Default Hey You!

Hi, I'm trying to get a general headcount of how many of us there actually are. If you're gnostic, just post here saying "i'm here"

Not sure what i am anymore Ash, i still believe in many Gnostic concepts, but not really like the ancients did - it seems a bit cheeky to call myself Gnostic. But i still read the texts.

Check out the writings of Meister Eckhart Rev, i see a lot of Gnostic thought in there, but without the accompanying mythology.

I have a soft spot in my heart for Gnostisicm, always will I guess. There is an excellent site called Metahistory which adopts Gnosticism in a very modern and offeres a view of it consistent with rational mysticism. Might be interesting for anyone interested...

If you don't mind, would you give me your definition of what a Gnostic would be
I looked it up on Wikki but for some reason it still isn't too clear for me.

That's about as close as you'll get mate You'd be better off looking up the definition of "gnosis" in the dictionary, and decide if that's what you believe in.
