The Gnostics Believed - Asif Ali

Gnosis suppressed by the media myths. Most of the Gnostic writings are myths. The language is poetic and imaginative, so there are several interpretations. All agree the Demiurge entrapped the Spirit in matter with important implications for humans.

Gnosticism begins with the basic knowledge that earthly life is filled with suffering. To eat, consume all forms of life together, what pain, fear and death to each other. People are suffering in this world of violence that makes no sense. The Gnostic myth of the Demiurge guilty of this.

Gnostic God concept is more subtle than those of most religions. The final and true God is transcendent, beyond all created universes.

He or she "emerged" from the substance of all that is in all visible and invisible worlds. It is true that everything is God for all of God contains the substance. Some of the divine essence was so far from its original source, the expected changes in the process. All myths are based on Aeons as a being intermediate between the true God or ultimate for us.

One of the Aeon to be, Sophia (wisdom) of great importance to the Gnostic. Sophia left his consciousness flowing. The fruit of their desire was something imperfect and different from her. She was ashamed of them and threw them out of the kingdom of heaven. The term "child" was nothing of its origin and the Demiurge, or "half-maker".

Demiurge was the creator of the material and psychic cosmos. He created everything in the image of his own stream. He believed that the Gnostic Demiurge entrapped the Spirit in matter. This is the cause of the corrupt state of the terrestrial world.

Despite humanity has a perishable physical and psychological component, the spiritual aspect is a fragment of the divine nature that is the "divine spark" in the.

People are not generally set up by the divine spark in them. Death releases the divine spark from its low in prison, but if it has not done significant work of Gnosis of the soul from death, it is likely that the divine will return to slavery in the world physical wake.

Not all people are ready for spiritual Gnosis. Some limits to the earth, materialistic beings to recognize that only the physical reality. Others live largely in their minds (clairvoyant). These people confuse the true God and the Demiurge are unaware of the spiritual world beyond matter and mind.

Gnostic contradicts the theory of man is sinful by nature, but he believes the abuses committed by ignorance, by knowledge of its resources and good man can obtain salvation. The special knowledge "gnosis" was a kind of intuitive or reflexive knowledge of how to get it in the study of the human soul or inner self.

They called this gnosis logos or bright, as it leads to man "hello. Gnosis is the knowledge of transcendence in the way of inner experience came intuitively.

The main teachers of Gnosticism was Jesus who came not from the Demiurge, but directly from God and the Holy Spirit. The Gnostic Jesus taught them secret knowledge, would not share it with the general assembly of the church.
