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Philosopher Pierre Grimes joins Jeffrey Mishlove to discuss his unpublished manuscript, a dialogue between Jesus and Socrates in heaven, which portrays Jesus as a Gnostic-style philosopher whose teachings were distorted by followers,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.
David Crawford on Near Death Experiences & How To Escape the Loosh Matrix
Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioSep 29, 2026
David Crawford, a former Zen monk raised on Gnostic ideas, describes a five-day near-death experience in 2024 after alcohol-induced bleeding varices nearly killed him. Instead of white light or angels, he found a shabby, bureaucratic overlay of his hospital staffed by indifferent 'psychopomps' who seemed intent on erasing his memory and pushing him into a new body. In his book 'A Manual for the Dead', he frames the afterlife as a soul-recycling system run by apathetic archon-like middle managers and offers four keys for keeping your sovereignty after death.
The Ancients Glitched Reality: Psyops Entities & Consciousness | Chase Hughes
Third Eye DropsSep 22, 2026
Behavioral expert Chase Hughes describes how temporal lobe seizures and a five-hour intravenous DMT session, in which mantis-like beings seemed to perform surgery on him, convinced him that reality is consciousness rather than matter. He and host Michael break down how psyops work and argue that the current wave of government UFO disclosure looks like a public market test, not genuine whistleblowing. Along the way they draw on Hermetic principles, Plato's cave, Gnostic texts, the Telepathy Tapes, and claims of hidden Egyptian-style artifacts in the Grand Canyon.
Micah Dank on The Blueprint of This Dimension: Ancient Zodiac Code
Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioAug 8, 2026
Researcher Micah Dank presents 'Micah's Law,' a fixed, repeatable method he says can detect zodiac and constellation patterns built into literature, from Sumerian hymns to the Bible to modern newspapers. After 14 years of cataloging celestial keywords across nearly 5,000 years of texts, he reports that sacred and esoteric writings show far more organized 'celestial narrative architecture' than modern novels or newspaper controls, and that the Gospel of Matthew is the only work that reads as a complete sun-through-the-zodiac story. He argues this creates an 'Abrahamic problem': Judaism, Christianity, and Islam condemn astrology, yet their founding scriptures appear to be structured around the heavens.
Ian Purdie on The Roman Heist: The Supressed Eastern Teaching of Jesus & Mary Magadalene
Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioJul 22, 2026
Historian, musician, and longtime Buddhist tantric practitioner Ian Purdie argues that Yeshua (Jesus) studied with Buddhists in India during his 'lost years,' survived the crucifixion, and married Mariamne (Mary Magdalene). He uses the Talpiot tomb, the Shroud of Turin, and Gnostic texts like the Gospel of Philip and Gospel of Thomas to argue that Yeshua was a tantric master whose teachings Rome later rebuilt into a political state religion. The conversation ranges from Constantine's merging of sun worship and Mithraism to Knights Templar tomb raiding, Elohim as a plural, and the nature of awareness versus consciousness.
