meta-physician integrating the occult sciences and internal arts with contemporary thought and culture

@NewYorker It isn't so much any increase in our standard puritanical prudishness, but a result of decades of divisive gender politics, an onslaught of fear campaigns about the health dangers of sex, and real health decline that has people too sick and tired to deal with the stress of sex.

@mtschreck @Jason_Jorjani The RNG is a key point. No one claims it is "psychic" when it gets effected by intention. Throw some coins and look up the result in the I Ching and you will get a detailed analysis of your mind. Is the book psychic? No. Consciousness is relational. Not a property of objects.

If the right really wanted create a future for the West, they would stop squabbling over sects or promoting their self-branded movements and embrace the West's esoteric tradition and role in the evolution of consciousness. This could catalyze every sect and denomination to collaborate while still allowing for difference. https://t.co/s2j3z0uBTN

They don't believe; they covet the power they think is involved. The Right has developed an Oedipal anxiety and obsession with the occult. They sense that real power comes from what is basically "spiritual practice", but since they aren't doing it, and don't see it as compatible with their politics, they must turn it into a melodramatic contamination drama: demonic "occultism" to the Christian right, a Jewish conspiracy further out.https://t.co/yHULHCMrVs

@LostMyHats @ericmetaxas The West has made this whole subject so complicated. The occult is just the techniques that can help you achieve higher levels in any art or activity. The East just calls it "the internal arts". https://t.co/6LGWOjw0fr

Hello friends--check out my partner Megan Denham lending her artistic skills, as well as her beautiful face and voice to my words in our video. The channel is now named after my three volume book "Occult Semiotics".

I have been working full time on this tome the past few years. With it nearing completion, I have started putting the texts, chapter by chapter, up on substack, so please do a free subscription if you are interested and want email updates.

Don't take Evola as anything representative of the occult viewpoint. No Theosophist would want to burn the world down; no one who believes in the yuga system would have that attitude. There are Christian Theosophists like Rudolf Steiner you should check out. The occult is just spiritual technique in any tradition https://t.co/bZLSMrH4Sq

@RealDonMarshall I would say that the core of occult is actually just the internal dimension of any activity. Having occult skill is what makes anyone good at what they do.

@michaelrood I think you misunderstand the occult.

@pravinkaswan I agree, but the occult is more primarily about building coherence through the internal arts than it is about learning the secrets of the external world. Astrology is useless without internal practice. https://t.co/IeoUHa2UcN

@rustyrockets Thanks for asking! I have a short book on the philosophy and sociology of knowledge that has led to the disaster of vaccine science for those interested.

@KeithWoodsYT It would be cool to see you address the message of the movie that is legitimately at odds with right wing politics: that there is no convincing people to respect tradition and the gods once they have left that behind, only a historical process that may eventually correct it.

[adam pogioli @PogioliAdam]

Its simple: what they did was dishonorable: a sacred offering of peace used as a trick. The whole film is about the consciousness change away from one that was bound to the gods. Here I draw out the parallels the film makes to our own times and changing consciousness:

@clairlemon @GiancarloSopo Like Achilles, the right seem so focused on the adolescent assertation of identity that they miss what the Odyssey is about: its a reversal of Achilles' choice of eternal identity over life. Odysseus must let go of his pride to become a true king. https://t.co/aWx0abdSmi

@AshtonForbes Now show us the amount you got from Israel!

[adam pogioli @PogioliAdam]

@KeithWoodsYT Gibson should do the Iliad. Like Achilles, the right seem so focused on the adolescent assertation of identity that they miss what the Odyssey and lasting power are about: using it not for fleeting victory but all society.https://t.co/1uO8gXHlqh

@martyrmade @FischerKing64 Would love to know what you thought of the film, Darryl. I think it's about the change in consciousness from culture to civilization, ala Spengler (loved your podcast on him back in the day). I also draw on Julian Jaynes' take on Homer, in the wake of AI. https://t.co/1uO8gXHlqh
