This is a new interview, posted on YouTube two days ago.
Steve McNallen goes deeper into the spiritual and scientific side of things. “Synchronicity”
was tied into the discussion as well. I wrote down a few points and
observations. He compared death to a “curtain,” in which messages can occasionally
get through from both directions. He brought up an interesting example as far
as the disconnect between individuals and their roots; a present day family at
the dinner table, and nobody is speaking to each other, as they’re too busy
checking their cell phones, tablets, etc. Henrik, the host from Sweden, brought up a recent
book that is said to show evidence between the ancient Norse and the ancient
Greeks; I think partly due to the similarities between the two mythologies.
Steve asked for the information on that, but didn’t comment on it.
One interesting pattern and I’m not suggesting any
specific person or organization is that Guido von List is never mentioned that
I can see. In this interview, Friedrich
Nietzsche and Carl Jung were discussed,
but not List. “Metagenetics” is a bio-spiritual scientific belief that ancestry and metaphysics are systemically
tied together. In so many spiritual traditions, especially in the east,
there is no need to even mention this item because it isn’t even considered a
part of wisdom. It would be like insisting that one should breathe oxygen. In
the West however, and only within European/north European traditions, this
passes as “controversial.” Since those traditions were genocided long ago,
apparently the “guilt complex” doesn’t apply here. When someone delivers “controversy”
to your doorstep, and only to your doorstep, it’s not easy to just ignore it.
Stephen A. McNallen is a prominent religious leader of the native
European path called Asatro. McNallen established the first legally
recognized Asatro organization in the US in 1972 and quickly became a
prolific writer and speaker on the subject on Germanic Paganism, which
broadly includes the ancient tribes of Northern Europe. He believes that
spiritual fulfillment is best achieved by following the ways of one's
ancestors. In the first hour, Stephen addresses the importance of
venerating our ancestors. He explains how discovering our ancestral past
is vital for our future. We'll talk about what happens when one is cut
off from their ancestral roots and how powerful interests rely on it.
Stephen discusses how the "world managers" work to get the masses to
lose their impulse for something deeper. They belittle honor, courage
and heroism for reasons of control as these pose a threat to the system.
Later, Stephen talks about the falsification of Europe's history, which
always portrays Europeans as the evil ones, and people disown their
ancestors because of it. In the member's hour, we'll hear about
metagenetics and the idea that ancestry matters - that there are
spiritual and metaphysical implications to heredity. He ties together
varied topics as Jung's theories of archetypes, rebirth in the family
line, psychic links between twins, and the Norse concept of the soul to
support that statement. We'll also talk about how biology is being
ignored to push egalitarianism. Later, McNallen talks about reigniting
the spark, reconnecting to that which is in us. We're the outcome of all
who have gone before us and their decisions up until this point. The
hour ends on Odin's model of evolution.
Supermoon huddle
I thought I would add this here since Steve McNallen has
mentioned many times the importance of retreats. Again, I’m not an Odinist.
However, this past “supermoon” three days ago, a few of us gathered in a
special location at the base of the northern Santa Cruz mountain chain. It was
at a spot that we had not used before. It was at a location that was not hard
to get to, but secluded, making it a perfect place to take a mini-retreat. A
retreat doesn’t have to take a whole weekend, with lots of planning. I can’t
stress it enough, sometimes you need to be physically distanced from it all,
with no distractions; something a little more than a backyard retreat.
It was 9:45 PM, and a stream of clouds traveling in one
direction blocked out the bright moon most of the time as we sat on a wide gravel
trail at the base of a hill. We usually go for a location within the trees, but
this was a nice alternative. An occasional breeze of warm yet cool air blew
against my face during the otherwise still night. The dark mountains stood
majestically against the dark blue sky. There was enough moonlight through that
endless stream of clouds to illuminate the trail and hillside. The hazy light
was beautiful, almost ethereal. For a moment, I recall thinking why can’t we do
this more often?
When we first arrived, an owl flew up upon a branch about
forty feet high. It stayed there for about five minutes. I tried to take its
picture, but it was too high for the flash to be effective. It felt special to
have an owl do something they rarely do. It was a special evening, with the
clouds continuously swirling around the moon’s bright light. At one point I got
up from my chair and walked down the wide trail for a while, beer in hand. I
enjoy just thinking about what I want to think about in this type of location,
and not what someone else thinks I need to be thinking about.
Sometimes, and not just because of a buzz from several
beers, a special location can enhance certain emotions, and everything and
everyone past and present seems timeless and together… and with the better of
it all rising in spirit. Especially as I looked at the swirling clouds around
the moonlight like sparks. Maybe the nearby mountains are like a spiritual
antennae at night; opening that curtain between worlds of time. A large raccoon
suddenly appeared walking across the trail, bringing me back to earth, and I
returned to the camp.
There are two more "supermoons" left this year (August & September), and one more blood moon in October.
