The Common Surface Podcast

Augustinus was a Christian bishop, born in Algeria in the year 354. By all accounts, he was a devoted Christian servant and a busy man. He was known for his pragmatism and was highly educated. If you look up Augustinus, or St. Augustine, in the Encyclopedia Britannica, it describes him as : “one of the Latin Fathers of the Church and perhaps the most significant Christian thinker after St. Paul. Augustine’s adaptation of classical thought to Christian teaching created a theological system of great power and lasting influence.” But did his thinking include an inadvertent error that led to the split into two Europes? According to Dr. Farrell’s research, Augustinus did not have the time to fully investigate the Classical Greek words he was using in his writings. Classical Greek is perhaps the most subtle European language ever devised. A few writers who thought in Classical Greek were tabloid scribblers like Plato, Aristotle, Euclid, and Plotinus. Even the Gospels were written in Greek, which was the most prominent intellectual language in the ancient Mediterranean and widely spoken even in Jesus’ day. If you want to understand what that word was, and why it split Europe, you will need to head up to LuLu.com and purchase the four volume set of Dr. Farrell’s masterwork, God, History, and Dialectic, a detailed study of the role that theology played in the political development of Western Europe, and by extension, how it lost contact with the original understanding of Christianity still practiced in East Europe and North Asia. In an age of attention deficit, it takes determination to read, but the rewards are endless. You’ll finally understand what factors created the West and why it is circling the bowl. There is no study like it. https://www.lulu.com/shop/joseph-p-fa... Or you can choose the Cliff Notes version here on The Common Surface. If you are the type who likes to listen, here is my recent, long-form interview with Dr. Farrell, where we DEEP dive into the history starting near the end of the Roman Empire. It’s really mindblowing information. No longer will your cultural circumstances puzzle you. People in the West have no idea how different the “original” Christianity is to the “Western Christianity” practiced today. They look somewhat similar, but at the level of their foundational assumptions, definitions, and cosmology, they are almost unrelated, especially at the level of meaning. And as a result, people in the West do not have any sense of Eastern Christian belief structures, the culturo-behavioral results of that, nor any way of understanding what Orthodox societies want. In my own view, it is easier for a Westerner to understand Chinese Dao than it is for them to understand the Orthodox viewpoint. This has dire political consequences, as Dr. Farrell lays out in this interview. The study also makes it clear why the West is descending into nihilism, decay, and abandonment, and how it lost sight of its reasons to be. Check out my zine on Substack, and subscribe if you like.

Kelly and Christopher discuss his new book Giza: The Tesla Connection, which connects his original books on Egyptian technology, with the work of Nikolai Tesla. Christopher Dunn has an extensive background as a craftsman, starting his career as an indentured apprentice in his hometown of Manchester, England. Recruited by an aerospace manufacturing company, he immigrated to the United States in 1969. Over the past 49 years, Chris has worked at every level of high-tech manufacturing from machinist, toolmaker, programmer and operator of high-power industrial lasers, Project Engineer and Laser Operations Manager. For the past 16 year, he has served as Human Resource Director for a Midwest aerospace manufacturer. Chris’s pyramid odyssey began in 1977 after he read Peter Tompkins’ book Secrets of the Great Pyramid. His immediate reaction after learning of the Great Pyramid’s precision and design characteristics was to consider that this edifice may have had an original purpose that differed from conventional opinion. After further research and study of source material on various theories, Chris concluded that it must have originally been built to provide a highly technical society with energy—in short, it was a very large machine. Discovering the purpose of this machine and documenting his case has taken the better part of twenty years of research and following the 1998 publication of Chris’s book, “The Giza Power Plant: Technologies of Ancient Egypt” which describes a holistic energy device that is harmonically coupled with the Earth and its inhabitants. Chris has published over a dozen magazine articles, including the much quoted “Advanced Machining in Ancient Egypt” in Analog, August 1984, and has had his research referenced in over a dozen books on Egypt. In the United States he has appeared on PAX Television, the Travel Channel, Discovery Channel, The Learning Channel, Lifetime Television and most recently on the History Channel in the Ancient Alien episode “The Evidence”. Chris’s second book, entitled “Lost Technologies of Ancient Egypt: Advanced Engineering in the Temples of the Pharaohs” was published by Inner Traditions/Bear & Company in June of 2010. In this work, Chris focuses on an important aspect of his research into the manufacturing capabilities of the ancient Egyptians and through his engineer’s eye and camera, reveals to his readers previously overlooked magisterial characteristics of Egyptian architectural and manufacturing wizardry.

Joseph P Farrell and Kelly Em dig deep into his new book. The topics covered are early Christian thought, patristics, Augustine of Hippo, dialectic, angels and demons, plasmas, Leibniz, Newton, and Descartes, analogical thinking, Zachariah Sitchin, and the governance of the World.

Joseph and Kelly get into the relationship of the Giza Death Star pyramid books with his other books. We also discuss modern math as it relates to the pyramid, McCarthy, Ft. Monmouth, Marshall, Steiner, and that strange telescope in New Mexico.

Joseph P. Farrell, PhD, joins The Common Surface to discuss his research into the purpose and function of the Great Pyramid. The main narratives that we have been taught for well over a century are rooted in the idea that this amazing work of architecture was a tomb for a narcissistic pharaoh. His latest book is The Giza Death Star Revisited. Originally a brilliant white covered with limestone, the ancient hulk now sits partially buried in sand with its granite blocks exposed. Dr. Farrell explains that the device is still operating to a degree. What we learned doing the podcast is that the giant structure was based on lost physical principles and a vast high science that has been slowly teased apart by eminent scientists, and kept off the radar, which was probably a good thing. As you’ll find out, The Pyramid was designed to resonate with nearly everything. In this second interview of the series, Dr. Farrell and Kelly discuss the texts, the primary status of plasma as a core feature of the universe, the Æther as an aspect of the “plasmarium”, Tesla’s understanding, German plasma research, Castle Bravo, the history of hijacked physics, and the deployment of the pyramid device. What separates Dr. Farrell’s work from most others others is his application of modern scientific principals to ancient texts, using academic translations, to underscore the veracity of the sources. The book, The Giza Death Star is available from https://adventuresunlimitedpress.com Dr. Farrell’s unique website and community, is at The Giza Death Star Community. The group gathers every two weeks and folks present their surprising and deep commentary on any number of different topics, annotated by Dr. Farrell. https://gizadeathstar.com If you think this is a bit technical, stay with it, because you can do it.

Today I have the honor of interviewing biblical scholar and archaeologist David Sielaff. David is the Director of the Associates for Scriptural Knowledge, which is a non-denominational research group that, in my view, is just looking for the facts on the ground. We discuss how the Temple Mount is actually the Temple of Appolonia, What the likely birthdate of The Christ in fact was, and where the actual Jewish Temple was located. For many dozens of centuries, different empires have sought to possess Jerusalem. This has resulted in countless wars, occupations, and the destruction of several Jewish temples.But what if today people are contesting the wrong piece of land? The place that we think of as the Temple Mount may not in fact be the location of the Temple of the Jewish people, but a Roman temple and fort. If true, it means that the strife over Jerusalem between Islam and Judaism may be based on a false conflict.

Joseph P. Farrell broke new ground in alternative history with the 2001 publication of his book, The Giza Death Star. The book was unique in several ways. It blended reviews of ancient texts while remaining grounded in modern scientific thinking. Was the Great Pyramid a weapon of immense destructive power? Why were the ancients so afraid of it? In this two hour interview, Kelly Em of The Common Surface gets into the details of the function of this amazing device. Please like and share!
