Neoplatonism Trumps All 02/06/18 (Tue) 13:32:54 No. 115572
So i’ve spent time researching faiths and searching for truth and came to this conclusion
Islam = Debunked by the Gog and Magog story
Judaism = Debunked by fossils showing life existed longer than 6000 years
Christianity = *see Judaism*
Gnosticism = Bunch of Copied and Syncretized bollocks
New Age = Garbage, spiritual colonialism
Buddhism = Liberal cucks fetish
Taoism = Liberal cucks fetish
Hinduism = Sophisticated Liberal cucks fetish
Neopaganism = MMORPG
So in the end I’ve settled on Neoplatonism
Is there something I didn’t research, have you guys any opinions on Neoplatonism, let me know!

did you read the bible ?
book of enoch?
apocryphes?
i believe the son of god is truly the way but the names and background knowledge has been hidden and twisted
some people belief for example when u have faith in jesus youre gonna be resuced 100%
but other parts of the bible speak of doing the will of the father
and faith without works isnt really lived faith or?
so there seem to be several dangerous doctrines which can also lead into eternal damnation because of ((ignorance)) and lazyness

The truth is exactly what you make of it.
All these "religions" are mythologies/archtypes/ways to describe existence.
They are all different takes on the same thing. Your outright dismissal of all of them deserves a fedora tip.
Nearly every one of them has the ultimate truth embedded into them. It is unspeakable.

All of those religions have a common perennial root that can be found by sifting through the layers of bullshit mortals have placed onto them. The truth can be found by adhering to any of those systems if you put a lot of effort into it, but it's best to believe what your ancestors believed in because their faith is in greater harmony with your spiritual essence.

Neoplatonism is a joke to follow solely. You'd benefit highly from absorbing gnostic thought into your belief system.

Obviously I can interpret truth into everything there is if I want to but I don’t care about what people made up I want truth or at least something that can’t be debunked

You illustrated my point for me. Reality is malleable around the system you choose or create (willingly or not).
"Find your truth" isn't a cliche for nothing. This is the essence of magick. Reality bends to your will with the right techniques. They are all embedded in these systems.

No no no..
There exists truth which is what it is
There exist then people’s opinions which is what they feel
Both are not the same
I don’t think there is much valuable truth in everyone’s opinions only specific ones, like that of the real actual Jesus

You're not understanding me, but that's ok. You will in short time.
Stop looking so hard. You'll know it when it hits you. It's inside of you.
Jesus is an archetype. He represents the truth you are seeking.
When I say reality is malleable, that is exactly what I mean. There is no "one truth". Truth is an experience. When you experience it, you too will fail to describe it to anyone else such that it describes their cosmology. Yet it will be your deepest and most profound truth.

But Jesus was a fringe practitioner as well, and faced constant persecution for his new age beliefs. Have you read any of the gnostic gospels? The Book of Thomas alone has quotes from Jesus that weren't put in the bible. You're implying you don't trust anybodies opinion but specific people who had transcended, yet are unwilling to develop your own belief system because you don't trust any sources other than the ones you already have faith in. Why are you here?

Jesus is the Way, not an “archetype” for anything other than the way, I accept Buddhists from Asia that grew up there you know it’s cool follow your ancestors and maybe you WILL escape from suffering but for me the end of suffering is Jesus, not just believing though, because people who just believe in Jesus are believing in the nonscientific Drug-Fictions of Moses too and I reject that

I am in the process of reading the Nag Hammadi works, but I don’t accept bollocks that is easily debunked OR which is not culturally related to my culture at all and yes I can find thoughts similar to that of Eastern religions in the orient and occident

The problem with tapping into the qabbalah or trinity imo is that there's a medium in controlling the metaphysical, whereareas with a development of your own spiritual belief system gathered from tested and tried esoteric practices can need to more personal fullfillment and control of the world and it's perception.

Taoism, Brahmanism, Kabbalism, Sufism and Christianity according to Master Eckhart, Böhme, Augustinus and Dionysius Areopagita are structurally equivalent to Neoplatonism. A dialectical monistic principle permeates all of that which have beings in a trancendentalistic way. The illusionary distinction between self and no-self can be suspended.
The One = Tao = Brahman = Ayn Sof = Tauhīd = God = Toetl = absolute nonduality
Neoplatonism and philosophical Taoism aren't so filigreed but Taoism shines in its timeless practical advises.

>Marcionism was an Early Christian dualist belief system that originated in the teachings of Marcion of Sinope at Rome around the year 144.[1]
>Marcion believed Jesus was the savior sent by God, and Paul the Apostle was his chief apostle, but he rejected the Hebrew Bible and the God of Israel. Marcionists believed that the wrathful Hebrew God was a separate and lower entity than the all-forgiving God of the New Testament. This belief was in some ways similar to Gnostic Christian theology; notably, both are dualistic, that is, they posit opposing gods, forces, or principles: one higher, spiritual, and "good", and the other lower, material, and "evil" (compare Manichaeism). This dualism stands in contrast to other Christian and Jewish views that "evil" has no independent existence, but is a privation or lack of "good",[2] a view shared by the Jewish theologian Moses Maimonides.[3]
This one is sounding correct to me

I'm a follower of Plato and Plotinus as well and I'd like to share this with you. The timeless doctrine we have is not limited to a particular faith, dogma or sect, a Christian or a Buddhist or Muslim can reach the height of the beautiful mountain (or at least get very close to the top) if they practice the esoteric/internal aspect of their own faith diligently. Since what matters is the pursuit of virtue and the seeking of God (the One) anyone who follows an orthodox faith, who purifies themselves and meditates//prays often already has the potential for uniting with the One.
Here's an anecdote about Plotinus and Origen recounted by his student, Porphyry. Origen was a christian theologian yet Plotinus had great admiration for him.

"Neoplatonism" isn't a faith. The Neoplatonists were "pagans", then many famous Christians, Jews, and Muslims were Neoplatonists as well. You can be a Neoplatonist and practice any religion. Religion is tradition/culture and the exoteric of it is a necessary component of society as it leads the hylics to God and virtue.
