"To those who belong to the remembrance, however, he revealed the thought ... with the intention that it should draw them into a communion with the material. This was in order to provide them with a structure and a dwelling place, but also in order that by being drawn toward evil they should acquire a weak basis for their existence, so that, instead of rejoicing unduly in the glory of their own environment and thereby remaining exiled, they might rather perceive the sickness they were suffering

All Is One–A Conversation with my Brother

Gnostic Insights ·

2025/06/13

The reason there is quantum entanglement is because there is no space and time. All potentialities exist within the mind of the Father and our consciousness notices one after another, giving the illusion of time and space. The Demiurge organizes the confusion of the Fall and that is the imitation. At the end of time, illusion drops away and all are redeemed into the ethereal awareness of pure consciousness.

We Are the Second Order of Powers

Gnostic Insights ·

2025/06/07

These new creatures that were devised are better than the Deficiency because they come from the union of the entire Fullness, whereas the Deficiency came out of a mistaken solo effort by Logos alone. Out of this union of the Fullness and Logos came what are called the Second Order Powers, and these powers are better and greater than those of the imitation because they did not come into being out of ego and out of lack of thought. This new fruit of the Fullness and Logos was fitted purposely into the

Tessa Lena’s Letter to Fellow Dissidents

2025/05/31

It's not great to feel different from other people like this, and you honestly just want to fit in with your friends and not stick out like a sore thumb all the time. And you try to blend in. Oh, you try.You work hard to be normal. You try telling yourself that you are probably crazy. You deny the evidence of your lying eyes. It turns out that a life of compliance is not enough for you, though. Other people seem to be getting away with living shallow in a man-made matrix world, but not you. Your

Gnostic Memes of Jesus, pt. 2

We are to have peace no matter the circumstances in which we find ourselves. The Demiurge is always trying to rile us up. The job of the archons is to bedevil us and to make us feel horrible, to knock us off our game, to take the love and light out of our lives. The Demiurge wants to bring us down to its level, down to the level of the archons, which is ego, negative emotions, vice, addictions, anger, hatred. That's all demonic. That's all demiurgic. Christ said, I want you to have peace in this

First Emanations of Consciousness

Gnostic Insights ·

2025/05/17

When their generations had been established, the one who is in control wished to lay hold of and to bring forth that which was not yet manifest, and he brought forth those within him.For that reason the Father had also thought in advance that they should exist not only for himself, but should exist for themselves as well, that they should remain in thought as mental substance, but also exist for themselves.

When we invite Christ in—let’s say you're at a revival or you listen to an old Billy Graham sermon on the radio or you're reading the book of John in the Bible and you have the urge to invite Christ to take over your life, that is what it means to invite Christ into your soul—and Christ is a different order of powers than we are. We are what's called Second Order of Powers. The First Order of Powers were the Aeons; we're the Second Order of Powers. The Third Order of Powers is the Christ. And there

The Father of All Consciousness

Gnostic Insights ·

2025/05/02

I like to begin with the cosmos as it unfolded and rolled out. 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, why are we here? Is there a purpose to our lives? How should we live

Ego, Self, Body–Who Are You?

Gnostic Insights ·

2025/04/26

We are not just one big clump of consciousness but are made up of different sub-selves. In other words, who are you? When you say “I” what is that I? Who is that me? What is the difference between your ego and your Self or what people call your soul and spirit? Who runs the show? What’s the difference between being selfish and selfless? How is ego related to selfishness? And finally, is having a strong ego a bad thing?

Gnostic Easter Message 2025

Gnostic Insights ·

2025/04/18

Salvation is meant to bring you back into alignment with the glory of God. Jesus is our exemplar of a blameless life. Jesus is the first of the Second Order Powers that came fully loaded with the Third Order of Powers. That's why he's called Jesus the Anointed. He walked with the truth and spirit and love of the Father at all times, and through the power of the Christ we are to emulate Jesus. The presence of Jesus is not simply a fairy tale as so many people claim, plugging Jesus into history in the

Earnest Lies of History

2025/04/12

What Christianity has become by virtue of the histories written by it is another tale of those in power—those in power wielding Christianity this way or that, whereas the way Christianity started was a different story that needs to be retold in every age, because it's about nameless people and disenfranchised people whose world has been invaded by Christ. We don't hear from those disenfranchised people in history. We only hear about the big people. We only hear from the famous historians, the famous

We Are the Children of the Most High God

Gnostic Insights ·

2025/04/05

Here is an odd thing about Christians and the New Testament. There are many things that managed to slip by the Nicene Council when they were purging the gnosis from scripture. There's plenty of gnosis still in the New Testament, but Christians kind of skip over that part. The Bible says we are the “sons of Elohim,” usually translated as “children of God.” In the modern vernacular I use in A Simple Explanation of the Gnostic Gospel, we are the fractals of the Spirit of God. We are the fruit of the

Mapping the Gnostic Gospel 2015-2025

In 2015 I first mapped the Gnostic Cosmogeny. I’m going to go through it with you today to see how this gnosis has held up over the past 10 years.The obvious improvement is the quality of my illustrations. I thought it would be a treat for you to see how they have evolved. This was the original mapping of the new Gnostic Gospel. These concepts have been more colorfully illustrated, although the original mapping still holds up. You may find all of this in its most simple form in my book, The

The Gnosis of Virtue

Gnostic Insights ·

2025/03/15

We humans are fractal iterations of the Aeons of the Fullness. We are their fruit. We have dim memories of a perfect Paradise, as dreamt by the Fullness. We have a built-in longing for Fullness. We barely remember the Son and the Father, other than an expectation of feeling loved or that we should be loved, and we are locked into an endless war with the dark side of our natures and with other people who stand in our way.

Units of Consciousness, Free Will, and the Cosmic...

Gnostic Insights ·

2025/03/08

Most units of consciousness perform their work as expected. They do their part. They work according to plan, and that's a really good thing because that's what holds everything together. The material controlled by the consciousness of the Demiurge is foundational. If the Demiurge did not control the material, the material universe would not hold together and it would completely and very rapidly fall apart. On the other hand, Second Order Powers, who are fractals of the Aeons above, have complete

Dreams–Parables of the Night 2/26/25

Gnostic Insights ·

2025/03/01

While we are sleeping, we are open to the leading of the Father and the Fullness of God, because our egos are asleep, and so we can align with our true Self and with the Father more easily. Our ego in sleep relinquishes the control it exerts over our waking lives, and when our hearts are quieted in the hush of sleep, our governing unit of consciousness, our Self, is better able to commune with the Father and the Pleroma.

Is Any Sin Unforgiveable? Blaspheming the Holy Spirit

Gnostic Insights ·

2025/02/22

The Third Order Powers of the Christ are the most powerful force in our cosmos, far more powerful than we are and infinitely more powerful than the Pleroma of the Demiurge. This is how it is that once we accept the Christ and invite our personal Third Order Powers to enter into our soul we immediately feel the love of the Father and are no longer powerless to resist the wily temptations of the archons of the Demiurge. The Third Order Powers see through the lies and phantoms of the imitation. They

Tongues of Fire–the Coming of the Holy Spirit

Gnostic Insights ·

2025/02/15

Jesus was the first of the human Second Order Powers who to be anointed by the Holy Spirit. Of course, Jesus is more than a Second Order Power. He's always been the manifestation of a Second Order Power plus the Third Order of Powers. And we call that the Christ. We say Jesus Christ, but he's actually called Jesus the Anointed, and the anointing was the Holy Spirit. To be anointed signifies a special set-apart status for fulfilling a particular purpose or calling. And the calling of Jesus was to
