no. nobody cares about gnosticism. fringe groups-which are not quite movements-have always been around, and you're just this generations incarnations of the temporary gnostic weirdo. it's a fad and in 10 years you're going to be a different person thrice over.

No, /lit/ is an orthodox ('''neo''')Platonist board. The Demiurge is an emanation of the One, and can only be good.

>>18817285
I think /lit/ is a collective of mystical types, literati, and "philosophers". Of course you start out coming here only understanding certain things, but the further you walk the more that opens to you.

>> No.18818134

Option 1: we are the eternal effect from one root cause. That cause is god. It had go know what it created, or we wouldn't be self-reflecting. He made it all knowingly, and that's absolute power.
Option 2: there is no root cause, not one single bigbang, but an Infinity of them. This Infinite bundle of causes is god. Then he has absolute power from the same reasons.

We are each a parcel of god, because we flow through determinism from him. We are descending from something all powerful, so that gives us power over its creation.

The renaissance has been brewing longer than the existence of the internet. It is certainly not exclusive to 4chan
For 4chan to make gnosticism associated with itself, 4chan must spin gnosticism in a new way, create a mass movement, or create multiple works of great literature.

The comic is a very literal portrayal of the Apocryphon of John, but then seems to use Aeon names from other sources. But the book is allegorical and symbolic. Anyhow, "Gnostic" isn't a sect, but an overarching lable like Protestant so using the Apocryphon as THE example of Gnosticism is like using the Book of Mormon to describe Baptists and Lutherans too.
