61 Heavens Gate: The Crazy Comet UFO Cult
Another guest on the show, and another cult! We're covering Heaven's Gate, the Crazy Comet Cult. We discuss Marshall Applewhite and Bonnie Nettle's background, and how they took this from a crazy idea to a legit cult that had close to 50 people when it ended. It ended of course, when the majority of the cult all committed suicide to advance to "The Next Level" which was a planet where they would live for eternity in an existence devoid of personality, feelings, and sex. These people bought in 100% to the teachings, believing that Applewhite and Nettles were the second coming of Jesus Christ, who had the tickets to leave Earth and go away in a spaceship to a better eternity, and that the only way to get there was to off yourself. Castrations not withstanding.
We're joined by Dr Paul Meckes of the Conscious Radio Network, and their podcast, The Weekly Séance, on YouTube, Spotify, and all other platforms. He was awesome, and I'm sure he will be back soon.
