If you were asked: What is knowledge, what would you answer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Words like school, study, think, books, university, concepts, theories, science, reason, intellect, etc. may come to mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For these words and many others come from the mind, from reason, which immediately wants to explain everything with its thoughts and concepts. And since we are accustomed to using the intellect as the only tool of knowledge, this imposes itself and overshadows any other approach to reality. The result of this is the ever-increasing impoverishment of the ability to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0So too the dominance of the intellect in our society today often makes us believe that if we read a few books, for example, about plants, that makes us knowledgeable about them. But maybe only a few times we have planted something, or maybe never.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in a similar way we \"study\" many things: the planets, the evolution of the human being, the life of animals, etc. In this way we accumulate hundreds of theories and concepts in our memory. That is why, when faced with any question, the mind detonates a \"search engine\" that finds the \"learned\" answer. And then we \"repeat\" a concept, words about a phenomenon that we do not know about. Because we have never seen it, because we have never experienced it, because we have never felt it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if the person who wrote it was wrong? What if he was not in his right mind? What if he just said what first came into his head?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are we repeating then?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do we know?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

True knowledge<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Knowledge<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

GNOSIS<\/strong> is a word that comes from the Greek word meaning Knowledge<\/strong>. But true knowledge is something very different from what post-modern society has taught us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to capture the profound meaning of this term, all of man's cognitive capacities must be brought into play. Capacities that are innate, but which the common people do not use and therefore have deteriorated: \"organ that is not used, atrophies\".<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These latent capacities can be developed and regenerated by means of precise techniques which were taught in the ancient initiatory colleges. And today they are also within our reach. Within the reach of those who seek them. By means of these faculties it is possible to reach direct knowledge, that which no one can transmit because it must be lived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\"Gnosis is the synthesis doctrine that gave birth to all philosophical, scientific, religious, artistic, esoteric, psychological and cultural movements and currents\".<\/strong><\/em> Samael Aun Weor<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a nutshell, Gnosis is the perennial and universal knowledge apprehensible through the cognitive faculties of the Self.<\/strong> Gnosis, knowledge, wisdom, is in all creation and because man is a microcosm it is also found in his inner universe. But this knowledge is only revealed to those who dare to tear the veil of mystery to reach the truth. To those who undertake the most extraordinary journey, into their inner world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\"Man, know thyself and thou shalt know the universe and the Gods.\"<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oracle of Delphi<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is knowledge? Then find out for yourself. What is GNOSIS? Then experience it for yourself. Otherwise it ceases to be GNOSIS and becomes just another theory.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\"All theory is grey, and only green is the tree of golden fruit that is life\".<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0Goethe<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
