My new series Pivot Points will be starting soon. The first episode will be an examination of the 1970s decade of the serial, including Son of Sam, and Satanic films, the transition from '60s idealism to all-out hedonism, and explorations of what that might all mean in a reality of infinitely complex layers of information hiding behind the dense manifestations we live immersed in.

Reading this book after coming back from an overseas deployment in which I had a spiritual experience, I had one of the most profound experiences of my life while reading P.M.H. Atwater's Near-Death Experiences.

The Sunset Limited drove me into three days of existential despair. My buddy's text this morning changed all that.

Old wisdom tied into new insights.

John Michael Greer is an author, astrologer, druid, and esoteric philosopher. Today we discuss his upcoming book The Twilight of Pluto and the connection between the planets and human consciousness.

Greetings, friends.

My guest today is author, astrologer, and druid John Michael Greer. Today we discuss his recently released book, The Twilight of Pluto, which has a singularly fascinating thesis and a singularly intriguing way of making sense of our modern madness.

The Twilight of Pluto is as interesting a book as I’ve read in a long time—and I read a lot of books.
It has singlehandedly inspired me to delve more deeply into astrology, specifically mundane astrology, which I find far more interesting than the usual horoscope and birth chart kind of stuff. Perhaps that’s because my personal time of birth has been lost to the dust bin of history, rendering me incapable of getting a proper birth chart done.

Really, though, I think I’m just a big picture guy who digs big picture perspectives. So, mundane astrology is the way for me.

One can never be quite certain what to expect when talking to professional druids, astrologers, and occultists. They are by nature outsiders—or heretics, as Greer likes to say that. Outsiders are my tribe, so there’s no problem there, but working in the weird sphere I’ve noticed a great deal of egomaniacs in these fringe spiritual spaces. That probably makes sense, really, because only people with strong senses of self are willing or capable of living outside the herd.

With Greer, though, that wasn’t an issue. He’s a down-to-Earth, humble, practical guy who is relaxed and fun to talk with. Where I come from, we’d call him a “good dude.”

I enjoyed the conversation immensely and hope that it wakes a lot of people up to Greer’s utterly fascinating thesis and perspective on our current chaotic times.

So, with no further ado, here is John Michael Greer discussing his recent work, The Twilight of Pluto.

Meet the new thought, same as the old thought. Miguel Conner of Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio explains how simulation theory is a new way of conceiving Gnosticism and how Gnosticism/Simulation Theory can bridge the gap between scientism and deism.

Jean Dubuis was a French esotericist and alchemist who passed away in 2010. His book The Experience of Eternity is powerfully predictive of the madness of 2020 to 2022, and he offered some great wisdom.
