[#140] IN THE MOUTH OF MESMER: Illuminating the Origins of Magnetism & Mind Control ft. Khrist Koopa

Dimitri and Khalid talk with music producer/researcher @KhristKoopa about the career of German scientist Franz Anton Mesmer and his theories of “animal magnetism” that took late 18th century France by storm, including: Mesmerism as precursor to Spiritualism, the ain’t nuttin’ new overlaps between Serious Science and metaphysics throughout history, Mesmer’s confirmed membership in the Bavarian Illuminati, discovering a field of “invisible fire” more subtle than ether, Mesmer’s remarkable rizz, running group “seances” in Paris, curing the blindness of piano prodigy Maria Theresia von Paradis, hanging out with Mozart, Jesuits lurking on the periphery, the Illuminati’s passion for tactical PR and ARGs, early theories of the subconscious, yet another Ben Franklin deboonking saga, noting the real phenomenon of hypnosis operating within Mesmer’s “magnetic” therapy, tracing the legacy of magnetism through Freud up to modern mind control, and how the under-examined sex magick teachings of African-American occultist Pascal Beverly Randolph and his Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor/Light influenced Helena Blavatsky and Aleister Crowley.
