Hans Jonas  

Abandono, Pavor, Nostalgia

Todas as implicações emocionais que a análise da condição de "alienado" ou "estrangeiro" acusadas pelo gnóstico encontram-se expressas nos mitos e poesia gnósticos  . As narrativas e hinos mandeanos, as fantasias valentinianas sobre as aventuras da Sophia errante, as lamentações sem fim da Pistis Sophia, estão cheias de expressões de temor e estado nostálgico da alma abandonada no mundo. [Hans Jonas, Gnosis Religion]


Plotino  

What is it, then, that has made souls forget their father, God, and be ignorant of themselves and him, even though they are apportioned (moirai) from there and wholly belong to him? The starting point of their evil was their audacity (tolma), their birth, the beginning of their otherness (heterotes) and their willing (boulesthai) to belong to themselves (heauton einai).

Once they evidently enjoyed their self-determination (autexousion) and made use of extensive self-movement (kineisthai par’ hauton), having run in the opposite direction and greatly distanced (apostasis) themselves, they lost sight of the fact that they too came from that world. They are just like people snatched in childhood from their parents, who are unaware of themselves and their parents because of their lengthy upbringing away from them. So our souls no longer see either their father God or themselves (heautas); they disregard (atiman) themselves and regard everything else more highly than themselves through ignorance of their origin; they show admiration (thaumazein) and experience shock (ekplettesthai) in relation to those things, infatuation and dependency, so that they have divorced themselves as far as they are able, disregarding what they have abandoned (apostrephesthai). As a result their regard for all this and their disregard for themselves (heauton) has become the cause of their utter ignorance of him [God]. [Plotinus V, 1 [10] 1 (1-17); SorabjiPC1  ]
