Objective of Gnosis - (743)

A Little History

Once upon a time I typed out the following text verbatim from an old flyer that was amongst some of the old papers stored away in the cupboards of the Gnostic Centre that I attend.

The objective of Gnosis

“The mission of Gnosticism in this age is to deliver the method and means for the work of the realization of the inner Man in each one of us; the attainment of this transcendental objective depends on our cooperation with the Being.

The divorce between science and art, philosophy and mysticism has provoked the deterioration of this generation. We don’t appreciate the poetry of nature, the harmony that emanates from the universe, and so human relations have become cold: our heart is unmoved by human suffering.

The Gnostic teachings are based on the communion between science, art, philosophy and mysticism; they seek to rescue the highest values of the human being in order to be able to comprehend that life is empty without the pursuit of transcendence and the self-realization of the Being.

This would not be possible without the development of superior emotion, which humanizes science, sublimates art, elevates philosophy and crystallizes mysticism.

Gnosis is the poetry of inner beauty, the rose of philosophy, the light of science and the mystical eternal spring.”


End (743).
