jeremy narby - cosmic serpent

nice descriptions of ayahuasca hallucinations and currents in anthropology (structuralism, poststructuralism, eliade).

the truly /x/-fringe part comes when the author argues that that shamans can communicate with nature by modifying their perception with hallucinogen drugs and establishing contact with plants or animals, enabled by DNA. he believes that DNA was put on earth by some kind of demiurge and that this is more probable than panspermia hypothesis.

Holy shit, thanks for linking that. It was one of the most interesting books I have read in a long time… so much so that I think I will need to let it digest and then read it again.

Hitler banned Freemasonry, put Freemasons in concentration camps, had the SS and Gestapo raid their lodges throughout Europe, produced several anti-Masonic movies (one of them the quite enjoyable, semi-fictional feature length French-language film Occult Forces), reprinted their books for the German public to read and publicly displayed all their stupid ass ritual objects and other treasures in anti-masonic exhibitions.

Here's the English version of a book published by the SS, called "Freemasonry - Ideology, Organisation, and Policy"

In fact, most of the actual knowledge we have of the Illuminati comes from writings confiscated from Freemason lodges by the National Socialists, most notably the Schwedenkiste.

>>3348

yeah, i also dont believe it. but i find it an interesting speculation and the things you mentioned are still contingent with a what-if scenario. for example masonic fat cats like Carlo Schmid were left alone, their remnants werent completely purged from administrative functions.

Thanks, I've compressed Out of this world. To at least to have an emergency copy on 8ch.

>Stated most simply, this is a study of two understandings of what it means to exist in time: the archaic or traditional and the modern. According to Eliade man has traditionally sought to conform his actions in time to primordial or mythic actions performed by gods or heroes in the beginning of time. By conforming his actions to those performed in the beginning or as Eliade puts it "in illo tempore", traditional man gives significance to those actions. He saves his life in time from the terrors of meaninglessness. Modern man on the other hand, has lost or rejected the archetypical world, the world of eternity. He sees nothing beyond the world of time.

>Modern man, according to Eliade is "historical man." Rather than seeking to transcend history, he "consciously and voluntarily creates history." He is "the man who is in so far as he makes himself, within history."

I remember someone talking about a book about Canaan and the jews, but it seemed pretty fringe when I've heard it.

Do you guys know something about this? It had Canaan in the tile, that I'm sure of.

>The Cosmic Question

>Also published as The Eighth Tower

—————————————-

An eminent British ufologist remarked that there are only four books essential reading for students of the phenomena: Charles Fort’s collected works, Passport to Magonia and the two Keel books. This selection might be a little Spartan but it accurately sums up the importance of John Keel’s contribution to the literature.

John Keel uncovers a universe of mystery incomprehensible in its complexity. At the same time he demonstrates that this is tied up, often in a ludicrously mundane manner, with normal people. A mystery that is possibly cosmic in extent yet as much a part of human life as the telephone, Cadillac, or even, so help us potato peelings in which it manifests itself. It would be trite to say that Keel knocks over the ETH. He challenges the framework of ufology as we know it, and poses the problem of what happens now. The evidence in the book, quite apart from the conclusions he arrives at, destroys ufology as we know it. To study the phenomenon as it is revealed in OTH and then to consider ourselves ufologists, is rather like attempting to study marine ecology and admitting we are only tadpole hunters. John Keel has liberated ufology. Are ufologists capable of liberating themselves?
