  • A Simple Model of the Gnostic Universe

    The lifeless material of our universe is organized and controlled by the Demiurge. The living parts are the 2nd Order of Powers sent from the Pleroma to bring the consciousness of the Holy Spirit into creation. Mud up=Demiurgic control; Spirit down=Golden Rule of Cooperation.

    Transpersonal Consciousness and Gnosis

    Transpersonal consciousness, the Akashic record, and morphogenetic fields are all names for the “mind of God” that informs our universe and saturates our space. This external memory is shared by us all. How does it work and how can you tap into this limitless wisdom?

    Mud Up, Spirit Down

    This episode shares a couple of basic concepts from Cyd’s theory of everything called “A Simple Explanation of Absolutely Everything.” The idea that kicked it all off was a phrase that came to me: “Mud Up, Spirit Down.” What does that have to do with toruses? Or fruit salads? How on earth does any of this tie in to Gnostic studies and the Nag Hammadi? And why should we care?

    The Fall: Who, what, where, how, and why

    According to Gnostic cosmology, the Fall was not instigated by humans. It was most definitely not when Eve handed Adam an apple from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The Fall occurred way before that. Way before humans. Way before the creation of heaven and earth. In fact, according to Gnostic cosmology, the Fall is what kicked off our material instantiation and set the stage for this universe to come into being. Here’s what happened.

    Ego’s Shroud

    The Ego protects us from the world. The Ego collects our experiences and memes and holds them on its surface. From the outside, it looks to our neighbors as though we are only our Ego because the Ego is opaque, and it hides our internal, eternal spirit.

    Centering

    This episode looks at “centering” from several perspectives. What is centering and why do people do it? Learn how to center using toroidal flow–a consciousness-studies favorite. You can also center using the sign of the cross and the Lord’s Prayer.

    Escaping Fundamentalism with Adrian Charles Smith, Part 1

    In this interview, gnostic author Adrian Charles Smith shares his intimate understanding of fundamentalism as a fractal pattern that permeates all institutions, from literalist churches to Progressive politics. An ex-pastor and lawyer, Smith defines fundamentalism as possessing the form of law yet lacking the spirit of truth, and its methods are ever the same, no matter where you find it.

    Whence Arises Consciousness? Part 2: AI and Robotics

    Is there a qualitative difference between life forms and the potential consciousness of computers and robots? Why is it that “meat” levels up to make more complex, conscious assemblages, whereas “mud” can’t rise above its molecular level aggregations? Hint: perhaps it’s the difference between the Demiurge and the Pleroma.

    Whence Arises Consciousness? Part 1: Consider Viruses and Organoids

    Much to its chagrin, the demiurge cannot create life or imbue consciousness into dead matter. This episode examines viruses and organoids to uncover the fine…

    Slime Mold Pleroma

    One cool thing about slime molds is that they are individual, single-celled organisms, yet when conditions call for it, they come together and form one fully coordinated body. Once in that aggregated body, the mold acts according to the Simple Golden Rule, with one mind, one will, and one goal, just like the Pleroma.

    Monads, Panpsychism, and the Fullness of God

    Our universe is comprised of fractal units of consciousness of the Fullness of God, each with their own point-of-view. These monads come into our universe with all of the original consciousness of the Father and the Son, however the knowledge contained is on a need-to-know basis.

    The Generation of the Son

    Who and what is the “Son” presented in the Tripartite Tractate of the Nag Hammadi library? The Son makes it possible for us to infer who the inexpressible Father is. This episode looks deep into the gnosis of the Son.

    Archetypes and Complex Fractals

    Our lives are reenactments of dramas written long before our births, and we find ourselves playing out scenes populated by archetypal characters and complex fractal stories.

    I Am Not Me–The Self

    For most people, the answer to “who am I?” is that I am my self-aware sense of “me” encased in this body of mine. Yes, we are that, but we are also the things we love and hate, plus the record of our actions in this world, overlaid upon a perfect fractal echo of God’s mind.

    Episode 4 Fullness, Fractals, and the Fall

    The final Aeon, named Logos, held all of the traits of the other Aeons within his design as fractals within his body.
