I love your work so much. Could I add that I think one big problem in our Ahrimanic world is that we conceive of time as linear, a progression, something to try and outwit in some way in order to live forever, as opposed to the conception of time opening up in the moment as a fractal blossom, the kingdom of heaven? No wonder everybody is so frantic, gallivanting about in a frenzy and missing the point by 359 degrees …
You won’t believe it. I just got my ticket to Hamburg to meet Dan Brown at a literature festival 😂 can’t wait to read his new book!!
Regarding Rudolf Steiner, his centre is magical and a must-visit place on earth! There was a fascinating synchronicity guided me there two years ago and I had similar experiences what Silva had in Stonehenge. Speaking of Silva, he’s a neighbour of Dan Brown. How interesting hahaha!
Mystical and out of body experiences can also be had on a simple yoga mat. No dying or drugs required. Just body, breath, and the technology of ancient practices. Not even postural yoga is needed — I think in some people just yoga nidra (a meditation technique done lying down) or chanting is an accessible gate to it. Your results may vary. Jeremy Renner’s experience was in part facilitated by extended, conscious breathing. He credits the memory of accompanying his mother to Lamaze classes as a young teen for playing a big part in saving his life that day.
This is amazing and resonates with me so much!! After having a random spiritual awakening a couple years ago I have been diving into many of the themes you bring up here. Thank you for sharing, it's so meaningful.
Exhilarating. Application and evolution aside, I’m repeatedly reminded of Steiner’s contemporary, Mary Baker Eddy, and her articulation of similar themes: mortal mind/matter, god as divine, unconditional and omnipotent love, and non-local consciousness.
This whole idea resonates. I think you are right. An awakening of the "cosmopolitan man" is happening for sure. It happened to me, and I see it all around me. And I was trapped in Ahriman before the surprising awakening.
I got chills when reading the following part:
"Dr. Gilbert has said that the Michaelic Age will see the emergence of a kind of mind he called “cosmopolitan man.” This is someone at home in every spiritual tradition who is driven to synthesize them all to find the core truths.
What kind of idea would be most powerful against Ahriman, what sword of truth would slay the dragon?
This idea would ideally be common to almost all mystical traditions, supported by leading edge science and directly at odds with Ahrimanic materialism.
I think a particularly strong answer is the idea that consciousness isn’t restricted to our bodies."
I've had the strong sense increasingly when I meditate that I'm going to leave my body. It's common now that my consciousness "spreads out" far around me and I feel "one" with everything around me, but it just feels like the next step is just so close. Like it's something intuitive.
It seems like lots of people are writing about it. You and everyone you interview for example. Lots of people experienced it independently but are starting to find each other now. That gives me hope for a pushback. Arhiman doesn’t get humanity just handed to him. And what you are considering the most important thing, lots of other people are too in different fields. I’m in tech for example (SaaS app) and we are pushing hard into human creativity and pushing back against AI. And creativity is the kissing cousin of spirituality (in fact, that’s what my book is about how my creative awakening led to spiritual awakening — they’re basically the same thing). In a way, we are all finding each other and grassroots forming a new counter-culture.
Found this absolutely profound, very high resonance level, 10/10! 😄Thank you for taking us on your journey of discovery, it is helping me immensely on mine🙏

I agree: as I learned in the Peter Merry interview recently, advanced leadership will increasingly be energetic sensitivity.
💯

You know what… right now I would believe it…

I didn't know that! And my deep hope is that these experiences are accessible (or at least believed) without weird pyramid rituals or anything.
Hell of a lede, mate. You're moving closer to the light.
This one felt a lot less like me writing it…
I absolutely love all your articles because you’re writing everything that I’m thinking about! Talk about convergence :)
I am sorry that you too are going crazy….
😂💞
Absolutely batshit I’m afraid! But I’m still kicking for now, so onwards and upwards.
Well we will have a banging rave in the mental home.
Count me in!🤣

Glad to know I’m probably not crazy then…

Oh thank you! I wasn’t familiar with her. I have to say, recent events has made me think of Ahriman even more.

I hope what you're experiencing in microcosm is what we get in macrocosm.
I have had a vision of an "overview effect" moment for humanity.

Thank you, this came through with max force, so I’m glad it’s resonating with the right people.
❣️Beautiful
