One day I was given a peculiar task by a teacher of mine, a man I love deeply who's now dead. So at this juncture, I thought, well, all right, I've now earned my right to just get the regular red plastic spherical buckets.

This is the case, for example, with Hermetic literature, which is a particular source of study and of personal importance to me. But Cleopatra was, by and large, deeply loved by the Egyptian population because she was dedicated to the revival of the ancient…

A key idea that appears in the Hermetic literature, and I ask you to listen to this very, very carefully, is that all of creation, everything that is, emanates from the thought forms of a great infinite overmind, known in Greek as nous. Newton translated the…

as we were beings created by mind or by psyche, which I see as a compact of thought and emotion, so must we create, so are we able to create through the concretizing effects of our own psyches. and I think people who feel that constant gnawing sense of…

For many, many years, I worked in spiritual publishing. the afterword to this book which appeared for the very first time in the edition that I was privileged to publish was by a conservative cardinal named Hans Urs von Balthasar who was appointed by Pope…

I have to say the following, and this is something that we must be very careful of within our culture. I am an enormous admirer of, and have written a lot on a modern book of hermetic philosophy called the Cabalion, which some of you may have heard of.

I am asking you to give yourself a break, just for the time being, from the how and from the practicality and from the perceived judgments of other people, and they're always there, and just allow yourself within, within the exquisite privacy of your own…

the person who has been the single greatest source of inspiration to me is a figure some of you know named Neville Goddard. Neville, I came to feel many, many years ago, and I feel all the more today, is the most beautiful mystical analog to quantum…

reality existing in a state of superposition or a wave is localized only by measurement of an observer. What did they do for work?

There exists within quantum physics the phenomenon of retrocausality, particles that are mathematically shown to actually move backwards in time, one of which is called the positron. Wikipedia can't contain this.

want to give you to wrap up a four -step program of experimentation with these ideas. Try to understand setback as a goad, a goad to something higher.

Yes, please Oh, I think there are real signs yeah Yeah. And we might call them coincidences or synchronicities.

This week, a teacher that is also here is also teaching from the Hermetic Principles. So you're talking about using perseverance and I can't remember what the other of your four words.

I came across a book years ago attributed to Hermes Trismegistus it's called the Divine Pymander And I never fully understood the word and just wondered if you might shed a brief light. And in that book, there is a Hermetic pilgrim who's awakened from a…

You mentioned something about concentric circles, and you talked about the seeker's group, but you're talking about an individual wish. I think the group is the uniquely important vehicle of our time.

I've seen a lot of books written lately that come out and they're largely AI or you know there's a lot of just everything coming out right now so I'm curious what's the next big topic that you're looking to think or write about like what's your next big…
