    Gnosticism and Existentialism

    As far as Christianity is concerned all stem from the catholic faith, in that they all believe the creator god of the matter universe is the true god and father of Christ and that Jesus died for peoples sins, both untrue, but fundamental to 'orthodox Christianity. We are not our own 'Jesus'...

    How is Satan the Adversary? Against Humanity, against YHWH, or against the Father?

    I agree and would point out each of us hope someday everyone sees the Truth because it is God's will none should be lost, but this is the truth of it, if a person doesn't grasp it we will try to help them if they are genuinely seeking, if they are not interested, well that is their choice. We...

    Who is Jesus to you?

    Jesus was the man in whom the Christ spirit dwelt. He was the man whose soul welcomed and embraced the Christ spirit. He is the man who was willing to sacrifice his earthly life for the Christs sake. He is the man who through Christ became truly human. He is the man who bonded his soul with the...

    Assisted Death.

    I have been reading these posts and find them interesting. I believe it is not up to others to decide whether or not another persons reasons for living or suiciding are valid. My pain may not seem much to another and another's may not seem much to me, my pain may be psychological and another's...

    Assisted Death.

    I agree fully and am an advocate for voluntary euthanasia. I am a true Christian, that is what today is referred to as a 'Gnostic Christian' as such I have little regard for the matter universe and a great belief in the spiritual plain. As far as voluntary euthanasia is concerned I believe...

    Science and relgion

    I agree science is the study of the natural universe, which of course includes this world. My point is science today being far more technologically advanced than in previous times is seeing the natural universe in far more detail than ever before. It is in this detail we can see evidence of...

    Science and relgion

    What I am saying is science has shown that there are greater things moving in the universe than us. Science cannot explain black holes or understand dark matter but they exist and are not inactive. They are greater than the known universe. I believe these elements along with the universe...

    Science and relgion

    I have often wondered about the argument of science verses religion. In our society it appears we take science as fact, even if it is just a theory and we take religion or more correctly in this case Christianity as a mythical moral code that can be applied to this world and its behaviour...

    Your faith in suffering...

    Dear Elowolfe, I am sorry to read of your sisters plight. I read your post and understand what you are saying. The Ineffable Spirit, the true God and father of Christ knows His own, from what I read, your sister has a beautiful spirit and has bonded with her spirit and allowed it to guide her...

    The creation of matter and the Demiurge

    In conversation yesterday with some work colleagues we were discussing this topic. It seems some people have no clue and others various opinions. I want to share what I think with you and also read about your ideas too. I think the big bang was the first emanation of forethought from the...

    Living in Illusion

    This illusion will stick as long as you're in the physical reality. The problem is that most people aren't directly aware of spiritual existence, all they know is the physical world. It is very hard to let go, but until you do detach yourself from physical reality, you're stuck to it. Which is...

    Non-materialist views of consciousness

    What is consciousness? Living thought energy. I think therefore I am.

    How did you become a Gnostic?

    I see your point, and agree in part, because we have a choice when deciding how we develop, what characteristics, beliefs, behaviours, attitudes and actions we take. We can change these also as we grow if we choose. For the Archon to have control or influence over our lives we must first let...

    How did you become a Gnostic?

    The names of some of the archons are, as an example, Greed, Lust, Envy, Competitiveness, selfishness, jealousy, pride, ego, etcetera. These are the demons people allow to into their souls and drive their thoughts leading to all sorts of evil, lies, murder, theft, defamation, hatred, etcetera...

    Gnostic Woo-woo

    An interesting Thread. What I see with line of thought is that you are trying to find a place for 'Gnosticism' in the world. People can call themselves whatever they like and attach whatever beliefs and behaviours they want to that name. Like minded people may choose to join them, that's all...

    How did you become a Gnostic?

    It was about thirty years ago that my eyes were opened. I was not a religious person although I tended to believe there was some form of God or divine architect. Anyway at one point I was talking to some work colleagues and the discussion was on Christianity, these people were church going...

    Problems of Modernity and Gnosticism?

    Anti-Semitism: I don't believe Gnostics are anti-Semitic, certainly we would all agree that the Jewish God is the demiurge, but like any other people (Gentile) a Jewish person has the same opportunity to seek Christ and find Truth. We do not judge them, nor do we apply a blanket opinion of...

    The nature of nature is sociopathic

    I was thinking about Spiritual growth and how it is we look inwardly to the Christ Spirit for guidance and values and the thought occurred that the nature of nature is sociopathic. If it were not sociopathic it could not survive. This notion is reinforced by the ancient symbol of the...

    Jesus Feels Forsaken - Gnostic View?

    My friend, Christ was not standing in the crowd as Jesus was crucified. Christ is a Spirit and Christ had already left the body of the man Jesus. He was in Spirit above and looking down. He did not laugh at the barbarity of the Romans and Jews, nor the suffering of Jesus on the cross. He did...

    Gnostic view of Jungian ideas?

    I have read some of Carl Jung's work, my general opinion is I think Carl Jung was definitely orientated toward what is today referred to as Gnostic thinking. Perhaps he would have considered himself Gnostic. Truth is Truth, but understanding Truth more fully for each of us takes time, I don't...
