This is the second of eight lectures recorded last spring for a Maybe Logic Academy course called Gnosis Now! I will now continue my so far failed attempt to post one a week for the next eight weeks, along with the readings for the week.
The first few recordings are kinda crappy; they improve by week three but the completist in me urged posting nonetheless.
