teachings \ gnosis
By don eli
An awareness, knowledge and personal relationship with our divine creators,
who we ENVISION as loving spiritual parents.
Gnosis starts with a feeling that we are part of something greater than ourselves--a larger purpose. We come to realize that our bodies, spirits, souls and the Earth itself are sacred. And our visions of deity are merely metaphors--symbolic archetypes meant to inspire greater gnosis.
Awakening is when we see that the key to Heaven is not in a book and comes not from a preacher's mouth, but rather is found within us. As is the knowledge of good and evil and what is truth.
Later on the path, it is our freewill choice to serve in accordance with divine will that opens our hearts to the transformational possibilities of gnosis, including transcendence of karma. |
