Jon Di Luca on Aikido and Theurgy

Get ready for some Gnostic-ish topics as David Emery joins us to discuss his book, Beyond Biblical. Explore a groundbreaking perspective that dares to reveal humanity's true cosmic history, far beyond what conventional narratives have taught us about our origins and purpose. Uncover the magnificent story of our actual ancestors, Angelic Humans, and the ancient galactic wars and manipulations that deeply impacted their (and our) DNA and collective memory, reshaping the very fabric of our reality. Delve into how powerful, non-benign entities worked through human-hybrid elites to distort religious texts, suppress sacred sciences, and control societal structures, all to prevent our awakening to a deeper bio-spiritual evolution.

I’m very excited to host author Peter Bebergal. His work informed much of The Occult Elvis and is essential to my upcoming Bowie work, specifically his magnificent Season of the Witch: How the Occult Saved Rock and Roll. We’ll delve into the nexus of American music and spirituality, including the arcane forces that gave rise to the birth of rock music. We’ll certainly cover Hinduism in the Beatles, Thelema in Led Zeppelin, Occultism in Black Sabbath, and Masonry in Hip-Hop. And everything in between, with plenty about those Tricksters, Elvis and Bowie. Join me and either chat your questions or call in.

Feeling like you’re in a maze, especially in these apocalyptic times? How about I make an Astro Gnosis lecture public that will get you out of this cosmic Overlook Hotel labyrinth? Steven Snider unravels the deep symbolism behind the "Oubliette" — a recurring labyrinthine motif in art, literature, psychology, and pop culture. Inspired by haunting dreams and shaped by centuries of philosophical and artistic expression, let's journey through the architecture of the subconscious and the mythic roots of infinite reality. From Piranesi’s impossible prisons to Borges’ quantum labyrinths and Hellraiser’s mechanical horrors, Steven traces the Oubliette as a dark mirror of the human psyche. He weaves connections between surreal art, psychoanalysis, and mathematical paradoxes to explore how this ancient structure may be embedded in our very consciousness. Of course, he covers M. C. Escher.

The Virtual Alexandria welcomes Bernie Taylor for our Summer Solstice Special. As always, he’ll upturn conventional history with his sober research. We’ll find that humans practiced sophisticated spirituality during the Ice Age and when shamanism entered the anthropological and archaeological picture. Expect some mind-blowing understanding of cave paintings and astrological maps. Maybe we’ll find that monster squirrel looking for that nut.

Enjoy this special show where we took calls via phone and chat room. From the nature of Yawhe to the promise of Sophia, we covered a lot of ground. I was joined by all my wingmen, as well as my GenX Wasteland sidekick, Dr. Ray Taylor, who provided his unique take on esoteric Christianity. I’ve delivered plenty of news, but the audience had some incredible takes on Gnosis and Gnosticism. It was relaxed, fun, and incendiary, a Gnostic Festivus of sorts.

I never provide shorts here, but let me know if this is something you'd dig, oh, you heretics in the podcast domains. An electric short where Jason connects these three figures. He also takes us on a profound and sometimes shocking journey through Zoroastrianism, Taoism, and the Greco-Roman World.

The Demiurge & Cosmic Memory Wipe How did we get here, and what’s up with ‘em archons? What did we forget? For usable and profound answers, it’s always bigly when Kevin Cann materializes as the Virtual Alexandria. He’ll share that liberating Gnosis from Platonic Surrealism, and we’ll find many overlaps with Gnosticism and Neoplatonism. From black sludge monsters to actualizing your monad past existence, get ready to get in to get out, as Peter Gabriel sang. And understand why you fell into a simulation that is not a simulation.

Everyone is Gnosis fighting, as Jon Di Luca honors the Virtual Alexandria. He’ll explain why Aikido is not merely a martial art but a profound spiritual path rooted in Japanese esoteric traditions, designed to transform destructive martial ways into an "Art of Peace." Discover how practices like Chinkon Kishin and Kotodama profoundly shaped its founder's vision, leading him to perceive it as a divine transmission and a practice of theurgy to influence or communicate with divine forces. Learn how its techniques become vehicles for purification, harmonization, and unification with the sacred, making practice an embodied spiritual ritual for realizing one's divine nature and achieving inner knowing.
