The Angelic Realm, Part 1: Angels, Elementals, and the Pitch of Light

In this talk to the Building 4th community, Doug Scott explores the angelic realm through the Ra Contact, with Daskalos's The Esoteric Teachings as a major secondary source. He offers a working theory of angels as something like algorithms, looks at the Great BASH as humanity's collective dark angel, and describes four faces of the demonic and how to meet temptation as catalyst.

A note on slide 3: In this recording, the slide on where Ra speaks of the angelic cites 7.9. On a closer read, that passage is about the twenty-four who back the Council of Nine, and Ra doesn't call them angelic there. The blog post carries the corrected slides.
