John Lamb Lash – July 2018

Why My Version of Gnosticism is Appealing

Video Description: Radio Gaianym & John Lamb Lash discuss why he thinks his version of Gnosticism has a particular and unique appeal to the world today.

Reference: Jackson Crawford teaching and reciting Norse runes. The passage describes two shamans of the Nordic tradition, Odin (man) and Saga (woman) entering the Organic Light and drinking the elixir of life from the Grail. Timecode 2m 5s: Stanza 7 Grimnismal, describing an initiation trance. “Svalar unnir” he comments is a stock runic phrase, meaning “cool waves.” A common phrase in Nordic shamanic poetry, he says. The cool waves are the undulant ripples of the Organic Light that flow over the initiate in ecstatic cognition.
