Old Video

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Back in 1994 e.v., while I was still G.S.G. (and before U.S.G.L. had even been formed), I gave a lecture on the Gnostic Mass in East Chicago, IN. The Local Master at the time videotaped that lecture. That (rather poor-quality) video has now surfaced
