Gnosis is Free
Essentially the knowledge of the consciousness, common to
all humankind should be free, the knowledge to set everyone free should be free
and is in reality free. It is only man that thinks it should have a cost.
This knowledge exists in the cosmos and has always existed
from the very instant there was creation. This knowledge by which we can come
to know ourselves at our deepest roots has been made available to us by the
omnimerciful one, which is present for every living creature without exception.
The cosmos does not charge money for this knowledge, it however may require
that you wish for it and that you make sacrifices for it but there is no charge
of $100, $1000, $100,000 or $1,000,000.
Donations Sign of Valuing the Teachings
Usually donations come naturally from the students. This
usually happens when a student sees value in the teachings. As soon as the
student applies the teachings and attains results the teachings have for the
student a value, which he or she associates with some sort of monetary value.
Also a feeling that one has received a lot and now it is
time to give back arise naturally in the student and among the many ways to
give back, giving a donation forms part of that.
Why Do We Ask for Donations?
We do ask for donations because these teachings do have a
great value and by asking for a voluntary donation it is a way for students to come
to value and respect the teachings. Students usually agree because they see
that the teachings have valuable, the ones that get upset with having to donate
usually don’t value the teachings and end up leaving anyway. As an exception to
these two cases there are are those that get upset having to donate because in
their thinking they are either the kind of student that likes everything for
free or the student that thinks there should be no donations for something
spiritual.
Asking for a donate shows others that we respect the
teachings and it stops them from trampling all over the teachings, we really
should not let that happen.
Donations Help for the Great Cause
The donations that students give help the Gnostic centre to
keep moving and going and bringing new students, so the donations that students
give, are used to maintain the effort of the Gnostic centre that the student belongs
to keep itself open and functioning, and therefore serving as an instrument for
the Great Cause of the Father, which is to help all the human beings without
distinction to get their self-realization.
Donations are Voluntary
The donations that we ask for are completely voluntarily,
that is, depending on certain circumstances one may not be able to temporarily donate
and this is fine of course. However the amount that one donates if set
completely voluntarily.
No discrimination is made between students that can donate
and students that can’t donate.
Donations are not Excessive at All!
Donations are always what you can afford. No excessive limit
is put on them.
Conclusion
I hope that this short post has helped you to make it clear
why donations are a necessary or important part of going to a spiritual school.
They essentially keep the school running and open for others who came like
yourself that many years ago.
Seeing how Gnosis changed your life for the better see that the
same can happen to another just by your donations keeping the school open.
