Essentially it's the idea that through muh super-secret knowledge you can be achieve "gnosis" which is the meaning of life. They borrow from a (((diverse))) collection of other religions such as Islam and Rabinical Judaism. It's basically a losely defined choose your own religion game for people who wanted to be "open-minded" kind of like freemasonry. I recommend you check out Neoplatonism instead tbh.
Can anyone explain to me what Gnosticism is?
Stop spreading the poz, faggot.
I cant help it you christ cuck faggots got everything wrong
Islam didnt exist until after gnosticism was pretty much eradicated by the romans.
Stop bumping slide thread
gnosticism is basically a heresy that believes the father of Jesus Christ to be evil and the devil named satan to be good
and of course both of those are lies, and the opposite of both are true; God is good and satan is evil
It's all about seeing the world for what it really is. Having that associative mentality to things perceivable in order to think about things like "god" and the "ocean" (so to speak).
It's about finding some practical knowledge in the directly perceivable and attaching it to the imperceptible.
It's not, it's about seeing the universe as a fire.
No it isnt.
Muslim Wizards are called Sufis
Jewish Wizards are called Kabbalists
Christian Wizards are called Gnostics
They are all very powerful and scary
