On several occasions during his interview, Farrel references the Beehive. Indeed, Die Gocke was sometimes called the “Beehive” by the Nazis working on it, and when operating it gave off a buzzing or humming sound that was reminiscent of the noise made by bees swarming.
It must, therefore, be of some significance that occult-wise, the Bee and the Beehive is a profoundly important symbol. Gareth Knight, in his book: “A Practical Guide to Qabalistic Symbolism” has this to say on the subject:
It is also said of the Bee and Beehive:
I’m trying to avoid going too deeply into occult lore even though this has a tremendous bearing on the subject, as Farrell makes abundantly clear in his interview and book. One reason why occult symbolism was made so convoluted and difficult to understand was to avoid the abuse and misuse of the fundamental knowledge that was revealed by it.
“Weaponizing” ages old occult knowledge definitely was not the goal, but it was the one chosen by the Nazis and SS. But as John Bormann made clear in his epic film Excalibur, a sword can be used to to heal as well as to hack - or a Gareth Knight states “the right use” - unless, of course, one is set on the wrong use where progress of the aspirant is not the goal.

Quote:The beehive is a profound esoteric symbol, traditionally brought to Earth
From Venus as a pattern for early man of. the goal of civilization, the co-operation of all for the common good,which is by no. means incompatible with the full development of
human free-will.
It is also said of the Bee and Beehive:
Quote:Two of the potencies of human consciousness that have their root in Venus or Netzach are creative imagination and desire. These are two sine qua non of occult development. Without knowledge of the right use of creative imagination and desire, the aspirant makes little progress.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
