ecosophia | Magic Monday

It's midnight, so we can proceed with a new Magic Monday. Ask me anything about occultism and I'll do my best to answer it. Any question received by midnight Monday Eastern time will get an answer. (Any question received after then will not get an answer, and will likely just be deleted.) If you're in a hurry, or suspect you may be the 143,916th person to ask a question, please check out the very rough version 1.0 of The Magic Monday FAQ here.

I've had several people ask about tipping me for answers here, and though I certainly don't require that I won't turn it down. You can use the button above to access my online tip jar. If you're interested in political and economic astrology, or simply prefer to use a subscription service to support your favorite authors, you can find my Patreon page here and my SubscribeStar page here.

I've also had quite a few people over the years ask me where they should buy my books, and here's the answer. Bookshop.org is an alternative online bookstore that supports local bookstores and authors, which a certain other gargantuan corporation doesn't, and I now have a shop there, which you can check out here. Please consider patronizing it if you'd like to purchase any of my books online.

~~With that said, have at it!~~

***This Magic Monday is now closed. See you next week!***

***Ahem. People have continued to try to post questions, despite the post being closed. I have deleted these. Follow-up comments to existing questions are fine, but other than that, please save it until the next Magic Monday.***

Hi JMG,

I recently ran across this report (https://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/our-work/pubs_archive/pubs-pdfs/2017/spars-pandemic-scenario.pdf) of a scenario exercise done in 2017 by Johns Hopkins university. It's eerily similar to what happened with the recent virus scare - named SPARS-CoV in the report - down to the (faked) news headlines and twitter posts.

Now, one might naively assume that this is proof of a major conspiracy but I tend to be wary of that claim. Seeing the discussion around the "Babylon 5" series on the other blog, I'm wondering if all the preparation done as in this report or "Event 201" might not be a god or other superhuman being acting through unsuspecting humans. I'd think that especially believers in Scientism would be easily manipulated by a higher power. Or could it be an astral pattern earthing out early before the main manifestation?

Is that plausible? Is there a way to distinguish "Acts of God" from conspiracy and from mass psychology at that scale?

Thank you for taking the time for us here!

That's one of those very difficult questions. To what extent was it deliberate conspiracy, to what extent was it influence by nonphysical beings, to what extent was it unintentional magic -- the focused concentration of people in the scenario laying down energetic tracks that events then followed -- and to what extent was it just a matter of a plausible scenario being, well, plausible? It's very hard to tell.
