Episode 18 is PART 2 of the fascinating exploration of the basic ideas of Gnosticism. Chris and I talk about the introduction to Manly P. Hall's amazing book The Wisdom of the Knowing Ones.. The first portion of the book is a concise overview of Gnostic ideas written by a dear friend and colleague of the late Mr. Hall, Dr. Stephan Hoeller, Bishop of the Gnostic Church in Los Angeles. Some of the ideas and subjects we cover in this episode include: 

1st Century Roman World
The basic philosophies of Aristotle and Plato
Emanationism
Gnosticism; reconciler between Christianity and Pagan Worlds
Gnostic Cosmogony
Gnosticism and Esoteric Christianity
Gnosticism's hidden influences in the modern world
ABRAXAS 
And much more!
