Listening to a few of his videos, largely on American Politics, how we (because ours are heading in the same direction) got to where we are, and how we can implement far-reaching and reasonable change.
Of extra-relevance, given our reduced earnings, skyrocketing groceries/rental bills, and - of course, the unending Ferry Strike, which is definitely a harbinger of things to come.
He's good, a long-time left leaning activist with a reasonable and informed approach - something you don't come across very often in politics nowadays...

Painting, or doing my experiments, and it helps to take my mind off the job at hand. The radio, unreliable, and so I find YouTube podcasts/interviews/lectures, etc.
The first one, an interview with the "Smartest Man In The World", a different smartest man than the last one. And so I give it a listen and then when he begins his gushing admiration of Trump and talk about the new world order, Angels and Demons, Multidimensional Universe, etc, etc, well, I have to give it up and question seriously his credentials. I mean, there's only so much I can take in a sitting.
But I discover this - the telepathy tapes, which to summarize (I'm not quite done the first season) - argues that non-verbal & autistic children are naturally telepathically/psychically gifted...
Well, I'm not necessarily buying this either, but it does make you think. And after all, we do live in a world where anything can happen...

And, with all my theosophy and woo-woo listening on YouTube he was bound to come up.
This is good. There is, for some reason, an increasing abundance of his lectures and books being made available online.
On the downside, they're largely old-timey recordings of seminars and lectures that he's given.
His voice, shrill, there's the underlying static, hiss of audio, he's a pedant, and not in a bad way. You have to respect his immense learning and accomplishments. He's wise, curious, and - more important - he has the answers, and where he doesn't he doesn't pretend.
He is, for the last century as well as our own, an Occidental master.
The lectures that I've listened to so far; on integrity, or why we should change ourselves and not our leaders (when we've changed ourselves we can better become our leaders - leadership is but a deflection for our own bad behavior), on "Secret Powers, and why we should not use them" - and here, here he has good answers. This is the Bible retold, but with an explanation - that to open these doors and go down these roads oft leads to forks and paths of no return, and that - while there are many things we do not know (and he's referring to mediumship, telepathy, false gurus) we have guides at our disposal that DO work and should not need to resort to them...and perhaps - most curious, a learned thing for me - that the oldest, the most ancient of all prayers - regardless of culture/religion/ - were to offer praise and gratitude to God/Gods/Deities/Spirits. There were no petitions, no intercessions, no - none of it.
There was simply the expression of thanks for the divine privilege of being.
Now, I've been down so many of these rabbit holes that I'm going to be forced to back-track and see who he contradicts, if any (and - probably not; these views are debauched Catholicism, Christianity. He's right without question, and intuitively we are of the same mind, not that mine is as great, merely that it's been informed by his and agrees, I can find no argument...), that every action or thought - no matter how trivial, should be considered in light of it's consequences upon others.
This, never harder than now, but he's right. Of course he's right.
Oh, and BTW, if you didn't know, he's Canadian. Or was.
Back to my listening. "An Alphabet of Dream Symbols - Studies in Dream Symbolism".
Search him out.

Found myself listening to a lot of him lately.
He's well reasoned, reassuring, the recordings of him on YouTube vary greatly - from his younger self to older, he speaks simply and eloquently on the greater mysteries of life.
In the absence of intelligent company there's always the internet...
