Some Gnosis FAQ About Truth and Verification - (733)

What does Gnosis say the Truth is?

The Gnostic teachings say that the truth is that which is unknown from instant to instant. They also say that the Truth is that which is experienced by one’s consciousness and if one decides to describe it, one can never quite convey it exactly as it was experienced.

The Gnostic teachings also say that the truth is something that liberates and frees. It is something transformative and when a truth is apprehended by a person it has the inherent power to transform the person. The Gnostic teachings also say that no effort is required to know the truth. The most opportune moment for us to know the truth is when our mind is quiet.



Is Gnosis Verifiable?

Gnosis as it is taught is something that can be verified, it is not something that requires you to believe. One axiom of Gnosis is ‘to know is better than to believe’.

Gnosis is very practical and is something that only lives in deeds and withers in abstractions.  and verifiable. Mind you, not all of the knowledge present in Gnosis is immediately verifiable, but given the right degree of the development of the consciousness, it is. In the beginning though, there is much that can be immediately verified so to reveal the authenticity and transformative power of the knowledge.
