‡ Welcome to the Deferred Gnosis Podcast ‡
We live in a world of gnosis deferred. We have come to a point in our societal evolution where self-awareness and existential cognizance are scarce; and now more then ever, we are desperately struggling to reconcile the ethical, moral, political, and religious shortcomings of our global zeitgeist.
The primary purpose of the Deferred Gnosis podcast is to bring together contrasting perspectives sourced directly from the fringe in order to deconstruct the preconceptions of our culture through the use of critical thought and passionate discourse. By relentlessly investigating the whys and wherefores most are unwilling to explore, we will grasp those fleeting eternal truths necessary to liberate us from the shackles of sedentary belief. Although we indeed live in a mad world, we will unravel the pervasive madness by sharpening reason against the whetstone of radical thought.
Deferred Gnosis is a topic-driven podcast that touches on subjects of philosophy, religion, alternative spirituality/occult practices, futurism, political discourse, current events, etc., with the occasional guest to contribute to the discourse. From time to time, we will devote a segment of the show to showcase underground music and art.
‡ The Host | Shea Bilé ‡
Shea Bilé is an author, lecturer, musician, performance artist, and podcast host. A researcher and devotee of esoteric practice for nearly 25 years, his committed adherence to subversive forms of spiritual expression has served as a vital foundation for his work.
He has delivered lectures and workshops internationally, with a focus on Left Hand Path occultism and religious heterodoxy, and has served as both a visiting professor and a guest lecturer at various universities. His writings have appeared in numerous print and digital publications, his most recent treatise being, “Friedrich Nietzsche and the Left Hand Path,” a book of occult philosophy published by Atramentous Press in 2023. His forthcoming work, “Hymns of the Red Dragon,” a daemonic hymnal, is to be published by Theion Publishing in 2024.
He is the host of the Deferred Gnosis Podcast, a show that explores fringe philosophical, spiritual, and religious subjects. As a ritual performance artist, he blends various forms of esoteric practice with transgressive ritual expression. His more notable musical artistic effort is delivered through his most recent album, Tzimtzum, which combines spoken word lyricism with neoclassical instrumentation.
He has been a guest on a multitude of podcasts and has been the subject of various articles and documentaries, many of which relate to his life, his art, and his expertise and experience in the realm of the occult and alternative spirituality. Profile pieces of which Shea Bilé has been the subject have appeared in Vice, the documentary series 60 Second Docs, and is soon to appear on the forthcoming AppleTV documentary series, The Secret Teachings of All Ages.
He is also the founder of the Occult Student Alliance, based at San Francisco State University in San Francisco, California; and The Black Sun Sect, based at KU Leuven in Leuven, Belgium – both are esoteric organizations created to provide an empowering and sympathetic community for those who feel called to a path outside of conventional spirituality.
Shea Bilé holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in religious studies from San Francisco State University, in San Francisco, California, and a Master of Arts degree in philosophy from The Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KU Leuven), in Leuven, Belgium.
