Alan Watts On Gnosis And Dogma

I took the day off from recording, but that doesn't mean you won't be getting a new episode of The Alchemical Mind! For this special episode, I bring you a great speech by Alan Watts on the early Christian thought, the importance of gnosis in the early church, and its similarities to similar ideas from Buddhism and Hindu traditions. Then, Watts ties it all together in a nice little bow by discussing how true gnosis and dogma are not necessarily mutually exclusive, even though they may appear to be and why the pursuit of spiritual truth does not need to be tied to ritualistic boredom.
