Synopsis
In this revelatory exploration of Gnostic wisdom and the Tripartite Tractate, you are invited to remember the truth of your existence and reclaim the knowledge that was always yours.
What is gnosis?
Gnosis simply means knowing.
And in the Gnostic frame of reference, gnosis refers to remembering the truth of our existence and our cosmic origin. Gnostic literature says we come into life holding all of this knowledge within ourselves, and that we have complete access to the Father, the Son, and the Fullness of God any time we choose to turn our focus upward. It is this direct connection to the Father that brings us into alignment with our gnosis.
This book is organized in the order that creation itself emerged from the Father. I like to begin at the beginning before the cosmos unfolded and rolled out. This makes the most sense to me—to start at the very beginning and then go through the entire process of how everything came to be and who the principal players are. Once that is established, we will move on to see how that applies to our lives. Then we can ask, “Why are we here? Is there a purpose to our lives? How should we live?” After that, we can finally consider the final roll-up of the universe and “what happens after we die?” All of these questions are answered very precisely in the Tripartite Tractate of the Nag Hammadi. This type of knowledge is called gnosis.
The creation cosmogony that’s presented through the Tripartite Tractate is the path by which consciousness proceeds out from the Father through the Son and out through the Totalities of the All and the Fullness of God. This is the very consciousness we are heirs to. We living creatures are the children of the Aeons of the Fullness of God. Consciousness, life, light, and love come from the Father and the Fullness of God in the form of all living creatures. This world is not our forever home. All of us have been redeemed by Christ and everyone will come to know that. We shall all return in the end to our heavenly abode to live forever as the Father's beloved children.
Valentinian Gnosticism is a form of proto-Christianity, and I maintain that it is the true, original form of Christianity. It is my understanding that this wisdom would have been what Jesus was actually talking about, and that’s why the New Testament is consistent with what I have been teaching. When Jesus said, “I and my Father are One,” he was talking about the Gnostic God Above All Gods.
Open this book and awaken the truth already written in your soul. Get your copy today and step into the original teachings of Christ, understand your divine origin, and embrace the journey back to the Father. The time to remember… is now.
