The Modern Gnostic Tradition

We have to-day a Gnostic movement in the anonymous masses which exactly corresponds psychologically with the Gnostic movement nineteen hundred years ago.  Then, as to-day, solitary wanderers like the great Apollonius spun the spiritual threads from Europe back to Asia, perhaps to remotest India.  (C.G. Jung)

The word "Gnosis" comes from a Greek word meaning knowledge, but implies a very specific kind of knowledge or knowing. The American Heritage Dictionary defines it as: "Intuitive apprehension of spiritual truths..."

Who are we really?  Where do we come from?  Where are we going?  What is the purpose of life?  What is the soul?  What is the Spirit?  These are age-old mysteries yet still relevant to each and every one of us here and now.  

In every time and in every place there are those who want to know real answers to these mysteries not through belief systems and dogmas but through their own direct experience. And so, in every time and place a philosophy or tradition has appeared that points out the Path to that Wisdom, the Path of Self-realization. That philosophy or spiritual current, dressed in the unique clothing and personality of its own place and time yet underneath always the same, is called a "universal and perennial philosophy." It is the Gnosis of all ages. 

The Gnostic Anthropology of the modern Gnostic tradition of Samael Aun Weor is the study of that "universal and perennial philosophy," the study of a Universal Path as it appears in all times and places, in all cultures and spiritual traditions so that we ourselves can understand how to enter and walk that inner Path of our soul here and now.
