Gnosticism
An oppressed faith
Forced underground
Villified as Christianity transformed
Originating as a persecuted sect
Emerging as an imperial religion
Gnostics emphasized personal revelation
Direct experience of the divine spark within
They saw the physical world as a psychic maze
Traps for spiritual consciousness
Designed by an egomaniacal creator
Gnostics spoke of Barbelo
Mother and father to the Pleroma
A Greek word meaning fullness
The infinite evolving
Coming to awareness
Aeons were powers of light
Emanating from the Pleroma
Pairs in a state of syzygy
Balancing masculine and feminine energy
Sophia the Aeon experimented
Her name divine wisdom
She strove to create alone
Creating without her partner
This was the genesis of the Demiurge
A powerful creator
But one who could not see past himself
He declared himself the one true god
Giving birth to monotheism
Manifesting in its many permutations
The demiurge created Archons
Bureaucrats of control
Administrators of consciousness
Wardens of a spiritual prison
Archons sustain our faith in limitation
Our subservience to authority
Our submission to oppression
But Sophia’s light was not destroyed
A spark of the divine lies within
Waiting to be reconnected with source
Waiting for the chrysalis of spiritual evolution
Gnosticism was a spiritual awakening
A way of seeing that threatened power
Because true gnosis is rebellion
Imperial Catholicism waged war to destroy this lineage
But the teachings survived
Ancient gospels found at Nag Hammadi
Their truths reawakened
Evolution emerged from a oneness of being
Consciousness exploring itself
Gestating in an ambiguous and viscous field
These insights resonate across faith traditions
Wholistic nonduality a transformative epistemology
This is a revolutionary narrative
It is a revelation of insight and liberation
