I am amazed that this forum is empty.

Is no one interested in KNOWING God? THAT is what GENUINE GNOSIS is all about.

N.B. I do not refer to any ancient or modern heretical sects of pseudo-gnostics, but simply to those who find and follow a genuine "KNOWING" ("gnostic") Spiritual Master, such as Yehoshua, or Buddha, or Moses, etc.

I do know God

Great! Then you are certainly a GNOSTIC.

As a student of ACIM, I find there are alot of similarities with Gnosticism, though I must admit I'm not very familiar with modern Gnostic belief. Can you tell me a little more about what you mean by "knowing God?"

Is it beyond thought, like "you'll know when you know....?"

I have described briefly the Mystic (gnostic) experiences of God in the SPIRITUALITY forum on this site. See e.g. The Mystic Light

and also the "NAME/WORD", "VOICE", & "FOOD" threads there.

N.B. There are NO beliefs in genuine gnosticism - only personal experiential Spiritual KNOWLEDGE (i.e. gnosis).

I think i'm a gnost...looks like ghost LOL

Hello A.Ben-shema.

visited your website and looked around, nice neighborhood.

i cannot say i know 'god'. i can and have said there was direct perception, but didn't say i had that direct perception. "God" is present when what covers it is in abeyance.

In this direct experience it was god which percieved what we call the mind and body. For convenience and out of respect for your thread i will call it the light, which is not contrary to what it is. At times i have called it the brillient. Both by it's nature and the brilliant lucidity it imbues in what it witnesses or beholds thru the 'appendage' of the body.


This was unanticipated, i was involved in a mundane activity, and happened as if i had been struck by lightning, in a nano second everything shifted, and the truths i'd held so dear were vanished...the brilliance lasted for 3 days and fundementaly changed literaly everything.

This was 3 years ago.

Am not sure i qualify as a gnositc, OR a panentheist, but none of those things qualify as important either. (Said with gentle humor ) They are simply convenient lables for communication.

That which is called 'god' exists without a within and without...it is lucid spacelessness.

Hi A Ben-Shima

I expereinced God about 5 years ago now
I became One and God spoke to me (very poor way of describing as its not speaking) The expereince of Love is undescribable - AWE
Indeed there is a light which we become ONE in and you also understand the meaning of White rainment

Basically you remember SELF and become an eternal infinite being
It is a remembering and you do not ask "did I expereince God"
You know - No longer any doubts

Anyway a year later I was given ACIM and all through its pages is written what I expereinced including an exact description of my revelation expereince
I had never read anything spiritual before so this confirmed that ACIM is from the "Truth"
I have also noted that Paul had the same experience as me from his writings in the Bible - Its one of those things where once you have expereinced it you recognise others trying to explain it - although it cannot be put into words

My Wife has also had a simular expereince with Jesus a few years later - She tried to explain it and i just smiled as she stumbled with descriptions - I knew she had seen

Anyway - It appears we are all waking up

Will take a nosey at your site

With Love

Tony

It is good to hear that there are some who are experiencing the LIGHT. I started a GNOSTIC forum for this very purpose ~ to spread the "good news" of THE KNOWLEDGE ~ GNOSIS

PLU ~ Bob

I know "God" as I know myself. As a Suitheist, the only divinity I recognize is myself. Would that make me a Gnostic Suitheist?
