Introduction
In Episode 117 of Nephilim Death Squad, hosts David Lee Corbo and Top Lobsta invite Nick from The Occult Rejects to delve deep into the realms of occultism, magic, and the intricate interplay between fear and spiritual awakening. The conversation weaves through personal experiences, symbolic interpretations, and the influence of modern events on our perception of the spiritual and physical worlds.
Guest Background: Nick’s Journey into the Occult
Nick begins by sharing his introduction to occultism, tracing his journey back to his youth in New York. Initially engrossed in conspiracy theories and influenced by prominent occult figures like Michael Tassari, David Icke, and Jordan Maxwell, Nick's curiosity led him to explore various magical practices.
Nick (04:49): "I started off in occultism... just for me. Not for nothing, like I'm learning all this stuff about these orders and... I still don't know what magic is."
His quest for understanding magic led him to the Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.), specifically the Tehuti Lodge in New York. Despite several attempts to attend Gnostic Masses, his engagement with the group didn’t solidify until several years later, which ultimately influenced his decision to part ways with the organization.
The Gnostic Mass and Symbolism of the Eye
A significant portion of the discussion revolves around the Gnostic Mass, a central ritual in the O.T.O., and its deep symbolic elements, particularly the symbolism associated with the human eye.
Nick (12:13): "It's basically like the O.T.O.'s version of church... it shows the magician crossing the abyss and coming back and telling people the experience."
Nick explains how the symbolism within the Mass, such as the depiction of the eye, ties into occult teachings and deeper metaphysical concepts.
Nick (12:34): "Look at the eyeball and start looking at certain parts of it... you'll start to see sigils and occult symbolism."
The Pineal Gland and Magical Experience
The conversation delves into the role of the pineal gland in magical experiences. Nick describes his own practices involving meditation and manipulation of the pineal gland to facilitate magical experiences, likening these acts to forms of temporary suicide where the soul separates from the body.
Nick (37:56): "To have a magical experience, you're going to kind of like your soul's gonna slip out of your body... that's the ultimate sacrifice."
David Lee Corbo expands on this by relating it to concepts like ego death and the hero's journey, emphasizing the necessity of overcoming fear to achieve spiritual growth.
David Lee Corbo (46:53): "Fear is the thing that's going to stop you... you're battling with fear constantly."
Fear as a Barrier to Spiritual Awakening
Both hosts agree that fear is a significant barrier preventing individuals from embarking on their spiritual journeys. They discuss how fear manifests in daily life and the importance of overcoming it to achieve deeper understanding and enlightenment.
David Lee Corbo (44:22): "Fear is the killer... it's about your ability to control the scenario, the fear of the unknown."
Nick (74:07): "Fear is the killer... If you hold onto fear, it keeps you from taking the next step in any journey."
Integration of Modern Events and Symbolism
The discussion shifts towards interpreting modern events through an occult lens. The hosts analyze political maneuvers, media events, and even popular culture references as manifestations of deeper, symbolic rituals aimed at societal manipulation.
David Lee Corbo (105:41): "This is theater... they're creating scenarios and slipping characters in for us to clamor around."
Nick (83:34): "I think a lot of what's out there is just a reflection of the inside of our eyeball."
They explore how events like helicopter crashes, political actions, and media portrayals are imbued with symbolic meanings that align with ancient occult principles.
The Orphic Egg and Sacred Geometry
A recurring theme is the Orphic Egg and its significance in various mythologies and modern interpretations. The hosts discuss its correlation with the human eye, sacred geometry, and its representation in current UFO and UAP disclosures.
David Lee Corbo (87:14): "The Orphic Egg is at the center of creation mythos of many ancient religions... it's like the egg cracks open and creates earth."
Nick (89:59): "These rituals... spinning in a circle... it's like the pupil spinning closed and sucking light into the back of my head."
The conversation highlights how sacred symbols like the egg and the eye are not just metaphors but are deeply interconnected with human physiology and spiritual practices.
The Role of Light in Spiritual Communication
The hosts delve into the concept of light as a medium of spiritual communication and its relationship with the pineal gland. They speculate on how the speed of light affects cellular communication and humanity's spiritual connection.
Nick (77:21): "We are like biological AI, solar powered... the optic nerve turns light into electricity."
David Lee Corbo (84:47): "If the speed of light is slowing down, we're getting further away from God... harder for the spiritual realm to access us."
Conclusion: Navigating Spiritual Complexity
As the episode draws to a close, the hosts reflect on the complexity of spiritual teachings and the importance of maintaining a balance between understanding ancient wisdom and integrating it with contemporary life. They caution listeners against oversimplifying or dismissing occult principles, emphasizing the need for personal exploration and discernment.
David Lee Corbo (102:34): "This is what spirituality is about... we have to unpack these layers ourselves."
Nick (112:36): "We are here... to... fix ourselves, not the world around us."
