Freddy Silva is an author, a speaker and an independent researcher of ancient knowledge and lost civilizations, in particular the temples and other megalithic sites our ancestors built and left behind. The old cultures knew where to build these things to harness the flow of energy. In Freddy Silva's mind, they are portals.“All of these places around the world that we call temples, for lack of a better word, are located at seismically active spots, and the foundation on which they stand create an electrical charge or current along the landscape.”The builders also carefully chose the rocks they used to build their temples. They would sometimes go hundreds of miles to find the right stones, which have the properties to act as a kind of energy field.“All this makes the laws of physics act differently within these sites”, says Freddy.Very few of the megalithic temples were burial sites. They were used for out of body experiences, shamanism and “accessing information from an astral reference library”.“We can call them portals because they literally punch a hole in the way we view the third dimension, and they get you to access another level of reality.”Today we know that the heightened energetic lines where old megalithic temples are found are telluric currents. NASA has actually mapped them.“Anywhere these telluric currents cross on the surface of the earth, you'll find a standing stone, a dolmen, a mound, a pyramid, a stonehenge”, says Freddy.Thousands of years ago, people knew how to pick up on these energetic lines. They didn't really need to build anything to harness the energy. So why did many of them do that? Freddy Silva thinks they wanted to “x-mark” the highly charged places by placing megaliths on them and preserve them, because they knew that humans in the future – us – would forget this knowledge.“That's the only explanation that makes sense to me.”In fact, not all ancient cultures built megaliths. Neither the indigenous Australians nor the Hopis did, for example. They just knew where the sacred places were.When Christianity arrived, we were well into forgetfulness. Interestingly enough, however, the Gothic cathedrals of the late medieval era were built on sacred sites. The ancient knowledge had gone underground and secretly been preserved and conveyed, starting with the mystery schools of Egypt and continuing with the Essenes and the Gnostics. The Knights templar were one of these groups that were privy to the old wisdom“They were essentially the Essenes under a different name.”The Templars oversaw the erection of some of the most magnificent Gothic cathedrals in Europe in the 12th and 13th century. “They built sacred spaces disguised as catholic churches. This is the best joke in history”, Freddy quips.He believes that the knowledge of “the gods” – how nature really works – goes all the way back to the Atlantean civilization, which collapsed in the Younger Dryas period 12,000 to 13,000 years ago.The cataclysm that ended the previous high civilizations was likely caused by a devastating bombardment of cosmic debris, which gave rise to an obsession our ancestors had with looking at the sky.“Like in Central America. Why this obsession with long range calendars? The Maya have something like 14 calendars, and some cover hundreds of thousands of years.”Our ancestors are telling us a cautionary tale. Today scientists know that the chunks of rock that created the big flood – the bulk of the Taurid meteor stream – are coming back between 2036 and 2042.But Freddy Silva is hopeful. We can be prepared.“The old cultures teach us that we are the Gods we've been waiting for. The help is there for us to find.”Freddy Silva's website

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.

Full Text of ReadingsSaturday of the Twelfth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 376The Saint of the day is Saint IrenaeusSaint Irenaeus' Story The Church is fortunate that Irenaeus was involved in many of its controversies in the second century. He was a student, well trained no doubt, with great patience in investigating, tremendously protective of apostolic teaching, but prompted more by a desire to win over his opponents than to prove them in error. As bishop of Lyons he was especially concerned with the Gnostics, who took their name from the Greek word for “knowledge.” Claiming access to secret knowledge imparted by Jesus to only a few disciples, their teaching was attracting and confusing many Christians. After thoroughly investigating the various Gnostic sects and their “secret,” Irenaeus showed to what logical conclusions their tenets led. These he contrasted with the teaching of the apostles and the text of Holy Scripture, giving us, in five books, a system of theology of great importance to subsequent times. Moreover, his work, widely used and translated into Latin and Armenian, gradually ended the influence of the Gnostics. The circumstances and details about his death, like those of his birth and early life in Asia Minor, are not at all clear. However in 2022, Pope Francis named Saint Irenaeus a Doctor of the Church. Reflection A deep and genuine concern for other people will remind us that the discovery of truth is not to be a victory for some and a defeat for others. Unless all can claim a share in that victory, truth itself will continue to be rejected by the losers, because it will be regarded as inseparable from the yoke of defeat. And so, confrontation, controversy and the like might yield to a genuine united search for God's truth and how it can best be served. Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Saturday of the 12th Week in Ordinary Time Memorial of St. Irenaeus, 130-202; as bishop of Lyons, he was especially concerned with the "Gnostics," who claimed "secret knowlege" which Jesus had imparted to only a few disciples; Irenaeus compared their "secret" with Holy Scripture, and showed a system of theology of great importance to subsequent times; his work gradually ended the influence of the Gnostics Office of Readings and Morning Prayer for 6/28/25 Gospel: Matthew 8:5-17

There are just a couple of basic ways you can think about evolution. As commonly taught in school, “scientific” evolution explains the tremendous diversity of life on Earth as lucky mutations that add up to great results. Darwinism promotes the idea that mutations and mechanisms morph into increasingly sophisticated life forms, because genetic goof-ups allow the ones who change to better survive and dominate those who stayed true to form. These lucky mutations keep going in the same lucky direction until there are so many of them that they add up to a new and improved creature. And now they are “evolved.” Gnostics have another way of looking at so-called evolution. Not only is creation preconceived in the Fullness of God, aka "conscious design," but we are all there from the beginning because time is an illusion.

Hey love. I'm running an experiment that proves "perfect" is a scam the world plays you.What if the essence of "BE-ing COMPLETE" is the real superpower?What is perfectionism, really?FIRST ETYMOLOGY. I've created a habit of looking at teh true essence of a word, to remove the evolution of “SPELLS” that change the words meaning over years of interpretation. Looking back to the early 13th century, “perfection” meant a consummate, finished state—something so excellent that nothing was lacking, nothing left to desire.It was about flawlessness, COMPLETION.But as the centuries rolled on, perfectionism shifted into something more: a relentless urge for flawlessness, correctness, for achieving some outer standard set by invisible authorities.Here's the BIG POINT:Perfectionism has become a tool of “power dynamics.”We internalize the idea that we have to prove our worth by performing—by living up to someone else's idea (OR OUR OWN CRAZY EXPECTATIONS) of perfect action.Standards get set outside of us, and we start dancing to their tune.We're told the rules, we're graded, measured, always aiming for the bar that keeps moving just out of reach.It permeates systems of achievement, the workplace, religion—almost everything is rigged to constantly pull us outside of ourselves for validation.So, what happens?We slowly start to negate our own inner truth.The 1-800-MUST-BE-PERFECT calls the subconscious and the internal search for self-worth gets wrapped up in a neverending chase for approval and flawless performance, always determined by someone or something else.Even as we begin our spiritual journeys and start trusting ourselves a little more, those ingrained habits of judgment—the old right-and-wrong, good-and-bad mindset—can keep us trapped.Essentially, you're living outside-in.TRUST ME. There's another way to release this unconscious rat race destroying your joy.As we peel back these layers, something transformational begins to happen.We rediscover discernment.Unlike judgment, which is harsh and external, discernment is about witnessing what's true for us in each living moment.It's subtle but profound: a felt sense, a resonance, an inner alignment.Instead of asking, “Am I perfect?” we start to ask, “Am I complete, right now?”When we let go of perfectionism as some external finish line, we step into participation with life that is whole, balanced, and authentic.We become the authority of our own experience, finding completion in the present, even when things are messy or unfinished on the outside.So, here are the questions that become our new compass:What do I want, truly?How do I begin now?What's my next step?Am I complete in this experience, in this moment?When judgment drags us out of presence, we can gently come back to these questions—back to ourselves.The difference is subtle but life-changing.Here's a simple example:Let's say you bought a course because a friend insisted it would change your life.You started, but then got busy, or distracted by another book or podcast.Guilt whispers, “I spent the money, I should finish.”But if you pause and ask, “Am I complete with this, right now?”, the experience stops being a test of failure or worth.It just becomes an experience—not another metric to judge yourself by.This shift—this move from outward striving to inward knowing—has deep roots in the history of spiritual wisdom.In ancient times, this was known as Gnosis.The word “Gnosis” simply means knowledge, but in Gnostic traditions, it carries a far deeper meaning: it's the intuitive, experiential knowledge of the soul, the direct knowing of our spiritual essence.Gnostics understood that true liberation wasn't about following commandments and dogmas set by institutions, but about discovering the divine spark within ourselves—an inner truth found in lived experience and contemplation.Contrast this with the outward focus of, say, the Ten Commandments of Christianity, which for millennia have drawn lines between inner and outer truth, between personal knowing and external authority.Much of what we call religious “truth” was actually a way of placing authority outside the individual, of hiding the deeper, direct knowing that is available to each of us.As we reclaim our birthright of Gnosis, we step into a very old, and very radical, way of being.It is not new; it is ancient wisdom that's simply been forgotten, or hidden just below the surface.In the Gnostic texts—like the Gospel of Philip—we see a completely different map for awakening.The focus is on inner knowledge, not just faith or ritual.The Kingdom of God is not some future place, but an awakening within—a recognition that the “Light of Christ,” or the divine spark, lives in every person.True transformation is not about perfect behavior or future salvation; it's about finding resurrection and newness of life within, while we're still alive.One of the most beautiful teachings ascribed to Jesus in these texts is:“I am the light that is of all; I am everything: everything has come out of me and everything has returned to me.Cut a tree, I am there; lift up a stone, and you will find Me there.”This is an invitation beyond dogma and duality.It's a call to recognize that inner light—something the gospel of John echoes: “There was the true Light, which gives light to every man who comes into the world.”Ironically, as faith became institutionalized, this inner way was often suppressed.The experience of God as directly knowable was sidelined, replaced with belief in outward forms.Carl Jung warned us that if religion is just faith and belief in stories, but doesn't touch our souls and awaken us from within, then “nothing of any importance has happened.”So, what's the antidote?It's coming HOME to ourselves.Feeling complete in the moment—being present to our truth, our balance, not someone else's version of perfection.Myths, as Jung also said, become dead if we stop living in relationship with them—if they no longer grow and give us answers from within.So as we move forward, we're called to become spiritual adults—responsible for our own relationship with divine reality, yet humble in the vastness of what we cannot know.We discover not just ancient wisdom, but a way of living that transforms both ourselves and our world.We become participants, not subjects; whole, not perfect.Remember:YOUR soul is a unique perspective of Creation.Our journey isn't about meeting a standard of perfection set by others, but about cultivating ever-deeper levels of discernment and presence—refining our truth from the inside out, moment by moment.The paradox, of course, is that the more we surrender the quest for perfection, the more whole and complete we become—right here, right now.Thanks for listening.If this episode sparked something in you, I invite you to pause for a moment, breathe, and ask yourself—not “Am I perfect?”, but “Am I complete in this moment?”There's your answer.Blue Skies, KassandraThe Light Between is a reader-supported publication.

A little know Biblical account of Moses' body. God's personal handling on his burial. What does this mean for our own bodies? How has the Church been lied to, or has been lying? Jesus' Body is everything, our bodies are dust. The Gnostics believed the very substance of our bodies were pure defilement. But something isnt adding up...

Archons flee as Dr. David Litwa once again graces the Virtual Alexandria. Let's understand Gnosis in the most historical yet intimate way, based on David's new book, Understanding Gnosis. Yet this spiritual tech didn't happen in a vacuum, so we'll unearth key concepts like the Divine Spark, the evil Demiurge, syncretism, and more. Did this mode of divine knowledge happen before the Gnostics, perhaps in ancient Sumeria? How did Gnosis inform the political and moral views of Classical Gnosticism? Get ready for this and more answers, leading to better self-knowledge for you.

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.

In the early centuries of Church history as well as in our day, many cults and false teachings have denied either the full deity or the full humanity of the Lord Jesus Christ. Groups such as the Arians taught that Jesus was merely God's highest created being, while the Gnostics believed that he was divine and only appeared to be human.

In the early centuries of Church history as well as in our day, many cults and false teachings have denied either the full deity or the full humanity of the Lord Jesus Christ. Groups such as the Arians taught that Jesus was merely God's highest created being, while the Gnostics believed that he was divine and only appeared to be human.

In this episode of the Prometheus Lens Podcast, host Doc Brown welcomes back Heidi Love to delve deeper into the complexities of Mormonism and its connections to historical events, particularly the assassination of JFK. The conversation explores the concept of 'The Nine,' a group linked to a seance that purportedly involved influential figures and their ties to government experiments and psychic abilities. The discussion also touches on the roles of key players like Ruth Payne, Lee Harvey Oswald, and various CIA operatives, revealing a web of intrigue that intertwines religion, politics, and conspiracy theories. In this conversation, Heidi Luv Unfiltered Rise and Doc Brown delve into the intricate connections between influential figures, conspiracy theories surrounding the JFK assassination, and the political machinations involving the CIA and the Mormon Church. They explore the hidden wealth of prominent individuals, the role of Roy Cohn in political scandals, and the implications of Project Bluebeam in the context of a potential great deception involving aliens.

Professor Michael York rejoins us to discuss the day Wednesday. Sort of. Wednesday is Woden's Day. Odin. But Wednesday is also Miercoles. Mercury. Who is often considered Hermes, who is usually associated with Hermod in the Norse panoply. Or is he? Where does Lucifer come in? Does he? Despite me making this mistake numerous times, it's Venus - not Mercury - that is the "morning star". How about Abraxus? Who? Well, you'll find out.Wednesday spilled into some confusion regarding Saturday, but the answer was recollected post production and is below. Mars became Tyr (Tuesday), Mercury became Odin (Wednesday), Jupiter became Thor (Thursday) and Venus became Frigg (Friday). Saturday came outside the system: The Norse form 'Saturday' means 'hot water day' - which can be translated as 'washing day' or 'washing water day'.It was originally the day that Norsemen took their baths.

In this episode, I talk with the incredible Tobias Churton—renowned scholar of the esoteric and spiritual mysteries—for a mind-opening conversation about his latest book, The Books of Enoch Revealed: The Wicked Watchers, Metatron, and the Fruits of Forbidden Knowledge...Together, we explore the full story of Enoch, the prophet and great-grandfather of Noah, who was said to be taken up into the heavens for direct instruction from the Divine. Tobias unpacks the complex legacy of the Watchers— fallen angels who descended to Earth and unleashed forbidden knowledge that reshaped humanity forever. We also trace the Book of Enoch's journey through time, from its influence in Second Temple Judaism to its esoteric echoes in the Kabbalah and Gnostic traditions.Tobias takes us beyond the surface, bringing clarity to misunderstood prophecies and shedding new light on the apocalyptic visions that have captured imaginations for millennia. We talk about how Enoch's story lived on in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, survived through the Dead Sea Scrolls, and birthed fascinating offshoots like 2 Enoch and 3 Enoch—texts filled with cosmic revelations and hidden wisdom... Get ready to step into the revelations and mysteries of Enoch...

What we say about Jesus matters because in the end, who Jesus is determines whether we're able to really know God or only know about God. For the Arians and the Gnostics, knowing God was impossible; God was too far beyond us, inaccessible to mere mortals. For our Christian ancestors, knowing God was the very essence of faith, and the key was the direct, personal encounter with Jesus. In Jesus, God Himself entered our reality and sought us out — so, to know Jesus was (and is) to know God.   Readings at this Mass: 1 Sam 26:2, 7–9, 12–13, 22–23  |  1 Cor 15:45–49  |  Lk 6:27–38

Join us as we explore the intriguing doctrine of Gnosticism, one of the early church's most significant heresies, and its impact on Christianity today. Discover how Gnostics viewed matter as evil and sought salvation through mystical knowledge, challenging traditional beliefs about the body and spirit. We'll also reflect on contemporary parallels that may exist within modern church practices and culture.Mentioned in this episode: ♟️ Church History Matching Game: https://phyliciamasonheimer.com/product/hero-card-matching-game/ ————————————————

Somewhere along the way, we lost the old way of seeing, the deep sense that a pattern lies beneath all things. Scientific materialists insist we're nothing more than arrangements of dirt, that our griefs and joys are sparks in a gray swirl of neurons. The Gnostics preach the world is a wicked trap, that matter is a cage for the spirit. But both stray from the bedrock truth. When God spoke the world into being, He called it good. Not flawed, not worthless—good. Yet, wandering in the world we see now—hard ground, hungry eyes, a planet bristling with harm—we wonder what went astray.

The Garden welcomes back Professor Richard Spence to do deeper dives into some of the well known historic occult groups. From the Essenes to the Freemasons, we touch on many well known groups or schools of thought, and try to draw throughlines where possible. We also discuss some popular media and a bit of fact checking. Is there a direct connection between the Cathars and Templars? What was the relationship between the Templars and the Assassins? We touch on our old friends, the Gnostics. Is Mary connected to the Cult of Isis? What did Dan Brown do and not do? In this almost 2200 year survey, we hit a lot.Professor Spence is a Professor Emeritus from the University of Idaho. He has authored several books and has presented the lectures for several The Great Courses.

Sometimes on this show, big ten-dollar words show up like apotropaic or etiology or deuterocanonical, where, unless you're pretty well-versed in this stuff, you may not know what we're talking about (ok fine- you may not know what Dan M is talking about). This week we're tackling two ten-dollar concepts in one show, so buckle in and bust out twenty bucks! First, we're diving into Gnosticism. We've glanced off this topic several times, but never stopped to talk about what it is. Who were the Gnostics? Where did they come from? What did they believe? Did they know that that's what we would end up calling them? What's with the spelling? Next we're taking a look at a very important manuscript. Codex Sinaiticus--a Latin name for a Greek book about Hebrew people--is a very important manuscript. But why? Where did it come from? What is it? What makes it so vital? ---- For early access to an ad-free version of every episode of Data Over Dogma, exclusive content, and the opportunity to support our work, please consider becoming a monthly patron at: https://www.patreon.com/DataOverDogma      Follow us on the various social media places: https://www.facebook.com/DataOverDogmaPod https://www.twitter.com/data_over_dogma Hey!

In the first and second centuries, a Christian sect found a wide following throughout the Roman world.  They weren't your normal run-of-the-mill Christians. They had beliefs that were nothing like those of any Christian sect today, and they drew the ire of many Christian leaders at the time.  What we knew about them was limited to the writings of their critics until a stunning find in the mid-20th century shed new light on them.

Some argue that Gnostic writings should take precedence over the New Testament Gospels. But those writings are the product of the Gnostics attempt to merge Greek philosophy with Christianity. In this message, Pastor Lutzer asserts that the New Testament documents are the best sources about Jesus and His apostles. What historical evidence supports this?

How would you respond if I told you that, actually, Judas was the only disciple who understood what Jesus was doing on earth? Or that I said that Jesus is unrelated to the God who created the world? Or that the God who created the world is not the same as the one who created humans? From a modern Christian point of view, those are blasphemous statements - some more so than others, yet they are all paraphrasing an early Christian Gnostic text, known as the Gospel of Judas. Join us today on Misquoting Jesus to find out more about this surprising, esoteric gospel, and to learn the secrets of the world according to the Gnostics.

Not too long ago, an ancient document surfaced. Written by Gnostics, the reappearance of the “gospel of Judas,” well-known through “The Da Vinci Code,” has been used to undermine the Christian faith. In this message, Pastor Lutzer debunks two claims in this false gospel. What do we find in this Gnostic document? This month's special offer is available for a donation of any amount.

With this Astro Gnosis presentation I'm making public, April DeConick dives deep into the enigmatic world of Gnosticism, exploring how the ancient Gnostics viewed the starry realms as a battleground between divine sparks and oppressive cosmic rulers known as Archons. She examines how Gnostic beliefs offered a powerful critique of Roman imperial rule, oppressive religious systems, and the nature of suffering. Let's unravel Gnostic cosmology, their rituals of liberation, and the political implications of their spiritual rebellion.

Welcome to Episode 1 of The Pansophers' Podcast! Today, Rudolf talks with esteemed UK author and academic, Tobias Churton. In a wide-ranging conversation, the men discuss the Search for Self as well as Wisdom in the context of history.  Particular focus is brought to aspects of Freemasonic and Rosicrucian history.  Tobias defines his experience of “Pansophia”- the mind of God, Wisdom, and the interrelatedness of knowledge.  This conversation unfolds through the knowledge that “this life is only a beginning”, the distractions of political ideology and institutional religion; and the Rosicrucian paradox of being not of this  World yet engaged and seed-bearing within it.  We explore a move towards freedom of “Science” as a democratic access to “Knowledge,” and “Art” as “Magic”. Tobias outlines a vision that sees dialogues and colloquium find energy over our monologue-culture, and a move from over-specialization of knowledge into a more dynamic, holistic approach to study.  In passing, he notes the “cosmic” view most experts attribute to their knowledge, yet without the benefit of cross-disciplinary application.

Are you part of the neo-Covenantal tradition or the neo-Baptist tradition when it comes to law and politics? Today, David defines these two groups based on 30 years of dealing with Christians in the legal and policy spheres. In this episode, though, he explains why the neo-Covenanters are Gnostics and would have Calvin and Kuyper rolling in their graves.
