The Gnostic Code

Abstract

Purpose: The aim of the study was to the gnostic code.

Materials and Methods: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.

Findings: The Gnostic parables excerpted above are sufficient to establish that a code was functioning in these documents. By using coded language, the parables obscured a functioning message beneath the veneer of a spiritual or otherwise unintelligible narrative. In multiple textual exchanges, the concept substitution method allows literal and relevant messages to be derived from the text. The literal translations utilize terms from the binary cipher in ways that are clearly out of context. The paragraphs do not make literal sense because of these consistent terms. When the encoded definitions are applied instead of the literal definitions, a new and intelligible message is revealed.

 Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy:  It will only be a matter of time before the evidence accumulates to prove that the Gnostic code is real. When the simple substitution code described in this manuscript is applied to the documents in the Nag Hammadi library, it becomes impossible not to see that the code functions. The confu-sion over Gnosticism is understandable considering how far conventional wisdom has to travel in order to appreciate the documents. A consistent code was used by enemies of the Roman Empire in order to hide messages within texts in order to hide their plans.
