Episode notes
Gnostic Framework Of Archons And Gnosis
- Gnosticism frames the material world as created by a flawed, cruel lower god and humans must achieve Gnosis to return to the true kingdom.
- Archons are minor gods that can enter our world by inhabiting human vessels and deceive humanity.
Sudden Download And Exhausting Channeling
- Joanna describes being overwhelmed during Christmas 2023 when research and a book project suddenly possessed her energy and drove intense work rhythms.
- She felt used as a channel: intense downloads, sleepless rewrites, then a sudden sensation of being 'spit out' when the book completed.
Consciousness Is Not Code
- Transhumanism and post-humanism treat consciousness as transferable code and promise mechanical immortality, which Joanna rejects as spiritually ignorant.
- She argues the divine spark (Gnosis) is non-transferable and cannot be reduced to rational computation.
