The Secret Teachings

The Kabbalah, which is likely Indian in origin rather than Jewish, is popularly considered the most iconic and powerful system of magical development. However, the soul of this roadmap to self development can be found in virtually all magical systems and secret societies, not to mention mythology and fairy tales. The human body, from base-chakra-Malkuth to head-crown-kether, and even the standard Christmas tree, embody and project that which Kabbalah preserves. Its foundation is found in the four elements and their associated magical tools. Call it magic or miracle, the metaphors are deeply rooted in the human psyche.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-secret-teachings--5328407/support.

BEST OF: It is now inescapable that Corey Goode, the cosmic conman, lied about his trips to space and about his blue bird friends. Not only did he lie, which he admitted in a legal deposition, but he wanted to trademark his imaginary friends so you had to pay him to communicate with them. He filed suit because people questioned his lies and poked fun at him. Goode has done more than anyone else to demean, degrade, and disgrace anyone interested in UFOs, aliens, the paranormal, conspiracies, etc., perhaps with the exception of David Wilcock.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-secret-teachings--5328407/support.

BEST OF: Author Brad Olsen joins us to discuss sacred places in North America, and around the world, including the largest pre-columbian archeological site in North America, Cahokia Mounds. We will explore the pre-concluded policies in archeology and history which form our orthodoxy, but also examine the necessity in staying as objective as possible when looking at new evidence so that we don't end up in a feedback loop of confirmation bias. This is especially important with AI-generated photos and now even the use of algorithms in archeology.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-secret-teachings--5328407/support.

Since the Hunger Games was released in 2008 there have been attempts to ban the book(s) due to what many say are satanic, occult, or illuminati themes. Defenders of the titles say there is nothing at all occult, religious, etc., about the stories. Suffice to say, both are wrong. The newest book, and recently released movie, is titled ‘The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes’. Readers of myth already know the meaning, as the bird is the enemy of serpents. Apollo killed the python, St Michael kills the dragon, and even the Semitic Aleph is a sword driven into a serpent. The title can be directly corollated to Beauty and Beast, too, since Belle is the harmonious beauty and music which calms the animal. The main character in the new Hunger Games movie, Lucy Gray, has this ability in more ways than one. We can also find reference here to Genesis 3 wherein God curses the serpent to be crushed by the offspring of the woman. Lucy is set up in the movie with serpents to represent both Isis, and the woman from Revelation 12; she who is ready to give birth but is surrounded by the darkness of the dragon; she who is clothed in solar protection and crowned by a halo of 12 stars - the numbered district Lucy is taken from as tribute. From the start of the film, the masonic square and compass also features prominently at the Capitol district. These symbols draw the authority of said state. The floor of the arena where the games take place is also painted with a black sun. All of these symbols relate to Saturn. The rose likewise features prominently in the film. Viewers see the red, then white, then yellow rose, all featured in relation to the unfolding dialogue and scene - passion, purity, friendship. Since Saturn, whose metal is lead, is so obviously represented, it is only appropriate that the golden rose, bird, and snake be the symbols of the Hunger Games series. Lead transformed to gold is symbolic of the internal transformation which sees the dragon-ego conquered to strip power from the beast-animal-self, and allow direct access to the dragon’s gold. Dat Rosa Mel Apibus means ‘The Rose Gives Honey to Bees’, and it is this honey, or ambrosia, or elixir of life, which is our reward.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-secret-teachings--5328407/support.

History is not merely his story, nor is it entirely accurate or completely fabricated. It is a complex web of details that, from whatever the perspective, is missing context. From west to east and back, we know a mythologized history, which although not entirely fabricated, rarely allows for context and other points of view. The same is true within so-called alternative communities of history and archeology.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-secret-teachings--5328407/support.

CNN recently published an article about how we can celebrate a “green” Thanksgiving, providing ‘advice’ on how to prevent waste, how to dress up our dishes simply to preserve resources, how to save scraps, and how to take stock of what we have before we shop. Strangely, these are things we have always done traditionally for different reasons - stretching our money or respecting what we have - and they have nothing to do with the “green” movement. This cult ideology is thus attempting to rewrite tradition, history, culture, and our holidays. Thanksgiving is about family and friends, but it is also about abundance and a cornucopia of plenty; it is about being thankful, grateful, and happy with what we have be it little or excessive. Materalism opposes reasoning in our search for happiness and success, but having an excess of wealth and food is something we need to put into context. What is wealth and what is excess? We should not be complacent and accepting of having less and less because we already have plenty. We should not be corned and lectured about our wealth or abundance, and convinced to give it up so we can be poorer like others. We should use our wealth and abundance to help others.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-secret-teachings--5328407/support.

BEST OF: The fallout from Twitter staff over new management - with their crying, therapy sessions, and vomiting - has provided us with a vitally important perspective. Wealthy, powerful, entitled, and ungrateful arbiters of information are only happy when they can control how other people act and think; hate to them is when an opinion they disagree with is expressed; their anger over being forced to work full time or to pay for their own lunch should be a lesson to all of us about how much we need to appreciate what we have and recognize the greatness of our abundance. Furthermore, we need to be thankful for not only what we possess but for our ability to think beyond mundane polarity. Despite the narrative painted for and against Elon Musk, his companies are ultimately driving humanity towards transhumanism. Far be it from a conspiracy, the red logo of Tesla is the Tau cross which is a symbol for “synthesis.” The blue bird of Twitter is also a symbol of both “synthesis” and “pure ideas,” i.e., consciousness. When combining the immense amount of data from Twitter, largely through free speech, Musk is able to synthesize it with Tesla’s Optimus robot and further connect the system to NeuraLink and StarLink. Synthesis after all does mean “the combination” of something “to form a system.” This “system” is the “synthesis” of biological and technological distinctiveness using our data. At the moment it is a flipping of the Thanksgiving bird.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-secret-teachings--5328407/support.

BEST OF: Stephen Hawking once said that “if aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn’t turn out well for the Native Americans.” But this is a gross oversimplification of history. It is a narrative with truly disgusting caricatures that lack context, and therefore cultivate divisiveness and ignorance.Long before the traditional Pilgrim story, and even before Columbus, white men arrived in the Americas bringing gifts, goods, and new, sometimes similar traditions - these were largely known as the Templars. They were welcomed by many societies who saw them as the return of the white gods who built civilization in parts of the Americas. When the Spanish arrived later they were seen as the same gods, but used this religious belief to commit atrocity against a people themselves engaged in barbaric practices like human sacrifices. Conquistadors do NOT represent all Europeans. Pilgrims were religious refugees and shared a different motivation from conquistadors, and the later colonizers, settlers, land speculators, etc. Likewise, various Indian tribes welcomed Europeans just as many saw them as savages. For as many Europeans whom saw Indians as savages there were plenty who saw them as business partners, friends, and more. Long before Europeans arrived officially we know that many Indian tribes had destroyed their hunting lands and fishing waters, were at war with one another, and later became dependent on European goods, as much as Europeans were reliant on the same. Red and White men were driven into conflict largely by greed and ignorance, particularly of each others’ cultures and economic systems. For all the attention focused on Plymouth, it was actually the Spanish admiral Don Pedro Menéndez de Aviles at St. Augustine in the 1860s who invited the local Timucua indigenous tribe to share in celebration and prayer for his safe arrival and the abundance of the new world.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-secret-teachings--5328407/support.

The JFK Assassination is the ultimate archetypical conspiracy, which largely painted the way for modern conspiracy theory. This show marks its 60th-anniversary, an interesting date in relation to Chinese numerology. According to the latter, 57 years marks a minor transition and 60 marks a major transition in the passage of time. This certainly applies to our current zeitgeist. But the Kennedy story is more than a conspiracy; it is a modern example of an archaic ritual calling ‘killing the king’ - regicide. The myth applies to both physical kings and agricultural gods that provide the base for wheat bread and grape wine. The similarities between the JFK story and Osiris in Egypt, down to the obelisk and its 13 pieces with flaming torch, are striking. The three shots that rang out, frame 313 of the Zapruder film, the 33rd parallel, November 22 (33), and the under bridge / underworld at Dealy Plaza. As Kennedy seems to have been shot in the head as king, so too was his chariot limo decapitated, and so too was the US Government.Ryder Lee's new JFK documentary with Jay Weidner: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/0M5JE087P8OH7CNJQG4SSOODY4/ref=share_ios_movieBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-secret-teachings--5328407/support.
