The Return of the Tower of Babel: Revised Introduction

Birth Pangs of the Aquarian World

This is a Substack reintroduction as well as a bit of a learning curve for me: apparently invitations extended after my original posts started with the Prologue without direction how to begin at the book’s actual beginning. Those interested can probably find the Tablet of Contents and Preface by navigating Opera Jupiter, but I will also re-post them each once later today for new subscribers. If you have already gotten them, just ignore the repetition. Later this week I will pick up with Chapter One for everyone . The audio version will also be available soon, though it will always a lag time. For the subscriber list, I imported pretty much indiscriminately from my email files . Most old emails were trashed in course of periodic cleanup, but many others I hung onto for such an occasion. That’s why this posting may come out of the blue after, say, fifteen years. I am pretty sure that those who don’t want to read this book or subscribe to Opera Jupiter can unsubscribe.

Okay, so expect a repeat of the Preface followed by Chapter One, Trumpism, then Chapter Two QAnon, and so on. I have revised the Table of Contents slightly from the first mailing in Chapter Three, “Cancel Culture.”

Also, note that The Return of the Tower of Babel will be only the first book and posting on Opera Jupiter. Ruslana Remennikova and Rachel Wolfe will be doing their own projects once we get launched, and others may join the three of us.

Substack Introduction

In the course of writing this book, I changed its trajectory many times. I finally came around to publishing it on Substack rather than in printed book form because it is too topical and fluid for standard publishing with its delay times—a year minimum from manuscript to finished book. In addition, I already have a series of titles in process at Inner Traditions: Bottoming Out the Universe: Why There Is Something Rather Than Nothing came out in 2020. Dreamtimes and Thoughtforms: Cosmogenesis from the Big Bang to Octopus and Crow Intelligence to UFOs came out in 2022. A new edition of my Homeopathy book (Homeopathy: The Great Riddle) will be published in 2024 under the tentative subtitle Nanoscience, Energy Medicine, and Life Code. This is the outlier text needing a different venue, and Substack is a community-building platform seeking fresh content in any niche.

         I have also been working collaboratively with a number of people who are joining me on Opera Jupiter, a portal opened by conceptual artist and painter Rachel Wolfe and sound practitioner Ruslana Remennikova (whose book on 12-stranded DNA and sound healing I am helping develop at Inner Traditions under my imprint, Sacred Planet Books). Ru asked me for my intentions with this project in its Substack form. They are:

1. To continue to provide a channel for my system. My system isn’t a conscious one, and I don’t know where it comes from. It has been the driver behind my work long before I realized it. For many years, I assumed that ordinary ambitions, aspirations, and aesthetics drove my writing. The system, as it has played out, has three major components: a cosmological zone in which I am developing a matrix connecting science, the occult, and cross-cultural views of the universe (with four major themes: healing, cosmology, embryology, and consciousness); a personal one in which I am telling my own story in its broadest ancestral constellation; and a political, pop-culture one in which I filter these themes through current events. This book emphasizes that component, though includes aspects of all three. For my most recent contributions, see The Night Sky: Soul and Cosmos and Bottoming Out the Universe: Why There Is Something Rather than Nothing for the first component and New Moon: A Coming-of-Age Tale for the second.

In 2003, psychic Ellias Lonsdale channeled the description of my system that rings most true. He called it “a secret project, secret even to its author. It represents a complex mode of consciousness on a subtle plane that has been working its way into the world for millennia. Grossinger is carrying out one phase of it in a regular sense in linear time, but his inner self is doing the actual work in timeless reverie. And this is the only way the project is going to get done. Otherwise, it would continually have to defend itself against an external voice that keeps saying, ‘This is not happening; this is some sort of bizarre aberration.’ He is fighting both for and against something that won’t go away. He can drop it, and he can’t complete it. It has no grand fruition, nothing to do with the New Age notion that everything is supposed to cross and become magnificent. Esoterically, it is its own reality, its own truth, its own justification.”

This still rings true. I think of a conceit by poet Robert Kelly that I remember (roughly) as: “Blake said we must create our own system or be enslaved by someone else’s. Blake was enslaved by his own system.” I urge the same of you. My system isn’t an endpoint even for me; it is to help you create you own system and not be enslaved by current creed and dictates.

2. I want to put major current events in a different, less polarized frame. Healing and reconciliation must come in some fashion eventually because we are a wavelet of the expansion of consciousness in the universe. I want to celebrate its creative chaos, much as I have since my first political book, Martian Homecoming at the All-American Revival Church, written in 1973 in the very different world of comet Kohoutek.

3. I want to reclaim aspects of my personal and professional identity publicly after my main outreach project, North Atlantic Books, was stolen by a cancel-culture coup and I was cancelled, my fourteen main books put out of print. Not everyone knows that I have no affiliation with the regime that took over the press. They tell people that I retired. I did not.
