A broad and rewarding conversation on Ayahuasca and other psychedelics. Our discussion involved the insights of innovative thinkers like CG Jung, Terence McKenna, Friedrich Schelling, and many others. We delved into the rich mythology and traditions of South American tribes, balanced by the current science on the risks and rewards of therapeutic psychedelics. Beyond entheogens, we shared how humanity's future rises or falls by transforming its consciousness and reconnecting with the land's ancient magic.Astral Guest -- Christian Funder, author of Grandmother Ayahuasca: Plant Medicine and the Psychedelic Brain.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/aeon-byte-gnostic-radio/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

GET MY NEW EBOOK, 10 SNACKABLE MEDITATIONS: https://thegodabovegod.com/10-snackable-meditations-2/Humanity has long struggled grappling with dark forces. Reason and religion have fallen short in defeating the “things that go bump in the night.” Yet there is a middle, psychospiritual path provided by innovative thinkers like CG Jung, John Keel, Jacques Vallee, and others (including daring exorcists/ghost hunters). We thread the sanity needle through that middle path, between demons and serial killers, poltergeists and homicidal cult leaders, to understand the paranormal and integrate individual/collective shadows.Astral Guest – Anthony Tyler, author of Hunt Manual: 21st Century Demonology & Forteana.This is a partial show.

This was our annual Halloween Special, with a roundtable of gnosis veterans. As with last year, we challenged both orthodox and occult golden calves. We took on Scientology, Conspiracy Theory Culture, Mainstream Christianity, Ufology, Alchemy, and more. No one was safe, and the audience provided some outstanding questions and comments on the nature of reality, Gnosticism, and what will happen when the guests and I go to hell after we die.Our astral guests were Scott Smith, author of God Reconsidered, Sandra Wells, a pagan and Gnostic sympathizer, and Christian Smith, studying to become a chaplain under the guidance of Bishop Stephan Hoeller of Ecclesia Gnostica.Get my eBook: 10 Snackable MeditationsThis is a partial show.

One of the fastest-growing religions in the west centers on a mysterious death goddess. Her movement has been persecuted in modern times by both government and religious entities. We speculate on the heretical Santa Muerte and explore the practices, theologies, and cultural impact surrounding this mercurial folk saint. In the end, we discover that death is pregnant with so much life.Astral Guest – Dr. Andrew Chesnut, author of Devoted to Death: Santa Muerte, the Skeleton Saint, and Professor of Religious Studies at Virginia Commonwealth University.This is a partial show.

This episode was different but very exciting. First, we live-streamed a recent video interview I conducted with Dr. April Deconick. She shared the latest on Gnostics studies, focusing on the Transcendent God, the ultimate goal of the mystic flights of the ancient heretics. It was also an excellent summary of Gnosticism. Then we an AMA or Ask Me Anything. A first of its kind! Through this odyssey, we were joined by Anon Omous, past guest and author of Revelations On Interstellar Highway 10.This is a partial show.

What is the daimon/daemon, and can it work for your higher purpose and better life? The answer is yes, especially with the right astrological, meditative, magical, or psychological tools. The daimon has guided many significant historical figures, including Socrates, Plotinus, Blake, Goethe, PKD, and Jesus (Gnostic view). Beyond gaining the eldritch tech to access our daimon, we journey through history to understand its presence, from Chaldean magicians to Neoplatonic sages, from Arabic mysticism to Thelema.Astral Guests – Cat Rose Neligan, author of Discovering Your Personal Daimon.This is a partial show.

Belief in angelic or human-bird/avianoid as a messenger between the divine and humans is found in the Abrahamic, ancient Greek, Mesopotamian and Egyptian records, and worldwide among shamanic and animistic peoples. Are these beings real or just mortal projections? Or in between? We traveled to prehistoric and ancient history to find out. We were joined by Bernie Taylor, author of Before Orion: Finding the Face of the Hero. The show got very Jungian archetypal, alternative archeological, and just awe-inspiring. And Bigfoot made a lot of appearances, for some reason.As mentioned in the intro, get Holy Wisdom and the Logos of God by James Brantingham on Kindle.

We engage in an exhaustive study of Neoplatonism — including its impact on modern culture — finding its useable, spiritual tech to connect with the Divine. What is exactly is Theurgy, and how can it be implemented in our quest for consciousness expansion? What gave rise to the Neoplatonists, and why did they clash with their spiritual siblings, the Gnostics? How did Neoplatonism engage with the notions of evil and suffering? From Plotinus to Proclus to Iamblichus, we journey to intimately experience the One and how it became the Many (us!).Astral Guests – Dr. Jeffrey Kupperman, author of A Theurgist Book of Hours, and John Edgecomb, author of Becoming Aeon.This is a partial show.

Many theories abound on UFOs and other extraterrestrial encounters. Leading-edge scholarship argues they are not mutually exclusive — but are facets of a single, complex, and terrifying paradigm. The Archon control of our planet is complete, multidimensional, and across timelines. Does humanity stand a chance for freedom considering terrestrial governments waffle on their reveals and are often just puppets in a cosmic game of thrones? From Atlantis to Mars, from alien abductions to breakaway civilizations, we find solutions in the gnosis of astral Promethean tricksters and Mothmen.Astral Guest – Jason Reza Jorjani, author of Closer Encounters.This is a partial show.

We got acquainted with legendary artist Alphonse Mucha – from his Freemason background to his Rosicrucian art, from his impact on occult Paris to his ordeal under Nazi fury. This included his mystical exploration of the Gnostic androgynous divinity in LE PATER (The Lord's Prayer), a work the Catholic Church censored. Writer, art historian, and film producer Thomas Negovan joined us at the Virtual Alexandria.Astral Guest -- Thomas Negovan, art historian, film producer, and author of Le Pater: Alphonse Mucha's Symbolist Masterpiece and the Lineage of Mysticism.This is a partial show.

We take a concise journey to the history, theory, and practice of “the great work”—the art of working with the energies of nature for spiritual development, healing, and transformation. More than a journey, you’ll gain the means to tap into the promises of alchemy in these nigredo, dystopian times. And understand the deepest mysteries of those Gnostic and Hermetic alchemists who unlocked the secrets of the ouroboros. These may still be your grandma’s alchemy, but now you’ll do in a way that works for your needs.Astral Guest – Brian Cotnoir, author of Practical Alchemy: A Guide to the Great Work. This is a partial show.

The amazing Jessa Reed joined me to chat about some casual topics: Being a mystic methhead, alien encounters, and the collapse of western culture. But the apocalypse is ultimately Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain, as we shared on higher states of being, overcoming drugs & mental illness, and how to peer through the Empire's hologram. What is coming is amazing for those awake and those who refuse to stop dreaming of a better world.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/aeon-byte-gnostic-radio/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Gordon White materialized at the Virtual Alexandria to discuss our crumbling reality and what to do about it. The Empire's hologram is shifting, and each of us has the means to surf that energy beyond the Rainbow Bridge to find our purpose and authentic self. Get ready for a lot of myth, magic, and meaning. We're taking an Uber away from Omelas, and Gordon served liberating doses of animist, shamanism, and primordial philosophy.This is a partial show.

In the beginning, God went crazy and became us. For sanity restored, visionary artist and author Laurence Caruana took us to the scene of the crime: the Gnostic Creation myth. More than a crime, it’s an evocative, immersive, and beautiful tale of consciousness first becoming aware and the adventures of the Aeon Sophia down a cosmic rabbit hole. Beyond that, we covered breathtaking ground on the history and theology of Gnosticism. And Laurence’s future plans for a Gnostic Chapel based on The Secret Book of John in France will blow you away.This is a partial show.

Let’s take a daring journey to find when and where the ancient Gnostics emerged. Were they originally pre-Christian, and what metaphysics influenced them? This quest will theorize that the original Christian church — long before orthodoxy — was a motley band of apocalyptical mystics and mystery religion advocates. We will also sojourn back to our time for several modern Gnostic manifestations, as certain visionaries help us accurately understand Gnosticism's core ethos.Astral Guest – Robert Price, author of Judaizing Jesus.This is a partial show.

Duncan Trussell joined me to talk about the positive notion of getting ready for death. Seriously, it's positive! We connected Buddhism and Gnosticism, exploring those bardos where authentic living happens. Death is an illusion and materialism is a bad dream. Beyond how to embrace a life of passion and compassion, Duncan shared his ideas on overcoming fear, living in a gangsta-virus paradise, and what he's learned from his podcast and his series, The Midnight Gospel. We laughed, the archons cried, and we discovered how unreal reality is.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/aeon-byte-gnostic-radio/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Mainstream religions and secular authorities have robbed humanity of its passionate edge. We turn to ancient warrior castes to find the means to make the soul dynamic once again – from the fierce piety of the Knights Templar to the ardent poetry of the Samurai. This spiritual exploration will include insights from various martial arts, all overseen by the more vitalizing teachings of Gurdjieff. Without this pivot, the collective consciousness will continue to descend into the jaws of fear and consumerism.Astral Guest – Stefan H.

With the collapse of comic books and their movie adaptations, it’s a wise time to reflect on how initially the genre became a beacon of mythical wonder for humanity. The main font is Jack Kirby. He created such hallowed characters as Iron Man, Thor, Black Panther, Captain America, the X-Men, the Eternals, etc. We explore Kirby's life, influences, and mysticism – including his Gnostic vision and cosmologies that remain today an influence on modern culture.Astral Guest – Chris Knowles, author of The Endless American Midnight.This is a partial show.

Steve Seven returned to the Virtual Alexandria for healing doses of depth psychology and holistic living. In addition, he presented a grim picture of the mental health industry, often sharing dark speculations on the state of the world. From implanted memories by technocrats to growing your food to own the archons, our conversation had something for everyone and surely will bring a strong reaction from many.
