Gnosis and knowledge

[EverChanging]

I am curious how Luciferians here define gnosis. Do you distingush it from knowledge?

What do you mean by gnosis and how is it attained? Once attained is it a temporary state or something more permanent?

What sort of knowledge do you seek?

 

[SabahTheLoner]

Gnosis; the practice of achieving alternative states of consciousness in order to achieve a goal (usually of magic or knowledge).

Knowledge; the obtaining and retaining of facts and ideas by various means (mental understanding, written records, etc).

Self knowledge and individuation from dialog with your daimon.

Michael W Ford has a video about it out there somewhere. {While I disagree with him about many things, I do agree with him regarding Luciferian Gnosis.}

If you would like an example of this from Buddhism, google up "Sakka's Questions."

Thank you -- I always find references to Buddhism helpful.

Luciferian Gnosis is that fleeting moment when something becomes crystal clear to your understanding regarding that something.

I was under the impression that gnosis what defined as knowledge and/or understanding. There's a Hebrew term "Tabuwn" that would fit the bill appropriately, imo. The term is typically used in conjunction with wisdom "Sophia". That, from what I understand about the Luciferian path, is the crux and appeal, which can be a bit of a double-edged sword. The way knowledge or gnosis is applied makes the difference - for better or worse.
