Gnostics aren't evil; gnostics are the strong, standing in silence, a terrifying weight upon our shoulders. We set up all of the world religions and Christ was one of us. Where people fuck up religion is 1. Applying the message meant for them to other people and 2. Only those who Know should be teachers, Believers should not be teachers. It is acceptable for a believer to carefully teach only the scriptures, with no spin and no angle, but only those who Know should dare attempt teaching wisdom of the things of God.

It is true the enemy pervades and twists all knowledge, but I promise you the Gnostics aren't evil, nor are they opposed to Christianity.

If you can understand a world where the afterlife and Jesus Christ and demons make just as much sense as string theory and even classical physics, your life gets easier.

Just always remember when you meditate to not only focus your thoughts but also your emotion; you should have that same intensity when praying, as when you are distraught screaming into a pillow half an hour.
