Gnostic concepts - Pleroma
Pleroma (Greek πλήρωμα) generally refers to the totality of divine powers. The word means fullness from πληρόω (“I fill”), comparable to πλήρης, which means “full”, and is used in Christian theological contexts: both in Gnosticism generally, and by St. Paul the Apostle in Colossians 2:9 (the word is used 17 times in the NT). Source Wikipedia Pleroma is the Gnostic word for enlightenment, gnosis. It means the fullness of god, no divisions or separations. When one realises ever

Gnostic concepts series — Hepodomad – 7 planetary spheres (worlds)
In many of the Gnostic texts, the Hepodomad is mentioned. These are seven planetary spheres: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, the Sun, Venus, Mercury, and the Moon. Each of these spheres is ruled by an Archon. Beyond these spheres is the realm of fixed stars and beyond that the Ogdoad (Heaven). This is the Gnostic Jacob’s Ladder. I teach these spheres, and heaven are actually astral places within us (in our dreaming). They are like a divine dream, and even in dreaming, the body sense (

Gnostic concepts – Archons
The Archons were the rulers of the 7 worlds (astral worlds) and were mistaken as evil due to their wrathful form. In the ancient days, people thought there were 7 worlds. The Archons were the rulers of each world, the Gnostic worlds were the Moon, Mercury, Sun, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn( considered the end of the material domain). This relates to the Chakras. When the person went into a sacred sleep, they would travel to these worlds and, through instruction, pass from

Gnostic concepts series – Horos (the limit or boundary)
The ancient Gnostics believed in a power of separation. This power put things where they belonged, outside the Kingdom. If we believed that when Sophia fell from grace, an imbalance arose, which could have put the Kingdom in danger. At this point, Horos was brought into existence to allow the Demiurge creation to be sustained. I reveal Horos as the boundary, the beginning of the duality of our spiritual and material universe. There is a point where dreaming dissolves into the

Gnostic concepts series Chokhmah Ila’ah (the world soul)
The Greek philosophers of, Neoplatonic systems had this concept of the world soul. Not many souls but one. This is what they said – Therefore, we may consequently state that: this world is indeed a living being endowed with a soul and intelligence … a single visible living entity containing all other living entities, which by their nature are all related. In Jewish mysticism there is a similar concept, a par “Chokhmah Ila’ah,” the all-encompassing “Supernal Wisdom” that trans

Gnostic concepts - the Demiurge
When we look at the mind(cosmic mind) and its essence through waking, dreaming, and dreamless sleep, we can see the coming and going of the mind. The mind is made from the same substance of god but is not eternal (hence fallen). Mind means the whole of the ‘I’ the universe, which disappears in sleep. The mind (matter) hides the substance (god). The mind is the Demiurge. The Sophia and Demiurge are merely myths to explain the Gnosis. The myth goes that Sophia fallen from the h

GNOSTIC CONCEPTS SERIES. Ignorance or forgetfulness AGNOSTOS
Ignorance is described as drunkenness or blindness according to the ancient Gnostics. Drunkenness because we enjoy the world of Sophia (the objects) and we are not concerned about what God is. Blindness because we only see things from our point of view, and we do not realize that everything is God and not, at the same time. Gnosis is a simple and yet profound realization of the source of Sophia. Gnosis is the realization of what the mind is and what consciousness is, as they

Gnostic Lesson 5 Nous (The sword of Reasoning)
Plato says in his Philebus 28c he has Socrates say that “all philosophers agree—whereby they really exalt themselves—that mind (nous) is king of heaven and earth. Perhaps they are right.” and later states that the ensuing discussion “confirms the utterances of those who declared of old that mind (nous) always rules the universe”. Nous is the means of discernment to know what is temporal and what is eternal. This is what the Sethian creation myth is teaching us. Monad Demiurge

Gnostic Lesson 4 — Three worlds Kabbalah, Gnosis of awareness
What are we? Jesus said, “Examine yourself.” What did he mean? We are in 3 states of awareness, waking, dreaming, and dreamless sleep. There is nothing else. So I have reconstructed the Kabbalah tree of life in 3 worlds. These are Asiyah (action), Yetzirah (formation), and Ein Sof (divine). These are actually Asiyah (waking) , Yetzirah (dreaming), and EiN sof (dreamless sleep). In gnostic terms, these are (lowest realm) (asiyah) , (realm of archons, aeons) Yetzirah and Ein So

Gnostic Lesson 3 — Valentinus ,Metaphysics and non duality.
So, to explain this, all I need to explain is what the Monad is (the one). The Monad is the one god, as there is just one god. All else is considered non eternal. This is the non dual mechanics or metaphysics. In the creation myth, it says god looked into the waters of spirit, and in his self-awareness, the Epinoia (conscious awareness) came into being from its reflection. This is the Barbelo and later Sophia. So what happened here is that god produced duality from looking at

Gnostic Lesson 2 — Who were the Sethian Gnostics
Who were the Sethians? Sethianism attributed its gnosis to Seth, third son of Adam and Eve and Norea, wife of Noah, who also plays a role in Mandeanism and Manicheanism. The Sethian cosmogonic myth gives a prologue to Genesis and the rest of the Pentateuch, presenting a radical reinterpretation of the orthodox Jewish conception of creation, and the divine’s relation to reality. The Sethian cosmogony is most famously contained in the Apocryphon of John, which describes an Unkn
