>What is the Congregation of Gnosis?

art-school-of-athens-1143741_1920

The Congregation of Gnosis is dedicated to the furthering of society by teaching a wide range of topics on science, mathematics, culture, and philosophy. We aim to bring a new society, wherein each and every one of its members are practicing their passions while contributing to the betterment of the society.

-Those who seek, do not know [regarding the Gnosis]
-René Guénon

Guénon is right. Those societies or humans, that dedicate themselves to "seek" gnosis (or knowledge) are bound to fail. For true gnosis can only be transmitted and given, for it has existed since beginning. It cannot be searched or "found": for it has existed since the beginning.

Those, who seek, do not possess the keys to it.

It exactly is so. Gnosis cannot be linear, it cannot be achieved, it exists and will exist.

You cannot display in terms
A -> knowledge increases -> B -> Gnosis is achieved

It doesn't work that way. That is in boundaries of quantity and linear progress. Gnosis is not exoteric, is not quantitative. You cannot search for it, for it can only be transmitted: it is suprarational, not in the domain of rationale or spoken language. I am sorry.

All that is in domain of exoteric knowledge can never achieve anything that is in the sphere of Gnosis. It is abuse of language if you claim that a written text would increase one's 'gnosis': it is absurd and wrong use of the terms. What westerners understand by knowledge is strictly in the domain of quantitative facts written in form that can be memorized and it is strictly exoteric form of knowledge: not gnosis.

We do not claim to "achieve" gnosis. We simply want to further society by motivating people to practice and master their passions for the betterment of society.

Aaaahhh I see what you're getting at but that's only in Gnosticism. Gnosis can have more definitions than one. In this case it's much simpler in that it includes the exoteric. Sorry for the confusion.

I understand that Gnosis can also be defined as the internal divinity of people

There is a possibility that the texts displayed on that site might in fact decrease one's chance of discovering gnosis.

This is especially true, if the writers of those documents in question, would have no direct experience of any sort of gnosis. What you are doing might most likely be harmful: because you do not know what you are doing.

You are like blind pig
