In this episode, I talk with Paris Abbas, a theosophist and yoga teacher who's work has had a big impact on me over the past couple of years. Paris shares her insights on the current global landscape, particularly concerning Palestine, and the often-disappointing silence from within the wellness and spiritual communities. She discusses her personal journey of finding her voice, navigating online negativity, and the importance of spiritual practices in grounding activism. We delve into the performative nature of some Western spiritual circles, the collective "soul test" we are facing, and the necessity of reclaiming our full emotional spectrum. Paris offers a powerful reframing of motherhood as an archetypal force for change and encourages us to reimagine a future rooted in collective care, awareness, and the dismantling of oppressive systems.Key Takeaways:The current global crises, particularly the situation in Palestine, serve as a significant "soul test" for humanity, urging us to move beyond superficial spirituality and engage with difficult truths.True spiritual practice should anchor us in taking action and speaking out against injustice, rather than being a means to bypass suffering or focus solely on personal happiness.Authentic communication, rooted in soul-level truth, is a powerful tool for connection and change, even in the face of online negativity and censorship.There is a collective need to move from a "maiden phase" of development, characterized by passivity, to a "mother" archetype, embodying fierce protection, compassion, and responsibility for all.Reimagining a positive future involves cultivating awareness, challenging the scarcity mindset, fostering community care, and recognising that we have the collective power to create a world where everyone has dignity and basic human rights.Episode Highlights:00:03:16: Paris reflects on the impact of her earlier conversation on "Beyond Colonial Spirituality" and how she has "toughened up" over the past year.00:14:00: A critique of how spirituality in the West can often be about cherry-picking practices for personal happiness, bypassing the world's suffering.00:19:00: Paris explains her powerful concept of this era being a "soul test" for humanity.00:30:00: Discussion on the silence within wellness spaces and the idea that "one day when it's safe, everyone will have always been against this."00:47:00: Paris introduces the idea of the collective silence, especially from women and mothers, as being indicative of a "maiden phase" of development.About the Guest:Paris (Pyarvin) Abbas has been a yoga-teacher/ practitioner for over 20 years and a lifelong Theosophist. She was born and raised in Siberia, Russia, where she went to medical school to become a psychiatrist. She is a child of the world, eternal student of the Ancient Wisdom, devotee of the Great Mother and a mom of two amazing boys.She continues to learn and teach yoga, practices spiritual healing in Therapeutic Touch modality and learns how to grow lush gardens in the rough climate of South Texas.Instagram: @‌ParisAbbas108Fundraiser for a family in Gaza: Check the link in Paris's Instagram bio.Episode links:Leah Kim's podcast Voices on the Side: Episode "Beyond Colonial Spirituality"Re

In this episode, we dive deep into the esoteric teachings of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, co-founder of the Theosophical Society and one of the most influential occult thinkers of the nineteenth century. Focusing on her mature doctrine of reincarnation as outlined in The Secret Doctrine (1888), we explore how Blavatsky moved away from earlier notions of metempsychosis to formulate a complex cosmology in which the soul—or monad—undergoes countless rebirths across vast spans of cosmic time.Drawing on Theosophical anthropology, planetary evolution, and the doctrine of karma, this episode unpacks Blavatsky's concept of the saptaparna, the sevenfold human constitution, and the soul's gradual progression through root races, planetary rounds, and astral realms. We examine how Blavatsky's vision was both impersonal and democratic, placing individual suffering within a broader metaphysical narrative of spiritual evolution and cosmic justice.CONNECT & SUPPORT

This week, the guys welcome renowned Hollywood makeup artist Pati Dubroff to the show. They dive into superstitions about the dead, Pati's pilgrimage to India, and unforgettable orb sightings. Pati also shares how she became the "keeper" of the original dome at the Theosophists' Krotona Institute and later a preservationist for the property, along with insights into her magical practice and supernatural encounters.

The evolution of Consciousness is the "raison d'être" for Mankind's arduous journey through the maya of physicality.  Just as the Overseers have imbued this Realm with the precise attributes to incubate developing humanity, great luminaries embody at pivotal times to fan the flames of awareness. The ineradicable imprint left on the Ethers by the Nazarene forged a path for future luminaries who would stay the course for the larger body of Man.  Secret societies were necessary in the darkest of times to safeguard sacred truths that could only be made available when enough of humanity approached the reintegration of Spirit and matter. The Rosecrucians were one such order whose lineage included the Compte de St. Germain that laid the foundations for the Theosphical Society and the eventual Anthroposophical teachings of Rudolph Steiner. Steiner's Anthroposophic movement broke the seal of secrecy, as he admonished Madame Blavatsky and the Theosophists that Man was once again prepared to embrace his prime directive. Steiner Anthroposophy has enjoyed a resurgence of interest in recent decades, and many are now familiar with the Rudolph Steiner Press audio series.  Each episode presentment is a select reading from the eclectic and immense body of Steiner's work brilliantly articulated from what has now become the "voice" of Rudolph Steiner. On this Alfacast, Dale Brunsvold, "the voice" joins us for an in-depth discussion on the insights and prophetic writings of Steiner, and his many contributions to medicine and agriculture.  Dale developed a personal interest in Steiner after years of listening to many recordings, and in February of 2005 was granted permission from the Rudolf Steiner Press in England to record and post the lectures on line. We know the many Steiner students within the Alfa Vedic Community will eagerly anticipate this episode, while those new to Steiner will be in for a grand treat!

Sub to the PPM Patreon to access the entire 3 hour runtime of CULT OF CAGE PT. II: ⁠patreon.com/ParaPowerMapping⁠ (Full notes viewable via the link) An impromptu Halloween session w/ Orion St. Peter gave birth to this Nicolas Cage dbl feature—in which we discuss occult, cultic, & PTK themes in the loosely defined horror films "Longlegs" & "Mandy", tentpoles of the late Cage capitalism debt-induced “renaissance”. We dig deep into the interplay between the "Longlegs" narrative and director Oz Perkins's personal esoteric & intergenerational familial trauma history, sussing out the sources of inspiration in his own highly strange, quasi-aristocratic pedigree. For ex, his great-grandpa "Count" Wilhelm de Wendt de Kerlor, a psychic detective cum spy in the mold of PPM usual suspects Aleister Crowley or Erik Jan Hanussen who was a member of the Theosophical Society, an avid spiritualist, and supposedly the medium who prophesied tabloid journo & anti sex trafficking crusader W.T. Stead's death on the Titanic... We discuss his Italian great-gma, world-conquering designer (aka Chanel's rival) Elsa Schiaparelli & her affiliations with Dadaists & Surrealists like Dalí and Man Ray, not to mention the fact the de Gaulle government suspected her of collaborating with the 3rd Reich. We unpack how psychic detective de Kerlor appeared on the scene in New Hampshire to "investigate" a murder that two BOI agents linked to German espionage in the Northeast during WWI, and we discuss how de Kerlor & Schiaparelli would be surveilled & interviewed, Wilhelm seemingly under suspicion of serving as a foreign agent. These fascinating, little known histories re Oz Perkins's ancestors are an obvious touchpoint for the clairvoyant FBI agent Lee Harker in the glam Satanic serial-killing-by-sympathetic-magick-or-mind-control flick "Longlegs". We also talk about how it's conceivably 9/11 as Mass Ritual pilled, seeing as Oz's mom Berry Berenson died on Flight 11 on 9/11, which gives one a headrushing vertiginous feeling indeed... Seeing as she's descended from this Theosophist spy. Her BDay is repeatedly woven into the sigilistic & algorithmic subtext of the film. And we also discuss how, on the patrilineal side of Oz's family, his Dad Anthony Perkins's confessed childhood Oedipal complex, the early wished-for death of his father, his lifelong closeted life, and his ultimate succumbing to AIDs... How all of this informed the emotionally-charged, cathartic film & its unspoken traumatic seeds... As we go, our analysis of the film begins to force us to confront a theory where a kind of unstated CSA blackhole is the source of the the Longlegs mystery's gravitational pull. We talk: Mandy dir. Cosmatos's father George Pan Cosmatos's final film “The Shadow Conspiracy” which concerns a pres assassination by drone; both Panos & his Dad having Pan in their names; the Mansonian failed songwriter vibes of both villains Jeremiah Sands & Longlegs; the Mandy scene where a planned ritualized orgy lubricated with “the chemist's best batch” & hallucinogenic wasp injections derails when Mandy openly clowns on the cult leader; Longlegs's character obvs nodding at glam Satanism, Marc Bolan, & David Bowie's infamous “Station to Station”, Dion Fortune-informed exorcism of his possessed indoor pool in what was once stripper & burlesque dancer Gypsy Rose Lee's LA manse; Longlegs's cinematic influences - Fincher fare like Se7en, Zodiac, etc; Silence of the Lambs; Don't Look Now; Altman; Twin Peaks; The Omen; New French Extreme; Gaspar Noe; & Phantasm Many thanks to Orion for jumping on for this spooky dbl feature at such short notice.

In The Pulse of the Earth: Political Geology in Java (Duke UP, 2023), Adam Bobbette tells the story of how modern theories of the earth emerged from the slopes of Indonesia's volcanoes. Beginning in the late nineteenth century, scientists became concerned with protecting the colonial plantation economy from the unpredictable bursts and shudders of volcanoes. Bobbette follows Javanese knowledge traditions, colonial geologists, volcanologists, mystics, Theosophists, orientalists, and revolutionaries to show how the earth sciences originate from a fusion of Western and non-Western cosmology, theology, anthropology, and geology.  Drawing on archival research, interviews, and fieldwork at Javanese volcanoes and in scientific observatories, he explores how Indonesian Islam shaped the theory of plate tectonics, how Dutch colonial volcanologists learned to see the earth in new ways from Javanese spiritual traditions, and how new scientific technologies radically recast notions of the human body, distance, and the earth. In this way, Bobbette decenters the significance of Western scientists to expand our understanding of the evolution of planetary thought and rethinks the politics of geological knowledge.

We open in an unlikely place: Sax Rohmer and his hugely popular, though now mostly rejected Fu Manchu novels. Why did Kenneth Grant choose Rohmer's Dope, alongside Richard Marsh's beloved gothic-exotic horror classic The Beetle, as reference texts for his monumental book The Ninth Arch? Was Fu Manchu born on a ouija board? Why did CU favorite Eugenia Macer-Story use the metaphor of Fu Manchu vs. the "lonesome cowboy" in her genius examination of the UFO phenomenon? Did any of those Theosophists ever really visit Tibet? The tension between so-called eastern and western mystical traditions may be the driving force of what we call occultism, and in this episode we lay the groundwork for a series which will investigate this concept in detail.

In this lecture, we are going into the Tantrik subtle body with even finer brushstrokes following our last discussion on the subject, "The Tantrik Body" which you can watch here: https://youtu.be/-rsfpR2SY9c?si=wJl7KFbwa1L-4td_In this lecture, we look at the sapta dhātus (the 7 constituents of the physical body), which are very important in Ayurveda and compare that to the 7 trunked elephant in the mulādhāra cakra!Of course we will do a comprehensive survey of the various cakras along the susushumnā nādi, comparing the 3 cakra model of classical tantra to the 5 and 6 cakra model in yoga and with the 7 planes of Vedanta vs what I call the “new age traffic light chakra model” of the Theosophist. What is a traditional chakra model and how does the modern "new age" version compare? We'll of course consider all the color schemes, beeja mantras, matrikas and symbology of the cakras and suggest a few different practices you can do oriented around that!Lectures happen live every Monday at 7pm PST, Friday 10am PST and again Friday 6pm PST.  There's Q&A right after the lectre. It is free and open to the public.

Louise Sandhaus is a distinguished author, professor and founder of her eponymous design studio. She won the American Institute of Graphic Arts medal in 2022 for her exceptional achievements. Most recently, she founded "The People's Graphic Design Archive," which she describes as a "crowd-sourced virtual archive" to preserve the ephemeral nature of beautiful design. Her book, "Earthquakes, Mudslides, Fires and Riots: California and Graphic Design 1936-1986" received glowing reviews from many publications, including the New York Times and Guardian of London. She taught for years at Cal Arts and was director of their graphic design program from 2004-2006. Sandhaus has designed many museum exhibits, and one of her designs is in the permanent collection at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. She was also a key exhibition designer in the millennial project of the LA County Museum of Art, "Made in California." Louise talked about growing in a mixed design household: her mother loved older, upholstered furniture and her father sleek, modernist and minimalist design. We also talked about our shared love of the work of writer and critic Reyner Banham, whose influential book on Los Angeles, The Architecture of Four Ecologies, which argued that the oft-maligned city was beautiful in its design and far ahead of its time. We also talked about our shared love of elegant typography, Theosophist history, overlooked designers and how California leads the world of design because of how we are constantly reinventing ourselves. We did not talk about cheese cultures, bauxite refining or the return of mullets to men's hair trends. You can learn more about Louise and her work, https://peoplesgdarchive.org/ or LSD-Studio.net.

The first in a new series of episodes on the dizzying feedback loop of east-meets-west in the occult tradition. We open in an unlikely place: Sax Rohmer and his hugely popular, though now mostly rejected Fu Manchu novels. Why did Kenneth Grant choose Rohmer's Dope, alongside Richard Marsh's beloved gothic-exotic horror classic The Beetle, as reference texts for his monumental book The Ninth Arch? Was Fu Manchu born on a ouija board? Why did CU favorite Eugenia Macer-Story use the metaphor of Fu Manchu vs. the "lonesome cowboy" in her genius examination of the UFO phenomenon? Did any of those Theosophists ever really visit Tibet? The tension between so-called eastern and western mystical traditions may be the driving force of what we call occultism, and in this episode we lay the groundwork for a series which will investigate this concept in detail.  Join us on Patreon for this exclusive series, regular exclusive episodes, full archive, written content, printed journals and more.. https://www.patreon.com/consensusunreality

In part 3 of their Metaparapolitics intervention, Dimitri and Khalid dive into two 20th century academic suslords who both wielded the term “parapolitics” in different but equally questionable ways: anthropologist Clifford Geertz and Michael Aquino's intellectual mentor, Raghavan Iyer. Topics include: Geertz invoking “parapolitics” to obscure the role of Certain Invisible American hands during the 1965 Indonesian genocide, parallels with bullshit “ancient hatred” historiographies about the fall of Yugoslavia, interlocks between Geertz and Obama's sus Ford Foundation anthropologist mother, diving into Raghavan Iyer's “Parapolitics: Toward The City of Man”, backhanded compliments of Marx and Lenin, Iyer's Theosophist essays about Gandhi, and his convenient reification of Ghandian “non-violent” political resistance as the ultimate virtue (contra the Bolsheviks who did a Violence and thus are bad)…

Dimitri and Khalid formally embark on their destabilization campaign against the term “parapolitics”, starting with the earliest known uses of the term from the late 19th to mid-20th century. Topics include: “Little Arthur's Guide to Humbug”, “Agnes Goodmaid”, sus satyr coming out of a cosmic egg, “Political Ideology: Why The Common Man Believes What He Does”, David Easton's “A Framework for Political Analysis”, Lawrence Litton's sus op-ed about parapolitics and the gubernatorial campaign of Tim Leary, sus anthropologist Clifford Geertz's “Interpretation of Cultures” (1973), Michael Aquino's Theosophist mentor Raghavan Iyer, and Joan Didion's “California Dreaming” essay about the Ford Foundation-backed Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions in Santa Barbara.

A Woman's Empire: Russian Women and Imperial Expansion in Asia (U Toronto Press, 2023) explores a new dimension of Russian imperialism: women actively engaged in the process of late imperial expansion. The book investigates how women writers, travellers, and scientists who journeyed to and beyond Central Asia participated in Russia's "civilizing" and colonizing mission, utilizing newly found educational opportunities while navigating powerful discourses of femininity as well as male-dominated science. Katya Hokanson shows how these Russian women resisted domestic roles in a variety of ways. The women writers include a governor general's wife, a fiction writer who lived in Turkestan, and a famous Theosophist, among others. They make clear the perspectives of the ruling class and outline the special role of women as describers and recorders of information about local women, and as builders of "civilized" colonial Russian society with its attendant performances and social events. Although the bulk of their writings, drawings, and photography is primarily noteworthy for its cultural and historical value, A Woman's Empire demonstrates how they also add dimension and detail to the story of Russian imperial expansion and illuminates how women encountered, imagined, and depicted Russia's imperial Other during this period. Katya Hokanson is an associate professor of Russian and Comparative Literature at the University of Oregon. Learn more about your ad choices.

PYTHAGORAS was the ancient Greek philosopher who taught that the cosmos is constructed of spheres, and that air (or a transparent mist called "aether") was the "arche" or substratum of everything — thus the word archetype. In 19th century Victorian science, the "luminiferous ether" was a medium for the propagation of light. In the early 20th century, the Theosophists and Rosicrucians theorized an "etheric plane" — a nonmaterial level of reality above the physical plane. When applied to music, ethereal means subtle, airy and light — immaterial and weightless. It's a word often applied to electronic music, where the sounds are not produced by physical instruments and have an abstract, immaterial quality. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we push off from the bright spaces and watery sounds of spring, journey into rarified realms of light and space, and return to verdant images of spring — on a program called ETHEREA. Music is by ISHQ, KUUTANA, MOTIONFIELD, IASOS, JEFFREY KOEPPER, and AMONGST MYSELVES. [ view playlist ] [ view Flickr image gallery ] [ play 30 second MP3 promo ]

The cover story of the Spring OQ celebrates the Krotona Institute for Theosophy Center's 100th anniversary with a fascinating interview with Dr. Pablo Sender, Maria Parisen and Elena Dovalsantos. The story was written by Kate Fernandez based on this podcast . The event will be celebrated April 15th through April 26 at the august institution that stands on the hillside in the center of the Ojai Valley, often called "the navel of Ojai." The Krotona Center was founded by the Theosophical Society as it outgrew its facilities in Hollywood. Annie Besant raised the money for the Theosophists to purchase the 175 acres on which Krotona stands, as well as another 465 acres in Upper Ojai, which she called "Happy Valley," and which houses both Besant Hill School and the Ojai Foundation. Theosophical Society luminaries will be gathering from all over the world to teach, learn and celebrate. "We focus more on living the teachings, rather than just teaching and trying to spread it," said Dovalsantos. Annie Besant herself visited Ojai for several months in 1927 to check on the facility. She called Ojai "this smiling vale" and foresaw Ojai as an important place in the evolution of humanity. We talked about why Theosophy speaks clearly to a troubled world, its role in Ojai's culture, the beauty of its grounds, how the public can get involved or at least satisfy their curiosity and more. We did not talk about blue whale migrations, the tragic death of the Central Park owl or ancient aliens. Check out KrotonaInstitute.org for more information on this important local landmark and their long and colorful history and future plans. The cover of the Spring OQ features an original artwork by our creative director, Uta Ritke.

This book with two titles, Three Men and a Maid in the USA and The Girl on the Boat in the UK is a typical PG Wodehouse romantic comedy, involving, at various times: a disastrous talent quest, a lawyer with a revolver, a bulldog with a mind of his own and a suit of armour!The maid, or marriageable young woman, of the American title is red-haired, dog-loving Wilhelmina "Billie" Bennet. The three men are Bream Mortimer, a long-time friend and admirer of Billie, Eustace Hignett, a poet of sensitive disposition who is engaged to Billie at the opening of the tale, and Sam Marlowe, Eustace's would-be-dashing cousin, who falls for Billie at first sight. All four find themselves on an ocean liner headed for England together (hence the British title), along with an elephant-gun-wielding young woman called Jane Hubbard who is smitten with Eustace the poet. Typically Wodehousian romantic shenanigans ensue. Even Estace's redoubtable mother (a Theosophist author and public speaker) fails to quell the excitement.

Explores angels from Judeo-Christian and Islamic faiths, Hinduism and Buddhism, the beliefs of ancient Egypt, Yezidism, and Zoroastrianism as well as what Theosophists, Kabbalists, Sufi masters, Eastern gurus, and modern mystics like Edgar Cayce have recounted about angels From the divine messengers of Western traditions to the devas of Eastern traditions to the meleks and spirit beings found along the Silk Road, angels are one of the unifying themes of theology worldwide. But what is an angel, and why do they contact us, believers and nonbelievers alike? In this in-depth study into the mystery and purpose of angels, Normandi Ellis looks at the angelic dimensions of spiritual traditions around the world—from the ancient past to present day. She explores well-known angels from Judeo-Christian and Islamic faiths, the Hindu devata and Buddhist spirit beings, the spirit beings of ancient Egypt, the Peacock Angel of Yezidism, and the yazatas of Zoroastrianism. She compares angelic visions from medieval Christians like Thomas Aquinas and John of Damascus with what Theosophists, kabbalists, Sufi masters, Eastern gurus, and modern mystics like Edgar Cayce have recounted about angels. She looks at dark and fallen angels and their role in the grand cosmological plan. Quoting from sacred traditions, narrative myth, and contemporary angelic encounters, including her own personal interactions with angels, the author clarifies the divergent aspects of angelic beliefs but also reveals the common points shared by all traditions. Ellis shows how, in whatever guise they appear, angels are messengers. She explains that angels are beings of light consciousness, part of the universal life force that connects all beings. And not only are angels actively helping in our planet's cosmic evolution, they also help us see our own place in the cosmic plan.

In our Mysticast conversation with Teresa Keast (https://www.teresa4yoga.co.uk/)  Dru Yoga and Meditation teacher, National Speaker for The Theosophy Society and active member of CE- 5, we discuss the similarities between the practices used by the Theosophists and Dru-Yoga practitioners with Dr. George King (https://www.aetherius.org/dr-george-king/)  (Note 1) advanced yoga techniques. The biggest parallel drawn from this exploration was the practical application of  Breathing exercises, Meditation practices and,Wisdom teachings in our everyday life and the wonderful convergence of these spiritual teachings with our scientific understanding. Meditation can change your life completely. You will not know whether or not this is true unless you try it. Benefits reported from meditation include: control of stress happiness greater confidence improved concentration positive outlook sense of purpose enhanced alertness increased vitality more natural sleep better memory enhanced psychic abilities more powerful intuition clarity of thought Note 1.Dr. George King (1919-1997) was a Master of yoga, trance medium and the author of many books on spirituality. He was contacted by an extraterrestrial intelligence known as “Aetherius” in 1954, and founded The Aetherius Society in 1955 – to promote and act upon the wisdom of highly evolved intelligences from other planets who communicated with, and through, him for over 40 years.

John Brisson is back after a couple of years and things have changed. He's gone from a Gnostic, Theosophist - he would say to born again Christian. This is not just one of our past guests.... seems to a slight trend. What's up with that? We chat about his YouTube cancellation, during covid, the pizzagate talk, Michael Joseph, Bailey/Blavatsky split, and who is channeling demons.   Has earth been given over to Satan? Is humanity being culled? We also into Rockefeller influence on Nag Hamadi, technomancy, his born again experience with kundalini leaving and the Holy Spirit coming in. What was Wilhelm Reich doing with kids in the basement? Is orgone just a distraction? CNP, Apostolic Fathers, the major pendulum swing happening right now all over the West, Kirwin's biblical Mandela, and the last tribe of Dan are also discussed in this first part.   In the second part we get into Darren's Atlas Shrugged world, and the herd being dangerous, when the White Lodge shows itself, who will be leading the charge in the revolution when the pendulum is back, the Mark of the Beast has to be an intentional choice - it wasn't the jab, Operation Tiberius Kirk, Operation Warp Speed, Trump, Canadian parallels, Fabian Socialism and Palantir massive health data collection.   We go deeper into the CNP. Is it also responsible for the destruction of the West? Dark Alliance? What about Turning Point? Moms for Liberty? Why is this club so secret compared to the CFR? Clinton impeachment distraction in context, the real border wall - virutal, Rex 84, Fema camps, sound of Freedom, limited hangout, Tribulation, some of the so called outsiders like Gaetz are also all discussed.   Some good quotes from John - Controlled Great Reset into a false Great Awakening, Externalization of the Hierarchy.   https://twitter.com/weve_read https://linktr.ee/weveread https://www.fixyourgut.com/author/jwbrisson/   To gain access to the second half of show and our Plus feed for audio and podcast please clink the link http://www.grimericaoutlawed.ca/support.   For second half of video (when applicable and audio) go to our Substack and Subscribe. https://grimericaoutlawed.substack.com/ or to our Locals  https://grimericaoutlawed.locals.com/   Help support the show, because we can't do it without ya.

Episode Notes Welcome everyone to Mythstorie, a podcast about myths and History. Today Cammy and Bryent discuss Helena Blavatsky! Helena Blavatsky was a Russian occultist, philosopher, and theosophist. She was the co-founder of the Theosophical Society in 1875, and her writings have been influential in the development of New Age thought. Theosophy is a system of esoteric philosophy that teaches that all religions contain a common inner teaching, or "esoteric doctrine." Theosophists believe that this inner teaching can be accessed through meditation, study, and the guidance of enlightened teachers. In this episode, we'll take a light-hearted look at Blavatsky's life and work.

Explains that angels are beings of light consciousness, here to help our individual and planetary cosmic evolutionExplores angels from Judeo-Christian and Islamic faiths, Hinduism and Buddhism, the beliefs of ancient Egypt, Yezidism, and Zoroastrianism as well as what Theosophists, Kabbalists, Sufi masters, Eastern gurus, and modern mystics like Edgar Cayce have recounted about angelsExamines contemporary angelic encounters, including the author's own interactions with angels, and also looks at the purpose of dark angels and fallen angelsFrom the divine messengers of Western traditions to the devas of Eastern traditions to the meleks and spirit beings found along the Silk Road, angels are one of the unifying themes of theology worldwide. But what is an angel, and why do they contact us, believers and nonbelievers alike?In this in-depth study into the mystery and purpose of angels, Normandi Ellis looks at the angelic dimensions of spiritual traditions around the world—from the ancient past to present day. She explores well-known angels from Judeo-Christian and Islamic faiths, the Hindu devata and Buddhist spirit beings, the spirit beings of ancient Egypt, the Peacock Angel of Yezidism, and the yazatas of Zoroastrianism. She compares angelic visions from medieval Christians like Thomas Aquinas and John of Damascus with what Theosophists, kabbalists, Sufi masters, Eastern gurus, and modern mystics like Edgar Cayce have recounted about angels. She looks at dark and fallen angels and their role in the grand cosmological plan. Quoting from sacred traditions, narrative myth, and contemporary angelic encounters, including her own personal interactions with angels, the author clarifies the divergent aspects of angelic beliefs but also reveals the common points shared by all traditions.Ellis shows how, in whatever guise they appear, angels are messengers. She explains that angels are beings of light consciousness, part of the universal life force that connects all beings. And not only are angels actively helping in our planet's cosmic evolution, they also help us see our own place in the cosmic plan.Normandi Ellis is an award-winning writer, workshop facilitator, and archpriestess of the Fellowship of Isis. The author and coauthor of several books, including Awakening Osiris and Hieroglyphic Words of Power, she leads tours to Egypt. She lives in Chesterfield, Indiana.https://normandiellis.com/
