What is Gnosis?

To those who doesnt know what is Gnosis I will explain.
The light of spiritual wisdom has expressed itself in many forms,according to the needs of any particular time and place. Those forms have been called "religions" but all spring from that one light,the one true religion.The eternal values embodied in the world's religions express the essential requirements for the consciousness to enter into that light and fully realize the purpose of living. In other words,the heart message of every religion seeks to awaken the consciousness and eliminate suffering, so that the eternal light may be known through our own direct experience.

The Gnostic student seeks to acquire their own direct experience of the light (the Truth),by means of awakening the consciousness and eliminating obscurations to perception. The method to accomplish this task has been called Gnosis, the Way, the Dharma,Jnana,Daath,and many other names.By comparing all of these ancient teachings, we can see that all religious forms have in their heart a science of Gnosticism: a method to arrive at personal knowledge of the Truth.

The venerable science of Gnosis is the universal to all humankind and is the essential "knowing" that arises from the experience of objective reality,universally experienced by all those who fully awaken and develop their consciousness. The science or path to arrive at knowing that reality for oneself, in ones own experience,is also called Gnosis,because it leads to the acquisition of onesown Gnosis of fundamental truth.

Gnosis is,in its essence, the method to escape suffering, because to experience fundamental reality, one must abandon the deluded mind,within which we all suffer intensely. Our delusions cause suffering,and prevent us from seeing the truth.

Love and happiness by Angelus!

Nice post.

Nice and informative. Thank you for posting it.

If what you are saying is true, that means that if we unite all religions of today and of the past we would know the Truth. Sign me up, but it requres alot of understaning to do that, both in symbolism and history.

I'm glad you like it guys. Yes light that's the point, but I hardly believe that all religions will unite themselfs. We need to unite them in our heart.

yes, so true.

also understood more recently as Chaos majik. gnosis is a term relating to past learners. in modern days Chaotes work hard in breaking away everything in religion, in paradigms in all. and then all that is left is the simple truth. sadly it has been given a bad rap. i am a proud Chaote

We all have our ways to see the truth and I respect yours. We just have to look around ourselfs.
