Santa is a Quantum Manifestation

Santa Claus is a quantum manifestation — also known as Schrödinger’s Claus.

The primordial entity dubbed Santa Claus (along with any numerous such entities worldwide known for the giving of gifts (Saint Nick), distribution of resources (Christmas spiders, Zwarte Pieten), consumption of individuals who fail moral or social obligations (Krampus or Jólakötturinn) and the like has been determined to be a quantum entity.

Such varied manifestations include:

  • Father Christmas: The modern Santa Claus is based on folklore traditions surrounding Father Christmas.
  • In Britain, Father Christmas wears a green cloak, a wreath of holly or ivy, and carries a staff.
  • In Nigeria, Father Christmas is dressed in red and has a white beard.
  • Sinterklaas: In the Netherlands, Santa Claus is known as Sinterklaas.
  • In Aruba, Sinterklaas wears blackface makeup and Spanish-style clothing.
  • Jultomten: In Sweden, Jultomten is a small, old, bearded gnome who travels with goats to deliver presents.
  • Krampus: In Germany, Krampus is a demonic being that whips and kidnaps children who have misbehaved.
  • Three Reyes Magos: In Spain, well-behaved children receive gifts from the three Reyes Magos (three Wise Men).
  • Mikulas: In Central Europe, Santa Claus is known as Mikulas.
  • Befana: In Italy, Santa Claus is known as Befana.
  • Yule Goats and Pixies: In Northern Europe, Santa Claus is associated with Yule Goats and Pixies.
  • Thirteen Yule Lads: In Iceland, Santa Claus is associated with thirteen Yule Lads.

There are many other such legends all around the world. Most or all have been determined to be connected to a Lovecraftian and unknowable being who has become entangled with humanity.

Long before the man in the red suit was bringing toys to children on Christmas, La Befana — a good-natured witch who flies around on a broomstick — was doing the same for good children in Italy. She has been a part of Italian folklore since the 8th century. According to the story, the three wise men came upon La Befana’s house on Christmas Eve when they were journeying to see baby Jesus. She gave the wise men shelter and they asked her to join them to visit the Christ child. She declined, but then later changed her mind and tried to catch up with the magi. However, she never found her way to Bethlehem, and now every night on the Eve of the Epiphany on January 5, she flies over Italy and gives toys and candy to good children, while leaving coal for the naughty ones

Joulupukki, also known as the Yule goat, has been nicknamed the Finnish Santa. Before globalism naturally combined traditional Scandinavian customs with modern-day Santa Claus, the Yule goat was a malevolent spirit associated with the Norse god Odin who knocked on doors and demanded gifts and leftovers from the Yuletide feasts. Nowadays, Joulupukki still goes around to each house, but will instead inquire, “Onko täällä kilttejä lapsia?” (“Are there any well-behaved children here?”) and hand out presents. He drives a sleigh pulled by reindeer that do not actually fly.
Tió de Nadal is a log with a painted-on smiley face who defecates presents (yes, really!). In the Catalonian region of Spain, children place Tió de Nadal under the Christmas tree and “feed him” nuts and dried fruit in the days leading up to Christmas, while simultaneously keeping him warm under a blanket. On Christmas Eve, the children beat poor Tió with sticks and sing a rather graphic song about bodily functions. The next morning, the children will find that Tió de Nadal has defecated a pile of gifts and sweets.
Sinterklaas is the Dutch version of Santa Claus who most resembles St. Nicholas, the patron saint of children and inspiration for the modern Santa Claus legend. Sinterklaas rides on his horse outside the Het Loo Palace in the Netherlands. P. M. (Pieter) Wiersinga/ Wikimedia Commons
The Yule Lads are 13 mischievous Icelandic elves — who instead of making toys in Santa’s workshop — play tricks on children. Pottasleiki for instance, will steal your leftovers, while Gryla — the mother of the 13 Yule Lads — will kidnap you if you have behaved badly. During the 13 nights leading up to Christmas, Icelandic children place their shoes by the windowsill in the hopes that one of the 13 Yule Lads will leave them small gifts or candies. Misbehaved children will instead receive rotten potatoes in their shoes
Occasionally, I have children ask me “But Santa, what gifts do you get besides the milk and cookies?” I give them a warm smile. “Awww, thank you for asking!” I lean in a bit. “Well, just like you, I exchanged gifts with my loved ones. But you are probably asking about the folks I visit?” They nod. “You know that feeling you get- where you’ve gotten a present for someone, wrapped it, and they are just about to open it? And then the look on their faces as they get a big smile, and their eyes open wide?” The child is now smiling wide, just like I am. “Imagine sharing that feeling 396 million times. That is my Christmas gift. That and when folks go out and do nice things for others, without expectation of reward. That’s the marvelous feeling I get to share every year. I’m 1,753 years old. And I can tell you, the memories of those moments last a lot longer than the gifts do. And thank you for thinking of me. This is one of the reasons you are absolutely on the nice list.”| Santa True https://theilluminatedsanta.com/

This entity, for reasons they do not choose to enlighten us to, engages in an effort to understand humanity and will periodically when our worlds align, manifest in our reality. Their many properties spoken about in song are based in their non-Euclidean existence.

Able to be aware of all of humanity at all times, by virtue of their static and three-dimensional existence, they are able to understand peer along your temporal framework in the fourth dimension morality, and instantly recognize transgressions against others.

Some cultures make music to attract the attention of this entity others to ward away its more malicious tendencies. Every region has its own interation with this literal spirit of the season with most including songs and paens of kindness in the hopes they will manifest such things in the people of a region as it passes.

Their ability to travel the world in a single night is based solely upon their mutable quantum state, able to engage in superposition manifestations, and as such, they can appear, not by speeding around the world as expected but as a wave of probability appearing in a particular region all at the same time.

Because of their ephemeral state, responding to our expectations, it no longer appears in a single night but as a wave of probability sweeping across the globe, tracked by television programs and news organizations.

During conversations with the being during its manifestations over the centuries, part of their legend recommends a period of non-observance, believed to be a necessary statute, because their observance is suspected to collapse their probability wave and instead of many house getting gifts in a region, only one does, (ironically, it is the house where they are observed).

To offset this, their legend has added an additional coal statute which says if they see YOU, seeing them, you will surely get coal or other undesired outcome unless a proper sacrifice of cookies, milk or other delectable is left behind in penance. Thus, if you see them, and they choose to be distracted by your gift, they may also choose to leave or not to leave a surprise for your efforts.

Mostly, for naughty individuals, they get the standard manifestation of coal particles, and they disappear, to their next probability-defined manifestation.

Others may receive a second visitation, a manifestation which may choose to cart away the offenders for later consumption or otherworldly entertainment.

As to the significance of the quantum manifestation of a travel vehicle and associated totem animals such as polar bears or reindeer, they are likely the Human mind trying to reconcile the appearance of a fifth dimensional being upon their third dimensional consciousness.

Children, whose minds are still forming are able to see the entity in a more perfect state and their expectations become their perception of reality. Few modern scientists have been able to capture meaningful representations of this Chthonic being, since their entire facilities have been spirited away in the night for trying.

“It has since become clearer, however, that the uncertainty principle is inherent in the properties of all wave-like systems, and that it arises in quantum mechanics simply due to the matter wave nature of all quantum objects. In all modern depictions of Santa Clause, he is seen waving.”
