#85 - Gnosticism: Are We Living In A DEMONIC Simulation?

Welcome back to The New Age Sage! In this solo episode, I’m diving deep into the world of Gnosticism—one of the most misunderstood and complex spiritual doctrines. I’ll take you through my personal journey exploring Gnostic ideas, unpacking its core beliefs about a hidden supreme God, a deceptive creator, and our existence in a lesser reality. Gnosticism challenges the idea of a benevolent world, suggesting instead that we’re trapped in a realm dominated by suffering and illusion.

If you’ve ever wondered about the darker aspects of spirituality, felt disillusioned by traditional religions, or been curious about alternative spiritual paths, this episode is for you. I’m not just here to tell you what Gnosticism is—I’m here to challenge you to think about your own beliefs and confront the uncomfortable aspects of existence that we often avoid.
