Spiritual discipline is what awakens us to divine reality, not belief.

Gnosis signifies knowledge from experience. Gnosticism, as a field of study, pertains to all the ancient schools of mysteries from both East and West, whose scriptures encompass the practical science of awakening consciousness. Gnosis is not isolated to the first Christians, but permeates all times, cultures, and spaces, for while consciousness is universal, the means of expressing such experiential wisdom of the divine is temporal and idiosyncratic to the language, mentality, and needs of a particular society.

Gnosis is what we have verified through experience and experimentation, predicated upon practical methods and personal effort. It is never the product of a belief system, of adopting a religious or mystical attitude, demeanor, or behavior. It is never achieved through attendance, adherence to, or acceptance from a group, by believing in doctrine or creed. It is the flowering and natural unfolding of the soul, which is created and developed when the proper causes and conditions have been met.

Just as there are laws that govern the physical universe, so too are there spiritual laws, causes, and methods to originate the soul: the awakening of the consciousness.

Therefore, the Greek term γνῶσις gnosis is synonymous with genuine faith. Faith has nothing to do with belief, with accepting or rejecting a concept in the mind or upholding a sentiment in the heart. Faith is what we know from facts, from witnessing and understanding reality. Belief takes no effort to foster or develop, whereas the awakening of consciousness and divine experience requires tremendous discipline and the application of spiritual works.

Comes to You

Have you ever noticed that the world comes to you? In fact, the entire universe comes to you! It all comes to you, and the question becomes: what is your answer?

"Comes to you" comes from all your sensory processes. You do not have to do anything. You don't have to lift a finger! It is a gift from the universe. The chemical-electrical signals of the universe enters inside of you. Then, what do you do with this gift?

You are in an enclosed bubble and the entire universe is outside. The universe enters inside your bubble, one input at a time. The amount the universe enters inside your bubble depends on your reaction. What do you do with all of this?

Your reaction is your answer. You push back. You take the very, small piece of the universe and you bounce it back to where it came from. A small piece of the universe stays with you and the rest bounces back. What stays with you, changes you.

The universe enters and the universe leaves. How much the universe leaves behind depends on you. That is how simple this is! This is what the universe left behind: The universe gave you life. Gave you consciousness. Gave you existence. And now, what do you do?

The role of the Heavenly Messenger is to communicate the mystic experience of Light to souls and eventually guide them back up to the Place of Light, the Mandaean term for the highest heaven where the Great Life (God) resides: "From the Place of Light I came forth, from you, Bright Habitation. I come to touch hearts, to measure and try all minds, to see in whose heart I dwell. Whoever thinks of me, of him I think; whoever calls my Name, his name I will call. Whosoever prays my prayer from the earth, his prayer I will offer from the Place of Light."

“In this tradition we have explained that a real human is someone who created the soul. Someone who is not an animal. There are very few of them on this planet. True human beings are those who trapped in the middle between the upper and lower worlds, and who are working to liberate themselves from all of it. Most “human beings” on this planet know nothing about liberation. Really, all of us are animals. Really, when we look at our lives, we can see that we are animals controlled by forces that we cannot change: cultural, political, economic, forces that push us from one place to another. We have to work constantly, and we are enslaved by the beings that have power. We have no freedom. Instead, everything we do is to help them get more money and more power. They drive us to work more and more, yet in the end we gain nothing. What we generally eat is poisonous and bad for us. We cannot get pure food on this planet anymore. We cannot get clean water or air on this planet anymore. Everything is polluted because of the wars between the gods and demigods. Worse, we are sent to fight in those wars, dying for ideas and concepts that hide the truth: wars are about money and power, neither of which are ever given to the animals. We are the animals. We are ruled by our instincts.

[...] We are all at the animal level. I apologize, I do not mean that as an insult, but really, if you analyze our minds, and the way people behave on this planet now, we behave like animals. We do not behave like human beings. Human beings are gentle, kind, and someone who remembers god and acts to benefit everyone. Animals only want to survive. Animals are ruled by instinct, lust, anger, and envy. This human populace is not human not yet.”

—Gnostic Instructor

"Then Peter said to Mary, "Sister, we know that you are greatly loved by the Saviour, more than any other woman. Tell us those words of His that you remember, the things which you know and we don't, the teachings we never heard."

Mary answered, saying: "What is hidden from you I shall reveal to you. Whatever is unknown to you, and I remember, I will tell you."

And she began saying these words to them.

She said, "Once I saw the Lord in a vision and I said to him:

'Lord, Rabouni, now I see you in this vision.

He answered me and said: 'Blessed are you Mary, for you do not waver at the sight of me. How wonderful you are! For this is where the treasure lies - in the nous, that place where heaven and earth meet, where deep understanding arises in the heart and mind."

I asked him this: 'Now tell me Lord, how does a person see such a vision, is it through their soul or through the Spirit?

asked him this: 'Now tell me Lord, how does a person see such a vision, is it through their soul or through the Spirit?

The Saviour answered: 'It is neither through the soul nor through the Spirit, but through the nous, the understanding which arises between the two, that is how the vision is seen."

-Gospel of Mary page 10.

The Most Blessed Mother Mary, and the Great Teacher, Her child, Jesus.

The Madonna of Bruges and The Pitea by Michelangelo.

When he was born, She held him. When he died, She held him. It's very beautiful. She prevails over all, death, life, the sky, the sea, the very Heavens above. The Mother-God, Mary.

The controversial Gospel of Judas is a powerful scripture depicting the relationship between betrayal and transcendence. While religious groups intensely, fearfully, and dogmatically contest its authenticity, this scripture is clarified through a comparative study of Samael Aun Weor's writings. Just as an actor plays a part in a film and should not be condemned for it, likewise the Apostle Judas should not be denigrated for the role he played in a necessary cosmic drama led by Jesus, the Master Aberamentho. By understanding who Judas is in us, we can better understand the ways we betray our own selves while striving for divine reality.

Invents the Wheel: Guys, the whole world is like a wheel, turning and revolving over and over, cycles within cycles

Invents the Book: Guys, the whole world is like a book, being written in time. If we say and do everything properly, we'll be written in the book of life, and gain everlasting life.

Invents the Machine: Guys, the whole world is like a machine, a great machination in which all heavenly bodies follow a predetermined path, following laws limited by the machine itself.

Invents the Computer and AI: Guys, HOLY FU-

Releasing One's Spirit

Releasing is not done by yourself, but reducing the structure you have created that surrounds it. The unstructured will then be free to flow through the cracks and peep holes. It is this unstructured that creates insights, creativity, energy, and vitality!

To reduce the structures that you have built over the years can only be done by you, then the unstructured within can release itself!

To unbound the unstructured is to do in real time the structured that you are constantly re-enforcing and creating. Stop the creating of new structures can only be done in real time when it is happening and being created. Awareness, realizing that it is happening, and having your focus and spotlight on it is sufficient for it to cease being created.

These were so interesting and eye opening about humanities corruption and addiction to having power over others. I just got the gospel of Judas and hope to learn from that as well.

(I’m not Christian either so it was just such a great study)
