Awakening Consciousness

Gnostic Insights ·

2024/05/18

The Father is consciousness itself, and off of that initial consciousness come fractals that are each a unit of the Father's consciousness. The Universal Unit of Consciousness holds all of the blueprints and all of the potentialities for our entire universe, as thought arising out of the originating Father’s consciousness. And each one of the fractal iterations that come off of that Universal Unit of Consciousness also holds the potentiality of the Father as expressed by the Son. These fractal

The Son of the God Above All Gods

Gnostic Insights ·

2024/05/09

How is it that we can claim to know these characteristics of the Father—his sweetness, his greatness, and so forth? Well, that is because the Father reveals his own characteristics through what is called the Son, and the Son is actually the God that we are able to relate to. The Son is the relatable father to us and to the Aeons, whereas the Son is the only Son of that Father who is otherwise inexpressible. The Son does reflect and incorporate the characteristics of the Father, so it seems to me

The Nature of the Gnostic God

Gnostic Insights ·

2024/05/04

The Father is the ground state of consciousness, and so this is why we begin to build out from the Father the flow of consciousness. The word for that sort of study is “cosmogony,” which is defined as the study of the origins of the universe. This makes the most sense to me–to start at the very beginning and then to go through the entire process of how everything came to be and who the principal players are and then, after that is established, to see how that applies to our lives. Then we can ask,

You, Your Body, and All of the Pleromas of God

Gnostic Insights ·

2024/04/27

You need to be kind and respectful to everyone below you, to the Fullness of the pleroma of your body that's keeping you alive, and to remember that each one of those little units of consciousness, each one of those little cells and organs and processes that make up your physical body are fractal emanations of the Aeons of the Fullness above. They each came down as you were being formed from the egg on up. The molecules belong to the Demiurge, but all of the living parts belong to the Fullness of

The Logos of Life

Gnostic Insights ·

2024/04/20

You don't want to go marching around in righteous indignation. You want to return to grace and righteousness—true righteousness. So the moment you recognize that the Demiurge has gotten you again, that's called repentance. You say, oh, wait a minute, back off, and you return to righteousness. And every time you allow one of these small corrections to take place, it becomes easier and easier and the longer and longer you can allow the 3rd Order of Powers to sit on the throne of your Self.

In the Origin, there was Logos

Gnostic Insights ·

2024/04/13

“In the origin there was the Logos and the Logos was present with GOD (the God Above All Gods) and the Logos was god. This one was present with GOD in the origin. All things came to be through him (Logos) and without him came not a single thing that has come to be. In him was life and this life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not conquer it.” (John 1:1-6)

Spirit, Mind, Body: Spirit down, mud up

Gnostic Insights ·

2024/04/06

When we second order powers came down, we came not only with the good thoughts of the Fullness of God, but we came down with the presumptuous thought that Logos had peeled off of himself, that being his over-reaching ego. And that is why we have both the higher Self and we have an egoic structure, the ego. Our ego is a reflection of the Fall. All of the Aeons, the first order of powers, also have egos. But their egos are simply their position, place, name, rank, and duties. It’s the thing that

Gnostic Easter—He and We Are Risen!

Gnostic Insights ·

2024/03/29

The Christ is not exactly the same as the Son of God. Conventional Christianity has conflated the Son of God with the Christ and then with Jesus. They've put all three of these separate individuals into one unit. But we would say that the Son is the original monad out of the Father, from whence all consciousness emanates. But the Christ—he’s something else. We Second Order Powers are the children of the Aeons. We are representations of the living images above. We've not been abandoned down here

“Who is the image of the invisible God, firstborn of all creation, because in him were created all things in the heavens and on Earth, the visible as well as the invisible (whether Thrones or Lordships or Archons or Powers); All things were created through him and for him, and he is before all things and all things hold together in him, And he is the head of the body of the assembly—who is the origin, firstborn from the dead, so that he might himself hold first place in all things—For in him all of

The Gnostic Lord’s Prayer

Gnostic Insights ·

2024/03/16

In the Lord's prayer, Jesus suggests that we pray for the Father’s will to be done on Earth as it is in heaven. So here we are trying to bring the perfection and the love and all of the virtues and the knowledge, the true knowledge, onto the Earth. That's the job of the 2nd order powers. We embody the Fullness of God on this fallen plane. That's what it means: “Your will be done on Earth as it is in heaven.” And that will is expressed through us.

The 23rd Psalm

“Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.” Well, that's very reassuring. So the rest of my life here, all the days of my life that I have left in this material world, I'll be followed by, I'll be near to, goodness and mercy all along. Something might happen to me. I might stumble, I might stub my toe. I might run into some snafu, which we do pretty much every day. But goodness and mercy follow me there. Right there. I can

Gnosis or Not Gnosis?

Gnostic Insights ·

2024/03/02

The Demiurge is all about power, control, and mastery, and the Demiurge only allows power to humans who have agreed to serve him. On the other side of the Gnostic ledger—the side that I am promoting—gnosis is not occult. It’s open. It's known. It's personally accessible and, very importantly, it does not have anything to do with mastery or power. It has to do with letting go and letting God. It has to do with relinquishing personal control—taking your ego, your astrologer ego, your alchemist ego,

Our Awesome Origin

Something I heard this week on the radio and something you hear all the time is someone exclaiming, I can't believe God loves me! I can't believe that this great and powerful God even knows who I am, even cares about me. Even says that he knows me and loves me and wants to save me! People continually exclaim that and it's part of so many songs in hymns and popular Christian music. Of course God loves us! We are of God. We're on loan down here in the material world. We're temporarily bonded to this

The Gnostic Christ

Gnostic Insights ·

2024/02/10

The reckoning is self reflexive—from your ego for the benefit of your Self. It is your own egoic consciousness feeling regret for its past deeds. And the point of the reckoning and repentance isn’t punishment—it’s not a spanking by God. It’s for you to realize the harm you have done to yourself and others during this sojourn in material life, in order to strip off those egoic memes and rejoin the Aeons in the Fullness. Remember, the ethereal plane is separated from the darkness below by a Boundary

Consciousness–It’s a no-brainer

Gnostic Insights ·

2024/02/03

The neat thing about planaria worms is that if you cut them in half, the head half will grow a new tail and the tail half will grow a new head. Now, the interesting thing is that even though you chop off the head and the tail grows a new head, that new head knows everything that the old head knew. And this is a form of proof that the memories and knowledge that were contained in that planaria worm didn't live in the head. They were somehow living in the entire worm.

One night my heart hurt so bad. And I just said, God, please forgive me for all the things I've done in life. And I was like, I need to know you're here and that you're real. And all of a sudden I saw God and the most overwhelming feeling of love and light and warmth filled my body. This is an experience I will never forget. And I saw God. And I didn't see him like standing there. It wasn't like my eyes were seeing, but I could see in my mind this presence, and it was thick. And it was so warm. And

NDEs part 3: Reincarnation, Research, & Gnosis

2024/01/20

One problem that scientifically minded researchers have with the near death experiences and the past life memories is that the mind appears to be separate from the brain. They always want to equate our awareness and our consciousness with the brain and the brain's activities—that consciousness is a byproduct of the brain. But we Gnostics realize that consciousness is not a byproduct of the brain. It's more the other way around. The mind—consciousness—preexists the brain. It's the foundation:

Transformative Near Death Experiences

Gnostic Insights ·

2024/01/13

These people who died and had their near death experiences weren't earning a glimpse of Heaven. They just died in the middle of whatever they were doing, the way we all do. And yet they were taken directly into the Heavenly realm, and these people were sent back because it wasn't time for them to be dead yet. And when they come back, they bring the peace, love, joy, the conviction that death is not final. They have felt themselves in the warm embrace of the Father, or of Jesus, or of Angels. There
