  • KLF

    It amazes me that I seem to be the only person who realizes that the KLF (JAMMs) only existed for FIVE YEARS.

    How can people know of their connection to Illuminatus and all that and not note that they operated for 2+3 years?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 46: Mariana Pinzón – Octomantic Neuro-Hacking
Q: Can you summarize how the Eight-Circuit Brain Model integrates with the Eight Colors of Chaos in your work?
The model maps inner neural circuits to corresponding color-based magic practices, creating a practical framework where cognitive states (circuits) are linked to distinct rituals and learning paths. This correlation helps people navigate and amplify intelligence across circuits one through eight.
Episode 49: Vincent Murphy
Q: Tell me about language as a tool and its broader implications beyond everyday communication.
Language is a cognitive technology that shapes how we think, organize information, and structure culture; it can be wielded as a tool, weapon, or instrument for social change, and its power emerges most clearly when we recognize and engage with taboo words and their historical charge.
Episode 52: Nick Tharcher Occult Publishing
Q: Any lessons learned over the years?
Yes. The occult publishing world is full of colorful, often difficult personalities and organizations, but the core lessons are practical: present a clean, well-supported manuscript with proper biographical and contextual information; beware arrogance and false novelty claims; and focus on enduring works rather than chasing short-term sales spikes.
Episode 37: Gregory Peters on the Divine Feminine
Q: Could you unpack the concept of primordial currents of initiation?
It refers to ancient traditions that have influenced modern spiritual practices and their interconnectedness throughout history.
Episode 37: Gregory Peters on the Divine Feminine
Q: Can you speak to the connection between the divine feminine and nature?
Yes, nature has a nurturing side, but also a destructive aspect, illustrating the duality present in the divine feminine.
