Gnostic Reformation, Clear and Simple

As we delve deeper and deeper into gnostic cosmogony and cosmology I feel the need to remind you that this information is what gnosis is all about. This information represents the long-hidden knowledge that has been guarded from all but those specially designated the privilege of seeing it. Here at Gnostic Insights we believe that gnosis is written on every person’s inner being, and therefore avai...

Welcome back to Gnostic Insights and the Gnostic Reformation on Substack. This week we’re going to review one of the basic original teachings here at Gnostic Insights, and that is how what we call the Fullness or the Pleroma of God—how it came to be, what it is, what does it mean when the New Testament, for example, says the phrase the Fullness of God. For Christians this generally just is an idea...

Death and life are placed before everyone, and people choose for themselves which of these two they want. The soul forgets her siblings and her father, and sensual pleasures and sweet things deceive her. She has abandoned knowledge and has fallen into the life of an animal. A person devoid of sense lives like a beast, not knowing what one should say or should not say. We are to be triumphant over...

Welcome back to Gnostic Insights and the Gnostic Reformation on Substack. I have another treat for you this week, a conversation with my brother Bill and myself concerning what is knowledge? How do we know what is true? This is a field of philosophy known as epistemology. My brother Bill was a philosophy professor. He taught this at the university level for many years. I hope you enjoy this conver...

Welcome back to Gnostic Insights. Today we’re going to revisit the idea of evolution. You know, religious people are usually mocked by being unscientific for not believing in Darwinian evolution. Well, I’m a highly educated person and I don’t believe in Darwinian evolution. It’s an absurd theory that has never been proven. My brother, Dr. Bill Puett, is also a PhD. He’s what’s called a professor e...

Ten years ago, back in July 22nd of 2015, I wrote one of my first articles about Gnosticism on my Simple Explanation blog, and I'm going to read from that for you today. This was very soon after I began to realize that the Orthodox Christianity that I had been strongly embracing for all of my life could be enhanced by this knowledge of Gnosticism. I had been trained up to believe that Gnosticism w...

Apple Podcasts | Amazon Music | TuneIn | Deezer | RSS A recent article called “All Is One” in the online magazine “aeon” presents an excellent overview of the scientific and philosophical schism between what is called “monism” and its dialectical opposite “dualism.” If you are interested in the nature of reality and the history of the argument over wh...

These new creatures that were devised are better than the Deficiency because they come from the union of the entire Fullness, whereas the Deficiency came out of a mistaken solo effort by Logos alone. Out of this union of the Fullness and Logos came what are called the Second Order Powers, and these powers are better and greater than those of the imitation because they did not come into being out o...

Welcome back to the Gnostic Reformation on Substack. Today I thought I would share with you a column from Substack by a friend of mine, Tessa Lena. Her Substack is called Tessa Fights Robots. This column by Tessa is called “ Letter to Future Dissidents, subtitled Don’t Become a Dissident Before Reading This .” Tessa’s article is about the interpersonal challenges of being a dissident, whether we a...

Memes of Jesus pt 2 Welcome back to the Gnostic Reformation on Substack. I'm so glad to have you here with me. I thought this week we'd go ahead and do some more of those Gnostic interpretation of Christian memes so that you can see the differences and similarities between our Gnostic message and the traditional Christian way of interpreting these same Bible verses. I simply went out on the intern...

If you can contribute financially, that would be helpful. I do have ongoing monthly expenses, such as the cost of the media service that hosts and distributes the podcasts. And nowadays, I am attempting to help the book, A Simple Explanation of the Gnostic Gospel, float up into everyone's awareness. Right now, it's hard to find that book, because there are so few reviews. So, if you've read the bo...

Welcome back to Gnostic Insights. I thought it would be fun this week to look at some Christian memes that are posted on the internet, little posters with inspirational sayings. I asked for Bible quotes inspirational from Jesus , and what I'm going to do is read you the quote, and I'll post the meme itself on the transcript of this episode. And I would like to explain to you the Gnostic meaning of...

Welcome back to Gnostic Insights and the Gnostic Reformation. My brother shared with me this week an article that’s published in Scientific American, and I will post the link to that article here. The article is called, Where Does Consciousness Come From? Two Neuroscience Theories Go Head-to-Head . The subtitle is, Two Leading Theories of Consciousness Went Head-to-Head, and the Results May Change...

Today’s episode will discuss the difference between ego and Self. These terms are often used interchangeably, but at least as far as I use them in my writing, the ego is very much different from what we call the Self, and that’s a Self with a capital S. This episode reviews a couple of articles from the Simple Explanation blog from 2018 and 2019 during the time period I began realizing my gnosis a...

In evangelical Christian circles, people have had a born-again experience where they have asked Jesus into their hearts to take over their lives. In our Gnostic terminology, we would say that this is a person’s acknowledgement of the Christ, and an invitation that invites the Third Order of Powers—the pleroma of the Christ—to come into ourselves to correct the mistakes that we have gained through...

Welcome back to the Gnostic Reformation. Today I'd like to share with you an essay that David Bentley Hart recently posted to his Substack site. His Substack site is called Leaves in the Wind by David Bentley Hart. And you know we use Hart's translation of the New Testament here frequently. He's a brilliant man, a wonderful writer. So I'm going to read for you a very good essay that he calls The S...

I have recently taken down my older “New Gnostic Gospel” blog in favor of focusing on GnosticInsights.com and the Gnostic Reformation on Substack . Before taking down the old blog I saved this one article that was first printed in June of 2015. I’m going to go through it with you today to see how this gnosis has held up over the past 10 years. The obvious improvement is the quality of my illustrat...

We share the same values and structure of the Aeons that live in the Fullness of God. Their nature is the same as our nature because we are their fruits. We are fractals of the Fullness of God. My Self’s unit of consciousness is sitting on top of a fractal galaxy of hierarchically arranged units of consciousness, all working together to instantiate my body. While I may believe I am the only consci...

We’re talking this week about what I call units of consciousness. Consciousness is a big topic. Let’s start by thinking of our own consciousness. In Gnosticism we say that there are three different orientations to self-awareness. This is generally called three types of people: the spiritual, the psychological (called psychical), and the material type that is oriented toward their body’s level of a...

Today’s episode is a replay of an episode first posted July 9, 2021. In those early days of the podcast, there were no accompanying transcripts. So here is your first chance to read the transcript of this episode. This episode is about dreams. What are they and how can you go about keeping track of and interpreting your own dreams? I was first trained in dream interpretation back when I was workin...

Last week we talked about the Holy Spirit, what or who it is, and how and why it came to Earth. To review: In Gnostic teaching, there are three kinds of Power that we know of: The First Order of Powers were the original Aeons—that is, the differentiations that are within the Son of God and that coexist with the Son. It’s called the First Order of Powers because the Son is the first and only direct...

Welcome back to the Gnostic Reformation. Today I would like to share some information with you about the Holy Spirit. What is the Holy Spirit? You know, the Holy Spirit is considered part of the Trinity of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. One God, three-in-one, is how the Christians put it. But what does that mean? What is the Holy Spirit to us if we’re seeking gnosis? Jesus said to h...

Welcome back to Gnostic Insights. Last week’s episode was a link to an interview I had just given on Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio. That interview on Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio was called “Gnostic Psychology and Preparing for Death,” and that was posted on January 29, 2025. As we so often do, my brother and I chatted after the interview was posted and after he had had a chance to watch it, and we discussed...

and a conversation with Bill Welcome back to Gnostic Insights. The first half of this episode is about choosing the higher road to find your gnosis, about letting go of the world. In the second half of this episode I was able to put in about 10 minutes of a conversation that my brother and I had following our group Zoom chat the other day, and it has to do with the nature of a guru and the nature...
