Gnostic Gospel, Pt 1: The Father, The Son, and the Birth of The ALL

Notice: There is now a separate blog dedicated to the New Gnostic Gospel. You can get there by clicking here.

The following article is what kicked off The New Gnostic Gospel Illuminated book and blog.

*******************

This story begins before the beginning; before space and time and our material universe.

Imagine, if you can, nothing exists but pure consciousness. Consider this consciousness to be without thought. No thought, no images, no structure or form. No thing at all. Only love.

This consciousness simply is. Without time, without any prior existence.  Unchangeable. Unmovable. Without beginning; without end. Utterly quiet. Utterly still. Utterly alone.

All knowing—what is there to know? All seeing—what is there to see? All loving—what is there to love? Omnipotent wisdom and will—to what end?

Imagine this consciousness giving birth to an emanation of itself—now a Father, and a Son.

In the silence of the Absolute, the Father brings forth the first and only Son from its realization of Itself. The Son exists as the Father having a thought. As the Father knowing Itself. As the Father having a sensation of Its own eternal Self.

This Son reflects the Father’s boundless greatness and love. This Son possesses every trait of the Father, for the Son is a complete encapsulation of the Father in which it dwells. Every trait of the Father expressed as the singularity of the Son. [The Tripartite Tractate, v.56]

And yet, although it was the singular manifestation of the Father, the moment the Son was formed, it was no longer alone. For not only the Son, but the ALL arose at once. The ALL immediately appeared as the offspring of the Son, because the Son could not stop itself from bringing others into existence, even as it was brought into existence by the Father.

This ALL is known as the pre-existent Church, “For not only the Son but also the Church exists from the beginning.” [The Tripartite Tractate, v.58]

Before the ALL arose from the Father’s thought, He knew them, but they did not know the depth in which they found themselves, nor could they know themselves or anything else. For they were within the Father as an embryo or an unsprouted seed. [The Tripartite Tractate, v.61]

Because they were newly formed, the Father concealed the ALL’s perfection from them until they could grow into the knowledge. This is why the Father revealed the Son to them, so the ALL would be able to relate to him and see the Father’s Glory according to the ability of each one to receive him. [The Tripartite Tractate, v.63]

The Son is no more and no less than the sum of the ALL, and they understood who he is, and he is covered by the ALL. [The Tripartite Tractate, v.66]

Here is a Simple Explanation of the above, using the Simple Explanation terms for those readers who prefer them.

The "before the beginning" parts are right out of the Simple Explanation cosmology, blog, and book. Anyone who likes the Simple Explanation cosmology should recognize it.

The Simple Explanation refers to the Father as the Metaverse, that which is above our Universe.

The Simple Explanation calls the Son the Universal Unit of Consciousness, because while identical to the Father, or Metaverse, this all-knowing consciousness is now also a singular Unit. In fractal terms, the Son is the first iteration of the pattern. The first Torus wireframe potential if you want to go that way.

The ALL is every thing that will ever be, in potential. Plato's forms, every photon, particle, and proton, every personality, imagined and formulated and imprinted upon the Universal Unit of Consciousness. They are not manifest, nor even self-aware. They are unrealized fractal iterations of the pattern of the Son.

Thus begins my Simple Explanation of the Gnostic Gospels, primarily taken from the Tripartite Tractate of the Nag Hammadi Scriptures. The verse numbers refer to the verse of the Tripartite Tractate cited. The Simple Explanation began this work in 2015 and set it aside for further contemplation until now. 

I will hopefully continue to write these complete and Simple Explanation of Gnostic Cosmology as quickly as I can, so stay tuned. My goal is to help both believers and non-believers understand this ancient Gospel that predates our modern Bible. 

This Simple Explanation of the Gnostic Gospels takes us all the way from before the beginning to the end of time. In these Gospels you will learn the fuller, original meanings of many Christian terminologies that no longer appear in our modern Bible. This article has explained The Father, The Son, the ALL, and the pre-existent Church. And we haven't even gotten to Creation yet!
