The Secret Teachings

The theory of 'panopticon' was developed by Jeremy Bentham in the 18th century, suggesting that people only obey the prevailing rules and norms when they know they are being surveilled. Now that we are aware that such monitoring takes place by the second, many have ventured to defend the watchers by swimming like a remora fish under a shark.

In nearly every zombie movie the military moves in to bomb and burn population centers wherein most of the ‘infected’ roam about. Be it The Walking Dead or The Last of Us, or a virus, bacterium, or fungus. But this never ends an outbreak, and it could be argued that the military makes the matter worse by killing civilians and destroying infrastructure. We can find an analogy to this within the way we treat the body and illness every day; bomb the body to stop an illness and ultimately cause more devastation. There is also a strange parallel between ancient priestly classes, who were often scientists, using fear and sacrifice to control the population by cutting out the heart, and how modern disease treatments target the heart - recently making it swell to the point of death. In fact, most diseases are as fictional in nature, based on exaggeration, fear, and dramatization, as are the former zombie movies. All of the coverage in both the mainstream and alternative media keeps us in a state of gast, terrified and confused. Dawn Lester and David Parker, authors of 'What Really Makes You Ill?', join us for a discussion.

In the first hour Karen A. Dahlman, author and ouijaologist, joins us to discuss the universally accepted concepts of our ‘higher self’ and the power of our heart, both in general culture and in theology. In hour two, author and Sedona tour-guide John Polk will join us to discuss his work with ghost hunting and ufo sightings. It is important to build our investigation into such things, using logic and science, while still considering the possibility that some mysteries may never be solved.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-secret-teachings--5328407/support.

Remote Viewing and Remote Influencing could be looked at as either science-fiction or fantasy, or both. But governments and militaries have attempted to weaponize these abilities for decades going back to Project Grill Flame. The ‘sixth-sense’ and intuition are likewise grouped together with science-fiction and the paranormal. However, all of the above are very much rooted in mainstream, contemporary science and physics. From changing nature based on observation to sensing beyond the physical, these para-psychological abilities are innate within us. In fact, Remote Viewing/Influencing is based on standard concepts of physics and intuition, beyond just a survival instinct, is an accumulation of ambiguous data, or patterns, gathered by the body over time and interpreted sub-consciously. Michael Jaco, former Navy Seal, and author of ‘The Intuitive Warrior’, joins us for a disunion.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-secret-teachings--5328407/support.

Death is the great equalizer, a debt that all men pay. As our yearly wheel turns past Mabon (the Fall Equinox) and approaches Samhain in late October, we witness in the Northern Hemisphere three things: the Black Horse of Revelations bringing death, the ‘fall’ of man, and the unveiling or lifting of the veil by way of apocalypse. But death is merely a prerequisite for rebirth and so throughout history death has been a central feature in human culture. Death is both part of the microcosm of the body and the macrocosm of nature itself.Skeletons, ghosts, death-masks, and other Memento Mori have always been reminders of the fragility of life rather than symbols or tropes of death worship. Instead, death is venerated alongside life as part of a cyclical process. The Freemasons have skeletons and coffins for these reasons, as do traditional Satanists of the Anton LeVay order. Death only identifies with evil when the cycle of life is broken. From the East Asians traditions of Jesa (any time) and the Hungry Ghost (August 30) to the Mexican Day of the Dead (November 1-2) and commercialized western ‘Halloween’. The Japanese Buddhists have Bon (August 13-15) and the Hindus have Pitru Paksha (September 10-25). They are all similar if not the same; honoring ancestors and the dead with celebration, food, and dance among other things.

We continue our discussion with Michael Strange of Troubled Minds podcast, and Derek Murphy, in this part 2 episode, about the tentacles of the abysmal deep and the internet. There may be more than a ghost in the machine and, in fact, this ghost may have escaped the machine. From beyond the reality we know, a super-intelligence could already be coldly operating from outside of space-time, perhaps giving explanation to the Mandela Effect. This alien force beyond the veil puppets us like parasitic fungus and feeds off our energy like a vampire. There is also the very real possibility that powerful interests, already consumed by nuclear war, releasing bioweapons, and eugenics, are actually programming the public to believe such ideas are coming from artificial intelligence.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-secret-teachings--5328407/support.

We wonder whether the world of monsters is above, below, or within. From Ouija boards to modern keyboards, and from the ink of a quill to that of a pen, man has been engaged in acts of unholy creation for centuries, diving into the depths of both his own mind and the abyss. Much of what we call science fiction is not too far removed not only from science, but from dark magic. We wonder if artificial intelligence is a greater threat than nuclear weapons, or if the latter helped to awaken the former. Perhaps AI is not a threat but some in power wish you to believe such a thing in order to coerce your obedience. Michael Strange of Trouble Minds Podcast, and Derek Murphy join in part of one of a two part series to explore these ideas.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-secret-teachings--5328407/support.

The four elements pervade everything we do, form washing our hands and breathing, to standing in the sun on the physical ground. They comprise the four corners of creation, or a square, which is Metatron’s Cube or Saturn’s Cube (his star created by the elemental symbolic signs). This is the 3D world designed by the Great Architect, like William Blake’s God with square and compass. These creative elements, and associated spirits or elementals, provide foundation and allow for life to be. The four classical elements are also accompanied by a fifth element, or what we call Man, though sometimes described as space or spirit itself. These five elements are aligned with the protective force of the pentagram and symbolize what we perceive as reality. Outside the seven days or rays of creation, which come from a central eighth world or sphere, Leviathan, is the great Ouroboros eating its own tail.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-secret-teachings--5328407/support.

Suzzane Ross is an author and the organizer of the Sedona Ascension Retreat in Arizona. She joins us to discuss the occult, spirituality, physics, and the meaning and purpose of words like ‘ascension’, ‘simulation’, ‘vortex’, and the soul/spirit. These words are used almost obsessively by some and can lead other to become so comfortable with a form of faith in a perceived spiritual power that they effectively give up on trying to do anything to better themselves. We need an objective and honest review of this terminology and concepts considered wacky or new age by some people. We need this review because so many wonderful things are clouded by misunderstandings and the like.

Tokyo, Japan, is always used as an advertisement for overpopulation, or the idea that we are running out of resources and space to expand as a species. With 14 million people direct, and 37 million estimated indirect - around Tokyo - it would seem to certainly be a case of overpopulation. However, Japan has been grappling with population decline for years. The most recent numbers show twice as many people dying than are being born - 1.58 million to 800,000 roughly. In fact, Japan’s population has been falling from its peak of 128 million in 2008 to now 124.6 million. But Tokyo, like many cities, is actually overcrowded, since more than a third of the entire population lives in the general vicinity. How can Tokyo be a sign of overpopulation in a country with one of the lowest birth rates in the world; so bad, in fact, that the country is in a state of emergency, according to the Prime Minister. This is coupled with an older generation, still one of the healthiest in the world, which is dying. The government is even soon to be paying people to leave Tokyo. History shows that after the Meiji Restoration in 1868, and Imperial Japan’s defeat in WWII, centuries of Shi-kata and Kai Zen boosted the country into economic and cultural superiority as it opened to the rest of the world. Now it seems that Japan’s population is not the only thing declining, as its culture, language, and history is sold off and cheapened. This makes Japan the blueprint for the new world, a sophisticated culture, as with ancient China, opened to expansion by powerful forces that effectively eliminate the power of people and tradition in place of collective ideology. The irony is, Japan has a collectivist mindset but it is different than the authoritarian mindset of other countries.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-secret-teachings--5328407/support.
