This channel is definitely riding that Narthex vibe that I’m glad to see. Branching out to see the pattern in all beautiful thought and bringing the branches back into the trunk of unity within the Logos.
Reading texts is also a great way to share on this platform without the obvious danger falling into the worship of our own thoughts, and it’s a much needed form of information since there’s really nothing new under the sun, just new ways of presenting eternal thought. Thank you for the body of work you’ve produced.
That's a beautiful comment. Thank you 🙏
Excellent, thanks for doing this ❤
I think you are on the right track if you have just gotten to Rudolf. He revealed a lot of truths to me this past two years from his teachings. Keep up the great work.
Steiner's thoughts on St. Michael brings one full circle to the figure of St. George, the Christian warrior. What Michael does in the Cosmos St. George does as a man. St. George is ennobled by defending a virgin damsel, who represents the church, the bride of Christ. It is the relationship with Christ, God incarnate, that must be protected, done so in humility. St. Michael's name says it all: "who is like God?"
🙏
Great Stuff!
I got into Rudolf a few years back and found so many overlaps that make sense to me, and some beautiful unfolding in my life.

Your vids go hard 😤💯
It was a lecture given not written
I’ve always thought evolution and monkeys to people was stupid. I think the idea of “elves” is very much on purpose as is giants and the idea that men were huge back before the flood and lived for 1000s of years not just the Bible says that all the myths say that stuff! It’s okay to have a magical view of the world.
I think pagaue talking about a “descent of the mountain” and subtle jabs at Evo very much matches a being hierarchy like in folk stories, conspiracies, mythology’s, are pointing to people literally descending into body rather than the other way around
Even the hardcore atheists and skeptics drift into ideas of divine aliens blah blah fallen angels good narrative
Trithemius as one of the initiates to point out, and he was writing in the 1400s, that in 1879 the Age of Michael was to begin, and thus the spirits of darkness were banished, or "fell" to Earth. To be this detailed about the year is so interesting and the idea was shared by many including Paracelsus and Jacob Boehme. Obviously there was a primordial fall of backwards spirits, but if this revelation of the age of Michael beginning as recently as 1879 is true, then that may very well account for the truth behind the nazi/ufo/disclosure frenzy, considering the date of 1879 being relatively close to the Roswell story, I'm saying. Most likely they would borough down in the America's, perhaps even Mayan ruins being their landing pad, so to speak. These would likely be dense beings, so I can imagine them being perceptible to human sight sense, as opposed to being strictly spiritual beings, though their influence would likely be greater than humans, and this would certainly account for what happened with Christianity in the 1900s. If they manifest soon, making themselves visible they will certainly pose as angelic beings, but will be backwards Mars beings, or "Dominions"
Marduk Zeus is the Arch Angel Michael.
What are your own thoughts on what you read. This, to me, is far more interesting.
He is bound by orthodoxy’s interpretations..so he will remain silent on ideas that opposed to it
