The Cosmic Story of Sophia and the Elohim

According to Gnostic texts, Sophia, whose name means "Wisdom," was one of the most passionate and curious entities among the Elohim.

This descent marked a crucial point in Gnostic cosmogony.

From the Gnostic perspective, Sophia's descent was a voluntary sacrifice, an expression of pure love toward creation.

According to Gnostic tradition, throughout the ages, humanity has become increasingly immersed in matter, forgetting its divine purpose.

Melchizedek

The Nag Hammadi Library is a collection of early Christian and Gnostic texts discovered in Egypt in 1945.

The Epistle to the Hebrews (though not Gnostic, it influenced Gnostic thought): Hebrews portrays Melchizedek as a priest without lineage, a prototype of Christ's eternal priesthood, which influenced Gnostic interpretations emphasizing divine mystery and transcendence beyond earthly lineage.

In Gnostic thought, Melchizedek is often viewed as a divine or semi-divine figure who plays a crucial role in the cosmic order.

Many Gnostic texts draw parallels between Melchizedek and Christ, emphasizing their roles as eternal priests and saviors.

This connection highlights the Gnostic view of Melchizedek as a precursor to Jesus, sharing in the divine mission to redeem and enlighten humanity.

In some Gnostic cosmologies, Melchizedek is considered an aeon, a divine entity that exists within the pleroma, the fullness of the divine realm.

Melchizedek Tractate: In this Gnostic text, Melchizedek is portrayed as a priestly and prophetic figure.

Gnostic Interpretations: The text emphasizes Melchizedek's role as a revealer of divine mysteries, reflecting Gnostic themes of hidden knowledge and enlightenment.

Our Hidden Connections to Atlantis, Lemuria & Beyond

We study the gnostic teachings on what are commonly called the Polar, Hyperborean, Lemurian, and Atlantean Root Races -- but interwoven with teachings about the astral body, how matter and energy manifest into the cosmos, and much more.

This video aims to provide the gnostic teachings or direct experiences of those individuals who directly experienced the long lost civilizations and humanities of previous ages, primarily of Samael Aun Weor.

The video aims to provide Gnostic teachings on Atlantis, Lemuria, and earlier root races.

Gnostic

Yaldabaoth

The Nag Hammadi library, a collection of early Christian and Gnostic texts discovered in Egypt in 1945, contains several writings that describe Gnostic cosmology, theology, and mythology.

In Gnostic belief, Yaldabaoth is often depicted as an ignorant or malevolent creator god who is responsible for the material world.

The "First Ruler" in the Nag Hammadi texts specifically refers to this Demiurge figure, who is a central character in Gnostic narratives such as the "Apocryphon of John" and other related texts.

The text concludes by emphasizing the importance of direct experience through Gnostic practices, such as meditation, energy transmutation, and using mantras to awaken spiritual centers (chakras).

Our Predeluvian History

Father Seán ÓLaoire

Jesus a reincarnation of the Buddha?

Father Seán aspires to be what Carl Jung called a "gnostic intermediary"—someone well-versed in different spiritual traditions who can cross-fertilize them to mutual benefit.

Mesopotamian

The Holy Seven

Uanna (Adapa) from Mesopotamian mythology, Thales of Miletus from Ancient Greece, Kashyapa from Indian tradition, Confucius from Chinese philosophy, Abraham from Judaism, Vipassi Buddha from Buddhism, the Master of Masters from Celtic folklore, associated with the Sun, and Yaldabaoth from Gnostic tradition — each hold significant roles within their respective cultural and religious contexts.

Yaldabaoth in Gnostic texts is depicted as a creator god with great power and knowledge, though in a much more ambiguous moral framing.

Uannedugga, Solon of Athens, Atri, Mencius, Isaac, Sikhi Buddha, the Master of Hungary, along with their symbolic associations with the Moon, Yao (one of the Gnostic Archons), the element Silver, and the virtue Justice, represent another cohesive group of figures whose similarities reflect their profound impact on law, ethics, and societal governance within their respective cultures.

Sabaoth, one of the Gnostic archons, often depicted as a warrior figure, symbolizing power and authority.

Adonaios, in Gnostic tradition, often represents another face of divine attributes, potentially associated with governance and order, echoing the structured and ordered way in which these sages disseminate their knowledge and laws.

Eloaios, also known as Elohim in some Gnostic texts, is considered a manifestation of divine attributes, potentially reflecting virtues of wisdom and guardianship, aligning with the protective and guiding roles these figures play in their religious communities.

Oraios in Gnostic tradition represents another aspect of the divine, potentially embodying the ideals of enlightenment and spiritual insight, qualities that enhance the understanding of beauty and love in a cosmic sense.

Astaphanos, one of the Gnostic archons, can represent spiritual obstacles but also enlightenment, reflecting the dual nature of these figures who both challenge their followers and lead them toward greater spiritual or moral insight.

Abraxas

In Gnostic belief, Abraxas is described as a god with various attributes and was depicted on ancient amulets and gems, often with the head of a rooster, the body of a human, and snakes for legs, symbolizing the supreme being who encompasses both the divine and the demonic.

Archons

Astraphaios is, beyond doubt, the planet Venus, as there are gnostic gems with a female figure and the legend ASTAPHE, whose name is also used in magic spells as the name of a goddess.

Secret Book of John

Abel: Ruler of water and earth

In the Gnostic text known as the Secret Book of John, Elohim is another name for Abel, whose parents are Eve and Yaldabaoth.

Creator(s) of Adam

"Saklas" is a name often associated with Gnostic teachings, particularly within certain sects that describe the creation and structure of the universe in mythic terms.

In Gnostic cosmology, Saklas is sometimes identified as a creator or demiurge, a lesser god responsible for the material world.

In some Gnostic texts, Saklas is equated with the Old Testament God and is depicted as either ignorant or malevolent, or both.

This contrasts sharply with the benevolent, transcendent God (often called the true God or the Monad) of higher realms in Gnostic theology.

The name Saklas itself is sometimes translated as "fool" or "foolish," reflecting this entity's lack of true divine wisdom and understanding, according to Gnostic belief.

Apocalypse of Adam

Adam and Eve were created by the god Sakla out of the earth

In other Gnostic books, he is known as Samael or Yaldabaoth.

Elohim, The powerful ones

The holy trinities

Gnostic Sects: Certain Gnostic sects have interpreted the divine in a triadic form.

For example, some Gnostic traditions speak of the unknown Father, his emanation Mother Sophia (Wisdom), and the Demiurge as key figures in their cosmology.
