  • The Collected Works of Adam Weishaupt: On Materialism and Idealism

    VARIOUS OPINIONS ABOUT WEISHAUPT’S PHILOSOPHY RANGED FROM anarchist to secular utopian, republican, and philanthropist (see Buzz Feed Unsolved: The Secret Society of the Illuminati). The fact however is — Adam Weishaupt could be seen within a context of Protestant thinking and Idealism, personally engaged in a blend of rational mysticism and morality with empiricism. He professes belief in…

  • The True Doctrine of the Logos: Celsus discourse Against the early Christian Cult

    Celsus was a second-century eclectic of Platonism. In Contra Celsum, Origen reveals in his attempt to reproduce and refute him in his eight-volume work and the mysteries of Mithra, that Celsus adopts a septenary system. The obscure treatise of Celsus was written around 177 CE titled Logos Alēthēs or True Doctrine (Ἀληθὴς Λόγος), but like…

    IN LOS ANGELOS — A LARGE COLLECTION OF MATERIALS ON NINETEENTH-CENTURY ESOTERICISM were claimed by the raging fires in California.

  • Challenging American “Judeo-Christian” Frameworks

  • Owl Symbolism in the Illuminati’s Minerval Assemblies

    AS WITH MANY SCHOOL INSTITUTIONS, I TOO ADOPTED THE PALLAS ATHENA OR MINERVA as a symbolic “patron of knowledge and the arts.” It reminds me of what we all stand for and helps me hold myself accountable. However, we sometimes also find Minerva accompanied by an owl, and this symbolism enters the Illuminati Order. Owl…

  • Historical Sources of the American Founders

    “The American Founders drew on an astonishingly wide range of historical sources. They invoked the Greek city-states, the Carolingian Dynasty [Empire of the Romans and Franks], and the Ottoman Empire in the Constitution’s defense. And they assumed that the new nation’s citizens would themselves be versed in history and political philosophy. Ignorance of the intellectual…

  • The Sensualist and the Sexless Heaven

    The sensualist is treated as depraved and materialistic, which I disagree with. If hypocrisy is an indomitable vice (THE PLATONIST, 1881, p. 2) of the sensualist, so is the blindness and double hypocrisy of the thinker and authority, who though mortal and flowing with the same nervous system as other mortals, pretends to be above…

  • Sergei Rachmaninov: Symphony No. 1 in D Minor Op. 13 – Allegro con fuoco

    Symphony No.1 in D minor Op. 13, fourth movement, allegro con fuoco. Conductor: Vladimir Ashkenazy & Concertgebouw Orchestra

  • Henryk Gorecki – Symphony No. 3, Op. 36: III. Lento, Cantabile Semplice

    So even now though you feel without power, and in shame the world cries, come out from under the rubble and grab hold of it. Though it be unbearable to see the pain, provide the little ones shelter, when the rain comes. Be as Spring to the shadows.

  • Thomas Moore Johnson on Platonism in American Life, and the Limits of Politicians

    Thomas Moore Johnson, a key player in early developments of American esotericism on political quarrels, speaking the truth and the necessity for the Platonic Philosophy from introduction to The Platonist: An Exponent of the Philosophic Truth, Vol. I, No. I, St. Louis, Feb. 1881, pp 1-3: One of the gentlemen to whom was sent a…

  • Nicholas Roerich asks Lama about the Kalachakra and the Kuthumpas

    Nicholas Roerich asks a Lama: “. . . Lama, have you met Azaras (i.e., Sk. ācāryas) and Kuthumpas? (…)” “(…) Many of our people during their lives have encountered the Azaras and Kuthumpas and the snow people who serve them. Only recently have the Azaras ceased to be seen in cities. They are all gathered…

  • Future Friend – Larkin Grimm

    I find this such a beautiful song and have listened to it every day for some time and it speaks to me deeply. Hope it speaks to someone else. LYRICS (we’re going to build a fire) we’re going to build a fire(it’s killing me)(need kindness, i need kindness)will you just sit with me?we’re going to…
