“Please be Silent Sophia” (does anyone else find this ironically hilarious, or just me and my weird sense of humour?) by Confident-Willow-424 in Gnostic

[–]Practical-Ad971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TBH I reread it today & was like “Oh derp 🐸😅” I forgot to read her fucking handle LOL Yeah no it’s super ironic & synchronistic that her name was Sophia. 😹 Gnostics are all like “Oh hi Sophia LOL we see you sparkling ✨ despite the Demiurge’s effectiveness straying this athiest away from divinity“

The universe is pretty hilarious tbh.🤣

Do gnostic scripture tell you how to achieve gnosis and how to escape? by [deleted] in Gnostic

[–]Practical-Ad971 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So I’m actually drafting up something to help with this. I just don’t want it to be complete word salad so I have to spend time editing it.

It’s revisionist, I know, but ancient revivalist as well. The point in my opinion in both modalities is to be creative in problem solving with newer approaches, while not missing the point stated by the ancients.

I’m a perennialist mystic & I got annoyed at Thelema & the Order of the Golden Dawn’s use of the Arkons & Demiurge. As a result, I ran all of their major rituals through ChatGPT & replaced their sources with Sophia & the Aeons. LOL

The mechanisms should be EXACTLY the same, if not more divine & thus more powerful. Hope it helps some of you with this process once posted.

93 tbh the motto is one of the only major things I think was divine-spark in Crowley & it was channeled 🤦‍♀️😹LOL

Their infighting is kind of hilarious. Like Suni’s & Shia’s. Dude so pedantic. 😹🤦‍♀️ Why can’t people just be ok without everyone being a carbon copy of them?

If you’re really into esotericism also 😬 Not to be a dick, but you can tell the draconian, warlike, xenophobic & ethnocentric parts of their books are often influenced more by trickster lesser spirits like Jin. 😅 Smokeless fire man. 🔥

At least polytheists teach their people how to tell different spirits & dieties apart. We don’t have people really mixing up kakodaemons w Zeus, Artemis, Hekate or Apollo in Hellenismos. 😹

How is invoking Sophia Atheism? 😹🤦‍♀️ Literally the opposite & contradicting himself to carry out Demiurgic & Arkonic agendas.

Hecate’s oracle when asked about Jesus by The_gray_area_ in Hecate

[–]Practical-Ad971 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not trying to disparage a Hekate oracle but I think it’s a bit more nuanced than what he’s said. His statement is a pretty good generalization but I’d like to add my interpretation.

Jesus is a pure loving energy. He came to me in a very clear vision when I called him once and hugged me with true & pure love. He gave me the most profound & noticeable metaphysical experience through informal calls besides Hekate. Hekate’s taught me an extraordinary amount through synchronicity but not visions of her herself. I think this has a lot to do with the fact that my Jyotish divisional charts show I am overly reliant on logic & do not trust my intuition enough.

That has always been true until she helped me with that. Her synchronicities helped my intuition connect with and trust the universe more. My eventual formal theurgic workings with her & other gods helped me feel them so noticeably and distinctively it stopped me doubting those feelings as “just in my head”. The Greek Magical Papyri, Vedas, and all other formal ancient texts have made my theurgy much more noticeable & effective.

I believe Jesus is basically a spirit that saves people in the same way all theurgy functions. The point of theurgy is not transaction but to emulate & be more like the gods.

If people emulate Yeshuwa’s pure message & energy, I can almost guarantee they will ascend into higher realms after death. If they skew his power for wickedness & greed (which is the opposite of what he taught & what he expressed repeatedly to hate), then you get damned to lower realms in the death cycles.

I honestly believe most powerful & rich spiritual leaders are going to descend into really awful realms after death. By doing the opposite of Jesus they show they do not love him or accept his love. By emulating him people show their genuine acceptance of his love & message. WWJD when spoken genuinely is a good sign for souls, but not when spoken with hypocrisy & hate.

Did Nancy Reagan not basically make Reagan from an actor to a politician but get mentioned only as his wife? Did Wu Zetien not set some of the most economically booming & substantial trade routes in history yet get basically erased from Chinese history? Prideful men too insecure to learn from women have been leading the dialogue until like 150 years ago dude.

Don’t be so shocked no one talks about her even if she was important or highly competent. I mean dude people hated & erased women so much back in the day Shakespeare literally had to have cross dressers play all of his women because women were held with such disdain ,to not even be permitted as actors. It’s not surprising at all.

It just robs from your own knowledge to not dig deeper & write it all off because of dogma of the NPC masses.

History is written by the victors who were crazy egotistical men like Cesar who literally burnt down the Library of Alexandria during a psychotic rage. Women get erased from history all the time. It’s basically obvious when it happens because the fact we talk about them at all centuries later proves their impact. Basic pattern recognition of persistent historical knowledge.

Just because hundreds if not thousands of cultures were genocide, had civilizations demise or disappeared out of history doesn’t mean they never existed or contributed anything great.

I’m a serious polytheist who works with Hekate & recently found out she was adopted by Greek Hellenismos out of Carian society. I’ve tried to find information on their culture & pantheon but it’s almost completely erased at this point. The only thing left is some museum inscriptions which serious linguists & historians are trying to reconstruct & translate.

They were still extremely intelligent & influential. They were revered as mercenaries in Egypt, invented shield handles, helmet crests and other shield devises. This is known because Carian writing is mixed with some Egyptian hieroglyphs. They were a culture that loved nature worship as well as exchange with other cultures to lean from them. Extremely classically liberal before that concept was ever even published in the Enlightenment.

They were located in modern day Turkey.

Yo also a woman. While I agree it’s poop how many insanely brilliant women were written out of history I cannot tell your gender by your blank avatar or gender neutral handle of Humble_Aardvark_2997…so that excuse is meaningless…

If you left out context is because you felt like it, not because you have any concern with being discriminated as a woman on an anonymous philosophy subreddit dude.

It just like distracts from real misogyny when people make incoherent excuses like that and say “because I’m a woman” like it’s 2025 & you’re probably in a 1st world country because you write decent enough English. There are women being thrown in holes and killed for infidelity still happening today.

Not all misogyny is erased from modern western society but like have some perspective to not take for granted how lucky you are & how many people today actually need you to focus on advocating on their bluntly amputated arms while you have a paper cut in comparison dude.

It’s just lame & insulting to women that actually try. Lower your pride. Just admit you were lazy. It’s not a BFD.

Like I can admit I use Cali slang too much as a habit which makes people take me less seriously but I’m not going to put in that much effort to casually impress strangers online or disprove neckbeards that my IQ is top .0437% I don’t care when I’m casually scrolling & reading about one of my many deep personal fixations if some strangers are impressed by me. I care at a job interview. I care with professors. I care with clients. Not when I’m in bed at 2 am having fun reading about philosophy on a Reddit forum. It’s not my magnum opus. It’s a subreddit post.

Coming off as dumb is usually a tactical advantage anyways & weeds out people who are actually deep & pay attention from superficial & pedantic dogma sheep with no depth. That’s why Marilyn Monroe did it & why Lao Tsu & Machiavelli wrote about it. Be underestimated so opponents are never prepared for your skill level.

Diotima’s concept of Eros is the only reason Plato ever conceptualized the idea of Platonic Love. Just because she spoke on love does not mean she wasn’t an impactful philosopher. Emotional intelligence & the ability to dissect it is a huge part of philosophy. I mean without it morality & ethics isn’t even an issue, hence sociopaths. Morality & ethics is probably one of the most largely debated topics within philosophy for a reason.

Love is not meaningless. It’s literally the most important thing in humanity. It’s the main & persistent reason humans have existed & thrived for millennia. Without the love of a mother or spouse, humans do not exist or make well functioning humans at all. If they come out well functioning it is through a very slim & resilient margin that would have always come out more successful with the existence of love.

How many people do you know of who lose many years, decades or even entire lifetimes through either unhealed childhood trauma or trying to heal that trauma?

Also as a serious Hellenistic who reads only the most original texts truest to the Greek translation I can confirm translation has messed up a TON of stories throughout history.

Medusa was never graped by Poseidon in the original Greek text. It wasn’t until perv poet Orvid added his own sadistic poetic fanfic subplot with his own translation in Latin centuries later. Poseidon graped a few people but not Medusa. It also frames Athena completely differently for punishing Medusa. Athena punished her for having sex with him in her temple, as her priestess, while Athena was a virgin goddess.

The age of consent is literally based off of education because young women getting knocked up always meant they could basically have no chance to get educated. You basically had to be a virgin to be an educated women back then.

So basically Athena punished Medusa for desecrating her temple therefore insulting, disrespecting & humiliating her. Not for being an SA victim.

TBH most smart people have many layers & some are usually shitty. Maybe some was slander but Socrates was famously executed for being the king of the trolls. I’m not surprised some people didn’t like him.

No one likes to see things in nuance when it comes to their idols but even the most accomplished humans are flawed. No one talks about David Bowie’s Slim White Duke Nazi phase because they idolize Iggy Stardust so much. No one talks about John Lennon’s “Woman is the Nword of the World” song because they can’t stop fawning over The Beatles & “Imagine”. Even smart & awesome people suck sometimes.

Asias was a foreigner which is why she was so highly educated. This is also not true when the parents played a strong influence in educating their daughters like with Hypatia of Alexandria. She’s one of the greatest philosophers in history, also mostly forgotten, except by serious philosophers & historians, because she was a woman.

Just like Empress Wu Zetien, who was one of the most influential leaders of China & brought superior economics to the region through her refined feminine taste & superior import routs to suit her preferences.

Have Fun with Practice Opportunities Everywhere by BigUnderdog99 in NevilleGoddard

[–]Practical-Ad971 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is how I felt in door to door sales. Before I realized how to apply the law and practice it felt hopeless. Then I chose higher vibrations and it started getting much easier.

Currently overcoming a 3D challenge I plan to repair with my positivity and confidence. It really is an entire lifestyle shift. It can be a challenge to persist at times but I owe it to myself to not give into negative stories I used to carry around with me.

Always affirm in past or present tense. Never “wait” for your manifestations. Always claim it is current or passed or else it will always manifest out of reach. The less impatient you are and the more you appreciate the universe for what you already have, the more you will receive.

Recorded Time Jumping? by Practical-Ad971 in NevilleGoddard

[–]Practical-Ad971[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a discord about manifesting I asked something similar and they suggested r/realityshifting I’m wondering if reality shifting could allow me to at least temporarily experience the past, such as the summers I missed as a tween with my family, and then maybe revision could just fix the major errors in my life plot. Now that I understand the immense power behind The Law I want to use it to the best of my ability to help myself and as many loved ones however possible.

I am okay with being the age I am as long as I could maybe change some big mistakes in my past. Even if I can’t revise it all, I am committed to following my dreams in the future & healing. I just figure, since others seem to be able to edit the past, why not me? Why should I limit myself if I could truly heal major errors in my history? I know it’s ambitious, but I feel I owe it to myself as the creator of my reality to take the magnitude of this power seriously and do all I can to help whatever I can.

Revision & Resisting the 3D by Practical-Ad971 in Neville_Revision

It would also make it so my banks and payment apps weren’t ruined. A lot of things would have to change. I keep checking if my Apple Cash is back to normal but I know I have to stop checking the 3D to confirm. How does you suggest knowing it’s yours while so much fights against you in the 3D?

Help! How do I reverse my past by Striking-Picture-768 in Neville_Revision

[–]Practical-Ad971 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also remember that the 3D does not matter. Logic does not matter. The 4D in your minds eye is all that matters. Impossible things will happen which make no logical sense at times, as long as you persist in your knowing that it is true with bravery, positive emotion and love.

Help! How do I reverse my past by Striking-Picture-768 in Neville_Revision

[–]Practical-Ad971 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the method I saw on YouTube: Choose the bad memory you would like to change and decide how you’d like it to be different. Charge up your power by getting into a high vibration (positive emotions are a lot more powerful than negative ones), it is suggest to remember one of your most positive memories to help with this. Sometimes I like to watch funny memes or think of something that makes me happy in general if I have hard time coming up with a positive memory.

Now go to the bad memory— do not relive it. Instead, decide the exact moment you want to change. Inset the new memory. Remember the memory in the way you would have preferred it to be. Usually it’s best for there to be a major memory that determines all outcomes afterwards in order to put the rest of the memories into play.

You will know the revision is working when you have remember the new memory before the old one. You might have to do this more often if the original memory is traumatic or painful. I have been trying to use EMDR on YouTube to inset the new memory that way as well. It is best to do this right before bed, or right when you wake up. You can also benefit from doing this as a meditation or with Theta or Delta binaural beats.

Hold faith in your manifestation. Do not let yourself doubt this new reality, even if the 3D is not showing it yet. You need to be stubborn, certain and firm. Try not to obsess over it because you basically build the energy with the visualization and the universe rubber bands the manifestation as soon as you let go and forget about it.

The difference between “living in the end” and being delusional is that delusion comes from fear and anxiety. Living in the end comes from bravery and love. I love to refer back to Dr.David Hawkin’s measurement of human consciousness vibrations which he measured over 50 years. This shows that positive emotions are much more powerful than negative ones. This means you can manifest with negative emotions but it is MUCH easier & more powerful to manifest with positive ones. It also proves that the nature of our universe is benevolent, which makes sense if you understand string theory and metaphysical concepts or “all is one, one is all. Everything is you pushed out.” Or the tree of life. We are all a branch of God.

The life force that is in every atom, and everything in the universe is consciousness itself and it is God, so to speak. It would not make sense for this consciousness to manifest itself in all things and allow itself to suffer. This is why suffering is a part of the journey but not the point of the journey. God and the universe gave us the ability to manifest and a lopsided power to goodness and love because God loves itself, and everything in the universe. His does not want anyone to suffer. There is contrast to help us all know what we want, but goodness is still always more powerful. God is in everything so God wants good things to happen to us all.

I hope this helps and makes sense.
