Then you say none of these equal the Monad. How would we determine the truth or falsity of that assertion together?

Perhaps it's not necessary for us to determine anything together. I say to you this has already been determined 2,000 years ago. And here is why, I'll give you a few reasons of why I believe this is so.

For 2,000 years, we have been told that God is love, that he is the father of light. Yet open the OT and you meet a different entity entirely, Yahweh. The one you believe to be the supreme god, the god of the jews, the god of the Old Testament. Use critical thinking, what was the one thing that got Jesus killed? it was not because he was talking about love, forgiveness, caring or compassion. One day in Galilee Jesus said something that would eventually get him killed, he was talking about God. The true God that is. The one that is pure love, now open the OT and you meet a different entity entirely. You meet Yahweh who commands the slaughter of entire cities. A being who demands the blood of infants. A being who drowns the world in a fit of rage and requires the smell of burning flesh to be appeased. Does that sound like the infinite source of creation to you? Or does it sound like a monster? IMO, Jesus didn't come to serve the OT God Yahweh, but to expose him instead.

The true god I was referring to, the Monad or the Pleroma, is pure infinite consciousness. The Monad has no needs. It has no gender. It has no jealousy. It does not judge because nothing exists outside of it. It simply emanates light and love like the sun shines without condition. And this is the key. Now, read the OT with this key, you will be surprised. The erratic, violent, jealous behavior of Yahweh suddenly makes perfect sense. He isn't a mysterious God whose ways are higher than ours. He is a jealous, insecure jailer protecting his farm. And the evidence is written in his own words. And this is Reason #1, his name is jealous. Read carefully Exodus 34:14. It does not say he feels jealous. It says his name is jealous. It is his core identity. Now use critical thinking. Why would the infinite creator of the universe be jealous? Jealousy is a secondary emotion. It is biological. It stems from fear. It stems from insecurity. It stems from scarcity. You only get jealous when you are afraid someone else is going to take what is yours. You get jealous when you feel threatened by a competitor. If you are the supreme god, the only god, who are you jealous of? The Monad knows no jealousy because nothing is separate from it. It is the all. Jesus never described the Father as jealous. He described him as a force that makes his son rise on the evil and on the good. Unconditional, universal.

You mentioned "God[Yahweh] is not the author of evil, but you could say he's the Author of authors of evil.". Any modern Christian pastor would say the same thing, evil comes from Satan or from man's free will. They will tell you God is all good. But Yahweh begs to differ. He confirms evil comes from him. Look at Isaiah 45:7 "I form light and create darkness, I make goodness and create disaster. I am the LORD, who does all these things.". Yahweh makes peace and creates evil. The Hebrew word used here [baw]raw which means adversity, calamity, disaster, evil. He does not say he allows evil. He says he creates it. He authors it. And this is reason #2. Why? Because Yahweh (the creator/the Demiurge) creates through duality. He cannot create the unity of the Pleroma. He can only build a world based on friction, positive and negative, light and dark, predator and prey, good and evil. Black & White the checkered floor or mosaic pavement is one of the most recognizable symbols of Freemasonry. It represents the ground floor of King Solomon’s Temple. The floors of Masonic lodges are paved in a black and white checkered pattern to symbolize this foundational temple floor. Duality. Yahweh hardens Pharaoh's heart so he can punish Pharaoh. He sends lying spirits to deceive kings. He orders a census and then kills 70,000 people because the census was taken. He creates the problem so he can sell you the solution. Just like the recent pandemic the whole world had to go through. A virus was created in the lab, so Bill Gates and co. can provide the solution (vaccine). Just as Judaism & Christianity create the problem of sin, and offer the solution of atonement or salvation. Yahweh creates the fear so he can sell you the protection. The Monad creates only by emanation like a flower releasing fragrance. It cannot create evil because it has no concept of separation.

This brings me to reason #3. The most disturbing aspect of the OT, the blood sacrifice. If you read the book of Leviticus, it reads like a manual for a slaughter house. It is endless. Kill the bull, kill the goat, kill the lamb, slice the throat, sprinkle the blood on the altar, burn the fat. And it is a sweet savour unto the Lord. Or "an aroma that will be pleasing to the LORD." - Lev 1:13, ISV I'm asking you again to use critical thinking, why would God enjoy the smell of burning flesh? Does a spirit need meat? No. But a parasite does. Gnostics talk about Loosh - emotional energy, life force. When a living being dies in a state of fear, pain, and trauma, it releases a massive amount of psychic energy (which comes for the source, Pleroma). Energy that is harvested by other beings feeding off it. a constant supply of death energy to keep the loosh flowing. Yahweh demands the firstborn. He demands war. He demands genocide. Read the story of Jericho or the Amalekites. Slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass, 1Samuel 15:3 Why kill the animals, too? Why leave nothing breathing? Because it's a harvest. Jesus tried to stop this. He disrupted the temple sacrifice. He quoted the prophet Hosea, I desire mercy and not sacrifice. "For it is love that I seek, and not sacrifice; knowledge of God more than burnt offerings." - Hos 6:6 He was trying to cut off their food supply. The moment Jesus threatened the food supply of the archons, his death was guaranteed.

I'll end with this, the Monad is silent. The Monad has no ego. The Monad does not need your validation to exist. The Demiurge on the other hand only exists because we validate him. Without our belief, without our fear, he starves.

Then you say none of these equal the Monad. How would we determine the truth or falsity of that assertion together?
