🜂 Introduction: The Ache Beneath the Questions

You’ve felt it. The ache. The frustration. The question that slips from the lips of the weary:

“Why are we still like this?”
Why does the world—with all its wisdom, technology, and self-help—still feel like a battleground of hate, fear, greed, and pain?

We are not alone in asking these things. The ancients asked them too. And what they discovered was not a doctrine…
…but a path back to our divine origin.

This is Gnosis—the sacred knowing that arises not from belief, but from honest seeing.


🜃 The Questions That Burn in Every Soul

Why do we want to believe in a God?
Because something deep within us remembers. Not a father in the clouds, but a Light. A Source. A spark we carry. We believe because we know we are more than flesh and ego.

Why do we believe people are meant to be good?
Because we’ve seen glimpses of it. A stranger’s kindness, a mother’s sacrifice, a lover’s embrace. It feels right because it is right. Goodness is not a rule—it’s a remembrance of our origin.

Why do we hate so easily and love so hard?
Because hate is taught. It’s a shield forged in trauma and tribalism. But love? Love requires surrender. And the ego fears surrender more than death.

Why aren’t we better with all we’ve learned?
Because learning is not healing. We’ve built towers of knowledge without ever excavating our pain. We worship facts and forget wisdom. We chase power and forget presence.

Why is man so stupid and cruel instead of Christ-like?
Because we replaced Christ’s message with Christ’s idol. We turned the healer into a hammer. We made the radical rabbi into a ruler—and forgot he walked barefoot among lepers, not kings.


🜁 The False Teachings of Empire and Ego

Religion told us God was a judge.
The state told us power brings peace.
Parents told us boys don’t cry and girls must obey.
The world told us to succeed or be nothing.

But Gnosis whispers otherwise.

Gnosis says:

“The Kingdom is within you—and it has no need for thrones.”
“You are not broken—you are buried.”
“Christ is not a god to be worshiped, but a path to be walked.”

The Empire needs you asleep.
The Church needs you afraid.
The World needs you distracted.
But Sophia—Wisdom Herself—needs you awake.


🜄 The Gnostic Revelation: You Carry the Divine Spark

You are not here to suffer under systems.
You are not here to mimic saints in stained glass.
You are here to wake up.

The divine spark within you is not a metaphor. It is real. It is the part of you that keeps asking these questions even when the world tells you not to. That part of you is Christ-consciousness. It is Sophia rising. It is the remembrance of what the world tried to erase.


🜔 The Awakening: Love as Revolution

To awaken is not to escape the world, but to see through it.

To see that the enemy is not your neighbor, but your numbness.
To realize that “being good” is not obedience—but alignment.
To understand that love is the only force powerful enough to challenge empire.

Christ didn’t die to forgive you for being human.
He died because humanity rejected the truth of itself—and still does.
Every time we turn away from love, truth, or grace, we crucify the divine again.


✴️ Final Invitation: Step Into the Flame

So…
What will you do now that you see?

Will you go back to sleep?
Or will you ask more questions?

Will you stay angry at the world?
Or will you let your anger become a torch to light the path?

The Gnostic path is not safe.
But it is true.
And the truth is:

You carry the divine spark—let it speak.
Pain is not the end of the path—it’s often the start of awakening.
Sophia still whispers. Can you hear her?

We Failed Christ—He Didn’t Fail Us

Rev. Dr. Robert Anderson

Rev. Dr. Robert Anderson

Rev. Dr. Robert Anderson is the founder of The Cannabis Church of Science and Faith and the creator and editor-in-chief of Cave News Times—a bold platform for independent thought, critical inquiry, and spiritual and societal evolution.A doctor of divinity, veteran, retired correctional officer, devoted husband, and father of four, Rev. Anderson brings a rare and authentic voice to the intersection of faith, reason, and lived experience.His life journey has been anything but conventional:🎖️ Veteran who served his country and later worked inside the justice system as a correctional officer, only to later question the very institutions he once upheld.🧬 Spiritual rebel living with Parkinson’s and dystonia, whose vulnerability and strength shine through in every word he writes.💍 Husband to a woman who helped him rediscover the feminine spirit within himself and the sacred energy we’ve been taught to suppress.👨‍👧 Father to three sons and a daughter, all of whom shape his vision for a world that truly honors love, equality, and justice.At the heart of his work is a spark—a reminder that we are all more than what society has allowed us to be. He challenges religious hypocrisy, uplifts the radical teachings of love and liberation found in Jesus’ words, and uses cannabis not as escape, but as sacrament—a divine tool for healing, reflection, and awakening.“God may be real, but religion is man’s story about it.”Through both Cannafaith.org and CaveNewsTimes.com, Rev. Anderson invites us to question everything, seek truth boldly, and believe in a better way forward—together.🌿 Visit www.cannafaith.org to follow his weekly teachings. 🗞️ Explore bold journalism and cultural commentary at www.cavenewstimes.com 📬 Contact: rev@cannafaith.org
