Thank you Cyd for your inspiration to trust the remembrance of the Fullness with unlimited love at it's core. A big task to be open to that unlimited love which is the core of our " true Self " , and to have faith we are capable of it. A continual task for me.
I love how you remind us that ruining paradise was above our " pay grade " That's a good reminder in itself to tone down our ego ..... " We ruined Eden–one decision of the woman tempting the man to eat of the apple of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil caused the Fall. But no, in Gnosticism, we say that the Fall happened upstream from us; ruining Paradise is way above our pay grade. It’s not humanly possible. We’re victims of the Fall. We’re not the creators of the Fall. "
I wonder if how we experience each other and the world would be different if everyone were able to release in their heads and hearts the false guilt trip that we are" born with evil", and so we are the makers of our own fall from what God wanted us to have ?
Good to hear from you, Gabriella! I just literally look upward to get in touch with that unlimited love. I believe it streams down upon us whenever we open ourselves to it. So it's not like something you need to be capable of producing. It's beyond us. That should relieve some of your struggle. All you have to do is remember to set into that glory beam whenever you notice you are out of it. That's when I use those clock times I mention, like 1:11, 2:22, 3:33, 4:44, 5:55. Whenever I notice one of those clock times I am reminded to literally look up and praise the Father and the Fullness. I think of those times as identifications of levels of the hierarchy. Probably a silly thought, but it works for me. So I give thanks to the resident aeons of level 1:11, 2:22, etc. as appropriate. By this time, with so many years of practicing this remembrance trick, I feel like those residents of those levels are my friends.
I definitely like your observation that people would be far better off to realize they are not born into sin but rather born as beloved messengers of love.
Thank you Cyd for all you do. I love your podcast. I became aware of gnosis not very long ago. It was at first a bit confusing, but discovering your podcast has simplified it and helped me to continue moving onwards and upwards! It is so much nicer to focus on loving to help bring us all higher. Thank you!
Thank you, Linda. I appreciate your listening and taking the time to write a comment. You are benefitting from the reason this podcast is here--to simplify and make accessible gnosis. There's too much confusion out there! love,
Thank You for explaining this to your Hindu tech friend, who I presume to be Indian. Indians embrace a lot of complexity and interrelationships, and seek harmony within that complexity and motion. They seek internal wisdom, and also forms of exteral ritual and practice with some firm rules, like cleanliness rules.
I really think Gnostic Christianity is more harmonious with Hinduism than is "mainstream" Catholicism or Protestantism, and the core writings of the Upanishads are most wise.
Yes. Exactly. He and I speak of Braman and the Father quite often. He is very open to hearing the gnostic gospel and fully agrees with our ideas of vice and virtue and staying in the will of the Father. He is also a strict vegetarian and tea-totaler and doesn't take any pills or vitamins in order to source everything from food. We love to discuss God together and how to serve God. He's also an outstanding tech services guy that I have come to trust immensely.

God the Loving Father, the All, is called Brahman. https://www.indiancentury.com/upanishads.htm
