    The Cosmic Language of Ancient Civilizations - Jason Quitt

    This week we spoke to author and researcher Jason Quitt. He discusses his out-of-body experiences and how they reshaped his understanding of existence, leading him to explore the connections between ancient texts, astronomy, and the cycles of nature. He demonstrates the significance of celestial bodies in ancient cultures, the symbolism of fertility, and the agency of nature as perceived by ancient civilizations. Quitt emphasizes the importance of the pyramids as celestial clocks and the interconnectedness of symbols across different cultures, suggesting a shared ancient knowledge that transcends time and geography. We discuss the duality of the serpent in various cultures, including its representation in Christianity, and how these ancient stories have been passed down through generations, revealing a shared knowledge across civilizations. A really amazing conversation that hit all the points we love to discuss on the podcast!   You can find more of Jason's work at his website: https://thecrystalsun.com/ If you want to buy the books for the subjects discussed on the show, you can find them on amazon: Gates of the Annunaki https://a.co/d/9ZF3raA Astral Genesis https://a.co/d/bHzsHpc   Jason is also active on X: https://x.com/jason_quitt   Support us through Patreon and get special episodes, early access, and bumper tunes!
