From the strange dark side of visionary spiritual conspiracy secrets, this poetic book of enigmas and brand new discoveries is much more than a collection of curious verse concoctions - Matrix Visions is a sneaky glimpse into the hypnotising matrix itself.
You’ll come across cryptic but plain poems like: The Malicious Magicians, Red Snake Rules, The Devil’s In The Detail, Alien Acupuncture and The 11:11. And you can discover hitherto untold secrets in: The Pentagon’s Hidden Half, Dollar Bill Devils And Dogs, The Secret Art History, The QR Code Code, How To Get A Face In Advertising and The Secret Sphinx, with plenty of picture examples along the way.
The red matrix is staring you right in the face. You just haven’t seen it yet.
He's the author of two true backpacking tales: Route Number 11 (about Harry's five-month drunken journey around Argentina; and across the borders to Paraguay, Chile and Brazil) and The Road To Purification (which describes his mad-as-hell pot-smoking trip around Egypt). In addition, Harry has written ten collections of distinctive poetry, including the much talked about New Beat Newbie, and the award-winning Rhyme and Rebellion.
Whitewolf also co-edited and contributed to The Anti-Austerity Anthology, a book for charity which has been featured in The Canary and on the Steve Topple and George Galloway online show.
Over the years, Harry has performed his poetry at the Portobello Festival, the Winchester literature fringe festival and numerous open mic. nights and gigs. These days however, he prefers making fun and quirky performance vids from the comfort of his smoky flat. You can find Harry's performances on his website: www.harrywhitewolf.com
He also writes and illustrates funny children's books, that grown-ups can enjoy too, under the pen name of Mr. Wolf. Check out Mr. Wolf's books and cartoon illustrations on his website: www.booksforchildren.wix.com/mrwolf
As if that weren't enough to be getting on with, Harry's poetry has appeared in four other anthologies and you can find his wacky fiction in the unique books ReejecttIIon - a number two and They're Making It Up As They Go Along, which Harry co-authored with Daniel Clausen. Whitewolf also wrote the foreword for punk-poet Andy Carrington's kick-arse book What's Wrong With The Street!
Amongst all of that, Harry somehow finds time for his day job as an article writer and illustrator.
Harry Whitewolf was born in England in 1976. He hopes to see world peace in his lifetime, and yes, Harry believes miracles are possible.
I read Matrix Visions today. I bought this book this morning and could not put it down. Harry contacted me a while back after reading some of my reviews. I love poetry and use rhyme a lot when I write a review. I find writing rhythmically therapeutic and it is a really good way to get one's point across. In a very short conversation Harry and I discovered that not only do we have a great deal in common but also share a lot of the same interests too. I truly recommend Matrix Visions. I really enjoyed the prose, I can relate to it strongly, and the book is well written. Harry Whitewolf understands words.
I am also very happy that Harry Whitewolf is now my friend.🐯👍🐯👍
Harry Whitewolf understands the written word
How words are swords, enlightening, loving, hateful, and Absurd
How words are used to indoctrinate, laws, statutes, and acts
Harry Whitewolf is outta his goddamn MIND, yo. Straight-up offa his friggin' NUT, I tell ya!
And trust me, that's a good thing. Seems to be the whole point of this book, really.
We're trapped inside our heads more often than not, in our bodies, these bags of bones that somehow fool us into thinking we are more than just energy. I don't know if it's reptiles or robots or God or something so benign as neutral physics holding everything in this Matrix of energy together, but make no mistake about it -- something IS holding it all together, and the definitive answer to this seems to have eluded us despite the best guesses of our greatest scientists, philosophers, and prophets since time remembered.
I myself remain skeptical of everything, including all the skeptics. I think that when we emphatically reject one limited, blinkered worldview, we're all too often prone to reflexively replacing it with yet another. It seems to be an unfortunate side effect of the human condition, at least insofar as this experience is defined by our limited perception and the search for truth/knowledge it seems to engender. Me, I'm just perceptive enough to perceive that I cannot even begin to perceive just how much my perception is lacking, but who knows? That could just be Descartes' demon playing tricks on me...
I don't have all the answers myself. I'm not sure how much there is to be gleaned from contemplating an upside-down image of the Sphinx or mirror images of the Pentagon. But, I do know that I've heard some pret-ty outlandish claims from our mainstream institutions of politics, religion, and other rotten-to-the-core edifices of mankind as well, so maybe there's something to this sort of counter-narrative after all? Maybe the point is just to think beyond what we can readily see with our eyes?
I don't generally go for rhyming poetry, because all too often it just winds up sounding so sing-songy to my ears, and there's only so far I can get into conspiracy theories before I'm rolling my eyes just as much as I'd be doing in the pews or during the State of the Union Address. Nevertheless, I found myself suitably impressed with much of Whitewolf's verse, and the passion of his convictions is evident in these pages.
If nothing else, I'd recommend this book as an exercise in broadening one's perspective and challenging our preconceived notions of reality. And also to readers obsessed with snakes, Satan, and magic tricks!
I picked this as my first Whitewolf because the title told me I would find something in common with those pages. I was right. I've always been the Red Pill type, and damn... did this rabbit hole goes all over. I enjoyed how it seemed to touch on just about every major conspiracy theory I know of. Even though I don't agree with every piece, I found a lot I liked. I had to collect all the scrap papers I scribbled on while reading this, and it took a minute since it seemed to take me forever to finish this one (sorry, Harry).
Anyway, Here's a list of the titles I jotted down: -The Monster -Strange Lands -Wrong Doors -The New Old Creatures -The Golden Spiral -In Fires -Animal Think (this one pried open my mind a little wider) -The Golden Coffin -G3RD (clever title, I like it.) -The Worm Has Learnt -The Devil Sitting in My Chair, paired with Don't Worry hit close to home. I have my own demons, not the typical omg-I-have-a-vice demon, but real demons. I won't go too into it here. You'll have to read about them in my work, but Harry will understand.... at least someone does.
I feel like there were way more that I enjoyed but, alas, that piece of scrap is lost.
I look forward to reading my next bit of Harry Whitewolf poetry soon!
Four starts for great word play and making me feel less insane! (In the not-so-alone type of way.)
Breaking News: The Whitewolf comes out of the closet!
No, not that closet. The conspiracy closet actually. For in this volume of mysterious poems he tackles conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory to reveal the mother of all conspiracies: THE matrix, which forms the illusion of what we all call everyday life, according to Whitewolf.
Also included as something that felt like a superdupa bonus to long-time fans of Whitewolf like me is a series of photographs that are perplexing to the say the least. They appear to show hidden symbols the elite are using in their logos, signs and political imagery to sway the subconscious minds of the masses via subliminal communication... The hidden images Harry has exposed in the design of the Pentagon seem beyond coincidental...
Well I've gone into the Matrix and Harry Whitewolf has guided me though it and out the other side...well I think I'm out...If Harry does a follow up book to this then obviously I had never left, time will tell. All these mad theories are new to me, thanks to Harry I've experienced the 11:11 phenomenom before and now I expect to see red snakes and faces everywhere.
The book is like a journey and it reminds me of Dante's Inferno, being guided through madness and hoping to make it out the other side.
A lot of the poems are very different to what Harry has done in the past, you get moments of past work, especially in the opening poem where you are welcomed to the Matrix, like that bloke in the top hat you see in the circus ring. Highlights for me were the version of Poe's "The Raven", this time featuring an owl, a mention of Johnny Depp's best movie "dead man", fav poem from the collection "Poe Soup" and the final poem showing you how to escape the matrix.
A wonderful collection and I'm looking forward to Harry reciting them on youtube.
The important thing about any belief is to challenge it. And this collection of poetry challenges you to roll back the years (in fact, the millennia) to ‘before the daydream’ and question your reality, to ask yourself; ‘is this all subjective’?
A heady blend of mysticism, conspiracy and polemic filled with the serpents, magicians and monsters of our shared prehistoric subconscious, these poems ‘cut through reality and step beyond the curtain’ of our modern day preoccupations (and misconceptions) to plunder our inherited memories in search of forgotten truths. Forget everything you know and allow a different perspective to show you some things you have never seen (or perhaps it would be more accurate to say; never noticed). And enjoy the ride as you do.
Something is a little askew in the world of Matrix Visions. This collection doesn’t ask the reader to make a leap, it doesn’t even plead its case, but slowly, unassumingly, purposefully, presents what it has to offer. This is the saving grace. When talking about revelations it’s easy to be compelled to proselytise but there is a welcome restraint and self awareness pervading these verses which undermines any reservations the reader may have. They ask attention and a listening spirit, after that you are on your own. Respect.
Whitewolf offers up an extensive smorgasbord of reflections of a spiritual, mystical and, more prominently, metaphysical kind, and in a questioning tone reminds the reader that there are many ways to be a seeker. It is a very personal path, one that at times it almost feels intrusive to be witness to. But as Whitewolf has extended the invitation, it’s only right to put preconceptions aside for the time spent here. This collection is difficult to encapsulate in a few sentences, strung together on a Friday afternoon. The primitive but timeless imagery is especially striking, and I’m left pondering on much of this one. The author understands his predicament: that claiming any level of spiritual insight, even one without demands, brings automatic skepticism in a spiritless age. And with good reason. I never got the feeling that Whitewolf wants anyone to follow him though. The good-humoured pragmatism of his searching words illustrate nothing more than an invitation to the reader to consider an alternative viewpoint.
I like being shown different ways to see. While truth and deceit battle it out in everyone’s heads it’s important to look at the joins, the betweens and get on with this mad life.
Interesting. Engaging. Raw and poetic. I liked it myself since I understand that a lot of conspiracy theories are in reality conspiracy fact. Persons who don't understand this may not really respond well to this piece of work but I did enjoy it and if goodreads would allow us to give half stars (when is this change happening goodreads??) then I would have given Matrix Visions 3.5 stars for sure.
I write this review safe in the knowledge the Harry Whitewolf knows I’m a fan. I’ve read eight of his other books and given them all either four or five stars... which is why it pains me slightly to have to give this one only three. (Not that three stars is bad; far from it; it’s still ‘I liked it’.)
While I did enjoy this book, I didn’t quite enjoy it as much as his others... and I think it’s because some of the (conspiracy) theories espoused in this tome are a little too far out even for this X-Files loving lifelong space cadet. Sorry, Harry! I still love you!
Did you know that if you listen to the audiobook of The Da Vinci Code on x1.25 speed and watch The Matrix trilogy at the same time it synchs up perfectly?
...
OK, if you just went to check to see if the running times match up, this book is definitely for you. Have a cup of peyote, listen to some Mark Snow and enjoy!
Nothing Makes Sense
Nothing can ever make sense Because everything is Opposite. But nothing once made sense; If you wish to see the double sentence.
Is it a coincidence that the Amazon location display shows exactly 11 pages ahead of the book's page numbering?
Whitewolf does an excellent job describing ever so poetically the deep thoughts we have all had to some degree, and wondered if there's any meaning behind them. He is here to tell us they are purposely put there for us to see and try to piece together the bigger picture. ...the map that leads us out of the matrix?
These clever poems allow us to use our imagination...we feel as we are in control as we can use our own interpretations of what we see, but yet we are entrapped by what we see.....surely Harry is an enigma!
"Don't look for God, cos if you find it, You'll see that madness is your only mindset So instead, be the piece that you have created Be matrix born and deep red painted Get your kicks with jigs, 'cos you dance as you stand And jig in the matrix with the mad Jigsaw Man"
(From 'The Jigsaw Man')
In Matrix Visions, Mr. Whitewolf reminds us to see the whole and not its parts, in art, and in this so-called reality. I found this collection to be brutally clever and fun, while opening my eyes even further with each poem and each mirrored image. Those who understand the Matrix are sure to find this book alarmingly brilliant.
My favorite Whitewolf collection, a poetry version of Subliminal Seduction and so much more. Harry's third eye sees the hidden creatures in average images (money, paintings, architecture), beckoning to our subconscious. Every piece is beautifully written with a great deal of thought on the hidden persuaders that we passively take for granted. It's all food for thought, so give up your hunger strike.
In some ways this book of poems and pics could be considered a dualistic gnostic treatise - albeit a pretty negative one. Whitewolf shares his interesting observations of hidden things in creative objects around us, i.e. art & architecture, and describes in poetic verse his perceptions of them. His predominate theme regards the illusions of earthly existence and the darker side of influence.
This is a very creative and unique approach in matrix/soul enslavement literature. It would be interesting if Whitewolf could balance it out with another volume offering the free-soul side of existence. While the language and concepts might be a bit cryptic for some, presenting them as poetry might spark the imagination and levels of abstraction for readers making them less obscure...more intuitive.
A nice collection of poetry, and interesting images. Going to read every book by this author, not sure yet if I will finish my reading challenge for the year but these books should be read. Prices are decent unlike some books here on Amazon(but that is my personal opinion of course).
The imagery- both literal & within a readers mind based on the chosen words are amazing. :)
