Valentinian Gnosticism
Valentinian Christianity was a prominent 2nd-century Christian Gnostic movement founded by Valentinus (c. 100–180 AD), that distinguished itself through a sophisticated synthesis of Christian theology, Platonic philosophy, and Hellenistic mysticism, positing salvation primarily through gnosis, which is the esoteric, liberating knowledge of one's divine essence. Its cosmology began with a transcendent, incomprehensible Bythos (Father) from whom thirty divine Aeons emanated into the perfect Pleroma (Fullness), a realm of divine harmony. This harmony was disrupted by Sophia's hubris, her attempt to comprehend Bythos or create without a consort, leading to her fall and the accidental morphing of matter and wisdom, producing duality. From this fallen state, the Demiurge, a lesser, ignorant, yet necessary deity, who is identified with the Old Testament God, fashioned the flawed material realm.
Humanity, in this system, comprised three distinct types: pneumatics (spirituals), bearing a divine spark from Sophia (wisdom) and destined for the Pleroma via gnosis; psychics (soulish), ordinary Christians achieving a lesser salvation through faith in an intermediate realm with the Demiurge; and hylics (material), bound to perish in matter. Salvation, revealed by Christos, who possessed an illusory, Docetic body, aimed to awaken the divine spark within pneumatics. Valentinians engaged in allegorical interpretations of scriptures, particularly John and Paul, and practiced rituals such as baptism, chrism, Eucharist, and the supreme bridal chamber rite, symbolizing spiritual union and the rectification of primordial separation. The movement, propagated by disciples like Ptolemy and Heracleon, flourished across Rome, Egypt, and Syria, developing Eastern and Western branches.

☦️ The Councils of Toledo II
In A.D. 654, the now completed Visigothic Code was a set of laws that highly oppressed Jews[4].
The succeeding councils reaffirmed this until the Seventeenth Council of Toledo in A.D. 694 where things got harsher[5].
In A.D. 711, General Tariq ibn Zayid took Toledo. It was said that, because of the intense discrimination against Jews, that the Jews opened the gates of Toledo for the Moors[6]. And indeed, Jews were assigned leadership roles in governing, investment and policymaking after the Muslim conquest. This time became known as the Golden Age (for Jews) in Spain[6].

In A.D. 654, the now completed Visigothic Code was a set of laws that highly oppressed Jews[4].
Jews were prevented from practicing many things according to their custom such as Passover, marriage, dividing food into clean and unclean, practicing circumcision, etc. They were unable to defend their religion against attacks from Christians, unable to read books against Christianity, unable to escape baptism for themselves or their children, and were given a book detailing the crimes of their faith. If a Jew was caught reading a book that was against Christianity, he could either have his head shaved or be lashed 100 times. Priests and judges who neglected properly enforcing laws against Jews were excommunicated for 3-6 months and fined.
The succeeding councils reaffirmed this until the Seventeenth Council of Toledo in A.D. 694 where things got harsher[5].
King Egica announced he had learned of a conspiracy between Spanish and North African Jews to assist the Muslim armies in conquering Iberia. Thus, all Jews other than those residing in Narbonensis were to be made slaves and given to Christian masters in different parts of the kingdom who were to try and convert them fully to Christianity. Their property was to be confiscated and any children under the age of seven were taken from their parents.

Personal Opinion about the young generations of this time:
Males and females both suffer from an inthrinsecal lack of affection, which leads them to either become digital whores (onlyfans, pornhub, 18+ telegram channels, etc...) or so called "street thugs", who know nothing but the sheer physical indulgement and a bad placing of this aggressivity born from lack of affection, into criminal activities. Add also a "culture" based on superficiality and materialism, promoted to divide each racial group's inner structure, and you have the receipt for spiritual and biologic collapse. Lots of so called parents have lost the capacity to love their offsprings, while the younger try to cling onto toxic models, perpetuating a cycle in which nobody, if not the eternal usurer, wins.
I don't have solutions, only suggestions: first, go out, take time for self healing. Do some sport, read a book, or simply talk with the neighbour. These simple acts could really improve your mindset. But again, just personal opinions

Eternal glory to a Russia free from Neo-Marxism and Crony Capitalism. Every European who call themselves as that, must contribute to the building of a safe haven for not only Russian People, but also for all Slavic Folks. Let's repeat it: Rome, Athens, Berlin, Dublin, Riga and Moscow, the Columns of United Europe! AVE POPULI ARII !
