This is the loneliest path for any human, because it requires an embrace of psychoses, a descent into a place of faith-bound understanding that flows from beyond you, the acceptance of the shaman nature within you, and the humble heart, to accept the yoke of God. And this place is lonely and desolate, a glory bound event, awaited for ages, now appearing, totally ignored, and belittled as the madness of fools.
How do I know the “dividing time” is at hand? I know because there is a place that the Human cannot pass beyond, without bring judgement upon themselves. We have passed that line in fucking with the natural world and with our self-chosen desecration of the Human body, soul and mind.
I am that fool, who through casting away all pretense, has seen the hidden and unknowable things, that are hung like ornaments all around you; yet you cannot perceive them. You see neither the signs or the seasons. A catastrophe for you who have purposely drunk deeply from the draught of evil and sin and the destruction coming for whole societies who celebrate hate and murder.
Over and over again, our spiritual elders, have warned us and urged us to find the true path, the path of love and light, that leads to our Father-Mother. You have laughed and scoffed at them, the holy fools, so caught up in the things that only the heart can perceive. Yet these were the elect ones that tread within your midst, yet you could not see through your clouded eyes, and poisoned and darkened soul. You loved the gain of darkness at the expense of the light of your eternal being, so you shall loose everything, and this is by your own hand, this is by your very own choice. You as the sovereign of yourself, have chosen the abyss, justifying the skirting of right and wrong, with the potential material gain.
This is your condemnation from the God you say you know:
James 5:” Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. 2 Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten. 3 Your gold and silver have rusted, and their rust will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure for the last days. 4 Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. 5 You have lived on the earth in luxury and in pleasure; you have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. 6 You have condemned, you have killed the righteous man; he does not resist you.”
Can’t you comprehend what this verse is saying? It is speaking of you; yes you! And don’t comfort yourself in the ideation that you have time to repent, the verse above is speaking of this very time. It is the time of the glorification of the Elect Children of God, in the presence of those, who loved the world, and were careless in the wielding of evil, who will now watch with tears in their eyes as the Children of God are given their Crowns of Glory and bodies of light.
I know, it is all a great big, silly myth. God is dead, didn’t one of you, Yuval Noah Harari, declare that recently? God is not mocked. Galatians 6:7 “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.” The children of the earth are caught within the net of delusion. cast upon them, by the purveyors of evil, who hope to capture them in order to extract their wealth and the fear that the demons feast upon. So every time that one human causes another human to suffer, they give power and dominion to the demons that feed from their evil acts. Did you not comprehend this fact as you caused the suffering of your brothers and sisters.
You justified it all with the favorite lie of the Human: “They deserved it, they deserved the suffering and death we are bring down upon them, because they are beneath us, they are not of our God, our faith, our blood. They are animals, to be used and exterminated in our pursuit, and the demons have told us we are superior beings. So our God has justified us in our murder and our theft against those that do not believe as we do, because our ideas our superior, we are superior, our society is ordained by God to slaughter and rule.
1 Enoch 49:4 – “And he shall judge the secret things, and none shall be able to utter a lying word before him; for he is the Elect One before the Lord of Spirits according to His good pleasure.
1 Enoch 62:3 –– “On that day, all the kings, the mighty, the exalted, and those who hold the earth will stand, and they shall see and recognize how he sits on the throne of his glory, and how righteousness is judged before him, and no false word is spoken before him.”
I tremble for you as you prepare lying words to speak before the Lord on the day of division. The Lord of Hosts can smell the blood of your brothers and sisters that you have shed, as the mantle of the curse of Cain rests upon your shoulders. Your lust for material gain and power in this world, has led you with hooks in your mouth, to this your final day, as you experience the cold dread of your souls complete destruction.
Repent! Repent now. There is no more time. God, out of His|her deep and abounding love for you, gave you perfect freedom, to become whatever your heart and mind called you to become. Some, seeing the great mercy, love, and gifts of the earth, bowed before God and sought to please Him|Her as they walked among the gift. Always seeking to apprehend the flowing current that connects the Elect Ones with their Father|Mother, those that have drunken long and deep from the nectar of life, that that flows to them from the heart of God. And because of their humble acceptance of their great fortune, in being lifted up by the hand of the Living one, their hearts are filled with gratitude, and out of that gratitude, mercy flows.
These are the Elected One, who also in this moment are being called into the presence of God, to receive their Crowns, their bodies of light, and their inheritance of the new and perfected earth, where God in His|Her glory will dwell among his beloved Children of Light.
Genesis 4: 6 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why are you looking down? 7 Will not your face be happy if you do well? If you do not do well, sin is waiting to destroy you. Its desire is to rule over you, but you must rule over it. 8 Cain told this to his brother Abel. And when they were in the field, Cain stood up against his brother Abel and killed him. 9 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?” And he said, “I do not know. Am I my brother’s keeper?” 10 The Lord said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood is crying to Me from the ground. 11 Now you are cursed because of the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.
My beloved, the time is so short; if you only knew the closeness of your demise, even in this moment you would be falling to your knees or alternatively, you would be standing on your tip-toes, with lips glorifying God.
Father-Mother, in this moment I call upon your heart of love and life, to bring to fulfillment, this your beautiful execution, of the rebirthing of your Children of Light.
Yet what if there were a subset of humanity that we sealed before they entered into the body.
The Elect in Gnosticism vs. Christianity.
In Gnosticism, election is not an act where a distant God randomly selects people from a crowd. Instead, election is determined by a person’s inherent spiritual nature. Gnostics believed that the true self is a divine spark of light trapped inside a physical body created by an inferior god (the Demiurge).
The “elect” are simply those who possess this divine spark from birth and have the capacity to remember their true origin.
1. The Three Types of Humans
Gnostic schools (particularly the Valentinians) divided humanity into three strict categories based on the composition of their soul and spirit:
- The Pneumatics (The Elect): These are the “spiritual” people. They carry the true divine spark (pneuma) from the highest heavenly realm. They are the only ones capable of achieving gnosis (mystical, saving knowledge). Salvation is guaranteed for them because it is their natural state; they just need to wake up and realize it.
- The Psychics (The Soulful): These are people driven by intellect, morals, and traditional religion. They do not possess the divine spark naturally, but they have a regular human soul (psyche). They can achieve a lesser form of salvation through blind faith and good works, but they cannot achieve full spiritual liberation on their own.
- The Hylics (The Material): These are purely physical or “bestial” humans. They are completely bound to the material world, consumed by bodily desires, and entirely blind to spiritual matters. Because they lack any spiritual essence, they are doomed to dissolve into nothingness when the physical body dies.
2. Cosmic Origin, Not Divine Choice
In mainstream Christianity, God elects individuals through an act of sovereign grace or foreknowledge. In Gnosticism, election is a metaphysical reality.
Before the physical world was made, a cosmic accident caused fragments of the divine light realm (the Pleroma) to fall and become trapped in matter. If you are one of the elect, it means your soul contains one of these fallen fragments. Therefore, you belong to the divine realm before you are ever born into a physical body.
3. How the “Elect” Are Saved
Because the elect are born with the divine spark, their path to salvation works differently than in traditional religions:
- Amnesia: When the elect soul enters a human body, it falls into a deep sleep or state of spiritual amnesia, completely forgetting where it came from.
- The Wake-Up Call: Salvation happens when the person receives a revelation—often brought by a divine messenger like Christ—that acts as a spiritual alarm clock.
- Self-Realization: The moment the elect person hears the truth, something inside them stirs. They realize they do not belong to this flawed material world and are actually “strangers” passing through. This direct, experiential realization is gnosis.
4. The Duty of the Gnostic Elect
Being chosen is not just a passive privilege. Gnostic teachers like Valentinus taught that the elect have an active job while on Earth. Their task is to use their spiritual awareness to “nullify” the material world, acting as stewards or co-saviors to help gather and liberate the remaining trapped pieces of divine light so they can return to the true God. []
Would you like to know more about how early Christian churches responded to these Gnostic ideas, or should we explore the Gnostic texts (like the Gospel of Judas or Nag Hammadi library) where these concepts are written?
The idea of elect souls refers to people chosen by God before birth to receive salvation or a special holy task. Many religious and philosophical groups teach that these souls exist in a spiritual realm or heaven before they are put into a human body on Earth.
Religious Views on Pre-Existent Elect Souls
- Christian Predestination: Some Christian groups believe God picks who will be saved before time begins. This idea connects to the choice of believers before the world was made.
- Jewish Tradition: Ancient texts like the Midrash suggest that all human souls, including special or righteous ones, exist in a spiritual storehouse in heaven before birth.
- Gnostic Beliefs: Certain early spiritual groups taught that a divine spark or select light-souls come from a pure spiritual realm and fall into physical bodies.
How the Process Works
- Spiritual Origin: The soul lives with God or in a pure state of light before physical life.
- Divine Choice: God picks the soul for a special purpose or faith before it gains a body.
- Earthly Entry: The soul enters a baby at conception or birth, often forgetting its past spiritual home.
- Awakening: The person later feels a strong pull toward truth, God, or their assigned holy duty during life.
Election in the East
The division of souls at judgement in both eastern philosophy and western tradition
From AI: In western traditions, souls face a single, permeant post-mortem judgement by God, leading to fixed external destinations like heaven, hell, or purgatory. Eastern philosophy views the soul or mind as undergoing continuous reincarnation (samsara), where karma dictates each next life rather and a final divine verdict.
Western Tradition (Abrahamic)
- Single Judgment: Souls face a final evaluation after death or at the end of the world.
- Dual Outcomes: The main paths split into eternal reward (heaven) or punishment (hell).
- Intermediary States: Catholic belief includes purgatory for cleansing minor sins before heaven.
- Divine Will: God decides the final place based on faith, deeds, and repentance.
Eastern Philosophy (Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism)
- Law of Karma: Actions (karma) naturally shape the next rebirth without a judge.
- Cycle of Rebirth: The soul moves through human, animal, or spiritual realms (samsara).
- Ultimate Liberation: The goal is escaping rebirth through spiritual awakening (moksha or nirvana).
- No Final Verdict: Rebirth continues until ignorance ends and truth is realized.
Would you like to explore how a specific tradition, such as Ancient Greek mythology or Buddhism, views this process?
Ancient Greek mythology judgement
In Ancient Greek mythology, the division of souls is a final, bureaucratic court process overseen by three judges in the Underworld, leading to three permanent afterlife realms.
The Judges of the Underworld
- Three Judges: Minos, Rhadamanthus, and Aeacus decide the destiny of every dead soul.
- Biased Courts: Rhadamanthus judges Asian souls; Aeacus judges European souls; Minos holds the deciding vote.
- The Scale: Hermes weighs the soul’s deeds on a literal scale (psychostasia) before the trial.
The Three Realms of Division
- Elysium (The Elysian Fields): A sunlit paradise reserved for heroes, demigods, and the exceptionally virtuous.
- Asphodel Meadows: A gray, foggy plain where ordinary souls who lived average lives wander aimlessly.
- Tartarus: A deep, dark abyss of torture for wicked souls, tyrants, and those who offended the gods.
Key Rituals of Transition
- The Coin: Charon requires an obol coin to ferry souls across the River Styx.
- Water of Oblivion: Ordinary souls drink from the River Lethe to forget their earthly lives.
- Memory Preservation: Initiates of mystery cults drink from the River Mnemosyne to keep their memories.

Punishment of Tartarus and Others in Greek Myth.
In Ancient Greek mythology, punishment in Tartarus is defined by poetic justice. The Greek gods did not just penalize wicked souls; they crafted ironic, eternal loops of psychological and physical torment that directly mirrored the sinner’s earthly crimes.
1. Sisyphus: The Illusion of Progress
- The Crime: Sisyphus was a deceitful king who twice cheated death by chaining up Thanatos (the god of death) and tricking Persephone into letting him return to the living world.
- The Punishment: He is forced to push a massive boulder up a steep hill. Every time he nears the summit, the boulder slips from his grasp and rolls back to the bottom, forcing him to start over for eternity.
- The Irony: A man who prided himself on outsmarting fate is trapped in a completely predictable, utterly meaningless task with no escape.
2. Tantalus: Eternal Deprivation
- The Crime: Tantalus abused his intimacy with the gods by stealing their nectar and ambrosia, and worse, he murdered his own son, Pelops, cooking and serving him at a banquet to test the gods’ omniscience.
- The Punishment: He stands in a pool of water beneath fruit trees. Whenever he bends down to drink, the water recedes into the earth. Whenever he reaches up to pluck fruit, the wind blows the branches out of reach.
- The Irony: The origin of the word “tantalize,” his punishment dooms him to eternal hunger and thirst while surrounded by abundance—a direct response to his attempt to deceive the gods using food.
3. Ixion: The Fiery Wheel
- The Crime: Ixion was the first murderer in Greek myth, killing his father-in-law. When Zeus took pity on him and invited him to Olympus, Ixion repaid the kindness by trying to seduce Zeus’s wife, Hera.
- The Punishment: Zeus bound Ixion to a perpetually spinning wheel of fire that rolls through the sky or the depths of Tartarus.
- The Irony: Ixion is trapped by his own burning, uncontrollable lust and impulse, physically manifest as a wheel that never stops spinning.
4. The Danaides: The Leaky Vessels
- The Crime: These were 49 sisters who, on their wedding night, followed their father’s orders to murder their husbands.
- The Punishment: They are condemned to carry water in jars (amphorae) to fill a large basin. However, the jars and the basin are riddled with holes, ensuring the water always drains out.
- The Irony: Their crime cut short their marriages and spilled blood prematurely. Their punishment forces them into an endless, futile labor that can never be completed or fulfilled.
5. Tityos: The Perpetual Carnage
- The Crime: A giant who attempted to assault Leto, the mother of the powerful twin deities Apollo and Artemis.
- The Punishment: He is pinned to the floor of Tartarus, stretching across nine acres, while two vultures continuously tear out and feed on his liver. Because he is immortal, his liver regenerates every night to be eaten again the next day.
- The Irony: In ancient Greece, the liver was believed to be the seat of passion and sexual desire. His punishment physically targets the organ responsible for his crime.
Judgement in Later Daoism
In Daoism (Taoism), the view of judgment depends on whether you look at its early classical philosophy or its later religious traditions.
Because Daoism evolved from a quiet philosophy into a highly organized religion—absorbing elements of Buddhism and traditional Chinese folk religion—it possesses a unique, dual perspective on the afterlife.
1. Classical Philosophical Daoism (Laozi & Zhuangzi)
In the original texts like the Daodejing and the Zhuangzi, there is no final judgment, no heaven, and no hell.
- The Cosmic Recycling: Death is viewed simply as a natural transition. The human body and spirit are made of qi (energy/breath). At death, this energy disperses and blends back into the universe (the Dao), much like ice melting back into water.
- No Value Judgments: The Dao is neutral and non-judgmental. It does not categorize human actions as “sinful” or “righteous” in a cosmic sense.
- Peaceful Acceptance: Zhuangzi famously celebrated his wife’s death, arguing that weeping for her would mean he misunderstood the natural cycles of the seasons. To classical Daoists, a “final judgment” is an artificial human concept imposed onto a perfectly harmonious nature.
2. Religious Daoism (The Supernatural Bureaucracy)
As Daoism grew into an organized religion (especially after the Han Dynasty), it merged with Chinese folk beliefs and Buddhist concepts of karma. It developed a highly structured, literal afterlife bureaucracy.
- The Ledger of Merits and Demerits: Daoists believe that deities (like the Kitchen God, who lives in your house) keep a constant record of your daily good and bad deeds. This cosmic ledger dictates your health and lifespan while you are alive, and your placement after death.
- The Ten Courts of Hell (Diyu): Upon death, a soul enters the underworld, which is structured exactly like an ancient imperial Chinese courtroom, complete with judges, clerks, desks, and paperwork. The soul must navigate Ten Courts of Hell, each overseen by a specific Yama King (magistrate).
- The Mirror of Retribution: In the first court, souls look into a massive mirror that forces them to see the exact consequences of the sins they committed on Earth.
The Orphic Path of Judgement is similar to Gnosticism.
Both Orphic and Pythagorean movements transformed traditional Greek religion. They rejected the bleak, aimless fate of the standard Homeric underworld (the Asphodel Meadows) and replaced it with a system of moral accountability, reincarnation, and ultimate salvation.
1. Orphic Beliefs: The Secret Geography of the Underworld
Orphism, named after the mythical musician Orpheus, was a mystery religion that viewed the body as a prison for the divine soul (soma sema).
- The Myth of Origin: Humans were born from the ashes of the Titans, who had eaten the god Dionysus. Therefore, humans have a dual nature: a wicked, Titanic physical body and a divine, Dionysian soul.
- The Judgment Cycle: After death, souls are judged based on their earthly purity. They undergo a cycle of reincarnations, spending periods between lives being rewarded or punished in the underworld.
- The Gold Tablets: Orphic initiates were buried with tiny, inscribed gold leaf tablets. These served as “cheat sheets” or passports for the underworld judgment.
- The Choice of Rivers: The tablets instructed the soul to avoid the River Lethe (forgetfulness), which ordinary souls drink from. Instead, the initiate must find the River Mnemosyne (Memory) and tell the guardians: “I am a child of Earth and starry Heaven.”
- The Final Escape: Remembering their divine origin allowed the soul to bypass further judgment, end the cycle of rebirth (the weary wheel), and live eternally as a god among gods.
2. Pythagorean Beliefs: Mathematical Harmony and Reincarnation
Pythagoras was not just a mathematician; he was a mystical guru who founded a tight-knit, secretive community. His views on judgment were deeply tied to cosmic order and purity.
- Metempsychosis: Pythagoras popularized the belief in the transmigration of souls (reincarnation). He claimed to remember his own past lives, including fighting as a hero in the Trojan War.
- Mathematical Judgment: The universe was seen as a manifestation of divine mathematical harmony. A soul’s behavior on earth either added harmony to the cosmos or created discord. Judgment was a mathematical calculation of this spiritual frequency.
- Vegetarianism and Karma: Because souls could be reborn into any living thing, Pythagoreans strictly forbade eating meat or harming animals. To eat an animal was potentially to consume a judged ancestor or friend.
- The Fork in the Road (The Letter Y): Pythagoras used the Greek letter Upsilon (Y) as a symbol for human life and judgment. The stem represents youth. At adulthood, the path forks. The left path is easy but leads to vice and a downward judgment; the right path is steep and difficult but leads to virtue, a favorable judgment, and liberation from the body.
Summary Comparison
| Concept | Standard Greek Myth | Orphism | Pythagoreanism |
|---|---|---|---|
| Afterlife Goal | Acceptance of a gray, ghostly existence | Escape reincarnation via secret knowledge | Achieve cosmic harmony to liberate the soul |
| Memory | Erased by the River Lethe | Preserved via the River Mnemosyne | Maintained across lifetimes through purity |
| Rebirth | None (Permanent placement) | Cycle ends after spiritual purification | Continuous until mathematical harmony is met |
The Orphic Gold Tablets.
The Orphic Gold Tablets (often called lamellae) are tiny, foil-thin sheets of gold leaf dating from the 4th century BCE to the 2nd century CE. Discovered in graves across Greece and Italy, they were rolled up and placed in the hands or around the necks of dead initiates to serve as a survival guide for the underworld.
The inscriptions are written in ancient Greek hexameter verse and provide specific instructions, passwords, and declarations to help the soul pass the divine judges.
1. The Underworld Map and the Two Springs
The tablets explicitly warn the soul to avoid the first spring they see (the River Lethe/Forgetfulness) and look for the second one (the River Mnemosyne/Memory).
“You will find on the left of the House of Hades a spring, and by it a white cypress standing. Do not even go near this spring.
But you will find another, from the Lake of Memory, cold water flowing forth, and there are guardians before it.”
2. The Identity Password
To drink from the spring of Memory, the soul must prove its divine lineage to the underworld guardians. The tablets provide the exact script the soul must recite:
Say: ‘I am a child of Earth and starry Heaven, but my race is heavenly. This you know yourselves.
I am parched with thirst and I am dying. Give me quickly the cold water flowing from the Lake of Memory.'”
3. The Declaration of Purity to Persephone
Once the soul drinks and retains its memories, it must present itself before the rulers of the underworld, Persephone and Hades, to claim its final reward and escape reincarnation.
“I come pure from the pure, Queen of those Below…
For I also claim to be of your blessed race. But Fate overcame me, and the lightning-hurler [Zeus].
I have flown out of the sorrowful, weary wheel [of rebirth]. I have passed with swift feet to the crown of desire.”
4. The Divine Welcome (The Verdict)
If the soul recites these passwords successfully, the tablet promises a triumphant final verdict. The judges or gods respond with a welcoming decree, marking the soul’s transition from mortal to god:
“O blessed and fortunate one, you shall be a god instead of a mortal.”
These statements are very similar to the passwords that allow the Gnostics to pass by the Archons that force the human soul to reincarnate if they don’t have the pass-codes to enter the Plemora.
The Elect at the Judgment
The Holy Great One will come forth from His dwelling,
4. And the eternal God will tread upon the earth, (even) on Mount Sinai,
⌈And appear from His camp⌉
And appear in the strength of His might from the heaven of heavens.
5. And all shall be smitten with fear
And the Watchers shall quake,
And great fear and trembling shall seize them unto the ends of the earth.
6. And the high mountains shall be shaken,
And the high hills shall be made low,
And shall melt like wax before the flame
7. And the earth shall be ⌈wholly⌉ rent in sunder,
And all that is upon the earth shall perish,
And there shall be a judgement upon all (men).
8. But with the righteous He will make peace.
And will protect the elect,
And mercy shall be upon them.
And they shall all belong to God,
And they shall be prospered,
And they shall ⌈all⌉ be blessed.
⌈And He will help them all⌉,
And light shall appear unto them,
⌈And He will make peace with them⌉.
9. And behold! He cometh with ten thousands of ⌈His⌉ holy ones
To execute judgement upon all,
And to destroy ⌈all⌉ the ungodly:
And to convict all flesh
Of all the works ⌈of their ungodliness⌉ which they have ungodly committed,
And of all the hard things which ungodly sinners ⌈have spoken⌉ against Him.
The Fate of Those Who Have Turned From God’s Face,
4. But ye–ye have not been steadfast, nor done the commandments of the Lord,
But ye have turned away and spoken proud and hard words
With your impure mouths against His greatness.
Oh, ye hard-hearted, ye shall find no peace.
5. Therefore shall ye execrate your days,
And the years of your life shall perish,
And ⌈the years of your destruction⌉ shall be multiplied in eternal execration,
And ye shall find no mercy.
6a. In those days ye shall make your names an eternal execration unto all the righteous,
b. And by you shall ⌈all⌉ who curse, curse,
And all the sinners ⌈and godless⌉ shall imprecate by you,
7c. And for you the godless there shall be a curse.
6d. And all the . . . shall rejoice,
e. And there shall be forgiveness of sins,
f. And every mercy and peace and forbearance: p. 34
g. There shall be salvation unto them, a goodly light.
i. And for all of you sinners there shall be no salvation,
j But on you all shall abide a curse.
7a. But for the elect there shall be light and joy and peace,
b. And they shall inherit the earth.
8 And then there shall be bestowed upon the elect wisdom,
And they shall all live and never again sin,
Either through ungodliness or through pride:
But they who are wise shall be humble.
9 And they shall not again transgress,
Nor shall they sin all the days of their life,
Nor shall they die of (the divine) anger or wrath,
But they shall complete the number of the days of their life.
And their lives shall be increased in peace,
And the years of their joy shall be multiplied,
In eternal gladness and peace,
All the days of their life.
