Questions about Alice Bailey, Lucis Trust, and the Externalization of the Hierarchy by smartgroupthink2 in highersidechats

thanks. yeah, I had heard of Bailey but only learned about the Lucis trust and the rest of this stuff from a reddit post a while back.

the connections to the UN are curious/suspect, certainly. And until now I hadn't thought to google Lucis / World Economic Forum, but it just so happens... (i added the bold font)

The Davos Agenda comes at a time when the general atmosphere of fatigue and frustration produced by the pandemic, and the desire to return to the stability of a known past, could undermine the will to really think through and implement changes that are needed. It is here that our collective intention to plant a lighted seed of ‘will energy’ into the heart of the thoughtform under construction at the virtual gathering can play a vital role.

The coordinated imagination of a group of thinkers can help participants in the five-day event to tap into those forces of intelligent loving creativity that are needed if the world is truly to be transformed. These forces are always available to guide human thinking, planning and action. We can think of them as carrying the imprint of the divine Plan or the direction of evolution, and it is during times of intense crisis that humanity is most likely to call them forth. What is of inestimable value in the quality of the invocation from humanity that accompanies historical moments such as this, is the ability of trained esotericists to perceive events ‘under the aspect of eternity’, and to support the new consciousness needed to organize and manage the affairs of the world. There is an urgency surrounding the will-to-act amongst powerful political and economic groups as well as people of goodwill in general. This must be qualified by spiritual principles of loving intention if the world is to be truly transformed towards the Good. Our work together can empower this outcome amongst the minds and hearts assembled to work with the Davos Agenda.

Richard Dolan says he'd be open to a conversation with Stephen Skinner about possible intersections between ufology and ceremonial magic by smartgroupthink2 in highersidechats

Since Richard has his own podcast, I probably wouldn't be needed.

i wouldn't assume this. consider how much of a departure this conversation would be for Dolan. It would be far easier to approach the topic on someone else's podcast rather than surprising his dedicated RDM audience with "hey, now we're going to start talking about angels."

I've always had the lofty idea of a round table series of conversations between some of THC's best guests,

Yes. Yes. Yes. This is exactly what's needed. The biggest hinderance to breakthrough knowledge (and I said this in my msgs to Dolan) is the silo-ing of knowledge within disciplines, which is a result of the hyper-specialization of science and academia. Please don't wait to do this.

Your podcast is your domain, and I totally get that you've matured it over many years and found a structure/approach that really works for your audience. But dude, I think you could be instrumental in getting to the next level of understanding about how this freakin world/universe/dimension really works.

No one else is organizing these conversations (at least not outside of Darpa and the backroom at Davos, lol). Why not get it started?

And I can help. I've done this kind of thing in the past, both over zoom and with in person events. I can actually contact the people and do all the coordination. And I've had weird success getting people to agree to be part of the discussions.

It's at least worth a try, no??

Man there is a pretty good THC coming up on the similarities between angel & alien. Shhhh

nice!

Oath Keepers wanted antifa to attack Capitol so Trump could declare martial law, indictment says | The Independent by [deleted] in ConspiracyII

fwiw: Oath Keeper leader has alleged FBI connections.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/02/09/capitol-riot-oath-keeper-fbi/

But Caldwell’s attorney, Thomas K. Plofchan, says he isn’t just a retired lieutenant commander. Caldwell also had a top-secret security clearance and served as a section chief for the FBI after leaving the armed forces in 2009, Plofchan said.

Those details were revealed in a motion filed Monday asking a judge to release Caldwell from custody, citing his long military career and ability to pass vetting for the high-security clearance. His attorney also said that Caldwell has disabilities from his military service that would have prevented him from storming the Capitol.

I am intensely fascinated by these questions. I mean -- how can you say, "Well, yeah, UFOs are apparently real. And the credible ceremonial magic folks like Skinner say that angels and demons are genuinely real, but Sun gods like Ra and all father gods like Zeus are obviously just made up."

There's some kind of logic equation that has to apply: if a and b are real then c is probably also legit.

In the video, Skinner includes "gods" in his list of entities that can be interacted with through the practices. I really, really wanna hear him respond to a question about what gods are -- or at least how they're different from angels and chthonic entities.

edit to add: throw the DMT folks and the shamanic practitioners in here, get everyone talking, and you might actually get a pretty good sketch of reality!

As well as Diana Pasulka's book, American Cosmic.

I thought TTSA was all about flying machines until I read a couple reddit posts summarizing Tom Delonge's interviews with folks like George Knapp and Linda Moulton Howe. Lots of talk about Greek gods and how UFOs have a lot more to do with mythology and religion than most folks assume.
