Occult historian and author Mitch Horowitz joins Ultra Minds w/ JK Ultra for a fast, fearless tour through the hidden currents that shaped modern spirituality. We unpack Madame Blavatsky’s real influence (including Gandhi’s “ignition point”), debunk the “Nazi occultism” myth, and reveal Freud’s private fascination with ESP. We also dive into Monroe Institute OBE tech, Jack Parsons, Crowley & the Babalon Working (aka the “Moonchild”), the Golden Dawn’s angel/demon frame, why labels like UFO/alien/jinn/Bigfoot limit the search, and the truth behind The Kybalion.
Highlights:
• Monroe tech & actionable insights from OBE work
• Blavatsky → Gandhi, Theosophy & India’s independence movement
• Root Races in context (not eugenics) & the “Nazi occult” myth debunked
• Freud’s letters on telepathy, precognition & psychical research
• Parsons, Hubbard & the Moonchild—occult history meets pop culture
• Golden Dawn binaries vs. broader esoteric lenses
• The Kybalion’s authorship and why “all truths are half-truths”
• Dropping labels to keep the search alive
