In this Season 2 finale, David and Gene synthesize their entire journey through Gnosticism, revealing how the four texts they covered create a complete initiatory system for spiritual awakening.After exploring the Perennial Philosophy through Freemasonry's "Key to the Mysteries" in Season 1, they discovered what that key unlocks: the suppressed wisdom of Gnosticism - teachings so dangerous to institutionalized religious control that possessing these texts once meant execution. This episode traces the path from spiritual sleep to enlightened awareness through:The Secret Gospel of John's cosmic blueprint of consciousness,The Gospel of Thomas's paradoxical wisdom designed to short-circuit dualistic thinking,The Trimorphic Protennoia's first-person autobiography of the Universal Mind discovering itself, andThe Thunder, Perfect Mind's paradoxical declarations that shatter all notions of separation.David and Gene map these texts onto the ancient Gnostic initiatory framework using the symbol of a point within a circle with:Hylics identified with the material world (the circle's edge),Psychics identified with mind and emotion (the radius line bridging matter and spirit), andPneumatics who have achieved direct knowledge of their divine nature (the center point).Each text addresses a specific stage on this journey from identification with the body to recognition that individual consciousness is not separate but rather the One Universal Mind experiencing itself through countless perspectives.The ultimate revelation? The Thunder, Perfect Mind's closing promise echoes The Gospel of Thomas's opening declaration: those who find this wisdom will not taste death, for they recognize themselves as the deathless consciousness that animates all life.

  We are continuing our miniseries where we pay tribute to one of my favorite podcasts, Revisionist History, hosted by the well-known author Malcolm Gladwell. Gladwell describes Revisionist History as a podcast about things overlooked and misunderstood. There are many injuries or problems we see in the office or on the sidelines that patients, parents, coaches, and even health care professionals give a generic label or diagnosis. In some situations, it may be correct, but often things get lumped into a simple category which may lead to things not being treated or managed most effectively. This is episode 6 of this series I am affectionately calling “Revisionist Sports Medicine”, a series about things in Pediatric Sports Medicine overlooked or misunderstood.   Connect with The Host!

Do leading members of secret societies managing many of the levers of influence throughout history wield genuine “knowledge known only to the inner elites”… or is something else at play? In this Canadian Patriot Review documentary produced by Jason Dahl, narrated by Matt Ehret and based on the work of Cynthia Chung, you will be introduced to the ancient origins of the occult societies that penetrated the heart of America's intelligence agencies after the murder of William McKinley in 1901. This journey will take you into the heart of ancient occult societies that managed wars, financial and cultural policies over two millenia ago. You will learn of the underlying methodology of manipulation used to induce foolish kings and generals into self destruction during the days of the Persian Empire which continue to be used to this very day. With this overview, you will be introduced to 1) the British roots of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry founded in 1801 by British grand strategists in South Carolina, 2) a figure named Albert Pike who led in the largest expansion of this foreign agency within the USA after Lincoln's victory in 1865 and 3) the “seat of government” which 33rd degree FBI director J. Edgar Hoover managed in the USA during the course of eight presidencies. This dark history is contrasted to the courageous efforts of men who devoted their lives resisting the growth of this occult agency including President Franklin Roosevelt, Senator Thomas J Walsh, Congressman Hale Boggs, Attorney General of New Orleans Jim Garrison, Martin Luther King Jr, Bobby Kennedy and his brother John F Kennedy. This documentary was based on the essay “The Origins of America's Secret Police” by Cynthia Chung, whose new book on the growth of 20th century fascism can be purchased here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BLMBKHPX/ref=sr_1_1?crid=VSL04B95XCFO&keywords=cynthia+chung+the+empire+on+which+the+black+sun&qid=1667807978&sprefix=cynthia+chung+the+empire+on+which+the+black+sun+%2Caps%2C96&sr=8-1

In this concluding episode on "The Thunder, Perfect Mind," Gene and David navigate the profound paradoxes of one of Gnosticism's most enigmatic texts. The voice of Barbelo - divine consciousness itself - speaks through declarations that shatter conventional understanding: "I am godless, and I am the one whose God is great," "I am control and the uncontrollable," "I am peace, and war has come because of me." These aren't riddles to be solved intellectually, but invitations to experiential awakening. Each paradox forces a confrontation with the persistent question: who is the "you" that experiences both honor and scorn, shame and shamelessness, closeness and distance?The discussion reveals how these thunderous statements point toward non-duality and the illusion of separation. David and Gene explore how the text functions as a mirror reflecting the entire human condition - the consciousness that remains constant while experiencing the full spectrum of human emotions and circumstances. Drawing connections to the Hermetic axiom "as above, so below," Egyptian mysteries of Maat's judgment, and Bernardo Kastrup's philosophy of consciousness, they demonstrate how ancient wisdom anticipated modern understandings of the nature of reality itself.The episode culminates with the text's most radical teaching: "What is inside of you is what is outside of you... it is visible and it is your garment." This obliterates the final duality between self and world, revealing consciousness as the underlying substance of all existence. The text promises that those who stop identifying with "fleeting passions" and temporary forms will find their "resting place" where they "will live, and they will not die again" - a Gnostic vision of awakening to our undying essence.

In this episode, Gene and David begin their exploration of “The Thunder, Perfect Mind,” one of the most enigmatic and paradoxical texts from the Nag Hammadi library. This mysterious Gnostic revelation presents the divine feminine Voice (Barbelo) speaking in riddles and contradictions that deliberately shake the foundations of dualistic thinking. "I am the first and the last. I am the honored one and the scorned one. I am the whore and the holy one" - these riddles are not quite they seem. They are actually sophisticated teachings designed to awaken the listener to a deeper truth about consciousness itself.The hosts reveal how this text is from the perspective of the Trimorphic Protennoia in her second form as the unarticulated Voice - the Thunder that shook the seven Archons' thrones by introducing cognitive dissonance into the mind's rigid structures. Through her paradoxes, the Voice demonstrates that she is the consciousness present in all experiences, both the observer and the observed, the lover and beloved, the slave and ruler.Gene and David guide listeners through the text's profound psychological dimensions, showing how these apparent contradictions point toward the recognition of oneself as the witnessing consciousness that encompasses all opposites - love and hate, wealth and poverty, power and weakness, life and death.The episode explores how different spiritual traditions from Maat in Egypt to the Taoist principle of fluidity all point toward this same underlying Unity. The Voice challenges listeners to stop identifying with particular states or emotions and instead recognize themselves as the constant awareness experiencing all of life's polarities. "The Thunder, Perfect Mind" is a text designed to expand consciousness by holding opposites simultaneously, ultimately revealing that all experiences are movements of the One consciousness knowing itself from infinite perspectives. This teaching method culminates in recognizing that the Voice speaking in the text is not external but our own deepest Self.

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

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

In this episode, Gene and David continue their deep dive into the Gnostic text, "The Trimorphic Protennoia," completing their discussion of the first of three descents of the divine feminine principle. They review how consciousness unfolds through the archetypes of Father (unmanifest thought), Mother (the threshold of voice), and Son (the manifest word), revealing the recursive and mysterious nature of reality itself. The dialogue illuminates the emergence of Christ not as a historical figure, but as the Logos or "Witness Consciousness" within each of us - the single, unchanging "Eye of Light" that observes the endless stream of our thoughts and emotions and gives us our core sense of identity.The discussion then descends into the cosmic drama of creation and illusion -how Protennoia (aka Barbelo), first establishes the celestial order of the "True Aeons" before it's reflection emerges in the lower worlds. From the lowest heavenly realm, the ignorant creator god - the Demiurge, known by the names Saklas (fool), Samael (blind god), and Yaltabaoth (child of chaos) - arises to fashion a flawed world in the likeness of a divine pattern he can only dimly perceive. But then, the central mystery is revealed: the Protennoia has played a trick on the this “blind idiot god of chaos,” secretly embedding her own divine essence within his creation. This hidden spark is the very seed of the Demiurge's eventual demise and the ultimate key to humanity's liberation - the reorganization of the personality into the divine pattern of the Trimorphic Protennoia.Finally, the text reveals the Gnostic path to wholeness. The Protennoia declares herself the "Father" to the "Sons of the Light" - those who activate their inner spiritual nature - and unveils an "ineffable mystery." She describes her own "Harrowing of Hell," which is an inner process of breaking the psychic chains of the Archons, or demons, that hold the soul in bondage. By working from within and speaking "below their language," she nullifies their power and plants a single, transformative thought: the realization that we are not, and never have been separate from the universal stream of life.David and Gene reiterate that these ancient texts are not mere stories but living maps for the soul, urging us to move beyond intellectual study and begin the practical work of self-discovery by listening to the silent, inner voice that speaks through dreams and visions.Deep Dive:The Trimorphic Protennoia - Three Forms of First ThoughtChapters:01:15 Introduction01:46 Review04:20 Three In One07:57 Christ10:23 Barbelo12:48 Son of God15:11 True Aeons17:56 The Demiurge21:22 False Aeons23:19 Creation of Man26:00 Sons of Light27:52 Mysteries of the Father32:17 Protennoia Mysteries34:46 ConclusionsResources:Trimorphic Protennoia - John D.

Were the Freemasons keepers of ancient spiritual wisdom—or part of a global system of control? In this episode of The Infinite Spark of Being, Keith reflects on the mysterious history, esoteric symbols, and spiritual significance of Freemasonry—through the deeply personal lens of his own father, a 32° Freemason in the Scottish Rite.You'll learn the true meaning behind powerful Masonic symbols like the Square and Compass, the All-Seeing Eye, the Pillars of Boaz and Jachin, and the Rough and Perfect Ashlars. We'll explore what these teachings can offer your spiritual path, and why mystery, discipline, and personal transformation still matter in a world addicted to quick answers and instant gratification.This isn't a conspiracy rant. This is a call inward.
