Hi, I'm very knew to gnosis and the more I read on the site and articles on the web, the more it resounds so purely within me. It just seems like after all these years of searching, some key things are falling into place. I know I'm jumping the gun, so please forgive me, but I really want to learn more about gnosis in the course Gnostic Wisdom, but 3 courses have to be taken first. I just want to understand a little more why the wealth of background information is kept for the very last. I'm just so used to theory/history taught first for comprehension and then the practicum or application. I hope this question doesn't have such an obvious answer that it or I maybe considered too dumb to answer. |

Hi Queena,
Good question. It is very simple, the information which is given in the Gnostic wisdom course is far beyond our poor undertsanding and is totaly intellectual for our comprehension. It is given by Master Belzebuub just to let students intellectualy know the possibilities that the esoteric work can open.
The courses that a student goes through before The Gnostic Wisdom course are designed to prepare him for the whole idea of the inner work that can be done by using the tools that are thought it those courses.
If a student makes sinsere efforts, he will unquestionably recieve some spiritual experiences. It is then that the Gnostic Wisdom course is given, and those who have prepared them selves well, are most likely to undertake the esoteric work, which they will know by then is very real and possible.
But those who take those courses just out of their curiousity and are not willing to give it a real try, are ending up passing the Gnostic Wisdom course out of curiousity and continue afterwards elsewhere also out of their curiousity.
All courses are interesting, but each course has its own porpuse and place, and if followed with dedication, each course will give to an attentive student a special gift.
However, please do not understand me wrong when I speak in this way about curiousity, because there are different kinds of curiousities, which is also very interesting to explore.

Hi, Gyorgi.
Wow. It is incredible that the first 3 courses are a taste of the esoteric work to follow. It really does makes sense now. I understand what you mean about curiosity, and thank goodness for it because what I thought was just interesting (gnosis) seems to be turning into more than I imagined.
Thanks very much for the explanation!

I have not taken meditation course as yet - because it is yet to be introduced for online students - but I can say for the other courses that they are the preparation of the work.
Without having done these basic courses and without having sufficiently practised the techniques given there, and moving onto the Gnostic wosdom course, is like trying to play a game without knowing its rules - and getting knocked out for that, and as a result giving up.
As Gyorgi had said, most of the information from the Gnostic wisdom would be a theory for us, still it is like a map of the path left by those who have walked upon it. And the real keys of the work are explained in this course only. And one can understand and practise the exercises from this course, only after having understood and practising the exercises from the Self-discovery course and the Astral course.

Meditation course is a very good preparation for the Gnostic Wisdom course.
It is a very practical course with a minimum of theoretical material.
In my opinion, it gives an opportunity for students to polish the basic techniques, to explore the ways to make them work, before a more advanced practices would be introduced.

Hi, Manpreet and Vadim.
Thanks for your responses. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I am understanding that gnosis is itself a practicum. Like, even in laboratory work or creating a piece of art, one has to understand and learn how to use the equipment or supplies before even carrying out the exercise and the equipment for deeper practice of gnosis are the 3 preliminary courses.

Hi Queena,
The exercises are the equipment and you are right about understanding them properly.

Hello tcdq
I just wanted to point out that it is only mandatory to take the Self-Discovery and the OBE course before the Gnostic Wisdom course, the Mediation course is optional, even if I personally can recommend it.

Thanks, Mattias I.
My sentiments exactly. I will take your advice and sign up for Meditation after I finish the Self-Discovery course. There are a lot I need to work out before consciously facing OBE.

Hi Queena!
I wondered what happened to you. I've been looking for you in the Dreams class and you were nowhere to be found. I'm taking self discovery next, then probably meditation and then Gnostic Wisdom. So, hopefully, I'll see you in the Gnostic Wisdom course. How do you like everything so far?
