Islam's Gnostic, Hermetic and Masonic Connections. With Sam Shamoun Path To Enlightenment News 3 Views • 2 years ago

Are you familiar with the links of Islam to the KKK, or to the founding of the Nazi Party? Do you know Islam is a Gnostic religion, or that it has a strong Hermetic influence? Hermes Trismegistus is Idris, the 2nd prophet in the Koran. This puts Islam somewhere on par with Madame Blavatsky. Let's explore. Originally aired live with @shamounian

The Kybalion - The Principle of Correspondence - Hermetic teachings, Gnostic wisdom, Occult knowledge. The Principle of Correspondence "As above, so below; as below, so above." The Kybalion. This Principle embodies the truth that there is always a Correspondence between the laws and phenomena of the various planes of Being and Life. The old Hermetic axiom ran in these words: "As above, so below; as below, so above." And the grasping of this Principle gives one the means of solving many a dark paradox, and hidden secret of Nature. There are planes beyond our knowing, but when we apply the Principle of Correspondence to them we are able to understand much that would otherwise be unknowable to us. This Principle is of universal application and manifestation, on the various planes of the material, mental, and spiritual universe--it is an Universal Law. The ancient Hermetists considered this Principle as one of the most important mental instruments by which man was able to pry aside the obstacles which hid from view the Unknown. Its use even tore aside the Veil of Isis to the extent that a glimpse of the face of the goddess might be caught. Just as a knowledge of the Principles of Geometry enables man to measure distant suns and their movements, while seated in his observatory, so a knowledge of the Principle of Correspondence enables Man to reason intelligently from the Known to the Unknown. Studying the monad, he understands the archangel.

Who are the Archons - The Rulers of the Cosmos in Gnosticism & their Origins in Cosmology and Ma Path To Enlightenment News 3 Views • 2 years ago

Gnosticism is infamous for its conception of the cosmos as the creation of the satanic Demiurge. But along with this entity is a retinue of demonic cosmic powers or Archons that act as co-creators and wardens of this prison universe. Join me as I explore the origins, nature and function of the Archons. From their terrible origins as primeval excretions of the Demiurge, to their dreadful creation of the human physical and psychical body - even a renegade Archon that defied the Demiurge and is even said to have created Jesus Christ. The Archons are an often overshadowed aspect of Gnosticism. Let's trace their origins in the demonization of Yahweh, the Cosmic Daimons and Greco-Egyptian Magic.

The Dark Secret of the Gnostic Creation Story
The Dark Secret of the Gnostic Creation Story Path To Enlightenment News 4 Views • 2 years ago

Gnostic Creation Stories are a retelling of tales inspired by Gnostic cosmology. Following the fall of the Divine Feminine Goddess Sophia and her descent from gnostic heaven known as the Pleroma. In her descent she would give birth to a false god known as Yaldabaoth who would go on to create planet earth, trapping souls in human bodies and separating them from the truth of Gnosis - Spiritual Enlightenment.

🤔 What is Gnosticism? 🧐

Gnosticism is an ancient religious and philosophical belief system that emerged in the early centuries of the Common Era. It encompasses a diverse range of mystical teachings and spiritual perspectives. At its core, Gnosticism centers on the notion of gnosis, which means "knowledge" in Greek.

Disclaimer: The subject matter presented in this video is inspired by Gnostic cosmology. Creative liberties have been taken for storytelling and entertainment purposes only! Gnostic cosmology can be quite complex and varied, with different interpretations and variations across different Gnostic traditions This video is not intended to offend, replace or provide misinformation about religious beliefs, texts or principles. It is encouraged to approach this content with an open mind, fostering respectful and thought-provoking discourse.

What is Gnosis?

In Gnostic thought, this knowledge is considered to be a special, transcendent wisdom. It is often portrayed as a hidden knowledge, reserved for a select few who seek to liberate themselves from the constraints of the material world and its illusions.

Central to Gnosticism is the idea of a stark duality between the spiritual realm, associated with the divine and the true nature of reality, and the material world, which is seen as a flawed creation. The creator of the material world, sometimes known as the Demiurge, is often depicted as a lesser, ignorant deity responsible for trapping human souls in a state of ignorance and suffering.

Gnosticism emphasizes the pursuit of spiritual enlightenment and salvation through direct, personal experience of this hidden knowledge, often attained through mystical practices and insights. Different Gnostic sects have developed various mythologies, cosmologies, and ethical teachings, but the overarching theme remains the same: seeking liberation from the constraints of the material world and returning to the spiritual realm of ultimate truth and freedom.

Yahwism under the Achaemenid Empire
Professor Shaul Shaked in Memoriam
Edited by: Gad Barnea and Reinhard G. Kratz
Links to academic articles from Dr. Barnea:
https://haifa.academia.edu/gadbarnea

Dr. Barnea is a Lecturer at the department of Jewish history and biblical studies at the University of Haifa as well as a Research Fellow at “the Bible in its Traditions,” a research project of the École biblique et archéologique Française de Jérusalem - and a flagship in the field of Digital Humanities. Barnea’s scholarly focus is directed at researching and teaching the evolution and character of “Yahwism under the Iranian ‘Age of Empires’”—from the rise of the Achaemenid empire to the fall of the Sassanian empire.

Already during his academic studies, Barnea recognized that the scholarship of the ancient Near East, ancient Judaism and biblical studies is seriously crippled by a lack of awareness and engagement with the rich history, linguistics, cultic practices and writings of the Iranian empires who, in one way or another, ruled over the region and its peoples for well over a millennium. The Iranian “age of empires” was instrumental as the historical and ideological background for the composition, edition and redaction of the Hebrew Bible, the apocryphal texts, early-Christianity, the so-called “Gnostic” writings as well as rabbinic and early mystical Jewish works.

Specifically in the realm of cultic practices, Barnea’s scholarship examines the dialogue and symbiosis of early-Zoroastrianism and Yahwism (or early Judaism). On that front, Barnea has made several important contributions—in articles as well as lectures—to the study of interpretatio iudaica in the Achaemenid period as well as the early-Zoroastrian features found in the royal inscriptions (Xerxes’ “Daiva” inscription). He has recently designed a course, entitled “Seen from the East: Judaism under the Iranian ‘Age of Empires’” which he is currently teaching simultaneously at the universities of Haifa, Israel and Oldenburg, Germany.

A significant portion of Barnea’s scholarship is devoted to epigraphic work. He has recently published a previously misread ostracon from Elephantine dating to the early Achaemenid period, which is the first and only direct witness we possess of a Jewish female temple officiant-a priestess-in charge of a cultic service at the temple of Yhw. it is also the earliest Jewish curse text known to us outside the bible and the only direct extra-biblical witness we have to a Jewish ritual of any kind prior to the Greco-Roman period. In addition, it is the oldest known example of this genre of “curses against thieves” which we know were very popular later in the Greco-Roman world and the only known specimen of such a curse text that survived in Aramaic. Furthermore, it is the unique witness of this genre of curse ritual in a Jewish context, and the sole record of any ritual performed at a temple to Yahweh.

Barnea’s epigraphic work also led him to restore a remarkable Qumran scroll (4Q550) which recounts a previously unknown Achaemenid court tale and is forthcoming in Brill’s DSSE series. He has recently signed an agreement with Palgrave-Macmillian to write a comprehensive book covering the history and character of the Yahwistic community at Elephantine and is co-editor with Prof. Reinhard Kratz (Gõttingen) of the forthcoming book “Yahwism under the Achaemenid empire,” which is and edited volume inspired by the international conference under the same name (in honor of the late Prof. Shaul Shaked) that Barnea organized in Dec. 2022 at the university of haifa.

International collaboration is a central feature of Barnea’s activities and his collaboration with Prof. Benedikt Hensel on a number of groundbreaking projects promises to rethink the epigraphy of Judaism in the Achaemenid period using innovative methodologies and technologies.

Finally, Barnea brings several decades of experience in designing and managing complex technology projects into the field of Digital Humanities - as well as in the formulation and establishment of international technology standards (VRML 97). He has been a central member and a technology consultant of the Digital project “the bible in its traditions” and is currently developing, together with Prof. Hensel, a new standard approach to the elaboration of Digital Humanities projects.
