Happy Easter Higherside Chatters! A most appropriate show for today: When we examine sacred sites scattered around the world, oral traditions passed down through generations and disjointed clues of our fragmented history buried by organized religion, the path to reconnect the dots seems daunting. And without the proper context, putting our past into perspective can appear impossible. Luckily, today's guest, Freddy Silva, has spent his years studying a cornucopia of esoteric traditions from ancient societies ranging from extinct systems of knowledge and initiation rituals to Jesus and crop circles. Silva has written several books including, "The Divine Blueprint" and "First Templar Nation", to help bestow ancient wisdom for modern times. Subscribe to the plus show to hear the extended episode, including: - the construct that life is a play and we cast our roles before manifesting - how this construct influences the elite and how it can help shape our perception of them - the story of Jesus, the initiate, in those missing years - some of the forbidden or excluded gospel, the Nag Hammadi texts, and some of the exotic things they say - how the "Morning Star" term originated with this living resurrection ritual - the Amuru Muru portal near Lake Titicaca - the ball courts of the Olmec and the Maya, correcting the gruesome narrative "that they played with severed heads" - the true purpose of the ball courts of the Olmec and Maya: mimicking the "Game of the Gods" - the Celts and sites such as, Newgrange, as well as this tradition in their culture - the Wrigley family and the Giants of Catalina - the Templars, how the secret tradition got to them, and Freddy's outlook on them Want more Freddy Silva?
