Multicultural/multi racial countries such as US already have some percentage of mixed-ethnicity/race citizens. . In the 2010 US census, approximately 9 million individuals, or 2.9% of the population, self-identified as multiracial.

When I say “mixed race people” I don’t mean half-breeds. I mean people who are a mixture of many different ethnicities and/or races. An example of this would be when a person tells you that they are part Italian, part Hawaiian, part Puerto Rican, part Cherokee, part English, etc... Some say that genetically all this mixing of races & ethnicities is actually beneficial to humans, while others say the opposite.

Apart from examining the biological/genetic effect of multiculturalism, I want to look at other types of problems raised by modern multiculturalism.

According to official sources, the mixing of human groups is nothing new. Supposedly humans have been mixing since ancient time, and genetically, it’s impossible to find an “unmixed” population at least since the Neolithic revolution. There are endless sources that talk about genetics, ancient migrations, linguistics, etc., and I would definitely be interested in studying it thoroughly, if I actually trusted this information. I am one of those people who is very skeptical towards anything that comes from academia, and even most alternative sources. I don’t trust academic information on ancient man, ancient migrations, three-age system and its stages, Ice age, origins of life/humans, etc...

We can talk about what scientists say about genetics, ancient migrations, linguistics, etc.., or we can try come to our own conclusions based on our own direct experience. Academia claims human groups have always mixed from the start, but the way I see it, is that yes, in the past there were cultures around the world that consisted of mixed international crowds much like modern USA, but at the same time there were cultures & tribes made up of people of the same race who kept to themselves, and didn’t mix with foreigners.

When my Armenian father married my Russian mother 40 years ago, both of their families were against them marrying outside of their culture. So just 100 years ago most people were against intermarriage, and even till this day some ethnic cultures are against intermarriage. Like most Muslim & Jewish people, and even some modern Native American tribes are against intermarriage.

From what I understand, in the ancient past, the type of mixing that went was completely different from what we see today. It appears there were some random cases of intermarriage, but few in number. Another way cultures mixed in the past, is when one nation conquered another, and they both combined. Again, this is completely different from what we see today.

I’m split in half when it comes to ethnicity. I can trace several generations on both sides of my heritage Russian/Slavic and Armenian. For me it’s not difficult to decide on which side I belong the Russian/Slavic or Armenian, because I’ve always felt more Slavic/Russian, being that I was born on Slavic land and raised there until age 13, before being brought to US. I haven’t had an opportunity to absorb any of the Armenian culture or language. Maybe one day. One thing I know is that both Slavic/Russian people and Armenian people claim to have descended from the Aryans... it’s hard enough for me and I am only split in half ethnically. I can only imagine what it feels like for those people who have like five or more ethnicities mixed up in them
Continuing my rant on mixed race/mixed ethnicities

Lets process the reality of an individual who’s mixed between multiple ethnicities. The different ethnicities that the person is made up of are all located in different parts of the world, each ethnicity is unique & distinguishable, all ethnicities come with their own unique history, native heritage, language, etc... Having so many ethnicities mixed up in one person distorts & confuses everything.

To me a person made up of many ethnicities seems divided into many parts. Feels like small pieces of this person are scattered around the world. This person seems lost & rootless. How can such people know where they belong, and who their people are?

Ethnic ancestry doesn’t really exist for these people. These people cannot trace their ethnic ancestors & native ethnic heritage being that they’re a mixture of so many different ethnicities. These people’s culture is some new modern creature like the modern USA for example. They don’t have an ancient past... And since multi-racial/multicultural countries like USA do exist, doesn’t that mean that they need to come up with their own traditions, festivities, and develop their culture from scratch?

This is not me judging mixed-race/ethnicity people. This is me sympathizing with them. The damage caused by this probably runs deeper than we currently comprehend. It affects each individual, and spreads onto the rest of world...

This melting of ethnic indigenous cultures, and unique distinct races into one big blob has many negative consequences, one of which is the loss of ancient sacred knowledge, traditions, legends and myths of our ancient ancestors. All that has been passed down from the ancient world from generation to generation until today will be lost to us, because when ethnic cultures will disappear from our world, ancient knowledge will disappear with them.

The last remaining indigenous, ethnic cultures are our last source of truth, and the last honest place we can go to, to find clues & answers.... Modern mixing of cultures & races is meant to completely disconnect us from our genuine past, and the wisdom of our forefathers. So that we no longer have our ancestral fount of wisdom to rely on, and we feel totally lost, without ancestral guidance. We can’t know who we are, why we’re here, or where we’re going, if we don’t know where te came from. Being disconnected from our ancestors, and not having a culture/ethnicity to belong to makes us meek, weak, and obedient.

Everyone loves Antonio Vivaldi
I don’t understand the language, but I’ve always loved this song. It has a certain feel to it. Also she has a very beautiful voice
Interesting article on paganism
Every culture before the coming of monotheism and materialism had their shamans/wizards who used various tools during their rituals. One such tool was the drums used by most pagan cultures. Shamans/Seers/Volkhvs used a combination of drum, singing, spirit dance & sacred plants/mushrooms, along with other elements.

Until recently people were taught that the pagans were so ignorant that they worshipped any random tree stump or rock, and that their traditions, rituals, and rites were based on silly fairytales and superstition. Today people are finally doing a serious research into the ways of our pagan ancestors, and we are learning more and more that their ancient traditions, rituals and rites are often found to be backed up by the latest science. The sound of shamanic drums goes into the subject of psychoacoustic, and Cymatic frequency.

Cymatics is a very interesting topic. It illustrates how sound frequencies move through a particular medium such as water, air, or sand and as a result directly alter physical matter. There are a number of pictures all over the internet as well as youtube videos that demonstrate how matter (particles) adjust to different sounds and different frequencies of sound.
When it comes to ancient knowledge, sound, frequency and vibration have always been perceived as powerful forces that can influence and alter life all the way down to the cellular level. Sound healing methods are often used by Shamans, who employ drums and singing to access trance states.
I can’t say I follow his work, because I’m slightly familiar with his material, but I can say it’s interesting.


Nicolai or Nikolai Levashov was a Russian occultist and psychic healer who wrote several books on life in the universe, Slavic history, the origin of mankind on Earth and other topics.
