*Cough* ZEITGEIST *Cough*

@StatelessLiberty This video came out in the late 1960s. Allegro, who was the first to publish extensively on this topic, published SMC in 1970. Even my books and works, which Zeitgeist mimics, came out before Zeitgeist. Peter J took this and our work and images and mixed it all up and in many ways did these fields of study a disservice, though at least many more people know about them now, but there's so much Theosophist disinfo and idiots who refuse to read things themselves that it's a mess.

@EnergyOM To what of Allegro, exactly, are you coughing?

[AutumnEnergy1]

Awesome ! I want to read his book. I hope it's not out of print.

[GnosticMedia]

@AutumnEnergy1 It's available in softcover or hardcover from gnosticmedia*com

That was awesome! :)

The look of the interviewer at the end was pure gold. LOL

I can't believe anyone ever stated that so blankly on national television way back then! LOL. This totally made my night.  I want to see the rest of it now.

@GnosticMedia Zeitgeist as it is now has nothing to do with thees topics anymore. I am not part of Zeitgeist, but I only want to clarity that Peter Joseph's, first film was a creative outlet to vent his frustration and did incorporate these topics that expose the fallacies of religions. Now Zeitgeist is a thoroughly social movement dealing with the creation of a scientifically and technically efficient society for the benefit of all peoples.

Imagine that, romans crucifying a mushroom. Then you'd find christians saying, "the father, his magic mushroom, and a bottle of holy spirit vinegar".

@GnosticMedia Just to make clear, I was not implying that you or Allegro plagiarized TZM.
