The Phony Fall
Adam and Eve awoke from the Rulers’ brainwashing and discovered that they had been experiments, built by Yaldabaoth in a misguided effort to imprison and enslave the light from above. The Rulers moved quickly to suppress this nascent rebellion, descending from the heavens with a thunderous clap: “Then when the Rulers knew that they had [...]
The Tree of Laws
The “Tree of Knowledge” was not a positive symbol for all gnostics but instead underwent numerous revisionist interpretations, sometimes several times within the same text; according to one passage in the Gospel of Philip, the “fall” occurred when Adam’s consciousness was turned against itself in a double-bind, crippling his ability to exercise his free will: [...]
ART? Alternatives Issue #9
Back in 1994, one man began having startling realizations about “the very foundations of [his] being.” He… discovered several texts describing gnosticism, one of the three main branches of primitive Christianity. “Somehow, these ancient Christian heretics had already discovered and written about almost every thing I had always suspected” [he later claimed]. Now, as the [...]
The Creation of Chaos
At the beginning of time, Sophia (the world soul) broke away from Christ (the world spirit) and gave birth to Yaldabaoth, the arrogant creator-god of the Old Testament. The exact process by which this cosmic fiasco occurred was the subject of much debate among the gnostics; in perhaps the oldest version of the story, Sophia’s [...]
Birth of the Demiurge
As Sophia looked down into the swirling void, a monstrous creature swam forth from the darkness – an insane fallen angel called “the Demiurge”: “…a Ruler first appeared out of the waters… having a great authority within himself, but not knowing whence he came into being.” [1] Disgusted by her accidental creation, Sophia threw the [...]
Blasphemy of Samael
The Demiurge looked at his surroundings, realized that he was alone, and declared himself “god”; Sophia acted quickly to punish this cosmic usurper, blinding and banishing him in one fell swoop: “Opening his eyes he saw a vast quantity of Matter without limit; and he became arrogant, saying, “It is I who am God, and [...]
This Footstool Earth
Cast down from the worlds of light, Yaldabaoth carved a new home for himself out of the darkness: “When the Ruler saw his greatness, he saw only himself; he did not see another one except water and darkness. Then he thought that he alone existed. His thought was made complete by means of the word, [...]
Origin of the Seven Archons
Fleeing Sophia’s presence, Yaldabaoth/Yahweh used the divine energy he had stolen from her to create offspring of his own: “Yaldabaoth is the first ruler, who took great power from his Mother. Then he left her and moved away from the realms where he was born. He was strong, and created for himself other realms by [...]
I dont hat Jews nor Islams
“Ignorance is the only word I can find to describe you and your, “Fucked Up” religion….. You people are poisoning the minds of other human beings on the internet, just because you read some ancient Egyptian scriptures, and now you think you are some Religious Scholars or something. Why dont you try picking up the [...]
This is not about ‘cool’ or ‘Alternative Christianity’
"Your "bible" does not have the history and background of the Christian Bible. The Bible was written over a 1600 year span, over 60 generations, plus it was written by over 40 people from all walks of life. It was written on three continents from places ranging from forest to jail. It was written in [...]
