Gnosticism has manifested in American culture in disturbing and amazing ways. And it’s more predominant than you can imagine. Get ready to savor some gringo Gnosis, whether in the literature of Herman Melville, Cormac McCarthy, Philip K. Dick, and other literary giants; or in socio-political movements, alternative Christian factions, and the Western/Noir genres. From the founding of the USA to The Matrix, Simon Magus and Helen secretly rule North America.Astral Guest – Dr. Arthur Versluis, author of American Gnosis: Political Religion and Transcendence and Professor and Department Chair of Religious Studies in the College of Arts & Letters at Michigan State University.Homepage: https://thegodabovegod.com/Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/aeonbyteAB Prime: https://thegodabovegod.com/members/subscription-levels/Virtual Alexandria Academy: https://thegodabovegod.com/virtual-alexandria-academy/Voice Over services: https://thegodabovegod.com/voice-talent/Astro Gnosis (Meet the Archons): https://thegodabovegod.com/meet-archon-replay/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/aeon-byte-gnostic-radio/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
