Guest guest Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Dear All, Wikipedia is in need of attention from an expert on Gnosticism: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnostics The thing is, the historical subject of Gnosticism can be discussed in great detail, but who can talk about the real knowledge that is Gnosticism, itself? Only those who have experienced it, as Walter Russell explains: " Information is not knowledge. Our educational processes inform us, but until we have recognized the eternal truth which underlies that information, we have no knowledge of it. Like food in the grocery store, it is not nourishment, until it is converted to the blood stream. " /message/9517 And that is exactly the case with Gnosticism, which means " to know " - not just intellectually, but " on our fingertips " as Shri Mataji would say! regards to all, violet The Wisdom of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi... " Sahaja Yoga gives one the sensitivity of spirituality to really know who is a real spiritual personality, and who is a fake. It also gives one the sensitivity to know what is the suffering of another person and what is lacking in oneself. One becomes one's own judge. This is the last judgement, where one is going to judge oneself; the Kundalini is going to be the judge. After this judgement only, human beings will be selected as the people who have achieved the state of self-realisation and those who have not. The enlightened people were called as " Gnostics " . This comes from the Sanskrit word " Gna " , which means knowledge. But knowledge does not mean what one knows through the brain, because the brain or intelligence takes one to rationality, which has no wisdom behind it. Rationality can take one anywhere. It can justify anything, as it is not absolute. So one has to go beyond rationality by developing the higher senses of Divinity by which one can understand the real problems and the actual solution to all these problems. One has to understand that 'this religion' is the essence of all the religions. It is the only religion that gives the real experience within oneself, which puts one into that sensitivity for spirituality, which cannot be got out of any number of lectures, sermons, or books. Thus a Sahaja Yoga [a 'Union with the Divine'] knows and respects all the incarnations and saints. If we have to change this world, and if we have to save our people from complete destruction, we have to take to wisdom, and that is only possible when the brain is enlightened by the Kundalini. This is what is very important today, when we see that this world is on the verge of destruction. Of course, the Creator himself is very anxious to save us and that is why he has in these modern times which are called Kali Yuga, made the all-pervading power activated. So now a new age has started, which is called the Age of Aquarius (Kumbha) - meaning the pitcher carrier of spiritual holy water that is the work of Kundalini. The activity of the Kundalini is like the sap of the tree that rises and nourishes all the parts of the tree and does not get stuck at one flower (one centre only). Moreover these are special times. This is the resurrection time. The Last Judgement is done by the Kundalini. On the fingertips one can feel oneself and can judge oneself. Moreover, the all-pervading power has become very activated, so the Kali Yuga (Modern times) is passing into the Krita Yuga of the Brahma Chaitanya (activated all-pervading power). This is helping en-masse enlightenment and self realisation. After this will be the Satya Yuga (Age of Truth). We have to take advantage of this activity of the Brahma Chaitanya, by all the time being corrected by the all-pervading power and achieving our realisation and establishing it. After such a state, a person becomes very dynamic and compassionate. His race, sex, nationality and age do not hamper his dynamic life. There are so many blessings in Sahaja Yoga [union with the Divine] that it is impossible to compile them into a book, as it would require volumes and volumes to assemble the experiences of the Sahaja Yogis. Whatever one is doing now, is relative in this modern world. In relative terms, everything is working it out. This 'relative working out' is not going to give any absolute results. Absolute knowledge only comes from the Spirit, and so, unless we know the Self, the Spirit, we cannot know what is absolute, and what is the absolute truth. While we live in the relative world, we will always be quarrelling, fighting, and having wars. But if one is " in the Absolute " then one knows that there is only " one Truth " for everything, and there will be no more argument or discussion. Everybody will enjoy that truth, as it is absolute! All theories like 'Communism' and 'Capitalism' will fail, because they are not in the centre. When one is in the centre, one becomes the greatest capitalist because one has all the powers - and the greatest communist, because one has to share them with others! One has to give it to others, and that is the only way one can enjoy one's own powers! If one does not share them with others, one will never enjoy whatever one has achieved.
