What do you understand gnosis or knowledge to be in a spiritual context?

Knowledge of your unconscious mind and how it interacts with your conscious mind. "Know Thyself;" "Gnothi Seauton."

Will you please elaborate on what such knowledge entails?

Will you please elaborate on what such knowledge entails?

You make sense of chaotic unconscious content that comes into consciousness. It usually ends up with what I call a *doh* moment.

 

[EtuMalku]

For myself, gnosis has always stood for that fleeting moment when something's true nature is revealed. Within the Herald of the Dawn this is a part of what we term the Primacy of Darkness.

 

[Kapalika]

Temporary insight or awareness into the nature of reality and the aham. In my religion, I might contextualize it in some sense as a brief, lite version of what sivagama aims to accomplish. The difference is the scale and timeline but the underlying mechanism is more or less the same.
