Topics Discussed:
--A blow by blow account of forming of the Sephiroth (The Tree of Life/Creation) according to Luria, including the pre-cosmic cataclysm that trapped us in reality.
--Why modern Kabbalah is very different from the original Kabbalah.
--Understanding such concepts as the gathering for the sparks, the restoration of the face of God, the Zin-Zum (the Divine inhaling itself to allow creation), and other Jewish Mystic notions.
--How Luria influenced other great Kabbalah masters and what they added to his Gnosis.
--Mining Kabbalistic insights from such works as The Zohar, The Baal Shem Tov, The Koran, Jung’s Answer to Job and many others.
--How Luria crystallized the concept of the cosmic Messiah that is so predominant today in esoteric traditions.
--Understanding the notion of suffering and why God allows evil through the Kabbalistic lens.
And much more!!!
Our rebroadcast is Aeon Byte #169--The Goddess Hekate. We deal with a much marginalized goddess that is increasingly becoming more popular in these days of spiritual alternatives. Although believed to be just another goddess of the underworld, the reality is that she was many things to many cultures for thousands of years until the Abrahamic religions got medieval on her ass. And more importantly, she was probably one of the original creator deities of humanity. Her name is Hekate. Our guest will be Sorita d’Este, editor and author of Hekate: Her Sacred Fires
.Next week we take a look at one of the most popular mediums that has hidden esoteric and mystic secrets for generations--comic books. Yes, the old gods and mythological heroes were simply recast in our times as the champions gracing comic book pages. And very little of it was accidental. The great creators of the genre, from Jack Kirby to Alan Moore, knew very well how to tap into the occult before they granted their readers a special Gnosis. Our gust will be Chris Knowles, author of Our Gods Wear Spandex: The Secret History of Comic Book and
and The Secret History of Rock 'n' Roll

Thank you for those who have supported Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio via donations, buying products, or downloading shows. But more help is necessary if this venture is to continue at this or any level. If everyone simply donates a buck or buys a show every week, I can break even and even re-invest in the show, as well as larger cells where I keep my guests until they agree to be interviewed. Again, your support is essential. And please spread the heretical world to anyone seeking the roads less traveled. This venture is completely non-profit, trust me on this!
