  • Archons (Commanders) [NOTICE: They Are NOT Anlien Parasites], and Then, in a Mirror Image of the Great Emanations of the Pleroma, Hundreds of Lesser Angels
    A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES WATCH THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO UFOs, Aliens, and the Question of Contact MUST-SEE THE OCCULT REASON FOR PSYCHOPATHY Organic Portals: Aliens and Psychopaths KNOWLEDGE THROUGH GNOSIS Boris Mouravieff - GNOSIS IN THE BEGINNING ...1 The Gnostic core belief was a strong dualism: that the world of matter was deadening and inferior to a remote nonphysical home, to which an interior divine spark in most humans aspired to return after death. This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.

  • Surprising Revelations: Intimacies in the Letters Between Charles W
    1 “Surprising Revelations: Intimacies in the Letters Between Charles W. Eliot, George B. Dorr & John D. Rockefeller Jr.” Ronald H. Epp, Ph.D. Jesup Memorial Library August 10, 2016 Earlier this year I proposed to Ruth Eveland several topics for a centennial presentation at the Jesup Memorial Library. The topic of intimacies in the letters of the most prominent park founders was strongly preferred. This is not a subject I discussed in my biography of George B. Dorr. Indeed, preparation of this talk forced my reopening of research materials which proved more challenging than I expected. I needed relaxation after fifteen years of research and writing, not re-immersion in the difficult craft of writing. But the topic was rich in potential and like Mr. Dorr I embrace the notion of persistence. So here I am in mid-August in one of four surviving island physical structures that bear the design imprint of Mr. Dorr (the others being Oldfarm’s Storm Beach Cottage, the park office at COA, and the park Abbe Museum). I am not here to talk about external manifestations of Dorr’s impact; nor will I enter here into the emphasis that other local historians have given to the differences between Dorr, Eliot, and Rockefeller. Frankly, my research has shown that their personalities were more similar than the dissimilarities promoted by Sargent Collier, R.W. Hale Jr., Judith S. Goldstein, and H. Eliot Foulds. All of us agree lon one point, however, that these park founders appreciate the achievements of one another, exchanged ideas, offered 2 encouragement, and expressed candid feelings about a wide array of topics.

  • SWPACA 2019 Final Program
    Southwest Popular/American Culture Association 40th Annual Conference February 20-23, 2019 — Albuquerque, New Mexico Welcome & 2019 Southwest Popular/American General Info Culture Association Conference ¡Bienvenidos a Albuquerque! We are so pleased to have you with us this week! In 1979, Michael Schoenecke and Peter Rollins began an adventure, founding the Southwest/Texas Popular/American Culture Association and establishing the annual meeting, an event which has continued for forty years and brings us all together this week in Albuquerque. In these decades, thousands of scholars have joined their colleagues in the study and celebration of popular culture, some as first-time conference-goers, others as established scholars in their respective fields. All have contributed to the strength of this conference and organization, and we are honored to have you with us as we celebrate this milestone. This week, we will be reflecting on the foundations upon which the organization, and popular culture studies more broadly, were founded, and we will be looking ahead to the future of the Southwest Popular/American Culture Association, which we trust will be equally long and successful. Please join us Thursday evening at 6:00pm (Grand Pavilion VI) at the annual Peter C. Rollins Book Award and Student Awards Ceremony, where long-time members of the association will share their thoughts on the state of popular culture studies and where we will recognize the next generation of scholars and their work. We are additionally pleased to welcome Pam Houston, author of Cowboys Are My Weakness and the recently-released Deep Creek, among other works, as our conference Keynote speaker, Friday at 7:00pm, following our annual Fire and Ice Reception/40th Anniversary Celebration in Grand Pavilion IV-VI.
