"Whether or not you know it, you’ve probably been influenced by the beliefs of the Gnostics and their powerful grasp over aspects of Western spirituality. Many schools of metaphysics, the occult, mystical teachings, and even fraternal organizations and secret societies have borrowed heavily from Gnostic teaching. It’s impossible to do justice to Gnosticism in a single article, but I’ll do my best to introduce you to some of the basic concepts, leaving further research to those spurred on by the mysteries inherent in the Gnostic world. Any personal work done, if seriously approached, must serve to improve the understanding and knowledge of the student.” - Mo Abdelbaki

The term "gnostic" derives from "gnosis," which means "knowledge" in Greek. The Gnostics believed that they were privy to a secret knowledge about the divine, hence the name.
It is understood as one of the oldest versions of the christian religion and perhaps that it even dates back to pre-christian times.

More than anything it’s a cosmology of the universe and a mythical way of seeing how the world came to be including the dualistic nature from which all things in this material world are separated into.

In this episode:

Gnosticism helped Miguel to see the bigger picture - a holistic view of the Universe.
The Myth of Inanna and her relevance to everything.
Why Gnosticism matters and why it is considered an ecstatic and shamanistic religion
How The Goddess Sophia comes to awaken the divine soul and restore the universe.
How the Gnostics face the "horror and the holy" of the Universe
How Gnosticism helps us hold the darkness and light in order to find the middle path
Why it was said that "Modern man can’t see God because he doesn't look low enough”
How Miguel became a gnostic and how being a “misfit” paved the way to bigger questions.
What drove him was the question "What is the nature of evil and suffering?”
The Gnostic Philosophies and their application to todays world
Leaning into a divine feminine aspect and how the gnostics differ from traditional Christian interpretations
Much of Jungs work is derived from the Gnostics - depth Psychology in particular followed the premis “go within to discover the truth”
The counterfeit self that keeps us locked into the matrix- living on the surface of life vs. the ego death which then gives us access to the deeper secrets of the soul.
The gnostics knew that we are not our identities - but instead the divine spark with vast and infinite capacities
The Gnostics believe we all have a destiny that is part of the restoration of the Universe.
If the exterior is all an illusion, then the way to find the true reality is within us- where the true universe resides.

"We did not come to this world to be good, but to be ourselves.” - Jung

If the exterior is all an illusion, then the way to find the true reality is within us- where the true universe resides.
Gnosticism helped Miguel to see the bigger picture - a holistic view of the Universe.

Episode 136: Veronica Wirth - The Athena Matrix & The Creative Energy of Chaos

Monica Rodgers | Revelation Media LLC — Wed, 20 Jul 2022 00:00:00 -0400

"As the old ways of ruling and operating crumble and we consciously co-create from our hearts and souls the new world we truly want to inhabit, we are called to also learn new ways of being, new habits that can hold and nurture this growth. As more of Who We Truly Are is called on line, we are served best when we learn how to work with our energy and consciousness, for this is where we will be creating from as we go forward. This is Energy Mastery - a concept and phrase that was given to me by my guides last year to encompass the new skills we must learn if we are to become the galactic citizens of light we came here to embody!"

I love Veronica Worth - she's a joy to talk to and so grounding and inspiring!

In this episode, we talk about this incredible time in our collective evolution and why Veronica sees it as the dissolution of the toxic matrix of patriarchy and the new emergence of a positive network formed by the feminine.

Hear us talk about:

Energy Mastery
The Athena Matrix - what it is and how it's impacting us.
The creative energy of chaos and how to navigate these challenging times
Why our emotions and fears are all getting stirred up and brought to the surface
3D, 5D, & The Shuman Resonance
Sacred Goddess Energy and our role in anchoring it through our bodies
Why Athena - and her mythology is essential right now for women and understanding ourselves
Why women's circles are so powerful and healing

Veronica is a shamanic practitioner, business visionary, and intuitive. She is also a Certified Sourced™ Leader, best-selling author, and founder of Evolvative™ and the Athena Matrix™.

Episode 86: Sarah Durham Wilson - Heartbreak as a Rite of Passage

Monica Rodgers | Revelation Media LLC — Wed, 04 Aug 2021 00:00:00 -0400

When I experienced my first dark night of the soul in 2008, it would have been so helpful to know that what I was experiencing was a rite of passage and a descent that would assist me in my ascent into greater awareness and consciousness.

What I was experiencing was a transition that had me face and heal my inner wounded maiden so that I could cross over into the mother archetype and change my life for the better.

When I stumbled upon Sarah’s work, I felt so deeply seen and nourished. In addition to the fact that she helped me understand my journey at a deeper level, she is also a wealth of information, teachings, and stories about the goddess, the divine feminine, the heroine's journey. She also mentors women on their own paths. What I love the most about Sarah is her potent story-telling and her raw authenticity. I hope you love listening as much as I loved interviewing her.

Sarah Durham Wilson is a women’s rites of passage leader and writer. She is the founder and creatrix of The MotherSpirit, which focuses on archetypal Mother work and resurrecting the rite of passage from Maiden to Mother. Sarah works with private clients and has taught courses and led retreats for hundreds of women over the past decade. She previously worked as an arts and music writer in New York City, writing for Rolling Stone, VH1, GQ, Vanity Fair, and Interview Magazines. In 2010, she launched the website DOITGIRL, which inspired women called to the work of the witch and priestess. She lives on Martha’s Vineyard with her daughter Avalon and her black cat, Odin.

Listen in as we explore:

Heartbreak as a rite of passage.
Why do women keep choosing the same type of men again and again - especially abusive or narcissistic men?
If we were raised in a patriarchal house, did we ever truly experience what love is?
Why does it feel like a death when you are rejected or left behind?
What is “the wounded maiden,” and why is she so thirsty for love and validation from the outside world?
What does it mean for us that we live in a matricidal and misogynistic culture?
Why is nature so essential to the unbecoming process and untangling from the clutches of patriarchal conditioning?
Why learning to love and accept ourselves in our full self-expression and for our whole selves is the deepest and most authentic love we will ever know.
