Mithras is a misunderstood and overlooked god. This deity and his cult have been a leading force in the rise and fall of empires, as well as the architects of world religions that exist even today. Just as astounding, the Gnostic stream of Mithraism has been equally influential in the engineering of cultures. From original Buddhism to the Carpocratians, from the Mazdakites to the Assassins, we encounter a Gnosticism more radical and Promethean than ever imagined, fueled by a supreme God above all gods.

Scott Smith returns quickly to the Virtual Alexandria, with his better half Sandra Wells, to discuss a lot of magic, miracles, and other mayhem from a Gnostic perspective. This all centers on debunking those professional debunkers who attempt to smother any form of paranormal or holistic research.

Friedrich Nietzsche remains today a cultural icon and enigmatic philosopher. His ideas have informed many modern art expressions and occult movements. But are the Gnostic themes in the ideas of Nietzsche? We answer that question by exploring various Nietzschean concepts like the Death of God, Eternal Reoccurrence, Apollo & Dionysus, and the Abyss. What we encounter is an ancient Gnosis few in history have heard or even experienced.

Jay Dyer and Scott Smith joined us for a civil but passionate debate in our latest Aeon Byte Live. We discussed the Gnostic and Orthodox differences on Theodicy, Biblical Inerrancy, Free Will, Salvation, the nature of Jesus, and much more. Is the world evil or in harmony? Is the Old Testament about a good or evil god? What were the true origins of Christianity? And much more. For some reason, my vaping was as incendiary as the topics.

We take a deep dive into the Gospel of Mary, from its discovery to its doctrines. Beyond revealing Mary Magdalene as a preeminent master of ancient mysteries, we glean her spiritual techniques of meditation, transcendence, and how to become fully alive as a human being. This understanding includes the Gnostic ideas on sin, Nous, kenosis, and oneness with the divine. Our in-depth exploration takes us on a quest through the New Testament, Christian legend, and censored history to find the authentic Mary Magdalene.
