So, what are your thoughts and feelings about him? Were you only entertained or did you question his research and are willing to corroborate or refute it?daniel wrote:Since you've already watched a lot of it, what is Maxwell "selling," and how is he selling it?
I would agree with... you guessing this. Leo Zagami once said that you can find "everything and the contrary of everything" on the web. Since Maxwell is - I believe - the most famous, or at least eclectic, (still living) senior lecturer/researcher of the occult on the web, I suggest you question him thoroughly (as he suggests us to do with everything in life, especially the "adults") by listening and reading all his available material and come to a conclusion by yourself. According to my experience, this will either "make you or brake you", so be careful what you wish for, if you decide to do it.maeghan wrote:There seems to be many people out there that say he's 'sold out' I guess.
There is one thing I noticed about Maxwell's, daniel's, and bruce's public engagement. The number of people who really question them and are willing to listen (not only hear) to them and their research is (probably / obviously) very small. That's why Jordan has always said that "people will always pay for what they want to hear, not what they don't want to hear". And usually, people expect a "saviour", possibly a handsome one, who would do the work (solve the problems, or simply take the lead) instead of them.
A typical application of the above-mentioned Jordan's quote is last year's Project Camelot's "Time Travel" conference, which was labeled by a commenter on Wilcock's Divine Cosmos (formerly Ascension 2000) website - if I remember it correctly, couldn't find it - as "the Doomsday Conference", because of Maxwell's (old and well-known) remarks, which were diametrically opposed to Wilcock's - funnily, he was sitting next to him.
I wrote two Maxwell's quotes from that conference in one of my older posts. A 73-year old man (at that time) is speaking:
- "Well, yes, we are seeing people waking up every day. But that happens every day in the prison in San Quentin - everyone are waking up every morning, and they are waking up, but they're still in prison".
- "I think too many people in our country today are like last Christmas lights - half of them don't work and the other half aren't that bright".
I remember I mentioned this "business deal" in one of my older posts. Based on my research, the only time he said that was in an interview he did with Bill Ryan in 2010, which tells me it's not really so important. I find that story very entertaining, but that's just one out of many much more interesting or unusual Jordan's experiences - some of them are like bruce's and daniel's.maeghan wrote:The reason why I question him and why I'm asking for your opinions is his story about the 'business proposition' and he said it hasn't happened yet. Makes me think it did happen or might have happened. (Me being the skeptic.)
If you want to know him better, I would suggest you listen to these interviews: Jordan Maxwell - Close Encounters and other stories, Childhood Memories 1, Childhood Memories 2, Jordan's Peak Experiences, Jordan Maxwell Files 0004, Jordan Maxwell Files 0005, Jordan Maxwell Files 0006, Jordan Maxwell Files 0007. And read these articles: Cross(reference)ing Jordan, Doing His Own Homework, Jordan Maxwell, Jordan Maxwell Returns.
I especially pay attention to his (and other researchers') lectures and interviews (audio and video) from the Nineties, when there was no Internet like today, and doing research was maybe more engaging. With today's disinformation on the web, he can also get hoodwinked, so I try to check the references from the web as time permits - I usually bookmark the links and add a few comments for potential later research, based on a quick web search.maeghan wrote:I'm curious Daniel & Deepfish what you guys think of Maxwell?
If somebody wants to research his material, I would recommend you to start with his former and obviously soon-to-be-again official web page, and also his temporary web page, as a starting point. Another good page are his "a picture is worth a thousand words" contributions at Rense.com. Here's one of them:

Plus, his books: Matrix of Power (the movie Matrix is supposedly based on one of his lectures from the Ancient Mysteries Series from the Nineties which was later released as a book), That Old-Time Religion, The Book Your Church Doesn't Want You to Read (paper on Astro-theology), Symbols, Sex, and the Stars in Popular Beliefs (foreword), Stellar Theology and Masonic Astronomy (foreword).
