~ This will be a deeply personal and confessional piece. If I decide to publish it, it’s because I hope that others may benefit from it in some way or other.

Increasingly, I feel myself drawn away from Marshall Summers’ New Message teachings and into Gnostic Sethianism. 

Now let’s be clear, I believe — know, that The New Message from God is a genuine communication from the Angelic Presence. This is not a question of doubt or a loss of faith, because we are dealing with Knowledge, which exists beyond these things. TNMG is the Revelation that humanity needs, but it’s meant for everyone; all of humanity, and I’m not everyone, I am just one person.

TNMG’s exoteric teachings centred around be four pillars of work and providership, health, relationships, and spiritual development, make me feel like a failure sometimes, because I am just not getting ahead in these areas.

I am ashamed to admit that despite hard work in my area of employment, I am struggling to make enough money to support myself, often having to rely on family support. I am struggling with long hours, and chronic stress, which is effecting my physical health.

I am unable to earn from my art and my writing, and have trained as a truck driver in the hope that I could earn enough money this way. This is not working out though, as I cannot cope with the expected 50-60 hour work weeks and 12-14 hour days. I therefore have to work precariously through agencies aiming for 3-4 day weeks, where so often my shifts are dropped and I lose money. I just don’t know what else I can do to earn a decent living. The cost of living is so high, and truck driving earns pretty well. And yet I’m still struggling.¹

As for relationships; I have my parents, my daughter, and a best mate. I am so very thankful for them. But most of the time I am on my own. I have not had a romantic relationship with a woman in six years, and therefore I am very much part of the “male loneliness epidemic” that we hear so much about. The New Message teaches that you will not go on this journey alone, but like so many men, I have just about given up and removed myself from the dating market.

If I spend all of my time driving a truck, wandering around in nature, and working on my laptop, researching, writing (about “right wing conspiracy theories”), etc, which is what I spend pretty much all of my time doing—what do you think my chances are with women, who overwhelmingly lean left and value social consensus norms, many of whom are completely unhinged anyway? I have no Instagram, won’t play the game, won’t comply with societal expectations, and I never go out or socialise—I did for years, had a string of relationships, and partied hard, yet no longer want to waste my time with it, or with anyone who does not share a greater purpose or direction with me.

If I can’t provide, and my health, economic, and relationship situation is not sufficient, then my spiritual development also suffers. 

TNMG teaches that Knowledge within you knows where you must go, who you must meet, and what you must do. But so does Gnosticism, because these paths are very similar (with the focus being on inner Knowing.) The real difference is that The New Message wants to redeem you through your contribution to the physical world, whereas gnostics tend to see the physical manifestation as inherently evil and prison-like, emphasising escape.

So whilst I do not deny the truth and the validity of God’s New Message (redemption through contribution), I am increasingly doubting my ability to contribute, and noticing my inherent desire to escape.

Herein lies the paradox, because I’m not suicidal, I’m not depressed, I’m just Gnostic—I’m sober, and actually feeling pretty good about my self right now. The problem is not me, the problem is a world that does not want to experience and receive the expression of Knowledge in individuals and groups; and its also the challenge of survival.

The New Message says “don’t think everything is just going be alright, or work out,” and teaches that God isn’t controlling or determining everything that happens here in the physical — “God isn’t your personal errand boy,” “this is not spiritual welfare” it says, emphasising the hard truth that some things just happen; e.g. a child gets leukaemia. That’s not the work of God, and clearly a lot of terrible things happen in Separation—Gnostics understand this. We’re hanging out in Separation, whilst Knowledge is all that we have; it’s our direct line to Source, representing our intrinsic relationship with the One.

This is the fundamental difference between the Gnostic worldview and the belief systems of, for example Jehovah’s Witnesses, or New Age "everything happens for a reason" types, because—and of course I’m bias—Gnostics understand the reality of Separation, and don’t equate Yaldabaoth with the Divine. 

Sethianism teaches that the way of descent is also the way of ascent — we must sink down into matter, and illusion, so that we might remember who we are, and how to rise up out of the dirt and find our way back home. We say “be as cunning as the serpent, and as innocent as the dove.” 

I am a Capricorn—Thomas H. Burgoyne said that capricorns are the ones who choose to sink deepest into the material realm in order to use it as a springboard for ascent. “In the beginning was the memory,” said Robert Gilbert, and somehow, from my adolescence, where I so often wore black hoodies (and still do), and put globs of black tar in jars, calling it “Sethix,” I now remember that I come from an ancient tradition of Gnostic Sethians. This makes perfect sense to me now.

We are not angels. So when the angels sound a New Message from God, given to all of humanity at this great turning point in human evolution, in the form of a Divine Revelation through the messenger Marshall Vian Summers, we’re like “Okay, got it! Thanks, but you’re speaking as one, from up there, to all of us at once, whilst we’re down here actually in the fucking dirt bruv.”

Salvation comes through Knowledge.

I am just one person. Never alone though.

Always and forever.
