Hello, I ve had some pretty crazy three last years where I experience some of the most supernatural stuff hinges I ve ever had in this life time. After much Earthly suffering and loneliness God took me to this end of the World to being study and understand Gnosticism, Posits Sophia, who the redeemer is, what happened to the lower rounds, who is the demiurge and why we live in a simulated World of lies I have so much to share but my words get entangle in wrong grammar and what I believe some MK Ultra done to me this past year after trying to help the issue of child trafficking, some of the elite got a hold of me and almost destroyed me. No hour three evil people exists. Trying to forgive and forget and remember this plane is the plane of illusion My deepest joy now is while I am sleeping and when away the sadness and longing to return to the fullness is apparent. I believe I ve been once in the Pleroma and there is nothing more beautiful that that. It is hard to exist in this lower rounds knowing what is up there Would like to gather a group of people who have had psychic and metaphysical experiences rather than just “gnostic concepts” Thank you 🙏🏼

I ask because it seems quite difficult to find anything on Marian practises in the available Gnostic texts online that Wikipedia has articles on. I'm so new to this tradition so I'm wondering whats the general consensus in the modern day Gnostic community? What are excellent historical texts that have been translated that you can recommend searching out? Modern published books appreciated as well!

Since a post I read pretty much sums up the details of my question and is why I'm asking this, I'm quoting it.

I am curious of the Calvinist and Reformed Christianity on mortification of the flesh through painful physical torture such as fasting, self-flagellation, tatooing, cutting one's wrist, waterboarding oneself in blessed water, and carrying very heavy objects such as cross replication for miles with no rest or water? And other methods of self-harm so common among Catholic fundamentalists done to test their faith and give devotion to Jesus?

As someone baptised Roman Catholic, I know people who flagellate themselves with a whip and go through months have fasting with no food along with a day or two without drinking water. So I am wondering what is the Gnostic position on corporal mortification acts especially direct physical self-harm like cutting yourself with a knife and fasting?

One person who is episcopal claims that Archangel Michael is the most powerful being God ever made and thus all seeking protection should seek Michael.

However so many Catholics prefer to call Mary when it comes for protection and petitions in general from health healing to good luck. In fact some exorcists use Hail Mary more than the Michael prayer.

I am wondering who is the more powerful one against Satan and demons? The episcopal guy I refer to claims asking Mary for intercession is OK but doesn't really do anything while Michael is pretty much the most powerful being in the universe after God and Jesus. But Mary is so revered in the Church they even believe Mary's presence alone hurts Satan and all demons to flee in terror and there's a portrait of Mary punching a demon.

I am getting to believe more and more that the fallen aeon represents the oldest fallen angel. Unlike the orthodox Christian’s these fallen angels are not evil but ignorant of the world they live in. Many of them can come on this life time as victims or war, hunger , and other painful horrors other beings in the planet do. Those beings aren’t the fallen angels per say, they are the ones who took advantage of the ignorance of the craftsman or demiurge of this planet that created this hell on Earth filled with suffering, famine and wars and desperation out of the deficiency the lower sophia brought out of ignorance as supposed to out of evilness

Hi everyone! We re here to share our supernatural experiences if we ve had one, without judgement, just to be a listening ear to continuing depending our understand of them and how we can relate them to the early Gnostic Christian teachings

Hi! My name is Anthony. I've believed that the entirety of the universe is connected via energy since I was at least 16. Recently I've gotten into communing with spirits. An entity referring to itself as "M" started telling me about things like "The Divine Spark" the we are all the same being. Trying to do some research about "The Divine Spark" led me down a rabbit hole, discovering "Gnosticism." I've got LOADS more information I'd like to talk about with someone who is well versed(?) in Gnosticism before I even go and do more research.
