00:01:20,230 --> 00:01:17,040 last week we featured of course dr 24 00:01:23,350 --> 00:01:20,240 robert davis and dr marie batchelor who 25 00:01:25,429 --> 00:01:23,360 was a psychic healer and i kind of 26 00:01:26,630 --> 00:01:25,439 feel bad chris wasn't able to come on 27 00:01:28,950 --> 00:01:26,640 the show i thought he'd have a lot of 28 00:01:31,990 --> 00:01:28,960 insights and important questions as you 29 00:01:33,670 --> 00:01:32,000 know chris we've had tons and tons 30 00:01:34,789 --> 00:01:33,680 of responses 31 00:01:36,630 --> 00:01:34,799 especially because i was kind of 32 00:01:38,950 --> 00:01:36,640 critical of the psychic healing and the 33 00:01:40,950 --> 00:01:38,960 explanations have you run into psychic 34 00:01:42,230 --> 00:01:40,960 healing at all in the course of your 35 00:01:44,390 --> 00:01:42,240 travels 36 00:01:46,469 --> 00:01:44,400 yes i have obviously it's pretty 37 00:01:49,270 --> 00:01:46,479 controversial 38 00:01:50,389 --> 00:01:49,280 i think a lot of it boils down to how 39 00:01:51,830 --> 00:01:50,399 much 40 00:01:54,310 --> 00:01:51,840 an individual who's suffering from 41 00:01:56,469 --> 00:01:54,320 something really wants to be healed i 42 00:01:57,910 --> 00:01:56,479 think the the power of 43 00:01:59,109 --> 00:01:57,920 positive uh 44 00:02:01,910 --> 00:01:59,119 thought 45 00:02:04,149 --> 00:02:01,920 in terms of one's um health problem uh i 46 00:02:06,069 --> 00:02:04,159 think is is absolutely paramount 47 00:02:07,910 --> 00:02:06,079 so half the battle is is you know 48 00:02:10,389 --> 00:02:07,920 wanting to be healed you know having 49 00:02:12,470 --> 00:02:10,399 been here in the sedona area for almost 50 00:02:13,670 --> 00:02:12,480 15 years i 51 00:02:15,110 --> 00:02:13,680 worked on 52 00:02:17,910 --> 00:02:15,120 several dozen 53 00:02:21,510 --> 00:02:17,920 training seminar videos 54 00:02:23,990 --> 00:02:21,520 all different sorts of presentations 55 00:02:25,990 --> 00:02:24,000 dealing with about every modality that 56 00:02:28,070 --> 00:02:26,000 you can possibly think of 57 00:02:30,070 --> 00:02:28,080 including soaking your feet and pulling 58 00:02:31,990 --> 00:02:30,080 all your toxins out of your out of your 59 00:02:33,750 --> 00:02:32,000 balls of your feet 60 00:02:36,229 --> 00:02:33,760 well you know is that what she was 61 00:02:38,390 --> 00:02:36,239 talking about when she said about 62 00:02:40,869 --> 00:02:38,400 vibrations coming through my feet when 63 00:02:43,110 --> 00:02:40,879 she subjected me to one of her 64 00:02:44,390 --> 00:02:43,120 skype-based psychic healings was that 65 00:02:46,550 --> 00:02:44,400 what it was about 66 00:02:48,470 --> 00:02:46,560 well yeah your feet 67 00:02:51,270 --> 00:02:48,480 can be used very effectively 68 00:02:52,630 --> 00:02:51,280 to pull toxins out of the body and 69 00:02:55,190 --> 00:02:52,640 you know once you've been 70 00:02:57,830 --> 00:02:55,200 around a lot of this type of kind of 71 00:02:59,190 --> 00:02:57,840 alternative health information and 72 00:03:01,030 --> 00:02:59,200 and stuff for 73 00:03:03,270 --> 00:03:01,040 as long as i have you you get a little 74 00:03:05,110 --> 00:03:03,280 jaded about some of it but i i think 75 00:03:06,630 --> 00:03:05,120 there's something to it i i think i've 76 00:03:08,869 --> 00:03:06,640 seen um 77 00:03:11,910 --> 00:03:08,879 uh just to give you an idea of 78 00:03:13,830 --> 00:03:11,920 a way that you can at least i was able 79 00:03:17,190 --> 00:03:13,840 to demonstrate the effectiveness for 80 00:03:19,190 --> 00:03:17,200 instance of chamomile flower essence my 81 00:03:20,149 --> 00:03:19,200 girlfriend in boston had fallen in love 82 00:03:23,110 --> 00:03:20,159 with this 83 00:03:24,790 --> 00:03:23,120 lop-eared rabbit so she bought this 84 00:03:26,550 --> 00:03:24,800 dang rabbit which 85 00:03:28,470 --> 00:03:26,560 i told her not to name it because we 86 00:03:30,470 --> 00:03:28,480 were going to end up eating it and 87 00:03:32,390 --> 00:03:30,480 she immediately named it but then we had 88 00:03:34,710 --> 00:03:32,400 to rename it because it started doing 89 00:03:36,710 --> 00:03:34,720 laps around the coffee table 90 00:03:38,550 --> 00:03:36,720 and it's excuse me 91 00:03:40,390 --> 00:03:38,560 yeah it was doing laps 92 00:03:42,550 --> 00:03:40,400 around the coffee table boinky boinky 93 00:03:43,589 --> 00:03:42,560 boinky boinky boinky boinky and it did 94 00:03:45,350 --> 00:03:43,599 this 95 00:03:47,190 --> 00:03:45,360 for days 96 00:03:48,149 --> 00:03:47,200 it wouldn't stop 97 00:03:50,710 --> 00:03:48,159 so 98 00:03:55,270 --> 00:03:50,720 him 99 00:03:57,350 --> 00:03:55,280 it was just finally it was just driving 100 00:04:00,869 --> 00:03:57,360 me nuts this thing was gonna you know 101 00:04:03,589 --> 00:04:00,879 die from exhaustion so we took a little 102 00:04:04,710 --> 00:04:03,599 bit of flour essence and rubbed it on 103 00:04:06,710 --> 00:04:04,720 its nose 104 00:04:08,470 --> 00:04:06,720 you know chamomile which is supposedly 105 00:04:11,750 --> 00:04:08,480 going to be calming 106 00:04:12,710 --> 00:04:11,760 and we put some in the in the water and 107 00:04:18,710 --> 00:04:12,720 he 108 00:04:23,189 --> 00:04:19,990 so 109 00:04:24,310 --> 00:04:23,199 lap learned how not to 110 00:04:27,830 --> 00:04:24,320 do laps 111 00:04:30,629 --> 00:04:27,840 you had not a lap dog but a lap rabbit 112 00:04:34,150 --> 00:04:30,639 yeah well you know it's interesting here 113 00:04:35,990 --> 00:04:34,160 our dog teddy bear whom you know 114 00:04:38,550 --> 00:04:36,000 he's hung around you 115 00:04:40,310 --> 00:04:38,560 bichons are known to do that kind of 116 00:04:43,430 --> 00:04:40,320 thing where suddenly they'll start 117 00:04:45,749 --> 00:04:43,440 scurrying or doing laps around the room 118 00:04:47,909 --> 00:04:45,759 at a very fast pace but they only do it 119 00:04:49,749 --> 00:04:47,919 for a few seconds at a time it's like 120 00:04:50,710 --> 00:04:49,759 our dog wants to be the flash or 121 00:04:53,110 --> 00:04:50,720 something 122 00:04:54,870 --> 00:04:53,120 right but it has to be in a certain kind 123 00:04:57,189 --> 00:04:54,880 of playful mood 124 00:04:59,189 --> 00:04:57,199 we just get so excited 125 00:05:01,350 --> 00:04:59,199 it has to let off steam 126 00:05:02,790 --> 00:05:01,360 that happens maybe every few days i 127 00:05:04,950 --> 00:05:02,800 should really take a picture of it and 128 00:05:06,150 --> 00:05:04,960 put it up in the forums i think people 129 00:05:08,390 --> 00:05:06,160 might like it 130 00:05:09,670 --> 00:05:08,400 in any case here what i'm seeing from 131 00:05:12,390 --> 00:05:09,680 what you're telling me about psychic 132 00:05:13,350 --> 00:05:12,400 healing it's not the practitioner so 133 00:05:15,590 --> 00:05:13,360 much 134 00:05:17,590 --> 00:05:15,600 except insofar as they put you into a 135 00:05:20,150 --> 00:05:17,600 state where you could let your own 136 00:05:22,390 --> 00:05:20,160 abilities whatever they are 137 00:05:25,189 --> 00:05:22,400 mind over matter or whatever 138 00:05:27,670 --> 00:05:25,199 engage in 139 00:05:29,510 --> 00:05:27,680 advancing the healing process 140 00:05:31,510 --> 00:05:29,520 well i think i think a lot of it does 141 00:05:32,870 --> 00:05:31,520 boil down to being open 142 00:05:34,790 --> 00:05:32,880 for healing 143 00:05:37,189 --> 00:05:34,800 but i don't i think the practitioner has 144 00:05:38,390 --> 00:05:37,199 a lot to do with it as well to take it 145 00:05:40,390 --> 00:05:38,400 to the next level 146 00:05:42,950 --> 00:05:40,400 you need a practitioner who is well 147 00:05:46,150 --> 00:05:42,960 versed in the particular modalities that 148 00:05:49,670 --> 00:05:46,160 they're you know operating with and 149 00:05:51,029 --> 00:05:49,680 and there are many different ways to 150 00:05:53,350 --> 00:05:51,039 you know look at 151 00:05:55,110 --> 00:05:53,360 a particular health issue 152 00:05:56,870 --> 00:05:55,120 it can be looked at from 153 00:05:59,510 --> 00:05:56,880 many different ways 154 00:06:01,830 --> 00:05:59,520 from many different perspectives 155 00:06:03,830 --> 00:06:01,840 utilizing the knowledge and educational 156 00:06:04,710 --> 00:06:03,840 awareness of many different modalities 157 00:06:07,350 --> 00:06:04,720 so 158 00:06:09,350 --> 00:06:07,360 for 159 00:06:12,390 --> 00:06:09,360 certain types of maladies others are i 160 00:06:13,749 --> 00:06:12,400 think more suited for others so 161 00:06:15,749 --> 00:06:13,759 there you go 162 00:06:18,390 --> 00:06:15,759 but again it requires some input from 163 00:06:19,590 --> 00:06:18,400 the practitioner is it simply putting 164 00:06:21,749 --> 00:06:19,600 you 165 00:06:25,430 --> 00:06:21,759 in the proper state of mind to allow 166 00:06:29,830 --> 00:06:28,230 well it depends it depends on on what it 167 00:06:32,070 --> 00:06:29,840 is that 168 00:06:33,350 --> 00:06:32,080 is being done 169 00:06:36,710 --> 00:06:33,360 number one 170 00:06:41,990 --> 00:06:39,590 i think in in some cases um 171 00:06:43,350 --> 00:06:42,000 where stuff is potentially psychosomatic 172 00:06:44,390 --> 00:06:43,360 yeah i think it's really important to 173 00:06:49,830 --> 00:06:44,400 get 174 00:06:51,749 --> 00:06:49,840 um mindset going 175 00:06:53,749 --> 00:06:51,759 and uh 176 00:06:54,550 --> 00:06:53,759 i think that's that's really important 177 00:06:57,189 --> 00:06:54,560 but 178 00:07:00,309 --> 00:06:57,199 again uh it's i think a lot of it's 179 00:07:01,909 --> 00:07:00,319 hinging on exactly what uh 180 00:07:03,749 --> 00:07:01,919 what it is that you're attempting to 181 00:07:05,749 --> 00:07:03,759 accomplish um 182 00:07:08,629 --> 00:07:05,759 in terms of healing 183 00:07:10,309 --> 00:07:08,639 so yeah um yeah i i will be interested 184 00:07:11,670 --> 00:07:10,319 to um 185 00:07:14,309 --> 00:07:11,680 to listen to the show i haven't had a 186 00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:14,319 chance to listen to it yet but uh 187 00:07:19,029 --> 00:07:17,280 thanks to uh erica uh well actually i 188 00:07:20,550 --> 00:07:19,039 don't think erica 189 00:07:22,469 --> 00:07:20,560 helped you with the show did she i think 190 00:07:24,390 --> 00:07:22,479 she was on the um 191 00:07:26,550 --> 00:07:24,400 after the 192 00:07:28,390 --> 00:07:26,560 she was on actually power cast i would 193 00:07:30,469 --> 00:07:28,400 have loved to have her on i think she's 194 00:07:32,629 --> 00:07:30,479 one of our best 195 00:07:33,990 --> 00:07:32,639 guest co-hosts she's really masterful 196 00:07:35,749 --> 00:07:34,000 the way she does it 197 00:07:37,909 --> 00:07:35,759 because she's a counterpoint to me i'm 198 00:07:40,230 --> 00:07:37,919 the skeptical journalist 199 00:07:42,150 --> 00:07:40,240 and she probes very gently 200 00:07:44,710 --> 00:07:42,160 and i think she works that way with 201 00:07:47,589 --> 00:07:44,720 either of us and i think it was good but 202 00:07:49,029 --> 00:07:47,599 she wasn't available for that 203 00:07:51,430 --> 00:07:49,039 she was available for after the power 204 00:07:53,270 --> 00:07:51,440 casper i gave my observations my concern 205 00:07:55,749 --> 00:07:53,280 here is that 206 00:07:57,029 --> 00:07:55,759 not that marie batchelor is not a nice 207 00:07:59,670 --> 00:07:57,039 woman and 208 00:08:01,749 --> 00:07:59,680 you know we know that she went 209 00:08:03,990 --> 00:08:01,759 through tragedy because her 210 00:08:06,150 --> 00:08:04,000 four-year-old child was struck by a 211 00:08:07,589 --> 00:08:06,160 vehicle and she witnessed that it has to 212 00:08:10,469 --> 00:08:07,599 be the worst thing that happens in your 213 00:08:12,550 --> 00:08:10,479 life and i guess underwent this kind of 214 00:08:13,990 --> 00:08:12,560 epiphany or revelation in the years 215 00:08:16,469 --> 00:08:14,000 following and i guess she was trying to 216 00:08:19,110 --> 00:08:16,479 refine herself again and she got into 217 00:08:21,110 --> 00:08:19,120 this my problem with it is 218 00:08:23,670 --> 00:08:21,120 that when she tries to explain what's 219 00:08:25,510 --> 00:08:23,680 going on it's just word salad 220 00:08:27,029 --> 00:08:25,520 as if she really doesn't know and i 221 00:08:29,189 --> 00:08:27,039 don't think a lot of people do they try 222 00:08:31,830 --> 00:08:29,199 to find an answer she could say it's 223 00:08:35,190 --> 00:08:31,840 vibrations and higher beings others can 224 00:08:38,149 --> 00:08:35,200 say they're in touch with 225 00:08:39,750 --> 00:08:38,159 someone's dead relative or with god or 226 00:08:42,550 --> 00:08:39,760 something else i don't think those 227 00:08:44,230 --> 00:08:42,560 explanations have any meaning 228 00:08:47,030 --> 00:08:44,240 i don't think they matter 229 00:08:48,710 --> 00:08:47,040 in the scheme of things why it happens 230 00:08:50,230 --> 00:08:48,720 but certainly if someone can put you in 231 00:08:52,310 --> 00:08:50,240 a state where 232 00:08:56,389 --> 00:08:52,320 you can relax and 233 00:08:58,310 --> 00:08:56,399 it helps the healing process 234 00:09:00,150 --> 00:08:58,320 i see nothing wrong with that 235 00:09:01,750 --> 00:09:00,160 because i think if a person 236 00:09:03,590 --> 00:09:01,760 lacks the will to live especially if 237 00:09:05,509 --> 00:09:03,600 they're very sick 238 00:09:06,949 --> 00:09:05,519 all that will do 239 00:09:08,389 --> 00:09:06,959 is 240 00:09:10,230 --> 00:09:08,399 make it more difficult for them to 241 00:09:12,070 --> 00:09:10,240 recover i can tell you some stories 242 00:09:15,430 --> 00:09:12,080 about my late brother-in-law 243 00:09:17,430 --> 00:09:15,440 when he was in mayo clinic in scottsdale 244 00:09:20,790 --> 00:09:17,440 and the way they treated him in his last 245 00:09:23,590 --> 00:09:20,800 days was i thought reprehensible but i 246 00:09:24,630 --> 00:09:23,600 like into the politics of that 247 00:09:26,949 --> 00:09:24,640 you know 248 00:09:28,150 --> 00:09:26,959 i wish that on nobody even the people i 249 00:09:30,230 --> 00:09:28,160 hate well maybe there

a trip 473 00:17:59,750 --> 00:17:57,200 around the country 474 00:18:01,750 --> 00:17:59,760 and he'd visit the home of readers 475 00:18:03,830 --> 00:18:01,760 and he choose from among those who

have 479 00:18:11,590 --> 00:18:10,320 you know lunch we had five or six people 480 00:18:13,350 --> 00:18:11,600 invited over 481 00:18:14,870 --> 00:18:13,360 and i set up a table 482 00:18:15,750 --> 00:18:14,880 in the living room 483 00:18:17,990 --> 00:18:15,760 like 484 00:18:20,549 --> 00:18:18,000 a talk radio studio with multiple 485 00:18:22,150 --> 00:18:20,559 microphones and a pair of tape recorders 486 00:18:23,909 --> 00:18:22,160 so i actually tape the thing i don't 487 00:18:25,669 --> 00:18:23,919 have the tape anymore folks sorry you 488 00:18:28,789 --> 00:18:25,679 would have loved to have heard me when i 489 00:18:30,310 --> 00:18:28,799 was 17 years old or maybe you wouldn't i 490 00:18:32,390 --> 00:18:30,320 have no idea 491 00:18:34,390 --> 00:18:32,400 but i got to know forest jay ackerman 492 00:18:37,190 --> 00:18:34,400 there and i met him on a few more 493 00:18:40,870 --> 00:18:37,200 occasions i never visited the akker 494 00:18:42,870 --> 00:18:40,880 mansion though in l.a boy why an emmy as 495 00:18:45,110 --> 00:18:42,880 you get older you'll see this 496 00:18:47,029 --> 00:18:45,120 well a friend of the show paul davids uh 497 00:18:48,390 --> 00:18:47,039 recently was part of a 498 00:18:50,789 --> 00:18:48,400 ceremony to 499 00:18:53,270 --> 00:18:50,799 name a boulevard in l.a after him 500 00:18:55,110 --> 00:18:53,280 they just had a celebration of his life 501 00:18:57,270 --> 00:18:55,120 well that's how i got into you know the 502 00:18:59,270 --> 00:18:57,280 monster magazines and i kind of 503 00:19:01,990 --> 00:18:59,280 would read horror stories i liked edgar 504 00:19:04,150 --> 00:19:02,000 allan poe and uh writers like that and i 505 00:19:05,990 --> 00:19:04,160 kind of just gravitated toward lovecraft 506 00:19:08,549 --> 00:19:06,000 by accident i was at a bookstore and 507 00:19:10,230 --> 00:19:08,559 there was this paperback that had like a 508 00:19:12,950 --> 00:19:10,240 red skull on the cover that looked like 509 00:19:15,270 --> 00:19:12,960 it was on fire and a dark background it 510 00:19:17,590 --> 00:19:15,280 was a fiction of h.p lovecraft i never 511 00:19:19,029 --> 00:19:17,600 heard of him before but i uh bought the 512 00:19:20,630 --> 00:19:19,039 book mainly because of that cover you 513 00:19:21,990 --> 00:19:20,640 know i figured the book the stories had 514 00:19:23,909 --> 00:19:22,000 to be really good if they had a cover 515 00:19:25,669 --> 00:19:23,919 like that back at that time i was 516 00:19:27,190 --> 00:19:25,679 reading a lot of horror and ghost 517 00:19:28,310 --> 00:19:27,200 stories and they didn't really affect me 518 00:19:30,630 --> 00:19:28,320 that much because you get kind of 519 00:19:32,549 --> 00:19:30,640 desensitized to them but i remember the 520 00:19:34,310 --> 00:19:32,559 first time i read the color out space 521 00:19:36,310 --> 00:19:34,320 and it gave me chills up and down my 522 00:19:38,310 --> 00:19:36,320 spine and that was like when i was in 523 00:19:39,909 --> 00:19:38,320 middle school it was a beautiful sunny 524 00:19:42,150 --> 00:19:39,919 day when i was reading that you know i 525 00:19:43,830 --> 00:19:42,160 figured that this must be the real thing 526 00:19:45,830 --> 00:19:43,840 if it can have that kind of an effect on 527 00:19:47,430 --> 00:19:45,840 me you know so then i was hooked on 528 00:19:49,990 --> 00:19:47,440 lovecraft and then from there i 529 00:19:51,750 --> 00:19:50,000 gravitated toward the occult as people 530 00:19:53,830 --> 00:19:51,760 probably do when they get into the magic 531 00:19:55,669 --> 00:19:53,840 and the or the supernatural and the 532 00:19:57,270 --> 00:19:55,679 ghosts and horror first and they kind of 533 00:19:59,270 --> 00:19:57,280 move toward the more new age sort of 534 00:20:00,870 --> 00:19:59,280 thing because they want kind of hands-on 535 00:20:02,710 --> 00:20:00,880 experience i guess what they're called 536 00:20:04,470 --> 00:20:02,720 they don't just want to read about now 537 00:20:06,310 --> 00:20:04,480 of course obviously most of our 538 00:20:07,270 --> 00:20:06,320 listeners know that lovecraft was a 539 00:20:11,190 --> 00:20:07,280 writer 540 00:20:12,710 --> 00:20:11,200 of fiction so how does the trip go from 541 00:20:15,190 --> 00:20:12,720 being interested 542 00:20:17,830 --> 00:20:15,200 in the fictional writer 543 00:20:18,870 --> 00:20:17,840 to looking at magic the occult in terms 544 00:20:20,870 --> 00:20:18,880 of fact 545 00:20:23,750 --> 00:20:20,880 well i you know it's kind of it seemed 546 00:20:25,750 --> 00:20:23,760 like a natural progression to me to do 547 00:20:27,909 --> 00:20:25,760 that you know but i don't know i guess 548 00:20:29,830 --> 00:20:27,919 there's i guess there are fans out there 549 00:20:31,590 --> 00:20:29,840 that just like the science fiction 550 00:20:34,390 --> 00:20:31,600 horror and they don't feel the need to 551 00:20:36,149 --> 00:20:34,400 go that go to that different level there 552 00:20:38,870 --> 00:20:36,159 that different direction but i did for 553 00:20:41,350 --> 00:20:38,880 some reason so i really can't compare it 554 00:20:42,950 --> 00:20:41,360 to anything i can't really analyze why i 555 00:20:45,669 --> 00:20:42,960 went that direction why other people 556 00:20:48,070 --> 00:20:45,679 went other direction but i i did 557 00:20:49,590 --> 00:20:48,080 i just went that direction basically i 558 00:20:51,510 --> 00:20:49,600 think a lot of the things that helped me 559 00:20:53,350 --> 00:20:51,520 in that direction were that i kept 560 00:20:55,510 --> 00:20:53,360 seeing lovecraft being associated with 561 00:20:57,830 --> 00:20:55,520 the occult for some reason like back in 562 00:20:59,750 --> 00:20:57,840 those days you had the satanic bible do 563 00:21:03,990 --> 00:20:59,760 you remember the satanic bible anton 564 00:21:06,149 --> 00:21:04,000 levay sure in uh 1966 he declared the 565 00:21:07,909 --> 00:21:06,159 age of satan and then the satanic bible 566 00:21:10,149 --> 00:21:07,919 came out then the satanic rituals came 567 00:21:12,230 --> 00:21:10,159 out and he had a section in the satanic 568 00:21:14,070 --> 00:21:12,240 rituals on lovecraft the metaphysics the 569 00:21:16,549 --> 00:21:14,080 lovecraft and there were rituals in 570 00:21:17,830 --> 00:21:16,559 there and then you would see stuff on tv 571 00:21:20,630 --> 00:21:17,840 like they used to have this night 572 00:21:23,190 --> 00:21:20,640 gallery tv show remember that rod 573 00:21:24,789 --> 00:21:23,200 sterling did after the twilight zone and 574 00:21:27,029 --> 00:21:24,799 they had a column 575 00:21:29,510 --> 00:21:27,039 yeah where they had a couple uh 576 00:21:32,230 --> 00:21:29,520 viginettes on lovecraft and clark aston 577 00:21:33,909 --> 00:21:32,240 smith and so it all kind of seemed to be 578 00:21:35,590 --> 00:21:33,919 part of the whole same thing you know so 579 00:21:37,669 --> 00:21:35,600 then there was rituals being done and 580 00:21:40,390 --> 00:21:37,679 then of course simon's book came out 581 00:21:42,950 --> 00:21:40,400 simon's necronomicon came out so it kind 582 00:21:45,110 --> 00:21:42,960 of seemed like other people were kind of 583 00:21:47,270 --> 00:21:45,120 associating lovecraft with occultism and 584 00:21:49,350 --> 00:21:47,280 i was seeing lovecraft being associated 585 00:21:50,950 --> 00:21:49,360 with occultism i guess it must have been 586 00:21:52,710 --> 00:21:50,960 all those things together that kind of 587 00:21:54,230 --> 00:21:52,720 moved me in that direction but i really 588 00:21:56,230 --> 00:21:54,240 don't know i've never really analyzed 589 00:21:58,470 --> 00:21:56,240 why i've been fascinated with magic and 590 00:22:00,630 --> 00:21:58,480 new age themes did you actually ever 591 00:22:03,990 --> 00:22:00,640 have any experiences yourself 592

magical 726 00:27:46,470 --> 00:27:44,400 experience and i'll be in the grimoire 727 00:27:47,990 --> 00:27:46,480 course and we'll talk about that later 728 00:27:50,230 --> 00:27:48,000 or not at all 729 00:27:52,630 --> 00:27:50,240 but i'll talk about my things i guess i 730 00:27:54,630 --> 00:27:52,640 had two experiences that weren't magical 731 00:27:56,389 --> 00:27:54,640 because i didn't actually 732 00:27:58,070 --> 00:27:56,399 i wasn't in any kind of intellectual 733 00:27:59,350 --> 00:27:58,080 decompression situation where i was 734 00:28:01,430 --> 00:27:59,360 actually creating there and making it 735 00:28:03,350 --> 00:28:01,440 available and so these happen just the 736 00:28:05,269 --> 00:28:03,360 way they would happen to just a normal 737 00:28:06,470 --> 00:28:05,279 person it's not a magical practitioner 738 00:28:08,630 --> 00:28:06,480 so i have to assume that they're 739 00:28:11,110 --> 00:28:08,640 paranormal one of them's paranormal and 740 00:28:13,269 --> 00:28:11,120 one of them's ufo the 741 00:28:15,350 --> 00:28:13,279 paranormal one is kind of weird i we 742 00:28:18,470 --> 00:28:15,360 used to go up to clare michigan and we'd 743 00:28:20,070 --> 00:28:18,480 stay at this cottage on lake 13 and i 744 00:28:22,149 --> 00:28:20,080 remember 745 00:28:24,389 --> 00:28:22,159 this only happened up there but my mom 746 00:28:26,310 --> 00:28:24,399 and dad were both alive then and what we 747 00:28:28,710 --> 00:28:26,320 do there was like two bedrooms there and 748 00:28:30,149 --> 00:28:28,720 one bedroom had two beds and my dad 749 00:28:32,310 --> 00:28:30,159 would sleep in one i would sleep in the 750 00:28:34,310 --> 00:28:32,320 other and then the other bedroom across 751 00:28:36,230 --> 00:28:34,320 the these all kind of let on the main 752 00:28:37,990 --> 00:28:36,240 living room and then in the other 753 00:28:39,190 --> 00:28:38,000 bedroom my twin brother would sleep in 754 00:28:41,029 --> 00:28:39,200 there and then our grandparents would 755 00:28:42,630 --> 00:28:41,039 sleep in the other one and my mom there 756 00:28:44,389 --> 00:28:42,640 was no place for her to sleep so she'd 757 00:28:46,149 --> 00:28:44,399 sleep on the sofa in the living room now 758 00:28:48,070 --> 00:28:46,159 it was a very big living room it would 759 00:28:49,269 --> 00:28:48,080 get fearfully dark at night up there 760 00:28:52,230 --> 00:28:49,279 they didn't have any street lights or 761 00:28:53,750 --> 00:28:52,240 anything like that she would lay down on 762 00:28:55,590 --> 00:28:53,760 that sofa there and she would fall 763 00:28:58,149 --> 00:28:55,600 asleep and this was really weird this 764 00:28:59,830 --> 00:28:58,159 only happened to me each in the evenings 765 00:29:01,510 --> 00:28:59,840 when we were living there but 766 00:29:03,350 --> 00:29:01,520 everybody be asleep right i'd be 767 00:29:05,669 --> 00:29:03,360 sleeping in the bedroom and for some 768 00:29:07,750 --> 00:29:05,679 reason i would always wake up sometime 769 00:29:09,909 --> 00:29:07,760 after midnight i just always wake up and 770 00:29:11,990 --> 00:29:09,919 then i would go the further bed and look 771 00:29:14,149 --> 00:29:12,000 out into the living room and i'd see my 772 00:29:16,149 --> 00:29:14,159 mom laying there on the sofa i'd see her 773 00:29:17,830 --> 00:29:16,159 shape now there was like a night light 774 00:29:18,950 --> 00:29:17,840 in there so you could it was very dim 775 00:29:21,029 --> 00:29:18,960 you couldn't see anything but you could 776 00:29:23,269 --> 00:29:21,039 just make out shapes but then it was 777 00:29:25,110 --> 00:29:23,279 really weird i'd be watching her and 778 00:29:26,870 --> 00:29:25,120 then suddenly it seemed like she was 779 00:29:29,269 --> 00:29:26,880 getting out of her body or something it 780 00:29:31,269 --> 00:29:29,279 was her gain all the body and i could 781 00:29:33,269 --> 00:29:31,279 see like a kind of a bright white 782 00:29:35,430 --> 00:29:33,279 outline around the shape of her but i 783 00:29:37,269 --> 00:29:35,440 could see through the shape of her and 784 00:29:40,230 --> 00:29:37,279 what she would do she would she leave 785 00:29:41,590 --> 00:29:40,240 the sofa and she'd go over to a rocking 786 00:29:43,110 --> 00:29:41,600 chair there was a rocking chair out 787 00:29:45,190 --> 00:29:43,120 there in front of the fireplace and then 788 00:29:47,269 --> 00:29:45,200 she would start to rock her shape was 789 00:29:49,510 --> 00:29:47,279 still there but then this was similacrum 790 00:29:50,710 --> 00:29:49,520 or whatever it was was rocking in the 791 00:29:51,669 --> 00:29:50,720 rocking chair 792 00:29:57,830 --> 00:29:51,679 and then 793 00:30:01,990 --> 00:29:57,840 start walking 794 00:30:03,190 --> 00:30:02,000 with her arms out and she had a really i 795 00:30:05,269 --> 00:30:03,200 could see through her but she had a 796 00:30:07,590 --> 00:30:05,279 really evil or kind of weird look on her 797 00:30:10,070 --> 00:30:07,600 face one that i'd never seen when she 798 00:30:12,389 --> 00:30:10,080 was awake it used to terrify me you know 799 00:30:14,070 --> 00:30:12,399 now i'd go back and lay down and what 800 00:30:15,590 --> 00:30:14,080 she would do she'd walk like up to the 801 00:30:17,830 --> 00:30:15,600 door of the room and then she would 802 00:30:20,549 --> 00:30:17,840 disappear and she'd be back in a rocking 803 00:30:23,269 --> 00:30:20,559 chair and one time i felt unusually 804 00:30:25,990 --> 00:30:23,279 brave and so instead of going back to 805 00:30:27,750 --> 00:30:26,000 bed i actually got up and she saw me and 806 00:30:29,830 --> 00:30:27,760 she was walking toward me i walked right 807 00:30:31,830 --> 00:30:29,840 toward her i was actually trembling i 808 00:30:34,230 --> 00:30:31,840 was scared to death i was about 13 years 809 00:30:36,789 --> 00:30:34,240 old and i was walking toward her and 810 00:30:39,110 --> 00:30:36,799 then when i we almost met she 811 00:30:40,710 --> 00:30:39,120 disappeared she wasn't anywhere in the 812 00:30:42,630 --> 00:30:40,720 room but the rocking chair was still 813 00:30:44,950 --> 00:30:42,640 moving and then i walked over to the 814 00:30:47,909 --> 00:30:44,960 rocking chair and i reached out and put 815 00:30:49,909 --> 00:30:47,919 my hand on and then it stopped 816 00:30:51,190 --> 00:30:49,919 and now i wanted to test that one time i 817 00:30:53,350 --> 00:30:51,200 was thinking well maybe i'm just 818 00:30:55,669 --> 00:30:53,360 imagining this and so one night i 819 00:30:57,350 --> 00:30:55,679 changed beds with my brother and my 820 00:30:59,350 --> 00:30:57,360 brother's room was looking out into that 821 00:31:01,669 --> 00:30:59,360 living room also but from a little 822 00:31:03,269 --> 00:31:01,679 different angle and he never would wake 823 00:31:04,950 --> 00:31:03,279 up of course he would sleep like a rock 824 00:31:07,669 --> 00:31:04,960 when he fell asleep so he was in my old 825 00:31:09,669 --> 00:31:07,679 room and i woke up one night and it was 826 00:31:12,230 --> 00:31:09,679 the same time as usual i woke up the 827 00:31:14,230 --> 00:31:12,240 same time after midnight and then i saw 828 00:31:16,230 --> 00:31:14,240 her out in the chair again but i was 829 00:31:18,310 --> 00:31:16,240 seeing her from a different view like 830 00:31:20,070 --> 00:31:18,320 she was sitting at an angle and then i 831 00:31:21,990 --> 00:31:20,080 saw her walking 832 00:31:23,590 --> 00:31:22,000 toward the room now you'd think if it 833 00:31:25,110 --> 00:31:23,600 was imaginary that she would walk 834 00:31:26,630 --> 00:31:25,120 directly toward me because i was 835 00:31:28,549 --> 00:31:26,640 imagining it right but she didn't do 836 00:31:30,950 --> 00:31:28,559 that she was walking directly toward 837 00:31:32,470 --> 00:31:30,960 that room i saw her from the side view 838 00:31:34,310 --> 00:31:32,480 and then she would disappear 839 00:31:36,630 --> 00:31:34,320 and this would happen quite frequently 840 00:31:38,710 --> 00:31:36,640 when we went on vacation up to lake 13. 841 00:31:39,990 --> 00:31:38,720 never happened anywhere else i never saw 842 00:31:41,590 --> 00:31:40,000 anything like that again and i don't 843 00:31:43,590 --> 00:31:41,600 know if it's paranormal because she 844 00:31:45,430 --> 00:31:43,600 wasn't dead you could say maybe it was 845 00:31:48,070 --> 00:31:45,440 like an astral body or something or a 846 00:31:50,310 --> 00:31:48,080 projection whatever it was i guess i'd 847 00:31:52,149 --> 00:31:50,320 have to consider that to be a paranoid 848 00:31:53,350 --> 00:31:52,159 certainly a paranormal experience i 849 00:31:55,269 --> 00:31:53,360 don't know if the ghost hunters would 850 00:31:57,350 --> 00:31:55,279 call that but that's what i called it 851 00:31:59,269 --> 00:31:57,360 chris you wanted to ask something 852 00:32:01,190 --> 00:31:59,279 maybe she had some sort of spectral evil 853 00:32:03,269 --> 00:32:01,200 twin that didn't survive the birth 854 00:32:05,029 --> 00:32:03,279 process or something well i don't know 855 00:32:06,950 --> 00:32:05,039 where it was she was a very nice woman 856 00:32:08,710 --> 00:32:06,960 you know but that was my uh 857 00:32:11,029 --> 00:32:08,720 that i guess what i'd have to call a 858 00:32:12,710 --> 00:32:11,039 paranormal experience i did have a ufo 859 00:32:15,909 --> 00:32:12,720 experience up in clare michigan too this 860 00:32:17,430 --> 00:32:15,919 was during the ufo craze i when i was in 861 00:32:18,950 --> 00:32:17,440 high school just in my last year in high 862 00:32:21,750 --> 00:32:18,960 school you want to have time to talk 863 00:32:26,230 --> 00:32:23,990 okay well this was a hard experience my 864 00:32:28,149 --> 00:32:26,240 brother was into ufos he read all the 865 00:32:30,630 --> 00:32:28,159 books you know remember those books you 866 00:32:32,549 --> 00:32:30,640 mentioned you draw you drop into the uh 867 00:32:34,710 --> 00:32:32,559 the weiser bookstore and pick up a book 868 00:32:36,070 --> 00:32:34,720 on ufos or magazine well you remember 869 00:32:38,230 --> 00:32:36,080 the kind of books they had back then 870 00:32:40,310 --> 00:32:38,240 they had like frank edwards 871 00:32:43,509 --> 00:32:40,320 something about flying saucers they had 872 00:32:45,029 --> 00:32:43,519 adamski's books about saucer contact he 873 00:32:46,710 --> 00:32:45,039 the interrupted journey i think with 874 00:32:48,310 --> 00:32:46,720 barney bayhill they had those kind of 875 00:32:50,630 --> 00:32:48,320 books out you know my brother was really 876 00:32:53,669 --> 00:32:50,640 interested in ufos and he had a good 877 00:32:55,750 --> 00:32:53,679 friend that was interested in ufos too 878 00:32:57,269 --> 00:32:55,760 yeah we were out there at uh the swampy 879 00:32:59,190 --> 00:32:57,279 area and we were just driving around and 880 00:33:00,950 --> 00:32:59,200 then suddenly my friend had one of those 881 00:33:02,389 --> 00:33:00,960 original little volkswagen things 882 00:33:03,750 --> 00:33:02,399 remember those things you know they were 883 00:33:06,149 --> 00:33:03,760 really terrible in the highway they'd 884 00:33:07,669 --> 00:33:06,159 really shake when you got to about 60 885 00:33:10,549 --> 00:33:07,679 miles per hour but we're going to the 886 00:33:12,149 --> 00:33:10,559 volkswagen beetle right 887 00:33:13,750 --> 00:33:12,159 and we uh 888 00:33:15,669 --> 00:33:13,760 there was suddenly something in front of 889 00:33:17,509 --> 00:33:15,679 us and it was like hovering along the 890 00:33:19,909 --> 00:33:17,519 ground now it's kind of misty out there 891 00:33:22,310 --> 00:33:19,919 and we can't really see it uh but it was 892 00:33:23,830 --> 00:33:22,320 hovering and it was moving as fast as we 893 00:33:25,590 --> 00:33:23,840 would like we would move in there and 894 00:33:27,509 --> 00:33:25,600 move it about the same speed and it 895 00:33:29,750 --> 00:33:27,519 definitely wasn't like a motorcycle or a 896 00:33:31,909 --> 00:33:29,760 bike or a car or anything like that 897 00:33:33,669 --> 00:33:31,919 it had like a little row of lights but 898 00:33:35,909 --> 00:33:33,679 it was just a little bit off the ground 899 00:33:37,590 --> 00:33:35,919 like maybe four feet off the ground and 900 00:33:39,830 --> 00:33:37,600 it was just hovering there 901 00:33:41,990 --> 00:33:39,840 and so we started chasing the thing and 902 00:33:43,350 --> 00:33:42,000 we we could never catch up to it we'd uh 903 00:33:45,669 --> 00:33:43,360 go so far 904 00:33:47,509 --> 00:33:45,679 and uh it would just keep pace with us 905 00:33:48,870 --> 00:33:47,519 it had perfect control of itself you 906 00:33:50,549 --> 00:33:48,880 know so we couldn't catch up with when 907 00:33:52,389 --> 00:33:50,559 we increased our speed it would increase 908 00:33:54,630 --> 00:33:52,399 its speed when we slowed down so it just 909 00:33:56,389 --> 00:33:54,640 kind of stayed even with us 910 00:33:58,149 --> 00:33:56,399 and then at one point 911 00:34:00,549 --> 00:33:58,159 my friend was driving my brother's 912 00:34:02,230 --> 00:34:00,559 friend he stopped the car and then he 913 00:34:04,549 --> 00:34:02,240 got out we all got out of the car and we 914 00:34:07,350 --> 00:34:04,559 left the lights on he had a flashlight 915 00:34:09,510 --> 00:34:07,360 and so he walked to the front of his car 916 00:34:11,829 --> 00:34:09,520 and then he kind of flashed his light he 917 00:34:14,310 --> 00:34:11,839 clicked it like twice the flashlight and 918 00:34:16,869 --> 00:34:14,320 then the thing blinked twice and he 919 00:34:19,030 --> 00:34:16,879 tried it three times and it did the same 920 00:34:20,550 --> 00:34:19,040 thing it blinked three times and they 921 00:34:22,310 --> 00:34:20,560 wanted to try something different so he 922 00:34:24,389 --> 00:34:22,320 kind of spun the it was one of those 923 00:34:25,990 --> 00:34:24,399 old-fashioned uh 924 00:34:28,470 --> 00:34:26,000 uh flashlights they used to have and 925 00:34:30,790 --> 00:34:28,480 they spun the last the light around and 926 00:34:32,790 --> 00:34:30,800 then suddenly made a whirring sound you 927 00:34:35,109 --> 00:34:32,800 know so i guess that was its equivalent 928 00:34:37,829 --> 00:34:35,119 of what he was doing but then we got 929 00:34:39,430 --> 00:34:37,839 back in the car and then we were trying 930 00:34:41,909 --> 00:34:39,440 to pursue it some more but then it kind 931 00:34:43,190 --> 00:34:41,919 of vanished and then i went back home 932 00:34:44,389 --> 00:34:43,200 they dropped me off we were staying at a 933 00:34:46,629 --> 00:34:44,399 hotel and they dropped me off at the 934 00:34:48,230 --> 00:34:46,639 hotel and when they came back 935 00:34:49,750 --> 00:34:48,240 they were driving up and down the roads 936 00:34:51,589 --> 00:34:49,760 for another hour or so but there was 937 00:34:53,030 --> 00:34:51,599 nothing else there so i guess i'd have 938 00:34:55,109 --> 00:34:53,040 to say that was like 939 00:34:56,950 --> 00:34:55,119 a ufo experience at least it was an 940 00:34:59,109 --> 00:34:56,960 unidentified flying object that's for 941 00:35:00,390 --> 00:34:59,119 sure you know but there's no explanation 942 00:35:02,470 --> 00:35:00,400 for that at all 943 00:35:06,230 --> 00:35:02,480 what year is this 60s 944 00:35:11,190 --> 00:35:06,240 no this this was yeah around uh actually 945 00:35:12,550 --> 00:35:11,200 around 72 71 or 72. okay yeah 946 00:35:15,109 --> 00:35:12,560 yeah there was quite a bit of activity 947 00:35:18,630 --> 00:35:15,119 in the upper midwest uh 948 00:35:20,870 --> 00:35:18,640 in um 71 72 and then it all just 949 00:35:22,870 --> 00:35:20,880 exploded in 73. 950 00:35:25,270 --> 00:35:22,880 yeah i don't know i those two things 951 00:35:27,670 --> 00:35:25,280 that little ghost thing of my mom 952 00:35:29,030 --> 00:35:27,680 and the ufo those are the only two 953 00:35:30,790 --> 00:35:29,040 experiences i've had that could be 954 00:35:32,470 --> 00:35:30,800 classified as paranormal your phone i 955 00:35:34,470 --> 00:35:32,480 have no explanation 956 00:35:35,829 --> 00:35:34,480 for any of those you know so i don't 957 00:35:37,349 --> 00:35:35,839 know if that's of any interest to your 958 00:35:39,270 --> 00:35:37,359 readers and i don't know what any of it 959 00:35:41,910 --> 00:35:39,280 means but uh it was certainly 960 00:35:47,030 --> 00:35:44,710 just having an experience 961 00:35:49,030 --> 00:35:47,040 is enough for some people even if it's 962 00:35:51,109 --> 00:35:49,040 only one or two that's more 963 00:35:53,430 --> 00:35:51,119 than most people have and certainly your 964 00:35:55,670 --> 00:35:53,440 ufo experience is a lot more than most 965 00:35:57,589 --> 00:35:55,680 people who even see ufos have mostly 966 00:35:58,790 --> 00:35:57,599 it's just a lightness guy that does 967 00:36:01,430 --> 00:35:58,800 nothing 968 00:36:03,510 --> 00:36:01,440 fact is the closest thing i ever saw to 969 00:36:06,710 --> 00:36:03,520 a ufo must have happened sometime in the 970 00:36:07,670 --> 00:36:06,720 1960s and once again i saw light in the 971 00:36:09,750 --> 00:36:07,680 sky 972 00:36:11,349 --> 00:36:09,760 and seemed to be moving slowly and then 973 00:36:12,630 --> 00:36:11,359 it seemed to speed up before it 974 00:36:14,550 --> 00:36:12,640 disappeared 975 00:36:17,190 --> 00:36:14,560 but there was nothing distinctive enough 976 00:36:19,109 --> 00:36:17,200 there to indicate this was anything but 977 00:36:21,349 --> 00:36:19,119 something conventional 978 00:36:22,950 --> 00:36:21,359 yeah well what it's done for me it's 979 00:36:25,670 --> 00:36:22,960 opened my mind you know of course all my 980 00:36:27,349

00:42:37,190 --> 00:42:35,440 of science fiction horror and fantasy 1136 00:42:39,349 --> 00:42:37,200 who really have heard a lot that 1137 00:42:42,390 --> 00:42:39,359 lovecraft may be a practicing magician 1138 00:42:44,150 --> 00:42:42,400 or an unconscious magician or whatever 1139 00:42:45,670 --> 00:42:44,160 and they might have been involved in the 1140 00:42:48,309 --> 00:42:45,680 occult and this book was written 1141 00:42:50,309 --> 00:42:48,319 specifically to address that issue and 1142 00:42:52,550 --> 00:42:50,319 uh what i like about the book is it not 1143 00:42:54,390 --> 00:42:52,560 only explains what lovecraft knew and 1144 00:42:56,870 --> 00:42:54,400 how much he knew about magic and it 1145 00:42:58,630 --> 00:42:56,880 clears the record so to speak but it 1146

00:43:16,550 --> 00:43:14,960 yeah well my experiences i when i first 1155 00:43:18,710 --> 00:43:16,560 started out with magic i was in high 1156 00:43:20,870 --> 00:43:18,720 school and i did pretty conventional 1157 00:43:22,550 --> 00:43:20,880 rituals i would do them just like all 1158 00:43:24,870 --> 00:43:22,560 those old grimoires like the key of 1159 00:43:27,030 --> 00:43:24,880 solomon they had pre-set rules about how 1160 00:43:28,630 --> 00:43:27,040 to do magic how to set up the circles 1161 00:43:30,309 --> 00:43:28,640 how to make the kinds of weapons that 1162 00:43:32,309 --> 00:43:30,319 you use the wand the sword the cup and 1163 00:43:34,390 --> 00:43:32,319 the pinnacle and then they have 1164 00:43:36,630 --> 00:43:34,400 different evocations or invocations and 1165 00:43:38,870 --> 00:43:36,640 i used to do those things i would do 1166 00:43:41,270 --> 00:43:38,880 them and i would get the results i was 1167 00:43:43,829 --> 00:43:41,280 supposed to get i remember i did a uh 1168 00:43:45,990 --> 00:43:43,839 evocation of bart's bell one time bart's 1169 00:43:47,270 --> 00:43:46,000 about the spirit of mars it was outdoor 1170 00:43:49,030 --> 00:43:47,280 temple and it was all set up the way 1171 00:43:51,990 --> 00:43:49,040 you'd expect it to be set up to kind of 1172 00:43:54,390 --> 00:43:52,000 appeal to the martian kind of atmosphere 1173 00:43:55,829 --> 00:43:54,400 and we i had two magical assistants well 1174 00:43:57,510 --> 00:43:55,839 i mean these are the same assistants 1175 00:43:58,950 --> 00:43:57,520 that i used for my more lovecraftian 1176 00:44:01,030 --> 00:43:58,960 rituals too but 1177 00:44:03,270 --> 00:44:01,040 i started out with the more standard 1178 00:44:05,109 --> 00:44:03,280 western rituals and we actually did 1179 00:44:07,349 --> 00:44:05,119 evoke the spirit of bart's bill i mean 1180 00:44:08,390 --> 00:44:07,359 it appeared in the triangle like it was 1181 00:44:10,390 --> 00:44:08,400 supposed to 1182 00:44:12,710 --> 00:44:10,400 and we could actually communicate where 1183 00:44:14,790 --> 00:44:12,720 we could all see it and stuff but what 1184 00:44:17,990 --> 00:44:14,800 bothered me about this experience with 1185 00:44:19,510 --> 00:44:18,000 bart's adult is that it was like a stage 1186 00:44:21,109 --> 00:44:19,520 kind of thing you know it appeared just 1187 00:44:22,870 --> 00:44:21,119 the way i thought it would appear it did 1188 00:44:24,630 --> 00:44:22,880 the kind of things i thought and i kept 1189 00:44:27,109 --> 00:44:24,640 thinking in the back of my mind gee is 1190 00:44:28,790 --> 00:44:27,119 this an actual real entity that i'm in 1191 00:44:30,790 --> 00:44:28,800 touch with here is this just something i 1192 00:44:32,390 --> 00:44:30,800 create in my mind i kind of brought out 1193 00:44:34,550 --> 00:44:32,400 and i really could not answer that 1194 00:44:36,230 --> 00:44:34,560 question and i wasn't really quite 1195 00:44:38,309 --> 00:44:36,240 satisfied with the magical results it 1196 00:44:39,829 --> 00:44:38,319 didn't seem genuine to me 1197 00:44:41,910 --> 00:44:39,839 and then uh 1198 00:44:44,309 --> 00:44:41,920 a couple years later i started using the 1199 00:44:46,710 --> 00:44:44,319 lovecraftian which i was inspired by 1200 00:44:48,470 --> 00:44:46,720 anton levay's rituals and now i started 1201 00:44:51,190 --> 00:44:48,480 writing my own rituals my own 1202 00:44:53,190 --> 00:44:51,200 inspirational rituals and then when we i 1203 00:44:55,190 --> 00:44:53,200 started working with those rituals it 1204 00:44:57,430 --> 00:44:55,200 was quite a difference you know i had no 1205 00:44:59,589 --> 00:44:57,440 doubts when i did my own rituals that i 1206 00:45:01,349 --> 00:44:59,599 was actually in touch with something 1207 00:45:02,870 --> 00:45:01,359 there was just not a projection for me 1208 00:45:04,470 --> 00:45:02,880 there was something out there now 1209 00:45:06,390 --> 00:45:04,480 whether i could actually understand what 1210 00:45:09,030 --> 00:45:06,400 i was seeing or not or whether my 1211 00:45:10,470 --> 00:45:09,040 perceptions were just clouded by the way 1212 00:45:12,150 --> 00:45:10,480 i've been conditioned to see things i 1213 00:45:13,990 --> 00:45:12,160 don't know about that but i had 1214 00:45:16,950 --> 00:45:14,000 immediate conviction that what i was 1215 00:45:20,710 --> 00:45:16,960 doing was actually hooking up to actual 1216 00:45:22,630 --> 00:45:20,720 extraterrestrial or supernatural or 1217 00:45:24,710 --> 00:45:22,640 supra natural however you want to 1218 00:45:26,230 --> 00:45:24,720 describe the interdimensional however 1219 00:45:27,829 --> 00:45:26,240 you want to describe these entities i 1220 00:45:29,430 --> 00:45:27,839 had no doubts i was actually in touch 1221 00:45:31,589 --> 00:45:29,440 with things they were not just 1222 00:45:33,030 --> 00:45:31,599 projections inside me and then at that 1223 00:45:34,390 --> 00:45:33,040 point on would i just work with the 1224 00:45:35,510 --> 00:45:34,400 lovecraftian 1225 00:45:37,190 --> 00:45:35,520 entities 1226 00:45:39,829 --> 00:45:37,200 okay so the point being here is you're 1227 00:45:41,829 --> 00:45:39,839 not assuming any particular explanation 1228 00:45:43,829 --> 00:45:41,839 for this stuff you're just saying this 1229 00:45:45,750 --> 00:45:43,839 is what happened and i don't know 1230 00:45:48,230 --> 00:45:45,760 well i can't really because there's no 1231 00:45:50,230 --> 00:45:48,240 way to empirically prove i can't really 1232 00:45:52,069 --> 00:45:50,240 prove the ontological existence of 1233 00:45:53,670 --> 00:45:52,079 anything that i deal with you know i 1234 00:45:55,670 --> 00:45:53,680 really can't there's no we don't have 1235 00:45:57,430 --> 00:45:55,680 any mechanism for measuring that we 1236 00:45:59,430 --> 00:45:57,440 don't have any mechanism for measuring 1237 00:46:01,430 --> 00:45:59,440 magic you know whether magic works you 1238 00:46:03,589 --> 00:46:01,440 know so i can't really account for now 1239 00:46:05,990 --> 00:46:03,599 uh magical practitioners have their own 1240 00:46:07,349 --> 00:46:06,000 theories about what's going on and a lot 1241 00:46:09,190 --> 00:46:07,359 of them claim that you're you're doing 1242 00:46:11,990 --> 00:46:09,200 something on the astral plane you're 1243 00:46:13,589 --> 00:46:12,000 manipulating ether or you're accessing 1244 00:46:15,829 --> 00:46:13,599 through kind of a pseudo time you're 1245 00:46:18,550 --> 00:46:15,839 accessing things that already exist on 1246 00:46:21,030 --> 00:46:18,560 the astral plane like god's demons your 1247 00:46:22,630 --> 00:46:21,040 spirits or something like that and they 1248 00:46:24,230 --> 00:46:22,640 can have any kind of explanation they 1249 00:46:24,950 --> 00:46:24,240 want for this kind of thing the problem 1250 00:46:27,670 --> 00:46:24,960 is 1251 00:46:29,510 --> 00:46:27,680 there's no way to empirically verify yes 1252 00:46:32,230 --> 00:46:29,520 so i can't really prove anything that's 1253 00:46:34,790 --> 00:46:32,240 happening you know so i try and leave 1254 00:46:37,190 --> 00:46:34,800 my uh definitions of what i think is 1255 00:46:39,430 --> 00:46:37,200 going on just i kind of leave it at the 1256 00:46:41,190 --> 00:46:39,440 door basically what i'm interested in is 1257 00:46:43,670 --> 00:46:41,200 if i do a magical experience and i 1258 00:46:45,670 --> 00:46:43,680 gained some kind knowledge of power 1259 00:46:47,109 --> 00:46:45,680 which is what gnosis is magical 1260 00:46:49,030 --> 00:46:47,119 experience 1261 00:46:50,950 --> 00:46:49,040 and then i have some kind of outcome or 1262 00:46:52,630 --> 00:46:50,960 some kind of result you know then that's 1263 00:46:54,309 --> 00:46:52,640 all i really care about like when you go 1264 00:46:56,790 --> 00:46:54,319 and you turn on the switch the electric 1265 00:46:59,109 --> 00:46:56,800 switch right you don't have to know 1266 00:47:02,309 --> 00:46:59,119 circuit breakers or what goes on in the 1267 00:47:04,069 --> 00:47:02,319 lines outside your house or a b or d c 1268 00:47:06,309 --> 00:47:04,079 circuits or whatever nonsense like that 1269 00:47:07,750 --> 00:47:06,319 all you want to do is turn the switch on 1270 00:47:09,589 --> 00:47:07,760 if the lights come on that's your 1271 00:47:11,190 --> 00:47:09,599 objective right well that's the way i've 1272 00:47:13,190 --> 00:47:11,200 been viewing magic over the years you 1273 00:47:15,750 --> 00:47:13,200 know if i get some kind of result and 1274 00:47:16,550 --> 00:47:15,760 i'm satisfied with it then i'm fine with 1275 00:47:19,190 --> 00:47:16,560 that 1276 00:47:21,670 --> 00:47:19,200 now obviously people who have heard 1277 00:47:24,069 --> 00:47:21,680 about what magicians can do may see 1278 00:47:27,510 --> 00:47:24,079 magicians at work on fictional tv shows 1279 00:47:29,829 --> 00:47:27,520 like once upon a time or the magicians 1280 00:47:32,150 --> 00:47:29,839 which is an interesting tv show i think 1281 00:47:34,309 --> 00:47:32,160 what he's referring to is actually 1282 00:47:36,309 --> 00:47:34,319 practicing high magic in the western 1283 00:47:37,270 --> 00:47:36,319 esoteric tradition what i'm saying to 1284 00:47:39,270 --> 00:47:37,280 you is 1285 00:47:41,910 --> 00:47:39,280 you have tv shows here 1286 00:47:43,990 --> 00:47:41,920 that pretend magic people altering their 1287 00:47:46,069 --> 00:47:44,000 realities creating spells that kind of 1288 00:47:48,630 --> 00:47:46,079 thing magicians do that sort of thing we 1289 00:47:51,030 --> 00:47:48,640 do spells we do spells and those are for 1290 00:47:52,790 --> 00:47:51,040 immediate results the only difference is 1291 00:47:55,030 --> 00:47:52,800 usually in those magical shows now i 1292 00:47:57,190 --> 00:47:55,040 haven't watched the magicians but i've 1293 00:47:59,109 --> 00:47:57,200 watched like shows i saw doctor strange 1294 00:48:01,349 --> 00:47:59,119 here that that movie doctor stranger the 1295 00:48:03,589 --> 00:48:01,359 other day that was an interesting movie 1296 00:48:05,750 --> 00:48:03,599 but that's very similar to a lot of the 1297 00:48:07,670 --> 00:48:05,760 magical movies too because that one they 1298 00:48:10,150 --> 00:48:07,680 actually do manipulate the astral plane 1299 00:48:11,589 --> 00:48:10,160 so they're actually uh and they can uh 1300 00:48:13,510 --> 00:48:11,599 manipulate time they can't really 1301 00:48:15,030 --> 00:48:13,520 manipulate real time because there is no 1302 00:48:16,550 --> 00:48:15,040 such thing as real time i mean we all 1303 00:48:18,390 --> 00:48:16,560 live in the presence we can think about 1304 00:48:20,069 --> 00:48:18,400 the past or the future but we can't 1305 00:48:22,069 --> 00:48:20,079 really go there we have to go into some 1306 00:48:24,230 --> 00:48:22,079 kind of pseudo time and they kind of hit 1307 00:48:26,069 --> 00:48:24,240 that a little bit in doctor strange they 1308 00:48:27,990 --> 00:48:26,079 have like little different dimensions 1309 00:48:30,390 --> 00:48:28,000 like the mirror dimensions and stuff and 1310 00:48:32,710 --> 00:48:30,400 then he does manipulate time at the end 1311 00:48:34,390 --> 00:48:32,720 of it and so magicians do cast spells 1312 00:48:35,990 --> 00:48:34,400 and they do those sorts of things but 1313 00:48:37,910 --> 00:48:36,000 you notice the thing they always leave 1314 00:48:39,750 --> 00:48:37,920 out of it and this is central to magical 1315 00:48:41,670 --> 00:48:39,760 practice and they always leave this out 1316 00:48:43,910 --> 00:48:41,680 of those kind of magic movies or tv 1317 00:48:45,510 --> 00:48:43,920 shows and the harry potter ones too i 1318 00:48:47,430 --> 00:48:45,520 mean they do spells there and sometimes 1319 00:48:49,510 --> 00:48:47,440 they put them in kind of latin and they 1320 00:48:50,790 --> 00:48:49,520 weighed the one so it's kind of similar 1321 00:48:53,349 --> 00:48:50,800 but they always leave the 1322 00:48:55,109 --> 00:48:53,359 extraterrestrial entities out and those 1323 00:48:57,990 --> 00:48:55,119 are actually the engine or the feel of 1324 00:49:01,270 --> 00:48:58,000 the magical ritual i define magic as the 1325 00:49:03,750 --> 00:49:01,280 use of language gestures symbolic 1326 00:49:06,309 --> 00:49:03,760 objects and stylized settings for 1327 00:49:08,549 --> 00:49:06,319 achieving contact with extraterrestrial 1328 00:49:10,390 --> 00:49:08,559 entities well first of all let's look at 1329 00:49:12,790 --> 00:49:10,400 that definition of magic 1330 00:49:15,510 --> 00:49:12,800 i i think the the accepted 1331 00:49:18,230 --> 00:49:15,520 i guess definition at least in my 1332 00:49:20,549 --> 00:49:18,240 experience would be magic is causing 1333 00:49:22,470 --> 00:49:20,559 change and conformity to will yeah 1334 00:49:23,670 --> 00:49:22,480 that's aleister crowley's definition and 1335 00:49:25,510 --> 00:49:23,680 you know what's funny about that 1336 00:49:27,589 --> 00:49:25,520 aleister crowley does say that but think 1337 00:49:29,750 --> 00:49:27,599 about that definition for a minute he's 1338 00:49:31,430 --> 00:49:29,760 saying change it take care conform your 1339 00:49:33,589 --> 00:49:31,440 will like right now i'm picking up a 1340 00:49:35,349 --> 00:49:33,599 piece of paper right so it's my will to 1341 00:49:36,870 --> 00:49:35,359 pick up the paper and i've changed it i 1342 00:49:39,030 --> 00:49:36,880 picked up the paper i could crumble the 1343 00:49:41,190 --> 00:49:39,040 paper up right so when i pick up a paper 1344 00:49:43,510 --> 00:49:41,200 and crumbled up i'm affecting change in 1345 00:49:45,030 --> 00:49:43,520 conformity or will right that's a very 1346 00:49:46,870 --> 00:49:45,040 broad definition 1347 00:49:49,430 --> 00:49:46,880 and secondly if you look at aleister 1348 00:49:51,910 --> 00:49:49,440 crowley despite that definition when he 1349 00:49:54,150 --> 00:49:51,920 did magic he was always interested in 1350 00:49:56,069 --> 00:49:54,160 achieving contact with extraterrestrial 1351 00:49:57,829 --> 00:49:56,079 entities that was the engine for all of 1352 00:50:00,230 --> 00:49:57,839 his magic that's where the book of the 1353 00:50:03,349 --> 00:50:00,240 law came from that fueled all of his 1354 00:50:06,309 --> 00:50:03,359 magical powers let's talk about lamb 1355 00:50:07,270 --> 00:50:06,319 the first depiction of a gray big-headed 1356 00:50:11,510 --> 00:50:07,280 uh 1357 00:50:13,510 --> 00:50:11,520 sketch that he drew 1358 00:50:15,750 --> 00:50:13,520 yeah lamb i i ain't catching for me yeah 1359 00:50:17,990 --> 00:50:15,760 a lamb some people associate that with 1360 00:50:20,069 --> 00:50:18,000 aleister crowley's higher self or holy 1361 00:50:22,230 --> 00:50:20,079 guardian angel but look at that like he 1362 00:50:23,990 --> 00:50:22,240 conju he says the first thing and he has 1363 00:50:25,910 --> 00:50:24,000 a very narrow definition in the book 1364 00:50:27,910 --> 00:50:25,920 magic by the way despite the change in 1365 00:50:30,470 --> 00:50:27,920 conformity or will if you read further 1366 00:50:33,270 --> 00:50:30,480 into that book his definition is so the 1367 00:50:35,030 --> 00:50:33,280 primary magical ritual is to achieve 1368 00:50:36,950 --> 00:50:35,040 contact with your higher self where he 1369 00:50:39,109 --> 00:50:36,960 called it the holy guardian angel that's 1370 00:50:41,190 --> 00:50:39,119 an extraterrestrial entity and you'll 1371 00:50:42,870 --> 00:50:41,200 find that all magical practices i don't 1372 00:50:46,150 --> 00:50:42,880 care who they are they could be chaos 1373 00:50:49,030 --> 00:50:46,160 magicians they could be voodoos they 1374 00:50:51,829 --> 00:50:49,040 could be typhonian people they could be 1375 00:50:54,230 --> 00:50:51,839 the wiccans they could be any number of 1376 00:50:56,470 --> 00:50:54,240 different magical groups of sameness 1377 00:50:57,710 --> 00:50:56,480 it's always boils down to achieving 1378 00:51:00,390 --> 00:50:57,720 contact with some kind of 1379 00:51:01,430 --> 00:51:00,400 extraterrestrial entity because this is 1380 00:51:03,589 --> 00:51:01,440 more 1381 00:51:05,750 --> 00:51:03,599 than i usually expect when we have a 1382 00:51:08,230 --> 00:51:05,760 discussion of

00:54:46,640 think of something some ontological 1467 00:54:50,309 --> 00:54:49,040 creature that's of some kind of form and 1468 00:54:52,549 --> 00:54:50,319 substance at least it's kind of 1469

his 1472 00:54:59,430 --> 00:54:57,440 stories where these alien beings 1473 00:55:00,870 --> 00:54:59,440 colonize the earth in the past and 1474 00:55:02,630 --> 00:55:00,880 they're still living here in hidden in a 1475 00:55:05,030 --> 00:55:02,640 remote place and they actually kind of 1476 00:55:06,870 --> 00:55:05,040 jump jump start the evolution of mankind 1477 00:55:08,230 --> 00:55:06,880 that's where the whole alien astronaut 1478 00:55:10,470 --> 00:55:08,240 theory got started by the way it got 1479 00:55:11,829 --> 00:55:10,480 started with lovecraft people like eric 1480 00:55:13,829 --> 00:55:11,839 von daniken 1481 00:55:14,549 --> 00:55:13,839 and then paulie and berger who were two 1482 00:55:16,150 --> 00:55:14,559 friends 1483 00:55:18,069 --> 00:55:16,160 there were others there were others not 1484 00:55:20,470 --> 00:55:18,079 only there were others lebrinzia the 1485 00:55:22,630 --> 00:55:20,480 poor trench you know even geez 1486 00:55:24,309 --> 00:55:22,640 churchwood looking at the maya you know 1487 00:55:26,549 --> 00:55:24,319 where it started our lovecraft stuff was 1488 00:55:29,349 --> 00:55:26,559 written like in the uh late twenties and 1489 00:55:31,270 --> 00:55:29,359 the thirties he died in 1937. he has a 1490 00:55:33,510 --> 00:55:31,280 lot of stories like the cough cathedral 1491 00:55:35,190 --> 00:55:33,520 shadow of time where he actually talks 1492 00:55:37,349 --> 00:55:35,200 about the alien astronauts and this was 1493 00:55:39,270 --> 00:55:37,359 picked up by two guys named pauline 1494 00:55:40,710 --> 00:55:39,280 berger frenchman in the 60s and they 1495 00:55:41,910 --> 00:55:40,720 published the morning of the magicians 1496 00:55:43,910 --> 00:55:41,920 and they're the first people that 1497 00:55:46,069 --> 00:55:43,920 actually formally postulate that alien 1498 00:55:48,710 --> 00:55:46,079 astronaut theory and then these other 1499 00:55:49,990 --> 00:55:48,720 guys picked it up like robert chiro did 1500 00:55:52,630 --> 00:55:50,000 life for the masters of the world that 1501 00:55:54,950 --> 00:55:52,640 was in 1967 1502 00:55:57,430 --> 00:55:54,960 i think and popularized it and then eric 1503 00:55:58,950 --> 00:55:57,440 von danican came along 71 he popularized 1504 00:56:00,950 --> 00:55:58,960 everything and what's interesting about 1505 00:56:03,030 --> 00:56:00,960 him in the introduction to that book he 1506 00:56:05,349 --> 00:56:03,040 mentions that he's trying to answer 1507 00:56:07,030 --> 00:56:05,359 questions posed by those people those 1508 00:56:08,630 --> 00:56:07,040 other people that i mentioned so that 1509 00:56:10,870 --> 00:56:08,640 started everything then you have robert 1510 00:56:12,630 --> 00:56:10,880 temple coming along with a serious 1511 00:56:15,109 --> 00:56:12,640 mystery and then of course you did have 1512 00:56:17,510 --> 00:56:15,119 church word and then you had the move 1513 00:56:18,950 --> 00:56:17,520 and all those kind the atlantis and all 1514 00:56:20,630 --> 00:56:18,960 that kind of stuff but lovecraft 1515 00:56:22,390 --> 00:56:20,640 actually was a progenitor of that 1516 00:56:23,990 --> 00:56:22,400 there's actually a good book on that by 1517 00:56:25,910 --> 00:56:24,000 the way written by a guy that's a 1518 00:56:28,069 --> 00:56:25,920 notorious skeptic but he is called the 1519 00:56:30,230 --> 00:56:28,079 cult of alien gods and he traces it 1520 00:56:32,069 --> 00:56:30,240 pretty well in that book i leave this 1521 00:56:33,349 --> 00:56:32,079 open here because i don't really care 1522 00:56:35,670 --> 00:56:33,359 how you interpret them now in 1523 00:56:37,589 --> 00:56:35,680 lovecraft's work you have all three 1524 00:56:39,990 --> 00:56:37,599 kinds of extraterrestrial entities and 1525 00:56:41,430 --> 00:56:40,000 these are the three that i mentioned i i 1526 00:56:43,829 --> 00:56:41,440 kind of boiled down to you've got the 1527 00:56:46,309 --> 00:56:43,839 aliens living on other planets and then 1528 00:56:47,829 --> 00:56:46,319 you've got the interdimensional entities 1529 00:56:49,349 --> 00:56:47,839 and lovecraft allows for this 1530 00:56:51,670 --> 00:56:49,359 possibility too they're just simply 1531 00:56:53,750 --> 00:56:51,680 things they're in your own mind and when 1532 00:56:55,670 --> 00:56:53,760 you do the magical rituals you're 1533 00:56:57,349 --> 00:56:55,680 actually accessing higher powers in your 1534 00:56:59,910 --> 00:56:57,359 mind somebody could claim that aleister 1535 00:57:02,549 --> 00:56:59,920 crowley's holy guardian angel was 1536 00:57:04,230 --> 00:57:02,559 actually crawling himself just kind of 1537 00:57:06,789 --> 00:57:04,240 in his own mind the way they perceived 1538 00:57:08,870 --> 00:57:06,799 himself so i leave open all three of 1539 00:57:11,270 --> 00:57:08,880 those views and we see those three views 1540 00:57:12,390 --> 00:57:11,280 in lovecraft's work and i personally 1541 00:57:14,549 --> 00:57:12,400 don't care 1542 00:57:16,789 --> 00:57:14,559 how you want to interpret them like i 1543 00:57:18,470 --> 00:57:16,799 said before the magic works it works by 1544 00:57:20,789 --> 00:57:18,480 i'll tell you one thing it needs an 1545 00:57:22,950 --> 00:57:20,799 engine to work and the engines are the 1546 00:57:24,789 --> 00:57:22,960 extraterrestrial entities however you 1547 00:57:27,030 --> 00:57:24,799 define them and that's the one thing 1548 00:57:29,910 --> 00:57:27,040 that's missing from these tv shows from 1549 00:57:32,470 --> 00:57:29,920 the doctor strange too magic's not being 1550 00:57:34,150 --> 00:57:32,480 fueled by that it's not really explained 1551 00:57:36,150 --> 00:57:34,160 how it's being filled like in the doctor 1552 00:57:38,549 --> 00:57:36,160 strange one he just kind of learns how 1553 00:57:40,390 --> 00:57:38,559 to manipulate the astral and then he 1554 00:57:42,309 --> 00:57:40,400 kind of learns magic he has kind of 1555 00:57:44,230 --> 00:57:42,319 aptitude for but they never explain 1556 00:57:46,390 --> 00:57:44,240 where that magic comes from you're 1557 00:57:48,950 --> 00:57:46,400 putting the astral then on another 1558 00:57:50,789 --> 00:57:48,960 planet i don't really know what the 1559 00:57:52,710 --> 00:57:50,799 astral plane is if you want my honest 1560 00:57:55,270 --> 00:57:52,720 opinion the magicians postulate the 1561 00:57:57,510 --> 00:57:55,280 astro you've got like the care they all 1562 00:57:59,589 --> 00:57:57,520 postulate they postulate like a mental 1563 00:58:02,230 --> 00:57:59,599 plane is supposed to be beyond time and 1564 00:58:04,710 --> 00:58:02,240 space and that's where we formulate 1565 00:58:06,549 --> 00:58:04,720 ideas the gods live there according 1566 00:58:09,109 --> 00:58:06,559 traditional theory the gods live beyond 1567 00:58:10,870 --> 00:58:09,119 time and space in some kind mental plane 1568 00:58:12,549 --> 00:58:10,880 and that we can connect to it and then 1569 00:58:13,990 --> 00:58:12,559 what happens when you call an entity it 1570 00:58:16,390 --> 00:58:14,000 comes to the astral plane that's the 1571 00:58:18,710 --> 00:58:16,400 second level of reality and then at that 1572 00:58:20,710 --> 00:58:18,720 point either mass less than the astral 1573 00:58:22,470 --> 00:58:20,720 plane or in the physical plane and 1574 00:58:25,030 --> 00:58:22,480 you're manipulating the astral at that 1575 00:58:27,270 --> 00:58:25,040 point so the ante comes to that plane 1576 00:58:28,870 --> 00:58:27,280 the chaos magicians have an interesting 1577 00:58:30,230 --> 00:58:28,880 theory they've got the same levels but 1578 00:58:32,549 --> 00:58:30,240 they don't believe that it's a mental 1579 00:58:35,190 --> 00:58:32,559 plane they believe it's primary reality 1580 00:58:36,789 --> 00:58:35,200 and there are no gods in primary reality 1581 00:58:39,030 --> 00:58:36,799 you could say it's god but it's actually 1582 00:58:40,870 --> 00:58:39,040 the void of chaos gods don't happen 1583 00:58:43,030 --> 00:58:40,880 until you get to the astral plane and 1584 00:58:45,270 --> 00:58:43,040 then the way the chaos magicians view it 1585 00:58:47,589 --> 00:58:45,280 those are all egregors which are 1586 00:58:49,510 --> 00:58:47,599 actually self-created entities and some 1587 00:58:51,109 --> 00:58:49,520 of them have been out there a long time 1588 00:58:53,190 --> 00:58:51,119 and someone didn't worship the chaos 1589 00:58:55,829 --> 00:58:53,200 magicians who say god himself the god of 1590 00:58:57,589 --> 00:58:55,839 abraham jehovah is actually in egregor 1591 00:58:59,829 --> 00:58:57,599 it was created a long time ago and has 1592 00:59:01,750 --> 00:58:59,839 just drawn power from the fact that all 1593 00:59:04,309 --> 00:59:01,760 these churches and all these worshipers 1594 00:59:06,230 --> 00:59:04,319 believe in and so it's actually achieved 1595 00:59:08,069 --> 00:59:06,240 some kind of level of reality now but 1596 00:59:10,630 --> 00:59:08,079 the chaos magicians would say that none 1597 00:59:12,230 --> 00:59:10,640 of these have any absolute reality 1598 00:59:14,870 --> 00:59:12,240 anything on the asteroid does not have 1599 00:59:16,549 --> 00:59:14,880 absolute reality human beings don't have 1600 00:59:18,390 --> 00:59:16,559 absolute reality and our minds don't 1601 00:59:20,710 --> 00:59:18,400 have absolute reality you know so they 1602 00:59:22,069 --> 00:59:20,720 would argue the traditional would argue 1603 00:59:23,750 --> 00:59:22,079 that we're actually dealing with things 1604 00:59:25,670 --> 00:59:23,760 that live on the astral plane or at 1605 00:59:27,990 --> 00:59:25,680 least come to the astral plane but you 1606 00:59:29,910 --> 00:59:28,000 can't quantify any of that kind of stuff 1607 00:59:32,150 --> 00:59:29,920 i mean you could say that there are 1608 00:59:34,069 --> 00:59:32,160 entities living in the mental level or 1609 00:59:35,910 --> 00:59:34,079 in the primary level or you could say 1610 00:59:37,910 --> 00:59:35,920 there are entities living on the astral 1611 00:59:39,510 --> 00:59:37,920 plane or you could even say their 1612 00:59:41,670 --> 00:59:39,520 manifest in the physical plane which is 1613 00:59:43,589 --> 00:59:41,680 what aliens would be but there's no real 1614 00:59:45,990 --> 00:59:43,599 way to qualify there to say for sure 1615 00:59:48,710 --> 00:59:46,000 what's happening i'm trying to put all 1616 00:59:51,670 --> 00:59:48,720 this together we have maybe another 1617 00:59:53,190 --> 00:59:51,680 plane another dimension we've got e.t so 1618 00:59:55,270 --> 00:59:53,200 let's talk about e.t a little bit 1619 00:59:58,309 --> 00:59:55,280 because i think we're kind of losing 1620 01:00:00,230 --> 00:59:58,319 focus on that so are we talking about 1621 01:00:02,390 --> 01:00:00,240 physical entities that live on another 1622 01:00:03,349 --> 01:00:02,400 planet maybe in another star system is 1623 01:00:04,710 --> 01:00:03,359 that what we're talking about when we 1624 01:00:06,390 --> 01:00:04,720 talk about e.t 1625 01:00:08,710 --> 01:00:06,400 it's very possible that's what we're 1626 01:00:10,789 --> 01:00:08,720 talking about no way to verify that 1627 01:00:12,630 --> 01:00:10,799 though okay but i'm trying to find the 1628 01:00:14,230 --> 01:00:12,640 connection of why this is assumed i know 1629 01:00:15,109 --> 01:00:14,240 about the ancient astronauts and you 1630 01:00:16,870 --> 01:00:15,119 mentioned 1631 01:00:18,950 --> 01:00:16,880 von danika and all the other people of 1632 01:00:20,789 --> 01:00:18,960 course desmond leslie who wrote the 1633 01:00:23,349 --> 01:00:20,799 introduction to flying saucers have 1634 01:00:25,430 --> 01:00:23,359 landed the george adamski contact book 1635 01:00:27,030 --> 01:00:25,440 also wrote about those things so this is 1636 01:00:28,870 --> 01:00:27,040 something we've talked about for a long 1637 01:00:31,910 --> 01:00:28,880 time and we like to think about the 1638 01:00:35,190 --> 01:00:31,920 interactions but part of it is 1639 01:00:37,990 --> 01:00:35,200 would we as arthur clark has said in so 1640 01:00:40,870 --> 01:00:38,000 many words view this advanced technology 1641 01:00:42,549 --> 01:00:40,880 as expressions of magic it may just be 1642 01:00:44,470 --> 01:00:42,559 highly advanced beings from other 1643 01:00:47,349 --> 01:00:44,480 planets can do amazing things with their 1644 01:00:50,150 --> 01:00:47,359 technology and we look at them 1645 01:00:51,430 --> 01:00:50,160 in their reality bending ways as 1646 01:00:53,910 --> 01:00:51,440 magicians 1647 01:00:56,710 --> 01:00:53,920 well you know how i view it i am not so 1648 01:00:58,150 --> 01:00:56,720 sure that we're actually asking the 1649 01:01:00,470 --> 01:00:58,160 right questions sometimes this is going 1650 01:01:02,470 --> 01:01:00,480 to get a little strange or if we really 1651 01:01:04,710 --> 01:01:02,480 know what the proper questions are i 1652 01:01:06,549 --> 01:01:04,720 know it's it's comforting to kind of 1653 01:01:08,470 --> 01:01:06,559 think that you know there are higher 1654 01:01:10,150 --> 01:01:08,480 beings they have better technology 1655 01:01:11,910 --> 01:01:10,160 they're more cognitively developed and 1656 01:01:13,270 --> 01:01:11,920 that's kind of a nice thought you know 1657 01:01:14,870 --> 01:01:13,280 they're out there because then they can 1658 01:01:16,950 --> 01:01:14,880 help us or they can mentor us or 1659 01:01:18,549 --> 01:01:16,960 something like that but i'm not so sure 1660 01:01:20,630 --> 01:01:18,559 you know when i look at the experiences 1661 01:01:22,710 --> 01:01:20,640 like the magical experiences and the 1662 01:01:24,870 --> 01:01:22,720 weird interpenetrating of reality which 1663 01:01:27,109 --> 01:01:24,880 is very similar to like the way quantum 1664 01:01:29,190 --> 01:01:27,119 physics describes the reality at the 1665 01:01:31,030 --> 01:01:29,200 subatomic level it's very similar to 1666 01:01:32,630 --> 01:01:31,040 that when you do magical experiences and 1667 01:01:35,030 --> 01:01:32,640 a lot of the experiences i've read that 1668 01:01:37,109 --> 01:01:35,040 people have had they've contacted aliens 1669 01:01:39,750 --> 01:01:37,119 the experiences are very similar to that 1670 01:01:42,150 --> 01:01:39,760 too there does seem to be like almost a 1671 01:01:44,950 --> 01:01:42,160 magical compound to that as well and i'm 1672 01:01:47,190 --> 01:01:44,960 not sure exactly what's happening here 1673 01:01:49,030 --> 01:01:47,200 but what i think it is is the question 1674 01:01:51,190 --> 01:01:49,040 that we should be asking is like it's 1675 01:01:52,950 --> 01:01:51,200 just a change in perception basically 1676 01:01:54,950 --> 01:01:52,960 see quantum physics has one really 1677 01:01:58,150 --> 01:01:54,960 interesting rule whatever is not 1678 01:02:00,390 --> 01:01:58,160 forbidden is compulsory and what that 1679 01:02:02,789 --> 01:02:00,400 means at the subatomic level if a 1680 01:02:04,789 --> 01:02:02,799 particle can do one thing that has to do 1681 01:02:06,710 --> 01:02:04,799 everything else they can do 1682 01:02:08,710 --> 01:02:06,720 and the way that i interpret that that 1683 01:02:10,630 --> 01:02:08,720 means there are different dimensions and 1684 01:02:12,710 --> 01:02:10,640 there are different perceptions and what 1685 01:02:14,549 --> 01:02:12,720 we do with magic we train ourselves to 1686 01:02:16,549 --> 01:02:14,559 perceive things differently and then 1687 01:02:18,150 --> 01:02:16,559 when we perceive it differently the way 1688 01:02:21,109 --> 01:02:18,160 we've been conditioned we're being 1689 01:02:22,950 --> 01:02:21,119 exposed to something but our minds 1690 01:02:25,430 --> 01:02:22,960 aren't quite there yet our minds are 1691 01:02:27,510 --> 01:02:25,440 still stuck in the way of viewing things 1692 01:02:29,589 --> 01:02:27,520 that we were at before and then we try 1693 01:02:31,430 --> 01:02:29,599 and fill it up with images to make sense 1694 01:02:33,190 --> 01:02:31,440 of what we're seeing and i think that 1695 01:02:35,430 --> 01:02:33,200 sometimes when we fill up our mind with 1696 01:02:38,230 --> 01:02:35,440 what we think we're seeing we sometimes 1697 01:02:40,470 --> 01:02:38,240 see e.t as you call it we sometimes see 1698 01:02:43,430 --> 01:02:40,480 the great old one 1699 01:02:45,030 --> 01:02:43,440 or yog-sothoth or we just see like 1700 01:02:46,950 --> 01:02:45,040 things in our own mind that we know 1701 01:02:49,670 --> 01:02:46,960 we've created our own mind so it's 1702 01:02:52,630 --> 01:02:49,680 something that i really can't quantify 1703 01:02:54,230 --> 01:02:52,640 or actually uh explain fully and i don't 1704 01:02:56,230 --> 01:02:54,240 know if that helps you now i don't view 1705 01:02:58,710 --> 01:02:56,240 them as all distinct things so i view 1706 01:03:01,510 --> 01:02:58,720 them as all being kind of co-penetrating 1707 01:03:02,789 --> 01:03:01,520 or coexisting in some kind of fashion 1708 01:03:05,190 --> 01:03:02,799 all right fair enough we're not going to 1709 01:03:07,030 --> 01:03:05,200 try to get you to prove that e.t exists 1710 01:03:09,109 --> 01:03:07,040 we have no idea what form they would 1711 01:03:10,789 --> 01:03:09,119 take and it may also be is we've 1712 01:03:13,510 --> 01:03:10,799 suggested here in the power cast that 1713 01:03:16,390 --> 01:03:13,520 what we see is ufos doesn't represent 1714 01:03:18,789 --> 01:03:16,400 the real phenomenon it's just our 1715 01:03:20,470 --> 01:03:18,799 puny or primitive minds trying to cope 1716 01:03:21,910 --> 01:03:20,480 with something so far beyond our 1717 01:03:24,950 --> 01:03:21,920 understanding 1718 01:03:27,589 --> 01:03:24,960 that we use our cultural conditioning 1719 01:03:29,990 --> 01:03:27,599 to make them appear into something that 1720 01:03:31,589 --> 01:03:30,000 makes sense we've got more to come with 1721 01:03:34,230 --> 01:03:31,599 john stedman 1722 01:03:37,190 --> 01:03:34,240 and the book is called hp lovecraft and 1723 01:03:40,470 -->

01:03:43,680 truths in what he says and i also want 1727 01:03:47,990 --> 01:03:45,760 to talk about some of the beings that he 1728 01:03:49,510 --> 01:03:48,000 mentions in his novels 1729

01:08:53,910 --> 01:08:50,880 that lovecraft had it right and that is 1855 01:08:56,070 --> 01:08:53,920 a guy who was popular in the 40s and had 1856 01:08:59,430 --> 01:08:56,080 kind of a cult following in the 50s 60s 1857 01:09:01,349 --> 01:08:59,440 until he died in the 70s richard shaver 1858 01:09:03,669 --> 01:09:01,359 ever hear of him 1859 01:09:04,630 --> 01:09:03,679 no i haven't okay he worked with ray 1860 01:09:06,789 --> 01:09:04,640 palmer 1861 01:09:08,950 --> 01:09:06,799 at amazing stories magazine 1862 01:09:11,510 --> 01:09:08,960 and they had written fictional stories 1863 01:09:14,950 --> 01:09:11,520 about an under earth civilization 1864 01:09:18,229 --> 01:09:14,960 going back to the murian times 1865 01:09:21,590 --> 01:09:18,239 involving two races diros and teros 1866 01:09:23,990 --> 01:09:21,600 deros being the bad guys the evil ones 1867 01:09:26,070 --> 01:09:24,000 and tiros being the good guys 1868 01:09:29,189 --> 01:09:26,080 and shavers said 1869 01:09:30,229 --> 01:09:29,199 that lovecraft in his fiction 1870 01:09:33,349 --> 01:09:30,239 was 1871 01:09:34,950 --> 01:09:33,359 using this factual basis 1872 01:09:36,149 --> 01:09:34,960 in some of the creatures he talked about 1873 01:09:37,590 --> 01:09:36,159 what do you think 1874 01:09:38,870 --> 01:09:37,600 well i never heard that but you know 1875 01:09:40,709 --> 01:09:38,880 there are people are always reading 1876 01:09:42,390 --> 01:09:40,719 stuff like this into lovecraft lovecraft 1877 01:09:44,390 --> 01:09:42,400 was an atheist he didn't believe in gods 1878 01:09:46,470 --> 01:09:44,400 because he didn't believe in like 1879 01:09:48,870 --> 01:09:46,480 ultimate good or ultimate evil he 1880 01:09:51,349 --> 01:09:48,880 believed in cosmicism basically what he 1881 01:09:53,829 --> 01:09:51,359 thought was her cosmic indifferentism he 1882 01:09:56,550 --> 01:09:53,839 felt that the universe was indifferent 1883 01:09:58,070 --> 01:09:56,560 to mankind and that there was no purpose 1884 01:10:00,390 --> 01:09:58,080 to life at all and there were no such 1885 01:10:02,229 --> 01:10:00,400 thing as supernatural gods or gods and 1886 01:10:04,709 --> 01:10:02,239 he didn't believe in good or evil now in 1887 01:10:06,790 --> 01:10:04,719 his stories uh he'll have characters 1888 01:10:09,030 --> 01:10:06,800 that'll say something's evil or 1889 01:10:10,950 --> 01:10:09,040 something's blasphemous or horrible so 1890 01:10:13,030 --> 01:10:10,960 he'll use the terminology of good or 1891 01:10:15,510 --> 01:10:13,040 evil but there is a really christian 1892 01:10:17,510 --> 01:10:15,520 dichotomy in lovecraft his best friend 1893 01:10:19,669 --> 01:10:17,520 august durley tried to read it in there 1894 01:10:21,990 --> 01:10:19,679 when he did his own cthulhu mythos 1895 01:10:23,910 --> 01:10:22,000 stories you know but it's just not there 1896 01:10:26,149 --> 01:10:23,920 you know there is no good or evil and 1897 01:10:28,790 --> 01:10:26,159 lovecraft and what you've got to realize 1898 01:10:30,550 --> 01:10:28,800 is that lovecraft is way before his time 1899 01:10:32,709 --> 01:10:30,560 i think he's still totally relevant for 1900 01:10:35,110 --> 01:10:32,719 the 21st century not just because of 1901 01:10:37,510 --> 01:10:35,120 quantum physics but the way he views 1902 01:10:39,750 --> 01:10:37,520 reality and in fact he's getting people 1903 01:10:43,270 --> 01:10:39,760 there recognizing that now there's a guy 1904 01:10:45,030 --> 01:10:43,280 in egypt he's a provost in the uh at the 1905 01:10:47,669 --> 01:10:45,040 american university in cairo he's a 1906 01:10:49,830 --> 01:10:47,679 philosopher he's a speculative realist 1907 01:10:51,830 --> 01:10:49,840 and he's actually ranking lovecraft up 1908 01:10:53,110 --> 01:10:51,840 there with people like uh martin 1909 01:10:55,669 --> 01:10:53,120 heidegger 1910 01:10:57,590 --> 01:10:55,679 and uh picasso you know who were both 1911 01:10:59,990 --> 01:10:57,600 two great thinkers about 1912 01:11:02,390 --> 01:11:00,000 the philosophy of the nature of being in 1913 01:11:04,790 --> 01:11:02,400 existence and he puts lovecraft up there 1914 01:11:07,590 --> 01:11:04,800 but what lovecraft argues is that 1915 01:11:09,590 --> 01:11:07,600 reality is actually incommensurable with 1916 01:11:12,149 --> 01:11:09,600 any attempt that we can represent or 1917 01:11:13,590 --> 01:11:12,159 even conceive of it and uh the human 1918 01:11:14,950 --> 01:11:13,600 century keeps getting away and that's 1919 01:11:16,630 --> 01:11:14,960 where the good of evil comes from 1920 01:11:18,709 --> 01:11:16,640 because of human century you ever know 1921 01:11:21,189 --> 01:11:18,719 it's like hollywood or do a movie like 1922 01:11:23,510 --> 01:11:21,199 the independence day it'll be evil the 1923 01:11:25,590 --> 01:11:23,520 evil aliens and what do they do they 1924 01:11:27,830 --> 01:11:25,600 conceive of evil aliens is things that 1925 01:11:29,350 --> 01:11:27,840 we find repugnant big lizards or 1926 01:11:31,669 --> 01:11:29,360 tentacles or something like that and 1927 01:11:33,430 --> 01:11:31,679 then when they do a nice alien and alien 1928 01:11:35,189 --> 01:11:33,440 coming to help us they always make him 1929 01:11:38,070 --> 01:11:35,199 kind of charming he always looks like a 1930 01:11:40,390 --> 01:11:38,080 human a slightly more educated or 1931 01:11:42,310 --> 01:11:40,400 intelligent human a kind of a mentor 1932 01:11:44,229 --> 01:11:42,320 kind of a figure like in the day the 1933 01:11:45,990 --> 01:11:44,239 earth stood still the original date here 1934 01:11:47,750 --> 01:11:46,000 stood still with michael rennie playing 1935 01:11:50,149 --> 01:11:47,760 that part and you notice that those are 1936 01:11:52,390 --> 01:11:50,159 just human projections put on reality 1937 01:11:54,709 --> 01:11:52,400 but what's happening behind it who can 1938 01:11:56,149 --> 01:11:54,719 say and what lovecraft does and his 1939 01:11:57,669 --> 01:11:56,159 fictions and he does this very good you 1940 01:11:59,590 --> 01:11:57,679 were talking about the great old ones 1941 01:12:02,149 --> 01:11:59,600 right cthulhu for a man have you read 1942 01:12:03,750 --> 01:12:02,159 the call cthulhu i'm sure everybody's 1943 01:12:06,390 --> 01:12:03,760 read that one yes 1944 01:12:08,630 --> 01:12:06,400 i have read the call of cthulhu 1945 01:12:10,790 --> 01:12:08,640 okay think about that story for a minute 1946 01:12:13,430 --> 01:12:10,800 like in a popular mind when you're 1947 01:12:15,669 --> 01:12:13,440 talking about gaming people or when 1948 01:12:17,910 --> 01:12:15,679 they're taught making movies about or 1949 01:12:19,830 --> 01:12:17,920 whatever it's a big monster you know 1950 01:12:22,470 --> 01:12:19,840 it's a big greenish kind of monster with 1951 01:12:24,709 --> 01:12:22,480 dragon wings and big claws and his face 1952 01:12:26,950 --> 01:12:24,719 a massive tentacles it's a monster in 1953 01:12:29,510 --> 01:12:26,960 other words but that's human-centric if 1954 01:12:31,350 --> 01:12:29,520 you actually look at lovecraft's story 1955 01:12:34,870 --> 01:12:31,360 he actually the way that he presents 1956 01:12:37,430 --> 01:12:34,880 cthulhu is very interesting you know 1957 01:12:39,350 --> 01:12:37,440 like a couple that some sailors find 1958 01:12:40,870 --> 01:12:39,360 this island that comes up it's uh 1959 01:12:42,630 --> 01:12:40,880 apparently the island of rhylith or 1960 01:12:45,030 --> 01:12:42,640 something it's up for a little bit and 1961 01:12:46,709 --> 01:12:45,040 cthulhu comes out until light day now 1962 01:12:49,030 --> 01:12:46,719 some of those sailors have kind of 1963 01:12:51,430 --> 01:12:49,040 chanced upon this some of them do see a 1964 01:12:54,070 --> 01:12:51,440 big monster big dragon like monster but 1965 01:12:56,390 --> 01:12:54,080 there's one sailor that doesn't see 1966 01:12:57,990 --> 01:12:56,400 anything he's not sure what he's seeing 1967 01:13:00,390 --> 01:12:58,000 and the only way that he can describe 1968 01:13:02,790 --> 01:13:00,400 what he's seen he says a mountain walked 1969 01:13:05,030 --> 01:13:02,800 or stumbled a mountain walked or 1970 01:13:07,189 --> 01:13:05,040 stumbled that's how he sees cthulhu he 1971 01:13:09,189 --> 01:13:07,199 doesn't see him a big monster at all he 1972 01:13:11,030 --> 01:13:09,199 sees something he's trying to grasp and 1973 01:13:13,430 --> 01:13:11,040 all he can think of his mouth another 1974 01:13:18,310 --> 01:13:13,440 person actually ends up dying and he 1975 01:13:20,550 --> 01:13:18,320 sees cthulhu as this as an obtuse angle 1976 01:13:23,110 --> 01:13:20,560 pretend to be an acute angle or a mass 1977 01:13:25,350 --> 01:13:23,120 grain as an acute angle so he yes he 1978 01:13:26,310 --> 01:13:25,360 sees it as a geometrical experience of 1979 01:13:29,430 --> 01:13:26,320 some kind 1980 01:13:31,830 --> 01:13:29,440 of geometrical experience yes a large 1981 01:13:33,910 --> 01:13:31,840 one it's actually like uh obtuse angle 1982 01:13:36,070 --> 01:13:33,920 pretending to be obtuse and it's like a 1983 01:13:37,990 --> 01:13:36,080 big vast thing and gets sucked into it 1984 01:13:40,229 --> 01:13:38,000 whatever it is but what lovecraft is 1985 01:13:42,070 --> 01:13:40,239 getting at here is the human centric the 1986 01:13:44,470 --> 01:13:42,080 way we're conditioned to see things 1987 01:13:46,470 --> 01:13:44,480 interferes with reality and this graham 1988 01:13:48,149 --> 01:13:46,480 harmon guy who i was talking about who 1989 01:13:49,910 --> 01:13:48,159 wrote a book called weird realism 1990 01:13:52,149 --> 01:13:49,920 lovecraftian philosophy very good book 1991 01:13:54,550 --> 01:13:52,159 too he argues that lovecraft throughout 1992 01:13:56,790 --> 01:13:54,560 his fictions is actually using different 1993 01:13:58,310 --> 01:13:56,800 techniques to express the weirdness of 1994 01:14:00,630 --> 01:13:58,320 reality that we can't get in touch with 1995 01:14:03,430 --> 01:14:00,640 he used like either the elusive method 1996 01:14:05,669 --> 01:14:03,440 like he does in the cthulhu or he uses 1997 01:14:08,070 --> 01:14:05,679 something called the horizontal 1998 01:14:10,470 --> 01:14:08,080 method which is also a cubist method 1999 01:14:12,630 --> 01:14:10,480 where he just piles on a whole bunch of 2000 01:14:14,630 --> 01:14:12,640 things where the mind just can't put 2001 01:14:16,470 --> 01:14:14,640 them all together in a kind it's like 2002 01:14:18,229 --> 01:14:16,480 information overload to the mind to 2003 01:14:20,229 --> 01:14:18,239 express what they're seeing but see 2004 01:14:23,110 --> 01:14:20,239 lovecraft is doing that now if you read 2005 01:14:25,750 --> 01:14:23,120 just like in the 1930s right if you read 2006 01:14:28,070 --> 01:14:25,760 cthulhu mythos fictions today they go 2007 01:14:30,149 --> 01:14:28,080 right back to the same nonsense that 2008 01:14:32,149 --> 01:14:30,159

come to him all and 2203 01:22:26,390 --> 01:22:24,480 then he rises still and he's still 2204 01:22:28,310 --> 01:22:26,400 lovecraft a lot of people make these 2205 01:22:30,470 --> 01:22:28,320 kinds of interpretations like his friend 2206 01:22:33,350 --> 01:22:30,480 durwith was arguing that it's like a 2207 01:22:35,430 --> 01:22:33,360 classy good versus evil the elder gods 2208 01:22:37,189 --> 01:22:35,440 were good you know and then the great 2209 01:22:38,870 --> 01:22:37,199 old ones are evil and it was the 2210 01:22:40,229 --> 01:22:38,880 conflict between those two and now 2211 01:22:42,550 --> 01:22:40,239 you're talking about these ancient 2212 01:22:44,550 --> 01:22:42,560 things that they're discovering i uh 2213 01:22:46,310 --> 01:22:44,560 reserve judgment where these are true or 2214 01:22:49,110 --> 01:22:46,320 not there are some occultists that argue 2215 01:22:51,350 --> 01:22:49,120 the lovecraft in fact was dreaming true 2216 01:22:53,350 --> 01:22:51,360 and they was actually in touch with like 2217 01:22:55,110 --> 01:22:53,360 the future in the past and he actually 2218 01:22:57,270 --> 01:22:55,120 did get in contact with real 2219 01:22:59,189 --> 01:22:57,280 extraterrestrial entities he actually 2220 01:23:01,030 --> 01:22:59,199 could foretell the future and so they 2221 01:23:04,390 --> 01:23:01,040 place him as kind of like an unconscious 2222 01:23:05,910 --> 01:23:04,400 occultist dreaming true donald tyson the 2223 01:23:07,350 --> 01:23:05,920 guy that wrote his own version of the 2224 01:23:09,430 --> 01:23:07,360 necronomicon and he's written the 2225 01:23:11,030 --> 01:23:09,440 grimoire of the necronomicon argues that 2226 01:23:13,189 --> 01:23:11,040 lovecraft was actually a practicing 2227 01:23:15,350 --> 01:23:13,199 magician but it was a kind of a dreaming 2228 01:23:16,950 --> 01:23:15,360 unconscious form of magic and i'm 2229 01:23:19,030 --> 01:23:16,960 perfectly willing if somebody wants to 2230 01:23:21,590 --> 01:23:19,040 make the argument he can't prove that of 2231 01:23:24,149 --> 01:23:21,600 course guy can't disprove it and so if a 2232 01:23:26,470 --> 01:23:24,159 person wants to view it that way then by 2233 01:23:27,750 --> 01:23:26,480 all means that's good you know what what 2234 01:23:30,229 --> 01:23:27,760 it means is that we're going to keep 2235 01:23:32,149 --> 01:23:30,239 talking about lovecraft so what i see in 2236 01:23:33,669 --> 01:23:32,159 the future is that science and magic are 2237 01:23:35,430 --> 01:23:33,679 going to have to come together it used 2238 01:23:37,510 --> 01:23:35,440 to be the same thing in the old days and 2239 01:23:39,110 --> 01:23:37,520 then they kind of broke apart during the 2240 01:23:42,310 --> 01:23:39,120 enlightenment era but they're gonna have 2241 01:23:44,550 --> 01:23:42,320 to come together because quantum physics 2242 01:23:46,470 --> 01:23:44,560 definitions of the universe and of 2243 01:23:49,669 --> 01:23:46,480 reality are getting more and more 2244 01:23:52,070 --> 01:23:49,679 magical the more decades that go by and 2245 01:23:53,830 --> 01:23:52,080 someday those quantum physicists are 2246 01:23:56,390 --> 01:23:53,840 going to need some way to quantify their 2247 01:23:58,390 --> 01:23:56,400 speculations they can't do it right now 2248 01:24:00,070 --> 01:23:58,400 which is why einstein got off that 2249 01:24:02,070 --> 01:24:00,080 bandwagon because he didn't like 2250 01:24:03,669 --> 01:24:02,080 speculating beyond things that we could 2251 01:24:06,149 --> 01:24:03,679 prove and that's where quantum physics 2252 01:24:07,590 --> 01:24:06,159 is gone now it's all speculation someday 2253 01:24:10,709 --> 01:24:07,600 we're gonna have to try and find a way 2254 01:24:12,790 --> 01:24:10,719 to quantify those and so far i think the 2255 01:24:16,310 --> 01:24:12,800 only way we can actually quantify the 2256 01:24:18,229 --> 01:24:16,320 close we can come to is utilizing magic 2257 01:24:19,430 --> 01:24:18,239 even though we can't explain why it does 2258 01:24:21,270 --> 01:24:19,440 what it does 2259 01:24:23,510 --> 01:24:21,280 it will allow us to get in touch with 2260 01:24:25,830 --> 01:24:23,520 these kinds of interdimensional things 2261 01:24:27,830 --> 01:24:25,840 and so sometimes magic and science are 2262 01:24:29,430 --> 01:24:27,840 going to have to link up again and have 2263 01:24:31,430 --> 01:24:29,440 a relationship and i think we're moving 2264 01:24:32,870 --> 01:24:31,440 in that direction slowly isn't it fair 2265 01:24:34,229 --> 01:24:32,880 to say though if we're going to start 2266 01:24:37,110 --> 01:24:34,239 dropping in 2267 01:24:39,430 --> 01:24:37,120 quantum physics and maybe magic is just 2268 01:24:41,189 --> 01:24:39,440 another way of looking at technology and 2269 01:24:42,830 --> 01:24:41,199 maybe even a more advanced version 2270 01:24:46,310 --> 01:24:42,840 because we don't need all the 2271 01:24:48,629 --> 01:24:46,320 technological stuff we can use spells 2272 01:24:49,990 --> 01:24:48,639 gadgetry and we're moving in those 2273 01:24:52,229 --> 01:24:50,000 directions but we're doing it 2274 01:24:54,709 --> 01:24:52,239 electronically but we're still a great 2275 01:24:56,310 --> 01:24:54,719 deal away from it and the problem is of 2276 01:24:58,310 --> 01:24:56,320 course that we can create virtual 2277 01:25:00,790 --> 01:24:58,320 environments but we can't master 2278 01:25:03,110 --> 01:25:00,800 artificial intelligence yet and that's 2279 01:25:05,510 --> 01:25:03,120 the big sticking point there like we can 2280 01:25:07,430 --> 01:25:05,520 create virtual entities and we could 2281 01:25:09,030 --> 01:25:07,440 argue those virtual entities are similar 2282 01:25:11,189 --> 01:25:09,040 to the kind of magical entities that we 2283 01:25:13,189 --> 01:25:11,199 create but there's one big difference 2284 01:25:16,229 --> 01:25:13,199 the things that they create virtually 2285 01:25:18,390 --> 01:25:16,239 are not artificially intelligent and the 2286 01:25:19,750 --> 01:25:18,400 great old ones are the gods and gazes 2287 01:25:21,910 --> 01:25:19,760 and magic deals 2288 01:25:24,470 --> 01:25:21,920 are intelligent are artificially 2289 01:25:27,030 --> 01:25:24,480 intelligent we don't know why they are 2290 01:25:29,750 --> 01:25:27,040 but they are and so there can be a 2291 01:25:31,990 --> 01:25:29,760 genuine information exchange between 2292 01:25:33,590 --> 01:25:32,000 magical entities and human beings but 2293 01:25:36,229 --> 01:25:33,600 there can't be the same thing with the 2294 01:25:37,669 --> 01:25:36,239 virtual and we're not really there yet i 2295 01:25:39,590 --> 01:25:37,679 don't know how long it's going to take 2296 01:25:41,030 --> 01:25:39,600 us to get there but once when we get 2297 01:25:44,070 --> 01:25:41,040 there we're still going to have to find 2298 01:25:45,830 --> 01:25:44,080 ways to quantify that so uh technology's 2299 01:25:48,470 --> 01:25:45,840 running way behind all that's running 2300 01:25:49,910 --> 01:25:48,480 way behind the speculation all right you 2301 01:25:51,510 --> 01:25:49,920 never know when i'm going to stop do you 2302 01:25:53,430 --> 01:25:51,520 see i'm a college teacher i can sit up 2303 01:25:55,590 --> 01:25:53,440 there and lecture for hours and i've got 2304 01:25:57,430 --> 01:25:55,600 a captive audience and the students 2305 01:25:59,350 --> 01:25:57,440 can't really do anything until the class 2306 01:26:01,270 --> 01:25:59,360 is over you know so i have a tendency to 2307 01:26:02,950 --> 01:26:01,280 ramble on and talk forever and ever and 2308 01:26:05,189 --> 01:26:02,960 i apologize for that well i'll tell you 2309 01:26:06,390 --> 01:26:05,199 something here i run the board and i 2310 01:26:07,830 --> 01:26:06,400 have the power 2311 01:26:10,070 --> 01:26:07,840 and i'll interrupt you when it's 2312 01:26:11,590 --> 01:26:10,080 necessary yes i have the power unless 2313 01:26:12,470 --> 01:26:11,600 you're going to use some kind of magical 2314 01:26:15,110 --> 01:26:12,480 spell 2315 01:26:17,030 --> 01:26:15,120 that could be invoked through skype yeah 2316 01:26:18,950 --> 01:26:17,040 and plus you can actually edit too so 2317 01:26:20,550 --> 01:26:18,960 that's even more powerful 2318 01:26:23,669 --> 01:26:20,560 yes but you know i should tell the truth 2319 01:26:26,229 --> 01:26:23,679 to our listeners they wonder what is it 2320 01:26:28,229 --> 01:26:26,239 that i do to edit this show 2321 01:26:30,470 --> 01:26:28,239 and the fact of the matter is 2322 01:26:32,310 --> 01:26:30,480 it's very little i give it a shave and a 2323 01:26:34,709 --> 01:26:32,320 haircut i clean it up a little bit 2324 01:26:37,350 --> 01:26:34,719 unless someone says one of the 2325 01:26:38,870 --> 01:26:37,360 george carlin words then it gets to be 2326 01:26:40,550 --> 01:26:38,880 more involved i want to ask you just 2327 01:26:42,229 --> 01:26:40,560 parenthetically and i want to get also 2328 01:26:43,189 --> 01:26:42,239 into listener questions that chris will 2329 01:26:46,070 --> 01:26:43,199 offer you 2330 01:26:47,189 --> 01:26:46,080 that is how do your 2331 01:26:49,270 --> 01:26:47,199 students 2332 01:26:51,590 --> 01:26:49,280 react to all this are they aware of it 2333 01:26:53,110 --> 01:26:51,600 because you're an english teacher yeah i 2334 01:26:55,110 --> 01:26:53,120 actually teach writing i teach them how 2335 01:26:56,790 --> 01:26:55,120 to write and there's a very clear line 2336 01:26:58,950 --> 01:26:56,800 there when i go in there it's very 2337 01:27:00,149 --> 01:26:58,960 important for them to see these are 2338 01:27:02,149 --> 01:27:00,159 students getting ready to go to the 2339 01:27:04,550 --> 01:27:02,159 undergraduate university and so i teach 2340 01:27:06,550 --> 01:27:04,560 them how to write analytical expository 2341 01:27:09,189 --> 01:27:06,560 essays or argumentative essays which is 2342 01:27:12,310 --> 01:27:09,199 a more aggressive form of an analytical 2343 01:27:13,750 --> 01:27:12,320 exposure i concentrate on that entirely 2344 01:27:15,510 --> 01:27:13,760 because that's what i'm paid to do and 2345 01:27:17,510 --> 01:27:15,520 that's the skill they need and i would 2346 01:27:20,229 --> 01:27:17,520 argue it's the number one skill they 2347 01:27:21,830 --> 01:27:20,239 need or to succeed in college and so i 2348 01:27:24,310 --> 01:27:21,840 teach that but some of them have 2349 01:27:25,990 --> 01:27:24,320 probably read my book and i'll speculate 2350 01:27:27,990 --> 01:27:26,000 and have some fun in the classroom tell 2351 01:27:29,990 --> 01:27:28,000 my little jokes i have a very macabre 2352 01:27:32,629 --> 01:27:30,000 sense of humor i'll tell my little jokes 2353 01:27:34,070 --> 01:27:32,639 but i concentrate basically on teaching 2354 01:27:36,310 --> 01:27:34,080 them why i'm supposed to teach them how 2355 01:27:37,990 --> 01:27:36,320 to write analytical expository essay i 2356 01:27:39,990 --> 01:27:38,000 am proposing a class though and i'm 2357 01:27:41,669 --> 01:27:40,000 going to talk to the dean of instruction 2358 01:27:43,830 --> 01:27:41,679 about that actually where i want to 2359 01:27:46,070 --> 01:27:43,840 teach a class called speculative science 2360 01:27:47,669 --> 01:27:46,080 fiction fantasy and horror in the 21st 2361 01:27:49,669 --> 01:27:47,679 century and then i'm going to have a 2362 01:27:50,950 --> 01:27:49,679 segment on lovecraft's works and i 2363 01:27:52,470 --> 01:27:50,960 picked some other science fiction 2364 01:27:55,110 --> 01:27:52,480 writers like william gibson you guys 2365 01:27:57,669 --> 01:27:55,120 know william gibson yeah neuromancer he 2366 01:27:58,950 --> 01:27:57,679 wrote the novel neuromancer but he's 2367 01:28:00,950 --> 01:27:58,960 written several too but i'm going to be 2368 01:28:02,709 --> 01:28:00,960 talking uh the class if they approve 2369 01:28:05,270 --> 01:28:02,719 this class it'll be a more speculative 2370 01:28:06,709 --> 01:28:05,280 class but my teaching is not speculative 2371 01:28:08,390 --> 01:28:06,719 i don't we don't deal with any of this 2372 01:28:10,310 --> 01:28:08,400 kind of stuff i'm not being paid to do 2373 01:28:12,390 --> 01:28:10,320 that sort of thing i keep the planes 2374 01:28:13,910 --> 01:28:12,400 very distinct alistair crowley always 2375 01:28:15,669 --> 01:28:13,920 said you've got to make sure your planes 2376 01:28:17,830 --> 01:28:15,679 are distinct and you have to do that so 2377 01:28:19,910 --> 01:28:17,840 you don't go crazy if you the planes 2378 01:28:21,030 --> 01:28:19,920 aren't distinct then suddenly the great 2379 01:28:22,390 --> 01:28:21,040 old ones will appear to you in the 2380 01:28:23,430 --> 01:28:22,400 middle of the afternoon at one o'clock 2381 01:28:25,110 --> 01:28:23,440 while you're teaching you can't have 2382 01:28:26,310 --> 01:28:25,120 that happen so you gotta keep the 2383 01:28:28,550 --> 01:28:26,320 barriers between the planes 2384 01:28:30,070 --> 01:28:28,560 psychological berries let me ask you 2385 01:28:31,110 --> 01:28:30,080 here since you mentioned the fact that 2386 01:28:32,629 --> 01:28:31,120 you're 2387 01:28:34,149 --> 01:28:32,639 bringing this up to some degree with 2388 01:28:37,430 --> 01:28:34,159 your students have you ever run into 2389 01:28:41,030 --> 01:28:37,440 anything weird or unusual as a result 2390 01:28:43,110 --> 01:28:41,040 in the classrooms yes uh no not really 2391 01:28:45,350 --> 01:28:43,120 i've

2560 01:35:40,950 --> 01:35:38,639 infer this from who and what they're 2561 01:35:43,350 --> 01:35:40,960 supposed to be well i think that we just 2562 01:35:44,790 --> 01:35:43,360 whatever we see we bring it with us you 2563 01:35:46,629 --> 01:35:44,800 know we're conditioned now a lot of 2564 01:35:48,550 --> 01:35:46,639 times people that do magical rituals 2565 01:35:50,550 --> 01:35:48,560 based on the great old ones they already 2566 01:35:52,229 --> 01:35:50,560 have preconceptions and that was the 2567 01:35:53,830 --> 01:35:52,239 danger that i talked about before when i 2568 01:35:54,709 --> 01:35:53,840 was in middle school you know i had 2569 01:35:56,790 --> 01:35:54,719 called up the spirit of bart's 2570 01:35:58,629 --> 01:35:56,800 barnstable i had a pretty good idea what 2571 01:36:00,070 --> 01:35:58,639 bart's about would look like in fact 2572 01:36:01,830 --> 01:36:00,080 they have a golden dawn ritual for 2573 01:36:04,790 --> 01:36:01,840 calling up bart's about so i'd read all 2574 01:36:06,950 --> 01:36:04,800 the document i'd read crowley 777 which 2575 01:36:08,310 --> 01:36:06,960 has got all the correspondences it's how 2576 01:36:09,990 --> 01:36:08,320 to decorate your temple what kind of 2577 01:36:12,310 --> 01:36:10,000 weapons to use what kind of incense to 2578 01:36:14,149 --> 01:36:12,320 burn what mars should be doing up in the 2579 01:36:16,149 --> 01:36:14,159 heavens at that time what the best hour 2580 01:36:18,070 --> 01:36:16,159 for doing so you read all that stuff and 2581 01:36:20,870 --> 01:36:18,080 you got expectations and like i said 2582 01:36:23,350 --> 01:36:20,880 those rituals justified my expectations 2583 01:36:25,830 --> 01:36:23,360 but i'm not really engaged in anything 2584 01:36:28,149 --> 01:36:25,840 am i like if you talk to somebody that 2585 01:36:29,990 --> 01:36:28,159 is justifying your expectations you're 2586 01:36:32,470 --> 01:36:30,000 talking to yourself basically you're not 2587 01:36:34,070 --> 01:36:32,480 learning anything right and so what i 2588 01:36:35,669 --> 01:36:34,080 think is a lot of times people get 2589 01:36:36,870 --> 01:36:35,679 involved in magic they've already read 2590 01:36:39,189 --> 01:36:36,880 the call because 2591 01:36:41,590 --> 01:36:39,199 they've seen the games they've read 2592 01:36:43,430 --> 01:36:41,600 books they've seen the movies when a 2593 01:36:45,270 --> 01:36:43,440 cthulhu comes up it kind of looks like 2594 01:36:47,990 --> 01:36:45,280 that because they're they're predisposed 2595 01:36:49,350 --> 01:36:48,000 to look like that however in my rituals 2596 01:36:51,590 --> 01:36:49,360 the one that i'm playing together into 2597 01:36:53,990 --> 01:36:51,600 the grimoire it's like a narrative what 2598 01:36:56,229 --> 01:36:54,000 happens you do the language you recite 2599 01:36:57,590 --> 01:36:56,239 the words of power you do the gestures 2600 01:36:59,750 --> 01:36:57,600 very minimal 2601 01:37:01,270 --> 01:36:59,760 use of magical weapons you can conjure 2602 01:37:04,310 --> 01:37:01,280 whatever you need just like they did in 2603 01:37:06,629 --> 01:37:04,320 dr strange and what will happen is that 2604 01:37:08,870 --> 01:37:06,639 you have an experience and it kind of 2605 01:37:10,310 --> 01:37:08,880 forms like a narrative and might not 2606 01:37:12,310 --> 01:37:10,320 have anything to do with what your 2607 01:37:13,990 --> 01:37:12,320 preconceptions are about cthulhu and 2608 01:37:15,430 --> 01:37:14,000 each time you do the ritual you have a 2609 01:37:17,669 --> 01:37:15,440 different experience and so you're 2610 01:37:20,149 --> 01:37:17,679 gaining more knowledge you might be 2611 01:37:21,910 --> 01:37:20,159 gaining power too but it's not the kind 2612 01:37:23,750 --> 01:37:21,920 of power where you ah i've got the power 2613 01:37:25,189 --> 01:37:23,760 of cthulhu now i'm going to blast you 2614 01:37:27,109 --> 01:37:25,199 like in the doctor's strength i've got 2615 01:37:28,790 --> 01:37:27,119 the power of the dark dimension so a 2616 01:37:30,629 --> 01:37:28,800 dormant muse behind me so i'm going to 2617 01:37:33,350 --> 01:37:30,639 do this or that it's not like that at 2618 01:37:36,229 --> 01:37:33,360 all it's not good or evil when we're 2619 01:37:38,870 --> 01:37:36,239 beyond time and space because time 2620 01:37:40,470 --> 01:37:38,880 in space is not good or evil but time is 2621 01:37:42,550 --> 01:37:40,480 not really good or evil either it's 2622 01:37:45,189 --> 01:37:42,560 human behavior and when we get past 2623 01:37:47,669 --> 01:37:45,199 human behavior and human centric things 2624 01:37:49,510 --> 01:37:47,679 we've left all that behind you know so 2625 01:37:50,870 --> 01:37:49,520 whatever people do if they've got 2626 01:37:53,590 --> 01:37:50,880 preconceptions they'll bring the 2627 01:37:55,270 --> 01:37:53,600 preconceptions they'll see cthulhu the 2628 01:37:57,510 --> 01:37:55,280 way that they're conditioned to see them 2629 01:37:59,030 --> 01:37:57,520 and maybe if they get lucky they'll see 2630 01:38:00,629 --> 01:37:59,040 it differently and they'll be having a 2631 01:38:03,350 --> 01:38:00,639 genuine narrative they'll have an 2632 01:38:05,990 --> 01:38:03,360 original relationship with the universe 2633 01:38:07,510 --> 01:38:06,000 which is what i think is a goal of magic 2634 01:38:09,750 --> 01:38:07,520 and that kind of leads me that's a 2635 01:38:11,669 --> 01:38:09,760 perfect kind of opening for 2636 01:38:12,870 --> 01:38:11,679 some listener questions this one comes 2637 01:38:14,390 --> 01:38:12,880 from red 2638 01:38:19,189 --> 01:38:14,400 who's been posting since the end of 2639 01:38:23,510 --> 01:38:21,430 where our listeners get a chance to post 2640 01:38:27,109 --> 01:38:23,520 questions for our guests and 2641 01:38:30,310 --> 01:38:27,119 red has come out uh he's posted uh over 2642 01:38:31,990 --> 01:38:30,320 500 messages and he kind of is broken 2643 01:38:33,430 --> 01:38:32,000 this up into three 2644 01:38:35,750 --> 01:38:33,440 different sort of 2645 01:38:37,030 --> 01:38:35,760 questions really question two i want to 2646 01:38:40,390 --> 01:38:37,040 start with that it's pretty well 2647 01:38:41,990 --> 01:38:40,400 documented that h.p lovecraft cribbed 2648 01:38:44,310 --> 01:38:42,000 quite a bit from the encyclopedia 2649 01:38:45,990 --> 01:38:44,320 britannica he reached out to one of his 2650 01:38:47,910 --> 01:38:46,000 pen pals where in the colt library and 2651 01:38:50,070 --> 01:38:47,920 asked to brought some of the titles 2652 01:38:52,229 --> 01:38:50,080 after lovecraft wrote the disastrous 2653 01:38:54,310 --> 01:38:52,239 horror red hook from which all the 2654 01:38:56,550 --> 01:38:54,320 occult references had been taken from 2655 01:38:58,950 --> 01:38:56,560 the encyclopedia i guess he learned from 2656 01:39:02,550 --> 01:38:58,960 his mistakes as a good chunk of his 2657 01:39:04,950 --> 01:39:02,560 mythos was established before that book 2658 01:39:06,709 --> 01:39:04,960 how do you feel lovecraft managed to tap 2659 01:39:09,510 --> 01:39:06,719 into the beginnings of a workable 2660 01:39:11,669 --> 01:39:09,520 magical system with practically no real 2661 01:39:12,870 --> 01:39:11,679 functional knowledge of the occult he 2662 01:39:14,550 --> 01:39:12,880 never did 2663 01:39:16,390 --> 01:39:14,560 caller is perfectly right about that he 2664 01:39:18,070 --> 01:39:16,400 actually mined the encyclopedia 2665 01:39:19,830 --> 01:39:18,080 britannica i talked about this in 2666 01:39:21,830 --> 01:39:19,840 chapter two by the way where he gets his 2667 01:39:24,629 --> 01:39:21,840 information from he did ask his friend 2668 01:39:27,990 --> 01:39:24,639 clark aston smith to suggest books of 2669 01:39:30,470 --> 01:39:28,000 magic and in my book i explore exactly 2670 01:39:32,550 --> 01:39:30,480 the uh documents that he read the books 2671 01:39:34,229 --> 01:39:32,560 he had a very superficial knowledge of 2672 01:39:37,910 --> 01:39:34,239 magic and what he was doing he was 2673 01:39:40,229 --> 01:39:37,920 mining that for atmosphere and for words 2674 01:39:42,390 --> 01:39:40,239 and for concepts that he could kind of 2675 01:39:44,229 --> 01:39:42,400 use in his stories kind of like as a 2676 01:39:45,830 --> 01:39:44,239 justification for what he was actually 2677 01:39:47,750 --> 01:39:45,840 trying to create so he wasn't really 2678 01:39:50,229 --> 01:39:47,760 seriously interested in practicing magic 2679 01:39:52,470 --> 01:39:50,239 he never formulated a magical system so 2680 01:39:54,390 --> 01:39:52,480 they were literary devices basically 2681 01:39:56,550 --> 01:39:54,400 they were literary devices he actually 2682 01:39:58,229 --> 01:39:56,560 stole a conjuration out there and it's 2683 01:40:00,550 --> 01:39:58,239 supposed to be a really damn he 2684 01:40:03,350 --> 01:40:00,560 would call a damnable conjuration for 2685 01:40:05,990 --> 01:40:03,360 doing something it was actually a latin 2686 01:40:07,270 --> 01:40:06,000 evocation that he got from a lethal levi 2687 01:40:09,109 --> 01:40:07,280 he didn't get it from a leaf elephants 2688 01:40:10,870 --> 01:40:09,119 levi's original document the 2689 01:40:12,709 --> 01:40:10,880 transcendental magic but he actually got 2690 01:40:14,470 --> 01:40:12,719 it from the encyclopedia britannica 2691 01:40:16,310 --> 01:40:14,480 version of that i talked about all that 2692 01:40:18,709 --> 01:40:16,320 in my book and what it was was it was 2693 01:40:20,629 --> 01:40:18,719 supposed to be a really evil conjuration 2694 01:40:23,189 --> 01:40:20,639 and it was actually just a conjuration 2695 01:40:25,270 --> 01:40:23,199 for calling up the different elementals 2696 01:40:27,510 --> 01:40:25,280 for alchemical kind of things calling on 2697 01:40:29,350 --> 01:40:27,520 so you're calling up elementals for uh 2698 01:40:31,109 --> 01:40:29,360 fire water air and earth there was 2699 01:40:33,270 --> 01:40:31,119 nothing really damnable about it all in 2700 01:40:34,870 --> 01:40:33,280 fact i dissect a couple of those in 2701 01:40:37,030 --> 01:40:34,880 chapter two and show that they really 2702 01:40:38,709 --> 01:40:37,040 weren't that like he would heap all 2703 01:40:40,149 --> 01:40:38,719 those words in there and the words 2704 01:40:41,750 --> 01:40:40,159 didn't mean he didn't know what the 2705 01:40:44,310 --> 01:40:41,760 words meant you know but most of them 2706 01:40:46,229 --> 01:40:44,320 were like old 10th century grimoires 2707 01:40:48,470 --> 01:40:46,239 they had words like different names to 2708 01:40:49,750 --> 01:40:48,480 god or different names to angels and he 2709 01:40:51,430 --> 01:40:49,760 didn't even know that he just kind of 2710 01:40:52,950 --> 01:40:51,440 dumped it in there so it was like what 2711 01:40:55,590 --> 01:40:52,960 you said it was a literary device but 2712 01:40:57,109 --> 01:40:55,600 lovecraft did not found a magical system 2713 01:41:00,390 --> 01:40:57,119 what he was doing he was trying to find 2714 01:41:02,470 --> 01:41:00,400 some way to get his narrators into the 2715 01:41:04,790 --> 01:41:02,480 kind of experiences i'm talking about he 2716 01:41:06,470 --> 01:41:04,800 used magic to do that sometimes he 2717 01:41:07,270 --> 01:41:06,480 didn't like in the thing you're talking 2718 01:41:08,790 --> 01:41:07,280 about 2719 01:41:11,189 --> 01:41:08,800 your favorite and that's considered one 2720 01:41:13,510 --> 01:41:11,199 of his best stories by the way the uh 2721 01:41:15,350 --> 01:41:13,520 mountains of madness that one he stays 2722 01:41:17,669 --> 01:41:15,360 on the regular physical plane there i 2723 01:41:19,430 --> 01:41:17,679 mean they discover ancient astronauts 2724 01:41:21,350 --> 01:41:19,440 that colonize that before the earth and 2725 01:41:24,310 --> 01:41:21,360 there's no magic yeah it's it's it's 2726 01:41:26,149 --> 01:41:24,320 sci-fi i mean yeah it's sci-fi and you 2727 01:41:28,229 --> 01:41:26,159 know the weird thing about it is like i 2728 01:41:30,310 --> 01:41:28,239 got a really good endorsement from st 2729 01:41:32,149 --> 01:41:30,320 jose who's actually an atheist and he 2730 01:41:33,590 --> 01:41:32,159 doesn't believe in anything occult and 2731 01:41:34,950 --> 01:41:33,600 he had to kind of grit his teeth when he 2732 01:41:37,189 --> 01:41:34,960 read my book but he gave me a good 2733 01:41:39,109 --> 01:41:37,199 endorsement anyhow but anyhow he makes 2734 01:41:40,550 --> 01:41:39,119 the argument and his argument's wrong he 2735 01:41:42,510 --> 01:41:40,560 makes the argument the lovecraft was 2736 01:41:44,950 --> 01:41:42,520 moving away from magic it was 2737 01:41:47,109 --> 01:41:44,960 demythologizing his mythos and so it's 2738 01:41:49,510 --> 01:41:47,119 all going to be like aliens it's all 2739 01:41:51,910 --> 01:41:49,520 going to be extraterrestrial aliens and 2740 01:41:53,669 --> 01:41:51,920 he argues that we see lovecraft moving 2741 01:41:56,149 --> 01:41:53,679 away from magic and stories like that 2742 01:41:58,550 --> 01:41:56,159 but the way that this falls apart is 2743 01:42:00,470 --> 01:41:58,560 that he was really i would disagree too 2744 01:42:02,070 --> 01:42:00,480 because he we'd have to see a consistent 2745 01:42:04,070 --> 01:42:02,080 pairing like you'd have to see a parent 2746 01:42:06,149 --> 01:42:04,080 like the dunwich it's pure magic 2747 01:42:07,910 --> 01:42:06,159 in the dumb witch what after the dunwich 2748 01:42:10,390 --> 01:42:07,920 horror when you start doing the whisper 2749 01:42:12,550 --> 01:42:10,400 in darkness it's also extraterrestrials 2750 01:42:15,510 --> 01:42:12,560 and then the mountain madness 2751 01:42:17,669 --> 01:42:15,520 jumps around there's no curve going on 2752 01:42:19,590 --> 01:42:17,679 there's no curb like you'll see a couple 2753 01:42:21,750 --> 01:42:19,600 stories that are completely science 2754 01:42:23,189 --> 01:42:21,760 fiction the colorado space is completely 2755 01:42:25,669 --> 01:42:23,199 science fiction something comes out of 2756 01:42:29,189 --> 01:42:25,679 space it goes bad but then what do you 2757 01:42:30,470 --> 01:42:29,199 see like later on in 1933 after these 2758 01:42:32,070 --> 01:42:30,480 you see him running the thing on the 2759 01:42:34,310 --> 01:42:32,080 doorstep which is about magical 2760 01:42:36,229 --> 01:42:34,320 practitioner who actually possesses the 2761 01:42:38,149 --> 01:42:36,239 body of his daughter so it's about 2762 01:42:39,910 --> 01:42:38,159 magical possession there and then you've 2763 01:42:41,750 --> 01:42:39,920 got like the shadow all time and there's 2764 01:42:43,430 --> 01:42:41,760 another extraterrestrial one and then 2765 01:42:47,270 --> 01:42:43,440 the haunter of the dark which was his 2766 01:42:49,030 --> 01:42:47,280 last story in 1925 that's pure magical 2767 01:42:51,350 --> 01:42:49,040 like the person conscious of using a 2768 01:42:53,750 --> 01:42:51,360 trapezoid he conscious up a magical 2769 01:42:55,910 --> 01:42:53,760 entity so lovecraft jumps back and forth 2770 01:42:58,149 --> 01:42:55,920 and what i think he's trying to do he's 2771 01:43:00,470 --> 01:42:58,159 trying to use different methodologies 2772 01:43:02,629 --> 01:43:00,480 different narratives to actually express 2773 01:43:04,950 --> 01:43:02,639 things that are inexpressible but things 2774 01:43:07,910 --> 01:43:04,960 that fascinate him completely things he 2775 01:43:10,310 --> 01:43:07,920 dreamed about at night and want to share 2776 01:43:11,750 --> 01:43:10,320 those dreams with us too in the daytime 2777 01:43:13,750 --> 01:43:11,760 lovecraft was an atheist and a 2778 01:43:15,590 --> 01:43:13,760 materialist at night time he couldn't 2779 01:43:17,590 --> 01:43:15,600 control what was going into his dreams 2780 01:43:19,510 --> 01:43:17,600 and he wanted to share those with us and 2781 01:43:21,669 --> 01:43:19,520 when he did it sometimes he came out 2782 01:43:23,430 --> 01:43:21,679 scientific and sometimes it came out 2783 01:43:25,990 --> 01:43:23,440 magical he never 2784 01:43:27,669 --> 01:43:26,000 once devoted himself entire to one point 2785 01:43:29,430 --> 01:43:27,679 of view or the other point of view and 2786 01:43:31,590 --> 01:43:29,440 that's why i think he's so strong why 2787 01:43:34,070 --> 01:43:31,600 the takami and lovecraft is so strong he 2788 01:43:35,990 --> 01:43:34,080 never resolved that conflict between the 2789 01:43:37,750 --> 01:43:36,000 night side and the dark side i think 2790 01:43:39,669 --> 01:43:37,760 that's why it's so powerful because with 2791 01:43:40,470 --> 01:43:39,679 all the rest of us that's the way we are 2792 01:43:42,470 --> 01:43:40,480 too 2793 01:43:44,470 --> 01:43:42,480 i believe that's the way we all are and 2794 01:43:47,030 --> 01:43:44,480 you can say that about stephen king too 2795 01:43:49,270 --> 01:43:47,040 in some ways uh for someone that has had 2796 01:43:51,750 --> 01:43:49,280 such a prodigious output you know you 2797 01:43:54,550 --> 01:43:51,760 can always kind of pigeonhole him in a 2798 01:43:56,709 --> 01:43:54,560 horror sense but where that horror goes 2799 01:43:59,669 --> 01:43:56,719 it shoots out tendrils 2800 01:44:01,430 --> 01:43:59,679 cthulhu face tentacles all through every 2801 01:44:04,310 --> 01:44:01,440 genre out there 2802 01:44:06,229 --> 01:44:04,320 and he borrows and steals liberally and 2803 01:44:08,629 --> 01:44:06,239 i think obviously lovecraft must have 2804 01:44:10,950 --> 01:44:08,639 been uh a real 2805 01:44:12,550 --> 01:44:10,960 you know early very powerful uh 2806 01:44:14,229 --> 01:44:12,560 influence on him 2807 01:44:16,390 --> 01:44:14,239 but do you see where the horrors the 2808 01:44:18,870 --> 01:44:16,400 horrors and the monsters the horrors and 2809 01:44:21,590 --> 01:44:18,880 then people being torn but the horrors 2810 01:44:23,990 --> 01:44:21,600 and the human condition 2811 01:44:26,229 --> 01:44:24,000 the human condition and the fact that 2812 01:44:28,149 --> 01:44:26,239 just a slight change in perception and 2813 01:44:29,510 --> 01:44:28,159 then it's all different and we don't 2814 01:44:31,590 --> 01:44:29,520 really understand what's happening but 2815 01:44:33,510 --> 01:44:31,600 we're certainly not in control anymore 2816 01:44:35,830 --> 01:44:33,520 we're very minor 2817 01:44:37,750 --> 01:44:35,840 a very minor player and then lovecraft 2818 01:44:39,750 --> 01:44:37,760 has constantly taken us to look out the 2819 01:44:42,149 --> 01:44:39,760 cosmos itself and if you think about the 2820 01:44:43,910 --> 01:44:42,159 gospels my god it's frightening out 2821 01:44:46,070 --> 01:44:43,920 there i mean we've only been on the 2822 01:44:47,590 --> 01:44:46,080

zombies for one minute i never thought 2929 01:49:16,709 --> 01:49:14,639 zombies were too good but i did see this 2930 01:49:19,109 --> 01:49:16,719 movie called warm bodies did you see 2931 01:49:21,830 --> 01:49:19,119 that one it was kind of a comedy where a 2932 01:49:23,830 --> 01:49:21,840 zombie kind learns to as hard as being 2933 01:49:25,590 --> 01:49:23,840 again they kind of change his perception 2934 01:49:27,270 --> 01:49:25,600 turns back into a living human being did 2935 01:49:28,550 --> 01:49:27,280 you see that movies 2936 01:49:29,990 --> 01:49:28,560 i don't know 2937 01:49:31,030 --> 01:49:30,000 sounds kind of 2938 01:49:33,270 --> 01:49:31,040 porn 2939 01:49:36,149 --> 01:49:33,280 no no it's not that it's a movie it's 2940 01:49:38,390 --> 01:49:36,159 like a girl a zombie for some reason 2941 01:49:40,149 --> 01:49:38,400 it's a young man and for some reason he 2942 01:49:42,470 --> 01:49:40,159 doesn't attack the girl but then she 2943 01:49:44,950 --> 01:49:42,480 ikai rescues her from the other zombies 2944 01:49:46,790 --> 01:49:44,960 and he kind of learns to be human again 2945 01:49:49,430 --> 01:49:46,800 and i think it's a really interesting 2946 01:49:52,629 --> 01:49:49,440 movie because it sounds like 2947 01:49:54,390 --> 01:49:52,639 it sounds like every sitcom on tv 2948 01:49:56,149 --> 01:49:54,400 yeah but it's different like those 2949 01:49:58,310 --> 01:49:56,159 zombies in the walking dead they can't 2950 01:50:00,310 --> 01:49:58,320 come back i mean they're already 2951 01:50:01,830 --> 01:50:00,320 infected and they're not there's they 2952 01:50:03,590 --> 01:50:01,840 can't be really human anymore they're 2953 01:50:06,550 --> 01:50:03,600 kind of just like shells they're being 2954 01:50:08,229 --> 01:50:06,560 animated somehow but in this one the guy 2955 01:50:11,189 --> 01:50:08,239 actually came back 2956 01:50:13,590 --> 01:50:11,199 and then he could he kind uh by a change 2957 01:50:16,070 --> 01:50:13,600 of perception or feeling he actually 2958 01:50:18,550 --> 01:50:16,080 perceived himself away from being uh a 2959 01:50:20,229 --> 01:50:18,560 zombie into human again they slowly 2960 01:50:22,470 --> 01:50:20,239 evolved into him he could fall in love 2961 01:50:24,709 --> 01:50:22,480 and stuff and then the other zombies 2962 01:50:26,229 --> 01:50:24,719 they found ways to do that and then they 2963 01:50:27,830 --> 01:50:26,239 were all kind of cured but they cured 2964 01:50:29,590 --> 01:50:27,840 themselves by changing their perception 2965 01:50:32,310 --> 01:50:29,600 i thought they were injuries 2966 01:50:33,590 --> 01:50:32,320 i was wondering kind of remediating some 2967 01:50:34,390 --> 01:50:33,600 good 2968 01:50:36,310 -->

perception you realize you're not really 2972 01:50:44,070 --> 01:50:42,000 dead at all and i think that could be a 2973 01:50:45,430 --> 01:50:44,080 metaphor for something even more 2974 01:50:47,109 --> 01:50:45,440 profound than that but i thought it was 2975 01:50:49,030 --> 01:50:47,119 a good movie at least it was a creative 2976 01:50:49,990 --> 01:50:49,040 movie most of the time 2977 01:50:56,149 --> 01:50:50,000 bodies 2978 01:50:57,910 --> 01:50:56,159 yeah yeah remedial zombie hood you know 2979 01:50:59,830 --> 01:50:57,920 we're running out of time uh john so 2980

01:51:13,830 --> 01:51:12,800 necronomicon contains magical booby 2987 01:51:16,149 --> 01:51:13,840 traps 2988 01:51:18,550 --> 01:51:16,159 that might not trip up an experienced 2989 01:51:21,270 --> 01:51:18,560 magician or practitioner but could trip 2990 01:51:23,189 --> 01:51:21,280 up the newbies in fact there used to be 2991 01:51:25,350 --> 01:51:23,199 an online support group of people who 2992 01:51:28,550 --> 01:51:25,360 claimed to be victims of this version of 2993 01:51:29,430 --> 01:51:28,560 the necronomicon a fictitional book by 2994 01:51:36,310 --> 01:51:29,440 the 2995 01:51:39,030 --> 01:51:36,320 right exactly yeah would you be willing 2996 01:51:41,270 --> 01:51:39,040 to spend a few minutes discussing your 2997 01:51:43,270 --> 01:51:41,280 thoughts on and views on this i think 2998 01:51:44,629 --> 01:51:43,280 that's a good question yeah it's a good 2999 01:51:46,709 --> 01:51:44,639 question i gotta tell you something you 3000 01:51:48,229 --> 01:51:46,719 know okay i've read about that for years 3001 01:51:50,870 --> 01:51:48,239 the traps and everything you know i've 3002 01:51:53,109 --> 01:51:50,880 never had anybody say specifically what 3003 01:51:55,350 --> 01:51:53,119 those traps are actually point to now 3004 01:51:57,430 --> 01:51:55,360 i've used some of the rituals in there 3005 01:51:58,870 --> 01:51:57,440 uh like when i do some did some of my 3006 01:52:01,669 --> 01:51:58,880 rituals i did 3007 01:52:03,350 --> 01:52:01,679 evocation of yog soto and i have uh one 3008 01:52:05,510 --> 01:52:03,360 of my magician friends would be in in 3009 01:52:07,350 --> 01:52:05,520 charge of the main circle and he would 3010 01:52:09,270 --> 01:52:07,360 always do that watcher which they've got 3011 01:52:11,030 --> 01:52:09,280 a rich one they're called the e-vocation 3012 01:52:12,950 --> 01:52:11,040 of the watcher and the watchers like 3013 01:52:15,669 --> 01:52:12,960 some kind entity that you conjure up to 3014 01:52:17,350 --> 01:52:15,679 kind of protect the area from any kind 3015 01:52:19,189 --> 01:52:17,360 untoward experiences because when you 3016 01:52:20,870 --> 01:52:19,199 start working with lovecraftian entities 3017 01:52:22,629 --> 01:52:20,880 a lot of things happen around the 3018 01:52:24,390 --> 01:52:22,639 perimeters of the circle and it was his 3019 01:52:26,550 --> 01:52:24,400 job to make sure it was all impregnable 3020 01:52:28,550 --> 01:52:26,560 so he would use the watcher ceremony and 3021 01:52:30,310 --> 01:52:28,560 i've used a couple of the other things 3022 01:52:32,149 --> 01:52:30,320 in here but i've never found any traps 3023 01:52:35,270 --> 01:52:32,159 at all now i'm a pretty experienced 3024 01:52:37,830 --> 01:52:35,280 magical practitioner but i'm pretty sure 3025 01:52:39,830 --> 01:52:37,840 that the traps are because of the 3026 01:52:42,229 --> 01:52:39,840 uh inexperience of the person doing it 3027 01:52:44,550 --> 01:52:42,239 not so much in the rituals themselves i 3028 01:52:46,229 --> 01:52:44,560 mean if you have to actually be very 3029 01:52:47,589 --> 01:52:46,239 highly disciplined you have to be very 3030 01:52:49,750 --> 01:52:47,599 strong world you have to have a good 3031 01:52:52,310 --> 01:52:49,760 motor calm of intelligence a good sense 3032 01:52:53,830 --> 01:52:52,320 of humor and you need to have magical 3033 01:52:56,149 --> 01:52:53,840 ability 3034 01:52:59,030 --> 01:52:56,159 also i would think that you would need 3035 01:53:01,350 --> 01:52:59,040 some form of rationale you know like a 3036 01:53:03,350 --> 01:53:01,360 goal and and this leads me to red's 3037 01:53:05,030 --> 01:53:03,360 third question considering that most of 3038 01:53:07,510 --> 01:53:05,040 lovecraft's fiction dealt with the 3039 01:53:10,310 --> 01:53:07,520 encroachment of vast unknowable horrors 3040 01:53:12,629 --> 01:53:10,320 into a reality inhabited by mankind is 3041 01:53:14,950 --> 01:53:12,639 there any other functional purpose for 3042 01:53:17,910 --> 01:53:14,960 working with such a system why would you 3043 01:53:19,350 --> 01:53:17,920 even do a lovecraft ritual well if 3044 01:53:21,189 --> 01:53:19,360 you're in a lower level of mental 3045 01:53:23,430 --> 01:53:21,199 development you do it to actually cause 3046 01:53:24,950 --> 01:53:23,440 an apocalypse there's actually a couple 3047 01:53:26,790 --> 01:53:24,960 groups around there 3048 01:53:28,629 --> 01:53:26,800 uh one group i forget what they call 3049 01:53:30,229 --> 01:53:28,639 himself but led by somebody calls him 3050 01:53:32,149 --> 01:53:30,239 virgo satanis 3051 01:53:33,750 --> 01:53:32,159 and he's actually does the rituals to 3052 01:53:35,750 --> 01:53:33,760 actually bring about the apocalypse he 3053 01:53:37,669 --> 01:53:35,760 wants to wipe out humanity the way 3054 01:53:40,470 --> 01:53:37,679 wilbur whaley tried to do on the dunwood 3055 01:53:42,390 --> 01:53:40,480 tour and replace this dimension with 3056 01:53:44,310 --> 01:53:42,400 great old ones that's not a very good 3057 01:53:45,669 --> 01:53:44,320 purpose usually what happens when you do 3058 01:53:47,750 --> 01:53:45,679 that you end up 3059 01:53:50,229 --> 01:53:47,760 messing up your own mind and the rest of 3060 01:53:51,990 --> 01:53:50,239 the world goes blissfully on but i read 3061 01:53:53,830 --> 01:53:52,000 his name's red he actually brings up a 3062 01:53:56,149 --> 01:53:53,840 very good question why would you want to 3063 01:53:58,310 --> 01:53:56,159 do that and the only answer that i can 3064 01:54:00,629 --> 01:53:58,320 give red for that is it's certainly not 3065 01:54:02,790 --> 01:54:00,639 for spiritual perfection okay now you 3066 01:54:04,709 --> 01:54:02,800 got donald tyson out there with that 3067 01:54:06,550 --> 01:54:04,719 well no you've got donald tyson out 3068 01:54:07,750 --> 01:54:06,560 there with the grim or the necronomicon 3069 01:54:09,430 --> 01:54:07,760 he argues that we're trying to 3070 01:54:11,430 --> 01:54:09,440 spiritually perfect ourselves and that 3071 01:54:13,270 --> 01:54:11,440 we have to mentor with the old ones and 3072 01:54:14,950 --> 01:54:13,280 that runs counter to everything in 3073 01:54:17,189 --> 01:54:14,960 lovecraft these things don't even 3074 01:54:19,030 --> 01:54:17,199 consider humans anything more than we 3075 01:54:22,229 --> 01:54:19,040 would consider an ant that's been a 3076 01:54:24,229 --> 01:54:22,239 termite to a commune with the dalai lama 3077 01:54:26,070 --> 01:54:24,239 yeah well that'd be like a termite by 3078 01:54:28,550 --> 01:54:26,080 trying to communicate with me so they 3079 01:54:30,310 --> 01:54:28,560 can become human we're going to step on 3080 01:54:31,830 --> 01:54:30,320 or eradicate we're not going to commit 3081 01:54:34,149 --> 01:54:31,840 we don't care about the trauma and the 3082 01:54:35,750 --> 01:54:34,159 old ones view us in that way too if we 3083 01:54:38,550 --> 01:54:35,760 want to see them viewing this that way 3084 01:54:41,030 --> 01:54:38,560 but there's only one reason for doing 3085 01:54:44,790 --> 01:54:41,040 this and i talk about that in my book 3086 01:54:46,070 --> 01:54:44,800 the goal of magic is basically knowledge 3087 01:54:47,910 --> 01:54:46,080 or power 3088 01:54:50,149 --> 01:54:47,920 and when i say knowledge of power it's 3089 01:54:51,830 --> 01:54:50,159 just simply knowledge it's just simply 3090 01:54:54,550 --> 01:54:51,840 knowledge a person goes to college they 3091 01:54:56,950 --> 01:54:54,560 get an undergraduate degree in 3092 01:54:58,310 --> 01:54:56,960 philosophy or psychology they gain a lot 3093 01:55:00,070 --> 01:54:58,320 of knowledge and then they can apply 3094 01:55:01,350 --> 01:55:00,080 that knowledge in certain ways right 3095 01:55:03,830 --> 01:55:01,360 well that's what we're doing here we're 3096 01:55:05,430 --> 01:55:03,840 gaining knowledge of things that are 3097 01:55:07,510 --> 01:55:05,440 behind the veil that we haven't been 3098 01:55:09,589 --> 01:55:07,520 able to see so it's just pure knowledge 3099 01:55:11,750 --> 01:55:09,599 and sometimes power sometimes you want 3100 01:55:14,229 --> 01:55:11,760 to make a little tweaking going on to 3101 01:55:15,990 --> 01:55:14,239 make your life more comfortable or to a 3102 01:55:17,910 --> 01:55:16,000 little spell or something so that's for 3103 01:55:21,030 --> 01:55:17,920 power too but i'm not talking about bad 3104 01:55:23,189 --> 01:55:21,040 knowledge to dominate or bad power to 3105 01:55:25,750 --> 01:55:23,199 dominate i'm talking about just pure 3106 01:55:27,589 --> 01:55:25,760 knowledge and power that's why we do it 3107 01:55:29,830 --> 01:55:27,599 there's no other reason for doing it 3108 01:55:32,149 --> 01:55:29,840 it's not certainly for self development 3109 01:55:33,910 --> 01:55:32,159 some people argue that if a person gets 3110 01:55:35,669 --> 01:55:33,920 more and more experiences dealing with 3111 01:55:37,350 --> 01:55:35,679 alternate dimensions and different 3112 01:55:40,149 --> 01:55:37,360 perceptions that when you die you don't 3113 01:55:42,390 --> 01:55:40,159 die you just simply perceive things 3114 01:55:43,830 --> 01:55:42,400 differently the way those zombies and 3115 01:55:45,030 --> 01:55:43,840 warm bodies are perceiving things 3116 01:55:46,550 --> 01:55:45,040 differently then you go on to a 3117 01:55:48,149 --> 01:55:46,560 different form of life in a different 3118 01:55:50,310 --> 01:55:48,159 dimension it's really concurrent with 3119 01:55:52,870 --> 01:55:50,320 this dimension right now you know so 3120 01:55:55,030 --> 01:55:52,880 maybe you prolong your life into another 3121 01:55:56,709 --> 01:55:55,040 form of life i don't know for sure can't 3122 01:55:58,950 --> 01:55:56,719 empirically prove it but i know for a 3123 01:56:01,510 --> 01:55:58,960 fact the reason why you do magic right 3124 01:56:03,830 --> 01:56:01,520 now here and now is for knowledge and 3125 01:56:05,990 --> 01:56:03,840 power so i i think that answers red's 3126 01:56:08,229 --> 01:56:06,000 question specifically i have a question 3127 01:56:10,470 --> 01:56:08,239 myself i wanted to drop in here 3128 01:56:12,070 --> 01:56:10,480 for those who really want to try to get 3129 01:56:13,830 --> 01:56:12,080 into this 3130 01:56:15,189 --> 01:56:13,840 and you know we see all the horror films 3131 01:56:18,550 --> 01:56:15,199 where somebody 3132 01:56:20,950 --> 01:56:18,560 child or a teenager is naive and they 3133 01:56:22,950 --> 01:56:20,960 look at these magical spells and they 3134 01:56:24,790 --> 01:56:22,960 try to do something and of course 3135 01:56:26,870 --> 01:56:24,800 there's always some bad result they call 3136 01:56:28,790 --> 01:56:26,880 up some horrible monster and have to 3137 01:56:31,030 --> 01:56:28,800 spend the rest of the film 3138 01:56:32,229 --> 01:56:31,040 trying to get rid of the monster and 3139 01:56:33,830 --> 01:56:32,239 learn 3140 01:56:36,629 --> 01:56:33,840 and become chastened because they 3141 01:56:37,750 --> 01:56:36,639 learned that you're not supposed 3142 01:56:38,629 --> 01:56:37,760 to 3143 01:56:39,589 --> 01:56:38,639 mess 3144 01:56:41,030 --> 01:56:39,599 with 3145 01:56:42,870 --> 01:56:41,040 powers that are beyond your 3146 01:56:46,229 --> 01:56:42,880 understanding you have to be careful you 3147 01:56:47,910 --> 01:56:46,239 have to be knowledgeable oh yeah okay so 3148 01:56:49,750 --> 01:56:47,920 and we're going to talk about this in 3149 01:56:52,790 --> 01:56:49,760 the remaining three segments plus more 3150 01:56:54,629 --> 01:56:52,800 listeners questions and that is 3151 01:56:57,189 --> 01:56:54,639 for our next segment maybe we'll start 3152 01:56:59,510 --> 01:56:57,199 with this the answer to this question 3153 01:57:01,109 --> 01:56:59,520 all right if some of our listeners want 3154 01:57:02,709 --> 01:57:01,119 to read up on this they'll read up your 3155 01:57:04,790 --> 01:57:02,719 book they maybe do some follow-up 3156 01:57:05,990 --> 01:57:04,800 research and they want to cast a few 3157 01:57:08,550 --> 01:57:06,000 spells 3158 01:57:11,750 --> 01:57:08,560 and i'll caution you that i'm not saying 3159 01:57:13,750 --> 01:57:11,760 people should cast spells necessarily 3160 01:57:16,310 --> 01:57:13,760 but maybe just 3161 01:57:19,910 --> 01:57:16,320 to play with a few things that's all 3162 01:57:21,750 --> 01:57:19,920 should we tell them no no way 3163 01:57:23,510 --> 01:57:21,760 wait until you really know what you're 3164 01:57:26,229 --> 01:57:23,520 doing or is there something they could 3165 01:57:29,669 --> 01:57:26,239 do to just you know test the waters 3166 01:57:31,270 --> 01:57:29,679 without any really nasty blowback it 3167 01:57:33,510 --> 01:57:31,280 sounds like the beginnings of a horror 3168

still in the process of adding and 3294 02:02:46,870 --> 02:02:44,800 that's for a little bit more advanced 3295 02:02:48,629 --> 02:02:46,880 students i think anybody could use those 3296 02:02:50,470 --> 02:02:48,639 rituals advantageously even if they're 3297 02:02:53,750 --> 02:02:50,480 not very well developed but if somebody 3298 02:02:56,470 --> 02:02:53,760 wants to start at a basic beginner level 3299 02:02:58,629 --> 02:02:56,480 and start learning to use these kinds of 3300 02:03:01,030 --> 02:02:58,639 forces or these kind of elements i can 3301 02:03:02,709 --> 02:03:01,040 only recommend one guy okay now i don't 3302 02:03:04,910 --> 02:03:02,719 know if his books are all in print yet 3303 02:03:07,510 --> 02:03:04,920 you can get him at lewell his name is 3304 02:03:09,990 --> 02:03:07,520 constantinos it's a greek name i don't 3305 02:03:12,950 --> 02:03:10,000 know what his real name is his name is 3306 02:03:14,390 --> 02:03:12,960 constantinos he's got a book called the 3307 02:03:15,910 --> 02:03:14,400 nocturnacon 3308 02:03:18,870 --> 02:03:15,920 he's got a book called the gothic 3309 02:03:22,149 --> 02:03:18,880 grimoire he's got a book called gothic 3310 02:03:24,229 --> 02:03:22,159 witchcraft and those books are great for 3311 02:03:26,950 --> 02:03:24,239 the beginner they take you into it real 3312 02:03:28,550 --> 02:03:26,960 slowly they don't go any farther and you 3313 02:03:30,470 --> 02:03:28,560 get a feel of what it's like to deal 3314 02:03:32,629 --> 02:03:30,480 with these types of forces and these 3315 02:03:34,790 --> 02:03:32,639 types of entities i would argue that if 3316 02:03:36,950 --> 02:03:34,800 you're actually sufficiently educated 3317 02:03:39,030 --> 02:03:36,960 and skilled you're not running any risk 3318 02:03:41,510 --> 02:03:39,040 whatsoever unless you mix up the planes 3319 02:03:43,669 --> 02:03:41,520 in some odd way but i would suggest 3320 02:03:45,510 --> 02:03:43,679 those books for the beginner 3321 02:03:48,070 --> 02:03:45,520 i won't suggest jumping right into the 3322 02:03:50,470 --> 02:03:48,080 necronomicon but i don't know no no no 3323 02:03:52,870 --> 02:03:50,480 there's way more kind of uh early 3324 02:03:54,950 --> 02:03:52,880 walk before you run uh research that 3325 02:03:57,830 --> 02:03:54,960 needs to be done once you've gone 3326 02:04:00,390 --> 02:03:57,840 through uh constantino says uh 3327 02:04:02,629 --> 02:04:00,400 one or two books there an another really 3328 02:04:04,149 --> 02:04:02,639 good uh tried and true classic is magic 3329 02:04:06,070 --> 02:04:04,159 and theory and practice by alistair 3330 02:04:07,669 --> 02:04:06,080 crowley it's a little dense it's a 3331 02:04:10,629 --> 02:04:07,679 little difficult to read 3332 02:04:12,870 --> 02:04:10,639 but in terms of presenting the very 3333 02:04:14,870 --> 02:04:12,880 basics about 3334 02:04:16,709 --> 02:04:14,880 magical traditions 3335 02:04:17,589 --> 02:04:16,719 why you would even consider doing some 3336 02:04:19,510 --> 02:04:17,599 sort of 3337 02:04:22,070 --> 02:04:19,520 real serious ritual everything we do in 3338

02:04:30,709 --> 02:04:28,239 how much intent is has been encapsulated 3342 02:04:32,550 --> 02:04:30,719 behind the intent of the ritual 3343 02:04:35,589 --> 02:04:32,560 magic and theory and practice is a very 3344 02:04:37,910 --> 02:04:35,599 good book also dion fortune for people 3345 02:04:39,830 --> 02:04:37,920 that want to slide into it more maybe in 3346 02:04:43,750 --> 02:04:39,840 a fictional realm she wrote quite a 3347 02:04:46,790 --> 02:04:43,760 number of novels and as did crowley 3348 02:04:49,189 --> 02:04:46,800 about neophytes getting involved in in 3349 02:04:50,950 --> 02:04:49,199 serious magical traditions so you know 3350 02:04:53,430 --> 02:04:50,960 there's more than one way to approach it 3351 02:04:55,350 --> 02:04:53,440 but you really really make sure that 3352 02:04:56,950 --> 02:04:55,360 your motives are pure and your means are 3353 02:04:58,550 --> 02:04:56,960 correct 3354 02:04:59,990 --> 02:04:58,560 yeah well those books

and he's got his own evocation of the uh 3380 02:05:55,109 --> 02:05:53,760 holy guardian angel in there too you 3381 02:05:56,709 --> 02:05:55,119 know so it's got a lot of interesting 3382 02:05:58,550 --> 02:05:56,719 rituals i don't think there's any 3383 02:06:00,550 --> 02:05:58,560 pitfalls or any hidden traps in that 3384 02:06:02,390 --> 02:06:00,560 like some occults have claimed no i 3385 02:06:04,310 --> 02:06:02,400 think it's just the writing style it's 3386 02:06:05,910 --> 02:06:04,320 the actual you know the end of the 3387 02:06:07,750 --> 02:06:05,920 victorian age where he was really trying 3388 02:06:09,750 --> 02:06:07,760 to impress people with his 3389 02:06:11,270 --> 02:06:09,760 intellectual knowledge and his verbosity 3390 02:06:13,669 --> 02:06:11,280 and at the same time he was actually 3391 02:06:15,430 --> 02:06:13,679 trying to to create something fairly 3392 02:06:17,189 --> 02:06:15,440 basic and fundamental for people to 3393 02:06:19,990 --> 02:06:17,199 become you know 3394 02:06:21,510 --> 02:06:20,000 initially exposed to uh the golden dawn 3395 02:06:23,270 --> 02:06:21,520 system of magic which is which is 3396 02:06:24,950 --> 02:06:23,280 basically what we're talking about here 3397 02:06:26,629 --> 02:06:24,960 that's another good book if you can find 3398 02:06:28,709 --> 02:06:26,639 it israel regardies you know the 3399 02:06:30,629 --> 02:06:28,719 complete golden dawn system of magic 3400 02:06:32,790 --> 02:06:30,639 which is a little difficult to find but 3401 02:06:34,310 --> 02:06:32,800 boy i'll tell you that's 3402 02:06:36,229 --> 02:06:34,320 if you have any sort of interest in 3403 02:06:37,830 --> 02:06:36,239 these subjects if you read that one 3404 02:06:39,350 --> 02:06:37,840 you'll see crowley stole all of his 3405 02:06:41,109 --> 02:06:39,360 rituals from the golden dawn what he did 3406 02:06:43,109 --> 02:06:41,119 is he streamlined him but they're all 3407 02:06:44,950 --> 02:06:43,119 basically in that golden dawn book you 3408 02:06:46,550 --> 02:06:44,960 know so he stole it all he broke his 3409 02:06:48,069 --> 02:06:46,560 oath he took an oath when he went to the 3410 02:06:49,910 --> 02:06:48,079 golden dawn they wasn't going to reveal 3411 02:06:51,750 --> 02:06:49,920 any of that stuff first thing he did 3412 02:06:54,149 --> 02:06:51,760 when he saw the order he revealed it all 3413 02:06:56,069 --> 02:06:54,159 in the equinox the volumes by the way i 3414 02:06:57,750 --> 02:06:56,079 got two sets of those but back in the 3415 02:07:00,069 --> 02:06:57,760 old days when it was samuel weisser i 3416 02:07:02,149 --> 02:07:00,079 bought two sets of the equinox i got one 3417 02:07:03,990 --> 02:07:02,159 clean copy that i never touched it's 3418 02:07:06,310 --> 02:07:04,000 just like minted gold and then the other 3419 02:07:08,550 --> 02:07:06,320 one i've got notes and stuff in those 3420 02:07:10,149 --> 02:07:08,560 books are all good i think people should 3421 02:07:11,589 --> 02:07:10,159 experiment with these things you know 3422 02:07:12,390 --> 02:07:11,599 they shouldn't be afraid to do it but 3423 02:07:14,390 --> 02:07:12,400 they should 3424 02:07:16,229 --> 02:07:14,400 try and get themselves as 3425 02:07:18,310 --> 02:07:16,239 intellectualized as possible and they 3426 02:07:20,390 --> 02:07:18,320 should try and deepen their ability to 3427 02:07:22,550 --> 02:07:20,400 do things like astral traveling and then 3428 02:07:25,750 --> 02:07:22,560 basic rituals before they start jumping 3429 02:07:27,109 --> 02:07:25,760 in it takes a lot of work 3430 02:07:29,589 --> 02:07:27,119 in terms of just 3431 02:07:31,990 --> 02:07:29,599 bringing yourself up to speed 3432 02:07:35,189 --> 02:07:32,000 it's an incredibly complex 3433 02:07:38,390 --> 02:07:35,199 subject and this is definitely it would 3434 02:07:40,870 --> 02:07:38,400 be advisable to really do some research 3435 02:07:43,910 --> 02:07:40,880 get yourself up to speed you know take 3436 02:07:46,229 --> 02:07:43,920 baby steps start start small don't try 3437 02:07:48,790 --> 02:07:46,239 to bite off more than you can chew 3438 02:07:51,669 --> 02:07:48,800 for obvious reasons i think 3439 02:07:53,669 --> 02:07:51,679 as john as you mentioned before it's 3440 02:07:55,589 --> 02:07:53,679 it's people attempting to to bite off 3441 02:07:56,870 --> 02:07:55,599 more than they can chew and then ending 3442 02:07:57,669 --> 02:07:56,880 up dealing with something that they 3443 02:07:59,510 --> 02:07:57,679 really 3444 02:08:01,109 --> 02:07:59,520 have no business being in a position to 3445 02:08:02,870 --> 02:08:01,119 have to deal with yeah but you know 3446 02:08:05,750 --> 02:08:02,880 that's a human thing remember back in 3447 02:08:08,870 --> 02:08:05,760 the 30s a bride of frankenstein you have 3448 02:08:10,550 --> 02:08:08,880 like frankenstein's wife saying oh henry 3449 02:08:12,390 --> 02:08:10,560 we are not meant to deal with these kind 3450 02:08:14,390 --> 02:08:12,400 of things you know that's a standard 3451 02:08:15,910 --> 02:08:14,400 human reaction and in the end the moral 3452 02:08:17,430 --> 02:08:15,920 is well we better leave these things 3453 02:08:18,870 --> 02:08:17,440 alone go to church you know because we 3454 02:08:21,109 --> 02:08:18,880 shouldn't deal with and you know they're 3455 02:08:24,390 --> 02:08:21,119 still playing that tired old theme right 3456 02:08:26,229 --> 02:08:24,400 now take baby steps no no i'm not saying 3457 02:08:28,310 --> 02:08:26,239 you know turn your back on on the 3458 02:08:30,550 --> 02:08:28,320 subject matter i mean this is very very 3459 02:08:32,870 --> 02:08:30,560 controversial belief system to even be 3460 02:08:36,149 --> 02:08:32,880 talking about uh on talk radio in this 3461 02:08:38,149 --> 02:08:36,159 country uh in this day and age but uh i 3462 02:08:41,669 --> 02:08:38,159 think taking baby steps 3463 02:08:43,669 --> 02:08:41,679 becoming informed finding a system or an 3464 02:08:45,430 --> 02:08:43,679 approach that that seems to kind of 3465 02:08:47,669 --> 02:08:45,440 resonate with you that you 3466 02:08:48,790 --> 02:08:47,679 you feel a connection with because 3467 02:08:50,709 --> 02:08:48,800 there's there's 3468 02:08:51,750 --> 02:08:50,719 more than a few ways to skin the cat so 3469 02:08:53,510 --> 02:08:51,760 to speak 3470 02:08:55,030 --> 02:08:53,520 even in popular culture you know they're 3471 02:08:56,310 --> 02:08:55,040 right back to the frankenstein thing you 3472 02:08:57,510 --> 02:08:56,320 know that we shouldn't meddle in these 3473 02:08:59,430 --> 02:08:57,520 kind of things and of course all the 3474 02:09:01,189 --> 02:08:59,440 religious people so you we're on this 3475 02:09:02,950 --> 02:09:01,199 show right here so we're not members of 3476 02:09:04,390 --> 02:09:02,960 that group so you're talking to people 3477 02:09:05,830 --> 02:09:04,400 that aren't members of the group too but 3478 02:09:07,589 --> 02:09:05,840 the majority of people out there and 3479 02:09:09,030 --> 02:09:07,599 that's where what fuels these movies 3480 02:09:10,550 --> 02:09:09,040 you're talking about you got young 3481 02:09:11,830 --> 02:09:10,560 people they're messing around with 3482 02:09:13,589 --> 02:09:11,840 things they shouldn't mess around with 3483 02:09:14,870 --> 02:09:13,599 and they get their just results you know 3484 02:09:17,270 --> 02:09:14,880 that thing is still with us 3485 02:09:18,790 --> 02:09:17,280 unfortunately you know so 3486 02:09:20,629 --> 02:09:18,800 i think what we can do is help the 3487 02:09:22,069 --> 02:09:20,639 people have always stepped beyond that a 3488 02:09:24,229 --> 02:09:22,079 little bit and i think you're right the 3489 02:09:25,030 --> 02:09:24,239 baby steps is probably the best way to 3490 02:09:26,629 --> 02:09:25,040 go 3491 02:09:29,109 --> 02:09:26,639 you should mention of course in the real 3492 02:09:31,030 --> 02:09:29,119 world the fate of the guy who played 3493 02:09:33,109 --> 02:09:31,040 henry frankenstein in the bride of 3494 02:09:34,470 --> 02:09:33,119 frankenstein frankenstein 3495 02:09:36,950 --> 02:09:34,480 two years after the bride of 3496 02:09:38,229 --> 02:09:36,960 frankenstein colin clive 3497 02:09:40,149 --> 02:09:38,239 died 3498 02:09:41,990 --> 02:09:40,159 and he was an alcoholic and he also 3499 02:09:44,069 --> 02:09:42,000 suffered from tuberculosis and the guy 3500 02:09:46,390 --> 02:09:44,079 must have been in his 30s i don't think 3501 02:09:48,310 --> 02:09:46,400 it's because he he was a very troubled 3502 02:09:51,990 --> 02:09:48,320 guy i mean he was obviously a brilliant 3503 02:09:53,910 --> 02:09:52,000 actor but a really really troubled 3504 02:09:56,390 --> 02:09:53,920 was i've read i've read about his life 3505 02:09:57,669 --> 02:09:56,400 you know he uh was a terrible alcoholic 3506 02:09:59,430 --> 02:09:57,679 he was just on the verge of getting 3507 02:10:01,990 --> 02:09:59,440 worse when he was in that movie but he 3508 02:10:04,470 --> 02:10:02,000 was a very high strung kind of a person 3509 02:10:07,270 --> 02:10:04,480 to uh the guy that directed those movies 3510 02:10:10,149 --> 02:10:07,280 of course uh james james whale he 3511 02:10:12,149 --> 02:10:10,159 actually had done he'd had uh colin 3512 02:10:13,669 --> 02:10:12,159 klein working at play with him before 3513 02:10:15,189 --> 02:10:13,679 you know so he liked the guy he liked 3514 02:10:16,950 --> 02:10:15,199 how high strong he was you know but he 3515 02:10:19,189 --> 02:10:16,960 would use anybody to get the best on but 3516 02:10:21,669 --> 02:10:19,199 you're right he died very shortly after 3517 02:10:23,990 --> 02:10:21,679 that at a very young age 3518 02:10:24,950 --> 02:10:24,000 we've got more to come guys

3623 02:15:01,910 --> 02:14:59,280 this book is from the future 3624 02:15:13,350 --> 02:15:01,920 and you are listening to the paracast 3625 02:15:16,390 --> 02:15:15,350 remember when they had bought it from 3626 02:15:17,910 --> 02:15:16,400 bella 3627 02:15:20,069 --> 02:15:17,920 a minute ago 3628 02:15:22,629 --> 02:15:20,079 and in those days when karloff and 3629 02:15:25,589 --> 02:15:22,639 lugosi teamed up in movies it wasn't 3630 02:15:28,390 --> 02:15:25,599 boris karloff it was just karloff 3631 02:15:30,470 --> 02:15:28,400 yeah he actually eclipsed uh bella 3632 02:15:32,629 --> 02:15:30,480 lugosi completely you know he'd always 3633 02:15:34,390 --> 02:15:32,639 get first billing it was always karloff 3634 02:15:37,430 --> 02:15:34,400 and then right under him in smaller font 3635 02:15:42,870 --> 02:15:40,149 history as we all remember and that film 3636 02:15:44,229 --> 02:15:42,880 wasn't ed wood shows bella lugosi in his 3637 02:15:46,629 --> 02:15:44,239 final years 3638 02:15:49,189 --> 02:15:46,639 where he recovered from his addiction to 3639 02:15:51,830 --> 02:15:49,199 painkillers because of a back problem 3640 02:15:53,990 --> 02:15:51,840 and then he appeared in these 3641 02:15:55,910 --> 02:15:54,000 nothing films for his final years yeah 3642 02:15:57,750 --> 02:15:55,920 but you know what something about lugosi 3643 02:15:59,750 --> 02:15:57,760 he was working you know i mean he wasn't 3644 02:16:01,189 --> 02:15:59,760 making a lot of money but he was working 3645 02:16:03,430 --> 02:16:01,199 consistently he might have been those 3646 02:16:05,910 --> 02:16:03,440 poverty role pictures and stuff but the 3647 02:16:07,830 --> 02:16:05,920 man was working and his name was out 3648 02:16:09,669 --> 02:16:07,840 there he was out there so you know a lot 3649 02:16:10,950 --> 02:16:09,679 of times now but there's a lot of people 3650 02:16:13,270 --> 02:16:10,960 that actually put him a little bit 3651 02:16:14,870 --> 02:16:13,280 higher than uh karloff karloff was 3652 02:16:16,950 --> 02:16:14,880 certainly a better actor but some people 3653 02:16:19,189 --> 02:16:16,960 put lugosi high because he has just this 3654 02:16:21,990 --> 02:16:19,199 manic demonic 3655 02:16:25,109 --> 02:16:22,000 whatever persona about it name the one 3656 02:16:27,669 --> 02:16:25,119 movie or series of movies actually that 3657 02:16:28,709 --> 02:16:27,679 lugosi played a romantic lead and the 3658 02:16:31,589 --> 02:16:28,719 hero 3659 02:16:34,230 --> 02:16:31,599 he only did one okay well let's see that 3660 02:16:37,990 --> 02:16:34,240 was uh oh boy see what's happening here 3661 02:16:41,509 --> 02:16:39,910 ever play a hero 3662 02:16:43,030 --> 02:16:41,519 i'm thinking of my favorite one which 3663 02:16:44,870 --> 02:16:43,040 would be the black cat of course but i'm 3664 02:16:46,950 --> 02:16:44,880 trying to think if he was ever fully the 3665 02:16:49,429 --> 02:16:46,960 hero well the black cat he was kind of a 3666 02:16:50,950 --> 02:16:49,439 hero yes 3667 02:16:53,190 --> 02:16:50,960 was really the villain 3668 02:16:55,750 --> 02:16:53,200 yeah and then uh one they gave him 3669 02:16:56,549 --> 02:16:55,760 primacy in that other movie too but paul 3670 02:16:58,150 --> 02:16:56,559 won 3671 02:17:00,469 --> 02:16:58,160 the rave and they gave him primacy and 3672 02:17:01,990 --> 02:17:00,479 that one over also the invisible ray 3673 02:17:04,070 --> 02:17:02,000 remember that where they developed this 3674 02:17:07,669 --> 02:17:04,080 device 3675 02:17:10,549 --> 02:17:07,679 and karloff once again was the bad guy 3676 02:17:12,389 --> 02:17:10,559 right and i believe lugosi was 3677 02:17:13,110 --> 02:17:12,399 the kindly one there i mean you could 3678 02:17:15,509 --> 02:17:13,120 see 3679 02:17:18,230 --> 02:17:15,519 this he was a pretty good actor because 3680 02:17:20,549 --> 02:17:18,240 he could play the role of kind of a 3681 02:17:23,509 --> 02:17:20,559 father figure and he'd be very kind and 3682 02:17:26,629 --> 02:17:23,519 very gentle and then he'd be a monster 3683 02:17:33,429 --> 02:17:26,639 he played igor too or igor i say igor 3684 02:17:38,549 --> 02:17:35,669 frankenstein you know so he was a pretty 3685 02:17:41,190 --> 02:17:38,559 good actor he was reduced though by the 3686 02:17:43,750 --> 02:17:41,200 time they had what was it the first 3687 02:17:45,270 --> 02:17:43,760 frankenstein and the wolf man where the 3688 02:17:46,549 --> 02:17:45,280 frankenstein monster was played by 3689 02:17:48,870 --> 02:17:46,559 lugosi 3690 02:17:51,509 --> 02:17:48,880 he was reduced to that where he would be 3691 02:17:53,110 --> 02:17:51,519 a voiceless monster yeah and it was a 3692 02:17:54,950 --> 02:17:53,120 shame too because they gave him a script 3693 02:17:56,950 --> 02:17:54,960 to that movie and they told him the 3694 02:17:58,950 --> 02:17:56,960 frankenstein monster was blind and so he 3695 02:18:00,629 --> 02:17:58,960 played it like it was a blind monster 3696 02:18:01,750 --> 02:18:00,639 and then they kept that conveniently 3697 02:18:03,349 --> 02:18:01,760 quiet and then when the movie was 3698 02:18:05,429 --> 02:18:03,359 released they said look at legos he's 3699 02:18:07,110 --> 02:18:05,439 overacting he's a terrible actor he was 3700 02:18:08,549 --> 02:18:07,120 actually trying to act like the monster 3701 02:18:11,030 --> 02:18:08,559 was blind he couldn't see what he was 3702 02:18:13,910 --> 02:18:11,040 doing you're kidding that is that's true 3703 02:18:15,509 --> 02:18:13,920 yes i remember that oh man 3704 02:18:17,429 --> 02:18:15,519 they set them up for that you know they 3705 02:18:19,110 --> 02:18:17,439 set them up for that and then later on 3706 02:18:21,030 --> 02:18:19,120 they had john kerrigan who actually 3707 02:18:23,110 --> 02:18:21,040 looks like bram stoker's version of 3708 02:18:24,790 --> 02:18:23,120 dracula a little bit more they had him 3709 02:18:25,990 --> 02:18:24,800 play the dragon but carradine the rest 3710 02:18:28,709 --> 02:18:26,000 of these actors they just didn't have 3711 02:18:30,790 --> 02:18:28,719 that manic intensity that lugosi had 3712 02:18:32,709 --> 02:18:30,800 and lugosi got a chance again with ebb 3713 02:18:35,349 --> 02:18:32,719 and costello meet frankenstein to play 3714 02:18:39,110 --> 02:18:36,950 and the monster was played in those 3715 02:18:41,349 --> 02:18:39,120 final films after costello meet 3716 02:18:43,830 --> 02:18:41,359

necronomicon they created 3768 02:20:38,870 --> 02:20:36,640 this kind of pseudo-history of the 3769 02:20:41,030 --> 02:20:38,880 necronomicon when it was first 3770 02:20:42,070 --> 02:20:41,040 compiled and then different translations 3771 02:20:43,830 --> 02:20:42,080 of it over the years but it's a 3772 02:20:45,510 --> 02:20:43,840 fictional book and they none of them 3773 02:20:47,750 --> 02:20:45,520 took it seriously they didn't take the 3774 02:20:49,349 --> 02:20:47,760 myth so seriously you know they all knew 3775 02:20:51,270 --> 02:20:49,359 it was a fictional book and lovecraft 3776 02:20:52,870 --> 02:20:51,280 liked it if they worked it into their 3777 02:20:54,790 --> 02:20:52,880 stories he liked it if they worked in 3778 02:20:56,309 --> 02:20:54,800 some of his entities and he would work 3779 02:20:58,950 --> 02:20:56,319 in their entities too but it was just a 3780 02:21:00,950 --> 02:20:58,960 big game it was a joke they would trade 3781 02:21:02,790 --> 02:21:00,960 stories with each other and and 3782 02:21:04,309 --> 02:21:02,800 sometimes he'd do revision works and he 3783 02:21:06,309 --> 02:21:04,319 put some of his things and so it's just 3784 02:21:07,990 --> 02:21:06,319 all fun it was all just fun and games to 3785 02:21:10,070 --> 02:21:08,000 them they weren't trying to actually 3786 02:21:11,670 --> 02:21:10,080 create anything serious here in fact 3787 02:21:13,750 --> 02:21:11,680 lovecraft called his work he didn't call 3788 02:21:16,389 --> 02:21:13,760 the cthulhu mythos by the way he called 3789 02:21:18,550 --> 02:21:16,399 it yog-sothory he said i wonder if 3790 02:21:20,469 --> 02:21:18,560 anybody will ever take my yogg saw three 3791 02:21:22,150 --> 02:21:20,479 series he thought it was funny you know 3792 02:21:23,670 --> 02:21:22,160 the whole thing was human right it was 3793 02:21:26,550 --> 02:21:23,680 kind of like a 3794 02:21:29,190 --> 02:21:26,560 nerdy joke really yeah amongst 3795 02:21:32,870 --> 02:21:29,200 himself and his his real cutting edge 3796 02:21:37,830 --> 02:21:35,830 he wasn't robert howard 3797 02:21:39,910 --> 02:21:37,840 all those crazy guys durleth robert 3798 02:21:41,590 --> 02:21:39,920 howard clark aston smith robert block 3799 02:21:43,429 --> 02:21:41,600 was involved in it for a time it was 3800 02:21:45,030 --> 02:21:43,439 just a fun game you know sometimes 3801 02:21:46,550 --> 02:21:45,040 they'd visit each other in person but 3802 02:21:48,469 --> 02:21:46,560 most of the time was just all handled 3803 02:21:50,469 --> 02:21:48,479 with correspondence and they were having 3804 02:21:52,070 --> 02:21:50,479 a great old time that's how lovecraft 3805 02:21:53,990 --> 02:21:52,080 was comfortable he was more comfortable 3806 02:21:56,230 --> 02:21:54,000 writing letters and dealing with people 3807 02:21:57,910 --> 02:21:56,240 that way than he was actually face to 3808 02:21:59,990 --> 02:21:57,920 face that was his preferred method of 3809 02:22:01,590 --> 02:22:00,000 communication so he didn't go out there 3810 02:22:03,429 --> 02:22:01,600 and do book signings 3811 02:22:04,790 --> 02:22:03,439 no he didn't do any book science and he 3812 02:22:06,550 --> 02:22:04,800 plus he thought when he died he thought 3813 02:22:08,389 --> 02:22:06,560 he was a complete failure okay he 3814 02:22:10,309 --> 02:22:08,399 thought it was a complete failure a lot 3815 02:22:12,309 --> 02:22:10,319 of his best things had been rejected by 3816 02:22:14,070 --> 02:22:12,319 weird tales that was his only market he 3817 02:22:15,990 --> 02:22:14,080 couldn't get a hardcover book in print 3818 02:22:17,349 --> 02:22:16,000 he got a couple stories to appear in 3819 02:22:20,950 --> 02:22:17,359 anthology but he thought he was a 3820 02:22:23,030 --> 02:22:20,960 complete failure when he died he was 47 3821 02:22:25,830 --> 02:22:23,040 when he died yeah 3822 02:22:27,990 --> 02:22:25,840 yeah but he had gone downhill for 3823 02:22:29,750 --> 02:22:28,000 actually quite a bit of time before that 3824 02:22:31,590 --> 02:22:29,760 when he turned 40 then things really 3825 02:22:32,950 --> 02:22:31,600 started to go downhill for him 3826 02:22:34,389 --> 02:22:32,960 psychologically 3827 02:22:36,309 --> 02:22:34,399 he wasn't taking care of himself 3828 02:22:38,870 --> 02:22:36,319 physically you know he was relying on 3829 02:22:40,550 --> 02:22:38,880 canned food and stuff and secondary food 3830 02:22:42,389 --> 02:22:40,560 he'd never made a lot of money so he 3831 02:22:44,870 --> 02:22:42,399 would actually pride himself on not 3832 02:22:47,910 --> 02:22:44,880 spending too much on food and that kind 3833 02:22:49,590 --> 02:22:47,920 of contribute to his his bad health too 3834 02:22:51,190 --> 02:22:49,600 and stuff but he he thought he was a 3835 02:22:53,990 --> 02:22:51,200 complete failure if he could come alive 3836 02:22:55,670 --> 02:22:54,000 today he'd be amazed at the stature that 3837 02:22:57,670 --> 02:22:55,680 he'd achieved and also he'd be a little 3838 02:22:59,429 --> 02:22:57,680 bit richer too which would be nice for 3839 02:23:01,510 --> 02:22:59,439 him i think isn't that strange how many 3840 02:23:05,270 --> 02:23:01,520 dead people are out there who 3841 02:23:07,990 --> 02:23:05,280 were authors or painters or in film and 3842

4195 02:36:17,030 --> 02:36:14,960 truth it's entertainment but we're we're 4196 02:36:19,190 --> 02:36:17,040 deadly serious about the the quality of 4197 02:36:21,830 --> 02:36:19,200 education that we we're hoping that our 4198 02:36:23,990 --> 02:36:21,840 listenership is is getting we uh we 4199 02:36:26,710 --> 02:36:24,000 pride ourselves on our um 4200 02:36:28,469 --> 02:36:26,720 motto of separating signal from noise 4201 02:36:31,910 --> 02:36:28,479 we try to do things differently than a 4202 02:36:33,270 --> 02:36:31,920 lot of people here that's why the show 4203 02:36:36,550 --> 02:36:33,280 obviously gets a different kind of 4204 02:36:38,550 --> 02:36:36,560 reaction so for example we will often 4205 02:36:40,870 --> 02:36:38,560 bring on a guest and if they're 4206 02:36:41,910 --> 02:36:40,880 obviously playing games with us 4207 02:36:43,590 --> 02:36:41,920 and we think they don't know what 4208 02:36:45,270 --> 02:36:43,600 they're talking about or they give 4209 02:36:49,349 --> 02:36:45,280 explanations of what they do that comes 4210 02:36:51,270 --> 02:36:49,359 across as gibberish or word salad if we 4211 02:36:53,830 --> 02:36:51,280 find that we will 4212 02:36:56,150 --> 02:36:53,840 call them out on their word salad oh 4213 02:36:57,429 --> 02:36:56,160 yeah oh yeah extraordinary claims 4214 02:36:59,750 --> 02:36:57,439 require at least a little bit of 4215 02:37:02,469 --> 02:36:59,760 evidence and some common sense we can 4216 02:37:04,150 --> 02:37:02,479 dig that too okay once again for people 4217 02:37:06,950 --> 02:37:04,160 who
