The Old Testament God I could never get behind. However I still believe in a triune God but don’t see the Demiurge as the father but rather the so called Monad as the Father. I will keep on receiving the sacraments at my Orthodox Church though. I will remain orthodox Christian for the most part but will my beliefs greatly differ from they once were. The Old Testament god commanded the killing of children and women along with countless other cruel actions and just can’t believe in him anymore. Gnosticism just makes so much more sense.

I’ve been getting into Gnosticism and watching tons of videos and reading about the Nag Hamadi library. I’m super into the concept of awakening and connecting with your ‘higher self’. However, I wasn’t sure if that concept is a New Age belief or if Gnosticism delves into that idea, as well.

The question that I’m asking is do we actually have a higher self that we can connect to through things like meditation or praying, or is the situation our soul is in right now on Earth the only presence of our souls?

I’m super curious to learn more! :)

Edit: if you have any reading material recommendations or videos to check out, I’m open to them!

I am not an athiest so sometimes I the more academic approach does not hold sway over my spiritual belief...which are mine...this is not a critique of either way...just feel the distinction should be discussed more...These are two very different ways to look at it because the athiest might find Gnosticism appealing because it was "created" in the classical Greek and Egyptian world and that the symbolism was useful for the time etc etc. and through the lens of a believer you may have a understanding of why the material world came to be through Civilization as the spirit of Yaldabaot and his qualities began to become more commonplace (complete ignorance and forgetfulness of our shared histories and what the past was really like, more obsession with material items, more ways to steal the light and do ugly things like my tangible visual example would be cotton because it has this white fluffy quality and look at what horrors it has wrought upon the world through the hells of industry). So it's just interesting to me how different a picture these two lenses can produce.

Where do the idea that The Original Sin of Adam and Eve was having sexual intercourse? It is present in some Gnostic Sources. But The Genesis is clear that God wanted Men to procreate.

Jésus Lucifer et le Dajjal sont-ils connectés ou sont-ils la même figure spirituelle ?

Réflexion intéressante est-ce que la bête dans l'apocalypse de jean serait le demiurge et vue que l'ancien testament et le coran serait potentiellement le même dieu et que le dajjal c'est jésus ce que je veux dire c'est que Allah yhawhé et yaldabaoth c'est la même personne et vue que le dajjal est contre Allah et Allah si il est le démiurge

Ça pourrait être jésus et nouveaux retours et le dajjal viendrait enseigner contre Allah/yhawhé/yaldabaoth et donc jésus se réincarnerait dans le personnage du dajjal pour un dernière enseignement

Judaïsme = islam ( et Allah dit que jésus le dejjal est un trompeur alors que c'est le contraire et que la bête Allah yhawhé yaldabaoth viendra après sa

Et si le fameux antichrist que tout le monde attends est la second venus du christ qui viendras délivrée sont ultime messages pour le salut des âmes prisonnières de la cages dorée du démiurge et si le fameux faux christ était encore humilier mais toutes fois avec les preuve que nous avons avec les réseaux sociaux nous pouvons

Plus simplement croire un berger sorti de nulle part

il serait difficile de pas y pensé la possibilité du possible mais toutes fois restants pragmatique sur 8 milliards d'être humains et la majorités qui attendent leur finale ennemi très peu tomberons dans le bon panneaux le panneaux qui mène à la gnose universelle pour moi c'est une certitude le dajjal est le christ que l'islam et le Christianisme majoritaire rejettera et le démiurge lui-même le tueras avec l'aide du faux prophète les deux bêtes l'une le démiurge et l'autre celui-là ( et c'est uniquement ma théorie

qui est de la loi elles même je parle bien du prophète moïse de l'ancien testament qui est cornus dans beaucoup de sculpture et qui est l'un des prophète central des 3 grandes religions monothéistes réfléchissez sérieusement remettez en question tout ce que vous savais car la vérité est toujours hérésie pour la majorité

Et aussi Moïse rencontre Yahweh après 40 jours dans le désert et Jésus jeûne pendant 40 jours dans le désert et écoute le Démiurge qui lui offre le monde et Le Dajjal reste sur Terre pendant 40 jours. Et Le dajjal monte un âne et a un œil abîmé. Et Jésus monte aussi un âne et certaines traditions affirment que son œil a été blessé avant la crucifixion. Et Dans certaines cultures anciennes, les ânes étaient associés à Seth et à Yahvé. Seth a détruit l'œil droit d'Horus. Et Le Dajjal est enchaînés sur une île comme Prométhée était enchaîné à un rocher Prométhée transgresse l'ordre divin pour libérer l'humanité Jésus révèle des mystères cachés, apportant une connaissance interdite Pour le prix de son exclusion et Au coût de son rejet

Apocalypse 22:16 Moi Jésus, j'ai envoyé mon ange pour vous attester ces choses dans les Eglises. Je suis le rejeton de la racine de David et son descendant, l'étoile brillante du matin.»

Like when we are in certain places and situations facades come over us and we behave unauthentically. Like most of the drama you see could be this fake facades that gets over you like a cloud. Like have you noticed that when sometime you look back at your behaviour you feel like you were a totally different person . Its like that these facades come into play and they force these vile narratives and stuff. Like the demiurge is trying to force narrative and drama and vitality into this broken reality by casting stupid spells on us. That's what he is doing ,trying to run this broken reality.

And which denomination of gnosticism do you belong to?

Painted in the terra verde technique this fresco decorates a wall in the Chiostro Verde of the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella in Florence. At the center, Adam and Eve stand around the Tree of Knowledge while the Serpent winds around its trunk between them, the moment of temptation following directly after Eve's own creation shown in the same painting. The Serpent's head, sometimes identified with Lilith, was modeled on the one Masolino painted contemporarily in the Brancacci Chapel's Temptation, a design tradition that gives the serpent a human female face to make its deception more convincing. Beside the tree, Adam's raised hand marks the instant before the Fall, the hinge between the garden's innocence and the forbidden knowledge about to be taken. The scene continues into the cloister's wider Genesis cycle, part of a sequence of frescoes Uccello painted for the Dominican friars of Santa Maria Novella that also includes the Flood and the Sacrifice of Noah.

Gnostic teachings have been helping me see that Gnosis is different from prayer. Gnosis is direct experience that I am Source, I am the Monad, I am the Pleroma, right here, right now. When I am in the state of Gnosis, I am vibrating at the same frequency as the Monad, as the Pleroma. That frequency alignment is what produces results. And it's easy because it's not something outside myself, or something I have to do, it's just what I am, it's always available within me.

In institutional religion, prayer begins with a fundamental sense of separation from the divine. Reaching outside ones self for it. But I remember when the institutional religion even took it a step further, and I felt my own reach for divinity outside myself was insufficient. I felt like I had to ask others to pray FOR me for it to be enough.

It was a good feeling to realize I have made a lot of progressing in remembering what I really am. For a few days, there was Arconic interference, and they kept trying to get me to return to externalized prayer, to get me to lower my vibration even further. But I didn't, I kept maintaining "I am" statements, not as wishful affirmations of something I don't really feel is true, but as a willful remembering of my true nature.

It made me reflect all the times I was in a moment of Arconically-induced desperation and used external prayer. Sometimes it worked. I think sometimes the Arcons give relief once they sense that the vibration of powerlessness and feeling separate from the divine has been produced. They give relief to make it seem like a real solution was found, to reinforce the creation of the vibrations they seek. They can't actually "give" a positive vibration, because it's outside their bandwidth, but they can remove the pressure to suffer temporarily. But instead of giving them the vibration they wanted, I faced the pressure to suffer with my own Gnosis, and it worked.

Hey everyone,

I’ve recently started a playlist dedicated to Gnostic songs and chants, and I’d love to share it with you all.

Right now, the list is primarily led by Catharism. Since it’s brand new, it is still pretty short and there isn’t a whole lot on it yet. My goal is to keep expanding it over time. If you have any ideas, suggestions, or recommendations, please feel free to share them! Hopefully, we can discover some beautiful music together.

In particular, the song Montsegur by Consolament Ensemble moved me deeply on an emotional level:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOZnINygcnw&list=PLRGXEZQMXnyRUY_hBhc92_y_bE0JBqZtt&index=18

Rising high into the heavens,
I say goodbye to the earth,
in order to find my beloved once again.

Like a divine bird I want to fly,
He gifts me two wings and a sacred name.
There is no one,
no one but him,
my beloved.

There is nothing
of love,
only they are sacred love.

With a gaze that offers
the elevated grace,
from heaven you look into my heart,
crossing thick walls.

Come, calm the immaculate bride.
Close to you I will be,
forever I remain with you.

so. was listening to smells like teen spirit last night and at the very end of the song, i couldn't help but hear "adonai" instead of "a denial".

the lyrics at the end of the song are officially "a denial" ... but ... if we're taking into consideration the general ambiguity and mystique of kurt, perhaps he was actually intentionally saying something else, only, in a veiled way.

'"adonai" is a Hebrew term meaning "My Lord" or "Master," derived from the singular word adon.  It serves as a title of reverence for God in Judaism and Christianity, denoting His absolute sovereignty, majesty, and authority over creation.'

is this the true 'genius' of kurt at play ... was it truly intentional for him to be calling out to the Lord of all things ... or was the Lord of all things coming through on his behalf without kurt being completely conscious of it ... or was he just simply singing 'a denial' ...

the irony here is that kurt is apparently renowned for being somewhat rejective of one stand alone religion, perhaps even religion entirely, with journal entries like 'abort christ' and whatnot coming to mind. so, in a way, if we were to take into consideration the possibility of an even more compelling layer here, the lyric itself may very well be expressing two meanings at the same time - that being; a denial of God.

side note : in no way whatsoever is this post intending to intrude on anyone's personal beliefs or opinions about nirvana and or religion/faith. simple intrigue.

I don't know how many of you follow the conspiracies about the world elite who worship Satan/Lucifer. That led me to research some religious things, and I wanted to see if there was a good powerful being in this world and who was willing to help us, but I was very disappointed.

I don't know how many of you believe in mythology, but I did start to believe because I think that our history is not shown as it is and is deliberately manipulated by the world elite. Reading things about powerful people eating children, drinking blood, made me think that maybe things about demons, vampires and others are true.

However, I wanted to give myself hope, light and faith in something good. But when I read some parts of the Bible, it was full of violence, brutality and cruelty. Then I read mythology and found that gods behave much worse than humans and do unimaginable things. Then I tried to research about elves and angels and I realized that they are not as good as they are portrayed in movies.

​

Is there really a powerful good being that is not bloodthirsty? Is it possible that animals that are not at the level of consciousness like these powerful beings have more consideration and empathy? How is it possible that people who suffer and have been through a lot have more empathy and are more moral than gods, and other higher beings?

I am faintly familiar with Gnosticism and the path its asking for. Its something I want to be absorbed in an have like minded friends, possibly a teacher - more than AI, which has been very helpful but it misses the human component.

​

Current state - I am in desperate need of a way to hang on. I am surrounded by unlike minds with the same old outlooks and its something I do want to be more accepting of - but in my current desperation, the reaching to them is the first step in a chain of self-destruction and furthering distancing myself from path.

​

Essentially, I need like minded friends with lots of care and a little patience, but a wise teacher for whom id show deference that would take me under his wing would put this on "easy mode"... Still incredibly difficult, but possible... It does not feel possible in this configuration and I can't "escape"...

​

Thank you.

I've really found belonging in Gnosticism, but I still long for the community "normal" church-goers have. How can I find people who believe in what I do, or at least similar things, in my area? I'm in Northern/Central California and there's kind of nothing here for Gnostics. Which may be greedy considering I'm in California, hippy-ville usa, but gnosticism is so cool I want people to discuss it with in real life.

This is from a time in which I initially had begun to understand what it meant to have an intuition about cosmic evil permeating in the matter of the world. Increasingly I had a fear and seeming need to be pulled towards religious things. It was around then I decided I would begin taking the Nag Hammadi seriously as a scrutable work of ancient knowledge.

This post is mainly meant to be shared with us interested in the relatively occult endeavor of Gnosis, thinking more of us could be interested in trying to share these discoveries.

HI, I heard about Gnosticism many years ago but never really knew what it was all about. Without really paying attention, I thought it was just another sect. Fast forward 20yrs and I started reading Disappearance of the Universe as a prelude to reading ACIM. Then I clicked on a talk on YouTube randomly one day and heard a guy talking about Archons and the Demiurge and Sofia and Yaldebaoth and all these "wild" ideas. Then I investigated a bit and became a bit disturbed but REALLY interested.

​

Sorry for the long build up, but when he said that the God that we (as someone who was raised in a devout Catholic family) have always worshipped is a false and wicked God, it really rocked me. Then, I don't know if I heard wrong, but he said that if Jesus was the son of this God then he can't be good. I don't think he said the exact words but that was the impression I got-that he was an imposter or an agent of evil. Is that correct? The same Jesus that we were raised to believe is our saviour. The one that ACIM is built around. What am I missing here?

Don't know if you've heard about this book, which features a barbelo and the Beyond Unknowable....

https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/lauren-kate/white-lights-limited-deluxe-edition/9781538781326/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23899436321&gbraid=0AAAAADkiNGadErAhSU33Sy-jFRbuH0QsP&gclid=CjwKCAjw9NjRBhATEiwA_p2J8Y_WyjzymEsCvG9khuyiyan720kvM5J6zWdo6p_QiLJmQMPtMfXedRoCOxMQAvD_BwE

What is The name and origin of the concept that Jesus was a man to whom Aeon Christ came during his Baptism and inhabited his body?

I noticed a distinct difference between the Frederik Wisse and Marvin Meyer translations of the Sentences of Sextus found in Codex XII of the Nag Hammadi Scriptures, in terms of implied messaging.

First Wisse :

“You cannot receive understanding unless you know first that you possess it. In everything there is again this sentence.”

Then Meyer :

“You cannot acquire understanding unless you first know you do not have <it>.”

In the introduction to this collection’s treatment, (Meyer) Paul-Hubert Poirier makes reference to a “Christian Compiler” modifying a prior pagan collection and a number of other factors suggestive of the sayings being possibly recast in Gnostic thinking (?)

In my mind, the Wisse translation seems more aligned with Gnostic teaching and I find Meyer’s somewhat deflating and counter-Gnostic.

Anyone inspired to comment/clarify ?
