A secret
    #5498349 - 04/09/06 10:52 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

A couple weeks ago, I went to a lecture/worship service put on by Tau Malachi, a gnostic priest.  After the service was over, everyone hung out and talked.  I had a little conversation with him.  I mentioned that I was reading a book of his(Gnosis of the Cosmic Christ), and talked about the secret knowledge of gnosis(this is actually redundant, since gnosis literally means "knowledge").  He said, "You know what makes something a secret?  It's not something that's hidden.  It's something that's so obvious that we're normally oblivious to it."

I proceeded to talk about how Gnosticism teaches that we can all be Christs of our own.  He said I should be careful who I say that to.  I said, "Ya, I know.  It's a secret." :wink:

Which state is your Gnostic Church located in, if you don't mind me asking? I know about Rev. Hoeller's church in L.A. and one in Utah [?] I think.

Well, the church itself was actually a Unitarian Universalist church that this group rents out once a month. But anyway, it's in California.

Read a bit of his stuff at Sophian Fellowship.

And I concur, gnosis is very obvious when experienced. So obvious, I don't understand how some people don't see it when tripping. It's easy too, because the treasure is hidden within ourselves, in our inner world. The inner life simply has to illuminate, and for some reason LSD does this almost mechanically.

It's nice to see you on the path, I might say. The Shroomery is turning into quite the gathering of pneumatics (or 'mystic heads' as some will call us :smirk: ).

Peace/Shalom/Salaam

It seems obvious this 'gnostic' is truly either a Primus Illuminatus or a very respectable Legionnaire in the Legion of Dynamic Discord.

That's awesome hahaha!

I must look into this gnosticism stuff...might learn a thing or two there. I've always felt that I had to "be carefull" around certain people in dealing with my/our own true divinity.

Not just everyone can accept they are God in and of themselves...lol, it truly IS right in front of our eyes, and yet because of the violent rejection it can provoke--it remains a "secret"...haha I like this...I really do!
