I'm a gnostic Christrian and this is a nice easy to listen talk. Gnosticism is such an easy to understand belief foe me. I perceive it has as follows - in order for God/ Oneness to understand itself it needs to become self aware by creating the concept of "seperation", which needs to become self aware out of free choice and remember that it's a fragment of God/ Oneness. The fake concept of the duality of the two "worlds" (oneness/ seperation) is a beautiful thing when you realise it's all an illusion and we are all one - you simply have to treat others how you want them to treat you and have unconditional love and life becomes divine then.

It is amazing how much this gnostic version of christianity has in common with modern magick traditions and eastern traditions. The idea of oneness as the highest mode of being and how it is divided from the lower "eons" (compare with the higher spheres of the qabalistic tree of life). The idea that the human spirit is a reflection of "the one" in its truest form but can not see it in the worldly state of mind and so much more. Also the idea of vowels and vibration in rituals is used commonly in modern ritual magick as in the rituals proposed for example by the golden dawn.

The only time Christianity made sense. This filled a lot of gaps about life for me. Time well spent. Even the way he spoke about vowels being from the upper eon (the realm of the one) and constants from the lower eon (realm of Yadabaoth). In singing all the talent and beauty of the music come from the use of vowels. I also noticed Knosis is perfectly compatible with Seven Hermetic Principals. Knowledge of both really opens things up.

The end is where the beginning is, is a beautiful clue. As when you discover in the origional Jewish Torah book of Genesis the very first word is "beginning" and when you discover that Jewish letters all have a meaning of their own, you will discover that Jesus was in this very first word of Genesis. Praise be to God in his majestically magnificent wisdom he put everything in plane sight for those with eyes to see and ears to hear. Jesus said that he told us who he is from the very beginning and He certainly did Hallelujah!!!

Any other Christians on here who understand the textural history of the gospel accounts. Right away with this integration of Matthew, Mark, and Luke and his take on it I see a problem. The three were written about the same accounts but from three different perspectives and this immediately insinuated that they 'copied' from one another. Anyone else notice this issue?

I find it interesting that Gnosticism doesn’t seem to touch on the cross of Jesus Christ. This may just be my own ignorance on Gnosticism, and maybe it does, but was not touched on in this presentation. There does however, seem to be a big emphasis on circles. Makes me think of GK Chesterton’s discussion about the cross vs circle in Orthodoxy: “As we have taken the circle as a symbol of reason and madness, we may very well take the cross as a symbol at once of mystery and health. Buddhism is centripetal, but Christianity is centrifugal: it breaks out. For the circle is perfect and infinite in its nature; but it is fixed for ever in its size; it can never be larger or smaller. But the cross, though it has at its head a collision and a contradiction, can extend its four arms for ever without altering its shape. Because is has a paradox in its center it can grow without changing. The circle returns upon itself and is bound. The cross opens its arms to the four winds; it is a signpost for free travelers.” G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy

I was thinking how similar the Gnostic view of Ascension is, to the Bardo of the Buddhists because you meet the wrathful deities and all kinds of deities and you have to know the right words to pass them by and continue on and when you see the light you have to recognize the light as being you and you're not to get distracted by the deities nor anything else for that matter, because that will send you back to the Earth again and another life.

This was wonderful. Thank you so much. Right now I'm reading Revelations of the Unknowable God, a Gnostic text. This book was written by Karen King, one of the academics you mentioned. The parts I understand are so inspiring, and I recognize the higher truth in them. However, I don't think she was clear about who the readers of her book would be. It's written, I gather, primarily for other academics in the field and she doesn't give definitions for all the specialized, technical terms only other academics would understand. I think it's a but disingenuous and deceitful when academics promote and target their books to the general public - but they are filled with technical jargon the author knows very well non-academics will not have a clue what they mean. Still, I gleaned some nuggets of great value from it. I really appreciate that you spoke slowly, paused after making a point so we could reflect on it, and in many ways made the Gnostic codices more understandable. There is so much here to unpack I bookmarked this url and will be watching it over again. Thanks again.

Damnably interesting, I finally feel somewhat educated on this ancient lore. (It almost feels familiar). @ 1:15:00 the mention of "demons" orchestrating movement forcibly reminded me of the "daemons" computers use to organize and execute functions. While highly irrational, there may even be a kernel of deeper truth buried under all the allegorical imagery. Earth is certainly dank, but I rather balk at the idea that the _entire Universe_ is the misbegotten construct of a misbegotten Entity. That seems...too narrow. Yet squinting between the lines, I see vague parallels between certain aspects of this and the lunatic-fringe of Edgar Cayce and other dubious "channelled" works and modern apocrypha (like The Roswell Interview), outlining the "Fall" of individuated non corporeal Entities from a higher state; having laid-aside Their powers (so They could "play in the the mud" without vaporizing everything from the power of Their minds) and wound-up trapped and ensnared in Their own creations...and those of other manipulative Entities. While I obviously "believe" in Consciousness, I've become rather ambivalent towards the notion of a singular "God," NDE stories notwithstanding. (The God-concept sure has proven toxic to human affairs, I'm with the Atheists on that fact). Very good presentation, man! It's worth watching again.

I believe that the role/ influence of Egyptian cosmology was glossed over a little hastily and predates what we consider early Christianity/Gnosticism- the Pert Em Hru - outlines a worldview from which you can see the evolution/obsfucation through the geographical political cultural changes in power and obviously- how these dynamics write both History, and Religion... and I notice the thread running through Plato and definitely in the work of Jung- but also ( at least in my opinion ) in writers like Toni Morrison ...So interesting...Fantastic lecture- thank you!!!

Man my mom had a dream when some greek philosophers or monks told her I was a gnostic kid, then she turns her view to me and when I looked her I opened a third eye and a blinding light got over that 3rd eye. It was when I was like 7 or 8, she said she never heard that word before. At 21 I discovered that I actually was a gnostic individual, bc one night watching south park I noticed they made a reference to the agnostics. Then I searched for the 2 terms and yeah... it was at that moment when I realized all my life I've been living as a gnostic individual even if I never learned nothing about the gnostic creed lol I'm 23 now and I feel life's getting even more interesting day by day.

About the only aspect is in the beginning where the video says, "A Diversified Religious Movement", first texts shown. I do not feel that Gnosticism was religious or even per say, a movement. Do not think Sethian, Cathars, or many you point out would consider their truth religions or maybe not even movements. But nearly everything else seemed spot on target. Be blessed, see you on the other side my friend.

In near death experiences people see a tunnel and then a bright light some even feel endless warmth and love from it and to some it talks and answers questions. I wonder if gnostic teaching are true is that the first Aeon?

Maybe, it's because i have never experienced the after life, as far as i can remember...lol. Yes, very interesting religion and it's truly worth a replay for me. I find it very interesting and He has truly put together a very good presentation for such an amazing topic. I'm reminded of St. France and his findings in his message: "What you are looking for is what is looking". Thanks for sharing your work, found it very interesting and your presentation was great! Thanks, and may God bless.

I’ve always known God, The Oneness, the Unseen. I’ve felt that light my whole life. As a southern American, I was brought up Christian, and I Loved Church and Learning about Jesus and his Teachings….. As my age progressed and I learned the stories of the Old Testament and Revelations… I grew Confused and Scared, because of my life, Family, upbringing.. It wasn’t Conventional to be tactful. So my Love of Religious tradition was tainted by the Thought that I was basically being told that my Family and Loved Ones would go to Hell and burn for eternity if they did not repent of their sinful ways…. I couldn’t hold Faith with that. I’ve never renounced God, He is there ever Present, but I’ve also always thought that he couldn’t control the world, He didn’t have Complete power. I have known Evil in my life Cruelly and Sadism, Yet I also know in my Soul. That no matter what happens here in this world. I am and always will be a child of God. This has given me some Perspective and insight into the Things I’ve always Known that contradicted what I was taught.. Thank you, I have found some Peace watching this. Much Love and Happiness ❤

But I do not understand why those graphical words describing Gnosticism in this video at about 00:45 min. are made probably to look like the sun, but for me it looks more like hell (kind of style)? (But I also hate orange streetlights at night, so that might be a personal thing?)

Orange streetlights at night, I mean - that I found both not very beautiful and somehow illogical (because the sun of the same color is also not visible, at night)

For the past month I've been in a deep discussion with a Gnostic, or, should I say actually, he pretty much did all the talking while I did the questions. Today, he got angry at me and accused me of being "disingenuous" with my questions and said he was THROUGH with me. Actually, I wasn't what he accused me of. I was just trying to ask him questions he seemed to be avoiding, snowing me with a bunch of profound lofty sentences of knowledge that could make one feel very uncouth to. VERY knowledgeable was he, OR, was he using a computer? I'm not sure, but, I found him very interesting in a very ambiguous and poetic way and was puzzled as to why he picked ME out to write novels of words, as if I was the one HE wanted to use as a blackboard for days of stream of consciousness. Still, he was hard to follow, and, I think he called me "disingenuous" for my pressing him to try to be more clear and not so wordy. I was asking him how the creator of the universe was evil, yet, weak compared to the REAL God (he called it a "Friendly"), WHEN it could not only create something as large as the universe, but, something as complicated as cell division. He said I should chant the name of Jesus, that there was power in the name of Jesus, and, that in Vietnam, some boy heard the name "Jesus", and, it profoundly affected him in a mystical way, and, that was the REAL God, not the one that created the universe. It just seemed so strange to me that he could be excited about the name of Jesus in a mystical way, when I have the same affect with science, which I believe is created by the God HE would see as evil. Again, he was VERY perplexing to me.

Always keep pushing. He's full of bullshit he swallowed without questioning or he is just purposefully pretending while having an agenda. You've lost nothing by him no longer talking to you. Enjoy your freedom.
