We explore the earthly and unearthly forces in the early 70s that shaped the minds of Philip K. Dick, Terence McKenna, and Robert Anton Wilson. This leads to how these psychonauts went to both influence and foretell today’s fragmenting culture. We focus more on Dick, including his Gnosticism that was much earlier than most believe and his predictions of a Gnostic nightmare that has come true.

It's getting really bad out there. We discuss how prognosis and practical remedy can reverse the ever-increasing stupidity of global society; and the potential for Gnosticism to thrive in such a global reversal. It's a mandate of having a holistic vision in all aspects by all entities and how the greatest thinkers across space and time profess such. More than anything, we gain the tools to self-knowledge and self-transformation in a world of so many false realities.

How did the ancient Gnostics create such personal but transcendental texts? How did they write their own gospels that infuriated orthodoxy? We find out by intimately understanding the process of how a modern poet engaged the Gnostic template to write his own gospel. The result was his soul delving deep into the collective unconscious and high into daemonic realms. Ultimately, he experienced his version of Sophia and the Logos. Our discovery leads to insights on leveraging Gnosis in modern times, including novel approaches to the concepts of evil, free will, ego, and overcoming fear. We also discuss overlooked Gnostic movies like Conan the Barbarian!

As the last great Romantic, WB Yeats drew heavily from the Gnostic and Hermetic traditions. We mine the works of Yeats to find transcendental truths and magical insights. What is the real meaning behind “The Second Coming” and “A Vision”? What are the timeless secrets behind his use of Pagan Irish lore and Hellenistic symbols? What are his stark prophecies that seem to be coming true today?

Beyond being the foundation of most ancient religions and much of Ufology, how did the Sumerian Myths stream into the metaphysical consciousness and magical practices of the Gnostics? Is Sophia a version of Innana and is Enkil the Demiurge enslaving humanity? Vanessa Kindell and Occult Fan arrived to the Virtual Alexandria. From Sumerian magic to archeology to myths, we cover it all.
