Over the past few months, Cynthia and I have been spending more time than we had ever thought possible researching the occult underground from ancient times to our present age, in order to prepare the groundwork for our ongoing ‘Hidden Hand Behind UFOs’ film series
I think it was a terrible thing when europe had a foreign faith forced upon her by the sword. we have betrayed and forgotten our ancestors, and are no longer grounded in the soil where they are buried. a faith that claims that all is dead matter but only we have consciousness... our consciousness just spontaneously emerged from dead matter for no apparent reason? either it is all conscious after its fashion, or none of it is. i believe it makes people mentally ill to deny the understanding of their ancestral faith. each person, each people is unique and has different spiritual needs. one size will never fit all. it was a terrible crime to force it on people... like communism or any belief that does not emerge with natural introspection , inquiry, virtues, and dialogue.
Great work as always! You and Cynthia have deepened my understanding of the world today, in the context of history all the madness we’re living through makes sense now.
Just wondering what kind of pushback you get from mainstream historians/propagandists..?
Petrus. You write: "I was only able to skim what was available to non-subscribers"... I'd highly recommend you spend the five bucks and read Cynthia's two incredibly powerful essays on Jung which draw heavily from Jung's writings and role within a process that you don't seem to have explored too deeply yet. Steiner is enmeshed in occultism to a high degree and whether or not he knew it, promotes a fallacious synthesis in moral opposites as far as attempting to fuse Aristotelian and Platonic methods of thinking which will only undermine the powers of sovereign thinking in anyone who tries to do that. For some of Steiner's occultism, my last essay may be something you enjoy. As for China: All fo the most positive leaps in progress and anti-feudalist dynamics have been driven by Confucianism (and not the neo-confucian legalism which has its own counterpart in Neo-Platonism -- both of which suffer from a dualistic proclivity to formalist tyranny and its necessary opposite gnostic superstition for initiated elitists). For your thoughts on Helga LaRouche's view on Goethe or Steiner: She is her own person and not sure why you think I agree with her assessment since I never brought her up in my assessment of these matters. I think Goethe is cool, but not as epistemologically or morally developed as Schiller was--- and as you noted, I'm very much not impressed by Steiner, though I would not at all call him "demonic". Though I'm open to being wrong on that last one.
The "occult", if defined as a process of a special time of knowledge detached from the sovereign powers of creative reasoning is absurd. Secret Societies that have played a positive role have held truths that are ultimetly intelligible to any mind that hasn't relinquished it's love of truth and self-reflexive, self-examining powers of heart and core assumptions. In times of greater cultural rot and superstition, as has struck humanity badly at different moments, making the mentation processes of reason and the discoverable universals of said reason become heretical at which times, I admit that the use of art and various "initiation" processes has been useful to bring people into a state of higher epistemological development. However, whenever the "inner esoteric" truths become devoid of intelligible reasoning powers, and profess to tap into higher supranatural powers involving Astral Projecting, reading past and future lives, clairvoyance that is unteachable and which no follower of Steiner or Besant seems to actually be capable of since it was never subjected to reasonability to begin with, or gnostic knowledge of realms of angel beings, and demonic forces in some pseudo pagan hierarchy of drama that only inner initiates or 'clairvoyant' special elites can access as Steiner professes to have this special unteachable knowledge called lazily a "spiriutal science"... then I call bullshit. Everytime that sort of lazy reasoning superstition becomes hegemonic, rot sets in, oligarchies get more powerful, people fall into dreamland, and shadows are increasingly embraced as light. I have zero respect for the occult from that standpoint, and that's why I am incredibly unimpressed by anyone who promotes that sort of thing. Also why Steiner feels like it is such a great thing that his previous incarnations were Aristotle, or Thomas Aquinas- both of whom played incredibly destructive roles in the war against the human mind and world peace (Aquinas authored the legal arguments justifying the Crusades) is beyond me. That isn't something to be proud about.
But honestly Petrus. I recommend just spending the five bucks to read Cynthia's essays. It's really worth it

Ooh non not Carl Jung too? Dang I liked him 😅 Cant wait for these series to go out !!
Hi Matt, loved the "Hidden hand" video, is part 2 available yet?
It is in production. Aiming for the next 3-4 weeks for a release
Did you actually read Cynthia's articles before you wrote this?
