Hidden Agenda - The Attack on Christianity, page 5

Let me just 'teach' you something about gnosis - cos i am definitely sure that you do not have full insight. Why do I think that?

Cos you are havelly on sex and perversions, homosexuality and misbehaviors of that nature, but read this carefully:

What are you talking about?

If you're implying that Gnosis is about sexual perversion, then you're reading too much from pseudo-gnostics like Aleister Crowley and Stephen Hoeller.

No real Sufi or Gnostic could be a queer...

...as only the Man and Woman can enter the Initiations of Major Mysteries: together.

And again; nobody has yet to, nor can they, offer anything written by any real Gnostic(or Platonist) which suggests that Gnosis...

...and homosexuality are compatible.

If so, then let's see it.

One world : THE LAW OF INVERSION ---------> you will find that law in western gnosis.....sufi call them 'malamathya'......Christian orthodox call them 'jurodiv'......> and now you do some searching....

You mean as is said in the West: Demon est Deus Inversus?

I've brought that up a few times in these forums; even in this very thread I believe.

What about it?

Anyway, I'm not going to sit here and argue to try to convince anybody of anything.

I am however aware of the tendency toward cynical-skeptical-materialism and Black-Lodge-teachings on this forum.

And the tendency for people to slander things that they don't understand.

Some of us here have exposed those who propagate such things...

So I would advise all who post and lurk here to be aware of them.

Thelema

Thelema (Greek) Willpower.

“Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will (Thelema), but thine, be done.” - Luke 22: 42

So (Father), "do what thou wilt (Thelema), shall be the whole of the Law." And what is the whole of the law?

”Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself (who is thy Father, thy true Self).” - Matthew 22: 37-39

On these two commandments hang the whole of the law and the prophets.

As we can see, this is contrary to the common understanding of Thelema.

And I'm obviously not perfect, so not all of my posts reflect the Will of the Father Within.

So if any of my posts seem harsh, it certainly is not due to any harmful intention.

However, as Samael Aun Weor taught: We must not be complacent with crime.

"The antinomian current in Gnostic Christianity came in two flavors, weak and strong.

The "weak" antinomian ideal held that since the flesh was just a temporary vehicle for the spirit, mature Christians could do whatever they pleased with their bodies. Biblical rules governing diet, behavior, dress, sex, etc., were restrictive and unnecessary distractions intended for the mundane herd, not the spiritual elite.

The "strong" antinomian ideal was embraced by those Christian groups we would today call "Short Path". Preaching depravity as a positive value, these urged believers to sin without restraint. Sex, fear and intoxicants were used to break down taboos and social conditioning, releasing tremendous amounts of magical energy while sanctifying the vilest deeds with a mysterious grace."

Beyond Good and Evil

Antinomian mystics have never been concerned with social status, physical comfort or moral redemption. Instead, their goal has always been the acquisition of divine power through mystical merger with the godhead.

What society calls evil is what violates boundaries and overflows without limit, blurring the categories between pure and impure, sacred and profane.

The antinomian heroine deliberately ignores these distinctions, performing acts that most people would see as dirty, disgusting or dangerous. Trespassing on divine territory, she frees herself from society's taboos, dissolving shame, fear and judgment as she opens herself up to the absolute.

With every forbidden act, the soul is enlarged and strengthened, made more able to receive and integrate the divine power unleashed thereby.
