Belief

When it comes to Gnosis... It is just a word, Gnosis. In many ways I have been searching for Gnosis, even before I had heard of the word. Searching for truth, for knowledge, for knowledge about reality. I have for a long time been interested in religions, but have found little meaning in taking it as truth. Of course, belief can make one feel secure. And it can give some secure feeling in believing. But I did not find that enough, even if I tried to understand the purpose of believing...

dsc00058.jpg?w=300&width=300Belief can lead to fanatic behaviour... In everything basically. Let's say you read something that says that reality is in a certain way, but you don't actually know... If you like it, you can believe in it, just because you like that idea of reality. Or, you can more or less say that it is false, because you do not like it or because of any other reason, but that is a belief also (unless you actually know)... Or you can simply say "well, I don't know whether this is true or false" and that is a more objective aspect. This might however be difficult to do always when having so much going on inside of us that goes unnoticed...

For one who seeks truth, this is an important topic I think. In my experience, fanatic behaviour is so easy to have... Even if one says that one knows that fanaticism is a bad thing, it seems to be difficult to spot sometimes... Sometimes it can be difficult getting rid of, because the belief feels secure and the mind has a way of persuading one that one is not fanatical...

So, it seems to be very, very, very important NOT to take ANYTHING that you don't know, as truth. That is, if you want to find Gnosis, if you want to find knowledge, if you want to know reality, if you want to know yourself, if you want to KNOW ANYTHING. You do not know in a belief. It is important to watch out for this... To make it your search, to be objective... Not to get attached to some things that sounds good, just because you like them... They can be true, but in order to know, fanatic behaviour is best to watch out for...

So, even when reading teachings about that which is called  Gnosis, it is important not to get attached to the theories... The important thing is to explore things for oneself and perhaps use the theories as a map... To see if the map is correct... This expression I had heard before and agreed, but it took some experience to really understand the importance of it... And I thought it was a very relevant topic to bring up. This is my search, nobody else's... My search.

If you want to find Gnosis, find knowledge, then that is your search, nobody else's... Nobody else can find knowledge for you.

"I wouldn't be surprised if a "killer" pushed her under the bus, like they did with Isaac Kappy, pushing him off the bridge to make him look suicidal, when we know he wasn't suicidal, he just feared for his life."
