It's what the actual historical Gnostics believed, not modern LARPers like this

>believe
We don't believe things.
The word gnosis means knowledge, not knowledge from books, but direct knowledge from actual experiential perception.

And no, the larps that people typed in nag hammadi aren't exactly it, they have been written for when LARPers come to single them out.


This for instance is a LARPer, he knows the books of nag hammadi, so he assumes that's what Gnostics (lit: knowers) believe.

Surprise surprise, gnostics are born knowing their religion and they don't share it because they know what's necessary to be saved.

It's not a religion of: Believe this and you will be saved, rather it's a religion where you KNOW what has to be done to be saved.

And no ammount of QQing and larping will change this.

False. Pneumatics are those who are full initiates. Gnosticism was a normal esoteric religion within an initiation system. Virtually all the chains of initiation have been destroyed and you cannot be initiated today unless you have attained through some group such as the Druze, which you haven't. It is quite literally a LARP.

absolute bullshit, you are initiated through Sophia by divine wisdom you acquire
