What is Gnosis?
Gnosis is just a word and “What’s in a name?” asks Shakespeare.
Words can have different meanings depending on ones own gnosis. By its Greek meaning gnosis means “knowing” or “knowledge”, but why call mind “gnosis?.” that is the real question.
Gnowlege was embodied in the image of the sun because mans perception of his world was through his eyes which receives light.
Mathew 6:22 (amplified bible)
The eye is the lamp of the body. So if your eye is sound, your entire body will be full of light.But if your eye is unsound, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the very light in your conscience is darkened, how dense is that darkness!
