  1. I've wanted my own starship to explore the galaxy ever since I watched Navigator as a kid. Still have a copy in my bookshelf and watch it often.

  2. Magicians… constellating… I love it. I was confronting many, perhaps all of these issues, during the last few days. It was challenging, an exercise in space/time/mind/self. Discipline, decomposition, humility, pride. Lots for me meditate on, to constellate with. The appearance of this discussion in my feed is timely 🙏🏽

  3. This New Land aka Disney Land
    Disney needed to make men cry by tricking their brains into thinking flickering images were somehow real and initiate a emotional response.
    They succeeded beyond their wildest psychological imaginations!

  4. I really do appreciate your spirited and intelligent videos. This particular movie was unknown to me beforehand. I was ten when I first saw the first Stars Wars movie in my hometown in northern Finland. By that time I had fallen in love with Asimov, Clarke, Le Quinn, Verne, Heinlein, the lot. My path led to poetry and music, Jung, mysticism and a career as a performer who propably influenced a generation of starry eyed introverts, some of who had a tad of warrior in them also. Now, nearing my sixties I look forward to a yet undefined transformation in ways you outline in this video. It is a painful process.

  5. the "shaman" needs to come back from the otherworld, bring back his imaginal gatherings to the community .. there is no choice, even if it takes a lifetime. Terence*

  6. 19:18 You’re onto something here. FANTASTIC 20 minutes I just spent listening to you distill the Magus to us, fantastic development of this incredible story. You recently mentioned Excalibur and because of that I’ll share with you that my CloseEncounter experience involved a ship which is best described by me as a sister ship to the one in 1986’s Flight Of The Navigator.

    ART IMITATES LIFE. None other than Ridley Scott put the structural shape of the REAL UFO ship I encountered at the end of the 10th episode of the 2020 HBO show Raised By Wolves. Flight of the Navigator is a prophetic film, it is an inspiration and a VALIDATION. Thank you for mentioning it and making it a part of your journey, the TriMaxian ship builders I would say are REAL, they communicate TELEPATHICALLY. For Real.

  7. For those in need of new sci-fi (you still read books right?) I don't think they could go wrong with something like Pandoras Star & sequel Judas Unchained by Peter F Hamilton. (actually with a lot of his series) Covers a lot of basis in sci-fi we are much in need of for spectacle and something original that we completely fail to get just now. Myself I'd pay big money to watch those if they were ever created.💢

  8. George Lucas gets way to much credit… His ex wife edited the first SW movies, he stole the credit but you can see how crappy the other SW movies were without her ☝️
