You can read an article "Gnosis Through the Ages" by simply clicking on it in the left-side menu.

The article helps a lot, particularly if you are new to Gnosticism. One of the defining elements of Gnosticism is the emphasis on gaining knowledge (gnosis) directly through experience.
There is a particular emphasis on gaining direct knowledge of oneself; understanding each thought, feeling, and action we have through direct observation. This knowledge also helps us to gain a better understanding of others.

I have to agree with Vadim and Gabrielle, read the article and if you have follow-up questions, feel more then welcome to post them. It would take up a lot of space to answer your question in depth and it would only be a summary of that article anyway?

AM I A GNOSTIC? Could well be .... It seems the same principles are what I believe and am endevoring to practice. For sure I know I'm a truth seeker.

QUESTION
Now is gnosticsm pretty synonomous with druidism? The only reason I know about druidism is because of my interest in England and also a good friend of mine is into reading interesting things about history.
