Perhaps I should qualify what I said about Gnosticism. I am opposed to the normal concept that Fundamentalists have of Gnosticism. As they are so scared witless of such doctrines they never truly study or absorb it's knowledge. Actually Gnosis just stands for "knowledge".I may add the essenes were gnostic.

Yet all knowledge is ignorance. It is knowledge that caused the fall of man. It is knowledge that introduced a false "I" as that which was born and shall one day die. It is also writing here concepts, ideas and thoughts. They are but the footprints of others, traced on the sands of time like tiny spots of ink.

Yet you are that tiny spot of ink an "i' that is tracing or fighting it's way through the Desert of this world, not knowing that you are at home, and you are that which you are seeking. Therefore our knowledge is ignorance, our gnosis no matter how lofty, is always a kite connected by a string to that "I" of miscreated identity. Though it has a reality it is but as the shadow of the REAL. What we ARE can never be known, it is pure noumenality, none can conceive it. It is untrammelled and radiant in light, leaving total absence of any thought or concept.

That which is observed is only appearance, each a variation of the same theme. The moment the Mind Manifests it divides into Observer and observed, the observer is the counterpart of what is observed, mutually manifesting as Father and Son, the Lover and Beloved, the City of God as the Bride of God. None can exist without the other. Divided mind is reunited when God's Sovereign Will is Totally Accepted, that everything that happens is for our Good. This is a great mystery. Who can understand or KNOW God's Will? Freedom from knowledge, is freedom from identification with ego that WANTS to know. The Mind of God drinks not from the known but that which is beyond the known and unknown. It drinks from the Ocean of undefiled Consciousness/Spirit the total transcendence of the known and all it's opposites, it is absolute depth and inexhaustible in creating world's and universes without end. Amen.
