Here are the links to Part 1 and Part 2 of my three part online lecture series on Esotericism and the Evolution of Consciousness, given to the Theosophical Society in London, and based on The Secret Teachers of the Western World. Part 3 will be up sometime later this month or early next.
Here’s a link to my talk for the Explorers Club on “Trickle Down Metaphysics and the Goldilocks Theory of History.” The essay on which the talk is based is available here, on this site, or at academia.edu
Here’s another link, to a talk about the Silver Age I gave to a class in the Department of Slavic and Eurasian Studies at the University of Texas at Austin. I was delighted that they were interested enough in my book The Return of Holy Russia to ask me to speak. The students were very engaged and their questions showed it.
The fund drive to finance the making of Dreaming to Some Purpose: The Life and Time of Colin Wilson, a much needed documentary about Wilson’s life and ideas, is still on and needs your help. We have less than a month left and so far have raised only a fraction of what we need. If you’ve ever enjoyed any of Wilson’s books or any of mine, please contribute what you can and pass the link on to others who might also do so. It would be a true shame for this not to happen. I don’t have to tell you that Wilson is one of the most important thinkers about consciousness in recent times and his ideas and insights need to be saved for posterity. I’ve done my bit: I’ve written a book about him. Now you can do yours.
One last item: a new recording by my son, the maestro. He too is a struggling artist. It runs in the family.
I adore your books, a number of which I own and have read, and Colin Wilson has been a great influence on me from my first reading of ‘The Outsider’. I’ll be glad to spread the word on this.
Many thanks!
Gary-i would like to hear your take on today’s events. You saw it coming.
Extraordinary and deeply saddening. But to be honest, I’m surprised it isn’t worse. But then, the party isn’t quite over yet.
Good point.
Hoping for an esoteric REVOLUTION… that will help us ‘as a species’ to ‘get our act together’….
