@J. C. yeh?

🙏🏻 outstanding work.

love this for you!

Welcome aboard!

We can too. All answers to our questions are with in. No need for.anything else

the elite alwways knew, is us the masses who are negated this knowledge

there is no vital relationship between humans and psychedelics. that's a myth promoted by the intelligence agencies and social engineers

@@djcorvette8375 in some way you are right ( beatles,summer of LOVE ,mk ultra etc ) , by the other hand you have humanity using plants to induce altered state before " history" started

There is a theory that primitive man speeded up his cognitive maturity or evolution by discovering edible mushrooms, he began to have a sense of self and it was a mind expanding experience such that the mind matured from more of a primitive brain to what some of us have today

Welcome back! Nice to see you back around these parts!

You bet.

Dr. Phil! I miss you! Hope you are well!!!

@@TheModernHermeticist I mis you, too! I can't believe it's been a year-and-a-half since the last 'Zoo, and how very important indeed it is to make that in-perosn connection at least annually for my own sense of well-being! I hope your Christmas was good--mine was all right under the circumstances--and that we can speak further soon in some form or another! :)

Thanks!

I'm thinking of making a video on the myth of er.

@@TheModernHermeticist I hope you do, it's so rarely discussed. I feel it's an important part of Plato's teachings that deserves more attention and investigation, along with Cratylus. Thank you for your amazing content 👏👏👏

just take some L

@@fragiro7350 yes, i made my own katabasis, but I'm rooting for a whole culture that has the depth of feeling for initiate artist. Thx

Trying investigating the Initiatory rites of Orpheus. Better fit for an artist, just less hard information. Start with the basic Orphic myth and you will see what I mean.

Preach 🙌

Chuck Hainsworth Maybe not the myth to recommend considering how it ends.

Glad you enjoyed it

It's true, the Samothracian Mysteries, which I always assumed was very similar in content to Eleusis. I always did wonder how that statue fit into everything. Funny how so much of our modern conception of angels comes from Hellenism rather than the wheeled and many eyed ophanim of Judaism.

Samothraki is a well known camping and tripping place to this day

Samothrace was probably the place were few mystery cults met and syncretised, Thracian proto-dionisyan/orphic cults, anatolian mysteries of Kybele and Cabiri/Coribantes with atthic eleusinian rites.

It’s said that the legendary Thracian king Eumolpus received the knowledge of the mysteries directly from Demeter.

Thank you kindly. I debated putting in music, but for as many people who want it, there are many people who get upset by it, so I opted not to use any this time around.

@@TheModernHermeticist you should put suggested companion music somewhere.

Happy new year!

Thanks for listening 👍

He's just great.

You checked out the encyclopedia yet? Just outstanding!

Cheers!

I have looked at it very briefly, but not in depth. From what I gather, I think I've read a good deal of the material he cites.

@@TheModernHermeticist It is EXTREMELY well researched and sheds an entirely new light on the true extent and expanse of the practice of the mysteries outside of Eleusis and raises questions regarding possible "missionary" type spreading of initiation into The Mysteries far beyond the Mediterranean. I highly recommend it. I think you would appreciate the content as it's not "just a casual read" rather borders on higher scholarly study. Awesome video btw. Very well presented. Thank you

@@TheModernHermeticist I thought so too, because I am very familiar with the material. But Muraresku ties it together in a way that is a genuine advance in the field. The research is up to the minute, because it appears that the gatekeepers [The Vatican, The Louvre] believe the popular culture is now post-Christian enough to receive information they have been sitting on for generations. They are releasing a lot of what they have now. I listened to it as an audio book that the author narrated. Your documentary is focused on Eleusis alone, unlike Brian's book. It is an absolutely gorgeous presentation! Thank you!

@@TheModernHermeticist Just found your channel and subbed. Highly recommend you give the book a thorough read, though. Thanks for the video!

@@thyhandrevolve If you google "sculpture veiled goddess Eleusinian" it pops up immediately. In this link you can click on "I" on the left panel, that should help you out. Cyrene: Persephone, Greek Goddess of the Underworld; Museum of Ancient Sculpture In Greek mythology, Persephone, daughter of the fertility goddess Demeter, was abducted to the underworld by Hades but was allowed to return for part of the year, when the earth became fruitful. She is often depicted, as here, drawing a veil across her face, indicating her time on earth is ending and she is returning to the underworld, when the earth once again becomes barren. www.normpowersphotography.com/Travel/Libya/i-KJDZrvP

​@@TheModernHermeticist I'll show you where this might be coming from, because all the symbolism is there, many can see its link to Taurus and the 7 Sisters, it is quite sexual, as you see the horn of Taurus is seen as a penis, Taurus in known as the Throat, and the horn is a symbol of the rays of the Sun, it will be consumed by Geb/Gaia, the Virgin Earth, as you know 'vir' is Latin for Man and 'gyne' is Greek for Woman, together they form Virgin a Man/Woman, and in the Heavens it is Virgo, which the words "Boy/Girl" played backwards says "Virgo" In late November is when Taurus drops below the Horizon, Now the Ray of the Sun was Just Swallowed by Geb/Gaia, seen in the Western horizon, but on the Eastern horizon, you find the Sun in the Claws of the Scorpion, which Scorpio is the Sexual Organ, and Sagittarius the Hips & Thighs, making that Cave Shaped constellation of Ophiuchus the Mountainous Womb of the Goddess. Lets go back to the other Horizon, this is where the Hands of the Goddess is Fashioning the missing Part of Osiris (14), he holds it up high between Gemini the Hands and the Throat Taurus, Cut from below his Belt, setting Free Hatsya, that bright star at the tip, at Northern latitudes find it plowing the Horizon as the Sun inters Ophiuchus, Now the Rebirth of the Christ Child, but Not until 6,606 hours later, 9 Months 7 hours, placing the date around September 8th, the birthday of Mary, the Mother of Christ. 7 Sisters, 7 main stars form Orion, the 8th is spread over the horizon, and the 7 main stars of Ophiuchus, as the plow star of Orion is on the Horizon, puts Alula at Midheaven, it means "First Born" it is the Thumb of a bird wing, 7 hours later all 3 paws of the Great Bear Ursa, and Uras was the Mountainous wife of the Sky god Anu, it Means Standing Serpent, you know what that means, well 7 hours later all her paws are on the horizon, 7 hours later she take a break, and sits down on her Sagittarius, before spinning back off towards Sagittarius, This should be enough, if you like I could show you more, but run the chance that TY will delete it, they may not even like me showing you this, I never know what comment they delete next

If you do it with absolute involvement, I'm not surprised.

My take. The process of embedding is that old putting a bit of the old away to have it ready for the new. I think where ever this was done, the moldy ergot on rye or barley or any grain was used as a ritualistic symbol of time, and the hallucinogens were a simultaneous and not computed factor, back to our pre-human evolution.. In Salem, it was an accident. Same result in a conservative pilgrim Christian setting = The Devil.

Yeh, they focus on Archaic Roman religion from the early days before Hellenization, and then the last 2 chapters are about the restoration under Augustus.

@@fragiro7350 ergot instead

I wonder if he divulged more secrets to people in the other countries he fled to.

I believe that he divulged may be some "recipe" which shouldnt be used without Mystagogue and sacred ceremony, but he could not really tell how it is, to be God, to be all at once.

🍄

their visual experience would be off as usual I guess, the other senses would have a wild feast though. Also, on some stronger psychodelics you can temporarily lose sight as it's basically useless for the state you're in. but then you use your imagination, which is full of internal(?) symbolism - which in turn draws from what you see - and here the question begins

When I take psychedelics, I see black and white.

I did two talks more or less on this subject at the end of the first part of Encyclopedia Hermetica (in the episodes called Katabasis and Anabasis), they could potentially be worth your while if you're interested in the businesses of 'going down'/'going up.'

@@TheModernHermeticist I am very interested and WILL be looking those suggestions up. Thank you.

@Gavin D I have a couple times in a few different ways. In the Empyrean, which was like a waking dream, I as Jake Letzler the soul (resonance retriever) hadn't been born yet. I was re-living what my Spirit Light Body had seen and heard on it's way to and at the place in that realm where the Spirit can enter into Earth, all the way up to jumping into the massive whirlpool leading down into here. Another time, I was very young and naive yet I used to be able to fly to normally unreachable dreamscapes. This ONE time I ended up in a white hallway with a window looking in to the realm I wanted to go into. This white bearded old man came in and wanted to teach me how to get back there but I was too in a hurry to get passed that window, which I eventually did. That realm I went into was like embryonic fluid but once I let it fill my lungs I could swim onward just fine. So much happened but it takes a long time to write...and read. The reason I give these two times so much validity is because during both occasions, even though there's nearly 34 years between the two and one was a sleeping dream while the other happened while awake, there was a 30+ something female and a 15+ male counterpart. And the female is the one "in charge" at both places. In both their cases I believe the pairs both started out as one androgynous being. It's as if they portray themselves in whatever forms/state of mass "OuR" bodies are currently in. Not because they want to but because they are tied to us for as long as we're here, and have to represent us in body styles and this splitting off genders whether they like it or not. In both cases however, both pairs seemed about as high up the workforce chain for this amusement park we call the Earth as "a" Being(s) can get. Perception is key in this place. Which is why it's been thrown all out of wack. Iv'e found a pretty easy way to think about how this place called Earth works in the ways that are not seen. The AUM is the Galaxy's point source sound resonance. As this sound progresses outward it develops it's octaves. These octaves are then themselves dimensions. When we are awake we experience all these different dimensional octaves at the same time, which creates our shared reality. But when we dream I think we can travel into them individually, but only if we can sense/"hear" them. If we cannot for some reason sense/hear a certain sound or octave of such then we'd never know there is such a place to go to, and if you did you still wouldn't be able to locate the place. In the place you want to get back to, try to remember it's sound. Mimic whatever that sound may be whether a buzzing, static, crystal, chime, etc. If you can hum it or duplicate it with something before you go to bed then your body will eventually "fall into tune" with it and you then may very well just suddenly find yourself where you're wanting to be as you dream without even ever having to waste time getting there. (all is AtUM, all is a-tune, but the Creator of ALL is atom...meaning that particular God works with the first two all"s... point source and octave's of point source). Sound, vibration, frequency = energy-(or loss of), pressure and matter. (For it to come into existence it must first be "spoken", so to speak) One last hail-mary would be if you're coherent enough while dreaming, chose to walk away from it. Whatever is going on in that dream, walk straight away from that spot while thinking about the place you want to end up at. After walking for about 200 feet or so you should find yourself walking thru an invisible "doorway/portal" right into another place. Hopefully the place you want to be at. LoL, I took a lot of shortcuts to try to keep this message short but I have a feeling you're far enough along to understand much of what I wrote. As you can see I don't have a problem spending time talking like this so if there's ever anything you would like me to further add into, just let me know. Good luck.

@Gavin D , that place you describe sounds like the mid Heaven type place that is first talked about in an old story called The Divine Comedy (Dante's Inferno) written by Dante Alighieri. The story is about a living man guided thru "Hell" by an Angel in order get to the Impyrean above. (Go down to get up). Basically the journey takes place within the toroidal field of this place. The same one my Spirit jumped into so I could be here for awhile.. They start here on Earth by going down the hourglass center of it where they meet people whom had died on Earth, now living in a place most would consider as Heaven in that vast "bit" of counterspace. After that they keep treking downward thru the different levels of Hell then climb up around the outside of the toroidal hourglass section they had originally come in thru the center of, until reaching the Empyrean. Please understand that when I had my waking vision there, I had never once heard of that place until a few month's later. Yet I saw it very much how it is described to be by the Ancients. I hope you can quickly find yourself at that place you want to be at again. A year and a half ago, were you watching a specific show before bed? Was there a specific song you listened to a lot back then? Sometimes those things can make you resonate at specific frequencies before you fall asleep. The last thing would be, if you've moved to a different spot of the world since it stopped...but I think the area would have less to do with it than your body's frequency before bed does.

The true initiation is when you clip through the walls or fall through the floor of the temple of time and end up in some white void outside of time and space. It's weird when it happens in game, but perhaps it can prepare you for when far weirder things happens "in real life"

Hell yes brother! We need the truth!

Carina is the Constellation that is the ship. Carina is also in our trachea that Divides the left and Right. Also in the Bladder there is a Carina, not to mention Covid ventilators. Shamans and I believe these Mystery cults took Mushrooms and shamans would give their Urine to their tribes people.

Aside from general Shinto influence, I recommend watching Good Blood's video, "A Masterpiece in Subtext" regarding Ocarina of Time. Rather than an initiation, it is more like an anti-initiation sacrifice ritual.

A game like ocarina of time can open imagination into such things. But at some point you have to eat a handful of mushrooms and spend an odd night in the woods if you want to take things a step further.

It's a very old recording done on a crappy webcam microphone.

It wouldn't be much of a mystery otherwise.

Delicious.

@@fragiro7350 Each God or Goddess has different names depending on the type of cult. Kore which means "Maiden" is her name as the Goddess of Spring. The Eleusinian Mysteries is a cult of her when she is Persephone, Queen of the Dead.

Thanks to CIA "scientists". Obviously CIA worship other entities not the Gods or the Titans.

Corn was the common term for any grain in those days. Think Barley or Barleycorn. The term was later applied to what we now associate as the corn (maize) introduced much later into Europe and the Middle East. The Bible also mentioned ears of corn, but they were referring to a local grain, again most probably barley. The term "corn" was used by English translators of ancient texts, and is not to be confused with the original Greek word for the particular grain type.
