Humanity is becoming increasingly fragmented in the 21st Century. Beyond a general lack of reverence and a growing ignorance for the truth, the chasm between faith and reason continues to grow. This distance is causing great disunity in the world, a far cry when the secular and the holy working together created great minds, systems and overall harmony. Gnosis understood within a postmodern context is mankind's best chance to unite faith and reason, as well as other dualities. Now, more than ever, the message of the Classic Gnostics can help heal a wounded, infirm society. From the Gnosis transmitted by the Serpent in The Garden, to the Gnostic saviors found in Comic Books, we go deep into the dangerous heart of Gnosticism and its promise for humanity's wholeness.
