From Evolver Social Movement:

After 6 years in the making, Evolver co-founder Jonathan Talat Phillips is inviting all his prankster friends, political revelers, and evolutionary allies to celebrate the release of his new book, The Electric Jesus: The Healing Journey of a Contemporary Gnostic.

This potent and revealing memoir follows Jonathan’s journey with NYC’s radical media activists during the 2004 Republican National Convention through a challenging mystical initiation process involving underground ayahuasca ceremonies, kundalini awakenings, shape-shifting extraterrestrials at the Burning Man festival, and miraculous energy healings that led to him co-found the transformational web magazine Reality Sandwich and the Evolver Social Movement. Along the way, Phillips delves into his own Christian background, discovering the lost rites of the mystery schools and secret “electric” meanings behind biblical symbols such as the serpent, dove, and tree of life—offering profound alchemical messages for personal and global transformation and a potential evolutionary shift for our world.

Visionary artist and CoSM co-founder Alex Grey will kick off the night with a manifestation prayer, followed by a book reading and Q&A discussion between Alex and his wife and Cosm co-founder Allyson. Nightlight Astrology will give readings during the mingling portions of the evening. The Church of Earthalujah’s Reverend Billy will Occupy the Afterparty.
