I asked a sage once, “If everything is preordained, why should we worry about our choices?” ”Do you know what is fated to occur?” he replied. ”No,” I answered. ”Then,” the sage said, “You have choice!”

I’m seeing something like that in some forms of mystical astrology. If you look at the precession of the equinoxes, phases of the moon, motion of the planets, rotation of the ‘fixed stars‘ of the zodiac, and the turning of the great wheel of the ages, when you come around the dial to the “12”...

What have you discovered?

i watched the Snyder parapolitical interview AFTER I watched this, and, after what was said there about all manner of high level deception and whatnot, how can you dismiss the possibility of a “criminal medical fraud” so easily? What’s going on now can be understood as the culmination of years...

You are not alone, if that helps any.

Perhaps more important than fixing on the Hindu terminology is an understanding of what the ‘Kali Yuga’ describes, namely, the assault on and final dissolution of traditional values in the modern world. The concept of the “Akhir Zaman”, the last times or the end of days is common to Judaism...

I have enjoyed Charles Upton’s books in the past. I’ll go have a look at his current stuff, insh’Allah. Have you read Rene Guenon?

Again thanks Michael and others, for your thoughtful comments. May we move ever towards greater understanding. A couple of observations; firstly, the Quran is designed or intended to be recited, rather than to be read like a conventional book. The text has many divisions, and small portions...

Again thanks

Quran, 55:33, “O, ye assembly of jinns and men, if you think that you are able to pass through the zones (levels) of the heavens and earth, then pass! You will never be able to pass without an authority (vehicle, or permission, or means)!” Islamic spirituality as a means is mostly overlooked...

Let me try to extract myself from the hole I’ve dug for myself, bearing in mind the sage advice, “when you find yourself in a hole, stop digging!” I was firstly responding to something Alex said in the Horsley interview, namely that the character of Satan is not well documented in the Old...

You’ll have to read the extended email exchange between Levenda and Horsley. Horsley strongly suggested Crowley was a pedophile, and Levenda responded that there was no evidence of actual pedophelia. They went back and forth in this vein for quite awhile. I would have liked them to discuss...

Even 600 AD. Muslims believe one of the purposes of the Quranic revelation is/was to correct the mistakes, if that is the right word, in the transmission of both the Old and NewTestaments from their sources onto the later generations, and the filling in of much material that had been, for...

I listened to part of this. I’ll try to hear the rest later. My first impressions, for what it’s worth, concerns the relationship between Zevi/Frank and sufism. To equate sufism with the cult of Hasan e Sabbah is an absurdity. I can’t understand also why a serious practitioner of sufism...

All that being said, Crowley is a dangerous figure. To leave aside all restraints on the ego in the pursuit of one‘s desires is the exact description of satanism. This is evil’s siren song. Enough preaching - provocative episode, Alex.
