Today, along with many of you, I heard the news that my friend Esoteric has continued onward in his journey. Above is brief tribute video that I made today.
Below is the video announcement from his friend Napah:
Below is a YouTube video I made recently with links to my previous appearances on the Esoteric Thoughts channel:
Another warm thank-you to Esoteric of the Esoteric Thoughts channel for inviting me over for a conversation about "A Tale of Two Kings" and the ancient stories of Solomon and Midas.
This interview was actually recorded on 22 July 2022 but due to the way the schedule worked out, it is just now appearing for the first time today!
I hope you will enjoy this discussion -- and as always, please feel free to share with those for whom this information would be positive and valuable in some way.
Also, please consider giving Esoteric some positive feedback for all his hard work!
The stories and figures of the ancient myths constitute a precious inheritance, given to all cultures, connected by a common system of celestial metaphor, and intended for our benefit and blessing in this incarnate life.
Big thank-you to Chance Garton of the InnerVerse Podcast for inviting me over to his channel for a wide-ranging conversation about myths, metaphor, and the stars!
This video was recorded live on February 05, 2023.

Here's a very short video I made recently, discussing surprising defensiveness surrounding the story of Balaam and the Ass in the Biblical book of Numbers.
I have written an extensive discussion of this story and its celestial foundations here.

How appalling:
The US once upon a time gave many thousand of their best tanks -- the M4 Sherman tank, including the version with the 76mm main gun, seen here -- to the Soviet Union in order to fight Germany and the Nazis in World War II.
Now the US (and Germany) are sending their tanks to the armed forces of the Ukraine -- a country that has commemorated WWII-era fascists and Nazi collaborators:
Military units of Ukraine such and Azov are openly pro-Nazi and openly wear Nazi insignia. The commander-in-chief and other Ukrainian military leaders have been photographed in offices where photographs and statue busts of WWII-era fascists and Nazi collaborators are proudly displayed. See one example here:
The irony will not be lost on the people of Russia.
The people of the United States of America might want to wake up and ask what exactly has happened in their own country since World War II supposedly ended.
