GNOSTIC ANTHROPOLOGY

Contains great information on Gnostic Anthropology.

The authentic Gnostic wants a definite change because it feels intensely the secret impulses of the Being. He that not seeks changes cannot be Gnostic. Gnosis is the functionalism so of consciousness, a perennial and universal philosophy, is the enlightened knowledge of the Divine Mysteries reserved for an elite.

The word Gnosis contains within its structure WISDOM SIGNS, symbols and signs that are taught through the Gnostic knowledge.

Gnosticism is a very intimate nature and deep religious knowledge. It is truly esoteric background, unfolding from moment to moment with very particular mystical experiences, to Doctrine and rites. The Gnostic knowledge always escapes the normal analysis of subjective rationality and judgment of defective senses. We have to destroy I, the myself, after this destruction learn to know, there comes legitimate REVELATION, the Superior or Divine knowledge.

Only the Being can know himself. The BEING self- known in the Gnosis. Self-knowledge of the BEING is a Supra-Rational movement that depends on himself and has nothing to do with intellectualism.

The abyss between the BEING and the EGO, is impassable. To know oneself is to have achieved identification of his own DIVINE BEING. When we die in themselves the BEING manifests in us,

God is perfect multiple unit. Lingan represents the male and the eternal feminine the Yoni, the divine Chalice where life manifests.

The unknowable Deity is the absolute abstract space, the rootless root of all that was, is and will be or should be.

The EGO wants to distinguish and always originates disorder and the fall of any angelic rebellion. Without the help of Divinity the human being is unable to rise from the mud of the earth.

Gnostic Anthropology

Since the Gnostic studies have progressed extraordinarily in recent times, no cultured person would fall today, as before, in the simplistic error to make Gnostic currents arise in some exclusive spiritual latitude.

While it is true that we must consider in any Gnostic system its Eastern Hellenistic elements, including Persia, Mesopotamia, Syria, India, Palestine, Egypt, etc., we should never ignore the Gnostic principles perceptible in the sublime religious cults of the Nahoas , Toltecs, Aztecs, Zapotecs, Mayas, Chibchas, Incas, Quechuas, etc., etc., etc., Indo America.

Speaking very frankly and bluntly say: Gnosis is a very natural function of the consciousness, a "Philosophia perennis et universalis."

Unquestionably, Gnosis is the illuminated knowledge of the Divine Mysteries reserved for an elite.

The word "Gnosticism" holds within its grammatical structure the idea of ​​systems or currents devoted to studying Gnosis.

This Gnosticism implies a coherent, clear precise series of fundamental elements, verifiable through direct mystical experience: Curse, from a scientific and philosophical point of view. The Adam and Eve of the Hebrew Genesis. Original Sin and the output of Paradise. The Mystery of Lucifer Nahuatl. Death of Me. The creator powers. The essence of the Salvator Salvandus. Sexual Mysteries. The Intimate Christ. The igneous Serpent of our magical powers. The descent into Hell. The return to Eden. The Gift of Mephistopheles.

Only the Gnostic doctrines involving the ontological, theological and anthropological foundations cited above, they are part of the authentic Gnosticism.

Pre-Gnostic is one who in concrete, clear and specific manner, presents a character in some detectable way Gnostic systems, but that aspect integrated in a conception "in toto" alien to revolutionary Gnosticism. Thought that certainly is not but is Gnostic.

Proto-Gnostic is every Gnostic system in an incipient and germinal state, movements led by a similar attitude that characterizes definite Gnostic currents.

The "Gnostic" adjective can and even should be intelligently applied both to conceptions that in one way or another relate to Gnosis or to Gnosticism.

The term "Gnostizant" unquestionably is very close to its pre-Gnostic significance, since the word actually "strictly speaking" is related to intrinsic aspects that have some similarity with Universal Gnosticism, but integrated into a stream not defined as Gnosis.

Established these semantic clarifications, let us now define Gnosticism completely dazzling clarity.

It is worth clarifying in this Treaty emphatically that Gnosticism is a very intimate, natural and profound religious process.

Authentic background esotericism, unfolding from moment to moment with very particular mystical experiences, to Doctrine and rites.

Extraordinary doctrine that fundamentally adopts mythical form and sometimes mythological.

Ineffable magic Liturgy with vivid illustration for the Superlative Consciousness of the Being.

Unquestionably, the Gnostic knowledge always escapes the normal analysis of subjective rationalism.

The corollary of this Knowledge is the infinite intimacy of the person, the BEING.

The reason for the Being is the same Being. Only the Being can know himself.

Being, therefore, self- known in the Gnosis.

Being, revalued and knowing himself is Self-Gnosis. Undoubtedly, the latter, in itself, is Gnosis.

The self-awareness of Being is a Supra-Rational movement that depends on it, that has nothing to do with intellectualism.

The gap between the BEING and the EGO is insurmountable and, therefore, the Pneuma, the Spirit, is recognize himself and this recognized oneself is an autonomous act for which the intellectual mammal's subjective reason is ineffective, insufficient and terribly poor.

Self-knowledge, self-Gnosis, implies the annihilation of the ego as a previous work, urgent, it should be not postponed.

The I, the Ego, is made up of additions and subtractions of subjective, inhuman and bestial elements that have a beginning and an end.

The Essence, the Consciousness, stuffed, bottled, bottled up within the various elements which constitute the myself, the ego, unfortunately, is processed painfully under its own conditioning.

Dissolving the Ego, the Essence, the Consciousness, awakens, becomes enlightened, is set free, then, as a consequence or corollary self-knowledge, Self-Gnosis.

Undoubtedly, the legitimate revelation has its irrefutable, unanswerable bases in the Auto-Gnosis.

Gnostic revelation is always immediate, direct, intuitive; radically excludes the intellectual operations of a subjective type and has nothing to do with the experience and assemblage of fundamentally sensory data.

Intelligence or Nous in its epistemological sense, although it may indeed serve as a foundation for enlightened intellection, flatly refuses to fall into vain intellectualism.

Are blatant and obvious the ontological, pneumatic and spiritual characteristics of Nous (Intelligence).

In the name of truth, We solemnly declare that the Being is the only real existence, before whose transparency, ineffable and terribly divine what we call I, Ego, myself, self, is merely outer darkness, weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Self-Gnosis or self-gnostic recognition of the Being, given the anthropological aspect of the Pneuma or Spirit, is something decidedly savior.

To know oneself is to have achieved identification with your own Divine BEING.

Knowing identical with its own Pneuma or Spirit, to experience directly the identification between the known and the knower, is that we can and must define as Self-Gnosis.

Ostensibly, this extraordinary unveiling invites us to die in ourselves so that the Being manifests in us.

On the contrary, away from the Being, to continue as Ego within the Heresy of separateness, it means condemning oneself to the submerged involution of the infernal worlds.

This evident reflection leads us to the topic of the Gnostic "choice free". Unquestionably, the serious Gnostic is an elected post.

The Gnostic experience allows the sincere devotee fully knowing and self-realization.

Self-Realization should be understood as the harmonious development of all the infinite human possibilities.

It is not intellectual data distributed capriciously nor mere insubstantial wordiness of ambiguous chattering.

All that we are saying in these paragraphs Translate, as authentic, vivid, real experience.

It does not exist in the current Gnostic dogma of the Orthodox predetermination that pitifully we would bottle in a narrow conception of the anthropomorphic deity.

God in Greek is Theos, Deus in Latin and Sanskrit Div or Deva, this word that translates as Angel or Angels.

Even among the most conservative Semitic peoples, the most ancient God of Light, El or Ilu, appears in the first chapters of Genesis in its synthetic plural form of Elohim.

God is not any particular human or divine individual, God is Gods. He is the Army of the Voice, the Great Word, the Word of the Gospel of St. John, the Creator Logos, Perfect Multiple Unit.

To self-known and performed on the horizon of infinite possibilities, implies the admission or readmission to the creative Host of the Elohim.

And this is the security of the Gnostic, the Being has been discovered him entirely and its marvelous splendor radically destroys all illusions.

The opening of the "Pneuma" or Divine Spirit of man holds the total soteriological content.

If one possesses the Gnosis of the great archaic Mysteries is because the revealing dynamism of Being some very holy men managed approach because their doctrinal loyalty.

Without prior information about Gnostic Anthropology it would be more than impossible rigorous study of diverse anthropological pieces of the Aztec, Toltec, Mayan, Egyptian, etc.

In matters of profane Anthropology –excuse me the similarity-if you want to know results, leave full freedom to a monkey, ape, inside a laboratory and observe the result.

The Mexican codices, Egyptian papyri, Assyrian bricks, the Dead Sea Scrolls, strange Scrolls and certain ancient temples, sacred monoliths, old hieroglyphs, pyramids, ancient tombs, etc., offer in their symbolic depth a Gnostic meaning that definitely escapes the literal interpretation and that has never had an exclusively intellectual explanatory value of nature.

Speculative rationalism, instead of enriching Gnostic language, impoverishes unfortunately since the Gnostic accounts, written or allegorized in any artistic form, they are always oriented towards the BEING.

And in this very interesting semi-philosophical and semi-mythological language of Gnosis that a series of extraordinary invariants, symbols with transcendental esoteric background that in silence speak and says a lot.

They know the Divines and humans that silence is the eloquence of Wisdom.

The characters that clearly specify the Gnostic myth and mutually complement each other are:

1. Supreme Divinity.

2. Emanation and PLEROMATIC fall.

3. DEMIURGUE Architect.

4. NEUMA in the World.

5. Dualism.

6. Salvador.

7. Return.

The Gnostic Supreme Divinity is characterisable as AGNOTOS THEOS, the Absolute Abstract Space. The ignored or unknown God. The Reality one of which emanate the Elohim at the dawn of any universal creation.

Recall that PARANISHPANA is the Summum Bonum, the Absolute, and therefore, same like Paranirvana.

Later, everything that apparently exists in this Universe come to have real existence in the state of PARANISHPANA.

Unquestionably, the faculties of human cognition will never go beyond the Cosmic Realm of the Male-Female Logos, the Creator Demiurge, or the Army of the Voice (the Word).

JAH-HOVAH, the secret Father-Mother of each of us, is the authentic JEHOVAH.

Jod, as Hebrew letter, is the membrum virile (the Masculine Principle).

Eve, Heve, Eva, as well as Hebe, the Greek goddess of youth and the Olympian bride of Heracles, is the Yoni, the divine Chalice, the Eternal Feminine.

The Divine Rabbi of Galilee, instead of worshiping the anthropomorphic Jehovah of the Jewry, worshiped his divine male-female (Jah-hovah), the Father-Mother interior.

The Blessed One, crucified in the Mount of the Skulls, cried with a loud voice, saying, "My Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit." Ram-Io, Isis, his Divine Mother Kundalini, accompanied him on the Stations of the Cross.

All nations have their first god or gods as androgynous. It could not be otherwise, since they regarded their distant primitive progenitors, their ancestors as double sex, as divine Beings and holy Gods, just as the Chinese currently do.

In fact, the misconception of an anthropomorphic exclusive and independent of his own work Jehovah, sitting up there on his throne of tyranny and despotism, throwing thunder and lightning against this sad human anthill, it is the result of ignorance, mere intellectual idolatry .

This misconception of truth has unfortunately seized both the western philosopher and the religious affiliated to any sect lacking completely in Gnostic elements.

What the Gnostics of all times have rejected is not the unknown God, one and always present in nature, or "in abscondito", but the God of the orthodox dogma, the awful vengeful deity of the law of retaliation (eye for eye, tooth for a tooth).

Absolute Abstract Space, the Unknowable God, is neither a limitless void, nor a conditioned plenitude, but both things at once.

The esotericist Gnostic accepts revelation as coming from divine Beings, the manifested lives, but never from the One Life not manifestable.

The unknowable Deity is the Absolute Abstract Space, the rootless root of all that was, is or should be.

This Infinite and Eternal Cause had gotten, of course, devoid of all attributes. It is negative light, negative existence, is beyond all thought or speculation.

The Gnostic myth of Valentinus, which specifically shows thirty  pleromatic Eons mysterious emerging from the Absolute Abstract Space by successive and ordered emanations in perfect couples can and must serve as archetypal model of a monistic myth that more or less manifest is present in all defined Gnostic system.

This momentous point classically oriented towards a ternary division of the divine: The Agnostos Theos (the Absolute), the Demiurge, the Pro-Father, etc.

The divine world, the glorious environment of the Pleroma, came directly from the negative light, negative existence.

Finally, the Nous, Spirit or Pneuma, contains in itself infinite possibilities likely development during the manifestation.

Among the extraordinary limits of being and non-being of philosophy it has occurred multiplicity or fall.

The Gnostic myth of the fall of Sophia (Divine Wisdom) solemnly allegorized this terrible disruption within the Pleroma.

Desire, fornication, wanting to stand out as Ego, causes the collapse and disorder, produces an adulterated work that unquestionably stays outside the divine realm and although in it that caught the Essence, the Budhata, the psychic material of the human creature.

The impulse towards the unity of free life in its movement can be diverted to the self, and the separation, forging a world of bitterness.

The fall of degenerated man is the foundation of the Theology of all ancient nations.

According to Philolaus, the Pythagorean (V century BC), the ancient philosophers said that the psychic material, the Essence, was buried in the self as in a tomb, as punishment for some sin.

Plato testifies that too, that such was the doctrine of the Orphic and he himself professed.

The excessive desire, the reversal of the regime of emanation, leads to failure.

Wanting to distinguish themselves as Ego always originates disorder and the fall of any angelic rebellion.

The author of the world of forms is then a group of mystical creators, male-female or double gods, such as Tlaloc, the god of rain and lightning, and his wife Chalchiuhtlicue, the jade skirt in the Mayan pantheons , Aztec, Olmec, Zapotec, etc., etc., etc.

In the word ELOJIM (Elohim) we find a transcendental key that invites us to reflect.

Certainly, Elohim, with J, translates as God in various authorized and revised versions of the Bible.

It is an incontrovertible fact, not only from an esoteric point of view but also linguistic, the term Elohim is a feminine noun with a masculine plural ending.

The correct translation, "strictly speaking", the name Elohim, Helojim, for in Hebrew the H sounds like J, is Gods and Goddesses.

"The Spirit of the male and female principles hovered over the surface of the formless and the creation took place."

Unquestionably, a religion without Goddesses is halfway complete atheism.

If we really want a perfect balance of psychic life must worship Elojim (the Gods and Goddesses of ancient times) and not the anthropomorphic Jehovah rejected by the Great Kabir Jesus.

Gnostic anthropologists, instead of laughing skeptical, as the profane anthropologists at the representations of Gods and Goddesses of various Aztec, Maya, Olmec pantheons; Toltec, Chibcha, Druid, Egyptian, Indian, Chaldean, Phoenician, Mesopotamian, Persian, Roman, Tibetan, etc., etc., etc., we fall prostrate at the feet of those divinities, for in them we recognize the Elohim creator of the universe. "Whoever laughs at what he ignores is on the way to becoming an idiot."

The deviation from the Creator Demiurge, the antithesis, what is fatal, is the inclination to egoism, the real origin of so much bitterness.

Undoubtedly, the ego consciousness is identified with Yahweh, who, according to Saturninus of Antioch, is a fallen Angel, the genius of evil.

The Essence, the Consciousness bottled into the ego, is processed painfully in time by virtue of its own conditioning.

The situation, certainly not very pleasant, incessantly repeated in the Gnostic relates of the Pneuma, cruelly submitted to the powers of the law, the world and the abyss, it is too obvious to insist on it here.

Disconcerting weakness and helplessness of the poor intellectual mammal, mistakenly called man is evident, wanting to rise from the mud of the earth without the help of the Divine is evident.

There exists a common proverb that reads: ". A God helps those who help themselves"

Only the fiery, enduring Ray, locked in the dark, formless and frigid substance, can reduce the psychological I to cosmic dust to free the Consciousness, the Essence.

We declare with ardent words: only the Divine Breath can reincorporate in Truth. However, however this is only possible from conscious works and voluntary sufferings.

Specific possession of Gnosis is always accompanied by a certain attitude of aliens or strangeness at this illusory Mayavic world.

The authentic Gnostic wants a definite change, feels intimately the secret impulses of the Being and hence their anguish, rejection and embarrassment, before the diverse inhuman elements which constitute the ego.

Seen himself as a moment of totality is known infinite and to reject with all the forces of Being the disgusting egotism of separateness.

Two psychological states open before a definite Gnostic:

A- Being, transparent, crystalline, impersonal, real and true.

B- The I, set of psychic aggregates that personify defects whose sole reason for existence is ignorance.

Superior Ego and lower Ego sections are just two of the same thing, different aspects of myself, various facets of the infernal.

It is therefore the sinister, left and gloomy upper, middle or lower Ego, addition, subtraction and continuous multiplication of inhuman psychic aggregates.

The so-called superior I is certainly a trick of myself, an intellectual ruse of the Ego seeking loopholes to continue to exist, a very subtle form of self-deception.

The I is a horrifying work of many volumes, the result of countless yesterdays, a fatal knot to be untied.

The Egoic self-praise, worship of Me, the overestimation of myself, paranoia, idolatry of the worst kind is.

Gnosis is revelation or unveiling, refined aspiration, conceptual synthesis, greatest achievements.

Ostensibly, both in essence and in accident, Gnosis and Grace are identifiable phenomenon-logically,

Without Divine grace, without the extraordinary assistance of the Sacred Breath, Self-Gnosis, the intimate self-realization of Being, would be more than impossible.

Self-save is indicated and this requires full identification of saving and what is saved.

The Divine that dwells in the depths of the soul, the authentic and legitimate cognitive faculty, annihilates the Ego and absorbs in its PAROUSIA to the Essence and total lighting saves it. This is the theme of SALVATOR SALVANDUS.

The Gnostic who has been saved from the waters has closed the cycle of infinite bitterness, has crossed the boundary separating the ineffable realm of the Pleroma from the ineffable regions of the universe, has courageously escaped the Demiurge's Empire because it has reduced the Ego to cosmic dust

Step through different worlds, the successive annihilation of the inhuman elements secures this return to the Sacred Absolute Sun and then, turned into terribly divine creatures, we pass beyond good and evil.
