18 For the preaching of the Way of the Cross to those who have gone astray is foolishness; but to those of us who are saved by the Gnosis it is the power of God.
19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the "wise" and I will do away with the understanding of the prudent.
20 Where is the "wise"? Where is the scribe? Where is the learned of the world? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21 Because all the wisdom which God has given was not sufficient for the world to know God, it pleased God to save those who believe by the simple gospel.
22 For the Jews demand signs and the Arameans seek after wisdom;
21 But we preach Christos crucified which is a stumbling block to the Jews and foolishness to the Arameans;
24 But for those who are called, both Jews and Arameans, Christos is the power of God and the Wisdom of God.
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26 For consider also your own calling, my brethren, not many among you are wise in terms of worldly things and not many of you are mighty and not many of you belong to the nobility.
27 But God has chosen the foolish ones of the world to put the "wise" to shame; and God has chosen the weak ones of the world to embarrass the mighty
From The First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians - Chapter 1
Christos? A fivefold Gnosis? Divine Sparks? Rose of the Heart? Path of Return? Path of the True Way? Cross with Roses? Soul Rebirth? Dying as to Nature? Transmutation? Transfiguration? Liberation from Matter?
Now, as then, men consider such teachings to be foolishness. For their hearts have been hardened and they are unable to receive That which is being offered to them. The "wise" of this world will only believe in that which can be proven scientifically, empirically. Like Thomas, they must see the nail-holes before they will believe.
Those who are touched by the Gnosis respond to the simple but powerful and all-encompassing Truth of the Universal Doctrine as presented by the messengers of the Universal Chain of Gnostic Transfiguristic Brotherhoods. It requires no priests or intermediaries, no halls of learning, no rituals or occult practices, no chanting, meditation or concentration. It requires that one
- permanently disown every worldly attachment,
- recognize the purpose of God's Divine Plan of Salvation
- yearn for a permanent and true escape from this earthly vale of tears
- understand and accept the requirements of the Path shown, counting the cost of this Choice
- maintains a steadfast determination to not turn back once having embarked upon that Path.
- do all that is required in order to assist the Transfiguristic process
This is foolishness, is it not? As Nicodemus once asked incredulously: how can one be "born again"? Can a man crawl back into his mother's womb? He sought to mock the Truth that was being introduced to him but instead indicted his own "wisdom" as sorely lacking and earth-bound.
This writer embraces the foolishness of God, for it has set him Free. My brothers, if you answer the call of the Gnosis, you too will know the utter sublimity, the great joy of being a Foolish One.

I have answered the call of the Gnosis 5 years ago but lately the troubles, tribulation I have been facing made me question the Path. It is so hard some times to stay on the Path and see the results of the Gnosis. The inner battle has been strong and overwhelming. I thought those days were behind me. Obviously not.
Enna,
Do not become discouraged. As stated here previously, once we have been touched by the Gnosis and our Divine Spark has been awakened, the victory is already won! This because we are now linked with the light-radiation of the Sixth Cosmic Domain, the Divine Kingdom. This sevenfold radiation carries within It everything we require to overcome the aeons of this nature. If we persist in our Walk, even death will not separate us from this Divine Connection. We will transition to Shamballa where the Transformation will be able to proceed to its glorious conclusion without further hindrance from the guardians of this fallen world.
There will be a struggle at first as the animal-nature will rise up to battle the Divine impulse that has invaded the system (the Gnosis). It will use every means at its disposal, most frequently our habits, desires or people close to us, including parents and siblings.
The archons and aeons of this nature know our weaknesses and they know when and how to "push our buttons". We must be aware of these weaknesses also, and vigilantly guard against their activation. This requires us to be honest with ourselves and consciously aware of why things happen during the course of the day.
It is a silent war that is being waged, a spiritual battle that takes place within. i agree, it is an extremely difficult one and i speak from experience. But hear me closely, for the following is also spoken from experience: if we consciously, sincerely, humbly and steadfastly strive to live in the New Attitude of Life, at a given moment, the attacks will recede, the clouds will part and we will stand firmly on the Path, unshakeable and unassailable.
Keep in mind the story of Jesus and the Temptation in the Desert. This is the phase that you are now going through. The astral adversaries are attempting to pull you back into the clutches of this nature-order because they are well aware that they are about to lose you. That is their job. Stay strong in the Gnosis, do not focus on your failures. Every time you take a step back, simply let it go, re-affirm your yearning for the Goal and resume your walk safe in the knowledge that you do not walk alone. The Gnosis is with you and that is what will fight your battles. The next couple of posts will reference this.
