Holden,

Thank you for your response and the video link. I hope you are a little better now.

As I said I am just a scribbler. Gnosticism is a deep subject. I quoted these words before:

“What means exist, then, for breaking this lumbriciform cycle, for wrenching oneself free of the mentality of a qualified amphibian and shattering the vile mirror that eternally throws back our own reflection and hides from us the true splendours of the hyperworld?

It is possible to reject the beguiling trickery of the world by abstaining from procreation, and the majority of Gnostics did this, refusing to insert the absurd parenthesis of life between prenatal nothingness and death. It is more difficult to abstain from feeding oneself. All ascetic disciplines, no matter how austere, involve a minimum of nourishment.

The greatest saints defecated, just like everyone else. One might, therefore, think of a simpler and more radical solution: suicide. But this solution is the absolute antithesis of the Gnostic attitude. Not one of them, at any time, preached suicide.

The aim of the Gnostic is not the conjugate extinction of life and of consciousness, but the mastering of the one and the other, the attainment of a hyper-life and a hyperconsciousness.

For within man himself there exists a proof that all is not lost, and that he possesses, within his very body, evidence of his partially divine origin.

Just as the constellations, those glittering perforations in the cosmic tissue, prove the existence of another world, so, similarly, there exists in the tissue of our cells a perforation through which we can see the spark of life shining. And this perforation is the pupil of the eye.”

Indeed most of the faces I look at are really demonic. Demonic clowns, I should add.
Good business. The wife gets half of her husband´s property even if they were only married for a minute.

What can I say about the human libido? That´s the way we, human beings, have been designed. Pleasure is hell. As you said earlier we are in the wheel of samsara.

Stay well.
