Wikipedia needs an expert on Gnosticism

[Guest guest]

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. "

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,

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. "
