Mitch Horowitz materialized at the Virtual Alexandria to discuss the new documentary, The Kybalion. He discussed his role in the film, including his experiences visiting Egypt, as well as the text itself. Is it Hermetic? Genuine or later writing?

We discussed other esoteric topics, including his latest finding on ESP, and for some reason, the Gnosis of the rock band Kiss. More information on Mitch Watch the movi...

Matthew Landman, director of FrankenSkies, joined us to make the case the environmental and psychic war is lost or won in the skies. While we fight on the ground, the archons have been busy polluting the heavens to make them in their own image. Furthermore, we talked about the spiritual aspects of conspiracies. Do they lead to madness or simply an intensely lucid kind of activism civilization needs right now – before it’s too late? This is a partial show. For the second half of the interview, pl...

Amanda Radcliffe and Andrew Phillip Smith joined us for a deep understanding of the Cathars. Furthermore, we countered the recent scholarship claiming that the Cathars never existed – but that they were merely heretical Catholics later sensationalized by esoteric romanticism. We didn't have time to fully delve into Mary Magdalene as we had planned, so expect a follow-up. This show is dedicated to the memory of Bishop Rosamonde Miller.

A mind virus is embedded in all our psyches, pied-piping humanity to the brink of extinction. Our blindness to it gives it destructive powers, even if we’ve known this cosmic spore as Archons, Kelipot, Nephilim, and other names. Yet by recognizing this highly contagious mental parasite, we can break free from its vampiric hold. We find the means of liberation, especially by understanding the insights of CG Jung, Philip K.

The figure of Lucifer has engrossed many major ideologies: Abrahamic religions, Occultism, Humanism, and Atheism. But what if these groups all missed the Charon boat when it comes to the true origins of Satan? We travel to ancient Sumer and Egypt to give some genuine sympathy to the Devil. What we find are antediluvian deities whose machinations became the varied template for the Morning Star. And yes, we’ll deal with the Light Bringer from a Gnostic perspective.

He discussed the intersection of art and magick that can engineer change socially, culturally, and within the individual.

How did Buddhism impact the Abrahamic religions and their mystery branches once it made contact with the west? Did it affect the Gnostics, or is Gnosticism just a continuation of the original Buddha teachings? Did Jesus kill Buddha on the road to Emmaus or take some of his sutras? We’ll get the answers and uncover how Buddha and Hermes might be the same figure, all part of global reform against orthodoxy that continues even today.

Chris Knowles joined us to discuss his landmark research on the nexus of magic and technology in modernity. From the elite’s continued usage of apotheotic ceremonial sorcery to alleged breakaway alien tech, we speculated on all high weirdness science under the black hole sun.
