Gnosticism

Philosophy and Theology with Pierre Grimes (1924 - 2024) (4K Reboot)

New Thinking AllowedOct 22, 2026

Philosopher Pierre Grimes joins Jeffrey Mishlove to discuss his unpublished manuscript, a dialogue between Jesus and Socrates in heaven, which portrays Jesus as a Gnostic-style philosopher whose teachings were distorted by followers, especially Paul. Grimes argues that the Nag Hammadi texts, the Gospel of Mark, and Plato's emphasis on dreams point toward a spirituality of understanding and direct experience rather than belief. He suggests that reviving the Logos, dream work, and even a modern echo of the Eleusinian Mysteries through psychedelics could spark a cultural awakening.

InPresence 0160: Carl Jung and the End of Humanity – Reflections on Peter Kingsley’s Catafalque

New Thinking AllowedSep 23, 2026

Psychologist Jeffrey Mishlove reflects on Peter Kingsley's two-volume book Catafalque: Carl Jung and the End of Humanity, which argues that Jung was not merely a scientist but a prophet akin to Jesus, Muhammad, and Mani. Kingsley claims Jung deliberately hid the mystical, religious nature of his work behind scientific language, and that orthodox Jungians do him a disservice by denying it. Mishlove explores Kingsley's warning that Western civilization is doomed for losing touch with the source of consciousness, and shares a personal moment of insight about self-initiation.

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.

Gil Rosen on From Anunnaki to Elohim: The Reality of How We Were Engineered

Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioSep 8, 2026

Marketing executive Gil Rosen argues that Genesis, read in its original Hebrew, describes a team of advanced beings who engineered humanity rather than an all-knowing single God. He points to plural names like Elohim, words such as tardema (deep sleep, like anesthesia) in the creation of Eve, and what he calls 'Star Wars moments' as evidence of witnessed technology and genetic engineering. He also recasts the Eden serpent as a knowledge-bringing hero, links it to Quetzalcoatl, and reads Genesis 6's Nephilim as hybrid offspring whose spread led Yehovah to restart his failed experiment with the Flood.
