Not speaking for Norton but I doubt aversions to Christianity and monogamy are what he was referring to. What's really weird and upsetting is the pervasive scent of depravity and evil wafting off these so-called icons of a generation. Nearly all of them diddled underage girls and ALL of them are surrounded by mysteriously dead friends and family, including children. Not to mention the nearly universal connections to the MIC and spookdom. These people were hardly your average, happy go lucky, live and let live hippiepeople.
I finally went through this thread a while back, and while I find it provocative, I don't quite trust the source material.
Granted, there was some serious decadence and some experimentation going on with complete disregard to spiritual safety, but the whole spook/MIC connection?
You could easily find spook/MIC connections to yours truly! And for someone to speculate that because of that upbringing on my part that I'm somehow affected by it in a negative way, or that I somehow do bad things because of it, well, that's just silly, honestly. And I grew up with a lot of people just like me, and we're just normal folks who had unusual childhoods!
These people were young, had a ton of money, and found themselves in Hollywood, where people consider themselves literally above the law because of fame, money, and celebrity. Plus the times were "anything goes", and a lot of people went down some bad bad tracks because of this.
I also believe that living this kind of a live can easily open spiritual doors (for lack of a better term) that should remain closed.
I've felt it myself, this spiritual strata here, that doesn't exist elsewhere, different levels that can suck you in. One of these is a type of decadence that can suck you in and literally kill you, a place where you can find yourself doing things that you never thought you'd do. It's the spiritual plane that has killed quite a few famous people including many noted in this thread. There seems to be a nexus of this in the Hollywood Hills, you can feel it even as you drive through! (or I should say that I can anyway).
I brushed up against this myself when I was younger and stepped back right as some people I knew and used to party with got sucked into it. It's a scary place to go, but very tempting.
It reminds me of those old stories, I can't remember what these things were called, stories from the King Arthur myths, of a place where the Knights found a circle of people dancing, seemingly so happily, but if you got sucked into the ring of dancing people you realized you were going to dance to your death. And you couldn't get out of it.
Anyway, my two cents. I can't go to the same conclusion that these people were somehow set up, propped up, involved with the MIC and the spook world, because, honestly? The MIC and the spook world is pretty fucking boring if you're a goddamn rock star. Those people are GEEKS.
