Garden of Thought – Details, episodes & analysis

In this week's episode of Garden of Doom presents the Book of Black, we journey into the enigmatic world of the occult with our special guest, George "The Iceman." Hosted by PJ Black and co-host Jeff, this episode is a treasure trove of hidden knowledge, paranormal encounters, and spiritual insights that will leave you questioning the world around you.

George "The Iceman" is no stranger to the supernatural. His journey into the occult began over a decade ago when he experienced strange occurrences in a haunted house in Los Angeles. This encounter sparked his curiosity and led him to study the paranormal and the darker aspects of the occult, including rituals, magic, and possession. His extensive research and firsthand experiences make him a fascinating guest with a wealth of knowledge to share.

One of the key topics discussed in this episode is the concept of "loosh" energy. According to George, loosh is the spiritual currency that entities use to manifest their desires. This energy is harvested from the collective consciousness and emotions of people, often without their knowledge. George explains how this energy is used in various aspects of our lives, from music and movies to politics and even food.

The episode also delves into the power of sigils and solomonic magic. Sigil magic involves creating symbols to manifest specific desires, while solomonic magic is based on the teachings of King Solomon, who was said to have controlled demonic forces. George shares his insights into these practices and warns of the dangers associated with them.

For those looking to protect themselves from negative energies and the influence of the occult, George offers valuable advice. He emphasizes the importance of spiritual protection, raising your vibration, and being mindful of what you consume—both in terms of food and media. By staying positive, surrounding yourself with good energy, and being aware of the hidden symbols and messages around you, you can safeguard your energy and live a more fulfilling life.

The episode is not all about the dark side, though. George also highlights the presence of positive entities and archangels, such as Archangel Michael, who are there to guide and protect us. He encourages listeners to seek out these positive forces and to cultivate a sense of spirituality and connection with the divine.

Overall, this episode of Garden of Doom presents the Book of Black is a compelling exploration of the occult and its impact on our lives. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, George "The Iceman's" insights will give you plenty to ponder. So, tune in, open your mind, and discover the hidden knowledge that lies just beneath the surface of our everyday reality.

When he was in Middle School, John Barnwell was introduced to the work of Rudolf Steiner. This led to a life of reading, learning, studying and contemplation. He also managed the world's largest occult bookstore (The Mayflower) for years and was exposed to many works and many students and masters, He has written two books, both involving the path to higher wisdom. Discovering the Grail via the Grail Angel and the Akashic record. This path takes us to the Grail itself, the first Bishop of Athens, the Templars, Rosicrucians, Masons, H.P. Blavatsky, Aleister Crowley, Rudolf Steiner and others. How do the major arcana of Tarot fit in? What is a 22 fold stanza on the path to light? Can I pronounce Anthroposophia? Who is Hilarion? We only scratch the surface with this fountain of information, but there's a lot here.

Russ Farnsworth wants to fix our government. Specifically, the US government. He wants to remove hyperpartisonship, money and the undue influence of special interests. He also wants to re-install ethics. The devil is in the details but he proposes a Citizen's Congress to discuss, debate and install new rules where elections are more representative. He proposes the items on the agenda be limited to this topic and not the many wedge issues. On high level ideas, I agree. This show is our discussion.

She's the author of "Vodou Visions", the artist of the Enochian Tarot deck, the owner of The Island of Salvation Botanica, and the co-founder of the New Orleans Healing Center. She shares her story with us, all well as tying in Qabbalah and Yoga to Vodou. Manbo Glassman goes through different levels of the initiation to Priest status, the distinction between God and the Lwa. She dispells certain misunderstandings of Vodou such as possession and satanic worship. If that's not enough, there are ties to the Templars, Chakras, Freemasons, and other fascinating aspects. The numbers becomes the math that creates the music that forms the resonance of the universe. Sound good?

This episode lives in both Gardens. A little Doom, but quite panoramic view. Steve Favis has a corporation. He may have stumbled into seed money from a Chinese agent, He received funds from NASA and DARPA. He holds a number of patents and provisional patents. He makes robots. AI robots. Robots he assures me will not go I, Robot or Ultron on us. Robots that can be taught to do amazing things. There's a humanoid robot model called the Seraphim. There's a flying drone model called a Wraith. This show tells the story from formation, to finding capital, to rookie mistakes, to why Texas is better for business than California, to ROBOTS!!! Robots that can't be used by Jeffzikistan (yet), with all sort of civilian and military uses. Yes, they can be killer robots. But they can be savior robots. 24/7 firefighters battling forest fires; unsleeping maintenance fixing potholes; or Robocop (probably with a human handler, but still Robocop adjacent). Terrifying and cool simultaneously. And Steve is very convincing why we should not be terrified.

Did the Nazis build a base in Antarctica? Did Admiral Byrd find a plush jungle with Wooly Mammoth? Did the US send special forces to root out Nazis and/or retrieve alien technology? Was Atlantis or other high civilizations in the South Pole? These are all some of the myths and lore surrounding the seventh continent. What's true? What's not. Who drew those maps that showed the Antarctic coast and mountains before the continent was found? Did ancient peoples migrate from Australia to the Americas via Antarctica? The Garden welcomes back Bruce Fenton to discuss these items as well as the recent UFO (UAP) disclosures by governments in recent months. You might remember Bruce from his two prior visits; his appearances on many television shows; his recurring role on Earth Ancients as their science editor; or from his several published books. We discuss these topics and other esoteric and existential questions like if there are aliens confirmed, then what?
