The better question is - what is the Gnostic view on the divinity/incarnate of Christ.

In Gnostic theology, we separate the physical body of "Jesus" (the son of man, son of Mary) from the "Solar Christ" (The Logos, the Son of God.

Now, when Jesus was baptised, the Holy Spirit (Mother of the Logos) came and inhabited Jesus's body, and it then left when he was Crucified.
(See a text called: The Second Discourse of Great Seth for more info on this, along with the Acts of John).

This "Logos" is what we call the Archetypal Man, the perfect man, the Universal man. that anyone can aspire to be, Jesus was one of the greatest manifestations of this. All the Prophets including Muhummad did embody this to some extent as well.

Muslims are very correct in saying that Jesus was just a human and not a God, although some enlightened Sufis are aware of the concept of the universal man and the finding of God within. An (in)famous Sufi Saint, Mansur Hallaj, was killed for saying "I am the truth" because he came to the same realisation that Jesus did, and many other Sufi saints have.
They are also correct in saying "They Killed him not, nor crucified him, but it was made to appear so unto them"
Because it was only his physical body that was crucified, the physical world is an illusion "Maya"

DESU, I havent read much of Guenon yet but I am starting. I know Guenon speaks about the concepts of the "Universal man" and I think he does speak about Gnosticism at some point, I believe he was originally part of the Gnostic Church of france.

If any people well read in Guenon can tell me what he said specifically about Gnosticism I would appreciate it

The Traditionalists all had absolutely contemptuous and dismissive ideas about Gnosticism and regarded it as no more than a debased menagerie of formulae and superstitions. It is obvious that Guénon never delved into the profound depths (pardon the Aeonic pun) of Valentinus' cosmology, and the world is worse for it.

>> No.14311661

The world is worse for letting Judeo-Christian-Islamic insanity to take root for enabling fools like Guenon to take root, but not all Traditionalists are anti vidya/gnosis though few they are. Ananda K. Coomaraswamy and Algis Uzdavinys are the exception as well as a couple of second generation Traditionalists.

Read Irenaeus' description of Valentinianism and compare it to Advaita Vedanta and Kashmir Shaivism, which Guenon writes off as "disfigured Eastern ideas"--as if the Tradition was unknown in the West until the supreme arbiter Guenon was born to tell us what it was and wasn't.
