Like the rest of the Bible, the New Testament is both a history of consciousness and a manual for mind control. Navigating this duality can provide insights into our psyche and its programming. Was Paul a mystic or a madman? Was Jesus a magical healer or a fancy myth? Are biblical miracles heaven-sent or just part of the arsenal of timeworn apologetics? We take the middle path on these issues and more, all to hopefully address of our own magic, miracle, and madness.
