Gnostic?
Much has been asked about the true origins of Erron Black , and all we know of his story is very little. One of the main events was he known the sorcerer Shang Tsung , who in exchange for his work , granted him longevity. But what about the beliefs and ideology of Outworld 's Cowboy ?
In one of his skin , he brings in his left arm a brand that seems to have been made with hot iron . The meaning is implied , since the mark is not completely visible . To dismember the 3D model , the brand is still unknown, but searching for other references , we believe that this symbol.
This is one of Gnosticism symbols , which follows explain beliefs. In esotericism , the same symbol also represents Earth .
Gnosticism:
It is a term that means knowledge. Predates Christianity and has its roots in Egyptian science and Greek philosophy.
For Gnostics, man must be free of suffering in the world and this can only happen through knowledge.
Movement that probably originated in Asia Minor. It is based on elements of pagan philosophies that flourished in Babylonia, India, Ancient Egypt, Syria and Ancient Greece, combining elements of Hellenism, Zoroastrianism, the Hermetic, Hinduism, Tibetan Buddhism, Sufism, Judaism and early Christianity. They had a technical language feature and emphasis on the pursuit of inner harmony with this Gnosis, this Divine Wisdom, without intermediaries, a knowledge of the Divine from experience.
No one reaches his true individual nature being what society expects or doing what she wants.
Family, society, church, occupation and profession, patriotic and political loyalty, as well as rules and moral and ethical standards, in fact in no way lead to true spiritual well-being of the human soul.
Rather, they are, more often, the very chains that alienate us from our real spiritual destiny.
That's because the Gnostics do not seek to change the world, but the transformation of the mind, with its natural consequence, metanoia, a change of attitude towards the world.
Taking into account everything we know about Erron Black , we conclude that we can not rule out this possibility , since it has always been against the rules imposed by the society he lived in, also found a place away from Earthrealm to live according to their beliefs .
