Baptism of Laughter

By Rev Illuminatus Maximus / November 2, 2002 /

Baptism was an important sacrament for many ancient gnostics, who found in the reflecting waters of the baptismal pool a ready symbol for the illusory surface-existence of life.

By Rev Illuminatus Maximus / August 19, 1997 /

"It’s just too bad that this ‘secret’ ( gnosticism re-discovered) has not done its job too well with its devotees in today’s world.
