Having a personal experience of divinity as the path to salvation, essentially. That experience usually happening through the understanding of (often hidden) spiritual knowledge.

I swear, there's this nasty little cult of fidget-spinning, vaping, fedora'd neckbeards that spam tulpa and lucid dreaming threads, while calling the ancient wisdom of anyone who actually studied religion "garbage".

A mixture of Theosophy and Christianity, basically an attempt to insert ancient mystery religions into the Christian teachings.

There's "The Jesus Mysteries" by Freke & Gandy, but I thought it was worse than "Chariots of The Gods?"

Nope, I was an edgy atheist and then looked into gnositicsm as well for a while, took a while to get past the deception in it.
This one passage really hit home for me, setting me up on the right path of discovery
>For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.(John 3:32 KJV)

You can give them irrefutable hard evidence and they would screech "RP!" til their semen-coated throats were ripped.
Also, my hometown has the subject matter of your image all in it and has for a long time.

Basically gnosticism is the idea that there are a bunch of powerful spirit beings, called Demiurges. the Judeo-Christian God is supposedly the most "powerful" of these, however there are others. read a wikipedia article, my dude.

When you understand the occult just means hidden, all the other spooky paranormal activity of finding skeletons, and abandoned caves can be explained logically. It's some scary shit out there, but it's all real. Reality is based on your perspective, most people will never wake up. That's why most people never bought into pizza gate or pedogate or bought the Franklin coverup, no matter how much evidence you bring them, unless it's on mainstream media, they won't believe it.

Christianity is cancer. Period. Religion is cancer. Every religious person is predictable, that's the whole point.
I was raised christian. At the age of 20 I became a Satanist and joined the military. After that I started to study psychology. Of course it is wise to know the inns of all religions, for there are many religious peeps out there, but to follow one is a waste of freedom. To many obligations and rules. There are gems to be found in all types of spiritual scriptures, but true power, wisdom and freedom can only be found when we neglect to you-may-nots and experience as much in life as you can. Be unpredictable, uncontrollable and let it be known, so that privacy is of no concern. Then you will become untouchable and enjoy life to it's fullest potential. Be aware that ever step has consequences, so don't go shitting on everybody, nobody likes that and they will show you how they feel about it. Respect life and life will respect you back. Enjoy all arts, for in the arts the true spirit of mankind is hidden. In paintings, literature, music, sculptures and dance. All artists feel the need to express the feelings they have and sometimes have to hide because society can be a hypocrite. But most of all, give and find warmth, love and compassion among all the living, they are the true essence of life, in the full meaning of the word.
