The Christ energy within can't be controlled so as it rises

Yes, people are beginning to understand, a soul that knows it carries eternity within cannot be controlled. A soul that sees reality as layered illusion cannot be confined by fear. And a soul that awakens to the real light of Christ cannot be enslaved by any false power, no matter how vast.

people will refuse to be treated like a slave

True, however, IMO, they know that. That's why they want to make humans slave to AI. Anytime you let a bureaucratic elite take over, they will think of ways of how to reinforce the power for technology. And this has led to the rise of AI. The bureaucrats in charge have no imagination. They have no empathy. All they care about is well, are we checking off the boxes?

Jonathan Frakes said, "Never happened.

I assume you're referring to the American actor and director. Neither you nor Jonathan have any idea what happened or didn't happen 2,000 years ago. And Hollywood would be the last place I would turn to for answers. The demiurge, you call him Yahweh, within the Gnostic narrative emerges as the pivotal revelation. The entity who molded our lived environment, yet not the supreme divinity, spawned from Sophia's solitary emanation. Jesus and Christ are not the same thing. Jesus was the man. Christ is the consciousness he achieved. Jesus became the Christ, but Christ consciousness existed before Jesus and remains available after Jesus. This isn't diminishing Jesus. It's understanding his true accomplishment.

Have you ever watched the Truman Show movie? it was released in 1998, and is an American satirical science fiction film directed by Peter Weir and written by Andrew Nickel. The Truman Show is one of the most precise Gnostic allegories ever put to film. a nearly perfect cinematic translation of ancient Christian texts discovered at Nag Hammadi that described reality as a prison created by a false god, humanity as divine beings trapped in ignorance, and awakening as the dangerous process of seeing through the illusion and escaping toward true freedom. every major element of the film. Kristoff as the demiurge, Seahaven as the material world prison, Truman's glitches and suspicions as Gnosis beginning, Sylvia as Sophia calling from beyond the dome, and Truman's final crossing of water and ascent through the door as the souls escape from Archons control maps directly onto Gnostic cosmology with such precision that it's impossible to believe it's accidental. This isn't subtle symbolism open to interpretation. This is a deliberate, carefully constructed retelling of the Gnostic spiritual narrative for a modern audience.

Have you asked yourself why so many things are being revealed to us these days? you talk about history, but our past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth. Until now... IMO we're living in interesting times. People are becoming awake, and starting to ask themselves "am I living in a simulation?". And it's not because any of our actions, it's just happening...

but now in 2026, MANY more woke up

It's amazing how much has been, and is being revealed to us these days. So, we're lucky living in such apocalyptic times. Apocalypse is Greek for Revelation. Jesus and Christ are not the same thing. Jesus was the man. Christ is the consciousness he achieved. Jesus became the Christ, but Christ consciousness existed before Jesus and remains available after Jesus. This isn't diminishing Jesus. It's understanding his true accomplishment. Something we're about to witness again, IMO very soon.

warning that the genocide against the Gentile race is around the corner

Genocide against the Gentiles has been going on for a long time. IMO, that was one of Jesus's objectives, to warn us about it. Let me tell you a story; late one evening in the quiet hills of Galilee, Jesus sat with his inner circle reading from the Torah. The fire light danced on the parchment illuminating the ancient Hebrew letters. They had just finished a passage in Exodus, a terrifying passage where Yahweh commands the Israelites to "slaughter entire cities, men, women, children, livestock, everything that breathes. Leave nothing alive.". The words hung in the air like smoke. Peter looked up from the scroll, his face pale and disturbed. he asked in a low voice. Master, why is the god of our fathers so violent? Why is he so jealous? Why is he so angry? You teach us about a father of infinite love, a father of light, but this he gestured at the scroll with a trembling hand, this does not feel like love. This feels like rage.

Jesus closed the scroll slowly. He looked at each of them in the eyes, Peter, John, Mary Magdalene, and he said something that would eventually get him killed. Something the church would spend 2,000 years trying to erase from human consciousness. He said, "That is not the Father. That is not the the supreme god. The god you are reading about. The one who demands blood sacrifices. The one who drowns the world in floods. The one who commands genocide and calls it holy. He has a name. Yaldabaoth, the demiurge, the chief archon. And he has been pretending to be the most high since the beginning of this realm. This teaching never made it into the Bible.

Monad as all Consciousness, but you also have him apparently unable to communicate, yet still able to emanate. It seems that if all emanates from the Monad then all must be present in the Monad, both communication and silence, for instance

This is a long reply from you and most has to do with you defending the jews and the church. At least that's my take at first glance. I'll attempt to reply to your first point, communication and silence. And it's an important point because most people think most important messages are communicated through words & speeches. They are not. In a world saturated with noise, constant notifications, opinions competing for attention, and an endless demand for expression, what if the greatest truth was never meant to be spoken aloud? Imagine that the most transformative teachings of Jesus were not delivered primarily through sermons, commandments, or even miracles, but through something far more demanding, subtle, and powerful. Silence.

Most people imagine Jesus as a teacher who spoke in parables, addressed crowds, and challenged religious authorities with words. Yet beneath the surface of the canonical narratives and echoed through mystical traditions passed from generation to generation, there exists another image of Jesus. Jesus, the silent mystic, a man who frequently withdrew from society, who chose silence at decisive moments and who embodied a wisdom that transcended language itself. The silence of Jesus was not passive. It was intentional, disciplined and deeply transformative. This dimension of his path has been preserved not only in scripture but also in esoteric Christianity, hermetic philosophy and the contemplative traditions that valued inner transformation over outward display. After his baptism, Jesus does not immediately begin teaching or gathering followers. He enters silence, 40 days and 40 nights away from distraction, identity, and social affirmation. In mystical symbolism, the desert represents the stripping away of illusion. It is where the false self dissolves and the essential self is revealed. Scholars such as Thomas Merton and Evelyn Underhill emphasize that genuine spiritual authority arises not from accumulation of knowledge but from the surrender of ego.

Why would Jesus choose silence when words could potentially save him? This question opens a doorway into mystical understanding. Silence in this context is alignment with a higher law. This alone affirms that the logos, the divine word, emerges from the eternal silence of the absolute. To return to silence is to return to the source of all creation, the Monad. Not Yahweh who could have saved him from being crucified. Jesus identified in the Gospel of John as the logos made flesh understood that speaking from ego fractures truth while silence preserves its integrity. You identify as a Covenant Christian, how often do you seek answers through noise, endless information and external voices? all these being sermons, songs and rituals performed in the church. What if the path you are searching for cannot be found through accumulation but through subtraction, through stillness rather than stimulation? Jesus did not merely recommend silence. He lived it as a spiritual technology, a method of awakening consciousness and aligning the human with the divine.

Many early Gnostics, some were Greeks but most were not, understood that Jesus taught on two levels simultaneously. One level was accessible through words, parables, and moral instruction. The other level was transmitted through presence, gesture, withdrawal, and silence. This deeper level was not meant to be explained openly because it could only be realized inwardly. Consider how often Jesus speaks in ways that conceals as much as it reveals. He tells his disciples that seeing they may not see and hearing they may not hear. This is not cruelty but precision. Silence functions as a veil that protects sacred knowledge from being reduced to concepts. Silence safeguards mystery so it can ripen within the soul. Available to everyone not just the elites. In the gospel accounts, there are moments when Jesus deliberately withdraws after performing miracles. He does not allow crowds to cling to the spectacle. Instead, he disappears into solitude. The Monad is found not in multiplicity, but in the ground of the soul, a place beyond images, beyond words, beyond form. Jesus lived from this ground. There is a profound teaching hidden in the way Jesus listens. He listens to the accused, to the sick, to those rejected by society. He does not rush to answer. His pauses are deliberate. Silence creates space and space allows truth to surface organically. This space is where transformation occurs. Jesus speaks only when speech serves alignment, never when it serves ego. This is why his words carry such enduring power. They are not reactions. They are emanations. Silence reveals what noise conceals. It exposes fear, attachment, and illusion. But it also reveals intuition, presence, and divine guidance.

Jesus's silent authority was more revolutionary than his spoken words. The silence embodied by Jesus was not only a personal spiritual discipline. It was a radical force that unsettled every structure built on fear, hierarchy, and control. Religious systems depend on interpretation, on authority mediated through words, laws, and rituals. Silence bypasses all of that. It cannot be regulated, taxed, or owned. This is why the silent presence of Jesus was far more threatening than his teachings. His stillness exposed the emptiness behind performative piety and external obedience. When Jesus retreats from public life, he is not escaping responsibility. He is reclaiming sovereignty of consciousness. In silence, Jesus remained inwardly free. This inner freedom made him immune to manipulation, praise or intimidation. Authorities could not negotiate with silence. They could not trap it in doctrine. they could only attempt to eliminate it. This explains why Jesus often instructed those he healed not to speak of it. When Jesus remains silent in moments of accusation or chaos, he is allowing the unconscious material of others to surface. People reveal themselves when no one rushes to fill the gap. Notice how silence shifts power. The one who speaks is often reacting. The one who remains silent observes. Jesus's silence was never avoidance. It was mastery of inner center, the divine spark. This is why his presence alone unsettled those around him. He did not need to dominate conversations or defend his identity. His authority came from alignment, not assertion. This path of silence is deeply connected to the supreme consciousness. Yet the path Jesus walked demands courage because silence dismantles illusion. It strips away borrowed identities and inherited beliefs. What remains is raw presence. This is why silence was transmitted only to those prepared. Not everyone wants truth. Many want reassurance. Silence offers neither comfort nor certainty. It offers reality. Jesus never forced this path. He invited, and withdrew when crowds misunderstood. He spoke plainly only to those who had tasted stillness.

Yes, as a covenant Christian... but have also studied the Hebrew roots of the covenant

That's why you try to make Yahweh one and the same with the Monad. They're different entities. And this distinction matters. Because the God of the Old Testament and the Monad are not two different interpretations of the same God. They are not two faces of the same coin. These are two completely different entities operating at opposite frequencies with opposite natures. The God of the OT is jealous. He admits it. He screams it. He demands exclusive worship and threatens violent punishment for acknowledging other gods. That is insecurity. That is an entity that fears competition because he knows he is not actually supreme. The Monad does not have jealousy. Jealousy requires separation. Jealousy requires a lack of something. But the Monad is everything. It is the Pleroma, the fullness.

I observed that the historical Jesus (Yeshua) was "so into the OT"

No he wasn't. Jesus came to expose Yahweh, not to worship him. Let me tell you a story. Late one evening in the quiet hills of Galilee, Jesus sat with his inner circle reading from the Torah. The fire light danced on the parchment illuminating the ancient Hebrew letters. They had just finished a passage in Exodus, a terrifying passage where Yahweh commands the Israelites to slaughter entire cities, men, women, children, livestock, everything that breathes. Leave nothing alive. "The words hung in the air like smoke. Peter looked up from the scroll, his face pale and disturbed. He asked in a low voice. Master, why is the god of our fathers so violent? Why is he so jealous? Why is he so angry? You teach us about a father of infinite love, a father of light, but this he gestured at the scroll with a trembling hand. This does not feel like love, this feels like rage. Jesus closed the scroll slowly. He looked at each of them in the eyes, Peter, John, Mary Magdalene, and he said something that would eventually get him killed. Something the church would spend 2,000 years trying to erase from human consciousness. He said, "That is not the Father. That is not the Monad. The god you are reading about, the one who demands blood sacrifices... the one who drowns the world in floods... the one who commands genocide and calls it holy. He has a name. Yaldaboath, the demiurge, the chief archon, and he has been pretending to be the most high since the beginning of this realm. This teaching never made it into the Bible.

When the church compiled the canonical texts in the 4th century, they removed every reference to Jesus exposing Yahweh as the Demiurge. They burned the Gnostic Gospels. They hunted the teachers who preserved the distinction because they knew the danger. If Christians knew that the God of the Old Testament, the God they have been worshipping, praying to, fearing for millennia, was actually the chief archon, the false god of the material prison, not the true father Jesus served. The entire religious system would collapse instantly. No more guilt, no more fear of divine punishment, no more sacrificial salvation. Because that angry, jealous God demanding obedience was never God. He was the impostor and Jesus came to expose him.

It seems like "evil with extra steps". Perfect creature commits horrible imperfection and repents but that's not evil, but it explains why other creature isn't perfect but is evil and ignorant

So, let me get this straight. Are you saying Sophia is evil because she wanted to have a child and conceived without approval of the Father? But, Yahweh is righteous and good when demands the first born of all Israelites? when Yahweh demands war? when Yahweh demands genocide? how about the story of Jericho or the Amalekites. The attackers killed every inhabitant in the city, men, women, and children. They killed all the oxen, sheep, and donkeys. They spared only a prostitute who had protected their spies, along with her family. "So Joshua... utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded." - Joshua 10:40

LORD God of Israel is Yahweh, the god of the Jews. The god of the OT. Is this what you honestly believe?

that don't quite make sense to me, as in saying "archons cannot create" but referring to the "creator, the Demiurge"

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. This material world is a flawed copy of the divine Pleroma, not the real thing but a simulation. So, archons created their own world but it's not real, it’s based on a simulation. Their influence comes from forgetting. When you forget that you are pure divine awareness, unbound by form, you fall asleep inside their dream.

You're not sure you're living in a simulation? pay attention. The moment you begin to raise your frequency, the matrix will notice. The simulation is designed to keep energy low, stable, and predictable. A state of homeostasis, from the Greek words “homeo” (meaning similar to) and “stasis” (meaning standing still). When you start glowing brighter, the system treats you like a virus, a foreign object that threatens the stability of the illusion. We could call this the matrix immune response.

In the Apocryphon you have Sophia conceiving nonconsensually, which is taken as evil because she is taken as having repented of it

Your take on this is either incorrect, or we have a different definition for evil. Sophia wanted to have a child. But she went about it in the wrong way, she conceived without the involvement of her male partner or the approval of the Father. Sophia immediately realized her horrible mistake and cast her child out of the Pleroma. To me, there is a difference between evil and mistake. It is correct to say Sophia repented, and the Father agreed to bring her back to the Pleroma once what had become lacking in her was restored to its natural fullness. I can see the mistake, but I don't see the evil here.

Moreover like I said before, look at Isaiah 45:7. "I form the light and create darkness. I make peace and create evil,". The Hebrew word used here is raw. It means adversity, calamity, disaster, evil,". Yahweh does not say he allows evil. He says he creates it. He authors it. So, my interpretation: Sophia made a mistake and evil came later. So, if Yahweh creates evil, he is the architect of the matrix. And a matrix needs conflict to run. Without the war between good and evil, the script would stop and we might wake up. He needs the drama to keep you engaged. Which is exactly what we are witnessing in the world today.

You've got some traditional skeptical teaching on the origin of Yahweh too. The "mythology" doesn't actually speak of 70 children

I just did a search and several links pointed to this. I admit I haven't done much study in Canaanite mythology, maybe you're right and El had only 7 children. Or maybe only had two. It doesn't really matter to me, I don't care.

translating that name as "I am", thus affirming the name and not just the monism

Let's put some context around this. The soul that became Jesus had lived many times before. There were several of these incarnations that prepared the Christ's soul. Adam, the first incarnation, where the soul first entered matter. Then it was Enoch who walked with God. Melchizedek, the mysterious priest king without beginning or end. Joseph, son of Jacob, who saved his people through forgiveness. Joshua, who led the people into the promised land. Each life added something essential. Each death taught something necessary. By the time this soul entered Mary's womb, it had been prepared through millennia of human experience to accomplish what no soul had done before. Achieve complete God consciousness while maintaining human form. This is why Jesus could say with authority "Before Abraham was born, I am." - John 8:58. He remembered his journey. He recognized his ancient purpose finally coming to fruition.

Jesus taught two levels of truth. parables for the masses, mysteries for the disciples, and many of the deepest mysteries were removed from scripture by church councils who feared people discovering their own divine nature. Jesus taught reincarnation openly, shocking many Christians. When he asked, "Who do men say I am?" his disciples answered, "Some say Elijah, some say Jeremiah," he didn't correct them. He was acknowledging the soul's journey through bodies.

Between ages 12 and 30, Jesus vanishes from the biblical record. The church says nothing happened worth recording. But, these were the years that transformed Jesus from gifted youth to Christ. Jesus studied in Egypt, in India, in Tibet, in Persia. Not because Jewish tradition was insufficient, but because the Christ message was universal, requiring universal preparation. The teaching, "I am the way, the truth, and the life" wasn't Jesus claiming exclusive access to Monad. He was saying the I am consciousness, the divine self-awareness he achieved is the way.

It seems the gnostics were mostly Greeks who liked the new Sophia teaching but didn't like the Hebrew god and who made up an according responsive narrative

Wow... I have yet to meet someone who is so into the OT as you are. And I know many jews.

There was someone famous who said "we humans are a species with amnesia,"... funny... What does "remember" mean?

I didn't start my reply with a joke, or a funny statement, I just anticipated your next question. I'm sure you've heard of archons, but you don't know exactly what is their purpose, since you're asking this question. The Nag Hammadi manuscripts spoke in depth about the archons and how our memories have been erased or reprogrammed by them. And here is the secret teaching of Jesus, if we bypass the archons we don’t get those memories back, we jump through the energy barrier that contains the archons and proceed directly to source. The manuscripts revealed this method to overcome them, not to fight them, but simply to remember. Not remembering in the usual sense, but a mystical recognition, a sudden inner knowing that pierces the veil of falsehood and reconnects you to the source. You know those moments when you hear something and can't quite explain why, but deep down you feel it's true. This is awakening your inner spark. And that awakening is what the archons fear most. Because the moment you truly see, it doesn't just dissolve the structure of deception. It opens your entire perception of reality itself. Archons don't fear weapons, rituals, or rebellion. It's clarity and inner knowing they fear most. Because clarity doesn't just burn through their shadow. It burns through the one that clouds your perception. Archons are not physical entities hiding in some corner of the universe. They are distortions of consciousness, echoes born when divine light entered the realm of matter and fragmented. They exist in the unseen layers of thought, emotion, and energy. And like reflections without substance, they are unable to exist on their own. That's why they're called parasites.

They depend on awareness that has forgotten itself. What sustains them? Your attention, your fear, your unconscious reaction to illusion. The archons manipulate through imitation. They copy reality but lack the creative spark of the divine. They are mimics, masters of counterfeit light. They whisper through collective belief in media in systems in endless conflict. The Gospel of Mary describes this as the kingdom of the flesh, a world where false powers stir desire and confusion until the soul forgets its own light. These forces aren't random. They are deliberate distortions, reflections of the archon's imitation of creation itself. They wear masks of authority and certainty, disguising limitation as logic and distraction as progress.

Their influence doesn't come from force, but from forgetting. Because when you forget what you are, pure divine awareness, unbound by form, you fall asleep inside their dream. And yet, the Gnostics discovered a weakness. The archons cannot create. They can only replicate. They can't generate light. Only reflect it, distort it, invert it, and drain it. Just as they did with the teachings of Jesus. That means every moment you remember the source of your own light, their illusion flickers. Every breath taken in awareness, every thought seen clearly withdraws the energy that sustains them.

separated Jesus from Yahweh and declared Yahweh to be the adversary and the physical to be the evil

Yes, here is where we disagree, or where we get disconnected like you say. And I understand why you bring up so much "the adversary". Gnostics hold that the world is flawed because it was created in a flawed manner. The blame for the world’s failings lies not with humans, but with the creator, the Demiurge. Which is exactly what I said "Jesus came to show humans how to transcend the Demiurge and connect directly with the primordial source, the Monad.". Church doctrine affirms that Yahweh is the supreme being, the only God, the creator of all things. But Gnostic Christianity, the original version, taught something completely different. In this understanding, Yahweh is the Demiurge, a powerful but limited being who created the material world without fully comprehending the Monad.

Yahweh worship can be traced back all the way to the ancient religion of Canaan. Yahweh was but one of many deities united under a figure known as El. Yahweh and Baal were merely two of El’s 70 children. According to the mythology, each child of El was given a region to look after. Baal ruled over Canaan while Yahweh, which was considered a lesser god, was assigned the land of Israel. In time, all other gods qualities were assimilated into Yahweh, who came to be referred to as El Shaddai: a title which roughly translates into English as “God Almighty.”. Because of the Church doctrine many people assume Yahweh and the Demiurge are the same entity.

You object to the formula "God in flesh", but how is that different from saying Jesus is the one Consciousness in flesh?

OK, I'll answer this. There was someone famous who said "we humans are a species with amnesia,". I just can't recall who at this moment. Jesus became the Christ, but Christ consciousness existed before Jesus and remains available after Jesus. He didn't come as the only son of God. He came as the eldest brother, showing all souls they too are children of God. "I and the Father are one,". Wasn't a claim of exclusive divinity, but a demonstration of inclusive divinity. Every soul is destined to make this same claim to achieve this same recognition. The church teaches Jesus was uniquely divine, different in kind from humanity. The Christ consciousness he achieved is your and my destiny, too. I was told in the past "This sounds like you're saying we can become God.". No, not become God. Remember, you are God. Jesus didn't become divine. He remembered his divinity while maintaining humanity. This is the pattern. This is the path. This is why he came. Not to start a new religion. Not to be worshipped as the exception but followed as the example. He clearly told us we are the Monad in flesh. The Gospel of John proves it in plain Greek. Now, do you see the difference with your statement "Consciousness in flesh", which is the how the Church puts it as well "God became flesh. That is the meaning of Incarnation.".

You object to "Obey Jesus", but how could there be any disobedience to him?

I think this is a misunderstanding. I object to the Church saying "obey Jesus", because the church replaced his commands/instructions/teachings with dogma. Everything Jesus taught was in the form of instructions (commands if you will), you need to be born again, feeding on truth, forgiveness, unconditional love and merging with the Father... all these were instructions for the same process available to every chosen one. That includes me so I gladly obey Jesus. The church tried to erase this. They failed. When it comes to the Gospel of John, the truth was written in a language they couldn't destroy and encoded in a text too popular to ban. All the Church could do was lie about what it means, and make Jesus an idol to be worshipped and obeyed.

What Jesus revealed to Peter the night before the crucifixion wasn't about salvation or sin. It was practical instruction, a precise method for accessing what he called the pathway beyond the veil. Peter's fragmentary accounts buried in texts the early church deemed too dangerous described specific techniques for breaking through what Jesus identified as deliberate barriers blocking human consciousness from its source. Jesus was teaching technology, consciousness technology that the archons had systematically obscured. Within decades of his death, these practical instructions were stripped from Christian teaching, replaced with abstract concepts about faith and belief, dogma. The question is, why was this specific knowledge so threatening that it had to be completely erased? The church can't erase it anymore because chosen ones are reading it now without the filter.

And there's something else. A lot of Jesus's teachings go against Jewish religious authority. Remember, Jesus is living in Judea, which is a Roman province, but the day-to-day administration is run by Jewish priests. And these Jewish priests teach people to follow the law, to follow the Sabbath, meaning do not work on Saturdays, to obey the law of Moses, to keep all the customs and traditions of the Jewish faith. But according to the Bible, Jesus says, "No, what's important is not following the letter of the law, but following the spirit of God. What matters is the condition of your heart, not whether you perform the correct rituals.". And this creates a conflict because Jesus is essentially rebelling against the authority of the Jewish priests. That's why he had to die. So, the Christian Church has turned "obey the law of Moses" into "obey Jesus", this is what I object to.

never inferior, but subject to Jesus in the same way Jesus is to the source. The teaching and meaning of the bride is pretty important, is that problematic to you? I wouldn't call this "inferiority"

Many in the past have called Sophia the eternal bride, the soul of the world. She lived on in symbols, the dove, the rose, the chalice, quietly waiting for humanity to remember what was lost. Now Sophia was rebranded by the Church as temptation, error, or silence. And the "believers in Jesus" became the bride. There is no concept of bride in Gnosticism. Jesus came to show humans how to transcend the Demiurge and connect directly with the primordial source, the Monad. That is why the church burned the Gnostic texts. The Gospel of Judas explicitly mentions that Jesus laughed at the disciples for praying to the Demiurge. The Apocryphon of John describes the Demiurge as ignorant of the true God above him. The Gospel of Thomas teaches direct knowledge of the divine without intermediaries. But here's where the story becomes dangerous and why it was silenced. The Gnostics did not teach blind faith. They didn't preach obedience to external authority. They taught direct revelation. They claimed that within every person burns a fragment of the divine source, what they called the divine spark. To awaken that spark is to dissolve the archon's influence.

As a man, Jesus always did what man is capable of doing

IMO, Jesus has always been a man. Jesus was different only in degree of awareness and awakening to the rest of us. He simply remembered what everyone else forgot. That separation from God is impossible. That human and divine can coexist. That heaven is a state of consciousness, not a distant location. This is why Jesus said, "Greater things than these shall you do,", have you ever thought why did he said that? Jesus didn't mean it metaphorically, he meant it literally. We think we're here trying to achieve these three things: immortality, reincarnation, and godhood. And the secret is love powering our imagination. IMO, we're here to imagine things. So this is the great secret of the universe. This is the secret that Gnostics have been trying to share with everybody, and which schools, science, government, religious institutions all the powers that be try to suppress because is a direct threat to this reality. This reality is false, it's just a simulation. But they want to make it real because they derive power from it.

There is academic controversy about whether Catharism ... So the aspect of gnosis you describe doesn't logically constitute an existential threat

I don't really want to discuss Catharism. I just used that as the first example that I could think of at the time, and perhaps that wasn't the best example to use.

Maybe a better example of what the Church would consider an existential threat is be the Gospel of John in the NT. Why look any further? IMO, the Gospel of John is a Gnostic text. Every Christian knows "In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God". But the Greek word they translated as word is logos. Logos means the organizing principle, the divine intelligence, the creative consciousness that structures reality. In Gnostic cosmology, the logos is the first emanation from the Monad, the infinite source. So, the logos already existed. Before time, before creation, before the material world, the logos is eternal, uncreated, which means the logos is not separate from the source. The logos and the Monad are one consciousness expressing as a parent too. Then in verse 14, John drops the bomb that the church has spent two millennia trying to contain and the logos became flesh and dwelt among us. The logos, the emanation of the Monad, the organizing principle of reality, the consciousness that is God took human form, not as a unique miracle that only happened once, as a demonstration of what's possible for the awaken ones.

The church turned this into the doctrine of the incarnation. Jesus is God in flesh. Equally amazing to the doctrine of the Trinity, but on that later. Worship him. Obey him. You're not him. You're separate, forever inferior. John wrote that the logos became flesh. And if chosen ones carry the logos, which John says they do in chapter 1 12-13, then they too are the Monad in flesh. Incarnated divine consciousness, not servants of God. God experiencing itself as human. The church's entire control structure depends on separation. Obey the church, listen to the priests, become & stay dependent, and most importantly stay separated. Now, the Gospel of of John constitutes an existential threat. They had to do something because it was too popular to destroy, but its interpretation was locked down. Jesus is God. You are not, end of discussion. But, they couldn't change what John actually wrote.

You say it's a consciousness. Who is the first person then? Serious question

Everything is consciousness. And can be scientifically explained. Maybe it's best if I give you a link. Clif High talks about “The Pulse” and “The Wave”, in summary he claims all energy comes from the fact we’re pulsing reality at a rate of 22 trillion times a second. So fast it’s impossible for us to realize what’s happening. Reality here could be defined as the simulation I was talking about earlier, but think of it as the material/physical world we live in. According to Clif our reality gets created, destroyed then re-created at this amazing speed which gives rise to the Wave. So, in his opinion everything is consciousness which simulates matter that stays together due to magnetism.

Watch this 40 minute video, Clif may be a paranoid person (genetics), but he’s no dummy. There is a subsequent video he created, also a long time ago, which goes deeper into different levels of frequency and consciousness.

Can you distinguish this signal from other signals that have similar characteristics? Serious question

Actually this is another good question you're asking. I have also been thinking about this for a long time. It's hard to identify & isolate such signal. In the Gospel of Thomas Jesus dropped a code that the church never fully cracked. He said, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear.". For a long time, people thought this was poetic metaphor. IMO, it wasn't, it was simply literal. He was talking about the frequency encryption. Think of truth as a radio broadcast. The signal is omnipresent. It is everywhere all the time. But the signal is encrypted at a specific bandwidth, a frequency of pure coherence. This is what I call the source or the Monad. The physical world, the reality you live in, vibrates at a much lower, denser frequency. It is fragmented, chaotic, just noise.

Maybe would be easier if I list three reasons I believe you know you are vibrating at the same "frequency" with the Monad?

  • #1: the glass wall. You have felt a distinct separation from the rest of the world your entire life. Have you ever asked yourself "Why am I feeling this way? why am I the only one feeling this pressure? Why is everyone else so comfortable in this system?". You look around and see everyone around you eating, drinking, and laughing. Maybe they aren't ignoring the signal. Maybe they physically cannot perceive it. Maybe you weren't crazy. Maybe you were just hearing what they couldn't. Plato described this perfectly in his allegory of the cave. Most of humanity is chained, watching shadows on the wall, believing the shadows are reality. You are the prisoner who managed to turn your head. You saw the fire. You saw the puppets casting the shadows. And once you see the mechanism of the illusion, you can never truly go back to watching the show like everyone else.
  • #2: system lag. The lag time between your internal thought and external reality is collapsing. You think of a specific concept and a stranger says that exact word seconds later. You have a question in your mind and the radio answers it literally. This isn't coincidence. It is rendering speed. Your frequency is rising so high the Matrix is struggling to buffer your reality.
  • #3: sematic gnosis. It is happening right now in your body. The Greeks called it gnosis, knowledge through direct experience. Your body is a lie detector machine. When you hear high-level truth, your biology reacts before your brain does. You get truth chills. That sudden rush of electricity down your spine or a sudden heat in your chest. An unexplainable urge to weep. Not from sadness, but from the sheer relief of recognition.

Doing good includes ensuring full coverage for how one's past sins have harmed oneself and others

IMO, it all comes down to foregiveness. This is what Jesus is telling us: I know the world is evil. I know that the rich and the powerful oppress us and we hate them. But, use your heart, have empathy and look into their minds and you will see how tormented they are. See how every day they live with demons that haunt them. How they can't ever rest. How they hate themselves and they hate the world around them. And when you see that for yourself, what you'll realize is they're more pitiful than you are. You may be poor, you may be a slave, but at least you're not haunted by demons. At least your soul is still alive. At least you still have the capacity for love and joy and connection. So if you really want to do good in the world, you have to forgive your enemy.

If there is present motivation as you describe then there is always fruit

I don't think it's the kind of fruit you have in mind. When you awaken to the source within, no illusion can touch you. Not the false lights of this world, not the noise of fear, not even the weight of your past. This is the secret Jesus revealed. That you could see through the illusion and realize you were never a prisoner, that the walls of the cage were made of thought. And the key has always been attention. Every time you choose awareness over reaction, truth over confusion, stillness over fear, you reclaim your divine inheritance. Maybe another way to look at your awakening capability is to compare it to a muscle. The more you work it, the stronger it gets. Pleroma, the fullness, is the realm beyond illusion. And that is the goal.

copies (even very poor ones) always work like the originals

But, they all require translation, copies and originals. Every single word you've read in the Bible is a translation. And every translation is an interpretation. And many are mistranslations. The question I ask is why were these mistransations allowed to stand? Why, when scholars knew better, did the institutional church continue to promote translations that led to guilt, fear, and dependency rather than liberation, trust, and empowerment.

Therefore there should be no problem with letting anyone else be priest, church, or saviour too

I totally agree with you on this. But, unfortunatelly it was a problem.

So the aspect of gnosis you describe doesn't logically constitute an existential threat IMHO

Tell that to the Cathars. It was during the 13th century that organized persecution of the Cathars and their faith reached a climax. Cathar teaching regarding Jesus Christ was very different from that espoused by the medieval Catholic Church. For instance they didn't believe Christ was resurrected (something you don't find in Gnosticism either). They also rejected the cross as a holy symbol, for the Cathars, it was no more than a torture device, and therefore a symbol of evil. I can't say I disagree with that. Cathars caught by inquisitors who refused to recant were executed, often by being burned at the stake. The Church also burned their religious texts so they can't recruit new members. And in 1321 the last known Cathar Perfect in the Languedoc was burned at the stake.

Entire libraries burned, communities scattered, teachers executed. What physical facts did you have in mind?

Do you expect me to list all the atrocities committed by the Church? I could write a book, but I won't. Karlheinz Deschner and many others already did. Here is a Wikipedia link to "Kriminalgeschichte des Christentums (In English Criminal History of Christianity)": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kriminalgeschichte_des_Christentums?ysclid=mkl1vkukso874162662

When I discovered Nag Hammadi it didn't change anything I thought I knew

It was an important discovery for me. The first thing I did is read the Gospel of Thomas. Immediately I realized that it fundamentally differs from key teachings of mainstream Christianity. The first saying in the gospel goes like this "and he said whoever discovers the interpretation of these sayings will not taste death". And then I said that's me, I will discover... and I finished all 114 sayings, and then I started to explore the rest of the manuscripts.

I'm a person. I answer to the highest person that exists. If the Monad is a person, I answer to it;

Well, Monad is not a person. It is the true source. The consciousness behind all consciousness. Monad doesn't want anything from you, it doesn't need you to answer to anyone. It does not communicate to you through words. It does not require priests to interpret its will. The Monad communicates through frequency, through vibration, through direct energetic transmission that bypasses the physical senses entirely. And the symptom of receiving this transmission, the sign that the signal is reaching you is a sound that seems to come from inside your own head.

if there is a most evil person

That reminds me of Aleister Crowley the self-proclaimed Magus of the Aeon, "The most wicked man in the World.". Crowley was also a heroin addict, and he was the self-proclaimed ‘Great Beast’. To say that Aleister Crowley was an evil man would be an understatement.

there's ever any need to do good instead of evil in that system

It's a good question, same can be said about the Christian church. The famous question: Can a truly converted Christian ever lose his salvation? regardless how much sin he/she commits afterwards. This discussion has been ongoing for centuries in the church. According to the Gnostics, the archons are distortions of consciousness, echoes born when divine light entered the realm of matter and fragmented. They exist in the unseen layers of thought, emotion, and energy.

IMO, doing good instead of evil negates archons influence on you and me and helps us with our struggle for spiritual liberation. The Gospel of Mary describes this as the kingdom of the flesh, a world where false powers, the archons, stir desire and confusion until the soul forgets its own light. The desire (money, sex, etc.) and confusion help the archons exercise influence over us. Their influence doesn't come from force, but from forgetting. Because when you forget what you are, pure divine awareness, unbound by form, you fall asleep inside their dream.

Why would the church story contradict the new-evidence story?

The Catholic Church was not born from Jesus, but from the Roman Empire using his name to maintain control.

Why would life-and-death matters be based on manuscripts hidden from humanity for 1,500 years, how would that be fair to those who came before?

We have already discussed the last part of your question. Time is infinite. This one lifetime is just one experiment, one attempt.

The Christianity you and I know today emerged from a brutal ideological war that lasted centuries. The Roman Church won the war. In the first few hundred years after Jesus's death, dozens of Christian movements flourished across the Mediterranean. Among them were the Gnostics, communities that believed something revolutionary. You don't need priests, churches, or salvation from anyone else because the divine spark already lives within you. This wasn't just a theological disagreement. It was an existential threat to religious authority itself. Now, using critical thinking, if people can access the true God directly through inner knowledge, what happens to the entire power structure of organized religion? The early church fathers understood this danger perfectly. They didn't just argue against Gnostic ideas. They systematically destroyed them. Entire libraries burned, communities scattered, teachers executed. For over 1500 years, we only knew Gnosticism through the writings of its enemies. Until 1945, when an Egyptian farmer discovered 13 buried cottices near Nag Hammadi. Suddenly, we could hear the Gnostics speak for themselves. And what they revealed changes everything we thought we knew about early Christianity.

What is satan the adversary of?

I'm still not sure I understand your concern/question about Satan or Samael. Perhaps you could be more specific which tradition you are referring to. For instance in Hebrew, the term Satan is usually translated as "opponent" or "adversary," and he is often understood to represent the sinful impulse (in Hebrew, yetzer hara) or, more generally, the forces that prevents human beings from submitting to divine will.

As I mentioned before we live in a duality physical world, where there is light and there is dark. The world is full of people radiating love, light, and nonviolence and the world is also full of people radiating hate, darkness, violence, and fear. We both can see that, to think otherwise is naive. You can choose to call the duality: black & white, good & evil, yin & yang, or god & satan. And you can choose to call god: Yahweh, Jehovah, LORD, Elohim, Adonai, or Sabaoth. You can also choose to call evil: satan, samael, abaddon, or lucifer.

Second, if we have infinite chances, that doesn't logically prove that we'll get it right

It's not what I'm saying. Life is not meaningless. Let me try again. Indeed we need to recognize that time is infinite. This one lifetime is just one experiment, one attempt. If you fail, if you spend this life chasing money and power and realize at the end that it was empty, that's OK. You'll get another chance and another and another. Eventually, you'll figure it out. We need to build our lives around what makes our divine spark glow and shine bright. When you're doing something and you feel alive, connected, purposeful, joyful, that's your spark glowing. Follow that feeling. Build a life around that. Don't chase what society tells you to chase. Jesus said, "Love your brother like your soul, guard him like the pupil of your eye." - Gospel of Thomas. And finally, we need to love our enemies. This is the hardest teaching, the most radical teaching, but it's the key to everything. The people who oppress you, who exploit you, who seem evil, they're suffering more than you are. They're trapped. They're spiritually dead. If you hate them, you join them in that death. If you love them, you might free them, and you'll definitely free yourself. Conclusion, the light that never dies. This is the story of Jesus. Not the story the church tells you, but the story based on evidence, based on texts that were hidden for centuries, based on the teachings of prophets and poets who understood the same eternal truths. Jesus was not and never claimed to be God. Jesus was a human being with a divine spark just like you and me. But Jesus figured out how to make that spark glow so brightly that 2,000 years later, we're still talking about him.

Logically, that implies that fun is a value

Just like I have already said. We need to build our lives around what makes our divine spark glow, that matters.

So we agree on existence of the Monad

We agree on existence. I disagree with your comment "If there's a Monad, and also a part-time architect named Samael, I think the title or name Yahweh better describes the Monad".

So we agree on existence of Samael an adversary... I'm not sure that we have any disagreement about existence of Monad and an adversary

I said Samael is an archangel in Talmudic and post-Talmudic tradition; a figure who is the accuser or adversary (Satan in the Book of Job), seducer, and destroying angel (in the Book of Exodus). I agree for jews Samael is an important character, he is an angel from Jewish theology, his figure is similar to the Christian Satan, but not exactly the same. I disagree when you put "Monad and an adversary" together like you did. If you imply Monad is a force for good and Samael or Satan is the force for evil, to me that doesn't make sense. It's like saying: Duality, exactly the physical world we live in. The Monad has no needs. He doesn't have an adversary. "For he is total perfection. He did not lack anything, that he might be completed by it; rather he is always completely perfect in light." - Apocryphon of John

Having said that, the Pleroma is that spiritual perfection that is in contrast to physical deficiency. Gnostics believed that matter was evil. This is another way to look at it.

Does that modify your statement Samael is an adversary

I agree Samael or Satan is both the adversary to Yahweh and his servant. It is Samael’s duty to act as adversary and prosecutor to Yahweh. Samael, in Jewish folkloric and mystical tradition is the king of all demons, the angel of death, the husband of the demonic Lilith, and the archenemy of Michael the archangel and of Israel. With this I think we both agree. But, my statement "What I'm saying there is no adversary" still stands... that is no adversary to the Monad.

your presentation involves a number of appeals to logic that were mostly first espoused in Germany in the 19th century

OK. I had no idea. I have not looked at anything specific from Germany in the 19th century. I admit I briefly glossed at Friedrich Hegel and the Hegelian Dialectic, which inspired both Marxist theory and existentialist thought, albeit in radically different directions. But, I wasn't thinking of that when I replied to your message.

I'm interested in whether I'm wrong or not

I'm not sure either if you're right or wrong. To me that's really not that important, we have many lives to get everything right. I'm not trying to teach you who Satan is, I don't really know myself who he is or is not. I read to LaVeyan Satanism, Satan is a symbol of virtuous characteristics and liberty. To Christians Satan is the god of this world, who has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. I read to to Muslims he is known as Shaytaan. To Muslims he is the cause of deceptions originating from the mind and desires for evil. He is regarded as a cosmic force for separation, despair and spiritual envelopment.

You appeal to "critical thinking" but I've used that and gotten different conclusions, so it seems we need to be clearer on how we use critical thinking

Sure, you're right about this. Let me get back to you. Now I recall Jesus healed the man born blind. The disciples asked, "Who sinned? This man or his parents?". They were thinking in demiurgic terms. Jesus said, "Neither". Jesus was thinking in spiritual terms, the fullness/the Pleroma where there is no such thing as sin. It was not about critical thinking, Jesus and the disciples were not on the same page.

(1) Yahweh's name is "Jealous", (2) Yahweh creates by separation (duality), (3) Yahweh seeks blood sacrifice; implied conclusion, Yahweh is not the Monad

I had a chance to read your entire message. Your first part of the message didn't make any sense to me and I already told you so. However, this is correct. Except the conclusion, I'm not trying to convince you "Yahweh is not the Monad". I'm not trying to convince you of anything. Why are you making this statement? I already told you this was established 2,000 years ago. We don't need to talk about this any longer, but we could even thou it doesn't make any difference. If you or I are not right, we'll have another chance, and another, until infinity. Eventually we'll get it right.

the answer were "critical thinking" then we might both propose structures that appear to be critical thinking,

Sure, again you're right here. But, what difference does it make if we still need to agree on basic rules of facts and logic? again I'm not trying to prove anything and once again I say, it has been already been proven (2,000 years ago). It doesn't matter if we "determine which is better", it makes no difference. But, we could still argue about, and that could be fun, but that's it.

So let me go very basic. (1) We agree that the Monad and an adversary exist

No, we don't agree on this. What I said all along there is a spiritual realm, known as Pleroma and physical realm created by the Demiurge (Yahweh). Yahweh is not opposed to the Monad or Pleroma. He just doesn't know what's above him. All he knows, or feels, or senses the Pleroma, the true light above him. He knows there are other forces greater than him. And he is terrified. Terrified that his creation, the humans who carry the divine spark will discover the true Father and stop worshiping him. So what does he do? He acts like a narcissistic abusive partner. Look at me. Worship only me. If you look at another god, I will kill you. He commands exclusive devotion not because he deserves it but because he needs it to maintain the illusion. We live in Yahweh's simulation, or as Hindus say we are living in Vishnu's dream, which is nothing but an illusion.

(2) When you say that adversary "exists because we validate him", I presume you mean he is benefited from our validation and deficited from our invalidation

No, we don't agree on this. What I'm saying there is no adversary. There is only a physical world that was created on the principle of duality, wright or wrong, good or evil. I will give a lot of credit to Yahweh for creating everything, it's an amazing job he has done. But, it has to work on this principal of separation, duality, there is no other way. Because Yahweh is unaware of Pleroma, although he sense it. When you go to vote you really have two choices Democrat or Republican. Many say your vote matters, IMO, your vote does not make any difference. It's just an illusion, again created for you to feel good about it. In reality your vote doesn't influence the outcome, TPTB always select and control both sides. Just like the physical world we live in (as above so below). I don't care what you call this principle, good & evil, black & white, the Chinese call this Yin & Yang the absolute foundational principles of the physical universe.

(3) When you argue against belief or fear, I presume you mean not to put any trust or reverence in that adversary, which I agree with

No, we don't fully agree on this. IMO, Yahweh only creates the fear so he can sell us the protection. Whatever that may be, religion, empire, institutions. It's important that we live in a world of fear, suffering and pain. Like I said when a living being dies in a state of fear, pain, and trauma, it releases a massive amount of psychic energy. The demiurge and his archons are cut off from the eternal source of energy, the Pleroma. This is their food. They feed on low vibrational energy, fear, guilt, anger, and death. The entire sacrificial system of the OT was not a system of forgiveness. It was a harvesting system. It was a buffet.

I'm surprised you buy these recent German arguments instead of going to the source about what people actually thought when Jesus walked the earth

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.

If there's a Monad, and also a part-time architect named Samael, I think the title or name Yahweh better describes the Monad

Yaldabaoth is the Demiurge which is Yahweh the God in the OT. AKA the God of the Jews. Yahweh refers to "the self-existent, eternal God" the name God revealed to Moses: "And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you" - Exodus 3:14 Absolutely not the Monad.

Samael is an archangel in Talmudic and post-Talmudic lore; a figure who is the accuser or adversary, seducer, and destroyer. However, in gnostic texts, Samael is one of three names of the Demiurge, whose other names are Yaldabaoth, Saklas and Yahweh. And Yahweh and Yaldaboath/the Demiurge are the same entity. Thus Samael is one and the same with Yahweh. Jews and Freemasons have the same God, Yahweh. Freemasons refer to their god as the "Great Architect of the Universe". Official masonic lore claims that G stands both for “God” and “Geometry”: "By letters four and science five, this “G” aright doth stand, in due Art and Proportion; you have your answer, friend.". The “letters four” stand for “YHWH”, the name of the Great Architect of the Universe (Yahweh). And Geometry is the 5th science, thus the Letter G stands for “Geometry”. In Hebrew, the language Freemason's Bible was originally written in, it is called Gheemel (or Gimel) and has a numerical value of 3. Throughout history, we see reference to the number 3 when we speak of the Supreme Architect of the Universe... no matter which language we speak! Here is more info: https://www.masonic-lodge-of-education.com/letter-g.html

But to the gnostics the Demiurge, the creator God, designed the systematic program to trap us in the illusion of a physical reality where we consume one another in this food chain of entropy. Even the very fact that we must consume food for our survival is a representation of the food chain that comes from this lesser god that feeds off us. Being trapped in the illusion of this reality, we become the battery for the fragmented realm created by the Demiurge. The Saturnian paradigm takes on the god element of the Demiurge through Saturn worship. All three Abrahamic religions have unique variations of worship that feed their life force to Saturn, therefore all three religions then feed their life force through worship into the Demiurge in its expression as Saturnian energy. A clear example of this is the Crusades, where those battling thought they were on the righteous side and that their god was the mightiest when, in truth, the violence on both sides fed into the same “god.” These “gods” can be traced to the degradation form of Yahweh, the malevolent form of Saturnian energy, and therefore the Demiurge of Gnosticism.

With the Church is not about right or wrong; Good! That allows bridge-building

I don’t know what’s “good” or “bad” in the Church, nor do I care. And I’m not exactly sure what you mean by “bridge-building”. You claim to be a messianic gentile, someone who believes in the NT, but at the same time who puts a lot of weight on jewish tradition and the OT law. In other words you strongly believe in Yahweh, some scholars refer to as the jewish "God", and you also believe are called to lead people into a personal relationship with Jesus, to convert others to Christianity, for them to be saved. Anyway this is my take from your messages so far. It’s not what I believe. And my issue with the Church is its teachings. Actually it’s more that, the Aramaic speaking Christians of the Middle East, the direct descendants of Jesus's own community, practice a version of the faith that looks nothing like Western Christianity of today. Many scholars who study historical linguistics have been sounding the alarm for decades. Yet the Western Church did nothing to correct this.

Sure, something is always lost in translation. And sometimes that loss is simply unavoidable. But part of it wasn't innocent at all. In fact IMO it was deliberate. And it’s not a fringe interpretation I’m referring to. This is what the Aramaic actually says. And Aramaic is what Jesus and all his disciples spoke. This is what the Aramaic Peshitta New Testament said before being translated into Greek. Many people don’t even know what Aramaic Peshitta is, and think the original NT was written in Greek, but scholars know better. And this is what scholars of ancient semitic languages have been trying to tell us. This is what the Eastern Christian traditions, the Assyrians, the Chaldeans, the Amorites have reserved in their liturgies, meantime the Western church built an elaborate institution on mistranslations (and deliberate wrong translations).

I’ll give you a couple of examples. Since we have been discussing hell, let me start with that. Throughout the four Gospels included in the NT, Jesus warns about hell, or so we're told. The English translations use words like hell, eternal fire, and everlasting punishment. These translations have terrified billions of people into compliance, created entire denominations built on fear of the afterlife and justified unspeakable violence in the name of saving souls from eternal torment. But Jesus never used the word hell. The Aramaic word that appears in the earliest manuscripts is Gehenna. And Gehenna wasn't a spiritual concept at all. It was a physical location, the valley of Hinnom just outside Jerusalem. It was the city rubbish dump where fires burned continuously to consume waste. It was a place of decay, of transformation, of things being broken down and returned to their elements. When Jesus warned about Gehenna, he was using a vivid immediate metaphor that his audience would have instantly understood. He was talking about wasted lives. He was saying, “Don't throw your life away. Don't become rubbish.”. The Greek translators used Gehenna, maintaining the reference to this specific location. But by the time medieval translators got to it, disconnected from the geographic and cultural context, they transformed it into hell, a word borrowed from Norse mythology referring to hell, the realm of the dead. The mistranslation was complete. A metaphor about wasting your life became a doctrine about eternal conscious torment. And here’s my point, no word in Aramaic corresponds to the modern Christian concept of hell. None. The language Jesus spoke didn't have a framework for eternal punishment. It had consequences. Yes, it had natural results of destructive behavior, but the idea of a loving God maintaining an eternal torture facility, that's not in the Aramaic. That came later. You could say this was accidental, but I don’t believe so. I think it was deliberate and done by some very clever people.

The other example I’m going to give you is a very commonly used term in KJV “the Son of Man” which is ὅ ὑιὸς τοῦ ἀνθρόπου in Greek. The Aramaic "Bar Nasha" or "bar enash". Jesus frequently uses it to refer to himself. In English, it sounds like a claim to humanity, perhaps a humble counterpoint to “Son of God”. But in Aramaic, Jesus called himself Bar nasha. And that doesn’t mean son of man in the genealogical sense. It's an idiom that means the human being. Or more accurately, the human one, the representative of humanity, the fully realized human being, the prototype of what humanity can become. Jesus wasn't claiming to be uniquely divine in a way that separated him from the rest of humanity. He was claiming to be fully human in a way that revealed what all humans could become. He was the pattern, the template, the prototype. When he said the Bar nasha has authority to forgive sins, he wasn't claiming exclusive divine power. He was demonstrating human potential when fully aligned with the divine. This understanding transforms the entire gospel message. Every time Jesus said Bar nasha, he was pointing to human potential, not divine exclusivity. When he asked what do people say the Bar nasha is, he was asking what humanity could become, what the fully awakened human being looks like. The tragedy is that by mistranslating this phrase, Christianity created a Jesus who was fundamentally different from you and me rather than a Jesus who was fundamentally like you or me, only fully realized. One interpretation keeps you dependent and small. The other invites you into the same transformation he embodied. Was the mistranslation accidental, IMO it wasn’t.

church's language isn't so wrong that it requires our opposition

With the Church is not about right or wrong. Just think about, you can't pray (how religion teaches) to the Monad because it's not separate from you to receive prayers. You can't disappoint it because it has no expectations. You can't be judged by it because it's not a judge. It's the very awareness within which the concepts of judgment arise and pass away. This understanding was and is absolutely terrifying to church authorities. And they should be scared. If ultimate reality has no personality, no commands, no specific will that needs interpreting, then what's the point of priests and religious institutions? What's the purpose of institutions claiming to speak for God? The entire structure of religious authority collapses when people realize that the deepest truth isn't a being you need intermediaries to reach, but the very awareness you already are. The political implications are staggering.

A personal god, Yawheh or El or Theos, who gives commands requires interpreters, hierarchies, institutions to manage divine will. But the Monad, it's not giving commands because it's not separate from what is. It's not ruling the universe. It's the consciousness within which the universe appears like a dream in an infinite mind. So, it's not about the language Church uses... it's about people waking up from their sleep. Once that happens the Power (church & empire) fall apart.

If the Monad is Father and Pleroma, what difference does it make if we call it our El or Theos as well, or if we don't?

IMO, the difference is by association. In the Apocryphon of John I shared with you what John revealed, there exists a reality so fundamental that even Yahweh, the biblical creator, is merely a distant shadow of it. The text calls this ultimate source the Monad, describing it as the invisible spirit that stands infinitely above every deity, every spiritual hierarchy ever recorded. Now, let's take a look at the Gospel of the Egyptians which goes further, explaining that all creator gods, including the one who made our physical universe, are just source. There exists a hierarchy, God at the top, angels below, humans at the bottom. Even those exploring ancient wisdom and the church accept this basic hierarchy.

John reveals "before anything existed, the Monad was.". Not in the beginning, God created... But before beginning itself, before existence, before the very possibility of creation, there was this. Because the Monad isn't a being at all. It's not a person, not a deity, not some cosmic grandfather with beard. Genesis gives us a God who speaks, who walks in the garden, who gets angry, who makes plans. But, the Monad doesn't speak because it's the silence from which all words emerge. It doesn't create because it is the space within which all creation unfolds. Are you beginning to see the difference between the Monad and El?

Let me go a bit further; have you ever questioned how thoughts arise in your mind? Where do they come from? many would say there is this aware, infinite space. I would argue this is consciousness that's present before any thought appears, during the thought and after it disappears. Thoughts don't create this awareness. They manifest within it. Now imagine that awareness without any thoughts at all, without any content whatsoever, infinite and eternal. That is the Monad. It is invisible, it is infinite (not just big, but beyond any boundaries), illimitable since there is nothing before it to limit it. But, the most important characteristic of the Monad, it's unknowable. Furthermore The gospel of the Egyptians states it's not something we can or will ever know. In other words it is the invisible light. Not darkness, not ordinary light, but the light that makes all seeing possible while remaining itself unseen. It's the awareness within which all experiences of light and dark appear.

Imagine yourself looking into a perfectly still pond. And for the first time, you see your own reflection. But imagine that reflection isn't separate from you. It's you becoming aware of yourself in a completely new way. You just discovered the Monad yet it's still unknowable. There's no divine command, no big bang, no let there be light moment. Instead, something far more mysterious occurs. You realize that you don't serve the Monad in the way a created being serves a creator. Not the way the Church and every religion on earth teaches. We're witnessing the natural overflow of infinite consciousness recognizing itself in ever-expanding ways.

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.

  1. Luke 6:11-12 KJV: "Jesus ... went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God"

Not KJV, look at original Greek texts. In the passages where Jesus withdraws to pray, whether on the mountain during the 40 days in the desert or in the garden of Gethsemane, the manuscripts do not say that he prayed to God. They specifically mention that he prayed to the Father. Also in Luke 11:2 even in KJV he teaches to pray to the Father "And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.".

OK. There are no links. Let me break the message down into two parts. And I'll send them separately.

  1. Suffice that there is a cabal, they are satanists

I think we can agree the Sabbatean-Frankists founded the state of Israel and they are in prominent positions in Israel. And that helps us to understand what's going on today in Israel. But not only that, they are embedded in the Catholic Church, in the financial industry, in the national security apparatus. And no one knows who they are because their religion, Kabbalah, requires them to maintain absolute secrecy. These people secretly run the world. And we can imagine that other groups that are similar to them that hold similar philosophies, similar practices also hold power. And these include the Freemasons and also include the Jesuits.

Add to these Christian-Zionists, the Mormons, etc... so you have different groups but they all believe that their eschatological framework requires a a war in which Israel fights the whole world. And when that happens, then magic happens and Jesus returns or the Jewish Messiah (Moshiach) arrives or world government is created and Jerusalem becomes heaven on earth.

So you have these different secret societies out there and no one knows about them because the first rule of the fight club is they don't exist. But I believe they're the ones who hold true power and when their interests align then things happen.

I haven't seen that. I blocked him right after I replied to your message. Actually, I'm not even interested to read anything he writes any longer.
