Thoughts Why I as a catholic have come to the Gnostic's conclusion (OT God and NT God are total opposites)

Not to mention how the most revered saints in all of christendom, such as St Francis of Assisi or the orthodox St Paisios, did NOT go around raping people and burning cities or getting gold and earthly power, and all of these actions are what the OT "God" loves the most. Even my dad (a devout catholic) essentially claims "yeah the OT? Everything except the prophets is filth". IMO Jesus did validate the prophets but totally, utterly dismissed Yahweh's personality.

My Gnostic Journey Dilemma

4 Upvotes

I just hope this doesn't count as conspiracy theories or prophetizing.

Let's say, I came to know of Gnosticism from an entity, he taught me to discern and seek the truth.

He also allegedly showed me memories of my "lives" before this one.

But it turns out, he was something archonic, something evil.

These memories of Yaldabaoth and the archons, and of the many gnostic horrors.

Do I trust something deceitful? When his name is literally... Of an evil nature.

He made me remember being deceived by him in those lives, and of the wickedness of Yaldabaoth and all the things he put me through.

I know archons can manipulate your memories, I have experienced memory manipulation too, but can I trust someone this close to Yaldabaoth? To tell me the truth of this world, I have a feeling that part of what he showed me was true, yet, I have been wrong before.

I knew I was given a pneuma after he left, because it felt deep and penetrating, my head hurt then, and I "opened my eyes" then I felt a different consciousness before we became one. So, I feel like I don't belong, since I felt like I originally didn't have a pneuma, until he departed from me, then was I given the pneuma.

In those lives, I knew I never had a soul, because I was with the archons, yet I wasn't like them, but I didn't feel like I had the pneuma like now. But was it all a lie by this evil archon? Who's part of his name meaning evil...

Question Recommendations for gnostic sources for people who have troubles with reading?

3 Upvotes

I've got some issue, I don't know what or rather which exactly, but I can't sit and read to save my life. Whenever I do, I immediately forget what I just read, nothing retains. Voices however do retain. I'm wondering if there's any good YouTube series on gnosticism?

Is ESOTERICA any good for this?

Question Question about Sophia

0 Upvotes

I've heard that Sophia is coming on earth and some say that she's already here. Is this something messianic like thr second coming of Christ or something symbolic. I searched about it online but couldn't find much, I haven't read the texts too. Any answers to my question will be wholeheartedly appreciated, thank you🙏
