From that came Yin and Yang or male and female or whatever you want to call the two opposing forces of positive and negative energy, not as in good and bad, but just opposing forces like on a magnet. Why and how these came to be, we will never know, and to be honest, our little human brain probably could not understand, so don’t waste time and energy thinking about it. Rather, put all your effort into fixing the broken machine you are.
From the two forces came all the material universe (stars and planets etc.) and the myriad gods and angels that govern everything in the material universe. I am just explaining this so you have an understanding of what you really are, and this much information is required for that purpose.
The god that created this world and universe, in Gnostic teaching, is called Yaldaboath, the demiurge. He saw that he was not the ultimate power, but that there are the two forces and the Original Beginning above him. He did not like that, as he is very arrogant – just like the god in the Old Testament, of which, Yaldaboath, or Yahweh, is the god of those religions.
Every teaching has its own name for him, so let’s just use Yaldaboath. He created many lesser gods and because Yaldaboath has an ego and wants to stay in power and feel confident that no one can depose him, he stole some of the divine energy from his creator and split it into fragments which are called human souls.
The gods feed off of the energy that is trapped within us, as one teaching says; this world is a prison for the Light.
The ultimate end goal for a human is to awaken to their true nature. In case your ego is telling you that you must help others, just ignore that. You cannot help someone who is drowning if you cannot swim.
The lesser gods then created religions that tell us to be fruitful and multiply so that we would create more and more humans which means more and more energy for them.
If a human awakens to the reality that they are not an individual separate self, but in fact, we all are essentially that divine energy, and therefore one with every other being in creation, we would attain the power of the Original God, which means we are more powerful than the lesser gods, and that means they cannot feed off your energy anymore.
They do not like that, and as many teachings, the old testament (Adam and Eve) Buddhism, Hinduism, Gnostic, Hermetica, Greek mythology, so many others all say the same thing, that the gods do not want humans to awaken because they need these human animals to serve their purpose.
The way that they feed off of us is through our prayers and devotions. Whenever you’re begging God for something or praising God, that is their food. The quality of that food is relative to the intensity of your emotion in the prayer. The more emotionally charged, the better the nutritional value. This means that a negative, painful, suffering emotion is more powerful than a loving one that just wants a new car.
This is why prayer has power to heal or get what you want, if you have enough emotional power in the prayer, relative to your suffering and faith in the power of the energy that you really are. The gods have to give you what you ask if you have that much emotional energy in the prayer, which is like a command with the power of the original god that is within you which is more powerful and can command the gods to do what you want.
They intentionally created this world to be a miserable horrible place filled with suffering and desires so that we have to turn to god, one or the many like in Hinduism, and pray for help to either ease our suffering or deliver what we desire. The greater the pain, the more intense the emotion, the more powerful the spiritual food, and the more chance you will get what you ask for.
And that’s why being human is such a difficult experience and this world is such a horrible place with so much evil and suffering because it’s designed that way to keep us ignorant of our true nature and to keep us praying to the gods so that they keep getting more food and energy and power from us because it’s their creator, the divine energy in us, which is transmitted to them via our prayers which are more powerful if we have intense emotion.
If life is good and smooth and everything is wonderful, you wouldn’t pray and if you do pray you’re not going to do it with very much passion and emotion. But if your life is miserable and you are suffering tremendously, you will have a lot of energy and passion and emotion and begging, begging God and praising God how wonderful God is so that your suffering will be eased.
This explains why we’re here and the purpose a human being plays in the process of this world and why this world has to be mixed with suffering and temptations which are briefly fulfilled which create constant unfulfillable desires.
If you want the pain to end, you have only one choice which is to realise that it is all created, in fact, you are created with an evil intention to be basically a farm animal and a slave and servant, and that you need to awaken to the reality that you are in fact superior to the gods that control our world, and you are essentially made from and therefore part of the original source of all creation, and that means you are one with every other being on this planet. If you can deeply realise this, you would have all the power of God. That realisation should be the only goal and desire you have.
By the way, the Original Beginningless Beginning, the source of all that exists, is just energy. It does not care in the least about this world, in fact, so the teachings say, it shuns this world as a dirty evil place.
This means that if you pray, and think you are praying to the highest source, you are being tricked into praying to Yaldaboath, or Yahweh, or any of the other gods, in the mistaken belief that the original source will hear your prayers and answer them. That is not going to happen.
Buddha never prayed, and Buddha said there is no god (as in the biblical god). So the path is simply meditating, self-reflecting, on the true nature that you are essentially the energy that gives your personality and body life. See the difference between the human you, and the essential you, which is the energy that never dies or is separate from anything else.
Yes, you can have all the things in this world, but do not make them your focus. For example, if you have enough money, home, comforts, then you can stop working as much and put more time into self-reflection and meditation to come to the realisation of your true nature, that you are not just human, but you are something far greater that is trapped within the human form.
Keep rolling that thought around in your head, all the time, every moment you can, and let it grow into a habitual way of thinking.
