#22 The Song Remains The Same: We build upon the interview with Tobias
Churton who proved that many of the sixties musicians were aware and influenced
by Gnosticism. We go deeper and
taste the mysticism of Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, Pink
Floyd, The Police and several other Rock shamans. Perhaps you’ll be surprised that
Orpheus wasn’t only the first rock star but the first proto-Messiah that
influenced both Gnosticism and Christianity. Astral Guest: Brian Joseph,

#23 The Princes of
#24 Jesus Christ Fiction Star:
Misconceptions about the Jesus of The Bible and the Essene influence on Christianity. Civilization has taken
for granted many aspects of the Jesus character in the Canonical Bible. But the reality is that most of what we
know about Jesus might just be a mischaracterization, including his virgin
birth, being nailed to a cross, his birth in Bethlehem and living in Nazareth,
his humble background, his looks, and much more. In addition, we comb the layers of
Scripture to unearth that the theology and origins of The Redeemer might have
come from the mysterious Essene sect. Astral Guest: James
Gardner, author of ‘Jesus Who?’ and
editor of The Jesus Police Webpage. 10/22/2006

Mask off the Zohar: The Zohar
& The Divine
Feminine in Judaism. The Zohar (The
Book of Splendor) is one of the most important books in The Kabbalah. Many have said that it is the soul of
the living, organic Torah. It is
also one of the keys in unlocking the Divine Feminine in Judaism as well as the
restoration of the divine spark in all humans. Astral Guest: Daniel

Trilogy of Terror: A dark cult,
a strangled doctrine, and a religion that has lost its way. A triumvirate of hard hitting truths
because of the blindness of literalism:
--The
Jehovah Witness Cult: Its
practices, its principles and how one member survived its darkness to later
become a Gnostic.
--Reincarnation:
Where it’s found in Gnosticism and how it differs from other
traditions. Also, is it possible
that reincarnation was practiced by early Christianity and is even found in the
Orthodox Bible?
--The
corruption of Buddhism: How the
original teachings of The Buddha are nothing like we find around the world
today. What were they and what
happened?

Monty Pythagoras & The Meaning of Life. Not only might have he given you fits in
your high school geometry class, this mysterious figure coined the word
‘philosophy’, was initiated in the Orphic & Egyptian Mysteries,
understood the universe as a harmony of music, math and magic, and founded
perhaps the first egalitarian, ascetic cadre of freethinkers in the West. He influenced most of the greatest
philosophers of

Snakes On The Astral Plane. The Serpent & The Goddess: They are also known as Eve & The
Snake, Ophine & Euronyme,
Jesus & Mary Magdalene, Arthur Penndragon &

been suppressed for thousands of years.
Yet this primordial syzygy reveals not only the path to gnosis, but the

The Return of the Sufi. Sufism, Sufis, Rumi & The Persian Poets:
An adventure into the Gnostic branch of Islam, from their origins,
parallels & theologies. In
addition, brand new, accurate translations of Rumi and other Persian Poets that
grant a new insight into their very Gnostic message (a far cry from the New Age
stuff you might have read). Astral

Seth. The origins, influence and theology of Sethian
Gnosticism. Not only was Sethianism the fountainhead of so many Gnostic
schools in antiquity, including the Valentinians, Mandeans & Manicheans,
the Sethians were the Christianity before Christianity centuries before the
historical Jesus. Astral Guest: John Turner, author of ‘Sethian Gnosticism

#34 A New
Hope. The Kabbalah & The
Cosmos: How mystical Judaism and modern cosmology view the origins of the
universe, the purpose of existence and the evolution of Creation in the same
way. The ancients believed that the
secular and the sacred went hand in hand, but we have lost that as a modern
society. Yet the reality is that
esoteric and rational thinking not only have striking similarities and goals,
but their marriage can bring forth a deeper and more complete understanding of
the universe and humanity’s role in it. Astral Guest: Howard Smith, author of ‘Let There Be Light:
Modern Cosmology and The Kabbalah’, senior astrophysicist at the Harvard-

of Jesus. Beyond Gnosticism and
Christianity, Jesus has been quoted extensively, from Church Fathers to Saints,
from Sufis to Eastern Gurus, from the Koran to mysterious scraps found in
#36 The Johannite Empire Strikes Back:
The Johannite Tradition and Rise of modern Gnostic Churches. There is an ancient Gnostic tradition
that places John the Baptizer as the highest Gnostic revealer, found in the
doctrine of the Mandeans, Leonardo Da Vinci, The
Templars and other esoteric entities.
We trace the roots of this belief, all the way to the modern
#37 Good Will Heresy Hunting: The
Old And New Inquisition Against the Gnostics. The foundation of The Inquisition began
with the Heresiologists and their polemics on the Gnostics. The seeds of the Totalitarian Regime--
including thought crime, instilling horror in the population and public
confessions, just to name a few, borrowed from the Church Father’s ideas
in their wars against the Cathars.
Later in history, in a very conscious way, these methods were utilized
by modern fascist and socialist regimes.
There has always been an intellectual movement to banish the
Gnostics. We reveal that this
movement is alive as ever.
It’s a chilling reality.

#40 Enter The
Mystics: The Medieval and Enlightenment Gnostics. Underneath the suffocating grip of
Orthodoxy in the Middle Ages, some of the greatest
mystics survived and thrived to carry the torch of gnosis. Among these were Eliphas
Levi, Paracelsus and John Dee. This
is their story. Astral guest: Phil Gardiner,
