Talk Gnosis

Listen to Part 1 first

A strange scene in the Bible where Moses erects a bronze serpent upon a pole becomes the jumping off point for a whirlwind exploration of life, the universe, and everything in Michael R. Osbourne’s “The Brazen Serpent: Chaos and Order.” Through the teachings and symbolism of the great mystics of the Western esoteric tradition onto the future (or present?) creation of the Noosphere, Michael unveils a divine code pointing to the truth of God and humans.

Former Google Engineer Blake Lemoine made international headlines for both his public comments about the consciousness of the Google AI project LaMDA and the corporation’s moral responsibly around creating sentient entities and his subsequent dismissal from the company. What many don’t know is Blake has a long time interest and active engagement with Gnosticism and esoteric philosophy so we got him on the pod to talk about the intersections between AI, consciousness, and Gnosticism. Oh, also we find out if robots are going to kill us all Terminator 2 style.

We’re starting a new show about the intersections of pop culture and Gnosticism and this is our test ep for it AND this year’s Halloween special. The Darren Aronofsky film mother!, about a couple in an isolated country home encountering a series of disturbing visits by disturbing people, was advertised as a horror movie and wikipedia claims it’s a horror thriller so that’s good enough for this October BUT we debate if if it is a horror movie…or Gnostic….or what it is. A peculiar allegory that’s definitely saying something about god and the Bible, Deacon Jon, Jason, and Deacon Angie share their theories and go through the details so tune in and give us your mother! theories in the comments.

The Most Holy Trinosophia is a mysterious text from the late 18th century composed of mystical images and text, maybe written by the infamous Cagliostro in the prison of the inquisition, that tells the story of an allegorical and initiatory journey. Writer M.R. Osbourne tells us about his new edition of the book and reveals the book’s mysteries, unveiling what might be a secret book of the dead in the Egyptian tradition.

Dr. M.David Litwa returns to Talk Gnosis and we talk about an evil creator god based on the deity of the Bible, the ancient Egyptian god of chaos Set, a near-forgotten Christian leader named Marcion, the real “first” and secret New Testament, and generally shift some paradigms in this interview about his book, The Evil Creator.

You asked and we answered with the definite and only true answers to life’s biggest questions and answers…well maybe not THE answers…oh wait…maybe there’s only questions at the end of everything….anyway YOU asked a number of questions about Gnosticism and our panel of Gnostic all stars gave their answers. Tune in for our takes on Trad Caths, archons, meditation, doing ketamine and starting Rad Gnos in Nickle Square, the eucharist, AND so so so much more (almost 2 hours of show here folks, enjoy!)
