This podcast explores a single structural pattern that appears across religion, psychology, neuroscience, trauma theory, and philosophy—each describing the same event through different languages.
Where modern science speaks of self-models, nervous system regulation, and identity collapse, Gnosticism preserved a cosmological map of the same architecture through symbols like the Pleroma, the Demiurge, and the Archons. This show does not treat these as myths or metaphors, but as an ancient systems-language for consciousness.
It traces how experiences named as enlightenment, ego death, moral injury, PTSD, or spiritual awakening are not separate phenomena, but parallel descriptions of what happens when identity stops filtering reality. The goal is not belief, inspiration, or mysticism, but structural clarity—revealing how meaning, selfhood, and perception are constructed, disrupted, and reintegrated.
This is not spirituality as escape, nor science as reduction. It is a unification of both into a single explanatory framework.
