Another fascinating discussion! In our culture, so bound in the reality formed by the language, I find these etymological connections so significant. They are often relegated to interesting novelty as a diversion from the important links they show. I understand the word 'axe' is from the word 'saxon', originally from swords men of that area. Not to mention the pointy blade of the Angles and their etymological relationship to 'the edge' of the continent. As Marshall McLuhan pointed out, the medium is the message and our patterns of civilisation are often an unexpected reflection of our technologies. Thanks guys!
But yes, I think the seax was a knife favoured by people from the region. Identification with technology goes back a long way, but it's arguably more problematic than ever... thanks for listening!
Interesting comparison of hedge-witch (with which I partly identify) and edgelord ... I was an outsider from childhood on who didn't fit w peers until uni, where there were other weirdos like me - but that led to a lifelong outside observer stance on society - opposed to status quo from left, then seeing them turn into totalitarians, so had to abandon them ... The scientists, doctors, and statisticians opposed to the mainstream pandemic narrative kind of identified as outsiders - especially when they got banned online (Great Barrington, Boriquagato, the "mouse army" as in lab mice)
interesting, if a bit slow-moving (which is probably why I talked too much in my Jobcast with you, Luke.) Many threads, as you say; I especially wanted to hear you go more into the idea that any conscious conspiracy is only a surface manifestation of a "systemic agenda" (aka unconscious drive), and the connection between that and Adam's thought about a "collective death wish."
Getting close to the quick of things, gents.
Question for Adam: how does the arrival of the Asuric entities affect the Steinerian trinity? Can Christ still be the balancing point between three forces?
As I understand it, in Anthroland Asuric beings (have been looking into the fraught history of that term through Vedic and Zoarastrian engagements with it lately - etymologically connected with the Aesir as it happens) are connected to their sun demon boss Sorath, aka the Anty-Christ.
Terry Boardman: "Sorath, however, is more than the spiritual principles of expansion and contraction, of strength and wisdom, represented by Lucifer and Ahriman respectively. He does not enter into physical incarnation; he remains as spiritual shadow." "Sorath stands behind Ahriman and Lucifer as Christ’s shadow, inspiring them." "He is a deception and resembles the Christ. He is like the light but not the true light."
In which case I suppose the answer to your question would be yes, only that additional discernment against the myriad forms of fallen light needs to come into play.
Unconscious drive/collective death-wish increasingly seems to me to be the impetus behind much of what appears to be happening; e.g., competency crisis accelerated by pharmaceutical experiments and "DIE hires" putting everyone's safety at risk, as seen in the recent Boeing 747 near-catastrophe; surely even those who take private jets everywhere are at risk from infrastructural meltdown? unless they have access to secret free-energy tech or something...

we didn't even get to talk about the guitarist from U2!

we're not slow, you're just an impatient Aries ;)
