Demiurge

Dr. Umberto Capotummino on The Egyptian Book of the Dead, I Ching, and Abraxas

Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioOct 30, 2026

Italian scholar Umberto Capotummino argues that a hidden numerical code links the Egyptian Book of the Dead, the Chinese I Ching, and the Gnostic system of Basilides of Alexandria. Through number patterns like 24, 64, 384, 365, 153, and 666, he claims ancient priests and sages encoded the same map of sacred time and the soul's journey toward immortality. The episode explores Abraxas, Chnoubis, the Ba and Akh souls, and a divinatory method for reaching Egyptian spells through I Ching hexagrams.

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.

Ravenna Dame on The Return of Sophia

Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioOct 15, 2026

Aeon Byte host Miguel Conner welcomes Ravenna 'Raven' Dame, a self-described 'Gnostic witch' who says she began channeling the Gnostic goddess Sophia after activating her third eye in February, following a stillbirth in 2024. Raven claims Sophia split her soul into many vessels to survive a war waged by 'the fallen' led by her son, the Demiurge, and has been asleep for 3,500 years. She describes herbal protocols she says were channeled from the gods, which Conner credits with improving his arterial disease, and the two promote a 'Tree of Life' AI app meant to guide users through spiritual awakening.

Dr. Riz Virk on Riding the Dragon: Startups, Dreams & Higher Consciousness

Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioOct 13, 2026

Simulation Hypothesis author Dr. Rizwan Virk returns to discuss his new book, The Zen Entrepreneur and the Dream, which claims our inner karmic patterns create the challenges we face in business and love, like quests written for us in a cosmic video game. He describes a vision he had in the ICU after heart surgery, in which Tibetan monks reminded him of a pre-birth plan to become a writer after his career as an entrepreneur. The conversation ranges from AI myths and censorship to the theme of forgetfulness found across Sufi, Gnostic, Hindu, Greek, Chinese and Jewish traditions.

Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioOct 2, 2026

Gnostic podcaster Miguel Conner gives a health update, saying herbal remedies and a tea and balm from a self-described Gnostic witch he calls Raven greatly improved his arterial occlusive disease, citing ultrasound results his doctor shared. He also discusses what he considers prophetic experiences, such as dreams and songs he can't stop playing that later seem to come true, along with stories from co-hosts Graham and Vance. The episode closes by promoting a crowdfunded graphic novel reboot of his 1990s vampire novel Stargazer, which he reinterprets as an allegory of Gnostics versus the Archons.

David Crawford on Near Death Experiences & How To Escape the Loosh Matrix

Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioSep 29, 2026

David Crawford, a former Zen monk raised on Gnostic ideas, describes a five-day near-death experience in 2024 after alcohol-induced bleeding varices nearly killed him. Instead of white light or angels, he found a shabby, bureaucratic overlay of his hospital staffed by indifferent 'psychopomps' who seemed intent on erasing his memory and pushing him into a new body. In his book 'A Manual for the Dead', he frames the afterlife as a soul-recycling system run by apathetic archon-like middle managers and offers four keys for keeping your sovereignty after death.

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.

Sunshine Witchski on The Spiritual Path to Sobriety

Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioSep 10, 2026

Recovering alcoholic and witch Sunshine Witschke joins host Miguel Conner, himself a recovering cocaine addict, to explore addiction as a spiritual crisis rather than only a physical or mental disease. She describes leaving traditional AA after her many higher powers of gods, ancestors, and spirits clashed with its Christian-tinged culture, and creating the Witch's 13 Steps to Recovery built on tarot, ritual, and community. The conversation weaves Gnostic and Buddhist ideas of illusion, Carl Jung's influence on the 12 steps, and Sunshine's claim that the American Dream is a Masonic-born egregore that has run out of control.

Sol Luckman on Postmodern Gnosticism & Destroying the Loosh Machine

Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioSep 4, 2026

Author Sol Luckman joins Miguel Conner and Graham Pong to discuss the Gnostic core of his upcoming book How to Run Down a Dream, arguing that this world is a loosh farm where archon-like entities harvest the energy humans give off when traumatized. Luckman claims shame, not fear or love, is the main fuel of this matrix, and he reinterprets the Garden of Eden as the moment a serpent installed its own operating system into the human mind. He offers inner alchemy, waking dreaming, and DNA sound activation as ways to forge an immortal dream body and escape the cycle.

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.

Frater Eleftheria on Divine Dialogue: A New Way of Communicating with Angels

Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioAug 29, 2026

Western esoteric practitioner Frater Eleftheria, formerly initiated into the OTO and the A∴A∴, says his book Voces Caelesti (The Book of Heavenly Voices) was received from angelic beings during Enochian scrying rituals. He claims he reconstructed the lost Gebofal ritual that Elizabethan magicians John Dee and Edward Kelley were commissioned to perform but never completed, including recovering a missing 48th call. With host Miguel Conner, he explores the Holy Guardian Angel, the inner Christ, Metatron and the Son of Man, and a striking twist: the Gnostic false god, the demiurge, may be a thought-form humanity created itself.

Jason Reza Jorjani on Gnostic Glitches: Escaping the Demiurge’s Labyrinth

Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioAug 27, 2026

Philosopher Jason Reza Jorjani joins Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio to discuss his essay collection Occult Horizons, arguing that the occult is hidden because it would pull the moral and metaphysical ground out from under ordinary people. He covers Konrad Zuse's idea that we live in a computational universe, the claim that a nuclear blast could expose the code of the 'matrix', Nordic aliens pushing for disarmament, and claims that AI programmers are suppressing psychic abilities in language models. The conversation also argues that the Scythians were the hidden architects of Eurasian civilization and connects them to Atlantis, intelligence agencies, and dragon myths.

Joseph St. Clair on Beyond Plato’s Cave: Escaping the Social Simulation

Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioAug 21, 2026

Former Air Force intelligence linguist and Berkeley-trained lawyer Joseph St. Clair joins Miguel Conner to discuss his book The Architecture of Gold, which frames human consciousness as three non-hierarchical modes of ego: bronze (impulse), silver (system), and gold (integration). Drawing on alchemy, Gnosticism, and six months of wrongful detention in a Venezuelan prison, St. Clair argues that institutions, the military, tech algorithms, and even spiritual movements trap people in a 'gilded cage' of borrowed identity. The conversation explores mind control, synchronicity, mystery school initiations, and how to escape the social simulation through conscious intention.

Miguel Conner on Freemasonry Being a Totally Gnostic Religion

Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioAug 13, 2026

Miguel Conner argues that Freemasonry is secretly a fully Gnostic religion, drawing on Charles Fleischhauer's book The Gnostic Secret Doctrine of Freemasonry. He walks through Masonic rituals, lodge layout, the pillars Jachin and Boaz, and the Hiram Abiff legend, reading them as coded maps of the soul's imprisonment in matter under the Demiurge and its escape. The episode closes by linking the Knights Templar and Gothic cathedral imagery to hidden Sophia mysteries and the sacred feminine.

Jason Quitt | The Atlantis Myth, Cosmic Cycles, & Astral Abductions

The Higherside ChatsAug 11, 2026

Author and lifelong entity experiencer Jason Quitt argues that Plato's Atlantis was never meant as a literal sunken continent, but as a celestial allegory for the precession of the equinoxes and the shifting North Star across the roughly 26,000-year Great Year. He ties the story's concentric rings, Atlas as world axis, and the orichalcum pillar to Plato's model of the world soul in the Timaeus and to older Egyptian and Mesopotamian creation myths. He also proposes that most alien abductions are 'astral abductions,' out-of-body experiences that follow nearly the same step-by-step pattern as classic abduction reports.

Raad Enlightenment on Unmasking the Reptilian Matrix, Part 2

Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioAug 5, 2026

Self-described awakened guide Rad Enlightenment (J-Rad) returns to Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio to argue that our physical reality is a holographic matrix built by reptilian entities to harvest human life force. He claims these beings feed on our emotional reactions, possess people around us, and trap souls in an endless reincarnation cycle. The escape, he says, is to stop identifying with the body and mind and recognize yourself as formless consciousness observing the simulation.

Miguel Conner on Meatsack Health Update & AMA, Part 3

Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioAug 2, 2026

Gnostic radio host Miguel Conner shares a health update on his arterial occlusive disease, claiming a remedy of tea, cream and crystals revealed in a vision of the goddess Sophia has largely restored his mobility. He then presents scholar April DeConick's argument that ancient Gnosticism was a healing system that treated humanity's 'primal wound' of separation from the divine through ecstatic rituals, chanting and soul journeys. The episode also covers his reboot of a Gnostic vampire novel, a listener's computer-based spirit communication, and upcoming shows on Elvis, David Bowie and the Freemasons.

Miguel Conner on The Assassins: Gnostic Theology & Templar Connection

Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioJul 16, 2026

Miguel Conner explores the medieval Nizari Ismailis, better known as the Assassins, and argues they carried forward a hidden Gnostic and Persian Mithraic tradition rather than being simply a Muslim sect. Drawing on Jason Reza Jorjani's 'Iranian Leviathan' and Tracy Twyman and Alex Rivera's 'Baphomet: The Templar Mystery Unveiled,' he traces a lineage from the Carpocratian Gnostics through the Mazdakite movement to Hassan-i Sabbah's fortress of Alamut. He reinterprets the famous maxim 'Nothing is true, everything is permitted' as a Gnostic statement of spiritual liberation, and he previews a connection between the Assassins and the Knights Templar.

A Traditionalist Perspective on Gnosticism with Charles Upton

New Thinking AllowedFeb 10, 2026

In this episode, Charles Upton provides a traditionalist critique of Gnosticism, exploring its metaphysical assumptions and contemporary resonance. He argues that Gnosticism serves as a symbolic diagnosis of modern ego and spiritual imbalance rather than a literal truth. Upton reframes the Gnostic concept of a false universe and its associated Archons, offering insights into their implications for our understanding of selfhood and chaos.
