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).
