[chicagognosis]

Spiritual discipline is what awakens us to divine reality, not belief.

Gnosis signifies knowledge from experience. Gnosticism, as a field of study, pertains to all the ancient schools of mysteries from both East and West, whose scriptures encompass the practical science of awakening consciousness. Gnosis is not isolated to the first Christians, but permeates all times, cultures, and spaces, for while consciousness is universal, the means of expressing such experiential wisdom of the divine is temporal and idiosyncratic to the language, mentality, and needs of a particular society.

Gnosis is what we have verified through experience and experimentation, predicated upon practical methods and personal effort. It is never the product of a belief system, of adopting a religious or mystical attitude, demeanor, or behavior. It is never achieved through attendance, adherence to, or acceptance from a group, by believing in doctrine or creed. It is the flowering and natural unfolding of the soul, which is created and developed when the proper causes and conditions have been met.

Just as there are laws that govern the physical universe, so too are there spiritual laws, causes, and methods to originate the soul: the awakening of the consciousness.

Therefore, the Greek term γνῶσις gnosis is synonymous with genuine faith. Faith has nothing to do with belief, with accepting or rejecting a concept in the mind or upholding a sentiment in the heart. Faith is what we know from facts, from witnessing and understanding reality. Belief takes no effort to foster or develop, whereas the awakening of consciousness and divine experience requires tremendous discipline and the application of spiritual works.

The Books of Jeu are two Gnostic texts. Though independent works, both the First Book of Jeu and the Second Book of Jeu appear, in Sahidic Coptic, in the Bruce Codex.[1] They are a combination of a gospel and an esotericrevelation; the work professes to record conversations Jesus had with both the male apostles and his female disciples, and the secret knowledge (gnosis) revealed in these conversations.

"...the Outsider is a man who cannot live in the comfortable, insulated world of the bourgeois, accepting what he sees and touches as reality. `He sees too deep and too much,' and what he sees is essentially chaos...he is the one man who knows he is sick in a civilization that doesn't know it is sick."

- Colin Wilson

The water in your body is just visiting. It was a thunderstorm a week ago. It will be the ocean soon enough. Most of your cells come and go like morning dew. We are more weather pattern than stone monument. Sunlight on mist. Summer lightning. Your choices outweigh your substance.

Yeshua said:

“If the flesh came into being because of spirit, that is a marvel, but if spirit came into being because of the body, that is a marvel of marvels! Yet I marvel at how this great wealth has come to dwell in this poverty.”

Chapter One - Eden

Eden is the Ethereal World. Eden is sex itself. The Ethereal World is the abode of the sexual forces. The Ethereal World is Eden. We were driven out of Eden through the doors of sex, thus we can return to Eden only through the doors of sex. We cannot enter into Eden through false doors; we must enter into Eden through the doors out of which we were driven. The governor of Eden is the Lord…

The controversial Gospel of Judas is a powerful scripture depicting the relationship between betrayal and transcendence. While religious groups intensely, fearfully, and dogmatically contest its authenticity, this scripture is clarified through a comparative study of Samael Aun Weor's writings. Just as an actor plays a part in a film and should not be condemned for it, likewise the Apostle Judas should not be denigrated for the role he played in a necessary cosmic drama led by Jesus, the Master Aberamentho. By understanding who Judas is in us, we can better understand the ways we betray our own selves while striving for divine reality.

I don't recognize "God-fearing" as a virtue or a superlative quality in an individual. To be clear, it's not a point I make for the sake of being sacrilegious or disrespectful to believers.

Conversely it's a point I make out of the sympathy I have for the generational trauma endured by and required of believers of bygone ages to have convinced themselves and their descendants of the virtue there is to be extracted from the Fear of God.

The only idea that a "God-Fearing Man" evokes in me is the haunting implication it makes for the unspoken existence of a "Human-Terrorizing God" - of which there is ironically enough a large body of evidence for in the Old Testament.

I'd rather worship Water and Wind today and die in the eye of the storm tonight than spend a single second of a tomorrow where I live in fear of and thus consumed by Fire and Brimstone.

A Book to FREE the SOUL

You are in a prison, but you do not see the bars; you hold the keys, and you do not know what they are. You stumble upon a book strange as a portent in the mystical sky. Do not let it pass you by. Take the offering and leaf through its pages. You will learn that you are more than an earthly human. You come from regions aethereal, from a realm of numinosity that you had to leave behind because of Necessity. You dwell in a physical body as a  divine seed—part soul, and part Spirit. You begin to remember, and the remembrance is the soul. But now you see that your soul is bound. Read further. You are no longer a searcher but a theurgist of the inner mysteries. You harness the power of your numinous self to claim your divine inheritance and defeat the material forces that weigh you down.

https://books2read.com/A-Book-to-Free-the-Soul 

Make on your journey a companion of the book; you will find the answers where others do not look. Hear it whisper; you will reach the veil of a reality concealed to they who dwell on distractions. Cross the threshold; you will know the depths and rejoin the company of the gods.

I'm a fan of the Nag Hammadi Library and other Gnostic texts but not a fan of the hijacking and re-purposing of the word 'Gnostic' by other ideologies and cults (archonic occupation) . A critical look at "Gnosticism" online. Then after that:
