The Building 4th Podcast
Welcome to the Building 4th Podcast where we explore the Perennial Philosophy from various lenses including the psychological, theological, spiritual, conventional, and esoteric. Our points of emphasis include the Hebrew and Christian scriptures (including the non-canonical Christian texts), the Law of One material, the Enneagram, Process thought (ie Whitehead’s Philosophy of Organism) integral theory, and developmental psychology.

The Law of Doubling (Law of Squares) in the Law of One Material
Saturday Oct 08, 2022
Saturday Oct 08, 2022
Cosmic laws provide the structure of the Creator's evolution in knowing Itself. The Law of Doubling, or also known as the Law of Squares, finds its origin right at the headwaters of the Original Thought and the Original Desire. It is true on a physical level (think of how cells exponentially multiply from a zygote to a human), psychological, and spiritual. The Law of Doubling gives us a metaphysical insight as to how seeking (and finding) works, whether that seeking is internally endeavored by one person or by a group of people focusing upon one thing.

I recently attended “Homecoming” which is an annual event hosted in the home of Jim McCarty by the L/L Research team (Gary, Austin, Jim, Trisha, and Joanna) and gave this talk on how the most popular form of disclosure (of aliens, etc) may be doing more harm than good. This is a provocative approach and I try to weave in psychology, sociology, theology, and a perspective from one who was involved in the disclosure movement for a time.
I didn’t outright define what I meant by “disclosure” at the beginning of the hour-long presentation. I had assumed that most people in the audience were familiar… and they weren’t. My bad…. Therefore, let me say that what I mean by disclosure is this:
Broadly speaking, Disclosure or the disclosure movement, relates to disclosing the existence of aliens, alien technology, alien influence upon human history, and finally, how and why this phenomenon has been kept secret.
I’ve written a long article on this topic and much of the following presentation pulls from that article. If you’d like to explore that article, a link is http://cosmicchrist.net/2022/02/26/swept-into-the-maelstrom-a-law-of-one-reflection-on-how-the-most-popular-form-of-disclosure-advocacy-contributes-to-our-current-collective-situation/
I also intended to speak about the George Patton phenomenon which is covered by the Law of One Material. I didn't get a chance to share my perspective on what Ra says about General Patton. However, here is an article that treats this subject in detail: http://cosmicchrist.net/2022/03/12/the-law-of-one-and-the-patton-phenomenon-34-17-polarizing-more-positively-but-decreasing-in-harvestability/
I also want to note that my presentation pulls from the wisdom of different schools of thought that explore developmental stages of consciousness. I wrote an article on that topic which I also developed in more detail in a podcast interview with Gary, Austin and Jim of L/L Research a few months ago: http://cosmicchrist.net/2021/04/10/l-l-researchs-law-of-one-podcast-on-spiral-dynamics-and-law-of-one/
Back to the popular disclosure movements. In my article, I acknowledge that there seem to be two often overlapping views on all things ET's. Proponents for what I am going to call, “basic disclosure” advocate for disclosing the existence of UFO’s and aliens. Areas of interest for basic disclosure include:
UFO sightings
Roswell
Close encounter anecdotes
MUFON (Mutual UFO Network, https://mufon.com/)
Pressing the Pentagon to disclose what they know
Reverse-engineered vehicles and technology
It is to be noted that basic disclosure advocates show less interest in larger metaphysics or the spiritual nature of UFOs, etc. They are not trying to answer the primary question above.
The most popular type of disclosure includes basic disclosure as listed here but locates it within a much wider metaphysics which is presented through a spiritual warfare bias. Therefore, the title I use for the most common disclosure advocacy is, “warfare disclosure.”
Warfare disclosure advocates have an answer for the primary question as to why there are so few humans who are harvestable to fourth density. For them, getting this right is a matter of great urgency.
Advocates of Warfare Disclosure rely on insiders, or are themselves insiders, who seek to disclose these points:
Humanity is approaching a new collective paradigm shift that will culminate into an "ascension" into fourth density (or 5D, as is sometimes used by advocates);
Aliens exist and have been involved with humanity;
There is advanced technology that has been kept secret;
There has been a concerted effort to keep the ET truth covered up from public knowledge in order to deceive humanity and keep them controlled;
There is a negative shadowy human elite power structure that functions within a strict hierarchy which controls humanity from behind the scenes;
The negative human elites work for, and are controlled by, advanced negative aliens;
These negative human elites adhere to a luciferian or satanic religion;
These negative human elites have committed heinous crimes against humanity for millennia;
In order for long-enslaved humanity to ascend to fourth density, it is of paramount importance to expose the negative elites and their mass manipulation and abuse for all to see.
Whatever we know, and however we know what we know, is FALSE because our “reality” is a carefully crafted matrix control system created by the negative elites in order to enslave us; and finally;
The negative aliens and their third-density henchmen must be removed from power so that humanity can finally be free and ascend to fourth density. That will be accomplished by our uprising or an “act of God” like a huge solar flash that wipes out the Deep State’s technology.
Finally, I want to highlight that my other basic premise of my presentation is that Warfare Disclosure is adjacent to Fundamentalist Religion if we are locating it on a consciousness spectrum that ranges from how reality is perceived at the lower chakras versus the heart and the upper chakras.
I have a helpful slide which shows the correlation to each other in terms of the main points espoused by both of them.
Theme
Characteristic
Religious fundamentalism worldview
Warfare disclosure fundamentalism
Authority
Rulers of this World
Satan has been in control of this world.
Negative aliens (i.e. reptilians, tall greys) have been in control of the world.
Epistemology
(What we know and how we know it)
Can’t trust anything from mainstream
Satan has been in charge of all of the main ways we know things and how we know them including science, media, education, religion, government, and economics.
Negative aliens and their negative human elite servants have created a “matrix control system” so that nothing we think is true is actually true. The delivery systems of this negative matrix include science, media, education, religion, government, and economics.
Theology
Spiritual Warfareà Battles between light and dark
There are good forces that battle the bad forces. The good forces are angels, “good” Christians/Muslims, Hindus, etc., patriots/nationalists, Jesus, and God the Father. The bad forces are demons, non-religious fundamentalists, liberals, the elite, and Satan.
The good forces are positive aliens, angels, an alliance of white-hat patriots across different agencies, and warfare disclosure influencers. The bad forces are negative aliens, demons, people ignorant of the warfare going on (“normies,” “sheeple”), liberals, and the elite.
Eschatology
Apocalyptic
The world is ending soon. The battle has never been more important than now. Choose your side.
Third density is ending soon. The battle has never been more important than now. Choose your side.
Salvation
Repent of the “gray” in your worldview.
Salvation is available to anyone if you accept the tenets of the black-white, fundamentalist worldview.
Freedom from the matrix control system AND assurance for ascending to fourth density (or ”5d”) is available to anyone if you accept the “red pill.” Salvation begins with being “red pilled.”

Law of One Archetypes of the Mind and Spirit: A Counselor/Theologian’s Perspective
Thursday Sep 22, 2022
Thursday Sep 22, 2022
Doug gave this presentation at Homecoming 2022 in Louisville, KY, at the home of Jim McCarty. The Archetypes are considered some of the most difficult-to-understand teaching in the Law of One material. Doug tries to provide a description of them that is accessible with the ultimate goal of inspiring people to dive into sessions 77 to 106 of the Law of One on their own.
Due to lack of time, I wasn't able to present on the Archetypes of the Spirit. However, if you are interested in listening to a recent presentation on the Archetypes of the Spirit, please enjoy these two links:

So many of us experience low-self esteem. Even if we are well-versed in some sort of nondual spirituality, the reality of unitive consciousness with the Creator may not often be an experiential gnosis we enjoy. In this presentation, we discuss the blockages in the lower three chakras and how they often present in our daily lives. Here, we will add that the road to higher self-esteem is self-compassion. Through this medium, the lower chakras and the high chakras meet in the heart. The presentation utilizes wisdom from the Law of One and teaching from a pioneer in self-compassion studies, Dr. Kristen Neff.

I asked one of our building fourth community members who lives in England if she would put together her endeavor to fight for a beloved patch of land near her home that has been a nature refuge for generations. She explains her vision and gives us two wonderful poems that she wrote to convey the spirit behind this important work.

This presentation and discussion is led by Building 4th community members Barbara and Sirak.
"This is the game: to know, to accept, to forgive, to balance, and to open the self in love. This cannot be done without the forgetting, for it would carry no weight in the life of the mind/body/spirit beingness totality" (50.7).

Prologue Discussion on the Law of One Archetypes
Monday Jul 25, 2022
Monday Jul 25, 2022
This episode is a kind of prologue of the three introductory sessions on the Archetypes of the Mind. It's pretty nerdy stuff :). I like to think of style of our theme is something like: "metaphysical-nerd chic."
Our Vision
Ra says, “The Original Desire is that all entities seek and become one” (20.27). The “oneing” arises across ever increasing complexity. Complexification is evolution, and evolution is gained “by the losing,” as Ra mentions in 93.24.
It is sometimes said that there are three boxes that lead to evolution: Order, Disorder, and Reorder. Individually and collectively, we have to a sense of ‘order’ so that we develop identity. Then, we have to go through ‘disorder’ so that the experience the expansion and transformation of our ‘order’ gave us. We arrive at ‘reorder,’ but not after considerable deconstruction. In a world whose sense-making worldviews and institutions are thoroughly in disorder, how can we hold the depth of meaning so that we live into new spaces of inner and collective freedom? Our podcast hopes to be a small voice in the desert (disorder) which attempts to integrate, not segregate; unite diversity, not demand uniformity; include the pieces of disorder so that we may transcend into reconstructing–reconciling–reordering–renewing–the ever ancient, and ever new.
Building 4th is the name of our small spiritual community that is centered around the cosmic law known as the Law of One.
What does “Building 4th” mean? [see below for further descriptions of each of these four points]
- Building the Fourth Density [1]
- Building the Fourth Energy Center [2]
- Building the Fourth Way [3]
- Building Forth On Our Spiritual Evolution [4]
Building 4th’s Fourth Way is to embrace an incarnational spirituality grounded in the immediacy of our life-situations.
- We seek to learn in order to serve: We affirm that whenever we study the Law of One or other spiritual material, whether on our own or as a group, this is for the purpose of crystallizing our spiritual principles and learning how to embody them.
- The mundane is sacred: We affirm that there is no separation between the ordinary world and divinity. For example, doing dishes is an act of the Creator knowing Itself and can be supremely sacred.
- Love is our metric: We affirm that any teaching or belief, whether conventional or esoteric, is valued by how well it helps us love and understand ourselves and others, including those others whom we perceive to be different or even antagonistic.
- The way down is the way up: We affirm that our ordinary lives are rich in opportunities to grow spiritually. We try to bring our full presence and open heart to each moment, even–and especially–the difficult ones. We are learning that there is no escaping the conditions that foster our personal growth and therefore our goal is to embrace each challenge wherever we discern that it is safe and appropriate to do so. And even in dangerous, unsafe situations, we want to hold the assurance that the creator’s love is with us and we are immortal spiritual beings. In short, the ascension process is not a journey up and out of this difficult third-density illusion, but rather a movement down and into it more.
- The importance of humility: Ra suggests that to become the creator, “[…]renders one the most humble servant of all, transparent in personality and able to know and accept others.” We trust that our understanding is ever evolving, thus we try to hold our own views and various identities with humility. We acknowledge that admitting we don’t know fully requires some level of vulnerability and this can be uncomfortable.
We are inspired by the perennial philosophy that undergirds most of the world’s major spiritual traditions. For us, one primary description of the perennial philosophy is the Law of One material.
We are also informed by the academic disciplines of psychology, sociology, and theology, as we endeavor to weave a healthy synthesis between the conventional and the cosmic, the exoteric and the esoteric, and micro and the macro [4].
We hope that you enter the adventure with us and that you’ll enjoy our podcast.
