Racism, Freemasonry and fighting degeneration of American Politics
A situation I have absolutely no patience for is the condition esotericists everywhere find themselves in. What has been the main obstacle to simple propagation of Theosophy, without any elaborate spiritual explanation?

Memorial Service and Prayer Vigil for Charlie Kirk turn into Political Attacks and War Calls
The Memorial Service and Prayer Vigil held for Conservative Charlie Kirk at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. is a sad imagery of a national political party at Death’s doors.

Albert Pike’s Life, Education and Writings | Seminars of Manly P. Hall
Manly P. Hall establishes a background about Albert Pike in this seminar. I strongly argue, that despite shortcomings, as possessed by many of his time, the history of Pike’s life is very important here to our history and is a lesson for us. It establishes Pike and his legacy as an exemplar of cross-cultural wisdom…
