PD Newman on Mystic Portals, Shamanism & Native Afterlife Journey

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.

Archons flee as Dr. David Litwa once again graces the Virtual Alexandria. Let’s understand Gnosis in the most historical yet intimate way, based on David’s new book, Understanding Gnosis. Yet this spiritual tech didn’t happen in a vacuum, so we’ll unearth key concepts like the Divine Spark, the evil Demiurge, syncretism, and more. Did this mode of divine knowledge happen before the Gnostics, perhaps in ancient Sumeria? How did Gnosis inform the political and moral views of Classical Gnosticism? Get ready for this and more answers, leading to better self-knowledge for you.

Not much I can say but share David Block’s chilling words: Kubrick's future is here, and we are in it and of it. In Kubrick's vision for AI, a metaphysical metaphoric dimension comes to the surface on the material plane. Do androids dream about electric sheep? If they do, they dream about the Demiurge connected to Saturn, connected to a false dream world with no hope for redemption. Do the human race share the same fate, or can we become something more? Are we destined for the gold room, or can we overcome it? Come and firewalk with me to the black sun and beyond!
