THE EMPIRE OF BA'AL | Inner Whirled Ep. 19

·1 hr 36 min·5 clips

Ba'al is the greatest link in the chain of an eternal empire that has shackled humanity for thousands of years.

The episode begins by framing Ba'al as the central, most feared name of God, linked to an eternal empire that has shackled humanity through feudalism. The hosts, Dylan and the unnamed host, set out to thoroughly investigate who Ba'al is, arguing that the Old Testament portrays him as a catch-all boogeyman for evil like child sacrifice to deter scrutiny. They propose this is a strategic concealment tactic, similar to how the Templars were accused of worshiping Baphomet to hide their banking and trade influence. Dylan reveals that 'Baphomet' is a hidden version of 'Mohammed,' suggesting esoteric links in the spread of Islam. The hosts delve into etymology, showing 'Ba'al' means 'father God' or 'Godfather,' connected to 'Allah,' and explore philological interchanges like B/V and L/N. They cite 18th-century scholars: William Jones, who wrote esoterically about Genesis, and Francis Wilford, whose work on Mount Meru and pyramids they defend against modern academic dismissal. Wilford's quotes describe Meru as a worldly temple with pyramid structures globally, serving as tombs for relics like those of Buddha or Osiris, and linking to terms like 'Thakur' (Lord). The hosts interpret this as evidence of a universal feudal system where rulers are equated with divinity. They connect pyramid symbolism to corporate structures and the human body, like the skull and pineal gland. The episode ends with a teaser for part two on following the money, papal bulls, and modern geopolitics, emphasizing the ongoing investigation into Ba'al's linguistic and symbolic chain.

As heard by us

A dense Baal theory tests the line between concealed history and dangerous pattern recognition.

Baal becomes the hinge for a far-reaching look at religious authority, hidden continuity, and the idea of an empire that has held humanity in place for thousands of years.
