I dunno buddy... Religion should be about sin.
I always find the Buddhist/Gnostic "seek wisdom" stuff to be somewhat an appeal to arrogance.
Wisdom is virtue in all religions, but it shouldn't be thee virtue. If you use you wisdom for sin, you're just really good at sinning (ie: illuminati).
Read the image you’re posting under. OP posted an image and we’re all here commenting under it. It reads:
To truly see the light of the truth of the world, we must realize (use real eyes) that our inner Lucifer (fire, phosphorus, spirit) must rise like the serpent
When you say Gnostics have nothing to do with Lucifer while commenting on a Neo-Gnostic image that DIRECTLY NAMES LUCIFER you might be wrong here.
Gnostics are still around everywhere they are a plague on society. Most of our secret societies manipulating people today have the same roots as Gnosticism.
Egyptian mystics
Pythagorean’s
Gnostics
Neoplatonist Gnostics
Hermetics
Order of the golden dawn
cabalists
Sabbatean
Frankist
Jacobins
Freemasons
Rosicrucian
This whole theme had been played out for thousands of years. Weird religion claiming secret knowledge, life is a simulation, you can achieve godhood via gnosis/meditation/enlightenment. Seems to be an elaborate religion to justify any action on earth because earth is a meaningless prison that you can transcend out of.
It’s weird nihilistic mysticism that makes Freemasons dicks hard.
The origins of Gnosticism are obscure and still disputed. The proto-orthodox Christian groups called Gnostics a heresy of Christianity,[note 13][18] but according to the modern scholars the theology's origin is closely related to Jewish sectarian milieus and early Christian sects.[1][19][note 14][20] Scholars debate Gnosticism's origins as having roots in Neoplatonism and Buddhism , the due to similarities in beliefs
According to James M. Robinson, no gnostic texts clearly pre-date Christianity,[note 15] and "pre-Christian Gnosticism as such is hardly attested in a way to settle the debate once and for all."[22] However, the Nag Hammadi library contained Hermetic teachings that can be argued go back to the Old Egyptian Kingdom (c. 2686–2181 BC).[23]
Contemporary scholarship largely agrees that Gnosticism has Jewish Christian origins, originating in the late first century AD in nonrabbinical Jewish sects and early Christian sects
Neoplatonic influencesEdit
See also: Platonic Academy, Neoplatonism and Gnosticism, and Neoplatonism and Christianity
In the 1880s Gnostic connections with neo-Platonism were proposed.[34] Ugo Bianchi, who organised the Congress of Messina of 1966 on the origins of Gnosticism, also argued for Orphic and Platonic origins.[26] Gnostics borrowed significant ideas and terms from Platonism,[35] using Greek philosophical concepts throughout their text, including such concepts as hypostasis (reality, existence), ousia (essence, substance, being), and demiurge (creator God). Both Sethian Gnostics and Valentinian Gnostics seem to have been influenced by Plato, Middle Platonism, and Neo-Pythagoreanism academies or schools of thought.[36] Both schools attempted "an effort towards conciliation, even affiliation" with late antique philosophy,[37] and were rebuffed by some Neoplatonists, including Plotinus.
If you haven't figured out by now that you can't get the truth from Wikipedia for anything controversial, then you are both way out of your league and in the wrong forum.
Be a real researcher and read primary and best scholarly resources:
Voices of Gnosticism, Miguel Conner
The Gnostic Religion - The Message of the Alien God and the Beginnings of Christianity, Hans Jonas
The Secret History of the Gnostics, Andrew Phillip Smith
While some gnostic labelled sects indeed have features of neoplatonism, or parallel with myths of buddhism or hermeticism, that does NOT mean rhey are hermeTIC, neoplatoNIST or BuddhIST.
Or with that same logic Judaism and its bastard offshoots Christianity and Islam are just ripped-off Babylonian mystery control religions all worshipping the same false god moloch aka Jahweh aka Allah...
This gnostic luciferianism on the op is the same bullshit that the elites that are destroying our society believe and want the majority of people (the profane) to die because they're such idiots they think that they will become Gods afterwards.
Unfortunately they are just as deluded probably even more so than the profane they herd as cattle.
Well said. Absolutely agree 100%.
Gnostics cut out the middleman :
Go straight to the source and experience / know God yourself.
NO control, no hierarchy, no gatekeepers.
They were not an alternative Christian sect.
They were The Alternative to all organised religions.
That is why the church hunted them down, killed them and burned theie books.
And something outside, something alien, is causing the corruption. It's not us.
Is Lucifer your god? Is that why the picture OP posted talks about “our inner Lucifer.. must rise like a serpent”
Sound kinda devilish to me..
No. Lucifer is NOT my god, nor am I a gnostic.
But I don't defend brain dead idiots who don't get their history right.
Gnostics have nothing to do with Lucifer, even if some moronic Lucifer followers claim so.

Like I wrote.
Luciferic morons posing as gnostics don't make them gnostic, even if somebody pastes their inane droolings into an image.
You are argumenting from droolings of idiotic luciferians.
I am argumenting from the writings of true gnostics.
There's a big difference.

Go join a Masonic temple if you like it so much.
You are mistaking the wolf for the sheep's clothes they hide in.
Gnostics are not power hungry controllers.
In fact, that is completely opposite to what they strive for.
Hermetics, Masons, Egyptian mysticists are not gnostics.
And gnostics don't organize into pyramid like control organisations with hidden rites.

These are mystery rite schools.
Esoteric jews with a mishmash of western ceremonial magick thrown in
Insane jewish zealots
More power hungry, elite, owner class controllers with mystery rites foe control
None of them are gnostics.
Maybe you should study ACTUAL GNOSTICS?
Do you find greater knowledge through satan? When I read the meme you posted it’s talking about your inner Lucifer. That’s pretty satanic to me.
Hear here!

I agree wholeheartedly, the OPs post is about finding your inner Lucifer. Like it’s so in your face obvious the satanic influences.
