Publisher R. A. “Kris” Millegan speaks with Paul Fitzgerald and Elizabeth Gould about the mystical power of love, how it's been used against us, and how to reclaim it for the benefit of mankind.They also discussed:Renaissance rulers, who used eros love and hate as a magical way to affect people and history. Those practices are still used today, spectacularly so in the ritual killing of President John F. Kennedy.Giordano Bruno, the 16th Century Italian philosopher and Dominican priest who got into a lot of trouble with the Vatican, used an Aristotelian technique, the art of memory – assigning images to concepts and events that one wanted to remember – and developed a way of using it to gain power over other people, of assigning erotic, covetous love to an image so people would help manifest it because they could not resist it.He went to England and connected with many who were using these ideas for the same goals, including John Dee (“English mathematician, astronomer, teacher, astrologer, occultist, and alchemist. He was the court astronomer for, and advisor to, Elizabeth I, and spent much of his time on alchemy, divination, and Hermetic philosophy.” -Wikipedia) Bruno's work with memory is similar today to things that would be considered quantum physics.An important part of what Bruno got sophisticated at was giving someone a memory that he wanted them to have, an idea that he wanted them to embrace.Eros is immature love. The love of the object of your attention. If you don't get your eros love returned, it turns to hate. As opposed to agape, which is unconditional love for everything. It is stable. It allows for a range of influences to come and yet remains open and conscious of what's going on around a person.Bruno's work to manipulate people in ways they couldn't resist seems to be the beginning of what is now known as psychological warfare, a way to manipulate people into the position or thinking that you want them to have.Bruno is still taught at the London School of Economics as part of their core curriculum, what he saw of the future and of the cosmos and the way we interact with it – as above, so below – part of what is referred to as the Hermetic Rituals.Everything is linked. All our actions in the microcosm are linked to the macrocosm, the idea being that if you can master those things in your own microcosm, you can master the macrocosm. You can take your ideas and make them global.And the creation of a simulacrum was part of this process, a simulacrum being a copy of a copy of reality.There were probably similarities between what they were trying to do and the old religion that was there prior to Christianity. A lot of pagan things. A great appreciation of nature.The ancient structures, such as Stonehenge in England and New Grange in Ireland, correspond to the cosmos. Hundreds of such structures are in Brittany and in parts of France. Evidence of a very sophisticated cosmic culture.TrineDay's Roundtable 33 (on the YouTube channel: Valediction Vision) shows a lot of the Fitzgerald history, and a lot of the history of Giordano Bruno and the beginning of what you might call a form of ritual magic.Words like “mystical” have been denigrated by those who use its power to control others. We must become comfortable in the use of these powers of persuasion, which is the purpose of Paul and Liz's project of resurrecting JFK's spirit of peace through the magic of Love Field, with an event on November 22, 2024, to help people recognize that the mystical power is for everyone's use, not just for those who abuse it in their quest to rule the world. It will also help heal the wound to this country and the world caused by the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.These powers are real. One has a friend around whom computers can't work. Liz's mother was a watch-stopper. Had beautiful watches. Every single one broke
Filippo Tomasso Marinetti was a 20th-Century Italian poet who founded the Futurist movement. In The Futurist Manifesto (1909), Marinetti lays out the tenants of Futurism: a complete rejection of the past, nationalism, contempt for women, veneration of technology and a love of speed. In his endless quest to go fast, Marinetti comes to resemble the archetype of Sonic the Hedgehog, albeit in an Italian form: Super Mario. Both Nintendo and Sega are sending Marinetti's corpse cease and desist letters right now!---- MASTICATE BANDhttps://masticate.bandcamp.com/https://open.spotify.com/artist/7IGCjYU2yCFoY339yLQiwL?si=VgBTEW4nST2brkOXpJzDaQVERY IMPORTANT INFORMATIONJack has published a novel!Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Tower-Jack-BC-ebook/dp/B0CM5P9N9M/ref=monarch_sidesheetApple Books: http://books.apple.com/us/book/id6466733671Jack's website: www.jackbc.meLevi's website: www.levioutloud.comOur Patreon: www.patreon.com/TheBookClubfromHellwww.thebookclubfromhell.comJoin our Discord (the best place to interact with us): discord.gg/ZMtDJ9HscrWatch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0n7r1ZTpsUw5exoYxb4aKA/featuredTwitter: @bookclubhell666

Picture the Italian princes adorned in radiant attire, their shining bodies reflecting their wealth and power. Not just a dazzling display, this episode uncovers the intricate Sumtuary Laws, the rules that dictated the length, color, and type of clothing according to status. And buckle up, because there's an intriguing twist: the severe consequences that came with attempting to deceive buyers with counterfeit gems and gold.But this journey doesn't stop at the glistening surface. We go behind the scenes of the silk production that engulfed Italy in the 1300s, culminating in a fashion peak in Milan in the 15th century. We'll trace the pathways of Isabella D'Este, dubbed the 'Jackie Kennedy of the Renaissance', navigating the royal courts of Europe with her refined sense of fashion, even as she traded dress dolls to keep up with international fashion trends. And just when you thought it couldn't get more interesting, we dive into the her riveting correspondence, and some tantalizing discoveries about Isabella's role as a patron of the arts.Finally, we take a detour into Renaissance masculinity and fashion. You won't want to miss the tale of a 15th-century Italian prince's quest for self-fashioning, complete with fresco cycles and a desire for whiter teeth in a time before modern dentistry. As we wrap up, we'll delve into the creation of Tim's new book 'Making the Renaissance Man', a treasure trove of insights about this vibrant period. So, come along on this fascinating journey into the heart of Renaissance Italy. You won't be disappointed.Farmers and Nobles traces the research path of blogger and podcast host Bob Sorrentino.

Welcome to the first in our From Our Inbox series, in which we give listeners a taste of the mail we get from folks wanting to bring a particular forgotten scientist to our attention. Here's the story of Alessandra Giliani, brought to us by Barbara Quick, an author and poet in the San Francisco Bay Area. There's a persistent myth in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy about Alessandra Giliani, a 14th-century girl who defied the laws of Church and state to attend medical school. The most concrete evidence of her existence comes in the form of illuminated manuscripts depicting an assistant to anatomist Mondino de Liuzzi who appears to be a cross-dressed woman. In this episode, associate producer Mackenzie Tatananni speaks with author Barbara Quick about Alessandra's discoveries, which were well ahead of their time.
My delightful & most interesting guest today is Jane Klaviter and if you're a fan of music & opera, or even if you're not, you're going to love to hear her story! Growing up in Chicago and coming from a very musically inclined family, she was destined to pursue a musical career, but never dreamed of the journey she has navigated! Jane has been involved in all things opera for a very long time, and has worked in many, if not most, of the most famous opera houses, including Lyric Opera in Chicago, Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Metropolitan Opera in New York, where she worked for over 18 years! She has taught at Juilliard and Manhattan School of Music among a long list of others! The most interesting job that you probably never heard of in the opera, is the prompter, a role in which she loved and excelled! And I believe she speaks at least six languages, and those are just the ones I know of! You will hear her passion as she tells several intimate stories during her career, working with legends like Luciano Pavarotti, Luigi Ricci and even actors who had speaking roles in productions such as Bea Author, Dom Delouse & Sid Caesar! And we will hear about her true passion, the Bel Conto Institute in Florence, Italy, a non-profit organization, she founded in 1987, with the purpose of teaching and perpetuating the style and tradition of 19th & 20th Century Italian opera and song through summer programs for students from all over the world. And of course, we'll hear her own story of what lured her to the lake! We are so fortunate to have her here and now it's time for you to meet her.

As Italian Jews immigrated to the Ottoman Empire during the sixteenth century, many wanted to switch to the Sephardic liturgical style. The question then was whether it was permitted to abandon well-entrenched communal customs—a question that's very much relevant today. Liturgical Warfare Among 16th-Century Italian Jews

Could contemporary urban Japan provide a living example of the 18th Century Italian notion of public happiness? The question is by no means far-fetched. Daily life in Japan is rich in examples of “public happiness,” as I’ll show through a number of anecdotes and examples. Yet Japan’s performance is mediocre under the usual subjective and capabilities/eudaemonia-based metrics of well-being. This talk proposes that public happiness ought to be considered a third, collective type of “happiness” that complements the usual, more individually-based conceptions. While public happiness doesn’t necessarily arise from government policies, it certainly can be impaired by them, particularly when such policies have quantitative targets such as productivity and growth. The failure of metrics to detect public happiness in Japan suggests that policies based on qualitative principles might be better for protecting and promoting it. An historical example of how a local government intervened in a traditional festival illustrates how qualitative considerations can enhance public happiness in practice. To conclude, I’ll propose a group of six qualitative “design principles” as candidate heuristics for policy-makers, among other actors.
