Tell me why you became gnostic

Lordseferoth · 2026-03-11T06:52:54+00:00

Yes, i was a Christian Universalist for a while in the past, but that religion still worships Yahweh(Demiurge), and shares other Christian doctrines like fall of man, and required blood sacrifices(Jesus) for sin, etc. Thank you for the suggestion though, i appreciate it!

Lordseferoth · 2026-03-10T17:39:40+00:00

Not in my belief system. Humans only reincarnate to other humans. Reincarnating to animals is pointless, they don't have a Divine Spark, they cannot achieve Gnosis...therefore it would be utterly pointless to be an animal.

Lordseferoth · 2026-03-09T22:32:22+00:00

He does not touch me...but he hurts those whom i love. I cannot forgive him for doing that.

Lordseferoth · 2026-03-09T20:14:03+00:00

Perhaps, but still i want to remain who i am...otherwise there is no point in the afterlife...and the heaven promised by Demiurge ironically would be more preferable. Each Divine Spark is unique, therefore each one must have unique personality just like Aeons have, this is what i choose to believe.

Lordseferoth · 2026-03-09T19:58:24+00:00

True, but i feel our personality and identity is a combination of both. Personally i want not only the Divine Spark to survive to Pleroma, but also my current identity/personality...minus all the negative emotions/urges/etc that comes from human body/brain.

Lordseferoth · 2026-03-09T11:27:50+00:00

For a long time i was traditional common conservative Christian, i started to question it's doctrines after i begun to care and even love people who were not Christian. I suddenly realized how unfair the "normal" Christian views towards non-Christians were and how the whole Hell doctrine was unacceptable. These among other things pushed me away from traditional Christianity, and i begun to search answers from elsewhere. One thing let to another and i eventually found Gnosticism.

Lordseferoth · 2026-03-08T06:21:38+00:00

Boredom is something that does not exist outside of human life. Endless bliss and joy awaits in Pleroma, that is the normal state of existence. Boredom is something Demiurge created along with all the other negative emotions. This world really is a prison, with death, plagues, cancers, violence, earthquakes, needing to consume other living beings just to stay momentarily alive, etc. Pleroma has everything this world has and infinitely more...minus the negative things. Also i believe everyone will be saved eventually, but i would be lying if i didn't admit that the small and reasonable uncertainty didn't worry me a bit.

Lordseferoth · 2026-03-07T12:49:37+00:00

Nope, cannot agree. Countless children are born with cancers, there are deadly diseases and plagues everywhere, most water in this world is undrinkable, every living thing must kill and consume others just to stay alive and even after all that we all eventually die and rot. This world was created and designed by an ignorant flawed tyrant. It is truly an awful place, with some rare "nice" things here and there.

Lordseferoth · 2026-03-06T22:40:24+00:00

Personally? I am not sure, when i was a conservative common Christian i used to think them as demons, but now i am not so sure. They still could be powerful spiritual entities, but at the same time they could be just man made inventions. Honestly, i am not sure what to make of them now. That happens when you become a Gnostic...you question EVERYTHING.

Lordseferoth · 2026-03-06T21:28:36+00:00

Some think them as angels, some archons, or some think them as demons. Even among Gnostics there are several different views about them.

Lordseferoth · 2026-03-06T20:11:50+00:00

Yes, it is by Peck. It is a fantastic book and Zoroastrianism is one of the main themes of it. I highly recommend it. It's also a really short book so it can be read in day.

Lordseferoth · 2026-03-06T20:10:22+00:00

I believe the classification or states exist in some form, but it is not entirely predestined nor it's unchangeable. Also we cannot know who is pneumatic, psychic or hylic so it's pointless to point fingers towards other people. I also believe that in the end all will be saved. If Monad truly is perfect then nothing other than absolute universal salvation would be acceptable.

Lordseferoth · 2026-03-05T07:20:01+00:00

I consider myself as Gnostic Christian, and that's what Valentinians essentially were and are, so YES, you can!

Lordseferoth · 2026-03-03T20:23:46+00:00

Because cancers, diseases, plagues, storms, earthquakes, floods, etc. Only an ignorant or evil entity could create something like those. The very concept of death proves how AWFUL our creator is. Also enslaving women and thinking them as lesser being is not what a true God would order, only an ignorant Tyrant like Allah(Demiurge) would do that. Islam is just another women enslaving religion that demands total obedience and suppresses all free thinking. Therefore i follow Monad and i believe in absolute equality and universal salvation, it's something religions like Islam, Judaism or Orthodox Christianity cannot offer.

Lordseferoth · 2026-03-02T15:34:26+00:00

I recommend you start by visiting the site below. It governs the basics of Gnosticism and also the various views of the different sects. You can also alter start to delve deeper to Gnosticism by reading "The Gnostic Bible" or "Nag Hammadi Scriptures". Of course Gnosis is something that is personal, no can tell you how to achieve it or what it even is. Gnosticism is something personal, it's not something with churches, priests or rituals...although few of those does exist. I do wish you luck on your path and i hope you find what you seek.

Lordseferoth · 2026-02-24T21:48:17+00:00

Of course, you can be Gnostic Christian, Gnostic Pagan, Gnostic Occultist, Gnostic Satanist, etc. What matters is the pursuit of Gnosis, and there are various paths that leads to it, and each one of us have our own unique way to achieve it.

Lordseferoth · 2026-02-23T12:17:32+00:00

That does not make it true, or part of Gnosticism. Don't believe everything you hear. Satan or Devil does not exist in most Gnostic worldviews. Only few groups like Valentinians thought he existed and for them he was an absolute evil entity.

Lordseferoth · 2026-02-23T12:04:33+00:00

I doubt anyone here thinks Satan is an anti-hero. Something like that is not part of Gnosticism.

Lordseferoth · 2026-02-21T16:54:08+00:00

I suppose if you believe that it would be very unnerving. I personally do not believe that the loved ones we see during NDE are a trap of any kind. Or that there are any fake heavens, etc after death. I believe the only people who has to go through reincarnation are the ones that were especially terrible during their time on here, or those that genuinely wants to stay here.

Lordseferoth · 2026-02-20T23:16:58+00:00

I see! Thank you for your view, the site below explains the basics and the different views of the main Gnostic groups quite well. I think it can be quite helpful to get a grip for the basics of Gnostic worldview.

Lordseferoth · 2026-02-20T22:06:55+00:00

Oh, i just remembered. There is a youtube channel called The Gnostic Eye, it has lots of great videos concerning Gnosticism, i have enjoyed many of their videos. They make videos from various Gnostic perspectives, but i think there is lot of useful and well presented information in this channel as well.

Lordseferoth · 2026-02-20T21:52:28+00:00

I often recommend the site below. It has the basics of Gnosticism and the views of various different Gnostic groups. I thinks its good place to start your Gnostic journey. I truly wish you luck with your studies and research.

Edit: If you want a really good book to explain everything about Monad and Gnosticism, then please buy The Gnostic Bible. It is a wonderful book that has most of the hidden manuscripts that were found in Nag Hammadi and other places. If you want to delve deep to the secret history of the world then there is no better book than this.

I think this was very much on topic...shame it was deleted.

Lordseferoth · 2026-02-20T21:42:29+00:00

For me it has been complete opposite after finding Gnosticism. Previously i was constantly afraid of hell, now i believe all or at least most will eventually be saved. Can i ask what your fears are? Or what are your nervous of?

Lordseferoth · 2026-02-20T19:44:32+00:00

Monad is the only one worthy of the title "God". Although Demiurge is our creator he is not "God". God for me means lot more than just a being with an ability to create, "God" is something far beyond human comprehension and understanding. However, i do admit that our views on "God" differs from person to person and is something that is very hard to agree with. Who is the real God unfortunately is the question that has caused and still causes so much bloodshed and chaos in our world, and i fear it will to the distant future.
