Is there a difference between etheric energy from humans and etheric energy from other sources?

I've been re-reading your dreamwidth series on radionics that mentioned earth pipes for introducing life force to the ground for crop growth, Leyden jars for concentrating and storing life force, and devices such as the Hieronymus Machine that seem to be able to manipulate the life force's compatibility with various tasks.

The inner Weird Tales author in me notices that there are several classes of cryptids such as vampires, succubi, and even ordinary humans who feed on the life force of other people for various reasons. I'm wondering whether the various classes of energy pests are obligated to make a nuisance of themselves preying on people or whether a mad scientist might be able to do something like attach an earth pipe to a Hieronymus Machine, probably in the presence of a standing stone to introduce the solar force to the area and guard against depletion, and let well behaved energy pests feed off of the resultant life energy in return for good behavior.

Okay JMG, I hope you agree this question is appropriate for Magic Monday, first the backstory:

If you haven’t heard of Peanut the Squirrel and Fred the Raccoon, you’ve been under a rock for the last 24 hours.

Peanut was rescued at age 5 weeks when his mother was killed by a car. A man named Mark Luongo, who now runs a licensed animal rescue shelter in NY state, saved and nursed him. Mark eventually tried to re-introduce Peanut back to the wild, but Peanut couldn’t hack it, so Mark took Peanut into his home as a house pet where he thrived. (I understand a similar story applies for Fred the Raccoon). Peanut became an internet sensation, with an Instagram account of seven million (?!?!) followers, becoming a mascot who served as a fund-raising dynamo for the animal shelter. There are numerous vids of Peanut’s playful, affectionate antics; they are really touching. This went on for 7 years!

Someone anonymously reported Peanut to health authorities (I’m not clear to me whether it was NY state authorities, Federal authorities, or both), on the grounds that the animals are rabies vectors, so a team of 6-10 agents, a SWAT team I gather, raided Mr. Luongo’s house for 5 hours, seized those pets and euthanized them to “test for rabies”. During the raid, officers demanded to see the immigration papers for Mr. Luongo’s wife!

The internet has gone ballistic with outrage. E.g. it’s made headlines on Zerohedge, see here:

and that’s just for openers.

This story has gone more viral than anything I can recall.

What I find odd is how this ties in to (and even flips?) attitudes about Trump vs the Democratic Party. Here is a sample of commentary:

“Avenge Peanut. Vote for Trump”
“This is what tyranny looks like”
“Peanut should have identified as a Venezuelan gang member, he would
have [been] let go immediately”

“ ‘This is how John Wick started…'. Exactly. FAFO”
“Yes this is when you know the nanny state has gone insane.”
“Government overreach has gotten so crazy, now we need Trump to protect the squirrels. This is NUTS”
“I hope this blows up enough for Trump and Vance to get word of it
and speak out on it. This really highlights the clown show that
NY is right now.”
“Justice for Peanut 🇺🇸 . Vote Trump.”
“Blame the democratic policies”
“One more reason to vote Trump, protect the pets.”
“This story is the best expose of who we are dealing with.”
“I never voted red. I did yesterday”
“Thank Kamala and her goons”
“I hope Trump hears about this and makes one Epic meme out of it!”
“When a pet squirrel and Raccoon [are viewed] more of a threat than
Venezuelan gangs.”

“I hope this tragic story opens people’s eyes.
I have lived in a communist country and this is how they
behaved. They will not just take away your pets, but they will
take everything you have including the people in your family.
Vote them out and take back your control before it is too late.”

“JE SUIS PEANUT”
“Democrats killed Peanut”
“They should have said squirrel identifies as undocumented migrant.”
“It's what the party of tolerance and joy is all about”

“If they will kill a squirrel to test for rabies, what will prevent
them from killing people to test for COVID?”

“sad, but perhaps the last straw that breaks the camels back & makes
the difference in the election. how ironic if it were to be”

"I fear that all that we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and
fill him with a terrible resolve".

There’s a cartoon graphic at the top of this link, maybe you can post it JMG.

And I just read a report/rumor that the Trump campaign plans a meeting soon with Mark Luongo.

This whole scenario wouldn’t make credible fiction. Yet here we are. Could it be a psyop to distract attention from Israel’s military activities in Gaza and Lebanon?

So JMG, there has to be some occult factor in all this; What’s your take? Also, what do you think this may portend?

I’ve wondered for a while given how closely the endocrine glands seem to be related to the energy centres, if it is possible to attain different spiritual states by deliberately altering hormones, and if some of the weird lifestyles that certain spiritual paths require or encourage are intentional efforts to adjust hormone levels (admittedly, likely without always knowing that this is why the practices work). I think I might have found one of these: namely, a lot of the habits of monks around the world seem to be designed to force insulin levels down to unnaturally low levels.

The reason I’m looking into this is because I recently realized I was likely either diabetic or fast heading that way, and decided I wanted to use a set of lifestyle changes to fix things rather than deal with the medical system. Type II diabetes, the form I was developing, is a disease with a pretty well understood cause: insulin is forced up to such unnaturally high levels for long enough that the body loses the ability to function properly. Certain tissues stop responding properly, which forces the hormone level up further, which causes a host of issues if that positive feedback loop is not broken. The obvious solution then was to use lifestyle changes to force insulin down, hard, in order to give my body a chance to bring insulin levels back into the normal range. I was surprised at how much of that was essentially “Live like a monk”.

Insulin is secreted mostly in response to blood sugar, which can be forced down by fasting, both over the course of a day and over longer time periods, and by eating smaller, lighter meals. The habit in many monasteries of eating only once or twice a day, and also the habit of regular extended fasting is in fact one of the major ways known to hack insulin and push it down. Insulin levels also depend on sensitivity of liver tissues and muscles, and thus on how much food is being eaten in one sitting (which the liver has to process) and the amount of moderate aerobic exercise (which causes muscles to burn glucose they then replenish when given the chance). The common European monastic habits of doing hard physical labor, or the Indian monastics who walk from city to city, deplete the muscles, and make them far more sensitive to insulin. Avoiding sweet foods, especially paired with simple, lighter meals, another common monastic habit also keeps insulin down by means of keeping pulses of food, especially sugar, out of the system, thus reducing how high it ever needs to go, a key factor in keeping the liver able to process blood sugar.

The liver is also affected by essentially all mind altering substances, and cannot absorb nearly as much sugar when it is breaking them down, and thus the near universal monastic habit of limiting them makes perfect sense in this light; while two which are commonly used as spiritual aids, caffeine and nicotine, both push insulin down despite this: caffeine by boosting metabolism, nicotine by suppressing appetite enough to reduce reduce either food intake or the normal cues to conserve energy, or in some cases both. (Tobacco was marketed as a weight loss drug for quite a while as a result)

While it does not contain much sugar as a general rule, meat also triggers insulin, because it contains certain amino acids that that the body uses as a cue for protein consumption; with protein being converted into sugar when consumed in levels beyond the modest amount needed for protein synthesis, this insulin trigger helps manage blood sugar levels when the protein is converted into glucose. Vegetarian sources of protein do not contain these in the same quantities, and so they do not trigger nearly as strong an insulin response. Once more, monasteries all over the world tend to encourage vegetarian diets, no matter what the normal diet of their community is.

There are also at least a half dozen other common monastic habits (ranging from exposure to the elements to waking before dawn for prayer) that seem designed to help with lowering insulin levels; but at this point this is already quite a long comment, so I'm going to leave them out.

a) Do you think it’s possible that there is something to this idea of monkish habits being a means of accessing certain spiritual states by means of intentionally pushing insulin down to unusually low levels?

b) If forcing insulin down to unnaturally low levels is part of what makes monastic environments so powerful for spirituality, then do you think it’s also possible that part of the reason that Americans seem so spiritually dull compared to other societies, both historically and in other nations, might be related to this? If I wanted to force insulin up as high as possible I’m not sure I could do a better job than the standard American lifestyle; it’s a strong enough trend, and this sort of high insulin is damaging enough to human health, I’ve come to suspect it might actually be intentional as a means of ensuring profits for the medical industry...

I had a very alarming encounter with I suppose, intrusive thoughts recently.

I was doing a stove seasoning of my carbon steel wok, when my wife, who I note is normally a sensible and level headed person without any known mental conditions, came up and gave me a hug. Then she got a little glazed over, and reached for the middle of the smoking pan with an "i want to touch it..." I slapped her hand away with a NO! and she looked shocked, and asked why??, to which I did the water splash test with the beads of water skipping about. Then she wandered off.

This really scared me, and I was wondering if this was a spiritual problem with a spiritual remedy?

I just have some articles to share that I saved:
