Interest in Gnosticism and Gnostic texts has exploded since the discovery of the Nag Hammadi Library. However, Gnostic Scriptures began to be discovered as early the 18th century. In 1769, a Gnostic codex came to light that combined ancient mystical ascent literature, gnostic cosmological speculation of the lower Aeons and celestial "Treasuries of Light," along with the quasi-magical rituals, baptisms, ciphers and seals to ascend into the realm of Light. These two incredibly complex volumes are now known to scholars as the Books of Jeu, after the Demiurge of the text, and are not only the most complete and complex manuals of ritual ascent but also the only illustrated Gnostic texts from antiquity. Join me as I explore one of the most complex and yet understudied texts of ancient Gnosticism - the 2 Books of Jeu.

What do you think of a buddy movie called "Shamir and Leviathan's great adventure" IDK, the shamir escapes Asmodius and takes up an unlikely friendship with the gruff loner Leviathan who thinks it can be happy alone under the sea. Shamir has to hold on to Levathan as the beast swims as great speeds.

I'm always captivated by your videos, Dr. Sledge. My eyes are glued to the screen as soon as you start talking. I've been studying arcane and esoteric texts ever since I was exposed to the Greek Magical Papyri a few years ago when I was an undergraduate. To this day, it blows my mind just how much ancient literature like this is out there, how much of it is largely inaccessible to a wider audience - and how much, perhaps, still lays dormant, just waiting to be unearthed, translated, and disseminated. Your analyses serve not only to democratize this knowledge, but you provide a certain humor and candor to your observations which make for an enjoyable and lucid discussion on the contents and implications of otherwise nebulous and torturously impenetrable bodies of literature. Plus, anyone who provides sources in the video description is a good egg in my book.

Thanks for all you do, Doc! Both the topic of mysticism and this channel are relatively new to me, so the extensive back-catalog has become my go-to content to listen to during the grind of my day job. Thus, the majority of the time I spend experiencing Esoterica content is through listening rather than watching. I'd put off this video when it showed up in my feed specifically because that word "illustrated" in the title suggested I'd want to experience it visually, and I'm glad I did, because I hadn't realized just how much visual humor I was missing! The "wifi password" gag absolutely sent me and now I look forward to reexperiencing some of my faves with a proper watch-through. 😂

As a Ninties teenager, I chuckle-snorted about the Final Fantasy comment. If you played through FFVI and FFVII, you got the best cuts. Sakaguchi and crew were at their best back then. Going back to play FFVII as a forty-something (!) after having experienced other stories (fiction and nonfiction), the series shows it's age. Not knocking the series though, as the games were important to me back when I was a moody teenager trying to disconnect from all of the high-stakes drama and stress of secondary school (lol). I have heard that FFX and the MMO (FFXIV?) have good stories, though. Unfortunately, I don't have 300-700 hours to blow on them anymore. Maybe I'll have time to get caught up on the 25 or so games I missed ... in the afterlife. I should have plenty of time to burn there.

I've always been interested in Religious Studies. More than just what one specific religion teaches, because how do we truly know what a higher power really wants from us? However, the biggest problem I have with all of it is that, if a higher power gave us knowledge, and taught it to people to pass to others, why is it only truly accessible by 'smart' people who can decipher these riddles once 'uncovered'? This seems to be a constant with most religious texts. How can a simple man ever achieve any kind of path to a better after life?
