And in celebration of 15,000 subs (wow!) I want express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you.
Thank you,
Collin

When could it ever be more exciting to craft theological and philosophical essays? 2024 has been a whirlwind of achievement, refinement, and recurrent storm winds of self critique.
Lesser natures are dying. Superior states are blossoming.
Out of all of the emanations of Infinity we have found ourselves Here and Now. I am with you. Let's make the most of it.
As this New Year begins I will be cycling through these beautiful works and finishing my first video of 2025 in January. There is SO much more ahead of us!

To celebrate 11,000 subs, it was an absolute treat to spend the last few days studying at the House of the Temple and touring other Masonic locations in Washington DC!
From seeing an original version of Ficino's Poemandres from 1493, to a 1799 original of Abe Barruel's work that documents the historic Illuminati, I was also able to scour some obscure Masonic texts which I will be using for the next video.
I also toured the Megiddo Mosaic (c. 230 AD), currently exhibited in the Museum of the Bible. It is the earliest known archeological evidence of a Christian worship hall which includes a reference to "God Jesus Christ," making it the earliest known site that professes a belief in the divinity of Jesus.
I would highly recommend seeing this if you find yourself in DC. It will not be available for long! Curiously enough, it showcases a Gammadion, and a suggestive symbol of Pisces.
I can't wait to share more! Thank you for your continued support, and especially to my patrons. I look forward to growing the quality of American Esoteric and refining the channel in all ways.

Our next video is tentatively scheduled for Thursday afternoon and is available now on Patreon! This will be the channel's longest video so far.
As we approach 10k subs, I bow and say thank you.
By late August, the channel will be one year old, and I am extremely pleased with its growth so far.
This one's for all of us who ponder the gods!

Lady Julian of Norwich, England, born 1343, was a devoted Christian mystic often remembered for being the earliest known female author in the English language.
In her book, The Revelations of Divine Love, she demonstrates her profound connection with the Christian tradition and her fearless will to achieve a mystic union with Christ.
In her own words, she desired to "suffer with Him" and appears to have asked for her physical sickness to achieve it, deeming it a gift from God.
When she was thirty years old, she turned ill, and for three days and nights, she lay sick, ready to die.
In tomorrow's video, I cover a few historical Near-Death Experiences overlayed with the modern criterion for NDEs.
Along with these stories, we will glimpse some extracts from the Tibetan Book of the Dead, Allogenes the Stranger, and the Pistis Sophia and hear from other figures of philosophy who help refine the categories of NDEs, especially those accounts in the Ancient World.

My next video will be setting off a series related to Hermes Trismegistus and the Corpus Hermeticum!
It would already be published if my voice didn't sound like I was speaking with sand in my throat.
I will be healing up ASAP and delivering you my personal favorite essay on the channel so far.
Thank you all for your support and patience.
Now as Hermes puts it, go "advance to life."

Two new videos are currently in the works!
One centers around the various unique doctrines and interpretations of REINCARNATION, with some quotes from famous philosophers and religious texts throughout the centuries.
The second continues our series on Cosmology.
When the subject matter is dense and I am challenged to go beyond my current understanding of a topic, I like to dive back into the sources, and alternative views, and take the time to provide a quality synopsis and commentary. I will do my best to upload soon!
Thank you all.

Studying the sources of ancient philosophy and comparative religion from prehistoric Egypt to the Middle Ages.
Expect us to:
1. Examine the religious movements around the Mediterranean from ca. 3,500 BCE to ca. 450 CE.
2. Revisit megalithic structures to address the existence of lost, ancient knowledge.
3. Question the established narratives of organized religion.
4. Categorize the sources of mythological concepts and measure their similarities around the world.
5. Build a broad perspective of ancient historians and philosophers through an analysis of their writings.
