New Thinking AllowedAug 24, 2026
Gem dealer and author Robert Simmons tells psychologist Jeffrey Mishlove how a meditation with Moldavite, a green glass formed by a meteor impact, opened his chakras and turned him from a skeptic into a believer in stone energies. He links this to Jungian spiritual alchemy, the Emerald Tablet, the Holy Grail legend, and panpsychism. He also recounts a story in which a channeled angelic group called the Azez reportedly borrowed his missing phenakite stone and returned it, along with a new stone called Azeztulite.
Dr. Paul Bishop on Jung and Nietzsche: Alchemists of the Abyss
Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioJul 17, 2026
Scholar Dr. Paul Bishop discusses the third volume of his series 'Jung and the Epic of Transformation', which examines how Nietzsche's 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra' shaped Carl Jung's psychology and his visionary Red Book. Both men were sons of clergymen who descended into the 'abyss' of the unconscious. Nietzsche collapsed into madness, while Jung, grounded by family, profession, and community, returned to tell the tale. The conversation contrasts Nietzsche's proclamation that 'God is dead' with Jung's view that God is sick and must be healed, and explores the dangers and rewards of the inner journey.
