Valentinian Gnostic Tradition, and his teaching of resurrection/revival of the dead Tsadikim, and concept of messiah.Kohanloo, Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03488933220030505252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536854065433425156.post-23453647341097265682012-12-24T12:09:50.726-08:002012-12-24T12:09:50.726-08:00I am a Lodge Gnostic and will either attend a syna...I am a Lodge Gnostic and will either attend a synagogue, or coptic church, or Catholic church, or Ecclesia Gnostica house of worship, and always a Lodge. Meaning that I also attend services with the Templar Order, Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, or other Hermetic organization, Martinist Order, Brotherhood of the Rosy Cross. Also I do Lodge work with the Memphis and Mizraim Rites of Freemasonry. It feels great, to know that the traditions of the Ancient Mystery Schools remains, and that Wisdom, Spirit Worship meaning the veneration of the Holy Spirit is of interest to others. Note that I also perform devotional work that is given to the Great Sophia, meaning worship of Wisdom.Kohanloo, Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03488933220030505252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536854065433425156.post-48872943457338010562011-05-14T21:10:03.283-07:002011-05-14T21:10:03.283-07:00I would classify myself as a new religion Gnostic....I would classify myself as a new religion Gnostic.

Do you see these categories as cutting across different groups or different groups falling more or less under one heading? For example, do you see some Sethians as Lodge, some as Separatist, etc.? Or do you think they would all would tend fall under the same heading? <br /><br />It faintly reminds me of Barclay's schema of Hellenistic Jewish relationships to the broader societies in which they live.Jared Calawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380681998833566514noreply@blogger.com
