Primal Wisdom of the Ancients The Cosmological Plan for Humanity By (Author) Laird Scranton www.innertraditions.com/books/primal-wisdom-of-the-ancients"Examines how the similarities of symbols and wisdom across many cultures point to an ancient civilizing plan and system of ancient instruction • Reveals the shared cosmological knowledge of Dogon and Maori cultures, ancient Egypt, Gobekli Tepe, Vedic India, the pre-Indian Sakti civilization, Buddhism, the Tibetan Bon religion, and the kabbalistic tradition of the Hebrews • Explores symbols and techniques used to frame and preserve instructed knowledge as it was transmitted orally from generation to generation • Explains how this shared ancient knowledge relates to the precessional year and the cycles of time known as the yugas Exploring the mystery of why so many ancient cultures, separated by time and distance, share remarkably similar cosmological philosophies and religious symbolism, Laird Scranton reveals how this shared creation tradition upholds the idea that ancient instruction gave birth to the great civilizations, each of which preserves fragments of the original knowledge. Looking at the many manifestations of this shared cosmological knowledge, including in the Dogon and Maori cultures and in ancient Egypt, Gobekli Tepe, Vedic India, Buddhism, the Tibetan Bon religion, and the kabbalistic tradition of the Hebrews, Scranton explores the thought processes that went into formulating the archetype themes and metaphors of the ancient symbolic system. He examines how commonly shared principles of creational science are reflected in key terms of the ancient languages. He discusses how the primal cosmology also transmitted key components of sacred science, such as sacred geometry, knowledge of material creation, and the nature of a nonmaterial universe--evidence for which lies in the orientation of ancient temples, the drama of initiations and rituals, and countless traditional myths. He analyzes how this shared knowledge relates to the precessional year and the cycles of time known as the yugas. He also explores evidence of the concept of a nonmaterial twin universe to our own--the “above” to our “below” in the famous alchemical and hermetic maxim. Through his extensive research into the interconnected wisdom of the ancients, Scranton shows that the forgotten instructional tradition at the source of this knowledge was deliberately encoded to survive for countless generations. By piecing it back together, we can discover the ancient plan for guiding humanity forward toward greater enlightenment."

Alan Green on Dr. John Dee and the Shakespeare Code BY JASON LOUV ultraculture.org/blog/2018/05/29/alan-green/Ultraculture, Episode 22: Alan Green on John Dee and the Shakespeare Code Yes hello! In this week’s episode of the Ultraculture podcast, I talk to classically-trained musician and author Alan Green about his work Dee-coding Shakespeare, and the esoteric codes that he believes Dr. John Dee hid throughout Shakespeare’s work. Alan’s a personal friend of mine and we had a great and far-ranging conversation about the Western esoteric tradition, Rosicrucianism, Dee, esoteric yoga, enlightenment, his experiences in the music industry (Alan not only charted with a major label hit in 1981, but he also used to be the musical director for Davy Jones from the Monkees!), my socks, and lots, lots more. More about Alan, from his site: Alan is a British-born, classically trained pianist, composer, author, educator, and Shakespeare Authorship scholar. He’s been signed to five major record labels including Arista, ABC, and CBS, with whom he had a top thirty hit, I Surrender, under the pseudonym, Arlan Day, in 1981. He was musical director for Davy Jones of The Monkees for twelve years and co-author with Jones of two best-selling, award-winning books, They Made A Monkee Out Of Meand Mutant Monkees. Green’s first academic book, Dee-Coding Shakespeare, was initially published in 2010 but he withdrew it from the market-place because of new discoveries which he knew would have a huge impact on the eventual goal of opening the altar stone. He thought it would be better to wait and launch both books together, little suspecting those discoveries would take another six years to complete! Now, finally, the story can be told. Book I was made publicly available in September, 2016. The follow-up, BardCode, will be released in mid 2018. The third in the series, The Shakespeare Equation, is slated to be ready in late 2018. With The Holy Trinity Solution Series almost under wraps, Green will return to finishing his musical, BARD, based on those much misunderstood love poems, Shakespeare’s Sonnets. Make sure to subscribe to the Ultraculture podcast on iTunes, on Soundcloud, through the Podcasts app on iOS, or wherever works best—and don’t forget to follow me on Twitter and Instagram. Enjoy the show! Alan’s Site: ToBeOrNotToBe.org Alan’s videos demonstrating the Shakespeare Code are here…!

Aki Cederberg on the Kali Yuga, Pagan India and Resurrecting the European Traditions BY JASON LOUV ultraculture.org/blog/2018/06/08/aki-cederberg/Ultraculture, Episode 24: Aki Cederberg talks about his new book Journeys in the Kali Yuga, learning from Naga Babas in India, and his quest to revitalize the Northern Tradition Yes hello! In this week’s episode of the Ultraculture podcast, I finally got to sit down and talk with Aki Cederberg, the author of the new book Journeys in the Kali Yuga, out now from Inner Traditions. Aki is an excellent writer and has a lot to share about not just the sacred traditions of India, but about re-sacralizing the West—a project we share in common. We had a great time talking about (among lots of other things): • The decay of the soul of modern man; • Aki’s journeys in India, and his time spent learning magic from the Naga Baba sect; • His return to Finland, and his rediscovery of his own sacred traditions in Europe; • The importance of resurrection the pagan, pre-Christian traditions of Europe; And lots, lots more. You’re really going to enjoy this episode. More about Aki, via his site: Aki Cederberg is a writer, musician, filmmaker and traveler from Helsinki, Finland. Coming from a hereditary line of priests and doctors on one side, and seafarers on the other, many of Cederberg’s interests and passions can be derived from these ancestral streaks. Relating to his engagement with various esoteric traditions of which he has sought first-hand experience and knowledge, as well as his interest in sacred sites both ancient and modern, he has travelled extensively. Cederberg has written a book published in Finnish language titled Pyhiinvaellus: Matkalla Intiassa ja Nepalissa (Salakirjat, Helsinki, 2013). His first English language book Journeys in the Kali Yuga: A Pilgrimage from Esoteric India to Pagan Europe will be published by Inner Traditions in 2017. He has also written for The Fenris Wolf book anthologies (Edda Publishing, Stockholm) as well as several other publications. Currently he is writing his next book, which is about European holy places and traditions, to be released by the Finnish publisher Basam Books. The book will also feature photography by his wife, Justine Cederberg. Cederberg has been part of several musical groups (Halo Manash, MAA), has released albums and films, as well as conducted exhibitions and tours both in his homeland and abroad. The film Taiwaskivi, made as part of Halo Manash, was released on the DVD-collection Back to Human Nature! (Njuta Films). Cederberg is a part of the Radio Wyrd Podcast, and regularily gives lectures and talks on various esoteric topics. Recently, he also narrated and acted as main character in the documentary film Instrument of Himmler (Illume, Helsinki). He has a Bachelor of Culture and Arts (directing and scriptwriting) and works as a writer.

Plant Intelligence and the Imaginal Realm: Beyond the Doors of Perception into the Dreaming of Earth by Stephen Harrod Buhner www.goodreads.com/book/show/18223784-plant-intelligence-and-the-imaginal-realmA manual for opening the doors of perception and directly engaging the intelligence of the Natural World • Provides exercises to directly perceive and interact with the complex, living, self-organizing being that is Gaia • Reveals that every life form on Earth is highly intelligent and communicative • Examines the ecological function of invasive plants, bacterial resistance to antibiotics, psychotropic plants and fungi, and the human species In Plant Intelligence and the Imaginal Realm, Stephen Harrod Buhner reveals that all life forms on Earth possess intelligence, language, a sense of I and not I, and the capacity to dream. He shows that by consciously opening the doors of perception, we can reconnect with the living intelligences in Nature as kindred beings, become again wild scientists, nondomesticated explorers of a Gaian world just as Goethe, Barbara McClintock, James Lovelock, and others have done. For as Einstein commented, “We cannot solve the problems facing us by using the same kind of thinking that created them.” Buhner explains how to use analogical thinking and imaginal perception to directly experience the inherent meanings that flow through the world, that are expressed from each living form that surrounds us, and to directly initiate communication in return. He delves deeply into the ecological function of invasive plants, bacterial resistance to antibiotics, psychotropic plants and fungi, and, most importantly, the human species itself. He shows that human beings are not a plague on the planet, they have a specific ecological function as important to Gaia as that of plants and bacteria. Buhner shows that the capacity for depth connection and meaning-filled communication with the living world is inherent in every human being. It is as natural as breathing, as the beating of our own hearts, as our own desire for intimacy and love. We can change how we think and in so doing begin to address the difficulties of our times.

“When the human race learns to read the language of symbolism, a great veil will fall from the eyes of men. They shall then know truth and, more than that, they shall realize that from the beginning truth has been in the world unrecognized, save by a small but gradually increasing number appointed by the Lords of the Dawn as ministers to the needs of human creatures struggling to regain their consciousness of divinity.”
― Manly P. Hall, Melchizedek and the Mystery of _______________ Symbolism is the language of the Mysteries. By symbols men have ever sought to communicate to each other those thoughts which transcend the limitations of language.....In a single a symbol may both reveal and conceal, while to the ignorant the figure remains inscrutable.

“And Satan is worshipped by men under the name of Jesus; and Lucifer is worshipped by men under the name of Brahma; and Leviathan is worshipped by men under the name of Allah; and Belial is worshipped by men under the name of Buddha” (Aleister Crowley).
“We don’t worship Satan, we worship ourselves using the metaphorical representation of the qualities of Satan. Satan is the name used by Judeo-Christians for that force of individuality and pride within us. But the force itself has been called by many names. We embrace Christian myths of Satan and Lucifer, along with Satanic renderings in Greek, Roman, Islamic, Sumerian, Syrian, Phrygian, Egyptian, Chinese, or Hindu mythologies, to name but a few. We are not limited to one deity, but encompass all the expressions of the accuser or the one who advocates free thought and rational alternatives by whatever name he is called in a particular time and land“ (Anton LaVey).
“There are three categories of Satanists: 1) Traditional Satanists, 2) Religious Satanists, and 3) Freestyle Satanists“. “I would divide Satanic poseurs into three groups – Satanists, Christian Satanists, and nuts. I’d redefine Christian Satanists as those who are attracted to Satanism but can’t seem to break away from Christianity altogether. They continue to work within a primitive framework of Good vs. Evil, taking the part of Evil instead of Good“ (Anton LaVey).
According to ‘The Concise Corsini Encyclopedia of Psychology and Behavioral Science edited by W. Edward Craighead, Charles B. Nemeroff’, “Satanism has been defined in four levels (Simandl, 1997): (1) the experimental-dabbler, typically a teenager; (2) non-traditional, self-styled satanists, individuals or small groups obsessed with satanic themes; (3) organized traditional satanists, organized religious groups that are protected by religious freedom under American law, such as the Church of Satan; and (4) occultic networking or transgenerational cults, SRA groups perpetuated through family generations and the focus of this article (Ryder, 1992)“.
“My number is 11, as all their numbers who are of us. The Five Pointed Star, with a Circle in the Middle, & the circle is Red. My colour is black to the blind, but the blue & gold are seen of the seeing. Also I have asecret glory for them that love me” (Paedophile Aleister Crowley).
The Nine Satanic Statements originally appeared in The Satanic Bible, © 1969 The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth by Anton Szandor LaVey © 1967
Crowley wrote a chapter on ancient blood sacrifice in his book ‘Magick in Theory and Practice‘ the chapter headed ‘OF THE BLOODY SACRIFICE: AND MATTERS COGNATE‘, “There is a Magical operation of maximum importance: the Initiation of a New Aeon. When it becomes necessary to utter a Word, the whole Planet must be bathed in blood. Before man is ready to accept the Law of Thelema, the Great War must be fought. This Bloody Sacrifice is the critical point of the World-Ceremony of the Proclamation of Horus, the Crowned and conquering Child, as Lord of the Aeon” (Paedophile Aleister Crowley, 1911).
“I felt a culmination of that whole episode in my life many years later, shortly after The Satanic Bible came out. I met with Assaf Dayan, actor son of Israel’s legendary Defense Minister Moshe Dayan, and he was glowing about the book, agreed with every in it. He said it was exactly the philosophy they practiced, were forced to practice, in modern Israel” (Anton LaVey).

HELENA BLAVATSKY, ON THE TEMPLARS The Temple was the last European secret organization which, as a body, had in its possession some of the mysteries of the East. True, there were in the past century (and perhaps still are) isolated “Brothers” faithfully and secretly working under the direction of Eastern Brotherhoods. But these, when they did belong to European societies, invariably joined them for objects unknown to the Fraternity, though at the same time for the benefit of the latter. It is through them that modern Masons have all they know of importance; and the similarity now found between the Speculative Rites of antiquity, the mysteries of the Essenes, Gnostics, and the Hindus, and the highest and oldest of the Masonic degrees well prove the fact. If these mysterious brothers became possessed of the secrets of the societies, they could never reciprocate the confidence, though in their hands these secrets were safer, perhaps, than in the keeping of European Masons. When certain of the latter were found worthy of becoming affiliates of the Orient, they were secretly instructed and initiated, but the others were none the wiser for that. (...)

"Both the magic mirror and the crystal ball are symbols little understood. Woe to that benighted mortal who accepts literally the stories circulated concerning them! He will discover - often at the cost of sanity and health that sorcery and philosophy, while often confused, have nothing in common. The Persian Magi carried mirrors as an emblem of the material sphere which reflects Divinity from its every part. The crystal ball, long misused as a medium for the cultivation of psychical powers, is a three-fold symbol: (1) it signifies the crystalline Universal Egg in whose transparent depths creation exists; (2) it is a proper figure of Deity previous to Its immersion in matter; (3) it signifies the ætheric sphere of the world in whose translucent essences is impressed and preserved the perfect image of all terrestrial activity."
~ Manly P. Hall - The Secret Teachings of all Ages...

An invocation from Sri Aurobindo. We may not be able to come to a consensus about what is happening objectively, but I think we certainly share certain existential/spiritual/cosmic themes and a hope for more light to emerge. Humanity is going through a major collective spiritual test, and I hope we learn our lessons and pass.
“There is always a spiritual test before being able to attain the next stage of power. Each time you have to make progress, you have to undergo an examination. When Divine manifestations take place, they have also to pass through great difficulties and sufferings as a result of oppositions of dark and anti-divine forces which have had a hold upon earth since the creation. Those dark powers always oppose the new Lights because they do not want to give up their grip on the earth and sometimes their hostility even takes the form of war on earth, but in spite of all obstructions the Divine Will succeeds at last.”
From "Words of The Mother – Collected Works of Sri Aurobindo & The Mother"
