Mitch Horowitz on The Lefthand Path: Power and Dignity

I’m always thrilled when my friend Mitch Horowitz arrives at the Virtual Alexandria. He’ll discuss his fantastic new book, Esoterika: Formulas Against the False Self. We’ll investigate the practical application of inner and hidden philosophies to dismantle the automaticity of existence and confront the artificiality of modern life. You’ll discover astringent self-development formulas that prioritize tangible results over mere recitation, fostering a path toward greater personal agency and dignity. By exploring the intersections of ancient ethics and causative rituals, seekers are challenged to move past mechanical habits to achieve a more truthful and expressive state of being.

On this Black Iron Prison Intercept, the topic couldn’t be more appropriate. I’ll take you on a deep dive into the life, work, and metaphysical worldview of Philip K. Dick. We’ll explore his prophetic fictional themes — surveillance, AI, simulated reality, and corporate control — alongside the mystical visions that shaped his late philosophy. I’ll also delve into his self-developed Gnostic cosmology, including concepts like VALIS, the Plasmate, the Black Iron Prison, the Christ-Sophia Syzygy, and his theory of anamnesis as spiritual awakening. We’ll conclude by connecting his personal tragedies, literary output, and visionary experiences into a unified portrait of a writer who saw himself as a vessel for restoring ancient Gnostic truth to the modern world.

The mighty Alex Rivera arrives at the Virtual Alexandria to shake up Gnostic and Platonic studies with groundbreaking research the world has never seen. We’ll quest into the heart of Gnosticism and its essence and purpose. We’ll also cover the Gnostic Melchizedek, a figure far more fascinating than orthodoxy has told us. And we’ll encounter many other figures, Neoplatonic exemplars, the machinations of the Archons, Hekate, and the role of Baphomet, much of it based on his game-changing book, The Sun Lady Unveiled.

Dive into the fascinating intersection of consciousness and creativity where the dreamworld becomes a personal “Choose Your Own Adventure” playground. For this dream, I’m joined by Dave Green to discuss Doodles in the Dark, An Artist’s Guide to Lucid Dreaming. We’ll investigate unique methods, focusing on the thrill of creating art directly within a lucid state rather than simply drawing after the fact. We discuss practical nightly routines such as using “interdimensional dream stationery” to maintain a sense of continuity between physical and dream realities. And we’ll navigate everything from interactions with unpredictable dream characters to the profound meditative stillness of the “lucid void”.

It’s always an honor when Angel Millar materializes at the Virtual Alexandria, this time to discuss his new book, Supernatural Woman and the Male Initiate. He’ll explore the “magical woman” archetype, examining how beings such as muses, goddesses, and sorceresses serve as vital bridges to the divine and the unconscious. We’ll investigate how ecstatic states, dream encounters, and sexual mysticism have historically acted as catalysts for profound personal initiation and spiritual transformation. By tracing these themes through ancient Norse sagas, Greek philosophy, and medieval legends, the series reveals how a bond with the supernatural can awaken a person’s latent creative genius.
