MIND, MATTER AND GOD : JIVA, JADA AND ISVARA M.M.NINAN resulting in the present corrupt state of the world. Gnostics blame for the world’s failings lies with the creator who created it with defect. For example why did God create a word with the Second Law of Thermodynamics where everything goes from order to disorder as a decay process? A flawed creation indicates its flawed creator. “In the Gnostic view, there is a true, ultimate and transcendent God, who is beyond all created universes and who never created anything in the sense in which the word “create” is ordinarily understood. While this True God did not fashion or create anything, He (or, It) “emanated” or brought forth from within Himself the substance of all there is in all the worlds, visible and invisible. In a certain sense, it may therefore be true to say that all is God, for all consists of the substance of God. By the same token, it must also be recognized that many portions of the original divine essence have been projected so far from their source that they underwent unwholesome changes in the process. To worship the cosmos, or nature, or embodied creatures is thus tantamount to worshipping alienated and corrupt portions of the emanated divine essence.” The question simply is why should the emanation deteriorate undless the second law of thermodynamics was in existence starting from the Supreme God itself. Here lies the absurdity of the argument. It is in effect same as the “Maya” concept presented by Sankara Acharya’s Advaita where all men are simply Gods in amnesia. “From earliest times Messengers of the Light have come forth from the True God in order to assist humans in their quest for Gnosis. Only a few of these salvific figures are mentioned in Gnostic scripture; some of the most important are Seth (the third Son of Adam), Jesus, and the Prophet Mani. The majority of Gnostics always looked to Jesus as the principal savior figure (the Soter).” Prophet Mani did a major tour all over India and the consequence of this was the development of Hinduism as we know today. Mani is actually deified as Subrah Manian the Son of Siva, a younger brother of Ganesha who is the symbol of “Word became Flesh”. 192
Valentinian Monism MIND, MATTER AND GOD : JIVA, JADA AND ISVARA M.M.NINAN Valentinus (also spelled Valentinius; c.100 – c.160) was raised in Christianity and was tutored by a man named Theudas who claimed to be a pupil of the Apostle Paul. Valentinus was raised in the Alexandrian tradition and was a prolific author. In Valentinus’ later years he was up for a promotion at his job to the position of Bishop. He was not selected to take the position. So he left the church and started his own group. “Valentinus says that "the entirety was inside of him--the inconceivable, uncontained, who is superior to all thought."(Gospel of Truth 17:5-9) Elsewhere he describes God as "him who surrounds every way while nothing surrounds him" (Gospel of Truth 22:22-26) According to the Valentinian Exposition found at Nag Hammadi, "he possessed the All dwelling within him...He encompassed the All, he who is higher than the All". Another author argues that, "in the Unbegotten One, all things exist simultaneously" (Hippolytus Refutation of all Heresies). "The Father of all contains all things, and that there is 193
