Mark Passio closes his all-day De-Mystifying The Occult seminar with a two-part descent into the secret language of symbols — first, the dark occult iconography baked into National Reconnaissance Office mission patches, and then a luminous decoding that marries the Tarot Major Arcana to the Tree of Life of Kabbalah. It is a demand to stop sleeping: to recognize the hidden religion running beneath intelligence and government, and to recover the wordless esoteric map of self-transformation that the same symbols also contain.

All right everyone welcome back after dinner. I hope your dinner break was enjoyable.
I’m going to move into the last two sections for the seminar this evening and
if time permits we’ll do a question and answer session afterward. I’ll try to move through these
rather swiftly. There’s not too much material left like I said two sections. I’m going to break down
some of the dark occult symbolism in National Reconnaissance Office or NRO
launch mission patches and I think after I show you these patches you’ll agree
that there are forces at work in government and in these intelligence
offices that most certainly have a bizarre religion and a bizarre sense of
what symbolism they find attractive let’s say so again the NRO is the office
that has the least amount of employees working for them officially and the largest intelligence
budget allocated to that department.
Let’s start looking at some of their symbolism in their mission patches.
So this is one of their patches that essentially contains of course the all-seeing eye.
Now what you’re going to see here also is constant images of these symbols floating
above or over the Earth.
And you’ll see stars as well.
Now, this four part, these four stars,
people have suggested the four,
and you’ll see a six star configuration as well
with five and one.
Some people have suggested that this represents
different areas from which these satellites
were worked on and maybe launched.
You know, there’s an area in the Groom Lake facility
called area 4 or S4 you know four stars here could indicate that I’m not saying
it definitely does but you’ll see some patches with you know five stars
together and then one offset and people think that that means area 51 but this
uh this patch which is their fleet operation patch that’s what FLT ops
stands for. The Latin insignia underneath it, nos, no, una, nos, abeo, una, means we
float together or we swim together, but you know in this connotation it means
you know we swim together in the sky or in space, okay, and we depart together. So
nos, no, una means we float or swim together in Latin, and then nos,
abeya una means we depart together meaning we arrive together as a flotilla
and we leave or depart together as a flotilla now my take on this is you know
how many people have seen these so called UFO fleets you know we don’t know
what these things are if you’ve ever seen the videos they certainly float
together and when they leave they leave together you know I’m not saying that’s
definitely what this is a reference to but it kind of does make you think what
kind of very exotic if not otherworldly technologies these people are working on
and are putting in our skies. This is one of the most blatantly dark occult and
satanic patches I’ve ever seen from the symbolism and Latin insignia that is on
it. Again you see the four stars. You’ll see that over and over again. More likely
than not representing S4. If I had to take a best guesstimate I would say
that’s what those four stars represent although I could be incorrect about that.
Now, you see the all-seeing eye in the pyramid, okay, and then the NRO patch designation, the mission designation.
Now, we saw what the all-seeing eye represented.
It represents God, divinity, okay, the light of the creator,
and, of course, the pyramid, the stone representing the block to that light.
Now, what makes this satanic is the fact that the rocket carrying the payload or the mission satellite
is getting ready to fly over the top of the all-seeing eye in its trajectory now
that in and of itself would not be so sinister but what makes it sinister is
the Latin term supra sumus I know that’s a little bit difficult to see on this
screen hopefully people can see that it’s s-u-p-r-a s-u-m-m-u-s supra sumus
in latin that means get ready for this higher than the most high okay higher than the most high
in other words we’re higher than god because we’re putting these satellites in such a high orbit it
sees everything that’s going on on the earth you know we look at ourselves as the all-seeing eye
we’re higher than god now to me they can’t get any more blasphemous or blatant than that but you know
you’ll see how far they go. Here’s one, their mission launch was number 32, XXXII in Roman
numerals. Of course, that is the last level of Freemasonry before what is known as Illuminized
or Illuminated Freemasonry, representing levels 33 and above. The 32 to 33 degrees in Freemasonry
represents the difference between frozen water and flowing water, ice or liquid water. You know,
The heat of the sun or the light melts water at 33 degrees and changes it from ice into
flowing liquid water.
What I wanted to point out here is the blatantly bird-like or reptilian eye symbolism.
That’s definitely not a human eye in this iconography.
We’re talking about something that has scales over top of it toward the right-hand side,
for sure.
People want to say, oh, the all-seeing eye on the back of the dollar bill is reptilian.
That’s from the type of pattern that that engraving system that that was originally
cut with or engraved with, the pattern that it takes on.
It represents a human eye, a human styled eye.
This clearly is not a human styled eye and has very bird-like or possibly serpent-like
connotation to it.
Again, I’m going to follow themes with these where, you know,
we’re looking at all-seeing-eye symbolism within these mission patches.
Here’s one, Anuit Coeptus.
Again, the all-seeing-eye very clearly portrayed.
Again, you have the number four inside the triangle at the bottom.
The number four or four stars comes up over and over and over again in these patches.
Again, N-R-O-L stands for National Reconnaissance Office Launch, number 32.
Again, there’s that 32 number as well.
Here’s some owl symbolism contained in National Reconnaissance patch from 2000 and the phrase
we own the night clearly with a reference to being able to see in the dark or surveil
in the dark.
Okay, we’re going to go through some that have blatantly satanic overtones to them as
far as Luciferian symbolism or blatant satanic symbolism.
So this is launch number 49, clearly with a demon or fallen angel form in it that they
have named Betty here, and it’s obscuring the sun with its wing, holding some kind of
a trident and a wrench in the other hand, with its hair on fire and a serpent-like snake
going around its body.
Then you see the earth partly occulted by shadow, and underneath it, it says primoris
gravis ex ocasis which means in Latin first and important from the fall is the
best that I can translate that or first and grave or heavy or important from the
fall now what that means is obviously very occulted now I couldn’t tell you
what this mission is ultimately about but clearly there’s blatant satanic
symbolism in it and the earth is in shadow. And akasis could also mean
sunset. So you see the sun being obscured. If you look at that as, if you turn that
and look at it as hills and the sun going behind it, it could be construed as a
sunset. And you see the shadow of the earth, you know, representing the, you know,
the line between light and darkness as the sun sets or rises. So akasis could
mean the fall clearly resonating with fallen angel symbolism but it could also
mean sunset or the obscuration or occultation of light so very clear
satanic overtones or luciferian overtones there here’s one NROL 66
National Reconnaissance Office launch 66 get your kicks on 66 with a clear
representation of, you know, the Baal figure, the bull, you know, representation
of Satan. Again, that’s what these Moloch ceremonies usually were dedicated to the
bull god, Molech. So that’s a depiction of Molech, if there ever was one, as far
as I’m concerned. Here’s one with the Egyptian god of the underworld, Anubis,
depicted, looking very sinister with red eyes and, you know, fangs and, you know,
tongue out and the blatant phallic symbol of the uh you know the the missile coming up from the
earth yep here’s more blatant satanic symbolism pan standing for ostensibly palladium at night
but pan of course is another uh demon uh figure in a certain um uh you know pagan mythology
so here’s another one representing the phoenix and it says or and flames you know clearly
you know satanic or diabolical overtones there the the phrase melior diabolos
means better the devil you know in other words you know you’d rather have us doing this
than somehow the devil you don’t know going out there and doing this so you know we have
your interests in mind. You know, you better trust us. Better the devil you know with the
American flag behind the phoenix. Here’s one that is a clear reference to dark occultists not
wanting anybody to get involved in their business. It’s a blatant warning or threat. And this is
special projects of the NRO with a dragon coming out of the clouds shooting lightning bolts down.
You’ll see a repeated imagery of dragons, lightning bolts pointed at or down at the earth
and the Latin insignia at the top says procul este profani, which means away with the profane.
The profane are not welcome here, in other words, okay? Away with the profane. They’re telling
people if you’re not on the inner circle, if you’re not in the esoteric circle, if you’re not
with us, with the initiates, the sorcerers who do this type of hidden covert science work, then you
are one of the profane and your eyes are not welcome here you know for people who
want to look into the connections of you know NASA and the occult or you know
space agencies in the United States in general in the occult I mean it’s a
rabbit hole I mean you could study that for a lifetime in and of itself how many
you know dark magicians are involved were involved in different of space
agencies and they’re clearly telling you who they are and telling you you’re not
welcome here’s more so this section is all about dragons you know a dragon is a
symbol of power authority knowledge hidden knowledge especially and this one
you have the dragon holding the entire planet surrounding the entire planet you
know as if he’s either you know it’s his child or perhaps he’s getting ready to
eat it but it says omnis vestri substructio as service ad nobis and this
This is a very broken Latin phrase.
It’s not really structured properly in Latin deliberately.
I’ll tell you what it means in a moment, but I just want to point out there’s that five
and one star configuration that I talked about that some people have suggested represents
area 5-1 or 51.
Again, May Day is a big occult satanic holiday known as Walpurgisnacht, or Beltane.
It means bell’s wheel, the beginning of the, or the midpoint of the spring season, I should say,
where sacrifice in the form of blood sacrifice was traditionally offered toward the sun and the earth
in order to ensure bountiful spring growth, so there would be a bountiful harvest in the reaping season.
So, omnis vestri substructio est servus ad nobis means, all your base are belong to us.
Now, for people who may know what that means, there’s a reason it’s in that very improper grammar.
It’s a reference to a big internet meme that was going around in the early 2000s, I believe,
where some video game manufacturer from Japan had put out this video game with
all kinds of grammatical errors in English where they didn’t even you know
check the grammar and they put out you know this this game that had laughably
bad English in it and one of the phrases that the mission commander the evil
mission commander says to the good guys is all your base are belong to us
meaning you know we’re gonna take all your bases now but they didn’t get the
translation right in the game in the video game so they were kind of playing
on this this theme saying all your base are belong to us because clearly what
this probably is is a reconnaissance mission to send satellites up to
penetrate into underground bunkers or underground bases and they’re basically
saying you have nowhere to hide here’s another dragon holding the earth this is
repeated theme throughout. He’s got a diamond in his tail and of course he’s
an American dragon. He has the American flag as his wings, you know. This is a
wonderful American symbolism, don’t you think? I mean, you know, that’s
American through and through there. Here’s more snakes curled around the
earth, you know, serpent symbolism. Again, you see this repeated theme of four
stars and then one. Here’s, you know, four stars over here and then two. Not quite
sure what the stars really represent there, but clearly you have more reptilian symbolism
surrounding the Earth. The Latin phrase, numquam ante, numquam iterum, means never before and
never again. And again, I can’t tell you what that means. It’s obviously inside knowledge
regarding whatever this particular mission or launch was about. The Information Assurance
office works closely with the NRO. They call themselves the defenders of the domain. You
know, this concept of knighthood as if it’s something that was so valiant when really
what the knights were were the protectors of the king’s land, you know, basically reinforcing
feudalism. And what they’re doing is they’re showing you we’re constructing the world grid,
you know, where there’s total surveillance all the time. And that’s the earth in a cage.
I mean, the symbol right there is the earth inside of a cage.
And these people think they’re somehow creating or defending freedom, you know.
Oh, they’re defenders of the domain of slavery, all right.
They’re defenders of the domain of feudalism, for sure.
Here’s some blatant alien symbolism, and I would say demonic symbolism.
I’ve broken down how, I’ve broken down in my occult mockery presentation
how the Air Force logo is actually a demon’s face.
I mean, if you look at it, you know, the eyes, you have the brows, the horns going up, the nose coming down, and then the mouth looking very sinister.
You know, I can see it very clearly.
I don’t know how people who revere this symbol cannot see that that’s a demon’s face.
And if I had to make a best guesstimate, that’s the demon known as Chort.
In every depiction I’ve ever seen of Chort portrayed, that’s his face.
You know, I could be wrong about that, but it certainly looks like it to me.
Then you have the typical alien gray with the huge almond black eyes, almond-shaped black eyes, no nose, no mouth to speak of, and large head, the typical alien gray.
The phrase underneath says,
Oderent dum metuant, which means, let them hate as long as they fear.
I mean, is that like something, you know, that depicts American values?
I believe that is a phrase first uttered by the Roman emperor Caligula, if I’m not mistaken.
So that’s a statement by Caligula.
Oderet dum metuent meant let them hate as long as they fear.
They can hate me as long as they fear me.
It’s like saying, you know, we’re in control.
We know we’re in control.
You can hate it all you want as long as you’re afraid.
It’s blatant posturing.
You know, it’s up in your face as far as I’m concerned.
And what is the reference, what is the direct connection to these alien greys, is what I want to know.
I mean, you know, why is this on a United States mission patch, a grey alien face?
People don’t think there’s anything weird to that.
They’re just playing games, they’re just having some fun and, you know, putting some stuff that they don’t really believe in on their patches, that’s all.
You know, yeah.
Here’s another alien grey eating a B-2 bomber.
And I say eating because I know what the phrase means underneath.
This is a classified flight test number 509.
I do not know what those trident symbols are in the background.
And it has something that looks like a male symbol on the B-2 bomber there,
but it doesn’t have the arrow.
It’s not a feminine symbol.
It’s like an O with a little, you know, kind of protrusion coming out of it.
But the alien seems to be devouring this B-2 bomber, and Gustas Simulus Poulos means tastes like chicken.
So I guess that’s a reference to the alien’s taste of the B-2 bomber.
I mean, they get weirder and weirder, folks, you know?
I mean, it’s perfectly normal, well psychologically adjusted people working in this office, clearly, with pure American values.
This is the most recent one. Launch 39 happened, or it might not be the most recent, but it’s a very recent one. This went off in 2013. An octopus, basically devouring the earth with its tentacles all over the earth. And it says, nothing is beyond our reach. I don’t know how much more blatant you want to get.
I mean you know they’re telling you we I mean this is this is Cthulhu like in its
scope you know the macrobes you know of Lovecraftian visage here you know just
holding the earth in its grip you know I don’t personally think anybody who sees
this as super sinister is making any kind of a big deal about it I think it
speaks for itself I mean if you can’t see that that they’re sinister overtones
to that you know big huge Cthulhu like demon octopus entity devouring the earth
you know and that’s what they are I mean they’re really telling you what they’re
doing as far as I’m concerned here’s more alien or demonic or shadow people
symbolism with this chevron shape that keeps appearing over and over again 23d
space operations semper vigilance which means always watching or always watchful
now I’m gonna move into some of these mission patches that deal with clearly
occultic imagery clearly wizard imagery you know certain subdivisions of the
the people within the NRO actually refer to themselves as the wizards I have
heard okay through people who have studied some of this uh um you know uh space aspects to the
control system a little bit more they have put forward that there’s you know certain special
mission teams within these organizations that refer to themselves as the wizards or the sorcerers
because they have the highest level inside knowledge about what the actual purpose of
these missions are, whereas everybody else is on a need-to-know basis. So they’re the inner circle
of the inner circle, you might say. And in this case, it’s the flight test squadron. You see a,
like a sword, a sorcerer’s sword there. It’s the sorcerer sending a lightning bolt down
to the mountains. He’s in some kind of a chevron-shaped craft. He’s holding that O-shaped
thing with the little protrusion coming out of it. You know, I can’t tell you what that is,
because I don’t know.
And, you know, he’s casting some kind of a spell in there.
You see that star configuration once again,
the five and the one repeated again.
And, you know, if anybody sees anything that I don’t,
I’m welcome to interpretations.
Email me or, you know, just get a hold of me afterward
and, you know, tell me what you thought or what you saw.
If I missed something or didn’t touch on something, that’s fine.
Please do bring it to my attention.
Here’s more wizard symbology.
This whole section will deal with wizards and sorcerers.
They don’t have anything to do with the occult, these people.
Don’t worry about it, folks. It’s completely innocent. These people are not occultists. They’re not dark occultists. They’re not involved in this in any way.
He’s again holding some type of a scepter presiding over the earth. Again, there’s that lightning bolt. You have the craft sending some kind of a satellite into orbit.
one star over the wizard’s hat. I don’t know what the letter CW represent, but the Latin
translation of arcana imperii is imperial secret knowledge or secret knowledge of the
empire. Because we have an empire, right? This is an empire. It wasn’t intended to be
a republic. We’re an empire. And we have the secret knowledge of the empire is what they’re
telling you. They’re the wizards who have the secret knowledge of how these covert sciences
really work. Here’s more wizard, electric wizard symbology, I guess you could call this.
Over and over again, lightning bolts pointed at the earth. This is all about, I feel, scalar
technology and the ability to create energy systems at will. It’s a perverted application
of some of Tesla’s patents and technologies and higher level sciences that he was working
on to bring forward for the betterment of humanity.
And then these dark, sick, psychopathic sorcerers took all that and employed it for destructive
purposes and control purposes, as they always do.
That’s all they can do, is take somebody else’s work and pervert it.
So here’s one other one.
The same motif once again, clearly depicted, the Seperator shooting the lightning bolt
down at the earth with the orb in his other hand.
There’s more blatantly wizard, dark wizard iconography here.
I’m not sure what they’re getting at, what that object going into that ball is.
It could be wormhole symbolism for all I know.
Your guess is probably as good as mine.
Yeah, they’re assessing the future all right.
They’re assessing the future for total takeover and slavery.
And then they get purely dark.
Don’t ask because it’s none of your effing business, but maybe this had something to
do with the moon.
the crescent moon on there and then the question mark they’re not even going to give you any hints
or symbolism and uh you know then it gets even worse than that because then there’s just the
blank one you know that says see ego certiorum fuck fuck he um me he to the lengus eris i guess
my latin pronunciation is not too shabby it might not be perfect but that means if i made you aware
you would have to be destroyed by me or I would have to kill you so if I told
you about what this is about I would have to kill you that’s what that loosely
translates to and there’s nothing in the middle of the patch yeah a great group
of guys you’d probably want to hang out with they’re clearly very mentally
balanced okay so look in that section for all I have to say is if anybody
Nobody looking at the occult symbology of those patches doesn’t understand that at the
highest levels of intelligence and government in this country, you have people who are involved
in a sick religion.
I don’t know what to tell you.
They’re telling you.
I don’t need to say a word.
They’re telling you right there.
This is the last section for today, and if time allows, I will take some questions at
the end.
I just want to briefly mention, we do have a raffle that we were running.
There’s three prizes that I’m going to be giving out at the end.
So if people want to make any last minute raffle tickets, Barb has them at the desk.
I’ll take a little bit of time after the finish of the lecture and then we will hold a raffle
drawing.
We’ll do three prizes.
One prize will be a DVD of your choice.
One prize will be a t-shirt and one prize will be a combination, a t-shirt and a DVD
of your choice.
Those will be the three prizes for the raffle.
So I just wanted to mention that.
I apologize for forgetting to mention that at the beginning of this section like I was
supposed to.
But the tarot’s major arcana, the self and the universe revealed in symbol.
And I’m going to do this in a very simple way.
But I’m going to try to wrap, to tie together a few different occult traditions in this section.
Namely, the tarot and Kabbalah.
And help people to understand how occult traditions cannot really be studied in isolation.
They have to be studied with respect to each other.
This is critically important when it comes to how these traditions cross over,
how their symbolism all interrelates with each other.
And I think if you really understand how I’m going to lay this out,
some people will have seen me do this in my own podcast,
but I’m going to lay it out in a little bit nicer of a way for this presentation.
If you can really understand the correlations between these symbols,
this section is so powerful.
When I understood this, when I studied the tarot in conjunction with the Kabbalah deeply enough to make this connection with the help of some other occultists and researchers, it’s like it was beyond an epiphany.
It was beyond an aha moment.
It was like, you know, it was beyond getting chills up your spine.
It was, you know, it was like the top of my head completely blew off, you know.
Epiphany is an understatement when it comes to it because you realize how
powerfully interconnected the people that made these systems were with this
knowledge. These symbolic systems that are intended to teach
wordlessly through symbol and allegory. The people who came up with them were
beyond brilliant and hopefully I can get people to see that and it will spark
some of your own personal study on your own in these traditions.
So we broke down the, in a rudimentary way,
we broke down the Kabbalistic tree of life earlier.
Remember, it represents different aspects of human consciousness.
And the whole goal of the Kabbalah was to teach a moral lesson.
It was to teach how we could bring ourselves into harmony
with the higher consciousness and in harmony with natural law.
and in order to do that we have to develop the desire to get out of the
base consciousness Malkuth as it is known kingdom okay and we have to first
develop that desire which comes up from the sacrum chakra you know that sexual
union energy of you know the desire to better oneself and transform oneself and
and then develop the willpower to care enough to transform ourselves,
help the process of transformation in others, acquire the understanding of natural law principles,
and then put those to work in our life through our actions.
When we do that, that’s when we are truly communing with divine consciousness
or with unity consciousness, the top level of the tree of life, Keter.
Again, we talked about the correspondence to the Vedic system of chakras and how these
systems kind of like had some interplay with their symbolism.
What I want to do here today is show you how the tarot must be studied in conjunction with
the Qabbalistic Tree of Life.
They’re inseparable.
They go together and can’t be studied in isolation from each other if they’re to be truly understood.
Now, how many spheres are on the tree of life?
Ten. Ten major sefirot, right?
The sphere called da’at was not one of the sefirot.
It was considered in the Kabbalistic tradition the place from which the tree grows or the origin of the tree.
It is the essence of the tree, and it represents knowledge.
The word da’at in Hebrew means knowledge.
So if we look at that as the essence of one of the trees in Kabbalah, we have
really two trees of life. There’s a macrocosmic tree and a microcosmic tree.
These two trees are talked about in biblical symbolism in the book of
Revelation, alright, and what they really represent is the macrocosmic tree
of the qualities of the self and then the macrocosmic tree of the qualities of
nature of the universe so what I did right here is I took the first 11 cards
of the major arcana and I dealt them in a very specific progression on to the
kabbalistic tree of life we’re going to do the same for the second 11 cards with
the macro cosmic tree of life all right so 22 cards in the major arcana 11 11
There’s another very spiritual number, a very significant, um, synchronistic and
synchronistic number, 1111.
How many people, just, just off the cuff, uh, you know, just, uh, you know, on a whim
here, how many people have personal experience or personal synchronicity with the number
1111 by a show of hands?
Okay, that’s maybe a third of the room.
1111 is known as the light workers call what it means is if you’re seeing this
over and over and over again let me tell you something when I was starting to
wake up I saw 1111 so much it was like so haunting that I was tired of seeing
it it was it was so bizarre at some point was just like oh yeah again really
non-stop non-stop what I feel it means is that if you’re receiving that it
means you’re at a level of development already that you need to go forward and
you need to communicate the information that you already know. You’re one of the
people who, I don’t even want to use the word chosen or selected, that’s not the
right word. You have an aptitude for the gift of teaching in some form or fashion
and therefore this repeating number is getting in your head and it’s getting in
your face and it’s saying start to do the work. At least that’s what it was for
That was my experience with the number. And there’s a general consensus, you know,
in the analysis of this meme going around, an analysis of this experience, if
you will, of 11-11. The reason I’m bringing it up is because 11-11 is
symbolically encoded in this breakdown that I’m putting forward. We’re using 11
cards, the first half of the Major Arcana in the microcosmic tree, and then the
second 11 cards in the macrocosmic tree. Now, how I have dealt them is simply in
that order that we talked about of the spheres, the Sephiroth’s numbered system.
At the top where you have Malkuth, that’s one. Then you move to the right side,
that’s two. Then to the left side, that’s three. Then you move down a notch, that’s
four. And then to the other side, that’s five. Then to the center, Tiferet, the
green card there that’s six then down to the yellow level on the right that’s
seven the yellow level on the left that’s eight the middle orange card
there represented by the Hermit that’s nine and then finally ten at the wheel
of fortune okay so that’s that remember that Kabbalistic lightning bolt the
thunderstruck tree all right that pattern of one through ten going like
this all right now in the dot position I have put the card the fool the fool is
in the dot position what is the first body of knowledge in the occult it’s the
knowledge of self it’s the knowledge of the human psyche and how it operates
that’s the dot position the knowledge of self this is the self card but it’s
properly understood, it’s not the Fool card, it’s the Soul card. Okay, that’s an actual phonetic
and written English letter variant, how it became the Fool, if you even look into the history of
this card. It was not originally the Fool card, it was originally the Soul card. And then through
phonetic variants and, you know, mistransliterations, it became over time the Fool, and that got ran
with it got ran with that in the imagery you know the being going off into the
land of incarnation without much knowledge and you know without a whole
lot of baggage to back him up taking a leap of faith coming into this world
trying to make any change happen here that’s certainly a fool’s errand isn’t
it but um you know not to be dissuaded from that work this is also a leap of
faith and an act of will that he’s going to go into that realm and survive it and
created change because it’s not just him being in a naive state it’s him also
being in a trusting state with the light at his back you know the light has his
back the Sun it’s the Sun card you know the zero card it’s the no thing it’s the
pure essence of spirit or the spark of the divine amazing symbolism and just
contained in that one card I could give a whole lecture just on that one card
but you know we’re putting him in the dot position because this tree is about
the knowledge of self as the microcosmic layer of knowledge in the occult okay so
then we’re going to look at all ten of the cards but backwards from ten to one
this is the fool’s journey the fool’s journey from darkness and ignorance at
the bottom of the tree in Malkuth in world worldly earthbound identification
all the way up to the position of self mastery as the magician or the Magi at
at the crown level of Keter, on the Tree of Life.
So here we go with the journey of the soul, the journey of the self, the fool’s journey.
And there I’m showing where the fool is at, at the Daat position.
Now we’re going to start at Malkuth.
Let’s go down to Malkuth, the bottom of the Tree of Life, at the Wheel of Fortune, card number 10.
The Wheel of Fortune represents pure earth identification.
it represents not really having knowledge. That’s why you’re on the wheel. It’s the wheel of karma.
When we are in ignorance, we are subject. We’re not in a state of self-mastery. We are subjects.
We are ruled by the forces. We are ruled by the base instincts, the base passions.
Okay, so staying at this level of earthly identification and base identification and
you know, base instinct, instinctual feeding, will keep us on the wheel of karma. We’re not going to
grow and learn and progress. What gets us out of this earthbound identification is desire. And I
don’t mean just desire to want things in an egoic way. I’m talking about the desire for more, the
desire for betterment within the self, okay? The desire for self-knowledge, the desire to know
one’s self and then to know also about the realm in which we operate the natural world and its laws
so when we make that decision to develop that desire for truth for light for knowledge that’s
where the hermit comes in the hermit card represents the desire for knowledge so he’s not
in a state of knowledge he’s not the purified being in the white robe he has gray robes on
he’s humbled he knows that he doesn’t know he knows how much he still has to
learn and he’s lighting the lamp to go off in search of knowledge and
understanding and wisdom that again has been the color I’ve used to direct this
whole you know presentation for today because this is supposed to be about
wedding someone’s appetite to help to spark within that the individual the
desire for greater knowledge the desire for more knowledge about the occult and
and what it really contains
and how it can really help to transform oneself.
So that’s what we have to aspire as a species to become.
Then we could start making progress out of Malkuth.
And there’s desire within a good number of people.
You know, like I said, if I thought it was hopeless, folks,
I wouldn’t say a word.
It can still be done, even at this late hour.
It’s a matter of will we do it, you know?
So let’s move to the next card at the eight position.
And this would be, we would be at the solar plexus chakra level on the tree of life at this point.
Again, this is a dualistic chakra.
This is a dualistic level of the tree of life.
There is, on the feminine pillar, which is depicted on the left side of the Kabbalistic tree,
there’s the internal qualities of the self.
And on the right-hand side, there’s externalized qualities.
so you have to look at that pillar going up and down the left-hand side those
three cards that’s known as the pillar of severity but in kabbalistic terms
what that pillar represents is internal qualities it can represent darkness as
well if you look at it from a certain perspective that which is not readily
seen which is on the inside that you have to penetrate a little bit deeper to
see or to find and then these three cards on the right-hand pillar the
pillar of mercy are the more masculine or active properties of the self as
we’ll see okay so at this level this is the courage or strength card and the two
aspects of will there’s an internal quality which is courage right you
courage is developed within then you have to do something in the external
world to bring courage into manifestation to act upon it and then we
go to the next level and we see that’s the chariot which represents will in the
tarot so you had the one card with the woman holding the lion’s mouth open
fearlessly which represents courage okay that’s an internal feminine quality now
you have the masculine quality of getting things done in the real world
the will to act all right so these are both the solar plexus will Center but
dualistic aspects of it one is an internal aspect a feminine aspect and one is a external or
masculinized aspect all right we’re going to move up to the um tiferet card which is the heart
chakra tiferet is beauty and again there we have the symbol of the heart the lovers
the symbolism is so consistent it’s so consistent when you learn this arrangement of cards
The people who developed the tarot deck clearly studied it in conjunction with the ancient
Hebraic systems, Kabbalah, and even older systems.
And these cards clearly were around long before even those traditions because they came out
of the ancient Chameleon tradition, as many researchers, not the least of which was Michael
Tesarion, has done a lot of work to establish and end that debate, hopefully.
Now, you know, the generative principle is depicted here, the union of the male and female.
You know, it’s not just about sexual union.
We’re talking about unifying the masculine and feminine aspects of self such that we develop true care, the generative principle.
And again, that is the lover’s card depicted right in the middle of the tree of life.
this position, the Tiferet position on the tree, every card is connected to. Every card has direct
path, line of sight to the Tiferet card because that’s the central focus of the tree. The
generative principle, the heart is at the core of everything. What we care about enough to do in
our life or to put into manifestation in our life is actually what gets done and gets manifested.
And that’s why it’s called the generative or creative principle. Let’s move up another level
and we are at the Severity Sephirot, Geberah.
The Hierophant is there.
Now, this card is placed on the Pillar of Severity.
It’s at the sphere called Severity, Geberah.
And this card represents working with the self,
actually motivating yourself to change.
And that’s why it’s called Severity.
It’s like the parts of yourself you have to whip into shape.
the parts of yourself you don’t want to be kind to because you want to change and those qualities
you should want to change the dark aspects within us that we need to work upon that’s what this card
represents getting in and working with that’s why it’s the pope it represents internal religion
getting the reins over those dark aspects of the self it’s this is a card representing self-control
You know, religion is one of the control systems, but true religion can be a motivating force if we’re guiding our actions toward truth, if the religion is about truth.
So this is about self-control. This is about reeling in the aspects of the self that we need to reel in.
When we move to the mercy sephirot, sephirah, which is chesed, we see that in that position we have the emperor card.
And again, this is the twin aspect to religion.
We have the state now, the emperor.
So you have religion and you have government.
Now, this card represents mercy, okay?
This is about how are you going to influence other people around you?
The one, the other side of this, again, we’re at the throat chakra now.
So this is all about the voice, right?
What kind of internal voice do you work with within yourself?
The dialogue that’s going on within you, okay?
You know, what are you, are you telling yourself?
How are you motivating yourself through your internal dialogue to change?
That’s what the severity card was about, the hierophant.
Now, we’re at the mercy card.
We’re turning that external to the self.
This is the masculine side of the tree of life where we’re saying, how do you influence
others in the world?
Once you’ve arrived at a certain level of knowledge and understanding and care, how
How do you work with other people to help them to manifest change in their own lives?
And that’s why the emperor is the symbol of state because it’s the thing that does influence
quote, unquote, control toward others.
I’m not saying that means you want to go out and try to control everybody else, but it’s
the symbol of external influence, let’s call it, whereas the hierophant or pope is the
symbol of internal influence upon oneself.
I hope that’s clear and makes sense to people.
We’re coming up now to the next chakra, which is the third eye chakra, representing true
intelligence.
So we have a feminine aspect to that and a masculine aspect to that on the two sides
of the tree respectively.
The empress is at the top of the feminine side of the microcosmic or soul tree of life,
the personal aspects of the tree of life.
This is the bina sephirah, and bina means understanding.
is an internal quality, as we talked about.
You know, it’s what goes on within yourself.
You take in the knowledge, you process it through mental processes, and then you come
to a level of understanding internally.
So this is the feminine aspect of understanding, which is an internal process, and you could
also look at that as a right brain or sacred feminine quality.
The high priestess, while of course depicting the goddess, in this case the goddess Isis,
is a feminine figure on the card.
This card represents the top of the masculine pillar on the tree of life as an active quality.
The goddess represented wisdom, and you see her between the two pillars, similar in Freemasonry,
Boaz and Joaquin, or Joaquin.
And of course these are corollaries to the Pillar of Severity and the Pillar of Mercy
in the Kabbalistic tree as well.
So again, Freemasonry, Tarot, Kabbalah, they all have to be studied in conjunction with
each other.
They are not separate sciences.
They’re really, again, many paths to the same destination.
It’s a different way of explaining correspondences and knowledge, but you get to the same end
result.
the High Priestess card is actually wisdom. This card represents wisdom. Now, wisdom is not an
internal quality. Wisdom, as we talked about, is what we do with what we know. It’s an active
process. It’s taking action based upon what you have come to understand. And again, you had that
to get there, folks, the lightning bolt goes, if we look at this blue level, okay, the lightning
bolt goes diagonally up left to right past self-knowledge see that’s knowledge in the middle
the white card the fool card as the dot card so you have knowledge then at the the top rung you
have understanding and wisdom what what are the the trivium processes knowledge understanding and
wisdom dot bina hokma knowledge understanding and wisdom are actually the top triangle of
the tree of life before you get to the crown, which is self-mastery, which is sovereignty
under the creator, true self-government. So again, this high priestess card, sacred feminine
iconography on the card, she’s holding the law, Torah, in between the two pillars as the balance
point. And she represents wisdom ultimately, which is a masculine quality regarding action,
what we do with what we know and when we put what we have the knowledge that we
have taken into ourself and come to understand into practice that’s when we
are putting wisdom into our lives and into the world and that’s when we move
toward the highest level of consciousness self mastery sovereignty
true self respect true self love actively being being involved as a
magician in this world the magician is the one who stands between the realms
who stands between the worlds you know again he has his head in the cosmos but
his feet on the ground he is an anchoring point he is a bridge he’s
bridging the light of the Creator down to the world which is why he has the
scepter of power connected to the higher realm but he’s pointing at the earth and
he has all he’s mastered all the forces of nature the wand the sword the the cup
and the Pentacles earth air water and fire the four elements again okay so
So this card represents self-mastery from total ignorance and base identification at
Malkuth coming up through all those other characteristics of the self on the personal
journey on the microcosmic tree to the highest level to Keter or the crown chakra which represents
total self-mastery.
The allegory is perfect.
By show of hands, how many people besides in my podcast series have seen this arrangement
of cards in tarot by a show of hands?
One person, anybody else?
Two, two people, okay?
Three, okay, three people in the room.
To me this shows, and not in any way trying to make this
any kind of a harsh statement, but it shows
people don’t have in-depth knowledge of how these systems
interrelate with each other and how they fit together.
And I’m sure people who are completely unfamiliar
with the occult and completely unfamiliar with my work
Really never heard of any part of this or ever even seen any interpretations of these cards.
Again, I’m not telling you these are the only interpretations that can be given,
but look at how well the symbolism relates with the concepts of the tree of life and the spheres upon it.
It’s a perfect allegory as far as I’m concerned.
And very, very, very few people study the tarot in this way.
They don’t combine it with the Kabbalistic tradition, and they don’t see the powerful transformative aspects that that symbolism can play practically in your life if you really deeply, richly understand the symbolism.
So I just hope that this kind of conveys this in a way that’s readily understood.
I hope it did anyway.
I’m going to move to the Macro Cosmic Tree of Life and we’re going to see how that arrangement
of the second 11 cards of the Major Arcana of the Tarot tell us all about the forces
at work in nature.
And it’ll also tell us about the two ways that a civilization can go.
So let’s look at that.
So here I’ve built the Macro Cosmic Tree of Life from the second 11 cards of the Major
Arcana of the Tarot deck.
So I’m starting with card number 11, which is the Justice card, which is the most important card in the entire tarot deck as far as I’m concerned.
Card number 11. We’ll get to why that is.
And then I’m moving with the Lightning Bolt pattern throughout the tree all the way down to card number 20.
So really all we’ve done here is, you know, we’re adding 10.
We started at 1 before and went to 10.
Now every card there is the next, you know, 10 numbers up.
So 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20.
Card number 21, the last card of the tarot,
because it starts at zero and it goes through card number 21.
It’s not 1 through 22. It’s 0 through 21.
21 is a very sacred number. It represents the tripling of seven.
That is the number that represents man coming into union with the divine,
coming into God-like consciousness, not being God, but coming into a level of consciousness that embodies the divine
and embodies the epitome of spiritual essence or spiritual nature while still being in flesh,
while still being incarnate in the physical realm.
So in the dot position, again because the second realm of knowledge in the occult is what?
the realm of the macrocosmic laws the laws that govern the universe both in the seen realm meaning
the physical laws the physical sciences and in the unseen realm meaning the spiritual laws or in
other words natural law so in the dot position we have now the world or in some decks the universe
okay so we had the soul card in the dot position on the microcosmic tree and now we have the
universe or the world in the dot position, the position of knowledge in
the macrocosmic tree. Perfectly consistent. Alright, so I hope people are
understanding here. I’m not looking for relationships or, you know, trying to
bridge anything. You know, it’s so consistent when you lay it out this way.
It’s readily seeable. This is not something I’m stretching for, is what I’m
trying to get at here. It should be readily be able to be seen by anybody
who can make these simple correspondences so you know we have the forces of nature the lion the man
the bull and the eagle you know the the four cardinal points of the zodiac the four cardinal
directions you have the um the gospel writers they were depicted as the forces of nature earth air
water and fire etc you can go on and on with what those represent again you have that symbol of
purity and innocence in the middle of the image holding the two scepters, you
know, very similar to how we started in a state of ignorance and moved up to a
state of self-knowledge. But it was, there was this purity and innocence card in
the middle in the dot position represented by the Fool card in the
microcosmic tree. And there’s the position of the World card on the
macrocosmic tree. Again, that is not at one of the sefirot positions, but it is
at the dot or knowledge position. So let’s start the journey of the understanding of the forces
at nature, the forces at work in nature. So in the Malkuth position of kingdom, the lowest level
base identified consciousness, you have the card called judgment represented by the angel of
revelation blowing the trumpet, a call to awakening. This is a clarion call to awaken.
We are being called up out of our slumber.
We are being called up out of earthly base identification and ego identification to a higher level of understanding.
Some people will answer that call.
Some will not.
Some will be resurrected.
Some will stay dead.
okay so if they do indeed resurrect through desire for light desire for knowledge desire for truth
then they will come out of those tombs if not they will stay in the realm of judgment which is
just like you could be the hermit and come out of that realm represented by the wheel of fortune
seeming chance fate the checkered life of man the floor of the house and free masonry
You know, you can come up in the microcosmic tree to the hermit through desire, through personal desire for knowledge, or you can stay in Malkuth, which represented, you know, the wheel of fortune.
Well, this is the same thing on a macrocosmic scale.
The universe, the will of creation is calling us, calling all species up to a higher level of evolutionary progression out of that base realm, and we can respond to that call or not.
Those who are gifted with the capacity for holistic intelligence have the ability to choose whether they will come out of that ego-identified state or not.
That’s free will.
I would say this card represents free will in and of itself.
I would say this is the free will card of the tarot deck because it’s giving us a choice whether we will receive truth or not.
See, this is a card about reception.
Again, the theme here is reception.
The theme of the day is reception, reception of truth, reception of knowledge.
The word Kabbalah means reception.
It means proper reception, the proper way to receive, the proper way to open up one’s mind and heart,
you know, to the knowledge of the cosmos, to the knowledge of the self,
a beautiful tradition when properly understood and used properly.
This I consider the free will card of the deck.
It’s saying you have free will to transform yourself or to stay deadened.
And if we move forward, I would say going up to the next level, again, one of the most important cards in the deck, and again, the orange card.
Another theme throughout the day here, this orange color, representing desire, representing choice.
This is a card that I feel represents choice.
The card represents the light, knowledge, truth, the sun.
Again, we saw all of that in the symbolism section.
That card is the truth card.
What’s the light that’s calling us up from that Malkuth position that the
angels blowing the trumpet for behind her head? It’s the light. It’s the sun. It’s
truth. This is the truth card of the deck, but it also represents a choice because
the paths converge from that point. And yes, you could still see we’re gonna make
our way up in the lightning bolt progression to get to the top of the
tree, but the microcosmic tree is slightly different than the… I’m sorry,
The macrocosmic tree is slightly different than the microcosmic one because this card
represents a choice point.
Will you receive truth?
Will a civilization receive truth or not?
That’s what this card is the choice point for.
It’s the truth card and it’s the choice of whether we will receive truth or not.
Now remember, there’s the path of severity to the left and the path of mercy to the right.
In this arrangement, I do feel that there is a negative connotation on the left hand
path and a positive connotation on the right hand path as we will see when I further break
this down.
The left hand path going from this point forward represents the rejection of truth.
The right hand path up the tree represents the acceptance of truth.
The middle pillar represents the choice point that we have to either receive or not receive,
receive or not receive truth.
And then the middle card there, as we will see at the Tiferet position, means the care
to change, ultimately.
That’s the change card, all right?
So if we decide to not receive truth, to reject truth, we go to this position, okay?
So this is the moon, which again symbolically represented in Freemasonry that darkness side.
You can look at it as a piece of feminine symbolism as well, but in this connotation
it means night, darkness.
These creatures here in the traditional interpretation of this card, it means ignorance.
This has traditionally represented ignorance in the breakdown of the symbology of the moon
card.
And I would suggest that’s what it means here in this position.
It means we have not chosen to receive the truth.
Conversely on the active side of the tree, the pillar of mercy, the star card represents
all of the other lights of the heavens that are suns.
And as such, this is the alchemy card.
represents that we have decided to accept truth into our lives and integrate it when we move up
to the next layer we’re at the heart chakra now and again look folks that or that yellow
level is that yellow level represents will okay we’re making a decision in will in our guts
whether to accept truth or not so that ignorance card is a willful position it’s a it’s taking
a willful position when people reject truth that’s a willful act and when people accept truth that’s
a willful act so that totally correlates to the solar plexus chakra the will center but now we’re
moving up to the heart chakra again a unity chakra right the heart the generative principle what
ultimately drives change the generative principle is what creates change in our lives and in the
the whole society so this is the change card and this card itself is neither
negative or positive it simply represents change often sudden change
because once truth is either accepted or rejected sudden change follows and I
think the choice point that you know this symbolically really represents I
think 9-11 was one of the defining hallmarks of our time and the rejection
of that truth I think has set humanity off onto the left-hand path you know we
We have to care enough to bring it back to that point of accepting truth and maybe we
can get up the other side, up to the middle at the top at some point.
But the symbolism of 9-11 here is actually very overt actually.
The thunderstruck tower, sudden change could be for the good, could be for the bad.
Either way, change is coming.
The universe abhors a vacuum and abhors stagnation.
Change is always happening.
Now we’re moving up to the next level, the throat chakra.
Again, you have severity here.
What follows the rejection of truth as you go up that left-hand side?
Self-imposed slavery under dark forces.
This is where humanity is at.
That’s where we’re at now because of the level of truth that we’ve rejected.
And I always point out, as do other researchers who have deeply studied the symbolism of these
cards, the chains are self-imposed.
They’re loose around their neck, they could take them off at any time.
He’s not holding them there with tight chains.
Those chains could be easily slipped off over the head.
They want to stay in their chains because they want to remain in their ignorance.
Truth has been presented, it is there, and they’ve rejected it.
And therefore they’re ruled, they’re owned.
So that’s the devil card.
Conversely, the other side of the tree represents what could happen if we make the other choice.
If we accept the truth of creation in the form of the light of the sun and we start
to go up the right hand pillar, this is the pillar of mercy, the middle of it, the mercy
card, the temperance card, then we’re on the road to sovereignty, the road to the crown.
Everything is flowing.
The being is becoming enlightened.
This is the freedom card of the tarot, whereas the devil card is the slavery card.
So we have the call to awakening and free will at the bottom.
We have truth, the sun card.
We have the rejection of truth, the moon card.
We have the acceptance of truth, the star card.
We have change, rapid onset of change, the tower card.
We have the slavery card, the devil card.
And now we have the card that represents freedom societally.
Once we have accepted truth, we can have that state of consciousness, freedom.
We move through the knowledge card, which is the at the dot position, the world, the
knowledge of natural law, the knowledge of the universe, and we get to the final expression
of the pillar of severity, death, extinction, stagnation, entropy.
This is what ultimately results, the foiling of the evolutionary process.
That’s what happens when we go up the left-hand path of rejection of truth and slavery, ultimately
leading to death, extinction, and undifferentiated chaos at some point.
This is the entropy card of the tarot deck.
That’s the force that this card ultimately represents, the death card.
And you’re seeing he’s mowing down all the institutions.
No one is safe.
Everyone is going to go.
This is the cataclysm card.
Like we talked about in the theosophy section, eventually nature abhors when we continually
reject truth and pollute ourselves and the world, and eventually it comes and cleans
house.
It’s the weeding process that can happen and will happen should we not change.
So that’s the entropy card.
Now we go to the opposite side, the active side of the tree of life.
And this is the centripy card, the ordering force.
The hanged man is not a negative card.
It’s probably one of the most powerful and positive pieces of symbolism in the deck.
This is the enlightened man who is doing the true will.
I would call this the true will card.
That’s the initiate.
That’s having accepted the truth, having gone forward and worked to create freedom.
And now this is the true evolution of consciousness.
That’s what this force represents.
The ordering principle.
The evolution of consciousness at the top of the pillar of mercy.
This is the evolution card.
This is what I would call the centripy card.
The force that counteracts the force of entropy and chaos.
This is the order card of the deck.
Such powerful allegories rolled into all of this symbolism.
I mean, the people who put these systems together,
all I’m doing here is providing an interpretation.
Imagine the level of consciousness of the people who built these systems
of symbolism and allegory and interconnection between them.
You know, we’re talking about a whole other level.
And then we get to the highest force in creation,
the force that governs it all, natural law, justice,
The king on his throne that can never be unthroned, can never be dethroned.
This is the force of truth and will and freedom and love and evolution and law in nature.
It’s the will of God card, you could call it.
It’s the boundary conditions of the creator card.
again in my natural law seminar i put this card forward as the card of the tarot deck which
represents natural law itself because that is what it is this is what the dark occult
wants to dethrone and usurp the position of they want to be god they want to be the law
Ultimately, that is the most important card of the entire tarot deck because it is the law card itself.
And the understanding of natural law is ultimately the only thing that can resurrect this species and put us onto a new path.
That is what the dark occultists don’t want us to understand, which is why I have always referred to the knowledge of natural law as the most occulted knowledge on the earth.
And I’ll end this presentation the same way I ended last year here in Connecticut by saying the law is king and can never be dethroned from its proper place at the crown, at the highest level of creation and the highest level of authority in the universe.
This is the only authority that exists in the universe, natural law.
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for your kind attention today.
That Latin phrase there, lex rex, simply means the law is king.
We’ll open up the floor to some questions, and I’ll take a couple of questions,
then we’ll take a little bit of a pause, and we’ll do the raffle drawing.
If we can turn on the lights, because I don’t think I need the slides anymore from this point forward,
so I can see the audience a little bit, that would be great.
Great. Yes, first question, go right ahead.
Speak up really loud because we don’t have a microphone to help other people to hear.
So really project your voice as much as possible.
It’s actually not a question.
It’s a strong suggestion.
Okay.
The symbol, you know, the dash.
Yes.
Whatever it appears to be fighting.
Okay.
The normal devil’s pitchfork is a sonic.
Mm-hmm.
It’s a proof for some I.O.
Interesting.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That could also look, it also looks somewhat similar to the Greek-esque character as well.
Yeah.
The sigma.
Yes.
Can you comment on the Thoth deck by Aleister Crowley?
Oh, it’s a great deck.
Could it be used in the same way that you’ve talked about?
Sure. Yes, it can.
Even though he switched some of the cards?
He switched two of the cards.
This is called the 8-11 reversal in the tarot.
For people who have studied it, a lot of people don’t really understand it or know about it.
I tried to figure out what it was about until I understood this arrangement of cards.
I didn’t grasp why Crowley did that.
He was basically putting courage as the highest force that the universe rewards in nature.
I don’t look at that as an acceptable reversal personally,
which is why, while I like the symbolism of the Thoth deck and some of the other Golden Dawn decks,
I do not agree with the reversal of taking the Justice card,
which represents natural law, down from the 11 position at the top of the Macrocosmic Tree of Life.
That’s a reversal that takes natural law down from its position of authority at the top of the universal tree, which shouldn’t be done.
I do understand why certain magicians looked at that reversal as a good reversal,
because they felt that courage was dead in humanity, and that courage needed to be crowned the king.
It’s like in the Wizard of Oz, my Wizard of Oz presentation, I talked about this reversal,
because the cowardly lion is crowned king in the Wizard of Oz
because they’re saying only when we crown courage as the king of humanity
is anything going to change here.
It’s the only thing that could really get us into alignment with natural law.
Courage. Courage is one of the big factors that you can’t create in anybody else.
It’s an internal quality that can only be created by the self.
So that’s why they did that reversal.
reversal. I like the kind of idea behind also putting the courage card in the high position
because it’s this idea that nature will come to our aid if we are bold and courageous.
I love that idea, personally. I talk about it all the time. But I still don’t agree with
the reversal of those cards. I do understand why they did it, but I personally would never
make that reversal because you can’t move that card from its position.
What is the card?
and 11. Card 8 and 11 are reversed. So this is card 8. Justice is card 8 in the Thoth deck and
Courage is card 11 in the Thoth deck because he’s trying to put Courage on this tree. It doesn’t
belong on that tree. It belongs on the will position. I believe it is the hold position
on the microcosmic tree.
He has moved it to position 11,
which is Keter on the macrocosmic tree.
It’s, like I said, it’s a reversal that I understand,
but I do not agree with.
Yes?
Hey, Mark. Thanks.
Thank you.
And this is all your work.
Cool. Right. Cool.
Power through like I did the 360.
Right.
I’m going to provide some background material
and go through some ancient writings
that alluded to this stuff in future presentations oh yeah yeah yeah what’s
what’s going on here on the earth as a result yeah yeah sure sure mm-hmm yeah I
don’t look at it as a personal force I look at it as an underlying intelligence
in nature that is the life essence that underlies everything and gives motion to
everything. The all, yeah, it’s an acceptable way. I look at it as law, quite honestly.
And not to say I don’t think it has any aspect of care to it, I’m not saying that, but it’s
something that is just a unifying force, you know, within everything. That’s what I look
at it as. I don’t look at it as a man, a being, a woman. It’s a force of intelligence that
drives everything forward. It wants evolutionary development. It wants growth
for itself. The whole, the all. And that’s what we’re all part of. There’s nothing,
there’s nothing else. Know the self. Know the self. That’s it. Everything comes
down to those two words. You know, that, that was the mysteries. Know the self and
you know the universe. That’s what the universe is trying to do. That’s it. It’s
all about understanding, gaining through experience, having an experience in a
differentiated state I would not because I would say it’s not necessary to get to
that level of chaos those lessons can be learned without going through those
extremes of suffering it’s like it’s like what we’re doing is we’re punishing
ourselves when we have so much potential we don’t need to do it because we’re a
self-loathing species and we’re stuck in this rut of believing that we’re we
don’t have the worthiness to transform this condition and it’s unnecessary it’s
like I like the phrase I like this spiritual teaching evil is only
necessary until we recognize that evil isn’t necessary that’s it yes sure he
has some great stuff on the Rosicrucian tradition as well case it would help I
mean you know you could you could get into the study of the language and what
the Sephiroth, you know, have traditionally been used to represent and
you can gain a good understanding of it from that. Do I think it’s absolutely
necessary? It’s like, you know, this is a system of correspondences. That’s what
has to be really understand the most when it comes to any occult symbolic
system. Somebody else’s interpretations of the spheres on the tree might be
slightly different than mine and that doesn’t mean that they would be wrong or
that I would be wrong because they disagreed with some of my
interpretations you know it’s a way of inter relating information and
corresponding ideas and you know if we look at those fears how I laid them out
today in conjunction with these cards I think you could see the clear overlap
and the clear correspondence sure that too yep right so what I say it’s
absolutely necessary I wouldn’t make that statement but I would say it
wouldn’t hurt and you know to study you know other languages and other
traditions is always a plus so I think it would it would be a good complement
to the study of Kabbalah definitely yeah yes it’s the root of all the romance
languages and that means that it’s ultimately one of the biggest
etymological roots of the English language as well so just a lot of
English words come from that and probably one of the easiest ways or the
more unified ways to say something in English but not use English so to make
it kind of esoteric to do it most people traditionally use Latin to do that it’s
kind of just an agreed-upon thing especially in the West so I wouldn’t say
there’s any specific or magical or mystical significance to it I would just
say you know since so much of a percentage of the English language comes
from Latin in its origins that’s where a lot of the people who are involved in
esoterics have decided they’re gonna you know they’re gonna use that language to
write something that they would not rather write in mundane terms. That’s my interpretation of it
anyway. I don’t think it has any other deeper significance than that. Yes?
The macrocosmic tree of life, that’s governed by natural law. My interpretation of that would be
natural cycles. So do you think that we can avoid the catabolic cycle that’s represented by death
in that macrocosmic path?
Yes, I do.
Like I said, I wouldn’t be saying anything
if I didn’t think it was avoidable.
That doesn’t mean that it will be avoided.
Again, can and will are two completely,
drastically different things.
Can it be done?
Yes, even at the place where we’re at now,
it can be done.
Will we choose to do that work?
That’s not up to me.
I don’t have that answer.
But if I didn’t think it was possible
I wouldn’t be here in this room trying to say a word to anybody. I’d be at home, you know, saying, well, it’s all done. It’s all over. I don’t think we’re at that point yet, but are we approaching it? If we’re not careful, we’re approaching that point. Like I said, at some point, nature says enough and no further. You know, it only takes the kind of abuse and rejection that we’re dishing at it for so long. Yes.
I would love to see the swastika reclaimed any race or as much as possible mitigate the memory
that has been attributed to that symbol through the Nazis um I think we should reverse it back
around to its original configuration not in the SS you know configuration but in the uh you know
uh uh the the like two two configuration the backwards configuration of it and help people
to understand that this was an ancient symbol that represented the sun the path of the sun
that represented knowledge enlightenment good fortune good will toward other humans good will
toward other beings in general and in the vedic tradition when it was used as such and even in
in the Native American traditions when they used it,
this was a symbol of hope.
And I feel it should be completely reclaimed.
But people should do it in a way
where they really explain how it was used before,
explain how they are re-reversing it,
that it was reversed by the dark occult orders,
that, you know, the dark occult Teutonic orders
that came in pre-World War II Germany
and essentially took that culture over
and then work through dark occult forces
to bring Nazism into that region of the world.
And they should explain how that happened
through the occult and they should explain
what this symbol originally meant and how it was pillaged.
And then hopefully people can quote unquote take that back.
I’d love to see it happen.
Are there too many people who are closed minded
to allow that to happen and just see symbols
in a totally unit dimensional sense?
Maybe, but I’d personally like to see it happen.
I’m all for that.
Yes.
So 11.
How much time?
7.30, we’re up at 7.30 now.
Okay, I’ll do like maybe five or so more questions
because I want to preserve my voice a little bit.
It’s already feeling a little bit rough.
But then if you want to make an announcement
regarding where we might want to meet up
or continue discussion afterward,
if anybody wants to go, you know.
Oh, the raffle too, right.
I want to take three more questions after this gentleman.
So you and then three more, then we’ll do the raffle
and then we’ll probably have to break after that.
So go ahead, continue.
So 11-11 being a really positive quantitative number,
is there an inverse to that that’s basically a,
hey, you were going right,
but you made a mistake, turn around?
I haven’t seen a synchronistic number
that kind of put that forward.
Maybe 9-11, maybe the number 9-11, you know?
If I had to pick one number that maybe,
if you’ve seen and seen a lot,
that may be trying to tell you
you’re not on the right path,
My guess would be something that is equivalent to 92, 911.
Because, you know, that’s the number of failure of will.
The number of will is 93 in the occult.
Yes, sure, yup, right, right, yes.
I think I really know what you mean
because I went through the same process
and these same feelings.
My best advice to you is don’t wait too long.
Don’t wait too long.
I’m not telling you if you feel like
you’re not really ready to just immediately do it.
Prepare yourself and then get out there and do your best.
I feel like I waited too long.
You know how long I sat on a lot of this stuff
that I’ve known for a long time and didn’t say a word
until somebody put a foot in my ass.
And I kind of beat myself up over it
for thinking back on it and saying,
why did I wait this long to do this?
so right I would say don’t look at it in terms of minimum action look at it in
terms of best level of effective effectiveness from where your skill set
is at that’s my advice I would say target what you know the best what
you’re the best with as far as material goes and then use the skills that you’re the best with
to target that information to whatever audience you’re going to put it forward toward
and i would say don’t wait too long but i would also say don’t rush it either but um don’t fall
into the habit of second guessing yourself and waiting too long if you feel you’re knowledgeable
on something share it i’ll do two more questions yes thank you for having the courage to do it
Thank you.
My question is, having a deep knowledge of this information, these esoteric, dark occultists,
would they actually be slaying themselves through this?
I will answer this by telling you direct knowledge of the mindset of some of the dark occultists,
namely Satanists, that I worked with in my past.
Their worldview is such that the laws of nature that govern moral or immoral behavior in their mindset, in their worldview, means that the whole universe is a prison to them.
That is their worldview.
This is the dark occult worldview.
Anybody that thinks that the entire system of nature is a prison thinks like a dark occultist.
I do not have that worldview.
That’s a poisonous worldview.
The laws of nature are not here to enslave us.
Because I live under the laws of nature, I am not a slave.
I am a sovereign being operating in the unity of nature, period, under the laws of the Creator.
That’s a positive worldview as far as I’m concerned.
That’s an accurate worldview as far as I’m concerned.
Here’s their worldview.
The laws of nature are in place.
We know this.
Therefore, we also know we cannot do whatever we want without consequence to ourselves.
We hate this.
We reject this. We will not live under this law, okay? We are going to turn that law on its head
by getting other people largely to do our dark work for us as order followers. As such, they
will take the brunt of the natural law effect or karmic effect of the actions, the behaviors that
are taken. We will largely be insulated from that karmic consequence because we didn’t actually take
the actions and they’re correct i you know there’s another reason one of the main reasons people hate
my work some people who hate it really hate it is because i tell them the dark occultists are not
going to have the level of karmic debt and the brunt of karmic consequence that an average order
follower will the average ignorant order follower who is a no nothing house slave who doesn’t care
All he cares about is a paycheck. All he cares about is pushing people around to make his
Absolute low self-esteem, you know prop it up and make himself seem like some kind of a badass. Okay, it’s gonna take
infinitely more consequence from the universe than a
Sorcerer who completely knows how he’s manipulating that beings consciousness like a puppet on a string
Yet does not actually lift the finger to physically perform a harmful action to another living human being and I’m telling you
that’s unequivocally true.
And people hate me for saying it.
Now, the problem is most people are willing
to help them get their work done in ignorance.
And their worldview is very similar to their worldview.
Everything’s dark, everything’s bad.
People are bad by nature, you know?
And what the dark occultists think is this is a prison,
Earth is a prison, the universe is a prison.
Well, we got our little corner of the prison
where we’re gonna be the gang thugs of.
We’re gonna rule in hell instead of serve in heaven.
That’s the whole satanic slash dark Luciferian ideology
in a nutshell.
If you understand their worldview and how they think,
you understand they don’t care about having
any kind of karmic consequence done unto them.
They wanna have life extension technology,
so they push that off as far as it can be pushed off.
And again, they’re trying to assuage,
to dissuade the brunt of that karmic impact
by getting other people to do their work
for them physically.
One more question.
Yes.
One question for you.
I’m gonna deal with taking act.
One of the big things that you did for taking act
is sharing a lot of knowledge.
However, the opposing force in this universe
actually uses physical force, physical violence
to impose that act.
That’s right.
Is your stance that we should just be sharing knowledge
to basically defend ourselves against that
Or should we actually use physical force when the time comes to actually counteract that?
Let me tell you something.
Anybody who isn’t a very heavily armed human being is a stupid human being.
That’s all I have to say.
I’m a well-armed person.
You know, I’m not a pacifist by any stretch of the human imagination.
I think pacifism is the most deplorable ideology on the face of the earth.
You don’t take action, right?
If you have knowledge that sovereignty is the truth of creation,
That is, it is the truth of your being.
What good is that knowledge if you’re not willing to defend that sovereignty when it
comes under physical violence by another person, you know?
You have the right to defend yourself with physical force, which is non-violent.
The defense through the usage of physical force is not the application of violence.
Sorry, it’s not the same thing.
Anybody that thinks that is wrong, is wrong, they are incorrect, you know?
So I’m not telling everybody pull a trigger at the drop of a hat either.
I think exercising the level of tolerance to teach this to as many people who are willing
to listen is the first step.
But hey, teaching wasn’t going to dissuade the Nazis from doing their horrors.
It wasn’t going to change the minds of the secret police of the Soviet Union.
wasn’t going to happen that way. At some point, I would advocate for physical pushback. Like I
said, I’m not a pacifist. I think people try to portray somebody like Gandhi as being some kind
of a prop propped up on a pedestal figure because he advocated nonviolent resistance. Gandhi didn’t
get it done. Jesus Christ didn’t get it done. We’re still in slavery, folks. It’s not done yet.
You know, I’m not saying don’t learn from those figures either, okay, but Gandhi once said, and this is what a lot of people who, you know, take his ideology as, you know, in support of a pacifist ideology said at some point in his life, you know, if we had guns to resist, it would probably be a good idea to employ them, but we don’t have them.
They let them take them all.
They let the British Empire take all their weaponry.
It’s the same thing.
This is something I’m going to also hammer on on my work in the future.
I’m going to be getting more deeply into gun rights than I have before in the past.
I’m going to really try to emphasize the importance of what the Second Amendment was intended
to be.
I’m not a constitutionalist either.
I think all government is an illusion, all government is a coercive system.
But the concepts contained in the Bill of Rights, some of them, I think, are embodying
natural law principles, particularly the Second Amendment.
Just follow on with it.
Don’t you feel that if we go too far pushing the knowledge without taking, like, an affirmative
action, actually kicking back the force that’s hitting us, like flattening the base, we’re
actually going down?
Okay.
Great.
We’ll do the raffle in one minute.
I’ll just answer this brief question.
This is one of the reasons I don’t really too much support protests.
Because people come to protests with no teeth.
And the cops bring violent weapons.
I’m not interested in that.
When you want to protest where you’re going to back up your right to speak with teeth,
I’ll be there.
But if you’re not, I don’t want any part of it.
So when people understand, you need to say, I have not only a right to speak, but I have
a right to stop you from stopping me from speaking we’ll be making progress
beings don’t have the right to stop you from free assembly and speech which are
natural inherent rights so when we want to you know put a protest together with
teeth then I’ll be at that who knows we’re gonna do our we’re gonna do our
raffle so let’s bring up the tickets and I’ll announce the winners I’ll pull the
I’m going to draw the first prize, okay, we have a couple people, look, I’ll wait one
more minute, anybody who wants tickets, get them now from Barb, bring the tickets up here,
throw them in the bag, I’ll make the drawing.
