Georges Bataille (1897–1962) was a French philosopher, author, surrealist, poet, writer of erotica, sociologist, a master of transgression and filth, a founder of a secret society, and a mystic…well a mystic of some sort…you’ll see…and a whole lot of other things! To get a handle on this unique thinker, one who associated some of his own thinking with the ancient Gnostics, we have returning guests Emmalea Russo and Nic Laccetti.

Read Bataille’s “Gnosticism & Base Materialism” in this collection of some of his work here (essay 13): https://ia801603.us.archive.org/17/items/BatailleTheBatailleReader/Bataille%20-%20The%20Bataille%20Reader.pdf

Temple Theology posits a secret lost tradition that lies behind Western religion and mysticism… and the now unveiled mysteries of Temple Theology shine a new light on both Gnosticism and one of its most famous texts: The Secret Book of John

The Secret Book of John aka The Apocryphon of John is often considered the paradigm of the Gnostic myth, what many people think of when they think of Gnosticism. Though lost for more than 1200 years it was influential in its time and since its rediscovery has been blowing minds and bestowing Gnosis. It’s a tricky and intricate and thrilling meta-text that incorporates everything from Greek tragedy to Jewish mysticism to political commentary to the whole history of the cosmos.

Bishop Tim Mansfield is our guest for an open conversation that ended up running THREE HOURS straight and we only scratched the surface of all this book can tell us and all the ways it can be interpreted. We’ve chopped the first part of the conversation into two separate eps and the third is more precise and about Temple Theology so it stands on its own.

The Golden Dawn, the OTO, Memphis-Misraim Masonry, Theosophy, all are esoteric societies who’ve influenced and guided spiritual seekers, artists, and thinkers–and a secret powerful technique and meditative practice is shared by all of them…well at least some streams in these movements, it’s complicated.

Sam Robinson from Pansophers.com returns to pick up where he left off in our discussion of the Rosicrucian adept Mailander and how his teachings secretly influenced so many groups and esoteric teachers.

Inner Alchemy The Wikipedia article refers to Eastern Inner Alchemy but it gives one a little context at least though what Sam’s talking about has serious differences

Do you feel like the world’s ending? Well, you might be right (this time) but for thousands of years people have seen THE END just around the corner and the canonical Book of Revelation from the Christian bible has inspired thousands of years of paranoia and division but also amazing art, literature, empowerment for the downtrodden, and spiritual speculation. Is it Gnostic? Could it be made Gnostic?

What’s up with this trippy book anyway? To talk about Revelation and Gnosticism a 5-headed beast rose from the waters consisting of the Talk Gnosis all stars: Clark Aitkins, Deacon Angie Wisk-Nowell, Nic Laccetti, Jason Memel, and Deacon Jon.
