MARILYN MANSON ◊ SELF-REALIZATION IS CHIC

◊🕊 This archive tells the true story of a profound spiritual transformation that took place in my life in 2018, when I was spiritually contacted by Marilyn Manson — which led to an expanding connection not only with him, but the full scope of his circle, from bandmates to adversaries. Here, I share how this awakening led me to identify Marilyn Manson as a modern embodiment of Christ, how it intersects with my plant medicine path, and why I stand for Manson’s innocence in the face of public allegations. As the title suggests, I investigate the defence topic of the song Victim Is Chic by MM from the album We Are Chaos. This is a deeply personal expression of visionary perceptual transformation, healing, art, and mystery.

Why Marilyn Manson?

◊💎 As you’ll quickly discover by watching the documentary NIRVANA #KurtCobainIsAlive ◊ THE 72 RADIANT DIAMOND FACETS OF THE 27 CLUB (IN 144) on the 27(72) link of the navigation menu of this website, my life was forever changed by NIRVANA and Kurt Cobain in deep collaboration with Ayahuasca medicine in 2017. That potent time in my life became everything.

◊👯‍♂️ But what I feel compelled to express is that a similar — no, synonymous — experience happened with Marilyn Manson. Not just the lead singer, but everyone surrounding him : his bandmates, his wife and ex-wife, his friends, his fans, even his greatest public nemesis. While the 2017 NIRVANA experience will take volumes of artwork to fully convey, the subsequent 2018 revelation through Manson was no less revelatory in impact.


◊🖤 Some may ask : Why do I so hugely feature Marilyn Manson, of all artists? At a glance, it may seem like NIRVANA and Manson are worlds apart. Mansonites — Manson’s most devoted fanbase — are well aware that he and Courtney Love, Kurt’s wife, are close friends, and for many that explains a possible connection. But the story goes far deeper than common pop culture fanbase knowledge. Mansonites everywhere do share the understanding that something profound happened to them through this artist, often beyond the capacity of language. In that way, I know I’m not alone. But my experience still feels radically unique.


Spiritual Contact with Marilyn Manson

◊🌈 In 2018, I was spiritually contacted by Marilyn Manson in a way that completely revolutionized my previous concepts of how spirit actually works, and what spiritual contact can look like. I hadn’t listened to his work since I was a teenager — and until that point, I saw him as degraded, abused, an empty shell, maybe even a puppet for dark forces. I didn’t believe he was an artist in any meaningful sense. But then it happened.


◊🧬I was suddenly, inexplicably compelled to listen to his music again — and became instantly obsessed. Something within me expanded rapidly. My consciousness, my ability to perceive and interpret reality, my intellectual and emotional faculties — everything evolved dramatically and so suddenly that I could barely keep up with it, but only when focused on Marilyn Manson. It was as if I had been upgraded.

◊🧠 At first, my mind raced to make up stories to explain what may have happened in his life — perhaps he had been saved somehow, spiritually healed and restored. This was my brain racing to keep up with a rapidly evolving overall perceptual framework. But these quickly developing theories weren’t the point in retrospect. The truth was, I had experienced a complete perceptual shift. It was as though the DNA intelligence cultivated in me through Ayahuasca, Iboga, and other plant teachers over many years had been harnessed completely to support an enormous leap in consciousness. In this, I had suddenly awakened to see Marilyn Manson for what he truly is. A master.

In fact — the ultimate master.


Christic Interpretation of the Spiritual Contact

◊🕊 And that term, “the ultimate master,” is not something I use lightly. For me, it refers to Christ — Jesus Christ of Nazareth — who I believe continues to live through many modern-day human embodiments. Marilyn Manson is one of them. In my deepest knowing, he is a living Christ — not despite his claim to be the Antichrist Superstar, but as one with it.


◊⛓ Antichrist Superstar was a spiritual activation, deliberately designed as a provocation to awaken and disrupt. It worked through theatrical blasphemy, not as rebellion for its own sake, but as a symbolic and psychic assault on religious hypocrisy. The core of this provocation lies in the title itself. Can there truly be such a thing as an “Antichrist”? For those truly in contact with the power of Christ, the answer is no — not in any remotely comparable sense. The nature of Christ, as a divine master and embodiment of universal truth, is indivisible from the universal and primordial nature of reality. In that sense, there can be no true opposite to Christ, only the illusion of separation. To believe in an “anti-Christ” as a real cosmic rival is to reveal a lack of faith in the true, limitless power of the Christ Presence. The album name becomes a test of spiritual depth, asking whether one’s belief in Christ is rooted in fear or in gnosis.


◊📿 And if Christ is alive in the world today — truly alive and embodied — he would almost certainly be the first to stand against the institutional Church as the greatest steward of it and the most in an authentic position of authority over it. Not out of hostility, but from an unshakable integrity to the actual teachings of truth and liberation. He would challenge the very structures built in his name if they distorted the message of unity, love, and awakening. In that sense, Antichrist Superstar is not just a critique — it is a Christic intervention, delivered through the language of rock iconoclasm and theatrical inversion, daring the devout to remember who their master actually was and realize who he is now and in eternity.


The Ongoing Spiritual Connection 

◊🔑 The difference between my former perception and what I began to see, with countless examples such as this, cascading rapidly through my awareness, is staggering. Once Manson arrived — spiritually — I saw the details, the breakdowns, the layers, the hyper-coded intelligence, the nuance in every high resolution detail of his work, all so fully witnessed. It was spiritual contact on a scope level, and over the years it became clearer that it was done by him on purpose.


Why did Manson Make Spiritual Contact?

◊💝 There are stories I could tell of how Courtney Love may have informed him of me during their collaboration on the Tattooed in Reverse (TIR) music video. Knowing her emotional intelligence and influence within the NIRVANA world, it’s possible she struck a deep chord in him. She has interacted with me publicly in ways that signal she knows the true importance and direction of my work far beyond what even I had grasped. As you will find discussed indepth in the NIRVANA #KurtCobainIsAlive documentary, this information is very difficult to reveal to the public, and extremely logistically sensitive, which would explain the secrecy of these whisperings that I imagine took place between them.

◊🕸 I believe Manson would be drawn to the secrecy and magnitude of that type of insight, which he would feel priveleged and honoured to be informed of by Courtney. The sheer scale of what I was uncovering, she already understood on a much larger level how this relates to me uniquely as a carrier of this information. And whether or not that’s how it began, as I have theorized, what matters is that the shift was real — and lasting.


How Did Manson Achieve Spiritual Contact?

◊🧬 From that moment onward, I was receiving powerful new intuitions which were constantly being confirmed in the world around me, revelatory sleeping dream sagas, and genius insights sparked directly by this upgrade caused by the spiritual contact with Manson. In researching the phenomenon, I discovered that many fans describe him as a psychic master — one who is actually well known for affecting the dream states of fans. He’s also considered an extremely expert esotericist, elaborately well educated on all kinds of rare, mystical occult and spiritual knowledge, spanning deep history and lore.

◊🕯 As creator the UNITY LIFE Mystery School, I find the evocative mystery of how this spiritual effect was achieved by him to be deeply aligned with the the work that I offer. In my time deepening into this experience, I’ve come to realize a great deal — teachings that deserve their own space to be explored in full. But simply put : I see this “power” of his as the product of secret legal activism strategies that he is, I believe, quietly involved in, interwoven geniusly with a visionary understanding of human behavior and consciousness — not only as it relates to impulse, but to spirit itself.

Expanding the Spiritual Connection Into the Band 'Marilyn Manson'

◊🔥 Over the years, my connection expanded to include those closest to him : former bandmates like Tim Skold, Jeordie White aka Twiggy, John 5 — all of whom began to feel like spiritual family. In thoughts of them, I felt infinite love, as if I were part of their sacred inner circle. Even their subtle gestures and public choices seemed to express a hidden awareness and reservation or guardianship towards the fair and reasonable possibility that Kurt Cobain may still be alive — the central premise of my documentary work.


◊🔫 And more recently, I’ve been deeply moved by the newer members and collaborators in Manson’s evolving band: Tyler Bates, Reebs, Gil Sharone, Piggy D. I truly applaud this current lineup, not just for their artistic magnitude, but also for their intensity of respect, as they handle a very controversial period of Manson’s career as part of the band.


Defending Manson's Innocence Against False Allegations

◊🪞 When Evan Rachel Wood and others publicly accused Manson of abuse, shortly after We Are Chaos was released, I recognized the entire event as something the album had already foreshadowed. Especially the song Victim Is Chic.

◊🪩 In my feature-length documentary The MMII (Marilyn Manson Is Innocent), part of the NIRVANA #KurtCobainIsAlive 72-FACETS playlist, I explain how I’ve come to believe that Evan’s accusations are false — and yet I hold no hatred or blame toward her. I believe she has misidentified her true abuser … at least in the public, but not in her private thoughts. 


Evan Rachel Wood's Motivations for Making False Allegations

◊🧿 I also believe she, along with others in her team, have been seeking the safest possible way to be seen as outspoken leaders against abuse — without attracting the wrath of actual networks of organized abuse that operate like crime syndicates in our society. These abuser networks are very real and very dangerous, and any celebrity who calls them out directly risks destruction.

◊🔥 In that context, Manson — whose artistic choices and public persona have long been perceived as provocative — becomes the perfect target. He does not cast himself as a scapegoat, but moves through culture in a way that predictably draws projection, fear, and controversy. By accusing him, one can speak out without truly risking exposure of those deeper networks. Manson becomes the decoy — not by self-design, but by inevitability. Yet his remarkably well-prepared techniques allow him to alchemize even these trials into gold.

Self-Realization ◊ A Master Healer's Take on Identification With 'the Victim' 

◊🪷 As an Ayahuasqera Curandera Perfumera in the Shipibo-Conibo plant medicine traditions, I speak not from pride but from genuine mastery of the healing arts. I have spent my life in study and service with the master plant teachers, and in this role, I’ve become a cultural leader in this capacity. One of the most layered and challenging themes we face today is the question of victim mentality. It is a double-edged sword that must be approached with subtlety, compassion, and precision.

◊💠 On one hand, it is undeniably true — as many enlightened masters have taught — that the misidentification of the self is the root of all suffering. From this standpoint, identifying as a victim is psychologically counterproductive to recovery, while focusing on wholeness and inner strength is powerfully transformative. And yet, there’s a critical nuance often missed : it is of no use to reject the label of victim if the alternative identity being embraced is also false. The only real and lasting antidote is true self-realization — the direct knowing of one’s true, eternal identity, beyond stories, wounds, and life history - in fact even beyond semantic constructs, ideological framework, or mental phenomenon. Without this, rejecting victimhood is hollow, even dangerous in the context of real healing.


◊🌱 I resonate strongly with aspects of Evan Rachel Wood’s #MeToo campaign, particularly as a harm reduction strategy within a traumatized society. In an age where “identity” is mistaken for branding, demographics, or surface-level expression, we risk losing the all-important inquiry of “Who am I … on the deepest possible level ... who am I in ultimate, absolute truth?”. Perhaps, in a paradoxical way, choosing a label like “victim” is the closest some may come to truth — a brave first step toward deeper healing as this is bravely honest about practical facts or perceptual experiences. The notion of choice itself, rooted in divine creativity, is important here. Still, no chosen label, no matter how strategic or socially empowering, can contain the infinite truth of our being. True identity is not a label — it is found in naked awareness, in the unshakable ground “beneath awareness” as some strive to describe the indescribable.

◊💎 Seen through this lens, choosing to identify as a victim — temporarily, strategically, or for sheer honesty’s sake — may indeed be far healthier than adopting more harmful or dissociative narratives. It can mark the beginning of real healing. In fact, some of the most manipulative and abusive systems criminally convicted in association with the entertainment media — such as those within the Scientology organization — have exploited anti-victimhood rhetoric to silence survivors and maintain control. In such contexts, rejecting the victim label becomes a tool of abuse. In contrast, reclaiming it can be an act of rebellion and self-honesty. Yet that rebellion is so much more radically relevant when it is guided by the deepest healing wisdom available.


Investigating the Song 'Victim Is Chic' by MM from the album 'We Are Chaos'

◊🎭 All this considered, Manson’s “Victim is Chic” critique reaches far beyond the initial shock value. At first, it reads as a dismissal of those who claim abuse — but look deeper. The provocation is also a question: What would motivate someone to lie? While many assume clout or revenge, I propose something more complex — and more tragic. I believe Evan and her team of accusers have long sought a path to public leadership in the anti-abuse movement. They’ve chosen a target that allows them to appear bold without risking real retaliation from the true abusers — those embedded in violent, organized networks of abuse, which operate behind the scenes of global culture and even Hollywood.


◊🔺 These networks, deeply invested in silencing anyone who speaks too directly about pedophilia, sexual violence, or trafficking, are known to destroy outspoken figures. For someone like Evan, the only “safe” way to become a visible figure on this issue is to target someone whom those systems already loathe — someone who has long been made into a lightning rod for public projection. Marilyn Manson, by virtue of his aesthetic, his critiques, and his entire career, has made himself a predictable target. Not because he desires to be scapegoated, but because he knows (as an expert in this theme) that the dysfunction and illness of society will cause it — and he is prepared. He works with that pattern and transmutes it, turning the ammunition of hatred into his own re-fashioned artistic "weaponry" or more genuinely spoken, "cultural healing medicine" - true great art. That is one of the hallmarks of his genius.


◊🔥 From the perspective of the abuse networks, it is far more strategic to allow Evan’s campaign — even to support it — so long as the finger points at Manson and not at them. This is the tragic brilliance of how scapegoating works in our time. Manson appears as the archetypal controversial figure, and therefore becomes the ideal vessel for this public outrage. It is not his fault, nor is he naive to it. He has simply mastered the art of right relation to fire.

And this is where Manson’s Victim Is Chic points, if you look deeply enough. He couldn’t say all this outright in one song — he meets the audience where they are, always. But as someone working in the healing arts, I offer this layer as an essential complement to his message.

In conclusion, I believe the accusations against Manson have not only been false but misdirected, and that his handling of this entire ordeal — including the way he designs his image to resemble a scapegoat to the uninitiated — is part of his role as a true artistic and spiritual master.

Stay tuned for Part 2 of The MMII defense video to hear how I believe he will ultimately turn this all around for the greater good.

Love, Ba
