*This list has privately been e-mailed to folks in the past but here it is as a post as well.
All good information comes from the bottom up and not the top down. So never from rich universities, governments, corporations, aristocrats, celebrities, or the vast majority of main stream historical figures. Instead it comes from rough outsider individuals - Philosophers, magicians, mystics, shamans, sages, druids, witches, etc... who have never been accepted by the village or township or city populous.
So first, finding folks who know their stuff is difficult. As there are so many charlatans out there. Who are usually always either a dogmatist, salesmen, or both. When distilling a list, it's so hard to say something like "these folks are legit" which implies so many others not mentioned are, well... not. Which is certainly not the case as there are many more names I'm planning to get on here as well. Some of whom have been on the podcast and even a couple who support my work. Perhaps a better way to phrase this list is "these are folks who's bodies of work I have personally gotten the most out of to date" and suggest you look into them as well for study.
I tweak this list a bit here and there annually, so expect it to be a living document. Adding on folks who's work I discover and absorb, and occasionally taking one off here and there if need be. That being said, please do anytime privately share other specific individuals who have influenced you as well. As we are always all ears.
