It's really funny how people get into "Gnostic Literature" & think it's about "invisible forces" & "egregores" when the entire point of Gnostic literature was analogizing the operations of the State with demonic forces-- ie: the "Archons" are just the literal "Archons" of the Roman Empire-- the "Hypostasis of the Archons" is a title of a famous Gnostic text, but if you translate it, it's just "The Ultimate Reality of the State"

A worthy goal in life might be to become influential without being easy to model. You say things that matter but AIs have trouble imitating or predicting you.

BIBLE stands for “Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.”
FORTNITE stands for nothing.
Put down the controller and pick up the Book if you want your life to have meaning.

Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble.

Ray Bradbury’s advice for being more creative
Every night read:
- one short story
- one poem
- one essay
Do that for a thousand nights and you’ll be stuffed full of ideas

We're not on our journey to save the world but to save ourselves. But in doing that you save the world. The influence of a vital person vitalizes.

"According to Simon Magus, man as the microcosm is a 'house' which contains the root of the universe, and in this root is sealed and hidden the unbounded fiery power of God." ~Marie-Louise von Franz, Ph.D., Jungian analyst, Aurora Consurgens, p. 325

If any religion were stripped of historical vintage and familiarity and reintroduced it would appear as shocking and supernatural as any New Religious Movement. Familiarity is not truth. The measure of a personal belief is reflected in the conduct and experience of its adherents.

Cancelling medical debt is a slippery slope. The next thing you know, people would be calling ambulances and showing up to ERs seeking help without any fear of personal financial catastrophe.

“If we think of defeat that is what we will get. If we are undecided, nothing will happen to us. We must just pick something great to do and do it. Never do we think of failure at all, for as we think now, that is what we will get.”–Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (1907-2008)

Temple Theology posits a secret lost tradition that lies behind Western religion and mysticism... and the now unveiled mysteries of Temple Theology shine a new light on both Gnosticism and one of its most famous texts: The Secret Book of John
