@@TheImperatorKnight Seems to me you realized something was off about how these people communicate. So even though you may not have been able to articulate it clearly, it's good to know you were already skeptical about it. Speaking in general here.

With these lectures, it's like James Lindsay has singlehandedly unmasked the Devil and his Game for the 21st century. I feel like I've had the wool lifted off from my eyes.
Did you know that Orwell wrote 1984 in defense of democratic socialism. “Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism, as I understand it.”
@@viperstrike1908 simple yet everybody wants the same, just cannot agree on definitions of democratic and socialism. i mean the countries with democratic and socialist in the name are some of the worst places you would ever want to be, close to 1984, but they would say they need totalitarianism to protect their democracy and state socialist programs.
@@eckz8659 people invoke 1984 as an argument against socialism and communism even though George Orwell himself wrote the book in defense of socialism. So I just think it’s ironic tbh.
James is so far ahead of everyone else on this topic, it's quite amazing how well he understands it while it's way over the head of most people, even those that might want to understand. I love it!
There should be a big German word for when people hook others on why their hidden knowledge is enlightenment. And that's what Dr. Lindsay should call that book.

The occultists of the 19th century were scam artists. So also were the socialists. It's not so surprising to see crooks traveling in the same circles, cross-referencing their most successful techniques, and so on. Nor is it about "absolute perfection in humanity." It's about manipulating the human cattle for money and power.
Oh, it's making so many people bat sheet crazy. Especially the women. So far, they are the ones who have shown me they have no problem being totalitarians. They will state, "You have no right"...
"This quest for absolute perfection in humanity..." Whos trying for that? Itd be nice if the people in the town I live in were having 'a good college try' at "absolute perfection in humanity"...alas no. The irresponsibility and crime is ever-present.
That ironically is the idea, that's what Marxism does it's the "aha" moment for people, the reason he's telling you this is so you actually understand it, because without the "aha" you wouldn't get it at all.
here's another one for you - 'education of the new age'1954 by AB: "To many of you, for instance, the World War (ww2) was a supreme disaster, an agony to be averted in the future at any cost, a dire and dreadful happening indicative of the wickedness of man and the incredible blind indifference of God . To us, on the inner side, the World War was in the nature of a major surgical operation made in an effort to save the patient's life. A violent streptococcic germ and infection had menaced the life of humanity (speaking in symbols) and an operation was made in order to prolong opportunity and save life, not to save the form . This operation was largely successful . The germ, to be sure, is not eradicated and makes its presence felt in infected areas in the body of humanity . 1 1 2 EDUCATION IN THE NEW AGE Another surgical operation may be necessary, not in order to destroy and end the present civilisation, but in order to dissipate the infection and get rid of the fever. ... Let us work towards that end . But at the same time, let us never forget that.... when a form proves inadequate, or too diseased, or too crippled for the expression of that purpose, it is from the point of view of the Hierarchy-no disaster when that form has to go . Death is not a disaster to be feared ; the work of the Destroyer is not really cruel or undesirable . I say this to you who am myself upon the Ray of Love and know its meaning . There are two lines of destruction : that which is meted out by human beings with no understanding of the life purposes, who act blindly and ignorantly, prompted by selfish desire, by love of power or by hatred; there is also that which is permitted by the soul in due and right time, and it comes when a new vehicle of expression is demanded by the indwelling life . Therefore, there is much destruction permitted by the Custodians of the Plan and much evil turned into good, because the end is seen from the beginning, and the consciousness is ripe enough in experience to relinquish the form because of the sensed benefits to be gained.

Before seeing your comment I was contemplating how interesting it is that it is out in the open anymore. It's no longer hiding in the shadows like it used to. Brazen is the word that comes to mind.

Dr. Lindsey is a national treasure and (unsung) hero of Liberalism and logical empiricism. He also writes some good jokes and his timing and delivery is fine. Mainly his humor is so sly it goes over people's heads at times. It's blink and you miss it, so mainly he needs to learn how to telegraph the jokes. Most comics avaoid doing that, but since his oevre is serious, he has to pitch the jokes more broadly. It helps that he points out he's made a joke, which primes his audience to expect them in the future. That seems to be working. He got a nice laugh just now. As a comic, I can tell you its important to that our jokes connect. They're sort of like our children. I approve!
My take is that not all jokes need to get a laugh. They create a feeling. And you have to trust them as you say them. But when he says "that was a joke," I go from a pleasant feeling ("that was smooth, very nicely put") to an icky feeling (harder to describe, but something like feeling embarrassed for him, mocked by him, and even a little shock and betrayal that he devalued something fragile and kind of special. Meaning not just the joke itself, but the whole flow. Really takes me out of the moment. Wince. What are your thoughts on this, as a comic?
I am now discovering James Lindsay and I still cannot believe how this knowledge can be accessible for free! I am listening from Italy and now in the free time I love listening to videos or podcast, from USA and Canada mainly, that can give me part of the explaination of the world we are living
Pretty sure I was on to something and started to question things and I believe why I am no longer a part of a university. 5 years later I see a clearer picture. My innocent observations were dangerous.
Hit Highland Park Sr. High in 1966: A soc./history teacher, fired after telling Junior class that the best form of gov't. is Communism. 1968 U. of M, Mpls-- instructor tells class, at end of last day of the quarter, that only "homosexuality" is non-oppressive. No one moved a muscle.
I was studying occultism, esotericism, hermetcism and other isms for 6 years. I had a crisis of faith (what they call the dark night of the soul that allegedly you're supposed to push through, the gnosis and illumination is allegedly just beyond this point of cognitive dissonance) and gave up my practice. I started focusing on my career and family life and paying attention to the news, politics and figuring out what on earth is happening. The way you explain how this topic, how these secret religions tie into the current crisis is something I never understood and am so happy to have explained. Thank you Mr Lindsay
This is an incredibly sophisticated talk, I've learnt so much and this will help with future discernment. Thank you James Lindsay, God Bless you; I do pray you come to Christ.
This talk is completely surface level and takes his conclusions as granted. He is taking truth and reality as granted without actually exploring it. He is using a lot of words to tell you what you want to hear. He is a sophist.
@@aisthpaoitht I don't think that anyone really wants to hear about the failures of gnosticism, hermeticism, or esotericism. I'm sure that there are people who are wrapped up in the politics of all this who do just hear whayever they want to. But for me, gaining a decent grasp on the topics that James is talking about has been very painful, in that it's forced me to look inward and backward and recognize these thought forms for the temptations that they really are.
This is one of the most important talks that James has given. I understood what he is talking about much more clearly after listening to Tikhistory talking about the book "The Occult Roots of Nazism".
One of the best lectures I have listened to distilling what many have intuitively known but became more measurable and crystallized these last three years. @59:30 "Replacing your first reality of your experience, and replacing it with the second reality of imaginative construction."
Thank you James! Listening is not enough. Taking notes is not enough. Reading the sources is not enough. Writing one's own understanding is not enough... We must do more! But at least we're listening... Thank you James for all your illuminating lectures! Why aren't more public intellectuals talking with you?
You are on point, moving with the fire. There will be an intense demonstration of a lot of the points you are making, and I would say soon. This is a sustaining message. P.S. - Woke means vengeful ignorance.
at 1:00-ish : one of the things i love most about Dr Lindsay is not just the "stupid math jokes" but his continuation of the jovial play in Academia that only exists with those who appreciate the intellect of others as well as their own. 🥰
Yes. James has been sprinkling more and more practical ideas amongst the philosophical stuff. I slow-poke like me sorely needs such departures from philosophy/theosophy/alchemy/etc.
Yes, this is correct. One simple way to recognize gnostisism is that their teachings include"secret truths". As Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Light, there can never be secrets in His righteousness. Thanks 👍You've definitely exposed that gnostisism works quite well the counterfeit identities we see openly celebrated in society today.
I saw a comment on Substack on James video on SEL being one of his most important, but I think this one is not only one of James's most important videos, but also one of the most important videos on the internet at large.
The title reminds me of "Los Enemigos Del Comercio" or "The Enemies Of Commerce" de Antonio Escohotado. He also called the commies (from pre-marxists to post-marxists) the enemies of reality. It is interesting how different approaches arrive at the same conclusion. It really is that undeniable.
@@history3585 I found it in spanish on libgen. Not sure if there is a translation, but there should. According to wikipedia, its english title should be "The enemies of commerce. A moral history of property"
when somebody is telling you to believe them, based on their authority, not based on something you can sense or measure for yourself, you are dealing with a cult.
They launder their ideology through the institutions they have captured. It's why they suddenly care so much what 'the experts' have to say. "Are you an expert?!" If someone says this, you know you are dealing with a cult.
The standard is reality. To some, truth is perceptual evidence. To some, truth i revelation of supernatural realms. Tp some, truths are mathematical proofs and platonic forms. To cultists truth is the written word of a doctrine or the whims of a person.
@@hopplahoppla9328 religions, to the extent they are not cults, do not tell ppl what to believe. religion is more about mimicking practice, and what works, sticks,
So glad that I recently found you. You are answering a lot of questions I have regarding why they are doing what they are doing. Interesting to watch this play out aware and awake
Absolutely something I've been waiting for for years. But I can only understand it because of everything I've read during all these years I spent on learning about reality and our plight. It's truly ancient royal arcana, which came to Christianitas with returning Crusaders and Holy Land visitors, and got its adepts and then masters in the Rosicrucian Order. The true spiritual, esoteric and "scientific" beginnings of complete madness we can observe 5-6 centuries later.
Wow, explains so much. It’s the endless criticism, the “not that” that means they cannot describe an alternative or end state, the condemning of an entire system and all its constituent parts. We are “on the wrong side of history” because we insist on truth, logic, proof. We are indeed in their magic circle when we are arguing but we must address it only in their self created magical terms; we must repeat the spell, then try to break it.
I shocked a lady the other day when i was explaining virtue signalling and secret language. She thought i was crazy. So... i started talking about the underground railroad....
Oh how I wish I could get my neighbors, family, church members to understand what was said in this lecture. Sadly it takes more time than most people can devote from their busy lives to understand the principalities and powers at play.
Both JP & JL are at the top of their games. Whenever someone wants to learn about the new marxist movement I always refer them to JP first explaining postmodernism, marxism, & religion. & then once they get the basics I send them over to James for the nitty gritty details of the marxist plan to takeover the west. It works every time so long as the person was already receptive to it & not a default leftist. Nothing against democrats, I am talking about *leftists*.
Very informative. I've only recently learned about gnostic mythology in the last few years. But I was raised as a Jehovah's Witness and now I'm seeing so many correlations between the gnostic cult projects and JW dogma. The founder of JWs was rumored to be a freemason but even if he wasn't officially a member, he was clearly influenced by esoteric Egyptian theology. He's buried in a replica pyramid at the JW headquarters in NY... I think this problem is far bigger than we're realizing, it's not just in the educational and political institutions, it's everywhere. The freedom of religion in America means these secret gnostic religions have been growing and adapting for the last few centuries. After learning all this, It feels like this is all in an efforts to push their project of synthesis ideology further and further.
"Reason keeps faith sane!" [35:00] If there is one message I have been trying to get across to Christians throughout the adult part of my seventy-one years, it is this one, James. But, one of the greatest gifts given to me was to have studied Theology at university, back in the 1970s. There, we encountered Gnosticism early on (one is unlikely to have encounered it in Physics!) as it was attacked in the New Testament, and through Early Fathers such as Irenaus. My DICTIONARY OF CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY (Ed. Alan Riuchardson) defines Gnosticism as "systems of belief which claimed to impart a special knowledge of God, of his relation to ther world and to men, and of redemption, whose possession intellectually and spiritually enlightened the initiated and thus guaranteed the salvation of their souls". This is why so many Christians are able to perceive Gnosticism in 'Woke'; and to see 'Woke' as a 'religious' movement. This is especially apparent when one sees in such luminaries as TONY BLAIR and KLAUS SCHWAB a certain hubristic arrogance and conceit. They consider themselves 'enlightened' and as 'initiates' into special secret knowledge, which requires their own vast intellects, before it may be discerned. For the ordinary "lesser mortals" there is no hope.
William Cooper has a brilliant series called 'Mystery Babylon' in which he talks at length about the mystery religions of history and their current proponents in our times. Relatively hard to find since his radio show was ran during the 90s, but well worth the 30+ hours of broadcasts if your interested in this philosophy/religion.
Thanks for providing the forum. Just got an answer to a question that has bugged me for over 10 years. I was in a college psychology class and we were discussing the virtues of the scientific method, and I had asked the professor "why haven't we come up with something BETTER than the scientific method?" He responded with "how can you be better than something that is self critical, and always asks itself for proof?" Listening to this on my drive to work this morning, and I realized that a major flat with the scientific method is there's no room for things which aren't yet provable, but are nevertheless true. A non religious example of this might be the "fallacy fallacy", wherein we reject predictions based off the fact they're not logical, even when they're correct. Gay marriage, for example, all the people against it said it would lead to further degeneracy, and those for it immediately cried "slippery slope". And now, we're arguing over trans-ing kids and normalizing pedophilia. The thinking may have been fallacial, but the prediction was correct.
Invoking fallacies reeks of mediocrity anyhow. Not a single thought about fallacies should figure into assessing the validity of a truth claim - you can assess just fine without knowing about a single one. Fallacies are overrated and mostly invoked by the lowest stratum of those who study soft subjects or philosophy and fancy themselves intelligent. They're essentially just a means for emotional and untalented people to dismiss arguments without having to engage them intellectually.
It's not a fault of the scientific method; it's a fault with the folks who believe that science can and should address everything, which it doesn't. Science can't tell you whether waffles or pancakes, pie vs. cake, or even whether or not pineapple is an acceptable pizza topping. Science, in fact, can never tell you what you _should_ do; the most it may tell you are likely consequences of a suggested action. Whether those consequences are 'good' or 'bad' science does not, and cannot, evaluate.
Slippery slope isn't always fallacious. If you claim something will escalate (do down the slope) as if it's an established fact, without actual support; that's a fallacy. But when you're thinking/warning about the possibility/risk, it's not a fallacy. Salami slicing is an actual tactic actively used in politics to get things done, and we've seen just that numerous times. The whole trans thing and the covid lockdowns are just a few examples, but there are many more. It doesn't even have to be on purpose. Unintentional mission creep is a real thing.
@TheMylittletony When applied to characterization, this process is often called "flanderization," after Homer's nemesis/foil who started out a _slightly_ more idealized patriarch before becoming who is today.
That is the observation Dennis Prager makes. And as a more "secular" person, I agree. Redefining "marriage" made "gender" not important. "Gender doesn't matter". Blew the whole thing wide open, and now we have smiling women doctors at Childrens hospitals saying all these little kids know they are really a boy, not a girl, etc. Makes me stark raving ill. Personally, I h8te the word "gender". But, use it for convenience here.
Anti Christ is exactly that, anti, not for anything. Anti Christ, and anti everything else. Esotericism is rooted in the negative as is clearly stated. Against everything.
When James talks about copies of copies, that's called "generation loss". My favorite way to understand the simulacra concept is a spongebob meme: you start with a living sea sponge, then you create a synthetic sponge, then a drawing of a synthetic sponge, then finally SpongeBob SquarePants. It isn't about copies, but representations or symbols that eventually lose the connection to what they originally represented, no connection to reality. Another example. There's a famous painting of a tobacco pipe with the words: Ceci n'est pas une pipe...this is not a pipe
Great lecture! I recommend the book "The Gnostic Empire Strikes Back" by Peter Jones. It was published in 1992 and discusses this from purely Christian perspective. The subtitle of this book is "An Old Heresy for the New Age".
Inspiring talk ; observation teaches that anyone who has so obviously rejected , through their speech + action , faith + reason and proceed to become over - exposed in the public sphere , exude gnosticism together with all its veneer .
I have been listening to this podcast for quite awhile and I have to say that I saw value in it from the beginning although it made my head hurt for sure… and I have read a fair amount of challenging literature in my time. But I have to say that once all of these ideas begin to turn into something cohesive it feels like I am changed in a fundamental way from it… it is a very weird feeling that began to take place around the time when James was putting up the podcasts on the theology of Marxism itself… I feel like these ideas have changed me internally in some irreversible way… I haven’t become radicalized per se but I indeed feel more radical as a result of having heard these ideas. I have had a lot of time to meditate on it but I am kind of disturbed by the whole thing. I am a mature adult but these kinds of ideas are really dangerous to be taught to kids… frankly most adults as well. Now every time I think of the garden of Eden I find myself contemplating the snake’s side of the story… that didn’t used to happen!
Sounds like you are on the road to the truth. There is such a thing as absolute truth. And best of all, it doesn't change and it has been clearly disclosed. Check out the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John if you want to have all the wool completely removed.
If you would care to attempt an interesting thought exercise I can attempt to formulate the responses of the snake. Maybe it's helpful and maybe it's not but I'm just a guy who developed an unconscious rejection of Gnostic materials like two decades ago and its taken me about that long to sort out why I dislike much of what I dislike. What would you want to ask or discuss?
This guy gets it. James, right on man. Jonathan Pageau gave me the insight you shared through symbolic worldview. I saw James talk with Pageau, it was great. More recently, I saw James talk with Peterson was also fantastic.
So true and profound. Much of occult initiation involves a great deal of what is termed 'guided visualisation'. In everyday life this can take the form of theater, film, soap opera, TV commercials, political speeches, pop music, Olympic ceremonies, Superbowl performances. The magick of the holly wood... the art and science of causing change to occur in conformity with the will. Therefore we do well to take care what we allow to be painted on the canvas of our mind. As Solomon once said: "Guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life."
I wish I could give you, James, a huge hug in appreciation for your intelligent dissemination of the corruption of reality that we are all facing, one way or another. These "false" truths (particularly gender ideology) have caused me personally so much distress, and it helps me beyond words to hear someone like you explain how we arrived at our current cultural madness. I have also just finished your book, "The Marxification of Education," which I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to understand how young people's minds are being corrupted with these insanities.
The video is dead spot on! From my personal experence: I have witnessed the mechanisms of the 'gnostic' religion in real life, unfortunaltely, even in my close circle. Especially the part of the self-imposed censorship and the clear understanding (actually belief), that "all needed knowledge is already aquired, so there is no further knowledge out there". This explains, why Queers (just as example) believe that there is no objective truth out there, or the systematic destruction of categories, by making them unspecific and unrecognizable, by the, for the explanation's sake, "left". This is why the ideologies look like lit from the same "matrix", with just different "ingredients" put inside, and arguments with them usually goes into endless loops, like "it is 'this' way -> therefore 'that' follows -> because it is 'this' way". Here is my pure brainstorming on it: it looks like a intrinsic logical fallacy within our minds (an "internal defect" of our minds, comparable to a road "bump"), which is triggered, when experiencing "belief" (conceptualizing the unlimitness and boundlessness) and is able to derail the actual "belief", into a complex closed loop. It could be the feeling of fear, combined with a fallacial logical coping mechanism, of said concept, in order to address it. I assume, that it is not a conspiracy, but rather a systematically existing logical vulnerability of humans, which gets exploited time and time again, after it has been discovered for the first time in ages past. The ever occurring motives are a result of radiation from previous spreads, as well as their narrative-fitting nature. I didn't yet fully grasp, if actually every religion is fallacial in its core, or it is just a similar mechanism, activating a lot of the same parts of the brain, which makes it a good vessel. Have a good night!
Regarding your comment, "if actually every religion is fallacial...", Manly P. Hall wrote on the 12 world teachers. I heard or read Hall comment on his text that out of the 12, that only Jesus was based on truth, and the other 11 teachers were looking for something else.
Well, I don't really follow. Can you simplify? I have been focused on reading about the "trans" issue...So, my simple question is, in your estimation, why the heck are so many women (doctors, educators, mothers) throwing out all the other previous knowledge of child development out the window, and now believing 3 & 4 yr. olds know they are the opposite s*x if they say so? And even pushing this garbage on kindergartners? The "affirmation only" cult mentality has taken over so many people's minds, its mind boggling. I partly understand since I grew up in basically a religious personality cult, and I partly don't. Growing up in the 'cult' made me very sceptical about any kind of "group think", and all this BLM, SJW, Trans stuff, from the very beginning. Every single friend goes along with it, except for the trans stuff, so I don't even let them know what I think about it.
With my limited knowledge (I haven't even went to a college or university yet) when I thought deep enough it did seem like some sort of defect logically speaking.
The "Not That" idea is a fantastic angle that hasn't been pointed out before. It would be great to hear J.L. address "The Mores" and how they fit in to everything. The Mores always only want the one thing as well. They want more. Holes. Endless appetite. More.
the way it works is by basically hypnotising you, so you dont know your arse from your elbow, you dont know what gender you are, you essentially know nothing, all your knowledge comes from the authority, which change the rules regularly, daily is preferable, to keep you gripped by their sourcery.
hitler, mao, stalin, all operated in this way. Hegelian dialectic, problem, reaction, solution, problem, reaction, solution......which draws you deeper into dependence on the source of claimed truth, meanwhile objective truth is happening, but you are oblivious to it.
Yes, abstraction is the key - as they cannot substantiate their claims about the world, they exist in the plain of vagueness, subjectivity (‘your truth’ and ‘my truth’, not the truth) and low resolution thinking.
The Wizard's Circle of Trans as I see it: "Gender" invented in the 60's. A word loosely duplicated from sex, then played with in ways to "negate the real." The simulacrum. Further linguistics are used to strengthen the circle... "sex change" - You can't change sex. But almost everyone now accepts that in some sense, the hyperreal sense, you can. "trans woman" - Not a woman. But most people believe he is, in a hyperreal sense, a woman. "biological man," "cis man" - once trapped inside the wizard's circle, you'll accept these terms as useful, and they fortify it.
The simulacrity tendency fits exactly with how Iain McGilchrist describes the tendency of the left brain hemisphere to create fake worlds when not balanced with the right hemisphere.
I realize that what you describe, match on a tragedy when I was younger, the Hale Bopp suicide "Heaven's gate", people who self castrated, then suicided in the hope to enter a higher level of existence with aliens.
Excellent talk. Great critical overview of Critical theories as hermetic gnosticism. James even manages to get the thought of both Baudrillard and Voegelin to support his point.
I was so disappointed with how J.Peterson delivered his interview with James! He didn’t allow James to get his message across and familiarise the audience with his fantastic work. Jordan should invite him again, sit quietly and just let James speak and not try to do psychoanalysis on him.

@@VesnaVK I first heard about this from _Our Fake History,_ episode #43 "What is Phantom Time?" The second half of the episode gives an overview of Fomenko's ideas, and why the podcast's creator doesn't buy it. The claim is that human history only extends to about 1200 AD, and that anything supposedly earlier than that is a copy-and-paste with names swapped around to pretend at an older history. Additionally, dude claims that all steppe nomads that have periodically come conquering off the steppe (Scythians, Mongols, Huns, what have you) were all _really_ Russians, and that Russia was dominant politically and culturally in Europe and Asia for the first few centuries of 'true' history. Anyway, after the super special awesome Russians lost their cultural and political dominance, those nasty western Europeans (especially the English) popularized their fake history (including the story about how the Russians were conquered by one of the steppe nomad peoples invented for the fake history.) Because the true Russians were so awesome it made sense to metaphorically kick them while they were down, rather than simply point and laugh at their diminished state. Never you mind all the physical evidence of human history older than the 1200s. According to Fomenko, that's all pre-history, and the 'history' we associate with it is all part of the hoax meant to rob the Russians of their rightful place in history.

James is so far ahead of everyone else on this topic, it's quite amazing how well he understands it while it's way over the head of most people, even those that might want to understand. I love it!

Hi James. You are a breath of fresh air. Truth is the new hate speech. Thanks for all of your hard work. 👍🏻
I've always had this feeling that all of this is like a societal OCD. This quest for absolute perfection in humanity which is driving people insane.
The occultists of the 19th century were scam artists. So also were the socialists. It's not so surprising to see crooks traveling in the same circles, cross-referencing their most successful techniques, and so on. Nor is it about "absolute perfection in humanity." It's about manipulating the human cattle for money and power.
Oh, it's making so many people bat sheet crazy. Especially the women. So far, they are the ones who have shown me they have no problem being totalitarians. They will state, "You have no right"...
"This quest for absolute perfection in humanity..."
Whos trying for that? Itd be nice if the people in the town I live in were having 'a good college try' at "absolute perfection in humanity"...alas no.

here's another one for you - 'education of the new age'1954 by AB:
"To many of you, for instance, the World War (ww2) was a supreme disaster, an agony to be averted in the future at any cost, a dire and dreadful happening indicative of the wickedness of man and the incredible blind indifference of God . To us, on the inner side, the World War was in the nature of a major surgical operation made in an effort to save the patient's life. A violent streptococcic germ and infection had menaced the life of humanity (speaking in symbols) and an operation was made in order to prolong opportunity and save life, not to save the form . This operation was largely successful . The germ, to be sure, is not eradicated and makes its presence felt in infected areas in the body of humanity . 1 1 2 EDUCATION IN THE NEW AGE Another surgical operation may be necessary, not in order to destroy and end the present civilisation, but in order to dissipate the infection and get rid of the fever. ... Let us work towards that end . But at the same time, let us never forget that.... when a form proves inadequate, or too diseased, or too crippled for the expression of that purpose, it is from the point of view of the Hierarchy-no disaster when that form has to go . Death is not a disaster to be feared ; the work of the Destroyer is not really cruel or undesirable . I say this to you who am myself upon the Ray of Love and know its meaning . There are two lines of destruction : that which is meted out by human beings with no understanding of the life purposes, who act blindly and ignorantly, prompted by selfish desire, by love of power or by hatred; there is also that which is permitted by the soul in due and right time, and it comes when a new vehicle of expression is demanded by the indwelling life . Therefore, there is much destruction permitted by the Custodians of the Plan and much evil turned into good, because the end is seen from the beginning, and the consciousness is ripe enough in experience to relinquish the form because of the sensed benefits to be gained. This is true of individuals, of nations and of races. "

What a lecturer....the quality of knowledge & learning is immeasurable...many many thank James....
Dr. Lindsey is a national treasure and (unsung) hero of Liberalism and logical empiricism.
He also writes some good jokes and his timing and delivery is fine. Mainly his humor is so sly it goes over people's heads at times. It's blink and you miss it, so mainly he needs to learn how to telegraph the jokes.
Most comics avaoid doing that, but since his oevre is serious, he has to pitch the jokes more broadly.
It helps that he points out he's made a joke, which primes his audience to expect them in the future. That seems to be working. He got a nice laugh just now.
As a comic, I can tell you its important to that our jokes connect. They're sort of like our children. I approve!
My take is that not all jokes need to get a laugh. They create a feeling. And you have to trust them as you say them. But when he says "that was a joke," I go from a pleasant feeling ("that was smooth, very nicely put") to an icky feeling (harder to describe, but something like feeling embarrassed for him, mocked by him, and even a little shock and betrayal that he devalued something fragile and kind of special. Meaning not just the joke itself, but the whole flow. Really takes me out of the moment. Wince. What are your thoughts on this, as a comic?
I am now discovering James Lindsay and I still cannot believe how this knowledge can be accessible for free!

I was studying occultism, esotericism, hermetcism and other isms for 6 years. I had a crisis of faith (what they call the dark night of the soul that allegedly you're supposed to push through, the gnosis and illumination is allegedly just beyond this point of cognitive dissonance) and gave up my practice. I started focusing on my career and family life and paying attention to the news, politics and figuring out what on earth is happening.

This talk is completely surface level and takes his conclusions as granted. He is taking truth and reality as granted without actually exploring it. He is using a lot of words to tell you what you want to hear. He is a sophist.
@@aisthpaoitht I don't think that anyone really wants to hear about the failures of gnosticism, hermeticism, or esotericism. I'm sure that there are people who are wrapped up in the politics of all this who do just hear whayever they want to. But for me, gaining a decent grasp on the topics that James is talking about has been very painful, in that it's forced me to look inward and backward and recognize these thought forms for the temptations that they really are.
This is one of the most important talks that James has given. I understood what he is talking about much more clearly after listening to Tikhistory talking about the book "The Occult Roots of Nazism".

Dr. Lindsay,
You are making the world a smarter place. THANK YOU!
Yes, this is correct. One simple way to recognize gnostisism is that their teachings include"secret truths". As Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Light, there can never be secrets in His righteousness.

Absolutely something I've been waiting for for years. But I can only understand it because of everything I've read during all these years I spent on learning about reality and our plight.
It's truly ancient royal arcana, which came to Christianitas with returning Crusaders and Holy Land visitors, and got its adepts and then masters in the Rosicrucian Order. The true spiritual, esoteric and "scientific" beginnings of complete madness we can observe 5-6 centuries later.
Wow, explains so much. It’s the endless criticism, the “not that” that means they cannot describe an alternative or end state, the condemning of an entire system and all its constituent parts. We are “on the wrong side of history” because we insist on truth, logic, proof. We are indeed in their magic circle when we are arguing but we must address it only in their self created magical terms; we must repeat the spell, then try to break it.
I shocked a lady the other day when i was explaining virtue signalling and secret language. She thought i was crazy. So... i started talking about the underground railroad....

Both JP & JL are at the top of their games.

@@MyMuse1111 What do you mean by that?
Very informative. I've only recently learned about gnostic mythology in the last few years. But I was raised as a Jehovah's Witness and now I'm seeing so many correlations between the gnostic cult projects and JW dogma. The founder of JWs was rumored to be a freemason but even if he wasn't officially a member, he was clearly influenced by esoteric Egyptian theology. He's buried in a replica pyramid at the JW headquarters in NY...
I think this problem is far bigger than we're realizing, it's not just in the educational and political institutions, it's everywhere.
The freedom of religion in America means these secret gnostic religions have been growing and adapting for the last few centuries. After learning all this, It feels like this is all in an efforts to push their project of synthesis ideology further and further.
"Suitcase words" used to be a thing to avoid in serious writing. It's a useful, yet strangely forgotten term.
Awesome! Best description I ha e ever heard for all this insanity! 😮❤
"Reason keeps faith sane!" [35:00] If there is one message I have been trying to get across to Christians throughout the adult part of my seventy-one years, it is this one, James. But, one of the greatest gifts given to me was to have studied Theology at university, back in the 1970s. There, we encountered Gnosticism early on (one is unlikely to have encounered it in Physics!) as it was attacked in the New Testament, and through Early Fathers such as Irenaus. My DICTIONARY OF CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY (Ed. Alan Riuchardson) defines Gnosticism as "systems of belief which claimed to impart a special knowledge of God, of his relation to ther world and to men, and of redemption, whose possession intellectually and spiritually enlightened the initiated and thus guaranteed the salvation of their souls". This is why so many Christians are able to perceive Gnosticism in 'Woke'; and to see 'Woke' as a 'religious' movement. This is especially apparent when one sees in such luminaries as TONY BLAIR and KLAUS SCHWAB a certain hubristic arrogance and conceit. They consider themselves 'enlightened' and as 'initiates' into special secret knowledge, which requires their own vast intellects, before it may be discerned. For the ordinary "lesser mortals" there is no hope.
Thanks for helping us to understand the current situation!
William Cooper has a brilliant series called 'Mystery Babylon' in which he talks at length about the mystery religions of history and their current proponents in our times. Relatively hard to find since his radio show was ran during the 90s, but well worth the 30+ hours of broadcasts if your interested in this philosophy/religion.
Thanks for providing the forum. Just got an answer to a question that has bugged me for over 10 years.
I was in a college psychology class and we were discussing the virtues of the scientific method, and I had asked the professor "why haven't we come up with something BETTER than the scientific method?" He responded with "how can you be better than something that is self critical, and always asks itself for proof?"
Listening to this on my drive to work this morning, and I realized that a major flat with the scientific method is there's no room for things which aren't yet provable, but are nevertheless true.
A non religious example of this might be the "fallacy fallacy", wherein we reject predictions based off the fact they're not logical, even when they're correct. Gay marriage, for example, all the people against it said it would lead to further degeneracy, and those for it immediately cried "slippery slope". And now, we're arguing over trans-ing kids and normalizing pedophilia. The thinking may have been fallacial, but the prediction was correct.
Invoking fallacies reeks of mediocrity anyhow. Not a single thought about fallacies should figure into assessing the validity of a truth claim - you can assess just fine without knowing about a single one. Fallacies are overrated and mostly invoked by the lowest stratum of those who study soft subjects or philosophy and fancy themselves intelligent. They're essentially just a means for emotional and untalented people to dismiss arguments without having to engage them intellectually.
It's not a fault of the scientific method; it's a fault with the folks who believe that science can and should address everything, which it doesn't. Science can't tell you whether waffles or pancakes, pie vs. cake, or even whether or not pineapple is an acceptable pizza topping.
Science, in fact, can never tell you what you _should_ do; the most it may tell you are likely consequences of a suggested action. Whether those consequences are 'good' or 'bad' science does not, and cannot, evaluate.
Slippery slope isn't always fallacious. If you claim something will escalate (do down the slope) as if it's an established fact, without actual support; that's a fallacy. But when you're thinking/warning about the possibility/risk, it's not a fallacy. Salami slicing is an actual tactic actively used in politics to get things done, and we've seen just that numerous times. The whole trans thing and the covid lockdowns are just a few examples, but there are many more. It doesn't even have to be on purpose. Unintentional mission creep is a real thing.
@TheMylittletony When applied to characterization, this process is often called "flanderization," after Homer's nemesis/foil who started out a _slightly_ more idealized patriarch before becoming who is today.
That is the observation Dennis Prager makes. And as a more "secular" person, I agree.
Redefining "marriage" made "gender" not important. "Gender doesn't matter".
Blew the whole thing wide open, and now we have smiling women doctors at Childrens hospitals saying all these little kids know they are really a boy, not a girl, etc. Makes me stark raving ill.
Personally, I h8te the word "gender". But, use it for convenience here.
Anti Christ is exactly that, anti, not for anything. Anti Christ, and anti everything else. Esotericism is rooted in the negative as is clearly stated. Against everything.

How am I only now finding out about this channel...
When James talks about copies of copies, that's called "generation loss".
My favorite way to understand the simulacra concept is a spongebob meme: you start with a living sea sponge, then you create a synthetic sponge, then a drawing of a synthetic sponge, then finally SpongeBob SquarePants.
It isn't about copies, but representations or symbols that eventually lose the connection to what they originally represented, no connection to reality.
Another example. There's a famous painting of a tobacco pipe with the words: Ceci n'est pas une pipe...this is not a pipe
This was exceptional. Well thought out and presented. Going to share, share, share!
Great lecture! I recommend the book "The Gnostic Empire Strikes Back" by Peter Jones. It was published in 1992 and discusses this from purely Christian perspective. The subtitle of this book is "An Old Heresy for the New Age".
Inspiring talk ; observation teaches that anyone who has so obviously rejected , through their speech + action , faith + reason and proceed to become over - exposed in the public sphere , exude gnosticism together with all its veneer .

I have been listening to this podcast for quite awhile and I have to say that I saw value in it from the beginning although it made my head hurt for sure… and I have read a fair amount of challenging literature in my time.
But I have to say that once all of these ideas begin to turn into something cohesive it feels like I am changed in a fundamental way from it… it is a very weird feeling that began to take place around the time when James was putting up the podcasts on the theology of Marxism itself…
I feel like these ideas have changed me internally in some irreversible way… I haven’t become radicalized per se but I indeed feel more radical as a result of having heard these ideas.
I have had a lot of time to meditate on it but I am kind of disturbed by the whole thing.
I am a mature adult but these kinds of ideas are really dangerous to be taught to kids… frankly most adults as well.
Now every time I think of the garden of Eden I find myself contemplating the snake’s side of the story… that didn’t used to happen!
Sounds like you are on the road to the truth. There is such a thing as absolute truth. And best of all, it doesn't change and it has been clearly disclosed. Check out the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John if you want to have all the wool completely removed.
If you would care to attempt an interesting thought exercise I can attempt to formulate the responses of the snake.
Maybe it's helpful and maybe it's not but I'm just a guy who developed an unconscious rejection of Gnostic materials like two decades ago and its taken me about that long to sort out why I dislike much of what I dislike.

More recently, I saw James talk with Peterson was also fantastic.
Wow! The top of my head just blew off.
it is a good start, will be quite a journey, mine started 3 years ago, i took the red pill, it is bitter, but at least i know is the truth.
So true and profound. Much of occult initiation involves a great deal of what is termed 'guided visualisation'. In everyday life this can take the form of theater, film, soap opera, TV commercials, political speeches, pop music, Olympic ceremonies, Superbowl performances. The magick of the holly wood... the art and science of causing change to occur in conformity with the will. Therefore we do well to take care what we allow to be painted on the canvas of our mind. As Solomon once said: "Guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life."
I fear, if we really knew the amount of hermetic/cultic lies in our society, we would be completely shocked and devastated.
I wish I could give you, James, a huge hug in appreciation for your intelligent dissemination of the corruption of reality that we are all facing, one way or another. These "false" truths (particularly gender ideology) have caused me personally so much distress, and it helps me beyond words to hear someone like you explain how we arrived at our current cultural madness. I have also just finished your book, "The Marxification of Education," which I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to understand how young people's minds are being corrupted with these insanities.
The video is dead spot on!
From my personal experence:
I have witnessed the mechanisms of the 'gnostic' religion in real life, unfortunaltely, even in my close circle. Especially the part of the self-imposed censorship and the clear understanding (actually belief), that "all needed knowledge is already aquired, so there is no further knowledge out there". This explains, why Queers (just as example) believe that there is no objective truth out there, or the systematic destruction of categories, by making them unspecific and unrecognizable, by the, for the explanation's sake, "left". This is why the ideologies look like lit from the same "matrix", with just different "ingredients" put inside, and arguments with them usually goes into endless loops, like "it is 'this' way -> therefore 'that' follows -> because it is 'this' way".
Here is my pure brainstorming on it:
it looks like a intrinsic logical fallacy within our minds (an "internal defect" of our minds, comparable to a road "bump"), which is triggered, when experiencing "belief" (conceptualizing the unlimitness and boundlessness) and is able to derail the actual "belief", into a complex closed loop. It could be the feeling of fear, combined with a fallacial logical coping mechanism, of said concept, in order to address it. I assume, that it is not a conspiracy, but rather a systematically existing logical vulnerability of humans, which gets exploited time and time again, after it has been discovered for the first time in ages past. The ever occurring motives are a result of radiation from previous spreads, as well as their narrative-fitting nature. I didn't yet fully grasp, if actually every religion is fallacial in its core, or it is just a similar mechanism, activating a lot of the same parts of the brain, which makes it a good vessel.
Have a good night!
Amazing observation!
Regarding your comment, "if actually every religion is fallacial...", Manly P. Hall wrote on the 12 world teachers. I heard or read Hall comment on his text that out of the 12, that only Jesus was based on truth, and the other 11 teachers were looking for something else.
Well, I don't really follow. Can you simplify?
I have been focused on reading about the "trans" issue...So, my simple question is, in your estimation, why the heck are so many women (doctors, educators, mothers) throwing out all the other previous knowledge of child development out the window, and now believing 3 & 4 yr. olds know they are the opposite s*x if they say so? And even pushing this garbage on kindergartners?
The "affirmation only" cult mentality has taken over so many people's minds, its mind boggling. I partly understand since I grew up in basically a religious personality cult, and I partly don't. Growing up in the 'cult' made me very sceptical about any kind of "group think", and all this BLM, SJW, Trans stuff, from the very beginning. Every single friend goes along with it, except for the trans stuff, so I don't even let them know what I think about it.
With my limited knowledge (I haven't even went to a college or university yet) when I thought deep enough it did seem like some sort of defect logically speaking.
@@nappa3550 Their goal is not “truth”; it is “to cause belief”. That is why they want the Bible off the table and the believers silent.
This had me more livid than I was expecting. Well done!
Thank you, for the tools to confront the hydra heads in Western daily life.
The "Not That" idea is a fantastic angle that hasn't been pointed out before.
It would be great to hear J.L. address "The Mores" and how they fit in to everything.
The Mores always only want the one thing as well. They want more.
Holes. Endless appetite. More.
Amazing presentation, thank your for enlighten my mind
Hello, I watch these James Lindsay videos over and over...thank you. Judy Blabla
"There is a fundamental difference between a cult and religion." I hope this line will get revisited and not discarded.
Thank you man. You are pretty much the only guy breaking this down this "theology".
this is basically how all collectivists operate, negate the real,
make my abstract vision, concrete.
rinse, repeat.
the way it works is by basically hypnotising you, so you dont know your arse from your elbow, you dont know what gender you are, you essentially know nothing, all your knowledge comes from the authority, which change the rules regularly, daily is preferable, to keep you gripped by their sourcery.
hitler, mao, stalin, all operated in this way. Hegelian dialectic, problem, reaction, solution, problem, reaction, solution......which draws you deeper into dependence on the source of claimed truth, meanwhile objective truth is happening, but you are oblivious to it.
another technique they used, was constant notifications and warnings, to keep populace gripped by fear.
Yes, abstraction is the key - as they cannot substantiate their claims about the world, they exist in the plain of vagueness, subjectivity (‘your truth’ and ‘my truth’, not the truth) and low resolution thinking.
Jim is brilliant and a true warrior. You will learn a heck of a lot with these vids
Finally I link my hatred of astrology into this... Thanks!
Seriously I was thinking on it.
Bravo MONSTER mystro James. God bless and protect you
The Wizard's Circle of Trans as I see it:
"Gender" invented in the 60's. A word loosely duplicated from sex, then played with in ways to "negate the real." The simulacrum. Further linguistics are used to strengthen the circle...
"sex change" - You can't change sex. But almost everyone now accepts that in some sense, the hyperreal sense, you can.
"trans woman" - Not a woman. But most people believe he is, in a hyperreal sense, a woman.
"biological man," "cis man" - once trapped inside the wizard's circle, you'll accept these terms as useful, and they fortify it.
For my money james lindsey is the most important thinker of our current times.
The simulacrity tendency fits exactly with how Iain McGilchrist describes the tendency of the left brain hemisphere to create fake worlds when not balanced with the right hemisphere.
I have learned so much from James Lindsay the last few years its incredible
"What do we want?" "NOT THAT!" "When do we want it?" "BEFORE NOW!"
Amazing lecture!!!!! Very illuminating!
Amazing Lecture
I realize that what you describe, match on a tragedy when I was younger, the Hale Bopp suicide "Heaven's gate", people who self castrated, then suicided in the hope to enter a higher level of existence with aliens.
Excellent talk. Great critical overview of Critical theories as hermetic gnosticism. James even manages to get the thought of both Baudrillard and Voegelin to support his point.
They call everything else performative when that is exactly what they are doing.
Golden Nuggets!
Keep 'em coming😊❤
the denouncement, is the announcement
the reaction, is the action
Pithy!
Thank you for what you are doing.
Amazing presentation. In the future could you please post reference materials? Or links?
I was so disappointed with how J.Peterson delivered his interview with James! He didn’t allow James to get his message across and familiarise the audience with his fantastic work. Jordan should invite him again, sit quietly and just let James speak and not try to do psychoanalysis on him.
Well I didn't know I was into this, or rather that this is what i was into. I just thought I was researching... You just blew me away I'm so glad I found this channel a couple days ago. How did the algorithm know? I got into this when I heard about the keys from Solomon and the Russian timelinewhere the middleages never existed.. But I am deeply immersed in this. I just thought this was religion that was hitting on today's truths
What's this about a timeline where the middle ages never existed? Can you recommend some videos or channels?
@@VesnaVK look for _Anatoly Fomenko_ hes the main man behind it. To be fair, i have no idea what kind of content is here on RUclips, I read about him.... a while ago and it's the dark ages didn't occur, the middle ages are copied onto the dark ages. My bad
@@VesnaVK I first heard about this from _Our Fake History,_ episode #43 "What is Phantom Time?" The second half of the episode gives an overview of Fomenko's ideas, and why the podcast's creator doesn't buy it.
The claim is that human history only extends to about 1200 AD, and that anything supposedly earlier than that is a copy-and-paste with names swapped around to pretend at an older history. Additionally, dude claims that all steppe nomads that have periodically come conquering off the steppe (Scythians, Mongols, Huns, what have you) were all _really_ Russians, and that Russia was dominant politically and culturally in Europe and Asia for the first few centuries of 'true' history.
Anyway, after the super special awesome Russians lost their cultural and political dominance, those nasty western Europeans (especially the English) popularized their fake history (including the story about how the Russians were conquered by one of the steppe nomad peoples invented for the fake history.) Because the true Russians were so awesome it made sense to metaphorically kick them while they were down, rather than simply point and laugh at their diminished state.
Never you mind all the physical evidence of human history older than the 1200s. According to Fomenko, that's all pre-history, and the 'history' we associate with it is all part of the hoax meant to rob the Russians of their rightful place in history.
Very interesting perspective and cleverly explained. Reminds me of some of the old Hour of the time-radio shows with William Cooper.
Well, that was terrifying.
