Discussion

While traditional teachings portray Jesus as a savior who dies to atone for humanity’s sins, Gnostic texts like the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of Philip present a radically different view. For the Gnostics, Jesus isn’t a redeemer but a revealer of truth, awakening us to reality that the material world is a trap created by a lesser deity known as the Demiurge [or, the computer programmer of this simulation? This Gnostic (meaning knowledge) perspective emphasizes inner knowledge and self-discovery as the paths to salvation, rather than following external doctrines or rituals.

The Gnostics believe the physical body is a prison for the divine spark within us, and Jesus’s role is to guide humanity toward spiritual liberation. His teachings and miracles, interpreted symbolically, aim to awaken this divine spark rather than perform physical acts of healing. Central to Gnostic thought is the idea that spiritual enlightenment comes from within; we must internalize Jesus’s teachings to achieve true understanding and transformation.

Further/possibly: the Jesus narrative could also be part of the Sacred Secretion process to awakening.

The resurrection is not a future, physical rising from the dead but a present, spiritual awakening that transcends ignorance, material attachments, and the illusions of the physical world to attain gnosis (direct knowledge of the divine). This process represents the liberation of the spirit from the material realm, often viewed as a realm of entrapment created by the demiurge. Through inner awakening and enlightenment, the individual reconnects with their divine origin, experiencing a personal and mystical “resurrection” of the soul to its higher, true self.

Ultimately, the Gnostic perspective on Jesus reimagines his purpose—shifting the focus from redemption and atonement to awakening and liberation. It invites us to seek the divine truth within ourselves.

The Process

In Gnostic concept, to “resurrect” while still living, means undergoing a profound spiritual awakening—a transformation of consciousness that allows you to transcend the limitations of the material world and reconnect with your divine essence, awakening to your true self, freeing your spirit from the limitations of the physical and mental constructs, and living a life here in the material world while still reflecting your divine nature.

It’s not about escaping life but transforming how you experience it. This process involves several key steps:

• Seek Gnosis (Knowledge)
  • Gnosis is direct, experiential knowledge of the divine. It’s not acquired through doctrine or dogma but through inner insight and spiritual experiences.
  • Practices like meditation, introspection, and contemplation help access this knowledge.
• Recognize the Illusions of the Material World
  • View the material world as a creation of the demiurge or an illusion (simulation maybe) that traps the divine spark within us.
  • To resurrect, you must detach from material desires, ego-driven ambitions, and societal illusions, seeing them as distractions from your true spiritual nature.
• Awaken the Divine Spark
  • A piece of the divine resides within everyone—a “divine spark.”
  • Awakening this spark requires aligning with higher spiritual truths and realizing your connection to the divine source.
• Die to the Ego
  • The “death” in resurrection is metaphorical. It refers to the dissolution of the ego—the false self created by identification with the material world.
  • This involves letting go of fear, pride, and attachments that hinder spiritual growth.
• Live in the Spirit
  • Once awakened, you live from a place of higher consciousness. Your actions, thoughts, and relationships reflect this spiritual awareness.
  • You embody virtues like love, wisdom, and compassion, prioritizing spiritual truths over material concerns.
• Participate in Mystical Practices
  • Many Gnostics used rituals, sacred texts, and esoteric teachings to aid in the process of resurrection ( Sacred Secretion).
  • Engaging with practices like meditation, prayer, or communion with the divine can guide you on this journey.
• Integrate the Experience
  • Resurrection isn’t a one-time event but an ongoing process of integrating higher consciousness into daily life.
  • It’s about living in alignment with spiritual truths while still engaging with the world, transforming it through your enlightened perspective.
• Draw Inspiration 
  • Sophia’s fall and redemption serve as a spiritual blueprint for passing these tests (below). Her story teaches that even in the depths of error and suffering, the soul’s divine origin remains intact and even in moments of darkness, the path back to the divine is always accessible. . By reflecting on Sophia’s perseverance, yearning for truth, and eventual reunification with the Pleroma, individuals can find the courage and inspiration to navigate their own trials. Her journey demonstrates that the resurrection of the soul is not only possible but inevitable for those who persist, offering hope and wisdom on the path to spiritual awakening.
