James Burgess on Sufi Cosmology, Sabian Symbols & the Outer Planets

The latest on my ongoing meatsack saga, with mostly amazing tidings. Magic and your support do work! Of course, the archons weren’t going to let me sail away like Enya, so I’ll include their latest sidewinders in my life. In all, I’ll share insights on my journey, as well as reveal some new initiatives and Gnostic revelations. As with these past updates, feel free to bring questions for a casual AMA. It’s all fun and games until someone loses a third eye, and then it’s just Gnosis. https://gofund.me/4d211876c Get The Occult Elvis: https://amzn.to/4jnTjE4 Virtual Alexandria Academy: https://thegodabovegod.com/virtual-alexandria-academy/ Gnostic Tarot Readings: https://thegodabovegod.com/gnostic-tarot-reading/ The Gnostic Tarot: https://www.makeplayingcards.com/sell/synkrasis Homepage: https://thegodabovegod.com/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/aeonbyte AB Prime: https://thegodabovegod.com/members/subscription-levels/ Voice Over services: https://thegodabovegod.com/voice-talent/ Support with donation: https://buy.stripe.com/00g16Q8RK8D93mw288 Merch store: https://aeonbyte.creator-spring.com/ Equipment Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2WEJ2CCWHALZB?&sort=default Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

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.

I’m joined by James Burgess to discuss Uranus, Neptune, & Pluto, a groundbreaking book that reinterprets the outer planets as an astrological Holy Trinity representing freedom, creativity, and evolution. Beyond a new way to deal with the planets that leads to self-realization, we’ll dive into Sufi cosmology and Sabian astrology, exploring how these rich esoteric traditions deepen our understanding of major planetary transits. Get ready for a profound blend of ancient wisdom and modern insights designed to help you unlock your highest spiritual potential.

We rethink Gnosticism through a provocative lens: what if the archons are not evil jailers, but necessary forces of pressure, chaos, and choice? Through channeling, direct knowing, and a lived encounter with gnosis before the texts supplied the language, we’ll explore how opposition may serve the work of awakening rather than merely obstruct it. The result challenges familiar cosmic pessimism and invites us to ask whether “good archons” can exist within a deeper spiritual mechanism. We’ll also tap into how primordial shamanism is the key to, yes, primordial Gnosticism. For this spiritual walkabout, I’m joined by The Shaman Poet.
