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.

It wasn’t too long ago that Christmas was a dark and scary time. People told ghost stories by the fire, Krampus roamed the countryside, and you probably would have died. Benito Cereno of Comics Alliance (benito-cereno.tumblr.com) joins us to talk about the spooky traditions of Christmas from around the world. https://archive.org/download/TalkGnosisTheDarkSideOfChristmas/Talk%20Gnosis%20The%20Dark%20Side%20of%20Christmas.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.

We are joined by eminent Neoplatonic scholar and all-around cool guy Dr. Jeffrey S. Kupperman to talk about an enigmatic bit of esoteric history, the Rosicrucians. These fascinating people (or were they just a hoax?) had a profound impact on the world. We talk about who they might have been and how they influenced esoteric orders to the present day. https://archive.org/download/TalkGnosisTheRosicruciansPodcast/Talk%20Gnosis%20The%20Rosicrucians%20Podcast.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.

In our fourth and final conversation with Richard Hodges of the Gurdjieff Foundation, we pick up where we left off and talk about the Laws of Three and Seven and how they relate to the enneagram. We discuss sacred movement and dance as part of The Work, and the “conditions” of The Work as practiced in the working groups. We tie things up in a nice bow by talking about the similarities of the Gurdjieff material to Gnosticism, and then some book and practice recommendations.

Part three of four of our chat with Gurdjieff expert Richard Hodges leads us to some really strange concepts, like the Kundabuffer, Food for the Moon, and Gurdjieff seminal work: Beelzebub’s Tales to His Grandson. We also talk about the difference between symbols and metaphors, and we finish off with an explanation of the Law of Seven.
