Gnostic Reformation, Clear and Simple

Welcome back to Gnostic Insights and to the Gnostic Reformation on Substack. Today’s episode is the last installment of my interview with Bishop Nathan Wilson of The Gnostic Union. Brother Nathan continues with his illustration of how correct translation of the original Koine Greek of the New Testament changes the way we may interpret Biblical scripture more precisely. The translations he shares c...

Welcome back to Gnostic Insights and to the Gnostic Reformation on Substack. We’re continuing this week with part three of my long interview with Bishop Nathan Wilson of the Gnostic Union. We don’t usually talk about this sort of thing here at Gnostic Insights, and so this is a special treat for those of you who like this sort of thing. This week we’re going to hear Brother Nathan speaking about w...

Welcome back to Gnostic Insights and to the Gnostic Reformation on Substack. Last week was part one of my interview with Bishop Nathan Wilson of the Gnostic Union, and he explained to us a bit about who the Gnostic Union is and what they believe in. At the beginning of that episode, I read from the Gnostic Union website their history and mission statement. And my brother Billy called me up and sai...

Welcome back to Gnostic Insights and to the Gnostic Reformation on Substack. This week I interviewed Bishop Nathan Wilson of the Gnostic Union, and it was a good long interview, so I’ll be breaking it up probably into three segments for the next three weeks here. Bishop Wilson earned a diploma of ministry from The Gnostic Catholic Union, and then he later went on to create The Gnostic Union, and h...

Welcome back to Gnostic Insights and to the Gnostic Reformation on Substack. This week, we’re going to follow up on last week’s episode, which was called Gnostic Pentecost, and that was first broadcast on the 6th of June, 2026 . I have a lot more examples out of the New Testament of the Bible about Pentecost, and as we learned last week, Pentecost is what we’ve been calling the coming of the Third...

Welcome back to Gnostic Insights and to the Gnostic Reformation on Substack. This week I was listening to one of the radio preachers I like to listen to and I caught a sermon on the Pentecost, and I realized I had at that point a Gnostic insight that Pentecost, the coming of the Holy Spirit, when it infused the disciples in the upper room—that is the coming of the Third Order of Powers released by...

Every once in a while I like to go back and share with you the original scriptures out of the Tripartite Tractate of the Nag Hammadi from which I derive these teachings. So this week will be scripture-heavy. Don’t worry if the language is unwieldy or unfamiliar. You’ll get the hang of it. The original economy was that of the hierarchy of the Fullness, wherein every Aeon knew its place, position, a...

Yesterday, my Hindi tech services guy asked me whether or not Gnosis is Christian. It seems like it should be a simple question. Is Gnosticism Christian? I explained to him that I certainly think that Christian Gnosticism is Christian, fully. And in fact, I believe it’s true Christianity—that Jesus was Gnostic, that John the Baptist was Gnostic. But what does that mean? Most of the Christians, pre...

Welcome back to Gnostic Insights. Today we are going to look at what is called “The Army of the Christ.” Saying that Christ comes into the cosmos with an army is a rather strange way of labeling Christ. It gives rise to the same misunderstanding that caused the first century Jews to expect a mighty, war-faring Christ to ride in on a white stallion accompanied by a legion of warrior angels ready to...

Gnosis means knowing, and to be a Gnostic means that you are one who knows. It may appear as though I am spit-balling all of this. I’m not. I’m taking it out of an ancient scripture called the Tripartite Tractate. But more than that, I’m deriving a lot of this information through contemplation and direct communication with the Father and the Fullness of God. That is something that every person can...

Let’s talk about pleromas. Pleroma is a common word in gnostic scriptures, and it has a particular meaning that only relates to Gnosticism. Today, I’d like to take another look at pleromas because they describe the flow of consciousness from the origin and tell us where we all came from, where we are, and where we will wind up at the end of days. I know that when I run through these various plerom...

Welcome back to Gnostic Insights and to the Gnostic Reformation on Substack. I’ve been sharing these Gnostic Insights for a few years now, and I’ve discovered that the one topic that flares people up, the most controversial aspect of Gnosticism, doesn’t really have anything to do with the nature of God, or the Archons, or where we go after we die. Believe it or not, Darwinian evolution is the thin...

Today we’re going to talk about how the Aeons of the Fullness of God were generated. And the reason we talk about the Aeons so much is because we are downstream from the Aeons. We are representatives of all of the traits of the Aeons—we second-order powers, and we humans in particular, since I am a human talking to other humans here. So everything I say about the Aeons and how they relate to the F...

On today’s episode, we’re going to talk some more about fractal stories and archetypes. These fractal stories make up our lives. We have very little original material in our lives. It’s as if we are each a character in a play. And this play was written by the Aeons of the Fullness before time began. These are archetypal stories. And when Logos fell and broke open all these stories into the world,...

There will be a tipping point when all of us second-order powers believe in the mission of the Christ, which brings us the salvation and remembrance of the Fullness and the Son and the Father. The Christ comes to us all. Jesus, the Christ, was the first incarnation of Christ here on the Earth. But whenever one of us accepts the Christ, it comes into us the same way it inhabited Jesus, although the...

Welcome back to Gnostic Insights and to the Gnostic Reformation on Substack. Last week, I had a good conversation on the telephone with my brother that I thought I’d share that with you today. It’s another aspect of what I call Gnostic Psychology that my brother Bill, Dr. Bill Puett, and I have been developing. He wanted to share with me an article about psychopathy and his Gnostic insight about t...

A lot of people are stuck in the muck. There are so many cravings and attachments down here. Cravings for sex, drugs, social media, whatever the thing is. Even popular culture is something that people get stuck in. You have to conform. You have to dress just so. Your hair has to be just so. These are all attempts at happiness, right? I mean, most people want to be happy. And generally you feel tha...

I had the children’s book converted into an animation, set to my narration of a previous episode. Here’s the audio only link of that previous episode. Same material. The animation is alright, but I bet that within a few months AI will have developed to the point where the animation would be quite a bit more polished. We did the best we could with the tools at hand. I hope you enjoy this experiment...

Welcome back to Gnostic Insights and to the Gnostic Reformation on Substack. First I have to tell you, what was lost has been found. I went back to White City VA yesterday and had an acupuncture treatment. And on my way out of the building, I saw a maintenance man, a custodian at his cart with his broom. I thought to myself, well, if anybody should be able to find something, it would be this guy....

Last week, I started talking about the nature of this Gnostic Reformation that I’m describing here. It turns out that the approach to Gnosticism that I am sharing with you here at Gnostic Insights is a reformation of what is understood to be Gnosticism. If you haven’t listened to last week’s episode yet, it would be really good for you to start there. Go back and listen to or read the episode call...

I occasionally get comments from people that the Gnosticism I’m sharing with you here at Gnostic Insights is different than the Gnosticism they’re accustomed to or the Gnosticism they see elsewhere on the internet. And that is very true, and that is why the Substack is called the Gnostic Reformation . This Gnosticism that I’m sharing with you—yes, it comes out of my own personal gnosis. It is a co...

Welcome back to Gnostic Insights. I’m going to do my best to wrap up this review of David Bentley Hart’s book, That All Shall Be Saved, Heaven, Hell, and Universal Salvation. And I hope you understand, particularly those of you who are Christians that are listening to this, that I do all of this in the name of the Father. It’s not to tear down Christianity. It’s to uphold the mission of the Messia...

Welcome back to Gnostic Insights. Today is part three of my book report on David Bentley Hart’s book called That All Shall Be Saved, Heaven, Hell, and Universal Salvation. The past two weeks we covered the beginning of his book, the Introduction. I’m going to begin this section by reading out of his final remarks, because he does a good job of simplifying his arguments here at the end of the book....
