In episode three of Heretics Anonymous, Joe Atwill joins us to explain how the elite have debased and manipulated society across a history they keep rewriting. From the Roman invention of orthodox religion to the banker invention of authoritarian governments, from the Mason engineering of world wars to the Nazi engineering of modern propaganda, we leave no blood-stained stone unturned. In the end, the goals of the oligarchs are ultimately about the extermination of human free thought and free will. Occult Fan joins us as well to create a Trinity of veil-lifting.

What if Whitley Strieber, Philip K. Dick, Carlos Castaneda, and other modern magical thinkers were creations of MKUltra laboratories? What if their work was part of a plot to manifest the dark apocalypses of transhumanism, AI, and eugenics? We explore these and other possibilities — even peering behind the curtains of Ufology and the Occult to catch Moloch men and their social engineering machinations.

We uncover the spiritual meaning that fueled the artistic, political, and social revolutions of the 1960s. This includes investigating the Gnostic, Hermetic, and Occult influences of that decade. From John Lennon’s understanding of Gnosticism to Pink Floyd’s marketing of Gnosis, we leave no acid-soaked unturned. Ultimately, we find out what went wrong with the Sixties, at the same time distilling insights that might rejuvenate our colorless times.

As requested by many, behold the audio version of the first two episodes of our YouTube Live series, Heretics Anonymous. What is Heretics Anonymous? It’s a more organic, conversational, and roundtable manifestation of Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio. Get ready for high weirdness and Gnosis on Red Bull with these august guests:
For members, you get almost three hours of liberating heresy on various current and perennial topics. Nothing was scripted or edited, and everything was allowed. Hope you enjoy and always look forward to your feedback as I continue to, as Philip K. Dick said, bring you Gnostic Gnosis in a trashy form (and various formats).
Write your own Gospel and live your own Myth.

Persian culture and Zoroastrianism are main but often-ignored foundations of Western Culture. Also overlooked are the profound Gnostic ideas in the primordial teachings of Zarathustra. Persian Gnosticism permeated religious history for thousands of years across Eurasia, manifesting as a threat to orthodoxy with such movements as Manichaeism, Zurvanism, Mazdakism, and Sufism. We explore this heretical stream, as well as the rich tradition of Persian magic and folklore — culminating with author Sadegh Hedayat, whose work parallels that of Philip K. Dick, Frans Kafka, Henry Corbin, and other modern masters of imaginal Gnostic thinking.

Let’s find the men behind all curtains that have kept humanity enslaved for millennia. From ancient Egypt to Sumer to the face on Mars, from the Anunnaki to the Illuminati to modern banking cartels — we expose the alien forces that pull the strings of all world governments and religions across history. This quest of astrotheology, revelation, and sacred geometry also reveals the ancient codes that can awaken us to a cosmic destiny written in the very stars.

It’s our Halloween Special and Harvest Season extravaganza! So why not discuss the notions of death, the afterlife, and embodiment, from a Gnostic perspective? Why not scare up the parallel topics of reincarnation, demon-possession, and talking to spirits? Our heretical group discussion will cover all of this and more, from confronting the reality of the Demiurge to speculating whether our pets get into the Pleroma — and so much in between.

Mesmerism is considered the precursor to hypnotism, but in reality it is an esoteric discipline of consciousness-expansion that draws from many ancient traditions such as Hermeticism, Kabbalah, and Gnosticism. Mesmerism calls upon inner and outer presences that unlock the divine potential of the universe and beyond. We understand the history, philosophy, and gifts of Mesmerism, and how it is once again rising in the West. And we also explore the unique way the Gnostics and other mesmeric mystics radically dealt with the concept of fate, all for the ultimate liberation of the soul.

Beyond one of the greatest movie stars in history, Greta Garbo was a living embodiment of self-actualization, reaching peak experiences, and the Gnostic Sophia herself. She was also a secret occultist, Theosophist, and activist who rubbed shoulders with famed mystics of the 20th century. From battling archons in Hollywood to plotting against Adolf Hitler to transcending mundane matter, we deeply explore the very remarkable soul that was Garbo.

We explore the principles that allow the future to affect the present, and the present to affect the past, without causing paradox. We also deconstruct the powerful taboos that, for centuries, have kept mainstream science from taking phenomena like retrocausation and precognition seriously. This leads us to understand we are four-dimensional creatures that sometimes get caught in time loops. To fully decipher the transcendent Gnosis of remembering the future, we look at the lives and visions of Philip K. Dick, CG Jung, HR Giger, and other esoteric exemplars.

Could Lucifer actually be an entity from beyond the stars, and not an archetype or spiritual ideal? Could astral portals in the Iberian Peninsula provide seekers with high states of awareness? These possibilities are found in a writer’s remarkable journey, which also encountered a secret society — preserved since antiquity — that influenced illustrious figures such as Salvador Dali, Jean Cocteau, Otto Rahn, and Howard Hughes, and even Bérenger Saunière (the cryptic priest of Rennes-le-Château). In the end, what the author discovered was an ancient drama for the soul of humanity.

A new film takes viewers on an evocative journey through the paths of divinity – using the Tarot as an archetypal map. This visionary work draws heavily from the wisdom of the Gnostics, Alchemists, Hermetics, CG Jung, Joseph Campbell, and more. Beyond an exploration of human apotheosis, the movie finds cultural solutions in an age of trickster trump cards and the disintegration of traditional socio-political models.

Scholars generally argue that the Gospel of Thomas is a loose collection of saying, a kinda “great hits” of early Christianity. Instead, what if this text was a coherent and a graduate mystery school course on attaining the higher self. We explore this argument, including other Gnostic Gospels that tie into a parallel stream of ancient secrets, including Dialogue with Savior, the First Apocalypse of James, and the Gospel of Philip. All these ideas point to the possibility Jesus survived the crucifixion and headed to the East. And that his real identity was that of a notorious Samaritan magician.

Are Left-Hand Path traditions amplified or constrained in the online universes? Is Gnosis more available in a digital time of fluid identities or harder to attain in cyberlands of mob censorship? We take an in-depth exploration of these and other modern issues — including the whitewashing of past controversial figures, nonphysical esoteric communities, and the relevance of meme magic. In the end, spiritual liberation lies in questing back in history to encounter forgotten gods, forbidden figures, and lost teachings.

We explore the modern manifestations of Gnosticism on today’s culture. This includes such mercurial figures as David Icke, John Lamb Lash, and more, as well as fiery artists like Philip K. Dick, Grant Morrison, and more. This investigation leads us to deeply understanding our present times of paranoia, conspiracy theory, and polarization – a prediction and promise of the ancient Gnostics. We also get acquainted with the latest Gnostic scholarship — from the Nag Hammadi library to Mary Magdalene.

Could the folklore of ancient ghost stories be the basis for the resurrection accounts of the New Testament? This intriguing idea takes us into the heart of the magical folklore and necromantic practices of ancient Jews, Christians, and Pagans. From archeological evidence to the latest scholarship, we encounter a Greco-Roman world where the lines between the material and spiritual were very blurred — and this includes Paul’s Christ who might have been a supreme specter.

We quest for a profound understanding of the Left-Hand Path — from the ancient Gnostics to today’s Temple of Set. What accurately defines this Promethean ideology? What is being Luciferian in reality? Our exploration also focuses on an overlooked but influential secret society that draws directly from Classic Gnosticism: The Fraternitas Saturni (Brotherhood of Saturn). In the end, we contend that a lack of Left-Hand Path spirituality is what is dooming modern culture – and how to gain that perennial Gnosis.

We provide an edgy and soul-provoking group discussion on several deep topics – relating them to the Gnostic worldview. What are the origins of life and what is the nature of the various divine entities? Is there such a thing as free will? Our dialogue also includes the notions of consciousness, the failure of scientism, and the Archons (as our alien overlords). Lastly, we speculate on the solutions to smashing the Black Iron Prison and renewing the human mind.

Two chief Gnostic revealers of modern times are Philip K. Dick and CG Jung. We parallel and contrast their lives, visions, cosmologies, and prophecies. Above these two giants of mystic heresy, we encounter and experience the sanity-destroying figure of Abraxas. By delving into Dick’s The Exegesis and Jung’s The Red Book, the labyrinth that is existence opens up to the discovery of the soul and the truth of sensible reality.

Cannabis and other psychoactive plants held a vital role in the Occult arts of Alchemy and Magic — and were employed in ritual initiations of certain secret societies. Cannabis also played a pivotal role in medieval and Renaissance magic, appearing in many grimoire recipes. Earlier in history, magical herbs were a cornerstone of ancient shamanism, Jewish & Persian mysticism, and even Classic Gnosticism (perhaps later surviving in the Knights Templar and Assassin traditions). We thread the entheogen needle through all these movements and understand why orthodoxy has suppressed psychedelic experiences.

We take an expansive look at these various movements and ideologies: New Thought, Meme Magic, Julius Evola & Traditionalism, Chaos Magic, and more.

What’s more, we find that radical magical thinking informs today Russian and other European politics. And does the Left have a metaphysical answer or is it dependent on only secular solutions?

Visionary art is a prime tool to harness higher consciousness and draw revelations from the imaginal realms. It is a form of Gnosis or “visionary seeing.” We discover the approaches and history of visionary seeing, from William Blake to HR Giger, from ancient Egyptian Mysticism to Renaissance magic. This exploration includes the maps to the divine found in Gnostic texts like the Secret Book of John, Neoplatonic theurgy, and Eastern ecstatic meditation.
