In the 20 years between 1209 and 1229 Pope Innocent III and the Catholic church waged an all-out war against the Christian Gnostics in the Languedoc area of France. Their belief in the salvation of inner knowledge, their hatred of materialism and their punk-rock like attitude earned the heretics a bloody genocide as the Crusaders stay home and turn their swords on fellow peaceful Europeans.

One of the best cross over events in the history of Marvel Comics is talked out in the lead up to the new Avengers movies. We start before the events of iconic six issue Infinity Gauntlet books and sort of talk about Adam Warlock the golden space Jesus and the mysterious origins of the Infinity Stones! And follow up with the snap of the finger that removed ½ of the sentient life in the universe.

We conclude our discussion about Joseph Campbell’s monomyth and how it has influenced some of the great movies and books of our time. We also dive deep and examine a transcribed audio tape from 1978 to learn the shocking truth about Indiana Jones. This all makes me wonder if he should be allowed to hang out with Short Round.

In this episode, we start to talk about Joseph Campbell’s monomyth and how our generations dominant myth Star Wars uses it. Over and over again… and again. We talk about The Hero’s Journey. Also we discuss SJW Star Wars and the shocking truth of Indiana Jones sex with minor(s), and the only thing Luke Skywalker was really good at.

By examining Obama’s revolutionary data mining apparatus from the 2012 re-election campaign focusing in on cable TV buys, his smart phone app and social media we see if we can get our arms around this new buzz word “data mining” and we see if we can find the edges and the icky parts. We start with some recent tweets and a recent “news article” but also, we go back in time and specifically to a MIT Technology Review article from 2012.

It seems like a lot had to happen before “Let there be light.” The last stop on our Gnostic introduction and our moonwalk through Genesis. We examine a few Gnostics stories regarding the origin of the universe. It starts with the exile of Sophia, the creation of the ignorant creator Demiurge and his henchmen the Archons and continues with the flawed fractured world that still spins on to this day.

As a riff from The Garden of Eden episode, where the male and female principles in the form of Adam and Eve are divided and separated. The first heretic, Simon Magus a wizard who was a contemporary of Jesus Christ struggles throughout human history to re-unify with his female counterpart Helen of Troy. The episode ends with a pretty heavy metal wizard duel.

Continuing our backwards trip through Genesis, continuing from Cain and Abel to stop and look at an alternative / gnostic version of the story that is very different from the orthodox, Sunday School version of what went down in The Garden of Eden. Who created humans? Who was created first? Who was the serpent? What was the fruit from the tree? Who was Cain and Abels parents? Let’s take a good hard look at all of this.

We continue our discussion of The Gnostic Worldview with the concept that we are actually divine sparks of infinity trapped in a prison of clunky, decaying matter. Like Howard the Duck we are trapped in a world we never made.

Do you feel alienated in the world? Trapped in your mundane, everyday life? Do you feel like a slave or a zoo exhibit in service to unseen and unknowable masters? If so, you might be a Gnostic! With the word s “Gnosis”, “Gnostic” and “Gnosticism” being thrown down these days in discussions from everything from the Flat Earth “debate” to The Simulation Hypothesis and everything in between, we thought it was time to focus on and define THE GNOSTIC WORLDVIEW in two parts.
