Talk Gnosis

In this episode, Deacon* John DiGilio Shares his experience as a Buddhist practitioner and a Gnostic to enlighten us about Enlightenment. He tells us how he views the purpose of Gnosticism as related to Buddhism, how each tradition views the soul, and some of the practices that are useful for people on either path. https://archive.org/download/FinalAudioTalkGnosisAfterDark076/Final%20Audio%20Talk%20Gnosis%20After%20Dark%20076.mp3 Subscribe to the podcast via RSS | Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes | Subscribe to the podcast on Stitcher Or download the podcast by right clicking and saving this link: Talk Gnosis After Dark #76 Click here for the video portion of this interview.

James McGrath of Butler University joins us once again to explain how scholars deal with the figure of Jesus. Is there a vast international conspiracy to convince you that Jesus was a real person? Well, not really. It’s a game of probabilities. Scholars say that, given the evidence we have, it’s more likely than not that there was an actual dude named Jesus walking around in the desert 2000 years ago. Of course, you are free to draw your own conclusions, and a belief in Gnosticism certainly does not need to include a belief in a historical Jesus. https://archive.org/download/FinalAudioTalkGnosisAfterDark071/Final%20Audio%20Talk%20Gnosis%20After%20Dark%20071.mp3 Support us on Patreon and you can watch this podcast as a video!
