We were joined for a debate on reincarnation by two heavy-hitters in Gnostic circles who represent what is best in Gnosis: Scott Smith, author of God Reconsidered, and John Munter, author of The Samaritan Jesus.

Two went into a cage and a thousand lifetimes came out. Seriously, it was a spirited and friendly debate on the doctrine of reincarnation. Scott argued for its shortcomings while John supported its strengths. Our discussion evolved into other cool topics like whether creation is benign or malevolent, karma, aliens, and much more. With audience questions, it was an evening full of mirth and Gnosis.

A fascinating yet vexing question in religious studies is why did Gnosticism vilify the Old Testament god yet embrace the Torah? New scholarship provides answers – taking us to ancient times where priests and kings quarreled over the nature of the gods, the issue of iniquity, and proper social order. These insights will shed light on the influence, magical practices, and theology of Gnostic groups like the Mandaeans and the Sethians, as well as the formation of Christianity.

Astral Guest –  James McGrath, author of Religion and Science Fiction and Clarence L. Goodwin Chair in New Testament Language and Literature at Butler University.

We present compelling evidence for the existence of a written pre-canonical Alpha gospel that was a foundation for the four gospels. This exploration will lead to novel insights on the transcendent spirituality of the Gospel of John, as well as enigmatic biblical characters like the Beloved Disciple, Lazarus, Mary Magdalene, and Jesus himself.

Chris Knowles materialized at the Virtual Alexandria to share some of his latest research, and it was raining Red Pills, hallelujah. Chris connected Maxwell, Epstein, Crowley, Parsons, and Lovecraft; and you can add transhumanist agencies, UFOs, and various secret societies as the deadly spice. It was Life in the Fast Ghislaine. We presented visuals along with this dark Gnosis, and we discussed how his novel is turning out to be a grim prophecy instead of fiction.

Jesse James remains a legend, the symbol of the individual overcoming the establishment. Yet behind both the official narrative and the American Robin Hood myth lies an astounding reality: Jesse James faked his death to lead an even more intriguing life. What’s more, he also guarded ancient secrets of forbidden treasures brought and hidden in America. Our exploration will encounter the Freemasons, Rosicrucians, Templars, Kabbalists, and other arcane societies – as well as expose a terrible time of civil war and wild wests that have eerie parallels to today’s culture.

Astral Guests – Teresa and Daniel Duke, authors of Jesse James and the Lost Templar Treasure and The Mysterious Life and Faked Death of Jesse James.

And now for something (almost) completely different. Through some cool and sudden syncs, Jeffrey Mishlove agreed to talk with me about a topic he doesn't often cover: himself. Thus, the prominent host shared his own views on the Esoterica, his fascinating life, and the challenges/opportunities of being in the alternative media. It was a great conversation, with some news and views at the beginning and some bonuses at the end of the show.

We take a penetrating exploration of extraterrestrials, finding novel perspectives on such concepts as Ancient Aliens, the Grays, Flying Saucers, and Alien Abductions. These revelations expose an astral hierarchy that has lorded over humanity for millennia – in the past as gods of religious texts and myth but presently embedded in the highest echelons of our earthly power structures. Of course, we’ll deal with the Demiurge, Sophia, and the Archons in their interstellar realities.

Independence Day comes early! Mark Cordova returns to the Virtual Alexandria after a long pause to discuss Yaldi Baldi and his angelic mafia. He'll grant some startling insights, including the notion that Jesus already vanquished the Powers and Principalities, but what remained was their offspring who are thousand times more dangerous. And much more. Mark will also share why he left the Gnostic scene, a tragic tale that saw him come back innocent and victorious.

We have a friendly but substantive chat with the host of the premier podcast on CG Jung and Jungian analysis. Our spanning discussion covers the life and times of the Swiss Magician, as well as conceptions like synchronicity, complexes, the shadow, archetypes, the Red Book, and the Seven Sermons to the Dead. We certainly cover why Jungian ideas are essential in a culture with an increasingly fragmenting psyche.

We deeply connect with several enduring spiritual exercises of Gurdjieff, at the same time getting a holistic picture of his teachings. These practices can help cope with fear, delusion, and anxiety— and achieve peace in these soul-eroding times. We also decipher many of Gurdjieff’s concepts like the Kundabuffer, the enneagram, food for the moon, and more.

It's time to give a Gnostic take to the Archon-infestation of 2020. Don't expect too much of a political or statistical discussion, but an understanding of how Gnostic concepts can help you navigate many of the issues today for peace and clarity. Of course, we'll discuss other relevant issues on Gnostic studies and discoveries. Astral

Guests -- Lainie Petersen, Scott Smith, Christian Smith, and the Moondog.

A recent panel discussion on the recent discovery of cannabis resin in an ancient Jewish temple in Tel Aviv. The discussion expanded to other entheogenic topics, from ergot to soma to mystery religions to medieval mystics. Our guests were exemplars in psychedelic research and Jewish theology.

Our guest shares his gradual transformation from a fundamentalist Christian minister to modern Gnostic. This journey includes how he overcome pain and programming to reach a state of freedom by embracing Gnosticism and other esoteric traditions. In the process, we face the dark blueprints of mind control and oppression that also manifest in politics, science, and even other nontraditional movements like New Age.

We celebrate our 14th anniversary by exploring the ideas of two striking individuals: HP Lovecraft and Acharya S. Although different in their work and lives, both figures looked to the stars for answers to the deepest nature of humankind. Both also took a deep dive into the stellar lagoons of the collective unconscious and brought back archetypal pearls of great wisdom – and often warning – changing the souls of so many individuals.

What is mysticism and what separates it from delusion? Can reason discern and nurture the mystical experience in an age of harsh scientism? We take the plunge into answering these questions and find how to prosper with mysticism in modernity — leaning on the ideas of CG Jung, Joseph Campbell, Michael Talbot, John Keel, and other innovative thinkers, as well as concepts like Neurophenomenology, Chaos Theory, and Heuristics.

Gary Lachman joined us to discuss his new book, The Return of Holy Russia. Is there a collective psyche of the Russian people? A form of mysticism and influencing mythology? And does this all shape the modern Russia state? This journey includes the pagan origins of the Russian people, Orthodox Church Mysticism, the Mongol invasion, the Romanovs, the Silver Age, the Bolshevik materialism, and much more.

The woman clothed with the sun in the Book of Revelation remains an intriguing figure in both religious and occult circles. What is the true identity of this cosmic heroine? With piercing scholarship, we realize that the enigmatic “Sun Lady” is the manifestation of a primordial wisdom goddess, and her story is nothing more than a Gnostic astral drama. We also find the true meaning of such apocalypse concepts as the Red Dragon, The Beast, 666, New Jerusalem, and more.

We go deep into the history and processes of the ancient art of transformation. We leave no Philosopher’s Stone unturned – from Hermes to CG Jung, from the secrets of the Ouroboros to the truth about turning lead-to-gold. Our exploration includes overlooked female alchemists and the connection of physics and alchemy. In these times, alchemy might be an essential spiritual tech in a world drowning hopelessly in nigredo.

We take an alternative view of Jesus that is largely supported by astute research. This viewpoint reveals a deeper dimension to the life of the Galilean savior — as well as a mystic side promoting both the wisdom of the ages and a unique theology to thrive under challenging times. From fresh insights in Bible parables to novel revelations on Mary Magdalene, we gain an overall message that is more important than ever.

Anthony Peake arrived at the Virtual Alexandria to discuss his new book, The Hidden Universe. We explored the ideas of the Pleroma/Kenoma and the Others - intelligent, self-motivated beings that are clearly not human in their origins. These include otherworldly visitors, from gods, angels, demons, and djinns to ghosts, UFOs, and aliens.

We explore one of the most enigmatic and renounced occult texts ever published.

All of this ultimately teaches how to make higher entities work for our lives, down here on a prison planet.

Like the rest of the Bible, the New Testament is both a history of consciousness and a manual for mind control. Navigating this duality can provide insights into our psyche and its programming. Was Paul a mystic or a madman? Was Jesus a magical healer or a fancy myth? Are biblical miracles heaven-sent or just part of the arsenal of timeworn apologetics? We take the middle path on these issues and more, all to hopefully address of our own magic, miracle, and madness.

Fear, confusion, and powerlessness have infected the planet. These maladies can be defeated by anyone who accesses their innate archetypes. What’s more, reclaimed archetypes provide a clear pathway to a higher meaning and purpose —in any time or situation — as well as unification with your authentic self. Even death becomes irrelevant in the light of complete individuation.
