Wisdom’s Dare: The Future of a Divine Experiment

A divine experiment has gone wrong due to anomalous, unforeseen conditions that did not factor into the original set-up of the experiment as Sophia previsioned it. It is what we of the human species could do here on earth, by way of creating a free, cooperative social order, if we were to realize our divine potential and achieve it according to the designs and purposes of the resident divinity, Gaia-Sophia.

The Lament of a Star-Crossed Lover

Oddly, there is a starless zodiac. But there is also a zodiac formed of patterns of stars. The difference between the two is virtually unknown, even to most astrologers.

The Roots of Our Gnostalgia

The Gnostics were sophisticated seers who belonged to a millennial pagan tradition that was brutally suppressed at the rise of Christianity. Can looking back at what such mystics thought in a bygone time and setting offer a viable spiritual orientation for our time? Why we are so compelled to delve into what the Gnostics thought?

The Trap of Simulation

A spark of divine intelligence exists in each human being, according to Gnostic cosmology. This Greek word for this concept is nous, usually translated as "mind." When considered alongside the Gnostic concept of Hal – this Coptic word means "simulation" – the Gnostic perspective on nous may offer a way to orient us to the noosphere. Hal is close to what we today understand as Virtual Reality.

Debugging the Noosphere

It looks like the noosphere is an idea whose time has come, and it may well be the idea that defines its time, and frames the time ahead. But is it a good idea? Is it a viable, sound idea in social, spiritual, and evolutionary terms? Widespread enthusiasm about the noosphere dominates the discussion over its importance.

Gaia vs. The Off-Planet Father

If there is any real prospect of recovering and reviving Gnosis today, it will require looking closely at problems endemic to the Piscean Age, which the telestai were unable to solve, or denied the opportunity to solve. Deep ecology may well find the spiritual and mythic dimension it lacks in the Sophianic vision of the Mysteries. I cannot predict how this will happen, or even if it will happen, but I can offer a rough sketch of the conditions required for it to happen.
