Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained are pivotal pieces of English literature…and they’re Gnostic?! Yes, claims Dr. Paul Robertson in his paper with Gabrielle Scott titled “Gnostic Thought in Milton’s Paradise Lost: Descent, Creation, Materialism, and the Eve-Sophia Parallel.” Paul guests on Talk Gnosis to drop this epic discovery about these epic poems. Virgil-like, he takes us through Milton’s remarkable synthesis of Gnostic ideas about divine descent, materiality, and salvation. From the Son’s role as a lower creator deity to Eve’s parallel with Sophia, Robertson illuminates how Milton wove ancient Gnostic themes into his masterworks. Don’t miss this revelation of how one of the greatest works in the canon draws on some of the West’s most controversial early traditions. -Deacon Jon shaking his fist at the heavens- “Better to reign in the Hell of low audience and low revenue esoteric content than serve in the Heaven of popular conspiracy content falsely labelled Gnostic.” But seriously, this turned out to be a really fun one and it won’t feel like homework so check it out!

Make sure you check out Part 1 of this topic at https://pod.link/845230843/episode/d9d2540d29bb691ffe013116420423ba We’re back with M.R. Osbourne to talk about the profound mysteries and codes hidden in a William Blake painting and what it has to do with a cobbler who changed history. Jakob Böhme, a 16th-century German mystic and cobbler, developed a complex theological system that influenced everyone from William Blake to Karl Marx. Through his mystical insights and experiences, Böhme sought to explain the existence of evil and humanity’s path to reintegration with the divine. The conversation explores Böhme’s unique understanding of good and evil as necessary coexisting forces within creation, his concept of the “Dark World,” and his influence on later esoteric thinkers like Swedenborg and Hegel. Osbourne illuminates these complex ideas through the lens of Blake’s artwork, demonstrating how Blake visually represented Böhme’s principles of divine essence and spiritual transformation.
