Every child that is born is God asking, 'Who am I?' and every lifetime is a unique attempt at finding an answer, yet at our common centre we already are what we are. In the stillness of our essence there is no coming or going. No incarnation. No evolution. No realization. Only blissful Gnosis. The Mystery knowing itself.
The purpose of the secret teachings of the original Christians is to guide us on our journey of becoming until we reach the destination, which is consciously being, to help us stop identifying with the psyche-body and become aware of our deeper nature, as the mysterious source of all. This fulfils the primal aspiration which inspired Consciousness to create the cosmos. When we know we are the Mystery, the Mystery knows itself.

Gnosis is Consciousness of Oneness.
