268: Illumination

Ryan and Alex explore the 13th Hermetic text, The Secret Sermon on the Mountain, and its teachings on spiritual transformation and illumination. They dive into mystical and visionary experiences, macrocosmic perception, ancient magic, and the nature of consciousness, along with death and rebirth as a process of spiritual transformation. The conversation explores what it means to be born again as God, the Initiatic tradition of Atlantis, righteousness and Virtue, Christlike consciousness, and the path toward a deeper understanding of the divine within.
