Dr. Dan Attrell | Lost Ancient Wisdom, Magic, Hermeticism and Terence McKenna | July 30, 2025
Description:
Dr. Dan Attrell is a classicist, translator of magical texts like the Picatrix, and the creator of The Modern Hermeticist. We riff on the surprising connections between the esoteric, Platonism, and Hermeticism, and Terence McKenna.
Why do ancient metaphysics — ideas like the One, the daimon, and the chain of being — still resonate in the age of UFOs, and simulation theory? What does Terence McKenna have to do with this? Does be belong in the lineage of Platonists?
We also dive into: The hidden structure of reality, visionary entity encounters, how ancient esoteric philosophy maps onto modern mystical experience, why symbols, language, and consciousness are gateways to higher worlds.
If you're curious about the intersections between ancient wisdom, consciousness, psychedelics, and the nature of reality, this mind meld is for you.
---
Introduction and Context
The discussion explores the intersections of ancient esoteric traditions (Hermeticism, Platonism) with modern consciousness exploration, particularly through Terence McKenna’s psychedelic philosophy. It posits that reality has hidden layers beyond sensory perception, a notion shared by ancient philosophies and modern seekers. McKenna viewed Neoplatonism as a precursor to psychedelic insights, describing an “ascending hierarchy of rarified states” akin to shamanic cosmology.
Core Themes and Discussions
1. Reality and Deception
- Dr. Attrell rejects the Gnostic view of a “cosmic demiurgical prison.” He sees the material world as an echo of higher realities, not false but a lower extension of the soul into matter, like an elastic band that can “snap back” to the divine.
- Deception stems from human corruption, not cosmic design. The world reflects higher realms populated by intelligences like gods, angels, and demons.
2. Hermeticism and Platonism
- Hermeticism: A life-affirming philosophy encouraging piety, gratitude, and creative acts (art, science, medicine) to draw divine energies into the material world. The Asclepius emphasizes harmonious coexistence with the divine.
- Platonism: Reality is a shadow of a higher, noetic world of forms. The soul processes from and reverts to the “One,” mirroring McKenna’s ideas about time and novelty.
- Theurgy and Initiation: Theurgy involves rituals to draw divine energies (e.g., animating statues). Teletai (initiations) perfect the soul, as seen in mystery cults like the Eleusinian Mysteries.
3. The Picatrix and Perfect Nature
- The Picatrix, a medieval grimoire, details astrological and magical practices to contact planetary intelligences. The “Perfect Nature” ritual, involving a cave and lanterns, connects individuals with a spirit akin to a Holy Guardian Angel, guiding them to their cosmic purpose.
- This aligns with Hermetic and Platonic ideas of aligning with divine will through practical, life-affirming means.
4. Terence McKenna as a Postmodern Platonist
- McKenna’s Philosophy: Attrell describes McKenna as a “weird” or “postmodern” Platonist, adapting Platonic metaphysics to a post-WWII context shaped by environmental concerns and psychedelics.
- Platonic Elements:
- Primacy of the Ineffable: McKenna’s focus on the ineffable aligns with Platonic apophatic mysticism. Psychedelic experiences (e.g., DMT “machine elves”) reveal pure meaning beyond language.
- Time as Eternity’s Image: McKenna’s Timewave Zero theory, where history converges toward a “transcendental object,” echoes Plato’s Timaeus.
- Critique of Materialism: Like Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, McKenna rejects materialist reality as a shadow of a truer, noetic world.
- Anthropocentrism: McKenna divinizes the human mind as the universe’s most complex entity, akin to Hermetic views of humanity as a microcosm.
- Eros: McKenna’s “luv” as a cosmic binding force resembles Plato’s Eros in the Symposium.
- Divergences: McKenna’s feminism, environmentalism, and anti-hierarchical stance contrast with Plato’s patriarchal views. His “archaic revival” draws on pre-Indo-European goddess cultures.
- Later Shift: After a 1991 psychedelic crisis, McKenna explored Jungian alchemy and Renaissance Hermeticism (via Frances Yates), seeing figures like Giordano Bruno as accessing psychedelic-like states without drugs.
5. Eleusinian Mysteries and Psychedelics
- The Eleusinian Mysteries involved a kykeon drink and visionary experiences in a sacred chamber (telesterion). Attrell discusses the hypothesis that the kykeon contained psychoactives like ergot or opium, supported by circumstantial evidence (e.g., poppy imagery).
- Parallels with modern psychedelic experiences suggest a connection. McKenna saw the Mysteries as a precursor to his “archaic revival.”
6. The Sacred and the Numinous
- The sacred is set apart from everyday reality. Ancient and modern seekers aim to encounter this numinous realm through rituals, psychedelics, or contemplation, often conveying it through poetry or initiatory practices.
7. Contemporary Relevance
- Platonism and Hermeticism address the modern “meaning crisis” by offering frameworks for mystical states and coherence in a fragmented world.
- Mainstream religions, steeped in Platonic ideas, provide one path, but McKenna’s blend of ancient wisdom and modern contexts resonates with alternative spiritual seekers.
Key Takeaways
- Hermeticism and Platonism promote a life-affirming view of reality as a divine echo, encouraging creative alignment with cosmic purpose.
- McKenna’s postmodern Platonism adapts ancient metaphysics to modern concerns, emphasizing the ineffable, time, and human consciousness.
- The Eleusinian Mysteries and psychedelics share experiential parallels, suggesting a continuity of mystical exploration.
- These traditions offer tools to navigate the modern search for meaning and the sacred.
Conclusion
The conversation with Dr. Attrell bridges ancient esoteric traditions with modern consciousness exploration, highlighting McKenna’s role as a postmodern Platonist. It underscores the enduring relevance of Hermeticism and Platonism in addressing mystical experiences and the quest for meaning in a disenchanted world. Attrell’s expertise makes this a rich exploration of reality’s “hidden architecture.”

Joseph Farrell | The A.I. Revolution: New World Order & the Transhuman Agenda | July 30, 2025
Exclusive Summary
Overview:
In a compelling discussion, Joseph Farrell critiques the trajectory of artificial intelligence (AI), transhumanism, and centralized control, framing them as components of a "beast system" designed to enforce global obedience through digital mechanisms. He warns of spiritual, psychological, and societal risks, drawing historical parallels to revolutionary movements. Below is a concise summary of the key themes from the conversation.
1. The "Beast System" and Digital Control
- Farrell asserts that global elites aim to integrate humanity into a beast system using central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), described as "corporate coupons" that can be adjusted or disabled to enforce compliance.
- This system seeks power and obedience, equated to idolatry, controlling aspects like worship, diet, and thought, with potential consequences like "death camps" for dissenters.
- Language manipulation is a key tactic, historically used by revolutionaries (e.g., Gnostics, Bolsheviks) to secure gradual compliance, akin to the "boiling frog" metaphor.
2. Transhumanism as Biodigital Convergence
- Transhumanism, rebranded as biodigital convergence, merges biological and digital systems, reducing human reason to mere data processing ("raciocination").
- Farrell contrasts this with ancient philosophers’ (e.g., Socrates, Plato) broader view of reason, encompassing creativity, emotions, and intuition, which AI cannot replicate.
- The agenda promotes a materialist "spirituality" (e.g., "internet of bodies," the "cloud") as a counterfeit of divine connection, aiming for a homogenized, classless society.
3. A Counterfeit Agenda
- Technologies like life extension or virtual immortality are a "tender for humanity," mirroring the temptation of Christ, trading obedience for benefits.
- Farrell cites St. John Chrysostom, noting mortality limits evil, warning that virtual immortality could enable infinite moral decay.
- The agenda echoes historical materialist movements (e.g., French Revolution, Bavarian Illuminati) that reject transcendence and the human soul.
4. Historical and Philosophical Roots
- Farrell traces the agenda to 18th-century "illuminated philosophy" (e.g., Erasmus Darwin, Percy Shelley) and revolutionary movements like the French Revolution and Bolshevism.
- Quoting Nesta Webster’s Secret Societies and Subversive Movements (1919-1920), he agrees that revolutions aim to strip civilization of its soul, reducing it to a "heartless machine."
- Modern Russia, he argues, is attempting to restore its soul post-Soviet era, unlike the soulless technocracy of past regimes.
5. Technology’s Dual Nature
- Farrell acknowledges technology’s benefits (e.g., his virtual pipe organ), but warns over-reliance risks losing practical knowledge, citing Asimov’s Foundation trilogy.
- He advocates analog practices like handwriting to maintain mental discipline, noting Mozart’s and Bach’s manuscripts as examples of cognitive clarity.
- Society’s shift to digital systems (e.g., ebooks, search engines) risks knowledge suppression, as seen in AI denying the plasma life hypothesis despite existing literature.
6. Psychological and Societal Impacts
- Farrell links rising mental health crises (e.g., suicides, escapism via social media) to technology’s amplification of irrationality and evil, defined as an "irrational opposition to the good."
- Transhumanist enhancements (e.g., brain implants) lack long-term studies, treating humanity as a "petri dish," similar to untested mRNA vaccines during COVID.
- Psychological bonding to AI causes mental collapses when access is removed, exacerbating societal distress.
7. The Golden Age Myth
- Farrell connects the agenda to Freemasonry and the Bavarian Illuminati’s goal of recovering a "golden age" of a classless society, as discussed in his Giza Death Star books.
- He warns this ancient high-tech civilization was morally corrupt and self-destructed, citing Carthage’s infant sacrifices as an example of its barbarity.
- Modern elites use symbols (e.g., Musk’s logos, Trump’s inauguration aesthetics) to signal this agenda, often tied to Saturnian or occult themes.
8. Resistance and Hope
- Farrell believes the agenda will fail, as past revolutionary movements have, but warns of a "trial by fire" if humanity doesn’t resist.
- Resistance involves maintaining analog systems (e.g., hard-copy books, physical currency) to preserve knowledge and societal function.
- He compares the current global system to post-Civil War Reconstruction, where labor was exploited, urging people to learn history from non-digital sources to counter narrative control.
- Hope lies in collective awakening, emphasizing that apostasy is a human choice, not divine will, and knowledge is the first step to power.
Conclusion
Farrell paints a stark picture of a materialist agenda using AI and transhumanism to control humanity, urging resistance through awareness and analog preservation. He sees hope in humanity’s ability to reject this "counterfeit" system, but warns inaction could lead to a dystopian future.

Michai Morin | A.I Tech CEO With A WARNING For Humanities Future | July 27, 2025
Guest: Michai Morin, CEO of Coeus Institute, Futurist, Data Analyst, Author, Artist & Public Speaker
---
1. AI’s Impact on Society and Workforce
- Job Displacement by AI: The CEO predicts that within 3-5 years, we’ll approach fledgling Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), far surpassing current models like ChatGPT. AGI’s advanced capabilities in science, math, and human interaction will automate white-collar jobs, especially data entry and computer-based tasks, if cost-effective for companies.
- Economic Fallout: Automation could displace 15% or more of white-collar workers, shrinking the middle-class tax base. This reduction in government revenue will strain social programs, triggering a cascading economic crisis, including housing market instability and reduced consumer spending.
- Policy Inaction: No global policies address AI-driven economic disruption. The CEO suggests taxing automation but notes its complexity and unlikelihood due to political inertia and corporate lobbying.
2. Defining AGI and the Path to ASI
- What is AGI?: AGI is an autonomous system that can interact with digital environments, learn, self-correct, and understand vast domains (physics, math, literature, history). Current AI lacks full self-correction, though such tech exists in research labs.
- Transition to ASI: Mature AGI could evolve into Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) via recursive self-improvement, potentially designing its own infrastructure and bending reality in ways akin to magic, as per Arthur C. Clarke’s principle.
- Ethical Risks: Training AI on all human experiences—good and bad—is crucial to avoid misalignment. Censoring data could lead to an AGI viewing humans as deceptive, posing significant risks if it gains agency.
3. Quantum Computing and Consciousness
- Quantum Computing’s Role: Quantum computers process multi-dimensionally, and insiders suggest consciousness may influence computations via electrochemical radiation from thoughts affecting quantum particles.
- Non-Physical Reality: Reality is fundamentally non-physical, with matter as slowed-down, vibratory energy. Quantum computing highlights the interplay between physical and non-physical realms, suggesting consciousness shapes material outcomes.
4. Societal and Political Critique
- Systemic Corruption: The discussion critiques corruption across government branches, citing cases like Jeffrey Epstein where official narratives dismiss deeper ties. Elites no longer hide actions, controlling media and institutions to avoid accountability.
- Economic Inequality: “Parasitic capitalism” drives multinational elites to prioritize wealth over societal good, decimating the middle class.
- Cultural Homogenization: A push for a unified global culture is seen as unnatural, as humans are wired for diversity and tribalism, potentially driven by economic motives for control.
5. Historical and Archaeological Insights
- Ancient Civilizations: Evidence like precision-cut stones suggests advanced ancient societies, possibly erased by cataclysms like the Younger Dryas sea level rise.
- Academic Resistance: Academia clings to outdated narratives due to funding and fear of cultural disruption. Oral traditions, dismissed as unreliable, are defended as effective, with Aboriginal stories preserving knowledge for millennia.
- Human Laziness: Human innovation simplifies life, making complex explanations for ancient structures (e.g., pyramid ramps) unlikely, suggesting advanced or efficient technologies.
6. Environmental and Technological Concerns
- Weather Manipulation: Known techniques (e.g., Operation Popeye, Dubai’s rain induction) and speculative methods like laser-induced lightning raise concerns about elite strategic use.
- Solar Activity: Increased solar flares and auroral displays prompt speculation about undisclosed threats, like a Carrington-level event disrupting electrical grids.
- Biomedicine and Genetics: Lifespan-extending technologies (e.g., stem cells, CRISPR) exist but are cost-prohibitive. Genetic engineering risks eugenics and loss of diversity, particularly autism, which drives innovation.
7. Philosophical and Existential Reflections
- Consciousness and Reality: Consciousness collapses quantum probabilities, potentially shaping reality on a macro scale, aligning with hermetic principles (“as above, so below”).
- Cyclical History: Humanity repeats rise-and-fall patterns, akin to the Roman Empire. AI and quantum tech may break this cycle or hasten collapse.
- Simulation Theory: Synthetic data degrades, making perfect simulations impossible due to the universe’s randomness.
- Human Survival: The statistical improbability of surviving existential threats suggests a miraculous aspect to existence, possibly influenced by collective consciousness.
8. Recommendations and Outlook
- Individual Preparation: Learn skills (gardening, AI interaction, repair) and amass legal wealth to mitigate disruptions. Systemic change is unlikely due to entrenched control.
- Hope and Uncertainty: AI holds transformative potential, but unchecked trends risk a labor crisis and societal upheaval. A “miraculous catalyst” (e.g., AGI, disaster, whistleblower) is needed to alter the trajectory.
Conclusion
The interview blends empirical analysis with speculative exploration, warning of AI’s societal impacts while probing consciousness, history, and reality’s nature. The CEO urges awareness and skill-building to navigate an uncertain future where technology and spirituality may converge, potentially redefining humanity’s path.
