Did the Occult Influence Karl Marx and Early Communism?
Marxism has transformed the world, for better and for worse. But what lies are the root of the philosophy of Karl Marx? Are there occult roots to what became world Communism? This episode explores to what degree, if any, hermetic ideas from Hegelian Idealism came to influence Marx. What about Kabbalah or other Esoteric currents?

How Alchemy & Hermeticism Revolutionized Medicine | Introduction to Paracelsus pt II
Просмотров 29 тыс.День назад
Through the 1520s Paracelsus led a revolution in Alchemy and Medicine. Rejecting the Galenic theory of the Humors in Medicine and the mechanistic sulfur-mercury theory in Alchemy, here we find his famed theory of the Tria Prima of Sulfur, Salt and Mercury, his Alchemical theory of the human body, and a medicine founded on the Hermetic principle that the microcosm is truly bound up with the cosm...

And, after this beatific vision, to employ that Div...

The origins of the Kabbalistic Sefirot remain mysterious even after more than a century of historical research.

    the one architect creator of the material world in egyptian , he is called khnum , if that khnum was an architect of matterial universe, so where did Set come in to this? greeks called him abraxas later, and given him demiurgic status, doesnt "Set" right with me, first Set didn't create the universe, it was already built and commissioned while he was in Nuit's belly, second, he may not be the most upstanding citizen, but comeon . Set wanted to be a god king ,and as the tradition dictates, the first son who is to be the god king of kemet, so he tore Nuit, the sky's womb and came out as to be crowned, but thoth commits time fuckery and made osiris the first born. also, Set was imprisoned in the constellation ursa major by tawaret, in order to contain his typhonic powers. he didnt build no material prison. also only agree with yahweh much except , both are desert storm gods. but thats about it, so what?

    Yes, and it runs deeper. The Left and Right handed paths predate Left and Right as people imagine were the result of the French Revolution. The fruits of his works are clear in their “man will usurp God” vibes. But you all know this, of course, you’re watching Esoterica and reading the comments.

    I think of Marx as an incredible rhetorician. There is a lot to like there. But his theory was necessarily limited by the developments of the day and the incomplete picture of capitalism that he had at the time. The occult beast had not fully formed in its vile nest in his time, but he still noted the problems. It's those analogies and metaphors that make his ideas easy to sell. He is, in a way, appealing to religious attitudes because he's using a lot of similar language. He's painting a picture of a vast, nigh incomprehensible demon. His biggest mistake was in underestimating just how much people like demons. Or at least, just how much they will tolerate the behavior of demons once that behavior has been normalized. People have been assuming the world is horrible and wicked for all of history. Hard to imagine anything better when that's your worldview.

    Two recommendations for your next-year revisiting of the topic: _Occult Features of Anarchism: With Attention to the Conspiracy of Kings and the Conspiracy of the Peoples_ by Erica Lagalisse and _Pagan Anarchism_ by Christopher Scott Thompson. The titles should probably be titillating enough, but summaries can be found easily online. Lagalisse covers in brief in one chapter ("Occult Features of the Marxian Dialectic") what you've dealt with in some detail here, and Barbara Ehrenreich, in her Foreword, says of it, "Be warned: this is a challenging book, one that sent me off to Google page after page." Thompson offers more a history of folk religion, magic, revolutionary politics, and so on, along with suggestions for ways to move forward into a world of Many Gods, No Masters.
