Franz Mesmer; Animally Magnetic

Thanks for this mystic – I have read a lot about this guy – and the other men of his era – fascinating people – blavatsky was around then too? One of my old friends was the great grand-daughter or niece or something of ernest rutherford the guy who split the atom – he was 100% into the whole chakras and energy thing – was a contemporary and I think friends of charles ledbeater the guy who published that famous old 1920s chakras book – and rutherfords sister set up a temple – the temple of higher thought. It’s fascinating. Science was allowed to be kooky then, now it’s so conventional and uptight (they have so much more to lose now they think they’ve proven things empirically) and makes outcasts of the peeps with new ideas.

And what about those men – the full moon men – there was a club of industrialists in 17 or 1800s england who would meet every full moon to discuss things – and the full moon was to light their way home but imagine the power they were harnessing while they talked no wonder they were so successful. Josiah wedgewood was one of them – they are all famous for something can’t remember the other names.
