We discuss the nature of iniquity, including why modern culture seems to overlook or misdiagnose the forces of evil. Our exploration will take us to the realms of spiritual wickedness and the darkest depths of today’s society. However, going into the heart of darkness will reveal the illumination we need to thrive, found in alternative science and timeless mysticism.

Times have been hard during 2020, and times are always stressful during the holiday season. For this, we had a special AB Live to assist those who need help or just wish to find their authentic self as quickly as possible. We discussed active imagination, Gestalt therapy, projection, complexes, dream therapy, and many techniques to overcome fear and find true purpose in life. We can overcome and we can remove the blocks from our inevitable awakening and higher destiny.

Derek Hunter joined us to share The End of the World and his alternative but tested ideas on recovery and living a magical life. He summarized his Chaos Love theory, as well as how he has thrived in enjoying the great unknown that is 2020. We discussed Dostoevsky, Jung, Crowley, Descartes, and other thinkers who straddle the line between reason and madness. We explored the power of myth and visited old chaos gods like Pan, Babalon, Yaldabaoth, and Lucifer. What you get are tools to worry less and dream a better reality into your life.
On our latest AB Live, Jason Reza Jorjani arrived at the Virtual Alexandria to discuss his new novel, Faustian Futurist. The book combines many of his ideas like Prometheism and brings to the table exciting topics like Atlantis, UFOs, breakaway civilizations, and remote viewing. We found that there is a lot of factual truth to this novel, and the end is coming soon unless we embrace Prometheus.
We'll also have some fun talking about Gnostic themes in film and other art forms, as well as Philip K. Dick and other thinkers.

We uncover the dark sorcerous forces behind Hollywood that have orchestrated the most extraordinary social engineering feat in history. This rabbit hole leads us to revisit the Manson Murders, Comic Book movies, horror films like The Exorcist, and other mass enchantments. Beyond exposing a secret society with ancient roots, we’ll focus on individual mind mages that include Alfred Hitchcock, Roman Polanski, and Harvey Weinstein.

How did we get to 2020, and what can we do about it? For answers, we thread the needle of Gnosis through magic and technology. This will involve tapping into the ever-relevant ideas of Philip K. Dick and other lords of High Weirdness like Robert Anton Wilson, Carl Jung, Marshall McLuhan, and Timothy Leary. This also means delving into Ufology, entheogens, shamanism, and the various machinations of American archons.

Could history be a lie written by the victors? Well, that's a reality, and that’s always been an Aeon Byte theme, but how much of a lie is it has also been the question? We look at a theory that posts that events of antiquity generally attributed to the civilizations of the Roman Empire, Ancient Greece, and Ancient Egypt, actually occurred during the Middle Ages, more than a thousand years later.
Stephen Sorensen, owner of the Ctruth website, joined us.
Our universe is a fractal pattern of consciousness that repeats itself in endless cycles of organization and cooperation. To verify this concept, we will present traditional spiritual and religious traditions with cutting-edge science concepts. This will also include novel explanations of reincarnation, evolution, quantum entanglement, the Tao Te Ching, and Gnosticism.

Bishop Brian Standford joined us to discuss his inspirational journey. Find life-improving insights from his transformation from a life of drugs and prison to an exemplar of esoteric wisdom. He'll share what went wrong and what has worked for him: Christian Gnosticism, prayer, Eastern traditions, martial arts, the ideas of great thinkers, and more. We also get into Brian's ideas of Esoteric Patriotism, a much-needed pivot when trust in the system is crumbling because of the dark effects of Wickedness in High Places.
We take a detailed look into ancient advanced tech, science, and medicine – covering dynastic China, Mesoamerica, pharaonic Egypt, Greco-Roman culture, and more. Some of these technologies have yet to be reproduced today. This exploration includes how the ancients dealt with virus and pandemics; and whether enhanced science was achieved through insights or the interaction with higher beings. We’ll also involve the legend of Atlantis and its eternal, technological lessons.

On this sacrilege that was also our second Halloween Special, streamed that very night, Anthony Tyler and the Occult Fan joined us. We discussed a main horror writer and occult exemplar: Clive Barker. From Hellraiser to Candyman, we tied these works to more profound, spiritual (and often Jungian) themes. We also dealt with the spooky themes of demonology, Fortean Spirituality, and Anthony’s book, Dive Manual, Empirical Investigations in Mysticism.
Our Halloween theme on AB Live was about popular beliefs in the esoteric movement that they think may need reevaluation. It was an irreverent discussion of popular esoteric beliefs, from the New Age faiths and astrology to Kabbalah and the Course in Miracles. And many more sacred cows. We also discussed the pandemic and the coming election.
Our astral guests were Scott Smith, author of God Reconsidered, returning to Aeon Byte for his lucky 13th interview; his wife, Sandra Wells, a pagan and Gnostic sympathizer who shared her experiences with the supernatural on previous Halloween shows; and Scott's son, Christian Smith, also a returning guest, who is studying to become a chaplain under the guidance of Bishop Stephan Hoeller of Ecclesia Gnostica.

Arguably the most important (and overlooked) Jungian concept is the complex. It’s so essential, Jung originally called his body of work Complex Psychology. By grasping complexes, we find how fragmented our minds are and why free will seems impossible in many aspects of our lives. But we’ll also discover how to integrate complexes and restore the psyche to get us closer to individuation.

Can the mind be reprogrammed from the coding of a constantly propagandizing elite and brogrammer angels? Can we fully listen to the healing song of our soul? We find answers in Neuro-Linguistic Programming, hypnotism, Huna Spirituality, and the wisdom of Hermes Trismegistus. This exploration will include the idea of CG Jung, Carlos Castaneda, and other guerrilla mystics who sought to rewire the collective consciousness.

Always an honor to have Mitch at the Virtual Alexandria. Mitch shares insights and solutions to depression, success in life, dysfunctional relationships, and living in a pandemic. We covered transcendental meditation, the best (and worse) of New Thought, anarchic magic, and the power of prayer. Mitch shared the ideas of Alexander Pope, Neville Goddard, Ralph Emerson Waldo, and other exemplars. Can the right habits and thoughts transform our life? Is there a way to thrive in this year of apocalypses or are we destined to be Oedipus or Walter White?
Astral Guest -- Mitch Horowitz, author of The Miracle Habits.
Is the universe deterministic? Do divine forces care about humanity? We find these answers through the ideas of ancient sages like Plato, Aristotle, Plotinus, and others — and the views of movements such as the Pre-Socratics, Epicureans, Stoics, early Christians, Hellenistic Jews, and Gnostics. Our exploration will provide insights for modern times, including for such notions as the Simulation Theory.

We take a deep and necessary dive into the topics of robotics, transhumanism, singularity, and other apocalyptic tech – all to prepare for the endgame moves of the elite and their Breakaway Civilization. To win this game of digital thrones, we must tap into the myth and Gnosis of an ancient trickster egregore named Prometheus. We must steal fire from the gods before they burn civilization down very soon.

We were joined at the Virtual Alexandria by comedian and host of Soberish, Jessa Reed. She discussed her life and remarkable insights. This included overcoming meth addiction, near-death experience, alien encounters, and revelations into the reality we exist in a simulation ending soon with the coming of a new higher-dimensional existence. I dig her work and mind a lot, and I think you will too. Regardless, it's the end of the world as we know it and you can now feel fine.

Always a pleasure when Robert arrives at the Virtual Alexandria. This time he laid his cards on the table about his life, while also sharing helpful ideas from Vedanta, the Tarot, Gnosticism, and other alternative disciplines. Our discussion addressed the mental breakdown of the collective psyche in 2020, at the same time exploring the complex maze that is the personal psyche. In the end, we wonder if we have free at all and are we at the end of an age.
Astral Guest — Robert Bonomo, writer and director of The 21 Faces of God, as well as author of Cactus Land.
We host the acclaimed journalist who exposed the Gospel of Jesus’s Wife fiasco. More than one of history’s most famous and bizarre forgery controversies, this is a cautionary tale on academic machinations, tragic projections fueled by ambition, and the fine line between reason and faith. The saga of this text is a mirror into the human condition as well as insight into the sensationalist waters Mary Magdalene and the Gnostics have sailed in for centuries.

We become deeply acquainted with the ancient practice of resurrecting while still alive – as shamanistic discipline practiced by the Gnostics, Mystery Religions, Egyptian mystics, and Hellenistic philosophers. Our journey takes us from the secret teaching of Jesus to the Mandaeans to the Knights Templars – all to understand if the art of resurrection has survived for us to employ today.
Astral Guest – Freddy Silva, author of The Lost Art of Resurrection: Initiation, secret chambers and the quest for the Otherworld.
As a bonus, Dr. Joanna Kujawa joined us to discuss the rising and dying goddesses: Inanna, Isis, Ishtar, Sophia, Persephone, and others.

We had an incredible roundtable with a group of mystics, heretics, therapists, and oriental practitioners. We covered much esoteric ground, including alchemy, Kabbalah, Gnosticism, Jungian therapy, Taoism, ghosts — all to find mental and spiritual solutions to the dark psychic forces that have settled on western culture. Much of our discussion was based on the book Concerto of the Rising Sun. And for strange reasons, we talked about smoking and pooping right, as well as audiobook voiceovers. Heresy shouldn’t be this much fun, but it just is.
Astral Guests: Ram Fec, Erik P. Antoni, Carl Joseph DeMarco, and Graham Dunlop & Darren Grimes from Grimerica.
We explore the ancient arts of inner knowing, a journey that takes us to primordial goddesses, cosmic magic, and the wisdom of the ages. Although these mystic disciplines have resurrected after millennia of suppression, they are being lost and distorted in recent times. Time to reboot the Gnosis of arcane heretics, the chaos of Cybele, and the summoning of mercurial spirits before the world goes dark again. Time for the season of the witch.

It's finally out after many promises and plans of mice and men (and gods too)! I couldn't think of anyone better for our first show than Eric. We discuss from an esoteric and traditional perspective how to deal with alcoholism, bipolar disorder, and depression.
As serious as the topics are, we had a blast in exploring Gnostic fire and Promethean ice. Our discussion covered William Blake, Herman Melville, David Foster Wallace, Alan Watts, and other significant figures who found their Hermes and descended into the human soul's undergrounds. Some returned, some didn't. What will your end be?
The Finding Hermes program is out, gradually rolled out but in tiers, found at Patreon or AB Prime.
Astral Guest — Eric G. Wilson, author of Polaris Ghost and Professor of English at Wake Forest University.
From the mysticism of ancient Sumerians to the piety of the Christian faithful to the magic of modern occultists, we get acquainted with perennial planetary and stellar entities. This quest not only teaches us how to call upon the gifts of angels and archangels but the ability to call upon our inner divinity for improved existence and the power to overcome life’s trials.
