of the Christchurch shooting. He did about the only objective analysis, showing clearly the presence of mysterious figures who should not have been there.

He also showed that the contention that the video showed that it was all fake ("CGI") was flawed and he demonstrated this clearly'

He was widely attacked after a debate with extreme conspiracy theorist, Jim Fetzer over this.

As opposed to Fetzer, who just repeated the same mantra over-and-over again without s skerrick of evidence to back up his claims, Igan was specific with his evidence gleaned through his movie-making skills.

Here are a couple of videos from the time:

Max Igan Banned From Youtube For Exposing Christchurch Massacre

Max Igan / What They Don't Want You to See in The NZ Mosque Shooting Video - And Its Not "CGI"

In my mind these people have an extreme confirmation bias and are more interested in confirming their ill-thought-out prejudices than they are in truth and evidence.

With the fires in Australia he is under attack once more by the same people after doing the best analysis I have seen on what is really behind  the fires, simply for saying that he hadn't yet seen evidence for the use of directed energy weapons.

One example of this is this video:

Max Igan the government agent the one eye symbol and the German swastika on his hand exposed

However, there are similar comments all over social media.

However, he is not a government agent, a shill, a distraction, or anything else.

The other day he talked about an experience he had had in the weekend.

It was a rather incoherent harangue for Max but he has worked out what happened and explains in his video.

He refers to the "parasitic mind" (is this similar to the Archons in David Icke's explanations?) and why the "truth movement" is a declaration that leads to "the motherboard" and mind-control rather than the Truth.

His language is not mine, and I do not "follow" him (or anyone else for that matter, if you mean uncritically accepting what anyone says) but let me say his message resonates with me.

We have to stop the re-search, which implies going over and over the same stuff.

If I had to sum up what Max had to say, it would be this:

He did a reading of Carlos Castaneda on the parasitic mind.

When I was starting off on a spiritual quest  in the 80's Carlos Castaneda and Jon Juan were all the rage.  Now, a whole new generation has still to discover this.

Carlos Castaneda, "The Predator of Man"; Free Download: David Icke, "The Biggest Secret"

"The Predator of Man"

 by Carlos Castaneda

Coyote Prime,

12 August, 2016

“’Predators Mind.’ This is the Castaneda term for that which aligns man with the thought center of service to self. In “Active Side of Infinity,” Don Juan tells Castaneda of the Earth being invaded in the mists of time by creatures of condensed darkness, the so-called Flyers which use man as food. The key idea as that these cosmic predators gave man their own mind. This is reasonable in light of much other material. At the human level, a system based on exploitation and consuming and control is seen to shape people in its own image: The slave tends to dream of becoming a master rather than of abolishing slavery. Any organization based on dominance naturally takes the form of a pyramid with few at the top and most at the bottom. For man to be the bottom or in some cases intermediate level of such a system, man must have the attributes of the dominators, only at a reduced scale.

Castaneda's writings in large part deal with ways of claiming one's own in terms of energy and free will from such a system. The battle is in large part internal. One must unmask and stand up to one's internal predator first. Otherwise one's external actions, even if well motivated, take place in the paradigm and mode of the predator. The internal predator can be extremely subtle. Still, it has some general recognizable characteristics: Castaneda puts it as follows:

"The Predator of Man"

"Ah, that's the universe at large,' he said, 'incommensurable, nonlinear, outside the realm of syntax. The sorcerers of ancient Mexico were the first ones to see those fleeting shadows, so they followed them around. They saw them as you're seeing them, and they saw them as energy that flows in the universe. And they did discover something transcendental. They discovered that we have a companion for life...

We have a predator that came from the depths of the cosmos and took over the rule of our lives. Human beings are its prisoners. The predator is our lord and master. It has rendered us docile, helpless. If we want to protest, it suppresses our protest. If we want to act independently, it demands that we don't do so. You have arrived, by your effort alone, to what the shamans of ancient Mexico called the topic of topics. I have been beating around the bush all this time, insinuating to you that something is holding us prisoner. Indeed we are held prisoner! This was an energetic fact for the sorcerers of ancient Mexico.'

'Why has this predator taken over in the fashion that you're describing, don Juan?' I asked. 'There must be a logical explanation.'

'There is an explanation,' don Juan replied, 'which is the simplest explanation in the world. They took over because we are food for them, and they squeeze us mercilessly because we are their sustenance. Just as we rear chickens in chicken coops, the predators rear us in human coops. Therefore, their food is always available to them.'

I felt that my head was shaking violently from side to side. I could not express my profound sense of unease and discontentment, but my body moved to bring it to the surface. I shook from head to toe without any volition on my part. 'No, no, no, no,' I heard myself saying. 'This is absurd, don Juan. What you're saying is something monstrous. It simply can't be true, for sorcerers or for average men, or for anyone.'

'Yes, it infuriates me,' I retorted. 'Those claims are monstrous!'

'I want to appeal to your analytical mind, ' Don Juan said. 'Think for a moment, and tell me how you would explain the contradiction between the intelligence of man the engineer and the stupidity of his systems of beliefs, or the stupidity of his contradictory behavior. Sorcerers believe that the predators have given us our systems of beliefs, our ideas of good and evil, our social mores. They are the ones who set up our hopes and expectations and dreams of success or failure. They have given us covetousness, greed and cowardice. It is the predators who make us complacent, routinary, and egomaniacal.'

'But how can they do this, don Juan?' I asked, somehow angered further by what he was saying. 'Do they whisper all that in our ears while we are asleep?'

'No, they don't do it that way. That's idiotic!' don Juan said, smiling. 'They are infinitely more efficient and organized than that. In order to keep us obedient and meek and weak, the predators engaged themselves in a stupendous maneuver - stupendous, of course, from the point of view of a fighting strategist. A horrendous maneuver from the point of view of those who suffer it. They gave us their mind! Do you hear me? The predators give us their mind, which becomes our mind. The predators' mind is baroque, contradictory, morose, filled with the fear of being discovered any minute now.'

Don Juan continues: 'I know that even though you have never suffered hunger... you have food anxiety, which is none other than the anxiety of the predator who fears that any moment now its maneuver is going to be uncovered and food is going to be denied. Through the mind, which, after all, is their mind, the predators inject into the lives of human beings whatever is convenient for them. And they ensure, in this manner, a degree of security to act as a buffer against their fear.

The sorcerers of ancient Mexico were quite ill at ease with the idea of when [the predator] made its appearance on Earth. They reasoned that man must have been a complete being at one point, with stupendous insights, feats of awareness that are mythological legends nowadays. And then, everything seems to disappear, and we have now a sedated man. What I'm saying is that what we have against us is not a simple predator. It is very smart, and organized. It follows a methodical system to render us useless. Man, the magical being that he is destined to be, is no longer magical. He's an average piece of meat. There are no more dreams for man but the dreams of an animal who is being raised to become a piece of meat: trite, conventional, imbecilic."

Humanity V Predator (They gave us their minds)

Upon close examination, the teachings of Don Juan, developed in nine books by Carlos Castaneda from 1968 to 1998, contain numerous distinct parallels with Gnostic instruction.

The new sorcery introduced by Castaneda is an extension and make-over of traditional knowledge of the "old seers" of the Toltec tradition of ancient Mexico. It differs from the old sorcery largely in its lack of concern for intricate power-games, feuds, sinister pacts with non-human powers, and control over others. Its aim is freedom for the spiritual warrior, rather than control over anyone or anything.


Both in Toltec and Gnostic terms, the ultimate liberation for humanity may come through facing the alien predators. They are not here to advance or assist us, but in confronting and overcoming them we may gain a vital boost toward another level of consciousness.


Some points of commonality between Gnosticism and the Toltec-derived neo-shamanism of Castaneda are:

- The Toltec exposure of an alien mind or foreign installation that makes us less and other than we humanly are: comparable to the Gnostic idea of a dehumanizing ideological virus implanted in our minds by the Alien/Archons.


- The importance for the sorcerer of mastering intent: comparable to Gnostic emphasis on ennoia, intentionality, which aligns us with the Gods and elevates us above the Archons.


- Castaneda's emphasis on syntax (correct attributions, and the use of mental command signals for directing intent): comparable to Gnostic teaching on ennoia, mental clarity, and correct attribution (right use of definitions).


- The Toltec assertion that predation is "the topic of topics": comparable to the Gnostic emphasis on the intrusion of the Archons. Facing intrusion is essential, because if we cannot see how we are deviated, we cannot find our true path in the cosmos.


- The work with lucid dreaming, astral travel, projection of the double, in Gnostic circles and the Mystery Schools: comparable to many episodes in Castaneda.


- The Toltec model of great bands of emanations that pervade the universe: comparable to the emanations or streamings from the Pleroma described in Mystery School revelation texts.


- The Toltec distinction between organic and inorganic beings: comparable to the distinction between humans and Archons in Gnostic cosmology.


- The Toltec exploration of other worlds and dimensions through the practice of non-ordinary awareness: comparable to age-old shamanic practices of the Mystery Schools.


-Don Juan's description of the "luminous egg": comparable to the oval of clear light in Gnostic revelation texts and the augoeides or "auric egg" of the Mysteries.


- he Toltec figure of the Eagle, a primary metaphor in Castaneda: comparable to the same figure in the Nag Hammadi Codices where the instructing voice of sacred mind, perhaps equivalent to Castaneda's "voice of seeing," states:


- "I appeared in the form of an Eagle on the Tree of Knowledge, the primal knowing that arises in the pure light, that I might teach them and awaken them out of the depth of sleep".

(The Apocryphon of John, 23.25-30)

- The organization of the sorcerer's party into eight pairs of male and female sorcerers: comparable to the organization of the Mystery cells into sixteen members, eight of each sex. (Artifactual evidence: Orphic Serpent bowl, and Pietroasa bowl.)


- The cultivation of the fire from within, Kundalini, or the Plumed Serpent of the Toltecs: comparable to the Winged Serpent and divine Instructor of the Gnostics.

I expect all this  is way beyond the minds of the people that rush to attack Max Igan.
