Philosopher Pierre Grimes joins Jeffrey Mishlove to discuss his unpublished manuscript, a dialogue between Jesus and Socrates in heaven, which portrays Jesus as a Gnostic-style philosopher whose teachings were distorted by followers,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