Synopsis

The Vision of Aridaeus is a book written by G.R.S. Mead, a renowned scholar of ancient philosophy and spirituality. The book is a fictional account of a young man named Aridaeus, who embarks on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening. Aridaeus is guided by a wise teacher named Philo, who introduces him to various esoteric teachings and practices from different traditions, including Gnosticism, Hermeticism, and Neoplatonism.Through his encounters with various mystical experiences and teachings, Aridaeus gradually gains a deeper understanding of the nature of reality, the human condition, and the mysteries of existence. He learns about the role of the soul, the nature of consciousness, and the interconnectedness of all things. Along the way, he also faces challenges and obstacles that test his resolve and deepen his wisdom.The Vision of Aridaeus is a rich and thought-provoking exploration of spiritual themes and ideas, presented in the form of a captivating narrative. Mead's writing is engaging and accessible, making this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in spirituality, philosophy, and mysticism.The story of Aridaeus is the most detailed and graphic Vision of Hades preserved to us from classical antiquity. When a man dies he goes through the same experiences as those who have their consciousness increased in the Mysteries.

The sentence “when He was hung on the tree of the Cross” contains a great puzzle. The word for “tree” in the original is batos; this may mean the “bush” or “tree” of the cross. But the Cross for the Gnostics was a living symbol. It was not only the cross of dead wood, or the dead trunk of a tree lopped of its branches—a symbol of Osiris in death; it was also the Tree of Life, and was equated with the “Fiery Bush” out of which the Angel of God spake to Moses—that is the Tree of Fiery Life, in the Paradise of man’s inner nature, whence the Word of God expresses itself to one who is worthy to hear. And this Tree of Life was also, as the Cross, the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil; indeed, both are but one Tree, for the fruit of the Tree of Life is the knowledge of good and evil, the cross of the opposites.
