SHACK 40186 MADNESS?

 

Courtesy E-Bay

The ego does the same thing over and over again with slight innovations expecting the same original result, mainly to be in control and right. It has an arsenal of defence and attack possibilities and even in extreme circumstances self destruct either by suicide or surrendering to to some addiction and endeavouring to blot out or curtail its failure.   

The spiritual warrior / Samurai faces the kundalini and the symptoms of this can be a devastating blow to the steadfast hard and fast rules of ego dominance.  The silence of meditation challenges the noise and chatter of the internal dialogue, the ego needs to hear, smell and feel it exists and surrender to its borders, logic and territory can feel like a battle and when approaching the limits of its circumference its ring fence it can feel the information not from verbal or visual context a sort of venturing over the edge and not in control to feel madness or insanity and on the path to the wayless way tug of war or an elastic band syndrome may present itself. The urge to let go, is significant in several ways; the ego sometimes gets tired of its monotonous repetitious exploits and its tireless endeavours to feed its ravenous appetite for the hungry ghost syndrome and yet it has a silent nagging sense as it were 'perhaps to surrender to the spirit, the emptiness of all things' it dips its toes and then has the urge to plunge headlong and then there is a sharp jolt, what if I just become a unkempt dotard shunned by society and locked away and drugged in a mental asylum. Then the taste of the spirit and its lure of  peace and lasting endurance of a sort? 

This is the challenge and perhaps the journey of the lone and lonely path of the quest, the quest to find nothing substantial and provable to logic or academic evidence and yet there is an inherent urge of a kind that perhaps most of humanity does not know of its existence and some that do scoff at its pursuit and say its a figment of an over productive fancy or imagination or an escape from reality. 

But for me there is this urge to purge the seemingly unreal and find that which has always been there and really is a search for that which is within and the journey is to come back to what was already there and in some ways a wasted journey yet still pursuing the wayless way and really knowing it is a dog chasing its own tail.

SHACK 4184 STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND

In that large bedroom in my parents double bed in 1942 I seemed to effortlessly float up a large black wall. Then the light beckoned me on and yet I had no sense of a personal me, I was an awareness. The light was then slowly fading and a bust of a being appeared, he had an Eastern Arabic Indian head wear with coloured stipes or bands adorned on it. He was in black garb and had sharp features, he spoke to me mind to mind, telepathically like and said 'you must go back'  I protested and said 'I want to go to the Light' try as I may he was insistent and he said his name was Joseph, he then directed my awareness to a small ball, beneath me yet I did not have a body as such, I recoiled and yet I gave in and reluctantly went to this orb which was getting larger, it was green and blue with some white. I seemed to collide or impact with this orb and then woke up in a cold dark place and then transported to this bed in an annexe in a kitchen.

Ever since that November day in 1942 I have found extreme difficulty living in this Earth Planet, I feel a stranger in a strange place, I feel this beautiful body awkward and clumsy and after many years cannot find a food I like or nourish me, I feel I could just not eat or drink and fasting comes natural to me, my human body was never really strong or agile and yet did well at Judo but then preferred Tai Chi and even then only gentle Qi Gong. I could not take to the religion of my family which is Jewish and later on life I felt I was born free of any dogma or religion and was taught to be a Jew. I did not take to any other religions or cults but felt to be spiritual. I do simple meditation mainly with doing nothing at all and on relaxing I fall into being aware of awareness. I am sensitive to atmosphere's and pick up on peoples moods and motives. I cannot stand allopathic medicine and have a distrust of the medical and scientific communities. I am heterosexual yet my relationships with women and male friends is and has been disastrous and ending up being a loner and outsider and being called unusual or a unusual. Yet I conducted many a workshop and as healer and natural psychotherapist I was told very sought after and 'successful'. I seek peace and quiet places and although the planet is beautiful I do not venture into nature much and although not a vegetarian I prefer vegetables, fish and some chicken or meat such oxtail and lambs neck and bagels with smoke salmon with pickle and cream cheese is a go to at times, I have smoked cigars and a pipe because I love incense and some tobacco aromas.

I am appalled at the wars, homelessness, poverty, complete lack of respect for life, human and organ trafficking and crimes against women and children, racial discrimination and the immigration and asylum seekers, I feel the unrest in the collective unconscious.


 I feel that my home domain is an 'energy' vibrational frequency with a body of a transparent or even invisible it is 'bodiless' as it were it is an awareness and it interacts with a fluidity and effortless interactions with anything it wants and conjures up. Beautiful colours and aromas and yet no nose to appreciate their delicate perfumes which are accompanied by colours and sometimes soft music and yet no ears to hear the tones. This feels like a heavenly sort of existence and I  am aware of other 'awareness's' and can exchange and interact with harmonious 'social' activity and each one able to exchange their particular enjoyment and feeling of total acceptance and unconditional love is abundant and shared by all.  

Perhaps one may think I am a romantic dreamer, yes to some extent and that I am escaping this painful planet Earth, and perhaps this is where many might end up after leaving their human body, many have experienced this in their NDE experiences, I only vaguely sense this as I feel it is just at 'back of my head' so to speak and have sensed this all of my life so far.

In this rendition all the images are merely illustrative to my ideas and via Goggle images because I haven't the literary intelligence to express their more inner feelings and meanings which need to b felt the experiencer themselves for he real inner flavour.

Images 1 to 3 remind me of the articles /blogs written on the surge of the Ahrimanic influence(technocracy) and there have been many Hollywood films in very specific sci-fi films to these subjects, many after a world collapse and a dystopian future follow, with banned scientific research and moral aspects allowed following but with a battle for supremacy to which group or tribe wins brings the ragged brigands to heel.

Stakeholder Foods partnered with Singapore's Umami Meats to 3D-print the world's first cultivated fish fillets. Using animal stem cells grown into muscle and fat, they created a specialized "bio-ink" to print ready-to-cook grouper replicating real fish texture and flakiness. You may wish to go further and reads Part two of Forearmed is Forewarned Sunday May 2023 where 'Star Trek instruments, replicators and instruments are gone into in www.geofffreed.com (on line).

So there is a battle of a sort; to take over the minds with high glossy sexy videos and streaming and appeal to the lust and greed to be successful and materialism is the answer some attempts to lessen this are made by parents to curtail media and mind seducing children and teenagers, which the groomers, paedophiles with sexual addictive pornography is promoting with the fuelling by addictive substances. The there is the reaction to urges governments and political leaders to 'do something about this' and often the government and leaders are corrupt and of no role models and yet profess the outrage that many feel and many person views them with distain and hypocrisy. Yet I feel there is a sort madness in many governmental and media presentations and for people who are said to be intelligent, well educated it goes all against the the grain and supposition. I feel there is a silent 'vibration or frequency 'which is 'possessing' a sort of a telepathic wave almost akin to a voodoo or black satanic black shamanic nature and possibly let in by places like CERN which is fracturing the Auric shields of our planet and allowing other vibrations into our world and consciousnesseses and seeping into the collective unconscious of humanity. Could this be the Ahrimanic caution  that Steiner and Blavatsky and many indigenous shamans warned us of particularly the beginning of the 21st.centurey and indeed where Atlantis went astray.

Sometime ago there was a lot of talk and chat about that politicians and certain dignitaries were in fact 'shape Shifters' and were serpent or reptilians and Google Images have many of them and David Ike did a lot that at that time, I had chats with David and I suggested it might be the basal ganglia or the older version of reptilian and mammalian neural networks coming through now more up to date suggests these former neural circuits have evolved and are what they are now. many years back as well I was in touch with a psychiatrist named Dr Arthur Guirdham and our meetings Post Friday 1st.March 2024 www.geofffreed.com or online.  I had two great friends who were husband and wife who were CERN scientists and they left because they were psychics and were picking up strange energies. They brought up they were having dreams, psychic attacks of reptilian and serpent like images and we discussed whether they thought CERN had opened another dimension and strange entities were let in. When the first well known Atom Bomb explosion, certain sensitive and psychic persons said ' a rent had occurred in the planet Aura and a certain scientist remarked a rent had occurred in space time. Then a theory went round suppose there was an alien influence from another dimension and they were reptilian or such like, what if they had 'hive minds' and they simply did not understand human consciousness and our way of life or our planets nature ah la sea, vegetation and so on.

I am aware just the last seven or eight months although I broke my right wrist that a strange deep 'type of urge' has been trying to disturb my only word it is equilibrium. Many people I know and have contact  me with say the same; I know I could be picking up the the fear and aggression and the desperate silent and loud pleas from the homeless, the victims of the terrible wars and so many in poverty and so on, no this is attacking the source of  myself, it is endeavouring to unseat my soul, to shatter our divinity and light. It is endeavouring not only to be evil as humans understand this but to replace the very God, Great Spirit of us BUT to Challenge the very creator and claim the universe of its foundation and God, Buddha, Jesus, Mohamed, Krishna as false prophets and I feel this entity frequency has got and possessed many of the world's leaders and especially 'The New World ' aspirants. They in fact want to be the NEW SPIRITUAL ACCORDING TO THEIR BELIEFS to be the be The New Tathagata and us to be their ilk. 

Sometime in the mid-eighties I presented a workshop in Berlin Germany (one of several over the years) in a centre where on that weekend there were two others going on, one by a well known Lama on death and dying, the other by a psychic psychiatrist and healer on self healing and mine on reincarnation and pre life agreements, we all had a finish time of Sunday 18.00 hrs at about 17.45 four persons turned up and begged help from the three of us presenters, the caretaker agreed to extend an hour if we could assist. There were two girls about 18 or 19 years and two sets of  parents, at that time there were a lot of Shamanic Courses being offered and many were declared with certificates after six weeks  as Shamans these two Girls enrolled and were sent into The Schwartzwald(black Forest-Germany-I have a deep respect for genuine Shamans and they were told to seek their 'power animal inner guide) when they came back they had seizures and nightmares and the Shaman fled to the USA and was charged and was found guilty of deception and end endangering lives, he had the six week certificate. The Lama Sogyal I do not remember the name of the Lady psychiatrist, the two girls were placed on therapy tables and Lama Sogyal placed a hand on each head, the lady stood in the middle and placed a hand on each midriff and I placed a hand on the ankles. The room had a venetian blind with horizontal veins and as we followed the suggestions of Sogyal, the girls were held down by their parents as they were shaking and spitting something like smoke came out of them and something ran up and down the veins on the blind making a definite rattling sound the window was shut. I went to the window and opened it an we all saw a kind of dark shadows leave, the girls were well and felt healed. Lama Sogyal and I with my German sponsors went for a meal afterwards and I suggested to Lama that his work should be named Midparents for the dying. I do my own kind of this work which I did in hospices and friends which I have explained elsewhere. Lama Sogyal felt the girls had picked up mischievous forest spirits. I have come across this in similar situations an events at Findhorn and several well known power points.  Arthur Guirdham discussed this sort of thing and these sort of things could come in through portals with uncontrolled supervision say at CERN. Scientists my have inadvertently caused this to happen or there is a rumour that a psychic or facilitator of the black Satanic Cults had been among those scientists. This may not be seen with our senses and many may feel this is an extraordinary lot of hogwash and rubbish however I would caution folk to be wary and just be alert. my be this energy is running around the planet and solar system waiting to pounce on unsuspecting victims, especially those fired up with the lust for power and wealth.( Meeting Sogyal Rinpoche in Berlin during the mid-1980s aligns with the period he actively travelled in Europe to teach and establish the Rigpa community, shortly before publishing The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying in 1992.)

Image 4 is a notion that pops up; in meditation when the mind is clear there seems to be just being aware of awareness, it has no beginning or end and just is peace,  and yet dynamic, it is stillness and yet movement and can be dark and light, the feeling of the mid point or no point, the reconciliation of duality and the opposites and polarities. No words can describe this adequately, to me this is the Tathagata and matrix.  This maybe the emptiness of no mind and the intuitive feeling can only be ones own experience and verification, one of the signs of this verification is an intuitive deep gut feeling of events and the feelings of correct facts that arise from events that challenge one in Life.

NB;  The empty mind, the void, is to me Sunyata(Sunyata, or emptiness, is a core philosophical and spiritual concept in Buddhism and other Indian traditions. It means that all things lack an independent, permanent core or separate self-existence. Nothing exists completely on its own; everything relies on changing causes and conditions)like the vacuum of zero quantum field it is a dynamic and ever interrelated relationships in fact a ever changing possibility and probability pure unadulterated potential. Mu, mushin, and muga mushin are core philosophical concepts rooted in Zen Buddhism and traditional Japanese martial arts. They describe advanced states of mental clarity, ego lessness, and spontaneous action.  

  • Mu (無): Literally means "nothingness," "no," or "emptiness". It represents the absence of ego, distracting thoughts, fear, or mental blockages. 
  • Mushin (無心): Translated as "no mind" (mu = nothingness, shin = mind/heart). It is a state where the mind is fully present and aware, but free from fixed thoughts, emotional attachment, or internal dialogue. Action flows naturally without the conscious mind interfering. 
  • Muga (無我): Means "no-self" or the negation of the ego and the separation between the actor and the action. 
Muga Mushin (無我無心)
  • Combined Meaning: Muga mushin merges both terms to signify no-self and no-mind. 
  • Muga Mushin (無我無心)
    • Combined Meaning: Muga mushin merges both terms to signify no-self and no-mind. 
    • The Perspective: It describes a unified, transcendent state of total ego lessness where the individual ceases to think about themselves, their opponent, or the outcome.
    • Application: In martial arts or daily life, it is the ultimate realization of performance—moving, reacting, and existing with absolute freedom, pure intuition, and zero hesitation. 

The 'no self' I have written about as no identity the inculcated or inculcation realised of the brain washed mind leading to my idea of ' nowhere to hang my hat' Many Shacks re this.

SHACK 4181 FANTASY SCI-FI MUSING AND ?

Courtesy Splash

Where do I begin? I used to listen so many years ago to Andy William's and other popular singers as a break from listening to classical music and native music and chanting and so I used the title 'where do I begin' from Andy Williams although the words and sentiments may not suit this article. (readers to other articles have remarked on my popular additions of songs to illustrate the blog). 
 

So what is this all about? Well perhaps you will bear with me for a while or two. Many people have mused and ruminated on Creation. Some say God, Divine Spirit, Great Source of Life and so on, others say The Big Bang, however if one says God, others say prove it and one can say can you disprove it? I am sure you may be well versed in these discussions. One may feel so sure inside and believed it so intensely and the other so vehemently to oppose this fervent belief and this can lead to to a brawl.

For the sake of this blog perhaps we can agree that the Universe has arrived and we can experience however you feel it was a spontaneous event and explosion or a Divine Intelligence without material form created the Universe and the Universe is a great thought and we humans are but a creation like a potter and us the clay pot or from the spontaneous explosion it somehow through the trillions and millions of bits and pieces of shattered fragments like in the sub atomic particles as they collide and form new particles in a sort of seemingly random events as seen in particle colliders and yet the mystery remans from the cacophony the kaleidoscope, the maelstrom of this ever moving motion of seemingly random particle stuff, the Universe was plucked out of this and formed by the build of layers of quantum 'debris' without an intelligent input? No intelligent design and as they say there is every possibility and probability at the quantum reservoir.  Ponder this and the 99.99 empty atom?

Then another mystery, the debate into earlier civilisations such Lemuria, Mu and Atlantis and perhaps even before them.  Atlantis was noted by Plato 360BCE, Lemuria  Philip Rutley Sclater and Mu by James Churchwood and Agustuc Le Plongeon and these all thought they were myths, not Plato so much and that these continents were either in the Indian or Pacific Oceans. Research by other people like Maurice Jessup, Daniel Litz, Amelia Edwards, Percy Fawcett and in particular Graham Hancock brought many credible ideas and evidence to the table so to speak.

Now Myth or not may I indulge into a set of ideas which may offend certain faiths or beliefs, please bear in mind the title of this blog when reading; from research I gathered that the early Atlanteans were a kind of nebulous astral energy beings and they evolved into a more organic form and were male and female in one body and were probably cyclopean or perhaps had a sort of pineal gland sort of arrangement seemingly eye like(pineal gland and its spiritual and mystical connection) and of course the Tuaoi crystal which is of a hexagonal design and said to harness Sun, Earth and psychic spiritual energies and connected the hundreds of Pyramids which were relay 'stations 'for this energy. They were a spiritual race however, there were differences between two groups the Ameillia (good Guys) and Belial(bad guys), there was free energy great healing health through this energy and then when their bodies further developed similar to our human form, the Belial people wanted to claim the Tuaoi 'technology' this technology was like we here today about UFO they could fly in space, through walls and so on. Eventually they started to mess about with genetics and they misused the power and it caused an gigantic Earthquake type with explosion and Atlantis sunk beneath waves. Today various cabals look for this technology and it is called The UFO file and Tesla and Einstein were on the perimeters with the Philadelphia Experiments and later on Montauk.

Vimanas are mythological flying palaces or chariots described in Sanskrit epics like the Ramayana and Mahabharat, according to genuine researchers if you care to study the ancient wars of that era in which there is evidence of radioactivity and a type of nuclear war still found today and have been carbon dated.  It is said that many of the Atlanteans escaped to far out planets and colonised them I am not sure which ones or where, however in my UFO story of 2005 there was a war on one of them and they destroyed their planet and some survivors came back to Earth, the Moon and Mars. Please read the UFO STORY 2005 on www.geoffreed.com or online POST 342 'REPOST' Monday April 2018 originally written in 2005. This will explain the war and planet and where and I feel the Belial ancestors and they came from Atlantis.

This all starts with many myths, conspiracy theories and the like. Admiral Bird made several trips to Antarctica; I have a log of a flight he had over the Arctic I was informed it was the Antarctic, I blogged it and was told it was all false and fake, accept I spoke the nephew of the navigator on that event. In precis the log said the plane lost control and a force drew then down through a hole and there was vegetation and sunshine of a sort, two men approached they looked tanned and healthy and spoke with a sleight accent, they told him they must stop doing the Nuclear thing and look after the planet. the he went a second time and came back and mentioned to the Government something, this then made the so called 'Operation High Jump' of which such a cover up and I will find the best write up;, officially Operation Highjump - Wikipedia titled the U.S. Navy Antarctic Developments Program 1946–1947 (Task Force 68), was a massive U.S. Navy operation Operation High Jump | American expedition | Britannica led by Rear Admiral Richard H. Cruzen Operation Highjump: The Great Antarctic Expedition and overseen by Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd Jr. It involved 4,700 men, 13 ships, and 33 aircraft, running from August 1946 to late February 1947, to map the continent, test military equipment, and establish Little America IV. courtesy Wikipedia, the reason was to map the Antarctica they came back early; version they mapped it quickly, version two because they were attacked and had a battle with UFO saucer type craft and lost heavily. Then Admiral Birds son was to do a lecture on it he never made it and was found dead in a warehouse, his clothes were changed, it said he committed suicide and had been depressed. This was denied by many persons. If you research Daniel Litz and the Dark Journalist it will fill in much more and his is backed up with so much documents and stuff, mine is not plagiarism because I was into this before 2005 as per THE UFO STORY mentioned above. now it was said that the Germans were experimenting with Antigravity UFO type stuff ad they had developed the famous Bell.Die Glocke (German for "The Bell") is a famous conspiracy theory about a secret bell-shaped device. Legend says Nazi Germany built it as a wonder weapon (Wunderwaffe) or anti-gravity machine during World War II. Mainstream historians and scientists state that the device is a complete hoax with no hard evidence. I can say I knew three Jewish scientists who worked on it, they mysteriously never went to the USA  with 'operation paperclip' their bodies were found in mass graves near or in Auschwitz. The myth, conspiracy goes further; sources said the Nazi scientist escaped (some say with Hitler) to the Falkland islands, Argentina and ANTARTICA. The plot thickens, some;Patriarch Kirill of the Russian Orthodox Church visited Antarctica, but Pope Francis did not. No reigning Pope has ever travelled to Antarctica. Patriarch Kirill's visit happened shortly after his historic meeting with Pope Francis in Cuba. I heard that the Pope went as well, there were other visits by dignitaries in 1999,2007,2011 and 2025. Now I go out on a limb so to speak, In my UFO story I talk about a planet that split in to and were called Melchedecans and I feel they were the Belial of Atlantis and I feel they split the planet in a war with the Amelial and that this is continuing today. I feel the Belial family are The Deep State, the elite, the cabal, Bilderberg's and so on.  I feel the Nazi outcrop we seeing the Neo Nazi;

A neo-Nazi is a person or part of a group that wants to bring back the ideas of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. This belief system includes strong hate for Jewish people, racism, white supremacy, and fascism.
Core Beliefs
  • White Supremacy: The belief that white people are better than all other people.
  • Antisemitism: Deep hatred and prejudice against Jewish people.
  • Holocaust Denial: Claiming that the mass murder of Jewish people during World War II did not happen.
  • Use of Symbols: Displaying old Nazi flags, salutes, and specific numbers or letters used as secret codes. 
How Groups Operate Today
  • Online Networks: Using hidden chat rooms, social media, and messaging apps to share hate speech and plan meetings.
  • Small Cells: Working in small, secret local groups instead of large public crowds.
  • Violence and Training: Holding secret training camps and sometimes carrying out violent attacks against minority groups or governments. 
Laws and Action
  • Bans and Arrests: Many countries have strict laws that make it a crime to show Nazi symbols or promote hate groups.
  • Police Action: Law enforcement agencies around the world track these networks to stop violent crimes before they happen.

Another of these myths come conspiracy come maybe true is regarding Nurse Matilda O'Donnell  McElroy and the write up by Lawrence E Spencer; this is about Matilda and her nursing an ET Alien, you can purchase the interview online by Lawrence Spencer, there are short or long versions. When she retired she went home to Ireland and she did not commit suicide but she dd not disclose the transcripts until she knew her family were safe because the 'authorities' threaten' to kill her and her family if she leaked this information. Through the an Irish 'undercover' officer I met during my Forensic work he assured me that the above is authentic. Please read Mr Spencer's report if you can  and of course bear in mind the title of this article/blog. I was particularly interested in her mention the 'old UFO' of the old Empire, you might like to read my Post 206 'Rulers of the World' Friday February 2018 for a bit more padding and bears out my UFO  Story.

                                                         from Post 206 

The two books will provide perhaps the most in depth complete picture of the 13 top Illuminati families that has been done to date. In fact, I know of no other book which is devoted to exposing the top 13 Illuminati families. In Volume two, you will read about Illuminati life, Illuminati control, and Illuminati organizations including the ACL, the Bohemian Grove, the Cosmos Club, the CFR, the Club of Rome, the Council of 9, the Council of 13 which is the Grand Druid Council, the Jason Society, the Jason Group, the Ordo Saturis, the OTO groups, MI-6, MJ-12, the Mothers of Darkness, the Pilgrim Society, the Prieure de Sion, the Process Church, the Sanhedrin, the Temple of Power, and other groups. These two books will give the details behind what was written, "the whole world lieth in wickedness" and that the god of this world is in its full reality Satan. Fritz Springmeir. (this gentleman is really heavy duty and brave)all of these groups above I have researched and did not blog or article just brief mentions it is too exhausting and I have seen enough and heard enough during my Forensic years. Fritz was born Viktor E Schoof September 24 1955.

Here is another bloodline or perhaps a timeline ; Nearly all U.S. presidents are distantly related. Except for Martin Van Buren (who had Dutch roots), every U.S. president shares British or North-western European colonial ancestry, meaning they are all distant cousins. A famous viral genealogy project by a schoolgirl even linked 42 presidents back to English King John.  I shouldn't read too much into this because if you look how this genealogy was calculated it is mathematically possible to apply this to most other famous genealogy and perhaps person.
From previous blog / article
Add to this Klaus Schwab of late president of WEC and Von Braun of NASA there are huge Germanic influences YOU CANNOT TAR EVERYBODY WITH THE SAME BRUSH and not every German is a Nazi. I use the term Germanic Geographically and not necessarily a trait or genome. 
Assuming "Alio Htler" is a typo for Adolf Hitler’s father, Alois Hitler, he heavily influenced Adolf's early life through a strict, domineering, and often abusive upbringing. This tense dynamic shaped Adolf's early rebelliousness, his view of absolute authority, and his intense clashes over career choices—such as Alois forcing him into technical school rather than letting him pursue art. 
Key Aspects of the Influence
  • Family Name: Alois changed his own surname from Schicklgruber to Hitler (spelled from variations like Hiedler), giving Adolf the exact name he would carry. 
  • Authoritarian Style: Alois ruled his household with severity, which psychologists and historians note helped form Adolf's complex relationship with power and discipline.
  • Direct Conflict: Young Adolf frequently rebelled against his father's short temper and rigid expectations, intentionally underperforming in school as a form of protest. 
  • Aftermath of Death: When Alois died suddenly in 1903, Adolf's initial grief was mixed with a newfound lack of structure, leading to a sharp drop in his school performance before he eventually dropped out.
