God in view of gnosticism

Abstract:
Gnosticism is the knowledge of unification and absolnte unity. In this article it is paid to gnostic unification. In this case the basic ideas are considered, with a glance to oneness of being and unity of witness views. And with a critical glance the opponents’ analysis is answered. And it is resulted that a gnostic is a real lover of God. In gnostics’ views God is one. (pure unity) who doesn’t have» other«. (As they say He is an Absolute Being that certainly He can’t be distributed.) We shouldn’t value unity beside multiplicaty because this kind of multiplicity and unity is false. God, that manifestation ardent treasur, is esoteric being (the hidden, unity, self-disclosure, Act of bestowing Divine influence, Presence of the names) and exterior being too. (Inspiration, Multiplicity, dream, hieratic effusion, manifestation of the names). He is the first and last too. so the existence is oneness and unique. And there isn’t anything but God. As they say divinity is person. And the world (everything other than God) is His shadow and he reveals himself to himself in different names. (all the names express a unit concept). God is the light that his discovering is his Essence. the beauty who can’t be hidden. But those shadows are divinity and other than divinity too. The creatures are mirror which they show divine beauty and his beautiful names. And man is his complete image.
