Direct Experience
Gnosis is Direct Experience of the Mysteries. The Mysteries of God and the Gods, Creation and Man. The Egyptian Hermes stated “As Above, So Below” – all Live and Breathe in the Mind of God, and just so, our own Mind is a Universe in Miniature. As we Study and Know our own Internal Universe, we Know the Universe that surrounds us.
Gnostic Tradition
The tradition of Gnosis is Esoteric. Its sole objective is the Self Realisation of the Human Being, the Liberation from a Mechanical life. The Gnostic Tradition is:
- A Body of Teachings;
- Esoteric Practices;
- A School.
1. The Gnostic Teachings:
The Gnostic Teachings contain all the keys and knowledge necessary to unlock the doors to the mysteries of life and death... As well as the ancient Gnostic manuscripts, these keys unveil the hidden knowledge contained in all the world’s Mystery Schools, Religions and Myths.
Some of these Teachings are: The True and False Nature of the Mind; The Technique for Dissolving the Ego; Awakening Consciousness; Esoteric Sciences such as Alchemy and Kabala; The Esoteric Tarot; Dimensions beyond the physical; Esoteric Psychology; Karma; Reincarnation; Chakras; Kundalini yoga.....
2. Gnostic Esoteric Practices:
| * Meditation | * Astral Unfoldment |
| * Developing Imagination and Intuition | * Technique to dissolve Defects/Egos |
| * Self Observation, and Psychological Reflection        | * Alchemy - The Transmutation of Energies |
| * Prayers and Mantrams to awaken faculties and experience the Inner Being |
| * Further Mystical Practices |
3. The Gnostic School:
The Gnostic Schools give the Teachings in structured courses in their various levels and guide the students together in the Practices. They are non-profit organisations and exist solely to serve humanity.
Tradition and Revelation
Direct Mystical Experience/Direct Revelation makes Gnosticism a living tradition. When the Gnostic experiences Union with Divinity, the Reality of the Animal Ego, the Astral World... Gnosis then lives inside that person.
The Revelations of all the Gnostic People feed the Gnostic Tradition. The Tradition then guides and instructs the Gnostic people. This is the Beauty of Gnosis.
Wherever a person seriously works on themselves the Gnostic Tradition is Alive.
The Path
Guided by the Tradition and Inner Revelations, the Gnostic seeks the Esoteric Path.
This is Buddha’s Middle Path, the Tao or Way, The Kabalist’s Climb up the Tree of Life.....
Speaking of the Esoteric Path Jesus Christ said “Strait is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life and few there be that find it:”
The Path Unites the Aspirant with his/her Esoteric Reality. Strictly adhered to at all costs it takes the Gnostic back to the complete Self Realisation of all the parts of his/her Being, and to the Absolute Unity from whence he/she originally came.
The Esoteric Path has 3 Fundamental Factors:
1 Mystical Death: To know and annihilate defects from within the psyche such as: Greed, Fear, Jealousy, Hatred, Selfishness, Egotism, Self Pity etc...
2 Birth: To Transmute our energies so as to crystalise virtues and develop transcendental faculties. To awaken Kundalini. This is to prepare the way for the soul.
3 Sacrifice: To give freely, with love in aide of our fellow man.
| “I warn you, whoever you are, Oh you! who wish to explore the mysteries of nature, if you do not find within yourself that which you seek, neither shall you find it outside. If you ignore the excellencies of your own house, how do you intend to find excellence elsewhere? Within you is hidden the treasure of treasures. Oh, man, know yourself and you shall know the Universe and the Gods!”
...the oracle at Delphi |
