I have just listened to this interview for the fourth time. It is absolutely excellent. Thank you to Gary Lachman for generously sharing his scholarly research and to you, Jeffrey, for being such an excellent interviewer, your own depth of knowledge draws out the best in your interviewees.
I love that I can watch a show that is so intelligent and on the leading edge of science and discovery and only a few thousand people are watching each episode. It's kind of underground.
There is so much resonance with Gary and Jason and others you have interviewed Jeffrey..its awesome having this playing in the background as I work on other activities...thank you again. Supernatural interviews. Thank you.
The Great French Philosopher Voltaire said : I am convinced that everything has come down to us from the banks of the Ganges, Astronomy Astrology Metempsychosis ect IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO NOTE that some 2500 years ago at least PYTHAGORAS went from Samos to the Ganges to learn geometry .... but he certainly not have undertaken such a strange journey had the REPUTATION of the Brahmin science not been long established in Europe
The Greeks always claimed that Egypt was the source of their philosophical, scientific, mathematic, etc. inspiration. I always see people say that it was India, but you read the Greeks and they say it was Egypt.
Richard Rudd, examining the 22nd Gene Key, puts Hermes Trismegistus in a trio with Christ and Buddha: ‘we encounter three streams of teachings concerning the nature of suffering......(they) are actually one single being, which divided into three fractal aspects over the course of human evolution....Hermes Trismegistus .... goes by many names - Thoth, Merlin, Fu Hsi to name a few. The teaching represented by this fractal is the teaching of Alchemy or High Magic. All true Alchemy concerns the transmutation of suffering through alignment with Divine Will. The second great teacher is Christ, whose fractal represents the transmutation of suffering through love and sacrifice. Finally the third great teacher is Buddha, whose fractal represents the transmutation of suffering through wisdom and compassion......these three great fractals and their teachings form the essence of the Gene Keys revelation....
Love listening to these throughout the day. Still my favorite lecture on this topic is the 4 hour 30 minute recording of Terence McKenna's 1991 Workshop on Alchemy and the Hermetic Corpus. If this video interested you, you'll enjoy this: ruclips.net/video/rzjrl24aHiQ/видео.html.
I'm currently reading the Kybalion by Three Initiates, but heard no mention of it here...I would be very interested to hear Gary's thoughts on it. It goes in depth on the Hermetic concepts Gary referenced, mentalism(all in on, one in all) and correspondence, but includes 7 principles total, including polarization and gender, weren't all addressed here.
Thrice times Hermes is part of the Gnostic tradition and the late Marvin Meyer included the Hermetic scriptures in his excellent tome The Gnostic Bible.
Exellent, Jeffrey! I'd love some day you make a whole program (with a guest) talking about Julius Evola, I would like to know more view points of that thinker in the U.S. Greetings!
When I started listening to Emerald Tablets of Thoth things started happening to me I believe I've been contacted by hemis himself I've been drawing symbols that aren't in the the books and crows have been following me everywhere I go
Zoroaster was philosophically defeated by his half brother Vasistha Muni therefore he left india and relocated to Iran..... Where he inverted the Vedic ideology as an expression of his defeat ( Zoroaster , Zarathustra , Zarutha , Jarutha ) reference Rig Veda 7.9.6
the ficino translations carries bits and parts of egyptian mythology stories wrapped up ı have noticed,further more da vita is how he sees the complete issue while he has translated these texts in a way (ı do my job only style).the texts origınated from way back than ptolemic dynasty means language changed at least three times,the biggest contribution rightfully as mr lanchman says on the development of christian theology (suprisingly very very early from it)good work
I know its common material, but it still feels like a rehash of Terrence McKenna's lecture 'Alchemy and the Hermetic tradition/The History of Magic... very cool to compare/contrast and add.
what are your thoughts on the law of one material odd stuff. I've heard people go on dmt trips and saw symbols they've never seen before turned out to be Enochian. Another weird thing is i've heard completely unconnected that on dmt trips they were told information by entities that pretty much was the law of one its odd stuff for sure
Great interview! I geuss Gary Lachman is familiar with the most interesting library on Gnostic-Hermetic books: Bibliotheca Philosopica Hermetica in Amsterdam? As I commented in Another interview with Dr. Nasser on Egyptian Hermetics, “The trice Great Hermes” is not A historical person but A brotherhood Where the titel; Hermes Trismegistus or Hermes tres megistos is for the Grandmaster of the Brotherhood. Tahuti is the Kemetic name, Hermes Greek, Mercurius Latin and legend has It that the Myrdin or Merlin are the continuation names through time and traditions of this spiritual “White Brotherhood” (Nothing to do with Race! but Light VS the Dark forces)Who illuminate mankind A path to the light in order to break free from the wheel of Live and Death. Since the Old Egyptians saw these “Brothers” (or Sisters) as the bringers of Wisdom, Art, Architecture, Agriculture etc. Indeed Imhotep might have been part of them but Osiris would have been the titel bearer as Trice Great, Since he was lauded as the civilizer and bringer of harvest and ruler of the afterlife the; Douat (Quit Similar figures might have been; Viracucha, Kukulkan or Quetzalcoatl in the South and Middle Americas) But our handicap in the West, (And I’m very much part in this) is that we want to want to classify and name movements afterwards, A lot of times when they have left the theater. If One thing I learned in the mystery school (From which the Bibliotheca Philosophia Hermetica was brought to existence) Is that we want to desperately grab that what is not be for the taking; The universal truth is timeless and vibrates in higher Dimensions so trying to catch It is like Sissifus trying to take the grapes Above his head.....
"That gravity should be innate, inherent, and essential to matter, so that one body may act upon another at a distance through a vacuum, without the mediation of anything else, by and through which their action and force may be conveyed from one to another, is to me so great an absurdity that I believe no man who has in philosophical matters a competent faculty of thinking can ever fall into it." -Sir Issac Newton "Newtonian Physicist's were not good at Philosophy." -Me
Rewrittings, handed down knowledge from Alien to Egyptian Avatars to priestdhood brothers ,spread out in the vicinity maybe!? Exact doesn't matter it's the magic enlightenment with your own gut instinct & 6th sense aweness. When you start thinking the right stuff the positive results draw synchronized coincidence around you & the path unfolds as doors open with new Horizons beckoning you further investigation haha if only it was all that easy!! Not as easy & enjoyable as listening to great minds think alike conversation anyways! Great stuff, truly my mind is buzzing of you both, thank you*
RE: "Going to school in "Egypt". Could the belief that these luminaries "went to school in Egypt" be a literal rendering of a metaphorical construction? "The name 'Egypt' comes from the Greek Aegyptos which was the Greek pronunciation of the ancient Egyptian name 'Hwt-Ka-Ptah' ("Mansion of the Spirit of Ptah"), originally the name of the city of Memphis." Were these luminaries schooling themselves in the "mansion of the spirit..." rather than in physical regions of Egypt? An inner source of the knowledge only truly known by those who find it?
Similarly,, it might be dubious to attribute this knowledge to a specific individual when the its true source is the "dweller in the mansion of the spirit". Textual history notwithstanding.
Not to say this was not a very comprehensive discussion on this extensive topic, I don’t see any mention of the mathematical / geometric identity of Hermes. Perhaps “he” was a geometric proof or algorithm and less a living being.
Plato = classical Attic dialect, Hermetic writings = Koiné (Common) Greek of the Hellenistic world. But you wouldn't even have to be an expert in grammar to date any Greek prose as post-Herodotus.

I love this channel especially because it shows the books they cite on the screen...Great job Jeffrey
WAGNER JANESSON exactly
One of my favourite podcast many of the people including Gary are friends of mine and I interact with them often.
These discussions are pure gold! Incredible that we as the audience have access to this information. Thank you for all you do Jeffrey!
I have just listened to this interview for the fourth time. It is absolutely excellent. Thank you to Gary Lachman for generously sharing his scholarly research and to you, Jeffrey, for being such an excellent interviewer, your own depth of knowledge draws out the best in your interviewees.
Gary Lachman is the man! There is no other contemporary historian of the occult who can match him in the breadth and approach-ability of his work.
Mitch Horowitz, maybe?
Tobias Churton's been doing a fantastic job of it since the 1980s. Look into his work, too.
I love that I can watch a show that is so intelligent and on the leading edge of science and discovery and only a few thousand people are watching each episode. It's kind of underground.
Thanks for putting all this into some kind of context, Gary.
Your talks with Gary are always well worth the time. Thank you both, and crew!
Gary, never ceases to amaze me!! Fantastic on all Level's 👌👁️
Gary is an occultist lore master, bar none! Looking forward to this, Amen!
Another enthralling discussion by Gary and yourself Jeffrey. Once again I would dearly love for Gary and yourself to do a show on Carl Jung.
Love the clarity of these gentleman.
Impressive knowledge!!! Absolutely fabulous!!! Thank you guys!!!
Wow it's all coming together now we are being guided throughout the ages even today
There is so much resonance with Gary and Jason and others you have interviewed Jeffrey..its awesome having this playing in the background as I work on other activities...thank you again. Supernatural interviews. Thank you.
I love all these subjects. I used to run an esoteric forum about 10 years ago. 💗
Wow this was a powerful influx of ideas..I may turn my notes into some songs...using these powerful loving words as creative magic..

Please help fund a much needed Colin Wilson documentary:
The Kybalion is a great book for starters.
It's a great book if you do things backwards, too. A summing up of things you've learned.

Perhaps because it's not a part of the Corpus Hermeticum.

This dude played bass in Blondie.
When I started listening to Emerald Tablets of Thoth things started happening to me I believe I've been contacted by hemis himself I've been drawing symbols that aren't in the the books and crows have been following me everywhere I go
From the Germans, I learned that Thoth is supposed to be pronounced Toe-th. Is that how others have heard it?
Hermis is back and the people that represent him wear the purple and gold

Great videos!
Polytheism - awareness of all the imfluences of the planets.
I know its common material, but it still feels like a rehash of Terrence McKenna's lecture 'Alchemy and the Hermetic tradition/The History of Magic... very cool to compare/contrast and add.
Great.
'A nothing is a non observable', Joseph Farrell.
It's really interesting that Egipt was the source. In Gurdijeff work BTTHG it written that Egipt is what left from Atlantis information wise
7 hermetic principles. Base line of everything
great content !
Thanks!
what are your thoughts on the law of one material odd stuff. I've heard people go on dmt trips and saw symbols they've never seen before turned out to be Enochian. Another weird thing is i've heard completely unconnected that on dmt trips they were told information by entities that pretty much was the law of one its odd stuff for sure
Would it be possible to interview Peter Levenda?
excellent work jeffery & gary, thank you, does anyone know who made that painting of john dee and edward kelley at 40.28 ?
Great interview!

A tarot card brought me here, such a strange yet familiar journey ..

When the greeks where new, the egyptians where old. And when the Egyptians where new the atlanteans where old. 😉
Great stuff! Good to see Bill Gates branching out a bit... (haha just joking of course).

Also consider "The Egyptian" translated as "the dweller in the mansion of the spirit" from the a fore mentioned obscure use of the word, "Egypt".
Similarly,, it might be dubious to attribute this knowledge to a specific individual when the its true source is the "dweller in the mansion of the spirit". Textual history notwithstanding.
Dignity of man.
from the egyptian side i read somewhere he was from heliopolis
......ahahaajhajaja dude said " he got a job at FDS delivering flowers .." ahajajajajaaahhaha
theres also an argument that hermes trismagistus is an honorary title that many people have held. just sayin'. :)
A love chamber ☺
35:00 ish

Now! noted.
Hi I’m an army of treats and money jesters with cans of soup.
Plato = classical Attic dialect, Hermetic writings = Koiné (Common) Greek of the Hellenistic world. But you wouldn't even have to be an expert in grammar to date any Greek prose as post-Herodotus.
For a sec I read "Gay Lachmann".
