Seeing Gnosis as something cosmic and universal, vast and without limit feels great! Feels comfortable and does not tense or tighten anything within us.
When we see Gnosis related to or tied to: a country, a language, a person, a group, an institution, an instructor, a family, a culture, a lifestyle, certain activities, particular words, myself, to my circumstances, etc. then we are limited and not restrained.
To feel restrained is to feel unhappy, and later resentful to what we are dependent upon or constrained by.
When we are not free we suffer. Because not to be free is to be dependent upon something. When we are dependent on something we like, dislike, accept and reject. We repeat that in a never ending cycle.
When we like Gnosis through a dependency upon something, we end up disliking Gnosis when that something goes. If we think Gnosis is an instructor we will dislike Gnosis, because no one likes their instructor all the time.
If we see Gnosis as limited it is because we are looking at it through something limited such as our mind, our personality or an ego. When something is without limits the consciousness perceives that and senses endless possibilities in that same thing. In this case that thing is Gnosis - which is that cosmic knowledge.

Beautiful!
