Honeycomb Light of the Christos

http://www.metahistory.org/gnostique/telestics/HoneycombLight.php

The most interesting stable patterns appear right at the edge of chaos...The specific interesting pattern that appears is a honeycomb arrangement of hexagons. This is happening far from equilibrium, thanks to the energy flowing through an open system and being dissipated. This is the secret of the existence of order in the Universe, and specifically the secret of life.
- John Gribbin, Deep Simplicity

The phenomenon described here is called the Rayleigh-Bénard instability, or, more simply, Bénard convection. The individual facets in the honeycomb arrangement of hexagons are called Bénard cells. They are named after French chemist Henri Bénard who first recorded this phenomenon in 1900. Because the phenomenon was investigated by the British physicist Lord Rayleigh, the conditions that produce it came to be called the Rayleigh-Bénard instability.

Wooing the Whore of Wisdom (1)

Considerations on Reconstruction of the Sophia Myth

Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids. Proverbs 6:25

The Jewish author of Proverbs warns against the temptation of whorish women, but to the mystic inspired by the story of Sophia no beauty excels that displayed by the Whore of Wisdom, and once seen, she is irresistable. To lust for her beauty and be taken upon her eyelids is rapture without compare. Loving Gaia is the highest calling of the human species. Such is my persuasion.

I have probably read the entire Nag Hammadi Library at least twenty times. Not until the sixth or seventh reading did I begin—just begin—to develop a consiste

The Fall of the Wisdom Goddess

http://www.exohuman.com/wordpress/2011/01/the-fall-of-the-wisdom-goddess/

Here in a nine-part synopsis is one version of the sacred myth of Sophia, the “fallen goddess” of the Pagan Mysteries. The fallen goddess scenario (FGS) is not the invention of this author, John Lash. It is his reconstruction of a mythic narrative developed by ancient seers who applied it as a vision story for guiding humanity to evolve interactively with the living planet, Gaia. I consider this complex narrative to be the singular and paramount explanation of cosmic purpose produced by human imagination, truly a myth to guide the species. —John Lamb Lash

Not in His Image: Gnostic Vision, Sacred Ecology, and the Future of Belief

http://www.amazon.com/Not-His-Image-Gnostic-Ecology/dp/193149892X

Basing much of Not in His Image on the Nag Hammadi and other Gnostic writings, John Lamb Lash explains how a little-known messianic sect propelled itself into a dominant world power, systematically wiping out the great Gnostic spiritual teachers, the Druid priests, and the shamanistic healers of Europe and North Africa. They burned libraries and destroyed temples in an attempt to silence the ancient truth-tellers and keep their own secrets. But as Lash reveals, when the truth is the planet Earth it cannot be hidden or destroyed.

Not in His Image delves deeply into the shadows of ancient Gnostic writings to reconstruct the story early Christians tried to scrub from the pages of history, exploring the richness of the ancient European Pagan spirituality--the Pagan Mysteries, the Great Goddess, Gnosis, the myths of Sophia and Gaia--and chronicles the annihilation of this Pagan European culture at the hands of Christianity.

Long before the birth of Christianity, monotheism was an anomaly; Europe and the Near East flourished under the divine guidance of Sophia, the ancient goddess of wisdom. The Earth was the embodiment of Sophia and thus sacred to the people who sought fulfillment in her presence. This ancient philosophy was threatening to the emerging salvation-based creed of Christianity that was based on patriarchal dominion over the Earth and lauded personal suffering as a path to the afterlife. As Derrick Jensen points out in the afterword, in Lash's hands Jesus Christ emerges as the agent provocateur of the ruling classes.

THE TRUE ANARCHY OF LIFE ON EARTH

The Human Role in Sophia's Correction

When Pistis saw the impiety of the Lord Archon she was filled with anger. Acting in her invisible form, she spoke in this way: "You are mistaken, blind one -- false deity who cannot see. There is an immortal luminous child, the Anthropos, who came into existence before you and who will appear among your spectral forms (plasmata). This luminous child will trample you in scorn just as a potter's clay is pounded (into a lump). And you will sink away to your proper zone, the abyss (of gravity), along with those who belong to your legion.

"For at the consummation of your work, the entire defect [of Archontic illusion] exposed in the light of truth will be abolished, and [that illusion] will be as if it never had been."
-- On the Origin of the World, 103.15-30

Speaking on Grok-the-Talk in April 2011, I ventured a rather grandiose claim: namely, Sophia's correction commenced on March 19, eight days after the Fukushima earthquake. If Gnostic teachings surviving from the Mysteries are correct, this event would be of singular and momentous import for the human species and the future of the planet. For one thing, it means that the Terma of Gaia Awakening which I discovered in August 2008 is now fully underway as an interactive event going forward in linear time —and possibly, as well, in parallel time. By "parallel time" I mean a bifurcation event that involves humanity taking two different courses simultaneously: di-orthosis, dual or split solution. To make as clear as possible the various aspects and prospects and of this fantastic opportunity, I offer this essay.

The Gnostic Theory of Alien Intrusion - Metahistory

http://www.metahistory.org/gnostique/archonfiles/AlienIntrusion.php

 Since the explosion of the ET/UFO phenomena in 1947, speculation about alien intrusion on planet Earth has been rampant. Half a dozen theories dominate the debate, but there is one theory that has yet to be examined. It did not emerge after 1947, but approximately 1600 years earlier. To be precise, the evidence of this theory came to light through a discovery in Egypt in December, 1945, although the significance of the find was not realized until — guess when? 1947.
