An Attempt at an Outline of the Gnostic Reformation
Luther’s Reformation
EN – GNOSTIC REFORMATION
Christianity is inherently unreformable.
The end of Christian orthodoxy, built by bad builders on a falsely composed Bible, is coming.
The Gnostic tradition restores the true view of the Divine.
Gnostics have nothing to do with any orthodox doctrine of decaying Christianity.
The Gnostics thus dissolve all ties with decaying Christianity based on false Divinity – „YHWH“ and take away the son of the true Good God Jesus Christ from false Christianity.
The time has come to question everything, but within the rules of love and factual criticism.
At the same time, the Gnostics declare spiritual war on all followers of the Demiurge, that is, any form of Divinity that is the Builder, Assembler and Architect of our decaying Universe – „We are not waging our battle against human enemies, but against powers, forces and everything that controls this age of darkness, against the supernal spirits of evil.“ (Bible, New Testament,Ephesians 6:1-2)
The Gnostics will not enter the false temples of the Demiurge, and they will never build new temples until the time of the end of all the Demiurge religions is over, so far the only free place for the Gnostics to meet – Individualists is an open mind in space and time.
The Gnostics, unlike all Demiurge religions, will examine all the Holy Writings, and whatever is Demiurgist in them – they will reject it.
Gnostics will not build any spiritual hierarchical temple, every Gnostic is responsible for his doctrine of the Supreme Good, and he creates it only after meeting the Supreme Good – but no one is allowed to pretend, this is really the worst sin – sin against authenticity!
Greetings all – friends of PKD, and as promised, I deliver – I present to you a study of the Mercerism/Religion of Empathy by writer and Neo-Gnostic Philip Kindred Dick. Read calmly, but with an open mind, but be willing to offer substantive criticism where appropriate. This version is version 2.0, and this is because it was necessary to process all substantive comments on the previous version. Otherwise, it is also the result of my collaboration with my friends in the Czech science fiction fandom PKD and especially Mr. Jan Walter Sluka. So I invite you on an interesting journey.

Introduction to Mercerism:
I present to you a new study on Mercerism in version 2.0; this version is therefore different from my previous published version from April 2021, and contains completely new knowledge + clarifications, but also a number of extremely critical factual remarks that are the result of cooperation with an author capable of factual and systematic criticism (colleague Jan Walter Sluka), and who helped me to process the topic of Mercerism from the imaginary version 1.0 to the version Mercerism 2.0 (Phildickian Gnosticism – Mercerism 2.0), and whose cooperation I greatly appreciate and thank him in this introduction.
By working together, we are able to fully develop the understanding of the topic (even from its hard-to-process details and differences, to which the writer „insidiously“ and purposefully exposed us) and show the community associated in Phildickian Gnosticism another dimension of the work of writer and Neo-Gnostic Philip Kindred Dick (hereinafter referred to as PKD).
This study is also still open – this means that any of the readers of this study can point out discrepancies or clarifications of terminology or interpretation of terms after publication. I give cautions mainly because, as a Neo-Gnostic, I accept the doctrine of Phildickian Gnosticism as living, still in the process of understanding, and I want to avoid defining all knowledge as truth that is not subject to factual, that is, skeptical and scientific criticism. To everyone who is the author, I always say be prepared to acknowledge a mistake, and correct or supplement a study that will be published under your name. This approach will always guarantee that you learn details that you do not know about, or mistakenly consider irrelevant. A mistake can be corrected, but pride is much harder.
Apocryphal Gospels in the The Quran (/kʊˈrɑːn/, kor-AHN;[i] Arabic: القرآن, romanized: al-Qurʼān, lit. ’the recitation‘
The Qur’an is the holy book of Islam. Muslims believe it was literally revealed to the Prophet Muhammad between 611 and 632. According to tradition, the Archangel Gabriel dictated the individual words to him. The text is divided into 114 chapters called surahs. The order is not chronological; the surahs differ in the number of verses and, with the exception of the first chapter, the longest surahs are usually placed at the beginning and the shortest at the end of the book.
The Qur’an did not originate all at once. Muhammad recited each section in turn over the course of more than twenty years of his prophetic activity. According to the place of revelation, a distinction is made between the Meccan and Medinan surahs. Believers initially learned the recited text by heart and only later began to translate it into written form. The final authorised compilation of the Qur’an was initiated by Caliph Uthman ibn Affan (644-656). Until then, four collections circulated among Muslims, differing from each other in variations in reading, meaning and arrangement. The editorial work of the five-man committee between 651 and 656 culminated in the publication of the Qur’an, the text of which is identical to the present one. Muslims do not doubt its authenticity.
The Qur’an contains many references and narratives about characters familiar from the Bible. Muhammad made no secret of the fact that he was inspired by Jewish and Christian stories, which he drew on in his creed, so that he frequently and repeatedly mentions names such as Adam, Abraham, Noah, Lot, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, David, Solomon, Elijah, Job, Jesus, Mary and Yahya (John the Baptist). Interestingly, he drew from the apocrypha rather than the canonical collection. In the Qur’an, for example, there are passages very close to the Gospel of James and Thomas of the Infancy or the Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew.
Right now I am preparing a pretty much very detailed hypothesis (over 500 pages) on Gnosticism and the new terminology, as I now understand it through the eyes of a 21st century Neo-Gnostic – it will be a comprehensive textbook on Neo-Gnosticism. To acquaint you with the working version of one part, I am making it available. In doing so, I invite all to embark on a journey of critique and completion of information about what is actually meant by Gnosticism and what is actually happening in it today. It’s pretty rough to see how many new „sects“ and cults of personality are springing up within. And please don’t be afraid to criticize me, it’s the only way I’ll move forward – and if you also have an idea or tip for a good article, study or book or video, please pass on your expertise to me. Thank you.
