The Vestibule
by Andrew Rutajit (Author)
Andrew frequently writes about Christianity and its occult (or hidden) characteristics. This book will shed new light upon the popular (modern) interpretation of the Bible and various mysterious aspects of other religions.
A vestibule is a passageway leading from the outer door to the inner Shrine. The entrance to the great cathedrals and mystery schools were often guarded by gargoyles and adorned with mysterious symbols intended to frighten away the simply curious. This book, like a vestibule itself, is intended to serve as an introduction to a larger body of work. Some of these essays can be found online at Rutajit.com, while the rest are being released here for the first time.

Feature Length Documentary Film:
| The Pharmacratic Inquisition 2007 (DVD)
Andrew Rutajit (co-Producer, co-Author, Editor, Music) |
This DVD is the video companion for the book, AstroTheology & Shamanism.
Thousands of years ago, in the pre monarchic era, sacred plants and other entheogenic substances where politically correct and highly respected for their ability to bring forth the divine, Yahweh, God, The Great Spirit, etc., by the many cultures who used them. Often the entire tribe or community would partake in the entheogenic rites and rituals. These rites were often used in initiation into adulthood, for healing, to help guide the community in the decision process, and to bring the direct religious experience to anyone seeking it. In the pre literate world, the knowledge of psychedelic sacraments, as well as fertility rites and astronomical knowledge surrounding the sun, stars, and zodiac, known as astrotheology, were anthropomorphized into a character or a deity; consequently, their stories and practices could easily be passed down for generations. Weather changes over millenniums caused environmental changes that altered the available foods and plant sacraments available in the local vicinity. If a tribe lost its shamanic El-der (El - God), all of the tribe's knowledge of their plant sacraments as well as astronomical knowledge would be lost. The Church’s inquisitions extracted this sacred knowledge from the local Shamans who were then exterminated…It is time to recognize the fact that this Pharmacratic Inquisition is still intact and destroy it.

Viral Videos
I have also produced several online “viral videos” for Gnostic Media. Most of them are available on YouTube and iFilm
Before my first book was published, Jan Irvin and I gave our first lecture in Arlington Texas. I set up my camera, recorded the lecture and edited in some full screen graphics but in the end; the lighting was horrible, our lecture got cut short, and the video that I made was (in my option) a not what I had hoped. We put it online for people to watch and before we knew it, we had so many downloads, it crashed our server. So we decided to make the video again in a controlled environment and use this new video as a way find a sponsor, a publisher, or some financial assistance as we continued to write “Astro-Theology & Shamanism.” The Pharmacratic Inquisition 2004 is that video. Our original video can be found online but I, like most who have seen both, prefer this one. A short description of this video follows:This video was shot in April 2004 as a demo to gain interest and sponsorship while writing the book, Astrotheology & Shamanism. Now the video is online for free viewing. Please note that this video was shot on shoestring budget and was not intended for public release; the quality is a bit lacking but information makes up for that. For more information or downloads of this video, see the Pharmacratic-Inquisition.com website.
For this video, I remixed one of my favorite Shpongle songs and overlaid a Joe Rogan radio interview for the voice track. This was made with Joe Rogan’s permission but I never got a reply from the band. As a result, their music was used without permission. I now make my own music. A short description of this video follows:Joe Rogan was a guest on Jim Breuer's Sirius radio show where he discussed DMT, dreams, and the role humans play on this planet. Joe says, "It's easily the weirdest interview I've ever done, and definitely the most interesting." Words by Joe Rogan www.JoeRogan.net Music by Shpongle www.Shpongle.com Music Remixed & Visuals added at Gnostic Media www.GnosticMedia.com Edited by Andrew Rutajit © Gnostic Media 2007
This is a video montage for the Pharmacratic Inquisition video, set to the music of "Leading" by the band Revolve. This video was created to generate some interest and drive some people to the free Pharmacratic Inquisition 2004 video. The full length video is quite long so I made this music video as a way to artistically summarize the actual lecture.
This was my first attempt at a “viral video.” I grabbed one of my essays from my website, reworded it a little bit, read it into my microphone, and edited some video together. I then created and added a music track and uploaded it to the internet. It was easier than I expected and it was getting more attention than I had expected…so I called Jan and told him that we should do one of these short videos together.
Jan and I chose the topic of sexual symbolism for our first joint effort on a short video project. Together we wrote a script and recorded the voice track. I had some videos and images ready to use and I was excited to try a new idea for the music track. I gathered some of my favorite Nine Inch Nails music and made a remix for this video. I’ve been told by some that it’s very good and by others that it is “too creepy”. I like it.
Jordan Maxwell Interview
links listed below
Producer, Director, Editor, Music |
This interview with Jordan Maxwell was recorded in 2003 by Andrew Rutajit. Jordan has lead the way in this area of research for many years and with the advent of more and more technology and faster ways of communicating; the truth is spreading like a virus that kills religions and buries them in shallow graves with headstones that read "Mythology." Without Jordan's tireless efforts to shine a light on these things, much of this information would still be a mystery to many people.

Logo design
I wanted Gnostic Media to have its own logo. Symbols are true on many scales and each has different meanings to the different groups who employ them; I was trying to design something that would encompass everything I write about. Our logo was an ouroboros for quite some time but that has been done before by many others…the television series “Millennium” (http://www.oldpunks.com/1millennium.jpg) sort of over-popularized that symbol. I wanted a unique but familiar logo…something clever and something that won’t come across as satanic or something worse. The last thing I want to do is scare someone away from the information just because of a silly logo.
I began with an Egyptian Ankh and instead of a crucified savor covered in his own blood; I choose to set a reincarnating Phoenix atop of this symbol. With the staff (Ankh) and wings (Phoenix) in place, I then added the ascending dualistic serpents of the caduceus. The coloring, the mushrooms growing below the Ankh, and symbols on the Ankh itself are a few of the hidden symbols within the Gnostic Media logo.

This website is dedicated to anyone interested in "inner-space exploration". A deeper understanding of Self and reality via sacred plants is not a new concept, it is a surprisingly archaic concept. Mankind’s history of ceremonial plant usage has been documented in thousands of books and papers and this information is spreading like wildfire.
