Abraxas (2.0)

Описание: The Lord of Balance/Wholeness - Supreme Unity of Opposites - Harmonious Contradiction. The entire "Silver Path" ideal is "The Middle Way/Pillar/Path" and the dream of Purgatoria (Shalim) is the notion of a spiritual realm that is neutral and balanced (between heaven and hell, the road to immortality, rather than to dissolution or recycling).

AI NOTES:
Based on Gnostic, occult, and Jungian interpretations, it is not only possible, but often argued, that Abraxas is a "hidden" deity or force that can be understood, and in some contexts, communed with or internalized, rather than worshipped in a conventional manner.

Abraxas is described as a "god whom ye knew not, for mankind forgot it".

1. The Hidden "God Above Gods"
• Transcending Duality: Unlike the traditional "good" God or "evil" Devil, Abraxas is seen as a supreme, undifferentiated, and "terrible" force that encompasses both opposites—light and dark, creation and destruction—simultaneously.
• Forgotten Knowledge: Gnostic traditions, particularly those associated with Basilides, argued that the true nature of the divine was hidden from mankind, replaced by a lower deity or "demiurge".
• Hidden by Design: Some interpretations suggest this knowledge was suppressed by religious orthodoxies, as Abraxas represents a "god beyond god" who challenges simplistic moral binaries.

2. A Personal, Experiential Power
• The "Within" Aspect: In Carl Jung’s Seven Sermons to the Dead, Abraxas is described as the "driving force of individuation" and the "unifying principle" within the human psyche.
• Internal Communion: Rather than an external, anthropomorphic deity, Abraxas is viewed by some as an inner, experiential force—an "authentic image of the god which is within ourselves," as described by author Miguel Serrano.
• Individuation Process: In this light, one does not worship Abraxas, but rather "walks with" it, meaning one embraces the totality of their own existence, integrating both their light and shadow sides. [

3. How Communion is Achieved
• Gnosis over Worship: Communion with Abraxas is thought to be achieved through gnosis (direct, experiential knowledge) rather than faith or formal worship.
• Acceptance of Paradox: To commune with or "not resist" Abraxas means to embrace complexity, balance contradictions, and accept that "all things are sacred, all things are whole".
• Symbolism of Awakening: The rooster-headed image of Abraxas represents wakefulness and foresight, signaling a "wake up" call for the individual to see beyond the false realities (the "matrix" of the demiurge).

4. The "Hidden" Nature
• The Forgotten Divine: Abraxas is "terrible" because its power is both life and death, and it demands the integration of all aspects of oneself.
• An Unconventional God: Many, including Jung, felt that this understanding was lost to the modern world, which prefers a "good" God over a complex, totalizing one. [8, 12, 15]

Summary: While not a personal god in the sense of a caring, anthropomorphic creator, Abraxas can be seen as a deeply personal force of unity, wholeness, and transformative power (gnosis) that has been hidden from, or forgotten by, humanity, according to esoteric and Gnostic traditions.
