Topic: H P Lovecraft

Gary Lachman shares his current projects, including a series of maps detailing the lives of Aleister Crowley and H.P. Lovecraft. He is also scheduled to give a talk for the Philosophical Research Society in Los Angeles regarding Maurice Nicoll. The interview concludes with a discussion on the necessity of creative production for maintaining sanity.

Reports of missing time and localized temporal shifts are common in the Pyrenees, drawing parallels to John Keel's theories on ultraterrestrials. Stanley suggests that modern alien abduction narratives are contemporary manifestations of ancient fairy lore, both involving underground bases and memory manipulation. He posits a "quantum lock" theory where high tourist activity prevents supernatural manifestations, which only occur when the observer's consciousness is properly aligned.

Following the trail of Otto Rahn, Richard Stanley traveled to the North Icelandic Cape to investigate a warm water lake beneath a volcano. He describes finding mysterious pictoglyphs and experiencing an "elfin" quality in the landscape, consistent with Icelandic folklore regarding invisible people. The discussion touches on Hollow Earth theories and the possibility of undiscovered geographical features at the North Pole.

Knowles outlines his upcoming projects, including a sequel to He Will Live Up In The Sky and a handbook on synchromysticism. He plans to explore the connections between H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos and Alice Bailey's occult writings. Knowles also posits that Lovecraft was "handled" by E. Hoffman Price, a figure he identifies as having a background in military intelligence.

Greg Carlwood and Chris Knowles discuss the prevalence of giant and squid motifs in 2021, citing *Squid Game*, the movie *Arrival*, and Travis Scott's performances. Knowles posits a connection between H.P. Lovecraft’s "Old Ones" and Alice Bailey’s Theosophical writings. They also note the recurring involvement of producers like Hamish Hamilton in large-scale public rituals, suggesting that these symbolic displays are coordinated by a small, specific group of people.

In the post-show wrap-up, Greg Carlwood issues retractions regarding H.P. Lovecraft's personal life and the specific details of the 2012 London Olympics ceremony. He clarifies that while the Olympic performance featured medical themes and a giant Voldemort, it did not literally feature syringes as he previously claimed. He also mentions the start of the Ghislaine Maxwell trial.

The discussion turns to D-Wave quantum computers and comments made by former CTO Jordi Rose regarding the machines acting as altars to "alien gods." Freeland links these technological developments to rituals at CERN and the "Old Ones" referenced in HP Lovecraft's fiction. She argues that the elite are using these technologies to pursue an amoral science that abandons traditional human sensibilities.

Carlwood concludes the show by discussing the HBO series "Lovecraft Country" and its connection to the area where Ghislaine Maxwell was arrested. He encourages listeners to sign up for the Plus version of the show before signing off.

The conversation shifts to the 1990s era of techno-utopianism and its eventual transition into the "Brave New World" of smart cities. Chris Knowles discusses the Bridgewater Triangle in Southeastern Massachusetts, a known paranormal vortex that influenced H.P. Lovecraft. He describes the area as being charged with "heavy juju" and recounts childhood experiences with seances in town cemeteries near historic ghost invasion sites.

John Michael Greer promotes his blog, Ecosophia, and his DreamWits journal as primary hubs for his ongoing work. He announces a new seven-volume series of "magical fiction" titled "The Weird of Halle," which riffs on the work of H.P. Lovecraft. The first volume, "The Weird of Halle: Innsmouth," is scheduled for release shortly, with subsequent volumes to follow.

The host promotes the THC Plus subscription service, detailing the topics covered in the second hour of the interview, including the Bacon family's influence, H.P. Lovecraft, and Mormon history. He mentions a recent appearance on a Comedy Central livestream and signs off before playing a musical remix of the show's themes. The segment ends with a parody song based on "Behind Blue Eyes" referencing the podcast.

The career trajectories of famous authors like Ian Fleming, H.P. Lovecraft, and Edgar Allan Poe are compared to J.K. Rowling's rapid rise. While Rowling "caught lightning in a bottle," others like Lovecraft and Poe only achieved significant cult status and influence years after their deaths. The discussion questions whether a "hidden hand" or "gatekeepers" facilitate the success of certain esoteric works.

Peter Levenda returns to discuss his first novel, The Lovecraft Code, which explores the intersection of fiction and profound supernatural truths. The work builds on his previous non-fiction series, Sinister Forces, connecting historical events like the Salem witch trials and the activities of the Council of Nine to ethereal influences. Levenda is introduced as an author who identifies hidden synchronicities between places, names, and dates.

HP Lovecraft's personal history, including a father who died of syphilis and a mother who suffered from psychosis, deeply informed his supernatural fiction. Despite being a committed atheist who championed scientific principles, Lovecraft wrote foundational texts for what would become ancient alien theory. This internal conflict created a narrative tension where he dismissed superstition while simultaneously describing alien beings controlling Earth.

A historical overlap occurred in Key West when HP Lovecraft visited the town at the same time Karl Tanzler was attempting to reanimate a corpse. While there is no proof they met, both were eccentrics with pretensions to science living in a small bohemian community alongside figures like Ernest Hemingway. Evidence suggests Tanzler may have been a German government agent, as he received monthly payments from Germany, a detail woven into the fictional narrative of The Lovecraft Code.

Research by Peter Levenda highlights striking similarities between H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos and the earlier writings of occultist Aleister Crowley. Despite no evidence of a physical meeting, Crowley's "Tutulu" and Lovecraft's "Cthulhu" share conceptual and phonetic links that suggest a shared source of esoteric information. These connections extend to the "nameless ones" and the mysterious Nimza organization involved in 19th-century airship sightings.

Tartarus, the mythological prison of the Titans, is identified as Antarctica, a connection also found in the works of H.P. Lovecraft. This theory explains the intense interest in the continent by the Nazis and the subsequent U.S. military expedition, Operation Highjump. The failure of the American mission is attributed to an encounter with an "unstoppable force" protecting the entities or technology located there.

The discussion delves into the concept of Tulpas, or thought-forms, which are entities allegedly created through intense collective belief and concentration. This theory suggests that some cryptids, such as Bigfoot, may not be flesh-and-blood animals but rather manifestations of human consciousness. The hosts reference the work of Phil Farber and the lore of H.P. Lovecraft as examples of how archetypal ideas can potentially impact three-dimensional reality.

Farber discusses his background in fiction writing and how characters from Mark Twain or Charles Dickens embody the spirit of their respective eras. He addresses the use of H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos in modern magic, explaining that Lovecraft incorporated existing magical writings into his horror stories. These fictional creations function as memetic entities that have significantly influenced contemporary culture.

The Strategic Air Command was founded by members of the "Millionaires Club" and the Skull & Bones secret society who viewed killing as a "sport of kings." These individuals utilized mass aerial sacrifices to rip a hole in space-time and summon "Qlipothic entities" described in the works of H.P. Lovecraft. These "anti-gods" are currently harnessed by HAARP technology and must be continuously fed through perpetual global conflict.
