Ep 225 One World in a New World with Paul Joseph Rovelli

What happens when creativity, spirituality, philosophy, and lived experience collide in a single life? In this episode of One World in a New World, Zen Benefiel welcomes Paul Joseph Rovelli—author, musician, philosopher, and founder of the Gnostic Church of Light—for a wide-ranging conversation on genius, sovereignty, consciousness, and the lifelong journey of becoming fully oneself.

In this episode of One World in a New World, Zen Benefiel sits down with Paul Joseph Rovelli, founder and director of the Gnostic Church of Light, author, pianist, and host of The Gnostic Rebellion. What unfolds is a raw, intellectually rich dialogue exploring creativity, spirituality, individuation, sovereignty, art, mysticism, and the responsibility of self-creation.

Paul shares his journey through Catholicism, punk culture, philosophy, music, metaphysics, and Gnostic thought—examining how genius emerges, how identity is formed, and why true awakening requires ownership rather than belief. Together, Zen and Paul explore paradox, ego, oneness, duality, culture, and the challenge of remaining human, creative, and awake in a complex world.

This episode invites inquiry into:

The nature of genius and self-acknowledgment

Creativity as a spiritual path

Sovereignty, responsibility, and individuation

Why ancient wisdom must evolve for modern times

Consciousness, culture, and the myths we live by

This is not a conversation for passive consumption.

It is an invitation to think, feel, and question deeply.

If you’re curious about spirituality beyond doctrine, leadership beyond conformity, and the courage it takes to fully claim your own path—this dialogue invites you in.
