The creation
The
word "Gnostic" must not be understood as relating to other
philosophies and religions that are not originally
christian, an "understanding" that is sometimes abused to
discredit the Gnostic Christianity by the enemies of truth.
The highest dimension is pure light energy and then creations proceeded downwards from that, producing lower levels or dividing an original light in sections.
The
creator will be above all and hence he is the highest dimension and
he is the light and creates out of his own light since there was no
other light at the beginning.
He is the first and eternal entity, the Highest God (El Elyon,) who is light and the light is he.
He saw himself everywhere as light around since he was the light himself. He then wanted to differentiate the light that he was and is, and so that it would have forms, structures and functions.
He did not do anything else but wanting that to happen, and thus it did happen. It was the manifestation of an original thought (protennoia).
Out of this wish and thought emanated Barbelo (Βαρβηλώ), his creative power, to give "birth" to creation, wherefore she is considered to be female by the Gnostics Christians.
The first created entity was Autogenes, the one who through Barbelo and the creator's wish came to be out of himself, the one who we call Christ.
Thus the original triad or trinity formed:
From a Gnostic text about Barbelo:
In
this process, the light condensed in many ways out of thought forms,
like waves and patterns and condensations of light compartmentalized
and individualized as entities that came to be called angels,
especially a number of archangels and then "lesser" angels
group-wise associated with them.
On a primary level is Sophia (wisdom, female), who felt a desire to understand all the creation and her somehow individualized desire manifested in a lower aeon as Achamoth (Ἀχαμώθ, Sophia Achamoth, Hebrew: chokhmah).
This desire then manifested such that it came out of her and thus actually and un- intentionally was created as an entity, without consent by her consort.
This
entity had the face of a lion and the body of a serpent and she gave
him the name
Yaldabaoth (or Yaltabaoth, probably from Aramaic yaldā' bāhūṯ,
"Son of Chaos"). She was startled when she saw this appearance and
hid him in a cloud, realizing that she had made a mistake and
feeling shame, from where he then escaped into darker regions.
The
word is often wrongly associated with a disorder, but the original
meaning is total emptiness, tohu wa-bohu where there is
nothing (yet) and hence space for creation and manifestation of
something and anything, from χάος (kháos, "vast chasm, void").
In the common translation of Ex 20:2-3 and Deut 5:6-7:
The literal translation of these two passages is, however:
The word elohim is the plural of el or eloah = god.
What did Yahweh mean by this - that he would be,
He in any case does not contradict that there could be others and rater speaks in the sense of a non-competition clause…
The
Bible itself indicates in its very beginning that there may also be
other "gods."
However you twist and turn it, it remains a fact that that 'elohim is the plural of 'el or 'eloah = "god."
It has therefore been suggested that it could be understood as "…the gods created…" but this does not fit grammatically, because the verb bara' (created) has the singular form.
Theologians then sweep this under the carpet and declare it to be
pluralis maiestatis. This grammatical form does exist in Hebrew,
but there is another solution to the problem that is probably
overlooked on purpose.
According to dictionaries, re'shit can alternatively mean "the first of its kind", and be can refer to the origin.
Thus the word bere'shit can also be seen as a somewhat tautological expression meaning "the original first" or "the very first" or "the primordial (Creator)."
Then the following fits grammatically:
Furthermore, very few translations have "the heavens," keeping the plural of the original text.
But the Hebrew word shamayim, "heaven", also has the plural form and can meaningfully be under- stood as "cosmic worlds."
Who, then, are the created gods?
In our
context, obviously the inhabitants of other cosmic worlds - planets
and other dimensional realms - that is,
extraterrestrial life in general, also other gods out there and
interdimensional entities.
But was not the original light of El Elyon everywhere?
In the Hebrew Kabbalah 1 there is a remarkable explanation by the great Rabbi Isaac Luria (Yitzhak Lurya) that,
1 - Some readers may consider the Kabbalah as something rather negative and associate it with magic. It is true that kab- balistic principles and demonology are abused in certain forms of magic and associated rituals, but there is also much knowledge and wisdom in the Kabbalah and we need to separate the chaff from the wheat.
Outside this primarily empty space will be a dark region, the further away the darker, which became subdivided in more or less dim or dark regions.
Interestingly, there are certain similarities in the description of creation in the Indian philosophy Sāṃkhya where, according to the ancient philosopher Kapila the universe came to be out of the will of the creator (Brahmā).
In it, various elements are in a balance (equilibrium) that can be disturbed by various factors and therefore disordered, where after it has to find a balanced state anew.
This
repeats and thus new levels arise in the universe as elements
reorder to balance.
In medieval angelology, (common) angels constituted the lowest of the nine celestial orders, the hierarchy of angels (seraphim, cherubim, thrones, dominations or dominions, virtues, powers, principalities or princedoms, archangels, and [actual] angels).
One of the archangels was Satanael (Satanel, Satanail), by many considered to be the first archangel. He was self-admiringly narcissistic and thought up the impossible idea that he might place his throne higher in the clouds which are above the earth, and that he might become equal to the power of the creator God.
Because of this arrogance he was cast out of the light, together
with a third (common interpretation of Rev 12:4) of the angels
(presumably those that were under his leadership as he still was an
archangel).
And Hesekiel 28:15-17 tells us:
Archangels have their specific tasks.
What
could Satanael's task have been before he was cast out?
He may have been some kind of administrator who developed his own philosophy about how things should be administered. Actually the Sumerian word satam means "administrator."
A basic principle of the highest creator El Elyon is empathy, love and harmony.
However Satanael apparently saw an alternative principle as being somehow more "effective" for rule and management, being selfish competition, where "needed" by means of strength, brute force and totalitarianism, irrespective of individual wishes and desires of others.
A rule
of the stronger overpowering the weak (a bit analogous to Darwin's
"survival of the fittest").
He as Yaldabaoth first became a kind of "miscarriage" of Sophia Achamoth and then escaped into the darker regions, where he established himself as Yahweh.
From this expulsion, he might have an inferiority complex and he in a darker region established his own enclave as a vengeful compensation, where he wants to be the only god and separate himself as well as his own "creations" from the true Creator God.
Thus Satanael became merely Satan (without "el" = divine). Some texts state that Satanael is the elder of two sons of God and the other is Christ.
Bogomilism, a Gnostic dualistic sect that flourished in Europe in the 10th through 15th centuries, regarded Satanael as such.
According to them, Satanael existed before Christ and was created good, along with all the other angels. He was held in the highest esteem and sat at the right hand of God as his steward. Soon, however, he grew dissatisfied with his situation and rebelled.
He persuaded other angels to join him, promising them freedom from boring liturgical duties. God reacted by casting them all out of heaven.
Satanael wandered in the void and then decided to make a new world for himself - a second heaven over which he could become like a second God. The universe became this second heaven (Occult World).
Yet I
more trust the creation as described by the original Gnostic
Christians (Bogomilism was a later branch) about Autogenes
being the first created entity.
Also 31.1 4:
However, one cannot kill the creator without annihilating one's own existence.
What really happened will be that they settled in a separate region where they wanted nothing to do with the creator but declared him "dead" - "deicide" - to live on as if he did not exist. We may also compare with the Gnostic-Christian creation story where Yaldabaoth, a relatively godless entity, came to be by "mistake" and then had escaped from the original light world.
He then settled in a darker region, where he called himself Yahweh and wanted nothing to do with the real creator but instead made believe ("original lie") that he would be the creator himself, to live as if the real creator would not exist. It is interesting in this respect that according to research in the history of religion in a view of cultural history Yahweh is a storm and war god from Sinai.
Enlil,
one of the created entities according to Enuma Elish, is also
regarded as a "storm and war god"!
In English texts, the names Jahweh or Jehova are occasionally also used, even though this is the German transliteration of ה ו ה י (in which the J is the German J that is pronounced Y).
Since originally the Hebrew texts left the vocalization (punctuation) out - probably because the name should not be pronounced - various attempts to vocalize it have been made.
Yahweh
is the suggestion of Gesenius and the more common form today.
Yehovah is another approach, adapting vowels from "Adonai" (ādônay=
"lord", used to avoid pronunciation of "the four letters").
In his arrogance he boosted,
Because of that he was called Samael, the blind one, since he
did not want to see the truth. He was also called Saklas, the
fool. Matter formed in his realm.
More interesting is what the apocryphal texts like the ones of the Gnostic Christians tell us, but this would be a bit of a deviation from the subject here, which is to investigate the origin of evil. It may suffice to point out what is probably not clear to Christians in general: the two-fold creation of humans.
First we have Gen 1:26-29:
The word that is here translated as "God" is, again, elohim.
As we have seen, it really means "gods", that is a group of entities created by the highest God El Elyon. They were the entities that in their image created man and woman in equal value.
Then we have a second story in Gen 2:7:
A man that was to be like a gardener in Yahweh's personal garden. He forbade him to eat of the "tree of knowledge." In the Hebrew text it is called 'etz ha-da'at, meaning "tree of wisdom."
It has nothing to do with sexuality, but with seeking to know more than you should, in the sense of "do what you are told and do not ask questions."
Twisting this to be about "knowledge" even in the sense of sex is out of wishful thinking of the ruling patriarchs who wanted to have the joy sex for themselves but not for the people and thus they used this as a means for control.
Moreover:
On this platform in the staircase of evil we now face the abominable character of Yahweh.
He through Moses led the Hebrews to the "Promised Land." When they after walking many years through Sinai reached this land, they to their disappointment saw that it was not free. People lived there in towns.
Therefore Yahweh ordered that they should without exception all be killed, not sparing a child, a woman nor an old man, so that they would live in,
Thus a veritable holocaust took place in which one town after the other was attacked and the killing hordes "left none remaining" as is vividly told on the blood pages of Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges and other books in the Bible.
After this complete genocide, they finally had stolen the land from its original inhabitants to have it for themselves.
Is
that a loving and peaceful god like the one that Jesus called
"Father"? Of course not!
One example:
In Num 31:14-18 we read:
In Num 31:35 it is also reported that they brought 32000 virgin girls as booty from a raid but everyone else was killed.
A few more examples:
In the Psalms we read:
These are mere examples of abominations in the Bible.
There is such a high number of passages of this kind that one could write a book about this alone. The highly learned German scholar Karlheinz Deschner wrote about it in his Kriminalgeschichte des Christentums Band 1 ("Criminal History of Christianity" Vol. 1).
A book
especially worth reading is
Jehovah Unmasked! by Nathaniel Merritt.
Is it not obvious that Yahweh, who ruled over the people in that land and today wants to rule over the entire world - also through Churches that have adopted him as their "god" - in this manner disqualifies himself?
When he says "Thou shalt have no other gods before me" (Ex 20:3), does it mean that there are no other gods, or is it a non-competition clause:
The land Canaan was an essential part of the "Promised Land" and was populated by people, who from Mesopotamian sources knew important truths.
That has been clarified by research into the history of religions and excavation findings that uncovered many inscriptions.
Even though Enlil/Yahweh was connected with these sources, he wanted this truth to remain secret so that he could pose himself as a "primordial god."
That
may be a reason why the Hebrews should in his ser- vice eliminate
the people in the land to which they had been led.
Many of them were later led to Egypt because of a famine (Gen 12:10).
There they were treated as second-class people and Yahweh used their misery to much later lead them back to Canaan to "save them", even though they there killed descendents of their own ancestors that were their relatives.
Concerning Jesus, Yahweh had him killed because he taught things humans should not know.
In The Gospel of Truth (a Gnostic text), where Yahweh is called error (since his "birth" as "Yaldabaoth" was considered a mistake), is written:
Cf. websites like "Cruelty and Violence in the Bible" and "Proof that Yahweh is Satan." How can it be that he is such a blood addict? Let us have a look at the flow of life energy in the creation!
It is obvious that,
The life-giving light is the light of the true creator and even Yahweh depends on that for his existence.
Yet he wants complete separation from that light and has tried in vain with some kind of lower- dimensional luciferian light.
Therefore, he feeds on us and other biological life forms in the creation through the blood. Invisible to us, the light of life is flowing in our blood and that is why the Bible actually prescribes shechita (even though without instruction).
When slaughtering an animal, its throat has to be cut and the blood let out. The blood is for the gods and the meat for the humans.
In the Gilgamesh-Epos there is a scene that says more than the mere words:
Entities like Yahweh and his archons feed on the (to us) invisible life energy in the blood.
The source for this life-giving light is the sun (cf. Could a globe in the Universe actually be a hole?).
Plants feed on sunlight and combine it with carbon dioxide and substances from the earth they grow in. Humans and animals feed on plants and their fruits and that is how they get life energy. Many humans feed on animals who have fed on plants and more indirectly get life energy.
Certain non-3D entities feed on humans… yet Yahweh want to break
this last chain in nutrition and become completely independent from
his creator. What will then happen?
He still needs us to develop artificial intelligence and robotic systems until these systems become independent and span a computerized network all over the Earth in which he can then, finally, incarnate (or "inmachinate").
Then he will need no biological life anymore and eliminate it in all forms, thus in his way thanking humanity for its "service."
The Earth will then be a dead planet, but technologically simulate "life", maintaining functionally from nuclear reactors and the like, repairing, rebuilding and developing its own system and subsystems.
Yet he will after thousands or maybe a million years realize that also this has an end as such energy sources inevitably become exhausted…
No
such system can last forever!
The 20th century holocaust is but one example and the Canaanean holocaust mentioned above is another. It is reflected in today's Satanism that is spreading as a social psychopathology, doubtlessly inspired by archontic and similar entities.
There are those who belong to a satanic order and practice horrible rituals that not rarely involve killing for sacrifice. The most disgusting rituals include sexual abuse of a child that is at the end killed and even consumed!
What is the purpose of such cannibalistic consumption?
A rather recent discovery is that of adrenochrome, a hormone regarded as a secret immortality serum (which I presume it is not really, but it seems to greatly boost power and mind, and certainly selfishness in an extreme "high").
It is derived from adrenalin and produced in the body under extreme conditions of fear, horror and pain, and that is the purpose of treating the victim accordingly.
Then
that hormone can be consumed…
Further extreme horrors are described in 'The BIGGEST Thruth Bomb EVER!'
This is one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen!!! Only for stable nerves… BUT IT IS OBVIOUSLY A REALITY OF THE UTMOST EVIL!!!
As we have seen, evil can be traced to the beginning of creation where at some point something went wrong and a strand of events began to develop that should never have been and nevertheless seems to persist at heavy expenses of humanity, so that really no one is completely free from guilt, even though distantly touched by it!
Is it
then not our duty to look facts in the face with the intention to
somehow find something to do about it? And what can we do?
But not the fake Christ of the Church (with his fake Jesus), but the real Christ who sent Jesus as a messenger that was killed by Yahweh, so that Yahweh could replace true Christianity with a faked one.
And where do we find the real Christ? In ourselves, but also in the so called Gnostic Christianity that has its roots in the inner circle around Jesus.
The
knowledge about this was miraculously hidden to be found in our time
(in
Nag Hammadi). It is available again, today. It looks like by
divine will this knowledge has been secretly "tunneled" through
severe times in which it otherwise became lost, so that humanity
will now have it again in an approaching end-time.
There is as much room for evil as for good in this concept. Christ was created good (in a way as the love of the creator). Therefore it does not seem like a suitable alternative. Or a polytheistic religion like Hinduism or the Nordic Ásatrú? These seem relatively peaceful.
Or Islam? Is there not as much violence there as in Yahwism?
I just received a remarkable book that I want to mention for the
interested:
Yahweh The Two-Faced God by Joseph P. Farrell and Scott D.
deHart, Prometheus Press 2011.
