The word gnostic comes from the Greek word gnosis, meaning "knowledge", which is used in Greek philosophy in a manner consistent with "enlightenment" in English. The name Christian gnostics came to represent a segment of the Early Christian belief system who found salvation by learning to liberate themselves from the material world via revelation. According to this tradition, the answers to spiritual questions are to be found within, not without. Furthermore this approach does not require the intermediation of a church or priest for salvation.
http://canarycryradio.com http://facelikethesun.com This is a video originally posted by Guy Malone of http://www.alienresistance.org Dr. Michael Heiser is the academic editor for the Logos Bible Software, a Ph.D. in Hebrew Bible and Semitic Languages with expertise on Ancient Israel and Egyptology. He's also the author of the novel The Facade, and he runs several blogs including PaleoBabble, UFO Religions, and he was featured on Chris White's recent debunkumentary Ancient Aliens Debunked, Naked Bible Podcast. He also runs MEMRA (online institute for ancient languages and Biblical theology) http://drmsh.com This video is all 8 parts of his lecture from back in 2006. Part 1: Introductions Although the hype surrounding the DaVinci Code has left the mainstream media, the ideas persist. Here, speaking in 2006 at the height of the DaVinci controversy, ancient languages scholar and Biblical Hebrew expert Michael Heiser gives us a solid and plain spoken introduction to Gnosticism. Part 2: Reliability of New Testament Scriptures (esp vs the Nag Hammadi) Dr. Heiser compares the oldest scriptural texts with the gnostic texts and explains why the New Testament texts are reliable while the gnostic texts aren't. Special attention is paid to the precise dating of New Testament texts, and serves as a primer for all serious students and teachers of the Bible. Part 3: Were Jesus and Mary Madelene married? Dr. Heiser compares the Gnostic Jesus with the Jesus of the Bible. Was Jesus, as a rabbi, required to marry? Was Mary his companion? His wife? Were these and other secrets buried along with Jesus? These and other questions are examined. Relevant texts, including the gospel accounts and the gnostic texts, are examined. Mr. Heiser shows what is in the text and what isn't. You might just be surprised. Part 4: Gnosticism and Women Heiser offers an honest examination of the supposed "pro-woman" message often ascribed to the gnostics. Is gnosticism really "enlightened" in terms of womens' roles. Looking at the actual texts the gnostics themselves wrote, their customs, rituals and spirituality, Heiser makes sense of the nonsense surrounding this ancient and mysterious religion's place for women. Part 5: Neither Lord nor Christ? The Belief in Jesus as God before The Council of Nicea and the Exalted Christ of Gnosticism. This is a refutation of two ideas put forth in The DaVinci Code: That Constantine invented the idea that Jesus was God at The Council of Nicea, and that the Gnostic texts portray Jesus as only a mortal man (hint: they do not). Part 6: What Really happened at Nicea? An examination of Constantine's spiritual commitments and the documentary evidence left to history concerning the proceedings at the Council of Nicea. Part 7: The Conspiratorial Logic of The DaVinci Code and Jesus Bloodline Theorists Part 8: Jumping the Shark from the Newsroom to the Ivory Tower: Assessing the Gospel of Judas Frenzy Original individual videos can be found on AlienResistanceHQ Channel.

http://www.patreon.com/aeonbyte One of the most accessible and dynamic forms of occultism in a postmodern age is Chaos Magick. It is more subtle than being a syncretic and artistic form of magical work, harkening back to the poetic mythopoeia of the ancient Gnostics—and just as daring in its exploration of inner realms and the outer spheres of reality. We explore the perils and opportunities of Chaos Magick, and how it relates to Gnosticism. And how both are the charged, approachable story of the adventure of the soul across the various dimensions of existence. From Valentinus to David Bowie, from Abraxas to Baphomet, we leave no chaos stone unturned. Astral Guest—Steve Dee, co-author of Craft of Chaos.

Gnosticism (from gnostikos, "learned", from Greek: γνῶσις gnōsis, knowledge) is a modern scholarly term for a set of religious beliefs and spiritual practices found among some of the early Christian groups called "gnostic" ("learned") by Irenaeus and other early Christian heresiologists. The term also has reference to parallels and possible pre-Christian influences of the Christian gnostics.
Gnosticism was primarily defined in Christian context, or as "the acute Hellenization of Christianity" per Adolf von Harnack (1885), until Moritz Friedländer (1898) advocated Hellenistic Jewish origins, and Wilhelm Bousset (1907) advocated Persian origins. Consequent discussions of Christian Gnosticism included pre-Christian religious beliefs and spiritual practices argued to be common to early Christianity, Hellenistic Judaism, Greco-Roman mystery religions, Zoroastrianism (especially Zurvanism), and Neoplatonism. The base of discussion of gnosticism changed radically with the discovery of the Nag Hammadi library, and led to revision of older assumptions, and a reorientation of modern scholarship following the 1966 conference on gnosticism in Messina.
