>>14723388
Not gnostic stuff. Unless you’re 500 years in the past. Netsec, darknet, JQ blogging, pol.dissident social activism etc.

Let this serve as a warning. I am now a pariah in my neighborhood because I bought what I *thought* was a very thoughtful gift for my next-door neighbor who just had a baby. Well, as it turns out, when I first saw the baby in his stroller he was squinting because the sun was in his eyes. He was not, as I had assumed, "differently-abled." So not only will the neighbor lady not speak with me, I can't walk anywhere in the entire subdivision without people turning around and heading straight back into their houses. Plus, it appears that dog feces is being left at my front door at least 3 or 4 times daily. If you decide to purchase this book as a gift, make sure that you do your homework beforehand.

You should learn Coptic

i cannot believe how gnosticism has become such a meme
i suppose you guys are drinking cum and eating fetuses
not judging if you are

>>14729029
Copenhaver is best for Hermetica in English although if you can read Greek and Latin the Scott has the original texts. I like Barnstone for the Gnostic Bible -- has more than just the Nag Hamaddi texts too.

>>14729235
That's propaganda. Most gnostics are just chill perennialist christians. I can't believe the catholic church hoardes money like a dragon and defends pedophiles...

Liber Novus by Carl Jung is the neo-gnostic gospel of the coming post-christianity...

>>14729264
There is no salvation outside the church. Perrenalist Christian is an oxymoron, much like Gnosticism itself

The book literally advocates that you go to (physical) war with the decadent society we live in. It’s basically SIEGE.

>>14731062
Ghandi says it's about the inner battle.

>>14729270
Evola, Guenon, and Crowley literally retroactively refuted everyone else on this list.

>>14731070
Ghandi be a bitch ass nigga. The books is really clear in that it demands physical war, and through that physical war, you purify yourself as well. Karma Yoga, nigga.

>>14731072
Literally the worst authors in the list (aside from the "new thought" category)

>>14731090
>seething that Guenon refuted his favorite pseud, retroactively

>>14731108
I feel bad but also just downright sad when I meet people who think Guenon is the greatest philosopher. It's like you meet someone who says they like literature and then they tell you they only read Harry Potter.
