Description

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 61

Why are Gnostic cults so tempting? Why do people get sucked into them? It's not because Gnostics go around telling people they're wrong. It's because they go around telling people they're limited. Your beliefs, maybe in science, spirituality, Christianity, politics, or whatever, aren't wrong; they're low-level. The Gnostics hold themselves out as people who know more about whatever you're into than you do, and they explain their superiority as being "liberated" from the limitations "THEY" (your teachers, pastors, etc.) are placing upon your knowledge. They don't want you to know these secrets, but we do. That's the Gnostic temptation. Host James Lindsay breaks it down in this important episode of New Discourses Bullets, adding an example (https://www.dignityindex.us/index) of how the current Gnostic cults are trying to frame American values as level five out of eight in human dignity.
