The Ancient Greek concept of Daimon leads us to the genius, and later to the Guardian Angel, and as of today Spirit Guides. The work of Plato, from an amnesiac soul to its self-realized spiritual ascension, is today spoken about in the form of star seeds and ascension mysteries. Helana Blavatsky's channeling of the ‘mysterious Indian', known as Moray, along with Koot Humi, and Alice Bailey's channeling of Djwal Khul, have taken us to the channeling of Ashtar by George van Tassel, or the various contacts made by Aleister Crowley of Lam, Aiwass, and the Red Lady, and further of every person today with a cell phone camera who channels interdimensional aliens. Crowley also famously ripped off the Golden Dawn society and then profited from its exploitation, commercializing his new product while promoting self-indulgence - instead of sacrifice - the killing of all old gods, and the placement of the self above all else. Considering his work with British intelligence it is curious how his conceptions of new age religion are also found within the post-modernist progressive movements of today. In fact, theosophists like CW Leadbeater, who showed young boys how to masturbate, Anna Kingsford, a huge woman's right activist, engaged in magical murder, claiming to be a psychic killer, and both Edward Maitland and Samuel Mathers, who advocated for a vegetarian diet and animal rights, all pushed the very foundational elements of modern progressivism and new age magic, even if by mere accident or misunderstanding. Contemporary frauds like David Wilcock advocate for the abolishment of due process of law, saying we should lock away all bad actors who will be defined by secret sources. And the outrageous science-fiction claims of Corey Goode have set back legitimately spiritual conversations and ufological investigation by maybe decades. From Paul Benowitz being driven mad by the military and intelligence community with fake alien stories, to Robert Short stealing George's Ashtar Command for commercialized sell, to the exploitation of naive and vulnerable frauds like Jordan Sather or senile frauds like Pete Peterson, we have seen the building of a DARK FLEET SPHERE BEING ALLIANCE OF BLUE CHICKENS AND SECRET SPACE PROGRAM SUPER SOLDIERS, a.k.a., the SDSSP, Super Duper Secret Space Program. -FULL ARCHIVE & RSS: https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-secret-teachings Twitter: https://twitter.com/TST___Radio Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesecretteachings WEBSITE (BOOKS, RESUBSCRIBE for early & ad-free show access): http://thesecretteachings.info Paypal: rdgable@yahoo.com CashApp: $rdgable EMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-secret-teachings-with-ryan-gable--5328407/support.

Property management is a crucial aspect of real estate investing, and providing a positive tenant customer experience is key to success. Working with remote workers can streamline operations and improve efficiency in property management.    

This week we celebrate the spirit of the American people! A country's identity is directly tied to its people.  A good way to gauge the characteristics and spirit of a country's people is to look at the country from an outsider's perspective.  That's exactly what Alexis de Tocqueville did when he came to America in 1831.  The French-born aristocrat traveled extensively around our country and in 1835 wrote of his observations and experiences in “Democracy in America.” What can we learn from his observations?  Are his observations still relevant nearly 200 years later?  To help us further understand the importance and relevance of de Tocqueville's writings, we are pleased to welcome Dr. Pete Peterson, Dean of Pepperdine's School of Public Policy, to the chat today.

Andrew Peterson is, as the old saying goes, a “man of many parts.” I first discovered Andrew's music in the late 1990s, when his song “Nothing to Say” first became a favorite – and it still is. I began following his musical career and quickly discovered that he had more on his mind that music. He was building a community of artists in Nashville that were slowly making something great. Musicians such as Ben Shive, Sandra McCracken, Jill Phillips, Andy Gullahorn, Andrew Osenga, and many others started collaborating on each other's projects. Many of them became a part of Andrew's annual “Behold The Lamb of God” tour, which has become an annual Christmas tradition for many of us. An Easter tour, called “Resurrection Letters,” just finished a 15-city run. In fact, I got to see it and hang out with Andrew here in North Carolina near the end of that tour last week. Andrew Peterson's creative energy has other outlets, too. His Wingfeather Saga books have sold more than a million copies, and it's now an animated series. The second season drops this week. He also founded a non-profit organization called The Rabbit Room, with his brother Pete Peterson, a fine writer himself. The Rabbit Room hosts events and concerts and now has a headquarters in Nashville, called Northwind Manor, which has become a gathering place and work space for writers and artists of all kinds. We talk about all of this and a lot more in this conversation I had with Andrew Peterson last week via zoom. Though we covered a lot of territory in this interview, the “breaking news” here, as we say in the world of journalism, is that Season Two of the Wingfeather Saga just dropped from Angel Studios. If you get a chance, check it out. The producer of today's program is Jeff McIntosh. Here at MinistryWatch we get technical, editorial, and database support from Christina Darnell, Kim Roberts, Rod Pitzer, Casey Sudduth, and Stephen duBarry. And in the spirit of Andrew Peterson's Resurrection Letters, let me mention that Easter is not a day, but a season, so let me wish you a happy and joyous Easter season, and – until we meet again with Natasha Cowden on Friday for our weekly news round-up…May God Bless You!
