Join host, Greg Carlwood, of The Higherside Chats podcast as he talks secret societies, conjuring beings and hidden codes with returning guest, Nick Redfern.With the influence of elite circles interfering in almost every aspect of our lives, from education to economics, and secret space programs to hidden ancient knowledge, unraveling this twisted web of control can seem almost impossible.And while these puppetmasters continue to pull the strings of reality behind a fortified veil of secrecy, the masses aimlessly carry on as if there is nothing afoot.But, today's returning guest, Nick Redfern, joins The Higherside to help peel back the curtain to shed some light onto these secret societies, including their role in the deep state, their participation in occult rituals and their use of alchemy, just to name a few.In this episode:2:30 Nick discusses whether his extensive research into secret societies has changed or altered his perspective in any way. Nick explains how our understanding in today's world is simply the tip of the iceberg, with the overwhelming majority hiding beneath the surface. Nick also details the layout of his recent book, "Secret Societies: The Complete Guide to Histories, Rites and Rituals".6:30 Tackling the topic Nick has researched extensively, he and Greg discuss the role of the Collins elite and their approach to the E.T. and UFO phenomenon from the perspective of demons. With his first work on the Collins elite culminating in his book, "Final Events", Nick elaborates by discussing the ultimate evolution of a Department of Defense program into a secret society focused on the study of ancient occult rituals, and contacting inter dimensional beings.22:55 Continuing with the discussion of ancient magical rituals, aliens encounters, and demonic influences, Greg and Nick discuss the possibility of the Loch Ness Monster being related to magical workings. Nick talks about his book, which focuses on the paranormal aspects of the monster mystery, "Nessie" , as well as Crowley's connection to the Boleskin House.32:45 Greg and Nick discuss the legends of underground cities and civilizations, including Dr. F. Bruce Russel's tale of falling into a subterranean city in Death Valley. They also discuss Antarctica, the speculation surrounding it, and the suspiciously long list of global elite flocking to it.40:00 Greg and Nick discuss the importance on ancient knowledge in today's world, the position of the gatekeepers and how the quest to uncover it acts as the driving force for civil unrest throughout history, including the Middle East.Become a Plus Member at www.TheHighersideChatsPlus.com/subscribe to hear a second hour of all THC episodes.
