THE MATRIX (1999) offering a smattering of gnostic concepts and a lot of imagery versus DARK CITY (1998) conveying a comprehensive understanding of the Secret Book of John
THE MATRIX (1999) offered a smattering of gnostic concepts and a lot of gnostic imagery. It was a tremendous success.
DARK CITY (1998) is the movie rightly conveying well understood gnostic philosophy quite comprehensively and is practically unknown by most people.
Dark City is a quite faithful rendition of the essential understanding on reality coming from The Secret Book of John.
■■■ According to The Secret Book of John, THE COUNTERFEIT SPIRIT is the most efficient component made by the Archons because the natural human longings is RE-DIRECTED to the objects offered by the archontic system rather than to the Absolute Sovereign Good, The Monad, The One, Pure Infinite Awareness.
■■■ A truly fulfilled person stops buying the substitutes, from the coarse ones to the most sophisticated ones offered by the system.
■■■ Gnostic understanding DOESN’T claim that the World of everyday life is bad or is evil.
NOT AT ALL
Plenty of INFERIOR RELIGIONS, for example the Whore of Babylon (ALL the denominations of the Western Christian Church) — OPIUM FOR THE PEOPLE as Karl Marx (1818-1883) rightly diagnosed and believe me, I am very faaaaaaaar to be a Marxist but Marx sometimes got things right — offer that grotesquely simplistic representation with on stage the usual characters of a malevolent cunning Devil fighting a benevolent loving God having sent his *only Son to be sacrificed (Mysteries Cult precisely) as the redemption for the World and blindly believing in that soteriologic claim is the only way to be saved …
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA …
■■■ Gnosticism simply states THE DEEP HUMAN REALIZATION and THE PERSONAL ENCOMPASSING INSIGHT that the so-called ordinary World is bounded, is limited by an edge IT IS *A *CONSTRUCTION *OF *FINITE *EXTENT within SOMETHING MUCH LARGER and THE LARGER THING is what ACTUALLY WHERE THE HUMAN BEINGS ARE ORIGINALLY FROM, it is named the PLEROMA, a Greek word which means the FULLNESS.
MORE IMPORTANTLY, it is possible for everyone, for anyone earnest enough to go on a personal adventure of epistemological growth GUIDED BY THE RIGHT MEDITATIONAL ART for really, existentially discovering it by oneself.
■■■ The gnostic texts simply offer 3 FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN REALIZATIONS :
● A clear understanding of the Mind
● REMEMBER your aristocratic origin
● A clear plan for GOING HOME, meaning for existentially BEING A REAL ARISTOCRAT while living in Time (Space-Time-Energy-Matter)
■■■ The logion/saying 70 (on 114 sayings) from the Gospel of Thomas :
” That which you succeed to bring forth from within will save you. If you don’t bring forth what is from within, that will destroy you. “
● ” That which … from within … will save you ” The Timeless Universal High Forms of BEAUTY GOODNESS TRUTH are FROM WITHIN.
WHAT IS EXCELLENT (aretē/aristos/aristocratic) FROM WITHIN will save you.
● ” You succeed to BRING FORTH FROM WITHIN ” (EDUCARE/education) ” will save you. “
●●● The Gospel of Thomas (and the Gnostic texts) CRYSTAL CLEAR said : THE achieved ARISTOCRATIC EDUCATION WILL SAVE YOU.
What will save you is BRINGING FORTH FROM WITHIN (EDUCATION) what is excellent (aristocratic) *with *the *right *meditational *art for …
the Dynamically Aware Witnessing preseNce DAWN — DAWN is The MONAD, THE ONE, PURE INFINITE AWARENESS BLAZING IN TIME —…
… and DAWN is TRANSMUTING the Timeless Universal Perfect High Forms of BEAUTY GOODNESS TRUTH from WITHIN (from Timelessness) into Time (Space-Time-Energy-Matter) as respectively Justice, Valor & Temperance, Wisdom.
THE HIGH FORMS in Timelessness + DAWN by right meditational art GIVE The manifestation in Time of the Cardinal Virtues of Justice, Valor & Temperance, Wisdom.
