JFK and FDR were also demigods or populists but they were democrats. Like the left also has populists. The thing is most trump supporters I know are regular people that aren’t emotional politically or hate peopoe. That’s the media lies. Like wake the heck up. Most people vote Trump in the west cause the left shuts down public lands and literally kills tons of jobs and towns all in the name of the environment while they do nothing to buy or acquire land and expand public lands and environmental protection east of Colorado. You have to be dumb and blind to not see the difference in some respects between left and right
Also I’d argue the left has emotional rallies like the maga. Its just labeled the Blm movement that destroyed two billion in property damages and politicians rallied and supported it.
Trump wanted Europe to fund nato. Could you. Trump wasted money but he at least was anti endless wars. Look at how the military got a new war after Trump left.
Based on the conversation about LAM, I was reminded of the connections that owls and UFOs share. Mike Clelland talks about this in his book The Messengers. He says if you look at a negative image of LAM, you can see a great horned owl.
Thank you all for this great episode. Isn't the idea of the book The Sex Magicians as a sigil more about readers doing the magical work (even if unknowingly)? Even assuming a small readership, if a few dozen or perhaps hundred people would masturbate to it upon reading, that should "charge" the idea of RAW as a writer worth publishing much more efficiently than if only RAW himself would do some wank magic. And Illuminatus! did subsequently get published, as well as many more books to follow. Just saying...

Regarding dreams, Earth Body / Dream Body, and transferring movements from dreams to waking life - all these topics (and more) were addressed and interestingly developed in the series The OA (2016 - 2019). I don't want to give spoilers because I highly recommend watching it, especially with a focus on the 8th circuit and dreams. However, I got the impression that the creators excellently portrayed Antero Alli's concepts.
And for the spiritual attributes emerging in the later circuits, The Yogas Sutras from Patanjali shows you another model :) Specially the 4th Pada/Chapter
@@hilaritaspresspodcasts6111 In The OA, the characters try to remember and replicate the movements from their dreams as accurately as possible, which later become a tool for insights into other dimensions.
I've always been curious why Leary and others focused mostly on metaprogramming adults, completely overlooking the upbringing of children (including their own, although fortunately, this cannot be said about RAW). It is much easier to take care of the first 4 circuits (and beyond) in the best possible way in a child than to reprogram and especially re-imprint them in adults. After all, the 8-Circuit Model can serve as an excellent framework for raising a child, and I feel that's an area they missed covering. Imagine a person whose parents knew the Model well, developed each basic circuit in them perfectly, and how such a well-rooted person would find it easier to activate upper circuits and become the whole individual the authors seemed to dream about.
I’ve taken the Tarot course referred to at the end of this video and I found it very informative, thought-provoking, and, as is often the way with Mr. DuQuette, hilarious. His passion for the subject is very engaging, and as RAW might say, he doesn’t take it too Sirius.
1st time viewer. Lon and his wife I'm coming to find, are the heavy hitters for us in catching glimpses of a bygone Era. Such humility, so expansive, and the depth of they're understanding is immeasurable. Truly Iconic in they're own right. They are the Wisdom keepers I would visit, sit down and listen to if all we had was oral tradition. Just recently I found a signed 1st edition of his Thoth Tarot book. Also a plethora of his Facebook videos are reposted on a RU-vid channel, Arcanum Luminarium. The Thoth Tarot, the Book of Thoth, the Art work of Lady Harris and Lons understanding truly is a culmination for us and the Journey of: The Great Work. Thank you for this Interview!
I'm a Santa Cruz native and found this pretty exciting. I lived in Live Oak around when RAW died but unfortunately I didn't know who he was until I left Santa Cruz. Thanks for the interview!
Your Mondo2000 launch parties were great! And those regular Jay Cornel-Ann Weiser Berkeley potlucks were cool too. (Adam Osborn, et al) Be well. Interesting daze. (I took the Ram Das side of the launch pad..UN abused.) Cheers!
So sad to hear Antero Alli died. I just felt like I lost a friend. I loved his "The Eight-Circuit Brain," and especially "Angel/Tech." For sure, he had a beautiful mind and what a being of light he was.
I believe the Garrison-related word Joseph was looking for is propinquity, as in Time And Propinquity. Although as you two sort of get to afterward, I wonder if without Jim Garrison, we would have had Illuminatus!
Just look what NORMAL people have made of this world! Flee, flee from the dread demons of NORMALITY to BOB. Little Kenny Copeland's church has a few jets, big deal... The Church of the Subgenius has a fleet of flying saucers.
Fun and interesting interview / dialogue. “Rather than kill myself, I thought I’d do something creative.” I can relate! Love Scott’s sense of humor and stories. Thanks for sharing.
Fans of _The Prisoner_ ought to check out his stuff in the show notes. Scott also established his own order of the episodes that is highly regarded. I didn't find all this out until after the interview or I would have asked him about it. Next time.
Greetings from Chicago Mike! So glad to have found this podcast. Great interview. I was lucky to have met Bob and Tim several times when they came through town. In conversation they were most kind to myself and my friends. We were young, inquisitive and just devoured the New Falcon books! Looking forward to Wayne Saalman's new book !
