My guest this episode is writer, scholar, teacher, and astrologer, RONNIE PONTIAC. I've been impressed and informed by Ronnie's esoteric work for awhile now, and finally, we got to have our first conversation. And it's a profound one...We talk about the need for a spiritual path in our moment, and how the alternative is... well, quite grim. We talk about how spirituality can lead us into a path of hatred and personal gain. We talk about my suspicion about astrology, how I think it works, how I think it does't work, why so much of it is wrong (and why Ronnie is so often right!). And there's so much more on this episode (Including my extended intro on the esoteric aim of being a Friend To Humanity.)Ronnie was a key figure at the Philosophical Research Society founded in 1934 by Manly Palmer Hall. The PRS is still around, and promotes, teaches, and offers research opportunities into the esoteric & philosophical of all societies; with the values of freedom, community, objective study, and inclusiveness at its core. He's the author most recently of American Metaphysical Religion: Esoteric and Mystical Traditions of the New World. His forthcoming book, which can preorder now, is The Rosicrucian Counterculture: The Origins and Influence of the Invisible Society.

Matt Marble is an artist, author, audio producer and director of the American Museum of Paramusicology. Both creatively and through historical research, his work explores the inspired intersections of art and metaphysics and the intuitive disciplines they mutually employ. Matt is the author of Buddhist Bubblegum: Esotericism in the Creative Process of Arthur Russell, and the producer/host of Secret Sound, a podcast exploring the metaphysical biopics of American musicians, and The Hidden Present, an audio interview series exploring intuitive discipline and spiritual imagination. Additional works have been featured by the California Festival, Warp Records, and the Philosophical Research Society. His writing, research, media production, and personal archive constitute the American Museum of Paramusicology (AMP), through which he also publishes the monthly AMP Journal.The term “paramusicology” was first coined in 1993 by author Melvyn Willin to address psychic and pagan histories of music. Musicology being the study of music, paramusicology is the study of paranormal music experience. Though the term has struggled to find solid footing, the paranormal generally refers us to that which is "beyond" or “outside” the normal—to experiences or phenomena which cannot be explained by scientific reasoning, objective perception, or causal agency. This points our awareness to what may be called the numinous* in human experience. Due to its abstract nature, to even convey the numinous requires active imagination and symbolic communication. The AMP explores how the numinous informs human listening. And it unpacks the esoteric philosophies and intuitive disciplines which facilitate and draw from our spiritual and auditory imagination.In this discussion, Matt shares a bit about his background, as well as his inspiration for creating his platform. He talks about his visual art project known as Wondering Stars, a mixture of music and physical visual works, and how this came out of his dreamwork.He also talks about his podcast, The Secret Sound, and his 7-part series called The Hidden Present, and we even go into a short discussion about musical modes (as used in Western music  - (*thanks to my brother Dan for making that distinction) and their ‘moods', as well as how these can be useful tools for creativity.We then move to talk about the AMP Journal, and focus on Issue 16 from last August called “Spirit Invocations.” In this issues, Matt wrote about the film Longlegs and how sound (not ‘song', as I misspoke in the introduction) is key to this film, including the role of folk music and rock and roll and the esoteric aspects of these, along with how Marc Bolan served as inspiration and perhaps as blueprint of sorts for the main character. He also discusses the concept of the Fohat ( taken from the Theosophical Society) and how this may have inspired the ideas behind the metal balls that Longlegs placed inside the doll heads in the film.PROGRAM NOTEShttps://www.mattmarble.net/matt-marble (all links at the top of the page)https://www.mattmarble.net/buddhist-bubblegumhttps://www.mattmarble.net/amp-longlegshttps://mattmarble.bandcamp.com/https://www.youtube.com/@AmericanMuseumofParamusicologyhttps://www.instagram.com/americanmuseumofparamusicology/Full episode can be found at https://www.patreon.com/RejectedReligion, or purchased for a one-time fee. Music and Editing: Daniel P.

Michelle Tea has published over 20 books, including the cult classic Valencia as well asModern Tarot and the essay collection Against Memoir. Her latest book, Modern Magic: Stories, Rituals, and Spells for Contemporary Witches was released in the fall of 2024 — not too long before our interview was recorded. A lot has changed since then. The calendar year and the world itself. I loved Modern Magic from the opening paragraph. Months later the book feels like an instruction manual for survival. There's a lot more I could say about Michelle — and I say some of it in the print interview.

Martin Lewis is a multi-faceted player in the spheres of the arts and entertainment. With a fabled five-decade history working in music, comedy, film, stage, TV, radio & books. He has been a cultural alchemist with many of the leading musicians and comedic artists of the last half-century. Bruce Vilanch is iconic for, among other things, the best jokes at the Academy Awards. He has been writing for the star-studded event for over 25 years, and has been the head writer since 2000. Bruce is much more ingrained into our culture than a single award show, however-- he. has written jokes for Bette Midler, Elizabeth Taylor, Lily Tomlin, and even..The Brady Bunch.   They each have been world-changing "influencers" decades before the concept of "influencers" was even a thing. Today they join us to talk about yet another cultural force, artist manager, Brian Epstein. It has been said of Epstein: "If there had been no Epstein, there would be no Beatles."  Brian Epstein is the man responsible for taking the Beatles from unknowns to worldwide phenomena in just under 50 days. Martin led a 15-year campaign to induct Epstein into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Friday, August 23rd marks the exact 60th anniversary of the Beatles' landmark first appearance in Los Angeles in 1964. Their L.A. debut was a sold-out concert at the Hollywood Bowl. Celebrating that historic occasion Martin  - considered one of the world's foremost Beatles scholars - will be debuting a special ‘TED-Talk' style illustrated presentation in L.A. - titled "The Greatest Beatles Story NEVER Told! The Untold Tale Of How The Beatles Beguiled America" The event will take place on the exact same date and time as the Beatles Hollywood Bowl concert in 1964 - at the historic building of the Philosophical Research Society in Los Feliz.

Recorded live at The Philosophical Research Society on Friday, June 14th 2024. Why are so many cinematic depictions of aliens seemingly aligned with the way we understand this arcane phenomenon to work? Are filmmakers secretly fed information from operators within the government? Are they unconsciously channeling from some unknown, extraterrestrial source? Or do NHI's imitate forms culled from our culture so as to appear familiar? These questions will be examined by a panel of thought leaders and filmmakers whose interests intersect around the phenomenon.

Hello, welcome back to Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions.  On Saturday, April 20th, Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions returned to the esoteric grounds of the Philosophical Research Society in Los Angeles for a living taping with guest host Will Sheff (Okkervil River) in conversation author Sean Howe, discussing Agents of Chaos: Thomas King Forçade, High Times, and the Paranoid End of the 1970s, book on High Times founder, provocateur, and trickster Thomas King Forçade as part of PRS' Earth Day celebration Plantstock. I am such a big fan of PRS, where we recorded a live talk with Matt Marble on the esoteric influences of Arthur Russell last fall. It's a place that invites inquiry, rewards curiosity, and enjoys the beauty of the unknown.  Which makes it a perfect setting for this talk. Howe's Agents of Chaos is a time machine that transports the reader directly to the chaotic, funky-smelling center of the paranoid 1970s. The result of almost a decade of sleuthing, Howe's fascinating book details the true story of Thomas King Forçade, mysterious founder of High Times Magazine, cannabis kingpin, el supremo of the Underground Press Syndicate, Yippie agitator, known drug smuggler, and possible CIA spook.

This week on Transmissions: Camae Ayewa, better known as Moor Mother. As one-half of the Black Quantum Futurism collective, a creative project she founded with Rasheedah Philips, Ayewa has focused her considerable energies on “the manipulation of space-time in order to see into possible futures, and/or collapse space-time into a desired future in order to bring about that future's reality.” As the front-person of the incendiary jazz punk group Irreversible Entanglements, she's let it rip on a series of albums released by International Anthem & Don Giovanni Records. Last year's Protect Your Light found the band moving to the legendary Impulse! Records.   Along the way, she's released records under the Moor Mother banner, like 2021's Black Encyclopedia of the Air and 2022's Jazz Codes. Her latest is The Great Bailout, a record that functions at times like a sonic horror movie, while also possessing tremendous passages of beauty. Joined by guests like Lonnie Holley, Kyle Kidd, and Sistazz of the Nitty Gritty—past Transmissions guest Angel Bat Dawid delivers an absolutely breathtaking clarinet solo out ‘South Sea”—the album finds Moor Mother transmuting jazz, noise, rock, folk, gospel, classical music—melting down genres in a poetic churn. Moor Mother plays history and time like a science fiction story, bending temporal moments in a psychedelic flurry. This conversation flows in similar way. Join us to jump through timelines, ponder the Mandela Effect, and untangle histories with Moor Mother on Transmissions.

This week on Transmissions, author, producer, archivist, and musician Pat Thomas. In the late '80s, he helped take the Paisley Underground overground with his label Heyday Records. Later, he helped bring out reissues by artists like Judee Sill, Sandy Bull, PiL, and more. And as if all that wasn't enough, he's the author of a number of essential counterculture histories, including 2012's Listen, Whitey! The Sights & Sounds of Black Power 1965–1975, 2017's Did It! Jerry Rubin: An American Revolutionary, and most recently, 2023's Material Wealth: Mining the Personal Archive of Allen Ginsberg. As you'll hear at the top of this episode, he was also the first guest we ever asked to be on Transmissions, only host Jason P. Woodbury hadn't quite got the hang of properly recording interviews. While that ill-fated talk was lost to time, this one isn't. Tune in for more on Ginsberg, the forthcoming Judee Sill documentary Lost Angel, and much more on this all new episode of Transmissions.

This week on Black Hoodie Alchemy, I'm joined by the wonderful and well-studied Hermeticist, Ashley Ryan AKA Pythian Priestess of tiktok (witchtok to be specific) and her investigative occult podcast, The Occult Unveiled, which you can find on all platforms. While tiktok is not usually on this podcast's radar, it's worth noting a bit since our guest has nearly half a million followers, and she is a refreshing example of a genuine person, putting out authentic content on tiktok (among other places), and it goes to show that you should never judge a book by its social media platform!⁠ As for more serious matters, Ashley is an intriguing esoteric student, living in Los Angeles, doing consistent volunteer work at Manly P. Halls' Philosophical Research Society and working with a disciplined unnamed Hermetic Order in LA -- all with her tiktok virality and her detailed podcast on top. Of particular note from her own show -- and a topic I bring up in our discussion here -- she's interviewed Manly P. Hall's last living personal student, Ronnie Pontiac, a name I hope to get in contact with in the future. Coming from the LA punk rock scene as a teenager, Ronnie's story about his time with Hall is touching, informative, and we just barely scratch the surface of the entire story. So along with the life and times of the esoteric philosopher Manly P. Hall, we discuss some of Ashley's personal esoteric story, hermeticism in the modern day, the dangers of New Age cults, navigating the vapidness of the social media grind for positive reasons, magical philosophy, and of course we get into some Jung and shadow work!

Welcome back to Transmissions. We're still buzzing from this last weekend, which saw a live taping of Transmissions at The Philosophical Research Society, the Los Angeles campus founded in 1934 by esoteric scholar Manly Palmer Hall, featuring Jason P. Woodbury's talk with Matt Marble, an artist, author, audio producer and director of the American Museum of Paramusicology, best known for his podcasts, including Secret Sound, an exploration of the metaphysical history of American music, and the interview show The Hidden Present. He's the author of Buddhist Bubblegum: Esotericism in the Creative Process of Arthur Russell, and that's what we gathered at PRS to discuss. Hall founded PRS with a dedication “to the ensoulment of all arts, sciences, and crafts,” and we hope you find this talk as ensouling as we did.  Special thanks to our friends and PRS, especially Alex McDonald and AV director Sara Alessandrini, who you'll hear us refer to throughout the episode, for their help making this happen. And we want to thank Steve Knutson of Audika Records for getting the word out, and of course a warm thanks to everyone who turned up for the show, both in person and via Zoom, to be a part of this special presentation.   Transmissions is a part of the Talkhouse Podcast Network. Visit the Talkhouse for more interviews, fascinating reads, and podcasts. Next week on the show, Maria Elena Silva on her remarkable new album, Dulce. For heads, by heads.

How can you turn a seemingly hopeless situation into a gift? It is possible, according to today's guest Yuan Miao who shares her story of tragedy to triumph by realizing the profound importance of joy. Yuan Miao is a spiritual teacher, gifted in the art of Mudra and Mantra. As a child, Yuan was thought to be mute, but under the guidance of her grandmother, a Tibetan Spiritual Master, she learned the power of mantric voice. Yuan is joined by her translator, Peter Shiao, and Obadiah Harris, President of the Philosophical Research Society.   Peter Shiao is the producer of “Phoenix Rising,” a journey into vibration, music, and mantra, in which Yuan shares her magical, healing voice. Peter is a media entrepreneur and film producer. He is currently the founder and CEO of Orb Media Group, which is focused on producing, financing, and marketing films and online games with transformational themes that unite the international and Chinese markets. Peter also chairs the annual US-China Film Summit since 2010.  Obadiah Harris, an expert in Eastern and Western esoteric cultures and religions, relates the myth of the phoenix rising from the flame and compares it to Yuan's life after she lost her daughter to leukemia, battled with suicidal thoughts, and rose up to triumphantly share her gifts of sound and mantra with the world.

This week on Transmissions, we welcome returning guest Cécile Schott, aka Colleen. Her latest album, Le Jour Et La Nuit Du Réel—the day and night of reality—was tracked using a minimalistic setup, a Moog Grandmother and two delays: a Roland RE-201 Space Echo and a Moogerfooger Analog Delay. But for Schott, this assemblage allows for near infinite synthesis, and a genuine multitude of expression. As the world gets stranger and more difficult to understand, the record wordlessly questions what is real—and the times of day and night when the line between real and imaginary blurs. LIVE TRANSMISSIONS: On September 30th, we're hosting a live taping of Transmissions at Manly P. Hall's Philosophical Research Society with Matt Marble, discussing his fantastic book about Arthur Russell, Buddhist Bubblegum. Get more info and tickets here.

  Wisdom is a universal language. Insightful parables are found throughout various cultures in history which offer wisdom about how to live a fuller life, being in harmony with nature, and abiding by universal energies and principles. Gods and Goddesses throughout literature emulate many of these qualities. These stories are based on ancient texts, with an esoteric approach, rather than literal, explains our guest today, Obadiah Harris, Ph.D. (now deceased). Dr. Harris was the President of the Philosophical Research Society, founded by Manly P. Hall, and had combined his skills as a community educator and administrator with the study of the world's wisdom traditions. He explains how these stories and traditions ask us to see the inner meaning. He explains how esotericism is an attempt to release the individual from a literal hold. Esoteric movements today are moving away from literalism. People are searching for answers and looking for what works. If we look within, we can explore and find our own truth.   Dr. Harris received his Ph.D. in Education from the University of Michigan as a Stewart Mott Foundation Fellow. His work in community education includes service as Associate Professor and Director of the Center for Community Education at New Mexico State University, and as Associate Professor and Director of the Regional Center for Community Education at Arizona State University. Dr. Harris's study and practice of the great Eastern and Western traditions has helped shape and direct his life. Info: www.prs.org.

From the way that even the most perfect plans seem to go awry when you're dealing with variables you can't control in real life to acknowledging that these films seem to thrive thanks to the magical alchemy of outstanding ensembles, original screenplays, & visionary directors, fans of heist movies will cherish our return to the scenes of their favorite cinematic crimes.

The existence of a secret society known as the Illuminati remains one of the most enduring conspiracy theories of modern times, however it has it's very real foundation and history - the group itself was real.  The Order of the Illuminati was a secret group founded in Bavaria in 1776 by Adam Weishaupt, who believed “the monarchy and the church were repressing freedom of thought”, Weishaupt “decided to find another form of ‘illumination', a set of ideas and practices that could be applied to radically change the way European states were run. He based his society on the Freemasons, with a hierarchy and mysterious rituals, and named it the Order of Illuminati to reflect the enlightened ideals of its educated members.Dr. Obadiah Harris (1930 - 2019) had spent decades devoting himself to the wisdom traditions of the world.  His career spanned decades and included serving as a minister, a counselor, teacher, professor at New Mexico State University and Arizona State University, public speaker and author of several books. Beginning in 1991 he served as President of the Philosophical Research Society. He also was able to digitize the Manly Hall Library which makes it available to the world. During this process he was able to protect and repair several ancient texts. He retired in 2017 and was granted the title of President Emeritus by the Board of Directors of the Philosophical Research Society and UPR.

Please welcome my very first guest in this new year, interviewer, producer, author and musician, Tamra Lucid as we'll be having a wonderful time talking about her book ‘Making the Ordinary Extraordinary - My Seven Years in Occult Los Angeles with Manly Palmer Hall' which has just been published with Inner Traditions. This book is a rarely found gem that starts out with the touching account of how Tamra and her later husband Ronnie Pontiac met at an underground club in the 80s back in L.A. and how he - despite of not exactly looking like a prince on a white horse - literally saved her from a pretty dangerous situation. They moved in together two weeks later and soon discovered Manly P. Hall's opus magnum, ‘The Secret Teachings of All Ages'. Both were simply amazed by the writings and when they found out that ‘Mr. Hall' as Tamra prefers to call him to this day they decided to attend his lectures with the Philosophical Research Society. "PRS had lovely staff-and-friends Xmas parties. Everyone looked forward to seeing Mr. Hall saunter in with a warm smile on his face, greeting everyone, causing us all to grin like idiots. The feeling was more family than any family event I'd ever attended. Cards and gifts were exchanged. I remember one year Roger Weir gave MPH a huge tome about Alexandria I was so eager to peruse, but I never got to because MPH had it in the shelf behind his desk, and I didn't want to bother him. In this pic MPH is eyeing the cookies wrapped in red and green cellophane. Wasn't Marie beautiful? She was over 80 then. Notice my festive holiday fashion sense: black. Capricorn much? Hovering behind me protectively is Ronnie Pontiac" * Tamra tells how she and Ronnie became involved with Manly P. Hall and his wife Marie on an intimate level so that Mr. Hall hired her and chose Ronnie as a proof reader for his alchemical bibliography. They both became close friends with the Halls and because of that their lives changed completely which Tamra explains in detail. In our conversation, we talk about psychological issues, alchemical transmutations, how the newly created genre of Riot Grrrl Music came into play with all that and how Tamra combined all this with metaphysics by means of a healing process. We go into great depths on Mr. Hall's personality, his ideal to be of service and his vision of a truly happy, resilient and spiritual society and what might be needed in order to establish it. Tamra will also talk about the break up with the Halls which was and still is a tragic and sad one and had far reaching implications on both sides. However, we proceed with some less difficult issues when we discuss the meaning of Hall's teachings for today's society and today's students of the Western Esoteric Traditions. My guest will finally explain her personal daily practice which is something she hasn't done in her writings yet and also give some glimpses on future book projects with Inner Traditions that she or Ronnie are parts of. "The ceremony took place in the Hall's backyard. They picked the time and date. Look! It's Ronnie with short hair! In a suit! He still looks like an anime villain though. If you want to know who the handsome maid-of-honor on my left is you'll have to read my book. Let's just say that the maid-of-honor and the best man were a lovely couple. The best man wrote Spiritualist books and the maid-of-honor was a past life regression therapist who made the most heavenly apricot jam" * * The texts under the images are by Tamra Lucid herself, from her facebook page Music played in this episode The three tracks are performed by LUCID NATION, Tamra's own band which she also talks about in the interview.

She will share her experiences working at The Philosophical Research Society and being a friend of Manly P. Hall. It's a touching but humor-filled journey into the heart of one of the greatest esotericists of our time – and a case study on the light and shadow sides of Occultism.GET MY NEW EBOOK, 10 SNACKABLE MEDITATIONS: https://thegodabovegod.com/10-snackable-meditations-2/This is a partial show.

Today we reimagine the future of humankind in the most exquisitely loving and joyful way.    We are honored to welcome Lani Trock, a brilliant force in thought, devotion, vision and creativity to SOUNDFOOD.  A multi-disciplinary artist based in Los Angeles, Lani works with the ephemeral to facilitate planetary evolution, from seed to spirit. We explore her vision for a future post-capitalist society that is founded on collaboration, kindness, abundance, unity consciousness, and harmony; and which utilizes  an ecological worldview, artistic freedom,  blockchain technology and decentralized protocols to reflect the truth of what we are: an interconnected, symbiotic organism, in which each of us equally essential to the collective whole.    Lani discusses the intention behind her current solo exhibition and so we blossom gently into the infinite garden which is on view at the Philosophical Research Society  through December 3rd.

The lecture breaks down the purpose of the Egyptian Mystery Schools and other Mystery Schools of antiquity.. He also discusses the meaning of initiation, and other lost knowledge relating to the pyramids.. Listen in and learn with us!www.prs.orgManly P. Hall Bio:Manly P. Hall (1901-1990) founded the Philosophical Research Society in 1934, a non-profit organization dedicated to the dissemination of useful knowledge in the fields of philosophy, comparative religion and psychology. In his long career, spanning more than 70 years of dynamic public activity, Mr. Hall delivered over 8000 lectures in the United States and abroad, authored over 150 books and essays, and wrote countless magazine articles.Many of Mr. Hall's lectures have been transcribed and are available as pamphlets; others were taped live, and the audio recordings are available on CD's as well. He is perhaps best known for his 1928 classic, "The Secret Teachings of All Ages," an encyclopedia of the world's wisdom traditions and symbolic disciplines.Today, younger generations are re-discovering the works and words of Manly Hall, finding that the material he put forth so many years ago is still relevant and useful today.

Rare audio lecture from December 11, 1983, entitled: "Is There A Guardian Angel?" Mr. Hall was 82 years old at the time and lived another 7 years, lecturing and writing at the Philosophical Research Society, which he founded in 1934.One of The greatest orators that the world will ever have the privilege of knowing.thefacthunter.com

Here Manly P Hall interprets the different accounts of Atlantas and discusses both sides of the argument and then gives a symbolic interpretation of that myth. Plato's account of Atlantis in his Critias and Timaeus is interpreted. A diagram of the Orphic Key to the Atlantic Fable is included, as well as a bibliography. The most famous of all accounts describing the condition of Atlantis and the causes for its destruction are to be found in the Critias and Timaeus of Plato. Most modern books dealing with the problem of Atlantis are built upon Plato s description. The integrity and learning of this great philosopher cannot easily be assailed. Had it not been for the weight of Plato s authority, the whole subject would have been discredited by modern archeologists. There is, however, in fairness to both sides of the controversy, a certain weakness in Plato's story. The thoughtful reader is impressed immediately by the allegorical and symbolical parts of the account. While these do not detract from the possibility that an Atlantic continent actually existed, they do present the necessary elements for an alternative interpretation. The anti-Atlantists contend that in the Critias Plato takes a flight into fiction, in the words of Plutarch, "manuring the little seed of the Atlantis myth which Solon had discovered in the Egyptian temples." Manly P. Hall (1901-1990) was a seeker and lover of wisdom (the very definition of a philosopher) he had the courage and raw energy to look for wisdom in places most men had long since forgotten or never knew existed. As the Philosophical Research Society's founder and first president, he began his career in an era when most Americans did not look toward other cultures and traditions without looking down. And yet, Manly P. Hall spoke and wrote extensively on the wisdom found in all ancient traditions, and the deep cross-cultural threads and many interconnected roots of modern religious expression. While neither guru nor saint (he made no claim of perfection, far from it), his work is exceedingly rare in its grand scope, detail and synthesis. He embraced the wisdom of every tradition and, with a fluid command of the obscure and complex contents of these traditions, worked to express their unifying truths. In his long career, spanning more than seventy years of dynamic public activity, Mr. Hall delivered over 8000 lectures in the United States and abroad, authored over 200 books, essays, and magazine articles, and left the world one of the finest libraries in the field, as well as a University that continues in his spirit of universal learning. Alternate Universe Reality Activation  get full access to new meditations, new lectures, recordings from the reality con and the 90 day AURA meditation schedulehttps://realityrevolutionlive.com/aura45338118 Listen my book on audible https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Reality-Revolution-Audiobook/B087LV1R5V BUY MY BOOK! https://www.amazon.com/Reality-Revolution-Mind-Blowing-Movement-Hack/dp/154450618X/ Music By Mettaversesolsticerebirthinner worlds639hz heart chakrajourney through the multiversetibetan singing bowlsnocturnetravel lightgolden lotuswhen all else fades  ➤ Listen on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2KjGlLI ➤ Follow them on Instagram: http://bit.ly/2JW8BU2➤ Join them on Facebook: http://bit.ly/2G1j7G➤ Subscribe to their channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyvjffON2NoUvX5q_TgvVkw  All My Manly P Hall Videos in One Playlist - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKv1KCSKwOo9XRvgyMncsaHQV3sNtdul2  All My Neville Goddard Videos In One Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKv1KCSKwOo8kBZsJpp3xvkRwhbXuhg0M Sleep Meditations - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKv1KCSKwOo_5Sv8NSXuDWudAVmoDns6Z Guided Meditations https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKv1KCSKwOo_BfNnb5vLcwouInskcEhqL All my videos about Dr. Joseph Murphy - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKv1KCSKwOo_OtBhXg2s85UuZBT-OihF_ For all episodes of the Reality Revolution – https://www.therealityrevolution.com Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/The-Reality-Revolution-Podcast-Hosted-By-Brian-Scott-102555575116999 Join our facebook group The Reality Revolution https://www.facebook.com/groups/523814491927119 Subscribe to my Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOgXHr5S3oF0qetPfqxJfSw Contact us at media@advancedsuccessinsitute.com#manlyphall #sacredwritings #totalhumanoptimization

Mitch Horowitz is a historian of alternative spirituality and one of today's most literate voices of esoterica, mysticism, and the occult. He is among the few occult writers whose work touches the bases of academic scholarship, national journalism, and subculture cred. Mitch is a writer-in-residence at the New York Public Library, lecturer-in-residence at the Philosophical Research Society in Los Angeles, and a PEN Award-winning historian whose books include Occult America; One Simple Idea: How Positive Thinking Reshaped Modern Life; and The Miracle Club. The Washington Post says Mitch “treats esoteric ideas and movements with an even-handed intellectual studiousness that is too often lost in today's raised-voice discussions.” He has discussed alternative spirituality across the national media and is collaborating with Emmy-nominated director Ronni Thomas on a feature documentary about the occult classic The Kybalion, shot on location in Egypt. Mitch received the Walden Award for Interfaith/Intercultural Understanding. The Chinese government has censored his work.

At first glance this seems to be spelled incorrectly but it is the name of the book as written by Manly P Hall. There are multiple spellings for it. Cabala, Kabbalah, Qabala, Qabbalah. Manly P. Hall was the founder of the Philosophical Research Society. In over seventy-five years of dynamic public activity, he delivered more than 8,000 lectures in the United States and abroad, and authored countless books, essays, and articles. In his lectures and writings, Manly Hall always emphasized the practical aspects of philosophy and religion as they applied to daily living. He restated for modern man those spiritual and ethical doctrines which have given humanity its noblest ideals and most adequate codes of conduct. Believing that philosophy is a working tool to help the individual in building a solid foundation for his dreams and purposes, Manly Hall steadfastly sought recognition of the belief that world civilization can be perfected only when human beings meet on a common ground of intelligence, cooperation, and worthy purpose. If Kabballah and Qabbalah are different I am not sure. I do not know a lot about this subject so I turned to Manly P Hall to help me to understand. Music By Mettaverse deep relaxationa universal languagea journey inwardmental spiritual reboot   ➤ Listen on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2KjGlLI ➤ Follow them on Instagram: http://bit.ly/2JW8BU2 ➤ Join them on Facebook: http://bit.ly/2G1j7G6 ➤ Subscribe to their channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyvjffON2NoUvX5q_TgvVkw All My Neville Goddard Videos In One Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKv1KCSKwOo8kBZsJpp3xvkRwhbXuhg0M For coaching – https://www.advancedsuccessinstitute.com For all episodes of the Reality Revolution – https://www.therealityrevolution.com Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/RealityRevolutionPodcast/ Join our facebook group The Reality Revolution https://www.facebook.com/groups/403122083826082/ Subscribe to my Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOgXHr5S3oF0qetPfqxJfSw Contact us at media@advancedsuccessinsitute.com #lawofattraction #manlyphall #sacredwritings #totalhumanoptimization

Stephan Schwartz – How To Change History – BEFORE It HappensAired Tuesday, November 26, 2019 at 2:00 PM PST / 5:00 PM ESTInterview with Stephan Schwartz — Futurist, Researcher, and Author of “The 8 Laws of Change: How to Be an Agent of Personal and Social Transformation”“There’s no need to change the world. There is a better way. I say let’s toilet change the world and we’ll never have to change it again.” — Swami BeyondanandaWhen sane and reverent people look at our current political, ecological “shituation”, it is understandable if they ask, “Is this the hand of God at work – or just the Middle Finger”?Our guest on Wiki Politiki this week, Stephan A. Schwartz – who has spent a lifetime delving into physical and metaphysical reality – offers a deep perspective on the challenges we face individually, collectively and indeed as a species as we address the key questions for transformation: What’s so? So what? Now what?Stephan A. Schwartz is an award-winning author of fiction and non-fiction, a columnist for the journal Explore, and editor of the daily web publication Schwartzreport.net – where he covers trends that are affecting the future. He is a Distinguished Consulting Faculty of Saybrook University, and a BIAL fellow. His other academic and research appointments include: Senior Samueli Fellow for Brain, Mind and Healing of the Samueli Institute; founder and Research; Director of the Mobius laboratory; Director of Research of the Rhine Research Center; and Senior Fellow of The Philosophical Research Society. (And I can add from meeting him in person, he is a Jolly Good Fellow as well.) He has also worked with the US Navy as Special Assistant for Research and Analysis to the Chief of Naval Operations, and consultant to the Oceanographer of the Navy.For 40 years he has been studying the nature of consciousness, particularly that aspect independent of space and time. Schwartz is part of the small group that founded modern Remote Viewing research, and is the principal researcher studying the use of Remote Viewing in archaeology.His current work is exemplified by his daily Schwartz Report. He writes:When I began Schwartz report my purpose was to produce an entirely fact-based daily publication in favor of the earth, the inter-connectedness and interdependence of all life, democracy, equality for all, liberty and things that are life affirming. Also, to warn my readers about actions, events, and trends which threaten those values. Our country now stands at a crossroads, indeed, the world stands at a crossroads where those values are very much at risk and it is up to each of us who care about wellbeing to do what we can to defend those principles.Join us for an eye-opening, mind-expanding, heartful conversation that takes us beyond the “deep state” to a deeper state of awareness, and offers a simple and practical pathway for changing the future through our actions now. Along the way we will discuss the surprising secret behind Gandhi’s campaign for Indian independence, a first-hand view of Martin Luther King’s “I Have A Dream” speech, and adventures in the world of remote viewing. (No, that’s not how psychics find their remote when it is buried in the couch pillows.)Seriously and humorously, this conversation will guide us beyond “baked-in” beliefs toward the “life-affirming integrity” that will help us evolve from children of God to adults of good – and get us through our awkward “addled-essence” phase.Listen in this Tuesday, November 26th at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET. http://omtimes.com/iom/shows/wiki-politiki-radio-show/To find out more about Stephan Schwartz and the Schwartz Report, please go here: https://www.schwartzreport.net/And now that we ARE back with new shows (and planning a Zoom video element after the first of the year), we invite you to help support Wiki Politiki and our mission to bring about “the great upwising” and functional politics!

Websites: www.stephanaschwartz.com www.schwartzreport.net www.explorejournal.com/contents/schwartz The Alexandria Project: The Alexandria Projectis the true story of how researchers from five universities and organizations went to Egypt to put the claims of a psychic ability known as Remote Viewing to the ultimate test. Was it possible, under rigorously controlled conditions, for some part of the human mind to locate and describe ancient sites known to exist, but now lost to history? How good was Remote Viewing when compared with electronic remote sensing technologies traditionally used by archaeologists? This book, and the research papers and film that accompany it, provides the surprising answers.

In this lecture at the Philosophical Research Society of Los Angeles, Dennis William Hauck presents an archetypal journey through the metals and the powerful energies they symbolize. The focus is on transmuting each of the seven metals on a planetary spiral of perfection. This is how the great spiritual alchemists of the Renaissance worked in their efforts to "return to the stars."

Ross and Carrie stop by the local Philosophical Research Society for a quick group (sound) bath, and an introductory lecture on sound as medicine going back to the days of Atlantis. Take three deep breaths, and have a listen!

Episode 31- How can the planets actually affect our lives? Is magic real? We got the answers to these questions and more in a most enchanted chat with Witch of the Dawn, Maja D'Aoust. Maja is an esoteric superstar, oracle, lecturer at the Philosophical Research Society, seasoned astrologer, intuitive counselor and actual magic maker. We pick her brain on the real-like working of astrological theology and have her explain how magic can be real, and what it looks like to live a life outside of the tiny box that is most people's reality. This episode will give you some insane insights into esoteric secrets that have been historically kept deeply hidden.

Stephan Schwartz is a catalyzer for transformative thinking, directing focused, intentional awareness to change individual and collective consciousness through one empowering, productive and proactive action: Meditation.Empower yourself. Transformitive.
