Gnostic Insights
Ch. 5 from A Simple Explanation of the Gnostic Gospel of the Tripartite Tractate
Welcome back! This week’s episode is a chapter out of the new book you keep hearing about. This chapter deals with the Fall of Logos and the rise of the Deficiency. It will be familiar territory by now and may clear up some fuzziness of thought. I’m not including a transcript because this material is available in the book which is, of course, copyrighted. The color edition of the book should be available for purchase sometime in January or February. I’m taking one last proof read of the galley copy and, unfortunately, am finding a few errors of punctuation and spelling, <sigh>, so it needs one more pass through the editing and art departments. Hopefully that won’t take long…
Before we begin, I would like to remind you that I am not teaching you gnosis, I am only reminding you of the gnosis we were all born with. We 2nd Order Powers come fully loaded with remembrance of the Father, the Son, and our Aeonic home in the Fullness. We are called “those of the Remembrance” for that very reason. But once we enter this material world, we tend to forget our ethereal origins because of the never-ending war down here. If what I am saying is true, then this gnosis will strike you more as an “aha” than a “huh?” and you will come away feeling less confused rather than more confused. Of course, you still need to listen with mindfulness and understand what I’m saying.
What do you think? Are you finding that to be the case? If you come away confused, please write to me for clarification.Feel free to write to me privately using the Contact Us form at gnosticinsights.com. Or you can write to me via Comments at the Gnostic Reformation on Substack. Public comments are encouraged at the Substack page so we can start up a dialogue on these things. I really appreciate the listeners who have written to share their stories with me.
The publisher is almost finished with A Simple Explanation of the Gnostic Gospel of the Tripartite Tractate. This will be a large, fully explanatory edition that lays out the gnostic cosmology from start to finish, with full color illustrations throughout. They have set the price around $30. I’m keeping my royalties to a minimum in order to lower the sales price for you. There is currently an inexpensive, black and white edition that I published myself that is available here if you can’t afford $30 or don’t want to wait to read it.
We all share the same One Self at the center of our souls. The Self reflects the Son. We each have individualized Egos that wrap around the outside of our souls. The Ego designates our name, position, properties, and duties in relationship with the Fullness that surrounds us. Even Aeons have Egos, but they are simply designations that reflect their individual point of view. The function of Ego is to connect with those around you, while the function of the Self is to connect with the Son.
