2017 Oct 10 Coast to Coast A.M. James Wasserman The show topic is gnosticism. He talks about humility, but being holy in a way opposed to orthodox Christianity. "Direct personal experience of God within," accessing the highest level of divinity. According to Wikipedia, he is an occultist and leader of Ordo Templi Orientis.
Advocate of individual liberty, limited government and maximum personal autonomy. From http://www.studio31.com/templar-heresy-a-story-of-gnostic-illumination/, "choose between the beliefs with which they were raised and the increasing realizations of their own personal truths. Their individual awakenings move them beyond the confines of orthodoxy to an embrace of the essential unity underlying creation."
When Wasserman advocates such things but ignores God in His writing to man, the Bible, Wasserman shows himself to be a gnostic and a rebel from orthodox Christianity, which is holding to conventional Christian beliefs (though orthodoxy has various interpretations, JE advocates the branch of praying and confessing to God without an intervening priest and the irrelevancy of Roman Catholic traditions, http://www.patheos.com/blogs/christiancrier/2013/11/18/what-do-orthodox-christians-believe/).
Cathars and Templars were gnostics. There have been gnostics in Islam.
He says that modern gnosticism is people pursuing spiritual ends, but cutting themselves off from history, which he says is harmful. Wasserman: The recent California law to end internal combustion engines by 2040 is a wrong conclusion drawn from modern gnosticism, because the batteries must be charged from something.
