• 0:06
  Speaker 2: What's going to happen?
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: What?
• 0:17
  Speaker 4: I you?
• 0:24
  Speaker 5: Welcome to the Occult Rejects. We are joined today by
• 0:29
  Speaker 5: Peter Gray, who is the shit now. I can't even
• 0:33
  Speaker 5: open the thing, of course, I'm sorry, Peter, but you
• 0:38
  Speaker 5: are ocultist, magician, sorcerer of summer now quite a bit
• 0:42
  Speaker 5: and Scarlett Imprint is a major publishing press, probably the biggest,
• 0:46
  Speaker 5: probably the most well known, and I think, well, I'm
• 0:49
  Speaker 5: just going to say the works that I distinctly remember,
• 0:52
  Speaker 5: since I can't actually open the tab for your author's
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: buyer right now, but the what I did in prep
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: for this episode was read at least a little of
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: Lucifer Princeps, which is your book from twenty fifteen, as
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: well as Lucifer Praxis, which is your newest book from
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: twenty twenty five. I think it's very ionic, very interesting.
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: I also listen to your great episode from October with
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: Gordon White, and I know that you have written extensively
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: on the Babylon and Babylon workings with your partner Alkiste Alkisi.
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: I hope I said that correctly, okus, see, thank you,
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: and so I'm really excited. I know everybody is really excited.
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: I'm a little nervous, so I apologize, but you know,
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: I think this will be really generative and really interesting,
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: especially because we have been speaking as a show. Not
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: it's not my show, but I think in general and
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: all the shows offshoot from Rejects have been speaking on
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: ionic current satic work, and I think to sort of
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: uncover the Lucifer current is probably the most occulted. I
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: think Peter has spoken this about this extensively, but the
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: most occulted of all. So, uh, you got you can, Peter.

• 6:44
  Speaker 6: know you know kind of what your deal is and
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: what you would like to advertise a plug.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Sure that was a perfect intro from Jim Wiskull in Print,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: with a this is the trouble I have to deal
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: with it. So I'm a writer and the cultist. We're
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: in a publishing company called Scarlet Imprint. Otherwise I am
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: absent online apart from a sub stack the my normal
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: published writing. Yeah, and it's just a pleasure to meet
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: this white selection of crazy.
• 7:23
  Speaker 14: He's also a mountain biker, only does lots of other
• 7:27
  Speaker 14: things too.
• 7:29
  Speaker 11: He's not just.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: That was that was so cute.
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I was just thinking, I hope one day I
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: have somebody do that for me like that was that
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: was really sweet.
• 7:44
  Speaker 15: Well, there's something interesting is that your life is your
• 7:47
  Speaker 15: great work in a way, So you know, all the
• 7:50
  Speaker 15: components that go into Peter's life obviously support him as
• 7:55
  Speaker 15: a magician.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: The physical practice is a very important part of what
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I do so well. Although it's you know, kind of
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: one of those one of those fun things what people
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: do outside of magic, it's not really an outside of magion.
• 8:13
  Speaker 14: Yeah, it's still part of the flow.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: I had mentioned that recently with Sabrina when we were
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: talking about like kind of being you know into I
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: guess working out or whatever, being being trying to stay
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: and fit while you're doing this stuff. And I had
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: even wondered like some like for me working out. At
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: some point I realized, like when I'm doing my stuff.
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: I'm really not paying attention. I'm almost in a flow
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: state kind of to an extent. And I wonder if
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: that's uh, that's like an intriguing thing from magicians too,
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: to start finding things to get into, you know, it's uh,
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: I think it's a plus. I think it helps strengthen
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: that type of practice. I don't know if that's maybe
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: your thoughts as well.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't rely on between the two. Like, the
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: body is the fundamental magical tool that we have, so
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: prepare working with. That magical tool is important for everything.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: So it's very easy online for people to talk talk
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: a lot of shit about like their magical accomplishments or
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: how amazing they are a sex magical or whatever else,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: and it's like, bro, you don't even lift you know.
• 9:19
  Speaker 8: Bro, that just literally what we were literally talking about.
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think Jim Ratt magic people, I think is
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: something that's more need to get into, like for so
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: many reasons. So I love that. And Peter, you were
• 9:41
  Speaker 7: talking about mountain biking or I'll kiss you said that,
• 9:43
  Speaker 7: Peter does mountain biking, Like, does that get you into
• 9:47
  Speaker 7: a bit of that meditative flow state as well?
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, blow states kind of critical with all the things
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: I do. So yeah, I'm essentially hunting flow state with
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: and with the least interference microve as possible. So I
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: spent a lot of time living in the mountains and
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: riding bikes, and I spent a lot of time in
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: the ocean here. So yeah, it's a lot of time.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: It's a missing part of magical practice. I think even
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: basically yoga has formed out of a lot of the
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: men's magical practice. All the things which were which was
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: seen as kind of developing the superpowers in the body,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: which was the initial impact that we had from kind
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: of the return of Empire and the Indian approaches to
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: yoga coming across, and they've dropped out a lot. I
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: think people have become far too, far too in their
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: heads about things.
• 10:42
  Speaker 14: I don't know, because do you see much more people
• 10:45
  Speaker 14: talking about the body now? When we started, we found
• 10:49
  Speaker 14: that it wasn't everyone was arguing over the me news,
• 10:52
  Speaker 14: shy of Crowley or whatever. And I think a lot
• 10:55
  Speaker 14: of that shifted, partly through our work and partly through
• 10:58
  Speaker 14: other people's work, but also being pushing a more body
• 11:01
  Speaker 14: centered understanding of magic, understanding that we're working through this
• 11:06
  Speaker 14: from this point rather than it just happens to be
• 11:09
  Speaker 14: like the meat sack. This is a time I hate
• 11:13
  Speaker 14: so much because the body is so incredible. My background
• 11:20
  Speaker 14: is as a dancer before it became whatever it is
• 11:25
  Speaker 14: I do now in Scolar imprint and which is like
• 11:28
  Speaker 14: one hundred jobs. But I approached magic. I came into
• 11:33
  Speaker 14: magic from a background, non magical in a way like
• 11:37
  Speaker 14: I had, I had experience in there's some Eastern modalities
• 11:44
  Speaker 14: like chigong and so on. But at dance, Yeah, what am.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: I talking about?
• 11:51
  Speaker 14: I just wanted to say I kind of approached it
• 11:53
  Speaker 14: from a different angle and found that everybody was stuck
• 11:58
  Speaker 14: in their heads and arguing over peopeople's words. And the
• 12:01
  Speaker 14: words are really the least important thing. They're really what
• 12:04
  Speaker 14: you kind of try to drag out of the dream
• 12:06
  Speaker 14: state or the magical state, when you're in ritual, when
• 12:10
  Speaker 14: you're in a when you're possessed, or you're incorporating as
• 12:15
  Speaker 14: like the word Gordon uses for possession, you know, trying
• 12:21
  Speaker 14: to get across that barrier, bringing something out of that
• 12:24
  Speaker 14: space that you can communicate that kind of serves as
• 12:28
  Speaker 14: an anchor or even a kind of you know, something
• 12:32
  Speaker 14: you bring that can allow you access and so words
• 12:36
  Speaker 14: of that. If they're successful, they're not about showing off
• 12:40
  Speaker 14: how clever you are or how accomplished you are. That's
• 12:43
  Speaker 14: really like that's between you and your soul. Really, that
• 12:46
  Speaker 14: has like a fock call to do with what we're
• 12:49
  Speaker 14: talking about, the least interesting thing of magic.
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: Something I want to stop full stop. I hate, I
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: hate to keep going back.
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: I guess this whole flow state thing, it's just just
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: doesn't intrigue me. But you know, I was even it
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: was even like kind of looking at it, like I
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: was saying it to Sabrina two one. I was on
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: the show a few days ago that, like even with
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: David Lynch and his transcendental meditation, the way he explains
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: it and how he says what he would get out
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: of it, I do wonder, like, you know, like is
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: it that flow state that like you end up like
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: getting those ideas you know, like when.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: You're can you hope losing a problem when they can't
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: hear me? Is there does that ever happen to you?
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: Like when you're out out doing your stuff, riding your bike,
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: doing your things, well, like ideas pop into your head
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: that you go with.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: I don't think they can hear me.
• 13:39
  Speaker 10: Yeah, they can't hear you.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: You might have to leave and come back. This is
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: so weird. This happened the last guest we had.
• 13:47
  Speaker 10: Can you hear the rest of us? There, Peter? Can
• 13:50
  Speaker 10: you hear any of us? Can you? Can you guys
• 13:54
  Speaker 10: hear us?
• 13:56
  Speaker 9: Doesn't sound like.
• 13:59
  Speaker 10: Yeah, you might have to drop out and come back.
• 14:04
  Speaker 9: I can't hear you.
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna throw it up on the screen to make.
• 14:12
  Speaker 10: It a well.
• 14:13
  Speaker 16: I'm reminded of an expression that I know from Taishi,
• 14:18
  Speaker 16: but I'm sure it's available more broadly, and certainly it's
• 14:21
  Speaker 16: applicable more broadly. The idea that the way you do
• 14:27
  Speaker 16: one thing is how you do everything. Yeah, like putting
• 14:32
  Speaker 16: magic into what seems like even mundane weightlifting, or putting
• 14:39
  Speaker 16: you know, a quality mindset into the things you do,
• 14:42
  Speaker 16: or enabling the flow state into washing dishes.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, nice, Yeah, Ethan, I complete agree.
• 14:50
  Speaker 10: Kung fu right, kung fu?
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Gung fu The term actually means times all right, and
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: so it's like you don't just have gung fu in
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: your like wushu or Marshall practice, you have gung fu
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: in everything you do, like washing dishes. Figuring out how
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: to do gardening. You know, anything you do at all
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: times through mastery is yeah, kung fu, I completely, Yeah,
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: that's exactly, and that's magic. And that's the difference between
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: like for some reason, the West seem to like separate
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: things or the East integrates their embodied practice with their
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: magical practice.
• 15:22
  Speaker 10: Yeah, you know much more.
• 15:24
  Speaker 9: We select to distinguish and separate things in the West
• 15:28
  Speaker 9: a lot more.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think of the flow state is exactly
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: what you're getting into when you're doing your ceremonial magic.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: I find that with I studied I've studied Chinese martial
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: arts for like twenty years now, and it's one of
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: those things where I think there is no difference between
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: my my kung fu practice and my magical practice. Obviously
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: there's differences in.
• 15:48
  Speaker 10: The way you go about it.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: But as I perform, like say hung Aar, your southern
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: style of shoo in stuff, it's like you have an opening.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: You're saluting the each each corners, you know, east, south, northwest,
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: and you're doing a certain breathing practice. Your organs are
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: becoming alive as then you are taking on the profile
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: and the orientation of certain animals as you go through
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: these things. So it's a yeah, I'm continually trying to
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: teach my student because it's like my students, because I
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: teach during the day. I do private lessons with all
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: sorts of martial arts, but the kung fu is the
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: embedded are.
• 16:27
  Speaker 10: I do teach on gar Yeah. Yeah.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: And it's interesting is that my students, even though they
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: don't know it, they're they're becoming warrior magicians, even though
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: they're thinking they're just learning, you know, they're just learning
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: martial arts.
• 16:39
  Speaker 10: It's like, well, no, not really.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: I'm integrating the middle path and these different paths like
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: into your body. You can actually help it because it's
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: like it becomes everything you do. And then back to
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: the taichi thing, It's like taichi is philosophy and action.
• 16:52
  Speaker 10: It is everything.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: All the tai chi practice is embodied within the philosophy itself.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Mostly.
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I guess now that you guys can hear me.
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: I had wanted to ask before before you lost a connection.
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: You know, I know we were talking about the flow
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: state and stuff.
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: I mentioned David Lynch earlier, and you know, I dig
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: into his stuff and he would talk about transcendental meditation
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: and he would talk about how he would go to
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: that state and you would get ideas almost, so you
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: know that's where you know there's I guess tapping into something.
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: Would you say that maybe like sometimes like that would
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: be the same thing, like when you're doing like your
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: physical stuff, like when you're riding your bike, could you
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: find yourself kind of like in that state and then
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: all of a sudden the idea pops into your head
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: and you end up going with it when you get
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: home or anything like that.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Generally a sense rather than something poking in I think.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: I think that what Lynch is doing is crazy. Really
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: one of the most important things, which is crazing your
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: feedback late between the unconscious and the conscious mind, if
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: you want to use those terms. So he's finding something
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: in dream and then he's bringing it out of the
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: dream and he's developing it, and then he's going back
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: and is continuing to build. And you see that with
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: the work of successful magicians. So if you look at
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: someone like Andrew Chulmley, I'm not a huge fan of
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: his work, but what he did very effectively was he
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: was able to create a set of feedback lips with
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: his unconscious and build an entire entire world out of
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: it in the way in the way that Lynch.
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: I've got a question actually around the flow state, Peter.
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: I love your writing so beautiful and lyrical. I was
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: just curious what your writing process is like and how
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: the flow state factors factors into that for you.
• 18:37
  Speaker 8: If it does.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Sure writing his Hell, it's it's a it's a completely
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: impossible task. It has no financial reward.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: Everybody says that, everybody.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: It's it's it's obsessive, compulsive, maddening. The way my process
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: works is I'll often get an image or or a
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: line will come through to me, and then I'll develop
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: from that. So very often I'll I'll you know, I
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: work I work with, So I'll work with you know,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: a mask, and I'll constantly beat, jotting notes and pieces
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: in that, and I'll have sentences and fragments and then
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: I'll bring them all together and things will emerge from that.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: But my process, yeah, my process is I pursue those
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: things which are interesting to me, and I returned to
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: I begin with inspiration, and I return to two cortex.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: I returned to the original sources of everything I possibly can.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: I spend a lot of time, a lot of time
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: on work, like a preposterous amount of time. And I'm
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not the only writer that has this problem.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: So been writing them and writing a piece of substanct
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: for about a month and a half now, which has
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: probably cost me several one hundred pounds in terms of
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: like the folks that have had to order down, how's
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: a pointless research.
• 20:15
  Speaker 10: Read there for substat.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for substant I've read all of the biographies of
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Malcolm Lowry, I've read all of his novels, and about
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: this much will actually appear in the text. Because what
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: you find with writing is that the writers that are interesting,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: each word is holographic, and so the weight and the
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: information that's behind the word, if you've done the work,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: is still available there as a termer for the reader
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: to access. So so it's a constant it's a constant
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: folding in. Sometimes my process is very easy, and I
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: can write very fluidly and produce material pretty quickly. But
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: generally for me, a good writing session I have I
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: have four hours of writing in me before I'm done,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Like that's that's the maximum that I can do in
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: the single session general. And then and then I can't
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: I generally can't get more than that out during the day.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: But yeah, writing it's a it's an obsessive it's an
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: obsessive madness with the reward. The reward is the work.
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: Well, it's beautiful to read despite the hardship that goes
• 21:31
  Speaker 7: into it.
• 21:34
  Speaker 10: Yeah, that's okay.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: Just a quick thing is that Alan Morey actually says
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: that exact same thing about ideas and how to write,
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: is that he starts with an idea and then from
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: that idea it gets a sentence down, and then all
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: of a sudden it starts to expand itself forward and
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: then yeah.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, and if it doesn't, then it's not
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: a thing. I mean, you never know when you start off.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: It could be a sentence, it could be a paragraph,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: it could be a chapter, it could be a book,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: it could be anything. So you know, you just have
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: to you just have to keep writing things down.
• 22:04
  Speaker 12: I mean.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: The other critical thing is that, like when you have
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: an idea, you have to write it down otherwise.
• 22:08
  Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: I pick up my phone and all of a sudden,
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: I just yell into it and I'm like, please don't
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: forget this is you need to remember for me?
• 22:16
  Speaker 10: Okay, put it down.
• 22:18
  Speaker 17: Yeah, one of the interesting things I've I've found with
• 22:22
  Speaker 17: the occult genre is that a lot of a lot
• 22:26
  Speaker 17: of books in the same sort of field are all
• 22:28
  Speaker 17: referencing back to the same materials.
• 22:30
  Speaker 12: But then there's that one author who's just referencing stuff
• 22:34
  Speaker 12: that is completely off of the wall, and you have
• 22:37
  Speaker 12: to look up his references just to figure out where
• 22:39
  Speaker 12: his head is at when he's talking about these other things.
• 22:42
  Speaker 12: We've been noticing that a lot with Crowley in seven
• 22:45
  Speaker 12: seven seven, he's, you know, he's he's citing all this
• 22:47
  Speaker 12: stuff and then all of a sudden, out of nowhere,
• 22:49
  Speaker 12: he's got the citation that's, you know, just completely left field.
• 22:52
  Speaker 12: Have you ever found any really interesting gems from these
• 22:56
  Speaker 12: occult authors that you never would have found without their
• 22:59
  Speaker 12: sort of special way of looking at the world.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Well, first of all I really love about Chroole is
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: that he has a renaissance man approach, so he assumes
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: that the magician will be a fully rounded individual with
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: an understanding of science literature, like at the cutting edge
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: of the day. That the problem is when people get
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: trapped in the idea that they simply have to read
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: the text that Chlole read because very often you find
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: that they're completely out of date, they're full of erroneous information,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: and they just trap you in a back abby because
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: they haven't moved on. So it's I like to try
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: and encourage people to read more widely outside of the occult.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: It's very common for me to find people who who
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: have a phenomenal occult library, but they read nothing else
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: outside of that. That that results in very very stunted
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: human beings. The aime of magic isn't stunted human beings.
• 23:59
  Speaker 10: Yeah, that's that's beautiful.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I have to say that's beautiful because even in Kraley,
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: it's interesting how many people say they've read Croley and
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: then don't realize in the beginning, Croley always gives you
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: read all these books before you even start the path,
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: write about anatomy, about philosophy, about the classics, and then
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: it's like people just throw that part away and then
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: go instantly into the to the meditation Prona Yama, and
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: then like they try to perform ceremony. And as Croley
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: states it, it's like you need to first understand that
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: any of your visions or anything that you have in
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: these states are actually hogwash and you need to think
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: objectively about these things, write them down, understand that there
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: they are part of your journey. But you you know,
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: that's how we get obsession, That's how all of a
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: sudden we go crazy and you get the wanderers lost
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: in the desert.
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: That is something from my own experience. I'm not knocking
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: like I guess the whole order, just my experience. When
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: I was in the Oto, I thought it was kind
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: of weird how everybody just basically just like read Crowley's
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: work and that was it. I was like, you don't
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: read anybody else's stuff.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: I was just like you got to hear somebody else's
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: opinion or other things or I don't know. And one
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: thing that I thought was really and myself included, I
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: was part of this too, until, like you know, until
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: I just started having weird magical experiences, I really didn't
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: look at like a lot of the broader things like
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: the physiology and other stuff that I do think is
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: my opinion, I keep saying it.
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: I'll have maybe you guys will be a little bit
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: different on this.
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: Almost anybody I've asked that's been on the show, I say,
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: I do think Aleseter Crowley was writing about the eyeballs
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: and the brains in certain ways, or he was pointing
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: to it. A lot of people don't agree with me
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: on that, but I do think physiology is possibly in
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: his work. A lot of the Gnostic Saints are other
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: people that he even was influenced by. If you read
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: their stuff, they're drawing eyeballs and brains. You know, Robert
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: Flood even Johanna's coupler and he's drawing eyeballs.
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: I mean, you have.
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: I do think when you start looking at people on
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: the Renaissance, they incorporated so many different things just besides
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: what we're just saying here now, and I feel like
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: that has been lost, like hugely.
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: I don't know what happened.
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: Was there like a schism, We're all of sudden just
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: the occult of magic was just real easy, and.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: They forgot about everything else.
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: I don't know, but I do think, like what you
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: said that was a real good point that all that
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: stuff is I kind of left out.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Yep, because of our education. Sorry, so education has collapsed,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: so people are starting from a much lower base. When
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: you look at Chroley, he was like an Oxbridge graduate.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: It was you know, he was genius level. But the
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: problem with Crowley is as a result of him being
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: at a genius level and producing this materialist it's it's
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: very likely that if you're in a structure like Oto
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: and you will simply attempt to reproduce what it meant
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: to be Chrow and you end up with a lot
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: of people who are lesser versions of that obviously are
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: not you know, I'm not throwing shade at the entire
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: It's one of one of the gaps that people fall
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: into is they end up trying to replicate the master
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: and we're no longer there, Like, we're in a completely
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: different world, and we have such a breadth of information
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: which is available to us and the ability to to
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: to read an access book. So let's let's even just
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: look at magic. So when I started studying magic, the
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Internet wasn't really a thing, Like, it wasn't functioning. So
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: that the way that you've got books on magic was
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: you went into suspicious second hand bookshops and you asked
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: to look at the books that were hidden behind the
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: shelf and see if they'd hand them to you, and
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: you bought stuff widely around them because you were unable
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: to get hold of the specific text you were looking for.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: So you ended up with quite an eclectic reading. You know,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: you couldn't go, I'm just going to read Crowley, you go,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: they have an expense paperback in there's nothing else. Well,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: I'll read some Muspensky. They have some Gurje, I'll read
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: some Gerjeff. You know, you know I have to read
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: some Funfortune. I mean, yeah, so you ended up you
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: ended up getting this this kind of this are broad
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: discover the kind of like introduction to it. And also
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: because you didn't have such access to the material, it
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: meant that you would work with an individual book for longer.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: And you know, perhaps the best exponent for that would
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: be would be Jake Strand and Kent and the way
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: that he spent you know, decade decades just working with
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: various bats of the true grimoire. There's bits of Grimory
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: and Viren, and because of the limitations that have been
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: imposed upon him, he was able to gain a lot
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: more from the text than someone who was simply going
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: this week kind of a veteran, a Buddhist this week
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: kind of practitioner.
• 29:05
  Speaker 14: All the grim was and obsessively, I mean, there is
• 29:08
  Speaker 14: use in that it's just when you're working, it really
• 29:12
  Speaker 14: helps to be so focused on the thing you're doing,
• 29:16
  Speaker 14: not like just collect.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so you're saying, is magic's not just Pokemon cards.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: You're not just gotta gotta catch them all.
• 29:23
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I find that story Brenning. Sorry, Peter.
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: I just I found that point very profound because I've
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: heard you, Peter speak on like the creation of books
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: as sort of like an art practice, and you know,
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: it's a physicality. It's physical media. It's in the rawhou
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: in the dragon, it's not in the kettoo, in the
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: digital or in the subtle, And so I think it's
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: profound in the sense that in my experience, like I'm
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: I'm a Vagoriana Buddhist. I don't think you knew that
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: and when you said it, but as a ton Trick,
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: I just feel like that is the true sort of
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: axis of sodna, is to like really focus on the
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: one mandola that you're doing and not be tempted by
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: all the other empowerments practices. But I also like to,
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: as you mentioned earlier, like keep your mind open, like
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: read left hand path text, read your text on Lucifer,
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: read the works on Babylon, because it's very similar. I'm
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: not saying it's the same, but there is there is
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: a similar current. I think that all of the magic
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: quote unquote, the whole canon touches on at least a
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: little bit. So I had actually an interesting I hope
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: it's interesting, a follow up to something we discussed earlier,
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: which was the mountain So in the Lucifer practice book,
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: you refer to sort of the Northwest Semitic, but you
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: also refer to other kinds of regional ideas in the
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: North in that sort of area of the mountain gods
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: or of the mountain god maybe I don't know, you
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: can or the mountain angel.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's a better way to say it.
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: So I just I want I wanted to know, like,
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: how do you sort of identify Lucifer living in the UK.
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: If you do, do you see him as sort of
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: a mountain god or apotheosis of like mountain This is
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: a very interesting idea.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: In contra It's like the is the sort of worldly.
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: Bi ravar or the worldly king can then raise himself
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: up to become the pinnacle of the mountain of the Mandola.
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: So I wonder if you see Lucifer in a similar
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: way like a sort of impulse, as Gordon said, but
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: I would call it a current myself, but a sort
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: of like a rising force two that can like appear
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: on the carnal ground. I know that's not your language,
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: but and then arise to the sort of higher than heaven.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Maybe you could.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Say sure, And I gave I gave a lecture this
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: year culture which Culture Sue, which will answer this question
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: more broadly talking about Highwai orientate my work in the land.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: One thing I did when I wrote Practice was although
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: it's a personal book, I didn't want to I didn't
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: want to overdetermine for people and bring into much of
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: my own personal experience. I wanted to keep it open.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: So locating Lucifer in England is quite easy for me,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: firstly because this Practice shows the real explosion and the
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: modern form of Lisa that we have emerged, firstly in
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: sixteen sixty seven of the publication of Paradise Lost, and
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: then with the actions of the French Revolution in seventeen
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: eighty nine, and the modern form of Lucifer coming forth
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: from these influences, which then informed the English line of
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: prophecy in the Romantic poets. So the Romantic poets continued
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: the process that you find in the Bible, but they
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: were writing from the other side of it. So Shelley
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: in particular, but also Byron Blake, all of them had
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: had their inputs in it, and they were they were
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: dealing with in England that they were seeing as the
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: new seat of prophecy. So they were they were transposing
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: the Biblical landscape onto the English landscape. You see that
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: with and and did those feet Blake's poem Jerusalem where
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: he asks and did those feed nation time on England's
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: mountains green. So he's he's taking the Biblical jurissm and
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: he's translocating it into England, and he's turning England into
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: the place where the new revelation will appear. And so
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: the question I asked after that in my oculture talk
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: as well, if Jerusalem can be transposed to England, then
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: so too can the shadow of Jerusalem. So the other
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: side of it, the Luciferian side of it, can also
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: be found in the English landscape. And the fallen angels,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: and the fallen angels when you see them in the
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: in the Biblical in the Biblical lands were very much
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: associated with the with the Bronze agents Stone Age monuments,
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: so the Dolmen in particular, the houses of the spirits,
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: the houses of the ancient and mighty dead. So where
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: I live in Cornwall is a giant bronze and stone
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Age graveyard. I mean it's it's the number of tombs
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: and structures and suffness we have here standing stone circles
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: is off the charts. So we live in a we
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: live in a place which has been associated with the
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: fallen angels. There's the people try to tell new stories
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: about a land whose stories have been forgotten. So the
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: very earliest, the very earliest people who lived here that
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: in the in the in the Stone Age, we don't
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: know their stories, but we have there, we have their homes,
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: we have them and we have them for mountaintops. So
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: there's there's a whole very sacred part of Cornwall called
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: Belarium that I've written about before, which is mainly made
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: up of granite. And because it's made up grante, which
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: is a very hard walk, it means that a lot
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: of these monuments have survived. So it's possible for me
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: to work in the landscape on mountains with the with
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: the homes and the beings of the mighty dead in
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: the currents of the earth. So my lucifer work is
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: transploted into the landscape line.
• 35:34
  Speaker 10: Mm hmm. That's fascinating. I have a question, so does
• 35:37
  Speaker 10: that do you have the idea?
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: So the idea of Lucifer, you know, and especially in Milton,
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: being the fallen one, but also being synonymous with the snake,
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: and as.
• 35:46
  Speaker 10: That idea of begiving.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: Eve the apple and that self awakening, so it doesn't
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: have to be the idea of giving Eve the apple
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: and that means she, you know, passed in along and
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: the whole exoteric variation of the Bible and that kind
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: of thing. It comes to me that Lucifer's technology kind
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: of idea that it gave us self consciousness, It gave
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: us the ability to see good and evil and become
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: gods ourselves. And so is that one of those things
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: where your understanding of that Luciferic current, especially in the
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: place they are in, gives you the ability to then
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: tap into the currents of the land so you can
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: remember this style of mythology and then put it into
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: your work and then give it to the masses. And
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: that's the idea of Prometheus grabbing the fire from the
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: gods and bringing it to the people, and that Promethean
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: Luciferian interconnection comparison.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, And the reason I kept things as open
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: as I did in practice is because America is very
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: much to child of England. So I don't know all
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: of the heritages, but many of you will have come
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: from England. You are our future, like translocated into America,
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: and you have that task trying to work out where
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: this goes. You know where it goes for you, what
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: it means, what it means in your disputed landscape, how
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: you how you reclaim and work with that, and those
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: are those are those are questions for individual magicians in
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: an individual basis. So I've already had people writing to
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: me saying, oh, so I got this practice. And the
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: first thing I did was I went to Serpent Mound
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: and read a certain mound, because that's there, that's their
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: sacred landscape that they're trying to understand, and they're trying
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: to understand these stories through because we're in a constant
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: process of these things being written and overwritten and changed
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: and rechanged. And it isn't a question of like going,
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: oh my god, everything's cultural approciate appropriation. We can't say
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: we can't do anything as moderns, we can't do anything
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: because we are we are white. Now, this is bullshit.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: The important thing is that that people take these general
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: principles and they apply them to the place that they're in,
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: and they apply them to the culture that they're and
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: then they continue to transform them.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: And it gives you.
• 38:03
  Speaker 14: A mythic access to landscapes whose people have gone and
• 38:07
  Speaker 14: that we have. Like in England, the Romans already killed
• 38:10
  Speaker 14: all the Druids. We have no continuity with our own
• 38:14
  Speaker 14: pagan traditions. So because the Bible then later overwrote everything,
• 38:20
  Speaker 14: and so the stones here, though there's the sacred landscape here,
• 38:24
  Speaker 14: are associated with the devil or fairies or giants, and
• 38:29
  Speaker 14: there's this parallel then between that and the fallen angels
• 38:32
  Speaker 14: and the world in the Bible, the giants and the
• 38:34
  Speaker 14: nef lem and so on. So you're able to transpose
• 38:38
  Speaker 14: that and use that mythically to access what's hidden in
• 38:41
  Speaker 14: the landscape here, and to also like not to deny
• 38:46
  Speaker 14: the Christian heritage we have, because it's a very important
• 38:48
  Speaker 14: part of the West and Cold as well, but to
• 38:53
  Speaker 14: go beyond that, to go further, to take it further,
• 38:55
  Speaker 14: because I think that that the Anglican Church is meaningless now,
• 39:01
  Speaker 14: it doesn't have any values at all. So and especially
• 39:06
  Speaker 14: like I don't think I don't think Christianity is bad.
• 39:08
  Speaker 14: My background is Catholic, my parents and family or Catholic.
• 39:12
  Speaker 14: But to go beyond that, I don't think we are
• 39:17
  Speaker 14: in opposition to this. I think that it's just that
• 39:21
  Speaker 14: Lucifer is something being born. It's a new revelation, it's
• 39:25
  Speaker 14: something coming through it. It's not the devil from the Bible,
• 39:27
  Speaker 14: and practice talks a little about this. It's more as
• 39:31
  Speaker 14: though what comes out it's not just the bad, but
• 39:37
  Speaker 14: like everything that was suppressed all of all of the history,
• 39:41
  Speaker 14: and so we can find a way into that and
• 39:43
  Speaker 14: find a We are navigating a different world. I mean,
• 39:46
  Speaker 14: it's a very different world from the Christian world. It's
• 39:48
  Speaker 14: a very different world from Crowley's world even a hundred
• 39:51
  Speaker 14: years ago. So we're looking towards the future. We're not
• 39:57
  Speaker 14: like thinking about like twenty years ago, ten years. Things
• 40:01
  Speaker 14: are going to change so much in the coming decades,
• 40:05
  Speaker 14: very quickly because of Ai and all the other changes
• 40:07
  Speaker 14: happening in the world. So it's really that Lucifer offers
• 40:11
  Speaker 14: a way to think consciously about how we use technology,
• 40:16
  Speaker 14: for instance, how we ethically approach what we do. Lucifer
• 40:20
  Speaker 14: is a current which like puts our consciousness into this
• 40:28
  Speaker 14: position where or if we're going to take if we
• 40:31
  Speaker 14: are going to be as magicians conscious about what we
• 40:35
  Speaker 14: do in the world and what the world is in
• 40:37
  Speaker 14: our relation to it. There is a sort of a
• 40:41
  Speaker 14: moral or an ethical thing that goes with that as well,
• 40:44
  Speaker 14: like an obligation to rethink how we are in relation
• 40:49
  Speaker 14: to everyone and everything, all the other being and spirit.
• 40:57
  Speaker 5: I'm going to follow that up just because I I apologize.
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: I think that's incredibly interesting and beautifully said, simply because
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: this is something that we talk a lot about in
• 41:10
  Speaker 5: our group show, which is called The Gray Lodge, which
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: Matt and I obviously our co.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: Host line.
• 41:16
  Speaker 5: The geoontological relationality and sort of looking at these karmic
• 41:21
  Speaker 5: connections with each other but also with the landscape on
• 41:24
  Speaker 5: which we arise. Rather than saying it's specifically racial, and
• 41:28
  Speaker 5: I think this goes very much to what Peter is saying.
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: He's saying, like, yeah, I agree, cultural appropriation is bullshit,
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: because you where you arise in your consciousness matters a
• 41:39
  Speaker 5: lot more than the bio essentiality in my opinion.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: So and I think.
• 41:43
  Speaker 5: That even where you're born, because a lot of Americans,
• 41:46
  Speaker 5: like I live in Canada, but I've lived all over
• 41:48
  Speaker 5: the US and Canada, So for me, where you're born
• 41:52
  Speaker 5: might determine something, but it's where you really come into
• 41:56
  Speaker 5: your more fullness as a magician, like where are you
• 41:59
  Speaker 5: first having stuff out experiences or magical experiences or mar
• 42:02
  Speaker 5: Comwa journey experiences or experiencing the tikinis, Like I know
• 42:06
  Speaker 5: you said that you dance, So I just thought, well,
• 42:09
  Speaker 5: that's so interesting obviously being and then also I want
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: to sort of ask about the post Christian landscape because
• 42:17
  Speaker 5: I think this is really interesting, and I think this
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: touches a lot on my own work and then our
• 42:22
  Speaker 5: group work of aon of the Daughter, because I've always
• 42:25
  Speaker 5: said it's cosynchronous. I agree with fred or a child
• 42:28
  Speaker 5: that is cosynchronous with the aon of the sun, so
• 42:31
  Speaker 5: there's no true tension between them. But it's also looking
• 42:35
  Speaker 5: at like a progressive not necessarily political, and maybe not
• 42:39
  Speaker 5: political at all, but it's looking at a progressive view
• 42:42
  Speaker 5: of American I'm using American magic, but maybe magic just
• 42:45
  Speaker 5: in Toto. So if you want to respond to that,
• 42:49
  Speaker 5: like how do you see the ten? I mean, I
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: think you spoke on it. But the tensions of the
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: sort of reactionary magical community that would say, oh, we
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: hate Christianity because it is we have daddy issues or
• 43:02
  Speaker 5: whatever it is.
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: Whatever it is.
• 43:03
  Speaker 5: Like I was born Catholic, I have no problem with
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: Christianity myself. I'm not going to be Christian, but that's,
• 43:07
  Speaker 5: you know, my choice. And so I just think that
• 43:12
  Speaker 5: there is a tension, but I think it's easily resolved
• 43:15
  Speaker 5: for me in practice, in practice of kabbala. So Kabala
• 43:19
  Speaker 5: for me has sort of reunified my whole orientation, maybe
• 43:23
  Speaker 5: my whole view to magic in saying that, yeah, okay,
• 43:27
  Speaker 5: maybe if you want to call it Hasham, you want
• 43:29
  Speaker 5: to call it God, you want to call it Jesus,
• 43:30
  Speaker 5: like all these different ways to map it on the tree.
• 43:33
  Speaker 5: That's fine. It's all reconcilable if you understand. If you're
• 43:36
  Speaker 5: you know, high a q enough And so I just
• 43:39
  Speaker 5: find like what you're saying very important and very aonic
• 43:41
  Speaker 5: and very beautiful. So I don't know if there's a
• 43:43
  Speaker 5: question in there, but if You're welcome to respond or
• 43:46
  Speaker 5: not in any way that you want.
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: Sure. I think one of the problems is the or
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: the like broadly left hand path apprightes have been have
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: been all positional, and my my feeling with these is
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: that that if so if you're Christian, then you're you're
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: coming out of Christianity, then you can perform a single
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: black mass. But if you spend your time repeating that
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: transcrission over and over again, you're just trapping yourself in
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: another silly game. And I think that's what's happened very
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: much in America because of the influence of sort of
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: lavein Satanism. It's been it's been a very it's been
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: a very reactionary, fucking you mum and dad, like you know,
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: sticking your fingers up at the establishment kind of like approach,
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: and ultimately it's childish. It doesn't get you very far.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: Like as an initial reaction, I'm not going to throw it,
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm not. I'm not going to throw it away.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: And I think people can gain something from that that
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: that initial tension. But there's there's a more sure had
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: our way to approach this, and I've been really gratified
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: to find. I've got I've got quite a few Christian
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: readers of my list for material and quite a few
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: recover in Christian readers of my list for material, because
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: it shows them a Bible that they haven't necessarily read
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: when they were in their in their small, in their
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: small world churches, like they hadn't really understood the world
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: and the text was being described. Now we're in a
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: kind of weird position because in England, in England, we
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: don't have Christianity anymore like we are we are, We're
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: in a stage where the church is completely collapsed, like
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: it's people do not go to church here, and I'm
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: not sure whether Americans can understand us, like it's such
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: a minority pursuit. There's a there's a new rise in Christianity,
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: like there's a there's a street Christianity which is coming
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: up now at the moment, but whether I doubt that
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: will get beyond a very small phase here people people
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: have just gone past that, whereas in America things are
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: quite different. So I'm seeing a lot of chatter on
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: pagan and occult forums when when you know when not
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: for forums, but like substack notes and things with people
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: talking about the rise for Christian nationalism and the threats
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: that Christianity posts in America. And I don't really know
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: how to interpret that because I'm not on the ground.
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: It's very difficult for me to understand understand what the
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: reality of that looks like to people. And I know
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: that that's going to be very different from if you're
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: if you're living on the West Coast or if you're
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: living in the Bible Belt. I mean, these are going
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: to be very very different places in terms of how
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: you how you interact with your with your fellow fellow
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: Americans who hoping to Christians. But I think that the
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: stronger position that I'm trying to advance in practice is
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: is we're we're post Christian and not anti Christian. And
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: I think if we can, if we can get that
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: message across the people, they can move through Christianity to
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: a more constructive position, then we can probably find common
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: ground with a lot of these people and not simply
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: try to reassure ourselves of our own our own identities
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: by defining ourselves in or position to you know, allowing
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: us or allowing us to be defined, or allowing us
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: or trapping us in that kind of silliness where where
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: we end up like the Satanic temple, you know, thinking
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: it's hilarious to call abortion human sacrifice, and then and
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: then wonder why it blows up for people who are
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: running magic shops in quiet parts of America.
• 47:42
  Speaker 14: I think it's so important. Sorry to interrupt in no
• 47:45
  Speaker 14: GM wanted to say something, but no, it just went sorry,
• 47:51
  Speaker 14: going on, It's going to add something, yeah.
• 47:56
  Speaker 5: Oh please please, I mean everything. It's like amazingly general conversation.
• 48:01
  Speaker 5: Just one of our co hosts from the Gray Lodge.
• 48:03
  Speaker 5: He was supposed to be on. He had a family
• 48:06
  Speaker 5: thing come up, so I just he has a really
• 48:08
  Speaker 5: great question, and I think Peter kind of touched on it,
• 48:11
  Speaker 5: but we'll, like, let's see, I'll read his question and
• 48:13
  Speaker 5: then either of you can address it. You address the
• 48:17
  Speaker 5: need to liberate your practice from the eschatological confines of
• 48:20
  Speaker 5: Christian myth, but nonetheless include references to the day of
• 48:23
  Speaker 5: judgment in your curses. For example, this points to a
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: lingering tension at this point in your life. Do you
• 48:28
  Speaker 5: view this as a stumbling block or as a generative
• 48:31
  Speaker 5: source of creativity and play.
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: So we've been handed an apocalyptic script by Christianity, that
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: tends to cascade through things, and I think it's very
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: dangerous and one of the reasons that I spend a
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: lot of time looking at like Revelation, for example, as
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: a text beginning in the Red Goddess, but as a
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: mature going through my entire corpus is because I think
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: that we can take that apart. I think we can
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: prevent using it in a negative way to track us
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: in a way that at least outcomes which ends up
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: faith happens, which end up end with the destruction of humanity,
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: with born again Christians having control of the nuclear bomb,
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: having control of with the Collins Elite, if that's a
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: group of UFO disclosure and the way that we interact
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: with with UAP. I think there are smart ways that
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: we can undo it. But we're all living in our
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: personal apocalypses as well. I mean, we're all we're all
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: purtling towards death. So so that that's something that you know,
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: this is something that we have to confront as well
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: as a chartist say that I think I think that
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: the apocalypse can be used to think through that. The
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: death meditation, I think is one of one of the
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: critical parts of that of that practice.
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: In a lot of ways. I see what you're saying.
• 50:02
  Speaker 12: It's like the fear of death has led these you know,
• 50:05
  Speaker 12: these three forces against each other and opposition. You've got Islam, Christianity,
• 50:10
  Speaker 12: and Judaism, and it's all sort of predicated on the
• 50:14
  Speaker 12: individual's fear of what's to come after. And really, if
• 50:19
  Speaker 12: consciousness can go into the body, then consciousness can.
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: Go out of the body. So what are we talking
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: about here?
• 50:25
  Speaker 8: You know?
• 50:26
  Speaker 12: Right, So are we basing all of these political conflicts
• 50:30
  Speaker 12: off of these stories or have we been co opted
• 50:32
  Speaker 12: by these stories about maybe imposing a little fear of
• 50:36
  Speaker 12: death into people and created much more death and destruction.
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: Well, they say that the fear of death is actually important,
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: is that if we can fear, we have to have
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: a little fear of the unknown so we can understand
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: how to then walk into it without the fear, because
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: we can't be a hero without first understanding the fear
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: that we have of that darkness.
• 51:01
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 51:01
  Speaker 10: It's the idea of the busheeto.
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: Code, where you wake up every morning and say today
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: is the day to die, and you walk into the
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: world knowing that I will die today. And even if
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: that's a symbolic understanding of what death means to us,
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: or if it's that I'm going to protect my master,
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: or my wife or my family from these unknown aspects
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: of things, I need to have a little fear.
• 51:23
  Speaker 10: It's like every time I.
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: Go on stage, not that I go on stage that
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: much anymore, or do we do a live stream or
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: you're going out there and giving a talk or whatever
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: it is, you have that little inkling of fear, and
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: it's like that leads to courage, and then that courage
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: leads us to becoming superhuman in our own way.
• 51:40
  Speaker 10: That's how That's how I like to.
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: But I do agree that that they want us to
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: be they the days want us to be, and not
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: those kind of days, but the day wants.
• 51:49
  Speaker 10: Us to be afraid of death.
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: And if it's easier to create than the Brian Johnson's
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: of the World, right, that character who's trying to defy death,
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: which is on sensical, and then he wants to live
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: stream his fucking stupid psychedelic journeys when technically all he
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: needs to do is shut the lights off, take a candle,
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: they take a heroic dose and throw on lateralis and
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: then all of a sudden you have this internal feeling
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: of what the true expansiveness of going into the mystery
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: school and coming out alive is, and then we can
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: truly be alive.
• 52:23
  Speaker 10: That's my soapbox.
• 52:24
  Speaker 11: That's one thing that we were talking about even before
• 52:29
  Speaker 11: starting the recording here was that in Brazil there is
• 52:33
  Speaker 11: a lot of openness to a lot of these topics
• 52:36
  Speaker 11: that we were talking about, like the esoter sayism or
• 52:39
  Speaker 11: even what you guys were saying about the post Christian
• 52:42
  Speaker 11: because what happened here is you have all the Catholics
• 52:45
  Speaker 11: from Portugal and you know, the all the europearent places,
• 52:48
  Speaker 11: but especially Portugal. They had the Africans coming with all
• 52:51
  Speaker 11: their heritage and the natives here and we kind of
• 52:54
  Speaker 11: just mixed up everything and we had to make sense
• 52:57
  Speaker 11: of it. So in the end we have people that
• 53:00
  Speaker 11: would you know, get all the let's say, the African
• 53:03
  Speaker 11: and the native practices, kind of meshed them, syncretize them,
• 53:06
  Speaker 11: but then add like Jesus in the middle as well,
• 53:09
  Speaker 11: you know, somehow there's some saints and Jesus there as well,
• 53:12
  Speaker 11: or the guys like something that actually started back in
• 53:14
  Speaker 11: France with Kardak so like his pirtism that they didn't
• 53:18
  Speaker 11: got extremely popular there, like in Europe in general, but
• 53:21
  Speaker 11: in Brazil it kind of like exploded and then a
• 53:24
  Speaker 11: lot of other things out of it afterwards as well,
• 53:26
  Speaker 11: because again he kind of got Christianity, he understood it,
• 53:29
  Speaker 11: he went to the East to learn more, and then
• 53:32
  Speaker 11: it's like, oh wait a second, yeah, people reincarnade and stuff.
• 53:35
  Speaker 11: Yeah cool, Okay, there's not like just this thing where
• 53:37
  Speaker 11: you wait forever until their return and one. So he
• 53:41
  Speaker 11: kind of like updated the knowledge and then people, wow, okay, cool,
• 53:44
  Speaker 11: this is more like it. But he still uses the
• 53:46
  Speaker 11: Bible and whatever whatever, So it's kind of like what
• 53:48
  Speaker 11: you're talking about, this kind of posts uh Christianity. And
• 53:51
  Speaker 11: another thing that was in my mind was again this
• 53:55
  Speaker 11: idea of okay, there's going to be an apocalypse, everything's
• 53:58
  Speaker 11: going to end, and so one and well, by incidence, right,
• 54:00
  Speaker 11: you have twenty two chapters and twenty two major account
• 54:05
  Speaker 11: and a lot of the chapters are basically the twenty
• 54:08
  Speaker 11: two are kind of being like displayed.
• 54:09
  Speaker 10: But that's for another thing.
• 54:11
  Speaker 11: And what you have there is, Okay, everything is gonna end,
• 54:14
  Speaker 11: and sure it is that era because the cycles continue.
• 54:18
  Speaker 11: That era that they're talking about is gonna end eventually,
• 54:21
  Speaker 11: and then a new one comes up that's like the
• 54:23
  Speaker 11: anti Christ, that the one that's gonna end the previous
• 54:26
  Speaker 11: Desiah or whatever, and then everyone comes up and it
• 54:29
  Speaker 11: goes again and again and again and again. But if
• 54:31
  Speaker 11: you don't see it like that, like you guys are saying,
• 54:33
  Speaker 11: it becomes just this fearful experience where.
• 54:37
  Speaker 10: You cannot know, you don't know what to do.
• 54:39
  Speaker 11: And then you have people that can capitalize on that,
• 54:41
  Speaker 11: which they do a lot of times, like you have
• 54:43
  Speaker 11: guys saying, oh, tomorrow is gonna be the day's day,
• 54:45
  Speaker 11: and then everybody sells their shitping goes live with them
• 54:48
  Speaker 11: and build an arc and whatever. Like people still do
• 54:50
  Speaker 11: this to this day, like it's all the other day
• 54:52
  Speaker 11: on Twitter or whatever. So again, it's just this myth
• 54:56
  Speaker 11: that gets created. And like you guys were saying as
• 54:59
  Speaker 11: well before, like if you don't get hold of that,
• 55:01
  Speaker 11: then you're just living the myth of some people that
• 55:04
  Speaker 11: lived in the desert two thousand years ago, and you're
• 55:06
  Speaker 11: still living that. But you're like out of there, you know,
• 55:09
  Speaker 11: you are somewhere in America, somewhere in Japan, whatever, and
• 55:13
  Speaker 11: you're still living that story. Like it's it's over come
• 55:16
  Speaker 11: on create your own you know. And I guess writing
• 55:18
  Speaker 11: is the in reading books like consuming and creating, it's
• 55:23
  Speaker 11: it's the excellent skill for that because you have to
• 55:26
  Speaker 11: know how to create the story and to put it
• 55:28
  Speaker 11: out there.
• 55:28
  Speaker 10: So that's pretty nice.
• 55:31
  Speaker 12: Time.
• 55:33
  Speaker 14: Yes, Can I just say something I wanted to say?
• 55:37
  Speaker 14: Like Matt, I totally agree like that, you can't rationalize
• 55:41
  Speaker 14: the spirit world. Any people that like have Jesus and
• 55:44
  Speaker 14: Babylon both in their lives. It's not our job as
• 55:47
  Speaker 14: humans to rationalize the spirit world. It's all there, you know,
• 55:50
  Speaker 14: Jesus is real for many people. For me, I never
• 55:53
  Speaker 14: felt that connection. I was always oriented toward the feminine
• 55:57
  Speaker 14: and unfortunately, as a child married ever made her you know,
• 56:01
  Speaker 14: epiphany to me, so I ended up going the other way.
• 56:05
  Speaker 14: But yeah, you can't rationalize the spirit world. It's it's
• 56:10
  Speaker 14: all real, as I think, who was it that said
• 56:12
  Speaker 14: that recently on one UAP thing like demons angels. Everything's
• 56:16
  Speaker 14: out there and what you encounter will be largely because
• 56:19
  Speaker 14: of where your consciousness is, how your consciousness is oriented
• 56:25
  Speaker 14: in a particular moment in our incarnation. So the consciousness
• 56:30
  Speaker 14: is not limited, but our incarnation is limited. I also
• 56:34
  Speaker 14: wanted to mention something when Brandon was talking about fear
• 56:38
  Speaker 14: was very good. I totally agree about that. Fear is
• 56:41
  Speaker 14: really important. Everything Peter does turn to flow state. For me,
• 56:45
  Speaker 14: it puts me in a fear state, you know. He
• 56:48
  Speaker 14: I couldn't ride a bike until I met Peter and
• 56:50
  Speaker 14: then he like two weeks after trying to teach me
• 56:52
  Speaker 14: how to write, took me to the Alps and sent
• 56:54
  Speaker 14: me down a black and it was like it was
• 56:56
  Speaker 14: just basically, if you fall off, you'll die, So don't
• 56:59
  Speaker 14: fall off, just let wrong. That was my fear slash
• 57:03
  Speaker 14: flow state, and it's been a huge part of everything
• 57:07
  Speaker 14: I do, the same as like going in this scene.
• 57:08
  Speaker 14: For me, that's like.
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: Scary, and for Peter it's the.
• 57:13
  Speaker 14: Ocean is his sort of his world, the ocean created him.
• 57:18
  Speaker 14: For me, I have to the smallest thing just because
• 57:22
  Speaker 14: of my physiology. I can't cope with it. And there's
• 57:26
  Speaker 14: a spirit I've had a long ongoing relationship with, but
• 57:30
  Speaker 14: it's really comes to that the nature of that relationship
• 57:36
  Speaker 14: is a series of nightmares essentially, in which I have
• 57:41
  Speaker 14: to confront intensely frightening death kind of experiences and the
• 57:47
  Speaker 14: Spirit will keep giving me these and I recognize the
• 57:50
  Speaker 14: signature in it, and they're like they're particular watery signature
• 57:56
  Speaker 14: that I recognize this spirit by that. This is that
• 57:59
  Speaker 14: the whole dream experience itself is me being immersed in
• 58:03
  Speaker 14: the world that the Spirit has given me for the dream.
• 58:06
  Speaker 14: And they're always to do with confronting fear, and so
• 58:09
  Speaker 14: there has been several sort of nightmare initiations, let's say,
• 58:14
  Speaker 14: where I have to keep going through it until I'm
• 58:16
  Speaker 14: able to confront that fear, and then everything just transforms.
• 58:20
  Speaker 14: In that moment when I can steady myself and become
• 58:23
  Speaker 14: lucid in the dream and recognize what it is, then
• 58:27
  Speaker 14: everything changes. And the other thing I wanted to say,
• 58:31
  Speaker 14: getting back to what Jin and I think Nick was
• 58:36
  Speaker 14: saying about eschatology and end times and relationship of this too.
• 58:42
  Speaker 14: I'm very interested in the approach that DH Lawrence took
• 58:46
  Speaker 14: in his book Apocalypse to Revelation, which is interesting to
• 58:51
  Speaker 14: parallel with Crowley's which is kind of a similar time.
• 58:54
  Speaker 14: And he looked at it and he said that it's
• 58:56
  Speaker 14: the woman holding the cup that walks out of revelation.
• 58:59
  Speaker 14: The one interesting thing, you know, the life that goes
• 59:02
  Speaker 14: beyond that. It's the woman holding the cup Babylon. So
• 59:07
  Speaker 14: Croley's Babylon is one aspect of that divine, suppressed, demonized feminine,
• 59:13
  Speaker 14: sacred feminine, and it's our feminine the West, which is
• 59:16
  Speaker 14: where I see that parallel with the like Graderaiana tradition,
• 59:20
  Speaker 14: that that's demonic, but it's not demonic, because it's actually
• 59:24
  Speaker 14: our way through our history, our way through our karma,
• 59:30
  Speaker 14: is to confront who she is, which is what this
• 59:32
  Speaker 14: sort of work of excavation that Peter and I have
• 59:34
  Speaker 14: done with Babylon since the Red Goddess and through the
• 59:38
  Speaker 14: essays collected in the Brazen Berselon and various talks and
• 59:40
  Speaker 14: things we've given. And there's a different eschatology with Babylon
• 59:45
  Speaker 14: if you take it back to her origins in the
• 59:47
  Speaker 14: Near and Middle East and the earliest rising of this
• 59:50
  Speaker 14: figure with inanna Ishta, she returns from her underworld journey.
• 59:54
  Speaker 14: She is the first born of the dead in recorded history.
• 59:58
  Speaker 14: It's not Jesus that come back in Dubaya's death, it's
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 14: actually an ana Ishtar. And she's both a woman and
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 14: a goddess. She's the priester, she's the new gig. She's
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 14: the taboo woman or the sacred woman. And this return
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 14: from the underworld is more like the female erotic. There's
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 14: like an erotic feminine way of seeing aspatology, which is
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 14: countless cycles, as you said, cyclic time rather than linear
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 14: time that just ends and we've fall off the cliff.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 14: It's like, yeah, the body dies, but the spirit goes
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 14: on and things just keep you. We are recycled. Like
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 14: I see our matters as absolutely sacred and intertwined with spirit.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 14: There is no difference. But we're just particles. The water
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 14: that makes our body was born out of stars which
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 14: died billions of years ago. We are stars. We are
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 14: made of this stuff. This is our consciousness. Water is
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 14: one unified field that light and beauty and spirit. It
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 14: exists and travels through and speaks to us through. So
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 14: following Babylon out of revelation is one way to get
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 14: beyond that. You know that the climactic, you know, cut
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 14: off of the sort of the male sexual response that
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 14: is sort of like has been written into the and anyway,
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 14: I think male sexuality is completely misunderstood. But I think
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 14: that this idea that things just end is so linear,
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 14: and I think the feminine brings back this sense that
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 14: we just go round, the cycle goes again, our bodies
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 14: are reconfigured as other things. You know, I'm no longer
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 14: frightened of dying because it's just the body that ends.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 14: And my energy is already more than my body can bear.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 14: So I do when I come back next time, I
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 14: will be hench or whatever.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 14: I lived, but I'm still not strong enough for what
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 14: I have to do in the world. And yeah, I
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 14: totally know that things keep going. But just there were
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 14: so many interesting points you made. I just wanted to
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 14: touch each of those that you had said. Thank you.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 5: That was really beautiful. Sorry, I know I said I
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 5: was going to be quiet for a little while. Just
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 5: I have to follow up with something.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: Is that.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 5: I think it's really profound because when I spoke to
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 5: Gregory Peters with Soral, the other brother who wrote in
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 5: the question, we talked a little bit about the etymology
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 5: of the word tntra, and a lot of Western practitioners
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 5: aren't super familiar. They're more like they know ton tata
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 5: meaning like too weave beyond the stars. But if you know,
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 5: because I'm a spend Buddhist, we call it tontra tontata,
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 5: meaning that it is actually the goddess Tara, whose name
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 5: means star. So I always thought that's so interesting because
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 5: obviously anana Ishtar there is like a stellar component. We
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 5: would say that she's self combusting. Now what does that
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 5: exactly mean? Well, to figure that out for yourself. But
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 5: I just think that's really beautiful, because yeah, we are
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 5: made of stars. We are luminous and massless and infinite
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 5: in our capacities. And I think that what Contred has
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 5: taught me, maybe the most fundamentally, is yes, the wisdom
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 5: exists as a method to get there there, and it
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 5: doesn't really belong to anyone, like she doesn't belong to anyone,
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 5: especially for our conception. She's postgnostic, post conceptual. She is
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 5: not made of aggregates, she is not made of our perceptions.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 5: So I think very much it coincides exactly with what
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 5: you said, And so I just want to follow up
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 5: with an actual question. Apologize, I know kind of a neanderer.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 5: What is the relationship with Lucifer and Babylon and how
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 5: would you sort of reconcile it or codify it.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 14: We just answer that question the other day.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: It's probably the best.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 14: It's the way I configure it in my head to
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 14: try to make sense of what we've got in the
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 14: tradition is that if you look at Revelation, Babylon is
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 14: described as the mother of harlots and the abominations.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: Of the earth.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 14: The harlots are well, it's related to idolatry. Both harlow
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 14: try and the idea of abominations are like idols and idolatry,
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 14: and they're the sort of false religions and so on.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 14: But the harlots are also equivalent to the women who
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 14: mate with the angels in the anochic literature, because they're
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 14: they're exogamously, you know, having relationship with the angels and
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 14: creating abominations. The abominations they create are in their floom
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 14: and the giants, and so the spirit tradition that we
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 14: in in the West, the demonological tradition, the giants are
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 14: not the giants. The spirits are understood as the ghosts
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 14: of the dead giants and levolous. So as if you
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 14: think that our spirit tradition that Lucifer is the head
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 14: of are like the progeny of these human these mortal
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 14: women with the angelic realm.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: Of the heavenly rum.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 14: It means that there's something born both of the Earth,
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 14: but also that they're sired by the heavens. And I
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 14: see this relationship therefore with Babylon and lucifers, that they
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 14: are both. You can relate both of them to the
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 14: Morning Star, to Venus. And I've also spoken a lot
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 14: about how give a talk about how there are a
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 14: lot of astral configurations which are related and stars which
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 14: are related to Babylon. So they're not limited. It's not
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 14: like some clear identity. She is Venus and Lucifer is Venus.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 14: It's not that at all. It's that these currents, these
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 14: energies are false.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 11: Is have.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 14: Draw from these astral configurations or beings, heavenly beings what
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 14: they are, and that there's a sort of relationship they are.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 14: They are oriented towards the future. There's she's kind of
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 14: the head of it. She's like the source of everything,
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 14: She's the mother of these these things. But Lucifer himself
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 14: is also like the the underworld, the first to die,
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 14: the King and the underworld. Does this make any sense? Yea,
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 14: And the underworld and the and the skies are also
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 14: the same. You know that it's the other world because
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 14: you have this parallel between the cosonic and the heavenly,
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 14: always this relationship. But as I said earlier, I try
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 14: not to rationalize too much. It's just that when you
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 14: look at Revelation, this beautiful language like the Mother of
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 14: Lots and abominations of the Earth kind of gives you
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 14: that key to fit both Babylon and the sort of
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 14: demonological tradition in a post together, in a post Qristian
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 14: interpretation where we can actually take it forwards. And yeah,
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 14: that's kind of how I in my head.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 5: She is the mother of the Leela. That is absolutely true.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 5: It's her illusion, her world. She decides who she wants
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 5: to play, so absolutely, and so thank you so much
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 5: for the answer.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 3: Question question A question is have you guys read Promethea
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 3: by Alan Moore.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 10: A long time ago? Nice?
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 3: And the reason I bring it up is because of
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 3: its almost exactly like the volume three, the last volume
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 3: is exactly just everything we're talking about right now with
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 3: the eschatology and Babylon and even about what's going on
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 3: in culture today and where we're heading. Is that so
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 3: how Ellen Moore puts it, is that Babylon sits in
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 3: a Banah, right, And that's when if I remember right,
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 3: and I could be wrong, as Promethea, as Sophie is
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 3: climbing up the tree and being Promethea, she is witnessing
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 3: she runs into John Dee and she sees everybody on
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 3: the cubes, and then all of a sudden she has
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 3: this experience as she interacts with Promethea, the truest cent
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 3: of Promethea.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 10: And then she sees.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 3: Both Babylon and Mary as the same individual but being
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 3: expressed in two different ways. And I highly recommend everyone
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 3: here and everyone listening to go and read how Elan
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 3: Moore poetically talks about beholding Mary as she is the
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 3: virgin and then beholding Babylon as the harlot and the whore,
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 3: and how we have both of those aspects within us.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 3: And then Sophie as Promethea goes up and she you know,
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 3: witnesses the Father in Chokmah and goes into Cather and
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 3: becomes all. But the thing about what Promethea is to
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 3: do after she understands these aspects of Babylon and the
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 3: Mother is that when she comes back into the material
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 3: realm of our kingdom of Earth, she is to aminetize
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 3: the escasion, and this looks to us as if everybody
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 3: is going crazy.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 10: It's like everyone's having this epileptic event.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 3: And interesting enough, once we all go through this, and
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 3: Promethea brings everybody back into this singular room telling them
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 3: that singular story as we are all being birthed into
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 3: a new way of existing, a lot of really violent
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 3: things happen during that birth, because birth has pangs and
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 3: it hurts, and so it's such an interesting thing that
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 3: way we view this apocalypse or this aescacion is that
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 3: we both start to understand that inner Babylonian Harlot within us,
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 3: and we start to understand that inner Mary or that
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 3: virgin that we're being birthed into. And so it's just
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 3: all these things that keep coming into my mind as
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 3: you're talking about how then Lucifer and this like this
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 3: way of viewing self awareness, because for some reason for me,
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 3: I don't know why, I keep having this idea of
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 3: Lucifer being the beholder and the one who helps us
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 3: understand the valuation between good and evil and how not
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 3: only are the gods gods, but we are I think
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 3: Ike Baker said it, we are. It was it Jamie
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 3: Paul Lamb or somebody was talking about how we are
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 3: mortal gods as well as divine gods and the same breath,
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 3: and so it's the only way to be born into
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 3: that is to first die and have this experience of
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 3: climbing up the tree as we go through it. And
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 3: then a side note was when you were talking about
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 3: how Jesus is real that again, I've just been integrated,
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 3: and I did take a lot of entheogenic experiences while
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 3: like listening to Tool and reading Promethea at the same
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 3: time and meditating on those things. But there's a scene
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 3: in as Promethea is experiencing Tipareth where you get to
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 3: see all the Tiporethic sun gods and then you open
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 3: up into a splash page and it's Jesus on the cross,
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 3: and you know, and being all like the idea of like, well,
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 3: doesn't matter if he existed, it's that he is real
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 3: and more real than you or I, And this is
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 3: the suffering that we all feel on a daily basis.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 3: So this is kind of a fascinating, fascinating thing of
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 3: like how Babylon has been so and the idea of
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 3: Lucifer has been so integrated into Satanism, And I wonder
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 3: about how you guys feel about that, because I think
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 3: that there's so many LARPers out there and Satanists who
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 3: want to intermingle this idea of what Luciferianism is and
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 3: then the idea of what Lucifer is truly doing to
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 3: our world, and then all.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 10: Of a sudden you get these like you.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 3: It's hard for me not to like call Jason Georgianni
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 3: such a poofed, but it's the idea that he's like
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 3: ruining the idea of what this Promethean fire character is
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 3: supposed to truly be doing, and then telling people that
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 3: philosophers shouldn't be religious and all these other things. And
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 3: so it's such a very vast awkwards world that we
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 3: live in where you get these Satanists like a Georgianni
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 3: who doesn't truly have a practice and embodied but you
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 3: can see it in his reptilian face that's like, I
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 3: don't understand.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 10: And then you get a wave of individuals who are.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 3: Following him, and then people like you who are actually
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 3: seeming to be doing the good work, trying to spread
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 3: the good message of what it truly means to bring
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 3: upon this new technology for people to integrate their you know,
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 3: their currents into this divine wave.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 10: There's a question in there I watch want to know
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 10: what you think about all that.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm going to say it's quite a lot of
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: Georgiohny because I have been ear I know. I find
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: it interesting how much information he brings together, But I
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: don't recognize the story that he builds out the material. Yeah,
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: so I think he's a I think he's a fascinating thinker.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: But like all of these tricks to figures, you just
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: this is him very very carefully because he places information.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: He makes all information look as if it's at the
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: same level. When there's some information which is patently false,
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: and there's some information which is like you know, is
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: more real, and he just puts it all together and
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: he tells this fabulous stream of consciousness, super confident words
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: dropping like genius level discourse. That's it's fun. It's fun,
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: and I can see how it does as people, and
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: I can see how it opens doors for people. So
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: I quite like him at arm's length, but I don't
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: agree conclusions. That's kind of how I am with with
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: with Jason. But there aren't many people who've done this
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: work is the real thing. So so when when I
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: did practice, I like I sealed myself off from everything,
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: so I didn't look at I didn't look at modern Lycatherians.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: I didn't need the satanic stuff I avoided. I didn't
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: even really read the academic text. Like guy I always
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: named pair facts. Now's brilliant satanic feminism.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 14: Because it covers different material.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: Because it covers Brian, it covers different material, has a
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: slightly different handle. And I try not to talk talk
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: shit or throw shade about people who are working in
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: the field, so I can I can say positive things
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: about about some of the modern Luthafarians, but I think
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: that there the problem is that they're all still trying
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: to create c cults. They're all still trying to create systems,
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: little systems and little pyramid schemes. And here's my logo,
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: and here's my badge, and here's mine. It's a bunch
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: of my bunch of it's my sixth art book series.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: And it's like, fuck off, guys. This is like we're
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: past that, Like we're not playing those games anymore. Like
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: we create things, which is why you know, this evening
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: we're sitting here talking to to all you guys with
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: all your radically different experiences, because this is where it
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: happens now, Like it doesn't happen in a here is
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: my closed spooky satanic cult, Like that's that's not the thing.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: That's like, it's open source. There is a time for privacy,
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: and there is there is a time for secrecy, and
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: I'm you know, individuals.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 10: Of course, but.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: At the same time, there's a great opportunity for us
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: to talk honestly amongst each other as people who've had
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: remarkable experiences. I mean, Brandon, what you've been through with
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: your enthogenic experiences, and I'm sure everyone here has had
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: theogenic experiences. Now, like we've really got our hands on
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: like the rocket fuel. We have more texts than CHRONI
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: could have ever dreamt off. We have more powerful tools
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: and then could dreamt off. But it's very easy for
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: us to be divided in groups squabbling over the attention economy,
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: talking shit about one another and trying to sell products,
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: and can we get past that, please humans? You know,
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: we do not need to do that anymore.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 10: Yeah, that's a that's a great Yeah.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 5: I love that you said that, Peter, because it's very
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 5: it's very similar to something we spoke about. We were
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 5: had scheduled a I g oh, call influencer. We'll call her,
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 5: and she veiled and so we had a kind of
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 5: round table and we talked a lot about aonic thinking
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 5: and sort of the nick said, like, you know, all
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 5: these guys who are the heads of the Oto or
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 5: the Temple of Said or whatever it is, they're all
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 5: getting old. And it's not I'm not saying it as
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 5: like aspersive way. I'm just they are fading, and with
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 5: them will fade the old in a way. And so
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 5: in my idea, the a of the Daughter is that
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 5: we are leaving the institutional frame as well as perhaps
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 5: also the longhouse, which is not necessarily tied to women
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 5: as a whole, but just sort of like the sort
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 5: of scold culture that has arisen. I think Peter has
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 5: addressed this many times that has arisen in the last
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 5: like twenty years, in this way of like keeping people's consciousness.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 5: And I think that's sort of what's interesting about both
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 5: Luciferianism and contemporary Setianism is that it is about breaking
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 5: conceptual frameworks. And I think, like to respond to what
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 5: Brandon said, like for me because I relate the sephra
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 5: to the Mahavija like the ten Contra goddesses. For me,
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 5: she's not fixed in any sephra. She is all the sephra.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 5: So when you encounter them in the sephra, they might
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 5: take a different form or based on my or the
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 5: whatever mythopoetic framework that I'm using. But I never This
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 5: is the one thing where I differed from hermeticabala is
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 5: that I never saw that just it's not just been
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 5: off for me, Like there can be a widow.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 2: Goddess that rises at hope mode, for instance.
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 5: Like there are different kind of polarities that you can
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 5: understand that work in each one. It's not just you know,
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 5: there are different appearance existence forms.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: Anyways, I apologize.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 10: And I that's jinn.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 3: I completely get your point, and I agree, especially for
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 3: the idea that in every sephra, every other sephra is there.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 3: So that's the idea, the one in the ten and
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 3: the ten in the all type of ideas that it's
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 3: not just this tun dimensional thing, but within everything is
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 3: everything else. And I think what Ellen's trying to get
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 3: at when he's talking about those things is that he's
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 3: understanding that we need for a general audience, because he's
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 3: writing this book for fucking Vertigo or some shit, is
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 3: that he needs to be able to explain this modernized
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 3: grimoire to a masses of individuals.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 10: So then what you want to do is you want.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 3: To use the Tree of Life as a cabinet system
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 3: and then have it understood as a certain kind of
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 3: archetype that is in every sufferra. So as Sophia merges
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 3: with the true Promethea, that archetype, which is become that
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 3: egger Gore, which was a real person in that world.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 3: She merges with that so she can then come back
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 3: to the world to bring on revelation, and in doing
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 3: so she walks through and then witnesses these two the
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 3: Saturnian figures this, yeah, the Mary and the Harlot and
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 3: at the same time, and then that is that characters
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 3: in path of individuation, her own hero s's journey as
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 3: she is to then go and bring upon this thing,
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 3: because she has to witness every aspect as she climbs
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 3: up the tree. So I'm what I'm saying is I
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 3: completely I agree with with you, with you in that
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 3: kind of way, because my own my girlfriend. Also she's
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 3: she's a Buddhist practicing Buddhist, and so it's like her
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 3: and I argue all the time, where does the Buddhist
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 3: sit on the tree? Where are these things sit on
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 3: the tree? And it's like it's fun to do that
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 3: with a loved one or a friend, but it's like
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 3: we're all just like we're just sparring intellectually. So then
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 3: when we bring it to the masses, we have a
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 3: better way of trying to It's like how when I
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 3: teach martial arts, it's every person I am talking to
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 3: has their own bodily mental mind experience in things, and
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 3: so how I teach one person hungar or when chun
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 3: or tai chi is not, then how I'm going to
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 3: do it to the other person, even though I still
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 3: have these set systems that I'm trying to express and
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 3: pull out of each individual's bodily experience in the world.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, And just to respond quickly, Brandon, is that I
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 5: always say, like, just like David ham Smith, I know
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 5: he gets brought up like every episode that I'm on
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 5: and apologize. But you approach the tree non dually with
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 5: body cheetah framework and from the middle path and like
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 5: it will unfold like in the part as system, you know,
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 5: like the five. That's why the five as well. So
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 5: I think I agree that it's all reconcilable. But I
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 5: also agree with what was said before, like you don't
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 5: want to rationalize everything. Maybe that's just for like your
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 5: autistic cabalistic practice like me, like in private, but I
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 5: don't need to necessarily relate that to everyone, which I
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 5: think alo speaks to what Peter and Als said about,
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 5: you know, teaching people the inner outer in secret and
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 5: how Alan Moore kind of blends, which is a very
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 5: contract conceptualization of blending outer inner outer and secret teachings
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 5: and calling them maybe even different things like saying this
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 5: is a secret teaching, but it's actually an outer teaching,
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 5: but you're presenting it as a secret mystery. So I mean,
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 5: I'm very familiar with the chaos magicians. They love to
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 5: do this. It is what it is. Even Crowley does
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 5: it a little.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 3: So Alan Moore is not a chaos magician and he
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 3: hates Grant Morrison just for that.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 10: I just want to make that very known.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 5: I think that he probably borrows some ideas.
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 7: How can we not yeah, and bring back books for
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 7: a second, as I know we're supposed to kind of
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 7: wind down in just a minute, like speaking of that
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 7: difference between the secret cults doing their secret cult stuff
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 7: and then on the other end, like the total open source.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 7: I wanted to ask our lovely folks from Scarlett Imprint, like,
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 7: what was your intention behind starting the press and did
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 7: you think that it was going to go along as
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 7: long as it has and be so impactful. And one
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 7: of the things I really love about how you guys
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 7: run that is there's so many different ways to obtain
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 7: the books, whereas we see a lot of occult publishers
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 7: where they only will release like I don't know, fifty
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 7: editions bound in nice goat with the embossing and like,
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 7: don't get me wrong, I absolutely love that stuff, but
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 7: I really really appreciate that you guys also make the
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 7: digital editions like super super affordable for people in the
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 7: paperbacks as unlimited editions. And I'm just curious about like
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 7: that kind of original spark of creating that press, publishing
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 7: your own work and also publishing incredibly interesting other voices.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 7: And if you could just speak to that a bit,
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 7: I think everyone probably really loved to hear about that.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 14: You stop.
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: So we started Skoleton Grin in an occult world, which
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: in England was really Morgan like it was. It was
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: it was dying. There was nothing happening, there were there
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: were no presses. The previous generation of chaos magicians were
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: kind of like winding down essentially, so there wasn't a
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: great deal of energy in the scene in it. And
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: I wanted to I wanted with the first edition of
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: The Red Goddess, I wanted to produce a magical, talismanic
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: book would go out to the world and change everything.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: And and we we quickly.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 14: We didn't really produce one hundred and fifty six because
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 14: we could have thought, but also we really didn't think.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: That there would be any interest.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 14: So we like wrote we had a few people on
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 14: Peter's like what was it live journal contact list from
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 14: live journal days, and like wrote to them individually and said,
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 14: we're doing this. And I think there was some like
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 14: online forum you opened it on.
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 8: It was like so small.
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 14: It took ages to sell these one hundred and fifty
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 14: copies and then you just well, howling has happened because
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 14: the flat got filled with spirits. It was very strange,
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 14: and we did a divination and it had to do
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 14: with the Gosha of Solomon. So we kind of went
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 14: down that route and produced howlings out of that, out
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 14: of the sort of like, okay, what's in these.
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: There's something there? What are people doing with people? So
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: like I knew a lot of well I knew enough
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: contemporary pas editions to say, well, magic, like where are
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: the people who are doing things? What are theitioner accounts?
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: Not not not an academic approach, not a here's another
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: historical approach, but to say, what are people doing out there?
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: Let's let's share our experiences. And we're always we've always
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: been fundamentally democratic. So although we make very nice books,
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: it's important to us because you know, we were students too,
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: Like we were poor too. I mean we're not rich now,
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: but like to be able to say to people, look,
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: you can get a paperback just here's information.
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 13: Limits information that a limit it to people who have
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 13: deep pockets to say, to say, we can change the
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 13: world with a paperback book, and we can change the world.
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 14: With a fine edition bound in leather. And the thing
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 14: is a fine edition will last for hundreds of years
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 14: and maybe you know, ends up somewhere and will survive
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 14: cataclysms because someone's put it somewhere very safe. Paperback the
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 14: last few years. Digital editions will disappear as soon as
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 14: the electricity goes down. So everything, but it can have
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 14: an impact in a wider It can have a digital
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 14: edition or a paperback can have a print on demand
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 14: because they're available through Amazon, and a lot of our
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 14: books is print on demand, and so the quality is
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 14: like not great, it's not bad, which is not great,
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 14: but it does like it can get to more people
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 14: and so have like a bigger reach and that can
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 14: transform people. But also a hard back that's nicely bound
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 14: might last longer, might have a longer life, might pass
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 14: through several hands and find more people. And so it's
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 14: about that approach that you can have books that work
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 14: in different ways, that carry the material out into the
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 14: world and have that different relationship with the people that
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 14: they come into contact with. So it was really about
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 14: making and it happened because we just grew, like we
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 14: didn't think we'd carry on doing it. It just it's
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 14: just kept happening. Like I'm always surprised when people by
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 14: because we also do very personal stuff. We're not trying
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 14: to be like everything we're trying. Yeah, books are alive exactly.
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 14: We are not trying to be the best of cult
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 14: publisher or any of that. We want to do something
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 14: very personal, very individual, and like our own. You know
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 14: what really speaks to us because there are so many
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 14: publishers now doing those things for themselves, do those things.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 14: So what's interesting is too, like we're putting out The
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 14: next book we'll put out is a very interesting book
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 14: of poetry. It will probably be bought by two hundred
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 14: people in the world maximum. This is like as far
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 14: as these things go. But I find there's something extraordinary
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 14: about the writer and what his work is and what
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 14: he's done. So I really feel that it's necessary to
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 14: put out both something like Peter Mark Adams Game of Saturn,
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 14: which has had a huge impact on people, but also
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 14: the very like arcane stuff which might only get to
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 14: a few people. And it's it's just that it's got
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 14: to be personal, and it's got to have integrity, and
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 14: it's got to not be restricted in this Oh, but
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 14: you can't afford the nice edition. And yeah, and like
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 14: the academic books are like that too. I love so
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 14: many I see so many books from brill that I
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 14: wish I could afford, but it's like it's not happening.
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 14: So we are really just trying to do something which
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 14: is both completely independent. We're too small to be We're
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 14: small enough to exist in the cracks, is what I'm saying. Well,
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 14: it's like kind of witchcraft to exist in the cracks
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 14: between what's meant to exist, but you're allowed to. We
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 14: can just about survive and function and do this thing.
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 14: And then you know, maybe it takes people. It opens
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 14: up into other people's whilst in ways that we can't
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 14: control and aren't interested in controlling. You know, it's down
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 14: to everybody else's individual inspiration and genius to take things further.
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: And we just love works. Yeah, because you know, as
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: we're talking about, we're talking about a body, and so
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 1: probably I can probably roll all this back together again.
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: So the thing with the book is that it's built
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: on the size of the body. So it's built on
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: how big it is to fit in your hand, how
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: far that has to be for you to read it.
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: Like the book is, the book comes out of the body.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: And when we're talking also about about fear, and we're
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: talking about the disruption of people through the online media
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: and just the endless pressure and the bitching and the
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: attention seeking. If you read a book, then you're regaining
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 1: control of your attention span. If you have a physical
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 1: book and you like you read a you read a
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: chapter a day, then you will you will significantly REWI
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: you're brave and the damage that you're doing to it
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 1: with doom scrolling, and you start to see the world
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: in a different way. And when the lights go off,
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 1: when everything goes wrong, you've got books on your shelf.
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 1: You can sing, you can read a book. You can
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: read a book out loud to your lover, the fox
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: like week books to each other. Incredible piece. I have
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 1: never never beaten the technology.
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 14: I think it's like it's like a shock. Books are
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 14: like shocks. They have already reached the perfect form. It's
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 14: just variations on a perfect form.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 10: Now we're just doing what.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 14: We can to do that thing.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 10: Yeah. I love that. As Colan said, right, the medium
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 10: is the message.
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 16: Thank you for.
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 7: Of course. I can talk about books forever.
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 5: And I just scarlet imprint is the best. I am
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 5: friendly with a lot of inner traditions. People shout out
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 5: Toby Chappel and the whole crew, but I have to say,
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 5: for me, it's scarlet imprint. So I'm just saying that
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 5: not in hopes to get you on my Showkeater, but
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 5: you know.
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 6: The traditions like set this out on how many authorisdes Yeah,
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 6: was there anything else that you would like? You too,
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 6: would like to even add before we start to wrap
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 6: it up. Maybe you'd like to say something about it.
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 6: I guess maybe anything really, anything you want to leave
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 6: us with.
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: Anything you just I think we're in a really good stay.
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 1: I think I think we have an occult community with
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: a whole range of powerful publishers with different voices at
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: different price points that are making stuff available. We have
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: online communities like this which are allowing people to have
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: conversations in real time, which is hugely important. We've had
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 1: some brilliant conferences like your Culture conference in Berlin last
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: year was like just super just to have people and
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: bodies in space, because people in space don't talk shit
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: because there are consequences. So over on meet on a
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: level and you realize what people are like, and you
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: learn a lot more from people that way than you
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: do anywhere else. So we're in a in a dangerous,
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: unpredictable world. But I think as a community to practitioners.
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: It's just wonderful to continue to share and to drive
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: the tradition onwards.
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 14: I think, Yeah, I agree. We've got apocalypse coming anyway
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 14: in maybe twenty years or something. Yeah, probably, Yeah, within
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 14: five years, we're on this side of the veil exactly.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 6: That was very well said. Thank you both for coming on.
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 6: I thought that was a great discussion. There was a
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 6: lot of great stuff said. I know we kind of
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 6: veered off a little bit off of like actual topic,
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 6: but I was really glad that we got you on
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 6: and everybody chimed in and the way it went. Before
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 6: we wrap it up, I'll let everybody I just kind
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 6: of promote themselves again. We'll start over again with you

• 1:34:26

• 1:34:31
  Speaker 5: theories of magic, and sort of aonic currents, I think
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 5: that we've been hitting it. So thank you so much,
