Nature of Gnosis in a Gnostic School (155)

A Straight Description

To give you a very straight description, Gnosis is very dynamic and revolutionary in nature, Gnosis as a knowledge promises us the result of setting us on a path that will lead us to freedom and the development our essence/consciousness. However, as with everything it has its price and it is like everything in life, it is not so easy, there are challenges, there are hurdles, difficulties, obstacles, sacrifices and suffering.

If we don't experience any of these things to be very honest with you things are not going very well for us on the path, because this is the nature of the path, people on the path pass through great difficulties, sufferings and shed many tears. I know this for sure, first hand seeing and hearing about the path of some others.


When we Suffer

If I suffer or experience bitterness I try to remind myself of this and to work hard to get through it, because really it is there to help me and us to go ahead. It is little bit like a storm that we have to hold on tight and not let go until the storm passes and the calm comes. Every difficulty on our path is like that.

Well sometimes an ego can really bother us continually for a good while, but we have to work on it hard, just as hard as we work on things or projects physically in our job or at university. So if we are experiencing some bitterness that is good for the path, we are moving on it, we have been given the opportunity to know ourselves more and to overcome concepts and beliefs inside of our mind to get more consciousness and freedom and then be able to progress in our path.


Conclusion

If we work sincerely we will triumph and the sun will shine again. To make us ready for the next period where the sun will be clouded and we will have to work hard again.


End (155).
