Tectonic contradictions opening God's flesh releasing contagious ritual mediums as gateways for chaotic omni-subjects

2024-03-27 04:00:13 +0000 UTCLoving this series so much. My ears pricked tf up when I heard Alan Parson’s name, cause I had something of an occult phase and I remember reading about him, Crowley and that whore of Babylon ritual years ago. Love how this is all tying into this end of California shit. Also I laughed so hard at that last TikTok, well done to her for managing to unlearning object permanence and regressing fully back to the sensorimotor stage 💀

2024-03-22 10:39:55 +0000 UTCLOVE Mike Davis’s City of Quartz! so good. And 1990 and still fresh… and so well written. Davis also predicted a pandemic in a 2004 book. Rosemary’s Baby, tho Polanski transposed CA cult to NYC…. Let’s manifest it!

2024-03-18 02:26:51 +0000 UTCI think there’s a drunk history episode on the whole Hubbard/Parsons relationship. Basically the Master part 1

2024-03-15 16:57:44 +0000 UTCLol I remember watching ‘What the Bleep do we Know?’ as a kid and eating it up. The idea that my intentions could alter reality was certainly seductive for a grade schooler…

2024-03-15 14:09:25 +0000 UTCLooking forward to part 2. While I love your heavily edited videos (like a good book, you can return to them again and again), I hope you also continue with these longer more casual (commute friendly) videos as well. Either way, if you produce it, I will happily grow obese consuming it.

2024-03-12 03:56:18 +0000 UTCi find it quite ironic you began with good air considering LA is has notoriously dirty air quality, at least more so back in the day
