Essence Of Gnosis Is Transcending The Duality Of ManEssence Of Gnosis Is Transcending The Duality Of ManIndeed, if I believe rightly, the very essence of the Gnosis (Search for Gnosis) is the faith that man can transcend the limits of the duality that makes him man, and become a consciously divine being. The problem he has to solve is the problem of his day, the transcending of his present limitations. The way to do so is not, I venture to submit, by exalting his present-day knowledge in science or philosophy or religion at the expense of the little he can learn of the imperfect tradition of the religion and philosophy and science of the past, handed on to us by the forgetfulness of a series of ignorant and careless generations. The feeding of our present-day vanity on the husks from pg 46 the feasts of other days is a poor diet for one who would be Gnostic.
It is very true that, speaking generally, we do know more of physical observation, analysis and classfication, we do know more of the theory of knowledge, and many other things in the domain of the lower world of appearances; but do we know more of religion as a living experience than the great souls of the past; do we know more of the Gnosis than the Gnostics of other days? I doubt it.
