Gnosticism and The Gospel of Judas

Tonight we explore the life and works of the most visionary sci-fi writer of all time. There is something about the minds of madman geniuses that never fails to fascinate. Philip K. Dick created some of the most celebrated science fiction stories of all time. From The Man in the High Castle to Total Recall; Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (better known as Bladerunner); The Minority Report; A Scanner Darkly; The Adjustment Bureau and so many more. He has inspired and influenced countless other writers and storytellers. He also lived a life troubled by drug addiction and mental illness. He described many paranormal events and often seems to have seen into a higher reality that he struggled to describe. Come learn with us about the life, the works and the untimely demise of this giant of cerebral fiction.

Tonight we explore the subject of giants throughout history. Every culture seems to have preserved a history of humans who were much larger physically than modern men. Why do we all share this common legend and could there be giant humanoids still alive today? We explore the ancient histories as well as some more modern reports including the bigfoot mystery around the Mt. Saint Helen's eruption and the so-called Kandahar Giant.

Join us in a wide-ranging discussion that revolves around the philosophical aspects of A.I. What does it mean if a machine becomes conscious? How will we relate with them (assuming we're not wiped out immediately)? How can we prove that an A.I. is conscious if we can't even be sure other humans are? Does our future include sentient robot friends with godlike powers? Please forgive the sudden ending to the show as Alex's mic cut out without us noticing.

This gospel gives us a look at the childhood of Jesus. Surprisingly, Jesus is portrayed to have been not just a precocious child but sometimes a downright vicious one. Enjoy this thought provoking ride with us and don't check your sense of humor at the door!

Join us in reading the story of Jesus' family and the life of Mary.

We are joined by a professional astrologer who attempts to explain the basic concepts for us. Alex was unable to get to the studio this week but we expect him back next week to take another run at more of the Gnostic gospels.

This week we invited a professional astrologer to draw up birth-charts for Vladimir Putin of Russia and Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine. She was in-studio with us to give her insights and predictions in this topical episode. She even made a chart for Adolph Hitler and made some comparisons. (We'll let you guess with whom.)

Throughout time in every culture people tell stories about ghosts. Some insist they are real while others present them fiction. If they are real, what are they? Join us for a conversation of stories and speculations about this phenomenon that haunts the entire world. 

This week we talk about Tarot cards. What is their history and why were they created? How are they different from common playing-cards? Are they just for divination or do they have a deeper meaning? Then we begin a card by card exploration of the Major Arcana from the popular Rider - Waite deck.

Tonight's discussion revolves around the life and teachings of Gautama Buddha. What do we know about the actual man? We talk about some of the concepts behind Buddhism and Enlightenment and how they relate to modern spiritual thinking. And of course we wander off into the weeds to talk about Heaven, Reincarnation and the nature of guardian angels.
