Freemason here, the oto is not affiliated with us. Oto is not “Masonic”. Crowley and an ex mason “borrowed” a bunch of stuff from rituals that really aren’t done any more. This isn’t unusual as John Smith did the same with Mormonism.

I've been watching your videos since the very start, and glad to see you're still going! Looking forward to seeing more, even if you take your time with them.

It's kinda pathetic and tragically funny that the result of his ultimate spiritual undertaking was basically "i will try to be a normal and productive member of society."

This documentary is without doubt one of the best I’ve watched and I’ve watched plenty being 67 years old! The amount of research and effort put into this can not be ignored you deserve all the plaudits and more! I new a little about Jack Parsons involvement with the occult from listening to Robert Anton Wilson but had no idea it went this deep. Once again thank you for your efforts in the making of this and giving me such fascinating enjoyment! 🙏

It's crazy how otherwise successful and intelligent people can become involved in such wacky nonsense. It's not that hard: grow a garden, go for walks, watch the sun set, learn how to crochet. The best life is a quiet one of simple pleasures which can endure for decades.

In the end, when you're an apprentice of a sodomite and drug junkie sweaty slippery hands is something that you begin to take for granted. Kids, remember jacking off and inducing substances does not expand your counciousness – it kinda shrinks it to a point when you'd stop understandig the idea of counciosness and how ideas work.

I had a friend when I was younger who would introduce me to this stuff, he would contrast us as himself as Crowley and Myself as Parsons. We played those roles glady in our lives for a time. I started sinking deep into these impulses and substances. they wanted to be famous and I wanted to die. Its a maddening thing to be a creative sucked into this. You begin to reduce yourself, convinced of some self fulfilling prophecy. I began creating very strange art. Being hedonistic. I cradhed three cars. they convinced me it was prophecy. I didn't know any better I became obsessed with this narrative. then one day out of the blue it all stopped… decided I had to leave who I was with. I was alone. I was alone. I felt like a fish trying to swim across continents I didn't know what to do. but I grew strong. I saw the limits of these sorts of things I stopped relying on these hormonal narcissistic magic playing tricks. I drew outward instead of inward. but I did believe in something sacred and then that saved me. It's hard not to think about that when I see Parsons. How little choice he had in his journey. so much promise. how much this Crowley hack loomed over my formative years. gotta keep in mind for someone like this how a will can bend and be stolen by others. we forget what is outside ourselves. We forget stillness, and when we can change these delusions into a love that does not possess. A beautiful video. very well researched

I wonder if Jack Parsons was related to Alan Parsons-maybe his father?

As someone who's been to several Gnostic Masses and studied the occult extensively, I find this presentation to he better than most. Subbed.

He was a human pincushion for Alister. Jack chugged gallons from his master. All that Sex Magic and LSD, ole Jacky boy was so naughty.

What's with all of these "overnight popularity" youtube channels with slick editing, etc re-hashing taboo topics and heavily guarded stories? The same stories that were covered better by suppressed/banned/censored YooToob channels over these past 5 years. Now these channels are gone and stuff like this , magically appear 'POOF' !!, imited covering the story. Trash.
