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.

177: The Alchemy of the Imagination
http://c-realmpodcast.podomatic.com/entry/2009-10-28T08_27_05-07_00
In this Halloween episode of the podcast, KMO welcomes Erik Davis back to the program to discuss pulp horror author H. P. Lovecraft, who has achieved an astonishing level of posthumous legitimacy and is now recognized as a seminal influence on the development of horror fiction and popular culture. In the second half of the discussion, KMO and Erik use the themes explored in Lovecraft’s work as a jumping off point for a more general discussion of the role of the human faculty of imagination.

Right Where You Are Sitting Now: EPISODE 26 - The Three Stigmata of Phillip K. Dick, with Erik Davis
http://sittingnow.co.uk/archives/863 This week we dream of android-sheep, with cultural critic and social theorist Erik Davis. In this (the first of many we hope) interview, we decided to focus on Erik’s study of visionary-author Phillip K. Dick, as well as a brief look at Davis’ own ‘Techgnosis’ studies. In this episode we discuss: Phillip K. Dick’s bizzare life, the ‘pink laser’ experience, the Valis-trilogy, Dick’s exegesis, Technosis and much more.

Esoteric California - Visionary State at the Philosophical Research Society
From http://techgnosis.com/chunkshow-single.php?chunk=chunkfrom-2009-04-21-1840-0.txt
I have given many talks on the history of California spirituality based on my book The Visionary State. Probably the best was the following lecture, which I gave on March 15 at the Philosophical Research Society, which was founded by the great Angeleno esotericist Manly P. Hall. It focuses on the esoteric and magickal currents that manifested themselves in California, and dives beneath the history to get at the furtive spirit of the place. The recording is a little spotty at the very beginning, but then you should be good to go. Introduction made by the scintillating Maja D’Aoust. Check it.
