Denis I as a Muslim I am also alarmed at how my religion has become corrupted, seemingly by Islamic institutions. Whilst I cannot trace the antecedents as far back as the Romans, it does appear to originate with British Security Services in the 18th Century (to undermine the Ottoman Empire). With social media this corruption is becoming all pervasive, suggesting that Muslims with beliefs like mine are a minority. But the only data I can find suggests that we represent 90% of all Muslims, even I believe this to be an over-estimation, but it does highlight the magnitude of the deception.

I have read so many different interpretations of the Sophia-Dmiurge story, but I never really solidified a very good point of view. This was the first and geatest explanation of the story. And it explains so much about this reality and why there is evil in the world and also a god. It also explains the curse in Genesis about the enmity between the seeds, and the strange devil-jesus-prometheus connection. The seeds that choose the fruit will forever be at odds with the seeds who refuse and choose ignorance. This channel is priceless.

Simply, thank you not so Foolish Fish. I have never encountered another person who could bring PK and Jung together besides my personal rabbit hole journeys. Sharing how the first codex of the Nag Hammadi library landed in Jung's hands is pure Argentium to me. Thank you.

This is a beautiful introduction to a fraught topic. It is blindingly clear, now, that I've been quietly gnostic since I became conscious, at around age four, which is sixty nine years ago. It's been a fascinating journey since then, reclaiming what was lost and repairing what can be repaired. Not least, in myself. I now have a text of the Nag Hammadi Library I can turn to online, thanks to you, without buying more books. My bookshelves have gotten rather overcrowded in my casita and I've mostly forgotten what I have in storage, although surely one of the collections is in there as well. Please pardon my logorrhea!

I have literally intuitively felt these ideas, in my own meditations and searching for spiritual answers. I've never known all these details you included in this video about gnosticism, yet I have spent long bouts of time thinking about how the Bible says Satan is the "God of this world" or something similar to that. There is this idea that "the most high god", the true singular source of all divinity power energy etc. Did not DIRECTLY create out world that we live in. Like there is a true divine source of all things in turn, indirectly, but was not DIRECTLY responsible for the details of the creation of our reality that we are trapped in. I have felt this on a deep level, many times in thought and meditation and while watching this video everything just lined up and connected and gave me POWERFUL chills and tingles. The kind of chills and tingles I get when something resonates true.

Have you ever watched The Holy Mountain by Alejandro Jodorowsky? I feel the ties to Gnostic thought are spread throughout the movie and the symbolic lens Jodorowsky provides is a very refreshing one. He is able to say so much in such a short movie. Such a sharp commentary on Christianity, spirituality and the modern world. It's one of my favorite movies! I love Valis too!

Gnosis is cognate to the Sanskrit word jñāna, which also means ‘knowledge.’ Depending on the context, jñāna can refer to ordinary knowledge, meaning knowledge of objective phenomena or knowing how to do something or understanding of philosophical concepts - but in a yogic context it generally refers to a state of consciousness where one knows universal consciousness in a similar way to how Adam knew Eve - through ecstatic union in which the experience of worldly boundaries completely dissolves in superconsciousness. I couldn’t say for sure if gnosis is used in contextually similar ways, but my understanding was that it referred to a similar union with the spiritual heart that creates, preserves, and destroys absolutely everything. By which I mean that the demiurge can only create the world by the will of the monad

Gnosis was one of the goals of the great mystery schools.. whereby one can come to "know thyself" and as Aristotle said “Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” - Aristotle. This is what Jesus , Osiris, krishna, mithras et al are telling you how to do through symbolic allegory

An interesting thought I just had. I believe that the Bible we got nowadays is different then of what the source material was because it was in the end edited by humans and Roman empire used it to enhance their power/standing. God knew of this and thats why despite the edits and the cutout stuff. It still preserves (more or less) the main original message that was intended to be received. I'm seeing the other stuff resurfacing now as Gods/Worlds/Universe/call it whatever telling us that we are now ready to receive this knowledge

Any study of Gnositicism should include Elaine Pagels' The Gnostic Gospels. She is a well-respected historian of early Christianity. On Dick, there are a number of movies of his works, including A Scanner Darkly, and also many movies influenced by his thought, including The Matrix, Dark City, and The Sixth Sense, which depends heavily on Dick's Ubik. The most authentic Dickian movie is Radio Free Albemuth. The book was put together by a friend of Dick's after his death, from notes, but it is a good representation of Dick's mature thoughts.

oh my god, plesase upload the final part. I don't know about the next ones...... Waiting waiting and waiting.

Gnosis is knowledge gained through experience. Experience obtained when someone is able to become conscious of their existence. Everything else is just a reflection.

I think Steiners cosmology is a "middle ground " between pure gnosticism and exoteric churchianity. In his cosmology we are part of earth and the perfected "way" is to evolve with the earth . We descend deep into matter in order to fully individuate and then re-spiritualize as an individual soul.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but my basic superficial understanding of the bare-bones narrative of "Gnosticism" via Nag Hammadi, is that the entire physical _universe_ (and adjoining Planes) is the misbegotten creation of a misbegotten Creator, either directly or through His cohorts. I don't think I can "roll" with that. It's a big universe. Moreover, it inserts a fetid duality between the corporeal realm (lowly, outside and bereft of Divinity) and the more pleasing, energetic non-physical domains of Existence beyond. My suspicion is that those who writhe in revulsion against their flesh (been there, done that, _still_ not really digg'n it) are condemned to be reincarnated back into it, until they can realize the ultimate 'Divinity' inherent within it, and all things in this lower domain, particularly relating to the Earth experience. This weird haunted planet rides the knife's edge of being an existential boot-camp for a soul to grow through, while also being an effective concentration/prison-camp for those who can't transcend their illusions. Not recommended, at any rate. Unless your soul enjoys extreme pain, or extreme pleasure morphing-into extreme pain. That seems to be the basic Program here... fun fun _fun_

A Gnostic cleric is really there to initiate baptism, marriage, or assist in a lay person's understanding of the notoriously difficult writing of the Nag Hammadi scriptures. Priests and bishops are still important to Gnosticism.

Sophia, tried to create a mate, a duality , for the father, her thought could have been that all the aeons both have a masculine and feminine counterpart, thus if I look at the result of her creation, the blind ignorant one thinking he is the supernal being, I come to the conclusion, that she wanted to create a counterpart for the father. Just a thought!

But the Father has a consort - Barbello

I don’t quite get how folks end up panicking about the cosmology. Christ was sent to give us gnosis. By a miracle, these works were saved and are making their way into the zeitgeist. Did you ever do a follow up?

Yes, two videos followed this one, they're linked in the description. 🙏

There is no question in my mind that PKD was on to something somewhere between enlightened and insane; with the upshot that he was getting or had gotten some sort of unique download. Anyone who has read his work at any depth can see that we are dealing with something like genius. He is not easy to read, often very dark, often self aware and cynical, often a product of the zeitgeist whence he formed. A Scanner Darkly is not my favorite novel of his, I found much of it to be disturbing and tedious, but it is genius nonetheless. He worked too hard, and dug himself an early grave. The Exegesis of PKD is like 1000 pages. He wrote it frantically, and wasn't meant for any eyes but his own.

Right! And still the 1000 published Exegesis pages are just a fraction of what he wrote - apparently he wrote enough pages to filll a garage!
