On this episode of the Gnostic Deluge, we discuss the most famous text in Christianity- the Semon on the mount (Matthew 5-7). In it, Jesus lays out the blueprint of how his followers are to act. It goes much deeper than the common things that are quoted and known by most people. Hopefully our discussion will make you think on just what attitudes one needs to cultivate to be a true follower of Christ according to His own words. Enjoy!

On this episode of the Gnostic Deluge, we are finishing what we started last episode as we cover the second half of Arnold Bennett's "How to Live on 24 Hours a day." Arnold showed us that we have time that we don't use productively as we are wrapped up in our daily work; now it is time to take back some of that time. We can use the reclaimed time to start to develop, control, expand and explore our mind and begin to make the most of all 24 hours a day. Enjoy!
