Topic: Dogon

Gordon White revisits Robert Temple's "The Sirius Mystery," defending it against claims of being a hoax. He discusses the Dogon tribe's inexplicable knowledge of the Sirius star system, including the existence of Sirius C and the relative masses of the stars. White argues that this "redundant complexity"—information useless to an agrarian culture—is a primary indicator of extra-planetary or spirit-led contact.

Dana Kippel explores the plasma context within ancient cosmologies, such as the Australian Aboriginal "Dream Time" and Sumerian myths of Tiamat. She interprets the Hindu figures of Shiva and Shakti as representations of consciousness and plasma, respectively. Kippel suggests that ancient cultures lived in a more fluid, plasmatic reality before consciousness separated from plasma to undergo a period of growth.

The conversation shifts to the nature of spiritual information, comparing mediumship to indigenous knowledge and extraterrestrial encounters. Reference is made to the Dogon tribe's advanced astronomical knowledge of Sirius B, which they attribute to spirits. One theory suggests that instead of individual spirits, there is a field of infinite information that practitioners tap into, sometimes resulting in random or obscure data dumps. This "information dump" pattern is observed across various paranormal phenomena, from seances to alien abductions.

The guest explains reincarnation as a process where the bioplasma of the aura recombines with the ionosphere before evolving into new forms. He references Laird Scranton’s work on the Dogon and Maori models, where two realities oscillate closer together and further apart. The current era is seen as a transition toward a more apparent connection between these realms.

Greg Carlwood and the guests discuss how indigenous cultures like the Dogon possess advanced cosmological knowledge without modern laboratory science. They argue that Western anthropology often dismisses these insights as superstition rather than recognizing a direct connection to a "field" or the Akashic Record. The guests suggest that Egyptian mythology is a formalization of this direct contact with universal intelligence.

Greg Carlwood reflects on the interview, expressing his fascination with the MRI correlation to the Baphomet image. He reiterates the connection between the guests' work and Dr. Joanna Cuyahva’s research on Kundalini. Carlwood also praises the analogy of the nightly sleep routine as a form of temple ritual and discusses how the modern world is designed to distract from these natural avenues of exploration.

Greg Carlwood introduces guest Ross Ben, a recurring mystic and "space weatherman" from Philadelphia, to provide an astrological forecast for 2022. The discussion is framed as a modern alternative to Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Fireside Chats, aimed at navigating current societal frustrations. The segment previews topics including the 12-month cosmic outlook and indigenous wisdom from Ben's new book, Knowledge of the Nomo: The Dogon Decoded.

The conversation shifts to Ross Ben's new book, Knowledge of the Nomo, which decodes the sacred wisdom of the Dogon people of Mali. The Dogon gained international fame in 1965 for their accurate knowledge of the Sirius star system, including the existence of the white dwarf Sirius B, long before modern telescopes confirmed it. Ben argues that their cosmology provides a comprehensive map of the galaxy that transcends modern astrophysical understanding.

A brief recap of the second-hour content covers Dogon perspectives on extraterrestrial groups, including potential correlations between their myths and modern concepts of Pleiadians and Reptilians. The Dogon cosmology also includes unique stories regarding the origin of the moon and the role of the Nomo as spiritual helpers. The host expresses his appreciation for learning about "unplugged" societies that maintain ancient, complex information.

Ross Ben explains Dogon cosmology regarding Po Pilu, a dark star companion to our sun that radiates heat and gravity rather than visible light. He describes the relationship between Sirius B and the solar system, suggesting our sun has an elliptical orbit around this companion. A forthcoming book titled Knowledge of the Nomo will further detail these binary star system dynamics.

The discussion considers how similar spiritual knowledge, such as the use of Ayahuasca or astronomical data, appears in isolated cultures. McIntosh suggests "morphic resonance" or spirit communication as alternatives to physical migration. The segment also briefly touches on the "Tall Whites" in ufology and their resemblance to Hyperborean legends.

Independent researcher Laird Scranton returns to discuss his seventh book, Decoding Maori Cosmology, which examines the indigenous culture of New Zealand. The research utilizes comparative cosmology to synchronize traditions across African, Egyptian, Vedic, and Polynesian cultures. The investigation focuses on how ancient symbols and languages serve as a code for understanding human history and the origins of civilization.

Laird Scranton traces a global tradition beginning around 10,000 BC at Göbekli Tepe in southeastern Turkey. This region shows the simultaneous emergence of cultivated seeds, metalworking, and animal husbandry, which Scranton suggests indicates an instructed tradition rather than independent development. The lineage is tracked through the Shakti cult in India and eventually into the Dogon tribe of West Africa, suggesting a shared philosophical root.

The Dogon creation tradition describes the formation of matter in ways that mirror modern astrophysics found in the works of Stephen Hawking and Brian Greene. Scranton discusses the Ether Physics Model as a way to explain dimensions and constants that science often treats as "blind spots." The segment highlights how esoteric traditions address phenomena like dark matter and particle symmetry that conventional materialist science struggles to define.

Buddhist and Dogon traditions describe the universe as a set of seven pairs of parallel dimensions structured like a helix. This cosmology posits a fluctuating cycle of energy between non-material and material realms, functioning similarly to the natural water cycle on Earth. This movement of forces, described as a dipole oscillation, is considered essential for the existence of life and the maintenance of the universal structure.

Dogon and Buddhist priests utilize "noble lies" or public fibs to protect technical knowledge, such as the 50-year orbital period of the Sirius star system. While public Buddhism claims creation is unknowable, the esoteric private tradition teaches that universal dynamics are perfectly knowable and scale upward. This framework reportedly resolves modern scientific paradoxes like quantum entanglement and wave-particle duality by viewing them through the lens of ancient cosmological mechanics.

The host previews the second hour of the interview for Plus members, which includes discussions on the Egyptian King's List, the Hollow Earth theory, and Dogon numerology. Details are provided regarding the upcoming "Joint Sessions" video call-in shows intended to foster listener interaction. The episode concludes with a summary of upcoming shows and the traditional closing music, "Mr. Spaceman."

The conversation covers the collaboration between Stephen Strong and researcher Laird Scranton regarding the translation of the Kariong Glyphs. Scranton's analysis suggests the inscriptions contain a secret, scientific language related to vibration and gravity, with links to the Dogon tribe's traditions. Strong notes that while some glyphs are clearly Proto-Egyptian, others represent an older, universal language that may be prophetic in nature.

Greg Carlwood introduces guest Laird Scranton, an expert in reconstructing ancient cosmologies and cross-cultural mythologies. The host announces the launch of a new website for The Higher Side Chats, which includes a free one-week trial for the THC+ subscription service. The upcoming discussion is framed around the Dogon tribe's advanced knowledge and the controversial theories of Immanuel Velikovsky regarding the history of the solar system.

Laird Scranton, an independent software engineer and author, joins the program to discuss his decade-long study of ancient myths and language. The conversation focuses on the Dogon tribe of Africa and their sophisticated understanding of the universe, which challenges mainstream academic paradigms. Scranton references his books, including The Science of the Dogon and Velikovsky Heresies, as the foundation for exploring how ancient cultures possessed knowledge that rivals modern science.
