  • There’s too much confusion

    There’s too much confusion
    2023/06/17
    This week's episode is about confusion versus simplicity. Our God is not a god of confusion, but of peace. If you find yourself becoming more and more confused when studying gnostic scriptures and books about gnosticism, it's possible you are heading down the wrong rabbit trails. We don't need to learn how historical gnostics practiced their religion. We don't need to memorize arcane diagrams and rituals. All we need to do is remember the gnosis that is already within us. Anything more than that may be leading to confusion rather than clarity. And if you find yourself becoming disillusioned and disheartened, then what you're learning is likely demiurgic and not gnosis.

  • Birth of the Demiurge

    Birth of the Demiurge
    2023/06/24
    What is the Demiurge and how did it come about? What was the presumptuous thought that led the youngest Aeon to overreach and fall and how does that relate to Self and Ego? Why would the Father set things up so that this Aeon could make a unilateral decision that resulted in the Fall? Was it a mistake? Did God cause this Aeon to create evil? How is such a thing even possible? Was it God's will that it should fall?

  • Demiurgic Justice

    Demiurgic Justice
    2023/07/01
    A podcast listener recently asked me to amend my categorization of the Demiurge as a malevolent force. He asked me to read the "Epistle to Flora" from The Gnostic Scriptures to see that the Demiurge is a force for good on the right hand side of the ledger. In other words, is the Demiurge evil or good? Turns out it's a controversial subject in the Gnostic community. That is what we consider on today's podcast.

  • Revisiting Reincarnation

    Revisiting Reincarnation
    2023/07/22
    That the "you" that exists between material incarnations is nothing but your karmic record is proved by one of our basic assertions that all units of consciousness are fundamentally one and the same, and that all units of consciousness begin their individuated journey as perfect echoes of God. Then it follows that "I" develop as a result of my choices and the choices of others—“I” am my perfect unit of consciousness enshrouded in karma and the memes that my karma attracts.

  • Aeons, Archons, Angels, or Aliens? A Gnostic Interpretation of Ancient Aliens Theory

    Aeons, Archons, Angels, or Aliens? A Gnostic Interpretation of Ancient Aliens Theory
    2023/07/29
    This episode pays attention to the question continually raised by the ancient aliens theorists—were the “gods” of the pre-flood era merely misinterpreted alien visitors with alien tech? Are the “fallen angels” of the Book Enoch angels from God, or were they actually ancient astronauts who moved to earth and occasionally married human women? It is said that the worldwide flood was sent by God to wipe out the angel-human offspring known as Nephilim. What were the Nephilim and what God would have wiped out the entire earth and everyone on it to kill them off, and how is it that some humans were spared by warnings from “angels”?
