Mr. Ehret, I'm wondering if, among your writings, you have published a 40,000-foot view of this strange period of occult/esoteric revival (or perhaps you are building toward this). The more I read, the more astonished I am by those developments. Of course, I am wondering about the motives of the elite in such activities, which you hint at (cultivate a world religion favorable to elite control? give the elite some kind of an edge? intimidation? develop MKULTRA style control of others? psyops? distract and redirect?...). On a separate note, you would appear to have avoided weaving the work for Rudolph Steiner into your narratives. I'm curious about your view of Steiner (I am a fan, admittedly.). Through the lens of your work, I am wondering if Steiner's "science of the supersensible world" is some kind of response to the satanist, materialist, and demiurgic element lurking behind much of this occult activity. That Steiner was Hungarian--not British--and with sentiments aligning with Goethe might suggest a different orientation. And "Philosophy of Freedom" would seem to be as straightforward and parsimonious a work of philosophy as one could wish for. Thank you for your work (& Cynthia's).

the best place to start is my recent five part series, which will soon have one or two more installments before getting turned into a book. All five published sections can be found here: https://matthewehret.substack.com/p/carl-jungs-gnostic-revival-the-age

Also Steiner has not impressed me at all. He has come up a bit in my research within some of the sections of my Occult Tesla series... part 2 and 3 especially, but a few other locations as well https://matthewehret.substack.com/p/the-occult-tesla-part-11

Mr. RTM63 . Steiner was born in Hungary . That's not making

him Hungarian . Since when Steiner is a Magiar name ? Hungarians are not calling themselves Hungarians but Magiars(Magyars).The people of the MAGI .

Thank you, Mr. Navi, for enlightening me. What do you make of all this 19th century occult activity? My Polish ancestors were devout Catholics; would have been scandalized by all of it. It seems to fit with growing secularism, Protestantism, urbanism, enlightenment arrogance. Or did it represent a thirst for the esoteric side of the faith? British secret societies probably tapping into existing trends.

one think coming up to my mind...would it be possible that mabel collins would be the grand mother of john todd, who's real name is john collins. He did claim he was from the highest bloodline family, and if mabel collins had the power to interfere over blavatsky and sir olcott. well, we gotta start by admitting the jhon collins family crest is also one of his claim. but it do coincide. Aint there a saying that goes: lots of coincidence makes an evidence? For todd\collins it makes sense.

popular, traditional textile pattern 'kawung' (batik, Indonesia) depicting viseca pisces and perhaps also the grid for the much more complicated Solomon Seal pattern - https://d3p0bla3numw14.cloudfront.net/news-content/img/2020/10/07192550/motif-batik-7.jpg
