    Archetypes & Shamanism & Christology

    Hi. I asked something similar to this on the Shamanism DIR. However, I thought I might find a broader interaction on the New Age DIR. Here is what I posted on the Shamanism subforum (I think I mentioned it on the Christian Wiccan subforum also): I am curious about possible comparisons or even...

    Christ Above All

    Hi. Are there any New Age thinkers here who believe in Christ as the highest or ultimate entity or experience? That is, you do not regard any generic "God" or other deity or divine entity above and beyond Christ? (Not even the "Heavenly Father" as a separate person, but instead as something...

    Christ and the Demiurge (OT God) - relationship?

    Hi. In Gnostic thought, what is the understanding about the relationship between Christ and the Demiurge? Is the Demiurge the same as the Old Testament (OT) god, Yahweh (and equivalent to Jehovah)? What does Christ reveal about the OT god, and therefore what should humans understand about who...
