Sorry all, been gone. Just thought I would throw something in on this conversation. Even long after it was demonstrated that the Corpus Hermetica came from the...
Hello pmcvflag ... Wasn't the emerald tablet known before the Renisance rediscovery of the Hermetic texts, and cited by earlier Alchemists? If so, that could...
Hey Mike ... the Hermetic texts, and cited by earlier Alchemists? If so, that could lead to the idea it was more ancient. The Sephir Yedzirah was out there...
... How 'bout I start with the "Fragments" of Codex XII . . . and have that ready by . . . say . . . early next year? How long do you s'pose the compilation...
... Good help is always appreciated, Marina. For such a collaborative effort though, we would probably have to dispense with references to the original texts...
Hello Gerry ... And copyright law would be a nightmare, because anything more than a small quote for review purposes is considered misuse without the author's...
Hello, all, I have been reading the online recources lately that define and discuss religious Gnosticism. Namely, I have read through much of "Gnosis.org" and...
My name is Nathan, and I'm a Gnostic, and have been one for several years. I'm a former Baptist minister who becamse a Buddhist priest and am now a Gnostic....
Doesn't sound nuts to me, Nathan. In fact, that's not so different than my own evolutionary spiritual development. Durak, aka j.j.salt magus_solitudo...
Hello Chuck, I am new to this discussion group but I thought i might throw in a few of my opions on your answers. Rememeber when dealing with pure logic it is...
... Hello, Chuck. The Unknown "Father" is described in absolutely apophatic terms.>>"It" or "He" is not a being or a god, per se. Even though human language...
David, I think you're absolutely right, though the limitations of language make the discussion difficult. We speak of balance in purely human terms, and THINK:...
David and Ange, thank you for your personal opinions. In light of Chuck's questions, could we swing around and consider your observations in comparison or...
Hello flowjack11 ... God the Unknown Father is not perfect nor is he imperfect because he transcends all qualities, indeed he transcends existance itself. ... ...
Hello, again, I still find these ideas fascinating, if somehow paradoxical, and am not arguing just to be contentious. I am trying to sort out my own beliefs...
Hello flowjack11 ... I think you need to read the back posts to this list, as your questions are answered there, particulary the one about exestentialism, not...

Hey Chuck ... discuss religious Gnosticism. Namely, I have read through much of "Gnosis.org" and a few other sites. As such, I wouldn't call myself a...
Hey again Chuck ... corrupt once separated from the original source or the "Pleroma", et cetera. Surely, such is the mark of a being which does not transcend,...
The notion of 'The Father's substance becoming corrupt.." underlines the critical place our understanding of time plays in our ability to envision true...
I'm probably not the best one to speak on the subject of the traditional Gnostic philosophies. For one think I don't feel that the material world is inherently...

I like where the discussion is going. I will be too busy to write or read much of anything for the next few days, but as the weekend approaches I'll think...
Ange, I agree with what you are saying, To go a bit further though would be to say, how can something be corrupted within an essence where corruption does not...
Hello, all, Well, looks like I found time to post and think afterall. Many people have stated many things. I will address them in no particular order. Ange...
Cari stated: "Also, perhaps, if you feel comfortable, you could share with us a bit of your past experience or involvement with religion." I am always happy to...
Chuck, It seems that you might be trying to hard to understand one particular following and way of gnosticism, when many facets are prevelant today. Becareful...
