I had a podcast conversation with a fellow farer of the innermost reaches of the Hidden and the Manifest—the substack content-creator @seeingthroughtheworld. We discussed Neoplatonic theurgy and tantra in relation to the perennial structure of awakening consciousness; the narrow line separating deep non-dual immersion (samadhi states) from psychotic breakdown; the importance of connection to a living lineage; the ideal of the Overman as the eternal process of forging new and vital modes of being-in-the-world; the transformative power of the vibration of ineffable names; and more. May it be of benefit. https://youtu.be/AX02MXRD4fI?is=ZUZPZ5fkErcYroJg

Radical commitment is the master key btw

My Vajra Consort and I have just published the first video in our Logos and Dharma project. This video introduces the central concerns of our work and spiritual praxis: rekindling genuine initiation and cultivating a culture of awakening in the West. We believe this is possible through a clear and lucid understanding of the perennial phenomenology of awakening, forged by studying, practicing, and synthesizing the teachings of Platonic, Tantric, and other Non-Dual contemplative schools of gnosis and liberation — re-seen and authentically embodied through contemporary scientific lenses and lived ways of life. Such a rekindling could awaken a new renaissance in the West, which, like the rest of the modern world, has long languished under a crisis of meaning--"the Death of God". From this renaissance, new philosophies, religions, and scientific fields may emerge. In time, new sociopolitical possibilities may open beyond the fixed ideological categories and modes of being that have constrained contemporary human life. History offers us real precedents for this task. The European peoples have, on several occasions, reinvented themselves by reinterpreting Hellenic philosophy and sacred symbolism. And there was once a moment, in Hellenistic times, when the Hellenic and Western spirit synthesized harmoniously with the Dharma: the Greco-Buddhism of Gandhara, the Indo-Greek Kingdom, and the Kushan Empire. What was possible then is possible again. Our work centers on what is called the "West" because this is our immediate heritage and social surroundings, but it is ultimately ecumenical in scope, embracing the interconnected ecological, inter-cultural, and sentient life on this small planet, our shared home in the vastness of the cosmos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eo_BCH5etbc

Mood for the day

Mama sent this. About to get it tatted, full back piece

On a mundane level, America is my home. My home is where my family is. I was born here, my father was born here, my father’s father, and his father before him and so on since around 1740. We all want our families to be free, prosperous, and happy. It’s obvious and easy to say, but how does one go about achieving these ends? When you are strong, you are free. When you are excellent, you are prosperous. And when you’re prosperous, you can move towards greater and greater heights. America has been all of these things because of my family and the countless other American families that live here. Those who are descended from the brave souls who crossed the Atlantic Ocean on planks of wood for one reason or another. This pioneering spirit, which comes from our blood, exalted what came to be known as the United States of America. This Promethean Fire that burns in our hearts is what took us to the moon, and it is what will win us our future. It will take us beyond this continent, these oceans, this world. The political entity of the United States of America is a Final Destination. It represents a New World Order in which humanity embarks on the ultimate endeavor. It cannot and will not happen anywhere else. The United States is the cradle for a race of supermen which will rebel against every existing order and system. A nation forged in blood by frontiersmen, soldiers, and religious fanatics… it’s a helluva combination. On the mundane level, America to me is my Family and My Home. On another level, it represents a philosophical and technological culmination of humanity.
