Anthony Peake - Cracking Reality: Daimons, Avatars, & Egregores (Pt. 2 of 2)
We smash the final cracks at the existential mirrors, with topics such as: Can who master to navigate reality enter a more optimal timeline? Is civililization rigged to reset once a critical mass see through the illusions? Will time slow down upon death? Can we continuously zoom in & out? What's the origin of prophets? How many dimensions of space-time & are there holes in between? Multiverse or Many-worlds? Is the ubiquitous Corona reality exceptional in known history? What if during Lucid Dreaming or OBE we look into a mirror? Is brain a projection generator? What's the secrets of the Pineal Gland? Virus = Genetic Machine? + Will Peake's team create an Egregore?

You guys really need to listen to this one when it's uploaded. Particularly those of you interested in esoteric traditions and how my writings link with them.

Anthony Peake - Cracking Reality: Daimons, Avatars, & Egregores (Pt. 1 of 2)
WARNING: This show blows up paradigm walls (especially in pt. 2) to decode strata of reality. A few of the points in pt. 1: What's the invisible creatures? What relation to UFO's? Do life forms exist at EM frequencies beyond visible range? Can archetypes manifest objectively? Are quasi corporeal entities able to interact with us? Are jinns made of Plasma? Waves or particles? How literal is the simulation theory? Do quantum anomalies occur at higher levels? Are Black Holes closed systems? Is amnesis our curse or blessing? Is reality unfolding along an observer's awareness? Who controls your reality & how far can you affect it? AND hear how your life repeats upon death...

Now we review more of the evidence itself, exposing Freemason rituals comparing mutual elements with Norse trad. Some issues raised: Was Guild original a spiritual assembly? Do we have Norse halls with symbolism of the Craft? Did they share akin ritual ductus & equipment, material fabrics, Temple decor, outfits, & signs? What of the oaths, club, apron, Square & Compass? Did initiates have to pass Freya's wall, mix blood, or go underground? How long did early outdoor rites last? Did the first Norse worship a matriarchal Freja cult unto eastern tribes invaded with war cult of Thor? Why G & Blue?

Arvid Ystad - The Norse Roots of Freemasonry (Pt. 1 of 2)
Today we drop a bombshell: Has Norse religion survived as the 3 basic Freemasonic degrees of the "Blue Lodge"? Curiously there's evidence to indicate this. In pt. 2 we reveal the rituals and investigate essence & symbolism to compare with norse trad. In pt. 1 we consider historic context to see if it's possible. Some topics raised: Was Odin a person? Did Vikings bring Rites of Freya, Thor, & Odin to the British isles? Did they sacrifice humans? Was the old & new religion practiced parallel up to 1400s? Do Heraldic Orders derive from the Craft? Did King Æthelstan purge pagan myths replacing it with Judeo-Christian terms? AND hear how Vikings used hallucinogenics... :: :: :: :: All programs are gratis & listener funded.
