"A prince, a path, and the pursuit of enlightenment—what can Buddhism teach us about living in the modern world?"

Drawing from The Dhammapada and The Gateless Gate, we delve into Buddhism’s core teachings, the struggle against inner demons like Mara, and the path to liberation. Along the way, we consider Buddhism’s influence on Western spirituality and its intersections with other faiths.

Is it a lost gospel, a scandalous forgery, or the biggest twist in biblical history? The Secret Gospel of Mark is as controversial as it is intriguing, and in this episode, we’re peeling back its layers to uncover the truth—or at least the wild theories surrounding it. Allegedly discovered through a letter attributed to Clement of Alexandria, this fragment hints at hidden mysteries, unconventional interpretations, and even suggestive scenes involving Jesus and a naked young man.

But what’s the truth behind this enigmatic text? Is it an authentic piece of lost scripture, an early example of Gnostic influence, or a blatant forgery meant to stir the pot of faith? We’ll dive into the historical context, the motivations of those who might have created or preserved such a text, and why it didn’t make the canonical cut.

And here’s where it gets spicy: We’ll explore how the Secret Gospel of Mark has been interpreted—sometimes outrageously—over the years. Through a playful reading of the text as erotica, we’ll highlight the absurdities of over-interpretation and the dangers of reading hidden meanings where they may not exist.

Plus, we’ll segue into a broader discussion on closed practices, why some spiritual traditions remain guarded, and how the boundaries of faith intersect with personal discernment. Finally, we wrap up with a recommendation to check out the proper interpretation of the Secret Gospel of Mark by Joseph Lumpkin on Audible, narrated by Dennis Logan, for a deeper dive into Gnostic thought.

If you’ve ever wondered about the intersection of history, faith, and interpretation—or you’re just here for the intellectual rollercoaster—this episode is for you. Stay curious, seekers. Let’s unravel the mystery together.
