Dear Instructor,
I’ve been listening to the testimonies of Christian exorcists, ex witches who were decieved by “good spirit guides”and even to ex high ranking black magicians of the satanic church. Some of these men and women were very much literally possesed by the most evil creatures of the lowest Hells, communicating with them constantly and bound to their evil will.
As someone who came from an atheist background, what struck me the most about these testimonies was not the existence of the supernatural good and evil, but the absolute authority of Jesus Christ over evil that all of these people so resolutely testified to. Furthermore, people from the evil background reported that Christians and Jesus were the true enemies that their masters hated and focused on solely (even though they had trouble influencing them due to “circles of flames guarding their astral bodies”). Specifically they mentioned not minding the other traditions such as those of Hindus, Buddhis, or others.
Obviously in Gnosis we recognize different approaches to enlightenment and towards the development of human souls and take all the useful knowledge and wisdom from all of them.
According to these testimonies however, there seems to be a much greater gap between Master Jesus and the other prophets. And while we do recognize Master Jesus as the one who inhabited the Christic will the most, I must say I didn’t grasp that the significance of the Christ element could be so vast that the demons disregard the other denominations completely and that it’s only him that has full authority over them. Also, I understood the incarnation of Christ to be a gradual process, implying that other masters must have inhabited various levels of Christic energy as well.
Todays Christianity takes this power Jesus has as a proof their religion is the true and only path to God and will even go as far to say that other esoteric practices only end up opening us to demonic influence, modern Gnosticism included.
According to what I have learned through Gnosis they seem to be missing something here, though I am unsure what.
So through this voluminous context I’d like to ask, what is it that makes Jesus and those who believe in him so powerful over and resillient to evil?
Thank you very much for your patience and good will.
