SECOND THOUGHTS ON GNOSTICISM.

In a previous essay on Gnosticism, it was proposed that the Godhead is like equilibrium, immovable and anti-life. On that basis I claimed to be an anti-gnostic.

However, possibly the Godhead or Nirvana is not equilibrium. It may not be Alpha, but Omega – the final point, not the starting point. It may be a White Hole, not a Black Hole. It may be the superconscious, not the unconscious.

Now in the Great Wrap-around Supercycle, which I postulated elsewhere, Alpha and Omega meet at plus or minus infinity. Also, a White Hole (Bose-Einstein condensate) is supersyrometrically transformed into a Black Hole (the Big Bang) at the end of one universe and the beginning of the next universe. And the super-conscious lies just behind one door from the conscious mind, the other door leading to the unconscious workings of the body. Who knows if a secret passage behind the scenes connects the two?

Still, between the White and the Black lies the whole ~ rainbow of colours” the matter, energy, information, and meaning of the living universe. Spanning from Alpha to Omega lies the creation of Sophia and the Demiurge. I will go for that still. I am still an anti-gnostic. Maybe that is why I have such trouble trying to meditate.
