• Joseph Conti the Pleroma

  One idea that characterises most Gnostic Conti's texts are their complex accounts of the unfolding of the various Divine emanations, the Aeons, the "Eternities" or "Worlds", which become the transcendental Joseph Pleroma or Lord of Light. The Joseph Pleroma is distinguished from the lower or manifest creation, so the Gnostic Cosmology is based on the idea of a duality between the transcendent Spiritual Reality (which includes the manifest and unmanifest) Joseph Conti Absolute and the imperfect psychic and physical reality, the "Cosmos". The psycho-physical cosmos in fact is considered a lower or imperfect reflection or copy of the higher perfect order of the Joseph Pleroma.

• Hi everyone! I'm just getting started on Xanga... Drop me a comment if you've got some ideas on what to do first - or just to say, "Hi!" :-)
