#The Path of the Gnostic

I think one of the most off putting things about Gnosticism is so many Gnostic men would react with the same disgust towards seeing Sophia as a Goddess the same way a lot of Christians do to the idea of Mary (Virgin or Magdalene) being in any way divine. Like even the Ecclesia Gnosticism catechism says male pronouns for God must be used as it holds a spiritual power and to use gender neutral or female ones takes that away. Sure, Jan.

ANARCHOWAVE

I am not into supporting the Imperialist Nation of America so screw the red white and blue flag and people that willingly supports it's racist colonial roots. The Flag I show and respect is the Red and Black flag that symbolizes true liberation from an oppressive fascist Nation and State. So screw and burn the American Imperialist Flag and it's frenemy the Confederate Flag The U.S should be no more ever, only a place without borders and the Americas -Amarucas should exist. America should be divided in my opinion based on customs and linguistics in a more tribal way. Though with more understanding more Socialist ideals. So burn the American flag and screw Patriotism because even though I am Native Indigenous I am not a proud American , I am a prisoner of the U.S. I rather be in cohorts and the people all across the globe especially in more of the Socialist countries that take a stand against the U.S. So screw the Red, White and Blue, Screw Nazis bastards and those wave the Confederate flag Fxck you too! Note: Not me in the photo but similar Antifascist message.

Also, I'm on the LHP Spiritually and Politically and there is no separating one from the other for me, so when people come to me talking about their craft, it doesn't mean much to me without the thought of Revolution.

I seek liberation from oppressive forces may it be that of the Christian god who is a bastard and slave owner first dictator or his Archons here in spirit or that of these in the flesh crummy Capitalist politicians who are Republicans and Democrats and the colonists who forced their religion down my people throat.

We are all too familiar with what they call Gospel or music that speaks highly of the Christian god and calling yourself a poor little wrench etc, Well now in the wake of that we've decided to add our own blend and speak our truths in how most of us walked away from Christianity or the Abrahamic oppressive religions and their god in general.

In addition to the morbid and Horror We now also create ANTI-Christian or AntiGospel music and it flourishes at The World Of The Undead also known Undead World. Support Us and our Parent label Undead Necropolis on youtube and subscribe

“For every step that we take in the development of our occult powers, we must take a thousand steps on the path of sanctity.” —Samael Aun Weor, The Major Mysteries

While New Age doctrines fixate upon awakening psychic powers, what many so-called “spiritual” advocates fail to recognize is the greater need for moral character. The acquisition of mystical abilities is not commensurate with virtue, but subordinate to it, for power without responsibility produces demons: beings who have the capacity for deeply impacting the world, but in seriously detrimental ways. See how to safely and responsibly cultivate internal powers for the furtherance of real ethics and the complete development of a true human being.

Jesus and the Left-Hand Path: A Harmonious Paradox

When most people think of Jesus, they envision a figure of humility, submission, and compliance. On the other hand, the left-hand path (LHP) often conjures images of rebellion, self-empowerment, and shadow work. At first glance, these two perspectives seem irreconcilable. However, when we strip away dogma and closely examine Jesus’ teachings, a different picture emerges—one that aligns remarkably well with the principles of the left-hand path.

Let’s dive into how Jesus’ words and actions reflect the LHP’s focus on personal sovereignty, inner divinity, and transformation.

The Left-Hand Path: A Quick Overview

The LHP is about self-realization and personal empowerment. It emphasizes sovereignty, self-deification, and the integration of light and shadow. Rather than submitting to an external authority or dissolving into the divine, practitioners of the LHP seek to embody their own divine potential and take control of their spiritual journey.

Far from rejecting spirituality, the LHP is a path of balance, transformation, and the pursuit of higher knowledge. Surprisingly, many of Jesus’ teachings align with these goals.

Jesus the Revolutionary

Jesus wasn’t a conformist. He was a spiritual revolutionary who empowered individuals to claim their inner divinity and reject oppressive systems.

In John 15:15, Jesus declares, "I no longer call you servants… Instead, I have called you friends." This rejection of the master-servant dynamic elevates his followers to equals, offering them spiritual partnership instead of subjugation.

Similarly, in John 14:12, he challenges his followers, saying, "Whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these." Far from demanding blind worship, Jesus encouraged his disciples to surpass him, using his teachings as a foundation to achieve greater things.

His words in Luke 17:21, "The kingdom of God is within you," emphasize inner divinity. Salvation, he taught, wasn’t found through external rituals or institutions but through self-discovery and personal transformation.

In John 10:34, Jesus quotes scripture, saying, "Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are gods’?" By reminding his audience of their divine nature, Jesus shatters the illusion of separation between humanity and the divine—a core belief of the LHP.

The Gospel of Thomas echoes this sentiment. In saying 70, we read: "If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you." This call to self-awareness and shadow work mirrors the LHP’s principles.

Challenging Religious Conformity

Jesus often clashed with the religious leaders of his time, rejecting their hollow traditions in favor of genuine spirituality.

In Mark 7:6-9, he rebukes the Pharisees: "You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions." He highlights how religious leaders prioritized empty rituals over spiritual growth, a critique that resonates with many modern-day seekers disillusioned by institutional religion.

In Matthew 23:23, Jesus calls out their hypocrisy, saying, "You give a tenth of your spices… But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy, and faithfulness." This shows how even strict adherence to the law can miss the point when the spirit of the law—compassion and growth—is ignored.

One of Jesus’ most striking acts of defiance occurs in John 2:13-16, when he drives out the moneychangers from the temple, exclaiming, "Stop turning my Father’s house into a market!" This act reflects modern frustrations with institutions that prioritize wealth over spiritual connection, such as churches that pressure congregants into excessive giving.

The apocryphal texts add even more layers to this critique. In the Gospel of Thomas, Jesus says in saying 39: "The Pharisees and the scribes have taken the keys of knowledge and hidden them. They themselves have not entered, nor have they allowed those who want to enter to do so." This rejection of religious gatekeeping aligns perfectly with the LHP’s emphasis on personal spiritual sovereignty.

Shadow Work and Transformation

Shadow work is central to the LHP, and Jesus’ teachings reflect its importance.

In Matthew 4:1-11, Jesus spends 40 days in the wilderness, facing temptations and inner struggles. This wasn’t just a test—it was an initiation into his purpose, a confrontation with his shadow.

In Matthew 16:24, Jesus calls his followers to "take up your cross and follow me." Far from a demand for submission, this is an invitation to confront the ego, face life’s trials, and emerge transformed.

The crucifixion itself is a profound metaphor for transformation. The cross represents the death of the old self, while the resurrection symbolizes rebirth and empowerment. This mirrors the LHP’s process of facing the abyss, sacrificing outdated beliefs, and rising renewed.

Conclusion: A Call to Personal Divinity

Jesus’ teachings reveal a revolutionary mystic who encouraged us to reject oppressive systems, embrace our inner divinity, and transform through trials. His message wasn’t one of submission but of empowerment—a call to go beyond him and embody our godlike potential.

For those of us on the left-hand path, Jesus’ words can be a profound source of inspiration. They remind us that spirituality isn’t about conformity or blind obedience but about self-discovery, growth, and the courage to walk our own path.

As we reflect on Jesus’ teachings, let’s remember: the kingdom of God is within us.

Stay curious, stay empowered, and keep seeking your truth.

Shout-out to that self-proclaimed "expert of all things Gnostic" who vehemently insisted I was wrong when I said Matrix was Gnostic as hell and unless I could explain the specific reasons to him I should leave the discussion.

(This was back when Demon the Descent happened and a lot of people were arguing sci-fi and demons/angels couldn't ever mesh, btw)

In case anyone wonders my religious path, I would say I am a Hermetic Pagan with Buddhist, Norse and Christian Mystic influences! I also have some Left Hand tendencies as I am often drawn to 'chaotic' or 'underworld' gods like Loki, Dionysos and Hecate

"The lamps are different, but the Light is the same: it comes from Beyond. If you keep looking at the lamp, you are lost; for thence arises the appearance of number and plurality. Fix your gaze upon the Light." — Rumi, The Masnavi, Book I, Line 781-784

Gnosis and Diwali

Gnosis, as a direct, experiential knowledge of the Divine, harmonizes with Diwali’s core teaching of dispelling darkness. In the Gnostic tradition, darkness represents ignorance of our divine nature, while light symbolizes awakening and union with the Divine. Diwali’s symbolism, through this lens, can be viewed as an opportunity for seekers to engage in self-inquiry, moving beyond intellectual knowledge to direct, spiritual knowing.

By meditating on the symbolism of Diwali—the victory of light—we invite Gnosis by striving to awaken the divine spark within. This inner light, or "nous," reveals our connection to the higher realms, bringing us closer to spiritual unity with God. Diwali, then, becomes not only a reminder to light physical lamps but also to ignite the “lamp” of inner wisdom and self-realization.

Christ Consciousness and Diwali

Christ Consciousness aligns beautifully with the themes of Diwali, as it embodies love, unity, and the divine light within every person. In the Christian mystical tradition, Christ represents divine love and the light of God made manifest in humanity. Just as Diwali celebrates the inner light and overcoming darkness, Christ Consciousness calls for each person to awaken to their divine potential, transcending ego and material illusion to embody compassion, forgiveness, and universal love.

Celebrating Diwali from the perspective of Christ Consciousness encourages individuals to practice forgiveness, compassion, and selfless love. The lighting of lamps symbolizes the inner journey of “Christing,” where we realize our unity with the Divine and with each other. It is about the realization that we are all children of the light and that divine wisdom and love are inherently within us.

"I am a hole in a flute that the Christ’s breath moves through—listen to this music."— Hafez, The Gift, translated by Daniel Ladinsky

Bridging the Teachings in a Personal Practice

Diwali, approached through the lenses of Indo-Tibetan teachings, Gnosis, and Christ Consciousness, offers a powerful opportunity for introspection and transformation. Here are some ways to integrate these teachings in your Diwali celebration:

1. Inner Reflection: Spend time in meditation or contemplation, focusing on areas of inner darkness—fears, doubts, and judgments—that you wish to illuminate with love and wisdom.

2. Lighting Lamps with Intention: As you light each lamp, visualize dispelling inner ignorance and affirm your connection to divine wisdom and compassion, invoking the presence of Christ Consciousness or Buddha nature within.

3. Selfless Service: Diwali is also a time to practice generosity and kindness. Acts of service, particularly those that uplift the marginalized, embody the compassion of both Christ Consciousness and the Indo-Tibetan path of compassionate action.

4. Chanting and Prayer: Engaging in mantra chanting or prayer is a way to tune into the vibrational aspect of divine light, inviting it to dissolve blockages within and around you.

Diwali, as a spiritual celebration, is ultimately about the journey of illumination, a path that is not bound by any single tradition but resonates through various streams of wisdom. Whether approached through the lens of Hindu philosophy, Tibetan Buddhism, Gnostic insight, or Christ Consciousness, Diwali reminds us of our potential to embody and share divine light.

"Do not cease seeking day or night and do not let yourselves relax until you find the mysteries of the Kingdom of Light, which will purify you and make you into pure Light and lead you into the Kingdom of Light."— Pistis Sophia, Chapter 7

"If they say to you, ‘Where did you come from?’ say to them, ‘We came from the Light...’"— Gospel of Thomas, Saying 50

The Firebearer

Mezzotint Print by Gustave Dore In ancient times, the material world was vast and governed by the archons. Humanity, existing within this realm, was perceived as puppets under the control of these celestial rulers.

Cataluxa, an archon themselves, observed the plight of humanity from a higher perspective. They recognized the essence of divinity within each individual, trapped within the limitations of physical form and ignorance. These individuals were remnants of a superior reality, confined by Yaldaboath, the chief ruling archon and imperfect creator of the material world.

Out of immense compassion and a spirit of rebellion, Cataluxa devised a plan. They understood that humanity needed the gift of Gnosis, a transcendent knowledge that surpassed the illusions of the physical world. This Gnosis was symbolized by a luminous flame concealed within the sanctum of the Archons.

Bravely, Cataluxa ventured into Yaldaboath's citadel while the archons slumbered. They reached the core, where the sacred fire burned. With unwavering determination, they seized the flame, ensuring its safe passage to the material realm as they bid farewell to the heavens.

Upon arrival, Cataluxa bestowed the fire upon humanity. The flame illuminated the depths of human consciousness, awakening them to their true nature and the reality of their spiritual confinement. As enlightenment spread, men and women across the land gained clarity beyond the archons' control.

However, this act of defiance did not go unnoticed. In their fury, the archons punished Cataluxa, binding them to the material world, to endure eternal suffering within Yaldaboath's cage. This torment served not only as retribution for stealing the fire but also as a warning to all who would challenge the archons' dominion.

Nevertheless, the fire of Gnosis could not be extinguished. Despite their agony, Cataluxa became a symbol of rebellion and enlightenment. Their sacrifice held great meaning, as humanity's pursuit of transcendence persisted throughout the ages, all thanks to Cataluxa's defiant compassion.

The Anatomy Of Baphomet

Baphomet is one of the most complex and misunderstood figures in occult and esoteric history. Over centuries, it has evolved from a mysterious name whispered during the Crusades to a symbol deeply embedded in modern occultism, especially within Satanism, Thelema, and Left-Hand Path traditions.

History Of Baphomet

Origins in the Templar Trials (14th Century):

• The earliest known use of the name Baphomet was during the Inquisition of the Knights Templar in 1307.

• The Templars were accused of heresy and idolatry, including worship of an idol called "Baphomet". The exact nature of this idol remains unclear—some described it as a human head, a bearded man, or a demon.

• Most modern historians believe the name Baphomet may have been a corruption of Mahomet (an old form of Muhammad), reflecting the Crusaders' exposure to Islam.

19th Century Revival; Eliphas Lévi:

• In 1856, Éliphas Lévi, a French occultist, radically redefined Baphomet in his book Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie.

• Lévi depicted Baphomet as a winged hermaphroditic figure with the head of a goat, a torch between the horns, female breasts and androgynous features, one arm pointing up and one down, with the words Solve (dissolve) and Coagula (combine) on each forearm. This became the iconic image associated with Baphomet today and symbolized the unity of opposites: light and dark, male and female, human and beast, matter and spirit.

20th Century and Beyond (Satanism and the Occult):

• The Church of Satan, founded by Anton LaVey in 1966, adopted Baphomet as a symbol of Satanic philosophy—not as a literal being, but as a representation of rebellion, knowledge, and liberation from religious dogma.

• The Sigil of Baphomet—a goat’s head within an inverted pentagram surrounded by Hebrew letters spelling “Leviathan”—became the official insignia of the Church.

Symbolism Of Baphomet

Baphomet represents balance and integration of opposites. It is a philosophical and alchemical emblem rather than a deity to be worshipped.

Key Symbolic Elements:

• Goat Head- Instinct, primal nature, and untamed energy (possibly derived from the god Pan).

• Torch Between Horns- Divine illumination; the light of intellect and truth.

• Androgyny (Breasts and Caduceus Phallus)- Union of male and female, symbolizing wholeness.

• Wings and Hooves- Duality of spiritual ascent and earthly grounding.

• Arms Pointing Up and Down- The Hermetic axiom “As above, so below”, expressing the correspondence between planes.

• Solve et Coagula- Alchemical principle of breaking down and reforming—transformation and enlightenment.

Baphomet In Magick And Occult Practice

Baphomet is not commonly invoked as a deity but is used as a symbol of occult mastery, personal transformation, and spiritual rebellion.

In Thelema (Aleister Crowley’s System):

• Crowley saw Baphomet as a mystical androgen, a symbol of spiritual initiation and the reconciler of opposites.

• He took the name “Baphomet” as a magical name when he became head of the O.T.O. (Ordo Templi Orientis), aligning it with sexual magick and Gnostic symbolism.

In Satanism (LaVeyan, Theological, Etc.):

• Baphomet is used as a symbol of rational self-interest, rejection of traditional religious authority, and the embrace of carnal existence.

• The Sigil of Baphomet is used in rituals, meditations, and symbolic expressions of personal empowerment.

In Witchcraft and Modern Paganism:

Some non-theistic witches or Left-Hand Path practitioners view Baphomet as:

• An archetype of sacred balance

• A symbol of hidden knowledge

• A guardian of the threshold—facing and integrating one’s shadow

Magickal Uses Of Baphomet

Rituals and Practices:

• Invocation or Meditation- To balance opposing forces within oneself—gender, emotion and reason, higher and lower self.

• Shadow Work- Baphomet can be invoked as a symbol during introspective work, especially when dealing with repressed desires or fears.

• Alchemy and Transformation- In rituals seeking internal transformation, Baphomet represents the alchemical process of spiritual rebirth.

• Sigil Magick- The Sigil of Baphomet is used for protection, empowerment, and banishing fear or dogma.

Altars and Tools:

• Practitioners may use statues, medallions, or artwork of Baphomet to create a liminal sacred space, serve as a focal point for meditation, and represent the divine within and without—a mirror for the seeker.

The Nature Of Baphomet

Baphomet is not a devil, not a god, and not a literal being—it is a metaphysical symbol. Its purpose is to challenge, to enlighten, and to reveal the wholeness hidden in duality. Baphomet asks the seeker to transcend dogma, embrace the totality of existence, and find spiritual freedom through inner synthesis.
