This Shepherd was no man, but Divine Humanity or the Great Man or Mind

The main Gospel of the Trismegistic Gnosis is contained in a sacred sermon which bears in Greek the title “Pcemandres.”

This may perhaps have been originally the Greek transliteration of an Egyptian name (ii., 50); but from OF the treatise itself it is manifest that it HERMES, was understood by the Greek followers of this Gnosis to mean “The Shepherd of Men,” or ” Man-shepherd.” (more…)

Gnosis of all things

“To such My Presence doth become an aid, and straightway they gain Gnosis of all things, and win the Father’s love by their pure lives, and give Him thanks, invoking on Him blessings, and chanting hymns, intent on Him with ardent love.” – Hermes

The Gnosticism of Barack Obama

“One by one the barriers have fallen to President Obama’s “gnostic revolt,” and few dared challenge him for fear of being called “racist.” President Barack Obama listens to offerings of prayers at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, Thursday, Feb. 7, 2013. (AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta)But Obama’s race does not account for his revolution; it is ideology, fueling his revolt against “God and man,” remaking God and the practice of religion, remaking man, woman, society, and its institutions, even if it means disregard for the U.S. Constitution and its limits on executive power. It is Gnosticism.” – Fr. Daniel Pattee

I’m starting to notice a new trend where various prominent Catholics in the Church, including Pope Francis, have publicly attacked the Gnostics and Gnosticism in the past year. It was just this past November that Pope Francis had warned the Italian Church, and Roman Curia about “two temptations.” One of these temptations were what he described as the dangers of Gnosticism.

The School of Gnosticism was divided into two major parts

By 33rd Degree Freemason, Manly P. Hall – “The School of Gnosticism was divided into two major parts, commonly called the Syrian Abraxas 4Cult and the Alexandrian Cult. These schools agreed in essentials, but the latter division was more inclined to be pantheistic, while the former was dualistic.

While the Syrian cult was largely Simonian, the Alexandrian School was the outgrowth of the philosophical deductions of a clever Egyptian Christian, Basilides by name, who claimed to have received his instructions from the Apostle Matthew. Like Simon Magus, he was an emanationist, with Neo-Platonic inclinations. (more…)

The Gnostic viewpoint concerning the Christ

By 33rd Degree Freemason, Manly P. Hall – “The Gnostic viewpoint concerning the Christ is well worthy of consideration. This order gnostic-christclaimed to be the only sect to have actual pictures of the Divine Syrian. While these were, in all probability, idealistic conceptions of the Savior based upon existing sculpturings and paintings of the pagan sun gods, they were all Christianity had.

To the Gnostics, the Christ was the personification of Nous, the Divine Mind, and emanated from the higher spiritual Æons. He descended into the body of Jesus at the baptism and left it again before the crucifixion. (more…)

Gnostic heresies have arisen time and time again – Today they are back again

“Gnostic heresies have arisen time and time again. Today they are back again.” – Princeton scholar Robert George

The article below is a hit piece on all modern Gnostics by the official newspaper of the Archdiocese of San Francisco. The writer of this article associates “social liberalism” as a form of neo-Gnosticism, and quotes Princeton scholar Robert George who says, “Same sex marriage, abortion, euthanasia, transgenderism all derive from a neo-Gnostic view of what a human being is, George said. Gnostic ideas are “ideologically dominant among our cultural elites.” (more…)
