An Introduction to Gnosticism

Welcome to the Gnostic Reformation! This is the first episode of a series that now may also be found in my book titled: A Simple Explanation of the Gnostic Gospel of the Tripartite Tractate. You can find that book and its companion book, The Gnostic Gospel Illuminated, at my author bookstore.The purpose of this newsletter and associated podcasts isn’t to sell books or enrich myself. You won’t find any paywalls here. Free will donations are, of course, appreciated, and they will be applied to spreading this Gnostic Reformation far and wide to those who need it.I am what a professor once derisively called a true believer. Hence, the gnosis I present is not meant to be a scholarly endeavor, but to awaken within you the gnosis long forgotten by your soul. This is gnosis you can use to aid your own discovery of your life’s purpose here on earth. I believe this is the original message that Jesus shared with his followers—the message that was taken out of the Bible by the Nicene Council. That is why I am calling this a Gnostic Reformation, in the same way that Martin Luther brought the Catholics of his day into the Protestant Reformation to free them from the false teachings of the pope.Listen with an open mind and heart, and use your own discernment to gauge the truth of the matter. I look forward to your comments on any of the material presented in this episode. Please, be kind.Onward and upward! This is a public episode.
