Topic: Maat

Chad Stemke describes the Gateway Arch in St. Louis as a symbolic "Rainbow Bridge" between realms, featuring a hidden ritual process for visitors. He compares a former Mark Twain exhibit involving scales to the Egyptian "Weighing of the Heart" ceremony, where only the "light" are permitted to pass. Visitors then enter yellow pods, which Stemke interprets as "sun doors" or stargates that transport them to the top of the monument.

Ross Ben discusses the concept of "Maat" or universal law, suggesting that current social conditions are the result of ancestral actions and karma. He posits that the Jacobins may have had Moorish origins and encourages listeners to decode the architecture and symbols in their own environments. Philadelphia is described as a "knot of space-time" and a paranormal hotspot where the veil between eras is thin.

The discussion covers the history of the first OTO lodge in North Vancouver and its curriculum, which included Crowley's "The Psychology of Hashish." Bennett mentions Frater Achad's claim to have ushered in the Aeon of Maat in 1948, potentially superseding Crowley's Aeon of Horus. This historical thread is the subject of Bennett's upcoming book on cannabis in Thelema.
