I think there's a developmental perspective on the lower four circuits that needs to be re expressed a little more clearly, which goes all the way back to Freud. I have in my own private or personal experience with the circuit something I don't teach so much because it's too valuable. The whole thing I look at it as from a relational perspective. It's sacred to me in that it ties into my artistic and creative processes which though I don't apply the intellectual explanations for them are highly intuitive and instinctive even. And they're almost through each of the circuits different points of relationship if you like. Yes, when I'm gunning for thatyou're onto a very rich territory.
In this episode, we chat with underground film maker, professional astrologer, paratheater ritualist, teacher, writer, forest walker, dreamer and no form engineer Antero Alli on Chapel Perilous, paratheater, and the Eight Circuit model.

“Chapel Perilous is a stage in the magickal quest in which your maps turn out to be totally inadequate for the territory, and you’re completely lost. And at that point you get an ally who helps you find your way back to something you can understand. And then after that for the rest of your life you’ve got this question: Was that ally a supernatural helper, or was it just part of my own mind trying to save me from going totally bonkers with this stuff? And the people I know who’ve had that kind of experience, very few of them have come to an absolutely certain conclusion about that.” -Robert Anton Wilson, “Maybe Logic”
