What Is Gnosis?

What is Gnosis? In The Universal Gnosis (Rijckenborgh, de Pietri), the authors describe it as follows: 'Originally, the Gnosis was the sum and substance of the Ancient Wisdom, the compendium of all knowledge having a direct relation to the Original Divine Life of a truly unearthly, divine human life-wave. The Hierophants of the Gnosis were, and still are, the Messengers of the Immovable Kingdom. They convey the Divine Wisdom to lost humankind and point out the way to those who, as prodigal sons, want to return to the original land of The Father'.

This description makes it clear that, contrary to what people often say these days, true Gnosis -- the Original, Divine Knowledge which gives access to the Path of Liberation -- is never limited to one particular country or nation.

Gnosis is universal and intended for the whole human race, and wherever in the world the Messengers of the Light may work, it will always be revealed.
