A Six-Week Autumn Magic Course and Collective Ritual, bringing Magick into the 21st century
w/ Layman Pascal & Rachel Hayden
What is the occult? And how can a deeper understanding of its theory and practices help us to grow in power and wisdom? Individually we need to become more complex (and simpler), wealthier in every sense, and infused with a greater force of intention in all aspects of our lives. Collectively, we need to enhance the well-being of those we love and also spread new ideas, patterns, and moods into a planetary civilization that is wavering between implosion and transformation. Real growth requires more than just aspiration and meditation. We must contact, unfold and empower hidden parts of ourselves. We need to get better at “magic.” More info here: https://www.parallax-media.com/courses/sexdeathoccult
Course: Gurdjieff’s Christianity (With Luke Behncke)
SATURDAYS OCTOBER 5/12/19 2024
In this course, it is hoped that you will develop a deeper understanding of the history and teachings of the Fourth Way and its critical relationship to Christianity on Gurdjieff’s own terms, free from the superficial and often agenda-driven interpretations of post-modern or meta-modern intellectuals and celebrity philosophers. The critical questions to be explored concerning the spiritual evolution of human life, both collectively and personally, as Gurdjieff saw it, stretching from the deep past to beyond the reach of the distant future, may offer a different perspective on your own life and its possibilities.
The Parallax View #137: I’m dreaming of waking up
We are back. With some hot takes on US-politics. And behold: We leave no stone unturned, no perspective unuttered. We deciphered the code of the political spectrum. Nothing left to say now. Amen.
