Topic: Seances

White interprets Gnostic texts, such as the Gospel of Mary, as transcripts of seances rather than historical accounts. He argues that Gnostics believed Jesus could not exist in the physical world because the material realm was the flawed creation of the Demiurge. This perspective explains the chaotic mix of Gnostic terms like Archon and Demiurge, which emerged during a period of significant social and economic change in the Roman Empire.

A comparison is drawn between Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung regarding their engagement with the paranormal. While Freud experienced bizarre visions and hauntings—including a sighting of his own "shadow self"—he attempted to repress these events in favor of materialism. In contrast, Jung embraced his mystical experiences and background in seances, leading to a philosophy that has arguably remained more influential in modern spiritual circles.
