Gnosis Now!
« on: March 18, 2019, 03:34:02 pm »
Years ago, Robert Anton Wilson's Maybelogic academy hosted a series of talks by Erik Davis called "Gnosis Now!"

It's an 8 part series which introduces gnosticism and gnostic texts. It touches on both the gnostics of antiquity, and modern gnostics like Phillip K Dick and Rene Daumal.

I really enjoyed this series -- it sparked my interest in a bunch of authors and related topics. I was just hunting for it and thought I should share--some of you might dig it.

I’ll give this a listen later on. Currently waiting on a bus to get home.

Interesting indeed. I'll give them an ear later.

Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.

BUMP! Cause this is one of my favorite podcast series.

And I keep running into these fantastic interviews with Erik Davis. I really enjoy his perspective.

Here's another kickass interview with him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=404&v=K_L-yj5hrjY

And here's a post where I point at a great Erik Davis podcast about Philip K Dick: https://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php/topic,38935.msg1441195.html#msg1441195
