This week we conclude our 2 part episode of The Apocalypse, with Christine introducing us to Edgar Cayce's interpretation of the Book of Revelation as the Map to the development of the individual soul. It's every bit as unusual as the Book of Revelation itself. She shares it in hopes of combating the fallacy that there is one single correct interpretation of the final book of the Bible.

In this first installment of a two-parter, Erica and Seth present two different approaches to the idea of Apocalypse. Erica discusses the ideas of Secular Vs Religious Apocalypse, the importance of Hope, and how these ideas manifest in pop culture. Seth then takes us back to the 12th Century, to the apocalyptic ideas of Joachim de Fiore, his the desire for perfected monasticism, and the historical anti-apocalypticism of mainstream Catholic theology.

Seth rounds us out by discussing depictions of women religious in film, specifically in the films Doubt, Black Narcissus, The Nun's Story, and the horror movie, The Nun.

Are there such things as prophetic dreams? If so, can they be trusted? Can the dreamers be trusted? The gang examines this idea this week.

Also, Both Christine and Erica each share a prophetic dream from their own experience.

Today we're talking about the phenomenon of Stigmata! Erica starts us off by going into the Greek meanings behind the word, and the modern day manifestations of Social Stigma, especially surrounding the concepts of "Purity" and still surviving Blood Taboos. Seth discusses a bit of the history and politics around the phenomenon of stigmata (and terrible names for Dive Bars) while Christine ponders on the psychosomatic nature of stigmata, and what this nature indicates about the state of the stigmatic. Not gonna lie, it gets a little weird, and we deal with some subjects that are best addressed with a bit of maturity. Which we utterly fail at, but we gave it a good try!
