There is something mystical about the English musical geniuses known as Killing Joke that makes them more than just a band. For 40 years, with the help of their frontman and founding member, Jaz Coleman, they have unleashed their particular brand of esotericism onto the world to create a completely unique occult genre of tunes.
Music that would magically carry Coleman and his band from the old dirty streets of London to rocking in the king’s chamber at the Great Pyramid of Giza and to befriending and collaborating with Russia’s greatest musicians.
A feat that no other modern musician could accomplish, nor fully appreciate and understand the deep meaning behind their Great Work. (more…)

The inner world of Carl Jung was filled with shadows, daimons (demons), and the secrets of the individuation of the Self. Jung knew that people would think he was crazy for writing about such things but his conviction was so strong that he had written extensively about these subjects to the point that it became the main theme of his life’s Great Work.
Jung had said that he did not only believe, but he proclaimed that he knew our world was populated by demons and he was sure that many people were possessed by these disincarnated spirits.
“Unfortunately, it is my fate that other people, especially those who are themselves possessed by demons, think me mad because I believe in these powers. But that is their affair; I know they exist. There are demons all right, as sure as there is a Buchenwald (WWII German concentration camp).” (C.G. Jung Speaking: Interviews and Encounters pg. 155) (more…)

Recently, I have been reporting on what I like to call a “mycelium network or internet” that I theorize connects us humans to one another via specific fungal organisms that can be either beneficial (symbiotic) or detrimental (parasitical).
It is through this connection that I contend we can not only hack this network to bring knowledge and wisdom to humankind but also when used foolishly, evilness and destruction to whoever plays with the immortal dark fire that runs through its universal web and to the world wide root of our souls.
In many ancient cultures, this phenomenon was known as the “cosmic electric fire, universal life force or astral fire” to name a few. There were several Native American Tribes who described this unseen force as a type of spider web or cosmic web in which Spider Gods whose beliefs connected “the realms of light with those of darkness” through the use of webs.
33rd Degree Freemason, Manly P. Hall, had explained these ancient beliefs and in doing so, he also mentions “various parasitic growths” on plants and in certain minerals that are susceptible to this cosmic fire. Hall had written;
In like manner, animals, plants and even minerals are considered sacred, primarily because of their sensitivity to that “mysterious agency in Nature” known as “astral fire,” which we know today as electricity or even magnetism.
In fact, “various parasitic growths” in plants, and certain minerals, radium, and Lodgestone in particular, are “susceptible to this cosmic electric fire, or universal life force.”
Hall had said, “Most interestingly, during the Middle Ages, history records that magicians often surrounded themselves with “bats, spiders, snakes” and even monkeys, only because they were able to tap into their life forces. Moreover, it was believed in many “ancient schools of wisdom” that insects and reptiles “germinated out of the evil nature of man.”
Human beings, on the other hand, could gain intelligence, so hate would no longer taint the soul’s development.
Several American Indian tribes held the legend of ‘Spider Man,’ which connected the earth to the heavenly realms above through the use of its web. This idea is further supported by the “secret schools of India,” whose beliefs connected “the realms of light with those of darkness” through the use of webs.
These deities were known as “Spider Gods,” who were ruled by the “Great Spider.”
Hall concludes, “As such, the builders of this “cosmic system” were held together by threads of a web, known as the “invisible force.” (Hall, p. 87).
To further expand upon these ancient teachings of the universal life force and the spider web of the Native Americans, I would like to put forth modern research showing the modern science that further explains these teachings along with my modern fungi mycelium network theory.
Research that may one day prove that this universal life force which I simply call a mycelium internet on earth actually connects to the heavens via what scientists call today a “cosmic or galaxy filament” – the largest known structures in the universe.
Structures that are starting to reveal the secrets of “Dark Matter.”
It was in January 2014 when scientists were able to take an image of the cosmic filament close up to identify its mycelium like structure.
Researchers state that computer simulations suggest that matter in the universe is distributed in a “cosmic web” of filaments, as seen in the image above from a large-scale dark-matter simulation.
Scientists are finding that these cosmic filaments are massive thread-like web formations comprising huge amounts of dark matter which divide the universe into a vast gravitationally linked lattice interspersed with enormous dark matter voids.
The clusters and superclusters which connect to form filaments in the web due to gravity which researchers say make our Universe appear like foam or a sponge and may act as the skeleton of the Universe.
It is thought that this dark matter dictates the structure of the Universe on the grandest of scales.
There’s a network of invisible filaments across the universe, creating a previously unknown order to all the galaxies: Small ones are aligned with it, while big ones flip & turn sideways. https://t.co/n13AGzDIoMpic.twitter.com/bCmUsIkV3B
In 2016, Hungarian researchers discovered what they call the fifth force of nature which was a new type of boson in “the decay of an isotope of beryllium.” The scientists claim that it may solve one of the greatest mysteries of the universe which is dark matter.
What caught my attention in reading this research is the fact that the scientists found this new force in “the decay” of an isotope of beryllium. The word decay signifies something that is dead and rotting which would indicate that several microscopic organisms such as fungi would be eating this dead matter in order to absorb its carbon body and remaining nutrients.
If you Google the meaning of decay, you are given this description: “(of organic matter) rot or decompose through the action of bacteria and fungi.”
When I read this modern science of the fifth force found in decaying and rotting matter, it reminds me of the ancient story of the life that sprung from the rotten mud spoken about in The Theology of the Phoenicians from Sanchoniatho. It was translated by the 2nd century Christian Bishop and Church Historian, Eusebius of Caesarea who said that Sanchoniath wrote the truest history about the Jews.
Eusebius had translated;
“He supposes that the beginning of all things was a dark and condensed windy air, or a breeze of thick air and a Chaos turbid and black as Erebus: and that these were unbounded, and for a long series of ages destitute of form. But when this wind became enamored of its own first principles (the Chaos), and an intimate union took place, that connexion was called Pothos: and it was the beginning of the creation of all things.
And it (the Chaos) knew not its own production; but from its embrace with the wind was generated Môt; which some call Ilus (Mud), but others the putrefaction of a watery mixture. And from this sprung all the seed of the creation, and the generation of the universe.
Once their findings have been thoroughly pored over, we may finally have a solution to the long-standing and often bemusing problem of accounting for dark matter which makes up the vast majority of the universe and is believed to be responsible for some truly baffling behavior among the stars.
Now, let me turn your attention from to the stars down here on earth to take a microscopic look at the massive underground networks of fungi (molds) in the soil and our bodies that look almost exactly the same as Cosmic Filament.
Interestingly, these fungi are also known as networks of filaments that trade carbon for the eternal light-bringer we know is science by the Greek name – Phosphorus and in Latin, Lucifer.
Please keep in mind that as you read my research, NASA found fungi AKA Toxic Mold growing on the walls of the International Space Station (ISS) and other fellow cosmonauts in the International space community such as in Russia and Germany have reported that fungi/molds have been found growing in the most inhospitable conditions.
When identifying what “space microbes” were contaminating the ISS, two main fungal genera are dominant: Aspergillus and Penicillium. These are most commonly known as mold, which has been found growing on the walls, windows, air filtration systems, water and urine systems, and even lettuce that was grown onboard the ISS.
Additionally, filamentous fungi like P. rubens and A. niger can also form biofilms. Fungal biofilms are one of the main causes of infections and can be found on our teeth, in industrial water systems or on medical instruments, such as catheters. But, they can be useful and good, too! Filamentous fungi are also the main producers of antibiotics, vitamins and food supplements in the biotechnological industry nowadays.”
They conclude, “Understanding how filamentous fungi grow and colonize the ISS and other enclosed habitats such as hospitals will help us monitor, control and use them to their full potential, both on Earth and in space.”
The white dots located within these filaments are said to be active star-forming galaxies that are “being fed by the filaments.”
According to a video by HubbleCast and host Dr. J. Astronomers, theories of cosmic evolution suggest that galaxy clusters form where filaments of the cosmic web meet, with the filaments slowly funneling matter into the clusters.
This seems to further validate Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity which says that the path of light is bent when it passes through or near objects with a large mass.
So my question is “What bends the light and why do they do it?”
Thinking further about this question makes me rephrase it to “Who or what takes the light from one source and gives it to another and why do they do it?”
Turning back to modern space science, experts state that these filaments of the cosmic web are largely made up of dark matter which are invisible with the naked eye, but their mass is enough to bend the light and distort the images of galaxies in the background, in a process they call “gravitational lensing.”
The team has developed new tools to convert the image distortions into a mass map.
A symbiotic relationship in which we human mushrooms must give our masters in space via the cosmic web the knowledge and light they seek to form a symbiotic relationship with our alien hosts. If we do not provide them with the sustenance they require, they turn hostile and the relationship morphs into an alien invasion upon our souls which leads to a parasitic death spiral of madness, illness, and disease.
When I look to our beautiful earth being destroyed by man-made industry as we pollute the heavens above, it seems that we have yet to understand the true laws of this symbiotic relationship in which the filaments that run through our bodies, the ground and into space are all connected. I believe that a serious violation of these immortal laws may equate to a death sentence for humankind who could be doomed for destruction by the very unseen forces that science is just starting to understand.
As Nietzsche had prophetically written, “If you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”
With that said, maybe instead of surfing the light of Dark Matter via the cosmic filaments to space and beyond like I do in my wildest Gnostic dreams, we are in the next process of our (their) evolution that will speed up this process into the abyss.
One in which I would like to take Gurdjieff’s theory a step further that if we do not change our ways, we may as well call this next stage, “Fast Food for the Moon.”

In the U.S., Volusia County and Daytona Beach in the state of Florida are one of the nation’s hot spots for serial killers, pedophiles, drug traffickers, and demon-possessed criminals. It is said that the area creates a certain kind of atmosphere of insatiable anger that seems to permeate the humid air infecting the local population.
An unseen fog of evil that perpetually grips the lost souls in these quiet blood-drenched beach communities that seem to breed some of the most bizarre criminal behavior the world has ever seen that some religionists would call demonic.
A running joke among Volusia County law enforcement is that as soon as the news had broke about another serial killer on the loose, they would often jokingly suggest that he would wind up heading to Daytona on Interstate 95.
Former Daytona Beach police chief Paul Crow, who investigated local serial killer, Gerald Stano had said;
“We used to always have a saying, ‘Sooner or later, the son of a bitch will come here.”
The Volusia County Sheriff, Mike Chitwood, who also served as Daytona’s police chief for a decade before being elected sheriff in 2016 recently stated;
“If you’re a serial killer, the playing field is ripe for people on the fringes of society. Those who have been discarded by society find their way here. Who better for a serial killer to prey upon than someone who isn’t going to be missed after they’re gone?”
Volusia County came across my radar during my research into the phenomenon of murderers who have claimed to be demon-possessed in my body of work I call the “Cult of Demons.”
This haunted county is a well-known national hot spot for not only criminal activity but also paranormal and psychic phenomenons that cause seemingly normal people to suddenly become insane and or in their own words, demon-possessed.
What I often have found when I studied the history of these locations like Northern Florida is that they were ancient tribal grounds occupied for hundreds and if not thousands of years by Native American tribes like the Timucua.
The Timucua were the most powerful Tribes of Native Americans in North America who had ruled and controlled all of Central and Northern Florida prior to the rival of the Spanish, French, and the Russians. They lived in relatively small semi-agricultural villages containing between 30 houses and 200-300 residents.
The Timucua and their lands then became the target of European conquerors and settlers who had sought to usurp the natives.
They were actually one the first major tribes to encounter by the Franciscan Jesuits who took advantage of the preexisting political hierarchy by establishing missions at the largest and most important villages of the precolonial alliance system. The first founding city of the Jesuits, St. Augustine was also the first city in America located just North of Timucuan lands in order to control the area and also honor one of the Fathers of Catholicism – Saint Augustine.
The Timucua were described as a fierce people who were extremely tall, heavily tattooed and they also practiced black magic rites such as human sacrifice and cannibalism.
Ancient history tells us that many Native Americans like the Timucua believed that the world was inhabited by spirits, demons, and gods who could influence people. It appears that from historical accounts that they were well versed in black magic and these references to blood rituals and human sacrifice verify that these people knew the ancient rites of curses which I believe were imported along with them onto American soil from their Phoenician/Hebrew and Egyptian ancestors.
Author William Grimstad had written in Weird America;
“The Timucua were first mentioned by Ponce de Leon in 1513. Little is known about them, and there is no indication of any special affinity with other Amerindian tribes. They were heavily tattooed, went largely unclothed, and practiced human sacrifice and at times cannibalism. What is known of their language also suggests a Pacific rather than American orientation.” (Weird America, pg. 66)
To combat the Europeans, historical evidence shows that the native tribes would perform certain blood rituals and rites to curse and defend their land against the invaders. With war, curses are inflicted upon foes and blood is spilled onto the soil which contains the very disembodied spirits ie: parasitic organisms that make up our DNA.
If the Timucua indeed did curse the soil, I contend that modern science and the constant stream of media reports over the years about criminal activity in the area can help verify my theory. I also believe that these curses may still be in effect which is attributing to making these areas hot spots for not just any old felon but cursed meccas for the evilest criminals who have ever lived.
The Catholic Encyclopedia details some of the historical observations about the Timucua’s rituals and practices which included a peculiar rite of purification by means of a “black drink” made from the leaves of the Ilex cassine. Here is an image depicting the Black Drink ceremony.
My theory is that this “black drink” was a psychoactive brew made from the fungi on the Ilex cassine’s fruit and or leaves that helped the Timucua to commune with these parasitical organisms who they befriended.
The Catholic Encyclopedia writes;
“Prisoners of war and their descendants constituted a slave class. Their military organization and methods were superior to what was found among the northern tribes. Scalping and mutilation of the slain enemy were universal, and the dismembered limbs were carried from the field as trophies or to serve for cannibal feasts.
Polygamy was customary. Gross sensuality was prevalent. The chief gods were the Sun and the Moon, the Deer, and other animals. They were extremely ceremonious, celebrating planting and harvest seasons, fishing and hunting expeditions, the going and return of war parties, marriages, and funerals, each with special rites of prayer, fasting, feasting, dancing and purification by means of the “black drink” brewed from the leaves of the Ilex cassine.
On certain great ceremonial occasions, the first-born male infants of the tribe were delivered up by their mothers to be sacrificed to the Sun, in whose honor also a sacred fire was kept always burning in their temples.”
We know that the Catholic Franciscan friars along with the Jesuits were part of the conquering people who had usurped the Timucua so one must be careful when reading the victor’s accounts of war but when we examine these stories and others they seem to align with the truth.
That truth was that like most Native Americans, they were a culture based on war, magic, race, and conquest which constituted the rites of their religion and whose lives depended upon defending their tribes which were their extended families numbering in the tens of thousands.
Like almost all Tribes around the globe during these times, the magic of war ie: black magic ritual ceremonies played a daily role in their lives.
I believe that the scalp dance and shoving arrows in their prisoner’s anuses with the spilled blood and the subsequent orgies with Timucuan semen sprayed on the ground were specific rites to curse the ground and make it a Timucuan stronghold.
If this magic was carried on for hundreds and if not thousands of years, these areas could possibly have soil in which the very DNA of the Timucua would make up much of the soil microbiome and would most likely be parasitic (evil conscious negatively charged by black magic rites) to almost all spiritually weak people who come in contact with these organisms.
“The Timucua declared war by sticking a number of arrows into the ground, fliers up, in close vicinity to the enemy’s camp. This was done with the utmost secrecy the night before the attack, and locks o human hair were seen dangling from the end of the arrows.
The chiefs led the warriors on the war-path, club, arrows and bow in hand; when the fight had begun, they placed themselves in the center of the combatants, and their usual mode of attack was to surprise the enemy, as is done by all Indians.
They fought valiantly and impetuously when compelled to fight openly; their weapons were spears, clubs, bow and arrows, and a small target hung on the chest. Their arrows were headed with stones and fishbones, both being worked quite handsomely and carefully.
The warriors put to death all men captured (though exceptions to this are recorded i, cut off their arms above the elbow, and their legs above the knee, took their scalps, and ran an arrow into their anus, leaving them in this condition on the battle-field.
The scalps and sometimes the cut-off limbs were brought to camp, stuck on poles which they connected with garlands, and during the scalp dance, which lasted three days and nights, the most revolting orgies were gone through.
The oldest of their women were compelled to join hands in the maddening dance; the scalps of the slain were smoked over a fire, while praises were sung to the sun for the victory obtained. Women and children of the enemy were kept as slaves.”
If the Timucua ruled most of Florida and performed these black magic rites en mass, quite possibly they built a magical net stretching like filaments of fungi over hundreds and thousands of miles from one point of their tribal territory to all four corners.
A web to catch any foreign organism ie: person and or animal stepping on and living in this cursed soil would now be subject to the DNA and mycotoxins of these subconscious negative entities creating an air of evil when breathed in and or soaked through the skin via dermal absorption, results in possession ie: madness, schizophrenia, and or criminality.
A researcher from Florida State University examined the Timucuans religion to find that their rituals and belief systems could be divided into three categories of Cosmology: purity, pollution, and impurity.
Purity was associated with the sacred to purify the environment so the Timucuans were said to have used certain objects like fire, First Fruits, blood, corn, tobacco, and black drink to achieve a personal state of purity in order to attract the attention of and interact with their ancestors and the gods. This state of being was said to be rare and often dangerous for untrained individuals to interact with these dieties who were associated with the Upper World.
Pollution was the second state of being in the Timucuan cosmology which was with “symbolic dirt” connected to a negative state that had the power to alter a person’s state of being in bringing them closer to the Under World. The Timucuan had ritually used a woman’s menstrual blood, childbirth blood, dead bodies, and disease as their main symbols of pollution which allowed them to enter a state which allowed them to commune with the spirit world.
It was said that their rituals had brought about process similar to death and dying (thus becoming a sacred ancestor) or through shedding the blood of the lineage (birth, menstruation, and blood sacrifice), which links the earthly family to the sacred family.
This is key to understanding my theory that the soils fungal microbiome was cursed via their blood and rituals of death which last until this very day.
The Timucuans death rituals associated with funerary rites include the shedding of blood, human sacrifice, public mourning of women, cutting hair as a symbol of mourning which was associated with the body’s decay as symbols of the Under World. Decay is associated with fungi and I contend this same said fungi is still prevalent here wreaking havoc on local heathen and the sinful,
In the Timucuans Cosmology, blood was something to be closely controlled and the general population was said to have kept segregated from spilled blood.
The Spanish certainly were not ignorant of the importance of blood and their familiarity with the magic of blood rituals which had a religio-political importance closely connected to the elite class to control their city-states.
“Microorganisms need electrons for everything they do. If they consume nutrients or spew out methane or expel carbon dioxide – for any living, biological process – they need electrons,” said Tianran Sun, postdoctoral researcher in soil and crop sciences and lead author of the paper that appears March 31 in Nature Communications.
Like large volumes of electricity that flow from Niagara Falls throughout upstate New York, electrons convey through soil via carbon. “We weren’t aware of this high-definition soil distribution system transporting electrons from far away. It’s not kilometers, it’s not meters, but centimeter distances that matter in soil,” said Johannes Lehmann, professor of soil science.
In fact, amending the soil with pyrogenic carbon – known as biochar – brings high definition to the electron network. In turn, the electrons spur conductive networks and growth, said Sun.
“Previously we thought there were only low-performing electron pathways in the soil – and now we’ve learned the electrons are channeled through soil very efficiently in a high-performing way,” said Lehmann.
The ancient religion and beliefs of the Timucua actually align perfectly with what Cornell scientists call electron pathways in the soil and my modern theory that the “symbolic dirt” infecting the areas in and around the Volusia County and Daytona Beach have been cursed by the blood of the Timucua.
Blood infected soils and air from the Timucuan microbiome warriors that can be very dangerous for those people of different DNA who are mentally and spiritually weak people who reside and or visit there.
The reason being is that the systematic liquidation of the Timucua places a lot of their blood and DNA into the region which I believe with their occult knowledge they charged via curses to ‘feed’ the negative entities that they created who now reside and torment the people who live there.
Especially the ones who do not understand this history and are weak-minded. Meaning they are often ignorant people who have little control over their own minds and lives that become tools for the Timucuan Under World of evil demons who seek to torment and destroy any alien invader.
People like the pregnant Florida mother, Ebony Wilkerson who on March 4, 2014, was tormented by who she called demons that demanded she drive her minivan with her three children straight into the ocean surf in Daytona Beach.
This negative energy and evil parasites can possibly be equated to what researchers call high-definition electron pathways in the soil that are transported via a mycelium network of microorganisms to unsuspecting victims like Wilkerson.
At the time of the attempted murders, Wilkerson said she didn’t have a care in the world because she was with God and wasn’t aware that her three children locked in the minivan she was driving towards the waves were in danger.
Wilkerson then told her kids to close their eyes and go to sleep, ‘I’m taking you to a better place,'”
Thankfully, bystanders came to the rescue of her children and apprehended the delusional woman who heard demons that told her to kill herself and her family.
Ebony Wilkerson’s sister told a 911 dispatcher that Ebony wigged out inside her Daytona Beach home before putting her kids in the minivan and speeding away.
“She’s talking about Jesus, that there’s demons in the house,” the sister told the operator.
The Demons of Daytona Beach has also been a favorite spot for several killers who have gained national notoriety.
The first in a line of infamous killers to terrorize Daytona was Gerald Stano who moved to the area with his parents when he was a young adult. He was first arrested in 1980 after one of his victims, a local prostitute, escaped from a hotel room after he had beat her and doused her with acid.
Stano was eventually linked to 33 murders and may have killed as many as 88 people. The women he was known to have killed ranged in age from 12 to 34.
Perhaps the most famous serial killers on the list is Aileen Wuornos because she was a woman and prostitute who targeted men. She was convicted in the 1989 murder of Richard Mallory, 51, in Daytona and admitted to six other slayings in Marion, Citrus, Pasco, and Dixie counties.
Wournos was executed in October 2002, becoming the second woman executed in Florida after the U.S. Supreme Court restored the death penalty in 1976.
Next, the we have the “I-95 killer,” Gary Ray Bowles who murdered six gay men.
In March 1994, Bowle’s first victim was John Hardy Roberts, 59, who was killed in his home on Vermont Avenue in Daytona. Bowles struck Roberts in the back of his head with a lamp, choked him and stuffed a towel down his throat. Bowles killed his other victims in almost the same fashion during the several months.
More recently, we have the alleged Daytona serial killer, Robert Hayes, 37, who was a student with a criminal justice major at Bethune-Cookman University. Hayes is accused of killings of three prostitutes between 2005 and 2006.
Hayes was arrested as the result of DNA matches on September 15 in South Florida in connection with a 2016 prostitute slaying of Rachel Bey, 32, in Palm Beach County victim that matched DNA taken from two of the Daytona victims. All of the women were killed with a .40-caliber Smith & Wesson.
Hayes was investigated twice by legal authorities because he had purchased a .40-caliber Smith & Wesson from a local gun shop prior to the killings but detectives didn’t see any connection at the time.
Police investigators said that Hayes who is an educated African American doesn’t fit the profile of a typical serial killer — an uneducated, aimless white male.
Perhaps, I can offer law enforcement a tip.
If I were lead occult investigators on this case, I would contend that he perfectly fits the profile of a person suffering from the ancient Timucua curse of the soil in which his lungs and blood have become infected with the Timucuan made – Daytona Demon…

In researching some of the world’s most famous geniuses who have ever lived, I have discovered that many of them share a particular trait that seems to connect them to one another as if they are all part of the same network of super-intelligent fungi.
A world-wide-web of knowledge and memories via a secret mycelium channel of interconnectedness that only certain initiated/infected humans can access.
This access point I theorize is made not by us, but by them and it is through the very symbiotic microorganisms who inhabit our bodies and the world that we obtain our intelligence, religion, laws, governmental policies, and prophecies.
In this article, I would like to share with you some of my research into some of these legendary mental giants showing that they were ALL sick with some type of illness or disease which I believe was the result of a fungal infection.
An ancient of knowledge and wisdom that I contend that these alien fungi have preselected certain humans as their mediums and prophets of whom some I name below.
What I have also discovered is that some of the people who recover and or eternally suffer from childhood or adult illnesses will often go on to become divinely inspired and intelligently gifted healers who have this newfound ability to freely share their knowledge and heal others.
In a later paper, I will delve into the science as to why I believe that illness and disease will either bring out the inner genius angel or the evil demon within us all.
Here is a list of the most famous and smartest people to help prove my theory.
NOSTRADAMUS
Perhaps the most famous on my list is the 16th-century French astrologer and physician Michel de Nostredame (Nostradamus). He is well known around the world for his prophecies and also being one of the most sought after doctors during the plague.
Nostradamus is considered to be a prophetic giant who has been credited with accurately predicting future events, including the rise of Hitler.
He was also sick from gout and arthritis for much of his adult life and suffered from dreams and nightmares that gave him visions of the future. Nostradamus lived at the royal court in Paris at the queen’s invitation until his illness forced him to return to Salon.
He eventually lost his first wife and children to the plague which sent him into a deep depression.
Nostradamus’ illness was said to later develop into edema or dropsy, where abnormal amounts of fluid accumulate beneath the skin or within cavities of the body.
He had predicted his own death on the evening of July 1, 1566, when Nostradamus is alleged to have told his secretary Jean de Chavigny, “You will not find me alive at sunrise.”
The next morning he was reportedly found dead lying on the floor next to his bed.
VOLTAIRE
The 17th-century French Parisian scientist and philosopher, Francois Marie Arouet, better known as Voltaire, was one of France’s greatest writers and philosophers who suffered a life long illness that he often remarked about in his writings.
Throughout Voltaire’s life, he was said to have an obsession with his illness and his erotic desires are inextricably linked in his many works and claims his illness for resulting in his illicit passion for his niece.
Voltaire left the court for good in 1753, supposedly telling a friend, “I was enthusiastic about [Frederick] for 16 years, but he has cured me of this long illness.”
He ended up living a fairly long life until he died at age 83.
I will leave you with a famous quote by Voltaire — “The art of medicine consists of amusing the patient while nature cures the disease.”
HELENA BLAVATSKY
One of the world’s most famous Russian occultist was born prematurely in 1831 at “midnight” in the Ukraine as a cholera epidemic raged. She was born to a royal family and immediately baptized as a sleepy child holding a candle had accidentally set fire to the officiating priest’s robes.
The woman’s name was Helena Petrovena Blavatsky. She was the granddaughter of General Alexis Hahn (a noble family of Mecklenburg settled in Russia) and her mother was Helene Fadeyef, and the granddaughter of Privy Councillor Andrew Fadeyef and of the Princess Helene Dolgoruki. It was said that she was called Sedmichka, meaning one connected with the number seven.
As early as 1860, it was reported that Helena suffered from a terrible illness from a wound near her heart that would not fully heal and would re-open occasionally making her suffer in great agony. Her sickness would last for a few days and then heal suddenly and no trace of it remains.
In 1864, Helena had another serious illness that had often rendered her comatose. Later that year she connected with a family friend named Isidore at the Metropolitan of St. Petersburg who had blessed Helena with the following words:
“As for you let not your heart be troubled by the gift you are possessed of, nor let it become a source of misery to you hereafter, for it was surely given to you for some purpose and you could not be held responsible for it. Quite the reverse, for if you but use it with discrimination, you will be enabled to do much good to your fellow-creatures.”
It was said that she was restored back to life again where she began her travels again going to Italy but while traveling in Europe, back in India, some jealous Theosophical Society employees with forged documents that they brought to the police filed trumped-up charges of fraud against her. The charges were later dropped but the stress associated with the investigation from her former colleagues had wreaked havoc on Madame Blavatsky’s health.
By the end of March 1887, she again fell gravely ill with a kidney infection and was not expected to live.
From the statements made by her relatives and recorded in her own words, no doctor could understand her illness.
It was said that after he last bout of that illness, Helena repeatedly told her friends—” to lead a double life.”
In his Incidents in the Life of Madame Blavatsky (p. 147), Mr. Sinnett quotes a written description of hers of a ” double life ” she led throughout a certain ” mild fever,” which was yet a wasting illness, that she had when a young lady in Mingrelia:
“Whenever I was called by name, I opened my eyes upon hearing it, and was myself, my own personality in every particular. As soon as I was left alone, however, I relapsed into my usual, half-dreamy condition, and became somebody else (who, namely, Mme. B. will not tell). . . . .
In cases when I was interrupted, when in my other self, by the sound of my present name being pronounced, and while I was conversing in my dream-life, —say at half a sentence either spoken by me or those who were with my second me at the time,—and opened my eyes to answer the call, I used to answer very rationally, and understood all, for I was never delirious. But no sooner had I closed my eyes again than the sentence which had been interrupted was completed by my other self, continued from the word, or even the half word it had stopped at.
When awake, and myself, I remembered well who I was in my second capacity, and what I had been and was doing. When somebody else, /’. e., the personage I had become, I know I had no idea of who was H. P. Blavatsky! I was in another far-off country, a totally different individuality from myself, and had no connection with my actual life.”

CARL JUNG
Swiss psychiatrist and founder of analytical psychology, Carl Jung said that at age 38 he started having visions and hearing voices.
Jung described his visions as a type of “psychosis” or “schizophrenia” that would worry him but also produce much of his material for the Red Book that was published after his death.
The New York Times describes the story told by the Red Book:
The book tells the story of Jung trying to face down his own demons as they emerged from the shadows. The results are humiliating, sometimes unsavory. In it, Jung travels the land of the dead, falls in love with a woman he later realizes is his sister, gets squeezed by a giant serpent and, in one terrifying moment, eats the liver of a little child.
At age 69, he had a heart attack that kept him at death’s door for several weeks while he went deep within to a world of visions.
Not surprisingly, Jung’s mother, Emilie, was haunted by mental illness most of her life.
He suffered from many health problems such as digestive system disorders; liver ailment, stomach ulcer, inflammation of gall bladder, jaundice and intestinal pains.
By his own admission, Albert Einstein told his biographer, Carl Seelig, that “my parents were worried because I started to talk comparatively late, and they consulted a doctor because of it,” and also had ‘poor memory of words’, during his childhood years.
Some researchers believe that Albert Einstein may have had Asperger syndrome or Autism.
His younger son, Eduard, suffered from mental illness and led an unstable life in psychiatric clinics until his death.
EMANUEL SWEDENBORG
The last person on my fungal infected geniuses list is the 18th-century Swedish scientist, philosopher, and mystic Emanuel Swedenborg had suffered from various illnesses and often discussed how the spiritual world can affect our health in the physical world.
Swedenborg described the universal human is the whole of heaven made up of infinite interconnected parts and our spiritual and physical selves are tied together through correspondences (mycelium?), which are connections between spiritual causes (laws) and physical effects (sentences) to it is what sustains our life.
Swedenborg had written;
The universal human is the whole of heaven, which is a composite likeness and image of the Lord. The Lord’s divine nature corresponds to the heavenly and spiritual attributes there, which correspond to earthly entities in the world, particularly those belonging to a human being. Through heaven or the universal human, then, the Lord’s divine nature corresponds with a human being and with all the parts that make up a human being—so much so that we spring from, or in other words, are sustained by, this correspondence. (Secrets of Heaven §3883)
Swedenborg’s description of heaven reminds me of the modern theory by Rupert Sheldrake of the morphic fields or what I simply like to call the mycelium human network or internet.
Swedenborg had claimed to have experienced physical symptoms from his contact with these entities who he calls hellish spirits to bring all evil and disease. He writes;
All hellish spirits bring on illness (with differences) because all the hells crave evil and are obsessed with it. They therefore work against influences from heaven and have the opposite effect on us. Heaven, the universal human, keeps everything connected and safe from harm. Hell, being opposed, destroys everything and rends it apart. If hellish spirits latch on, then, they trigger illness and eventually death.
However, hellish spirits are not permitted to exert their influence right on the solid parts of the body, or the parts composing a person’s organs, viscera, and limbs, just on a person’s corrupt desires and distorted ideas. Only when we fall sick do they act on the unclean substances connected with disease. . . .
Nonetheless, this does not block the possibility of physical cure. The means of healing coincide with the Lord’s providence. Much experience has taught me that this is the case, so many times and for so long a time that not a shred of doubt remains.
Evil spirits from these kinds of places have often latched onto me for long periods, causing pain and also illness, depending on where they were present. I was shown where they were located and what they were like and was told where they came from. (Secrets of Heaven §5713)
Author John Wesley, received from Swedenborg the following letter in the latter part of February, 1772:
Great Bath Street, Coldbath Fields, Feb., 1772.
Sir:—I have been informed in the world of spirits that you have a strong desire to converse with me. I shall be happy to see you, if you will favor me with a visit.
I am your humble servant,
Emanuel Swedenborg.
Mr. Wesley frankly acknowledged to the company present,—consisting mostly of preachers with whom he was preparing for a circuit, upon which he was about to set out,—that he had been strongly impressed with a desire to see and converse with Swedenborg, and that he had never mentioned that desire to anyone.
He wrote for answer that he was then closely occupied in preparing for a six months journey, but would do himself the pleasure of waiting upon Swedenborg soon after his return to London. Swedenborg replied that the proposed visit would be too late, as he should himself go into the world of spirits on the 29th day of the next month, never more to return.
Dr. Hartley was a clergyman of the church of England, Rector of Winwick in Northamptonshire, a personal acquaintance of Swedenborg, and one of the first receivers of his doctrines.
Mr. Wesley went the circuit, and on his return to London in October learned that Swedenborg had departed this life on the 29th of March preceding.
In the month of December previous, he had had an attack of apoplexy, from which he did not recover. He was repeatedly visited during his last illness by Ferelius, the pastor of the Swedish Church in London, who asked him on one occasion if he thought himself about to die, and was answered in the affirmative. It was proposed to him to take the sacrament, and with his assent, Ferelius was sent for to administer it.
“On this occasion,” writes Ferelius, “I remarked to him that, as many persons thought he had only sought fame by his new theological system (which he had attained), he would do well now to publish the truth to the world, and to recant all or any part of what he had erroneously advanced, as he had nothing more to expect from the world, which he was soon to quit forever.
“Upon hearing these words, Swedenborg raised himself half upright in bed, and placing his sound hand on his breast (one was palsied), said with great zeal and emphasis, ‘As true as you see me before you, so true is everything I have written. I could have said more had I been permitted.
When you come into eternity you will see all things as I have described them, and we shall have much to say to one another concerning them.'”
When asked if he was disposed to partake of the Holy Supper, he replied:
“Thank you; you mean well, but I do not need it. However, to show the connection between the Church in Heaven and the Church on Earth, I will gladly take it.”
