We explore the work of one of history’s greatest film directors: Krzysztof Kieślowski. This includes the symbolic and mystic meanings of such classics as The Double Life of Veronique and The Three Colors trilogy. Our discussion leads into broader esoteric themes like Jungian psychology, extended consciousness, and idealism.

Beyond drawing from Egyptian mythology, the Book of Genesis is a coded chronology of ancient Egypt. The Hebrew patriarchs are more than fables, paralleling key pharaohs and their dynastic intrigue. We explore the Old Testament heroes with breakthrough scholarship that unveils a secret history — as well the Egyptian myths behind major Judeo-Christian stories. From Akhenaten to Moses, from Horus to the Nephilim, we leave no pyramid-stone uncovered.

On this Aeon Byte Live, we celebrated the show’s 13th anniversary by closing many loops. Gordon White and Chris Knowles honored the Virtual Alexandria for a journey that covered astrotheology, star maps, ancient & modern Gnosticism, and how the Empire Never Ended. In the end, it was a stark warning on weaponized Gnosticism, but with a hopeful message that the best is yet to come if we just look inward.

We get intimately acquainted with one of the last surviving Gnostic sects from ancient times. Their lineage goes back to the times of Jesus, and their theology is even older. Who are the Druze of the Middle East and how were they able to retain their ancient mysteries throughout a hostile history? Our guest also discusses his new novel that contains the secret roadmap to timeless Gnosis.

We take a comprehensive examination of the many ways the spirit world affects the material plane and our minds. This includes the spirit influence behind some of history’s notorious serial killers, as well as lauded creative geniuses. Could various mental disorders be a form of demon possession? How did the Gnostics deal with discarnate souls? In the end, we find how science has failed western culture to the point of self-destruction unless humanity again embraces ancient wisdom.

The brilliant and profound Richard Smoley arrived at the Virtual Alexandria to deconstruct traditional Easter and share how Gnosticism (and mystical Christianity) regarded the death and resurrection of Jesus. Lainie Petersen, Moondog, and Jonathan Stewart kept us company. Of course, being a Gnostic Easter, we had to cover such relevant topics as the CIA, MK-ULTRA, A Course in Miracles, Gurdjieff, and Eastern Traditions. Welcome to the Virtual Alexandria. You have risen!

What are the mechanisms at work behind today’s thriving belief system in extraterrestrials that now rival the belief in God? Could cultural expressions like The X-Files or Ancient Aliens influence how we experience supernatural beings? We explore these and other alien-related issues by delving into the latest UFO research, verified extraterrestrial encounters (ancient and modern), and the ideas of chief synchromystic thinkers like Jacques Vallée, CG Jung, Philip K. Dick, and Jeff Kripal.

The audio version of our latest Aeon Byte Live. What is the best stance for the Roman Invention of Christianity Theory? Is it from “Caesar’s Messiah” (Joe Atwill) or “Creating Christ” (James Valliant/Warren Fahy)? We found out in a friendly conversation that included the Christ-Myth Theory and ancient religion, eventually evolving into a broader discourse on philosophy, politics, and humanity’s struggle to become free from the tyranny of oligarchs.

Behind the machine and media that is Tinsel Town lie dark forces that seek to manipulate, politicize, and even enslave the human psyche. Some of these forces may be spiritual.

Many literary experts contend that one of the greatest poems in history is the Nag Hammadi library’s The Thunder, Perfect Mind. We explore this enigmatic but poignant text for timeless insights on the dignity of all humans and liberation from oppression. Who exactly is the divine but tragic female protagonist of this work? What is the background behind Thunder that ignited a unique message of individuality? Is it even Gnostic or a general treatise on ultimate awakening?

Gnosis informs us that from a young age are programmed and socially engineered by various forces. How do we see past false realities while discovering our true selves? As with ancient mystic sages, but with some modern innovations, we embrace theories and techniques that expand our awareness, clear our emotions, and connect our souls to higher frequencies that instill a state of oneness and peace.

In our “ogdoad” episode, we were joined by Gnostic bishop Lainie Petersen, Christian Smith, and Scott Smith, author of God Reconsidered. From the culture of Gnostic churches to the pressures of modern culture, it was a penetrating group discussion on Gnosticism in modern times. The conversation got very philosophical personal, and touching at times.

We mine the Gnosis of one of the chief esoteric exemplars of modern times: Rudolf Stiner. Our quest takes us to parallel traditions of self-awakening that include Sufism, Theosophy, and, of course, Gnosticism. More than a historical understanding of Steiner, we find the Red Pills he left behind for our transformation and liberation in a dying, mechanistic world.

Samuel Hannah joined us in another galvanizing YouTube Live session. Plenty of Gnosticism, Ifa, Voodon, Greek Mythology, and the places where they all intersect. And much more. We were also joined by Occult Fan and the Moondog, answering questions from an electric chatroom.
Production might have been a bit off. As many of you know, my computer died the real death. I conducted and mixed this interview on a loaner. But thanks to the aeonic support of many listeners, I was able to quickly raise funds for a new broadcaster of Gnosis. I'm truly humbled and grateful! I've lost about ten days of work, but new podcasts will be out in about a week.
Here is the list of contributors that assisted in keeping the Virtual Alexandria open:
Within central Gnostic texts, we find a common disturbing storyline: Eve in the Garden of Eden suffers graphic sexual violence at the hands of the Demiurge and his Archons. This narrative of brutal oppression, suppression, and control reveals profound cosmic truths and psychological processes that thunder across history— still relevant in today’s culture. Yet within the harrowing tests of Eve, who is an avatar of Sophia, lies a lesson of restoration, dignity, and healing love. And so much Gnosis.
Astral Guest – Celene Lillie, author of The Rape of Eve: The Transformation of Roman Ideology in Three Early Christian Retellings of Genesis, as well as Director of Adult Education and Spiritual Formation at First United Methodist Church in Boulder, Colorado and an adjunct professor at the University of Colorado Boulder.
As a bonus, we’ll provide a Trimorphic Paranoia for members. Dr. Joanna Kujawa joins us in a group discussion to relate her views on these Gnostic myths and the Eastern versions of sexual predator deities, among other topics.

Western culture continues to devolve, likely by the eugenic hands of magicians and oligarchs in high places. Society is on the brink of collective madness. We quest for the unseen and “hidden in plain sight” archons that have engineered our consciousness — many of them sacred cows in esoteric circles. As with our guest, this grim discovery also leads us to find our inner Aeon.

The quest for who we really are is almost impossible today. In between Archons tightening their geopolitical claws and digital realms of deafening solitude, can we find any version of our Self (and Higher Self)? We quest for the Self and how to express our souls, delving into forbidden art, a Buddhist/Gnostic fusion, and so many Doorways of Perception.

Why is the Flat Theory growing in acceptance with Millennials, and what does this say about humanity’s evolution? More important is what this theory reveals about the nature of the cosmos and those who control it, agreed by ancient texts like the Book of Enoch and certain Gnostics sects. Are we trapped in a Devil’s bargain or is Lucifer lighting the firmament with a new revolution for the young and hopeful?
