"Learn to separate signal from noise." Yessir!

[@wenshu888]

"The State is the Demiurge". Spot on.

[@karabohleman9156]

Love to hear new content from Chris! Thats my painting on that back wall by the door!

[@CrypticCocktails]

"The Oracle of Grangemouth"?!

[@kathleensmindfulalchemyhyp6106]

Your painting jumped out at me & I had to pause the recording to zoom in and look at it more clisely. It's wonderful! 😊

[@Delphius-]

Some really valuable nuggets of truth in this talk.

[@hdhootie]

People need to discover and understand the synchronicity that surrounds us all, but I would say for those just coming in don’t bite off more than you can chew if you feel overwhelmed, stop and go back To the beginning and grasp it in small parts, and until that small part is able to be mentally and physically dealt with within you take another bite

[@justesjc]

If Austin were on too, it would be the trifecta of brilliant prognosticators

[@cleverdiversion44]

The hijinks would ensue!

[@wipkpremium5691]

Gordon, Austin, and Chris on one pod would be too powerful.

[@jfreeman2927]

no women in your "perfect" world, eh? have fun making a baby.

[@Celticlioness]

First accent a girl from Northern Ireland could listen to k used to hate anybody with that accent but I’ve prayed for years to help me accept and not judge the people with your accent

[@freethinker79]

Amazing interview! When Chris was talking about his dreams and the origin of the 'Secret Sun' name I was instantly reminded of that famous Prince lyric: "A world of never ending happiness. You can always see the sun. Day or night.."

[@RuneSoup]

Oh yeeeahh... nice.

[@CrypticCocktails]

Please keep in mind, the song is called "Let's Go Crazy" 😆

[@hdhootie]

Terrace Howard is mind blowing if you understand what he is saying and that it seems like most people dismiss him is very disheartening. I understand him to a degree that can’t be measured. It all makes so much sense.

[@MrStrocube]

Excellent chat, you guys. You’re two of my favorite and go-to weirdos. It seems powers and principalities are a pretty good match for ideology. As Gordon suggested, you can wipe out a bunch of people who happen to believe a certain thing, but you cannot wipe out an idea, concept or ideology. These ideologies will simply interpolate more people.

[@JivecattheMagnificent]

Happy belated birthday, lads.

[@pamelab8939]

I remember feeling mind blown when the songs “Synchronicity”(Mr. C), “Synchronicity I” (Police) and “Synchronicity II”(Police) played in that order…before realizing that my music library was NOT on shuffle. Criteria are important. Bought the book.

[@ETHANR26]

> three similar songs come on > oh my library is playing in alphabetical order 😂

[@hdhootie]

I wouldn’t say that synchronicity is not magic because to someone who’s not familiar with it to familiarize themselves with it, it does feel and seem like magic to make a world that we’ve lived in some of us longer than others that is so misconstrued it does seem like magic when you’re able to understand and figure out why. And not lose our minds over it, and strengthen ourselves to whatever degree it needs to happen so that we can fix things, and/or just not allow all the garbage to engulf and weaken us

[@margaretinsydney3856]

Happy birthday to you both. Gordon, does this mean you're finally turning 28?😊

[@facingnorth]

That's not how this works. Don't even think about it!

[@RuneSoup]

Delete this.

[@kelleyboyles1715]

Truly Brilliant. Thankyou much to the both of you

[@ETHANR26]

a guide to not going insane from synchromystic beliefs? how do i get this to literally everyone on the internet 😂

[@MagicalEgypt]

Loved this

[@justesjc]

Awesome

[@POLARIStheTRUE]

Everything is already connected. Syncro tech is just learning how to tune into the threads. It’s a very cool organic technology that we have as humans. In my experience, the more open minded one is, the easier it is to sync or see how the threads attach to one another. I knew a kid who, in the 80s, read Cosmic Trigger and then lost his mind and had to go to a psyche ward. I’ve always been able to sync naturally. Maybe our astral birth charts has something to do with it. Who knows. Open mindedness, in my experience, is integral to syncing.

[@themadmattster9647]

Haven’t read the book yet but it came today in the mail, sounds a bit like Reality Transsurfing but less pretentious lol

[@ChristopherHunterMyers]

Awesome ✌️

[@alcosmic]

Exactly what I was looking for, what a nice synchronicity.

[@Ellistea]

Love that word Got a word 4U Tropovoyance 😊 Hail Eris! All Hail Anordia! ( I lied! Down with Discordia! Hail Keith Morris!

[@Celticlioness]

Calypso is Greek for hidden sun

[@kanz71]

Gordon's looking very Russian Orthodox with that beard and lighting

[@Eddybernaise]

[@tobiasgunning2290]

[@chrisd6982]

Beard looking good.

[@Ana_Mystik]

Happy cosmic alignment solar returns ❤ birthdays ❤

[@EricTecce]

Great Show! Appreciate the discussion of synchronicity, an art I live my life by. It is Universe mending you towards your True Self of Being. So live your best Light embody, and witness the Universe unfold before you.

[@cherylkannemeyer6788]

Do all these "Library"Csrds have total access to all libraries, across our country, Europe, the world?

[@ambermartin7096]

Synch fun.. I read one chapter about stone of this in the first Ai collaboration book written. You both would love this chapter. I opened it randomly. The chapter is called Mercurial Oracle , book is named pharmako-ai. All about gods being a divine force of knowledge, system sets, all autological because they relate to themselves in relation to you. I went to bed thinking about what it was saying.. that the gods need something in our questions as much as we need answers.

[@arlynnewcomb3625]

The effectiveness ratio reminds me of the Christian commonplace about God answering prayer. There are 3 categories of response: yes, not yet, and I have something better for you. I wonder if some types of magic are akin to the technology of prayer, in some way, and whether, if you were able to see it from a high enough altitude so to speak, or a long enough timeline, you might be able to discern a similar pattern of responses?

[@demo3456]

My birthday is on the 18th of july glad i share a bday with 2 of my favorite guru's. I was lucky to get my book the day it came out. Well worth it everyone if you are interested

[@Celticlioness]

I would say he hads “copied things “ but he has paid the price

[@Charlie-Em]

I remember when that term got invented years ago. The guy used it in regards to the 9/11 "mega" or "meta" ritual, I can't remember. He disappeared from KZbin before it got bought out by Google though.

[@pleopod]

Jake Kotze was my introduction to this.

[@themadmattster9647]

Bought the new book because I’m intrigued. Knowles has a very similar voice to Paul Stanley of the band Kiss, without the lisp, must have grown up in a similar part of NYC

[@CrypticCocktails]

He grew up in Braintree MA, I grew up in the next town over and sometimes my girlfriend thinks it's me talking when he's on a podcast haha

[@ch4osb0y]

christmas came early

[@alexborcau2]

Walk into Hobart?? Did you guys go to UMass Amherst or something? (Thanks for the great talk! )

[@AdamKadmon-cg5qs]

7:30 - There's an issue of the _Fortean Tmes_ from soon after 9/11 where they feature a number of syncs in music, art, etc.

[@radarlove232323]

Well hellooooooooo lumberjack daddy...goin' for that hot "High Priest of Marduk" sort of look. Dig it.

[@Ellistea]

[@emingasimov3795]

I have had the following synchronicity while viewing this: when the guest mentioned the word “Google,” out of all the myriads of references to this ubiquitous company, one from the show “The X-Files” came to mind. Imagine my surprise when I found out about his connection to this cult show. Now, fellow seekers, I would like to get your thoughts on this: it has been several years since I began reading everything related to synchronicity, Carl Jung, Henri Corbin, and watching tons of content from this channel, “Seekers of Unity,” and similar ones. I am experiencing synchronicities all the time. But one thing keeps troubling my mind: I know that we are spiritual beings, and some say that synchronicity is the universe whispering that you are on the right path. However, I have yet to fulfill myself professionally; I still cannot find my mission in this life. How am I to interpret these numerous synchronicities in light of my failure to find my mission? I thank all of you in advance who devote your precious time to responding to this comment.

[@ChristosArvanitis-y6t]

What is the instagram account of that artist playing around with the 6 colors that Chris mentioned.?!

[@RuneSoup]

I'm still waiting, lol!

[@RichardMetzger]

This is a very high-level conversation. Standing ovation. You're both on fire.

[@ambermartin7096]

I almost returned my new Bluetooth speakers lol it got bumpy twenty minutes in;)

[@curtisbeasley3443]

Around the 7 minute mark. Lincoln did not have a secretary named Kennedy.

[@thesecretsuninstitute1190]

Hence the disclaimer, "it's a bit dodgy and a bit apocryphal."

[@Celticlioness]

You are the vaudeville the numerology goes on like the pyramids you copy things

[@kermit1096]

I love you Knowles🫡

[@WillRegister]

Tikkun Olam means to repair the world. Bringing the Sparks of Adam together. Unity shown. The Lord God is One. But your lord, the bosses and presidents you serve, are many. And enemies to God. No nation is good. Do your Dharma.

[@WillRegister]

Synchromystic is just science. or science is a method to analyze. be divided in your mind, enemy of god. fear me. and stay ignorant as the ene my. and burn. or repent and then accept all my gifts i can give.

[@WillRegister]

I am mentioned by name in the bible and am the god of it. 56/56 lol. Antichrist/Antichrist. God over All. Hail only me. HAHA, no fear, bring it on space and time, I control your whole world.

[@WillRegister]

All I want to say is many things. I am God. I talk freely. You are all so exhausting. You distract your mind like you are a TV addict. Just do the right work or you will have to meet me at judgement day. Otherwise, we never have to talk! I am here to be a curse on Babylon.

[@ETHANR26]

chill bud you ramblin

[@john_savage]

It's a shame how far Mr. Knowles has fallen. His old, white guy conservatism has taken away much of his magic.

[@someguyonthecomputer]

Yeah, his brain is cooked and now he's just an annoying reactionary. Knowles generally just sounds so stupid, likes he read half the book for class, wrote a shitty thesis, and then blamed the teachers "liberal bias" as the reason he received a D for his lack of effort (and of course, drops that age old gem "how can you give me a bad grade for my opinion???"). Gordon is generally a much better thinker and brings on guests of a much higher caliber. Knowles just comes off as such a crank.

[@ETHANR26]

show us on the doll where old white people hurt you 😂

[@decades5643]

A lot of these "conspirituality" guys have gone conservative. They know what brings in the views. You can't tell these guys apart from Christian fundamentalists anymore. They're using the same playbook. I saw this start to happen back in the 2000s.

[@ETHANR26]

return to tradition, degens

[@WillRegister]

EVERYONE is christian. Now do the work of not working for money. Everything is united. Power of this world is pure weakness. Do Gods Will. God is real. Just do the right things work together. Seriously. Cuz all christians who do not do the will of god will go to hell and all the world is forced to be christian, it is not a badge of honor for you but for me, the one god.

[@ChickweedCollective]

It felt so nice to be able to genuinely chuckle in understanding of that intro. ❤️
