yes that would be interesting.I'm certainly open to Nathan having her own ideological blindness. I'll pass the interviews on to her and see if she has any comment.

have you looked into Michael Aquino? He's exactly the kind of guy that makes it hard to find any discernment among left-hand pathers.... For me, the best chapter is with regards to the Temple of Set and Michael Aquino. It also received Flower's clear preference as the best Left Hand Path organization/movement...
I have investigated both Michael Aquino and the Temple of Set to a great degree.
That is why I appreciated the final chapter of Flower's book as it painted a clear sympathetic view of the Temple of Set with regards to "emulating" all the tenets of the Left Hand Path. I noted how segments of the book defended against the "Satanic Panic" claims.
I think I understand where you're coming from... and that's how I took it, an "operation formula." I'm just not convinced it's a very good one... particularly because I don't agree with the black / White dichotomy he posits....It's a simple operational formula...
for example, on the left hand side I'm not convinced that he's factored in the deceptive nature of people like a Aquino and some of the other folks we've mentioned in this thread. some of this is self preservation... people who are facing long prison sentences for sex crimes against children will do and say anything... but some of it is deception of the evil kind ( assuming one accepts a Consciousness hierarchy in a moral imperative). I'm not convinced flowers has incorporated this in.
regarding the right hand path, as I've mentioned I'm a Mickey singer in Eckhart Tolle fan... I'm not sure I could jam their philosophy into the right-hand path he's describing.
There is nothing more important to true growth than realizing that you are not the voice of the mind – you are the one who hears it.
agreed. The other distinction he's making... and I think it's really really important but subtle... is that our concept of our individuality is largely a misconception of the events of our life. it's like thinking that the guy who cut you off on the freeway is it total left hand pather jerk when the reality is he's a super nice guy who had his side view mirror in the wrong position. take this example and multiply it a million times a million and you'll have an idea of what I think Singer is talking about. Not saying he's right... just saying that's the distinction he's making. a big part of our reality and our that yoice that's telling us who we think we are is based on a series of misunderstandings and our reaction to them.– Michael Singer, The Untethered Soul
This sounds like an ode to the importance of retention of individuality as seems the title of his book, too. (I just ordered it).
*****Well my point is, is this just about people with power behaving extremely badly, or about evil conscious entities of some sort?
The point is that most of us don't come to a podcast like that with a ton of background reading about who is who in American public life. Even a small piece of the saga, such as the Epstein scandal shows cleary the scale of the problem - and as I pointed out, it also seems to show that the authorities are dragging their feet about exposing everything that Epstein was up to.
I should say that I am only half way through the podcast at this time.

The depositions were taken as part of a lawsuit brought against Maxwell by Virginia Roberts Giuffre. Giuffre had accused Maxwell of aiding Epstein in the abuse of Giuffre before she was an adult. The lawsuit was eventually settled.
Lawyers for Maxwell, 58, had argued that the documents reflecting seven hours of interviews over two days should remain sealed, in part to protect her right to a fair trial in July on charges that she helped Epstein traffic and sexually abuse teenage girls in the 1990s.
agreed... if this kind of evil "otherworldly"? Or just crazy people? It's both. .
but that it will take a lot of will power along with a bit of Divine help for them to be released from that insatiable Evil grip
