Date: October 13th, 2025 10:54 AM Author: purple hairraiser puppy yarmulke I’m now going to have to read his 900+ page exegesis, sigh, and who knows what else maybe . He’s too evolved, he’s deeply keyed into the Jung/gnostic stuff similar to my approach but not entirely, and he had an interesting vision/epiphany which changed his world (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5786018&forum_id=2#49345815) |

Date: October 13th, 2025 11:23 AM Author: purple hairraiser puppy yarmulke gnosticism flourished in the early christian era, it was brutally suppressed by the satanic this-world-focused power hungry church (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5786018&forum_id=2#49345869) |

Date: October 13th, 2025 11:26 AM Author: henna 180 rehab It doesn't make sense attached to Christianity in the sense of any sort of Jesus based religion.
It makes sense as sci-fi Matrix and general philosophical approach to theodicy I guess (although overly engineered explanation)
Square this with gnosticism:
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments

Date: October 13th, 2025 11:27 AM Author: purple hairraiser puppy yarmulke it's easy to square christianity with gnosticism, the first thing to point to is the temptations of christ where satan offers christ rulership over all of the nations of the world, implying that satan is in charge of this reality. try squaring that with the goodness of this world.

Date: October 13th, 2025 11:31 AM Author: henna 180 rehab it's only easy if you literally ignore Jesus's quoted statements that demonstrate nothing more than orthordox Christitianity such as:
For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.
No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money
And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.

Date: October 13th, 2025 12:13 PM Author: purple hairraiser puppy yarmulke they made a shitlib TV series out of that one, no? personally, i always liked dick's short sci fi stories vs his bigger novels - i was interested in his ideas and not the character play. even in VALIS i would prefer that he ditch all the characters and just delve into metaphysics directly (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5786018&forum_id=2#49346002) |
