OMENS OF MILLENNIUM
Harold Bloom
The Gnosis of angels, dreams, and resurrection

"Any strengthening of the psyche depends upon acquaintance with the original self, already one with God."
|
|

"The Gospel of Thomas: 'The kingdom is inside you and it is outside you.' Nothing need mediate your deepest self or innermost soul; everything is open to you, you need but knock and enter."
|
|

"A desire for the consolations of a spiritual life transcends institutional, historical, and dogmatic structures, and belongs to human nature itself."
|
|
4 |
"Each soul has an Image in which it can contemplate itself, and so at last resurrect itself."
|
|
5 |
"I am compelled to testify that literary works can communicate transcendence."
|
|

"There always has been…the way of Gnosis, an acquaintance with, or knowledge of, the God within."
|

"The Hebrew Bible, including Daniel, the last-written of its twenty books, knows nothing of an evil principle independent of God. Satan in the Book of Job is an authorized accuser, sanctioned by Yahweh, and not a devil or a being who can operate of his own will, or for his own purposes."

"What should a Gnostic prayer be? A call to the self, perhaps, to wake up, in order to be made free by the Gnosis. Emerson, American prophet, says it for us: 'That is always best which gives me to myself.'"

"Images have their own potency and their own persistence; they testify to human need and desire, but also to a transcendent frontier."
|
|

"I am to invite men drenched in Time to recover themselves and come out of time, and taste their native immortal air." Ralph Waldo Emerson
