Where and how do you seek God? Or are you an idol worshiper?
There are so many Gods and Goddesses in forums today that these places begin to look as in the days of Babel. Two camps do seem to be forming though. Those who seek on the left and and those who have found on the right.
Which camp are you in?
If you seek God, where are you looking?
If you have found your God, please supply a name. Show me yours and I will show you mine.

P.S. Gnosis is knowledge that leads to wisdom. Wisdom is Sophia in our myths. She has faith in you finding her. Thank God Eve ate and Adam had the good sense to do as told and eat as well.
That quote does not restrict you form discussing your own beleifs, if there is any.
I would like to repeat the same questions to you-
Which camp are you in?
If you seek God, where are you looking?
If you have found your God, please supply a name. Show me yours and I will show you mine.
That is also a discussion of ideas, neither event nor people, as your believed quote suggests.
I am a Gnostic Christian. We are perpetual seekers.
I am in the seeker camp even though I have had an apotheosis.
I admit to not seeking within as much as I used to. I am trying to apply what I learned from contact with the Godhead.
I can sum that up in that I am trying to think more demographically.
I cannot.
If you can show me your God then please do.
I can show you wisdom but there is nothing to see. It is a path, so to speak.
A path is far better than whatever you would show as a God. All you can show would be stagnant and unchanging. Right?
I can prove that a path is better for you if you wish to see wisdom.
Just answer this simple question truthfully.
In terms of moral tenets, which would be the best for a first rule?
One that centers on the self or one that centers on others.
As a Gnostic Christian, I believe that even after finding the Godhead, the bar of excellence should be raise and the seeker needs to improve on what was found if at all possible. Seeking is a perpetual work to a Gnostic Christian as our focus is morals and not some deity to follow. We choose to try to lead God to a higher place and not let him stagnate and become an idol.
When I did believe in a God, I didn’t seek God. I sat and waited and listened. I somehow knew God was already there. If you believe, what is there to seek? You’ve already arrived and so has that Something.
We all have our idols which we worship. We have no other choice - we are only human.
My idols
The stars, the moon, the trees, the sky, the wind, the rain, the ocean, the sunsets, the sunrise, sunflowers (among flowers) but sunflowers are stupdendous.
Poets, some scientist, writers,
Get the picture? lol
You live your life as close to the absolute truths as you are able and if you begin to approach success your own higher self will seek you.
Absolute truth? Who knows but it must surely involve consideration for all others trying to achieve a similar end.
Higher self? Again who knows. Don’t use the word god, it means too many different things to too many other people. Higher self may be wrong; probably is. Another level of intelligence to which you are connected in some way. Maybe higher, maybe similar but different.
Will seek you? Again who knows. May come as a feeling that such and such is correct, may come as information in a dream. Either information you have asked for or information that the source knows will assist you or sate your curiosity.
Then be content and only tell others if they seem interested. They are your own private answers and may or may not be the same for others. They have their own ‘higher’ selves should they be interested and of sufficient standing in their own higher selves view.
Above all don’t either push this information as the absolute truth or allow others to do so either. That has been done many times and is the cause of almost all the worlds troubles.
See you in some way in the hereafter to continue the discussion.
If wisdom is a path then there is something to see - don’t you think?
But what distinguishes this path from that one? Which is the path that shows “wisdom”?
And what is it that shows wisdom as clean flow and changing?
Your words are why Gnostic Christians sell the notion that any belief or myth can be internalized to gain enlightenment. All it takes is seeking within.
And yes, using the word God is not the best but that is what people are used to misusing.

What do you see if you answer the question I asked you?

P.S. Do I get to see your God?
Just because I could not show mine does that mean you cannot show yours?
