Brian Froud paints faerie folk.
More magical faerie art by Brian Froud
SOME RESEARCHERS SAY THAT EVEN THE MODERN HINDU PANDITS STARTED TO BECOME AWARE THAT THEIR ORIGINAL TEACHERS “RISHI SAGES” ACTUALLY CAME FROM THE NORTH POLE. THIS ISN’T JUST BASED ON THE SACRED VEDIC TEXTS THEMSELVES, BUT ALSO BACKED UP BY SCIENCE & ASTRONOMY.

I’m sure most folks on Telegram are already aware of this book. If not, look it up.
I like a lot of their tracks. This one is one of my favorites
Love the sound of this
The subject of Inner Earth, or Hollow Earth is one of my favorite topics of interest. I loved the book
The figure in a pointy hat is J.R.R. Tolkien’s Gandalf. The other winged figure is Carl Jung’s Philemon.

Most people are not aware that there’s a synchronicity between Tolkien’s Redbook that’s called “The Redbook of Westmarch” & Jung’s red book called “The Red Book Liber Novus.”

This is just one of the parallels out of many others. Gandalf is the old wizard from Tolkien’s LOTR Trilogy & Hobbit. Philemon is an old wise man from Carl Jung’s dream/vision. He was very significant character/person/being throughout Jung’s Redbook.

Both Tolkien & Jung said that they didn’t imagine or invent these characters, they have discovered them. I would say both men channeled this information through them.

For Tolkien, his mystical experience lasted for over 20 years. He had vivid visions and lucid dreams. Tolkien translated dead languages. He knew 19 languages some of which are the oldest languages known to us. He had a talent for language, much like the famous music composers had a talent for music. Tolkien was literally hearing an unknown language come through, and it was not just random words but complete mythologies, forgotten histories. Tolkien referred to it as: “elven chatter”

I’m not sure how long was Jung’s experience, but I know that there is a lot of similarity between the two.

Tolkien’s discovery would come in through deep imagination, but not in a sense how we perceive imagination today. I believe Tolkien was able to use his imagination as a doorway, a portal to be able to tap into a universal source of information.

For Jung it was through deep psychology. I also realized that Nikola Tesla was experiencing something similar. Those who have done proper research on Tesla should know that Tesla had some psychic abilities. He had visions & dreams. His inventions would come in a form of a vision or a dream, and with the help of his sharp intuition, creativity and mathematics Tesla would work out his inventions.

Tolkien’s faerie realm was Jung’s deep, collective unconscious. Both Philemon & Gandalf were wise old men who provided guidance, and taught magic

I want to share a description of one of Tolkien’s visions for people to trying to grasp the remarkable, magical experience Tolkien went through.

To get a fuller sense of the experiential nature of this vision, I will quote at length from Memories, Dreams, Reflections:

It was during Advent of the year 1913—December 12, to be exact—that I resolved upon the decisive step. I was sitting at my desk once more, thinking over my fears. Then I let myself drop. Suddenly it was as though the ground literally gave way beneath my feet, and I plunged down into dark depths. I could not fend off the feeling of panic. But then, abruptly, at not too great a depth, I landed on my feet in a soft, sticky mass. I felt great relief, although I was apparently in complete darkness. After a while my eyes grew accustomed to the gloom, which was rather like a deep twilight. Before me was the entrance to a dark cave, in which stood a dwarf with a leathery skin, as if he were mummified. I squeezed past him through the narrow entrance and waded knee deep through icy water to the other end of the cave where, on a projecting rock, I saw a glowing red crystal. I grasped the stone, lifted it, and discovered a hollow underneath. At first I could make out nothing, but then I saw that there was running water. In it a corpse floated by, a youth with blond hair and a wound in the head. He was followed by a gigantic black scarab and then by a red, newborn sun, rising up out of the depths of the water. Dazzled by the light, I wanted to replace the stone upon the opening, but then a fluid welled out. It was blood. A thick jet of it leaped up, and I felt nauseated. It seemed to me that the blood continued to spurt for an unendurably long time. At last it ceased, and the vision came to an end.
