About Gnostic Schools

Posted on May 7, 2015

Gnostic schools are centers of practical esoteric knowledge, offering the ancient teachings of psychological and spiritual liberation to the sincere aspirant.

Gnostic schools are part of an international gnostic society, with a lineage that goes back several generations of direct teachings to Samael Aun Weor.

Gnostic teachings are universal, with a respect for all religious traditions, and grounded in a Western esoteric and Christian lineage. The teachings use the language of kabbalah and alchemy to understand the structure of the soul, the many facets of God, and the mysteries of creation, life and death.

A deep study of oneself through meditation is also necessary, so gnostic centers draw on the venerable wisdom of Buddhism so that a practical and psychological work can be established.

What was once strictly guarded knowledge in ancient esoteric schools is now basic knowledge: for example reading and writing were once reserved only for the priesthood, as was mathematics. Over time what was once esoteric and hidden has become exoteric, that is, knowledge available to everyone.

In ancient times seekers from all over the world would travel to great places of learning such as the library of Alexandria just to have access to knowledge that we have at our fingertips.

In this time of abundance of information, it is the moment to work, to be practical, to study in an intelligent way and not get lost in theories or in the deluge of conflicting information.

Gnostic centers provide a path to learn about what is hidden from normal existence, to teach the secrets that awaken the consciousness and bring us to our true purpose.
