Significant Aspect of Gnosis
The theme of the Exodus is a small part of the Gnostic teachings, yet it is one that is most likely the most impactful to students.
It is this impactful because of the relevance to the times in which we are living. It also
has to do with the nature of the particular mission that Gnosis has to fulfill in
these current times.
Very Impactful
This theme is very powerful in that it can really
impact our psychology.
It can leave us worrying for years, it can cause great anger,
or it can even cause great despair and sadness.
As well warranted as these emotions may seem, neither of
them are really helpful to us.
What is better than these emotional reactions is the actions
of the work on ourselves.
Three Approaches
There are really three approaches to this theme. The
approach that we take can make a big difference between going crazy and ending up collapsing in a screaming heap or working well and steadily.
One approach is ignorance due to fear. Another approach is
obsession due to fear as well. These are two extremes that only produce neglect and scepticism one side or major distraction and over preoccupation on the opposite side.
The best approach is the balanced one, the conscious one, which
is the middle of the two extremes.
Taking a balanced approach we would accept the exodus and we would work on our psychological transformation to the best of our ability with less preoccupation - just working.
Taking a balanced approach we would accept the exodus and we would work on our psychological transformation to the best of our ability with less preoccupation - just working.
Conclusion
Everyone has something in their mind about the Exodus and
for our mental health, emotional well-being, the balanced approach gives us the
best results.
