We've got Nat, the leader of the alt-right, as much as that might rustle the jimmies of some of his detractors.
00:03:11.580
Adjectives are for cowards. Thank you very much for having me on.
00:03:35.800
I've heard you come out as a fascist, Mr. Jones.
00:03:40.660
I have rebranded, since I divorced my Jewish wife, I have rebranded InfoWars as now Race Wars.
00:03:48.380
And now you can now buy Super Arian Vitality Pills and Dr. Mangala's Blue Eye Solution.
00:04:02.800
So it'll make us the Hyperborean we always want it to be.
00:04:06.280
Super Arian Rill-tality Pills, I thought the word.
00:04:31.240
You wanted to share your insight with us, Mr. Jones?
00:04:44.040
I'm so glad your eyes have finally been opened.
00:04:53.700
I always liked the aesthetic, but I found out I really was.
00:05:06.900
So, Mr. Jones, aside from the fact that they're turning the water gay,
00:05:11.620
is there any last message you'd like to leave with our listeners
00:05:14.700
before you depart back to your, uh, race war lair?
00:05:24.220
We broadcast for 14 hours and 88 minutes every single day.
00:05:32.080
Yeah, thank you for joining us, uh, Mr. Jones, a very special guest.
00:05:41.600
I have a very sophisticated network of connections.
00:05:53.000
Oh, yes, thank you for coming to join us, Mr. Spees.
00:06:14.400
He told us some important information about the race war.
00:06:19.320

01:08:11.640
Thank you for listening on into the second hour. We're glad to have you back.
01:08:15.780
We're going to continue our discussion with a topic I'm sure
01:08:19.180
everybody is eager to hear about, and at least tangentially
01:08:26.940
So we have a few people here that are fairly knowledgeable on this subject,
01:08:38.880
It is the belief that national socialism was always
01:08:57.620
Kali Yuga is coming to an end, and a new mythos
01:09:14.240
all these kind of things, you know, just mixing.
01:09:19.500
you know, event, you know, that was a world-changing
01:09:27.980
spiritual truths within them, and they, the solar rays
01:09:31.240
extend out, and as time has gone on, the solar rays
01:09:36.560
So you're telling me that esoteric hitlers believe that the
01:09:40.180
events of the National Socialist German Workers' Party
01:09:42.680
in the 1930s and 40s represent the revelation of cosmic
01:09:46.600
archetypes that set the core mythos for the coming
01:09:58.860
Within a certain era of history, nobody remembers
01:10:08.800
Adolf Hitler, his understaff, and the men that worked
01:10:11.600
around him, were men of, uh, as almost equal to him
01:10:17.760
in their characters, and the different aspects with
01:10:20.660
which they took on, uh, and the, you know, if you
01:10:25.120
look, you know, Adolf Hitler representing, uh, Wotong,
01:10:28.900
you know, you have Heinrich Himmler, who represents
01:10:31.120
the more, in Aries, a more warlike and or violent
01:10:47.720
So, under this schema, uh, and I know that this
01:11:03.500
personality, the cosmic archetype of leadership,
01:11:06.580
which she interprets as Vishnu, and Adolf Hitler,
01:11:29.220
one, the tenth one, Kalki, who will bring an end
01:11:33.920
Yeah, uh, I believe it's in Hindu mythology that the
01:11:39.020
ninth, like, the avatars of Vishnu, uh, are various
01:11:48.140
Um, and the ninth avatar is kind of like a half-man,
01:11:53.240
So, it, it's partially what it is, but it's not
01:11:56.760
So, it's, it's the closest vision of truth we can
01:12:03.780
destroys the Kalyugan and reinstates the age of
01:12:07.560
Now, as kind of an aside, isn't it not true that
01:12:11.080
one of the incarnations of the avatar of Vishnu
01:12:27.660
I've always thought it was interesting when gods
01:12:31.920
Well, we have, of course, the, uh, in the, in the,
01:12:34.300
in the many European myths, the axis is central to
01:12:41.660
I've read that, uh, that it later involved into, uh,
01:12:44.980
So that, um, for instance, the Finnish echo, the
01:12:48.200
Germanic donor of the Nordic, um, Thorpe, all come
01:12:52.220
from the same axe figures that could perhaps tie
01:12:56.720
into, um, what, uh, was said earlier, um, that, uh, you
01:13:01.000
know, the archetypes that were, um, that's made up, you, um, I
01:13:05.560
recall the myths of, um, of, um, the, uh, coming age, if you
01:13:09.860
So that the avatar of, uh, Vishnu that was an axe could
01:13:17.860
So the major authors that propose this idea, this
01:13:21.060
esoteric Hitlerism, are Debbie and Sereno, right?
01:13:29.960
He's, like, a proto-Hitlerist, because he's killed at the
01:13:32.640
Nuremberg trials, but he is totally, like, this is the,
01:13:37.100
uh, this is the, gonna be the, he's, he's, in a way, he
01:13:41.440
doesn't get into the whole, uh, you know, Savitri
01:13:46.580
The 9th is a, um, kind of opaque, um, kind of dulled
01:13:54.840
I mean, you think about how, how impressive the Third
01:13:58.240
Reich was comparing that, but that's only in one nation.
01:14:02.220
But the myth of the 20th century is deliberately trying
01:14:05.400
to set up a sort of mythic ideal for the, for the
01:14:12.560
This is the mythos that is going to be created.
01:14:16.320
That this is, I mean, a great life, and that is, uh,
01:14:20.000
the great, the First World War was an epoch that tore
01:14:23.120
open our veins and spilled our blood, and we saw within
01:14:28.480
Um, you know, and so, when you've got these powers that
01:14:35.020
just degradated the world down to, um, you know, through
01:14:39.520
the First World War, it got everyone, it got the national
01:14:44.120
socialists and the original inner circle specifically, they
01:14:47.560
realized what, what was of value, what still holds up when
01:14:53.460
your nation has been so in decline, and you're impoverished,
01:14:57.920
and you're without anything, what do you still have, and what
01:15:05.320
And so, Alfred Rosenberg, that, Alfred Rosenberg, you know,
01:15:09.440
suffered immensely with, he was a Russian, he was a German
01:15:12.660
living in Russia, and he ends up going through the Russian
01:15:15.940
Revolution, fleeing to Germany, and then joining the National
01:15:20.340
Uh, he's the interim leader of the NSDAP while Hitler is
01:15:24.660
imprisoned, uh, and his book is so controversial in Germany
01:15:28.700
that only Himmler and a few others are willing to say that
01:15:33.440
The other ones are like, uh, no, no, I didn't get around to
01:15:36.260
that one, because it's just, it's a controversial work for
01:15:40.280
the time, that this is, you know, with one thing with the
01:15:45.920
Indian, going back to the Indian thing, how they have the
01:15:48.220
acts, whereas the other European countries, uh, have the
01:15:51.340
various visions of, like, you know, the Muldir, and, you
01:15:54.840
know, the different ones, that are incarnations of that same
01:15:58.800
being, uh, that same spirit, is, uh, Rosenberg gets into the,
01:16:05.000
the, when the Aryan split happens, and the Aryans, uh, some group
01:16:09.700
of Aryans go to, uh, Iran, uh, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and then
01:16:15.000
India, and then other ones go to Europe, is that the ones that
01:16:18.920
go to, uh, the East are far more concerned with, like, uh, spiritual,
01:16:25.300
just kind of enlightenment and spiritual contemplation.
01:16:30.020
And so, their mythos is better preserved, but, ultimately, they
01:16:37.200
decline racially, uh, because they're, they're, they're...
01:17:02.240
Sorry, it sounded like somebody, uh, just, uh, came in your room and
01:17:08.240
Um, so the, uh, Serrano, he gets into that, or not Serrano, um, Rosenberg.
01:17:17.040
So Rosenberg gets into that the East, they end up declining racially
01:17:20.760
from the, you know, Aryan, Brahma, and upper class that they have,
01:17:24.720
but they, they subjugate the, you know, uh, negroid races that live in their
01:17:28.980
countries, but they ultimately decline and they fall into racial degeneration,
01:17:33.780
which, uh, Rosenberg's whole thing that all, uh, all reasons that empires fall
01:17:39.380
and people's decline is to racial degeneration.
01:17:42.060
Like, the reason Rome, uh, cannot produce, you know, Rome as it was is because, you know,
01:17:48.880
Semites and, you know, other peoples lived there now, you know, the Romans are gone
01:18:08.480
There's a difference between Mussolini and, like, Sicilians, I'm going to tell you that.
01:18:19.580
Well, many Northern Italians are, uh, Lombard Germanics, so...
01:18:22.660
Yeah, they're, it's a, but the original race that made up Rome was gone.
01:18:26.460
Well, the, the, the racial degeneration doesn't necessarily mean miscigenation or, or outbreeding.
01:18:33.860
It could also be a sort of spiritual degeneration.
01:18:37.060
Well, fornication is a really good example of this.
01:18:40.780
Because you'll have the, if you have, um, lack of sexual ethics inside of your society,
01:18:45.540
naturally the, kind of, lowest tier people in your society will incage in a lot of fornication
01:18:52.120
And the, any genetic potential of your offspring will be, um, severely damaged by the environmental,
01:19:00.560
That actually really makes sense because, like, if you look at my people, for an example,
01:19:06.500
We are probably some of the most beautiful people in the world.
01:19:08.480
And it's funny how more down south you go, the uglier, like, you will become.
01:19:15.260
So you're telling me that the ones who are south are more degenerated.
01:19:20.340
That must mean the ones that are north are higher caste.
01:19:22.820
So are you saying that Swedes and Norwegians, because they're further north, are higher tier
01:19:32.680
Uh, because, like, that's not a follow- that's not really an argument.
01:19:40.820
Like, a lot of South and Europeans look like- that they're, like, used to be, like,
01:19:48.240
And that's why they look so fucking disgusting.
01:19:54.740
It looks like they- they started to breed with animals in the area.
01:19:59.420
Well, I mean, Rome's history, its entire history, is the conflict-
01:20:06.560
In that the original rulers of Rome were Etruscans, who were a Semitic people.
01:20:15.260
Uh, the Romans, though, set up a republic, uh, because they feel that the issue-
01:20:20.980
they- they probably recognize the issue as the Etruscans, but the Etruscans ruled for
01:20:24.700
kingship, and so they don't want any of the kind of systems that the Etruscans had, so
01:20:29.680
they set up a republic, which the republic works for a while, but it doesn't work.
01:20:34.660
They- they conquer foreign lands and allow those people to come in and replace them.
01:20:40.960
And even if they are Aryans, they are not the Romans.
01:20:43.880
And so there is then conflict with them, and the Etruscans then feed off of that conflict
01:20:49.400
and create, uh, strife in between the Romans and their slaves.
01:20:56.040
And eventually the Romans allow intermarriages between the patrician and the plebeian classes,
01:21:01.220
and it's all over from there to the point that the last so-called Roman emperor of Rome
01:21:08.120
So, kind of moving back to the topic of esoteric Hitlerism, it seems like Rosenberg's- Rosenberg's
01:21:16.540
understanding of the era was, you know, mythic, but it wasn't necessarily theological.
01:21:22.440
Whereas Devi and Sereno make the jump to say that these are in- you know, these personalities
01:21:27.460
are in fact manifestations of the divine, and that they're basically small g-gods, and
01:21:34.700
they, you know, worshipped them, formally speaking.
01:21:37.400
Well, of course, so, uh, Rosenberg probably isn't gonna make that connection, though there
01:21:42.840
is evidence to believe that he did actually believe that Hitler was, like, possessed by
01:21:48.160
Uh, and, you know, it's- and for various other things, but it's not gonna be like, all of us
01:21:55.300
that, uh, are in power now, we are actually gods.
01:21:58.060
That would be very, uh, pompous of him, to say the least, and he's not gonna do that.
01:22:04.320
But my question is, so, esoteric Hitlerism seems mostly just a set of theological opinions.
01:22:10.780
Like, are there- it's not really, um, are, uh, there's not even really cultic activity
01:22:18.380
Uh, what do you mean in the sense of cultic activity?
01:22:23.900
Well, I mean, are there groups of people that make sacrifices to, uh, pictures of Hitler?
01:22:31.640
Yes, but Alba is just a dumb Annapolis Valley Nova Scotian who doesn't know anything about
01:22:38.500
But I'm talking about, like, actual organized and organic cults, because there are- sociologically
01:22:44.920
It's a creed, cult, and constitution, basically.
01:22:48.380
And so you have to have a sort of set of overarching ethics and way of proceeding that's associated
01:22:54.740
You have to have a cult, like, so, a cultic activity where you engage in liturgy and sacrifice
01:23:01.060
And you have to have, like, a constitution or a normative set of, um, delineating lines
01:23:08.000
as to what your, uh, what your religion actually is and where it begins.
01:23:12.900
And sacrifice there is, is, is really an important delineating factor.
01:23:19.560
That's why a charitable view of Protestantism is that they're, they're not actually, um,
01:23:25.500
they're not actually committing blasphemy because they don't actually make a sacrifice.
01:23:31.860
The, they don't actually engage in any sacrilegious action.
01:23:35.000
And that's, uh, I mean, a Protestant prayer, a Protestant Sunday church meeting is just people
01:23:40.460
Whereas if you go to a Catholic or an Orthodox church, they are making a sacrifice.
01:23:44.880
Uh, and Jesus Christ himself shows up during the Mass.
01:23:47.840
So, but I think that that's an essential thing to understand is universally in all kind of
01:23:53.040
primordial religion, there is this concept of the sacrifice.
01:23:57.320
A priest offers sacrifice on behalf of the people.
01:24:00.520
Islam and Judaism do not have sacrifice anymore.
01:24:03.800
Although Old Covenant, uh, Hebrews, of course, had a Levitical priesthood that offered physical
01:24:10.600
And we see this even in Hinduism where that was the job.
01:24:13.300
If you, in a rural context where Hinduism was most, um, often practiced, that, the natural
01:24:18.440
setting, the village priest is the, the, basically the leader of the community and the most important
01:24:22.780
man, because he offers sacrifices to the gods on behalf of the community.
01:24:26.860
He, um, he presents the offerings to Agni, to the great, you know, fire, the primordial
01:24:35.440
Well, there's one thing that, um, did kind of come out of it and it's called Bortanism.
01:24:40.560
And, um, well, um, main writers behind it is David Lane.
01:24:44.540
And, um, he takes a lot of inspiration from Serrano.
01:24:47.920
And, um, if I'm not mistaken, Serrano even contributed to it, because I'm not entirely
01:24:53.620
But there have been groups that have, um, integrated, um, some parts of Serrano into their, uh,
01:24:59.420
Uh, for instance, Bortanism, which is kind of, um, uh, kind of like neo-paganism, um, the
01:25:05.120
Germanic version mixed with the, uh, esoteric Hitlerism, um, aspects from it.
01:25:11.460
It has, of course, um, the cultic activity of, um, just, uh, paganism.
01:25:23.220
But are they, are they actually making sacrifices, I think is the key question.
01:25:27.420
Yeah, well, um, as far as, uh, I've seen, I've seen that, uh, some of them do, um, in
01:25:32.740
the way as, uh, you know, more the also through, or the, you know, the, uh, Germanic pagans
01:25:37.960
do, but they've integrated parts of, um, Serrano's writing into their belief system.
01:25:45.420
The issue here in your understanding of, uh, religion is you're trying to fit it into
01:25:55.620
I mean, if we look at, um, if we look at, let's say, even, uh, Shintoism.
01:26:00.940
Well, Shintoism, um, it, it, uh, expresses all three of these traits.
01:26:05.920
There's cultic activity associated with the worship of the ancestors and with the spirits.
01:26:09.900
There are temples and shrines where people train.
01:26:12.560
There's a creed in the sense that there's a formal ethic as to how one who's engaging
01:26:21.180
And then we've got, like, a constitution in the sense that it's easy, you know, we know
01:26:26.100
what Shintoism is formally, uh, that separates it from regular Mahayana Buddhism, right?
01:26:38.900
I mean, even in the Buddhist example, it's, it's, there's still, you still have those aspects.
01:26:43.920
Like, even though the Buddha himself never really established a formal religion since then-
01:26:51.800
Right, but since then there, there is these, you know, aspects to it of the cultic activity
01:26:59.840
So, I, I guess it's kind of one of those universal kind of forms.
01:27:04.160
Probably the difference being is that, uh, the, the ones you're referencing are thousands
01:27:10.720
of people, and the one we're referencing came about within the past, uh, 90 years or so.
01:27:18.820
Well, sure, but there are, I mean, there are relatively modern religions that engage in
01:27:23.420
Like, we can look at, um, uh, Jehovah's Witnesses as-
01:27:26.580
None of them are being hunted down by and thrown in prison by the government, as in the
01:27:33.900
My point is merely that I think the confusion in a lot of people's minds when they encounter
01:27:37.840
esoteric Hitlerism is it's like, even if you accept that this is, like, a legitimate,
01:27:42.500
like, uh, logical system that people subscribe to, is that there's no actual, like, expression
01:27:49.360
or no implementation of these ideas in the real world.
01:27:53.620
And that's the thing, is that it really just seems to me to be an abstract theological position
01:27:58.340
that you kind of hold to substantiate your ideology and your worldview with no actual cultic
01:28:04.800
It's a thing that people do on the internet, basically.
01:28:07.480
And I think that it's like, well, you know, the question is not the legitimacy of the
01:28:12.520
There are loads of religions that are, like, or the truthfulness of the doctrine.
01:28:16.000
There are loads of religions that are legitimate.
01:28:25.080
You didn't even really need a creator of a constitution.
01:28:27.520
I mean, in ancient Rome, for instance, um, the ethics were a very small part of being-
01:28:34.140
Like, the only real thing that was necessary was the virtue of Piatas.
01:28:38.460
And so, but they had a- you know, you could say, well, they had a religion.
01:28:47.480
And so, even with modern Diasatru, well, I have a little- the ones that engage in cultic
01:28:52.320
activity, I mean, I have a little bit of respect for them because their religion is
01:28:56.180
But at least, you know, they make sacrifices and they gather with their fellows and they,
01:29:01.320
you know, tell songs and they have a- a worldview that they try to adhere to and an ethic that
01:29:07.040
But the thing is, is with Hitlerism, well, you can maybe argue that there's a certain
01:29:10.120
ethic that stands behind this sort of, um, cosmology, but there's no cultic activity,
01:29:17.180
Well, perhaps you could argue that it's kind of an adult.
01:29:22.860
It's, uh, like I was saying earlier that some Orsatruists could have it as an adult, um,
01:29:27.880
that they would engage in the cultic activity of Orsatru.
01:29:31.060
Well, if that was the case, it would be a different circumstance, but I would be interested in seeing,
01:29:35.140
like, well, where are the communities of esoteric Hitlerists that gather, uh, to read
01:29:42.080
Tell me where the communities of fascist Christians are.
01:29:44.460
Well, I mean, there's some, uh, we can look historically in the 20th century.
01:29:49.000
There were many in Spain, many in Croatia, many in South America, many in Italy.
01:30:00.320
There are Catholic, uh, there are places there where the, the Ustazi and Catholic fascism,
01:30:04.960
clerical fascism is still a very strong, um, and prevalent idea.
01:30:10.580
Right, I take your point, but the thing is, is that, that, that, um, clerical fascism,
01:30:14.460
fascism or fascist Catholicism is a particular ideological manifestation of the Catholic religion
01:30:19.620
and the Catholic spirit, whereas, um, esoteric Hitlerism, the ideology is folded into the
01:30:25.140
theological world, whereas in Catholicism, it's perfectly possible for you to have different,
01:30:29.640
even radically different ideological manifestations that subscribe to that same set of principles.
01:30:33.900
So you don't need to be a fascist in order to be a Catholic.
01:30:38.840
And so it's not a, you know, you can't, you can't disqualify the existence of real Catholicism
01:30:43.800
existing because, you know, there are monarchists or whatever.
01:30:46.780
So, anyway, I think, but I thank you for sharing the knowledge that you have about esoteric Hitlerism,
01:30:54.440
and I think that, I mean, it's an important topic, and then it seems to come up, uh, quite a bit,
01:30:58.740
and it's a pretty funny meme as far as it goes.
01:31:01.640
What's your point there with, uh, having Catholicism and fascism, the various, how the, one,
01:31:08.020
you can be a Catholic but not a fascist and you can be a fascist and a Catholic.
01:31:11.780
Well, it's like, you can't be an esoteric Hitlerist without being a National Socialist.
01:31:17.400
My point was merely that, um, my point was more broadly about how there's no organized
01:31:22.920
cultic activity that esoteric Hitlerists engage in.
01:31:33.100
Well, I would, I don't think, um, we have enough...
01:31:35.560
David Wayne believes that, you know, Adolf Hitler was a godlike figure.
01:31:39.080
Okay, so, I mean, I'll give it only if they, you know,
01:31:41.600
I'm not familiar with them directly, but if they're engaging, uh, anyway,
01:31:45.660
I think that if they're doing, if they're engaging in the, what I've described,
01:31:50.620
Anyway, I think that we, uh, ought not chase this dog around the bush any longer,
01:31:54.120
but I really appreciate you, um, sharing your very valuable information
01:31:58.740
about the connection between Nietzsche and Elliot Rodgers
01:32:01.300
and showing us the, uh, fascinating theology of esoteric Hitlerism.
01:32:06.860
Now, moving on to the, uh, our next presenter in the next segment of the show,
01:32:14.060
Doc Savage, you've got, uh, some very interesting subjects to talk to us about.
01:32:23.620
Uh, the subject that I'm going to cover is, um, Kabbalah and Rosicrucianism.
01:32:30.340
Uh, perhaps we could subtitle that the esoteric roots of the enlightenment.
01:32:41.100
I'm, which I'm sure you'll probably discuss, but.
01:32:44.280
Um, I had plans to take more notes on that, but I didn't quite get that far,
01:32:49.320
but you can definitely, um, see some of the roots.
01:32:59.760
Okay, just to, uh, cover some basis here, uh, I'm going to go ahead and define some terms.
01:33:08.080
Uh, so occult, uh, comes from the Latin word occultus, meaning clandestine, hidden, or secret.
01:33:19.400
Uh, and then esoteric, uh, which is, uh, something that is intended or likely to be understood
01:33:28.320
only by a small number of people with specialized knowledge or interest.
01:33:32.360
And this can be contrasted with, of course, exoteric, referring to knowledge that is exterior
01:33:39.700
and independent from a person's, uh, experience and can be ascertained by anyone independently.
01:33:46.000
Uh, hermetic, which is of or relating to ancient occult traditions, uh, encompassing alchemy,
01:34:05.280
The renaissance is a period in European history from the 14th to 17th century regarded as a
01:34:12.920
Uh, uh, we might instead call it a chasm, but there you are, uh, between the middle ages
01:34:20.860
It started as a cultural movement in Italy in the late medieval period and later spread
01:34:24.840
to the rest of Europe, marking the beginnings of the early modern era.
01:34:28.380
Uh, and then enlightenment, an intellectual movement between the 17th and 18th centuries
01:34:35.360
emphasizing reason and individualism rather than tradition.
01:34:47.540
And, um, basically, um, to, to display the method at the beginning, uh, the answer is basically
01:35:06.220
This just sounds like crazy conspirator and stuff.
01:35:09.240
You know, you're really, you're not, you're not proving anything to anyone.
01:35:14.680
With that sort of talk, I have to ask you, how are we going to get elected into parliament?
01:35:19.960
I mean, you're not going to get forward in politics with that sort of mumbo jumbo talk.
01:35:26.120
Well, uh, as a, as a wise man once said, you don't vote for kings.
01:35:35.280
So the, um, the, the root, uh, the, the current from which all of these things emerge and what
01:35:45.740
links them all together is, uh, the Jewish Kabbalic tradition or Kabbalic or, uh, the
01:35:56.120
And let's go into the Kabbalah for those who are not familiar with, uh, what Kabbal, Kabbalism
01:36:02.660
So Kabbalah is the ancient Jewish tradition, so-called, of, uh, a mystical or esoteric or
01:36:08.580
occult interpretation of the Torah and the Talmud.
01:36:14.820
And so I think the Kabbalah, basically the, in Old Testament Israel, magic was strictly
01:36:23.560
forbidden, um, sorcerers, diviners, spiritual mediums, they were all put to death.
01:36:29.000
And this is very unique because Israel had a formal sage and, um, educated class of wise
01:36:38.240
Um, and in every other culture around it, especially Babylon and Egypt, these same classes, these
01:36:44.140
educated wise men were also wizards universally.
01:36:46.960
If you were a priest, if you were, um, a scholar, you were in intro, um, excuse me, you were
01:36:57.900
And so it wasn't until the destruction of the second temple and the scattering of the Jews,
01:37:03.380
um, into Babylon and, uh, the Sassanid empire, but also into the general diaspora that we started
01:37:10.560
to see with the emergence of the, um, Midrash, not the Midrash, the Mishnah, which is the, um,
01:37:16.800
codification of the oral law and the Talmud, which is the commentary on the oral law, I believe.
01:37:21.460
Uh, I might be mixing up my particular Hebrew terms here.
01:37:24.740
It's on until this period of the development of rabbinic Judaism, basically the Talmudic
01:37:28.720
kikes we know today, that the Kabbalah, um, emerges.
01:37:32.760
And so the Kabbalah is contained in the essence of it is, the teaching is contained in a book
01:37:38.860
So basically the Zohar is the mystical or the esoteric key that lets you unlock the Talmud.
01:37:45.380
And the Talmud is what lets you unlock the Torah or the Tanakh, which is, um,
01:37:58.360
Uh, that covers a lot of ground that, uh, I don't have to.
01:38:01.360
So, um, uh, basically the idea is that Kabbalah is the secret oral teaching that they claim
01:38:11.140
goes all the way back to, in some cases, uh, some schools will claim Adam received the secret
01:38:15.940
oral teaching and other schools will claim that, that it originates with, uh, Moses and his
01:38:29.940
Uh, but it, it basically it's, it's, um, it's a hidden oral tradition, uh, as opposed to the
01:38:42.020
So you could see, you could say that the regular Talmudic rabbinism is the exoteric Judaism.
01:38:48.660
And then the, the Kabbalah is the esoteric rabbinical Judaism.
01:38:52.900
And then, so the legendary author of the Zohar is, uh, Shimon bar, uh, Yochai, uh, who, according
01:39:07.720
to legend, uh, had to hide from the, uh, Roman emperor in a cave and received a vision.
01:39:14.200
And, um, I believe, uh, you're going to go into this, but, um, the vision is supposed
01:39:23.520
to be of an angel, but as we know, uh, demons are angels too.
01:39:32.120
All of these, all of these men receiving images of, uh, angels of light in caves and they
01:39:44.200
Uh, there's some interesting anecdotes about, um, this, uh, this rabbi, uh, according to
01:39:50.120
some sources, um, he acquired reputation as a worker of miracles.
01:39:54.220
And on these grounds, he was sent to Rome where, according to legend, he exorcised the
01:39:59.900
emperor's daughter, um, from a demon who had obligingly entered the lady in order to enable
01:40:15.360
And we will get into this later on, but do go on.
01:40:19.840
And then, um, this, this same rabbi is one of the legendary authors of the Babylonian Talmud,
01:40:26.420
where he is quoted as saying, the best of Gentiles kill it.
01:40:38.780
So, this is already, this is their, this is the character.
01:40:45.100
Uh, the Zohar itself was most probably faked by one Moses de Leon in Spain.
01:40:50.080
Uh, the story tells that after the death of Moses de Leon, a rich man of Avila named Joseph
01:40:57.060
offered Moses' widow, uh, who had been left without any means of supporting herself, a
01:41:01.600
large sum of money for the original texts from which her husband had made a copy.
01:41:05.380
She confessed that her husband himself was the author of the work.
01:41:09.320
She had asked him several times, she said, why he had chosen to credit his own teachings
01:41:13.320
to another, and he had always answered that doctrines put into the mouth of the miracle
01:41:17.840
working Shimon Bar-Yokai would be a rich source of profit.
01:41:22.420
Well, yeah, and this is a, another, it's also a common trope, um, literarily, um, in the
01:41:28.140
ancient world where one of the highest pieces of flattery that you could do would be to attribute
01:41:35.320
We see this even in the wisdom literature in the Old Testament, where, like, um, Ecclesiastes,
01:41:41.360
we know, is almost certainly not written by Solomon himself, nor the wisdom of Solomon
01:41:45.220
either, but they're attributed to his figure because of his, um, sapiential prestige, his
01:41:52.240
association with wisdom, and so it's a form of flattery.
01:42:03.520
I'm going to go ahead and skip a bit of, uh, uh, the ways, uh, the, the sort of theological
01:42:10.540
extrusions of the Kabbalah itself, but suffice it to say, it resembles the sort of Gnostic
01:42:17.140
Neoplatonism, uh, familiar to those, uh, who have looked at, um, uh, the Manichaeans or
01:42:28.680
Are we, uh, are you, are we going to talk about sympathetic magic, or should we speak
01:42:40.260
Kind of, kind of, kind of, kind of trying to get on to, uh, the meat of it, which is where
01:42:43.600
it, it impacts with Christianity and, and, and what happens there.
01:42:48.000
Uh, but, uh, there's an interesting quote here, uh, talking about the sort of the core
01:42:52.880
meaning of Kabbalah, uh, in Eros and Kabbalah, Moshe Edel, a professor of Jewish mysticism
01:42:59.620
at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, argues that the fundamental distinction between the
01:43:03.240
rational, philosophic strain of Judaism and the mystical Judaism, as exemplified by the
01:43:08.720
Zohar, is a mystical belief that the Godhead is complex rather than simple, and that divinity
01:43:14.500
is dynamic and incorporates gender, having both male and female dimensions, that these
01:43:20.420
polarities must be conjoined or have union to maintain the harmony of the cosmos.
01:43:26.240
That this characterizes a metaphysical point of view known as diatheism, holding that there
01:43:31.360
are two aspects of God and the process of unionism, uh, the process of union as theoeroticism.
01:43:43.820
So, right off the bat, we see that God is not a trinity, but a duality, and that God is
01:43:51.980
sexual, which is just, I mean, how, how much more Jewish could we get right there?
01:43:57.780
Yeah, and it's interesting, and I think the thing to emphasize is that all of these traditions
01:44:01.340
emerge, um, emerge exclusively with rabbinic Judaism, these sort of ways of thinking would
01:44:13.160
Men who blasphemed God in this way were stoned.
01:44:21.260
Does that, uh, does that kind of relate to the way, like, Jews wanted, like, a, like, earthly
01:44:31.480
Because that's why they put it so, it's like, okay, we can't, we have to use magic and that
01:44:37.320
Oh, yeah, this, this heavily ties into the sort of, this world messianism that the Jews
01:44:44.320
Um, Kabbalah is deeply involved in several Jewish uprisings in Poland and Ukraine.
01:44:49.560
Um, there is a particular, um, Kabbalistic savior figure.
01:45:09.460
Oh, uh, yeah, well, so there's the theological concept of the Kadmon, the Adam Kadmon, uh,
01:45:19.020
And then there's also the concept of the, uh, uh, the Tikhon Ulam, which is the new man
01:45:29.020
And traditional Christian theology interprets their figure of the new man as basically the
01:45:36.380
So, um, but there was a specific historical figure, the Sabbatean Messiah, uh, Shabbatai
01:45:43.360
Tzivi, uh, who would, um, rise up in the, um, in the, the area of the, uh, Crimean Tartarites
01:45:54.760
and would eventually be forced to convert to Islam by the Ottoman Sultan.
01:45:59.280
Uh, and he, he and his followers are, are the source of the crypto Jewish Donma in Turkey.
01:46:07.820
Those were, and that's the guys who were behind the young Turks, huh?
01:46:16.400
Uh, it, you know, there was, uh, I was listening to a theology lecture the other day and the
01:46:22.040
man was saying, well, you know, the devil's not behind every rock just under every other
01:46:26.280
rock, but I feel like every rock that the devil's not underneath, it's the Jews.
01:46:39.340
And then, uh, there was another figure, a sort of follow-up to Sabbatean Zevi, uh, Jacob
01:46:45.460
Frank, who claimed to be his reincarnation, who taught that, um, you could purify yourself
01:47:00.900
You can purify yourself through the transgression of the law.
01:47:06.740
Well, you see, God loves to forgive, and so if you give him more to forgive you for, then
01:47:12.840
you're doing the work of purifying the broken shards of the universe.
01:47:20.880
It's like, literally, the broken window fallacy applied to the spiritual life.
01:47:31.660
His followers would actually end up, uh, hooking up with, um, the French Revolution.
01:47:42.060
Okay, so, um, all of this sort of milieu comes to a, starts to come to a head, uh, with,
01:47:53.520
um, uh, uh, in, in Prague, in, in the area known as Bohemia.
01:47:58.920
Where you have the, um, the figure of, uh, the Maharal of Prague, uh, Judah Loa ben Bezalel,
01:48:14.940
or Rabbi Loeb, in 1513 through 1609, uh, who's most famous, of course, for the Golem of Prague.
01:48:25.300
So he's a rabbi and a, and a wizard, a mystic, and, uh, um, there's several interesting things here.
01:48:34.280
Of course, the Golem is the, um, the robot made of clay, powered by a piece of paper with the holy name written on it,
01:48:43.740
which is part of this whole sort of practical side of Kabbalah, of these amulets and charms,
01:48:49.260
and, and, and that sort of active practical magic.
01:48:52.520
Um, what's also interesting is that on the 23rd of February, 1592,
01:48:59.920
he had an audience with Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II, and we're going to come back to him, right?
01:49:07.440
Uh, but it's known that Rudolf II was a bit of a mystic himself,
01:49:12.420
and was deeply interested in, um, having Jewish Kabbalah explained to him in his court.
01:49:22.520
The other thing here to note is that the reason why he was creating this Golem was to defend the, um,
01:49:31.920
the ghetto of Prague from mobs, uh, who were riled up because of the quote-unquote blood libel.
01:49:41.580
Ah, which is the claim, the claim that Jews kidnap and murder Christians, especially children,
01:49:49.260
to use their blood as part of religious rituals, um, particularly around High Holy Days.
01:49:55.780
Why would, why would it, it was just anti-Semitism, it was just in the air, there was no reason for this, there was no reason.
01:50:06.840
Yeah, except for that everywhere the Jews went, the libel followed them.
01:50:10.960
And information didn't travel that freely at this point in time, especially amongst the common people.
01:50:18.380
So you're telling me that this pernicious, vile rumor that Jews steal the children of Christians
01:50:24.180
and sacrifice them in their dark rituals mysteriously appears wherever the Jews are?
01:50:33.660
Very coincidental. Highly coincidental there, Carl.
01:50:36.960
Well, you need to remember that correlation is, of course, not causation there.
01:50:48.480
A particular professor, Ariel Toaf, who was actually the son of the high rabbi of Italy.
01:50:58.960
And he was a history professor, and he wrote a book called, entitled, Bloody Passover, Jews of Europe and Ritual Homicide.
01:51:09.660
And this book presented an argument that there are certainly cases where the libel is not, in fact, a libel, but, in fact, true.
01:51:24.720
Uh, this caused such a shitstorm amongst the Jewish media that, um, uh, various Israeli interest groups, uh, the Anti-Defamation League, et cetera, et cetera, um, put enough pressure and threatened enough lawsuits that, um, the book was taken off the market and he recanted and donated all of the proceeds, uh, to the ADL.
01:51:48.720
Wow, that's just so, that's charitable, so generous of him. He's really a civically-minded mensch.
01:51:58.220
So, but how does this Jewish Kabbalah interface with Rosicrucianism and alchemy using the Christianity?
01:52:04.540
I'm glad you asked. That's really where we're going to go next.
01:52:07.640
So, from the Renaissance and onwards, Jewish Kabbalistic texts entered non-Jewish culture, where they were studied and translated by Christian Hebraicists and Hermetic occultists, right?
01:52:21.640
The first reason was, um, these sort of, these highly mystically-minded guys, who were very often also mathematicians and astrologers and astronomers,
01:52:32.300
they were just looking for any source of knowledge whatsoever, and they were not picky as to where they got it.
01:52:38.120
Uh, the other motivation was, um, particularly, uh, Christian philosophers and apologists who were looking for a way to use, uh, Jewish theological terms in attempts to, um, convert Jews.
01:52:57.520
Uh, what's interesting is that many of these people were themselves Jewish converts.
01:53:03.960
Okay, uh, so in a, in a explicitly Christian Kabbalah, uh, Kabbalistic doctrines are reinterpreted in a distinctly Christian perspective,
01:53:13.380
linking the person of Jesus Christ and, uh, his atonement and resurrection to the ten Sephiroth,
01:53:20.520
linking the three upper Sephiroth to the, the hypostasis, the persons of the Trinity,
01:53:26.520
and the last seventh, the lower or earthly world.
01:53:31.500
And the Sephiroth are these sort of, um, Kabbalistic emanations of God.
01:53:44.620
Um, there's a series of, uh, of, uh, interesting, uh, converts who bring these doctrines into Christianity.
01:53:55.860
Uh, one of the most important is the Franciscan, uh, Raymond Loll,
01:54:04.360
who is the first Christian to acknowledge and appreciate Kabbalah as a tool for conversion.
01:54:08.680
Although not himself a Kabbalist, nor was he particularly well-versed in any Kabbalistic approach,
01:54:13.240
he would use the, the vocabulary in his, uh, apologies, uh, apologetic writings and his theological debates with Jews.
01:54:23.740
Right. So kind of, um, a Justin martyr except for Kabbalism.
01:54:30.700
Now, just to be clear, the Sephiroth are, um, the spheres on the tree of life.
01:54:34.440
Yes. Uh, although, um, that is the later depiction of them.
01:54:41.080
The earliest depiction, uh, corresponded more to the sort of the spheres, uh, like in a Pulteum,
01:54:52.820
Well, yeah, a Ptolemaic or a Ptolemaic view of the universe.
01:54:57.140
The next big link in the chain is Francesco Giorgi, a Venetian Franciscan friar.
01:55:06.360
Uh, and these Franciscans always keep coming up, uh, which is interesting considering, um, the Francis of today.
01:55:16.920
But there were also figures like Athanasius, Athanasius Kersher, who was a Jesuit.
01:55:21.680
Oh, yeah. I, uh, I actually kind of skipped over, uh, Kersher, but he's, he's definitely involved in this current.
01:55:28.240
Yeah. Because I remember in my esoteric days, I was kind of, you know, I kind of admired him for the reason, opposite reasons.
01:55:38.460
Okay. So, Francesco Giorgi, uh, 1467 to 1540, was a Venetian Franciscan friar who has been considered a central figure in 16th century Christian Kabbalah
01:55:48.900
by both his contemporaries and by modern scholars.
01:55:52.200
Uh, his major work, De Harmonia Mundi, or the, the Harmony of the World, was a massive and curious book,
01:55:59.560
all Hermetic, Platonic, Kabbalistic, and Pinchian.
01:56:03.200
Uh, Pinchian referring to a previous Christian Kabbalistic figure.
01:56:07.460
Uh, what's interesting here, as a link in our chain of this story, linking Kabbalah with Rosicrucianism,
01:56:15.440
is that a copy of De Harmonia Mundi is listed as once being in the library of one Sir Thomas Brown.
01:56:23.560
And it is recorded that Brown's copy was bequeathed to him from Arthur D., son of none other than court magician John D.,
01:56:40.600
Oh, this, oh, I'm, yeah, D. has a lot of connections.
01:56:45.420
John, uh, for those of you who aren't familiar with John D., he was the court magician of Queen Elizabeth,
01:56:50.180
and he, uh, essentially believed he invented, well, he received the knowledge of the Enochian language,
01:56:56.200
which he posited was the language of the pre-Delusion, um, you know, kind of, uh, post-Edenic civilization
01:57:02.960
of the knowledge of, uh, the language of the angels.
01:57:13.160
Uh, so another particular name, Robert Flood, uh, who is a figure,
01:57:20.180
or the English Enlightenment, uh, it's believed that his vast volumes on the universal harmony
01:57:26.920
published at Oppenheim in 1617 through 1619 were heavily influenced by Georgie and represent,
01:57:34.320
in essence, a Georgian philosophy in later form.
01:57:37.960
Flood, as we know, was associated with the Rosicrucian movement and was therefore, uh,
01:57:45.600
uh, and it's therefore the influence of Georgie, which we can trace in the Elizabethan age,
01:57:50.040
and, uh, the influence of Christian Kabbalah is really the one in the same as Rosicrucianism.
01:57:57.420
Could you maybe explain to our, um, listeners what Rosicrucianism is?
01:58:02.340
Uh, Rosicrucianism is a teaching or teachings that are a combination or syncretism of occultism
01:58:09.680
and other religious beliefs and practices, practices, including Hermeticism, uh, Jewish
01:58:19.640
The central feature of Rosicrucianism is a belief that its members possess a secret wisdom
01:58:25.780
that is handed down to them from ancient times.
01:58:30.820
So basically, Rosicrucianism is what we would call, um, a modern Gnosticism.
01:58:38.260
Right, like, this is an extremely common idea throughout the, um, the ancient Near East.
01:58:45.920
This is, all of these occult circles are closely associated with the idea of a secret gnosis
01:58:51.340
or a secret technique, like that there is a certain technique or craft or way of proceeding
01:58:57.240
or fundamental understanding of the world that only these men have access to, which makes
01:59:01.940
them superior to all others because they see the true nature of reality.
01:59:05.320
And it's interesting because these heresies, um, are kind of directly opposed to mainstream
01:59:11.200
Orthodox Christianity, which posits that the true nature of reality has been completely
01:59:17.000
And his church, which is his mystical body, is kind of the exoteric manifestation of these
01:59:25.660
So it's Rosicrucianism, it's within Rosicrucianism that we sort of see, uh, the flowering of
01:59:33.260
this, um, Jewish Kabbalistic infiltration take hold.
01:59:37.760
And the story here really begins with our friend, Holy Roman Emperor, Rudolf II.
01:59:43.540
So Rudolf II, 18 July, 1552 through 20 January, 1612, was Holy Roman Emperor, King of Hungary
01:59:53.460
and Croatia, King of Bohemia, Archduke of Austria, et cetera, et cetera.
02:00:00.080
His legacy has been traditionally viewed in three ways.
02:00:02.840
First, as an ineffectual and effete ruler whose mistakes led directly to the Thirty Years' War.
02:00:12.600
A great and influential patron of Northern Mannerist art.
02:00:17.500
And third, a devotee of the occult arts and learning which helped seed the Scientific Revolution.
02:00:24.980
Like his contemporary, Elizabeth I of England, Rudolf dangled himself as a prize in a string
02:00:32.740
of diplomatic negotiations for marriages, but never, in fact, married.
02:00:37.280
It has been proposed by various scholars that he was, in fact, a homosexual.
02:00:42.760
During his periods of self-imposed isolation, Rudolf reportedly had affairs with his court chamberlain,
02:00:53.420
One of these, one Philip Lang, ruled him so completely for years that he was hated by those seeking favor with the emperor.
02:01:04.300
Wow, sounds like a real, you know, I mean, you guys have to understand that it's not faggotry that's the problem.
02:01:14.340
If you're not flamboyant, it's okay if you have sex with men in the ass.
02:01:17.220
Wait, I'm, I'm, I know this is a serious show, but the day Chamberlain's name was von Rumpf?
02:01:28.220
Well, that's kind of, that's kind of, that's kind of, that's kind of similar to, uh, Donald Drumpf,
02:01:33.960
so I think that we've, we've already seen the connections between modern day politics and, uh...
02:01:49.600
Okay, so, uh, originally he was raised in his uncle's Catholic court in Spain.
02:01:54.700
He was, however, personally tolerant of the early rising of Protestantism and other religions, including Judaism.
02:02:04.880
He largely withdrew from Catholic observances, even in death, denying, not receiving the last sacramental rites.
02:02:16.980
He had little attachment to Protestantism, uh, either, uh, except as a counterweight to what he viewed as, uh, overreaching papal authority.
02:02:29.780
He put his primary support behind such, uh, sects as conciliarists, irenicists, and humanists.
02:02:39.340
Uh, when the papacy instigated the counter-reformation, using, uh, papal nuncios and other agents sent to his court,
02:02:47.320
Rudolf backed those who he thought were the most neutral in the debate, not taking a side or trying to affect restraint,
02:02:54.640
uh, thus precipitating the political chaos that eventually led to the outbreak of civil war in the empire.
02:03:05.600
So he was, I mean, so he basically was a faggot, fan-sitter, agnostic.
02:03:15.180
So here we're going to see, uh, things really start to take off, uh, astrology and alchemy
02:03:21.820
were regarded as mainstream scientific fields within Renaissance Prague, and Rudolf was a
02:03:28.180
His lifelong quest was to find the Philosopher's Stone, and Rudolf spared no expense in bringing
02:03:36.520
Men such as Giordano Bruno, Edward Kelly, and da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, John D.
02:03:46.040
Rudolf even performed his own experiments in a private laboratory.
02:03:50.260
When Rudolf was a prince, Nostradamus prepared a horoscope which was dedicated to him as prince
02:04:01.740
Interestingly enough, he was so ineffectual as a ruler that he was overthrown by his younger
02:04:06.800
brother, Archduke Matthias, uh, and deprived of every title except Holy Roman Emperor to
02:04:13.940
which Matthias was himself elected after Rudolf died, unlamented.
02:04:19.900
Uh, in May 1618, however, the event, with the event known as the Defenstration of Prague,
02:04:31.440
The Protestant Bohemians, in defense of rights granted to them by Rudolf II in a letter of
02:04:49.680
Well, and that's, you know, just to trigger my friends who are Hussites, these same Jews
02:04:56.880
that influenced Emperor Rudolf are the ones that influenced and were with Jan Huss.
02:05:04.200
That, I mean, it's, this is one of these things, it's, I actually, it, it should stop blowing
02:05:12.420
me away, but it's like you, you open up these rocks of history, and underneath is a Jew.
02:05:23.800
One of the, um, one of my commenters was talking about it, because there was a certain, um,
02:05:28.200
listener of ours who was very upset by my anti-Jan Huss propaganda and rhetoric.
02:05:35.320
So, um, I just have to say, you know, Jan Huss got what he deserved.
02:05:53.120
So, Frederick V, so-called Winter King of Bohemia, uh, Prince Elector of the Palatine, was married
02:06:01.820
to Princess Elizabeth Stuart, daughter of James I.
02:06:09.000
So, in 1619, the Kingdom of Bohemia rejected the Catholic Habsburg heir to the throne and
02:06:15.040
chose a Protestant, uh, specifically Calvinist, Frederick instead.
02:06:18.800
And his marriage in 1613 to Elizabeth Stuart, the daughter of James I of England, was seen
02:06:25.300
as a great strengthening of the Protestant cause in Europe.
02:06:28.260
The offer of the Bohemian crown raised the possibility of a league of evangelical princes
02:06:32.980
that would break the hegemony of Habsburg and Spanish power.
02:06:38.180
The supporters of the Bohemian project, as manifested in the literature of those years,
02:06:42.820
the purported issue from an ancient but heretofore secret order of the Rosy Cross, also seemed
02:06:49.840
to have hoped that Frederick's move from Heidelberg to Prague, the old capital of Rudolf II, might
02:06:56.360
be the preliminary to Frederick's ascension to the throne of the Holy Roman Empire, an
02:07:03.480
Thus, the connection between that ancient federation and the Church of Rome would be broken, and
02:07:08.560
the empire would become an instrument, in the words of the Rosicrucian literature, of
02:07:20.440
So, basically, they wanted to construct the Synagogue of Satan.
02:07:25.580
So, you're basically telling me Wallenstein did nothing wrong.
02:07:31.600
I didn't know, like, the idea of novus ordo seclorum.
02:07:44.420
I mean, and this is fundamentally the dichotomy that we have here, is between Jesus Christ,
02:07:48.980
who is the true world ruler, in that sense, the cosmic order, and the king of everything,
02:07:57.920
And then the reign of Satan, who is also called the prince of the earth.
02:08:04.100
These are the two kind of poles upon which these forces vector and draw.
02:08:15.160
And this is going to tie in with the previous discussion of the sort of esoteric roots of
02:08:22.300
the scientific method, but in this same Rosicrucian literature, you have the concept of the invisible
02:08:28.860
college, and the invisible college, as a concept, is a precursor, is a direct inspiration of
02:08:35.540
the Royal Society of London, of course, the Society of Natural Philosophers centered around
02:08:41.280
Robert Boyle, which sort of kickstarted the Anglo-Enlightenment.
02:08:57.140
So it's actually quite a lot to unpack, but it's – so basically what you're trying
02:09:05.900
to elucidate to us is that the seeds of the Enlightenment and the seeds of the modern
02:09:09.800
empirical scientific method come not from the milieu of scholasticism, as many authors
02:09:15.940
claim, but from basically Kabbalism and Rosicrucianism, which infiltrated their way into Christianity
02:09:28.740
The scientific so-called milieu is in direct opposition to scholasticism.
02:09:40.240
The Kabbalistic writers were enemies of even the scholastic versions of Judaism.
02:09:52.120
Now, this is kind of a long shot, but do you know if Baruch Spinoza figures into any
02:10:03.740
That name has only come up in peripheries in my notes and studying thus far, but I should
02:10:12.240
not be surprised, and perhaps we can have an update on this discussion at some later date.
02:10:17.060
Yeah, that'd be excellent to know, because he's – it would not surprise me if he was
02:10:20.760
involved, but I have another evidence to suggest that.
02:10:26.860
So, one of the key texts of Rosicrucianism is called The Chemical Wedding of Christian
02:10:38.980
In this text appears a peculiar monogram or glyph that is called the Monos Hieroglyphica, and
02:10:54.320
it is deeply associated with the mysticism of John Dee.
02:10:58.020
And what's interesting about this text, this chemical wedding, is that it's an allegory
02:11:10.440
that talks about the correct way to understand the New Testament, which is basically to throw
02:11:26.420
Hmm, let's – what could be the purpose behind this doctrine?
02:11:36.540
Basically, it's – you know, you don't – there is no hierarchy.
02:11:42.640
You can have a personal and direct relationship with your Lord Jesus Christ.
02:11:52.260
So, this is one of the fundamental ideas behind this Gnostic heresy, is that if you possess the
02:12:00.240
secret knowledge, you possess the technique, then you need no intermediaries to interact
02:12:04.920
with the divine realm, that you are the mediator between your soul and the eternal principle,
02:12:12.000
and all that really matters is that relationship.
02:12:14.420
Everything else is secondary, especially in the material world.
02:12:19.800
Basically, you can self-initiate and free yourself from the prison of matter.
02:12:25.480
Oh, Doc, I have something in my notes related to your point about the Royal Society.
02:12:30.060
Virtually all the Royal Society's founding members were Freemasons.
02:12:36.000
One could reasonably argue that the Royal Society itself, at least in its inception, was a Masonic
02:12:41.120
institution, derived through Andrea's Christian unions – I'm not sure what that is – from
02:12:54.100
So, out of Rosicrucianism, you can see the foundations of the early theoretical Masonic lodges.
02:13:05.260
Yeah, and I think that this kind of goes back to the esoteric idea of the craft that we've
02:13:10.740
And this is, like, at the core of Freemasonic, but also secular thinking of the ancient world,
02:13:19.960
where if you were a fabricator, you had what the Greeks called a techni.
02:13:26.120
And this is like a skill or a certain set of esoteric principles that enabled you to shape
02:13:34.080
And it was viewed as kind of a magic, because, I mean, if you're a blacksmith and you can
02:13:37.580
take, you know, a muddy piece of bog iron and turn it into a beautiful sword, I mean,
02:13:46.980
They had the techni in the sense that they could convince people of, you know, anything.
02:13:54.800
You're acting directly upon the spiritual reality of the world around you.
02:13:58.580
And, you know, this might seem weird, but the thing with the transsexuals kind of ties
02:14:06.220
into that, because it's kind of the ultimate, I guess, you know, dark apotheosis of that,
02:14:13.160
where you have, oh, well, even my body itself is totally immutable and changeable, and I
02:14:20.380
can change my own inner essence, essentially, you know, my own sex, what's been given to
02:14:31.480
And so this idea coalesced, essentially, in Freemasons, in Freemasonry, rather.
02:14:38.240
And so, I mean, depending on who you believe as to where the Freemasonic order came out of,
02:14:43.380
but let's just assume that it was, for brevity, an evolution of the mason, stonemason guilds
02:14:51.580
Well, I mean, the guild system, they had a very tight control on their members, their
02:14:56.500
journeymen and their masters, the men who possessed this techni, who had the specialized
02:15:00.720
skill necessary to work with marble, let's say, or build cathedrals.
02:15:04.860
And especially when you're dealing with high architecture, there are incredibly precise
02:15:12.860
mathematical formula and principles that you have to be in possession of for you to build
02:15:26.320
If you look at the ancient Greek sculptures, their sculptors had this technique, and so the
02:15:33.860
You know, in line with the divine, the golden mean and other things like this.
02:15:38.680
And so, the idea is that these medieval guild, these medieval stonemasons, eventually, you
02:15:47.580
know, folded in this Jewish, Kabbalistic understanding of the construction of the physical universe to
02:16:04.680
It's the same, I understand, craft means techni.
02:16:07.940
Yeah, except that there's actually very little evidence that the actual stonemasons' guilds
02:16:20.000
Don't they say things like creating things brings you closer to the creator or something?
02:16:29.820
Well, I've never heard it recounted, but it's certainly a Masonic idea.
02:16:35.200
So, I have an extended quote here that I think ties a lot of these threads together, if I may.
02:16:50.420
What was this new science that the Rosicrucian literature claimed to be about to transform
02:16:58.580
It was Rosicrucian Hermeticism, heavily focused on mathematics, but with a keen interest in
02:17:05.880
the mechanical arts developed by engineers of antiquity.
02:17:10.180
Frederick's gardens at Heidelberg, for instance, were famous for their automata and their other
02:17:18.560
Hermetic, in this context, usually means the theosophy of Hermes Trismegestus, who was purported
02:17:25.660
to be a philosopher of ancient Egypt, whom the Renaissance identified with Moses, though,
02:17:32.040
in fact, the writings described to him date from the Greco-Roman period.
02:17:35.820
Like the earlier Renaissance, it included a systematic interest in alchemy, but in a new
02:17:42.480
alchemy of Periclesius, with its heavy focus on medicine and the philosophy of the parallel
02:17:55.240
This, too, had been an element of Renaissance thought since at least the 15th century, but
02:18:00.000
the Rosicrucian Kabbalah was the new Lurianic Kabbalah that was developed in the Levant after
02:18:08.580
It was not just messianic, but it was reformist, looking for the reconstruction of a damaged
02:18:21.720
And I think that this really ties into, interestingly enough, what we were talking about in the first
02:18:27.720
half of the show, is these guys who buy into the idea of the Enlightenment.
02:18:32.040
Well, the reason why they don't have concrete systems that function consistently with each
02:18:39.500
other is because they buy into this deception on one level or another.
02:18:49.640
Well, a lie is not just like a falsehood that you utter.
02:18:57.860
It's a view of the world or a way of operating which is not in relationship to the way in
02:19:15.800
And, you know, even though a fictional story can be, is right, it's made up, right?
02:19:23.860
But it can still be artistically and, you know, true.
02:19:28.720
It can still be true to representing, you know, human nature, human experience.
02:19:34.420
And I think that's, you know, I don't want to go off on an art tangent, but I think that's
02:19:41.780
kind of an issue with, like, contemporary art is it's artistically untrue.
02:19:47.000
You know, it doesn't reflect, you know, human humanity.
02:19:58.040
I think we're going over time here, but please, we'll be glad to have you, you know, wrap up
02:20:05.900
So, tying all these trends, these currents together, is our original secret agent man,
02:20:18.000
John Dee, the English mathematician, astronomer, astrologer, occult philosopher, and advisor
02:20:25.200
He devoted much of his life to the study of alchemy, divination, and hermetic philosophy.
02:20:29.420
He was also an advocate of England's imperial expansion.
02:20:36.160
Dee was a serious mathematician and a notable statesman.
02:20:38.960
He is sometimes credited with the measure, perhaps with the measure of exaggeration, with
02:20:46.380
And he was interested in the natural world as such.
02:20:49.400
And to use Francis Bacon's later phrase, he hoped to use natural knowledge for the relief
02:20:55.460
He was also, of course, quite chatty with the angels.
02:21:05.920
I had planned to do my section of the show on demonology and give you guys an introduction
02:21:13.780
We'd be here for three hours if that was the case.
02:21:18.820
So that will have to be a subject for another day.
02:21:21.720
And then one last linkage is that Dee's influence later spread to the New World through John
02:21:33.680
Winthrop Jr., an alchemist and follower of Dee.
02:21:36.960
Uh, and then one of his later, uh, the, I'm sorry to interrupt the pure, the, like the Puritan,
02:21:53.420
That's a phrase that they used in some, um, I think Dee used that in some of his writing.
02:21:59.020
Uh, the new Atlantis was actually a, uh, uh, that was a term in use and it was a, uh, manuscript,
02:22:06.840
uh, describing a sort of utopia, um, written by one of Dee's disciples.
02:22:22.360
Just, uh, and also, uh, so, um, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,
02:22:29.020
we must now understand the 17th century wars of religion as a conflict between Christian
02:22:35.480
orthodoxy and Gnosticism, or at least between Catholicism and an esoteric Christianity in
02:22:47.180
Massachusetts governor, John Winthrop invited, uh, Comenius, another Rosicrucian alchemist
02:22:54.280
to come to America and found and head Harvard college.
02:23:05.920
I'm kind of at a loss for insightful commentary because it stands in such, uh, such stark truth
02:23:14.520
I mean, we've talked about before on NRO and in other subjects, the idea that the totality
02:23:21.260
of the Enlightenment is the plague, uh, which has brought down the West, that this sort of
02:23:26.900
nominalist empiricist thinking is just, you know, one huge Christian heresy that has, um,
02:23:34.520
infected our governments and our souls basically.
02:23:37.700
But it's incredible to have not only, I mean, you know, you make that sort of that proposal
02:23:43.480
in a spiritual sense, but it's incredible to see this evidence that, I mean, it really
02:23:52.360
Yeah, uh, how much all of these guys were actually in communication with each other.
02:24:02.300
Um, they certainly were men of letters and corresponded with each other.
02:24:08.380
That's, that is a serious question with any sort of conspiracy research is, is how, not
02:24:16.040
that these things occur, but how planned are they?
02:24:21.580
Um, you know, I mean, I tend to take the view that personally, that it's, it is in some
02:24:29.780
ways planned centrally and in other ways, it's more of just kind of the spirit of the age,
02:24:35.780
so to speak, um, cause I don't think you could ever, I don't think you could ever definitively
02:24:41.980
say it's all from one source, but that's possible as well.
02:24:46.620
I would say that the synthesis of those two views is that, um, on the human perspective,
02:24:53.040
on the human plane, it's not one grand unified conspiracy theory, but there's not just the
02:25:06.320
No, and that's, that's for me was a big revelation is when I started thinking about, well, we have
02:25:10.100
this spiritual warfare that's going on and we have these, uh, organized legions of fallen
02:25:16.100
You don't need to have a physical orchestrated conspiracy between men if, uh, there are spirits
02:25:28.240
So anything else you would like to add, Doc, or, uh, I think we're basically at the end
02:25:37.480
I've got, I've got a massive quantity of notes here, but I think I've painted most of the
02:25:44.160
I think that this is a subject that we're going to have to revisit in the future.
02:25:47.160
Um, there will be another, sorry, if I may, Florian, I'm, I think because this topic intersects
02:25:54.900
so many other topics, I mean, to really do it justice, you'd have to break it off into
02:26:02.560
You'd have to have another talk about the geopolitical, you know, aspects of it.
02:26:08.260
And I mean, it's, it's just, there's so much there.
02:26:10.660
I mean, you can spend, I mean, you can spend the rest of your series just talking about this
02:26:19.180
Well, I mean, it's all on this, it's all on the table for discussion.
02:26:24.260
If I could throw out some resources for people who are interested.
02:26:29.360
So, um, I highly recommend, uh, in addition, of course, uh, always be a loyal follower of
02:26:35.420
Mysterium Fascist, but also, um, uh, the Orthodox nationalist, uh, Dr. Raphael Matthew
02:26:44.280
Johnson is, um, uh, highly learned and erudite and a scholar on many of these same manners.
02:26:59.040
Hopefully we'll have him on the, uh, the show fairly soon.
02:27:02.020
Oh, if I could probably bring up some of my sources.
02:27:06.180
Um, I, I personally, I recommend, uh, Jay Dyer, jaysanalysis.com.
02:27:11.860
Um, another one is conspiracyarchive.com, which sounds cheesy, but their research is top notch.
02:27:19.360
Um, and then in terms of actual books, I think everyone in the alt-right should, uh, or not
02:27:26.700
alt-right, I guess, but everyone who's curious should at least attempt to read Carol Quigley's
02:27:33.240
Um, that's about the 20th century, but that ties in a lot of the, uh, you know, geopolitical
02:27:39.200
questions and, and the also ties into the secret societies.
02:27:47.500
And there's a particular book, uh, The Rosencrucian Enlightenment by Francis Yates, which is, uh,
02:28:02.940
And we haven't talked too much about Freemasonry, or, uh, at least there's, um, Albert Pike.
02:28:08.560
He was a 33rd degree Freemason, and he wrote a book called Morals and Dogmas, and in that
02:28:14.660
book, uh, a lot is described about the more higher levels, and it's some spooky stuff, man.
02:28:20.840
Uh, Manly P. Hall is another, uh, early 20th century, yeah.
02:28:26.280
I haven't read any of his things in depth, but I am familiar with some of his, uh, his work.
02:28:34.840
Several of our guests have left, but I'm your host, Florian Geyer.
02:29:01.560
So to all of our viewers, our listeners, I should say,
