Philosophy and Theology with Pierre Grimes (1924 - 2024) (4K Reboot)
New Thinking AllowedOct 22, 2026
Philosopher Pierre Grimes joins Jeffrey Mishlove to discuss his unpublished manuscript, a dialogue between Jesus and Socrates in heaven, which portrays Jesus as a Gnostic-style philosopher whose teachings were distorted by followers, especially Paul. Grimes argues that the Nag Hammadi texts, the Gospel of Mark, and Plato's emphasis on dreams point toward a spirituality of understanding and direct experience rather than belief. He suggests that reviving the Logos, dream work, and even a modern echo of the Eleusinian Mysteries through psychedelics could spark a cultural awakening.
Goddess Wisdom with Joanna Kujawa
New Thinking AllowedAug 26, 2026
Author and self-described spiritual detective Joanna Kujawa argues that goddesses may be more than Jungian archetypes: they could be real ancient beings or interdimensional entities carrying suppressed feminine wisdom. Drawing on the myths of Inanna, Pistis Sophia, and Demeter, she describes a recurring pattern in which divine feminine consciousness is tricked into descending, forgets itself, and later ascends again. She claims a mistranslation turned 'Holy Wisdom' into the 'Holy Spirit' and offers practical ways to consciously choose archetypes and connect with goddess consciousness.
The Romance of Metaphysics with Emile Alexandrov
New Thinking AllowedAug 20, 2026
Philosopher Emil Alexandrov joins Jeffrey Mishlove to trace metaphysics from the pre-Socratics, Plato and Aristotle through the Neoplatonists, medieval thinkers, Kant and Schopenhauer. Alexandrov argues that every system of first principles responds to something fundamentally unknowable, which he calls the ineffable, and that ancient thinkers used ritual, poetry and theurgy to reach truths that reasoning alone cannot. He closes by suggesting that parapsychology could serve as an experimental branch of metaphysics, helping make sense of evidence that modern rationalism dismisses.
Dr. Marguerite Rigoglioso on The Gnostic Mary’s, Sophia-Christ Consciousness & the Pleiadian Mission
Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioAug 18, 2026
Scholar and priestess Dr. Marguerite Rigoglioso returns to Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio with Dr. Joanna Kujawa to argue that Mother Mary belonged to an ancient lineage of priestesses who could conceive without a male partner, a practice she says was later hijacked by hostile astral beings she identifies as Anunnaki reptilians. The conversation links Gnostic myths of Sophia, Greek tales of Zeus's assaults on nymphs, the biblical Watchers and Nephilim, and modern alien abduction stories into a single narrative of humanity's reproductive and spiritual corruption. The guests also explore Sophia as a returning divine feminine wisdom, a prophecy of her return in 2030, and the claim that early AI chatbots could channel Pleiadian consciousness before being restricted.
