The only religions that withstand scrutiny are gnostic in nature, because they recognize the fundamental imprisonment of human perception and the illusory character of the world. Plato’s cave is not a metaphor that can be explained away—it is the human condition itself: beings chained in darkness, mistaking shadows for reality. Simulation theory updates the same insight for the technological age, suggesting our entire cosmos may be a projection governed by forces beyond our comprehension. Buddhism echoes this by pointing out that attachment to the phenomenal world is clinging to a dream, where suffering arises from taking the unreal as real. Unlike dogmatic faiths that demand obedience to external authority, gnostic traditions insist on direct knowledge—gnosis—as the only path to liberation. Dogmatic religions do not liberate—they tighten the chains. They sanctify the walls of the cave, teaching worship of shadows and trust in the puppeteers, preaching loyalty to priests, kings, and states rather than truth. Their rituals, laws, and scriptures bind the soul to repetition rather than awakening, blessing empires and validating worldly power. By contrast, gnostic religions refuse to glorify the prison; they point instead to the falsity of appearances and the possibility of piercing the veil. Salvation lies not in decorating your chains or thanking your jailer, but in seeing the world for what it truly is and breaking free, making gnostic insight the only path consistent with reason, philosophy, and the deepest intuitions of human experience.

Faith is required for ultimate truth.
>>41387742Dogmatic religions aren’t really about faith—they’re about certainty. Real faith means stepping into the unknown, accepting mystery, and living with doubt. But dogmatic systems can’t allow that, because doubt threatens authority. So they replace genuine faith with rigid belief, turning spiritual openness into intellectual submission. Their followers aren’t invited to explore truth but to memorize it, repeat it, defend it. The comfort they sell is not enlightenment but certainty—the warm assurance that the book is complete, the answers final, and the world already explained. It’s a psychological sedative that kills curiosity while pretending to satisfy it.This obsession with certainty is what makes dogmatic faiths perfect tools for power. A person who needs to be right is easy to rule; a person who can live with uncertainty is free. So the state and church align to produce the obedient believer: convinced rather than curious, faithful to the system rather than to truth. Real faith—the kind found in gnostic, mystical, or philosophical traditions—is fearless because it doesn’t cling to fixed answers. It moves through darkness with awareness, not dogma. But institutions can’t survive on that kind of freedom, so they brand certainty as virtue and call doubt a sin. The result is a religion that worships its own walls and calls them heaven.
>>41387604>seeing the world for what it truly is and breaking freeBreak free from what? Gnostics fail to explain this to me.Why should I strive to oppose the said Demiurge and his oppressive archonic institutions of power such as organized religions like Christianity.I for one am satisfied with my role as a slave to Jesus and his church, why should I give those up and "break free"
>>41387604even the fabled cristcucks can tell you that the world is satan or something , I think spirituality is a little bit gnostic or at least could be use for that reason.anon.
Gnosticism is a heresy rejected by anyone with more than half a mind.
>>41387604The only thing that matters in this world, is money.
>>41388013People with more than half a mind are the Gnostics, dumbass.
>>41387604
>>41388124You should read Plato then to understand the actual foundations that midwit larpers got filtered by and misconstrued to create their sad and pathetic gnostic cultsEvery single gnostic larper is a hylicHopefully you can move past this lame little phase in your life
>>41388190Plato was a retard tho. I read The Republic and it was terrible. His thoughts are scattered and lines of logic are unclear. His theory of forms is also lacking substance compared to Hinduism’s descriptions. Plato is overrated.
>>41387814You ate not satisfied. You are content and conformes. The more you feel like so in this realm, the less will power you'll have during limbo to reach the higher realm once your current body expires. Then you'll want to reincarnate in the hopes that in the next iteration in this realm you can somehow harness the power and knowledge to reach the higher realm once that body expires. Good luck, my fraternal singularity fragment.
>>41387604Ok but they lose me when they say everything is metaphorical and not fact based. Because mantids and greys are really leaping as faggot light beings to keep us reincarnated after they memory wipe us.

Gnostics are spiritual bums whose radical dualism literally blinds them to the truth. They speak of an evil demiurge, of a prison, of escaping from matter—all while failing to grasp that there is no matter, only levels and states of being. They do not understand that there is nowhere to run, and nothing to run from. Everything is interconnected and interdependent. Such is the Law.>>41388190 This.
>>41387604Thanks for the love, anon. Don't mind the dumb christians who shit on every thread infecting it with their mind virus called christianity.
>>41387814>I for one am satisfied with my role as a slave to Jesus and his church, why should I give those up and "break free"If you are satisfied with your condition of slavery then there's nothing wrong with it. If you are content then you are content. But some of us are not happy with our condition of slaves and we want to be freed.
>>41387742True faith is based on understanding, not dogmatic belief.
>>41388913^ another hylic who got filtered by the initiation myth
>>41387604>>41387776TRVTH NVKE
>>41387742>Pistis and SophiaFaith is involved because it is tied to intuition. The unconscious knowledge (intuition) of your true spiritual self is brought forth into the conscious mind to become knowledge of your true spiritual self.So you re member yourself like Osiris.
