    4-30-2007 - In the process of making a complete transition regarding my faith. Many Orthodox may look at this and be confounded, and feel assured they have such a faith. The issue is not your "faith", but the "doctrine" that is clung to, and inadvertantly becomes a "retarding" factor of "faith". And this is the strength and error of "Orthodoxy", the adherance to errant creeds and mis-representation of the faith. To the end effect, we, you and I, become the slaves and servants of any we elevate to have authority over us, be it political officials or religious leaders.

    What is this gnosis? What do these people know? Gnostics are supposed to be the people who know.

    What do the knowers know? You know who you are. You know where you came from. You know where you are going. And you know what you are supposed to do. So, when the gnosis comes, it is sufficient for the purpose. =========================== What do the enlightened know? You know who you are. You know where you came from. You know where you are going. And you know what you are supposed to do. So, when enlightenment comes, it is sufficient for the purpose. It is not a human production. It is attentive reception. Waiting for a train running on an irregular schedule.
