Great post. If I hadn’t studied it for myself over 2 decades I’d have also just dismissed it as batshit crazy, instead of the deeply embedded operating system (Education & Public Policy, Media & Entertainment) of so much we take for granted & have eagerly bought in (addicted) to.
I went down the theosophy rabbit hole after driving by a temple every day, and it was so dark and disturbing that I had nightmares. It’s not “Satanism” the way you think about Satanism. Not like Anton Lavay in a vampire costume. Luciferianism is a lot more mainstream in its themes and tenets; ideas that sound noble. “Love and light.” New age. That’s what makes it so disturbing, honestly.
I’m the only person I know IRL who studied it and learned about it; and I always sound crazy when I explain it to people. They’re just wide eyed and like “No way does anyone believe that” and then I show them the UN website. It’s a black pill for sure.
