limbo seems comfy. just chill in a nice forest with some of the greates figures in history. none of that faggoty singing god's praises in heaven forever shit

It's another "a distressed /x/ posts on /lit/ and /lit/ just lets it happen for some reason" thread. An odd and amusing occurrence.

Any gnostics here? Why doesn't Bruno discuss the demiurge, /x/? I thought he had a very modern take on Christianity. Don't tell me that was a ruse to disguise his love for hating the demiurge.

>>13470723
the demiurge is not evil. the weak always look up to the powerful and think they are evil. stop having a slave mentality

>>13470759
What is evil, then?

>>13470828
ignorance, which is a lack of knowledge. a lack is nothing. so evil doesn't exist.

>>13470833
So we are all perfect, then?

>>13470844
the All is perfect, and nothing exists but the All

>>13470850
Satanic

Wow ken wheeler? You should check out 'michael topper'

>>13470850
Mmm. If I read more philosophy, I'd be ready for this.

Are you describing Hermeticism?

>>13470923
Check out 'michael topper'

>>13470923
yes, hermeticism and neoplatonism. no idea what this anon >>13470969 is talking about

>>13470978
https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/archivos_pdf/magnum-organum.pdf your attention span is too poor to read this

>>13470992
im currently in the middle of three books, and there are many others i have queued up. what is this and why should i give it my time?

>>13471028
Behold the Magickal Midway, with ALL its charming sideshows.
Herein at last is the Magnum Organum - not the ancient instrument of Perception or the modem organ of Knowledge, but the Perennial Wisdom newly Minted and Dispensed. What's "new" about the Gnosis, MT? we hear some sigh already.

>he doesn't know what evil is
>makes occultism thread anyway

>>13470833
wasnt the snake in the garden providing knowledge on behalf of the true divines against the wishes of the demiurge?

>>13471063
>Evil is the absence of the good
>God is omniscience

:^)

>>13471094
it’s a symbolic myth, not a factual event. the tendency of manifestation is downward. the ascending path to knowledge requires cunning and determination

>>13471095
>mistaking the quality of omniscience for omniscience itself
>mistaking mankind's understanding for God's omniscience
There is only one metaphysics you should concern yourself with. It involves study and prayer.

>>13471114
>mistaking the quality of omniscience for omniscience itself

actually meaningless to say this, if you admit god is not 'everything' then you admit that there is a realm in which he does not have power over, either by choice or by involuntary exclusion. either god contains evil or he is not god in your own defintion.

>>13471138
Did you read what I posted from Aquinas?

Are you really so incapable of thinking?

>>13471200
ad hominem, answer the argument or its your self admitted defeat

>>13471232
No. I'd rather let you think you "won" and are smart than cast pearls before swine. You're not ready for this truth, evidently. Read the passage again, very slowly, and maybe you'll pick up that what you said in 13471138 is not only incorrect but enitrely wrongheaded.

>>13471200
>Are you really so incapable of thinking?
Obviously.

>>13470833
>>13471063
So both the theist and the gnostic arrive at the same conclusion: evil is a ruse. One giant misunderstanding that could kill us all if only we could hug it out.

Is existence merely a fomenting sea of atoms to you? If so, why be bothered by yet another revolution?

>>13470992
this looks interesting, can you give me an overview of where this guy is coming from?

>>13471325
>Is existence merely a fomenting sea of atoms to you?
no, it’s the glorious manifestation of gods power. everything from the beauty of a snow peaked mountain range to the terrible awe of a plague that devours flesh and snuffs out millions of lives with pitiless indifference. god’s power is awesome and beyond human comprehension or petty moral categories. only one with the mentality of a slave condemns that which is immeasurably superior to him

>>13470992
>Here then is how the ultimate, taken-for-granted impression of "the world" is formed:
out of a cosmic potential of focal patterns featuring variable ratios-of-alignment in the processing interaction of multidimensional psychic systems, the collective requirement of self-conscious beings finds affinity with a particular consensual order and enforces the typology of that order through the mutual support of "telling its story",

>>13471340
This. I am a worm.

>>13471325
No, evil is not a ruse. Evil is real, and it necessarily comes from created beings, who are necessarily good (but not perfect). It's like y'all can't read English.

>>13471340
Ah, the theist and gnostic also agree that every injustice is due to the victim possessing a slave mentality. There are no crimes, simply the consequences of our collective ignorance. You cannot blame a cause for simply being over a mass grave. Being is good wherever it lies, however it lies.

Again, why be bothered by yet another revolution? History is filled with them. It's how we correct ourselves. How we attain equilibrium.
And we are reaching our global limitations. Good or evil, change will happen.

>>13471361
I admit, it is comforting to dismiss my uglier sides with such a charming tautology.
