Listeners, The story in this medium is over. There will be no more podcasts from me. i set out in 2016 on a journey to discover who i am, using this medium as a tool to share my discovery with those who may have also been at a similar point in their life story, and i have arrived at that destination after several starts and stops, several speed bumps and potholes, and several encounters with creatures both living and dead, wicked and vile, righteous and Godly. Some real spooky action, if i may say. The journey is not over, though. The story will continue elsewhere. Currently, i am in the process of raising money for a feature film. If you have any interest in hearing about it, or contributing to it in some way, email me at the address below.

Your contributions, materially, energetically and spiritually, will not be forgotten. i no longer use social media of any sort, but my email address is [email protected] if anyone wants to keep in touch. Although, upon reflection, i probably will create a new email at some point. Not that it matters. All this content will self-destruct at the same time, this writing included. However, if you do email me, let me know you were a patron. i will do what i can, when i can, to repay you for your kindness and generosity. i am ryan thomas. Or maybe it's better to just say: i am. And i hope you are too.

Jeremy Johnson is the author of Seeing Through the World: Jean Gebser and Integral Consciousness.

Seeing Through the World introduces the reader to the work of German-Swiss philosopher, poet, and intellectual mystic Jean Gebser. Writing in the mid-20th century during a period of intense cultural transformation and crisis in Europe, Gebser intuited a series of mutational leaps in the history of human consciousness, the latest of which emerging was the "integral" structure, marked by the presence of a concept Gebser called time-freedom.

Jeremy says that Gebser's structures of consciousness are as significant an ontological insight as Carl Jung's "reality of the psyche." Yet, until now, very little secondary literature has been available in the English-speaking world as it relates to Gebser and his work. And, until now, very few podcasts have been recorded about Gebser and his work, but that is why Jeremy is here: to guide us through these structures and to show us how this integral structure of consciousness is a means of divination, a crystal ball we can scry with to further illuminate what it is about our current age that seems so damn different.

A lot of scrying coming up, indeed, and a lot of prying too, because we’re pulling the lid back on that third eye of yours and pushing our way into that ear canal with another case of this nasty sonically transmitted discourse.

The one and only Occult Fan, aka Nathan Lee Miller Foster, is back in the house for a third time. Nathan Lee is a musician, writer at OccultFan.com, and host of the Six of Swords podcast, and we are going to dig deep into a piece of art that was forged by four of the most marvelous magicians of our modern era. Collectively they are known as TOOL, one of the pre-eminent musical forces roaming the realm today. Their latest album, Fear Inoculum, is their first in 13 years. Highly anticipated by both fans and critics alike, and from the sounds of things, was well worth the wait.

But this is not a critical review of that album. This is a complete and total thematic deconstruction of what this album is about, song by song, image by image, even tweet by tweet, because this is a band that has become known for their meticulousness. Every riff, every polyrhythm, every lyric, every liner note, every visual set piece associated with their musical catalog is carefully curated and then deeply dissected by their fanbase, for better or for worse, but always in good fun and good faith.

Nathan Lee and I did this way back in episode 35 for another album by the band, so we figured, why not do it again and share it with all of you? Because, when we started to dig into this from a thematic standpoint, we found such a rich message laced with both apt cultural commentary and poignant interpersonal insight. It’s both a warning and a prescription, as any piece of good art is, and whether you know the band or not, or whether you’ve heard the music or not, it’s all kind of irrelevant for the purposes of this discussion, unless you want to completely comprehend all of Nathan Lee’s references that stem from his extensive knowledge of the band and their history.
