I just finished reading his new book “Real Magic” and there is no doubt he is echoing opinions on “NON LOCAL”. He joins people like Julian Jaynes and Thomas Nagel who are “on to it”, and this research will only increase in coming years.
-
Julian Jaynes & Magic? You mean voices in the head? I am not aware of him dabbling in the occult.
-
If you have Julian Jaynes book, go to page 21, which is the first page of the first chapter, he says.
Quote:
We are also quite conscious that all this wonderful set of operations and contents that we all call consciousness is located somewhere in our head.
On critical examination, all of these statements are false.

That book is a novel, and Churton did write it.

DownunderET posted a new activity comment 7 years, 11 months ago
Churton says that he believed Johann Valentin Andreae wrote the manefestos, but also says that there was a never a Rosicrucian society or breatheren. He says that Rosicrucianism was associated with Plato, Dee, Flood and all the usual suspects because of it’s message. There is a lot of religious “chat” in it and the book was a very big “Harveys…[Read more]

This is what bothers me about such books: the persistent attempt to ignore what contemporaries thought: MOST of them, Robert Fludd and Leibniz included, thought this group was real, yet, academic scholarship does not attempt to delve into why these very intelligent people thought this. It’s similar, in some respects, to the trend in academic…[Read more]

But is there enough midnight oil to last the distance. Even George Ann would be scratching her head.
-
Aptly put, that IS the problem I’m having, not WHAT to write, nor even how, but how to GROUND it, so to speak.
-
I hope you find space for some of that material you DIDN’T put in the Transhumanism book.

Philosophical hmmmmm, sounds like esoteric as well, religion maybe, or ancient history, cant’ wait.
-
All of the above and MUCH more besides… I think, probably, this is the most difficult book I’ve tried to tackle, and on a very difficult subject. But it’s not just esoterica or theology nor all ancient stuff either… the historical span is…well….. LONG, as is the theological-philosophical… Sorry I can’t be more specific, but it is…[Read more]

I just finished a 600 page monster in “The Invisible History of the Rosicrucians” by Tobias Churton, so a “thick” new book would not be a problem.
-
Now this DOES sound interesting ..
-
Found this novel by another Churton – or maybe the same author since the protagonist is called “Toby”!

That sounds like an interesting book. Was it any good?

It will be a sad day in hell (sorry about the pun) when the Vatican will make public ANYTHING in that den of vipers.

Has anybody heard about the recent silence of Forum Borealis?
I know Joseph emailed Al, and also posted on Facebook.
It’s all very strange !!!!!!!!-
Downunder, Al told me that he’s in the middle of a very important move, and that things will be back up eventually. He indicated to me he’ll make some sort of announcement. That’s all I know.
-
Thanks Joseph for the heads up, one wonders if Al is moving house or country.

I sort of remember that he might be visiting in the U.S. . . . mentioned in his last video??

Well it seems like “classical” music is the tone for the day. So lets shirt gears here and go to Eumir Deodato the world famous Brazilian electric keyboardist. This is a live recording of one of his hits “Super Strut”. If you don’t know who he is, he wrote the music for the movie 2001 a Space Odyssey.

Sweet !! .. Thanks ET .. Just what I needed ..

Talking of mood-changing music, I bumped into HAPPY TROLL by accident:

What do you expect from the DeepState. The documentary “Everything is a Rich Mans Trick” is a must watch for anyone who wants to see some real investigative research into the JFK murder. They killed Kennedy, got away with it, and then rubbed the American peoples noses in it.

The ‘deep state’ is firmly entrenched now and are still rubbing it in . . . . by the way, DJ will have another special on Pine Gap tomorrow evening.
