Strange Frequencies Radio interview on Emma, Helena, and the Great White Brotherhood

Each Sunday evening a three hour live program is aired, with a different guest for each hour. The hosts invited me to speak on Cayce, but I said it had been too long since I had any contact with the ARE or the Cayce community for that topic to be workable. I told them that recent research on Emma Hardinge Britten had shed new light on my earlier studies of the Theosophical Masters, and was a topic of current interest about which I could speak. The interview lasted 45 minutes and is in the middle of the three hour program. Here is the link which has archived programs available.

I liked their well-researched questions, some of which dealt with matters about which I knew little. Have not heard the full hour, so don't know what they said after my interview, but hope it was favorable. The interview should be of interest to Network members who are curious about these matters. I would urge anyone who is angered by critical views of HPB not to listen.

Go to Strange Frequencies Radio. From there select the June 7th program. There are several locations to select from. Paul's segment is hour 2.

Comment by K. Paul Johnson on July 8, 2009 at 7:16pm: Thanks Joe. I'm not sure why, but when I went an hour into the program, it was already ten minutes into my portion. The interview starts around minute 49 as I recall.

Comment by EstrellaFugaz on July 8, 2009 at 6:35pm: where we can hear that podcast, or it was a live program?

Comment by K. Paul Johnson on July 2, 2009 at 6:28pm: I finally listened to it, and was surprised at how boring they found the interview in the comments afterwards. I was interested by the questions and thought my answers sounded pretty good. CofL folks found the same material intriguing, but then the Chevalier Louis and the Orphic Circle had always been of interest to them.

Comment by Charles Cosimano on June 14, 2009 at 10:11am: I've been interviewed by worse but I will confess listening to them leading up to you made my hair stand on end wondering what horrors would come of it. So when is the book about Thomas Edison and Theosophy going to be written?

I'd heard the magick mirror/Burton story before and I've always wondered just how well it worked for him.

Comment by Alistair on June 14, 2009 at 8:37am: Would have to agree that the questions were surprisingly well thought out in consideration of what they admitted knowing about Theosophy before the interview, which was next to nothing.

"Have not heard the full hour, so don't know what they said after my interview, but hope it was favorable."

They commented politely that most of it went over their heads.

I do look forward to hearing more about EHB and of the Orphic Brotherhood, and the occult interests of this early group. Loved the little detail about Burton's magic mirror...
