In this episode the host Jeff walks listeners through a critical examination of the upcoming Communion for America event planned on the National Mall (October 8–11). Using clips from the event organizers' promotional video and commentary from watchdogs like Magical Mystery Church, Jeff explains why he believes the movement is not simply a nationwide Christian revival but a syncretic, Gnostic-influenced operation with dangerous theological and spiritual implications. He covers the event's leaders and influencers (Lou Engle, David Bradshaw, Bill Johnson and others), the movement's ties to the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), and why its language about "hosting the presence of God," "ripping the veil," and a "better blood message" raises serious concerns. The episode analyzes promotional claims (visions of a banqueting table down the Mall, testimonies of miraculous healings, calls for daily communion and 40–120 day fasting packages), and highlights how programming techniques, hypnotic worship music, and emotional storytelling can prime attendees for powerful spiritual experiences. Jeff contrasts biblical teaching about communion, repentance, and the Holy Spirit with the NAR's emphasis on fresh revelations, apostolic hierarchies, and manifest sons theology. He also outlines historical roots (Kabbalah, British-Israelism, William Branham and latter-rain theology), the Seven Mountain mandate and the convergence of political, religious and occult influences that the host fears could culminate in manipulation or worse. Key moments include detailed breakdowns of the organizers' video, warnings about ecumenical alliances (including Catholic participation), critique of fundraising and crowd-management tactics, and a discussion of how charismatic language—"invoke," "better blood," "loosing the blood"—can be used coercively. The episode closes by urging discernment: not to stoke fear of God, but to call out problematic doctrine and protect the vulnerable. Jeff encourages listeners to research the groups and leaders involved, to prioritize repentance and sound Scripture, and to avoid events if they see coercive or deceitful patterns. The description includes references to sources and YouTube analyses used in the episode (Magical Mystery Church and historical overviews), and notes the host's hope that listeners will engage their communities with biblical truth rather than manipulative movements.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 179 As we recently explored, the Russian national socialist Aleksandr Dugin (https://newdiscourses.com/2025/09/the-russian-national-socialism-of-aleksandr-dugin/) is weird. Said to be Vladimir Putin's "brain," an unlikely claim, he has been publishing extremist and fascist philosophy for decades, much of which has been leaking into American right-wing (Woke Right) thought rather substantially in recent years. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay reads from a short, creepy essay Dugin wrote for the Russian National Bolshevik magazine in 1995, titled "The Gnostic," (https://eurasianist-archive.com/2019/03/09/the-gnostic/) in which he makes the explicit case for following "left-hand path" (black, or Satanic) magic. In fact, he links this "magic" to Communism and Fascism and more. In this episode, Lindsay reads Dugin's bizarre essay and explains his concept of sociognosticism that makes sense of it. Join him to learn about this darkness threatening MAGA and American conservatism. Latest from New Discourses Press!

What if the ideas blurring your faith are older than you think—and far sneakier? We trace the enduring pull of Gnosticism, the age‑old promise that secret knowledge can lift you above ordinary life, and we measure it against the clarity of Scripture. Colossians 1 stands like a lighthouse in the fog, naming Jesus as the visible image of the invisible God, the creator who holds all things together and reconciles heaven and earth. That vision doesn't invite escape from the material world; it dignifies bodies, limits, and place as the arena where grace takes root.From there, we walk into Matthew 11 and hear Jesus thank the Father for revealing truth to the childlike. The invitation lands with force: come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. We talk about why spiritual elitism feels tempting, how “Theobro” culture shows up in classrooms and pews, and why the gospel refuses to be paywalled by expertise or mystical technique. Evangelism, we argue, is not passing a doctrine exam; it's telling the truth about where Jesus found you and how his gentle yoke fits the real weight you carry.We also name the opposite ditch: chasing private spiritual highs and calling them truth. Experiences can be gifts, but they are not the measure of reality. Scripture, community, and the slow fruit of transformation—forgiveness, costly love, steady faithfulness—keep us grounded. With “theology from the street, not the balcony” as our compass, we invite you to lay down the ladder of secret insight, step into honest relationship, and rest in a gospel that is wide open to the weary.

In the conclusion to their exploration of the Trimorphic Protennoia, David and Gene delve into the third and final descent of divine consciousness - the emergence of the Son, the Word, from the Voice of the Mother. In this episode we unpack the full expression of the Gnostic trinity, and discuss how reality itself is structured like a mind. We explore the "seed pattern" of consciousness, a five-fold mystery of foreknowledge, indestructibility, eternal life, and truth that forms the blueprint for the First Man and the enlightened mind. Join us as we journey from the archetypal patterns of Thought and Voice to the fully articulated Word that shatters the illusion of a world built under the illusion of separation, and illuminates the path to Gnosis.In the final descent, the Protennoia reveals herself as the ultimate shapeshifter - a hidden, trickster intelligence dwelling within all levels of reality, from the movements of matter to the minds of angels and men. She is the “hidden root” that the worldly powers are ignorant of, the secret source guiding creation from within. We analyze the profound five-stage initiation rite described in the text, a process of spiritual alchemy involving robing in "shining Light," baptism in the "Water of Life," and enthronement in glory, which purifies the five faculties of the soul. This sacred ceremony culminates in receiving the "Five Seals," the credentials of one who has directly experienced the ineffable and transcended the dark chaos of the fragmented self.The journey reaches its climax with one of the most startling and radical images in Gnostic literature, in which the Protennoia declares, “I put on Jesus. I bore him from the cursed wood” - which reframes the teachings and death of Christ not as a historical sacrifice, but instead, as deeply symbolic of the internal process of divine consciousness manifesting within the individual. This ultimate revelation ties all spiritual narratives together as expressions of a single, holographic reality where the whole is present in every part.The text suggests that by understanding this mystical union, we can transform our own consciousness into a “Light in Light,” realizing the deep empathy that flows from the knowledge that we are all expressions of one universal Mind.Deep Dive:The Trimorphic Protennoia - Three Forms of First ThoughtChapters:01:15 Introduction01:47 Review04:48 The Third Descent08:52 The Word11:02 Hidden Light14:02 Three Descents17:43 Hidden Root20:24 Shining Light22:47 Initiation of Light26:18 Shapeshifter28:22 Five Seals32:12 Wearing Jesus36:16 ConclusionsResources:Trimorphic Protennoia - John D.

In this episode, Stewart Alsop speaks with Nico Sarian, Executive Director of the Eternity Foundation and PhD candidate in Religious Studies, about the strange currents that run through Armenian history, the fractured birth of early Christianity, and the survival of Gnostic and Hermetic traditions into the Renaissance. The conversation weaves through questions of empire and nation state, mysticism and metaphysics, the occult roots of modern science, and the unsettling horizon of accelerationism, drawing unexpected lines between the ancient world, the bureaucratic order critiqued by David Graeber, and our present entanglement with surveillance and identity. For more on Nico's work, see The Eternity Foundation at eternity.giving.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart Alsop introduces Nico Sarian and sets the stage with Armenian history and the legacy of empire.05:00 The rise of early Christianity is traced, showing its fractures, Gnostic currents, and the persistence of esotericism.10:00 Hermeticism enters the frame, connecting mystical knowledge with the scientific spirit of the Renaissance.15:00 Empire versus nation state is explored, touching on bureaucracy, power, and identity.20:00 Mysticism and metaphysics are tied to questions of apocalypse, renewal, and hidden traditions.25:00 Nico brings in David Graeber, critiquing modern bureaucracy and how systems shape consciousness.30:00 Accelerationism surfaces, framed as both danger and possibility in modernity.35:00 Surveillance and identity are examined, echoing ancient struggles for meaning.40:00 Esotericism and religious syncretism are reconsidered as resources for navigating technological upheaval.45:00 The conversation closes with reflections on continuity, rupture, and the strange endurance of wisdom.Key InsightsOne of the central insights from Nico Sarian's conversation with Stewart Alsop is that Armenian history carries a unique vantage point on the ancient world, positioned between empire and nation, East and West. Its survival under domination reveals how smaller cultures can preserve mysticism, ritual, and identity even within overwhelming imperial structures.The episode underscores how early Christianity was never monolithic but a field of competing visions. Gnostics, proto-orthodox bishops, and other sects fought over scripture, ritual, and authority, leaving traces of suppressed traditions that still haunt religious and philosophical discourse today.A powerful thread emerges around Hermeticism and Renaissance science, where occult traditions did not oppose but actively shaped early scientific inquiry. The magical and the rational were not enemies; rather, they grew together in ways that modern categories tend to obscure.Sarian and Alsop discuss empire versus the nation state, showing how forms of political order encode metaphysical assumptions. Empires sought transcendence through universality, while nation states leaned on identity and bureaucracy, each carrying spiritual implications for those living under them.Another insight is the role of mysticism and apocalypse as recurring frameworks for understanding collapse and renewal. Whether in ancient prophetic traditions or modern accelerationism, there is a yearning for rupture that promises transformation but also carries danger.David Graeber's critique of bureaucracy becomes a lens for seeing how systems shape human consciousness. What appears as neutral administration actually molds imagination, desire, and even metaphysical assumptions about what is possible in the world.Finally, the episode points to the enduring tension between surveillance, identity, and esotericism. Just as ancient sects guarded secret knowledge from empire, modern individuals navigate the exposure of digital systems, suggesting that hidden wisdom traditions may offer unexpected resources for our technological present.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop speaks with Samuel, host of The Remnant Podcast, about the intersections of biblical prophecy, Gnostic traditions, transhumanism, and the spiritual battle unfolding in our age. The conversation moves from Dr. David Hawkins' teachings and personal encounters with the Holy Spirit to questions of Lucifer, Archons, and the distortions of occult traditions, while also confronting timelines of 2025, 2030, and 2045 in light of technological agendas from Palantir, Neuralink, and the United Nations. Together they explore the tension between organic human life and the merging with machines, weaving in figures like Blavatsky, Steiner, and Barbara Marx Hubbard, and tying it back to cycles of history, prophecy, and the remnant who remain faithful. You can find Samuel's work on The Remnant Podcast YouTube channel and follow future updates through his Instagram once it's launched.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart Alsop welcomes Samuel of The Remnant Podcast, connecting through Dr. David Hawkins' work and reflecting on COVID's effect on consciousness.05:00 Samuel shares his discovery of Hawkins, a powerful encounter with Jesus, and shifting views on Lucifer, Gnosticism, Archons, and Rudolf Steiner's Ahriman.10:00 They trace Gnosticism's suppression in church history, Frances Yates on occult revival, the Nicene Creed, Neoplatonism, and the church's battle with magic.15:00 Discussion of Acts 4, possessions, Holy Spirit, and Gnostic inversion of God and Lucifer; Blavatsky, Crowley, occult distortions, and forbidden knowledge in Enoch.20:00 Hawkins' framework, naivety at higher states, Jesus as North Star, synchronicities, and the law of attraction as both biblical truth and sorcery.25:00 Transhumanism, homo spiritus, Singularity University, Barbara Marx Hubbard, hijacked timelines, Neuralink, and Butlerian Jihad.30:00 Attractor patterns, algorithms mimicking consciousness, Starlink's omnipresence, singularity timelines—2025, 2030, 2045—and UN, WEF agendas.35:00 Organic health versus pod apartments and smart cities, Greg Braden's critiques, bio-digital convergence, and the biblical remnant who remain faithful.40:00 Trump, MAGA as magician, Marina Abramović, Osiris rituals in inaugurations, Antichrist archetypes, and elite esoteric influences.50:00 Edward Bernays, Rockefeller, UN history, Enlightenment elites, Nephilim bloodlines, Dead Sea Scrolls on sons of light and darkness, Facebook's control systems.55:00 Quantum dots using human energy, D-Wave quantum computers, Gordy Rose's tsunami warning, Samuel's book As It Was in the Days of Noah: The Rising Tsunami.Key InsightsThe episode begins with Stewart Alsop and Samuel connecting through their shared study of Dr. David Hawkins, whose work profoundly influenced both men. Samuel describes his path from Hawkins' teachings into a life-altering encounter with Jesus, which reshaped his spiritual compass and allowed him to question parts of Hawkins' framework that once seemed untouchable. This shift also opened his eyes to the living presence of Christ as a North Star in discerning truth.A central thread is the nature of Lucifer and the entities described in Gnostic, biblical, and esoteric traditions. Samuel wrestles with the reality of Lucifer not just as ego, but as a non-human force tied to Archons, Yaldabaoth, and Ahriman. This leads to the recognition that many leaders openly revere such figures, pointing to a deeper spiritual battle beyond mere metaphor.The discussion examines the suppression and resurgence of Gnosticism. Stewart references Frances Yates' historical research on the rediscovery of Neoplatonism during the Renaissance, which fused with Christianity and influenced the scientific method. Yet, both men note the distortions and dangers within occult systems, where truth often hides alongside demonic inversions.Samuel emphasizes the importance of discernment, contrasting authentic spiritual awakening with the false light of occultism and New Age thought. He draws on the Book of Enoch's account of fallen angels imparting forbidden knowledge, showing how truth can be weaponized when separated from God. The law of attraction, he argues, exemplifies this duality: biblical when rooted in faith, sorcery when used to “become one's own god.”Transhumanism emerges as a major concern, framed as a counterfeit path to evolution. They compare Hawkins' idea of homo spiritus with Barbara Marx Hubbard's transhumanist vision and Elon Musk's Neuralink. Samuel warns of “hijacked timelines” where natural spiritual gifts like telepathy are replaced with machine-based imitations, echoing the warnings of Dune's Butlerian Jihad.Technology is interpreted through a spiritual lens, with algorithms mimicking attractor patterns, social media shaping reality, and Starlink rendering the internet omnipresent. Samuel identifies this as Lucifer's attempt to counterfeit God's attributes, creating a synthetic omniscience that pulls humanity away from organic life and into controlled systems.Finally, the conversation grounds in hope through the biblical concept of the remnant. Samuel explains that while elites pursue timelines toward 2025, 2030, and 2045 with occult enlightenment and digital convergence, those who remain faithful to God, connected to nature, and rooted in Christ form the remnant. This small, organic community represents survival in a time when most will unknowingly merge with the machine, fulfilling the ancient struggle between the sons of light and the sons of darkness.

On today's episode, we welcome Timothy Hogan, a Grand Master of the Knights Templar, who brings to light centuries-old mysteries, including the Vatican's secrets and the Holy Bloodline of Jesus. In our fascinating conversation, Hogan reveals deep connections between ancient orders, suppressed knowledge, and the role of the Templars in preserving sacred truths. Our exploration moves beyond historical timelines and into realms of spiritual wisdom that continue to resonate today. Timothy Hogan opens by explaining the origin of Friday the 13th as unlucky, a date tied to the infamous rounding up of the Knights Templar in 1307 by the Roman Church. As Hogan notes, the Templar Order, rich in spiritual wisdom and guardians of sacred treasures like the Holy Grail, had long been perceived as a threat by the powers that sought to control religious narratives.They were not only warriors but also custodians of profound spiritual truths, including Gnostic and alchemical knowledge, which set them apart from the mainstream religious structures of the time. He shares that the Templars viewed Christ as more than a religious figure confined to the Roman Church's teachings. To the Templars, Jesus embodied universal consciousness—an idea closely linked to the wisdom of Eastern traditions, such as the teachings of Krishna and Buddha. Hogan highlights how the Templars understood the "Christos" as a cosmic principle that transcended physicality, merging esoteric Christian teachings with philosophies from ancient Egypt and India. One of the most mind-opening parts of our dialogue was Hogan's revelation of the Templars' connection to the Holy Grail.As he explains, the Grail is not merely a physical cup but a symbol for something much more profound: the connection between individual consciousness and the universal divine mind. “The Grail represents that mystical union between the personal and the cosmic, the finite and the infinite,” says Hogan. The Templars understood this spiritual alchemy, embodying the idea that we are all walking temples, capable of connecting directly to the divine.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

I believe that I have written the first ever Gnostic kiddie book. And it's ironic because people have this idea--and of course the way a lot of gnosticism is presented, it is very labyrinthian-- but they have this idea that gnosis is impossible to achieve or it's so difficult how can we grasp it? And I have actually simplified it down to uh well the book is  34 pages long but it's double page spreads like kiddie books are. It's a big size book and so it's actually simplified down to only 17 story boards that aged 2 to eight can understand. And really, their parents. I'm thinking they're the ones that are going to be sapping it up the most—the people that are reading this book to the kids. So, it's very exciting to be able to produce a book in a cartoon type of way for little ones that's true.

What exactly is the Gnostic Pleroma? Is it like Heaven or is it like Nirvana? I can't think of anyone better than  Dr. Cyd Ropp for this odyssey. She'll cover the concept of the eternal realm of the Valentinians. She'll also discuss her fantastic new work, Children of the Fullness: A Gnostic Myth. This charming children's book recounts an ancient Gnostic creation myth in a way that even the most skeptical reader can grasp (including James Lindsay or the average orthodox individual). From the One to the creation of the Demiurge, get ready to experience the Gnostic cosmology in an approachable but enlightening way.

Eliza Swann, also known as Emerald, is a writer, artist, alchemist and scholar based in New York. Swann's formative years cultivated a deep interest in the intertwined studies of mysticism and fine art, which remain central to their work as both artist and educator. Swann received a BA in Painting from the San Francisco Art Institute (2004) and an MFA from Central St. Martins in London (2012). Additionally, Swann is an initiate in Gnostic and Hermetic orders, has studied Vedic cosmology with Dr. Vagsish Shastri, trained in mindfulness meditation at the Insight Meditation Society, and studied herbalism and gardening under the guidance of their witch aunt. These studies inform their expansive approach to esoteric and ecological practices.Swann teaches art and mysticism as a unified practice and, in 2014, founded Golden Dome, an artist-in-residence program rooted in queer intersectional mysticism. Since its inception, Golden Dome has expanded to offer nationwide exhibitions, residencies, publications, and educational programming. Swann is currently faculty at Pratt Institute, where they teach “The Alchemical Imagination”, a course they created to introduce alchemical concepts to contemporary creative practice. In 2025, Swann transitioned from directing Golden Dome to launch a new initiative: Emerald School, which explores alchemy as a living, transdisciplinary practice.As a visual artist, Swann has exhibited internationally, most recently at the University of California Santa Cruz and the Feminist Center for Creative Work in Los Angeles. They are the author of The Anatomy of the Aura, Green Mary, and The Alchemical Imagination, and have contributed to numerous publications. Their work has been supported by PEN America, the Foundation for Contemporary Art, the Author's League Fund, the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs, the Pratt Faculty Development Fund, the Feminist Center for Creative Work, the Hemera Fellowship for Contemplative Practice, and the Wassaic Project.Today Eliza shares about their roots, literally, the gardens of their aunt and a return to them after living and traveling beyond. We talk about alchemy and how it folds many disciplines, prayer, devotion, poetry, intuition... into its being. Eliza recalls teachers both direct and indirect and what they're work surfaced. We discuss grief and how alchemy has supported them in navigating both the personal and the global. The Emerald School is the container for their work where they guide folks through the stages of alchemy including a freeing of self and specialty, to move into deeper collaboration with all. "The school becomes a crucible: a space where diverse elements converge, disciplinary boundaries blur, and new ways of knowing can take shape."We talk about their upcoming 9 week online course, "The Alchemical Imagination," Sept. 14-Nov. 16, and their upcoming offering as a part of the O+ Festival, "The Star Inside: Alchemy and the Power of Plants" and why mugwort became a part of the conversation.Today's show was engineered by Ian Seda from Radiokingston.org.Our show music is from Shana Falana!Feel free to email me, say hello: she@iwantwhatshehas.org** Please: SUBSCRIBE to the pod and leave a REVIEW wherever you are listening, it helps other users FIND IThttp://iwantwhatshehas.org/podcastITUNES | SPOTIFYITUNES: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/i-want-what-she-has/id1451648361?mt=2SPOTIFY:https://open.spotify.com/show/77pmJwS2q9vTywz7Uhiyff?si=G2eYCjLjT3KltgdfA6XXCAFollow:INSTAGRAM * https://www.instagram.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcast/FACEBOOK * https://www.facebook.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcast

“I always do what the voices in my head tell me what to do.” That's become a familiar gag line. I don't want to recommend psychosis as a lifestyle, but recently while rereading Carl Jung's biography, Memories, Dreams, Reflections, I was struck by how much emphasis he puts on trusting cues from the unconscious mind even when they don't seem to make any rational sense. There's one such cue that has tugged at me persistently for much of my adult life. It's the feeling that as I've been developing the methodology of evolutionary astrology as I practice it and teach it, that what I was experiencing was more like a process of remembering than one of me actually inventing anything.  There's a problem though – ostensibly, what we call evolutionary astrology only dates back to the 1970s and 1980s. I was born in 1949. How could I have been “remembering” something that hadn't been invented yet? Last May, I taught a class in Athens, Greece, primarily for students in my school. There were many signs and omens that I had some unresolved karma with that country so I approached the trip with some nervousness. I don't want to be too personal in this essay, but if you want the deep background, go to forrestastrology.center and search for one of my “Master's Musings” blogs from June 2025 called “What Greece Meant To Me.” The upshot is that there is much indirect evidence from various sources that, in a prior lifetime, I was a Gnostic Christian in that region of the world in the first or second centuries, C.E.  True or not, the problem still remains: how could I have experienced anything like evolutionary astrology almost two thousand years ago? At first there seems to be no rational support for such a notion. But as strange as it may seem, I have come to believe that a Gnostic in the Roman Empire culture of the second century C.E. would actually find much that was familiar in the work that we contemporary evolutionary astrologers are doing today, at least at the philosophical level.

In this episode we look at Mary Magdalene, the favorite female disciple of Jesus. The gospels suggest that Mary became a follower of Jesus after he expelled seven demons from her. Pope Gregory promoted the narrative that she was a "repentent prostitute". The various Gnostic gospels suggest that Mary knew and understood secrets that the other Apostles could not understand, and she was frequently dismissed and challenged by Simon Peter, acknowledged as the first Pope of the church. We look at the stories about Mary Magdalene, both the history and the tradition, and ultimately ask the question--did Mary have the secret to escaping the cycle of time, hinted at by the Gnostic gospels? 

In this episode, David and Gene journey into the heart of one of Gnosticism's most profound and transformative myths - the second descent of the Trimorphic Protennoia. This stage represents the "pregnancy" phase in the evolution of consciousness, following the implantation of the seed idea of Unity, during the first descent.What follows is a psychic apocalypse, an inner "Dark Night of the Soul" where the very foundations of the ego-built world begin to crumble. The established parts of the mind, the Archons, are gripped by a terrifying premonition of their own dissolution. The text vividly portrays this as the birth pangs of a New Aeon, where the death of the old self gives way to the birth of the True Self, an identity conscious of its divine origins.The Protennoia, having planted the seed as Father, now reveals herself as the Mother - the womb in which this new consciousness gestates. She is the androgynous and self-contained, as symbolized by the Ouroboros. She is the Voice that emerges from the silent Thought. As a prophetess and teacher, she foretells the end of the age of ignorance ruled by the Demiurge.Hearing her "exalted Speech," the terrified Archons confront their creator, the "false god" who has claimed to be the sole deity. In this dramatic confrontation, the man behind the curtain is exposed, and the entire authority structure of the ego collapses. The Archons, realizing their "tree of life" is actually a "tree of death," are forced to question their very existence and all the choices they have made while under the spell of separation.From this chaos, a new hope dawns. Acting as a "Mother of Mercy," the Protennoia speaks directly to the "Sons of the Thought" - those parts of the mind ready to receive her hidden mysteries. She invites them into the "Aeon of Barbelo," a new and eternal state of being.This is a spiritual initiation, a promise of being glorified, enthroned, and baptized in a perfect, exalted Light. The episode unpacks this mystical initiation, explaining that it is not an external ceremony but an internal transformation, an organic process that unfolds from within. This journey leads consciousness back to its source, culminating in the Protennoia taking her seat on a branch of the true Tree of Life, having weathered the apocalypse to establish a new, unshakable center within the self.Deep Dive:The Trimorphic Protennoia - Three Forms of First ThoughtChapters:01:15 Introduction01:56 Review06:25 The Second Descent09:40 Voice From Thought14:00 The Changeless Aeon17:03 Shaking the Foundations of Chaos20:51 False God Revealed23:11 The End is Near26:25 Aeon of Barbelo29:42 Invitation to Initiation33:13 Voice of the Holy Spirit36:05 ConclusionsResources:Trimorphic Protennoia - John D.

On today's episode of the Occult Symbolism and Pop Culture with Isaac Weishaupt podcast we have the August BONUS episode for supporter feeds! We dive deep into the occult symbolism of Danny Boyle's Sunshine, exploring how the film functions as a modern allegory for death, rebirth, and humanity's obsession with the solar deity. We unpack the story of Icarus as a metaphor for approaching the divine unprepared, and the recurring symbolism of the number seven as the union of spirit and matter. The crew's obsession with staring into the sun becomes a study in ego death and the alchemical process of Nigredo, while the Black Sun imagery and cube-shaped bomb reflect Saturnian forces, time, and entropy. We'll connect the hidden sun concept from Crowley and Kenneth Grant to Gnostic and Freemasonic ideas of oppositional polarities, and show how Pinbacker represents the ultimate adversarial initiator, testing humanity's capacity to transcend mortal limitations. Ultimately, Sunshine is a meditation on facing death, confronting the constraints of matter, and creating a new sun within the sun—a ritualistic and esoteric journey encoded in a sci-fi epic.FULL EPISODE NOW UP AD-FREE ON ALL SUPPORTER FEEDS!

Is AI intelligent—or just artificial? In this provocative episode, Dr. Noreen Herzfeld, a rare scholar of both computer science and theology, joins Dru Johnson to expose what most people overlook about artificial intelligence. Drawing from her recent book The Artifice of Intelligence, she challenges the mythology of AGI (artificial general intelligence) and critiques the environmental, social, and theological costs of current AI use. Herzfeld argues that large language models are plateauing and that the real danger isn't a superintelligence—it's our uncritical, energy-intensive use of biased software masquerading as neutral tools. She warns of AI's water and fossil fuel demands, its disembodied affirmation loops, and the illusion that chatbots are viable substitutes for therapists, pastors, or friends. Rooting her critique in Christian theology, Herzfeld defends the value of embodiment, human uniqueness, and community. She sees modern AI and transhumanist dreams as a return to ancient Gnostic heresies—disembodied, elitist, and ultimately dehumanizing. This episode is essential for anyone navigating the ethical, spiritual, and ecological implications of AI. You'll come away more equipped to use AI critically—and to resist the false promises of digital utopia.

He was born in Asia Minor around the year 120, and was a disciple of Saint Polycarp, who was in turn a disciple of St John the Evangelist. He succeeded the martyred St Pothinus as Bishop of Lyons in Gaul (now France). He produced many writings contesting not only against paganism but against Gnostic heresies that were then troubling the Church. When Victor, Bishop of Rome, planned to excommunicate the Christians of Asia Minor for celebrating Pascha on a different date than the Church of Rome, Irenaeus persuaded him to stay his hand and maintain unity and peace in the Church. (This was before the date of Pascha had been set by the Ecumenical Councils). By his efforts Lyons became for centuries a center and bastion of Orthodoxy in the West.

In this episode, we're talking about the Lordship of Jesus—not as some abstract, future hope, but as a present, concrete reality. Too often, modern evangelicalism has reduced Christ's Lordship to the realm of private salvation, personal piety, and quiet devotion. But the Bible paints a much bigger picture.Paul tells us in Romans that Abraham was promised the world as his inheritance. Salvation is cosmic. Christ's resurrection victory is undoing sin across creation. And as Abraham Kuyper famously said, there is not one square inch of human existence over which Christ does not declare, “Mine.”When we treat Lordship as merely individual, we lose courage, we retreat into privatized religion, and we avoid confronting the idols of our culture. But when we confess that Jesus is Lord over family, church, state, and the whole created order, then our faith takes flesh. It marches, sings, builds, and leaves an imprint of righteousness wherever it goes.This is no Gnostic mantra. “Jesus is Lord” is our dogma, and it means the earth belongs to Him and His people. The spoils of His victory are not hidden away for later—they are for His church to claim here and now.Omnia et in omnibus Christus. Christ all and in all.

In this episode of Point of Convergence, Darren/Exo asks: why does this gnostic notion of our waking experience not being ultimately real prove so enduring? Why does some version of this perspective show up over and over again within human experience; evident in everything from Vedanta to Buddhism to Jungian depth psychology? Perhaps even more compellingly—at least to modern ears—why are elements of this perspective evident in our most cutting-edge physics, astronomy and neuroscience? More to the point, if this is indeed a truer apprehension of ultimate reality, then what are the implications, and how now shall we live?

This week, the guys explore the idea of a primordial tradition, an ancient, esoteric current of knowledge, woven through mythologies across the world, with a focus on Native American traditions. They discuss the possibility that the Knights Templar may have reached the Americas long before Columbus, forming secret brotherhoods with Indigenous peoples and sharing in sacred knowledge. From Templar flags on Columbus's ships to the mysterious symbolism of ancient mound sites, they trace the hidden codes, handshakes, and Atlantean echoes that suggest a deeper, forgotten history connecting the Old World and the New.
