Podcast 39 - Occult History of Judeo-Christianity

“… the price of ignorance is destruction … So if people want to continue being ignorant and think that every time you bring knowledge their way that it is some sort of a threat, then there is no hope for the human race … You can’t approach the archive of knowledge with fear. You should approach it with awe. But you should never approach knowledge with fear, because then you will only see the reflection of fear back. So it is not that these subjects are evil … or fearful, but people are approaching [them] with a wrong energy and a wrong attitude and it is like a mirror where you see your own reflection in it.”

Michael Tsarion returns in this episode to discuss the hidden lineage of western religion based on the research from his new book, “The Irish Origins of Civilization.”

Ancient trilithons like the one above are doorways through which the sun enters the world - a birthplace of light.

Michael talks about the worldwide megalithic, Druidic civilization, also referred to by some as the “lost civilization”, that built the great megaliths of antiquity in Ireland, Britain, Egypt, Lebanon, the Americas, Cambodia, etc. These enlightened societies were not divided racially, but along moral, spiritual, and intellectual lines. It is from these ancient peoples and their worldwide system of colleges and temples that the concepts of modern religion were taken.

Our conversation touches upon ancient Druids, Egyptian pharaohs, astrotheology, suppressed history, occult symbolism, etymology, mythology, and esoteric Christianity. Although we go into depth discussing these subjects, to truly understand the monumental significance of this all, read “The Irish Origins of Civilization.”

Podcast 38 - A Conversation on Ancient Egypt

Podcast 38 - A Conversation on Ancient Egypt

clipped from www.occultofpersonality.com

In this episode, Kentroversy returns to discuss ancient Egypt. Our conversation covers many different topics, including past lives, alternative history, religion, Hermetics, Alchemy, Tarot, and Magick. Although neither of us are “experts” in an academic sense with regard to egyptology, we have both spent years investigating the research available on the mysteries of the ancient world. Kent also shares his personal esoteric connection.

Of course, the architecture and craftsmanship has to be addressed, mainly the pyramids and temples. The appearance of high civilization followed by a descent in technology, architecture, art, etc. cannot be avoided. We also talk about The Emerald Tablet, the concept of Hermes Trismegistus, and much, much more.

As always, Kent brings interesting and original ideas to the table for this latest installment of our ongoing dialogue. Hopefully you enjoy our conversations as much as we do.

Podcast 36 - Modern Mythology with Christopher Knowles

Podcast 36 - Modern Mythology with Christopher Knowles

clipped from www.occultofpersonality.com

In this episode, we’re joined by author Christopher Knowles. The discussion revolves around his new book, “Our Gods Wear Spandex, The Secret History of Comic Book Heroes.” We talk about the history of comic books and how the ideas contained and promoted in this medium can be traced directly to esoteric and occult concepts.

“The collision of science, morality, and magic is being played out hundreds of times a month in comic books and other media, showing us the implications of superhuman potential. Is this an unconscious form of preparation for an inevitable shift in human reality? Should we pay more careful attention to the visionaries and lunatics who anticipate the future in comic-book storylines? In that supernatural realm called the human imagination, comic-book creators like Alan Moore and Alex Ross may be time-travelers, forecasting the future for us and showing us the way. It’s funny how it all seems so similar to the ancient myths. The past and future are always with us.”

Lupa joins us to discuss Therioshamanism, her innovative and creative magickal work, and her books.

Therioshamanism has been defined by Lupa as shamanic animal spirit magic. A totally new system that she is creating and journaling about on her new blog - Therioshamanism.com. Prior to beginning this path, Lupa has written a number of books regarding neopagan animal magic, including “Fang and Fur, Blood and Bone: A Primal Guide to Animal Magic” and “A Field Guide to Otherkin.”

Our conversation also covers the interesting and controversial concepts of cultural appropriation, “plastic shamanism,” entheogens, as well as how someone who feels connected to these traditions can become more involved. In addition, we touch on the fascinating new book by Lupa and her husband Taylor Ellwood, “Kink Magic: Sex Magic Beyond Vanilla.”

A very innovative, creative, and well-spoken occult practitioner, Lupa’s work is interesting, original, and worth checking out.

Podcast 31 - "Scrying the Universe" with T Allen Greenfield

nobody@vox.com(Occult of Personality) — Sun, 21 Oct 2007 18:28:10 +0200

clipped from www.occultofpersonality.com

T Allen Greenfield returns to the program, reprising his earlier appearance, to discuss some rare books for sale, the “The Secret Rituals of the Men in Black,” extraterrestrials, ancient civilizations, Points Chauds, and contact.

In our conversation, we cover some of the truly shocking conclusions that he reached:

“All serious magical rituals are a hidden advanced technology, concealed in a cipher now revealed. The Ultraterrestrials have been our teachers, puppet masters, body snatcher, lovers, and slave masters. Among us are Adepts who are in league with them, from the ancient priesthoods of light and darkness, to the Hidden Church of Light or Great White Brotherhood, and the Dark Lodges or the Black Lodge. Other adepti have raised themselves beyond the human condition and, as Ascended Masters are at once our ancestors, benefactors and an indicator of what we, as humans can become… The Ultraterrestrials, behind smoke, mirrors, and illusion both need us and are afraid of us.”

Philip Coppens is one of the world’s foremost esoteric researchers. He joins me to discuss his investigations into the world’s Mysteries. We discuss how he began his career and the many amazing subjects he’s covered, including the Knights Templar, Rennes le Chateau, and some of the research from his latest book, “The New Pyramid Age.”

The conversation also covers the work Philip does in combining the “Mind, Body, Spirit” and his open-minded and reasoned approach. He talks about the possibility of different research disciplines (metaphysics, occult, paranormal, spiritual, ufology, etc.) combining their study and why it is important to consider. Also, his analysis on the roles of science and organized religion in modern society is quite incisive. Last, we talk about Conspiracy Times. Few researchers are talented enough to reveal meaning, yet allow the air of mystery to remain. Coppens is one of them.

For Those Who Haven't Been Paying Attention ... the New Aeon is Already Upon Us

The Moon

clipped from synkronos23.vox.com

LONDON - A giant statue of the ancient Egyptian god of the dead floated down the Thames on Monday, turning heads as it crossed under London's Tower Bridge.

The 25-foot fiberglass representation of the jackal-headed god was taken down the river on the back of a cargo ship to Trafalgar Square, where it will stand for three days before moving to various locations around the capital.

Anubis' arrival is part of an effort to promote an exhibition of the treasures taken from the tomb of the ancient Egyptian King Tutankhamun. The show, "Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs," opens Nov. 15 at London's O2, previously known as the Millennium Dome.

Podcast 27 - H.P. Lovecraft Roundtable Discussion

nobody@vox.com(Occult of Personality) — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 23:52:52 +0200

clipped from www.occultofpersonality.com

“That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange aeons, even death may die.”

H.P. Lovecraft is considered by many, myself included, to be the ultimate supernatural and horror fiction writer. Joining me to discuss his work and life are Tracy R. Twyman, Kent Daniel Bentkowski, and Todd Campbell.

“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

Lovecraft’s gravestone rubbing (courtesy of Todd Campbell) reads, “I AM PROVIDENCE“

Pinchbeck vs. Strieber

nobody@vox.com(Occult of Personality) — Sat, 15 Sep 2007 17:34:15 +0200

Check out an interesting discussion on future perspectives and the nature of 2012. Daniel Pinchbeck (glass half-full) dissects Whitley Strieber's (half-empty) views about the future of humanity. Very dramatic.

Alien Dreamtime: My Fight with Whitley Strieber

This is a long-winded preamble to a post on my fight, during a taped radio interview that will be aired this weekend, with the bestselling author of alien abduction memoirs and science fiction novels, and Dreamtime radio host, Whitley Strieber. Both Strieber and I were surprised by the virulence of this verbal battle - he said that I had assaulted him in his very being, and that we were no longer friends - but actually it was quite predictable based on my analysis of his work and the alien abduction phenomenon in 2012. (Strieber writes on his view of our argument here.)

I suspected that Strieber was influenced by the force that the visionary philosopher Rudolf Steiner called “Ahriman,” the evil spirit who pulls humanity down into minerality, materiality, sterile technology, and extinction.

and unfortunately he is helping disseminate their negative and destructive frequency into human culture and consciousness

Artist, writer, and visionary Neil Hague joins us to discuss his work and many related subjects. The mastery of painting and drawing that allows him to portray profound ideas is remarkable.

Neil and I discuss a wide range of topics including consciousness, creativity, art, mysticism, spirituality, religion, and tarot. I think you’ll find Neil’s perspective to be quite interesting and uplifting. Be sure to check out Neil’s excellent books - “Journeys in the Dreamtime,” which explores the ‘illusion of time’ and ancient myths and archetypes as understood by the great visionaries, as well as, “Through Ancient Eyes - Seeing Hidden Dimensions - Exploring Art and Soul Connections.”

Neil’s work is not only enjoyable and informative, it is quite important to truly understanding the world around us and how it came to be so.

Neil Hague’s web site - NeilHague.com, which has a lot of wonderful artwork and articles

Books by Neil - includes “Journeys Into Dreamtime” and “Through Ancient Eyes”
