Writer, journalist, and film critic John Semely is our guide to the power of being a hater, transcendence through art, how Gnosticism can be cool for atheists, why we need to get better at being critics, the Gnosis of cyberpunk and heavy metal, finding ourselves through movies, pop culture setting us free and then oppressing us, and as always... so much more!

The Apostolic Johannite Church is an esoteric, Gnostic, Christian community. Many of us seek a real spiritual community which is loving, inclusive, spiritually lively and empowering of people of all genders, races and sexualities, both rich and poor.
The Johannite tradition represents just such a community: founded by Saint John the beloved disciple of Jesus, rooted in the tradition of John the Baptist and guided by direct, experiential contact with the Divine, this tradition encourages personal responsibility and freedom of thought and practice.
