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!

What happens when we reduce Jesus to merely a powerful deity rather than our sovereign Lord? While exploring Philippians 2:5-11, we dive into why this passage became the most quoted text among early church fathers as they defended essential Christian doctrine against dangerous heresies.This episode examines how the early church confronted four major heresies—Docetism, Arianism, Nestorianism, and Gnosticism—and why their modern versions continue threatening orthodox faith today. From moral relativism that subjectively redefines sin to syncretism that blends Christianity with other religious practices, these repackaged ancient errors undermine biblical truth in subtle but devastating ways.How do we guard against these influences? By distinguishing between "closed-hand" non-negotiable doctrines and "open-hand" matters where Christians can respectfully disagree. We must reject modernity's pressure to innovate doctrine, submit to wise spiritual leaders, remain comfortable with divine mystery, and pursue Christ with both love and reverent fear.My hope is that this podcast helps grow your faith and equips you to accomplish your dreams and goals!Follow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookFollow me on TikTok

We've been working through 2 Timothy on Sunday evenings. Last week I preached from 2 Timothy 3:6-9. It's a passage–like many in the pastoral epistles–that deals with false teaching. Paul warns against the folly of false teaching (and against the folly of falling for it).Which leads to the question: what is false teaching and how do we spot it?Obviously, there is no foolproof scheme for identifying false teaching. Biblical discernment takes years of prayer, preaching, and practice. But there are certain questions that may be help us sift the good from the bad. Here are 15 discernment diagnostic questions I suggested to my congregation.7. Does the teaching involve secrets? This was the appeal of Gnosticism. It purported to lead the initiate into the realm of secret knowledge. This is what makes me nervous about Masons, Mormons, and even many fraternities and sororities. Unless national security is involved, be wary of groups that are held together by tightly held secrets. Books with “secret” in the title are usually suspect too (Lesslie Newbigin's The Open Secret being the exception that proves the rule).8. Does it rely on a cartoon view of God? False teaching tends to cast God as either as a autocratic strongman or a friendly face passing out beads at Woodstock? By contrast, the God of the Bible shines forth with (to use Jonathan Edwards' phrase) a host of diverse excellencies.9. Does the teaching use big themes to negate specific verses? We should always interpret Scripture with Scripture, but we must not allow amorphous themes like love or justice or grace to flatten the contours of Scripture.For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

"Unveiling the Mystery of the Luciferian Doctrine" "The Ancient Battle: Gnosticism vs. Christianity" Welcome to the latest episode of Right on Radio, hosted by Jeff, where we delve into the intriguing and often misunderstood topic of the Luciferian Doctrine and its roots in ancient mystery schools and Gnosticism. Celebrating five years of enlightening discussions and deep teachings, Jeff revisits the influences of William Cooper, a mentor and catalyst in his spiritual journey, and shares a unique compilation video that explores these complex themes. This episode sheds light on the philosophical clash between occult teachings and Christian beliefs, illustrating how the Bible has been interpreted and manipulated by secret societies and mystical orders. We explore how these entities aim to deceive through the allure of secret knowledge and the promise of becoming gods through intellect and illumination. Jeff guides us through Cooper's insights on the infiltration of religious institutions by adept and discusses the enduring influence of figures like Blavatsky and Pike on contemporary beliefs. Listen carefully to uncover the layers of deception that align with biblical prophecies and see how they influence modern spiritual practices and societal norms. The episode serves as a call to root yourself in scripture, safeguarding against end-time deceptions that aim to lead even the most faithful astray. Tune in to understand the biblical context of the new world order and reinforce your faith in the face of pervasive false doctrines, with the comforting reminder that God's word remains supreme.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop speaks with Ryan Estes about the intersections of podcasting, AI, ancient philosophy, and the shifting boundaries of consciousness and technology. Their conversation spans topics like the evolution of language, the impact of AI on human experience, the role of sensory interfaces, the tension between scientism and spiritual insight, and how future technologies might reshape power structures and daily life. Ryan also shares thoughts on data ownership, the illusion of modern VR, and the historical suppression of mystical knowledge. Listeners can connect with Ryan on LinkedIn and check out his podcast at AIforFounders.co.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 – Stewart Alsop and Ryan Estes open with thoughts on podcasting, conversation as primal instinct, and the richness of voice communication.05:00 – Language and consciousness, bicameral mind theory, early religion, and auditory hallucinations.10:00 – AI, cognitive ergonomics, interfacing with tech, new modes of communication, and speculative consciousness.15:00 – Scientism, projections, and authenticity; ownership of hardware, software, and data.20:00 – Tech oligarchs, Apple, Google, OpenAI, and privacy trade-offs.25:00 – VR, escapism, illusion vs. reality, Buddhist and Gnostic parallels.30:00 – Magic, Neoplatonism, Copernicus, alchemy, and suppressed knowledge.35:00 – Oligarchy, the fragile middle class, democracy's design, and authority temptation.40:00 – AGI, economic shifts, creative labor, vibe coding, and optimism about future work.45:00 – Podcasting's future, amateur charm, content creation tools, TikTok promotion.Key InsightsConversation is a foundational human instinct that transcends digital noise and brings people together in a meaningful way. Ryan Estes reflects on how podcasting revives the richness of dialogue, countering the flattening effects of modern communication platforms.The evolution of language might have sparked consciousness itself. Drawing on theories like the bicameral mind, Estes explores how early humans may have experienced internal commands as divine voices, illustrating a deep link between communication, cognition, and early religious structures.AI is not just a tool but a bridge to new kinds of consciousness. With developments in cognitive ergonomics and responsive interfaces, Estes imagines a future where subconscious cues might influence technology directly, reshaping how we interact with our environment and each other.Ownership of software, hardware, and data is emerging as a critical issue. Estes emphasizes that to avoid dystopian outcomes—such as corporate control via neural interfaces—individuals must reclaim the stack, potentially profiting from their own data and customizing their tech experiences.Virtual reality and AI-generated environments risk becoming addictive escapes, particularly for marginalized populations. Estes likens this to a digital opiate, drawing parallels to spiritual ideas about illusion and cautioning against losing ourselves in these seductive constructs.The suppression of mystical traditions—like Gnosticism, Neoplatonism, and indigenous knowledge—has led to vast cultural amnesia. Estes underscores how historical power structures systematically erased insights that modern AI might help rediscover or recontextualize.Despite the turbulence, AI and AGI offer a radically optimistic future. Estes sees the potential for a 10x productivity boost and entirely new forms of work, creativity, and leisure, reshaping what it means to be economically and spiritually fulfilled in a post-knowledge age.

This message centered on the threat of Gnosticism, legalism, and spiritual deception that seek to draw believers away from intimacy with Christ. We examined how the early church combated these influences by holding fast to the truth of Christ's humanity, divinity, and finished work on the cross. Emphasis was placed on the essential role of the local church in maintaining spiritual health, protection, and fellowship. Believers were encouraged to remain grounded in love, to resist self-effort, and to trust God's guidance within the local assembly.

The Jesus bloodline refers to the proposition that a lineal sequence of the historical Jesus has persisted, possibly to the present time. Although absent from the Gospels or historical records, the concept of Jesus having descendants has gained a presence in the public imagination, as seen with Holy Blood, Holy Grail a book by Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh, and Henry Lincoln and Dan Brown's 2003 best-selling novel The Da Vinci Code. These claimed Jesus's bloodlines are distinct from the biblical genealogy of Jesus, which concerns the ancestors of Jesus, and from the alleged Brothers of Jesus and other kin of Jesus, known as the Desposyni. Joel continues to peel back the layers shrouding the mystery of the supposed Bloodlines of Jesus Christ. He looks at the origins of the Knights Templar and how their roots go back to not only the Priory of Sion but Rex Deus and the Essenes. He then takes a look at the hidden relationship between the Templars and the Islamic Assassins and how they both professed outwardly their devotion to Christianity and Islam but secretly practiced esoteric Gnosticism coupled with devotion to hiding hidden bloodlines. He also peers into Rosslyn Chapel, the secrets it holds, including Freemasonic treasures along with the Holy Grail. Finally, Joel lays out the Gnostic blueprint for hiding the genealogy of Jesus and Mary Magdalene and what became of their purported children.

After all the deep truths covered in 1 John, we see an added “P.S.” in John’s following epistles. Pastor Greg Laurie shares they’re filled with love, warning, and encouragement. Notes: Focus verse - 2 John 1 2nd and 3rd John are filled with love, warning and encouragement. We can find comfort in God’s Word—His ultimate love letter to us. 1st John was written to give assurance to believers.(1 John 5:13) The Bible promises, “He who began a good work in you will complete it.”(Philippians 1:6) Salvation is God’s work from beginning to end. It’s not based on how you feel, it’s based on what Jesus did. John was refuting something called Gnosticism. Gnostics did not believe that God came into this world and walked among us. “If a person claiming to be a prophet acknowledges that Jesus Christ came in a real body, that person has the Spirit of God.”(1 John 4:2) To be a Christian, you must believe that Jesus was born of a virgin and was God among us; that He was fully God and fully man and He died on the cross for our sins, and He bodily rose three days later and will come again. 1 John can be divided into three sections:1. God is Light (1 John 1:1–2:2)2. God is Love (1 John 2:3–4:21)3. God is Life (1 John 5) Read: 2 John 1:1–3 1. God wants us to walk in truth and love. Truth without love is harsh. Love without truth is hollow. Truth anchors us while love moves us.Truth gives us the message; love gives us the method. Love is obeying the Lord. 2. When we walk in truth and love the devil will be opposing us.(2 John 1:7–8) John has warned us about both Antichrist and Antichrists. 3. God cares about every area of your life.(3 John 1:1–2) “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.”(3 John 1:2) God does want us to prosper, but what is Biblical prosperity?In short, it is knowing and walking with God and bringing forth spiritual fruit. God can and will bless you with wealth, but with that wealth comes responsibility.(1 Timothy 6:17–18) If you are blessed financially that’s not a sin, it’s a stewardship. “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.”(3 John 1:2) God does not heal everyone, but He does still heal today. 4. Coming to Christ is life-changing; continuing with Christ is life-sustaining.(3 John 1:3–4) “I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.”(3 John 1:4) “A good character is the best tombstone. Those who love you and were helped by you will remember you, so carve your name on hearts, not marble.” —C.H. Spurgeon 5. God’s people should underwrite God’s work.(3 John 1:5–8) It pleases God when we support God’s Word financially.(3 John 1:6) We should not have a discomfort talking or hearing about giving.The Bible speaks more about giving than prayer or faith. There are over 2,000 verses on the topic of money, possessions, and giving. Giving is not just about finances, it’s a test of trust and obedience to God. We share in the reward when we invest our money. 6. There are real and fake believers in the church.(3 John 1:9–11) Ultimately, it is God who will sort out the real and the counterfeit. 7. Be a Demetrius not a Diotrephes.(3 John 1:9, 12) Demetrius v. DiotrephesHad a good testimony. Had a poor testimony.Respected by all. Rebuked by John for being divisive and proud.Welcoming and faithful. Kicked people out of the church and drove them away. 1. Walk in truth and love.2. Support God’s people and God’s work.3. Be a bridge-builder, not a bridge-burner.4. Leave a godly legacy.5. Don’t be a Diotrephes, be a Demetrius.

How do you interpret the spiritual visions seers see? In this episode, Doug Overmyer is joined by Emily Dixon of Faith and Other Oddities to explore practical and biblical methods for understanding supernatural encounters. Drawing from Chapter 10 of the book Seers See, we unpack the Pillars of Interpretation — filters like the New Covenant, the Kingdom of God, the Now/Not Yet framework, and Holy Spirit guidance. Using examples from Jeremiah and Ezekiel, we show how different prophets saw the same truth through their unique personalities—just like modern seers today. From prophetic themes of collapse to cultural confusion and spiritual warfare, we discuss how to discern truth from fear, symbols from over-interpretation, and what it means to "pilot like Jesus."This is a deeply personal and theological conversation about how to wisely discern supernatural visions in light of Scripture, Holy Spirit, and God's purposes. We also touch on false teachings rooted in Gnosticism, modern identity confusion, and why seers often struggle with both heaven and earth. Whether you're a Christian exploring the supernatural or a seer navigating your gift, this episode will equip you to better interpret what you see—and live out your calling with clarity and courage.

Welcome back to Restoring the Soul with Michael John Cusick. In today's episode, Michael sits down with Tara Owens, author of Embracing the Body: Finding God in Our Flesh and Bone, for a rich conversation about the intersection of faith, embodiment, and the profound ways our physical selves connect us to God. Together, they explore how centuries of Christian teaching have shaped our views of the body, often separating the spiritual from the physical, and what it looks like to reclaim embodied living as part of spiritual wholeness.Tara shares deeply from her own story, reflecting on the journey toward befriending her body, wrestling with illness, and moving beyond inherited theologies that diminish the goodness of our physicality. Michael and Tara discuss the ongoing relevance of Jesus's embodiment—his exhaustion, pain, and friendships—and how this shapes our understanding of being human and spiritual.Touching on themes like Gnosticism, church history, touch deprivation in our society, and the real-life struggles of finding God amid physical limitations, this episode is a vulnerable invitation to embrace the sacredness of our skin and bones.Whether you're curious about embodiment, recovering from damaging messages about your body, or simply longing for a deeper spiritual connection, this conversation illuminates the wholeness available when we find God not despite our bodies but through them. Plus, Tara offers insights into her ministry, Anam Cara, and the role of spiritual direction in nurturing soulful friendship with God.Support the showENGAGE THE RESTORING THE SOUL PODCAST:- Follow us on YouTube - Tweet us at @michaeljcusick and @PodcastRTS- Like us on Facebook- Follow us on Instagram & Twitter- Follow Michael on Twitter- Email us at info@restoringthesoul.com Thanks for listening!

Enjoy this special show where we took calls via phone and chat room. From the nature of Yawhe to the promise of Sophia, we covered a lot of ground. I was joined by all my wingmen, as well as my GenX Wasteland sidekick, Dr. Ray Taylor, who provided his unique take on esoteric Christianity. I've delivered plenty of news, but the audience had some incredible takes on Gnosis and Gnosticism. It was relaxed, fun, and incendiary, a Gnostic Festivus of sorts.

Darkness Radio Presents: The Occult Elvis: The Mystical and Magical Life of the King with Podcaster/Author Miguel Connor! Writer and researcher Miguel Conner reveals how Elvis was a profound mystic, occultist, and shaman. Beginning with the unusual circumstances of his birth—and his stillborn twin brother—Conner traces the diverse thread of mysticism that runs through Elvis Presley's life, drawing on firsthand accounts from the people closest to him, including his wife, Priscilla, the Memphis Mafia, and his spiritual advisors.  Conner argues that Elvis was well-versed in the esoteric practices of sex magic, meditation, astrology, and numerology and had a deep familiarity with Kabbalah, Gnosticism, Theosophy, and Eastern traditions. He also reveals how Elvis was a natural healer, telekinetic, psychic, and astral traveler who had significant mystical experiences and UFO encounters. Looking at the conspiratorial and paranormal aspects of Elvis's life, the author explores the "Elvis visitations" that have occurred since the King's death and the general high weirdness of his life. As Conner convincingly argues, Elvis was not just a one-of-a-kind rock-and-roller. He was the greatest magician America ever produced. On Today's Show, We talk to Miguel about whether Elvis was always destined to become who he was, what shaped his spirituality. some of the occult practices Elvis got into, and his abilities... and some of the appearances Elvis made... after he died!

God is bigger than whatever you're facing in life right now. But not only is He all-powerful, but very loving. In this message, Pastor Greg Laurie teaches on God's deep love for you, faith in the storm, and much more. Notes: Focus verse - 1 John 4 There will be more false prophets and false messiahs in the last days. “Don’t believe every spirit. Test them, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.”1 John 4:1 The bible speaks of the spiritual battle we are engaged in. The bible tells us, “To take up the whole armor of God.” Hebrews 13:2 Read 1 John 4:1–3 #1 We are in a spiritual war. Antichrist will be a real person, a world leader; he will deceive the world. John was refuting Gnosticism. Gnostics believed salvation came through “hidden spiritual knowledge,” not Christ. To be a Christian, you must believe that Jesus was born of a virgin and was God among us.He was fully God and fully man and He died on the cross for our sins.He bodily rose again three days later, and He will come again. The purpose of 1 John was so we could know God,and so you could know you have eternal life. I have written this to you who believe in the name of the Son of God,so that you may know you have eternal life.1 John 5:13 (NLT) John uses the word ginosko for 'know'.John is saying, “there is no secret knowledge, you can know this now.” #2 God is bigger and greater than everyone and everything.1 John 4:4 God is greater than Satan, greater than sin, greater than your problem. A. Moses at the Red SeaGod said, “I will fight for you, you need only to be still.”Exodus 14:14 B. David and GoliathGoliath was big, but God was bigger. C. The disciples on the Sea of GalileeJesus was bigger than the storm. #3 If we really know God, we will love others.1 John 4:7–11 #1 God is light.1 John 1:1–2:2 #2 God is love.1 John 2:3–4:21 #3 God is life.1 John 5 Light and love are inseparable, as are truth and grace. Light exposes darkness.Love reaches out to the people in darkness. #4 God’s love is greater than our worst fears.I John 4:18 This is simply having the confidence that you are loved and forgiven by God.He lovingly will guide your life and one day welcome you to heaven. If you are living in fear, especially fear of judgement,you have not yet grasped what it is to be loved by God. Jesus absorbed God’s wrath for you. #5 God will never stop loving you.Romans 8:38–39 Fears change with the passing of time. God has something to say to us at every stage of life. #6 Our love for God is a response to God’s love for us.1 John 4:19 God’s love is what draws us to Him. We’re remembering that love moved in, and fear had to move out. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.
