Christian Gnosticism and Egypt.

Egypt seems like the most likely origin of the Gnostic tradition. It appears a remnant of the pharaohs priestly caste coalesced in Alexandria and that a mixture of Greek thought from Alexander’s conquests led to the origin of Coptic Gnostics who interacted with Jewish influences. However, the spirituality of the Pharaohs (Kemetism) isn’t worldly disaffirming like the view held by Christian Gnostics, but the Christian Gnostic idea may have been associated with the chaos that Kemeticism was so concerned about and intent on alleviating in their rituals and societal structure.  But they were the first people to view god as an ARCHITECT, or what they called Tekton, who was personified as PTAH (where the word Egypt comes from/in part). This is what became known as the Demiurge in Christian Gnosticism. See the second chapter of THIS link which shows the Egyptians to some degree did not view Ptah (demiurge) as the originator of the divine spark. This is the ROOT of all later iterations of gnosticism.

I can see why literalist exoterically minded Christians get all bent out of shape today as economic and political power centers all have Egyptian symbolism; with the added fact that Gnostic tradition was rather elitist, and we see it’s the elites enacting Egyptian symbolism and rites. But this would be a false equivalency from the view I look out on.

Firstly, these Christians take *The Torah as literal history and the evidence doesn’t seem to warrant such faith and when combined with the possibility that the Jews were the pharaohs; well, then, everything gets far more muddied and obscure. Also, read Freud’s, Moses and Monotheism where he correctly asserts (IMO) that Moses WAS Akhenaten…Or, at the very least, that one of Akhenaten’s closest peers (who was Egyptian) was Moses. Also see the writings of Ralph Ellis in this regard as well as the writings of Michael Tsarion. Oh, yes..I snarkily call the Akhenaten cult the K(h)enites..Silent h…

But that looks like what has happened. The Jewish ‘pharaohs’ rule today; they control the money supply; they use Egyptian symbolism, and they have their own gnostic narrative which will usher in their chosen messiah in the land of IS-RA-EL (Isis/Amen Ra/ and Canaanite EL)…I know, I know, this implies that the eternal victim narrative was a ploy over time. One hell of a gambit and civilizational Red Herring. America arguably derives from (T)a Meri…which means Egypt. So, Egypt’s spirit (KA)…rather than Ca. America means: Egypt’s spirit. Nile=Mississippi (Miss Isis); war between the north and south; the Eye of Ra on the dollar; Egyptian monuments all over America’s power centres. Memphis, Tennessee…Etc. Etc. Etc…And, of course, next door to Egypt is Canaan (Canan(ada)…Get it? Nothing new under the sun folks!

I suspect, too, if this were correct, that the Roman Church and Islam are a part of a very long-term strategy. It would make sense out of the first thing Trump did as president: to meet with Islam, Judaism, and The Pope. And this all seems tied into the Technocracy that James Corbett is documenting which is pointing to a sophisticated high-tech prison system for consciousness.

So, what the hell is Christian Gnosticism if it isn’t these elitist practices? I don’t really have the answer to that other than to say that I don’t personally believe the Kristos and Sophia are aligned with these archons; although I’ve conceded before that there could be some non-dual version of this story. I know, I’m not a very helpful Gnostic, but I do believe meditation and yoga could, possibly, lead to spiritual enlightenment, and trigger kindling type processes (fire-om) But I’m a skeptic, too, and I think it just as likely that ALL of this is a mythic delusion.

And at that point, I would point anyone in the direction of Jean Gebser and Integral Theory along with the quite problematic Ken Wilber. 

Ken is still very much worth investigating, though, as his work is vast and deep. It’s simply not without controversy. See my quip on the Kenite’s above.

On cosmology: the idea of NUN being the primordial waters is synonymous with Barbello of the Christian Gnostics who birthed pairs of Aeons (Christ/Sophia=Syzergy) which seem similar to the idea of the Ogdoad and MAAT (truth/justice=wisdom)…So, it seems Christian Gnostic cosmology is borrowed in some sense from these Egyptian ideas about the universe.

One last point here as we are on the topic of Egypt: the modern alien hypothesis is all over this one! The pyramids were not built by the pharaohs, IMO, and history doesn’t seem accurate, but that’s the work of Graham Hancock and people like him. I’d agree, though, that Hancock could very well be a misdirection agent.

NOTE: below is a list of coincidences between the religion of the Hebrews and Kemeticism. I’ll continually update this. Now, of course, Judaism did add their own thoughts and flavours to their religion as the centuries passed.

-the original God in the Egyptian pantheon was indescribable and unutterable.

-the Ka and the Ba of Kabbalah are Egyptian.

-the 10-commandments all appear in the 42 laws of MAAT and were written thousands of years earlier.

-The anointing oil of Egypt was Messeh– an alligator oil used in kingly ceremonies and this seems to be the root of Messiah.

-Yah was the Egyptian moon God and likely one of the reasons for Judaism’s Lunar associations and calendar.

-The Tree Of Life has its roots in Egypt and India and far predate the religion of the Hebrews.
