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.

We present compelling evidence for the existence of a written pre-canonical Alpha gospel that was a foundation for the four gospels.

Chris Knowles materialized at the Virtual Alexandria to share some of his latest research, and it was raining Red Pills, hallelujah. Chris connected Maxwell, Epstein, Crowley, Parsons, and Lovecraft; and you can add transhumanist agencies, UFOs, and various secret societies as the deadly spice. It was Life in the Fast Ghislaine. We presented visuals along with this dark Gnosis, and we discussed how his novel is turning out to be a grim prophecy instead of fiction.

Jesse James remains a legend, the symbol of the individual overcoming the establishment. Yet behind both the official narrative and the American Robin Hood myth lies an astounding reality: Jesse James faked his death to lead an even more intriguing life. What’s more, he also guarded ancient secrets of forbidden treasures brought and hidden in America. Our exploration will encounter the Freemasons, Rosicrucians, Templars, Kabbalists, and other arcane societies – as well as expose a terrible time of civil war and wild wests that have eerie parallels to today’s culture.

And now for something (almost) completely different. Through some cool and sudden syncs, Jeffrey Mishlove agreed to talk with me about a topic he doesn't often cover: himself. Thus, the prominent host shared his own views on the Esoterica, his fascinating life, and the challenges/opportunities of being in the alternative media. It was a great conversation, with some news and views at the beginning and some bonuses at the end of the show.

We take a penetrating exploration of extraterrestrials, finding novel perspectives on such concepts as Ancient Aliens, the Grays, Flying Saucers, and Alien Abductions. These revelations expose an astral hierarchy that has lorded over humanity for millennia – in the past as gods of religious texts and myth but presently embedded in the highest echelons of our earthly power structures. Of course, we’ll deal with the Demiurge, Sophia, and the Archons in their interstellar realities. Astral Guest – Pierre Sabak, author of Holographic Culture. This is a partial show for nonmembers.

Independence Day comes early! Mark Cordova returns to the Virtual Alexandria after a long pause to discuss Yaldi Baldi and his angelic mafia. He'll grant some startling insights, including the notion that Jesus already vanquished the Powers and Principalities, but what remained was their offspring who are thousand times more dangerous. And much more. Mark will also share why he left the Gnostic scene, a tragic tale that saw him come back innocent and victorious. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/aeon-byte-gnostic-radio/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

We have a friendly but substantive chat with the host of the premier podcast on CG Jung and Jungian analysis. Our spanning discussion covers the life and times of the Swiss Magician, as well as conceptions like synchronicity, complexes, the shadow, archetypes, the Red Book, and the Seven Sermons to the Dead. We certainly cover why Jungian ideas are essential in a culture with an increasingly fragmenting psyche. Astral Guest – Laura London, host of Speaking of Jung. This is a partial show for nonmembers.

We deeply connect with several enduring spiritual exercises of Gurdjieff, at the same time getting a holistic picture of his teachings. These practices can help cope with fear, delusion, and anxiety— and achieve peace in these soul-eroding times. We also decipher many of Gurdjieff’s concepts like the Kundabuffer, the enneagram, food for the moon, and more. Astral Guest – Alan Francis, author of Secrets of the Fourth Way.

It's time to give a Gnostic take to the Archon-infestation of 2020. Don't expect too much of a political or statistical discussion, but an understanding of how Gnostic concepts can help you navigate many of the issues today for peace and clarity. Of course, we'll discuss other relevant issues on Gnostic studies and discoveries.

Our guest shares his gradual transformation from a fundamentalist Christian minister to modern Gnostic. This journey includes how he overcome pain and programming to reach a state of freedom by embracing Gnosticism and other esoteric traditions.

We celebrate our 14th anniversary by exploring the ideas of two striking individuals: HP Lovecraft and Acharya S. Although different in their work and lives, both figures looked to the stars for answers to the deepest nature of humankind. Both also took a deep dive into the stellar lagoons of the collective unconscious and brought back archetypal pearls of great wisdom – and often warning – changing the souls of so many individuals.

What is mysticism and what separates it from delusion? Can reason discern and nurture the mystical experience in an age of harsh scientism? We take the plunge into answering these questions and find how to prosper with mysticism in modernity — leaning on the ideas of CG Jung, Joseph Campbell, Michael Talbot, John Keel, and other innovative thinkers, as well as concepts like Neurophenomenology, Chaos Theory, and Heuristics.

The woman clothed with the sun in the Book of Revelation remains an intriguing figure in both religious and occult circles. What is the true identity of this cosmic heroine? With piercing scholarship, we realize that the enigmatic “Sun Lady” is the manifestation of a primordial wisdom goddess, and her story is nothing more than a Gnostic astral drama. We also find the true meaning of such apocalypse concepts as the Red Dragon, The Beast, 666, New Jerusalem, and more. Astral Guest – Alex Rivera, author of The Sun Lady Unveiled.

We go deep into the history and processes of the ancient art of transformation. We leave no Philosopher’s Stone unturned – from Hermes to CG Jung, from the secrets of the Ouroboros to the truth about turning lead-to-gold.

In these times, alchemy might be an essential spiritual tech in a world drowning hopelessly in nigredo.

We take an alternative view of Jesus that is largely supported by astute research. This viewpoint reveals a deeper dimension to the life of the Galilean savior — as well as a mystic side promoting both the wisdom of the ages and a unique theology to thrive under challenging times. From fresh insights in Bible parables to novel revelations on Mary Magdalene, we gain an overall message that is more important than ever.
