[quote:Anonymous Coward 77882774:MV80NTkwMzI3XzgzNzI0MDk3XzdCOUE5QUQ1] [quote:CopyNinja87:MV80NTkwMzI3XzgzNzIzODk4Xzc4RTFFRTQ1] @ Jennifer I didn’t read the gnostic texts. But I did read about the origins of the demiurge and how he relates to Sophia. The legend of Yaldabaoth, the one with many names. I just found the texts too long and boring. I do know that Christianity came from the Gnostics in its earliest form, and the kings of that time sent troops to execute all their towns. So they must have known something about the truth. [/quote] I hear you! I've only stumbled through a few of them myself... I do find the history of the Cathars (aka the Albigensians) to be fascinating. They were also wiped out in a bloody crusade. Some consider Yaldabaoth to be Jehovah of the Old Testament. [/quote]
Original Message
GRANDPA AND GRANNIE WORKED THEIR WHOLE LIVES. THEY WERE CARING CONSERVATIVE PEOPLE WHO ALWAYS OBEYED AND NEVER QUESTIONED REALITY.
THEY WERE VERY RELIGIOUS PEOPLE WHO DID REGULAR BIBLE STUDY AND WENT TO CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY.
AFTER PHYSICAL DEATH THEY SAW IMAGES OF DEPARTED LOVED ONES AND THEY EAGERLY ENTERED THE BEAUTIFUL WHITE LIGHT.
THEY WERE THEN SHOCKED TO SEE THE AFTERLIFE LOOKED VERY SIMILAR TO THE PHYSICAL WORLD. THERE IS BARS, STORES, HOUSES AND BUILDINGS.
