The Whole Rabbit
Dark City: A Gnostic Allegory

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! This week's episode sees us dust off the old VHS copy of the late 90s gnostic science fiction classic “Dark City,” written and directed by Alex Proyas. This is what your mom was talking about when you told her you wanted to see ‘The Matrix' but she said “No, we have it at home,” with some scenes almost matching shot for shot visually. Perhaps more remarkably is how Dark City tackles similar themes on loan from ancient gnostic philosophy but does so in a way faithful to its science fiction roots in German expressionism where it finds inspiration in the fertile imaginations of Fritz Lang and Albin Grau, the creators of Metropolis and Nosferatu respectively. The result is a film which beneath its slick, noir surface is a thoughtful meditation on the dark side of spirituality, evolution and the destiny of the human soul. In the first half of the show we discuss some of the occult roots of the science fiction genre itself and what it has to do with the Aeon of Horus championed by Aleister Crowley before cutting into the dense symbolism in the film's opening using the Tarot as our guide. In the extended show we visit the abode of Netzach and go deeper into Greek and even Hindu mythology to unpack some of the symbolism used in the film before discussing the overlap between The Strangers and their shadowy, real-life counterparts who manipulate our destiny from the circles beyond time. We hope you brought your Kabbalah glasses because we'll be talking shop in this one. Thank you and enjoy the show! In this week's episode we discuss:The Occult Roots of Science FictionImmanentizing the Eschaton German ExpressionismThe Black BrotherhoodThe Allegory of the Cave The Hotel, MalkuthMannequins of Hod The Automat Scene Mercury / Hermes Gematria In the extended show available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we go quite a bit further and discuss: Maia, Eldest Sister of the PleiadesVenus PudicaThe Sacred DeerThe Scales of LibraEmma AphroditeAdonism and Luciferianism The StrangersBrotherhood of Saturn and FOGCThe Tepaphon and GOTOSMen in BlackGanymede and AquariusPrometheus and Icarus The Hand of GodThe Wheel Where to find The Whole Rabbit:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0AnJZhmPzaby04afmEWOAVInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_whole_rabbitX: https://twitter.com/1WholeRabbitOrder Stickers: https://www.stickermule.com/thewholerabbitOther Merchandise: https://thewholerabbit.myspreadshop.com/Music By Spirit Travel Plaza:https://open.spotify.com/artist/30dW3WB1sYofnow7y3V0YoSources:Tepaphon:https://josephmax.wordpress.com/2010/09/05/tepaphone-the-magickal-death-ray/Steven Flowers, Fraternitas Saturni:https://www.amazon.com/Fraternitas-Saturni-History-Doctrine-Brotherhood/dp/Support the show

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week's episode we plunge deep into the Gospel of Judas, a gnostic manuscript which was lost for centuries, only to be recovered just a short time ago. While it's true meaning is still argued over by scholars, we take on the challenge from an occult perspective and analyze the parts within using wisdom from both the Bible and ancient Egyptian religion. In the free section of the show we discuss the Kabbalistic symbolism behind the thirty pieces of silver that Judas received to sell Jesus out, tell the harrowing tale of how the missing codex was hidden from the public until only recently and the controversial heresies contained within the gospel.  In the extended version of the episode we continue our analysis of the text and see where it lines up with the wisdom in the Gospel of Thomas and begin to unpack the contents as they pertain to Jewish mysticism, gnostic cosmology and even a hint of modern day conspiracy theory. What exactly does it mean when Jesus elevates Judas above the other disciples and does that mean Judas really gets a happy ending to his story or not? Stay tuned in to find out, thank you and enjoy the show! In this week's episode we discuss:The Favorite DiscipleHistory of the TextZecharia and the 30 Pieces of SilverIrenaeus: Against Heresies The Gospel of MaryReading the Text Jewish and Egyptian Bread Rituals…The Disciples Become AngryAgainst MartyrdomThe Barbello The Holy Generation?In the extended episode available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we go much further and discuss:The Description of the End Times No Rituals!

On this week's episode we're joined by Iskandar, known widely on the internet as Alawite Anon, the same fellow who's anonymous post on 4chan went viral a few weeks ago and found itself as the topic of discussion for our episode dubiously labeled “Interview with a Gnostic Muslim.” As fate would have it, he tracked us down and instead of punching us in the nose (which was probably warranted) he offered himself as a subject of interview about his ancient faith and the occult tenants contained therein. In the free section of the show we ask Iskandar about the origins of his people and faith, the esoteric aspects of his practice, the initiatory ordeals and structure of the inner order, its little known connection to the Knights Templar, the rejection of holiness, what occult materials they study and if women may participate or not. While this covers quite a mountain of interesting information, we go quite a bit deeper in the extended episode as we talk about the magickal mother letters AMS, advanced astral travel, the anatomy of the human soul, the origin of the demiurge, if gods can die, the highest principle, how to deal with demons, the Tree of Life, the archons or Sultans of this reality, the earth gates where they reside as guardians, the adversary or shadow entity, LUCIFER and finally, what cosmically horrific thing happens when we die.

In this week's episode we discuss the gnostic and occult themes found throughout the 90s blockbuster classic; The Truman Show. In the 25 years since the film's theatrical release, The Truman Show has continued to draw new interest and inspired numerous fans to dig through its seemingly never ending list of clever details and hidden content. While much has been said about the film over the years we focus on the occult symbolism and religious motifs which make the Truman Show perhaps the best gnostic themed film ever made. We begin by unraveling the etymology of character names and quickly move into the gnostic, Kabbalistic and Tarot symbolism hiding in plain sight. We discuss Adam Kadmon, The Scarlet Woman and of course The Black Iron Prison. In the extended show we go even deeper into the machinery of Truman's world and find ourselves treading Tarot paths on the Moon, exploring the Canis Major, the lunar-womb-Matrix and how Truman uses the principles of Hermetic Magick to Cross the Abyss, confront God himself and complete The Great Work. Fair warning: we go pretty heavy on the Gnostic, Tarot and Kabbalistic symbolism in this episode. We highly suggest listening to our previous episode if you'd like a crash course on gnosticism, our WTF is Kabbalah episode for that and googling a diagram of the Tree of Life may be helpful in one or two instances.

The original “red pill,” Hypostasis of the Archons outlines the creation of the tyrannical, abortive demiurge, his squad of malicious, thirsty archons  and the truth of what really went down in the Garden of Eden. In the free section of the show we discuss some gnostic history, its place in the early Christian movement, the true identity of the demiurge, The Sophia, the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, the creation of Adam, the serpent loving Eve, Thunder, Perfect Mind and the difference between the spirit and soul from different traditions. In the extended show we also discuss Cain, Abel and their lesser known little brother and sister, Seth and the heroic, fire-breathing Norea who burns down Noah's ark.

The Miracle of the Incarnation

IntroductionToday we are exploring one of the most important topics in human history: the Incarnation of the Word of God. What we celebrate on the Solemnity of the Annunciation and then nine months later on December 25th is the most marvelous of mysterious miracles. What does the Church definitively teach about the Incarnation? What is the Hypostatic Union? Is Jesus half-God and half-man or fully God and fully man? How does that work? What are some of the heresies about Christ?This week's episode will exclusively focus on the fact, nature, and truth of the Incarnation. There is far more to say about the nature of Christ than I can cover in one short episode. So, know that there is more to say, more distinctions to draw, and more fruitful reflection to be had! Next week, in a second part, we will explore the effects of the Incarnation on Christ Himself as well as the teaching of St. Thomas Aquinas on the fittingness of the Incarnation. As well, we will look at the effects of the Incarnation on humanity and the world. In other words, what is the significance of Christmas for you and I personally? The Marvelous Fact of the IncarnationTwo thousand years ago, the Eternal Word of God took on Flesh. In the Nicene Creed, Christians acclaim that: “For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven; by the power of the Holy Spirit, he became incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and was made man.” Belief in the Incarnation of the Son of God, the second Person of the Blessed Trinity, is distinctively Christian. No other religion claims something so seemingly outlandish: that the Almighty God would condescend to share in His creation. Yet, this is the truth. The Incarnation is a marvelous fact, a “unique and altogether singular event (CCC 464)” to borrow the language of the Catechism. This marvelous reality is not simple to understand, nor is it something intuitively grasped by our feeble human intellect. However, there is much that God has revealed to us and unpacked through the guidance of the Holy Spirit over the centuries. The “Incarnation is… the mystery of the wonderful union of the divine and human natures in the one person of the Word (CCC 483).” We will walk through the Divinity of Jesus Christ then His human nature, and then we will be able to talk with some level of clarity on the Hypostatic Union. I am going to try hard to keep this simple without watering anything down. I will also try to define any technical terms that I use. My hope is that this will remain accessible while faithful and accurately explaining the Church's perennial teachings on the nature of the Incarnation. The Divinity of Jesus ChristTwo thousand years ago, Jesus of Nazareth was conceived and born, a real person of history. Historical consensus confirms this reality. We also have the faithful witness of the Old and New Testaments. In the Old Testament, the Psalms, the Wisdom Literature, and the Prophets all speak of the coming Messiah. The Jewish people at the time of Jesus were waiting for the Messiah, an anointed one, who would take the throne of King David and rule as a militaristic warrior to expel the Romans from the Holy Land. In the New Testament, St. Matthew traces the genealogy of Jesus back to Adam and St. Luke traces the genealogy of Jesus back to God Himself. St. Matthew's genealogy also particularly centers Jesus as the expected heir of David's throne. From the perspective of today, we, of course, know that Jesus did not come as a militaristic warrior-king. But, how do we know that Jesus Christ is God, that He is Divine?In the beginning of the Holy Gospel according to St. John, there is no genealogy. Instead, the prologue of John identifies Jesus with the uncreated Word of God through which all things were made: the Logos. The Word of God has become man and pitched His tent among us. He is the Emmanuel foretold by the Prophet Isaiah. The Gospels firmly show that Jesus is not merely another anointed one (messias), He is the Divine Messiah (cf. Mt. 1:23, 2:6; Mk. 1:2, Lk. 7:27). He is God's own Son (cf. Mt. 16:13; Jn. 10:36; Mk. 14:62; Lk. 1:35). And, finally, He is God. “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God… (cf. Jn. 1:1).” There is a phenomenal exploration of the claim to divinity of Jesus in the New Testament by Dr. Brant Pitre entitled: The Case for Jesus: The Biblical and Historical Evidence for Christ. I highly recommend reading that book, if you are interested!The remainder of the New Testament further solidifies the Divinity of Jesus Christ and this fact is upheld by the Fathers of the Church in the first millennium of the Church as well. By a singular miracle, the uncreated Son of God, consubstantial with the Father was made man and dwelt among us. He is, thus, truly and appropriately called a Divine Person. As the Council of Chalcedon in 451 A.D. put it: “We confess that our Lord Jesus Christ is not parted or divided into two persons, but is one and the same only-Begotten Son and Word of God (Chalcedon, Part ii, act. 5).”Modern academics of all stripes will try to poke holes in the doctrine of the divinity of Christ. This makes sense for those who wish to conform God to their viewpoint rather than be conformed by Him. If Jesus Christ is God, then everything He said carries the full authority of Almighty God.The Human Nature of Jesus ChristJesus Christ is fully God. But Jesus Christ is fully man, with flesh supplied from the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary. He is a Divine Person, not a human person. However, He possesses a full and complete human nature: body and soul. As St. Thomas Aquinas puts it: “Although Christ is not the human nature, He has human nature (ST III, q. 10, a. 10, ad. 1).”The human nature of Christ is difficult to wrap our minds around. Some in the history of the Church, for example, have tried to claim that Jesus' human body was an illusion. To this, St. Augustine answers: "If the Body of Christ was a fancy, then Christ erred; and if Christ erred, then He is not the Truth. But Christ is the Truth; hence His Body was not a fancy' (Augustine, QQ. lxxxiii, q. 14; P.L., XL, 14).”Just as we acknowledge wholeheartedly that Jesus Christ is truly God, we also acknowledge that a true human soul animates the truly human body of Jesus. St. Thomas Aquinas explains:“The body is not said to be animated save from its union with the soul. Now the body of Christ is said to be animated, as the Church chants: ‘Taking an animate body, He deigned to be born of a Virgin' [Feast of the Circumcision, Ant. ii, Lauds]. Therefore in Christ there was a union of soul and body (cf. ST III, q. 2, a. 5, s.c.).”The Hypostatic UnionFully God and fully man, Jesus Christ is the God-Man. The central mystery within the mystery of the Incarnation is how the divinity and humanity of Jesus interact. This mystery is called the hypostatic union. Hypostasis is the Greek word for person. St. John Damascene teaches that “In our Lord Jesus Christ we acknowledge two natures, but one hypostasis composed from both (De Fide Orth. iii, 3, 4, 5). The Catholic Encyclopedia explains of this union:“We speak here of no moral union, no union in a figurative sense of the word; but a union that is physical, a union of two substances or natures so as to make One Person, a union which means that God is Man and Man is God in the Person of Jesus Christ (CE).”St. Thomas Aquinas speaks at length about the nature of the hypostatic union, but one insight that I find most helpful is the difference between assumption and uniting. He speaks of assumption as an action - the Word of God assumed human flesh. This is not wrong to say, but St. Thomas prefers the idea of uniting or becoming. The Word of God became flesh or united with the human flesh of Jesus at His first moment of existence. Here we can already run into problems if we are not careful. Did Jesus have a beginning? Yes! Did the Son of God have a beginning? No! He is begotten, not made, eternal and consubstantial with God the Father. As St. Thomas concisely explains: “Whatever has a beginning in time is created. Now this union was not from eternity, but began in time. Therefore the union is something created (ST III, q. 2, a. 7, s.c.).”There is a true union of divinity and humanity in Christ. But we should not think that the divinity of Christ overpowers and consumes the humanity of Christ. Pope Alexander III, in the 12th Century, quipped: “Since Christ is perfect God and perfect man, what foolhardiness have some to dare to affirm that Christ as man is not a substance?" In other words, the metaphysical substance of the human nature of Christ is real and persists, completely and perfectly united to His divine nature.How did this happen? How were the divinity and humanity of Jesus Christ united, in time? It is by God's grace! It is a true miracle, a unique and singular event. St. Thomas Aquinas echoes St. Augustine when he teaches: “Augustine says (De Praed. Sanct. xv): ‘By the same grace every man is made a Christian, from the beginning of his faith, as this man from His beginning was made Christ.' But this man became Christ by union with the Divine Nature. Therefore this union was by grace (ST III, q. 2, a. 10, s.c.).”Thank you for reading Will Wright Catholic. This post is public so feel free to share it.False Natures of the Incarnation - Heresies about ChristThere is no shortage of false teachings about Jesus Christ. Catholic orthodoxy is a thin line which has been guarded as a precious jewel from apostolic times. Without the authentic measure of orthodoxy provided by the Catholic Church, then any opinion would be fair game. In fact, this is unfortunately the state of affairs in many Protestant communions. Before we further clarify what the Catholic Church teaches truly about Jesus Christ, it is helpful to look at some of the heresies about Christ in the early Church. By looking at what the incarnation is not, we can come to a better understanding of what it is. There is a lot to be said about these heretics and heresies, but I am going to try to keep it brief.ArianismArius was a priest in Constantinople in the late 3rd Century and early 4th Century. He believed that God the Father was uniquely God and Christ was subordinate in every way to the Father. He denied the hypostatic union and believed that Christ was the highest of the creatures of God. No small historical issue, there was a time when the majority of the Church's episcopacy was Arian in belief. Suffice it to say, Catholic orthodoxy was victorious. The Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D., led by the great Saint Athanasius formulated the first version of the Nicene Creed that is professed on Sundays. We believe in “one Lord Jesus Christ… true God of true God… Who took Flesh, became Man and suffered.”NestorianismIn 428 A.D. the Patriarch of Constantinople was a man named Nestorius. He called the union of the two natures a mysterious and an inseparable joining, but would admit no unity in the strict sense of the word to be the result of this joining. The union of the two natures, to Nestorius, is not physical but moral. As he put it “the Word indwells in Jesus like as God indwells in the just.” There is not a true, physical and lasting union of divinity and humanity. To explain his view he said that Mary is the Mother of Christ (Christotokos) but not the Mother of God (Theotokos)Nestorius denied the hypostatic union but, unlike Arius before him, did acknowledge the divinity of Christ. He just did not believe that there was a physical union or substantial union of humanity and divinity. So, to Nestorius, when Christ suffered, He did so in His humanity, not in His divinity. On the contrary, Saint Athansius taught (against Apollinarius) that: “They err who say that it is one person who is the Son that suffered, and another person who did not suffer ...; the Flesh became God's own by nature [kata physin], not that it became consubstantial with the Divinity of the Logos as if coeternal therewith, but that it became God's own Flesh by its very nature [kata physin] (Contra Apollinarium, I, 12, in P.G., XXVI, 1113).”The Council of Ephesus in 431 A.D. condemned Nestorius as a heretic and defined that Mary was mother in the flesh of God's Word made Flesh. In this way, it is right to call her Theotokos or God-bearer. The specific anathema against Nestorianism was written by St. Cyril of Alexandria who wrote extensively on the nature of Christ. He said:“If in the one Christ anyone divides the substances, after they have been once united, and joins them together merely by a juxtaposition [mone symapton autas synapheia] of honour or of authority or of power and not rather by a union into a physical unity [synode te kath henosin physiken], let him be accursed (can. iii).”MonophysitismThe Christological heresies, so-called, did not end with the Council of Ephesus. Eutyches took part in that Council of Ephesus and was fiercely opposed to the teachings of Nestorius. However, he went too far in the other direction. He developed the heresy of Monophysitism which held that there was only one Person in Christ (which is true) but he only held one nature in Christ (which is heretical). His denial was that Christ was “consubstantial with us men” as St. Cyril of Alexandria held. Eutyches was stressing Christ's uniqueness, not intended to deny Christ's full manhood. The error of Eutyches is the cautionary tale of not swinging too far in our refutations.This heresy was condemned by the Council of Chalcedon in 451 A.D. It was formulated in this way:Jesus Christ remained, after the Incarnation, “perfect in Divinity and perfect in humanity… consubstantial with the Father according to His Divinity, consubstantial with us according to His humanity… one and the same Christ, the Son, the Lord, the Only begotten, to be acknowledged in two natures not intermingled, not changed, not divisible, not separable (cf. Denzinger, n. 148).”MonothelitismThe next heresy of monothelitism began orthodox enough. The monothelitists defended the union of two natures in one Divine Person. They went off the rails in saying that this Divine Person only had one divine will - they denied the human will of Jesus.Sacred Scripture teaches us that Jesus Christ has a human will. He performed acts of adoration, humility, and reverence. In the Garden of Gethsemane, He prayed to the Father that the “cup” of His sacrifice and death pass without His drinking it. Praying to the Father in this way, He showed His human aversion to death but also the human act of the will of obedience in saying: “not my will, but thine be done.”Monothelitism was condemned by the Third Council of Constantinople in 680 A.D. They defined that in Christ there were two natural wills and two natural activities, the Divine and the human, and that the human will was not at all contrary to the Divine, but rather perfectly subject thereto (cf. Denzinger, n. 291).The Truth About the Incarnation - Catholic TeachingBy way of summary, what then does the Church authentically teach about the nature of Christ and the hypostatic union? Jesus Christ is a Divine Hypostasis - a Divine Person. The unique hypostatic union of Jesus Christ is the complete union of two natures, one divine and one human, in one Divine Person without change, division, separation, or the like. When the Eternal Word of God took Flesh, there was no change in the Word. All the change that took place was in the Holy Flesh of Christ. At the moment of conception, in the womb of the Blessed Mother, through the forcefulness of God's activity, the human soul of Christ was created and the Word became the man that was conceived. Next Time on WWCNext time on WWC, we will explore the second part of this series on the incarnation. Namely, we will be looking at the effects of the Incarnation on Christ Himself, on the world, and on us! We will also look briefly at what St. Thomas Aquinas had to say on the fittingness of the Incarnation. For example, if mankind had not sinned, would God have still become incarnate?! Stop on by next time and see what the Angelic Doctor had to say. The next part of the series should also be a fruitful reflection for us entering into Christmas! Thanks for reading.

FORESEE - His eyes are foresee - be aware of beforehand; predict. The eye is the lamp of the body. If then your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light. Matthew 6:22 For now we see in a mirror indirectly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, just as I have been fully known.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13:12‬ For God, who said “Let light shine out of darkness,” is the one who shined in our hearts to give us the light of the glorious knowledge of God in the face of Christ.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4:6 πρόσωπον prosōpon face; presence - DBL Greek face; person; surface; appearance; presence; in front of - NASB Dictionaries an eye; face; the face the front of the human head - countenance, look 1. the face so far forth as it is the organ of sight, and by it various movements and changes) the index of the inward thoughts and 2 Corfeelings 2. the appearance one presents by his wealth or property, his rank or low condition 1. outward circumstances, external condition 2. used in expressions which denote to regard the person in one's judgment and treatment of men - the outward appearance of inanimate things Prosopon originally meant "face" or "mask" in Greek and derives from Greek theatre, in which actors on a stage wore masks to reveal their character and emotional state to the audience. When a loss of identity occurs due to persona identification, what we are bearing witness to is an individual becoming a vessel for an archetypal figure. As stated previously, archetypes need a vessel to come into conscious view. “For we who are alive are constantly being handed over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible in our mortal body.” 2 Corinthians‬ ‭4:11‬ ‭NET‬‬ Hillman stated, “persona here no longer means outward show, a staged performance that hides a true self; it now is the true self in its archetypal enactment” The mask of the persona provides the means to be in relation with the Gods, as it provides power. The act of taking up the mask of the persona and not removing it effectively removes a person's identity (ego). In short, these individuals become more like a vessel as they are providing an image for the archetypal figures to manifest themselves. Hillman, J. (1992). The myth of analysis: Three essays in archetypal psychology. New York, NY: HarperPerennial, 46. The Prosopon of the Hypostasis of Christ - To give a direct account of Leontius' probable meaning in speaking of the “prosopon of the hypostasis of Christ” it is worth keeping all of this in mind. One of the problems that Leontius faces is the conviction that since every nature must be hypostatic, the Chalcedonian claim that there are two natures in Christ seems to indicate that there are two hypostaseis in Christ. Leontius accepts the conviction that natures must be hypostatic but argues that this does not mean that the natures in Christ are hypostaseis. For Leontius, the human nature does not introduce a second hypostasis alongside that of the Word, since it is by the union that the human nature become hypostatic. For Leontius to speak of nature is not to identify a particular hypostasis, since one can speak of the nature as that which is shared by many hypostaseis. On the other hand, to speak of hypostasis means to speak of a really existing thing, and as such one includes its nature, both the nature that it shares with others (physis), and those individuating features that belong that that hypostasis alone. In Christ, we are confronted not just by humanity in general, but also by the particular humanity of Jesus of Nazareth. Decrease time over target: PayPal.me/mzhop or Venmo @clastronaut

He is the sole expression of the glory of God [the Light-being, the out-raying or radiance of the divine], and He is the perfect imprint and very image of [God's] nature, upholding and maintaining and guiding and propelling the universe by His mighty word of power. When He had by offering Himself accomplished our cleansing of sins and riddance of guilt, He sat down at the right hand of the divine Majesty on high. Hebrews 1:3 The metaphor of imprinting does not take us in a different direction from that of effulgence, but reinforces it by speaking of the Son as the exact representation of the divine essence. The Son shares the essence of God, but does so in a unique way. He is the repetition of God through a distinct agency. To express this requires language that expresses both sameness of essence (radiance) and distinction of person (exact imprint), without the latter opposing the former. Long, D. Stephen. Hebrews.

An unusual solo show this week. We have an introduction from me and then it's a recording of a classic Michael Parenti lecture, Conspiracy and Class Power, which you can also find in the show notes. Speaking of show notes, they're rather extensive everywhere but YouTube, and best found at the actual post page. Show Notes Firstly, the rest of the 'series' in which this show would reside, were it a post. How you play is what you win. Hypostasis of the farmers. The nightingale of eternal meaning. Alien invasion as self care. Medicine songs. Talking The Invisibles. Secondly, the Parenti lecture, its inspiring TMBS clip, and a bit from Ben Burgis on populism and liberal scolds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jsua0m6GreY&feature=emb_title   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8OeVaydBJQ   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EEP7hsrC58   Next is a quotation from the blog draft that won't see the light of day, followed by links to what I consider three very useful posts from the rebooted archonology series a few years back: Jupiter is still in Capricorn. One way of being with this is to see him as a teacher of hard truths. The other side of that is that you are or should be learning just what it takes to run the world. To administer the physical plane. To see how the sausages are made and what they are made of. The great teacher has shined a light and I worry that some of you shut your eyes. Open them, please. This is very serious now. If you would like to understand who is 'behind' this in large part. Call them the Anglo-Americans, the Atlanticists, the dollar syndicate, Mr Global. Who cares? It is the interlocked shelob's web of supranational organisations and think tanks that evolved out of the Round Table model. Call them the Davos class. Then you need to understand both how and why they run the world the way they do. And that's here with Miles Copeland. And finally -doing triple duty as a Rune Soup recommendation by also being a limited hangout, and written by a shaman- you need to see how the syndicate uses economics to have entire countries do what they say. (This is the system Russia and China are doing their best to extricate themselves from for obvious reasons.) Next is Charles Eisenstein, and an excerpt from his conspiracy essay. “Conspiracy theory” has become a term of political invective, used to disparage any view that diverges from mainstream beliefs. Basically, any critique of dominant institutions can be smeared as conspiracy theory. There is actually a perverse truth in this smear. For example, if you believe that glyphosate is actually dangerous to human and ecological health, then you also must, if you are logical, believe that Bayer/Monsanto is suppressing or ignoring that information, and you must also believe that the government, media, and scientific establishment are to some extent complicit in that suppression. Otherwise, why are we not seeing NYT headlines like, “Monsanto whistleblower reveals dangers of glyphosate”? Information suppression can happen without deliberate orchestration. Throughout history, hysterias, intellectual fads, and mass delusions have come and gone spontaneously. This is more mysterious than the easy conspiracy explanation admits. An unconscious coordination of action can look very much like a conspiracy, and the boundary between the two is blurry. Consider the weapons of mass destruction (WMD) fraud that served as a pretext for the invasion of Iraq. Maybe there were people in the Bush administration who knowingly used the phony “yellowcake” document to call for war; maybe they just wanted very much to believe the documents were genuine, or maybe they thought, “Well, this is questionable but Saddam must have WMD, and even if he doesn’t, he wants them, so the document is basically true…” People easily believe what serves their interests or fits their existing worldview. In a similar vein, the media needed little encouragement to start beating the war drums. They knew what to do already, without having to receive instructions. I don’t think very many journalists actually believed the WMD lie. They pretended to believe, because subconsciously, they knew that was the establishment narrative. That was what would get them recognized as serious journalists. That’s what would give them access to power. That is what would allow them to keep their jobs and advance their careers. But most of all, they pretended to believe because everyone else was pretending to believe. It is hard to go against the zeitgeist. The British scientist Rupert Sheldrake told me about a talk he gave to a group of scientists who were working on animal behaviour at a prestigious British University. He was talking about his research on dogs that know when their owners are coming home, and other telepathic phenomena in domestic animals. The talk was received with a kind of polite silence. But in the following tea break all six of the senior scientists who were present at the seminar came to him one by one, and when they were sure that no one else was listening told him they had had experiences of this kind with their own animals, or that they were convinced that telepathy is a real phenomenon, but that they could not talk to their colleagues about this because they were all so straight. When Sheldrake realised that all six had told him much the same thing, he said to them, “Why don’t you guys come out? You’d all have so much more fun!” He says that when he gives a talk at a scientific institution there are nearly always scientists who approach him afterwards telling him they’ve had personal experiences that convince them of the reality of psychic or spiritual phenomena but that they can’t discuss them with their colleagues for fear of being thought weird. This is not a deliberate conspiracy to suppress psychic phenomena. Those six scientists didn’t convene beforehand and decide to suppress information they knew was real. They keep their opinions to themselves because of the norms of their subculture, the basic paradigms that delimit science, and the very real threat of damage to their careers. The persecution and calumny directed at Sheldrake himself demonstrates what happens to a scientist who is outspoken in his dissent from official scientific reality. So, we might still say that a conspiracy is afoot, but its perpetrator is a culture, a system, and a story.

Fr. Dcn. Dr. Ananias Sorem (his channel is here) joins me to discuss the important issue of key Greek and Hellenic terms and how the fathers transformed them. Orthodoxy has the freedom to utilize philosophic ideas and terms without being boxed into any strict philosophical system – be it Platonism, Aristotelianism or later philosophical insights. Truth is one and wherever truth is, it is ultimately in reference to the Logos Himself. This will be a basic glossary of sometimes foreign and consuming terms that at times are from the realm of philosophy and can be a stumbling block. We will cover terms like Arche, Monarchia, Hypostasis, Ousia, Enhypostatized, telos, logoi, Logos, and many more which are necessary for attaining the nuance of an Orthodox phronema without falling into the mistake of Hellenism and the word-concept fallacy.

What if the story has been mis-represented? This changes everything... In trying to understand who we are as humans, we have to take some time to explore the various creation myths around the world. Traditionally, the Bible teaches that Adam and Eve were tempted by the Serpent in the Garden of Eden. They ate from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, and were cast out of the Garden. But there are some inconsistencies within this story that we explore in this podcast. According to the Gnostic texts, The Nature of the Rulers, also known as The Hypostasis of the Archons, Adam and Eve were created by the Archons. They were placed in a state of ignorance, and it was the Serpent who liberated them through leading them to eat of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Before we dismiss a story like this, it's interesting to note that these texts are over 1,500 years old and have not been altered over history since they weren't discovered until 1945. It is also believed that these texts were written and hidden at a time when Gnostics were being persecuted and killed for their beliefs. Again, we have to ask why... The world is not what it seems, and understanding the mystery behind these stories may shed some light into the mystery that is humanity...

Explore the Nicene Creed (325 AD). Consider the use of the word “begotten”. The 4th Century was marked by controversies, dialogues, and disputes. There was also a sharpening of exegetical strategies and a clearer understanding of the nature of the Trinity and nature of Jesus Christ. What is our own understanding of Jesus and how does it relate to the 4th Century conversation? Who were the important people and for what reasons? Where was the impact of the Council of Nicaea felt? When did the instances occur - when did the sequences occur? Why does it matter to our faith and witness? How would we summarize the events of the 4th Century and their impact? Consider a reassessment of the traditional narrative of Nicaea. What was Nicaea really about? The traditional view is too simplistic. The focus of the debate was on the generation of the Son or Logos from the Father and the grammar used to talk about the Divine. The nature of Jesus is soteriologically relevant. Are the Father and Son distinct and if so, are they two separate beings? Come to understand that the 4th Century is extremely complex. We need to keep history and theology together. There are three overlapping lenses through which we can view Nicaea. First, it can be seen through the legacy of Origen. Origen had influence on both sides of the debate but no one fully accepted his view. Origen believed that the Son was the product of the Father’s will. A second lens to view Nicaea is through theology and reading of Scripture. The two main strategies were the grammatical-literal and the allegorical-figurative. The third lens is through the Arius-Alexander debate. Ousia is the essence or being – a category. Hypostasis is a circumscribed individual reality or broadly as a nontechnical term meaning existence or nature. In review, the controversy in Alexandria between Arius and Alexander was in 318 AD. Alexander believed that the Son was between created and uncreated yet the Son was always with the Father and eternally generated. Arius held that the Son existed by the Father’s will “before all ages” but was not an eternal existence. He also held that the Son does not share in the Father’s eternal existence or being. For Arius, Christ is the Son only by adoption and holds a mediatory place between man and God. He held that the Holy Spirit was the first of the creatures from the Logos. His was an overly rational theological approach. Constantine urged reconciliation and wrote a letter to Arius and Alexander. Constantine felt it was “futile irrelevance” which showed his inability to recognize that it was a significant theological issue.

Origen’s theological views are greatly influenced by his exegesis and textual criticism. His book, On First Principles, lays out the views of his theology and hermeneutics. He believed that Scripture and Tradition are the sources of Christian doctrine. The truths were given by apostles but not explained, thus the goal of theology is to discern greater truths. Two elements to Origen’s theology are Tradition and progress and positive and speculative theology. The source of all theology is God the Father. Origen was familiar with the concept of the Trinity. The concept of the Trinity refutes Modalism and Monarchianism. Consider the relationship of the Father and Son. The Son proceeds from the Father by a spiritual act. There was never a time when the Son was not. Origen is the one who coined the term “homoousious”. He felt that “ousia” was not suitable to describe the Divine substance and chose instead to use the term Hypostasis to mean “individual real circumscribed existence”. The Son mirrors the Father and is a product of His will. Explore Origen’s views on Christology and Pneumatology. He viewed the Son and Spirit as intermediaries between the Father and creatures. There is a Creator-creature distinction within theology. Origen had a very hierarchical view of the Trinity. For Origen, Jesus is a “secondary” God and his soul is eternal. Origen spoke of Christ as being “created” although not in the same way as the world. Why use the term “created” at all then? It is a concession to Proverbs 8:22, “The Lord created me as the beginning of his works, before his deeds of long ago.” Colossians 1:15 states, “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation . . .“ Origen’s Trinity was not just three distinct beings – monotheism must be preserved. They are distinct things through pragmata. There is a Fountainhead of Deity. In his eschatology or apokatastasis, Origen believed in the universal restoration of all things. All sinful souls must be purified and good souls will enter paradise. There is no fire or hell. All things including Satan will be saved and purified by Logos. This is where his idea of the pre-existence of souls comes from. His view was closely connected to his eschatology. He believed Christ’s soul was preserved from the Fall and remained in the spiritual realm until the Incarnation. Epiphanius stated, “It is disgraceful that Origen teaches the Son is less than the Father.” Origen was a major Greek writer in the 3rd century. In summary, many see early inter-pretations as reckless, but we must see how their approach differs from ours. Patristic writers saw scripture itself as the subject, not its underlying history. Irenaeus’ Rule of Faith is the central hypothesis of Scripture with the central point being Jesus. Scriptural authority comes from divine inspiration, the Holy Spirit, and apostolic heritage. The apostolic heritage facilitates, not provides, that authority.
