Disguised as Fidelio, a male prison guard, Leonora seeks access to her incarcerated husband's secret cell in the effort of freeing him. Like other metaphors in religion, the gnostic mythos describes the descent of divine light into the prison of the mind, seeking to liberate and elevate Pistis Sophia (the revolutionary consciousness) back to her rightful spiritual hierarchy. In the same manner, Leonora (the "light of Leo," Helios, the Sun, Christ), disguises herself within the world of forms to perform a very sacred mission: the redemption and liberation of her forsaken husband Florestan, wrongly imprisoned due to political rivalry. Don Pizarro, the corrupt politician who governs the prison and Florestan's persecution, symbolizes the gnostic archons, karma, and metaphysical laws that punish and oppress Pistis Sophia's efforts towards self-realization. Discover how our own inner divinity (Leonora, the divine embodiment of the Christic light) makes super-efforts to orchestrate the greatest work in the cosmos: the liberation of the psyche from suffering and the complete development of our human potential.
Fabrizio Guarducci"Il richiamo del sentimento"Lorenzo de' Medici Presswww.lorenzodemedicipress.itElvira, una studiosa, inizia una complessa ricerca sul movimento religioso dei Catari e sull'attualità del loro messaggio spirituale.Vuole scrivere un nuovo libro sull'argomento Il suo percorso procede con importanti testi antichissimi di religione, partendo dalle pagine del trattato gnostico Kephalaia: tra questi un raro e dimenticato vangelo gnostico – la Pistis Sophia – in cui Gesù spiega agli apostoli cosa accade all'uomo dopo la morte e che cosa c'è nell'aldilà. Secondo la Pistis Sophia, Gesù dopo la morte rimase 11 anni con gli Apostoli per spiegare loro questi segreti e la via verso il raggiungimento del divino.Elvira sente di compiere, al tempo stesso, anche un viaggio dentro il proprio animo. Ma sarà un'inattesa presenza, incontrata casualmente, a trasportarla verso un modo completamente diverso di considerare il sentimento, l'animo umano e la ricerca del vero significato del divino.La sua ricerca è diventata un'altra cosa e il suo libro è davvero il punto di arrivo per una nuova scoperta del sentimento.Fabrizio Guarducci si è formato nella concezione sociale e umana di Giorgio La Pira.

Beethoven's only opera encodes tremendous metaphysical truths gleaned from his own inner spiritual development on the initiatic path. What is more remarkable is that he conveyed gnostic principles on the demiurge, archons, aeons, and redemption without physical access to classical gnostic texts. This is because as a master of meditation, he was privy to knowledge inaccessible to the mind, personality, or senses, and through his psychological work, was able to witness, live, and portray first hand the very root source of such knowledge informing the conception and documentation of the Gnostic Gospels and Nag Hammadi corpus. He composed Fidelio not only to musically uplift humanity's level of being, but also to teach the realities of divine law (karma), atonement, and the esoteric spiritual work for candidates of the mysteries. Such wisdom is elucidated by Samael Aun Weor's rich commentary on The Gnostic Bible: The Pistis Sophia Unveiled, which serves as the basis for future viewings of Beethoven's masterpiece. Discover the deep insights of this truly gnostic opera, and how a prophet of music demonstrated true love for divinity and the overpowering realities of Pistis Sophia's salvation (the penitent soul who longs for and aspires to the light).
Crowley calls the Pistis Sophia ‘an admirable introduction to the study of Gnosticism', and includes it in the Curriculum of A∴A∴. But how does Gnosticism relate to Thelema? We'll delve into the first half of this early-Christian text to see if we can find connections, and contextualize magical ideas about Gnosticism before the discovery of the Nag Hammadi library.
Nel 1895, Émile Amélineau pubblicava la prima traduzione in francese dei manoscritti di Pistis Sophia o Libro del Salvatore, il primo Vangelo gnostico mai rinvenuto, scritto in lingua copta probabilmente nel III secolo. Tre anni dopo, Gérard Encausse - meglio noto col suo pseudonimo Papus - pubblicò un'analisi di tale prima traduzione di Pistis Sophia, indagata dal punto di vista esoterico. Il testo di Papus è un utile strumento per muoversi nella complessa struttura di Pistis Sophia, mettendone a disposizione un riassunto agevolmente fruibile, ma offre anche una chiave di lettura profonda del sodalizio tra Gesù e i suoi discepoli, in cui l'autore intravede una nuova via di salvezza: "La prima via di salvezza è la ripresa dell'anima fuori dall'attrazione della carne, attraverso la santità della vita terrestre e la carità totale. La seconda via, che è complementare, è la creazione dell'essere totale attraverso la fusione delle anime sorelle".
Being Subversive Isn't As Much Fun As It LooksIn 30 parts, By FinalStand. Listen to the podcast at Explicit Novels. “Friends stand by you through the struggles your enemies create” "You are depraved and despicable," Mhain seethed."I get that a lot; now get out," I growled back, "because I have a thousand other bitches who are, scratch that, 999 other bitches, Doctor Kennedy is growing on me; the rest I'm not so sure about, who are making my life miserable.""Don't get your hopes up, Mr. Braxton," Doctor Kennedy warned me. "I'm happily married.""Cool," I responded. "I hope to be like that one day.""Happily married?" Virginia inquired."No; a female law professor at an all-girls school," I grinned. "It sounds like a real cool job.""Feel free to hit him," Dana interrupted. "I swear that is the only way to get him to learn anything; or the only way we will discuss at this moment." Ah, sex. I thought my life had gone on a bit too long without the mention of sex. "It is also a fun form of stress relief."A painful blow rocked my shoulder and nearly sent me sprawling."You are right," Gabrielle noted clinically. "I feel better." Fuck, she hits hard. I look at her and try not to get pissed off and say something stupid. She makes my life difficult but my existence at FFU makes her life far too interesting as well. Whack! Someone hit me with a briefcase."I have to agree," Doctor Kennedy confirmed. "It has a therapeutic quality to it.""Bloody hell," I blurt out."Everyone, please stop physically abusing Zane," Ms. Goodswell snapped. "He's a student, for Pete's sake. He's not subject to corporal punishment.""Virginia, have you ever punched or slapped Zane?" Dana teased. "Give it a try before dismissing it out of hand.""He likes spanking," Barbie Lynn beamed happiness as she skipped by on her way to my/our bedroom. Technically, it is mine, Vivian's, Barbie Lynn's, Rio's, and Mercy's, plus whoever is feeling lonely on a given night. As for the spanking, I'm more of a giver than a receiver, but I doubt explaining that right now would be appropriate."Uhmm, okay, I think that is my cue to leave," Virginia piped up."I have rounds to make," Gabrielle added."I'm going home to my family," Doctor Kennedy headed out."I'm going to stay here, kick back, and watch some Pay-per-view," Dana grinned."What are you going to watch?" Hudson inquired."BBC America has this show called Copper that I've been meaning to catch," Dana informed her."Mind if I watch an episode with you?" Hudson asked."Sure, knock yourself out. You can pick the second show," Dana yawned. "It's only Zane's money after all." The rest of my guests filed out and I retired to the showers and then to my room. The day's stress revealed itself as the women curled into bed calmly and soon were cuddled together, including the odd ones out.On the far side we had the rather unusual appearance of Valarie. Next to her was Rio, who had her arms wrapped around Mercy. Mercy was snuggled against Barbie Lynn who held the middle spot. I was on my side, face-to-face with Barbie Lynn. After a few minutes, Vivian came to bed, wedged up against my back, and put an arm over me. I was in close proximity to several beautiful women but as long as no one doused the room with an aphrodisiac, we'd do just fine."Zane," Barbie Lynn whispered, "my vibrator burned out this morning, and I'm terribly horny."Oh, fuck! Barbie Lynn gazing down at me, I'm not sure another guy should ever see this because it could break one's heart to see it once and never again. She's built a faint sheen of sweat on her body already and she's looking at me with a definite Zen to fuck. My cock is cocooned deep inside her rectum, rubbing inside as she rotates forward on her hips.The distant, dreamy look in her eyes flashes to alertness as she catches me looking at her; 'hi' she whispers. I nod and smile so she inclines into me so that we can start kissing. She leads in with her tongue along my lips. I touch the tip of her tongue with my own, snaking inside her mouth before we are done. She starts murmuring, deepens our kiss, and begins rubbing my nipples."Vivian?" Valarie says softly. She snuck around the bed to settle behind my guardian."Yes?" Vivian replies. She is on her side watching Barbie Lynn and I."I, umm,” Valarie moans.Out of the corner of my eye I catch it as Val's hand brushes Vivian's hair off her neck and her lips start suckling on the exposed flesh. Vivian closes her eyes briefly but doesn't move Valarie away."Oh, Baby," Barbie pants with barely an inch separating our lips, "I know I say this often but I so love this. You tear me up inside and I want it so bad all the time, it scares me.""Vaginal sex with you scares me," I tease back."Will it be even better?" she draws in an even deeper, breast flaunting breath."You never know, but you are so damn good at everything else, I can't imagine you doing anything but haunting my dreams forever," I say, as I coax her movements with my hands on her hips, flanks, and thighs. Barbie shows her appreciation by running her hand through my bangs and pushing my hair back so that she can cover my forehead, eyes and nose with kisses."You like that romantic shit, don't you, Mercy-slut?" Rio grumbles playfully from the other side."Yes," Mercy whispers. I know Rio well enough to know that when a spiteful reply isn't immediately forthcoming, she's dusting off (and unchaining) her Better Angel. Mercy is looking at Barbie Lynn and me, her head facing sideways as she lies on her back. Rio crawls on top of Mercy, prompting Mercy to open her legs, and locks her hands over her head to gaze down on her."Your skin is so pure, your hair so black, and your eyes so full of passion, it breaks my heart to look at you, My Little Whore," Rio begins. She leans in and bites Mercy's earlobe, causing her victim to moan and buck up slightly. "Mercy, you give and give, making me so hot inside that I want to grab you and never let go.""Really?" Mercy gasps. "I, ""Don't get used to this," Rio growls with famished sexual enticement. "But, well, I want you to know that I hope all our children look just like you." Poor Rio was running out of material. It was terribly uncomfortable for me to show her where to go. I ran my hands over Barbie's body, which is an absolute torture I am forced to struggle through repeatedly.I start by massaging Barbie Lynn's tits, rotating three fingers over the nipples before rolling up the whole meaty breast in my palms. Barbie Lynn starts pushing back on my cock harder and grunting to the rhythm."Damn, Mercy," Rio teases, "I love these titties." She accentuates by sucking the top third of one breast into her mouth and twirling her tongue around it.Vivian gives a visible shiver from her side of the bed; Valarie has done something to her beneath the sheets to turn her on. In the interim while I have been watching Rio and Mercy, Valarie has been working over Vivian, temple to shoulder, with her lips. Now I see Vivian pulling up her left (upper) leg until it is resting snugly against my upper ribs, giving someone easier access to her snatch.She's also put her left arm behind her back between herself and Valarie. I'm starting to wonder if there is something in the air filters of my place, some undiscovered aphrodisiac mold, fungi, or spores that turns nice, virtuous girls into promiscuous bi-sexual vixens. To the best of my knowledge and belief, neither Valarie nor Vivian had the slightest lesbian tendencies before they started coming to my room.I give Barbie Lynn's luscious orbs one final squeeze before migrating my hold down to her ass, giving each cheek a double-slap. Barbie Lynn exhales a huff of ecstatic relief as the impact travels through her. Rio smirks and follows suit, her hand reaching between their thighs, prying Mercy's leg up, up and up until Mercy's knee is nearly at her breast."Your body is the first female form that I've ever lusted after," Rio murmurs as she rubs and pats Mercy's buttocks. "I think I've always wanted you, to taste you on my tongue, your scent strong in my mind and your sweet, sweet ass under my hand." Mercy brings one hand up to stroke Rio's cheek as she gives a strangled sob. No matter how much Mercy fears loving a woman, Rio can chisel that away and get her to love openly and freely.Barbie Lynn bounces up and slams down on me repeatedly as she is coming to the end of her fuse."Zane, Zane, oh yeah," she pants. Vivian chooses this moment to sneak her climax in on the rest of us. I am vaguely aware of her biting her lip, rocking her hips under the sheets, and perspiration beginning to bead on her lower lip."Holy God, Christ, and, my, hot damn, Val, ugh, Oh, God!" Vivian squeals as Valarie vigorously whips her hand in a tight pattern, cloaked from sight but obvious to the knowledgeable. Vivian's clit, lips, and the gateway to her cunt are all supers-stimulated. Valarie cools her down and holds her with enough strength to stop Vivian from rolling face-first into the sheets."Jesus Loves Me!" Barbie Lynn screams one last time. Her body bows, her breasts thrust forward and up, bouncing so deliciously while her thighs tremble in climax. Her anal muscles rippling from sphincter toward my cockhead are grinding me toward orgasm. Finally, she collapses against me, still twitching and fighting for breath.With my arms wrapped around her, I roll us over toward Mercy and Rio, placing Barbie Lynn on her back. Barbie Lynn has her legs pulling back before I can even move to push them back. While I had never fully pulled out, I was nearly there. I shove my hips forward, forcing my cock back in hard, causing Barbie Lynn to grunt, her mouth to gape open, nostril flaring, as her eyes squeeze shut."Oh, hell, yeah," Barbie Lynn gasps, "hammer me!""Oh, fuck," Valarie moans, "I am so lonely." Vivian is still roaming her hands over Valarie's special place, picking up the pace as she's inspired by Barbie Lynn's passion. Rio expresses her perverse nature by going at Mercy slow while the rest of us are going gangbusters."Here is my baby-smooth, tasty friend," Rio says as she kisses Mercy's bald twat. Rio pushes her thighs apart, her leg muscles taught while laying on the bed. Rio's restraint could only last so long. Every lick became more insistent, every nibble elicited a greater yelp, and every hip-thrust by Mercy into Rio's hungry mouth was more desperate.Valarie gives off one long, cavernous growl, then screams in between Vivian's shoulder blades."Damn," Vivian whispers, as a sympathetic orgasmic shiver coasts through her body. I'm pushing up on my knuckles, Barbie Lynn's legs between them as I rise up until my bulbous head is fixed in her sphincter; then I slam down once more. She's rocking her hips up to maximize the depths I reach as she cries out, again and again and again.When I finally let go, I feel a volcano of lust, frustration, and fulfillment exploding out all at once. Barbie Lynn's head sways rapidly side to side as she comes unglued."Zane, Jesus loves me, Jesus Loves Me!" she howls loud enough to shake the glass panels overhead. Those words ringing in my ears are going to haunt me in whatever church I go to."Ugh, ugh, ugh, Love, right there, feels so good," Mercy drags out with shallow breathes."Umm,” Rio gurgles. Mercy has gotten quite wet and visibly aroused. I'm sure Rio has worked a finger or two into the action and in Mercy's ass. Mercy starts bouncing off the sheets as she hisses out the last of her restraint."Mother-fucker-god-damn!" Mercy cries out. Rio growls, slurps, and sucks up Mercy's cunt juice while lapping up and down her slit."That's my baby," Rio's fluid-marked face looks up from between Mercy's legs and smiles. "Was that good for you?" Rio asks? Mercy nods dreamily. "Are you a happy little whore?" Rio teases. Again, Mercy nods with pleasure. "Did you use the 'L' word, Ass-fuck slut?" Rio hardens.This time Mercy realizes her mistake and shudders. She raises her head and looks into Rio's eyes."Yes. I'm sorry, Rio," Mercy mumbles."Sorry isn't going to cut it this time, Bitch," Rio sneers. "Tomorrow morning you are going to get it coming and going, all day long." I am actually aware of what that threat means."Okay," Vivian sighed, with more contentment than annoyance, "we've all cum so let's try and get some sleep.""I haven't gotten off yet," Rio chuckled. I knew what I had to do before someone else volunteered my services."Come here, Rio." I smile to her and extend a hand. "Let me get another taste of my best bro.""I'll clean you up," Barbie Lynn grins up at me, as she wiggles her body around my own so she's on top again. She slithers down my torso, waggles my still mostly hard cock against her lips, then begins to take it into her mouth. Barbie Lynn's tongue licks along my shaft as she gobbles up more of my rod.I expect Rio to come over but Mercy, following along and lying on her belly, her head propped up on her hands and elbows as she watches my blonde angel's skilled fellatio, is a bonus. Rio ends up near my pillow, one hand on my chest and the other resting between Mercy's ass cheeks. Her fingers are definitely sliding in and out of Mercy's cunt. If Mercy is a bit sore, she's smart enough not to complain to her Mistress about it."What do you have in mind, Zane?" Rio catches my gaze."I want your teeth tearing up the mattress with your ass up in the air as I plow you through the headboard," I inform her. I make a focus group assessment of the situation by slipping a finger into her cunt, she's creaming already.For Rio, the greater physicality of the sex, the better it is for her. She'll let me have my foreplay and some good loving, but she goes wild over the raw, brutal act of sex itself."I think you are ready to put that smile on her face," Barbie Lynn taunts Rio as she informs me she's finished. "Come with me," Barbie Lynn turns to Mercy. "My nipples need some attention. Can you do that for me?"After checking with Rio, Mercy gives a hungry look and lick of the lips at Barbie Lynn. Barbie crawls over Mercy to land on her back on the far side. Mercy twirls around and latches on to Barbie Lynn's left breast with such rapidity, it momentarily causes my visage to blur."I want some of that," Valarie suddenly blurts out.She makes her own quick trek around Rio and me as we are still positioning ourselves to come swooping down on Barbie Lynn's right side. The right nipple disappears into our school biker girl's mouth with a decidedly audible smacking of the lips. Val's hand starts to stroke the inside of Barbie Lynn's thigh but Mercy's free hand reaches over and starts tweaking Valarie's closest nipple. Yes, I definitely must check the air filters.Rio resumes her sensually crawl my way and I give her a beguiling look to lure her in. I'm on her in a flash once she's close enough for me to make my move. She screeches like an alley cat but I've got a hand on the back of her head and the other on her hip as I slam her face first into the pillow."Bastard," she screams through the fabric, but she's not following through with the anger."Give it up, Bitch," I snarl back. My cock slides full-throttle all the way into her cunt on the first pass. Her cunt feels like slick, melted butter as I bottom out in her hole. At the same time, I let up on her head a bit."Oh, fucking-A," Rio gasps. "Did someone sneak a gerbil up behind me or is it Needle-cock pretending he's a man?" I give her another powerful slam. "Oh, fuck, stop that.""What? Too much for the bitch whose had it all?" I tease Rio.
It's as-if those who composed the Gospel of John decided to create a hymnbook. This is about the little-known discovery of a collection of early Christian psalms called, The Book of the Odes, written in Syriac-Aramaic, described by scholars as "some of the most beautiful songs of peace and joy that the world possesses." The Odes got mislabeled, misfiled, misunderstood, misplaced somewhere along the way becoming one of those Lost Books of the Bible. Time to explore this would-be book of New Testament psalms and that is finally gaining long overdue recognition and popularity in the 21st Century. This is one of two podcasts I've devoted to this inspiring collection of mystic-poems and music -- The Odes of Solomon -- once viewed as a sacred text by Jewish Christians, Syriac Eastern Christianity, various Gnostic movements -- it's quoted in Pistis Sophia -- and other early Christian writings.

In this week's show, we kick off the Halloween season with a deep-dive on the culturally diverse phenomena of the werewolf, its profoundly ancient origins and how it evolved into the beloved horror trope we enjoy today. In the free section of the show we discuss its ancient association with war, rites of passage, its adoption into pagan mythology, the medieval Christian witch-hunts and the important role it played in secret shamanic folk practices from all over the European continent. In the extended version of the show we discuss the good werewolves or Benandanti as they fought evil witches of Satan, how this deeply confused the inquisitors who recorded it, how medical lycanthropy works, the multiple ancient eye-witness accounts of dog-headed people from around the world, early esoteric Christianity, the cenocephaly of Saint Christopher and what it all has to do with the Egyptian deities Anubis and of course Wepwawet.

night night bitch: esoteric stories for sleep and meditation
This marks part 2 of a 5-part series where I will read aloud chapters from Manly P. Hall's “The Wisdom of the Knowing Ones: Gnosticism, the Key to Esoteric Christianity.” In this episode, we'll be reading chapter one, “Gnostism, The Key to Esoteric Christianity.” What you'll learn: The impact the teachings of Plato and Aristotle had on the early Christian eraThe difference between creationism and emmanationismWhat is the role of Aristotle in anthropology?How the early Christian church viewed the concept of GodHow the Orthodox church struggled to contain and control the early Gnostic movement (and how it embraced parts of both Christianity and paganism)The contributions of certain early Gnostic teachers and theologians in Alexandria (Basilides and Valentinus)The myth of Pistis Sophia and Yaldabaoth as an understanding of the path of esoteric initiationHow the Gnostics used “abraxas,” also known as Gnostic gems as talismans and ways to identify one another during the time the Orthodox Christian church was attempting to persecute them as hereticsPagan morals: how the Orthodox Christian church attempted to make Pagans out to be cruel “heathens,” when it fact, they also lived by their own values and moral code, and how many of them respected the teachings of JesusUnderstanding the esoteric teachings of the early Christian mystery schoolsWhy the Gnostics rejected much of the Old Testament (the Marcionite Christian Church: what they believed and why Marcion was excommunicated) ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Manly Palmer Hall was a Canadian author, lecturer, astrologer, mystic, and Freemason. Over his 70-year career he gave thousands of lectures and published over 150 volumes of written work. Early in his life, he became drawn to mysticism, esoteric philosophies, and their underlying principles. While visiting London in the early 1930s, Hall acquired from an auction agent at Sotheby's, a substantial collection of rare books and manuscripts about alchemy and esotericism. Owing to economic conditions resulting from the Great Depression, he acquired the collection for an insanely low price due to the economic circumstances of the time.

I denna podd firar vi Maria Magdalenas högtidsdag med ett böljande samtal om den alkemiska profetissan speglad i urkunder som bibeln, de gnostiska evangelierna och de gyllene legenderna likväl som egna möten med denna högst levande arketyp av det heligt feminina. Maria Magdalena är en kärlekens och visdomens profetissa och med sin mångfasetterade personlighet väcker hon motstridiga och starka känslor. Hon omtalas både som den heliga bruden och den besudlade skökan. Maria Magdalena är den första aposteln som fick sin heliga mission direkt förmedlad av den uppståndne Kristus och i Pistis Sophia säger han följdriktigt: ”du vars hjärta är riktat upp mot himmelriket mer än alla dina bröder”. Samtidigt är hon marginaliserad och ibland också förnedrad i kyrkans doktrin. I den sjunde alkemipodden söker vi ge en inblick i både den heliga brudens mission och de gåvor hon kan bringa oss alla i dag. För dig som vill fördjupa dig i Maria Magdalenas alkemi och prästinnans väg så startar Sophiatemplet i augusti 2022 åter sin 2-åriga Prästinneutbildning. Se www.sophiatemplet.se för mer information.

We continue the investigation into Justin Martyr's non-use of the New Testament Gospels, with an examination of the Resurrection Appearances of Jesus. Host Chris Palmero analyzes the common themes of these tales in the Canonical and Apocryphal Gospels (including the Gospel of Peter and Gospel of the Hebrews), and the Nag Hammadi and Gnostic writings (including the Pistis Sophia, Gospel of Mary, Apocryphon of James, Wisdom of Jesus Christ, and Dialogue of the Savior).Anyone who listens to this episode of BORN IN THE SECOND CENTURY can learn about why Justin doesn't seem to know anything about the miracles conducted by Jesus; about the earliest sources of the Passion and Resurrection Narratives; about the confusion in the various sources over the number of Disciples who were actually present to witness the Risen Jesus; about their differences regarding who appeared at the Empty Tomb and when; and about Mary Magdalene.Opening reading: the Healing of the Syrophoenician Woman's Daughter (as read in Wycliffe's version of Mark's Gospel) is a repurposed legend about an anonymous smartmouth Jewish Exorcist that may hold the key to the origins of miracle stories in our Canonical Gospels.Support the showPatreon: www.patreon.com/borninthesecondcenturyWebsite: facebook.com/BornInTheSecondCenturyE-mail: secondcenturypodcast@gmail.comMusic: Pompeii Gray on Apple Music, Spotify, SoundCloud

The quotes used in this essay are taken from the Pistis Sophia [edited by Carl Schmidt and translated by Violet Macdermot, published by E. J. Brill, the Netherlands, 1978] otherwise known as the Askew Codex. The following narrative is portrayed as to why Jesus turned the keys of missionary work among the dead, and why he had the gospel preached to those in the spirit world. The answers provided suggest a parallel for all types of work performed for the dead. The justification of Jesus' work for the dead seems sufficient to also explain the necessity for temple work for the dead (as practiced by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) with regard to the concept of eternal lives as outlined in this book.
Today on Sense of Soul Podcast we have with us Gnostic scholar, Daniel Craig Morse, he is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 20 years of practicing depth-oriented psycho-spiritual therapy in Northern California. He's joining us today to share his book “The Divine Spark Within: Excavating the Mysteries of Sophia and the Deep Christ.” In this book, Daniel Craig Morse, presents a long-lost Creation Story featuring the tragic and heroic Goddess Sophia. According to an ancient portrayal of human origins, this heavenly emissary played a key role in seeding into us a Divine Inner Spark. Inspired by a lifelong exploration into the Sophianic mysteries, Morse draws from recently recovered ancient texts to excavate from the 1st-century CE a New Revelation of Wisdom. This revelation originated from a spiritual mystic he identifies as the Deep Christ, whose teachings and influence extend beyond the confines of how Jesus is portrayed in the New Testament.

Is the passage in Revelation 11:7-12 about the 2 witnesses somehow related to the Passion and Resurrection narratives of the gospels? How do you think we can discern if a text critical method produces sound (or sound enough) readings and/or artificially constrains the possible meanings of a text? In the Pistis Sophia, there are references to "five trees," from which five divine beings apparently came (with Melchizedek from the fifth). He also notes that Jesus is made to say in the Gospel of Thomas that "there are five trees in Paradise ... and one who knows them will not taste death." What are they? Doesn't there come a point where the reader interprets the story in a way that the author does not intend, but is still a valid interpretation?
Let's take a journey with Sophia, including the rich mythology of her fall and redemption, to find revelations for both inner and global wholeness. This mission revisits and innovates many of Gnosticism's foundations, such as the Gnostic Jesus, Simon Magus, the Bridal Chamber, and the wrath of Yaldabaoth. We'll also cover several historical Gnostic expressions, from the Pistis Sophia to Knights Templar lore, all to pave the way to finding your Divine Spark.Astral Guest – Dan Morse, author of The Divine Spark Within: Excavating the Mysteries of Sophia and the Deep Christ.This is a partial show.

So for those of you who have been listening for a while you will remember a few Months back I had on Ken Peterson. He wrote a book that shows Mormon Doctrine and Teachings in the Apocrypha. For those who might be new to the podcast I would recommend going back and listening to Episode #20 first. On this episode I have Ken back on and we have a conversation about one book of the Apocrypha in particular and that is the Pistis Sophia. This particular book of the Apocrypha is fascinating. In its pages we see the resurrected Savior teaching the mysteries of the Restored Gospel to his followers in a question answer format. Ken and have a conversation about the books contents that range from Temple Ordinances, to a more detailed account of the three degrees of glory, to the Generations of the Gods, to the Reckoning of time in the Celestial realms, to even the conception of the Savior. Buckle up because this episode is bound to blow your mind as we see Joseph Smith proved right over and over again from a book that is 2,000 years old as it also dives into the mysteries of the Restored Gospel. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dave-kirkenbower/support
In this episode, we explore the ritualistic traditions of the Pistis Sophia the priesthood of the disciples of Jesus.
Do you know if the term "beyond time and space" began to be used to describe God after Einstein's theories were proven? In the Pistis Sophia, there are references to "five trees," from which five divine beings apparently came (with Melchizedek from the fifth). And Jesus is made to say in the Gospel of Thomas that "there are five trees in Paradise ... and one who knows them will not taste death." What might they have been? Gnosticism taught that one gains salvation through knowledge, as opposed to grace, faith, works, etc. But isn't that equally true for any Christian church that requires one to accept a particular creed? You have several times mentioned the similarities between certain gospel stories and novels from the same period. Is there a list of, or source for, said novels? In Strauss's "Life of Jesus Critically Examined it reads "Numerous rabbinical passages were cited to demonstrate, that it was consonant with Jewish notions to consider a son of pious parents to be conceived by the divine co-operation, and that he should be called the son of the Holy Spirit, without its being ever imagined that paternal participation was thereby excluded." Are you aware of these rabbinical passages? Is the story of Cain and Abel about the clash of the farmer archetype and the hunter/gatherer archetype? In Paul: A Critical Life Jerome Murphy-O'Connor, in his discussion of Acts' claim that Paul studied in Jerusalem under Gamaliel, raises John Knox's objections to the claim. What you make of Knox's points, as well as Murphy-O'Connor's comments?
Athéna, la déesse de la sagesse et de la guerre, est la fille de Zeus et la protectrice d'Athènes. C'est l'une des divinités les plus importantes et les plus aimées de la mythologie antique. Son archétype, et de son symbolisme, aurons une influence fondamentale sur la représentation gnostique de la sagesse et de la connaissance. Athéna, déesse civilisatrice, représente la quintessence de la pensée religieuse des anciens Grecs. Minerve, Pistis Sophia, Barbélo, Marianne et tant d'autres sont les lointaines filles de la déesse grecque. Dans cette vidéo, je vous propose de découvrir les origines de la déesse Athéna, les légendes mythologiques qui l'entourent, et son symbolisme aux aspects innombrable. ▶ Soutenir la web TV sur Tipeee : https://fr.tipeee.com/arcana-mysteres-du-monde

Discover why these Gnostic Gospels and other writings got purged from the Western world during the Fourth Century. Celebrate the sages of Judaism, Neoplatonism and Pythagoreanism that helped to give birth to all of these amazing spiritual movements of antiquity such as the Essenes, Sethians, Mandaeans, Ebionites (mentioned in the Book of Acts, the Hebrew Christians lead by James the Just -- "Christianity before Paul"), Valentinians, Manichaeans, Cathars, and other groups that once represented "cousin" schools of spirituality that have much in common with living paths of today such as Kabbalah, Sufism, and Sant Mat. Instead of a wafer-thin New Testament at the end of a very long old covenant, how about a huge treasure-trove of New Testament type literature, including poetry, psalms and odes? Some of the twelve surviving codices of the Nag Hammadi or Gnostic Gospels were organized with a curious New Testament-like format of: 1) gospels, followed by, 2) letters or spiritual discourses, and then, 3) books of revelation (heavenly apocalypses). These revelations consist of the visionary or out-of-body encounters by various Saints soul-traveling through several heavenly realms of consciousness. This almost two thousand year old "time capsule", now known as the Nag Hammadi Library, has set in motion a spiritual revolution. Before the Sufis, in antiquity there were some who were vegetarians, followed a practice of being "initiated into the Mysteries of the Kingdom of the Heavens" by a living teacher, and during their meditation practice repeated several sacred names that correspond to various inner regions. Their goal was to spiritually ascend through several heavenly realms in order to return to the timeless Supreme Being in the highest realm. Some called this Being "The Nameless One". There are references to inner Light and Sound. There are also references to a Kal Niranjan type being, a false god or negative power called "the Demiurge". Several Sant Mat authors have written books about the Gnostics and the parallels between Gnosticism and the Path of the Masters. One of the Gnostic scriptures called "Pistis Sophia" contains many beautiful hymns and prayers. Though reincarnation is mentioned as a reality, the goal of salvation was to liberate souls from material captivity, reincarnation, the wheel of fate, and go back to God again. Souls were given the ability to mystically travel via the Holy Stream of Light. In Pistis Sophia (the Book of Faith-Wisdom) Christ says, "Seek, all of you, after the Light, so that the power of your soul that is in you may live. Do not cease seeking day or night until you find the mysteries of the Kingdom of Light, which will purify you, make you into pure Light and lead you into the Kingdom of the Light."

Many have heard that there were these Gnostic Christians who wrote some other scriptures long ago. So what else do we know about them, their goals, hopes and dreams, spiritual practices, their way of entering into the experience of the Divine Realms of the Heavens? And also today... the world of podcasting, websites, and television has been fairly good about reporting on a few recent discoveries such as Nag Hammadi and the Gospel of Judas, but these very same sources typically have not been reliable at all about writings that were unearthed several decades ago or more, long before the age of the Internet and cable TV! If some of those texts, such as the Mandaean Ginza Rabba, Pistis Sophia, or the Book of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, were unearthed last Tuesday, it would be really big news. But rather, if they've been sitting on the shelves of libraries for decades, maybe even centuries, there's no news at all and they are almost completely ignored. For those who take the time to dig deeper, there are far more Gnostic Gospels and other sacred texts available and already translated into English than most realize. After the exploration of the Ascension of the Soul process of Gnostic spirituality, we'll delve into some of the forgotten gospels of early Christianity, including from various sects associated with Gnosticism. "He who possesses the Five Seals of these particular Names has stripped off the garments of ignorance [the material body and subtle bodies: astral, causal, etc...] and put on a shining Light." (Trimorphic Protennoia) "Blessed is he who has crucified the world and who has not allowed the world to crucify him." (from an unrecognized dialogues gospel embedded in the Bruce Codex) "What wonders has Your love effected! When someone is still alive he has left this world: though his bodily condition remains with the world's bodily condition, yet his spirit has been raised up towards You, so that for a period of time he is where he knows not, being totally raptured and drawn towards You." (John of Apamea)
Pistis Sophia Versão gnóstica do mistério da Encarnação Jesus continuou seu discurso dizendo: Aconteceu que, por ordem do primeiro mistério, olhei para o mundo dos homens e encontrei Maria, que se chama minha mãe segundo o corpo material. Falei com ela através da imagem de Gabriel e quando ela se virou para mim, fiz entrar dentro dela a primeira força que tirei de Barbelo, ou seja, aquele corpo que eu carregava no alto. E em vez da alma, coloquei nela a força que tirei do grande Sabaoth, o bom, que está no lugar dos justos, enquanto em vez disso introduzi nas esferas dos arcontes as doze forças dos doze salvadores do tesouro da luz.

I denna podd firar vi Maria Magdalenas högtidsdag med ett böljande samtal om den alkemiska profetissan speglad i urkunder som bibeln, de gnostiska evangelierna och de gyllene legenderna likväl som egna möten med denna högst levande arketyp av det heligt feminina. Maria Magdalena är en kärlekens och visdomens profetissa och med sin mångfasetterade personlighet väcker hon motstridiga och starka känslor. Hon omtalas både som den heliga bruden och den besudlade skökan. Maria Magdalena är den första aposteln som fick sin heliga mission direkt förmedlad av den uppståndne Kristus och i Pistis Sophia säger han följdriktigt: ”du vars hjärta är riktat upp mot himmelriket mer än alla dina bröder”. Samtidigt är hon marginaliserad och ibland också förnedrad i kyrkans doktrin. I den sjunde alkemipodden söker vi ge en inblick i både den heliga brudens mission och de gåvor hon kan bringa oss alla i dag. För dig som vill fördjupa dig i Maria Magdalenas alkemi och prästinnans väg så startar Sophiatemplet i augusti 2022 åter sin 2-åriga Prästinneutbildning. Se www.sophiatemplet.se för mer information.

Good news, everyone! Not only is Skullbeard back, but this is the last of the Pistis Sophia!
Tales from working the Democratic Party booth at this weekend's street festival and a solo reading of the Pistis Sophia.
To develop and expand compassion, the basis of liberation from suffering, one needs to know how to preserve and harness the substance of compassion (שמן, bodhichitta). This has three essential practical actions: Transmutation Transformation Transubstantiation These three acts develop the fire (ש) of compassion. "If someone is near me [Christ], he will burn. I [Christ] am the fire (ש) that blazes. Whoever is near me is near fire; whoever is far from me is far from life." —Gospel of the Savior "Now therefore if any one hath received the mysteries of Baptism (Transmutation), those mysteries become a great fire (ש), exceeding strong, and wise, so as to burn up all the sins: and the Fire [ש] entereth into the soul secretly, so that it may consume within it all the sins which the counterfeit of the spirit hath printed there." —Pistis Sophia

He did deny his Christian upbringing but instead discovered the deeper meaning of Jesus' own teaching.Dr. Chandler's discerning scholarly detective work brings to light an aspect of Jesus' teaching that has been hidden for nearly two thousand years.He found that the true ground of validity of Jesus' teaching is the universal experience of eternal pure consciousness Jesus gave his disciples.Paul helped bring faith to millions of people by focusing on the “sign and miracle” of the risen Christ: but the true meaning and power of Jesus' teaching is that we too can experience the eternal consciousness that ever knows itself and the Kingdom of Heaven within.IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSSKens Project: The Experience of Pure Consciousness - Collecting exact expressions of pure consciousness from the greatest thinkers of the main steam from the east and west.The Sources of Jesus' Teaching of EnlightenmentTranscending and Experiencing Pure Consciousness What is Enlightenment?An Experience Based Approach vs FaithA major difference between the teaching of Jesus and the teaching of Paul (todays Christianity).Heaven is On Earth.

Learn a powerful prayer for defense against those who would harm you. It is related to the teachings Jesus gave after his resurrection and given in The Pistis Sophia. To understand it, this lecture explains its meaning through the Tree of Life, Hebrew words, and scriptures. "...for personal defense against the tenebrous ones. Sing this mantric chant before going to sleep: Belilin... Belilin... Belilin...Amphora of salvation.I would like to be next to you; Materialism has no power close to me. Belilin... Belilin... Belilin... These mantras must be chanted by placing all our love and sentiment into them. This is how we defend ourselves from the tenebrous ones." —Samael Aun Weor, Logos Mantra Theurgy "You said unto Lord JehovahYou are my goodness,Bel the supreme." —Psalm 16:2 “And Jesus, ― that is Aberamentho, ― said unto his disciples, “Amen, I say unto you: I have brought nothing into the world when I came, save this fire, this water, this wine and this blood. I have brought the water and the fire out of the region of the Light of the lights of the Treasury of the Light; and I have brought the wine and the blood out of the region of Barbelo.” —The Pistis Sophia
Gabriel McCaughry and Helene M. Arts are our guests in podcast episode 187 to discuss the new edition of Pillars: The Scalding of Sapientia from Anathema Publishing Ltd. "Of all the daimons that have plagued or blessed mankind throughout history, our muse, Wisdom, is perhaps the most elusive of all. Known by many names and terms – Gnosis, Sapientia, Pistis Sophia, and LuxFerre among many others – this varied and challenging topic is difficult to discuss using mere semantics; so liquid are Its inherent qualities and so fierce is Its passion!

Gabriel McCaughry and Helene M. Arts are our guests in podcast episode 187 to discuss the new edition of Pillars: The Scalding of Sapientia from Anathema Publishing Ltd. "Of all the daimons that have plagued or blessed mankind throughout history, our muse, Wisdom, is perhaps the most elusive of all. Known by many names and terms – Gnosis, Sapientia, Pistis Sophia, and LuxFerre among many others – this varied and challenging topic is difficult to discuss using mere semantics; so liquid are Its inherent qualities and so fierce is Its passion!

Segunda parte de esta partida de investigación y terror existencial. Nuestros protagonistas se acercan al abismo de la ignorancia, donde la realidad confluye con la percepción, donde la locura anida en forma de versos prohibidos.
Una partida de rol de investigación esotérica jugada con los Rompemitos en el canal de Jesús Rolero. Nuestros detectives tendrán que afrontar el misterio tras el misterio, quizá más de lo que sus mentes puedan soportar, un asesino tras los tejidos de la realidad.

Provides an introduction to the Gnostic work, The Pistis Sophia. Explains the 13 Aeons, the Three Triple Powers, the Three Spaces, the Treasury of the Light, Yaldabaoth, the Self-willed, the Lion faced light power, all in relation to the creation of the universe and the path of initiation. A quote from the lecture: "Amazing as it may sound, our Being has an essential quality of emptiness. That sounds very strange to us, but the Absolute is an abstract space, and that is where our Being comes from. Our Being manifests into forms... if our Being has the capacity to manifest in any form, it must be beyond form. It is empty of form. No form contains it."
Christmas was originally a celebration of the compassion of the Light known as Christ, Apollo, Krishna, Chenresig, and many other names, who comes into the world to save us from ourselves. In gratitude to that Light, and in gratitude to all of you, we offer a bit of spiritual inspiration in the form of a podcast episode about that Light. Includes a reading from The Pistis Sophia, the teaching dictated by Jesus after his resurrection, as well as an explanation of the alchemical word Azoth and how it relates to Christ.
Pathwork Lectures by Eva Pierrakos (as read by Gary Vollbracht)
There are twelve basic active forces and twelve basic passive forces or principles in the universe. According to the scheme of the “Pistis Sophia,” these forces are concentrated in the highest realm of light and conducted by respective entities; each one is a representative or a personification of one active or passive principle.

The Bible and the Zohar symbolize the structure of the soul (consciousness) as having many important aspects, including Yehuda (יחודה Unity), Ruach, Neshamah, and Nephesh. Explains the relationship between esoteric Christianity (especially The Pistis Sophia) and Kabbalah, alongside deep meanings hidden in many Hebrew words, including min (sex) and manna. This lecture was recorded at the 2012 Gnostic Retreat in Australia. This is a lecture from the free online course Let Us Make Adam. Course Description: The Hebrew words and letters of the Bible clearly say that the Gods and Goddesses (Elohim, a plural word) create Adam in their image. This course explains the development of the soul as taught by Moses in Genesis. Learn about the hidden meanings in the books of Moses and the Zohar in relation to Kabbalah, Hinduism, the Greek pantheon, and much more. "And Elohim said, Let us make Adam in our image, after our likeness..." - Genesis 1
The Rune Ingwaz (Inguz) is related to the Nordic symbol Frey (Froh), who represents the Christic fire that produces spiritual growth. Learn how this rune is hidden in the Aztec calendar and The Pistis Sophia, the Gnostic scripture documenting the teachings of Jesus after his resurrection. Includes discussion of the twelve apostles, four elements, the eucharist (unction), the role of Martha, and much more. This is a lecture from the free online course The Runes Course Description: Dive deep into the primordial structures hidden in all languages and cultures. The Runes are circuits for energy. The Runes are inside every sacred letter, every spiritual motion, and every path to God. This free online course demonstrates the incredible ubiquity and depth of the Runic letters, with special attention on the Aztec Calendar and many runes that previously have not been explained. Includes instructions for many practical exercises. "The language of the Protoplasmic Root Race was the Word of Gold, a universal and cosmic language whose combinations of sounds produced cosmic phenomena of all kinds. Those who follow the path of the Perfect Matrimony come to discover that primeval language again within themselves. When the sacred fire reaches the level of the throat, we then begin to speak in the very pure rising of the divine language, which like a river of gold delightfully flows through the dense sunny jungle. The cosmic laws of Nature were taught to the Gods by their inner Fathers by chanting in this language. The script of the First Root Race was with the Runes. The mallet of Masonry comes from the arrow of the Egyptian God Ra, and this is a Rune. In that epoch, the rituals of the Polar Temple were all runic. The movements of the officials were runic. This is the Divine Script. Let us remember that the Swastika is a Rune. The Hebrew letters are but modifications of runic letters." - Samael Aun Weor, The Perfect Matrimony This free online course was originally given as a series of live non-scripted lectures on Gnostic Radio.
The mysterious rune Perth has perplexed scholars for centuries, because only those initiated into the secret knowledge learned the real meanings of the rune. Now, for the first time, this knowledge is given in this lecture. Learn how the science of the rune Perth is hidden in the mysteries of the Apostle Peter, the Aztec calendar, the Bible, the Pistis Sophia, and many other places. "I saw the chariot of the centuries, which was driven by three Masters of the White Lodge, and a venerable Elder was in this chariot of mystery. How can I forget such a face? Such a countenance? Such an appearance? Such sublime perfection? The forehead of that Elder was certainly high and majestic, his nose straight and perfect, his lips fine and delicate, his ears small and recoiled, his beard white and with an aureole of light, and his hair of an immaculate whiteness was falling over his shoulders. It is obvious that I could not stop inquiring about him, since he was terribly Divine and formidable. “The name of Him is Peter,” answered one of the Hierophants who was driving the chariot of the centuries. Then after... oh God of mine!... I abased myself on the ground before this Elder of the Centuries, and filled with infinite love and compassion, while speaking in the golden language, he blessed me. Since then I have reflected a lot, and I will never be sorry for having taught humanity the Gospel of Peter, the Maithuna, Sex Yoga. Patar, Peter, said: "Behold I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious... Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner. And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense." - 1 Peter 2:6, 7, 8 But then, what about the Holy Grail? Is it not perhaps the same Initiatic Stone?" – Magic of the Runes, Samael Aun Weor This is a lecture from the free online course The Runes Course Description: Dive deep into the primordial structures hidden in all languages and cultures.
