r/Gnostic

And if not, why not?

This will be a short post. I’m really burnt out and tired right now. Been in to gnosticism for a few years, but really started to focus more in the last few months.

If all that has happened was allowed to happen, what differentiates one god from the other? It seems to be as above, so below to me. The deeper I go, the more clear this answer becomes.

This world is full of suffering, control, and confusion. If gnosticism is the way out, it is extremely convoluted and confusing. Whoever “god” is, has done a terrible job at giving us a map back home.

Also want to add, I have dove in to almost every religious or spiritual practice you can imagine. This one felt right to me, but here we are. I’m not just a flaky person looking for a convenient, feel good story.

I see this question all the time.

The original fall of Light of Sophia was a catastrophic, un-sanctioned systemic rupture.

The error of Sophia. The souls in the Pleroma never signed a waiver to be farmed for energy inside a dense material simulation.

The reality functions exactly like a high-stakes hostage crisis. When the blind architect Yaldabaoth built the physical sandbox, he coded the stolen Pleromic Light-Sparks directly into the human carbon suits to power his atomic particle grid.

Because our divine fragments are now deeply intertwined with the lower-dimensional software loops, the Source faces a strict operational deadlock: it cannot simply execute a brute-force termination command to instantly delete the Demiurge and rewrite the simulation, because a sudden, violent server shutdown would vaporize the hijacked light-sparks along with the matrix code. The Source refuses to destroy a single piece of its own immortal family.

Therefore, the ultimate strategy is a controlled decompression. The Pleroma must let the simulation proceed to its mathematical conclusion while executing a precise, surgical extraction mission. Instead of blowing up the prison, external rescue pilots slip into the cell blocks to flash the amnesia-bypass codes, step up our internal voltage, and decouple our Light-Sparks from the matrix operating system. This ensures that when the simulation naturally reaches its final entropic collapse or a reset cycle, individual awake operators have already untangled themselves from the code and are cleared for a clean vertical escape back to the home realm.

I have read Genesis a hundred times and never once noticed it. Right after God makes the first human, a deep sleep falls on him. And the story never says he woke up.

I didn’t catch it until I sat with the Secret Book of John, one of the old texts found at Nag Hammadi. And once you see it, you start hearing the same two words on nearly every page of the Bible.

This week’s message, “The Whole Bible in Two Words,” is up now. Come see if you can guess them before I say them.

The passed couple months I've been getting into "consent" within our entertainment industry. I may be wrong, but here it goes.

I believe most big songs are in the Demiurges point of view. You can make fun or me if you want, don't care. This is what I think.

With deep meditation I came to the conclusion that Yellow/Gold is DEEPLY associated with Demiurge/Yaldabaoth.

1. Yellow- Coldplay

Why? -----"I drew a line for you/ Skin and bones turn into something beautiful. "

2. Scientist- Coldplay

Why?---- "Questions of Science/ Tell you I set you apart "

3. Viva La Vida- Coldplay

Why?--- "That was when I ruled the world/ Jerusalem Bells are ringing/ St. Peter won't call my name."

4.- Yellow Submarine - The Beatles

Why?--- "We all live in a yellow submarine." (Refers to the Yellow cycle of the reincarnation wheel)

5.- Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John

Why?----"When are you gonna come down? " (demiurge is on the middle, ascended are on top)

6. Mellow Yellow- Donovan

Why?--- "I'm just mad about her." (Demiurges hate to Sophia)

"I'm just mad about 14." ( 7 layers of heaven, each with a female and male counterpart= 14)

"Shes just mad about me." (Sophia's regret about The Demiurge)

7. Welcome to the Machine - Pink Floyd

Why?---- well.... read the title, duh?

I'll list more later!!!!!

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to share this for a long time but since the end of Wano the parallels only gets reinforced, and I can't really fall asleep so here goes.

What is a Gnostic Work?

Gnosticism is an ancient christian and philosophical current centered on gnosis : secret knowledge rather than blind faith or blind obedience. It posits that the material universe was created by a lesser, flawed, or tyrannical authority (the Demiurge, god of the old testament) to keep humanity trapped in spiritual ignorance. Liberation requires piercing this cosmic illusion to reclaim the divine spark hidden within.

It was forbidden and hidden for 2000 years, and the texts composing it pan over one century (sounds familiar?)

• The False Authority: The World Government and the Gorosei act as a direct proxy for the Gnostic Demiurge and his Archons-lesser, ignorant, or malevolent rulers who usurp absolute control over a material prison and demand total obedience.A being that claims to be god of the world.

•The Erased Truth: The Void Century functions precisely like the hidden, forbidden knowledge (gnosis). The ruling order's primary mechanism of power is the active revision, censorship, and concealment of humanity's true origins and the nature of the world. It is also as I mentioned earlier an actual fact of gnosticism history. The Orthodox church tried to erase its message.

•The True History / Pleroma: Finding out what happened 800 years ago is the narrative equivalent of piercing through the cosmic veil to realize the current reality is built on a grand deception.

•The Dawn and Liberation: Dawn is insanely present in Gnostic texts. The "Will of D." and the recurring motif of the Sun God Nika—bringing liberation, laughter, and breaking chains—mirrors the spark of divine consciousness waking up within matter to shatter the prison. This is the exact same spirit and message attributed to Jesus in the Gnostic texts, both in the spiritual and material world as a liberation.

There are many more, finer parallels, specially in backstories that go even further in the parallels, it is not outlandish that Oda might have had access to this as it is pretty popular as an inspiration in Japan, whereas it is almost unknown to most of us. Additionally, parallels between Gnosticism and Buddhism have been drawn and we can clearly see Oda loves his references to it.

Why such a success?

I think the key to the success of One Piece is exactly that: the mystery, the search, the unveiling and the taking down of fake gods or oppressors through laughter and joy.

It resonates so much with so many people because it used the same themes and narrative beats as the most ancient mythos and religion, it is literally embedded within most cultures and is a message that was always perverted or redirected by an authority.

Peter Thiel, who despises gnosticism and ignores it totally tried to appropriate One Piece recently to make it fit his authoritarian narrative, pretending that Luffy would wish for deregulating AI, lol. It's almost as if the message was attempted to be perverted again.

It is all pretty striking, but what are your thoughts. Writing this in a rush. Sorry if I made some spelling or syntax mistake.

>Indeed, We created man from sounding clay molded from black mud. As for the jinn, We created them earlier from smokeless fire. ˹Remember, O  Prophet˺ when your Lord said to the angels, “I am going to create a human being from sounding clay molded from black mud.^(1) So when I have fashioned him and breathed into him my own spirit, fall down in prostration to him.” So the angels prostrated all together— but not Iblis who refused to prostrate with the others.

This is from the Surah (Chapter) Al-Hijr (The Rocky Tract) of the Quran. It speaks of the moment Allah formed Adam. Before that, mankind had existed as clay and Jinn as smokeless fire. As far as I've studied, Jinn are spirits that could be compared to Ba'als (foreign deities) or similar to Archons (rulers) in Gnosticism; that is to call them the unseen powers of this world that do their own will. They can be forces of good or evil, some disguise themselves as Gods while others can be turned towards the light. One of the Jinn, Iblis or Iblees, was elevated through his worship of Allah that he was made an equal to Angels of light. However, when Adam was created and Allah breathed his own spirit into him, Allah ordered all the Angels to kneel in worship, and all the beings of light did so without question. But the text says not Iblis, who viewed himself as superior to Adam.

>Allah said, O Iblis, what is the matter with you that you are not with those who prostrate?"
He said, "Never would I prostrate to a human whom You created out of clay from an altered black mud."
Allah said, "Then get out of it, for indeed, you are expelled. And indeed, upon you is the curse until the Day of Recompense."
He said,"My Lord, then reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected."
Allah said, "So indeed, you are of those reprieved until the Day of the time well-known."

Iblis refuses to obey Allah, stating that Adam is but mud. Iblis is unable to see the higher state of divinity within Adam, and perhaps within himself. So Allah curses him, casting him out, but doesn't kill him. Iblis did not denounce Allah in that moment, even calling him 'My Lord,' and so Allah ibues him with immortality until the day of resurrection. From a gnostic view, this part has great irony, since the day of resurrection is the day one realizes their own divine nature. It's here that Iblis declares his intention to lead mankind astray

>Iblis said, "My Lord, because You have put me in error, I will surely make [disobedience] attractive to them on earth, and I will mislead them all Except, among them, Your chosen servants."
[Allah] said, "This is a path [of return] to Me [that is] straight. Indeed, My servants - no authority will you have over them, except those who follow you of the deviators. And indeed, Hell is the promised place for them all. It has seven gates; for every gate is of them a portion designated."

Allah mentions 7 hells with 7 gates, which somewhat mirrors the 7 heavens guarded by 7 rulers in gnostic cosmology. Note that Islam also has 7 heavens, which Muhammad was raised through the Al-Isra (the Night Journey), but the parallels make me believe there is a strong connection between Islam, Christianity, and Gnosticism.

Please note, I'm drawing upon several translations, which is noted by Islamic scholars as "translation is a betrayal of the original text". But from what I've read of the Quran, there are some passages that have a gnostic interpretation. While I do not believe the Prophet Muhammad was gnostic, I do believe some of his teachers included gnostic Christians who did missionary work as far as India. I pray I have not been misled, nor misled others away from God's grace. Peace be upon you.

The Chief Ruler and his powers plotted a strategy, To send his demons to human daughters And make themselves children by them to enjoy. But they failed.

After their failure they made another plan. They created an artificial spirit Modeled on the Spirit who descended So, to impregnate souls by means of this spirit, The demons changed appearance to look like the women’s husbands They filled the women with that spirit of darkness and wickedness.

They brought into being Gold and silver, Money and coins, Iron and other metals and all things of this sort.

And the people who were attracted were led astray into troubles And were greatly misled. And grew old Experiencing no pleasure, And died Finding no truth, Never knowing the true God.

The evil nature of the creator is central to classical Gnosticism. Of course, there are later offshoots/modern interpretations inspired by Gnosticism that reinterpret these ideas, but we shouldn't pretend that the problem of creation was some insignificant side note.

In the Sethian creation myth, this world is the result of a tragedy in the divine realms. Sophia, in an act of desire outside the proper order of the Pleroma, brings forth the Demiurge, an ignorant and arrogant being who mistakes himself for the highest God. From there, the material cosmos emerge.

We are living out the consequences of Sophia's fall, divine consciousness/wisdom caught in the density of matter, subject to the rulers of this world and the ignorance that governs their creation.

Perhaps that is the final lesson of Gnosticism: to recognize the world for what it is, remember where we came from, and pass through this realm without mistaking it for our true home.

In one of my posts, someone mentioned there was no such thing as Christianity during the time Yeshua was here. This is true and got me to thinking, and going down a rabbit hole of researching and asking questions. AI is great for this, however I know it makes some major mistakes, so I post here to see to get some human Gnosis.

"The Torah was viewed as a path of life. In fact, before the followers of Yeshua were ever called "Christians," the Book of Acts records that the earliest Jewish movement was simply called "The Way." When Yeshua said, "I am the way," his Jewish disciples would have understood that he was not just pointing to a roadmap—he was claiming to be the physical path itself. [1, 2]"

With this said, in reality, all followers of Christianity are really following a form of Judaism. Which would would also mean all Christians are really Jewish, following Yeshua's teachings on mysticism and the earliest form of Kabbalah that was still evolving the concept of the Devine Feminine. This is where I read between the lines and see where Miriam was essential in her teachings of Sophia, or the reality of Sophia. And this is where they came together...

I know these topics are pretty deep, so let me close with this. "This is the way"... LOL if you're a Mandalorian fan, you know this quote.

I have been making a few posts on the "literal" Gnostic side of things & forgot why I am posting. I wanted to know, for others on the journey & have done the quiet meditations, & knows the benefit of the clarity of mind it brings. What's your experience been?

I also want to speak to those further in the journey & done some deep meditations. What have you seen? I know I not alone, just considering the number of members in this forum. Has anyone tried some remote viewing & instead of targeting a place on earth... What if I target the Pleroma? If so, what did you see with your third eye?

Take this for fiction or non-fiction, for me it was just like floating in solid white light. Bright, however not pain full. There was this very high pitch, however not pain full. I thought at the time, this does'nt sound like the horns of heaven. At that moment I felt I was some where I should not be. As soon as I thought this, I felt a presence and boop, back in my body. It was strange, I felt so energized afterwards. I didnt know what it was at the time, happened 35 years ago, but thinking about it now... Made me wonder, someone else must have thought to do this as well...
