Our good friend Mitch Horowitz returns in this episode to reveal the amazing life of Colonel Henry Steel Olcott (1832-1907). Our conversation starts with young Olcott’s humble beginnings, early successes in scientific agriculture, and investigations into military contractor corruption during the U.S. Civil War and the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. It was after this point that Olcott’s life took an even more interesting turn.

Mitch describes how Olcott met Madame Blavatsky. The two helped found the Theosophical Society soon thereafter. Olcott served as the first president of the organization and did a tremendous amount to advance their cause. We talk about their Mahatmas and Olcott’s experiences with the Masters. Mitch describes the fascinating story of young Mohandas Gandhi’s involvement with Theosophy. We also discuss the Herculean work Olcott did to promote Buddhism and Hinduism. It is nothing short of miraculous how a man from such humble beginnings, without a formal education, was able to influence literally billions of people.

Our good friend Christopher Moors of CreativeCosmos.org returns in this episode to discuss the exploration of the inner realms.

Chris begins our conversation by talking about bringing the soul into the body, making space for this process to occur, separating the subtle from the gross, and being open to new feelings and experiences. This leads into talking about the myriad ways that conscious unfoldment might manifest.

Psychic abilities like intuition, telepathy, clairvoyance, clairaudience, and visions have been experienced by those who align the outer and inner worlds. We also speak about animals and interacting with them.

Dr. Paul Clark is a renowned writer and lecturer, as well as the Steward of the Fraternity of the Hidden Light, or F.L.O. (Fraternitas L.V.X. Occulta). F.L.O. is a Mystery school in the western esoteric tradition. Dr. Clark joins us to discuss the nature and purpose of the Fraternity of the Hidden Light, and what it offers to its members.

“Dr. Paul Clark began esoteric studies at an early age by corresponding with W.E. Butler. When Paul reached the age of twelve, W.E. Butler suggested Paul contact the Reverend Ann Davies, who was then Prolocutor-General of the Builders of the Adytum and thus began a long and rewarding relationship. Paul spent the next thirteen years studying under Ann Davies and Paul was a member of a select circle of seven “stewards” receiving advanced instruction directly from Ann.

In 1982, Paul and a group of Initiates of high grade, founded the Fraternity of the Hidden Light, an Aquarian Age Mystery School. As Steward of the Fraternity, Paul is known for his ability to inspire others to take their spiritual evolution in hand so that they may achieve their full potential as co-creators.

Paul has written several books including “The Book of the Rose”, “The Secret Cipher of the Golden Dawn” and “The Broken Seal” and has authored two instructional courses taken by numerous students around the world: “The Threshold” and “The Path of Return”.”

Paul Tisdell is a surfer, initiate, scribe, and teacher. He joins us to discuss his awakening process and spiritual journey, the compilation of Wisdom, and his work in the field of Hermes.

Even if it is for the Greater good (in my opinion) it is still a form of brainwashing and evangelism. We all are guilty.

 

Now I am not trying to be cynical at all. Because I share a similar thought as the person narrorating this video. I agree with much of what he said. But I looked at this video through as many perspectives as I could. First my ego was reeled in because I was enjoying what he was saying. He was talking about archetypes and basic human needs and change. He explained things in many different ways. From a scientist's, a journalist's, a mathmeticians, a philospher's, a priest, a psychologist or a layman could understand and want to embrace. But I did notice how it captured my attention and then got me wanting to be apart of it. I took myself out of the situation for a moment. Call this remote viewing if you will without the meditation. I saw it as a theatrics or puppet show to get my attention. I saw the lights and the motion and I remembered where I had saw these fascinating and spectacular designs. I had seen them in hypnotic illustrations or tools to mesmerize. I also saw the fractals and the beauty of the universe in so many layers.Dancing in that very famous spiral that seems to take us to that alternate perception.  I heard the music that lulled me to sleep. It was very charming and I was very receptive to the message that was given. Some people are just more susceptible to the trance. It is not that I really mind what we were being asked to do. To believe in ourselves. To not give up. To see that there is something else out there besides what we could have thought existed. But I did notice that someone was using these tools to build the world into what they want it to be. The narrator's voice is soft and suggestive. If you have ever tried any hypgnosis courses you will learn that this is part of the show. To distract the visual, to calm the physical and to place that person altered state. It really comes down to the intent of the magician.

 

 

 

I want to be part of this movement. I want change and I want people to become super heroes and save us or help us escape. I want to understand the many layers of our existence and realize that we are just part one big cosmic ocean or a germ in the dimension of an even larger cosmos. How do we even know what is big or little? What do we have to measure it to?I know that things exist on many different levels and I am just a miniscule part of that great big existence....yeah yeah beat it into my head that I am nothing in any form that it can come across. But I can't help but see this as an opportunity to think that I am apart of the everything and that is a wonderful and inspiring feeling and I want to help others feel that way. But I can't make them realize that. So I keep on broadcasting and maybe I will start thinking of ways like these guys to broadcast the message to more people.  I don't really think it matters about who's broadcast is louder and more believable. I think its more about realizing that you want to work with other people who believe in themselves and want to see change. What will it hurt? We haven't tried it before so let's give it a try. I believe because I exist. I exist because I believe. I believe in you and me. You believe in you and me. There are so many ways to describe the universe. I think if more people got together who believed in similar things and started a network there is nothing that would be impossible.

This one taught a similar message and inspired hope but targeted another angle. Since I love cartoons and the super hero style of the scientist character it charmed me in another way. It was still another form of magick. I was reeled in and taken to another dimension in my own mind for a little while. What if somewhere else in another dimension these thoughts that I had created that exact scenario that I saw and heard? Because I witnessed it became a real manifestation? What if the things that I was thinking about became physical manifestations in an alternate dimension that I can't physically see. Doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. It just means that I don't see it. I thought it up so it existed as a thought in my head for  a little while. Until I quit thinking about it, it is there for a moment in time. It has a place, in my head, it takes up space, as a thought in my mind with dimensions and features that I give it. Its a live for a little while. It goes to the back buried as a memory (death or Past or unknown). These are my storage files of association. These are my halls of knowledge and make me the person that I am. The route of my existence. Now I may share this existence with you. What if everyone else that watched this video did the same thing with the characters. Your thoughts and my thoughts are manifestations or realities even though we can feel them or touch them. The more people that know them by that name and description the more people that create them into being. We control the environment. We can change the channel.

We exist and I know you exist Even if I haven't met you. I still am here with you because there is proof in this. You are reading this and I wrote it. We are both here in this world. Maybe some people aren't psychic they are just more in tune with the probability of actions maybe they can figure it out and see things differently. It is always nice to get more people working on something. People do the same routines but on different levels of involvement and understanding. We all are basically trying to do the same thing. Exist and understand the reason for our existence. It is baffeling and time-consuming. But one day you might finally realize what you needed to know. You have all these people that you met and helped you get to that understanding or level. They all built that and are all apart of what you call YOU. But in another respect you can also make things up as you go along. Give it a name. It will exist. Think it up. Make it. Create it. Believe it. Or build it. That is the key to existence. Existence is what you personally make it.
 

I have watched many family members stop existing because of some disease and they were doing fine until they found out about it. Then they are given a bunch of literature as part of the process of information to tell them what illness they have (that they never new before and was not bothered by) but now they look for all these symptoms and start becoming the illness. Then they are given this therapy to fix it. And they believe everything is fixed because of this medicine. Then you have the ones that everything is going well but the doctor keeps telling you you aren't going to make it. Then they listen to the doctor and there family knows too and they give up. But things were going well until they gave up. Friends and family members usually give up on them. They go around sharing grievances before its time and living each day like it is there last. No one knows which day is there last. I don't care how psychic they are. Maybe their readings come true because the individual that received them believe the message and make it manifest. I refuse to give up. So I believe that people can change anything they set their mind too. There are things that happen that no one can predict. I don't blame it on karma and I can look to my past and learn from the mistakes. I know this world is built on patterns. The same crap that happened during the Bronze age is the same crap that is going on today. There are just different levels and forms of crap.

The more people who believe in a particular theory. The more it will grow in power as the numbers of people adding to the belief consensus. Because of this, the popular theory or belief will reflected in our universe or global or group consciousness. The more people who look for possibilities the better. But we can also do this on a singular level too. within our own world. We can't be expected to help save the universe if we can't master our own life. But to who's standard to we use as a guide. To whoms rules do we adhere to. I understand the problem of the previous civilizations. Well as much as I can from my level of understanding. I understand that stuff happens because people have become subservient to thinking that this is just how it is and there is nothing that they can do. People want a guide book. They want a map plotted out for them but who should be the map maker. There are so many levels of exploration. WE have charted most of the physical meridians and lines but there is so much more that remains a mystery. To master these levels we have to look to new heights and channels to open up those experiences. In the past there have been many forms of this experience. These shifts in consciousness. It is part of the evolution and I am so greatful to be a witness to it. But there will be as many ups and downs as we believe there will be. It can be as hard or easy as we make it. I think everyone should write the script to their own lives. If more people try to come up with solutions we will find a resolution to all of the problems besides Unforseen events. War or chaos the Environment, playing with weather machines, testing guinnea pigs for research, creating media, thriving the industry, the game of chess that is played by all the Gods setting safely inside the barriers of their kingdoms that we have built on our backs brick by brick while they are safe and we are merely entertainment. We all entertain each other in some fashion or form. We all hate each other in some fashion and we all thrive on the chaos. There are just different levels of it. Truth seekers. Just be true to yourself. All the saviours have been trying to tell you that the truth would set you free. That truth is whatever you believe in. If we believe we can make our problems disappear, maybe we can but we have to make an effort to direct the energy or do we even have to do anything at all? Maybe that is the key. We just stop doing what other people tell us to do.

It is so hard to stop telling people what to do. I am telling everyone what I think should be done. Don't listen to me. Too late. You already did. Can't take that back. I left an imprint with you. If you even got this far I am proud of you for reading all this crap that is spewing from my mouth. I don't have an answer for you. I am still trying to figure out my answer. What is my truth? What is my true will? What do I want to do? What should I do? Do unto others as you would have done unto you. Thats a great universal code.

Lon Milo DuQuette is one of the preeminent occult writers and speakers of modern times. His work spans the subjects of Tarot, ceremonial Magick, Qabalah, and religion. He injects insight, understanding, humanity, and humor into his work that makes it both enlightening and joyous.

Lon joins us to discuss his interest in the Thoth Tarot, Solomonic Magick, Qabalah, and his new book, “Accidental Christ - The Story of Jesus (As Told By His Uncle),” a work of historical religious fiction.

Our conversation also covers his research into the mythological King Solomon and the secrets of Masonry, a very humorous look at the occult correspondence of one “Stonehenge Equinox,” the importance of the contributions of Israel Regardie and the recently departed Dr. Christopher Hyatt, and the crucial concept of making life Magickal and not making Magick your life.

The Quotable DuQuette:

“I can only change one thing with Magick - myself.”

“Do I think I’m a holy man? Sometimes.”

“It’s all in your head. You just have no idea how big your head is.”

“If we can’t wake up to the fact that deep down inside we are good, then we deserve to remain asleep dreaming we are evil.”

Could angels been aliens? Couldn't the chariots of fire depicted in religious texts be considered alien machinery? Couldn't the mythical creatures such as griffins and dragons and sea monsters been alien creatures or machinery of an advanced civilization. What could have appeared as burning bushes, or resurrection from the dead or heavenly ascension were actually the occurrence of teleportation or hyper-dimensional travel between worlds. Cavemen or primitive man may have portrayed these things as god-like or supernatural. What does supernatural really mean? When we look at the words super and natural, wouldn't it automatically pop into your mind of beyond or above our natural perception. What we are comfortable or accustomed to. Anything out of the ordinary would seem extra-ordinary to us. As for extra sensory perception beyond the natural or normal state of the consensus of society. But does it really need to be a consensus theory?

What bothers me most about alien, angel, ufo, religious or supernatural experiences is that people generally believe that what they believe is normal and everyone else is silly for what they believe in. No matter how silly their own personal belief may be, everyone outside of their particular dogmatic practice is out of their mind or making it up because they can't believe in an alternate version of the story. That is a coping mechanism called denial.They can believe that Jesus died on a cross and went to heaven and will return to get us one day. But do not believe any of this Ashtar Command or Galactic Federation buzz or in the possibility that there could be aliens. In fact some of you that maybe reading this would probably think I am a little wacky for even mentioning this. I didn't say that I personally believed this but automatically you think that I do. Or maybe I am just paranoid. I believe that these supernatural events are a mixture of things. It doesn't really matter what I believe. It only matters what you believe.

I was reading a link earlier that Greg from Occult of personality had sent me because of my fascination with Alien and Angel lore. They have added some automatic writings or channeled messages from Lord Ashtar from the Galatic Brotherhood of Light to the listings of sacred text. It is official enough people believe in this stuff to make it to Sacredtext.com. http://www.sacred-texts.com/ufo/idtc/idtc01.htm

These channeled documents were written by Ethel P. Hill in 1957. These documents are called “ In Days to Come” and if you will read the foreward and the contents of the text, I believe you will see many similarities in whatever religious or philosophical ideas you may possess. To me this is just another version of Christianity or any other religious material. It has its own special branding that has that dogmatic tone to it. These beings identify with whatever name that you use for god and communicate that to you. So for this person to say that God and Christ or Ashtar is an emmissary of this christ consciousness is just another form of the many versions of religion and philosophy that there are to choose from and the channeled messages are biased by the concepts and understanding of the person receiving the messages. They have to use some form of personal relation to form cognitive and rational(or irrational) association from within their own mind to form a relation from brain (processor/receptor) to hand to physical communication/dictation. They have to use some thought from their own ego and collective ego. This piece does seem a little guided to the American Christian Concept and the NEW AGE-we have replaced Jesus with a Goddess perception. This is my opinion. I am not saying whether to believe this or not to believe this or if its true. It is not my desire to tell you what to think or believe. 

I am a skeptic most of the time. But if my beliefs are based on what I want them to be based on I would rather them be based on hope and not on war and destruction. I hope that many others share this mindset and I think that most of that is attributed to personal perception and awareness. I think part of this is because it is inside our dna and we are finally activating ourselves. That is what the secret societies and religious, spiritual, drug, social and philosophical gurus have been selling. Some people are finally evolving without the aid of gurus. They may finally be listening to that voice inside their own head.  Common sense, awareness and/Or tuning in their frequency to a different channel. NO ONE HAS ALL THE ANSWERS. NO ONE KNOWS THE TRUTH. I am not asking anyone to believe this stuff but it is nice to see another perspective. It is a good read, even if it is to have material to mock people with. I am doing my part to spread a message. I don't care what you do with the information after reading it. But I felt compelled to share it on my blog.

What about all the fairy tales and epic legends? What about all of these things that happened but we are told over and over again that it is not real until we have ceased to believe in anything that is not dictated or given to us. Every country, tradition, civilization , tribe all have given accounts of the same stories in different description. They may have changed the labels and the imagery but the message remains the same. How can all these different people who live in different parts of the world all form and share the same types of ideas? These are the same stories just different names given to the characters. The morals are the same. The teachings are the same. We all live in the same world and we all share this life and effect each other. All these countries seem to share these stories or as the synchronicity bloggers would suggest that they are all some how synchromystically linked.

I don't think its synchromystically linked. I think we are all programmed to tune in to the same channel or frequency. WE are all branded and given the same tools to carve out the same passive lives in the same stone walls. We are sent to the same institutions of learning and given the same religious BS to give us the same mental disorders and relieved by the same prescription pills. This is a different type of medication and lulled into pacifism, but instead this time the tools are muted minds and voices and carved out in padded rooms. If you all believe the same shit in some form or another it sets up a world based on bullshit that was created as a mechanism for control. We all patrol and govern each other. We all follow orders from someone. Even if it is painted up in the idea of a god or eternal salvation. We are not truly free except in our mind and that is just part of the time. If we are told what to believe by so many external forces how can you know that what you believe isn't just what they want you to believe? Just where is the source of all the beliefs? Who is this “they” anyways? How do you know what is true when the truth is based on a bunch of lies? How do you know who is telling the truth? How do you know which religion is the right religion? How do you know you're not wrong? Does it really matter? Who will know when we are all dead? Will we even care? I mean we will be dead. When you find out what happens when you die are you gonna come back from the dead just to tell me?

This happens to everyone and starts from birth with our parents. It is guided and molded and if we show any side of individuality or creativity we are forced back into the mold. But sometimes a few dreamers escape to share hope with others. WE are built out of our own and shared or group beliefs.. We have the power to be whatever we want to be. In honesty, there are no gods or rulers of the world unless you decide that there is. Control only works if you let someone else make decisions for you. That is why communism never has worked because it is still letting one person speak for the many. One ring to bind them all. Well there is one ring that b
