Aeon Byte #116-- Why Do we Suffer? The Gnostic View With Tim Roux, author of 'Fishing for Christians'  
All faiths possess their reasoning for the reality of suffering. The Gnostics claim their own unique slant, oddly paralleling other religions yet at the same time just as oddly original. Through the eyes of a brand new Gnostic Gospel, in the form of a powerful fiction novel, we explore how the Gnostics saw the origins of iniquity and other theological conundrums that to this day bring great confusion and debate among all the world's ideologies. Astral Guest-- Tim Roux, author of ‘Fishing for Christians' & 'Girl on a Bar Stool'. Topics Discussed: --Understanding the various ways Gnostics understood and dealth with the reality of suffering. --How the Gnostic view of suffering and iniquity compares to other faiths. --Exploring other difficult spiritual themes like human and divine perfection, the logical reasons for having Creation, the hypostasis of the Ultimate Source, and much more. --Is there truly a way to escape suffering and iniquity in this world, or was Buddha, the Greeks and the Gnostics right? --A didactic look into Tim’s poignant book that echoes Jung’s ‘Seven Sermons to the Dead’, Philip K. Dick, Neil Gaiman, and a serious Terri Prachett. --Really…why the Hades are we even here? Possibilities. And much more. Like Bishop Hoeller said, ‘Every serious artist is already half a Gnostic’. Let’s close the circle with Tim’s gnosis.
