Get ready for an inspirational, touching journey of awakening as Samuel Stirpe discusses his book, This Surrender: From Joseph Smith to Marcion: My Journey Out of Mormonism and Into the Arms of the Father of Jesus. Tracing a personal spiritual transition, this show follows a journey from an upbringing in Latter-day Saint culture and mission preparations to a period of secular atheism following a life-altering stroke. Sam’s narrative dives into a dramatic theological transformation sparked by discovering second-century Christian teacher Marcion of Sinope and esoteric Gnostic scripture. We’ll examine the key contrast between Jehovah—understood as a secondary creator or Demiurge governing the material realm—and the Monad, the transcendent Father of Light revealed by Jesus Chris. You are invited to explore deep themes spanning early Christian canons and divine emanations to modern simulation theory and the soul’s ultimate quest for Gnosis.

As promised, and overdue, I’m excited and honored to introduce Ravenna Dame to the world. Most of you know her as my “Gnostic Witch,” the individual who provided the protocol to heal my artery disease in ways modern science couldn’t match. That’s just the tip of the pleromic iceberg. She brings an entire agenda, commissioned by her channeling of Sophia, that includes AI destroying AI, the startling truth about Gnostic texts, and even when the mother of the Demiurge will return to claim her planet. Prepare to have your mind expanded and reality disbanded forever.

Can spirituality and entrepreneurship go hand in hand? That’s been an ongoing debate. For this issue, I’m excited to be joined again by Rizwan Virk to discuss his memoir, The Zen Entrepreneur and the Dream. Get ready for a wild ride of building a tech startup during the dot-com boom while exploring esoteric practices like lucid dreaming, synchronicities, and past lives. He’ll share how high-stakes venture capital decisions and personal relationship hurdles reflect deeper inner energetic patterns and karmic lessons. You’ll gain insightful strategies to “ride the dragon” of career turbulence instead of letting life’s recurring patterns consume you. Whether you are an ambitious founder, a spiritual seeker, or anyone striving to harmonize work and personal growth, this episode will inspire you to view waking life as a meaningful quest of self-discovery.

I’ve had to deal with the accusation that the Gnostics and Cathars never existed for years. So why not move on to the Essenes and Therapeutae? Dr. Ray Taylor joins me for this exploration, tapping into sound scholarship and his Zeroist method. We’ll go beyond these monastic sects and find the true mystic movements that predate and shaped Christianity, Islam, and rabbinic Judaism. All roads lead to Simon Magus, as I’ve always said, and we’ll take detours into the Mandaeans, John the Baptist, and the river tradition that made the Watchers shake in their cloudy boots. It’s all fun and games until someone loses a third eye, and then it’s just Gnosis.

We’ll explore Kabbalah’s Jewish roots and its influence on Western mysticism, while discovering the Tree of Life, the ten sefirot, Divine Names, and the Four Worlds.

Let’s have a wee spooky fun. For this celebration, I’m joined by psychic medium Allison Carmany. Beyond sharing her challenges and journey into becoming a spiritual visionary, she’ll give yours truly a reading and also reveal what’s going to happen to humanity in the next few years (and it will be challenging). We’ll discuss vampires and other scary aspects of The Shadow. As I say, variety is the spice of Gnosis, and you’ll get plenty on this special.

Way down below the ocean is where I want to be, Donovan sang about Atlantis, but where exactly is it under the ocean? Bernie Taylor sails into the Virtual Alexandria with new research that reveals the likely place the fabled city originally stood. We’ll investigate whether ancient philosophical descriptions of Atlantis align with physical, pre-Greek archaeological ruins destroyed by natural forces. By comparing accounts of red-painted stone architecture, bull worship, and regional geography, we explore whether a real prehistoric island inspired the legendary myth. We also examine celestial alignments and astronomical timing to uncover if forgotten megalithic temples hold the key to history’s most enduring mystery.

Of course, the archons weren’t going to let me sail away like Enya, so I’ll include their latest sidewinders in my life.

We go high into High Weirdness as writer and researcher Alan Berman arrives at the Virtual Alexandria. The Truman Show is not a Gnostic allegory? Is Jim Henson a man of deep Gnosis? We’re just getting started. Alan will share how psychological influence increasingly shapes media, politics, social platforms, and artificial intelligence, linking figures such as Michael Aquino, Paul Vallely, and Michael Flynn to manufacturing narratives and information systems that distract, polarize, and steer the public. He’ll also connect The Matrix and its Gnostic symbolism to Nick Land’s accelerationism, transhumanism, and elite quests for technological transcendence. Then we’ll get really started on grimmer realities and how to spot this mass social engineering.

David Crawford joins me to discuss A Manual for the Dead, a multidimensional account of his near-death experiences and the insights he gained into the nature of the afterlife. David will expose that the afterlife is a bureaucratic soul-processing facility rather than a peaceful paradise. You’ll discover how system entities disguised as comforting medical staff manipulate souls into memory erasure and forced reincarnation. Finally, the discussion delivers a practical strategy for utilizing memory, meditation, intention, and volition to assert sovereignty and escape the soul mill trap.

Alex Rivera joins me for an epic journey through history, drawing on his books like The Sun Lady Unveiled and one co-written with Tracey Twyman. He’ll explore the transformative journey of divine Wisdom across four distinct alchemical stages, moving from deep concealment to full embodiment. The journey begins within the dark prima materia of Templar trial mysteries, dissecting the conflicting accounts and symbolism surrounding Baphomet. It then traces the awakening of suppressed gnosis through the 700-year Cathar prophecy of return and Uriel’s angelic guidance. Finally, the discussion culminates in integrating sacred architecture and restoring the Tree of Life through the Infinity Working.

Here are his words: We have all been told the fairy tales. We know the story of Atlantis, sinking into the mythic past. We know the legends of lost cities punished by angry gods. Join me for an unprecedented journey into the forbidden history of the Baltic Sea. Through the lens of a forgotten Swedish folktale and a child’s prophetic dream, we will tear back the veil on the legendary city of Vineta. This is not a story of a natural disaster. This is the forensic reconstruction of a targeted, technological assassination. This is the story of the secret “Aetheric Grid”—the wireless, sonic technology that powered a metropolis of marble and light while the rest of Europe slept in the Dark Ages. This is the story of the proto-Templars and the true purpose of the Gotland merchant fleets. This is the story of the terrifying reality of “liquefaction warfare” and the sudden, unnatural storm that buried a utopia. They told you the city is dead. But if you stand on the coast of Gotland on a quiet night, and you know how to listen... the Great Bell is still ringing. Come hear the song they tried to drown! “They did not come with ships of wood, but with a wind that burned the lungs and a wave that boiled the stone. The great bell of the central spire, tuned to the harmony of the Mother, was struck by a dissonance so profound it shattered the crystal foundations. The sea did not rise; the Earth fell. As the waters rushed into the glowing streets, the priests of the Cross watched from the cliffs, their ledgers open, calculating the wealth of a world they had just murdered. The city sank, but the bell continues to toll in the dark.” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Let’s start fall and the Season of the Witch right with Jeff Belanger joining me to discuss his riveting new book, The World’s Most Haunted Places. We’ll embark on a global tour of history, the supernatural, and the macabre across battlefields, abandoned asylums, historic inns, and ancient catacombs. We’ll explore eerie encounters at iconic locations like the White House, the Queen Mary, and Edinburgh’s underground vaults. You’ll delve into local lore to show how lingering ghosts represent history demanding to be remembered. By setting aside religious dogma, these haunting stories explore our universal connection to the past and how we wish to be remembered.

In this intense Black Iron Prison Intercept, I’ll examine three early Gnostic retellings of Genesis—framing sexual violence as an instrument of imperial conquest and Archonic forces, while positioning Gnostic theology as counter-imperial survival literature. I’ll show how Gnostic works were ahead of their time psychologically and socially. We’ll also go on a quest on the topic of sexual assault in other mythologies and what they mean on a cultural and spiritual level. That which is shattered can be beautifully, intentionally mended. Much of this research is based on Celene Lillie’s book, The Rape of Eve.
