Hello everybody,
I am new to the forum. My name is Domenico Seti. I have spent the last 10 years of my life researching topics that are relevant to Graham’s work and I am currently writing a book on the subject.
I just finished listening to the debate with Flint Dibble on the JRE and I can’t tell you how many times it made me wish I could share my knowledge with the group. I would like to share with you the Table of Contents for my upcoming work. I hope you find it intriguing and possibly gain new insights from my humble perspective.
Ps: though I don’t see my research as being paranormal or supernatural I understand some of the themes may be a little out there so I will not be offended if that section is deemed a better fit for this post.
“Here There Be Dragons: Mythological Musings of a Poison’d Mind”
Prelude: A Song of Dissonance
Telling the story of how sexual repression made me interested in the subject as a child.
1: The Face: (Autobiographical)
Introducing the central theme of balance between order and chaos, setting the stage for the exploration of ancient myths and prophecies.
Tell of the time I was in a rock band and chose to seek forbidden knowledge to foster creativity and have something of impact to say to the world.
2: The Lost Legacy: (Academic)
Investigating the theory of an advanced matriarchal civilization that revered the natural world & the serpent as symbols of primal wisdom and harmony. Exploring the “positive” aspects of the Serpent in creation myths & prehistory.
3: Initiation: (Autobiographical)
Tell of when I distanced myself from the world to delve into the study of yoga, qabalah, shamanism, ceremonial magick and other spiritual disciplines to foster creativity; to gain knowledge of the serpent's symbolism and its connection to the human psyche. Sacrificing earthly pleasures for my passion.
4: The Flood (Academic)
Examining the “negative” associations with the serpent through flood narratives from various mythologies, uncovering their symbolic significance and themes of destruction & rebirth.
5: The Mountain: (Autobiographical)
Recounting my two years in isolation on a mountain. The Method Acting Approach to explore madness inspired by Heath Ledger’s Joker and the Aghori philosophy, using Ted Bundy & Syd Barrett as character studies. (I never actually hurt anyone. I only studied & delved into the psychology of sexual homicide while isolating in the woods). Describing my encounter with ethereal entities known as the fallen angels. (Demons of the Goetia)
6: The Savior: (Academic)
Exploring the significance of solar deities across civilizations.
Exploring the role of the Savior as Slayer of Dragons and the evil connotation associated with the serpent to this day in the west.
7: The Fall: (Autobiographical)
Recounting of when I peeked beyond the veil and lost my mind to visions and voices. Considering how what were once viewed as angelic or divine visions, for example in the case of St Francis, or shamanic initiations in tribal cultures, are dismissed as a schizophrenic breakdown in the west.
8: Fool’s Gold: (Academic)
Investigating the role of the trickster figure in mythology, particularly its relationship with the serpent of chaos.
9: Lord of the Desert: (Autobiographical)
The effects of antipsychotics and coming back to reality. Chaos & Confusion. Losing the will to go on. Giving up and allowing the serpent to devour me.
Finding a way out & rebuilding of the ego with the use of plant medicine.
10: The Solar Paradox: (Academic)
Delving into diverse prophecies that predict a purification by fire, highlighting the themes of cosmic upheaval and renewal. Investigating the theory that the very solar force that once saved humanity might be the catalyst for the next cataclysmic event, prompting a reevaluation of balance.
11: Trial by Fire: (Autobiographical)
Realizing the breakdown was actually a complete success. I wanted to know madness so I could write about madness? I now knew about madness.
Discussing the role of Muay Thai in regaining control over demonic possession and the lessons learned about discipline, resilience, and the power of the physical body.
Reframing the possession as a ruthless initiation into the serpent's secrets through a "trial by fire."
Recognizing the trickster’s function as guardian of balance between order and chaos; gatekeeper to and protector from the serpent. (Consider & contrast the symbolism of the relationship between Loki & Jormungandr vs Set repelling Apep)
12: Return of the Trickster: (Academic)
Reclaiming the Primordial Force.
Imagining life in the matriarchal society. (technology and rituals)
Understanding the pros & cons of their view of the world and comparing it with the pro & cons of patriarchal values & what we gained from the cataclysm.
Present a new philosophy for the future that merges the best of both worlds.
Appendix:
Methods for harnessing and directing the serpent's energy, including Kundalini yoga, creative expression, ritual, martial arts, shadow work, tantra, kamasutra, plant work, “Reich-ian” therapy…
Mythological References and Further Reading
—————————
This has only been a passion project for me so I can only work on it in my free time while I work odd jobs. Any insights into the topics discussed or suggestions on who to contact to gain support for the project would be extremely helpful and appreciated.
Hopefully one day we can make sense of this whole “Lost Civilization” business.
Either way, thanks for having me.
Dom
