My Interests

next level shit, i.e. the real shit, i.e. making the world a better place every single day by every day making myself a better person (okay, but i'm trying, damn it!), the inevitable eventual synthesis of science and spirituality, the acceleration of the expansion of human consciousness on a mass scale, numbers and how they interact, using the force, feeling the force flowing through me at all times, turkey sandwiches. i also enjoy: walking through walls, becoming invisible, flying, smoking weed in public ***9/11 was an inside job, pass it on! for more info go to www.911proof.com***

Heroes:

Ogmios is the counterforce to the Antichrist who will help tear down the tyranny and balance the universe in a way that is harmonious to man's central spiritual source. He will be supported by many countries still fighting the Antichrist. He will probably arise from the underground movement. In one of the countries conquered by the Antichrist the underground will be tightly organized. Ogmios will arise from it, and confront the Antichrist as WWWIII is approaching its end. He is very well prepared spiritually for the task.Ogmios will be "of the people". He will have worked up through the ranks from a simple background, attaining his accomplishments through honest work. He will have technical training but will rely mainly on his practicality. He's an old soul who has his priorities straight and can see the root of matters. He is one who will help pave the way for the "Great Genius". Ogmios realizes he is not the one to lead the world to ultimate peace, but he is the one to help bring down "the one who would destroy the world" (the Antichrist) to open the way for the one who will guide the world to ultimate peace.
