#41 Apocalypse Nowhere. The Gnostic view on The Book of
Revelation: Never has a Bible book incurred so much controversy and made
so many people rich. Is it a hidden message about Roman persecution or a
secret prophecy about the end of time? But there is a third alternative
revealing it actually houses an esoteric message about the personal redemption
of humans. Astral guest: Gary Hudson, author of ‘Revelation:
Awakening The Christ Within’ and ‘The Secret Things: The Hidden
Wisdom of The Gospel of Thomas'. 03/11/2007
#42 A Scanner
Lightly. Philip K. Dick:
Gnostic Prophet, drug induced madman, sci-fi master or all of the above? We’ve scratched upon him in past
shows but this time we delve deep within his visions, gospels, prophecies and modern
yet relevant Gnostic views. Astral guest: Jeremy Puma, author of ‘The Pirate’s
Garden’, ‘Running Towards The Bomb’ and ‘Brother Tom's Miracle Book of Signs and Wonders!’, as well as owner
and administrator of The Palm Tree
Garden. 03/18/2007
#43 Bravehearts.
The Gnostic Legacy on the Renaissance & Enlightenment Period. The reality is that without the Gnostic
spark we would have never had the Renaissance. Without the Gnostic spark, the
Enlightenment Period would have been half as bright. Without the Gnostic spark, we would have
been robbed of some of the greatest thinkers, poets and mystics of all of
history. We take a hard look at the
Gnostic legacy in history. Astral
guest: Richard Smoley, author of ‘Forbidden Faith: The
Gnostic Legacy’, ‘Inner
Christianity: A Guide to the Esoteric Tradition’, ‘Hidden Wisdom: A
Guide to the Western Inner Traditions’ and editor of Quest Books and
former editor of Gnosis Magazine. 03/25/2007
#44 Horus of
Nazareth. The Egyptian Christ
and The Tomb of Jesus Controversy.
It’s a double science fiction picture show. What if the figure of Jesus came
directly from the Egyptian Mysteries and was based solely on one Egyptian God,
not an amalgamation of dying/rising godman as
we’ve been told? We also sift
through the Tomb of Jesus saga that has rocked the world. Astral Guests: Tom
Harpur, author of ‘The Pagan
Christ’ and ‘Water Into Wine’ & Nathaniel
Merritt, author of ‘Jehovah Unmasked’ and ‘I Was a
Teenage Jehovah Witness’. 04/01/2007
#45 Saving
Private Dawkins. A follow up of
The Kabbalah and the Cosmos. Howard
Smith returns to field questions from listeners about such controversial topics
as Evolution vs. Intelligent Design, String Theory, the Oscillating Universe vs.
an expanding one, and many other topics.
Once again, it’s a show to understand how the mystical and the
scientific go hand in hand in understand humanity and its places in a large
cosmos. Astral Guests: Howard Smith, author of ‘Let There Be Light:
Modern Cosmology & The Kabbalah’.04/08/2007

The Scribe Who Loved Me. The Orthodox corruption and censorship
of Scriptures. Beyond the polemics
of the Church Fathers against Gnostics, women and Jews, much of the changes
were made by errors and agendas of the various scribes that copied thousands of imprecise
manuscripts. We try to make sense
of how in the world a Bible even came together. Astral Guest: Bart Ehrman,
author of the best selling
‘Misquoting Jesus’, ‘Lost Christianities:
The Battles for Scripture and the Faiths We Never Knew’ &
‘Peter, Paul, and Mary Magdalene: The Followers of
Jesus in History and Legend’.

#47 Jacque De
Moley and the Templars of
Doom—The Knights Templar.
We take a sober look beyond the controversy and sensationalism of this
suddenly popular knighthood. We
separate the fable from the facts.
We explore their origins, traditions, ritual and culture, as well as
their history from their rise as protectors of pilgrims to their fall after
being the world’s most powerful bankers. Astral Guest: Karen Ralls, PH.D, author of ‘The Templars
and the Grail’ and ‘Knights Templar Encyclopedia’. 04/22/2007
#48 Gnostic Tombraider—The Ark of The Covenant, Mary, Secret
Societies and The Shroud of
#49 A Tarot
For All Seasons—The Tarot and the Accidental Christ. It’s an in depth look at the Tarot
Deck that includes its real purpose, real origins and real power. Our guest also discusses his new fiction
book about a Gnostic Jesus in a very blasphemous story. Astral Guest: Lon
Milo Duquette , author of ‘Accidental
Christ’, ‘Understanding Aleister Crowley's Thoth
Tarot’, and ‘The Magick of Aleister Crowley’. 05/06/2007
#50 Altered
States—Gnostic Cinema.
We’ve touched upon this before, but now we take an in depth safari
through Gnostic-themed movies of the last century, from Frankestein
to Donnie Darko.
We delve into Kabbalistic and Alchemical film
as well. Astral Guest: Eric G. Wilson, author of ‘Secret Cinema:
Gnostic Vision in Film’, ‘The Spiritual History of Ice:
Romanticism, Science and the Imagination’ and Professor of English at
#51 True Lies--Bible
Fables and Counter Apologetics. The
truth is that most theologies we take for granted in The Bible aren’t even
Biblical to begin with like Eternal Damnation, The Trinity and many more. We remove the lies and give you
what’s truly in the Orthodox Scriptures, as well as ways to get around
Apologetic arguments. Astral Guest: Nathaniel
Merritt, author of ‘Jehovah Unmasked’ & ‘I Was a
Teenage Jehovah Witness’. 05/27/2007

Christianities—Inner Christianity. Believe or not (and I’m trying not
to) there is a wealth of esoteric Christianity beyond Gnosticism. Many draw from the Gnostics, many have
forged their own path, most of them have kept Orthodoxy from ruling
completely. Astral Guest: Richard Smoley author of forbidden Faith: The
Gnostic Legacy’, ‘Inner
Christianity: A Guide to the Esoteric Tradition’, ‘Hidden Wisdom: A
Guide to the Western Inner Traditions’ and editor of Quest Books and
former editor of Gnosis Magazine. 06/03/2007
#53 Hermes and
Me—Hermetism & Astral Travel. Gnosticism has a pagan cousin called Hermetism, which was influential in ancient times, The Renaissance,
The Enlightenment Period and most of today’s Occult Studies. We begin exploring this essential prism
of The Gnostics. We also give a
lesson on how to Astral Travel from the comfort of your own home. Astral Guest: Aaron Leitch author of ‘Secrets of the Magickal Grimoires: The Classical
Texts of Magick Deciphered’. 06/10/2007
#54 Soul Men--The
Hymn of the Pearl & the Exegisis on the
Soul. Two of the most important and
beautiful Nag Hammadi Scriptures dealing with the fall of the soul. Mythic themes and cosmology that
doesn’t just deal with the Gnostic version of the fall but is also our
story. Astral Guest: Andrew Philip Smith author of ‘Gnostic
Writings on the Soul’, ‘The Gospel of Philip: Annotated and
Explained’ & ‘The Gospel of Thomas: A New Translation Based on
the Inner Meaning’. 06/24/2007
#55 The
Greatest Roman Story Ever Sold.
Is it possible that the historical Jesus might have been a creation by
the Roman nobility in order to marginalize the Jews and Pagan religions? That
the Gospels are both satire and propaganda for the powerbrokers of the Empire?
That Jesus is just a mask for a certain Roman Emperor who wished to create his
own mystery religion? Sure, why not? Anything is possible in Gnosticism. Astral
Guest: Joe Atwill,
author of ‘Caesar’s Messiah’. 07/01/2007
#56 A Night at the Mithraism. He shed his precious blood to save
mankind, was born of a virgin, ascended to
#57 Conspiracy Theory. We shift gears to unveil an amazing work
of fiction. R. Douglas Weber not
only worked for the State Department, he’s also an expert of all the
secret societies of history. His
book, ‘Solomon’s Key’, is both an esoteric manual that
includes all the players of the conspiracy world (Freemasons, OTO, Illuminati,
Templars, Scientology, the Vatican etc.) and a ultra-violent espionage thriller
that pits together all the puppet masters of the western world (Al-Qaeda, CIA, Mossad, MI5 etc.), all on a collision course to fulfill
their dark aspirations. In the
spirit of Robert Anton Wilson, no conspiracy theory is left unturned; and in
the spirit of Tom Clancy, all the new technology of warfare including psy-ops is examined in ghastly detail. Astral Guest—R. Douglas Weber, author of ‘Solomon’s Key’. 07/15/2007
#58 Thomas and
the Gnostic Engine. The debate
has raged for years, but we take a stand on the Fifth Gospel on the side of
Gnosis. We also recap its history,
impact, and decipher some of the harder and more mystical sayings. Astral
Guest—Jeremy Puma, author of ‘The Face of the Sky and Earth’ and
‘Mysteries of the Gnostic Ascent’. 07/22/2007
#59 The Gnosis
of CG Jung. Although known as
one of the fathers of depth psychology, Jung is arguably the greatest Gnostic
Master of the 20th Century.
Not only do we burrow into the life, contributions and esoteric leanings
of the Swiss Magician, we also bring new light to upcoming evidence that might
make him the greatest mystic in the last hundred years. Astral Guest—Stephan Hoeller, author of ‘The Gnostic Jung and the Seven Sermons to the
Dead’, ‘Gnosticism: New Light on the Ancient Tradition of Inner
Knowing’ and ‘Jung and the Lost Gospels’. 07/27/2007
#60 Starmen.
Astrotheology: This is the earliest of all religions. Man once deified the sun and its
celestial court for various reasons.
As time passed, the heavens were turned into stories and personalities
that later became our gods, including Buddha,
