Revisiting Scotty Bowers: Hollywood Satyricon

  On a recent trip to Miami, Vanessa and I went to see the new documentary about Scotty Bowers: Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood. High hopes, of course. And yes, it was indeed good. Amazing to see and hear Mr Bowers talk about his adventurous life. We strongly recommend you take a look at this film if you come across it. More info can be found at SCOTTYMOVIE.COM It also brought to mind reading his autobiography, Full Service. It’s such a beyond-belief-book that I strongly suggest reading it, regardless if you see the film or not. Here’s a review of the book I wrote right after having read this “Hollywood Satyricon” tome of sexual escapades. Enjoy! SCOTTY BOWERS: FULL SERVICE Scotty Bowers arrived in Los Angeles right after World War 2.

My lecture on Crowley & Steiner is now online

  Aleister Crowley and Rudolf Steiner were two of the most influential spiritual and religious teachers of the 20th century. Their respective philosophical systems of Thelema (Crowley) and Anthroposophy (Steiner) today engage tens of thousands of people in all regions of the world. When comparing their teachings, we can see both similarities and differences. But… the similarities weigh considerably heavier than the differences. Why is that? Were they tapping into something greater in their Zeitgeist? An overall cosmic, pro-individualistic philosophy they both simply developed in their own systemic languages? If so, then maybe their differences were just strictly personal, with one very distinct Dionysian character (Crowley) and one Apollonian (Steiner), according to Nietzsche’s categorization. In this lecture, I look at these giants and try to sort out what’s what and who’s who. Join me!   Occulture: Aleister Crowley & Rudolf Steiner from Carl Abrahamsson on Vimeo.   If you’d...
