Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio

We were joined at the Virtual Alexandria by comedian and host of Soberish, Jessa Reed. She discussed her life and remarkable insights. This included overcoming meth addiction, near-death experience, alien encounters, and revelations into the reality we exist in a simulation ending soon with the coming of a new higher-dimensional existence. I dig her work and mind a lot, and I think you will too. Regardless, it's the end of the world as we know it and you can now feel fine.

Always a pleasure when Robert arrives at the Virtual Alexandria. This time he laid his cards on the table about his life, while also sharing helpful ideas from Vedanta, the Tarot, Gnosticism, and other alternative disciplines. Our discussion addressed the mental breakdown of the collective psyche in 2020, at the same time exploring the complex maze that is the personal psyche. In the end, we wonder if we have free at all and are we at the end of an age.

We host the acclaimed journalist who exposed the Gospel of Jesus’s Wife fiasco. More than one of history’s most famous and bizarre forgery controversies, this is a cautionary tale on academic machinations, tragic projections fueled by ambition, and the fine line between reason and faith. The saga of this text is a mirror into the human condition as well as insight into the sensationalist waters Mary Magdalene and the Gnostics have sailed in for centuries. Astral Guest – Ariel Sabar, author of  Veritas: A Harvard Professor, a Con Man and the Gospel of Jesus's Wife. This is a partial show for nonmembers.

We become deeply acquainted with the ancient practice of resurrecting while still alive – as shamanistic discipline practiced by the Gnostics, Mystery Religions, Egyptian mystics, and Hellenistic philosophers. Our journey takes us from the secret teaching of Jesus to the Mandaeans to the Knights Templars – all to understand if the art of resurrection has survived for us to employ today. Astral Guest – Freddy Silva, author of The Lost Art of Resurrection: Initiation, secret chambers and the quest for the Otherworld. As a bonus, Dr. Joanna Kujawa joined us to discuss the rising and dying goddesses: Inanna, Isis, Ishtar, Sophia, Persephone, and others. This is a partial show for nonmembers.

We had an incredible roundtable with a group of mystics, heretics, therapists, and oriental practitioners. We covered much esoteric ground, including alchemy, Kabbalah, Gnosticism, Jungian therapy, Taoism, ghosts — all to find mental and spiritual solutions to the dark psychic forces that have settled on western culture. Much of our discussion was based on the book Concerto of the Rising Sun. And for strange reasons, we talked about smoking and pooping right, as well as audiobook voiceovers. Heresy shouldn’t be this much fun, but it just is. Astral Guests: Ram Fec, Erik P. Antoni, Carl Joseph DeMarco, and Graham Dunlop & Darren Grimes from Grimerica.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/aeon-byte-gnostic-radio/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

We explore the ancient arts of inner knowing, a journey that takes us to primordial goddesses, cosmic magic, and the wisdom of the ages. Although these mystic disciplines have resurrected after millennia of suppression, they are being lost and distorted in recent times. Time to reboot the Gnosis of arcane heretics, the chaos of Cybele, and the summoning of mercurial spirits before the world goes dark again. Time for the season of the witch.

It's finally out after many promises and plans of mice and men (and gods too)! I couldn't think of anyone better for our first show than Eric. We discuss from an esoteric and traditional perspective how to deal with alcoholism, bipolar disorder, and depression. As serious as the topics are, we had a blast in exploring Gnostic fire and Promethean ice. Our discussion covered William Blake, Herman Melville, David Foster Wallace, Alan Watts, and other significant figures who found their Hermes and descended into the human soul's undergrounds. Some returned, some didn't. What will your end be? The Finding Hermes program is out, gradually rolled out but in tiers, found at Patreon or AB Prime. Astral Guest — Eric G. Wilson, author of Polaris Ghost and Professor of English at Wake Forest University.

From the mysticism of ancient Sumerians to the piety of the Christian faithful to the magic of modern occultists, we get acquainted with perennial planetary and stellar entities. This quest not only teaches us how to call upon the gifts of angels and archangels but the ability to call upon our inner divinity for improved existence and the power to overcome life’s trials.

We were joined for a debate on reincarnation by two heavy-hitters in Gnostic circles who represent what is best in Gnosis: Scott Smith, author of God Reconsidered, and John Munter, author of The Samaritan Jesus. Two went into a cage and a thousand lifetimes came out. Seriously, it was a spirited and friendly debate on the doctrine of reincarnation. Scott argued for its shortcomings while John supported its strengths. Our discussion evolved into other cool topics like whether creation is benign or malevolent, karma, aliens, and much more. With audience questions, it was an evening full of mirth and Gnosis.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/aeon-byte-gnostic-radio/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

A fascinating yet vexing question in religious studies is why did Gnosticism vilify the Old Testament god yet embrace the Torah? New scholarship provides answers – taking us to ancient times where priests and kings quarreled over the nature of the gods, the issue of iniquity, and proper social order. These insights will shed light on the influence, magical practices, and theology of Gnostic groups like the Mandaeans and the Sethians, as well as the formation of Christianity.
