I am not sure you can call what they have gospels. Almost all gnostic literature was destroyed. Of the few things hidden by monks or whatnot that survived the only one that has a lot of notoriety is the Pistis Sophia.

But to your question, yeah basically... He was talking/teaching about some pretty freaky stuff according to the Pistis Sophia. Detailing higher order cosmology and technical jargon about how you should navigate your soul in the afterlife and talks about the divine fallen entity Sophia. Sophia is the higher realm God that they believe birthed all.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
