Thanks to Sam J. and others for convincing me to view this. Three hours is a lot of time for me to part with, but I did, with a little help from my friend Mister Molson. I know he’s Canadian, but my grandmother Alberta Roy was too, and that is where the comet hit, right?
“Thank you, Jupiter.”
It is interesting that Jupiter [Zeus] was the god of lightning and thunder that threw death and disaster down into the mortal world, and was pretty free with his semen, and that the planet Jupiter has taken more comets for the solar team than we would care to dream of.
The excellent aspect of this podcast is the fact that our current culture’s obsession with the earth, which Graham calls “earth-centric” is essentially emasculating. Astronomy was once the province of men, the fields of the women. We are now emasculated on a cosmic level. Imagine sitting on a floating island and being unconcerned with the other floating islands? That is how inward-looking and masturbatory our current human viewpoint is.
The dogma of archaeology discussed by Graham Hancock is very familiar to a reader of War before Civilization ‘The Pain Of Being Human’. Graham’s appreciation of the Iliad, and the Gate of Horn in his discussion of dreams with dope-head Rogan, does get us closer to the ancient mindset—which was so stoner friendly it makes puritans—and even catholic-spawned drunks like me—shiver in dread, as I down another brew, thank you. All puns aside dreams—and the illness of epilepsy—was very important to the ancients, who were generalists, which makes appreciation of their view difficult for us, who hold so much fragmentary evidence that we have difficulty synthesizing it.
