Gem dealer and author Robert Simmons tells psychologist Jeffrey Mishlove how a meditation with Moldavite, a green glass formed by a meteor impact, opened his chakras and turned him from a skeptic into a believer in stone energies. He links this to Jungian spiritual alchemy, the Emerald Tablet, the Holy Grail legend, and panpsychism. He also recounts a story in which a channeled angelic group called the Azez reportedly borrowed his missing phenakite stone and returned it, along with a new stone called Azeztulite.
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.
