Disclaimer: It is important to remember that severe mental illness, such as Schizophrenia, is the worst misfortune that could ever be imagined. Truly, a torturous nightmare!. Given that many people find it acceptable to joke about our struggles, we feel justified in satirizing all other lesser misfortunes and hardships. Nothing will be off-limits here. Everything is fair game in our pamphlets. We hope this doesn't cause offense. Don't be a woke snowflake, you little bitch. Because we are about to light a fire underneath a Rose.
Im sorry for being mean. I promise won't use the B word anymore. But I will continue testing your mettle along the way.
This book will present Gnostic concepts through a blend of truth and fiction. Certain core Gnostic truths are inherently esoteric and meant to be kept secret, "Sub Rosa", that is. Until they can be understood through deeper contemplation. To protect their sacred nature and ensure accessibility to a wider audience, we have hidden them in plain sight, we have interwoven them with imaginative and allegorical elements.
Here is your Rose:

Now please bow your head. Let us share a moment of silence. Step beneath the Rose and come inside
Part 1: Let me begin with my online dating service profile:
Seeking Professional Cuddlers.
I will pay well.
As an autistic individual, I find that my creativity and most vibrant expressions of self reside within the realm of touch. Verbal communication often feels limiting and exhausting, whereas physical contact particularly touching and cuddling, allows for a deeper, more authentic form of self-expression. I believe that touch is a sacred and intimate act, a Gnostic path towards understanding and connecting with others on a profound level. In Gnostic thought, true knowledge (gnosis) is often acquired through direct experience and inner revelation. For me, touch offers a unique opportunity to transcend the Demiurgic limitations of language and logic, allowing for a more intuitive and direct form of communication. I am seeking professional cuddlers, or "câlins sacrés", who understand and respect the importance of touch in human communication, particularly within the framework of a Gnostic understanding of the body and the divine."
From a Neo-Gnostic perspective, the Logos, typically associated with reason, language and logic, can be seen as a tool employed by the Demiurge to confine the human spirit within the material world. By emphasizing reason and logic, the Demiurge encourages a focus on the material, distracting from the recognition of one's true divine nature. Language itself, with its inherent limitations in expressing the ineffable, further reinforces this linguistic "strait jacket," restricting spiritual growth and hindering the attainment of true liberation, which lies in transcending the limitations imposed by the Demiurge through direct experience and modes of expression that go beyond mere words.
Consequently, written language proves inadequate to fully convey the profound message of this book. The true essence will be communicated through a unique, magical system of touch-based communication, detailed within these pages. We shall overcome the limitations imposed by the Demiurgic Logos through the profound power of love, or "Gnosophrenic Eros" expressed through physical touch.....
