If their are anyone interested in the Gnostic's You must listen to this program, which was from BBC Radio 4 www.bbc.co.uk/religion/programmes/beyond_belief/ Then click on the Monday 07 March 2005 program about the Gnostic's, it was a good debate.a little one sided only 1 Gnostic and 2 others who disagreed, but felt the Gnostic was the heavyweight versus 2 blinkered-featherweights:-)))))

I have not clicked the link yet, but the thing about Gnosticism is that it works.
Now a few hundred years back I may well have been burnt at the stake for saying this, but it is true, and no fearful dictorial oppression can ever take away something that naturally works. Which is why it cannot be eradicated.
You can impose beliefs through fear, but you cannot eradicate a natural method of enlightenment.

I am a bit new here and have been digging through your vast archives but I haven't seen this link yet www.gnosis.org/lectures.htmlthis brings you to an archive of Lectures on Gnosticism by Dr. Stephen Hoeller The Gnostic Bishop of the Ecclesia Gnostica in Los Angelos. Dr. Hoeller also used to write for a great magazine called Gnosis that was published in the late 80's and 90's here in the States. Anyways there are many great free Lectures here and the ones for sale are very cheap ( I think $4.95 USD)

There are a few (and I try and be accurate) available for free (in exchange for your email address).
From your post, pbezhouz, it may be surmised that you are somehow involved with either Stephen Hoeller or the Ecclesia Gnostica. So pray tell us any connection of this group with any derivatives of the OTO or its originators.

on the side bar there are roughly 14 free hour long lectures & 2 featured lectures lectures in the the center. scrolling through the archieves you can find others.
I have no involvemnt with Mr Hoeller except that I have read some of his writtings over the years and find him to be an extremely intellegent and funny lecturer. I do not necessarily agree with his views. I do not belong to the Ecclesia Gnostica or the OTO I never really have read any Crowley except the Diary of a Drug fiend back when I was in college.
My own spiratual beliefs are somwhat in flux but if you really need to know I gues the best definition would be a Roman Catholic Swedenborgian Sufi.

Maybe you have the OTO's Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica which was an offshoot of Jules Doinel's French Gnostic Church(which was hardly a brand of traditional Gnosticism) confused with the Ecclesia Gnostica of Stephan Hoeller.
