The Gospel of Thomas, one of the Lost Gospels, contains many sayings and teachings from Jesus, and is almost all words of Jesus. It says that one can find God within and gain gnosis and does not need the church or priest. Hence its no wonder this was excluded from canon since it's anti-institution.

Some sayings from the Gospel of Thomas read out loud. Very beautiful, eloquent and mystical.

Ted Nottingham's wonderful lecture about the Gospel of Thomas and the mystical teachings of Jesus that it contains.



Ted Nottingham's fascinating and spiritual lecture about the Essenes, a Gnostic mystical group that lived at the time of Christ. Some say that Jesus was an Essence too, but that's very debatable.

"Lo Boier" is a mysterious Chant left for us by the Gnostic Cathars, when they were killed and annhiliated by religious powers in the 13th/14th century. It is highly symbolical and contains a hidden message for spiritual seekers. Singer: Patrick Lenk.

If anyone is interested, here are some fascinating links about Gnosticism and the main characters in Gnostic theology, folklore and legend. If you follow them you will see that the characters are complex, as you might have expected. But when it comes to divine beings, they are probably beyond our understanding, so this is to be expected. lol

Some logical arguments and reasons why the Serpent in the Garden of Eden was not the bad guy and did not tempt or deceive Eve, but merely told her the truth and gave her a choice, that's all. Very interesting and goes against what we were told, but makes sense logically.

https://thegnosticdread.com/the-serpent/

The Deity Set

This concept goes back to Ancient km.t (Egypt) to the nṯr (deity) Set. Set is the deity of opposition. Though Set opposes the deity Heru (Horus), in the Ancient Egyptian’s philosophy, Set is not originally an evil deity. He simply symbolizes all opposing forces, which are necessary forces in the universe. Therefore as said previously, Satan is not a proper name but a title. It is a title for an adversary. When your enemies rise to oppress you, they are your adversary; therefore they are “the satan” to you. You can say our corrupt leaders are “Set”anic due to their abuse of power, making them adversaries.

So why do Christians call the Serpent Satan? Because the Serpent made Adam and Eve disobey and oppose the god Yahweh. Did this actually make the Serpent evil and an enemy to man though? Let’s examine what exactly had taken place in the garden myth.

The Garden of Eden

Yahweh decides to create Adam and places him in the garden of Eden – Genesis 2:15-17:

“AND THE LORD GOD TOOK THE MAN, AND PUT HIM INTO THE GARDEN OF EDEN TO DRESS IT AND TO KEEP IT. AND THE LORD GOD COMMANDED THE MAN, SAYING, OF EVERY TREE OF THE GARDEN THOU MAYEST FREELY EAT. BUT OF THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL, THOU SHALT NOT EAT OF IT: FOR IN THE DAY THAT THOU EATEST THEREOF THOU SHALT SURELY DIE.”

Yahweh commands Adam not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge. If he does, he will surely die “in the day that thou eatest thereof”. However a little while later, the Serpent appears to Eve – Genesis 3:1-5:

“NOW THE SERPENT WAS MORE SUBTIL THAN ANY BEAST OF THE FIELD WHICH THE LORD GOD HAD MADE. AND HE SAID UNTO THE WOMAN, YEA, HATH GOD SAID, YE SHALL NOT EAT OF EVERY TREE OF THE GARDEN? AND THE WOMAN SAID UNTO THE SERPENT, WE MAY EAT OF THE FRUIT OF THE TREES OF THE GARDEN: BUT OF THE FRUIT OF THE TREE WHICH IS IN THE MIDST OF THE GARDEN, GOD HATH SAID, YE SHALL NOT EAT OF IT, NEITHER SHALL YE TOUCH IT, LEST YE DIE. AND THE SERPENT SAID UNTO THE WOMAN, YE SHALL NOT SURELY DIE: FOR GOD DOTH KNOW THAT IN THE DAY YE EAT THEREOF, THEN YOUR EYES SHALL BE OPENED, AND YE SHALL BE AS GODS, KNOWING GOOD AND EVIL.”

Here you can see the Serpent has asked Eve a question about not being able to eat from every tree. When Eve responds that Yahweh said she would die by eating from the forbidden tree, he informs her that’s false. He tells her that her eyes will open and she will be like Yahweh, knowing good and evil….and that’s exactly what happens! Genesis 3:22 says:

“AND THE LORD GOD SAID, “THE MAN HAS NOW BECOME LIKE ONE OF US, KNOWING GOOD AND EVIL. HE MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO REACH OUT HIS HAND AND TAKE ALSO FROM THE TREE OF LIFE AND EAT, AND LIVE FOREVER.”

True Natures Revealed

This verse confirms a few things. First, it confirms that Yahweh is a liar while the Serpent tells the truth. Yahweh told Adam that the day they eat the fruit from the tree of Knowledge, they would die. However, Genesis says Adam went on to live another 800 years after the birth of his son Seth (Genesis 5). Seth’s birth occurs long after the events within the garden already. The end of Genesis 3:22 reveals the real reason for Adam’s eventual death:

“HE MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO REACH OUT HIS HAND AND TAKE ALSO FROM THE TREE OF LIFE AND EAT, AND LIVE FOREVER.”

Adam was from the beginning a mortal being, in opposition to Christian theology claiming Adam was created perfect and immortal. The latter has no biblical support whatsoever. If Adam and Eve were able to eat from the Tree of Life, they would have both become immortal. Since they did not have the opportunity however, they both eventually met their death.

This verse also confirms the natures of these two characters, the Serpent and Yahweh. Yahweh lies to Adam and Eve concealing the truth about the nature of the tree of KNOWLEDGE. The Serpent tells the truth. Also, the Serpent does not force Eve to eat from the tree, nor does it tempt her. It simply tells her the true nature of the fruit and lets her decide what to do. The Serpent gives a CHOICE. Yahweh however uses FEAR and DECEPTION to prevent Adam and Eve from eating the fruit and to submit to him. He doesn’t give them a choice, he wants blind submission. When they don’t blindly submit to him, he curses them and prevents them from eternal life.

Our World Today

Now applying this myth to real life; Yahweh prevents Adam and Eve from KNOWLEDGE and keeps them blind and ignorant. Who does this today? Do not corrupt politicians and religious leaders keep the masses blind and ignorant while withholding knowledge from them? And when individuals don’t submit to their authority, do they not try to take away those individuals’ lives and liberty? Does not big government use fear and lies via the media to control the masses?

The Serpent rebels and gives the KNOWLEDGE of self to Adam and Eve. That is really the only thing the Serpent is guilty of. This is akin to someone who rebels against the globalist system, informing the masses about the true nature and intent of their corrupt leaders. Of course to them, anyone doing such a thing is an enemy. That is why the Serpent is called Set-an. The Serpent is not called “Satan” because it is evil, but rather because it is an enemy to Yahweh. That’s not much different than a truth speaker being an enemy to today’s corrupt institutions.

Becoming Lucifer

Christians over time started to call the Serpent “Lucifer”, based on their theology revolving around the Isaiah verse mentioned earlier. Though the intentions for naming the Serpent “Lucifer” aren’t benevolent, it’s still proper from the Gnostic perspective. Lucifer means “light bearer”, light in an esoteric sense equates to knowledge or “gnosis”. The Serpent is the one responsible for giving the “gnosis” or knowledge of themselves to Adam and Eve. Therefore, it was their “light bearer” or Lucifer. This is why in many cultures the Serpent is not anything evil at all, but rather symbolizes knowledge and wisdom.

The Gnostics identify the Serpent as an aspect or agent of Sophia, the feminine personification of Divine Wisdom. Sophia reveals gnosis of the true “god”, the Monad, the Source of ALL things. This Source is ultimately above simply being a “god” or “goddess” in the anthropomorphic way most view the Divine. Sophia and the Monad are subjects that will be addressed in future post.

Conclusion

So in conclusion one must ask themselves, who is the true enemy of man? Yahweh, who, like our governments today, uses fear and deception to make his subjects submit to his will blindly? Or the Serpent who speaks the truth, giving man the freedom and choice to be something greater? To the Gnostic, the Serpent is mankind’s liberator and enlightener who gave Adam and Eve self-knowledge and realization. The real enemy of man is the one who would try to keep man ignorant and submissive. Who is the individual within the myth that does that? Yahweh, whom the Gnostic’s refer to as Yaldabaoth which means “son of chaos”. It’s a fitting name for one who causes so much devastation, death, and confusion within the biblical text. I will go into detail about the Gnostic’s view of Yahweh in a future post.

Peace, Love, & Balance

Great rundown of Gnosticism and why it was suppressed and kept away from the public.



Some good articles and web pages on Gnosticism.

How I Stopped Being Agnostic… and Became a Gnostic

In a world that presents religion and atheism as the only possible outlooks on life—and pits them against each other—I rebelled by becoming a Gnostic… a very different option indeed.

I used to refer to myself not as a Gnostic, but as an agnostic—someone who neither believes nor disbelieves in the existence of God. I used this as a safe haven to avoid the ridiculous debates between modern militant atheists and the radical religious right, both blindly believing in their own paradigms.

What is Gnosticism? General Overview

Gnosticism is in itself derived from the Greek word gnosis, meaning knowledge. This is distinct from mere intellectual knowledge. Rather it implies a deeper mystical or direct understanding of the nature of existence. It has to do with experiencing the Divine directly within one’s own self. Therefore, Gnosticism is not simply a philosophy. It is much more than that. A mere philosophy is solely a collection of ideas. Gnosticism employs meditation, contemplation, various sacraments and rituals that make this lost religion very unique. To qualify as a Gnostic religion, there a few shared concepts included in nearly every sect of Gnosticism. Usually there is the notion of an absolute, remote, monadic deity. Gnostics believe that all subsequent beings emanated from this Ultimate Divine Being. Gnosticism builds its conclusive foundation on the Fall of Man. Creation is explained by the Gnostics through use of a complex mythological and cosmological drama; usually involving the fall of a divine element into the material world that will only attain salvation via a process of awakening – the journey to gnosis. This specific knowledge is obviously a central factor that is achieved only through meditation and a redeemer figure that is varied in different Gnostic texts.

Not to mention that in the Gnostic Christian texts, they had a complete 180 spin on the Garden of Eden narrative.
They claimed that Jesus Christ was the serpent snake in the garden trying to get Adam and Eve to eat from the Tree, it was the OT EVIL DEITY known as the Demiurge who was trying to stop them. Christ (the Logos) was there to simply reawaken Sophia (Goddess of Wisdom and his female counterpart) to remind her of who she was (she resided inside of humans as the consciousness or soul). It was then through this 'gnosis' or 'knowing' you were divine (remembering who you were - Sophia) that you were able to ascend back to the Pleroma (Heavenly realm). Jesus (The Christ or the Logos) and Sophia were the lowest gradation of the Syzygies (a syzygy was a male and female counterpart), from the ultimate godhead known as Bythos, who created Barbelo (an androgynous being). Sophia emanated (procreated) on her own, without her male counterpart and she gave birth to the OT god Yahweh (the Evil Demiurge also known as Saklas, Yaldabaoth or Samael). This Demiurge then created this 3-D reality and earth as a prison planet for humans to worship him. Sophia showed the Demiurge that there were gods above him, and this angered him, so he stole his mother's (Sophia's) divinity. Sophia and Christ come up with a plan to get her divinity back and they trick him into breathing into mankind. Then it was through Christ (The Logos) reminding all these extra parts of Sophia's divinity within mankind (our soul or consciousness) that we were divine, you were able to ascend up out of this prison planet. Essentially, you were saved through KNOWLEDGE (of who you are - Sophia) rather than saved by FAITH IN CHRIST. This was the ORIGINAL story, but it was twisted and perverted by later Christians.

Great lecture on the Gnostic Gospels.

Many early Christians believed that all matter is evil, and the spirit-realm is good. There was no “sin” just “ignorance”, and the key to eternal life was found through “gnosis” — knowledge that was kept hidden from the masses. We’ll look at their many gospels and other texts that combine ideas Christian, Jewish, and Greek ideas which Orthodox Christians left out of the Bible.

Another great lecture about the Gnostics.

Who were the Gnostics? What secret knowledge did they keep? Why did they die out?

In Christianity’s first centuries, a powerful challenge to leaders of the emerging orthodoxy came from the Gnostics. “Gnostic” means “having knowledge” and these groups believed they had secret, esoteric information about life’s meaning. What were the secrets kept by the Gnostics and why did their sect eventually die out?

"Jason Reza Jorjani, PhD, is a philosopher and author of Prometheus and Atlas, World State of Emergency, Lovers of Sophia, and Novel Folklore: The Blind Owl of Sadegh Hedayat.

Here he points out that, while the term Gnosticism is very popular, few people really understand what it means. While it is a very loose religious movement, it does have certain common elements. Among these are the idea that our world is under the sway of a malevolent deity who is served by powers and principalities. He traces Gnostic movements such as Manicheism, Mazdakism, and the Cathars. He also discusses the rebirth of Gnosticism in our age, due to the rediscovery of the Nag Hammadi library."

Some great new videos by Robert Sepehr about Gnosticism and Esoteric Secrets. He is a great esoteric historian and anthropologist.

Esoteric Secrets of Gnostic Baptism - ROBERT SEPEHR

John the Baptist is a Biblical figure that is highly revered in certain religious sects. While he is considered a prophet in Christianity, Islam, the Baha'i Faith, and Mandaeism, he holds special significance in esoteric gnostic organizations. The Kabbalah is the ancient tradition of mystical interpretation of the Bible, first transmitted orally.



Alchemical Secrets of the Knights Templar - ROBERT SEPEHR

The Knights Templar was a religious military order of knighthood established at the time of the Crusades that took vows of poverty and chastity, but also set up a prosperous network of banks and gained enormous financial influence.
