The Knights of Seth were a 19th century United Kingdom British Germany German Neo Sethian group that attempted to resurrect medieval Gnostic and dualistic Christian ideas. While achieving a certain popularity among wealthy young Englishmen in the 1850s, the Knights never gained considerable influence and were by many considered a mere gentlemen s club rather than a religious movement. Apart from a handful of members in Edinburgh and Berlin , the group presently appears to be almost extinct. The group is sometimes referred to by its Latin name Ordo Equester Sethiani. Core beliefs Like the gnostics , the Knights of Seth believe that there is a true God and a false one. The latter is known as the demiurge . According to gnostic tradition the demiurge created the world. In doing so, the demiurge Classical Ancient Greek Greek for craftsman creator carried out an order of the true god. The malevolent demiurge, which sometimes goes by the name of Yaldabaoth , then usurped the true god s position. According to the Ordo Equester, Adam s third son Seth was a messiah who could get in touch with the true god and acted as his herald, thwarting the plans of the evil demiurge. The Knights believe that seven prophets will deliver various teachings to humanity. These will then enable men to experience the true, hidden god. This allegedly requires studying different religions and meditation, resulting in a process of recognition gnosis , Greek language for knowledge .

An intelligible form in philosophy refers to a substantial form form that can be apprehended by the intellect. According to Ancient Philosophy Ancient and Medieval Philosophy Medieval philosophers , the intelligible forms are the things by which we understand. Aristotle See also On the Soul The concept of the form as being what makes knowledge possible dates back to the time of Socrates . Aristotle is credited with making the distinction that led to the idea of the intelligible form. He argued that the mind is divided into the active intellect active and passive intellect , where the passive intellect receives the forms of things in order to be known, and the active intellect then turns possible knowledge into knowledge in act. ref Aristotle, De Anima , Bk. III, ch. 5 430 sup a sup 10 25 . ref Plotinus According to Plotinus , the power of the Demiurge the craftsman of the cosmos is derived from the power of thought. When the demiurge creates, he governs the purely passive nature of matter by imposing a sensible form, which is an image of the intelligible forms contained as thoughts within the mind of the Demiurge, upon the pure passivity of matter. The form establishes its existence in the sensible realm merely through the thought of the Demiurge, which is nous . ref http www.iep.utm.edu p plotinus.htm Plotinus at the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy Retrieved on May 15, 2009 ref Aquinas In chapter 81 of the Compendium Theologiae, Saint Thomas Aquinas states that the higher an intellectual substance is in perfection, the more universal are the intelligible forms it possesses. Of all the intellectual substances, consequently, the human intellect, which we have called possible, has forms of the least universality. This is the reason it receives its intelligible forms from sensible things. He further states that a form must have some proportion to the potency which receives it. Therefore, since of all intellectual substances man s possible intellect is found to be t ... more details

Unreferenced date December 2009 italictitle The Flight to Lucifer is the only novel by the American literary critic Harold Bloom born 1930 in New York . Published during 1979, it was composed as a sequel to the David Lindsay novelist David Lindsay novel A Voyage to Arcturus , which supplied the concept of a voyage through space to a distant planet created by a demiurge , and a few other incidental features of the book. However, most of its content derives fairly directly from Gnosticism , which Bloom had studied. Bloom has stated that he does not like the novel and has disowned it, although it has received very positive reviews from other sources. Relationship to Lindsay s novel In Lindsay s novel, two men, the passionate giant Maskull and the thin, intense Nightspore, are taken from Earth to the planet Tormance by Krag, a mysterious figure who is a residue of the true godhead , Muspel, unassimilated by the false creations of Tormance s demiurge , Crystalman. Bloom s novel reproduces this formula, but with names drawn directly from the history and cosmology of Gnosticism. Maskull becomes Thomas Perscors through fire , and is explicitly identified as an incarnation of Adam Kadmon Primal Man . Nightspore s correlate is Seth Valentinus, a reincarnation of the gnostic theologian Valentinus . Their guide is tikkun olam Olam , who is an Gnosticism Aeons Aeon , an emanation of the true god. The planet Lucifer is controlled by demiurge Saklas , which is a Gnostic name for the false creator. Olam has brought Perscors to Lucifer to fight Saklas, and has brought Valentinus so he can remember his true self this is also drawn from Lindsay. However, the details of their adventures are quite different, and in the end Perscors cripples Saklas and changes the order of things across all of Lucifer, whereas Nightspore s victory is merely to escape the clutches of Crystalman and see reality as it is, though he vows to return to the world and free others.

Rethinking Gnosticism An Argument for Dismantling a Dubious Category ISBN 0 691 00542 7 , is a 1999 book by Michael Allen Williams. This is one of the first critical works that goes about comparing the established academic definitions of gnosticism to the now acquired Nag Hammadi library Nag Hammadi texts. The main points of the book are that there is no established definition of gnosticism by people who use the term, let alone the academic world and that the groups referred to as gnostic by the Christian church apologist s referred to themselves often by their leader or leaders names but no group referred to themselves as gnostic or gnostics . Also, Williams mentions the argument that none of the groups labeled gnostic shared a common set of beliefs that put them in a group together. The only things close to this would be the Christian heresiographical use of referring to these varied groups as gnostics . As well as the varied set of interruptions of the creator of the material world Yahweh or demiurge by these early groups. Finally Williams clarifies that the ancient gnosticism of the Nag Hammadi groups and the misused gnosticism of moderns groups and academia have little if anything in common. Williams suggests a better and more adequate term for these heresy heretical groups would be biblical demiurge demiurgical traditions .

Gnosticism The Coptic Apocalypse of Paul is one of the texts of the New Testament apocrypha found amongst the Nag Hammadi library . The text is not to be confused with the Apocalypse of Paul , which is unlikely to be related. It was mentioned by Epiphanius of Salamis Epiphanius as having been the work of the Cainites , who viewed Cain as the Messiah since, in their view, the Old Testament God , whom they named Demiurge Yaltabaoth , was evil. The Gnostic text describes the ascent of Paul through various stages of Heaven, with Yaltabaoth described as an old man on a throne attempting to prevent further ascent. A soul that fails to have the knowledge gnosis required to defeat Yaltabaoth here, is sent back, in the vision, to be Reincarnation reincarnated .

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Orphan date December 2009 Physitheism is the attribution of a physical form and attributes to deities , a practice associated with the ancient Greeks and to a lesser extent the Ancient Rome Romans . In modern Jewish and Christian theology the Abrahamic God is held to be a transcendence religion transcendent spirit with no body parts. However, a vestige of physitheism is apparent in certain passages of the Hebrew Bible such as Book of Exodus Exodus 33 23 where God tells Moses , And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts but my face shall not be seen. God is also described in a manner similar to a physical person in Genesis 3 8, And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. Such apparently Physitheistic verses are a matter of controversy the early followers of Gnosticism considered them evidence that the Judeo Christian god was in fact an imperfect demiurge , wholly separate from the higher, transcendental God.

The Severians were a sect of gnostic Encratites . Epiphanius of Salamis Epiphanius supposes their leader Severus Encratite Severus to have preceded Tatian founder of Encratites but Eusebius , Theodoret , and Jerome make him Tatian s successor. These latter authorities are followed by most ecclesiastical historians, and the silence of Irenaeus and Hypolitus regarding Severus renders the later date most probable. Ephiphanius ascribes to the Severians a belief in the well known Gnostic power Demiurge Ialdaboth Yaldabaoth who appears in the Ophites Ophite system as the first offspring of Bythus and Ennoia . The Severians held that Ialdaboth was a great ruler of the powers, that from him sprung the Devil that the Devil being cast down to the earth in the form of the serpent produced the vine, whose snake like tendrils indicate its origin that the Devil also created woman and the lower half of man. ref Dictionary of Sects, Heresies, Ecclesiastical Parties, John Henry Blunt ref See also Gnosticism References reflist Category Gnosticism pt Severianismo ... more details

The Epistle of the Corinthians to Paul is a work from the New Testament apocrypha , and originally formed part of the Acts of Paul , though it was later detached and circulated separately. This writing claims to describe the teachings of Simon Magus , including the ideas that God was not almighty, that the Resurrection of Jesus resurrection was false, that Christ was not truly bodily incarnated God i.e. Docetism , that angels made the world see Demiurge , and that the prophets were inaccurate. A response to this letter from Paul also appears in the Acts of Paul and is known as the Third Epistle to the Corinthians . Such an appeal to combat heresy is likely the work of an orthodox forger, attempting to create a biblical basis for their counter arguments to their docetic and gnosticism gnostic enemies. Despite having been widely recognised as forgeries in ancient times, for a period this Epistle and its response appeared in the Armenian Apostolic Church Armenian Bible .
