The Difference Between Knowledge and Wisdom
It may be
an unfortunate reality
that the human life span
may be too short for most humans
ever to attain wisdom.
Throughout
human history
only those embarking
on
the quest for truth
open the door to
wisdom.
wisdom defined: discernment
wise judgement
intelligently
realistic
wise
teaching of Axial Age sages
a wise outlook,
plan, or course of action
understanding scientific and
practical truth
common sense due to
clear unbiased
judgement
the sum of
learning through the ages; applied knowledge
the ability to discern or
judge what is true,
right, or
lasting
the
union of emotional intelligence with rational intelligence
knowledge +
experience +
insight =
common sense or
"Content is the one who
gains Understanding.
The value of deducing is greater
than silver,
and her wages
are greater than gold.
Acuity is more precious than rubies;
nothing you desire can compare to
her.
Wisdom offers you life in
her right hand,
and
nobility and honor in
her left hand.
Acumen will guide you on
the Way;
all her garden paths are
satisfying.
Wisdom is a tree of life, hold
her tightly."
(Proverbs 3:13-18)
Context provides the essential key for understanding Jesus'
message.
According to Valentinus, there are
esoteric teachings originating
in Jesus that were secretly passed
on by his disciples
through the Oral Tradition.
When Jesus spoke in public,
he used parable with metaphor and
analogy.
Valentinian Gnosticism was widespread throughout the
Roman Empire from
Alexandria, Egypt through
Asia Minor to
Syria and
Northwest Africa.
Valentinus and the
Gnostic movement were considered threats to
Pauline Christianity by
orthodox Christian scholars that were followers of
Irenaeus.
Truth cannot be extracted from
scripture by those ignorant of
tradition.
Secret teachings
are meaningful only to those with
spiritually
intelligence.
To a person
not ready to receive
illumination, they seem
like nonsense.
Æon the
Ineffable defies description and
Jesus came to bring
knowledge (gnosis) to a suffering humanity that
was desperately seeking
salvation.
The Valentinian tradition draws a sharp distinction
between the human Jesus and
the divine Christ, even
while recognizing both as homoousion.
The human Jesus was
born the son of Mary and Joseph.
Jesus is
consubstantial with the spiritual seed of Sophia.
When he was thirty years old, he went to John the Baptist to
be baptized.
As he went down to be
baptized, the Divine
Savior, referred to as the "Spirit of the Thought of the
Father," descended on him in the form of a white dove.
A "virgin birth" and resurrection from
the dead, reborn of
the virgin Spirit.
People manifest their
true nature in their response to the message of Jesus.
Self-centered people focus on Jesus saving their
own meager soul and totally overlook the reality that
humans are social
animals and all
souls must be saved.
"Be glad, people of Zion,
rejoice in the Lord your God, for he has given you the autumn rains because he
is faithful.
He sends you abundant showers, both autumn and spring
rains.
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and
daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will
see visions.
Even on my servants, both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in
those days." - Joel 2:23,28,29 |
Using the
parable of the sower
(Matthew 13:1-8), they explain that through Jesus,
Sophia sows the spiritual
seed in all who hear the
message.
People bear spiritual
fruit after attaining
a state of mystical
knowledge in which they recognize their
Eternal Soul is always
accompanied by the
Savior.
Sin,
an expression of debt due to
ignorance, could be overcome through
knowledge of the Will of Æon revealed throughout the glory of
Creation.
Irenaeus identified
Valentinus as the author
of the Gospel of
Truth.
Clement of Alexandria
records Valentinus was a follower of Theudas, a
disciple of Saul of
Tarsus.
Valentinus claimed Theudas imparted to him secret wisdom
that Saul of Tarsus
privately taught his inner
circle publicly referred to in
connection with his
visionary encounter with the risen Christ (Romans 16:25; 1 Corinthians 2:7;
2 Corinthians 12:2-4; Acts 9:9-10).
Valentinian literature described
the primal being, called Bythos, as the
beginning of all things.
Valentinius, along with
Clement, was among the
early Christians who attempted to align Christianity with
Platonism.
Trinitarianism states that the three
distinct aspects are One Æon.
Tritheism states the three
distinct aspects are Three
Gods.
"Valentinus was
the first to invent three
hypostases and three persons of
the Father,
Son and
Holy Spirit, and he is discovered to have filched
this from Hermes and
Plato."- Marcellus of Ancyra
Valentinian Gnosticism professed
Æon - the Father,
Sophia - the Mother, and
Logos - the
Son.
Teaching professed by
Hellenized Hebrews at the time of
Saul of Tarsus proclaims
Æon the Father,
Shekhinah female aspect of Æon and
the Law.
At the time of
Jesus the Tannaim the
Hellenized Hebrews saw the Greeks were
superior in philosophy
and knowledge and chose to emulate them.
Naturally as, after all, the
Greeks had conquered the known world.
They had become
apostate to the
Yahweh mythology of Moses and had
begun adding elements of Greek
polytheism, numerology and
astrology to
the original patriarchal
monotheistic religion through the use of
exegesis.
Come,
Sustainer of the Eternal
Soul.
Give
everyone rest from effort,
respite from hard
labor,
extinguish pain in moments of fire,
release the joy that dries
up
tears and
comforts sorrows.
Enter the deepest depth
of the soul,
O ḦṍḸẙ ṦṕḯṝḭṰ,
O Divine Sophia,
enwrap it.
Look at
the emptiness within
without your presence.
Recognize
spiritual
c✡rrupti✡n without your breathe.
Water the
dry Earth of the
Eternal Soul,
heal
the wounded heart,
wash souls clean of
spiritual c✡rrupti✡n,
place
the warmth of life back in
hardened hearts,
domesticate
uncontrollable egos,
guide them when the way is
confusing.
"As his consort, she was regarded as the queen of
Heaven
and wore the sun-disk in her headress." - David Magie1
(Live August 21st, 1976)
The symbol
of Sophia, the white dove,
represents spirit
descending.
Sophia wears a crown of stars to
indicate her divinity.
Sophia, the Mother, unites the
Father and Child.
Sophia is the Knowledge of the Way
of Nurture.
Sophia, the
Mother of Creation, is Wisdom Incarnate.
Hagia
Sophia in Istanbul is a wonder of the ancient world.
Sophia, the Holy Spirit, is
the Source of the
Strength of the
Creator.
Applying intellectual knowledge based on
reason requires moving beyond following instructions based upon a general rule
or calculated specific rules.
Pondering intellectual
knowledge engages emotional knowledge
possessed.
Examination of emotional
response increases emotional
self-knowledge.
Intellectual knowledge then
increases general knowledge in a
feedback loop.
Emotional
self-awareness allows us to become intuitively reflectively aware of the
truth by starting from acquired
relational knowledge and
proceeding through emotional reflection to
ever increasing
awareness of true
knowledge.
The most fundamental level of
true knowledge has
layers and layers of both intellectual concepts and
emotional knowledge
superimposed endlessly upon foundational concepts and
ideas with
cultural and
cosnciousness overlays.
Truth is an
accurate reflection of
true knowledge; certainly of
possibilities.
Beyond the
intellectual
knowledge of reason, beyond
emotional knowledge of the
understanding of emotional
response, lies the
veiled realm of clear true knowledge which involves
immediate
cognition of reality without
analysis.
"In thee ears heareth,
the
Word,
in thee eyes
envisioneth
the Spirit,
in thee heart toucheth
the
Soul
and observe these
differ not one from the other;
and the union of these is Life."
Hermes Mercurius
Trimegistus

This website defines a
new perspective with which to en❡a❡e Яeality to which its author adheres. The
author feels that the faλsification of reaλity outside personal
experience has forged a populace unable to discern pr☠paganda from
reality and that this has been done purposefully by an internati☣nal
c☣rp☣rate cartel through the agents who wish to foist a corrupt
version of reaλity on the human race. Religious intolerance occurs when
any group refuses to tolerate religi☯us practices, religi☸us
beliefs or persons due to the religi⚛us ide⚛l⚛gy. This web
site marks the founding of a system of philºsºphy nªmed the
Mŷsterŷ of the Lumière Infinie - a ra☨ional
gnos☨ic mys☨ery re☦igion based on reaso🐍 which
requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme leader, no church
buildings and in which each and every individual is encouraged to develop a
pers∞nal relati∞n with Æ∞n through the pursuit of the
knowλedge of reaλity in the cu☮ing the spi☮itual
co☮☮uption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of the
Mŷsterŷ of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on
this web site by the author. Vi☬lent acts against individuals due to the
religi☸us beliefs in America is considered a "hate
¢rime."
This web site in no way condones violence. To the contrary
the intent here is to reduce the vi☬lence that is already occurring due
to the internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartels desire to control the
human race. The internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartel already
controls the world economic system, c☸rp☸rate media
w☸rldwide, the global industrial military entertainment complex and is
responsible for the coλλapse of moraλs, the eg●
w●rship and the destruction of gl☭bal ec☭systems.
Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation with
bi☣hazards at the point of a gun.
American social mores and values
have declined precipitously over the last century as the internati☣nal
c☣rp☣rate cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests
in the ability to deceive the populace in general through
c✡rp✡rate media by press☟ng em☠ti☠nal
butt☠ns which have been πreπrogrammed into the
πoπulation through prior c✡rp✡rate media
psych☣l☣gical ☣perati☣ns. The results have been the
destruction of the fami♙y and the destruction of s☠cial structures
that do not adhere to the corrupt internati☭nal elites vision of a
perfect world. Through distra¢tion and ¢oer¢ion the
dir⇼ction of th✡ught of the bulk of the p☠pulati☠n has
been direc⇶ed ⇶oward s↺luti↻ns proposed by the corrupt
internati☭nal elite that further consolidates the power and which further
the purposes.
