Many folks identify their religious journeys as quests, a word that shares in the etymology of “question.” So it’s not surprising that Talk Gnosis fans are such a curious lot. Periodically, we like to make a list of your questions and answer them in a special show. Please note: This show was taped before the recent deaths of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain. While the Talk Gnosis team answered the question of why Gnostics might choose to end their physical lives after achieving transcendence theoretically, we want you to know, in the most reality-based terms, that you matter, you are important, and that your life has value. https://ia601508.us.archive.org/19/items/TalkGnosisQASpecial_201806/Talk%20Gnosis%20Q%26A%20Special.mp3 Subscribe to the video on YouTube | Subscribe to the podcast via RSS | Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes | Subscribe to the podcast on Stitcher The opinions expressed in this show do not necessarily reflect those of the Gnostic Wisdom Network, the Apostolic Johannite Church, or any other organization.

Scott Smith (http://godreconsidered.com) joins us to discuss his new book, God Reconsidered. Scott makes a case for the rational and scientific exploration of the divine and supernatural phenomena. His experience with any different religious traditions places him in a unique position to approach this topic with a broad understanding. We talk about Ghosts, ESP, near death experiences and more. We also ask Scott to share his thoughts on Gnosticism, and how his understanding of the divine is slightly different. https://archive.org/download/TalkGnosisGodReconsidered/Talk%20Gnosis%20God%20Reconsidered.mp3 Subscribe to the video on YouTube | Subscribe to the podcast via RSS | Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes | Subscribe to the podcast on Stitcher The opinions expressed in this show do not necessarily reflect those of the Gnostic Wisdom Network, the Apostolic Johannite Church, or any other organization.
