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.”

In this episode, Jennifer Emick, the guide to alternative religions on About.com joins me to discuss the Alternative Religions web site, her interest in the esoteric and mystical side of religion, the importance of tolerance concerning religious views and practices, and the positive and negative aspects of spirituality. Her balanced perspective is appreciated as promoting both understanding and reasoned analysis.

Of particular interest are the ideas about the human flaws of spiritual teachers, as well as the degeneration of spiritual groups after the teachers depart. This is usually illustrated by the advancement in the significance of dogma. Jennifer also describes the struggle by witches for mainstream acceptance versus identification with past persecution. She notes how this recognition can result in a loss of freedom.

In addition, we touch upon the concept that most, if not all, religions originate from a teacher well-versed in the ancient Mysteries.

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

Jake Kotze, of The Brave New World Order, joins us to discuss his work. Jake delves into research that shows the connections between occult and esoteric symbolism, current events, movies and television, and how these connections can be used to learn more about our world and ourselves. It is always a pleasure speaking with Jake, and a learning experience as well. We discuss his video production, synchromysticism, and, of course, 9-11. Be sure to check out all his latest videos and research on his web site - The Brave New World Order.

Welcome to the Rt. Rev. T Allen Greenfield, who joins us to discuss one of his books, “Secret Cipher of the UFOnauts.”

The book describes the cipher, its use throughout history, its discovery in Liber AL vel Legis (The Book of the Law), and how Allen found it could be utilized in instances of UFO contact to derive meaning from the odd names the entities provided. The discovery of the cipher and its usage opens up a very likely “missing link” bridging the understanding between the worlds of spiritual and magick occult concepts and the entities from UFOs, contactees, and Men In Black. This linkage is key to truly comprehending the hidden realms that seem to impose themselves upon on our world with regularity.

Thanks so much to Dr. Greenfield for taking time to join us to discuss his controversial research!

Todd Campbell is an eso-researcher who writes a blog entitled, “Through the Looking Glass.” He joins us to discuss the historical events that have occurred on, or around, the date of April 19. Todd synchromystically connects many of these modern occurrences with mythology, resulting in some interesting symbolical resonances.

Specifically, he refers to the goddess Ceres and the Roman festival of Cerelia in relation to current events. We get into discussing the Virginia Tech massacre, this being a perfect illustration of the type of unsettling and often violent history of these days of the year.

Due to some extreme audio problems at the start of our conversation, I was forced to excise a portion, resulting in a rather abrupt beginning. As the dialogue opens, Todd and I are discussing author William S. Burroughs and how his view of the universe spoke deeply to Todd and his own feelings about the present and future of our world.
