Hu: the Divine Will
...In the Egyptian system, Hu meant will. But the Arabic system associated Hu with Sa to the point that the Arabic word for Sa (Shay) came to mean will.
The Egyptians understood that two wills operated in woman and man. The "ordinary" will was symbolised as Heru (Horus) while the divine will was symbolised as Tehuti. It was the work of the initiate to bring the Heru (human) will into accord with the Hu (divine) will.
When the two wills were at odds, the result was (in Arabic) shaytaan. Shaytaan (Satan) actually means "two wills". (The word shayt means will and "aan" means two)...
Dzogchen
The Highest Yoga Tantra of the Tibetan tradition, and synonymous with Universal Gnosticism.
His Holiness the Dalai Lama said, "According to the Nyingma tradition, Dzogchen is the most profound of all the vehicles leading to enlightenment... but unless the practitioner has the capacity to understand the teachings properly, mistaken views can easily develop... Without a deep intellectual and experiential foundation...[it] can easily lead to confusion."
The same may be said of Gnosis.
Padmasambhava said, "[Dzogchen] is the secret, unexcelled cycle of the supreme vehicle [of Tantra], the true essence of the definitive meaning; the short path for attaining Buddhahood in one life."
Based in developing the powers of visualization in meditation, and rooted in the establishment of perfect control over attention, Dzogchen harnesses the nature of all experience through profound conscious transformation of all impressions, and is enforced and realized through the supreme methods of White Tantrism, or the perfect transformation of the vital energies.

Anyone with a lick of sense would be totally embarrassed sitting on your side of this debate, after making such ridiculous “Satan is NOT a proper name” claims.
LOL. I can hardly wait to see your next Hebrew lesson and how you spell the words backwards to decode things.
I do not believe you learned that at Seminary School.
Paul wrote these words in about 60 AD or so. If Paul’s “my gospel” was “kept secret for long ages past,” but NOW is manifested, how can you ever hope to prove the Hebrew Language is the ROOT of the gospel? Your statement is more NONSENSE. How do we know for certain?
What is the Hebrew term for “gospel?”
And yet, our resident scholar believes Hebrew is the ROOT (heh) of the Gospel.
Please forgive, but the farther you poke your chest out like a ‘know it all,’ the more you will be asked to suck it back in.

On some levels I feel that Gnostic teachings are the missing link in my truth seeking, yet some people insist that it is a lie.
I resonate with what you present, but I don't want to be tricked in the end times by something that seems so right. So much of the writings present what seems to be the root of all that I seek, yet I don't know.
Is it normal to feel this way?
Also is it true that the Tarot represents all root truths in symbolic form?
I read a book of his when I was a teenager and it changed my life, or my thinking for ever.
QueenAnnie >> Not for me - I prefer to make sure outside of doctrinal slants just what each word means.

Good day Queenie. I hope everything is peachy in QueenLand.
Please carry on with your Hebrew lessons as the members of the ATS Board are left to their own devices. I will not challenge you on anything, as the powers that be here can be responsible for anyone being led astray.
Good for you; and enjoy your time under the sun.

How can light be ‘stolen’ from God unless He wills it?
(which, I think, for the average soul, is to know its origin - some say God and there are other words - but our Creator is ONE)
The guiding light
In ancient times the stars would guide one on their journey. The Hebrew verb הלל (halal, Strong's #7725) is the shining light of these stars - For the stars of the heavens and their constellations will not give their light הלל (Isaiah 13:10). This same word is also translated as "praise" but Hebraicly means to "look toward another as a shining light." When the Psalms say, Praise Yah (halelu-Yah) (Psalm 135:3) it is literally saying "Look to Yah as the light that will guide you on your journey."

Yes - that's good - that's part of what I am trying to get across - even what some might condemn as some sort of malignant being - if that being is engendered from the being of the Almighty God, then what could it be, fundamentally, other than LOVE??
I also realize that I have a personal problem, a BIG ONE, with the use of the name 'Lucifer' itself....I just have to get this out, pardon me, everyone....
A catholic scribe named Jerome stuck this roman name in the Hebrew scriptures and it has no business in there!
No MORE LUCIFER!
Hebrew is a deep language - not just sounds to form words but ancient meanings that can be deciphered....Lucifer doesn't have anything to offer in that sense, and Heylel is rich with meaning!
Ixnay on the Uciferay, people!!!
k.
I feel better.
thanks....

Why call 'satan' at all?
An idea that is a far bigger and/or threatening concept to most other people concerned with Christ than it is for me.
And in the essential meaning of the word - opponent - most of the time YOU can satan 'annie,' Sun!!
I am your satan if you want me to be.
Remember Andrew Dice Clay's famous line?
Satan? Yeah, I f$^#%d him!

I think lucifer was just the loosing faction in a ancient war that involved mankind helping as pons to the "Angels." The victorious side got to write history and demonise the other. THere are arguments one can make that put satan in the favorable light and not "god" or the victorious side.
Maybe telling us that all satan wants to do is trick us into believing wrong is Gods way of preventing us from learning the truth. WHy would any parent want to deny knowledge to their children if only to maintaine leverage over them.
I have always had trouble connecting satan with evil. I see things that I can say were biased opinions of him/it but no cold hard facts, so the real lucifer is up to pure speculation. Lucifer could be like the oracle in the matrix movies and god the architect.
And translation is a very good point to bring up in this thread. I feel that there was massive un intentional or intentional miss transcription in the ancient holy works.
