The Monsters are Due on Night-Light with Mark Dawidziak

MARK DAWIDZIAK returns to further our appreciation of Halloween. What is interesting to note from Mark's expanded edition of "Everything I Need to Know I Learned in the Twilight Zone" is that he was friends and had extensive interviews with stellar sci-fi/horror authors Ray Bradbury and Richard Matheson. What was the key to their success? We'll move into other authors to put us into the seasonal mood such as Poe and Dickens. We plan on discussing the often overlooked terrifying movie "Duel" and cover some of Matheson's magnificent contributions to "The Twilight Zone."

The Mysteries of John the Baptist with Tobias Churton

The search for the real historical person known as John the Baptist and the traditions that began with him
Few Freemasons today understand why the most significant date in the Masonic calendar is June 24th--the Feast of the Birth of St. John the Baptist and the traditional date for appointing Grand Masters. Nor do many of them know that Masons used to be known as “St. John’s Men” or that John the Baptist was fundamental to the original Masonic philosophy of personal transformation.
Starting with the mystery of John in Freemasonry, Tobias Churton searches out the historical Baptist through the gospels and ancient histories, unearthing the real story behind the figure lauded by Jesus’s words “no greater man was ever born of woman.” He investigates John’s links with the Essenes and the Gnostics, links that flourish to this day. Exposing how the apostle Paul challenged John’s following, twisting his message and creating the image of John as “merely” a herald of Jesus, the author shows how Paul may have been behind the executions of both John and Jesus and reveals a precise date for the crucifixion and the astonishing meaning of the phrase “the third day.” He examines the significance of John’s severed head to holy knights, such as the Knights Templar, and of Leonardo’s famous painting of John. Churton also explains connections between John, the summer solstice, fertility rites, and ancient Jewish harvest festivals.
Revealing John as a courageous, revolutionary figure as vital to the origins of Christianity as his cousin Jesus himself, Churton shows how John and Jesus, as equal partners, launched a covert spiritual operation to overcome corruption in the Temple of Jerusalem, re-initiate Israel, and resurrect Creation.
