Watching this just makes me wish that Graham will always lead a happy life and be protected from all evil. He's a great guy and we need more of his kind! ♥
Really? Because his dangerous naivety seems to me like it's going to get a lot of people killed. For just one example, acting like everyone in the world is exactly the same and it makes no difference, right after talking about the horrors of how the monotheisms are known to treat each other, sounds absolutely insane. Has there ever been a time since their inception that at least one of those faiths wasn't killing, torturing, enslaving or otherwise oppressing one of the others? People can argue about who is right or wrong in, for example, the conflict between Israel and Palestine. I for one just know that I don't want that conflict to spread into my neighborhood just because this Kumbya midwit thinks countries shouldn't exist and it's evil to discriminate. Humans might be more alike than different, and indeed that seems to be the case, but the differences there are are often fatal. Patriotism is only evil if it's imperialistic or hateful to others. What's more evil than patriotism is demanding my neighbors pay taxes for a public Healthcare service regardless of if they want to participate or not, and then refusing them the care they paid for their whole lives because you decided to prioritize someone else from far away that didn't. What's more, while I'm completely sympathetic to his position on the state, all evidence appears to suggest that you cannot not have one because organized crime will fill the power vacuum and become the state, and indeed is there a state anywhere that isn't just the most powerful local crime syndicate? What's worse, all the effective push these days to eliminate nations seems to be for the sole purpose of creating a one world government, and if you think your country sucks, it can only get worse if you concentrate power at a global scale which will be so far removed from the public that incompetence will do as much damage as malice, and those two are certainly likely to self reinforce each other as those arrogant enough to seize power will grow to hate the public for not simply accepting their grandiose naive narcissistic plans, and then grow even more ignorant as they refuse to listen to a public they despise. I notice all these things are already happening now, and yet he persists in the very delusions that are certain to make things worse.
Gnosticism makes a lot of sense to me. Especially now with iPhones and pornography seem to be great material distractions to keep humanity at the low level
Fabricated Responsibility to keep you occupied. Governments and corporations don't care about you. They care about votes and money, worse thing is they gang up on us.
@@davidmayberry3190 Let's not cherry-pick, though. Let's dig deeper for what the true problem is. I feel like It's not the materials by which we are given, that occupy our mindfulness which we should focus on, but the whole of human imagination and how it's used to manipulate us that is the issue. The guff, the ideologies, the molecules are just marketing tactics to keep us mindless about what's really happening around us.
You should look into the history of Weimar and the institute of sex research then. They basically moved west and continued their agenda, which is how we ended up where we are today. It is also, in part, one of the reasons for the rise of the 3rd Reich which sought to put an end to it.
The courage and bravery that Graham evokes, in order to share and impart extremely important history like this, will reverberate for ages a truth that will inevitably change our current paradigm! ❤
Never heard of Gnosticism until I experienced Gnosis Then I learned about the Gnostics and knew without out a doubt that my innerstanding was what they were trying to convey It’s complete empowerment and about saving oneself and GOD being an EXPERIENCE I only experienced gnosis by becoming the best version of myself and realizing church was in the mind and how I thought about others in silence was just as important about how i treated them in life Add a ton of self development , learning to live from the heart plus detaching from everything I WAS TOLD TO beLIEve.and I came into the perfect storm of transformation A complete shift in consciousness and realized The ALL is consciousness and damn near everything in this world is designed to keep us from these innerstandings So the notion that this is evil or anything other that liberation is beyond silly and ignorant to me 🙏 I Gno it’s what Yeshua was teaching too We are GOD And anything that has one thinking God is outside of them is the oppressor
Exactly … the fact that people think god has come to save them? No …. Everyone is responsible for their own work… save yoirself . God already done enough and gave you the opportunity to experience feel touch love etc etc
@@dizralph.cthe Abraham if faiths have all been changed, so many preservation problems with them all, genealogy problems etc. you have to be objective, open-minded. I’m raised Muslim but finally broke free from Abrahamic faiths
I have been a gnostic for a year now and it's like so refreshing! Its really the closet to truth as one can get in my opinion. But I also love Jesus Christ aswell and love his teachings.
Right on ive been for 5 years reading book of enoch the nag hammadi library book of giants apocryphal texts etc changed my life and open my mind completely
It seems to me that Jesus’s fundamental teachings are gnostic in nature. When Jesus talked about heaven being inside of each of us, that was the gnostic spark.
As a Christian that's interested in gnosticism, I don't think it is at all disturbing to the Christian message, since Christ himself said his kingdom is not of this world, and that the ruler of this world (The demiurge) will be judged "The prince of this world now stands condemned". In which the common interpretation is that satan is being referred to as the prince of this world.
so all these religions are devil worshiping religions; but they think they are prainsing the real God; so that explains why so much war and chaos comes from these religons
As if others have not caused any wars. Even by statistics, only 7% of war in recorded history occurs for religious reasons and this includes all religions including the ones that no longer exist.
@@tofeelornottofeel5446More people have been killed in the name of religion than anything. Crusades. The witch trials. You THINK there have been only 7% of war because of religion. Our entire existence is a war on consciousness. Keeping humanity in a low state to where they cannot think for themselves. We need a book and institutions to think for us. It’s much deeper than you think.
I dont get why so many people think gnosticism is evil. For me it stimulated a lot of thinking that helped me understand God better. Ive seen people say the boom of transgenderism is a gnostic idea but I just dont see it.
@@OwlKnight32 Have you read the texts and came to that conclusion or did someone tell you it was evil? I ask that because most people say it's evil based off it not being canon
Transgenderism is a materialistic movement enacted by the Demiurge to further trap humanity within materia. (Also a massive cope so the false goddess can pretend to be our "Lord")
I came along gnostics while searching for detailed info about Bogomils and I must said I fall in love with gnostics scriptures, belief and values. Thanks for this presentation🙏🏽 It feels like infinite truth spoken from far future.
@@astro_monist2559 I would love to give you one but it's so complex I wouldn't know where to begin. I would say look for common numbers in different religion text eventually you recognize patterns and find there spiritual meaning behind it. I recommend youtube channel Astral doorway his Kundilini series is a really good introduction IMO.
@@Matt-of2eq you can be a hindu gnostic, many people claim to be Christian gnostics, really all the main religions are one religion just told in different times and different cultures. Think of religion like a coin if you only study one you only see one side of the coin, pick up another you'll see the ridgid side of the coin, another you see theres another side and when you start to see it as a whole you can melt it down and see what its really made of.
@@weazie2daEZ oh I'm aware. I came to understand that these religions come from a common source, interpreted through the lens of the culture it exists. So I believe spending time with the gnostic codices will be clearer than pouring through the many, many holy books of Hinduism. I still see the principality under Hindu terms and deities, but now I understand way better. I'm going to expand because it may be relevant or interesting. I've had a few visionary psychedelic experiences. I was taken all the way to the top, outside of the 7th heaven and into what I interpreted as the Supreme godhead whom I recognized as Shiva at the time and became shaivite. Then I read the apocrypha of john and when the savior describes the nature of the universe and the heavens, it was like it was written directly from my memory. Then there are letters that appear as books, written so only truth can be discerned from reading that was described in the Sophia of the Christ. And on top of that I had a pretty clear show of wordly cosmology, the world of the demiurge. It seemed like knowledge but as I came out I caught a glimpse of the reflection of the holy spirit that told me everything I saw was false. It was very perplexing why I was shown all these things if they weren't real. And now I understand. We fight not with flesh and blood, but with powers and principalities. And it was exactly as the savior said, it was a thief in the night. It was as if dawn shown and I came to see the shadows and terrors had no substance because they had no root. It was life changing finding those books.
I agree with this. Coming from an abusive narcissistic ex, I see that this is a battle for our “spark” and a lot of people here do not have that spark, and will do anything to put yours out They were 💯 right about the pope!
Wow!! I apparantly have been a Gnositic and had no idea until today when I heard the word and was curious wha it meant. So, used this computer of Good and Evil to learn something I have been feeling all my life
I've been discussing Gnosticism with Christian family and friends lately. I've never heard the quote before bur I said the exact same thing about the "Devil's greatest trick was convincing people he was God". I'm really not trying to toot my own horn here. I'm just emphasizing it because I think it's vital information. If many of us are worshipping a false god then things will never change until that stops.
What is amazing about Graham , he is not pushing you to believe him , he just gives information and his opinion and you are free to make your own conclusions.
@@AncientTV Absolutely, he's a real teacher keeps it interesting. And on this topic, it is§radically different to mainstream religion;and explains alot of things that still parallel what people believe in mainstream religions. For example often Christian's state that Satan rules this world,this ties into gnosticism directly with the demiurge.
We don't need governments Graham suggests, ha, back in the good ol days my thesis for my manditory political science class was "all political system will fail until the bulk of humanity gets enlightened, I got a D-
@@Thumbdumpandthebumpchump because he’s not a Norse pagan, he’s a larping atheist. Norse paganism is about the worship of nature and one’s ancestors, gnostics scorn this world and their own flesh. Virtually polar opposites.
This was a superb watch. I'm not Gnostic, I know nothing, I only follow God and the divine intellect personally, but that might mean something else to anyone, but I respect everyone regardless. No one is right for anyone else. Everyone has a small part of the truth, but that small part is so powerful that it makes you feel like you have everything. That is the power of God in a man's mind. The divine intellect. That part I agree with. Everyone has a part of the truth. You fall away from everyone else, and no one comes together to fit the pieces in the right way for unity. They are too busy with a needlessly complex, material existence and an ego, a collective ego, that justifies an incomplete relationship with God. Everyone does it not by choice but by design of our limited existential reality and perceptions. We are all forced to fake it until we make it. Denial of this is basically lack of an integrated ego, I feel.
I agree with you, but aren't you interested in the origin of your religion. For example I once researched where amen came from since its a prayer that Christians and many more manifest with all the time. This could be referring to amenhotep, an Egyptian God or even worse, to baal aka baphomet, a spawn of chaos and according to the Bible a devilish diety. Baal is probably the same creature as moloch, you know, the giant statue at that weird celebrity gathering with rituals that has been filmed once of twice. I am only sharing this out of a love for knowledge and nothing else, if you think I'm manic you can fact check it with a couple searches, even Wikipedia connects some of these clues.
My God is the God of brotherly love and forgiveness. The things the Catholic Church did, has no basis in the teachings of Jesus Christ. Christianity was highjacked by evil men and twisted for their evil schemes. This is why translating the True Bible and literacy is/was so important. Can't make people murder each other for nothing, if they're well informed, intelligent, and have a good basis of morals.
I read a book 25 years ago called the gods of Eden he lightly touched on simulation Theory I've been trying to find a way out ever since. I called myself a Maverick not knowing I was actually a gnostic. Great work Graham as always
Anyone interested in Gnosticism I’ll recommend a VERY important and profound book. “Not In His Image” Author John Lamb Lash. A huge amount of information and a must read. Not an easy read but it’s pretty much where graham’s ideas come from. ✌🏼
So interesting through my personal journey (I never followed any of this in my life), I was actually two snakes that taught me about duality - one black and one white. And actually a black snake that led to my awakening - which I had no idea what was happening at the time lol I knew nothing of this symbology- but they actually manifest themselves this way. And there was nothing bad about any of it - quite the opposite healed my body became more aware, started to understand things, know things and access information of mechanics of things and had experiences at the time I could not explain what was happening. Including seven systems of control they called it, which keeps us in a limited perception. I agree with the gnostics view so far.
I grew up in an atheist family. My father used to be an evangelical christian until he took a class on early christian art in college, which de-converted him, before I was born. There have only really ever been two religions that have ever struck me as possibly being true, or at least holding some level of truth: Buddhism, and of course Gnosticism.
Look into Trent Horn and others. Don’t believe in lies about the Catholic church but come and see what we actually teach not from anyone else but the churches teachings itself. God bless
@swagmund_freud6669 Being inside the Vatican doesn’t mean you know anything about the church. I would recommend starting on the catechism. Also, if you really after the truth, then it shouldn’t matter what is appealing and unappealing. Also by the words you are typing out you seem quite hardened to the Church, pray to God for Him to open you up I used to be the same way i am in no way better, it’s about picking up your cross and walking with God.
@@hap1678 God doesn't exist. You tell me to pray, you tell me to act like a christian and I will suddenly 'get' Christianity, I have never seen evidence that prayer works, or that prayer is even any different from meditation. I have never felt any reason to worship the christian god. If the christian god exists, I, very much like the gnostics, would advocate for his abolition. You are preaching to yourself far more than you are preaching to me. So I tell you not to pray, but to seek the truth and knowledge of science and see that there is no need - dare I say no place - for a god to explain any of the structures of the universe. Anyways since I'm just messing around at this point, here's a little poem I wrote a few weeks ago: Woe be unto the Christian Who has made himself a slave To the dictator of the universe And love how he misbehaves They love as god torments them And carry out for him wicked deeds Who'd kill their first born son Like Abraham, if God said it would please Woe be unto the Christian Who worship a lord of flies The demiurge of all things sick And the real world of lies Woe be to the Christian who worship at god's feet And hope he shall be merciful to them If they march to God's demonic beat
How do you disempower an entire society…? Have them believe that the only way they can save themselves is through a saviour. Add to it that they are sinners and going to hell if they don’t bow to the saviour. Nothing could better cut us off at the knees more that using fear to control and create the greatest limiting belief in history; that we are powerless and have no ability or power within ourselves to save ourselves. If we collectively all realize that we are god and have unlimited potential. The kingdom of heaven is WITHIN YOU. Start believing in yourselves. 😉✨
The problem with Hancock's presentation is that he is saying just one gnostic cosmology, like if gnosticism is a religion per se when in fact is a retarded term for various groups that was seeking gnosis. The gnostic group he's talking about here is the Sethians who truly believes YHVH/Yaldabaoth is a demonic architec and not the real God. However, that isn't what every gnostic group believes. The Valentinians for example have a different grasp about the demiurge. So you can't make a presentation saying the gnostics believe in something and not specify what gnostic group you're refering to.
True, but how many sects are there of Christianity and Islam? Everyone cherry picks their talking points . It's up to figure out the knowledge laid before us and act accordingly to our convictions
@@flyingwombatazazz6736 when you go down the gnostic rabbit holes you find out why knowledge truly is a curse. it’s full of disgusting practices and beliefs. homunculus creations, teraphims, chimeras, philosophers stones, transmutation, etc.
Once you realize we are part of the greatest redemption story ever you will have peace. Not of man. But of the Demiurge. The All Father even loves this Fallen being.

I am in this state now.. I am a converted muslim but Religion feels not completely right for me.. when I was searching and thinking I found gnosticism..
Thank you for clearing up the Gnostic tree of life, “psychedelic mushroom”! Now I know what the Gnosticism fathers were on and how they came up with the iucked up fdeology of Gnosticism!
I don't know that we have any documents from that group that refer to themselves as Gnostics. I think that is just a name given by others to describe their doctrine.
There are several facets to Gnosticism and those who don't understand it or prefer not to education themselves about it, condemn it. There is even disagreement among Gnostic views. Like it or not, however, Gnosticism was the very beginnings of Christianity prior to any Roman based church. Gnostic scriptures were around long before the New Testament was even compiled. Aspects of Gnosticism actual appear within various books of the New Testament. Most of the Gnostic texts very much promote Christ as a savior or redeemer, but view his mission was to wake humanity up to their divine origins. Rather than taking the path of Irenaeus and ridiculing Gnosticism, read some of the scholarly books of Elaine Pagels or April DeConick. Cheers and be well!
Graham talks enthusiastically about communing with entities whilst on dmt. How does he know if they are good or evil spirits? He says he is frequently visited by one he calls 'the trickster'. The trickster told Graham 'you're ours now'. Graham laughed it off, replying :'only for 12 minutes ' he told the audience of his lecture. He STILL argues that we have much to learn from these entities. wtf is he up to? This lecture here makes him come across as quite reasonable. But....his entity obsession would suggest otherwise. Crowley also had an entity obsession. His one was called lam.
In my opinion I don't think Graham truly believes those entities are real in sense they are really part of our world not the other one. Because Graham doesn't see these entities all day(I hope) that's why he says "only for 12 minutes" and laughed it off like "In 12 minutes you will be gone Trickster bro, and I will stay". And about learning... I guess I could try to give "dip" answer (although I can't speak for him) but simple answer would be "we can learn not only on good things, but also on bad things. Learn not only who we WANT to be, but also learn who we DON'T want to be". Many and many lectures where Graham doesn't speaks about any entities at all. Crowley used I think really alot of different drugs and was "obsessed" by mysticism etc. different personalities. I hope my personal opinion was useful to you. Thank you for comment.
@@AncientTV Thanks for your answer. Crowley's mysticism falls in line with much of theosophy (as do the masons, of which crowley was a 33rd degree), as does Grahams (and pretty much all alt historians - Schoch, JAW, Buval, Chidress, Carlson, Dunn etc). Alice Bailey's publication was called Lucifer. Origin of Lucis Trust of course, spiritual representatives of the UN. yay.
@@AncientTV no problem - not many people seem to twig all this. I started my channel innocently - was into lost civs etc...but then I researched - I sniffed out things that didn't feel right...`I guess it's diff for everyone - we go down diff paths. My research got me to this. And put me right off lost civs etc....now I'm kind of realising I need to help other people to know this stuff...I think we've been duped.
there definitely must be a good reason why in the inverted world that promotes lies, Graham has been given so much exposure...and who's bestie is he? Joe Rogan's - nr.1 drug promoter. Not for no reason 💯 Millions are listening to that trickster and arriving at previously carved out conclusions.That will only lead people further in the deception. Graham and Rogan are both "false prophets" ..
How does Jesus fit into all this? Is he just a metaphor or an allegory for ourselves or was he a real person that existed with divinity? I think he showed us the real most high God.
And Agnostic is to admit that you don’t know. Being able to admit to myself that NO ONE can possibly know if there’s a God or Not. If there’s a Heaven or not? I consider myself somewhere between Agnostic and Nostic?🤷🏻♀️
Gnostic metaphysics is I believe vital to understanding anything about Gnosticism. The creator of all existence is the central flame of energy that radiates outwards from that centre into all realms. Each realm of existence, including our own has its own unique conscious energy particular to the beings that inhabit them. All beings within all realms are on a journey of growth towards God…..which is a never ending process of development, though it can be said that at a certain point in this evolution one can differentiate between a soul that is asleep and one that has awoken and thus become enlightened. This enlightenment is being aware of what is going on….you know why you are here and what you are to do with your life/lives. The demon god that created our world is us, our collective consciousness, not the creator. The demiurge refers to our collective as a god. This world is full of suffering and it is far from the flame, but there are sparks that ignite in souls living in this world from time to time. There are realms that are far worse…..they are hell realms. So the Catholics and protestants should not interpret gnostics as believing the creator God as evil, they view creation as good and all creatures as precious. I find this presentation to be deliberately divisive. Yes, the church has done evil and it continues to do so, so do those who call themselves gnostics. Evil is a part of who we are and a part of our world……and we need to grow out of it towards something more beautiful, something more intelligent, something better, but we can’t do that if we don’t first acknowledge its presence within us. This is the way that leads to the tree of life, when our minds see what they see when we open our eyes…..knowing good and evil.
Choosing between Roman Catholicism (as Graham Hancock calls the "literal side of Christianity") and Gnosticism (the "mystics") is a false dilemma. Notice he pits them against each other in a dualistic battle? Also, notice how he doesn't mention Eastern Orthodoxy at all?
All current Christians need to re-read the Old Testament for themselves, not listen to their pastors, and if they contain any remnant of the divine spark. They will see the truth. YHWE himself is the great dragon of revelation, and the false god of the Israelites in the old testament. He is absolutely horrid.
There was no group called "gnostics". We call them that because of the Greek term for knowing or seeking knowledge. It's the religion that rejects earthly materialism and believes we are falsely imprisoned in this cruel flesh. Why it's dangerous is because it's very anti-human to it's core
Oh shit, never mind Graham Hancock, this whole time all I had to do was listen to andrelindor1775. Man I owe you so much thank you for giving me clarity.
I have a friend who is a fundamentalist Christian. He tells me that if I don't accept Jesus Christ as my savior I will not be saved or liberated when I die or when he returns.. I do not believe this. I don't believe Christ really said this and that there were groups that edited his teachings. Can anyone here give me information or refer me to something that discusses this?
12th century Christianity is hardly early. It's 1100 years since Christ. Early Christianity is the 0-50 years after Christ's resurrection evidenced by the otherwise illogical things done by the apostles.
IMHO it's about definitions , although there is still debates what is actually "religion", many agree that important part of religion is social-cultural system , and 0-50 years after resurrection is too early to say it was completely formed social-cultural system of Christianity. But I may be wrong.
@@AncientTV Just want to preface with gratitude to you and Graham for posting this. I'm a fan of his work. Point taken, but I don't think I'm being nitpicky by not considering 1100 AD early Christianity. A 1000 years is at least 10 human lifetimes of tradition and development. Also the distance between 0 AD and 1100 AD is greater than between 1100 AD and 2022 AD. A broader issue I have with Graham's criticism of Christianity is that it is very Euro centric. There were many, many years of Christianity before it spread to Europe. The Middle East, Asia and Africa already had established Christian traditions and churches. And I am unaware that these cultures went about destroying other people's sacred artifacts. I think this is a rather European cultural attitude.
@@JasonMAdams-tl4xh Good point. But remember, history was manipulated during all human history and we don't know so so much about "old days" , we all can be easily very wrong about our view of history. I heard many unbelievable theories about our past even that all pre Roman empire history was made up. So I guess we should be always open minded about our past. Anyway thank you for your opinion and open mind. Cheers.
God, owns us he created us!! Therefor he could of ask Abraham what he wanted... he created us! When we die we will go to him and only him if we follow his laws as owner of this world and creator.
I don't agree that we must know both evil and good to grow. I would love to live in a world with out knowing evil and only knowing good. No sadness. only happiness, no sickness only health, no war only peace, no hate only love and no death just life etc ..
I wonder if one could know what good is not knowing what evil is..... I think there is not a world without evil, only a world without good and without evil
yep, would be interesting to read Vatican secret archives on this subject. It's very strange how all those crusades granted papal indulgences. Basically as I understand church position was "it's fine to kill people to grab a land from people we don't like"
So basically humans left to their own devices are subject to evolutionary psychology and as we see they naturally gravitate toward hierarchies because hierarchies tend to have the material means of survival. Fundamentally it boils down to two basic principles: *1.* 1 guy with a pointy stick < 5 guys with pointy sticks. *2.* 1,000 people with pointy sticks but are disorganized < 800 people with pointy sticks but are organized. There is a reason why all the prime real estate is taken by states. Even in the event that, say, a major government disappeared inexplicably tomorrow? All that would do is create a power vacuum and another foreign state would move in and call dibs on the prime real estate. Even in the event that, say, all the governments disappeared inexplicably tomorrow? All that would do is create world-wide power vacuum and bring in the rise of warlords who would then take, by force, the prime real estate--their rule would create the seeds of birthing states anew.
If a person in ignorance prays to “God”the father, does the Demiurge try to reply with deception, or does the real most high God intervene, and involve himself?
So if its true that the Creator is really evil. Then how do you go an evil Creator? How can the Creator even be evil if He created every good thing. Maybe I'm to ignorant on the subject but it doesnt make sense to mw
and thank God it doesn't make sense to you, because it is a false teaching. Please read the Bible for yourself and don't listen to other people's interpretations about what it supposedly says. Men like Graham and Peter.Son are wolves in sheep's clothing.
Not that the creator is “evil” but rather created without following the I guess “right” process therefore allowing that particular thing to come into being also .. (was it ignorance or whatever it was)
the point of a one world governing system is to eliminate loopholes with in the united nations when one invades one policy and is not subjuct to karmanatic law. Even without a governing system we lose out on a universal moral standerd
Jesus said that this world belongs to the devil. That's why the Church won. Jesus is not the Church.
Graham is a brave soul. I support him.
yes he is🤜
Watching this just makes me wish that Graham will always lead a happy life and be protected from all evil. He's a great guy and we need more of his kind! ♥
Really? Because his dangerous naivety seems to me like it's going to get a lot of people killed.
For just one example, acting like everyone in the world is exactly the same and it makes no difference, right after talking about the horrors of how the monotheisms are known to treat each other, sounds absolutely insane.
Has there ever been a time since their inception that at least one of those faiths wasn't killing, torturing, enslaving or otherwise oppressing one of the others?
People can argue about who is right or wrong in, for example, the conflict between Israel and Palestine. I for one just know that I don't want that conflict to spread into my neighborhood just because this Kumbya midwit thinks countries shouldn't exist and it's evil to discriminate. Humans might be more alike than different, and indeed that seems to be the case, but the differences there are are often fatal.
Patriotism is only evil if it's imperialistic or hateful to others. What's more evil than patriotism is demanding my neighbors pay taxes for a public Healthcare service regardless of if they want to participate or not, and then refusing them the care they paid for their whole lives because you decided to prioritize someone else from far away that didn't.
What's more, while I'm completely sympathetic to his position on the state, all evidence appears to suggest that you cannot not have one because organized crime will fill the power vacuum and become the state, and indeed is there a state anywhere that isn't just the most powerful local crime syndicate?
What's worse, all the effective push these days to eliminate nations seems to be for the sole purpose of creating a one world government, and if you think your country sucks, it can only get worse if you concentrate power at a global scale which will be so far removed from the public that incompetence will do as much damage as malice, and those two are certainly likely to self reinforce each other as those arrogant enough to seize power will grow to hate the public for not simply accepting their grandiose naive narcissistic plans, and then grow even more ignorant as they refuse to listen to a public they despise.
I notice all these things are already happening now, and yet he persists in the very delusions that are certain to make things worse.
Agreed...100%.

Gnosticism makes a lot of sense to me. Especially now with iPhones and pornography seem to be great material distractions to keep humanity at the low level

You should look into the history of Weimar and the institute of sex research then. They basically moved west and continued their agenda, which is how we ended up where we are today. It is also, in part, one of the reasons for the rise of the 3rd Reich which sought to put an end to it.
The courage and bravery that Graham evokes, in order to share and impart extremely important history like this, will reverberate for ages a truth that will inevitably change our current paradigm! ❤
Real brave in a modern liberal society to do an anti-Christian talk. I'd put Graham up there with the men who stormed the beaches of Normandy 🙄

Never heard of Gnosticism until I experienced Gnosis
Then I learned about the Gnostics and knew without out a doubt that my innerstanding was what they were trying to convey
It’s complete empowerment and about saving oneself and GOD being an EXPERIENCE
I only experienced gnosis by becoming the best version of myself and realizing church was in the mind and how I thought about others in silence was just as important about how i treated them in life
Add a ton of self development , learning to live from the heart plus detaching from everything I WAS TOLD TO beLIEve.and I came into the perfect storm of transformation
A complete shift in consciousness and realized The ALL is consciousness and damn near everything in this world is designed to keep us from these innerstandings
So the notion that this is evil or anything other that liberation is beyond silly and ignorant to me 🙏
I Gno it’s what Yeshua was teaching too
We are GOD
And anything that has one thinking God is outside of them is the oppressor
So you’re Mormon. That’s Mormonism 101.
new age deception
Exactly … the fact that people think god has come to save them? No …. Everyone is responsible for their own work… save yoirself . God already done enough and gave you the opportunity to experience feel touch love etc etc
Brilliant explanation. I had a similar experience.
@@dizralph.cthe Abraham if faiths have all been changed, so many preservation problems with them all, genealogy problems etc. you have to be objective, open-minded. I’m raised Muslim but finally broke free from Abrahamic faiths
I have been a gnostic for a year now and it's like so refreshing! Its really the closet to truth as one can get in my opinion. But I also love Jesus Christ aswell and love his teachings.
If you become Christian, Jesus actually lives inside you.
Right on ive been for 5 years reading book of enoch the nag hammadi library book of giants apocryphal texts etc changed my life and open my mind completely
@@emmajane646 wow that’s disgusting, christianity is disgusting
It seems to me that Jesus’s fundamental teachings are gnostic in nature. When Jesus talked about heaven being inside of each of us, that was the gnostic spark.
@@mikedowd66 i think gnostic is derived from bhagvad gita
I'm never disappointed with any of Graham Hancock's lectures.
Great to see your courage shining so bright, Graham🕊🍀❤ God bless you 🙏
As a Christian that's interested in gnosticism, I don't think it is at all disturbing to the Christian message, since Christ himself said his kingdom is not of this world, and that the ruler of this world (The demiurge) will be judged "The prince of this world now stands condemned". In which the common interpretation is that satan is being referred to as the prince of this world.
I think all this backs up Jesus and his mission 100%
Its like everything just suddenly made perfect sense to me.
This is the best message and video I've ever seen. I've been looking for this information all my life!!!!!!!!!!
so all these religions are devil worshiping religions; but they think they are prainsing the real God; so that explains why so much war and chaos comes from these religons
They love to cite biblical sayings like “know them by their fruit”, but somehow never catch the irony.
As if others have not caused any wars. Even by statistics, only 7% of war in recorded history occurs for religious reasons and this includes all religions including the ones that no longer exist.
Bingo!
@@tofeelornottofeel5446More people have been killed in the name of religion than anything. Crusades. The witch trials. You THINK there have been only 7% of war because of religion. Our entire existence is a war on consciousness. Keeping humanity in a low state to where they cannot think for themselves. We need a book and institutions to think for us. It’s much deeper than you think.
I dont get why so many people think gnosticism is evil. For me it stimulated a lot of thinking that helped me understand God better. Ive seen people say the boom of transgenderism is a gnostic idea but I just dont see it.
They paid to much attention to Barbelo
Read the Bible, and there's your answer. It's Blasphemy.
@@OwlKnight32 Have you read the texts and came to that conclusion or did someone tell you it was evil? I ask that because most people say it's evil based off it not being canon
@@cowel8734 it’s not the cannon because they couldn’t profit from or control us had it been
Transgenderism is a materialistic movement enacted by the Demiurge to further trap humanity within materia.
(Also a massive cope so the false goddess can pretend to be our "Lord")
I came along gnostics while searching for detailed info about Bogomils and I must said I fall in love with gnostics scriptures, belief and values. Thanks for this presentation🙏🏽 It feels like infinite truth spoken from far future.
i have been through every religious text i could get my hands on and it always leads me to gnostic
I would love a detailed explanation because I'm also drawn to gnosticism despite going through various spiritual stances.
I thought I was Hindu until I read the apocrypha of john and then I understood
@@astro_monist2559 I would love to give you one but it's so complex I wouldn't know where to begin. I would say look for common numbers in different religion text eventually you recognize patterns and find there spiritual meaning behind it. I recommend youtube channel Astral doorway his Kundilini series is a really good introduction IMO.
@@Matt-of2eq you can be a hindu gnostic, many people claim to be Christian gnostics, really all the main religions are one religion just told in different times and different cultures. Think of religion like a coin if you only study one you only see one side of the coin, pick up another you'll see the ridgid side of the coin, another you see theres another side and when you start to see it as a whole you can melt it down and see what its really made of.
@@weazie2daEZ oh I'm aware. I came to understand that these religions come from a common source, interpreted through the lens of the culture it exists. So I believe spending time with the gnostic codices will be clearer than pouring through the many, many holy books of Hinduism. I still see the principality under Hindu terms and deities, but now I understand way better.
I'm going to expand because it may be relevant or interesting. I've had a few visionary psychedelic experiences. I was taken all the way to the top, outside of the 7th heaven and into what I interpreted as the Supreme godhead whom I recognized as Shiva at the time and became shaivite. Then I read the apocrypha of john and when the savior describes the nature of the universe and the heavens, it was like it was written directly from my memory. Then there are letters that appear as books, written so only truth can be discerned from reading that was described in the Sophia of the Christ. And on top of that I had a pretty clear show of wordly cosmology, the world of the demiurge. It seemed like knowledge but as I came out I caught a glimpse of the reflection of the holy spirit that told me everything I saw was false. It was very perplexing why I was shown all these things if they weren't real. And now I understand.
We fight not with flesh and blood, but with powers and principalities. And it was exactly as the savior said, it was a thief in the night. It was as if dawn shown and I came to see the shadows and terrors had no substance because they had no root. It was life changing finding those books.
I agree with this. Coming from an abusive narcissistic ex, I see that this is a battle for our “spark” and a lot of people here do not have that spark, and will do anything to put yours out
They were 💯 right about the pope!
Suffering leads to wonder
!
Yes Billy Carson things about one-third of people are npc's with no spark
There is a strain of Gnosticism that teaches there are two types of humans. Those with the spark and those without. Those without are simply animals.
Jesus made the line of Popes, you disagree with his teachings?
@@gutlance4484Lol
Wow!! I apparantly have been a Gnositic and had no idea until today when I heard the word and was curious wha it meant. So, used this computer of Good and Evil to learn something I have been feeling all my life
I had the exact same epiphany
Being woke means being a gnostic, illuminati were gnostic. In 10 years it will be new way to call yourself woke and we'll all be gnostic
Right there with you!
Now you know why its been suppressed for all these years
I have been reading the gnostic gospels and honestly I can’t go back to the modern church, it’s too evil and corrupted by power, politics, and money.
This man have respect for every religion, great teaching
I've been discussing Gnosticism with Christian family and friends lately. I've never heard the quote before bur I said the exact same thing about the "Devil's greatest trick was convincing people he was God". I'm really not trying to toot my own horn here. I'm just emphasizing it because I think it's vital information. If many of us are worshipping a false god then things will never change until that stops.
graham hancock the light you received
BLinded you!
Well done for posting this lecture, Graham is a fantastic lecturer and i listened to him with keen interest since 2012.
What is amazing about Graham , he is not pushing you to believe him , he just gives information and his opinion and you are free to make your own conclusions.
@@AncientTV Absolutely, he's a real teacher keeps it interesting. And on this topic, it is§radically different to mainstream religion;and explains alot of things that still parallel what people believe in mainstream religions. For example often Christian's state that Satan rules this world,this ties into gnosticism directly with the demiurge.
We don't need governments Graham suggests, ha, back in the good ol days my thesis for my manditory political science class was "all political system will fail until the bulk of humanity gets enlightened, I got a D-
That was expected , any system protects itself until end =)
As a Norse Pagan I 100% agree with every fucking word he said!!!!!
How? Norse paganism durectky contradicts gnosticism. They're incompatible.
@@Thumbdumpandthebumpchump because he’s not a Norse pagan, he’s a larping atheist. Norse paganism is about the worship of nature and one’s ancestors, gnostics scorn this world and their own flesh. Virtually polar opposites.

Changed my Life
This was a superb watch. I'm not Gnostic, I know nothing, I only follow God and the divine intellect personally, but that might mean something else to anyone, but I respect everyone regardless. No one is right for anyone else. Everyone has a small part of the truth, but that small part is so powerful that it makes you feel like you have everything. That is the power of God in a man's mind. The divine intellect. That part I agree with. Everyone has a part of the truth. You fall away from everyone else, and no one comes together to fit the pieces in the right way for unity. They are too busy with a needlessly complex, material existence and an ego, a collective ego, that justifies an incomplete relationship with God. Everyone does it not by choice but by design of our limited existential reality and perceptions. We are all forced to fake it until we make it. Denial of this is basically lack of an integrated ego, I feel.
I agree with you, but aren't you interested in the origin of your religion. For example I once researched where amen came from since its a prayer that Christians and many more manifest with all the time. This could be referring to amenhotep, an Egyptian God or even worse, to baal aka baphomet, a spawn of chaos and according to the Bible a devilish diety. Baal is probably the same creature as moloch, you know, the giant statue at that weird celebrity gathering with rituals that has been filmed once of twice. I am only sharing this out of a love for knowledge and nothing else, if you think I'm manic you can fact check it with a couple searches, even Wikipedia connects some of these clues.
I think you might be missing the point. And if you don’t see it I can not show it to you.
Thank you
My God is the God of brotherly love and forgiveness. The things the Catholic Church did, has no basis in the teachings of Jesus Christ. Christianity was highjacked by evil men and twisted for their evil schemes. This is why translating the True Bible and literacy is/was so important. Can't make people murder each other for nothing, if they're well informed, intelligent, and have a good basis of morals.
I read a book 25 years ago called the gods of Eden he lightly touched on simulation Theory I've been trying to find a way out ever since. I called myself a Maverick not knowing I was actually a gnostic. Great work Graham as always
❤ thank you brother I’ve had these feelings in my head for ever.
always interesting to hear Graham Hancock speak. Very Knowledgable, well presented... Even if it does step on the toes of Evil; Divisive Christianity
Right on. The major issue in the world today.
Anyone interested in Gnosticism I’ll recommend a VERY important and profound book. “Not In His Image” Author John Lamb Lash. A huge amount of information and a must read. Not an easy read but it’s pretty much where graham’s ideas come from. ✌🏼
So interesting through my personal journey (I never followed any of this in my life), I was actually two snakes that taught me about duality - one black and one white. And actually a black snake that led to my awakening - which I had no idea what was happening at the time lol I knew nothing of this symbology- but they actually manifest themselves this way.
And there was nothing bad about any of it - quite the opposite healed my body became more aware, started to understand things, know things and access information of mechanics of things and had experiences at the time I could not explain what was happening. Including seven systems of control they called it, which keeps us in a limited perception.
I agree with the gnostics view so far.
I grew up in an atheist family. My father used to be an evangelical christian until he took a class on early christian art in college, which de-converted him, before I was born. There have only really ever been two religions that have ever struck me as possibly being true, or at least holding some level of truth: Buddhism, and of course Gnosticism.
Look into Trent Horn and others. Don’t believe in lies about the Catholic church but come and see what we actually teach not from anyone else but the churches teachings itself. God bless
@@hap1678 Bro I've been inside the goddamn Vatican, I am well familiar with the 'true' catholic church. I find it unappealing.
@swagmund_freud6669 Being inside the Vatican doesn’t mean you know anything about the church. I would recommend starting on the catechism. Also, if you really after the truth, then it shouldn’t matter what is appealing and unappealing. Also by the words you are typing out you seem quite hardened to the Church, pray to God for Him to open you up I used to be the same way i am in no way better, it’s about picking up your cross and walking with God.
@@hap1678 God doesn't exist. You tell me to pray, you tell me to act like a christian and I will suddenly 'get' Christianity, I have never seen evidence that prayer works, or that prayer is even any different from meditation. I have never felt any reason to worship the christian god. If the christian god exists, I, very much like the gnostics, would advocate for his abolition. You are preaching to yourself far more than you are preaching to me.
So I tell you not to pray, but to seek the truth and knowledge of science and see that there is no need - dare I say no place - for a god to explain any of the structures of the universe.
Anyways since I'm just messing around at this point, here's a little poem I wrote a few weeks ago:
Woe be unto the Christian
Who has made himself a slave
To the dictator of the universe
And love how he misbehaves
They love as god torments them
And carry out for him wicked deeds
Who'd kill their first born son
Like Abraham, if God said it would please
Woe be unto the Christian
Who worship a lord of flies
The demiurge of all things sick
And the real world of lies
Woe be to the Christian
who worship at god's feet
And hope he shall be merciful to them
If they march to God's demonic beat
LOL I would love to hear how you think Buddha is true but Jesus Christ is not
Thank God for all the teachers, historians, and archaeologists who preserved Gnosticism. Christ is Lord.
Much Love Brother Graham Hancock.
Resonates perfectly with my experience too.
Be Well
Hi to the family.
The SCRIBE
How do you disempower an entire society…? Have them believe that the only way they can save themselves is through a saviour. Add to it that they are sinners and going to hell if they don’t bow to the saviour. Nothing could better cut us off at the knees more that using fear to control and create the greatest limiting belief in history; that we are powerless and have no ability or power within ourselves to save ourselves. If we collectively all realize that we are god and have unlimited potential. The kingdom of heaven is WITHIN YOU. Start believing in yourselves. 😉✨
Clarification:
We are NOT God...but we do have God within us...His spark.
There is a difference.
this is basic orthodox christianity
Woah, this is a great lecture. Great how it makes ties with today's political scene.
Gnosticism is very interesting and very very true!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Right on. Nice work.
The problem with Hancock's presentation is that he is saying just one gnostic cosmology, like if gnosticism is a religion per se when in fact is a retarded term for various groups that was seeking gnosis. The gnostic group he's talking about here is the Sethians who truly believes YHVH/Yaldabaoth is a demonic architec and not the real God. However, that isn't what every gnostic group believes. The Valentinians for example have a different grasp about the demiurge. So you can't make a presentation saying the gnostics believe in something and not specify what gnostic group you're refering to.
That's a very good point...there is usually various "factions" within every large "body" of thought or belief.
True, but how many sects are there of Christianity and Islam? Everyone cherry picks their talking points . It's up to figure out the knowledge laid before us and act accordingly to our convictions
@@flyingwombatazazz6736 when you go down the gnostic rabbit holes you find out why knowledge truly is a curse. it’s full of disgusting practices and beliefs. homunculus creations, teraphims, chimeras, philosophers stones, transmutation, etc.

Thank you for clearing up the Gnostic tree of life, “psychedelic mushroom”!
Now I know what the Gnosticism fathers were on and how they came up with the iucked up fdeology of Gnosticism!
I don't know that we have any documents from that group that refer to themselves as Gnostics. I think that is just a name given by others to describe their doctrine.

Interesting. He actually sounds like a Gnostic. Like me, with the exception that I am not an Anarchist.
Right on brother! Shalom Aleichem! 👆🏻
There are several facets to Gnosticism and those who don't understand it or prefer not to education themselves about it, condemn it. There is even disagreement among Gnostic views. Like it or not, however, Gnosticism was the very beginnings of Christianity prior to any Roman based church. Gnostic scriptures were around long before the New Testament was even compiled. Aspects of Gnosticism actual appear within various books of the New Testament. Most of the Gnostic texts very much promote Christ as a savior or redeemer, but view his mission was to wake humanity up to their divine origins. Rather than taking the path of Irenaeus and ridiculing Gnosticism, read some of the scholarly books of Elaine Pagels or April DeConick. Cheers and be well!
Patriotism doesn't arise from the land one lives on, it's a pride in the values that the people of said land live.
Graham talks enthusiastically about communing with entities whilst on dmt. How does he know if they are good or evil spirits? He says he is frequently visited by one he calls 'the trickster'. The trickster told Graham 'you're ours now'. Graham laughed it off, replying :'only for 12 minutes ' he told the audience of his lecture. He STILL argues that we have much to learn from these entities. wtf is he up to? This lecture here makes him come across as quite reasonable. But....his entity obsession would suggest otherwise. Crowley also had an entity obsession. His one was called lam.
In my opinion I don't think Graham truly believes those entities are real in sense they are really part of our world not the other one. Because Graham doesn't see these entities all day(I hope) that's why he says "only for 12 minutes" and laughed it off like "In 12 minutes you will be gone Trickster bro, and I will stay". And about learning... I guess I could try to give "dip" answer (although I can't speak for him) but simple answer would be "we can learn not only on good things, but also on bad things. Learn not only who we WANT to be, but also learn who we DON'T want to be". Many and many lectures where Graham doesn't speaks about any entities at all. Crowley used I think really alot of different drugs and was "obsessed" by mysticism etc. different personalities. I hope my personal opinion was useful to you. Thank you for comment.
@@AncientTV Thanks for your answer. Crowley's mysticism falls in line with much of theosophy (as do the masons, of which crowley was a 33rd degree), as does Grahams (and pretty much all alt historians - Schoch, JAW, Buval, Chidress, Carlson, Dunn etc). Alice Bailey's publication was called Lucifer. Origin of Lucis Trust of course, spiritual representatives of the UN. yay.
@@HistoryMaze wow! didn't know that ,thanks for info, I hope I will be one step closer now to understanding at least something in this world🙂
@@AncientTV no problem - not many people seem to twig all this. I started my channel innocently - was into lost civs etc...but then I researched - I sniffed out things that didn't feel right...`I guess it's diff for everyone - we go down diff paths. My research got me to this. And put me right off lost civs etc....now I'm kind of realising I need to help other people to know this stuff...I think we've been duped.
there definitely must be a good reason why in the inverted world that promotes lies, Graham has been given so much exposure...and who's bestie is he? Joe Rogan's - nr.1 drug promoter. Not for no reason 💯 Millions are listening to that trickster and arriving at previously carved out conclusions.That will only lead people further in the deception. Graham and Rogan are both "false prophets" ..
How does Jesus fit into all this? Is he just a metaphor or an allegory for ourselves or was he a real person that existed with divinity? I think he showed us the real most high God.
This guy is a true G... Graham I got your back
Great respect to Graham for his search of truth.
I wonder what a conversation beween Graham Hancock and Issac Asimov would have been like.
And Agnostic is to admit that you don’t know. Being able to admit to myself that NO ONE can possibly know if there’s a God or Not. If there’s a Heaven or not? I consider myself somewhere between Agnostic and Nostic?🤷🏻♀️
No such thing as "Nostic". Gnosis is the ultimate path of all humans, yet there are many ways to walk that path...
Intelligent design begs ….
I once heard it said “patriotism is like racism but with places instead of faces”
Interesting take on what he’s saying
The god in the garden of eden curses mankind. Its there from the start. Its a fallen world. The truth has been distorted.
Gnostic metaphysics is I believe vital to understanding anything about Gnosticism.
The creator of all existence is the central flame of energy that radiates outwards from that centre into all realms.
Each realm of existence, including our own has its own unique conscious energy particular to the beings that inhabit them.
All beings within all realms are on a journey of growth towards God…..which is a never ending process of development, though it can be said that at a certain point in this evolution one can differentiate between a soul that is asleep and one that has awoken and thus become enlightened. This enlightenment is being aware of what is going on….you know why you are here and what you are to do with your life/lives.
The demon god that created our world is us, our collective consciousness, not the creator. The demiurge refers to our collective as a god. This world is full of suffering and it is far from the flame, but there are sparks that ignite in souls living in this world from time to time. There are realms that are far worse…..they are hell realms.
So the Catholics and protestants should not interpret gnostics as believing the creator God as evil, they view creation as good and all creatures as precious.
I find this presentation to be deliberately divisive. Yes, the church has done evil and it continues to do so, so do those who call themselves gnostics. Evil is a part of who we are and a part of our world……and we need to grow out of it towards something more beautiful, something more intelligent, something better, but we can’t do that if we don’t first acknowledge its presence within us. This is the way that leads to the tree of life, when our minds see what they see when we open our eyes…..knowing good and evil.
What an evolved, brave and compassionate man.
Very informational on Gnosticism, but you need a Democratic state to prevent an authoritarian state.

Choosing between Roman Catholicism (as Graham Hancock calls the "literal side of Christianity") and Gnosticism (the "mystics") is a false dilemma. Notice he pits them against each other in a dualistic battle? Also, notice how he doesn't mention Eastern Orthodoxy at all?
Where is the full talk please
If anyone is interested in what he said about no gov. Check out the book The Most Dangerous Superstition by Larken Rose.
BRAVO
All current Christians need to re-read the Old Testament for themselves, not listen to their pastors, and if they contain any remnant of the divine spark. They will see the truth. YHWE himself is the great dragon of revelation, and the false god of the Israelites in the old testament. He is absolutely horrid.
There was no group called "gnostics". We call them that because of the Greek term for knowing or seeking knowledge. It's the religion that rejects earthly materialism and believes we are falsely imprisoned in this cruel flesh. Why it's dangerous is because it's very anti-human to it's core
Oh shit, never mind Graham Hancock, this whole time all I had to do was listen to andrelindor1775. Man I owe you so much thank you for giving me clarity.
I have a friend who is a fundamentalist Christian. He tells me that if I don't accept Jesus Christ as my savior I will not be saved or liberated when I die or when he returns.. I do not believe this. I don't believe Christ really said this and that there were groups that edited his teachings. Can anyone here give me information or refer me to something that discusses this?
12th century Christianity is hardly early. It's 1100 years since Christ. Early Christianity is the 0-50 years after Christ's resurrection evidenced by the otherwise illogical things done by the apostles.
IMHO it's about definitions , although there is still debates what is actually "religion", many agree that important part of religion is social-cultural system , and 0-50 years after resurrection is too early to say it was completely formed social-cultural system of Christianity. But I may be wrong.
@@AncientTV Just want to preface with gratitude to you and Graham for posting this. I'm a fan of his work.
Point taken, but I don't think I'm being nitpicky by not considering 1100 AD early Christianity. A 1000 years is at least 10 human lifetimes of tradition and development. Also the distance between 0 AD and 1100 AD is greater than between 1100 AD and 2022 AD. A broader issue I have with Graham's criticism of Christianity is that it is very Euro centric. There were many, many years of Christianity before it spread to Europe. The Middle East, Asia and Africa already had established Christian traditions and churches. And I am unaware that these cultures went about destroying other people's sacred artifacts. I think this is a rather European cultural attitude.
@@JasonMAdams-tl4xh Good point. But remember, history was manipulated during all human history and we don't know so so much about "old days" , we all can be easily very wrong about our view of history. I heard many unbelievable theories about our past even that all pre Roman empire history was made up. So I guess we should be always open minded about our past. Anyway thank you for your opinion and open mind. Cheers.
Gnosticism makes more sense than Orthodox Christianity.
Orthodox mentions Theosis (same thing) a lot.

God, owns us he created us!! Therefor he could of ask Abraham what he wanted... he created us! When we die we will go to him and only him if we follow his laws as owner of this world and creator.

I don't agree that we must know both evil and good to grow. I would love to live in a world with out knowing evil and only knowing good. No sadness. only happiness, no sickness only health, no war only peace, no hate only love and no death just life etc ..
That would be great .. but this realm we live in has duality and for the mentioned things you desired to exist the polar opposite has to exist …
We all would love that but that just isn’t this reality. If we don’t know evil and good how could we possibly have free will?
I wonder if one could know what good is not knowing what evil is..... I think there is not a world without evil, only a world without good and without evil
A man with a brain is so attractive
so weird how a crusade was organized against a peaceful people. makes you think the Cathars were unto something.
yep, would be interesting to read Vatican secret archives on this subject. It's very strange how all those crusades granted papal indulgences. Basically as I understand church position was "it's fine to kill people to grab a land from people we don't like"
So basically humans left to their own devices are subject to evolutionary psychology and as we see they naturally gravitate toward hierarchies because hierarchies tend to have the material means of survival.
Fundamentally it boils down to two basic principles:
*1.* 1 guy with a pointy stick < 5 guys with pointy sticks.
*2.* 1,000 people with pointy sticks but are disorganized < 800 people with pointy sticks but are organized.
There is a reason why all the prime real estate is taken by states.
Even in the event that, say, a major government disappeared inexplicably tomorrow? All that would do is create a power vacuum and another foreign state would move in and call dibs on the prime real estate. Even in the event that, say, all the governments disappeared inexplicably tomorrow? All that would do is create world-wide power vacuum and bring in the rise of warlords who would then take, by force, the prime real estate--their rule would create the seeds of birthing states anew.
If a person in ignorance prays to “God”the father, does the Demiurge try to reply with deception, or does the real most high God intervene, and involve himself?

hey there. thank you for sharing this. is there a link to the full lecture? thank you
should be somewhere, I will post link if will find it, so far can't find it myself =)
So if its true that the Creator is really evil. Then how do you go an evil Creator?
How can the Creator even be evil if He created every good thing.
Maybe I'm to ignorant on the subject but it doesnt make sense to mw
and thank God it doesn't make sense to you, because it is a false teaching. Please read the Bible for yourself and don't listen to other people's interpretations about what it supposedly says. Men like Graham and Peter.Son are wolves in sheep's clothing.
Not that the creator is “evil” but rather created without following the I guess “right” process therefore allowing that particular thing to come into being also .. (was it ignorance or whatever it was)
I think the Gnostic point is that the Demiurge created a facade over the realness to entrap us here.
the point of a one world governing system is to eliminate loopholes with in the united nations when one invades one policy and is not subjuct to karmanatic law. Even without a governing system we lose out on a universal moral standerd
