Pribadi manusia itu ada tingkatannya (multidimensional being), dari yang paling rendah sampai ke yang paling tinggi (paling dekat dengan Tuhan).1. Soul 2. Oversoul 3. Higher self 4. Monad
Nah Monad itu hirarki pribadi manusia yang paling dekat dengan wilayah ketuhanan. hehe... :) Mungkin sama dengan Nur Muhammad (dzat primordial, zat awal mula dari alam semesta), dzat yang ada pada seluruh ciptaan-Nya, dan pada Dia juga... Zat yang sejati, atau ada istilah lain cahaya kristus (Christ Light), atau apapun istilahnya.... Agak rumit memang menjelaskan apa itu Monad, tapi dirasakan saja mas. Sudah sampai kesadaran soul saja sudah hebat kok, apalagi kesadaran Monad... hehe.. Salam, Rustan Monad (Gnosticism) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monad_%28Gnosticism%29#column-one>, search <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monad_%28Gnosticism%29#searchInput> In many Gnostic <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnostic> systems (and heresiologies<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Heresiologies&action=edit&redlink=1>), God <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God> is known as the *Monad*, *the One<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One> *, The Absolute<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Absolute&action=edit&redlink=1> *Aion teleos* (The Perfect Æon <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%86on>), * Bythos* (Depth or Profundity, Βυθος), *Proarche* (Before the Beginning, προαρχη), and *E Arche* (The Beginning, η αρχη) and *The ineffable parent*. God is the high source of the pleroma <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleroma>, the region of light. The various emanations of God are called æons<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%86on#In_Gnosticism> . Within certain variations of Gnosticism<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnosticism>, especially those inspired by Monoimus<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoimus>, the *Monad* was the highest God <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God> which created lesser gods <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deity>, or elements (similar to æons <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%86on#In_Gnosticism>). It is important to note that in some versions of ancient Gnosticism, especially those deriving from Valentinius <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentinius>, a lesser deity known as the Demiurge <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demiurge>had a role in the creation of the material world in addition to the role of the Monad. In these forms of gnosticism, the God of the Old Testament<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Testament>is often considered to have been the Demiurge, not the Monad, or sometimes different passages are interpreted as referring to each. This Monad is the spiritual <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirituality>source of everything which emanates <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emanationism> the pleroma<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleroma>, and could be contrasted to the darkness of pure matter<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matter> . [edit<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Monad_%28Gnosticism%29&action=edit§ion=1> ] Historical background According to Hippolytus<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippolytus_%28writer%29>, this view was inspired by the Pythagoreans<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagoreans>, who called the first thing that came into existence the Monad<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monad_%28symbol%29>, which begat the dyad <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyad>, which begat the numbers <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number>, which begat the point<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_%28geometry%29>, begetting lines <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line>, etc.[1]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monad_%28Gnosticism%29#cite_note-0> Pythagorean <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean> and Plato<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plato>philosophers like Plotinus <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plotinus> and Porphyry<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porphyry>condemned Gnosticism (see Neoplatonism and Gnosticism <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoplatonism_and_Gnosticism>) for their treatment of the monad or one. For a long time, legend persisted that a young man by the name of Epiphanes (gnostic) <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphanes_%28gnostic%29> was the leader of the Monadic Gnosticism who died age 17. However, scholars think the legend may have come from misunderstanding of the Greek word *eiphanes*which may have been mistaken as a personal name if in text, when in fact the Greek means *distinguished*, as in a *distinguished teacher.*[2]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monad_%28Gnosticism%29#cite_note-1> [edit<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Monad_%28Gnosticism%29&action=edit§ion=2> ] See also 2008/6/23 A.
