Well, when there's a dispute about the text I don't quibble (especially if the person is doubtful of texts in the first place), and Step Bible at 6:12 gives "τοῦ θεοῦ] Byz ς WH omit] D itd", which means that "to God" is in three traditions including the received text and omitted in two including an uncial text. But questions like this are based on preponderance of many types of evidence and you're indicating you're deciding it based on cohesion of a gnostic system that filters through Valentinus and others. That's why I asked about how we can decide such matters because a mere note about what textual critics hold today, or in the past, isn't enough when broader truth claims are in view.
you're indicating you're deciding it based on cohesion of a gnostic system
In Gnostic philosophy, the Monad is the absolute source, it is all consciousness, eternally existent and unchanged. And aligns perfectly with what I have been able to determine in my own life. Once I was able to break away from the church, and its teachings. I realized that everything in the universe moves and vibrates at a unique pace due to a certain energy level. Even what seems as stationary objects are actually in motion on a microscopic level because of constant vibrations. Everything, from our thoughts to our feelings, possesses its unique vibration. We call this frequency. The universe whispers only to those who vibrate at the right frequency.
If you pay attention to the text in the NT you'll see Jesus’s prayers were never requests, they were statements of alignment. Before raising Lazarus, he didn't ask the Father for a miracle. Instead, he said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me.” The connection was not being sought, it was recognized as already established, constant, and unbreakable. In today's understanding you could speak in terms of Positive Thinking. Thinking positive actually makes you vibrate at a higher frequency, and this is something we can prove today.
When Jesus withdrew to the mountains or prayed in the garden, the Greek texts of the NT describe him addressing "the Father" not "God.". Pay close attention to his words. In the context of Gnostic cosmology, this is not a familial or tribal deity, but an acknowledgment of absolute unity with the Source. When Jesus taught the Lord’s Prayer, he did not create an exclusive formula. He began with "Our Father" indicating the Monad as the source of all consciousness. "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven" - here, the kingdom is not a distant thing to hope for but the fullness of consciousness to be realized. Which is Pleroma. Prayer in the context of Gnostic philosophy is recognition, declaration, and alignment. Jesus thanked the Father for outcomes as if they had already occurred.
Jesus’s declaration, “Whatever you ask in my name will be given to you,” is misunderstood. And used by the church as worship and begging in his name. Jesus was not inviting worship, but demonstrating how to pray from the consciousness he embodied, the Christ consciousness, or Monad awareness. When you pray from this level, reality reflects that alignment.
