The Gnostic Way

E-mail Print PDF

The Gnostic Way is to manifest the pattern of Life in every action, thought, word and desire we express, so as to overcome the divisions that exist in the consciousness of the physical reflections of man. In fulfilling this we come to see life from a higher perspective where the duality present in the natural sensory perceptions of the flesh is overcome and we are taught by the One True Teacher within. Few people can comprehend the reality of their True Self as their perception remains bound to the perceptive limitations of the flesh. Factors exacerbating the limitations of the flesh include pollutants in the body such as toxins and dead flesh, as well as widespread malnutrition arising from eating a diet rich in over-processed nutrient deficient foods. Our culture not only promotes a lifestyle that promotes pollution of the body but also pollution of the natural mind. The influence of 'cult'ural programming, government approved education, laws in effect inhibiting freedom of thought and expression, as well as infinite fragments of incomplete or incorrect thoughts and speculations of other natural men makes True Knowledge sought from within One's Self to be exceedingly difficult but not impossible.

TheWay of the Nazirene was that exemplified by the life of Yeshua (Jesus) and that lived to some degree by all the prophets and truly enlightened men and women in the past and the present. The closer one is able to manifest the ideals of TheWay into their life the more potential their is to becoming more complete.  To be a Nazirene is not to be a member of a particular religion or group. A Nazirene is a "keeper of TheWay" and possesses a mindset that pursues the Truth and seeks to make the Truth manifest in the flesh. To live by the Vow of the Nazirene is to live in the manner required to consecrate the flesh and the physical mind so as make it the 'Good Ground' referred to in the Sower and The Seed capable of nurturing and raising up the embryonic image of our Soul Self born into the flesh. The Gnostic Apostle Paul made note that the Truth is perceived as foolishness to those of a natural mind that are incapable of perceiving it, this included even those true believers that he ministered to directly that were not lacking in any 'gift' of the Spirit, whom he referred to as mere babes in Christ. We cannot learn the Truth from men or books, these can at best lay the right foundation, or at worst increase the burden by further fracturing the foundation. The Truth has to manifest within us as we open TheWay for ourselves to be given Gnosis or Divine Manna by the One True Prophet. As has been said, in scripture the ultimate fulfillment of the Nazirene Vow is exemplified by a depiction of our elder brother Yeshua (Jesus). Yeshua represents the mindset we all must come into in order to be complete, a mindset that is eventually attained through picking up one's own cross and being completely faithful to the Truth you been given and have proved within yourself (Soul Birth) independent of what religious or secular background you may have.

Most people only know what is seen as death from a higher perspective because they negate spheres of mind that are necessary to bring wholeness and balance to one's consciousness and perception. Life can only be known through enabling energy to flow through all the spheres of mind and allowing the multitude of personalities that live within us to manifest in harmony and balance. We cannot know life by negating those aspects of consciousness that have the power to overwhelm us but we do have to be diligent and build precept upon precept from a solid foundation to be able to raise all these aspects of ourselves up to flow in harmony with the Source of our Being and the Laws of our Creation.

On this site are articles and links that firstly present perspectives that aim to challenge the mindsets of those that unconsciously follow in the ways of men rather than making conscious decisions as how to conduct their own life so as to manifest their own greatest potential. It presents further articles and links on how to walk in TheWay to make oneself the 'Good Ground'. It also presents pages or links to Gnostics working to restore the lost knowledge of TheWay in our present time, laying the foundation for the rebuilding of nurturing communities where genuine seekers can provide an appropriate environment for their children to be raised in The Gnostic Way, to themselves be taught and led by the True Prophet within.

Marriage Interactions

 

While the pattern for a successful marriage is quite simple, marriage can and usually does become one of our greatest challenges, particularly in the context of today’s culture. Overcoming these challenges requires a deep understanding of the differences between the sexes, the necessity of marriage, the forces that hinder marriage and the pattern that people must manifest in their every thought, word, action and desire to create a marriage that is fulfilling at every level of being. Marriage is about connecting, and creating unity and Light, anything that does not contribute towards greater unity will not build a marriage. It seems our culture today encourages people to build marriage through a form of mutual acceptance derived from compromise and independence. And, while the many counsellors promoting this line are well intentioned, unity can never grow out of compromise in the longer term. Unity can only arise from trust, communication, support and a strong physical foundation. Thus, cultural influences promoting independence of women from husbands and promoting the dependence of both men and women on government, churches and other institutions is diametrically opposed to what is required for a truly fulfilling marriage. For a marriage to be strong, men and women must look first to one another's strengths to provide what each is lacking in themselves. If, by example, a man is looking outside of his marriage for nurturing or a woman is looking outside of marriage for protection then the bonds of marriage are undermined and the forces acting against it are strengthened. Sadly, this is the norm in our age and our children for the most part are encouraged to embrace the same disempowering ideals and behaviours that brought this about. Each of us does however possess the free will to begin turning away from cultural pressures and seek to build an environment where unity can flourish and where Light and Knowledge can manifest. Not what knowledge is written here or what is learned in schools, but Knowledge from within yourself and the bonds of your marriage, Knowledge which you can prove and objectively observe from your own experience. I present this as guidance that will perhaps act as a catalyst to bring into your awareness more of your own experience and present what can be done to become more complete within yourself, your marriage, your family and your community, building up each in harmony on a foundation of Truth.
