California Weltgeist V - Cult California (Part 1)

Comments

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

This mixture is also present in the first generation Star Trek where they literally meet the Greek gods who have this science magic. Also it present in comics as Superman is a kind of science messiah; Thor hanging out with Iron Man a scientist.

Loving 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 💀

LOVE 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!

You need to read "Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon" next. https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/18617616

I think there’s a drunk history episode on the whole Hubbard/Parsons relationship. Basically the Master part 1

Lol 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…

Yea Christian Science is considered a cult by most denominations of Christianity.

Looking 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.

Based AF. Can't wait for more

Matt S

maybe you get to that, you shouldnt comment partway through the video

i 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
