If the Christ is the "Anointed One," what is that oil with which he, Jesus (and various apostles), was anointed? He is not an earthly king the way Emperor Constantine's Roman Empire might have us believe, but he was initiated into the "mysteries" of an entheogenic cult (spiritual community) that made him realize his (and our) divinity.
It is within me?
The real anointing oil is cerebrospinal fluid?
(And not sacred essential oil of spikenard?)
What the Gnostic Jesus actually taught is opposite of what institutional religion says

| Cosmic knowledge is gnosis |
Hidden within the discovered library of Nag Hammadi, a trove of ancient manuscripts uncovered in Egypt in 1945, are teachings that reveal a radically different message from the Jesus most people today think they know.
These forgotten writings -- including the lost Gospel of Thomas, the Secret Book of John, and the Gospel of Judas -- suggest that Jesus did not come to create a religion, but to awaken humanity through gnosis, the direct knowledge of the divine within.
How to beg God correctly?

Why were these liberating texts declared "heresy" and ordered to be destroyed by politically and financially motivated early church leaders?
What did Gnostic Jesus actually teach about reality, the soul, and spiritual awakening? This video explores the hidden philosophy of Gnosticism, the secrets of the Nag Hammadi library, and forbidden ideas that were saved by being buried for over 1,600 years.
Some knowledge was never meant to be found; other knowledge was never meant to be lost. #GnosticJesus #Gnosticism #NagHammadi
Gnosticism: Lost Christian Religion
 |
| Ven. Jesus: Yogi St. Issa, Palestine |
It is not a homogeneous tradition or "religion," but an umbrella term used by modern scholars to describe diverse groups and belief systems with shared characteristics [3].
These diverse Gnostic groups emphasized personal experiential spiritual knowledge (gnosis) above the authority, the traditions, and the proto-orthodox teachings of organized religious institutions [4].
The Gnostic worldview distinguishes between a hidden, uncorrupted Supreme Being (the Monad, "the One") and a flawed Demiurge ("Craftsman," Creator) responsible for creating this material reality.
Gnostics hold that this material existence is evil and believed the principal element of salvation was direct knowledge of the supreme divinity, attained via mystical, esoteric insight.
Many Gnostic texts instead of dealing in concepts of "sin," "guilt," "repentance," and "imperial control," but with dispelling illusions and gaining enlightenment, direct knowing-and-seeing [5]. More
