    Self understanding

    Old saying in Heremeticism: As Above, So Below -- As Within, So Without We are the microcosm of the universe, all that which is exist in us... What we come from is the Macrocosm of Everything. We contain the universe within ourselves and yet we are contained by the universe itself. So I ask...

    Is Happiness the Proper Goal of Life?

    1. Happiness in my opinion is not the proper goal in life, its enlightenment and peace of mind... It maybe the source of my happiness but it does not make me happy. Most people look for happiness without realizing what makes them happy, they go through life living in those transient and fleeting...

    Is logic over-rated?

    Everything a person does is on faith in varying degrees... Christians have faith in God and Atheist have faith in Logic (albeit in my opinion a bit more leaning to over-rationalizations). Either way, do you put confidence in the fact that rational thinking will see you through the storm? That is...

We may say The God above "god" and when we do we may...

    Is logic over-rated?

    (Pseudo)Paul is part of the Ephesians... Paul was large on faith hell he didnt even encourage good works lest I should boast. Good Works and Faith are only a part of it...

    Is this Gnosticism?

    Gnostics were falsely accused of many things. Read the Book: Gnosticism A New Light On An Inner Tradition by Stephen Hoeller in it he does Justice for the Gnostics who had been accused of many things. Spiritual Elitism was a big one, the RCC thought of the Gnostics as higher than others but what...

    Fellow Gnostics

    I would be happy to, I cant say for sure how God will touch you but for me it can from introspectiveness trying to find God in everything.

    What should motivate us to make a leap of faith?

    Cogito Ergo Sum.

    According to Gnosticism what we call the physical is not real but an illusion. In this illusion we have become two things: A) Ignorant of who we are and where we came from and B) Enslaved by the "external" entities that control most of our thoughts, feelings and (re)actions. So, if you believe...
