Our rebroadcast is Aeon Byte #179-- Jesus The Alchemist . Although Alchemy is considered an ancient practice, very few have posited that Jesus Christ himself might have been versed in the ancient lore of Egypt.  And most have missed that both The Bible and The Nag Hammadi scream that the Logos not only knew Alchemy, but the primordial Alchemy that could create great miracles including healing and immortality.  And he and his followers left plenty of clues behind that we can recapture this form of Alchemy and, like him, become gods on Earth. Our guest was Al Sylvester, author of The First Mythology.

Next week we deal how to obtain Gnosis without Gnosticism. Or more like how to obtain without modern Gnosticism. Gnostic churches, cults, and magnetic leaders have sprouted like weeds since the 19th century; but even to this day few of them go deeply enough into the Nag Hammadi library. Many are simply occult organizations masking as the torch bearers of the ancient Gnostics. We go very deep into the essence of the Gnostics and distill their true message in an easy to understand, easy to practice, and easy on your wallet way. Our astral guest will be Jeremy Puma, author of This Way: Making Sense of Gnosis in a Nonsensical Reality ,Mysteries of the Gnostic Ascent, and The Face of the Sky and Earth.
