Mythology is the secret language of the Spirit, as well as the collective dream of humanity. It is a universe of archetypes, symbols and dreams that not only point towards the Transcendental but can ignite the liberation of both mind and soul. The ancients understood the power of Mythology, and modern man is finally beginning to appreciate its sublime gifts. Yet few truly understand how to utilize Myth as a tool to unlock the inner realms of the psyche and break open the layers of mundane reality. The Gnostics were one of the greatest masters of Mythology in all of history. They re-interpreted oppressive theologies to mine for virtuous truths, expressed their artistic vision of the cosmos, and created fields of metaphor to decipher the human condition. More importantly perhaps, The Gnostics actually left coded rituals, meditations and exercises in their Myths that could induce altered states of consciousness and release an individual's divine potential. Not only do we delve into Gnostic and comparative mythology in its latest scholarship, we present these hidden tools left behind for those seeking the path of holy heresy. Their first clue resides in a passage from the Gospel of Philip that states, 'Truth did not come into the world naked, it came in types and images...one must enter through the image into The Truth.' We learn how to enter the image into The Truth. Astral Guest--Laurence Caruana, author of 'Enter Through the Image: The Ancient Image Language of Myth, Art and Dreams ' and 'The Hidden Passion-A Novel of the Gnostic Christ Based on the Nag Hammadi Texts '. Topics Discussed: --Understanding the ancient Greek/Egyptian/Gnostic concept of ‘The One’, and how it is the fountainhead of all myth, religion and even art. --The reality idolatry is really one of the great tools for direct experience with The Divine (no surprise since Orthodoxy is against it). --Evidence that the Gnostics participated in Entheogen practices, directly imparted by the Logos. --Why so many postmodern concepts such as existentialism, claustrophobia, nihilism and even ‘the bad trip’ were already present in Gnostic philosophy and mythology (as well the keys to transcending them). --Why consciously using different myths for art is a synthetic pursuit, unless one has Gnosis first. --The reasons humanity is incapable of creating new myths in these modern times (and what to do about it). And much more!!!
