[chicagognosis]

Spiritual discipline is what awakens us to divine reality, not belief.

Gnosis signifies knowledge from experience. Gnosticism, as a field of study, pertains to all the ancient schools of mysteries from both East and West, whose scriptures encompass the practical science of awakening consciousness. Gnosis is not isolated to the first Christians, but permeates all times, cultures, and spaces, for while consciousness is universal, the means of expressing such experiential wisdom of the divine is temporal and idiosyncratic to the language, mentality, and needs of a particular society.

Gnosis is what we have verified through experience and experimentation, predicated upon practical methods and personal effort. It is never the product of a belief system, of adopting a religious or mystical attitude, demeanor, or behavior. It is never achieved through attendance, adherence to, or acceptance from a group, by believing in doctrine or creed. It is the flowering and natural unfolding of the soul, which is created and developed when the proper causes and conditions have been met.

Just as there are laws that govern the physical universe, so too are there spiritual laws, causes, and methods to originate the soul: the awakening of the consciousness.

Therefore, the Greek term γνῶσις gnosis is synonymous with genuine faith. Faith has nothing to do with belief, with accepting or rejecting a concept in the mind or upholding a sentiment in the heart. Faith is what we know from facts, from witnessing and understanding reality. Belief takes no effort to foster or develop, whereas the awakening of consciousness and divine experience requires tremendous discipline and the application of spiritual works.

Is there any lore info about lucifer? I'm really curious about what he's like now/was like because in ultrakill it almost seemed like he was framed as an innocent victim of god's wrath also your AU is so cool!

thank you!! as for lucifer's lore, all we have right now is testament iv, which makes it seem as though lucifer was banished due to his questioning of god's goodness with the punishment system of hell. lucifer seems to be acting here in a role in line with the traditional "satan" who was meant to be the heavenly accuser (the book of job is the clearest depiction of this), but in this case he is challenging god's thinking as though to keep him in check as well. that's really all that can be said about him right now, and anything else is speculation at this point. for the sake of my au, my lucifer is definitely an innocent victim that had a smear campaign leveled against him by god so that none of the angels knew the true reason for his banishment. and for right now, my idea of him in hell is very much based on dante's interpretation of satan, who is so consumed by his own grief that he can no longer respond to the outside world, locked into his own personal hell forever. and man...to think of lucifer simply believing he's doing his job, questioning and opposing as he is meant to, while also following his heart which is FULL of god's love......and then his dad just evicts him immediately and slams him down into the pit until the end of time over it. i'd be crying forever too!!!

#reading lucifer as very tragic in this world #it puts me in mind of gnosticism a little #don't mind my p5 phase showing but!!! satanael opposed the demiurge's cruel treatment of humans #and was banished from his heaven for it #so it's just interesting here as lucifer seems to be siding with humans #which is. obviously not his traditional stance lol #cake answers #lucifer

From 10 Problems in the Traditional Catholic Movement by Fr. Chad Ripperger

Sometimes I come across tradcats saying they don’t pray the Luminous mystery and the Divine Mercy chaplet because they’re new additions and it makes think it fits this category of being gnostic because their reasons sounds really arbitrary base on their own whims.

I did use to doubt the Divine Mercy chaplet too but I read a post by a Catholic priest refuting Eastern Orthodox objection to the Catholic Faith stating that it’s changed so it’s not true. He said that God doesn’t just bless something just because it’s old. That simple sentence really struck me and change how I view things of seeing traditional as somehow being immune to heresy. And since God is outside time, He can decide to give us new devotions to pray at a later time period instead of during the Middle Ages.

I mean, it's okay if you prefer other devotions but saying that the Luminous mysteries isn't as valid as the other mysteries doesn't seem doctrinally sound to me.

If you catch me posting Bible memes I'm not turning into a Christian or whatever the fuck I was before my intense spiritual crisis 2 years ago (or was it three)? I went to school for academic theological studies (analysis of religion from an exterior view point) and recent books have me nostalgic and hyperfixating.

#if anything grief turned me back into atheist #ive been a few things #my dad was raised catholic but is a staunch atheist #and mom was sort of Pentecostal and sort of methodist and is a like #soft atheist who definitely believes in ghosts and curses and shit #and i was an atheist for a long time but i felt drawn to Catholicism #it felt like a culture idk #and then it got more and more comforting to non commitally hover at its edges through witchcraft and loose modern spiritual stuff #and perform mental gymnastics about it and mostly believe large swaths of its mythology without thinking about the moral and human side and #also not converting because i couldn’t face my parents if i did and i also was already aware that i couldn’t #but i kept convincing myself that The Church as an institution could somehow be good despite how evil everyone running it is #and then my education finally got the upper hand over my weird desperate longing to fully believe in something beautiful and nearly ancient #and also my father had repeated lies he didn’t know enough to spot #my education finally made me understand that The Church was only >1000 years old #that the gnostics (originally a jewish tradition according to bart d erhman and he referenced this as being commonly accepted) #were the group which the supposed messiah belonged to and the patristic church (catholic church 1.0) had them all killed #unarmed ascetics starving in the desert the people who wrote the earliest gospels and the church killed them all #there is no textual basis for the authority of the pope #the devil was a comprise #the saints were a marketing tactic #correction: the church is sort over a thousand years old but it went through so many iterations and eras before we got here #to be exact #the church FATHERS aka the church that will become the patristic church in the wake of these dudes #and im fuzzy on if the orthodox church is a fully separate iteration or if it and the patristic are used interchangeably #Catholicism as like a term comes out of the scism with Protestantism i think

I love reading about older philosophies and religions we didn’t really get to cover in college-level philosophy and religion because looking back at traditional Gnosticism as someone who was raised Christian is like.

Okay so Gnostics essentially believe there is a bigger secret god behind Yahweh who is an all encompassing whole of all aspects from which divine good flows and Yahweh still exists but perhaps as a more malicious deity who created the world with intrinsic conflict and suffering. Work. Like that’s legitimately fierce.

#I really wish we knew more about gnosticism it sounds so based #the last surviving place of worship that uses traditions from antiquity is in Iraq #Which if you haven’t been living under a rock is a grim telling of what happened to the others

"Unveiling Eternity: Navigating Cosmic Mysteries in 'The Virgin of the World' by Hermes Mercurius Trismegistus"

"The Virgin of the World" translated by Anna Kingsford and Edward Maitland, serves as an enlightening voyage into the esoteric realms of ancient wisdom and spiritual transcendence. At its core, the book is a sacred dialogue attributed to Hermes Mercurius Trismegistus, a legendary figure in hermetic and alchemical traditions.

This esoteric masterpiece delves into the profound teachings of Hermes, offering readers a glimpse into the secrets of the universe, the divine, and the profound connection between the spiritual and material worlds. The translation by Kingsford and Maitland, known for their deep engagement with mysticism, adds a layer of accessibility to the profound wisdom embedded in the original text.

The narrative unfolds through a series of conversations, revealing the timeless wisdom that has echoed through the corridors of history. Hermes, the mythical messenger of the gods, serves as the guide through intricate philosophical concepts, unveiling the mysteries of creation, spirituality, and the divine order.

The strength of this translation lies in its ability to convey the richness of Hermes' teachings while maintaining a poetic and engaging narrative. Kingsford and Maitland's translation captures the essence of the original text, allowing readers to connect with the ancient wisdom in a meaningful way. The prose, while maintaining its mystical quality, remains accessible to modern readers, bridging the gap between antiquity and contemporary understanding.

One of the remarkable aspects of "The Virgin of the World" is its exploration of the interconnectedness of all things. The text navigates through diverse topics, including cosmogony, astrology, spiritual rebirth, and the symbolism of ancient rituals. It invites readers to contemplate the profound mysteries of existence and encourages a deeper understanding of the self in relation to the cosmos.

As the title suggests, the concept of the "Virgin" symbolizes purity, wisdom, and the untainted nature of the divine. Hermes, through these dialogues, invites readers to partake in a transformative journey, embracing the purity of spiritual enlightenment.

In conclusion, "The Virgin of the World" is a timeless exploration of metaphysical and spiritual truths. Kingsford and Maitland's translation breathes new life into this ancient text, allowing modern readers to embark on a quest for wisdom alongside the mythical Hermes. The book stands as a testament to the enduring power of hermetic philosophy and its capacity to inspire seekers of truth across the ages.

The controversial Gospel of Judas is a powerful scripture depicting the relationship between betrayal and transcendence. While religious groups intensely, fearfully, and dogmatically contest its authenticity, this scripture is clarified through a comparative study of Samael Aun Weor's writings. Just as an actor plays a part in a film and should not be condemned for it, likewise the Apostle Judas should not be denigrated for the role he played in a necessary cosmic drama led by Jesus, the Master Aberamentho. By understanding who Judas is in us, we can better understand the ways we betray our own selves while striving for divine reality.

THE DEMIURGE IS REAL

#myart #vore.txt #gnosticism #demiurge #yaldabaoth #traditional art #art #horror #196 #Gnostic Lemuria

[tanadrin]

Revised version of "polytheism vs elaborateness" religion chart. I started with a list of around 150 religions, sects, denominations, philosophies, and spiritual tendencies, whittled down to 100 based on what I could find information on and what meaningful differences would actually show up in a chart like this. Dark blue is Christianity and Christian-derived tendencies; light blue is Judaism and Jewish-derived tendencies; green is Islam and Islam-influenced tendencies; purple is ancient Mediterranean polytheism and related schools of thought; red is Dharmic/Hindu-influenced schools of thought; tan is Chinese religion and philosophy; orange is new religious movements; black is other, unaffiliated religions and movements.

Obviously, "what is a religion" is a complicated topic. Some of the things on this chart might strike you more as philosophical schools (Carvaka, Stoicism), epistemological approaches (Unitarian Universalism), or different ways of slicing the same tradition. The scholarly definition of "religion" is sort of fundamentally circular, and that's not something I'm interested in trying to untangle for this entirely non-scientific exercise.

Religions etc. are scored on two axis: polytheism vs elaborateness of practice. Polytheism is a rank from zero to 11, thus:

0. Strict atheist and materialist, denying the possibility of both gods and the supernatural, e.g., Carvaka.

1. Atheist. Denies the existence of significant supernatural agents worthy of worship, but may not deny all supernatural (or psychic, paranormal, etc.) beings and phenomena (e.g., Mimamsa).

2. Agnostic. This religion makes no dogmatic claims about the existence of supernatural beings worthy of worship, and it may not matter for this religion if such beings exist (e.g., Unitarian Universalists). It does not preclude--and may actually incorporate--other supernatural, psychic, or paranormal phenomena (e.g., Scientology).

3. Deist. This religion acknowledges at least one god or Supreme Being, but rejects this being's active intervention in the world after its creation (e.g., Christian Deism). Deism is marked with a gray line on the chart, in case you want to distinguish religions that specifically care about all this God business from ones that don't.

4. Tawhid monotheist. This religion acknowledges only a single transcendent god above all other natural or supernatural beings, who is usually the creator of the universe and the ground of being, and is without parts, division, or internal distinction (e.g., Islam).

5. Formal monotheism. This religion acknowledges a single god, usually transcendent above all other natural or supernatural beings, but who may have aspects, hypostases, or distinct parts (e.g., Trinitarian Christianity). Pantheism may be considered a special case of formal monotheism that identifies the universe and its many discrete phenomena with a single god or divine force.

6. Dualism. This religion acknowledges a single god worthy of worship, alongside a second inferior, often malevolent being that nevertheless wields great power in or over the world (e.g., Zoroastrianism or Gnosticism).

7. Monolatrist. This religion or practice acknowledges the existence of many gods or divine beings worthy of worship, but focuses on, or happens to be devoted to only one of them (e.g., ancient mystery cults; pre-exilic Judaism).

8. Oligotheist. This religion worships a small group of divine beings, who may function for devotional or rhetorical purposes as a single entity (e.g., Mormonism, Smartism).

9. Monogenic polytheism/Henotheism. This religion worships many gods, which it sees as proceeding from or owing their existence to, a single underlying or overarching force or supreme god (e.g., many forms of Hinduism).

10. Heterogenic polytheism. This religion worships many gods, who have diverse origins and/or natures. Though the number of gods is in practical terms probably unlimited, gods are discrete entities or personalities, i.e., they are "countably infinite" (e.g., many polytheistic traditions).

11. Animism. This religion worships many gods which may or may not be discrete entities, and which may or may not be innumerable even in principle, i.e., they are "uncountably infinite" (e.g., many animist traditions).

What counts as a god is naturally a bit of a judgement call, as is exactly where a religion falls on this scale.

Elaborateness of practice is based on assigning one point per feature from the following list of features:

Uses vs forbids accompanied music in worship

Saints or intermediary beings accept prayers/devotion

Liturgical calendar with specific rituals or festivals

Practices monasticism

Venerates relics or holy objects

Clerics have special, elaborate clothing

Clerics have special qualificiations, e.g., must be celibate or must go through elaborate initiation/training

Elaborate sacred art or architecture used in places of worship

Sites of pilgrimage, or other form of cult centralization

Sophisticated religious hierarchy beyond the congregational level

Mandatory periods of fasting and/or complex dietary rules

Specific clothing requirements for laypeople

Specific body modifications either required or forbidden for laypeople

Liturgical language

Complex ritual purity rules

Performs sacrifice

Performs human sacrifice (or cannibalism)

Uses entheogens

Uses meditation or engages in mystical practice

Additionally, a point is taken away for austerity for each of the following features:

Forbids secular music outside worship

Claims sola scriptura tradition

Practices pacifism or ahimsa

Requires vegetarianism of all adherents

These scores are probably pretty inexact, since I am not a scholar of world religion.

This chart is not scientific, it's just a goof based on that @apricops post.

Other fun dimensions along which to chart religions might be:

Orthodoxy vs orthopraxy

Authoritarianism/control of members. This would add some much needed distinctions to Christian sects in particular, and to the new religious movements.

Elaborateness of cosmological claims. Some religions (looking at you, Buddhism) really go hog-wild here.

Social egalitarianism. Even within the same framework/tradition/philosophy, some practices differ radically on how egalitarian they are.

HOW TO WORSHIP BAPHOMET:

You must ask Baphomet if they want to work with you. Baphomet is a deity, so you shouldn’t be commanding them or telling them what to do. You must be patient with them. (Watch out for trickster spirits). Respectfully ask them to give you a sign, and if you’re respectful enough, you might as well get an answer.

If they answer YES, you can create an altar to be more connected, but if you cannot then have something that reminds you of them. It can be small and simple.

If they answer NO, respectfully apologize for disturbing them. If you connected through an object then you don’t have to throw it out, you can cleanse it and get rid of that intention. If it’s something from nature, you can bury it.

HOW TO PRAY TO BAPHOMET:

To begin, you can address them by name and say something like:

"Great Lord Baphomet, keeper of balance and bringer of harmony, I come to you seeking your wisdom and protection. I offer myself to you, my heart and my spirit, and I ask for your blessing in this prayer."

"Thank you, great Lord Baphomet, for walking by my side and guiding me on this path. I depart from this space with balance and peace in my heart and with a sense of purpose and direction. Hail Lord Baphomet.”

WHAT ARE SIGNS THAT BAPHOMET WANTS ME TO WORK WITH THEM?

• Signs in your life may not align with their teachings or you may feel unclear or uncertain regarding their energies.
