Some odd writings a gnostic friend and I once made

 

 

The gnosis of Leviathan 

 

In the beginning, the Leviathan, the primordial manifestation of chaos, discord, and nihilistic purposelessness, was manifest throughout existence within this plane.  

 

This apparent discord, by rationalist measurement, is the nature of existence and this universe. 

 

Within Hebrew lore, it was Elohim-Yaweh who came to be known as "slayer" of the Leviathan, who through his subsequent, and irrational, defeat of chaos within the universe, managed to create and instill order, permanence, and a sense of objective purpose through him. It was Elohim-Yahweh who managed to wield the Tao of the universe to his cause, a Tao incomprehensible to humans, or so it would seem. 

 

The gnosis of Leviathan is the notion that perhaps this Elohim-Yaweh did not indeed slay Leviathan; that is to say that he only slew an incarnation of chaos to create the material illusion of order within our existence. 

 

The Tao is that God created an illusionary age of order, which will one day collapse within apocalypse, where the seven headed dragon of Leviathan would one day rise again to reinstall the chaos of the universe. 

 

Even outside of the realm of apocalypse, the Leviathan and chaos eat away at Elohim-Yahweh's power, for discord and the nature of the universe manifests itself even within Yahweh-Elohim and his creations as well. 

 

As it stands, humanity is made in Yahweh-Elohim's image, and so is forced, cruelly, to seek out order, purpose, and permanence in a fruitless quest where there may be none, all at the behest of "God" in a Sisyphean task subjective to their creator. 

 

There are only two releases from this age of illusion, which will come to an end, either the negation of reality as a force of rational discord, and salvation through Elohim-Yahweh in changing the very fabric of the universe, which appears unapparent; 

 

Or the acceptance of the chaos, indifference, non-permanence, and suffering of this world brought on by the lamentation that reality is not what we wish it to be, one of order. 

 

The gnosis of the leviathan is the acknowledgement that this illusionary age will one day fall, and that the dichotomy between Christianity and all religion is one of the forces of nihilism fighting the force of order represented by Elohim-Yahweh.  

 

Drawing upon the end of Kali Yuga, upon the end of this apocalyptic age, a metaphor for the universe can be seen as one of dance; one of abject chaos from a casual glance with purpose not understandable. The Kali Yuga is the apocalypse which marks the end of this illusionary age, and to tie oneself to these illusions and choose to neither embrace fully Elohim-Yahweh or Leviathan means to be torn between these two dynamic forces. 

 

The Kali Yuga marks the end of this great cycle, and perhaps the start of a new age and new dance within the universe. The materialistic dark age exists as we walk and breathe, and the universe is perpetuated by man separate from the Tao. 

 

The gnosis of Leviathan is a pseudo cult, a pseudo-discordian analysis, and ultimately a movement to attempt to see the wisdom of the ancients, in predicting the cataclysmic battle between the creative powers of the universe, versus non-permanence, nihilism, chaos, and purposelessness. 

 

The final tenant of the gnosis is that the assumptions that "with modernity we have surpassed the ancients" as wrong, in that within our hubris we believe ourselves to be the progressors of ideas and concepts never before thought by our "barbaric" predecessors. The ancients were indeed wise, and indeed seeked to objectify these dynamic ideals and concepts within religious lore and personified entities which embody philosophic concepts. The gnosis of Leviathan follows this tenant earnestly, and so as the movement goes, there is a branch between modern and ancient in the quest to find the Tao of the metaphysical world. The branching of ancient lore and texts, the kabbalah of the meaning behind such texts, and the examinations of modern thinkers to seek out the very nature of metaphysics.  

 

It is to be a discipline undertaken by the few for liberation through acceptance of the Tao, acceptance of the indifference, non-permanence, chaos, and nihilism of this universe, and ultimately a quest for the path to reconcile the individual with the realization that we are simply manifestations of the Tao of the universe, at odds with the universal energies manifest within us and existence due to our hubris to seek out the impossible in altering reality from what it is. 

 

The cult rises, the cult falls, and it is to be an individualistic matter. To debunk currency, and eliminate the false dichotomy of a non-embrace of suffering and chaos in a world of suffering and chaos. It is sadistic in its approach to combine metaphysical suffering and pleasure as simply sensation divided by perceptions of our culture. The gnosis is that of one on the path to Buddhahood, one who does not negate the world, but becomes its.  

The Gnosis of God's Divine Love

 

Love is the essence of all creeds, of all purposes, and of all action we partake; be it love of ourselves, god, existance, others, love of self-mastery and destiny, or any sort of love of meaning by which we gravitate our lives around. Love is all, and all is love; and love is the very being of Elohim-Yahweh, the God of humanity, order, and the universe.

 

As it stands, we are beings made in God's image, and forever indebted and a part of God's vision for reality; in nature a part of God. We are the manifestation of God's will upon a chaotic existance, and ultimatly reflect this through all our actions. I blasphemed in the second stage of gnosis, with Gnosis of Leviathan in believing God to be not omnipotent. I confess, it seems to me now that God must, above all else, be omnipotent in all things. The nature of God, and God's power, is the ability to alter and command the meta-physics of any reality, and bend it in a way which reflects his divine order. As it stands, we are beings who percieve a world without God, a world with chaos, and fail to see the divine tao of God's will and manifestations. We are a part of this tao, should we choose to embrace it, and should we become one with God, one with his love, and embrace being a manifestation of God's metaphysical presense within the universe, we may in turn find release from chaos in oneness with the divine tao of God. The Tao of God's Divine Love is the second gnosis of the Church.

 

The intoxication of God's love within our lives, is our ultimate calling. To embrace a God and a metaphysical vision of reality which we understand to be a conquring of a world in chaos, is to embrace our own destiny, made into divine purpose transcending subjectivity and objectivity into a realm of thought we do not yet fully comprehend, and into a realm of ontology not yet fully realized by our psyche. The rapture of the seer, courage of the martyr, faith of the servant, and love of all is the basis of this gnosis, and it is the spread of the gnosis, the allowing of its manifestations to move through the individual, that give the individual true purpose and true oneness with a divine metaphysical altering force within God. God becomes truely transcendent in his ontology in moving beyond being constrained by this realities meta-physics and eminating his own vision of love through the universe. The Gnosis of God's Divine Love is an embrace of this concept. It is the same intoxication and ectasy of the unexplainable force of eros in our lives, which, though not linguistacally possible to explain or logically contemplate, is a force which installs its own divine purpose in our own lives which we can commonly see and believe in. Divine love is beyond description, yet it manifests itself throughout our existance and throughout the existance of God's reality even amid percieved chaos, for God has conqured all.

 

There may still be chaos and suffering within our perceptions, but it is the path of the gnostic to see these illusions as mere debris of an old metaphysical universe being pushed along by the waves of God's new metaphysical reality. It is the duty of the gnostic to, should he seek out eternal bliss, become a wave of God, to know and join in with the oneness of God's divine love as it emmenates throughout the universe, and so obtain peace.
