Found a good way to describe my belief system
When people ask me what I believe, I usually give them some long winded answer or tell them it’s hard to explain/understand… that sounds rude and demeaning tho and I think I’ve finally figured out not only how to explain it but that putting it into words helps me make it work better because I am conscious of it.
I would call it a combination of Gnosticism/buddhism/hermeticism.
Gnosticism being the belief, Buddhism being the action, and hermeticism being the tool.
If you are familiar with these systems, then this should make some sense to you. Basically how I see it, we are trapped in a demiurgic world with archons etc. and the goal is ultimately to escape using our divine light. The best way to exist on this planet though in the meantime is through Buddhism, because I believe karma is real, and Buddhism honors the divine light. Buddhism also teaches you detachment, which you need to not return to samsara. Those two beliefs alone leave you weak though, considering most other people don’t share them. Which is where hermeticism comes in and I have noticed it has truly helped me get ahead in lots of ways within this system and enjoy my time here a bit more.
Does anyone else share these beliefs with me? Would love to make some friends on the same wavelength.
