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Philosopher Pierre Grimes joins Jeffrey Mishlove to discuss his unpublished manuscript, a dialogue between Jesus and Socrates in heaven, which portrays Jesus as a Gnostic-style philosopher whose teachings were distorted by followers,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.

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.

The Ancients Glitched Reality: Psyops Entities & Consciousness | Chase Hughes

Third Eye DropsSep 22, 2026

Behavioral expert Chase Hughes describes how temporal lobe seizures and a five-hour intravenous DMT session, in which mantis-like beings seemed to perform surgery on him, convinced him that reality is consciousness rather than matter. He and host Michael break down how psyops work and argue that the current wave of government UFO disclosure looks like a public market test, not genuine whistleblowing. Along the way they draw on Hermetic principles, Plato's cave, Gnostic texts, the Telepathy Tapes, and claims of hidden Egyptian-style artifacts in the Grand Canyon.
