Don't buy the Bourgeoisie narrative of Cain and Abel. What Cain did was revolutionary praxis against the Sheep-Owning class.

My personal Alternative Hail Mary Prayer:

In Traditional Latin and English.

---english

Hail Mary, full of Grace.

Thy Devotees are with you.

Blessed art thou among Women, and Blessed is the fruit of your Womb.

Hail Mary, mother of all,

help us now,

and at the hour of our death,

Queen of Heaven guard us from harm.

----latin

Ave Maria, gratia plena, devotus tuus tecum .

Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui.

Ave Maria, Mater omnium nostrum,

adiuva nos nunc

et in hora mortis nostrae.

Regina caeli, ab iniuria nos custodi.

Hope someone has benefited from this knowing you can *change traditional Catholic prayers to fit Paganism, Gnosticism or Folk Catholicism!*

Spiritual discipline is what awakens us to divine reality, not belief.

Gnosis signifies knowledge from experience. Gnosticism, as a field of study, pertains to all the ancient schools of mysteries from both East and West, whose scriptures encompass the practical science of awakening consciousness. Gnosis is not isolated to the first Christians, but permeates all times, cultures, and spaces, for while consciousness is universal, the means of expressing such experiential wisdom of the divine is temporal and idiosyncratic to the language, mentality, and needs of a particular society.

Gnosis is what we have verified through experience and experimentation, predicated upon practical methods and personal effort. It is never the product of a belief system, of adopting a religious or mystical attitude, demeanor, or behavior. It is never achieved through attendance, adherence to, or acceptance from a group, by believing in doctrine or creed. It is the flowering and natural unfolding of the soul, which is created and developed when the proper causes and conditions have been met.

Just as there are laws that govern the physical universe, so too are there spiritual laws, causes, and methods to originate the soul: the awakening of the consciousness.

Therefore, the Greek term γνῶσις gnosis is synonymous with genuine faith. Faith has nothing to do with belief, with accepting or rejecting a concept in the mind or upholding a sentiment in the heart. Faith is what we know from facts, from witnessing and understanding reality. Belief takes no effort to foster or develop, whereas the awakening of consciousness and divine experience requires tremendous discipline and the application of spiritual works.

“All the rulers (archons) of the height have tried to deceive me into believing that I am only a body of matter without Light in it. And after this the merciless powers surrounded me, and tried to take away all the Light that was in me. But You appeared to me out of the darkness and I trusted You, O Light, and said: ‘You are the one who liberated me. I thank You O Light for having compassion on me. And You have saved me, O Light, with your Gnosis [Mystical Knowledge].’” (Pistis Sophia, Faith Wisdom)

Life is a dream.

God is the dreamer.

God is dreaming about us, what it is like to be us and what we do.

Our ego/personality is just a character god is dreaming.

When our lives end, our true self, God, merely wakes up and returns to being Himself.

So we never really die, we Iive on with, through and in God.

Docetism is one of my favorite christian heresies, because I think it's fucking hilarious. Docetism is the belief that Jesus had no physical body and he was composed solely of spiritual(pneumatic) matter. Which would be a really funny trick to play on the Romans. You idiots crucified a hologram!

So, interesting thing about Sophia's name that caught my eye as a practicing Gnostic.

In Gnosticism, Sophia is an Aeon, which is an aspect of the godhead. There's different incarnations of God through the Aeons. Sophia is said to have created the world around us by trying to emulate creation on her own without a partner. She accidentally created a being that we call the Demiurge, which is what we regard the Old Testament god, a very jealous god. In turn, the Demiurge created the Archons (angels) and they created humans and the world around us.

This is basically a Gnostic answer as to why the world is flawed and not perfect. There is more to the creation story as well as a deeper dive on Aeons, but I'm surmising this for simplicity.

Now, Aeon Sophia is regarded as Wisdom. In the Holy Trinity, Sophia is the Holy Ghost. Through Sophia, we obtain wisdom, gnosis. We all have a divine spark that we can awaken gnosis and this is a bit of a higher consciousness that we are able to connect to.

Here's what I love about this: the higher being and consciousness that we can all connect to is referred to as Monad. Monad is essentially the Godhead, that we all (including Aeons) come from, we obtain the divine spark and return to the light, Pleroma. Monad, however, is genderless, god has no gender so we refer to Monad as the Mother-Father.

So, to me, the concept of Ergo is a very similar concept to the divine spark (gnosis) that all beings emulate and their "whispers" can be heard. It makes a lot of sense to me that Sophia is regarded as a Listener and is associated with time because it really fits her potential namesake.

Since there's no concept of Hell in Gnosticism, the world that surrounds us is the closest we have to it, as well as limbo/purgatory. It's a neat part of the story P can be seen as a bit of a reincarnation of Carlo, because Gnosticism tells us that if we do not obtain gnosis, we are reborn until we achieve it. And gnosis isn't just knowledge, it's a sense of self. Know thyself. That inside of us, is Heaven and God, and all we need to do is find it.

So P's journey can have a Gnostic leaning to it (at least to me) because he's gaining a sense of himself and that he is separate from Carlo. In the good ending, him in Sophia's lap is him obtaining gnosis, not just humanity.

I don't know if this was intended by the devs or not, so this is largely a Gnostic interpretation.

Have you ever wanted to be a Gnostic Godling, slayer of angels and Gods, turning your ascended power and hyper-advanced technology toward the liberation of the greatest prison ever made: Hell itself?

Do you crave satisfying horde combat, where dozens of 1HP mooks combine into an unstoppable tidal wave of demons, barely kept back by your totally unique avatar of righteous destruction?

Want a game that combines base building, tactical combat, strategy map-gaming, and the tactile tinkering joy of combining dozens of character options into an engine of infernal liberation?

Ever imagine a game that grows with you? Letting you unlock new complex systems and mechanics that slot seamlessly into the core game at your own pace?

How about deep faction mechanics, or epic-scale boss battles with mid-battle transformations, desperation moves, and a variable action economy to keep it real regardless of your player count?

HELLPIERCER is coming to Kickstarter in early 2023. Illustrated by Monster Care Squad's @leafie-draws and TEN MILLION HP PLANET's @jnbutlerart, written by the very best minds of the Sandy Pug team. It's going to be something special. Check out the link above to be notified as soon as it drops. We'll be posting a preview edition of the rules in just a week or two, so follow along if you want to see more.

The Books of Jeu are two Gnostic texts. Though independent works, both the First Book of Jeu and the Second Book of Jeu appear, in Sahidic Coptic, in the Bruce Codex.[1] They are a combination of a gospel and an esotericrevelation; the work professes to record conversations Jesus had with both the male apostles and his female disciples, and the secret knowledge (gnosis) revealed in these conversations.
