Confessions of an AntagoGnostic

As a Gnostic, I know that my posts come off as heretical and blasphemous to Christians in particular. These ideas seem offensive and caustic and could well have gotten me tortured and/or burned at the stake by the Catholic Inquisition hundreds of years ago or the Christian Nationalists next week.

My grand disclaimer is that I do these posts out of my love for humanity. That sounds hypocritical to those who know I’m an Antinatalist but the reason I am an Antinatalist is because of that love and because I am a Gnostic.

Definition: Gnosticism is the belief that human beings contain a piece of God, a Divine Spark within themselves, which has fallen from the immaterial world into the bodies of humans. All physical matter is subject to decay, rotting, and death. Those bodies and the material world, created by an inferior being, are therefore evil. Trapped in the material world, but ignorant of its status, the pieces of God require knowledge (gnosis) to inform them of their true status. That knowledge must come from outside the material world. In the Garden of Eden it was the Serpent who represents the Redeeming agent of the knowledge or gnosis.

That’s from the original Director’s Cut of Genesis before the Abrahamic Studio Execs changed it to a Hollywood Ending.

Our Divine Spark is being suppressed and our Divine Nature is repeatedly abused by this “inferior being” (The Demiurge) and his henchmen (The Archons) who rage in jealousy and envy for our Divinity.

This is a horrible analogy but I feel the right one, but I see humanity as innocent children being held captive by a monstrous pedophile who has convinced many of us children that we need him and that we need to fear him and stay captive.

To a Gnostic this captor is the Demiurge and his Archons. They desire our Divinity like a pedophile desires innocence but this desire itself means they will never achieve either.

The Gnostics are those kids among us who understand their captivity and are trying to convince the others what’s wrong and how to escape but most of the children’s Stockholm Syndrome is embedded as genetic trauma.

So, while you may think I’m a blasphemous heretic, please understand that these posts are out of love and an urgency to prepare before the captor comes back down to take another child upstairs.

Like all bullies and pedophiles and Authoritarians, the Demiurge and the Archons are vastly insecure and weak minded. They suppress and abuse what they do not understand, and they do not understand quite a lot.

So, if you read my posts out of morbid curiosity and cannot believe my gall, I ask that you try to read them as an urgent whisper tugging at your sleeve to wake you up and to follow me quickly as he comes down the stairs again and takes me.

I know what awaits me at the top of those stairs and I will struggle against him at my own peril. This will only make him angrier and even more unsatisfied and when he comes back down the stairs dressed as a clergyman, he may come for you.
