RE: Gnostic Dualism vs Nonduality.
Personally, I'm more into secular buddhism right now. It fits well with Aristotelian natural right ethics, Darwinism, and critical rationalism. But always find gnosticism interesting. Really don't like Platonism much though, 'cause I think the concept of universal forms is bad...also why I don't like Christianity. Gnosticism isn't entirely incompatible with secular buddhism though. Sometimes I think if there is a creator, it's probably some alien kid sitting in a classroom programming a simulation for a school project...and we're just living in a simulated universe. But the creator has no bearing on morality or epistemology really, only on creating the code for the simulation (i.e. making the laws of physics for our universe). That's just my speculative metaphysics though. Also, very possible that there is no creator at all and that the laws of physics are just another instance of apparent design where there is none, as we find in biology. Who knows?
Hi! Yup, I get it...the views of science and Buddhism are incredibly compelling and I don't take them lightly. I view it as a type of spiritual naturalism and I'm all for it.
The transcendent God of Gnosticism (if there were one) has 'left the building' leaving humanity to its own device as far as I can tell. There are different possibilities in that regard but I'm not up to that discussion at the moment. I'd only say that if kundalini is the gnosis then it's not very Gnostic as Kundalini yoga teaches the Oneness of all things.
I'm an Agnostic Gnostic for very good reasons and I find it a little ironic that modern nonduality proclaimers are incredible gnostic in their assertions--they could use a little agnosticism with their green tea)D
For now, there is only Man and the State...Or, I should say man/wo and the State? WTF are you talking about that evil entity for on an ANCAP site!:P
and you're missing out on all the fun!
