Belief makes things real, not true.

This isn’t a prayer—it’s a bootloader.

“Every spell is a shared hallucination.”

I just finished this episode with Metzger & Rushkoff and flagged what I think are the load-bearing beams for those still pretending the occult is optional.

Audio quality is not the best, but the talk is great!

The other interesting question who and why wanted to erase her?

Three causative rituals stand before you requiring no metaphysical belief yet yielding tangible results within hours. These anarchic practices transcend conventional categorization, functioning through pragmatic verification rather than theoretical acceptance.

Based on interviews with Jimmy Page, the rest of Led Zeppelin, old girlfriends, tour managers, session musicians and more, Jimmy Page: The Definitive Biography by long-time Led Zeppelin aficionado Chris Salewicz, published in 2018, offers a fascinating insight into the life of one of rock's most important - and mysterious - musicians.

Alan Moore transcends mere comic artistry to become a genuine magical practitioner. His journey from mainstream recognition to deliberate isolation represents the authentic path of the occult adept. The Bumper Book of Magic—twenty years in manifestation—stands as a modern grimoire of considerable potency.

Rhine's pioneering work at Duke University's Parapsychology Laboratory stands as irrefutable scientific evidence for extrasensory perception. Through rigorous statistical methodology and unprecedented meta-analysis, the impossible was demonstrated as measurable reality. The data remains bulletproof despite academic resistance.

Short intro about the man.

I observe in this article a reflection of humanity's measured emergence from the shadows of Plato's cave. The contemplation reveals truth's incremental unveiling—a necessary progression, as sudden exposure would overwhelm rather than enlighten. The words suggest the awakening consciousness that expands precisely when readiness permits.

"We naively believe death is a one-way street—irreversible, final, the hard stop of existence. But what if it’s just a speed bump? Researchers at the University of Tokyo have developed a mathematical model suggesting that cellular death might not be so absolute. By reframing it as a reversible state—a delicate equilibrium of enzymatic processes rather than a biological dead-end—they've cracked open a door we thought was permanently shut.

Physics and philosophy are two sides of the same coin; one can't exist without the other. As we test the limits of reality, we’re left with fundamental questions about consciousness and observation. Can a molecule be an observer? What does it mean for something to be "real"? Dive deep into the tangled web of assumptions that shape our understanding of the universe. Experimental metaphysics might just be the key to unlocking deeper truths.

Many spiritual practices reference a “life force” that permeates and flows through the body.

Ideas are alien life forms with an agency and intelligence independent of any mind or substrate which they inhabit. When we say that an idea (a story, a joke, a theory, a work of art) has “taken on a life of its own”, our language betrays an intuitive understanding that science has not yet grasped.

Incidentally, Dr. Lilly has some unkind (or condescending) things to say about one of my contributions to yogic-science, on page 87. That is his privilege and I see no reason to quarrel with him about the matter. I hope the longevity pill arrives soon enough to preserve him to write a thousand books as provocative and luminously brilliant as Simulations of God.

Girls I knew wanted pop stars; I wanted wizardry, the invisible rebellion of the internal life.

John on a thought-provoking journey as he explores the concept of ultimate reality and the various interpretations of God in his new course, "Ultimate Reality: God and Beyond" at Halkyon Academy.

...modern NDEs are an extension and reworking of the medieval Christian visionary experience. ?

Some definitions explained ;)

So - what is it?

🤍 Week 1: Narrative Magick and the Art of the Hypersigil, how the stories we tell affect our reality

Faith and authority have no more part in occult science than they have in natural science; those, teachings of occult science which are not capable of immediate proof should be classed as hypotheses, and the chela should no more be asked to give blind. belief than the student of chemistry.
