Mankind is supposed to have evolved from apes. As you probably noticed,
that may be the case for me, given how much I love bananas, peanuts and
coconut! Never mind the clichés, I devised this impromptu last-minute
cake for a birthday party, combining two previously published recipes (Chocolate Bliss for filling and
Birdie's Favourite Treat for crust). And it was absolutely delicious. However, I would recommend serving small portions as it is very nourishing and high in fat.
Ingredients
Serves 8:
Crust
- 88 g almonds - 36 g raisins - 74 g pitted dates
Filling
- 225 g cashews - 100 ml water - 60 g coconut oil - 1 pinch salt - 2 tbsp peanut butter - 2 tbsp agave syrup - ¼ tsp vanilla powder
Topping
- shelled peanuts (unsalted) - dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Soak dates in hot water for about 10 minutes to soften them up. Drain and process with remaining crust ingredients to a lumpy texture and press onto the bottom of a 18-centimetre diameter spring-form pan. Chill in the freezer while you're making the filling.
Mix all the ingredients for the topping, adding water progressively while processing to a thick smooth dough. Spread over base, tapping the mould to remove any trapped air bubbles, and then smoothen top with a spatula. Freeze for 1 or 2 more hours, then remove from mould.
Coarsely chop peanuts and spread on top of the cake.
Sprinkle with a handful of chocolate chips and store in the fridge with a lid on top.
NOTE: After demoulding, you may add a coating of dark chocolate melted with a tablespoon of oil before adding chopped peanuts, but you will need to put it back in the freezer to harden for an additional 15 minutes. If you don't like peanuts, check out the recipes mentioned in the introduction for a full chocolate variant.
Snake: Just because you're embarking on a new cycle doesn't mean you should masquerade as the Ouroboros. You ain't no riddlesnake.Goat: The good news is that no scapegoating will ever get your goat. Goat this!Dog: No more cute puppy antics. Bring out the wolf within. Bare some fangs and get some respect.Pig: Don't go hog wild. You don't want to be the piggy in the middle.Tiger: Oh my, is global clowning responsible for this mess? Rabbit: Bunny darling, you must have a tile loose. Don't you know Patriots are going down the rabbit hole?
NOTE: In theory, these horoscopes are pure fantasy. In effect, any self-fulfilling prediction would be totally coincidental.
Horse: Watch out for unknightly attitudes. Rough riders will hear it straight from the horse's mouth.Monkey: Stop aping around. Your monkey business is driving us bananas.Rooster: Don't chicken out.You've been henpecked and now you're walking on eggs.Rat: Since the cat's been ratted on, you can safely get your greens and enjoy your mousehole.Ox: Grab the bull by the horns. Stop letting yourself cowed into all those things.Dragon: You look out of steam and out of breath. The good news is you won't be banned from LEZ's.
To be continued: more signs soon...

What if our reality were an invisible prison? A perfect structure designed to trap souls in a endless loop?
The Matrix is based on two fundamental shapes: the cube and the sphere.
The 6-faced cube is the structure of incarnation in a carbon body (referred to as the infamous 666, which actually stands for the 6 electrons, 6 neutrons and 6 protons of the carbon atom). It entraps the soul into an immutable programme with its own physical laws, biology and psyche. A digital prison where everything is coded.
The sphere represents the global astral, the vibratory programming of every incarnation. The influence of the stars, predetermined destiny... A predefined cycle in which individuals play their role over and over again.
Everything runs into a continuous loop. Hours, seasons, years, civilisations, human lives.. Birth, growth, decline, death... and back to square one.
But what happens at the angles of the cube?
These breakpoints, where the energy flow is disrupted, are prone to programme failures. Defects, bugs, experiences defying all logic within the matrix. A potential escape route, maybe?
When we leave our body and die, another illusion lies ahead. A holographic airlock at the junction of the two worlds, controlled by the Archons. A deceptive light set up to lure the soul into returning.
The escape route is not to be found within the Cube or the Sphere... but within the hidden loopholes of the system.
No sooner had I completed my first task than it was already time for me to say goodbye to my fairground booth in Paris and head off to Candyland, swapping my gulliball for (elephant pink) gumballs. The card for February is the 2 of Hearts, naturally related to (astral) love, but also to deception.
Sugar Pink
Inevitably, whenever we think of the colour pink, we associate it with the rosy romance of sentimental fiction and the watered-down views of inflated positivism (polarisation) that would rather look at the world through rose-coloured glasses than see it as it really is.
Incidentally, the colour pink in English does not take its name from the rose flower, as it does in French, but from the flowers called pinks of the genus Dianthus, a garden plant of various colours with ‘perforated' (scalloped) petals, sometimes featuring small dots resembling 'small eyes' (from Dutch pinck oogen) or half-closed eyes, blinking (pinken).
Unfortunately, this matrix is no bed of roses. Sometimes (oftentimes), it stinks so bad you can't even smell the roses. And when they wither and dry, only the thorns remain and the rosy cloud may quickly take on a darker shade of bleak or even go full black.
That's when things ‘turn sour’ and we grow ‘bitter’. We need to mellow out. With sugar. Revert to a hypnotic state (sugar is highly addictive) on a candy pink cloud (for shrinks, the colour of dreams) with all the unicorns, angels, fairies and pink elephants.
At least in Western cultures, for in India, Hindu mythology associates the colour pink with Ganesha, the elephant-headed god, a symbol of wisdom and unification of the divine and the human.
Succubus Pink
In this matrix, it is important to understand that over-optimism and romanticising are used to manipulate and control human perception, so as to disconnect the soul from the harsh reality of its true condition.
Life is a rose, each petal an illusion and each thorn a reality.
Alfred de Musset
'Looking through rose-coloured glasses' is therefore an emotional trap encouraging people to remain in their illusory comfort bubble, which prevents them from seeing the true nature of their matrix prison. This is how pink Care Bears refuse to see the corruption, manipulation and dysfunctions of the world so as to ‘enjoy life’. And in so doing, they find themselves in a state of emotional dependency and subservience, which fuels the archontic forces behind the matrix.
For contrary to popular misconception, loosh, a term popularised by Robert Monroe, who pioneered research in out-of-body experiences — which is the subtle energy produced by human emotions and reactions to life situations — is not limited to negative emotions. Any polarised emotion (whether positive or negative) may be exploited, as long as it is intense and generates strong reactions. Although Archons are often associated with negative emotions, they are essentially opportunistic energy parasites. They want to keep humans trapped in the emotional matrix where they constantly produce polarised emotions, whether intense joy or deep pain.
So romantic rapture, naive bliss, artificially induced elation, and blind worship are also exploitable energy sources. Actually, this type of loosh is especially valued, for humans are more productive when they are stimulated by positive emotions as they can fuel the matrix without questioning their conditioning.
The trap lies in polarisation. Archons feed on any polarised emotion, whether positive or negative. The real antidote is to achieve conscious emotional neutrality.
Archons cannot feed on sovereign love nor on the quietness that inner joy provides, for balanced energy does not produce any exploitable loosh.
Rather than looking through candy pink-coloured lenses, it's therefore best to take a clear-headed look from a neutral, balanced perspective, without falling for the illusions of the matrix. Lucid vs Cupid.
The Rose Within
However, the colour pink is also charged with special symbolism which has been widely misused to limit its scope and reduce it to a symbol of triviality and meek delicacy. Hence, in some esoteric traditions, the soul is surrounded by a pink energy field, acting as a vibratory shield against archontic intrusions.
Everybody knows That what my lover sows Kills the roses…
Also, alchemically-speaking, the rose flower, the pink colour takes its name from in most Latin languages, does not reflect a naive view of reality, but rather the process of unveiling hidden truths.
Actually, the rose is a central, universal symbol that can be found in many cultures and spiritual trends (alchemy, Christian mysticism, Gnosticism, etc.). It is tied to complex symbolism and a number of fundamental concepts, as it is supposed to represent the soul; sovereignty (where the soul needs to outwit the illusions imposed by both Adonai, the artificial intelligence of the matrix, and the archons, in order to regain its original freedom); and stands as the guardian of the secret of the soul's pure and unaltered core of information, where the archontic matrix pushes humans to seek answers outside rather than within.
In other words, the rose could represent the access to the neutral data of the soul, which is located outside the matrix and beyond the reach of archontic forces. The legendary bag we let the kitty out of, that contains the hidden master key to open all doors including the most tamper-proof locks.
So when do we stop kidding ourselves, send the whole gang of blind psychos packing, and finally escape from this gaol?
Three well-defined deceptions are being used to keep mortals captive and cut off from Life:
Love
The archontic bonanza luring and drowning people into an ocean of 'unconditional' love that even the toughest men can't resist. Watch out for people who talk about love, for most of the time, it is a manipulative tactic.
The cosmic principle of love is utmost respect, period. Fully grasping this should spare you countless disappointments stemming from astral fake love.
Fear
Such impression may either freeze the mind of people or make them take off like rabbits. When we are scared, we automatically close our eyes and shrink back; energy-wise, fear makes us small.
This is a metaphor, but symbolically, the same phenomenon occurs. On the one hand, entities will enjoy creating a perceived threat and on the other, they'll offer salvation or ‘protection’.
The whole angel and demon folklore stems from this scheme. As a result, individuals are being both dominated and assisted.
Confusion
This includes primarily faith, hope and truth. With this threesome of deceptions, you may take hold of a person and have them swaying between doubt and confidence (while both should be avoided at all costs).
The New Man is certain, which is not the same, and he relies solely on his spirit, that is, himself.
There's also a difference between faith and hope. Faith is based on blind adherence, which often leads to fanaticism. Hope is based on expectation, which is deceptive and fosters passivity.
Whenever you hear the words ‘knowledge’, ‘truth’, and ‘love’ against highly polarised scenarios sparking reactions rather than realisations and decisions, you'll know who you're dealing with. And you should take any archontic efforts to confuse and absorb you with a grain of salt and a wicked chuckle.
(Remember that the New Man always puts knowing before knowledge).
Those fortunate enough to grasp these concepts should have a strong advantage with such invaluable skills.
