Jesus Gnosticism a Cult of Personality (poor Jesus)

Poor Jesus, the Real Jesus that is. Socrates doesn't have to put up with this bs, nobody prays to him all the time, calls his name out feebly in the night. Imagine having the super-hearing of Superman but not the ability. Yes, I assume Jesus is not God or the Son of God and does not have the ability to be several places at once. Okay, maybe possibly three places at once, but not millions of places!

Poor Jesus in the afterlife, having to here over the Astral aether the continual misguided yearnings and assumptions of several millenia of humanity. Modern Gnostics are doing the same thing, annoying the shit out of Jesus.

Don't pray to Jesus. Just listen to the wisdom that came out of his mouth and the wisdom that was put into his mouth by subsequent authors. Just like with Socrates, we listen to the wisdom of Socrates-Plato and Socrates-Xenophon.

Jesus- a Mouthpiece for a Massive amount of wisdom, some of it most probably wisdom of the sort attained by people who had paranormal experiences and related them in the best way they could understand. Just like the Tibetan Buddhists.

John Lash was right, Jesus may have been an ancient Jewish Yasser Arafat! I enjoyed the way some of the Gnostics at palmtreegarden took offence to that particular comparison. I don't particularly believe it myself, I think Jesus was a profound pacifist and also didn't worship Yahweh, but possibly El, for instance. Or the One, the Monad. Who know, does it really matter?

The Gnostic scriptures have so much stuff streaming out of Jesus's mouth that at a certain point the honest individual has to just listen to the wisdom and forget the mouthpiece
