I’m very excited to host Alicen Grey, who will give us the honest and liberating Gnosis with her new book, Synchronicities: The Signs All Point To You. We’ll dive into the true nature of synchronicity, moments of illumination when the veil of Time dissolves and the timeless reality of the Inner World is revealed in the Outer World. You’ll learn why commonly held beliefs—that these events are external messages, guides, or signs pointing you toward a course of action—are misconceptions that can lead to confusion and devastating consequences. Alicen provides an urgent call to embrace radical self-responsibility, using these powerful occurrences as a feedback system to diagnose your internal state and understand that all signs ultimately point back to you.

We always win any Devil’s bargain when Dr. Paul Bishop graces the Virtual Alexandria. He’ll discuss his new book, Jung and the Epic of Transformation Vol. 2: Goethe’s “Faust” as a Text of Transformation. We’ll explore a crucial text in the bridge of the spirit, widely considered the most critical work of German literature, spanning the cosmic journey from a prologue in heaven to hell. Paul’s analysis delves into the protagonist’s profound dilemma of the split personality and his existential self-alienation, which drives him to embrace ceaseless activity and a perilous descent into the depths of the unconscious, seeking fulfillment in the Unattainable. We’ll examine how themes like redemption, eternal growth, and the concept that all transient reality is merely a likeness reveal the enduring mystery and importance of this work as an epic of transformation.

From David Block himself:

You believe you live in a universe of random chance, governed by the cold, dead laws of physics. That is a lie. You live in a poem—a spell. A perfectly crafted piece of architecture, written in a language your five senses were never meant to understand. But your soul remembers the grammar. The war for your soul is not a war of armies. It is a war of alphabets. The question is: Whose song are you singing? The song of the cage, or the song of the hanged god? Yggdrasil and the Runes are not myths. It is the memory of a kingdom that was stolen from you. The Wardens of this age, the architects of the grey machine, have spent ten thousand years trying to make you forget. They have burned your libraries. They have killed your kings. They have filled your ears with the deafening, soul-crushing noise of their factories and their wars. They have done everything in their power to make you forget the silence in which the true song is heard! It is the song of the Hanged God. It is the song of the Wolf. It is the song of Odin!
