Templariorum de Vesica Piscis
Maria Magdalena,
gnosticism.

Gnosticism is not a religion but a source of knowledge that explains spiritual matters. It rejects dogmas, doctrines, and rituals, and offers freedom through understanding God and Christ as states of being, not external entities. Gnosticism teaches that insight and knowledge lead to spiritual liberation, without religious control and hierarchy.

The Templars followed their own beliefs, not those of the Roman Church. They sought a life close to God, which often put them in conflict with church dogmas. However, their knowledge and dedication made them true Christians. Although they were ultimately betrayed, their ideology lives on.

Gnosticism and Gnosis are often understood mystically, but they are personal faith paths without dogmas, rooted in ancient wisdom. Jesus' teachings contain Gnostic elements focusing on inner knowledge and redemption, contrasting with the Catholic teachings of sin and atonement.

Gnostic insights arise from knowledge of time and space, with a duality of light (Pleroma) and matter. The Archons rule the material world and attempt to keep humanity captive. Gnosis is a personal quest for liberation from these influences, without rules or structures.

"The Secret Book of James," also known as the Apocryphon of James, is a Coptic manuscript from the Nag Hammadi writings (1945). It contains a letter from James, the brother of Jesus, with a secret revelation he and Peter received from the risen Christ. The text emphasises the importance of Gnostic knowledge and inner preparation for entering the Heavenly Kingdom.

"The Secret Book of John," also known as the Apocryphon of John, is a Gnostic scripture from the Nag Hammadi writings (1945). It contains profound mythological stories and survives in four Coptic manuscripts. The text is essential within the Gnostic tradition, especially in Sethianism.

The "state of consciousness" is a spiritual condition in which one is no longer influenced by negative forces that control the soul. Achieving this state requires deep self-insight and soul purification, freeing one from earthly illusions and Archontic influences.

Aeons are impersonal forces. Archons, arising from Aeons, influence us invisibly through sins such as pride and greed. Religion binds humanity through original sin; Gnosticism preaches freedom. It is crucial to recognise and resist Archontic influences for true freedom.

Abraxas Panthea, a magical formula in Greek Gnosticism, combines cosmic and spiritual symbols. Abraxas, symbol of creation and the universe, represents the entire cycle of the year (365 days) and is often depicted as a being with a rooster's head, serpent legs, and sacred attributes.

The Templars are one of the most well-known medieval orders, often portrayed in books and films. Their bravery, piety, and mystery are both admired and criticised. Although women were officially not allowed in the order, recent discoveries show that women like Ermenegarda of Olula still played a role in this mysterious world.

In traditional societies, numbers and figures have symbolic meanings. They serve as tools to understand cosmic and spiritual connections. Numbers such as 3, 8, and 9 represent universal principles and ritual values within religious and esoteric contexts and are essential to the harmony between heaven and earth.

The term "Baphomet" played a crucial role in the accusations against the Templars. According to Bernard Marillier, "Baphomet" originally referred to a corruption of the name Mohammed, used in medieval Occitan language. Marion Melville suggests it was a symbolic representation, possibly a relic bust, misinterpreted as an idol.
