Introduction. My connection to the Cochise Zen Center is that I am The Most Reverend Briggs’s best pupil and the son of the night who has, with Buddha-like light and intuitiveness, declined to be singed except by the gods themselves.

“Did you even take time out to meet your ancestors’ gods before you went chasing moonbeams?”
“No one has ever achieved success while maintaining a high opinion of Americans.”
“The trick to enslaving a people is to downplay their lineage” (Unknown).

Now let’s first knock mainline Buddhism down a peg from the perch upon which it rests in mainstream America. I keep hearing so-called Buddhists (not Buddhas) whine that “existence is pain”. But it’s really being without doing that is pain because it is an imbalance. In other words the Buddhist system (which centers around sitting and doing nothing) is circular and therefore a cult. Of course this being the case they know it too and admit it in such ubiquitous maxims as “Before enlightenment chop wood and carry water; after enlightenment chop wood and carry water” which is as close to an admission that their whole movement is a joke as you should ever expect to hear from a Buddhist to whom I say “To do or not to do sure, but either way do not cease to perceive.” I love the Buddha story, and I have my own transcendence story which isn’t at all like that of the élite class of society which the Buddhist missionary courts and grooms so shrewdly. I mean Buddhism as we know it mostly gets formulated to make the idle rich feel good about mooching off of a slave-system while I’m over here experiencing enlightenment by knowing that everything is an analogy, so it’s okay, because at worst we’ll just require lengthier introductions to our culture’s literary corpus down the road.

Now to deal with this “Seon” (Korean “Zen”) codependent bond between washed-up Boomer-techies and people who think all rich people are wise. (Subtitle: “I’ve got a sangha and I know how to use it!”)

Yes, this blog post is both a social critique and a caveat emptor or “buyer beware”, but that does not make it a rant. (Or does it? Read on and then you can be the judge.)

THE “COMPASSION BRAND” AND WHY WE KEPT FALLING FOR IT

(Related: the freedom brand.) All who understand how each rite (and all that is choreographed is rite and religion) predisposes the citizen for a particular social system knows roughly the sort of thing Zen centers “compassionately” set their unsuspecting sangha-goers up for, and the rest of us will just have the fun surprise of finding out. So welcome to Intellectual Class Warfare 2.0: Revenge of the (Also Ultimately Disposable) Nerds.

Though my experience of the various things advertising themselves as Zen or trance centers/centres (and even the less doctrinal Krishnamurtian Springwater Center) is by no means extensive, I’ll just note at the outset that I’m yet to darken the doorstep of a “Zen center” (whether this be covertly Japanese or even more covertly Korean for that matter—two countries we can assuredly still thank for the computers and the pollution—and the name of that other country in Asia escapes me at the moment, I want to say Dragonia?) where I didn’t feel like I was being (thank heaven quite mistakenly) regarded as prey, far from finding a credible “haven of serenity”. And then if you read up you can learn that Zen is the most malleable form of Buddhism in which if you’re the elder of your own sangha this becomes your own personal psych lab for frankly your crazy cracker self to work your psychopathic sorcery on those you consider a crowd of lesser beings than yourself! This whole Zen fad really does appear to be a rabbid corporatist’s game. Indeed as with psychotherapy I’m willing to bet that most who are familiar Zen…know that there are parts of that particular drama show that keep getting left out of every single Hollywood movie as millions of real people (non-élites) languish, daily muted, denied, and canceled by Big Media (“Big Compassion, Inc.” a branding strategy [let me guess: for the greater good?] that the DNC has all but exhausted) in whose hive mind trap all references to Zen are as religiously typecast as any studio brat or prima donna in history, a played-out 90s plot device at best. And all these non–TV-friendly parts taken together fit into a scale-tiled dragonic underbelly whose weaknesses the skilled traveler’s very survival depends on studying as carefully as Bilbo his Smaug. (How pleasant it must be to be a Buddhist cleric and not a Catholic one, at least on this front, like carte blanche or very nearly so, including [with nearly all non-Zen sites] for discrimination against perceived outsiders [such as American nationals] in the case of your more ethnarchical “public” temples that are built to serve refugees and other immigrants—oh and only them: sorry your ancestors were worked and impoverished here all for naught, but don’t you dare call it the corporation-serving Great Replacement that it so obviously is or you’re immediately be labeled fearful or hateful simply for wanting to determine your own life and to assemble with whom you wish.) But what if even worse than not offering clarity they actually muddy the waters through gaslighting then protect their image by making out that it’s all the fault of you the psych patient or Zen novice? Will the last words you hear from these beacons of darkness be “I’m sorry you feel that way” as the cynical predators circle the wagons leaving you high and dry as they’ve done for æons? I think as you read this blog post you’ll find yourself admitting that yes this is precisely the breed of men who would do that, are in the habit of doing that, and will indeed do that even to special little you—but hey, see if you don’t.

A general note: organized religious clergy may speak of wisdom if you’re lucky, but they obviously fear and hate haruspicy, prophesyings, and all divinatory arts.

As with those “great world faiths” or those religious systems that have functioned as ritual channels between the villager (docile) and the emperor (“insightful”; read Papal Magic for more Western examples), it is tempting to think that, while I resonate from my core with the story of the Buddha (embedded below), these self-appointing (and self-important) Zen clerics may simply not have much to offer me personally in my spiritual journey, a fact that, cringeworthily enough, has thus far failed to dampen their apostolic zeal as it were, that is to say their enthusiasm for insisting that I (whoever I may be, maybe the “weaker” the better) do for sure “need” them (always for reasons most vague!), and I found this striking and again strikingly contrary to popular impressions and indeed cinematic/propagandic representations of Zen Buddhism (upshot: they don’t deserve their popularity nor any place in our culture until they’ve shown their competency in speaking in the language of said culture [and not only of its moneyed and parasitic brats]) which in particular you would expect to be well perhaps just a little bit small-z zen (sense of “chill”) and if I may small-b buddhist (sense of “detached”). But to be fair our Korean Seon sangha perhaps tellingly makes no secret that their emphasis is on “compassion” rather than on “detachment” or “enlightenment”. And we Americans probably naïvely hear the phrase Buddhist missionary as an oxymoron despite the Silk Road having been a key circuit for Buddhist preachers centuries before Socrates and far beyond Palestine (to the west), inspiring many a late-ancient Mediterranean myth and tutoring what would become Pharisees and later rabbis in how to subject ob-servant Jews to their strange and bizarre mind tricks in the power vacuum left by the lack of centralized authority as with a kingdom, until under Judah Ha-Nasi they began to shift their role into that of, to put it crassly, lords over the Jewish ghetto and a new class of Roman citizen. (It is important to note that Rome and not Judæa systematized usury. And do not miss the fact that the Zen clergyman is historically an agent of empire and likely as routinely a sex predator as the Catholic one, because this will be key as we explore what they may be up to here in America.)

A certain (Elder?) Barry Briggs (see also perhaps a Mr Edward Briggs the rather elusive and notoriously sexually improper, wealthy, and toxically influential proprietor at Poco Restaurant) in Old Bisbee, Ariz., has proved no kind of exception to this rule, and my experiences at the “Cochise Zen Center” (which should really be called the Bisbee Seon Center since Zen is a Japanese term and Cochise is a completely separate Arizona town!) have given me pause, in the wider context of all the recent national bickering, to consider this highly assertive Briggs Family of Bisbee as perhaps more than merely stridently counter-national political partisans but perhaps, given their brusque edge, as even assets or agents in a spyworld sense and/or cutthroat oligarchs, either way spoiled adult-children. This blog post hopes to fearlessly and jovially (joy is their kryptonite) explore this nagging hypothesis (Are they at bottom a cell of Red assets?) toward brainstorming possible ways in which a healthy community might (by way of an analogy) metabolize a religious system with which even late-ancient sages contended as we see in the Upanishads and the somewhat newer Bhavagad Gita, despite which Buddhist methods and thought processes, notably in the form of rabbinical Judaism (see the Solomon myth and the really undeniably pessimistic biblical Book of Ecclesiastes), has made itself kind of a class within Rome, Christendom, and modern Western Europe (in which the once dominant groups are often referred to within the yeshiva [a rabbinical seminary] not only as goyim [meaning gentiles] but even as Amaleq, giving rise to speculations of a Loxistic enmity [genocidal undertones obvious to the astute observer] between Talmudic Judaists and, as it were, their White devil). To boot, several years back Dr Henry Abramson of the (anglophonically named) Congregation Young Israel, a pessimist who has made no secret of his opinion that Judaism as a whole has been steadily declining in “spiritual excellence” from the time of Moses down to our own, also noted that two-thirds of US-born Buddhists are ethic Jews, an observation one could with very little effort behold on full display at, for example, the Cochise Seon Center. To what extent has the Zen center like the lecture hall become a substitute for the synagogue this blogger will decline to speculate, but in lieu of all that without further ado:

SIX THINGS I REALLY WISH I KNEW BEFORE EVER BRAVING THE GULCH
TO WALK TO THE “COCHISE ZEN (TECHNICALLY SEON) CENTER”
or SEON AS GATEWAY DRUG TO JUDEO-MARXISM
(or I’D LIKE TO SOLVE: WHAT IS MENTAL TAE KWON DO, ALEX?)

1. Firstly I wish I had known that it’s incrementally policed, Carrollianly enough and obviously conditioning you to do things mindlessly because the group is doing it (reminiscent of the old waiting room bell trick), that all attendees must join the others in chanting in Korean with no notation or translation somehow (because there is not one solitary ethnic Korean in the group, which superficially looks like naked cultural appropriation [á la Rainbow Family] that could offend Koreans but in the final analysis could be understood, in today’s geopolitical climate, as actually a kind of minimal-effort cultural colonization on behalf of Far-east Asia—with its world tech capitals and its isolationist strongholds—and so they really appear to be “compassionately” hailing the decline and fall of the West with more visible enthusiasm than that with which they pursue any apparently genuine mystical pursuits [which I’ve been able to gather from their hysterically unyielding refusal to even entertain discussion of say Gnosis or any of the wealth of esoteric, Qabbalistic, or other Occidental paths]). (Search “B.I.T.E. model” for apolitical, unbiased cult dynamic analysis.) Why do they need so badly for me to hate or forget my ancestors, and what in the world is this if not colonization? That Cochise County’s Seon community amount to so many worms relishing the decay of Western civilization there seems to be no effort toward denial but quite the contrary. (In short these appear to be some rabidly self-hating Jews, Germans, and other Europeans, even if they’re not exactly the kind of “self-hating Jew” that the Zionist establishment seems obsessed with warning us to disregard [David Cole] lest they get stuck in our heads the sorts of facts that endanger or even savage their delicate/occult narrative in which they’ve invested just so damn much money to get us to invest just so damn much emotion!)

2. (Also un-Zionistically) sangha staff don’t allow any kind of weapons yet display no signage (which [for firearms at any rate] routinely include the “pursuant to” clause) in contrast to what all honest/reputable establishments do in such cases where these should choose not to allow firearms inside their doors. (Literally nobody in Bisbee forbids all weapons except, let’s just say what we’re all thinking, narcissistic cult leader Seon Elder Barry Briggs [혜문 or Hye Mun meaning “Door of Light” ironically] with his red-flag “of course” language and his vague “per the Seon community” phrasing when he shows not the least interest in how the Bisbee community functions and has made no apparent effort to address himself to it but only to gaslight and divide its members like the hard-boiled Red shill he is, i.e. the toxic kind of clergy that serves his own grandeur and his aspiring world imperial court by serving “the organization almighty” rather than those whom he leads, lectures, and tries to scare by means of grossly polemical rhetoric with its thin veneer of sanctimony.) When this suspicious “miscommunication” arises (as must happen frequently, see also the “point” about GoogleMaps below) they claim this policy (which again they so agilely dodge articulating much less advertising) is all about “safety”, but then again note that they then also have built their center/sangha as a “dead zone” that blocks mobile phone service as they coldbloodedly burn initiates’ arms with incense sticks (aggravated by gaslighting them into associating such a thing with their cornerstone concept [or perhaps merely sanctimonious buzzword] compassion)—well as our forebears would say that just don’t figure! I mean call me stupid but what exactly is Zen in burning the arms of your psychic prey? I mean would it really surprise you to figure out tomorrow that this whole time they were using all that quiet sitting to hack into your deepest fears, given all the policing they do of that that’s, in psychological terms, beyond all reason? Let’s just face it: they have way too much leeway and way too much autocracy (Wait, did the blogger really say it?) to be credibly representing the ancient traditions or even the organization with any real exterior consistency, mostly just all guided by a common endgame of overriding the past and paving the way for a coming soft-coup! (Ever notice how Barry loves to yammer on coldly about how well Zen does in times of institutional transition? Don’t miss the thing that lurks and licks its lips because the day after tomorrow Barry will be the one telling the People’s Chabadnik Republic of America commissioner who maybe gets to live assuming they’re willing to bear up under greater rigors—you’ll wish you’d never heard of a motherfucking sangha by the end because it’ll be Sharia Law on crack, and they’ll call you Noahide because one was the dark horse and the other was the Nazgûl!) And so Cochise Seon Center (alt. sangha) staff routinely (and insanely) neglect to provide any informed consent whatsoever on these matters, apparently opting for a psychologically abusive (passive-aggressive) approach to force-modifying prey’s behavior rather than show any genuine concern for prey’s personal safety should prey ever have an emergency inside the sangha (many regulars are elderly), again the word safety clearly being loaded here as nothing more than an improbable excuse for something for which they clearly have no credible pretext. (We have to consider the possibility that, sharks that they are, they don’t even know what emergency preparedness involves, standard Cochise County good old boy trash. No one who actually cares about “safety first” would consider suspending the Second Amendment anywhere, but in particular in the increasingly ganglandish Zacatecas Canyon neighborhood!) Imagine hating freedom so much that you’re willing to sacrifice the public welfare and even safety to stigmatize it, to play the most tired word games to achieve the goal of being the doomed king of a garbage heap, which is what the communist intellectual is. So apparently an airtight jargon bubble composed of pure bullshit to say the least: despite being tax-exempt this really looks to me like it could be yet another classic Southwestern US cult fit for an evening news special report (if they still have those)!

3. As you’ve probably guessed already, yes, everybody who’s welcomed at the Cochise Seon Center either leans atheist-left or keeps their big mouths shut (often frankly too caught up in their own visible and appallingly unaddressed inner turmoil [drama respelled dharma?] to the point where they demonstrate no ability distinguish their head from their ass), but note that per the sangha elder these consistently Democratic (Party US or People’s Republic of Korea)–favorable tendencies are all a matter of “ethos” since they’re “apolitical”. (Reread that last part until the circular reasoning that’s operating here really sinks in. And this may actually shed some timely light on why these Korean-style “Zen” [Seon?] Buddhist centers or sanghas don’t make it onto a lot the lists of harmful cults compiled by our stateside “research institutes” despite all these bright-red flags 🇰🇵 since the clinical industry end of psychology [no secret here] is so far left that it’s almost right again, bested only by the infectious disease laboratory, all sectors palpably saturated with partisanship and rife with hypocrisy, ready, willing, and able to stick anything into the arm of any child as required for their public school factory training “education”. [If in reading this you’re experiencing cognitive dissonance, by the way, just bear in mind that perhaps true liberation comes from abstract thinking rather than from mindlessness and from grounding {i.e. earth-centering} rather than so-called “transcendence”.])

4. Oddly sangha staff can’t seem to get their location right on GoogleMaps even though their elder is a former pirate of the Silicon Valley or whatever (@icloud.com, et cetera).

5. In case it wasn’t already apparent, yes, sangha staff (Barry) does indeed showcase some textbook megalomania, a just fantastic sense of one’s own importance, apparently drunk with a monotonously repeated (gonged-in) belief that there can be no inner steadiness in the absence of such-and-such specific practices, which again would appear to include chanting in some unknown tongue without sheet music. (“𝐓𝖍𝖔𝖚 𝖒𝖚𝖘𝖙 𝖕𝖗𝖆𝖈𝖙𝖎𝖈𝖊” [where the term practice is code for a specific style of meditation] is just drilled into all present [but it’s totally not an attachment, sure].) Odd when you consider that they’re exempt from taxation (Holy crap, it’s that same exact thing that, together with sexual depredation, we enlightened secularists hate most about churches and maybe mosques but never synagogues or sanghashrams!), meaning that they operate under the same auspices as other religious groups presumably including other exclusivist/exceptionalist (ex [hanc] ecclesiam nulla salus, et cetera) groups, indicative that there is on some overarching level an agenda to divide the American nation (supposing such exists) along ideological lines (ultimately with an eye to carving US up for easier colonization to benefit B.R.I.C.S. or Second-world industry).

6. In sum the Cochise Seon Center is a very scary and confusing place—functionally a spy network, a hardcore-leftist asset, and a sleeper cell with a religious front and cover story but then abusing their religious authority to stress certain emphases within that religious system that consistently nudge its jargon-tenderized prey toward the same geopolitical goals every single time (which characterization then ends up doing double-duty as the most obvious explanation for their candidly bizarre rigidity)—that seems possibly more intent on transforming US into Asian-style communists (they really felt the sting of their failure viz-à-viz Russia, so there may yet be hope for US) than on really helping US (whom I’ll just say that I don’t think they even see as people—much less as a people—at all!) in reaching Our People’s own true perhaps Atlantean enlightenment? Now it is important for the unwary reader to note that in communist newspeak the term community is a dog whistle that, to the radicalized sleeper cell, need no longer mean anything approaching your and my idea of “human specimens independently reaching the same conclusion” but is Rabbi-Marxist code for “an ego-mass under our spell” (itself tellingly reliant on anachronistic references because it’s as irrelevant as it was the day it was hatched in an atmosphere of shall we say an ingenious level of hypocrisy, namely the perennially thieving and chaotic “home” of the late great Karl Marx whose writings are more grimoire than scientific theory from a deceptively dark age when people tried to snow a hardworking public by disguising morality [in this case a morality outlined by a slovenly bohemian with some lingering apocalyptic fantasies {about his dead-certain “end of history” which of course serves as the magic island in Marx’s logic where morality and economics are suddenly sciences and all of Marx’s non-reality premises are validated in a kind of deus ex machina turn of events since after all “atheists” should be allowed their own (neo-Hasidic) creation and an apocalypse same as you and me} as a kind of bad hangover from when he was being raised to be an Evangelical Lutheran and wrote a love sonnet to a neighbor the titular “pale maiden”] as “science” [all comfortably predating psychoanalysis and all the victim-gaslighting that would come with that]). Now to be fair what we all must realize that when you’re the founder of a Jewish denomination like Marx was there is absolutely no room to stop and question the factual bases of the gospel you’re preaching, no way man, you just grow that beard out and keep that right hand hidden! (Like Napoleon with his “reason”, like Marx with his “science”! To learn more sign up for my community college course Covert Death Cults 101. [Kidding, they don’t want you seeing these patterns because they’re in on the surprise!])

And so, to my dear neighbors, as someone who has trained myself to think like a spy and a mystic (a self-taught counterintelligence agent for the public if you please) with an eye toward a stable, nature-balanced, and tranquil society (so none of this sardonic suburban Boomer crap whatsoever), these are the sorts of things I enjoin you to take notice of in our religious, ideological, political, and civic misleaders (so deceptively coordinated with one another in their green room of empty costumes which they zip each other into) before you find out the hard way that I was right all along. I would say at the very least that the West needs the basedness or groundedness or well-roundedness of Hindu-Gnosticism to balance out the leaven or just off-the-rails pomposity of Budho-Rabbinicalism. For the sake of real balance, and all depending on your particular heritage, perhaps you’ll consider spending some quality time brushing up on Judæa between 200 B.C. and A.D. 100 and the wealth of Judaisms and Mediterranean schools of mysticism that predate organized (under the Roman system) Judæo-Christo-Islam: check out the Carmelites, the Qabbalists, the Sethians, the Mandæans, the Essenes, the Merkabists, the Zoroastrians, the Manichæans, the Mithraists, the Alchemists, etc., mainly I think so that you can gain an understanding of why these key “religious” terms enjoy such (occult) power over people’s minds (Hint: one “Bible” for example contains phrasing that references multiple as it were mystical languages!), since it seems to be in the act of analyzing the mind without posturing or judging that I overcome the pranksters and see clearly so as to live inspired. (Yes, you can, and I have seen it!) No child can be told per se to grow up and no boozer to become temperate, and I do realize that some will have to be hurt enough times (in the case of Bisbeeans apparently by gaslighting-happy persons named Gibbs or whatever) before they finally evolve to being able to recognize the appeal of, as it were, the Stoic path. (Or for modern Western Buddhas and biblionecra [or books of the dead] read Swedenborg, Schopenhauer, et cerera.)

There is a higher kind of wisdom that looks just like folly to those blinded by ill-gotten prosperity. Seek ye out this higher wisdom.

YES, I ALSO HAVE PRACTICAL IDEAS TO FLOAT

Korea, you may have guessed, is being pommeled by the black name badge cavalry whose organization keeps changing their name. We can help each other. (Read The Angel and the Sorcerer.)

Did you know you’re already walking the path and that it could all be down to perceiving it? As you go through your day ask your own inner self what is the inner (ritual/symbolic) meaning of all the things there, and see if that unfurls everything before your eyes.
