Intent: Restoration Day

This is the day we celebrate the Restoration of the Gnostic Churches.

“I address myself to you because you are my friend, my servant and the prelate of my Albigensian Church. I am exiled from the Pleroma, and it is I whom Valentinus named Sophia-Achamôth. It is I whom Simon Magus called Helene-Ennoia; for I am the Eternal Androgyne. Jesus is the Word of God; I am the Thought of God. One day I shall remount to my Father, but I require aid in this; it requires the supplication of my Brother Jesus to intercede for me. Only the Infinite is able to redeem the Infinite, and only God is able to redeem God. Listen well: The One has brought forth One, then One. And the Three are but One: the Father, the Word and the Thought. Establish my Gnostic Church. The Demiurge will be powerless against it. Receive the Paraclete.” - Doniel’s vision during a seance in 1889

Jules-Benoît Stanislas Doinel du Val-Michel did just that, declaring 1890 the beginning of the “Era of Gnosis Restored”. We will mark the 118th anniversary of this declaration on Sunday.
