Robert Anton Wilson’s The Cosmic Trigger with Gabriel Kennedy

New Thinking AllowedSep 28, 2026

Jeffrey Mishlove and biographer Gabriel Kennedy revisit Robert Anton Wilson's 1977 classic Cosmic Trigger, Volume 1: The Final Secret of the Illuminati, and the psychedelic, occult and quantum-physics scene of mid-1970s Berkeley that produced it. They trace how Wilson's LSD-fueled Crowley rituals led him to believe he was receiving telepathic messages from beings near the star Sirius, tied to synchronicities around the number 23, until a meeting with Jacques Vallée changed his interpretation. The conversation also covers Wilson's collaboration with the imprisoned Timothy Leary, his model agnosticism, and the family tragedies that shaped the book.

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.
