The Book of Revelation (or the Apocalypse of John): Never has a book in the Canonical Bible stirred so much controversy and made so many people rich. Is it just a coded message against the Roman persecution or perhaps a blueprint for the carnage at the end of time? But perhaps there is a third alternative--John actually encoded an esoteric tool for spiritual death and rebirth that echoes the Gnostic keynotes. Special Guest-- Gary Hudson, author of 'Revelation: Awakening The Christ Within' and 'The Secret Things: The Hidden Wisdom of The Gospel of Thomas'. Topics Discussed: --The Gnostic view on the end of the world and the rational view on the twaddle of the tribulation and pre-tribulation world scenarios. --Taking a second glance at the complicated symbolism of Revelation and how it could lead to the doorways of enlightenment. From the woman clothed with the stars to the different angels and their attributes. And there is always that peculiar sight of Jesus with a sword in his mouth! --How each step of the book is a roadmap to inner contemplation instead of an actual event in a past or possible history. --How Simplifying the complicated cosmology with Eastern ideas can make this book one of the most approachable and benign books of The Bible. --Gary's discovery of true Gnostic mediation techniques to access Sophia (it's about time!). And much more (I always give away too much in these promos, I feel). Why read 'The Left Behind Series' when we already know that we were left behind as soon as this universe was crafted by the Cosmocrator?
