Gnosticism The term gnosticism derives from Latin gnosticus, which comes from Greek gnostikos (knowledge) and refers to gnosis which is a mystical and godlike knowledge of the heart and the soul. It is a journey of self-discovery and self-knowledge, which by experiencing the Truth within oneself awakes one's consciousness, hence bringing it into the state of pleroma (fullness or the totality of divine powers). "Matthew said, "Lord, I wish to see that Place of Life, that place in which there is no evil but rather where there is only pure light." The Lord said, "Brother Matthew, you cannot see it, as long as you wear the flesh." Matthew said, "O Lord, even if I cannot see it, let me know it." "The Dialogue of the Savior"- Codex III of the Nag Hammadi codices Uncovering this knowledge and the spiritual transformation that results from it is the goal of the gnostic seeker. Gnostic Teachings & Beliefs 1. These opposites are balanced and void in pleroma. Gnostic Practices Jesus' words to Thomas:
'Am I An Atheist Or An Agnostic?' by Bertrand Russell ~ Agnosticis A Plea For Tolerance In The Face Of New Dogmas by Bertrand Russell (1947) I speak as one who was intended by my father to be brought up as a Rationalist. He was quite as much of a Rationalist as I am, but he died when I was three years old, and the Court of Chancery decided that I was to have the benefits of a Christian education. I think perhaps the Court of Chancery might have regretted that since. It does not seem to have done as much good as they hoped. They arise chiefly out of reaction to a system of education which considers it quite right that a father should decree that his son should be brought up as a Muggletonian, we will say, or brought up on any other kind of nonsense, but he must on no account be brought up to think rationally. Sin And The Bishops Don't Be Too Certain! The question of how to define Rationalism is not altogether an easy one. The question is how to arrive at your opinions and not what your opinions are.

Human mind , soul and spirit Pat wrote:"The forum for talks about the intangible universe, the human mind, and the soul"I am very curious about what other people think the human mind is and what the soul is and spirit . Are they the same or different? What do they mean to you? Soul is my emotional consciousness, therefore when I am hurt I would say:"My soul hurts." Spirit is my driving force, my true self that guides me and supports me through life experiences. Mind is my watch, my computer, my calculator, my navigator, my passport, protector of my personality. My body is a vessel, boat where all three reside. Child, when born is Soul, Mind is system of knowledge and education, like an inner personal library or computer, Spirit is the same soul after experiencing Life and learning about self as it is, transformed soul, that has transcended this reality into the stable state of consciousness. Without body all this will not be possible, at least in this reality.That is how I see it at the time. Mirjana
