Zap Oracle SteamCast#19 - Time and Tolkien's ElvesTime and Tolkien’s ElvesNote: Most of the following concerns time, but in the first section, I introduce Tolkien’s elf mythology in the lord of the rings which is often counter intuitive to people who have seen the movies, and even for those who have read the trilogy. In the ring trilogy Tolkien vividly describes particular elf characters as so exemplary and heroic that it often comes as a surprise to discover in his notes and letters that Tolkien considers the elves as almost developmentally disabled. The first section explains Tolkien’s ambivalent and paradoxical view o...

It was a beautiful day with Colorado's glorious high-altitude lighting and unseasonably warm temperatures. The metaphorical weather, however, was out of synch with the actual weather because there were dark, storm clouds massing on the personal horizon of my old friend. John is facing a life-threatening health crisis, and the main purpose of my visit was to record the long...

Zap Oracle SteamCast#26 - Mind Parasites, Energy Parasites and VampiresThe term was coined by British scholar of the occult Colin Wilson in his science fiction novel of ideas entitled The Mind Parasites, written in 1967. The novel is alternately fascinating and silly, spinning out of control with over-caffeinated egomania, and much of the "science" in the science fiction would seem absurd to anyone who didn't sleep through their high school biology class. In fairness, Colin Wilson intentionally wrote the book in a hallucinatory, Lovecraftian mode, and HP Lovecraft is actually mentioned throughout the book as a visionary who, in the feverish depths of his imagination, tapped into secrets of...

Prophecy and the idea of an end time are examined from the perspective of Jungian psychology and the "singularity archetype" is introduced. John Major Jenkins (author of nine books on the Maya) talks about the Mayan calendar and his discoveries about the meaning of 2012 and the cycle of galactic alignment recognized by a number of cultures.
