"The Monad is utterly transcendent, existing beyond space, time, and comprehension, and is not a personal deity who intervenes in worldly affairs but rather the pure unity from which all spiritual reality emanates."
How can anyone know this then?
"Gnosis (direct, experiential spiritual knowledge) is the essential means by which humans can recognize their divine origin and reunite with the Monad. Unlike orthodox Christianity, which emphasizes faith or moral transformation, Gnosticism teaches that salvation is achieved through gnosis, allowing the divine spark within humans to awaken and ascend past the Demiurge’s material realm back to the Pleroma (the divine fullness) to rejoin the Monad."
Where then does knowledge originate and how do we even understand its importance with an impersonal entity?
It also suggests that we are attempting to intertwine ourselves with an impersonal unknown so what's the value in knowing?
The Muslims say Allah's will cannot be known and yet have a book and a whole system of rules and by-laws to follow.
These two sound similar.
The truth in every aspect of life has an origin. It is the standard.
Humanity's true spiritual enemies have been obfuscating throughout.
We must know our enemies to decipher their deceptions and prepare accordingly.
