I just found out about this dude. Tips for not going insane?

What is it?
Why would it make you insane?

Whatever you are experiencing is literally just a fucking feeling, I've been there. It's just an illusion, nothing has really changed, and soon enough you'll succumb back to the mundane routine of life, and act like that never happened.

In 1945 a handful of manuscripts were found in the Egyptian town of Bag Hamdhi, so we get some direct knowledge there. That's what Jung was going off of. In 2005 scholars finally translated the Gospel of Judas from elsewhere in Egypt. These are all Coptic, but we can deduce that they were originally in Greek. Parts found elsewhere of the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas date to the original Gospels, and are among the oldest examples of Christianity.

Well some of the sayings in the Gospel of Thomas are found in the four gospels so obviously those date to that time. As a collection of unconnected sayings, it's basically impossible to find a precise date because it would be so easy to add or change sayings. I usually see the collection dated to any time in the second century AD.

It's interesting. When I read House of Leaves and Lovecraft, I never got how knowledge or reading could drive you crazy. After reading about the Gnosis, I kind of get it.

Schizo shit. Quantum computing let alone neuroscience is so infantile that it basically can tell us nothing aside from the fact that we are likelywrong about many things.

Yaldaboath in his many forms dates back to ancient Egypt and Sumeria. Plato was riffing off the Orphics, who in turn got their ideas from the ancient Hindus and Egyptians.

The difference between our imperfect physical world, and the purity of ideas, such as a Euclidean triangle has always gnawed at the back of man's thought. The idea of a physical world, versus a subjective experience still occupies the careers of neuroscientists, philosophers, and physicists to this day.

Yaldaboath should haunt you, because the idea of perfect math, shapes, and logic, clashes with this world. He is indeed a scary dude.

The Gnostics weren't novel. Neither is Kabbalah. The idea that words shape reality and processing of reality is born out in neuroscience and is a weird problem. Over all theism hangs the shadow of the Demiurge, telling us that what we see isn't what we know.

Congrats on beating Persona 5. Also, congrats on absolving humanity of any kind of flaw by attributing the cause of all suffering to a metaphysical entity whose existence you have no way to prove.

So basically holomonic brain theory implies a fundamental structure to the universe in a macrocosm/microcosm sort of way. As above so below. If we are to accept the concept of a divine creator, it would follow that there would be an intermediary reflection of that creator between man and the creator. Therefore Demiurge.
