Age Of Truth TV
Interview by AGE OF TRUTH TV with the legendary British author, lecturer, journalist, investigative truth speaker and conspiracy researcher, David Icke in Copenhagen, Denmark on 11th October 2018.
Lucas Alexander interviews David Icke in this fascinating, compelling, eye-opening and sometimes mind-blowing follow-up episode, since the first Age Of Truth TV show in May 2011 - "A Controversial Icon: A Beginners Guide To David Icke".
What happens to us when we die? That is probably life´s biggest mystery, and after 30 years of in-depth research into the paranormal, other-worldly phenomena, a complex global conspiracy and multiple realities and dimensions, David Icke offers a very different and alternative view of what death is and human consciousness, that goes way beyond all religious belief systems and popular spiritual philosophy.
Is Mind Control the most powerful weapon used on the world population today? David Icke has researched the Mind Control phenomena for several decades, which has led him into some very controversial dark places and discoveries: The collective Mind Control of human perception and consciousness, through sophisticated AI (Artificial Intelligence) Smart-technology, and MK Ultra Trauma-based Mind Control - one of the most shocking forms of human torture. David Icke´s meetings and work with supposed former Project Monarch "Sex-kitten" Mind Controlled slaves to political dignitaries and royalty, Arizona Wilder, Cathy O´Brien and Brice Taylor, is discussed.
Otherworldly, Extra-Terrestrial and Inter-Dimensional entities and alien races, such as Archons and Reptilians, are some of the most controversial topics David Icke has become famous and infamous for writing and talking about since the 1990´s. But who are they, how do they function and how do they fit into so-called Illuminati symbolism and satanic rituals, and in what way is the planet Saturn connected to Satan, and how does it control the Earth and our realm of existence?
It´s an 1 hour 15 minutes of hard-talk with one of the worlds most controversial men who, according to himself, at the beginning of his "awakening" to an entirely different world, couldn´t "fill a phone booth" with people wanting to hear him speak, he is now packing arenas, like Wembley Arena in London and venues all over the world on many continents. David Icke was in Copenhagen, Denmark in October 2018, on his "Everything You Need To Know" Tour, where this interview by Lucas Alexander for Age Of Truth TV took place.

THE MIND CONTROL DEATH TRAP
Monday, December 7, 2020
THE WANDERER
THEN, when it was about midnight, Zarathustra went his way over the ridge of the isle, that he might arrive early in the morning at the other coast; because there he meant to embark. For there was a good roadstead there, in which foreign ships also liked to anchor: those ships took many people with them, who wished to cross over from the Happy Isles. So when Zarathustra thus ascended the mountain, he thought on the way of his many solitary wanderings from youth onwards, and how many mountains and ridges and summits he had already climbed.
I am a wanderer and mountain-climber, said he to his heart. I love not the plains, and it seems I cannot long sit still.
And whatever may still overtake me as fate and experience - a wander- ing will be therein, and a mountain-climbing: in the end one experiences only oneself.
The time is now past when accidents could befall me; and what could now fall to my lot which would not already be my own!
It returns only, it comes home to me at last - my own Self, and such of it as has been long abroad, and scattered among things and accidents.
And one thing more do I know: I stand now before my last summit, and before that which has been longest reserved for me. Ah, my hardest path must I ascend! Ah, I have begun my lonesomest wandering!
He, however, who is of my nature does not avoid such an hour: the hour that says to him: Now only do you go the way to your greatness! Summit and abyss - these are now comprised together!
You go the way to your greatness: now has it become your last refuge, what was thus far your last danger!
You go the way to your greatness: it must now be your best courage that there is no longer any path behind you!
You go the way to your greatness: here shall no one steal after your! Your foot itself has effaced the path behind you, and over it stands writ- ten: Impossibility.
And if all ladders henceforth fail you, then must you learn to mount upon your own head: how could you mount upward otherwise?
Upon your own head, and beyond your own heart! Now must the gentlest in you become the hardest.
He who has always much-indulged himself, sickens at last by his much-indulgence. Praises on what makes hardy! I do not praise the land where butter and honey - flow!
To learn to look away from oneself, is necessary in order to see many things. - this hardiness is needed by every mountain-climber.
He, however, who is obtrusive with his eyes as a discerner, how can he ever see more of anything than its foreground!
But you, O Zarathustra, would view the ground of everything, and its background: thus must you mount even above yourself - up, upwards, until you have even your stars under you!
Yes! To look down upon myself, and even upon my stars: that only would I call my summit, that has remained for me as my last summit!-
Thus spoke Zarathustra to himself while ascending, comforting his heart with harsh maxims: for he was sore at heart as he had never been before. And when he had reached the top of the mountain-ridge, behold, there lay the other sea spread out before him; and he stood still and was long silent. The night, however, was cold at this height, and clear and starry.
I recognise my destiny, said he at last, sadly. Well! I am ready. Now has my last lonesomeness begun.
Ah, this sombre, sad sea, below me! Ah, this sombre nocturnal vexation! Ah, fate and sea! To you must I now go down!
Before my highest mountain do I stand, and before my longest wandering: therefore must I first go deeper down than I ever ascended:
-Deeper down into pain than I ever ascended, even into its darkest flood! So wills my fate. Well! I am ready.
Whence come the highest mountains? so did I once ask. Then did I learn that they come out of the sea.
That testimony is inscribed on their stones, and on the walls of their summits. Out of the deepest must the highest come to its height. -
Thus spoke Zarathustra on the ridge of the mountain where it was cold: when, however, he came into the vicinity of the sea, and at last stood alone among the cliffs, then had he become weary on his way, and more eager than ever before.
Everything as yet sleeps, said he; even the sea sleeps. Drowsily and strangely does its eye gaze upon me.
But it breaths warmly - I feel it. And I feel also that it dreams. It tosses about dreamily on hard pillows.
Hark! Hark! How it groans with evil recollections! Or evil expectations?
Ah, I am sad along with you, you dusky monster, and angry with myself even for your sake.
Ah, that my hand has not strength enough! Gladly, indeed, would I free you from evil dreams! -
And while Zarathustra thus spoke, he laughed at himself with melancholy and bitterness. What! Zarathustra, said he, will you even sing consolation to the sea?
Ah, you amiable fool, Zarathustra, you too-blindly confiding one! But thus have you ever been: ever have you approached confidently all that is terrible.
Every monster would you caress. A whiff of warm breath, a little soft tuft on its paw: - and immediately were you ready to love and lure it.
Love is the danger of the lonesomest one, love to anything, if it only live! Laughable, truly, is my folly and my modesty in love! -
Thus spoke Zarathustra, and laughed thereby a second time. Then, however, he thought of his abandoned friends - and as if he had done them a wrong with his thoughts, he upbraided himself because of his thoughts. And forthwith it came to pass that the laughter wept - with anger and longing wept Zarathustra bitterly.

The Matrix Revealed
Cult of the reality builders
The cult of the reality builders has been alive and well since the beginning of history on planet Earth.
The cult takes on different forms, but the objective has always been the same: create a central image that conveys basic concepts of existence.
During my 30 years as a reporter covering “the news behind the news,” I’ve seen countless instances in which the matrix shows up, swims into view.
The matrix, the central image, is a lie. But not just any lie.
It is very deep shared picture of reality.
It has all the earmarks of being true. Therefore, many people accept it. People know it’s right.
People believe that, if it were wrong, if it were an illusion, their view of the world would melt.
So they retreat. They turn their backs. They settle into accepting the matrix-picture.
People need more power—more individual power, so they can both stand and operate outside the matrix.
Wherever you see false pictures of reality—in the areas of science, politics, energy, medicine, media, money, covert intelligence, the military, religion, multinational corporations—you also see the need for individuals to gain power, so they can stand and operate outside these pictures.
Limited concepts of space, time, and energy—these, too, are “given” to human beings as the be-all and end-all of a story. A story that ultimately short-circuits and short-changes what the individual is really capable of.
The entire mural of imposed Reality is aimed at radically diminishing the individual’s power.
People are consciously or unconsciously fixated on boundaries and systems. They are hoping for whatever can be delivered through a system.
That fixation is a form of mind control.
Freedom isn’t a system.
But freedom needs creative power, otherwise it just sits there and becomes a lonely statue gathering dust in an abandoned park.
At one time or another, every human being who has ever lived on this planet has abandoned his creative power. The question is: does he want to get it back?
It never really goes away. It is always there. It is the basis of a life that can be lived. A life that can be chosen. People instead choose roles that don’t require that power. They think this is a winning strategy.
It isn’t.
The trick behind Occult systems
It should be obvious to readers who’ve been with me for a while that I attack delusion in more than one place. Political systems, medical systems…and so-called spiritual systems.
That’s because I happen to believe in legitimate limited government, healing, and the unbounded life of the individual spiritual being.
Occult systems, which propose they have a hidden secret at the core, which will be revealed after a long and exhaustive search, are, at best, deluded, because they are concealing CONTENT.
By content, I mean information, knowledge, pattern, some facet of what already exists. This is a dead-end.
There is nothing wrong with truthful information. But….
Suppose we had a secret society called The Inner Core Flame X42. And we sold our members on the idea that, after a series of ascending initiations, they would arrive at the X, the secret of secrets.
Well, what could X be? Some nugget of information, some formula or phrase or fact or made-up fact about existence that is supposed to solve problems and enlighten consciousness.
But consciousness is dynamic. It isn’t a key looking for a lock.
Consciousness is dynamic because it creates. It creates new realities.
It isn’t primarily a container for What Is, for what already exists.
If there is a secret about consciousness, that’s it. IT CREATES.
So no matter what X we cooked up, it would become obsolete, of minor value.
Humans are ripe for buying an X because they are trained, and train themselves, to place the highest value on What Already Exists.
That’s mind control par excellence.
Occult systems deliver what controlled minds expect, and that’s why they’ve flourished. That’s the only reason why.
But there is another way.
When a person sees the “artistic” blow-by-blow creation of these power structures, in progress—rather than the finished product—an entirely new consciousness arises.
“If they can create Reality for me, I can create my own.”
“If they are artists, I can be an artist, too—but in an entirely different direction.”
The Matrix ceases to be a monolith. It is revealed as an ongoing weave, and one can see the process at work.
Then, one’s own insight operates on behalf of liberation.
A person can actually see how he cooperates in the progression of accepting “the weave.”
And he sees other options.
Therefore, as I put together The Matrix Revealed, I made sure to show Matrix as a work in process, an ongoing enterprise, a work of art, as it were, that can be dismantled—as a person takes another road of his own.
This is vital. It transforms victimization into inspiration.
In my work, I was assisted by interviewees who profoundly understood all this.

THE BIG MOMENT HAS COME
Cheers,
Make no mistake, the war between the dark and the light is over
December 1, 2020
"Your Work, Love, Light and Prayers are making a profound difference on the Earth at this time!"
~ Valerie Donner
Dear Ground Crew:
Here is the latest from Apollo, November 30, 2020: “Make no mistake, the war between the dark and the light is over. The positives and the negatives have been canceled out. It is time to leave the old. There are a few stragglers who have not gotten the message but I am telling them loudly and clearly, it is over! They are done! They are off to some other place because the earth is finished with them! We have all had enough. I make this pronouncement and it holds. Our Creator has spoken. All obstructions are cleared. The New World is ready for those who can rise in consciousness and who will be able to allow and live in the Golden Age and the golden light. Welcome!”
November 29, 2020, “The gateway to a new tomorrow is opening. Things will never be the same on Mother Earth. We are preparing our landing craft. All systems are ready. The dark have lost their grip. There is much cleaning up to do. Completion is at hand. As above so below. The light is blasting through. The total cleansing of the planet is going on in a very big way. Look out for the debris! Humanity is in for a huge awakening. Say goodbye to the dark forces of evil. You are ascending and you are free!”
Twenty-five years ago, when I first started writing on the Internet for the ground crew, we mistakenly thought that we were ready for ascension. Reflecting back, it is obvious that we had to go through much more. We were told that when the Schumann Resonance reached 12, we would be in the null zone, zero point. The Schumann Resonance measures the heartbeat of the planet. At that time 7.8 was normal. This past year, or more, it vacillated all the way up into the high 90’s and has been hovering recently around the mid-teens. It is interesting to note that as of this writing on December 1, 2020, the Schumann Resonance is at 70!
We are in the null zone of the photon belt which comes around every 26,000 years. Just think about what we have learned since the mid-nineties and how much more aware and awake we are right now. This 2020 year has been the most challenging for most people. It is the great awakening.
There are forces of dark who would like to prevent the awakening by using lies, censorship, mind control, physical force, chemicals in the sky, vaccines, prevention of human gatherings and connection, and by polarizing friends and family. Many lightworkers have been taken off YouTube and other bringers of truth have had their platforms attacked. We have to remember that none of this will work. Censorship is like putting a blanket over the sun to prevent the light. The light is for our enlightenment and cannot be stopped. Light is information. It is far more powerful than any of the means the dark forces are using to prevent the ascension.
Dark Forces
By Valerie Donner
Nasty little dark forces
Jamming up things.
They had better watch out
For what Santa brings.
Will it be a lump of coal
Or a messed-up flight?
The reindeer won’t be flying
To their houses Christmas Eve night.
They’re just like two-year-olds
Who always want their way.
Sorry it doesn’t happen anymore.
The light is having its say.
There are some parallels
That many are starting to see.
The company you keep
Is important for you and me.
The light has the stronghold.
The dark has lost its grip.
It’s time to celebrate
And go on a light ship.
Let freedom ring!
Shout it out!
Everything will be OK
For today and throughout.
The nasties had their time.
Now it’s way overdue
For them to go away
For us to begin a new!
Many would like to know what this portends. Is it a big wave of light and love? Is it the time of shifting the consciousness into the fifth dimension? Does this mean that our planet, Solar System, galaxy and universe are going to be moved into another quadrant in the multi-verse? Some are skeptical and think it could just be another big nothing burger. But my heart tells me otherwise. I am optimistic about what will happen three weeks from now. I also have galactic connections that give me a sense that we are moving in to the New Earth. If this is so, it would make this most challenging year of 2020 worth it!
Someone sent me the following quote: “The year is not over yet. We still have two eclipses and a rare alignment to go, full moon Lunar Eclipse November 30, then a New Moon Solar Eclipse December 14 and a major rare conjunction December 21st, so expect major miracles and unexpected events before the year ends. The year is not over yet.”
According to www.disclosurenews.it we had a major M4.4 solar flare on November 29. (This is an Italian website so you must translate it into English.) This solar flare might sideswipe earth’s magnetic field December 1-2 according to NOAA. The impact could spark a Minor G1-class geomagnetic storm over northern countries such as Canada, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.
One of my light worker friends told me that he and other light worker friends are more or less stepping it up so they can be light warriors because so much light is needed now on the planet. Lorie Ladd does an excellent job of explaining how we can go from the 3D material world of fear, greed, service to self, control, etc. to the fifth dimension. This dimension is of love, harmony, balance, kindness, abundance and all good things.

The Next Three Months
This will also impel us to abandon what needs to be abandoned and to open our SELVES to New Experiences.
It’s Not surprising that many of us are going through end-of-cycle phases, whether in effective relationships or any other situation involving family and work environments.
We are BE-ing called to the NEW, and these three months (November, December, and January) will bring a Strong Push for Great Changes.
Trust the Forces that assist you, dear ones! We are BE-ing more assisted NOW than ever before! Nothing will change the Divine Plans already decreed by the Creative SOURCE.
We are entering a Zone of Space where there is a great amount of Energy capable of drastically altering the vibration of our bodies, thus increasing our Telepathic abilities, and strengthening our Immune System.
However intelligent those who represent the negative forces are, they “let through” this fact when they architected the plan in progress since the plan for Covid-19 is unable to be fully implemented as they wished, because, by crossing this ZONE in the Space, we naturally increase our own immunity.
This occurs thanks to the Crystalline Particles of this specific Zone in the Space that we and the planet are crossing, while Mother Earth continues her journey through the Galaxy.
We will find the Balance and BE sure that this is Not far from our Linear Time.
Even though the media tends to continue to instigate fear, and even though those servants of the negative forces continue arrogantly to deny that their plans have failed, it is evident: We are reaching a NEW STATE of CONSCIOUSNESS so that We can NO Longer return to the Old Ways.
These times are indeed challenging, and many of us have been affected, having lost loved ones through all the chaos and stampede that the dark forces have created.
But, in any case, KNOW that all our efforts and all those who have been most directly affected by the whole situation will BE Honoured by our Trust in the Supreme Creator SOURCE.
Conquering the inner world is the first most crucial step in overcoming the outer one.
These are challenging times, yes, but we had already been warned about it. These are the times for which we were born! To BE the LightHouses in the midst of all the commotion that precedes a Quantum Leap.
All the dirt that had been thrown under the carpet for ages is Now BE-ing Exposed. And we are also having to deal with our own shadows, long kept.
But, KNOW that in No way, we would be alone in the middle of all these moves.
We are the Bravest BEings in the Galaxy for accepting such a Great Challenge to bring LIGHT to the planet, which had been dominated by darkness for a long time.
Our Galactic Families reinforces their Presence with us will BE more active in the coming months, when we will continue to see their SpaceShips in our skies, especially acting in the Cleaning of Toxic Gases that are continuously thrown into our Atmosphere.
We are ALL ONE.
With Sacred LOVE of ONE

Rebellion rising; the people have had enough
Signs of the times—
Large anti-lockdown protests are sweeping across Europe. Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the UK, Poland. The media are trying to put a lid on coverage of these momentous events.
In Southern California, five sheriffs of populous counties (17 million people) are refusing to enforce Governor Newsom’s new curfew order. A petition to recall the governor is gaining steam.
In New York, members of the Chasidic sect held a wedding attended by several thousand people, sitting closely packed without masks.
In a more intimate setting, up close and powerfully personal, gym members and owners in Buffalo, New York, shouted down cops and a public health officer, who had entered the gym because the gathering exceeded the prescribed limit. The gym personnel drove out the cops and followed them, to make sure they left the property.
In Buffalo, protestors came to the house of Erie County Executive, Mark Poloncarz, to express their anger at new lockdown restrictions. The protest was also aimed at New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.
Sheriffs in Fulton and Erie Counties (New York) are refusing to enforce Thanksgiving lockdowns which limit the number of people in private homes.
In various areas of England, police have warned government officials they’re “sitting on a time bomb,” because lockdown rules make it illegal for two or more families to gather together for Christmas—and law-enforcement personnel are permitted to invade homes where violations are occurring. The time bomb is, of course, huge numbers of outraged citizens.
In Australia, Qantas airline CEO Alan Joyce announced that travelers will be able to fly only after receiving the COVID vaccine, once it is approved. Soon afterwards, Joyce stood at a podium at an event to give a speech, and a grizzled Aussie walked up to him and shoved a pie in his face.
Two women saw New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy eating dinner at a restaurant with his family. He was maskless. “You’re such a dick!” one woman told him. Murphy has just extended his state’s lockdown, the ninth time he has done so since March. At his dinner table, Murphy tried to remain calm. He put on his mask.
Andrew Kudrick, the police chief of Howell Township in New Jersey, says he won’t enforce the governor’s “draconian” limit of 10 people for Thanksgiving dinners.
The CDC has told Americans to stay home for Thanksgiving. Last weekend, two million Americans boarded flights.
In a form of silent protest, 300,000 residents of New York have left the city since pandemic restrictions began.
It should be noted that, among the several hundred thousand (or more) Trump supporters who gathered in Washington DC, at a Stop The Steal rally, few people wore masks, and no one paid attention to social distancing regulations.
Across America, without fanfare, pockets of the economy are wide open—no masks, no distancing, no one is paying attention to government regulations.
The walls of lockdown fascism are cracking, in large ways and small. Actually, there is no small. Every act inspired by the fire of freedom counts.

The medicine to love everyone (in Kashmir Shaivism)
In this excerpt from "The Magical Jewel of Devotion in Kashmir Shaivism - Stava Cintamani", by Bhaṭṭanārāyaṇa, Swami Lakshmanjoo uses a unique analogy to explain ignorance and duality, and gives us the medicine to love everyone (in Kashmir Shaivism).
"If you feel that all the embodiment of this whole universe is my own Self, will you hate anybody?
You won’t hate anybody. You will love everyone."

अज्ञानतिमिरस्यैकमौषधं संस्मृतिस्तव
भव तत्तत्प्रदानेन प्रसादः क्रियतां मयि
ajñānatimirasyaikam-auṣadhaṁ saṁsmṛtistava /
bhava tattatpradānena prasādaḥ kriyatāṁ mayi //24//
O Lord Śiva, I have got timira,1 I have got a timira disease in my eyes. I can’t see in an actual way.
You know “timira”?
Timira is rekhā timira roga, it is a disease in the eyes [in which a] line comes just in the center of that pupil. In the pupil, one line comes–to some persons–and it is called “rekhā timira roga”. By that, you will see two; you’ll see two Vireshs, two Shannas.2 This is a kind of disease in the eyes.
Ajñāna, and this is of ignorance; this is a disease of ignorance to see that, “I am one, Denise is another”, “He is my enemy, he is my friend”, all these things. This is the disease. This is the disease in perception.
What is not the disease?
To see everyone as your own Self. If you feel that all the embodiment of this whole universe is my own Self, will you hate anybody? You won’t hate anybody. You will love everyone. Whenever hate comes, it comes from that disease, that disease in your eyes, because you see separate, two things.
ERNIE: Duality.
SWAMIJI: Duality.
And this disease has come in my perception, O Lord–ajñāna timirasyaikam. And there is only one medicine for this, one dose for the removal of this disease, which You have, which You could bestow to me. Otherwise, there is no hope for my cure, I will never get cured from this disease. That [dose] is saṁsmṛtistava, just Your memory. O Lord Śiva, give me that dose of remembering You. Do this favor to me, O Lord Śiva. I want this.3
This is auṣadha. Auṣadham astam is one dose of mixture by which this disease will get vanished. Really, this is a disease, and this disease has spread, you know, in a hundred and thousand and million ways [laughter], in all the one hundred and eighteen worlds.
DENISE: In all the worlds it’s like that?
SWAMIJI: Yes.
____________
1 Lit., dark, gloomy; a class of morbid affections of the coats of the eye.”
2 The son and daughter of John and Denise Hughes.
3 “The dose is the constant remembrance of Your being. This is the only medicine for this blindness of Your being. Please, from time to time, bestow on me that remembrance. If something bad happens in my life sometimes, like a relative dying, please bestow me the power to remember You, not that relative. Then I will feel You have blessed me from all sides.” Ibid.

revealed by Swami Lakshmanjoo.
He is the light of all darkness
"Stava cintāmaṇi is the work of Bhaṭṭanārāyaṇa. Bhaṭṭanārāyaṇa is one of the most important Shaivite masters.
Stava cintāmaṇi means stava - hymns, cintāmaṇi - jewel. Cintāmaṇī jewel is that kind of jewel, i.e. whatever you wish it will come. It is the bestower of all your boons, all your desires. All your desires are fulfilled by that cintāmaṇi; that jewel. And this is the jewelry of that cintāmaṇi of hymns to Lord Śiva. It purifies all your desires and wishes." ~Swami Lakshmanjoo
Devotional hymns have always held an important place in the history of the Monistic teachings of Kashmir Shaivism. The recitation of such devotional hymns is a common part of the daily spiritual practice for many Shaiva aspirants.
Stava Cintāmaṇi, The Magical Jewel of Devotion in Kashmir Shaivism, is a sublime and unique hymn addressed to Lord Shiva, whom the author, Bhaṭṭa Nārāyaṇa, clearly holds as the Supreme Reality. Though highly devotional, these hymns are at the same time practical and deeply philosophical.
The Sanskrit text of the Stava Cintāmaṇi with Kṣemarāja’s commentary was first published in the Kashmir Series of Texts and Studies, Volume X, in Kashmir (1918). This was the text used by Swami Lakshmanjoo in his translation and commentary of this present publication.
Swamiji’s love for devotional hymns is evidenced by the fact that he translated and commented upon the Stava Cintāmaṇi on three occasions.
"He is the Light of all Darkness, all Ignorance of Light. All absence of Light and Presence of Light Have come out from that Light." Swami Lakshmanjoo

प्रसरद्विन्दुनादाय शुद्धामृतमयात्मने ।
नमोऽनन्तप्रकाशाय शंकरक्षीरसिन्धवे ॥३॥
prasaradbindunādāya śuddhāmṛtamayātmane /
namo’nantaprakāśāya śaṅkarakṣīrasindhave //3//
I bow to that Śaṅkara,3 who is just like the ocean of milk, a milk ocean. I bow to that Śaṅkara who is just like a milk ocean, a vast milk ocean, and prasarat bindu nādāya, where there are flows, two-fold flows, of bindu and nāda.
Bindu is prakāśa and nāda is [vimarśa].4 Bindu is I-consciousness; nāda is to observe I-consciousness.5 Consciousness is bindu; “I am consciousness, I am God consciousness,” this is nāda.
For instance, this prakāśa of sūrya (sun), the prakāśa of the light of the moon, [the prakāśa of] the light of fire, it is bindu, but there is no nāda in it, there is no understanding power of that prakāśa. There is prakāśa in the sun, but [the sun] does not know that, “I am prakāśa.” He is just a [star].6 He does not understand that, “I am filled with this prakāśa.”
When there is understanding power, the understanding that, “I am this prakāśa,” that is nāda. Bindu and nāda are both found in God consciousness. In other lights, only bindu is found, not nāda. Nāda is understanding.
Fire is burning but it does not know that, “I am burning.” In the same way, the light of the moon, the light of the sun, they are absolutely unaware of their nature. So there must be, there is, bindu and nāda both in God consciousness.
In the same way, prakāśa and vimarśa is bindu and nāda according to the śāmbhava state. According to śāktopāya, jñāna and kriyā (knowledge and action) will be bindu and nāda. According to āṇavopāya, breathing in and breathing out, in-going breath and out-coming breath, will be bindu and nāda.7 [Bindu and nāda are] inhaling and exhaling from the āṇavopāya viewpoint, and knowledge and action from śāktopāya, and prakāśa and vimarśa from śāmbhavopāya.8 You understand? It is very easy.
Prasarat bindu nādāya, so I bow to that Lord Śiva who is filled with bindu and nāda.
The flows of prakāśa and vimarśa [are] always there according to the śāmbhava state, according to the śākta state, and according to the āṇava state. [In the] āṇava state, what is bindu and nāda?
ERNIE: In-breath and out-breath.
SWAMIJI: Inhale . . . , yes. And śāktopāya?
DENISE: Action and knowledge.
SWAMIJI: Action and knowledge. And śāmbhavopāya?
ERNIE: Prakāśa . . .
SWAMIJI: Prakāśa and vimarśa. Śuddhāmṛtamayātmane, and this is the embodiment of nectar, pure nectar. The purest nectar you will find only in God consciousness. Other nectars you will find in the gods. They have become immortal by that. By using that nectar, they have become immortal in heaven, but immortal only for some particular period. Kṣīṇe puṇye martya lokaṁ viśanti,9 after some [time], say one billion years, they come down again. That nectar, the effect of that nectar, is vanished, is gone. But this nectar, which you find in the state of God consciousness, Lord Śiva, it is immortal nectar. It is real, pure nectar. It will never fade, it will never vanish. That nectar is always remaining, residing, eternal. That is meant by “śuddha amṛta mayātmane.” And namo ananta prakāśāya, and He is the light of all lights, He is the light of all darknesses (all ignorance of light). All absence of light and the presence of light have come out from That light. Śaṅkara-kṣīra-sindhave, and I bow to that Śaṅkara10 who is just like a milky ocean.

4 “In the world of Shaivite philosophy, Lord Śiva is seen as being filled with light. But more than this, Lord Śiva is the embodiment of light and this light is different than the light of the sun, of the moon, or of fire. It is light (prakāśa) with consciousness (vimarśa), and this light with consciousness is the nature of that supreme consciousness, Lord Śiva.” Self Realization in Kashmir Shaivism–The Oral Teachings of Swami Lakshmanjoo, ed. John Hughes (State University of New York Press, Albany, 1995), 3.56-57. See Appendix 2 for an explanation of vimarśa.
5 That is, to be Self-aware.
6 That is, insentient (jaḍa).
7 Bindu (prakāśa) arises from the internal turning point of breath in the heart, while nāda (visarga) arises from the external turning point of the breath, which is twelve finger spaces outside the body.
8 See Appendix 3 for an explanation of the three means (upāyas): śāmbhavopāya, śāktopāya, and āṇavopāya.
