The success of the creative arts over the past 100 years has proved its ability to bring about total moral and civilisational change.

@AldousAsterion Saw the term “prestigeslop” the other day. Jump the shark moment.

Everyone knows about George Van Tassel’s Integratron.

Almost nobody knows about Walter Bartoo and his giant wooden pyramid that he built in North Carolina- he believed he was continuing the same extraterrestrial technology.

According to those involved, the pyramid wasn’t just an experiment - it was designed to communicate with ETs through resonance, energy fields, and principles they claimed originated from non-human intelligence.

A forgotten story involving UFO contactees, strange technology, and one of the most bizarre chapters in the history of the UFO movement.

Have you ever heard of it?

@ShipsSmall @covertress Has anyone ever pinpointed the exact location of this encounter? I’ve found the general area on a map. Desert Center isn’t too far from me.

Only that which is constant perceives change; only the permanent can perceive impermanence. However dimly we may perceive it, there is that in us which is eternal and changeless.

Robert Crosbie, “What Reincarnates?” 1910

@sagharborcap Encouraging! It was controversial for a while.

[Sterling Crispin 🕊️ @sterlingcrispin]

It’s a miracle that we’re alive and that anything at all exists for us to experience.

[Michael Carter @MichaelKCarter]

The World

@Agent888488 Lovely, thank you. It does make me wonder about recent philosophy broadly. Is it—in its own way—this kind of “spiritual exercise”, even if superficially, or is it leading us away from this very transformation?

@cairoasmith Fantastic use of AI 👌

In the future awaits a fundamental redefinition of Modernism and the entire through-line of the 20th century .

You cannot re-enchant what is already enchanted.

These four can profitably be read in the order as shown here, although each has a different goal.
