    Garden of Thought E.373 Crete, Minoans and Atlantis

    Bernie Taylor is back. Our guide around the Meditterean took me up on talking about Crete, We still haven't deciphered it's writings, but it's influence outsizes the island's size. From the legend of Atlantis to the Minoans and myths such as the Minotaur, on to any Phoenician connections, Crete looms large. Listen in and let's see if we can't separate some facts from fiction, and maybe leave some things in the gray.

    Garden of Thought E.372 Professor Temple on Everything

    Half a century ago, he published an international sensation and he hasn't stopped researching and writing since. He's a true Renaissance Man and his studies are far and wide. He's written on the origins of the universe, the matter state known as plasma, the dating of Egyptian megaliths, and...heaven? We discuss how he has disproved the Big Bang Theory. We discuss how he might be the only person besides Aristotle to read the entirety of Aristotle's zoological tomes. We discuss the sentient beings all throughout the universe that aren't grays or little green men, and he's documented multiple efforts at communication by them TO us. I theorize on "photons" and twin myths. We discuss noetics. We are still kin.

    Garden of Thought E.371 Long Term Care

    Matt McCann is a lomg term care specialist with a simple but unpleasant lesson for us all. We all need to plan for needing some level of assistance in living as we get older. And there's not really anyone equipped to help you except you. You might wonder why we're discussing this topic on this show. It's a little outside even our generous strike zone. But there are two reasons: 1. It is something that is a universal need. Probably not limited to the USA. 2. It's a significant piece of the the health care issue. which are caches of issues. This is some of the pieces in that mosaic and I hope to cover more of those pieces over time.

    Garden of Thought E.370 The Devil's Name

    The Devil was not into this recording. It cut off my recording 4 times, but I feared no evil as a bravely recorded through the shadow of death. My returning guest, Southern Demonology's JJ Johnson explained why my prior sentence was a mistranslation. That is both a teaser and theme. Like you, I am aware of many names that might mean The Devil. I go through as many as I can poorly pronounce and we stumble into a few more. Could it be...Satan? Nope. How about Lucider or Azazel or Beelzabub or Set. Why is Zoroastrianism probably the most important aspect of this topic? Who was testing Job? Who led The Watchers? Is that even scripture?  All this and more, Don't bite an apple. Or a pomegranate. Or a quince. We really don't knowwhat that was either but it's really unlikely the serpent was or is the Devil either. Fun times. Fate favors the bold. Enter intrepid ones.

    Garden of Thought E.369 Immune and Uninflicted

    Seth Voorhees is a Black Hills author who lives in Rapid City, South Dakota. He describes himself as a writer of dark fiction. He draws on his experience as a counselor and educator in adolescent development and mental health to develop his characters and their journeys through morality and life's challenges. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Sociology and Psychology from Black Hills State University. He lives with his partner and stepdaughter. More information can be found about Seth at: Home – A Black Hills Author We discuss his second book, which he reacquired the rights to and re-published as he intended the book to read. We also discuss his other three published books and the horror genre. We discuss plenty of horror and related properties. Among the many tributaries that get fed by the Garden.  After a deadly virus infects the global population, it throws all of the world’s inhabitants into two classes: the inflicted and the immune. Wyatt Tuck, a member of the Immune, finds himself inside a nightmarish onslaught of deadly feuds and riots. Losing his home and family brings him into the paths of other immune—his niece Layla, Easton, and coworker Mitch Burkly—and the opposing inflicted, such as Helen Olsen. When Helen and Tamera meet the Tucks and Mitch at Camp Belt, they will make a shocking discovery. At Camp Belt, an internment camp for the immune, Helen is promoted to Commander. She makes a shocking discovery about the two warring social classes and must rise to action. Will she choose to battle the rising forces created from the charred ash of the world’s dead society? Or does she dare hope to unite a darkened world so it can rise again into the light?

    Garden of Thought E.368 Hyperborea

    Prof. Chris Forth of the University of Kansas joins us to discuss all things Hyperborea. We're covering the bunk to de-bunk. And, as is the remit of this show, we shall travel in many directions. However, we do start with what Hyperborea literally means; historic roots in writings and legends/myths; and we move into more modern interpretations. Alon the way, we visit the Greeks. Conan the Barbarian, Lovecraft, Helena Blavatsky, Nazis, Agartha, and the list goes on. We get fairly current with how notions of Hyperborea feed into a "white" origin of man and into the Right Wing echosystem. I spend way too much time thinking about the potential of Pete Hegseth having tatoos mapping portals on Greenland as part of foreign policy. Trust me, I tie it all up neatly in a flawless logical bow. Or I don't. You judge,  For the record, I wanted to use the word Sybilene, but never quite found the right time.

    Garden of Thought E.367 Ezekial

    So, we're finally getting to the prohet Ezekial. But first....Yes, there's always something. First, we need to review the types and aspects of the angels. Which is related to the 10 levels and the tree of Life and the idealic man.  Ezekial actually chronicles the process and progression of all prophecies. He was the only one to put these experiences to words.  So, we go through his description and what they represent.  It's quite an education.
