WTH? Gnosis in a PRADA ad ?

So Gnosis is now not only in art, music, pop-culture, even in video games!

The interest has literally exploded.

Even in an PRADA ad from 2005:

https://www.prada.com/us/en/pradasphere/films/2005/thunder-perfect-mind.html

where a model reads out loud a part of the gnostic text:

THUNDER PERFECT MIND

is a gnostic text, found in the Nag Hammadi library..

https://www.gnosis.org/naghamm/thunder.html

That PRADA ad has been made by none other than Ridley Scott.
Yes. That Ridley Scott - like Alien Ridley Scott, Gladiator Ridley Scott..

Very interesting.. combination..
commercial, advertisement AND a gnostic text
..to sell.. perfume?

What do you think?

At this point: if anyone knows another good source for the Nag Hammadi library and would be kind enough to share with me?
I am not happy about the disclaimer at the bottom of gnosis.org:

"funded by UNESCO"
"translation presented here has been edited, modified and formatted"

I hope they fail in taking over the whole gnostic movement. The fact that they're making it more mainstream means that the brainwashing has begun. Twisting words and putting them out of context.

I think this comment hits the bullseye

[takhar]

Seems scary to think of it now after reading it again!

I'd think initiates would be a high percentage of the customers of high end perfumes.

Does this help?

I think we'll continue seeing more and more "gnostic" texts and concepts incorporated into media and advertising as agnosticism is waning. Albert Pike already laid it all out for us to see in his letter to Mazzini:

We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view.

The world is being primed for gnostic doctrines, so after the destruction of the Abrahamic religions and atheism, the esoteric religion of science/gnosis will become the new world religion.

I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. Revelation 20:4
