Miguel Conner on The Vampire Myth: From Lilith to Wetiko
Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioOct 22, 2026
Gnostic author Miguel Conner traces the vampire myth from the Mesopotamian night demon Lilith through Slavic heretic-revenants, colonial bloodsucker legends, and Bram Stoker's Dracula to Jack D. Forbes' concept of Wetiko, the 'cannibal psychosis' of greed. He argues that every age invents a vampire that mirrors its own fears, whether death, outsiders, disease, desire, or consumption. Using Jungian archetypes and Gnostic cosmology, he presents the vampire as the shadow made flesh and asks whether the parasitic forces feeding on humanity are outside us or within us.
Samuel Stirpe on From Mormon to Gnostic: The Demiurge & the Divine
Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioOct 16, 2026
Author Samuel Stirpe recounts his journey from a Mormon upbringing through 15 years of New Atheism to Marcionite Gnosticism, sparked by a stroke at 29 he describes as the Demiurge trying to kill him. He discusses his book 'Surrender: From Joseph Smith to Marcion' with host Miguel Conner, exploring surprising overlaps between Latter-day Saint temple rituals and Gnostic cosmology. Along the way he argues that Mormonism's own scriptures imply Elohim is an unknown God who appears only in the New Testament, much like Marcion's alien God.
Alan Berman on Nazi Eugenics, Alien Myth, and Mind Wars
Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioOct 1, 2026
Comedian-turned-researcher Alan Berman argues that the popular alien types of gray, Nordic, and reptilian are not visitors from other worlds but cover stories for human genetic engineering, Nazi-era eugenics programs, and mind-manipulation technology. He traces the modern information war to the 1980 'From PSYOP to MindWar' paper co-written by Michael Aquino and Paul Vallely, which he claims laid out how to win wars through constant messaging aimed at both foreign enemies and the American public. Berman ties this to social media algorithms, the Lebensborn program, global financial power, and what he calls a 'thermodynamic wall' that he believes is the true meaning of the biblical firmament.
David Block on The Day the Demiurge Destroyed Atlantis
Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioSep 25, 2026
David Block presents a narrated, illustrated story about Vineta, the legendary sunken 'Atlantis of the Baltic', loosely built on Selma Lagerlöf's children's classic The Wonderful Adventure of Nils. In his telling, Vineta was a free, multi-ethnic node of a Tartarian-Atlantean energy grid that the Demiurge and its 'wardens' destroyed in 1170, while a Templar guide reveals a hidden chain of Gnostic knowledge running from Alexandria to Constantinople. It is the first part of a planned trilogy that will go on to cover the destruction of Atlantis around 10,500 BC and a farewell to Tartaria.
Miguel Conner on the Rape of Eve
Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioSep 20, 2026
Miguel Conner explores how three ancient Gnostic texts retell the Genesis story with Eve being assaulted by the Archons, the false rulers of the material world. Drawing on Dr. Celene Lillie's book The Rape of Eve, he argues these myths condemned Rome's founding myths of sexual conquest and offered a sophisticated ancient blueprint for trauma survival, dissociation, and healing. Speaking openly as a survivor himself, Conner presents the Gnostics as radically compassionate, refusing to blame or shame the victim and imagining healing through consensual, equal partnership.
Gram Pong on The Creation Protocol: Re-Engineering Genesis
Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioSep 2, 2026
Systems thinker Graham joins Miguel Conner and Vance on Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio to reinterpret the Book of Genesis as an engineering specification for how infinite divine energy is stepped down into an ordered universe. Using an 'operator-tool-object' framework, he maps the days of creation onto cosmic events like the universe becoming transparent 380,000 years after the Big Bang, the formation of the first stars, and the birth of our solar system. The hosts push back on puzzles like plants appearing before the sun, prompting Graham to invoke panspermia, earlier civilizations, plasma life, and ancient star-seeding engineers.
