                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>On this episode of the Gnostic Deluge we are discussing the first two chapters of the Bhagavad Gita.</p>
<p>Prince Arjuna finds himself on one side of a dispute for a kingdom, two great armies are lined up on the battlefield, ready to fight to settle the argument.  In order to geta closer look at the enemy army, Arjuna has Sri Krishna drive his chariot between the two armies.  It is then that Arjuna sees that the other side is more than just the enemy, they are people that he grew up with and is related to.  With this realization, Arjuna loses his desire to fight.</p>
<p>Sri Krishna consoles Arjuna in the midst of the battlefield and begins to reveal that this battle is only a small part of the true fight that goes on in the heart of man.  The true battle is to understand and become who and what we truly are,</p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>

Enjoy!</p>

Enjoy!</p>

Also,  Dune, The Foundation, and Game of Thrones and why it is so hard to make a book into a movie.  Later we talk a little about the Masonic rites and Temple and eventually get into what we are going to be doing episodes on this year.  Enjoy!</p>

In 1842 he published the translation as the Book of Abraham which is now part of the LDS churches Pearl of Great Price and canonized scripture for the church.  Somethings we talk about in this episode will sound familiar, while others will be new and esoteric.  Enjoy!</p>
