Topics discussed:
--Understanding Prophecy, from its Shamanistic roots to its tapping by modern history-changers.
--How Jesus taught, as many mystic Jews believed, that the soul must be earned and can easily be lost. And not everyone deserves forgiveness
--Examples of great religious leaders that never took Scripture literary but dug deep until they found its divine intent that was applicable to their current challenges (and how you can do this).
--Sin and the Kingdom of God, which in an Aramaic context are closer to the Eastern concept of Karma and Nirvana than to the modern Christian beliefs.
--How the Synoptic Jesus taught about Sophia and her equality to God.
--Why the Social Gospel was always been socially accepted by Christianity.
And much more!!!
Our rebroadcast is Aeon Byte #21-- Simon Magus with Robert M. Price, author of Incredible Shrinking Son of Man: How Reliable Is the Gospel Tradition?, The Pre-Nicene New Testament: Fifty-four Formative Texts, The Reason Driven Life: What Am I Here on Earth For?, and Inerrant the Wind: The Evangelical Crisis in Biblical Authority. The saga of Simon Magus and Helen of Troy. Simon Magus was known as Simon The Magician, Saul of Tarsus, The Father of all Heresies and The Father of Gnosticism; he was also the one who became The Great Power of God once he united with his holy consort, The First Thought of God, or Helen of Troy. These two greatest of ancient figures and greatest of threats to Orthodoxy were somehow silenced and overlooked until now.
Next week we deal with an exciting new magazine that includes a fascinating and invigorating stew of the Esoterica-- Mindscape Magazine. From holistic medicine, ancient myths, alternative archaeology, all the way to dry historical insights on Christianity and depth psychology, it has it all. Furthermore, our guest and editor of Mindscape Magazine reveals his research into the universal Cult of the Bee that has greatly influenced humanity but remained pretty much overlooked. If that wasn't enough, we delve into plenty of heretical musings about ancient and modern occultism. Our guest will be Andrew Gough.
Donations or any type of assistance are always a blessing, even if it's the many skills I don't have. Your support is essential for Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio. 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 get enough clout to interview the new dictator of North Korea. 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!
Stargazer is available in print edition. You can also get it on Kindle, Nook, or various digital formats at Smashwords (all 2.99!). Thank you so much for those who have ventured into this most post-Apocalyptic/Philip K. Dick/Gnostic tale with a universal message more relevant than ever before.
