Gnosis is a melody, a marvelous symphony; it is like the Music of the spheres. To experience the Living Gnosis, certain very precise ingredients must vibrate in unison in the heart of the aspirant, very much like the musical instruments in an orchestra. This may sound mere poetry, but it is an undeniable fact.

Many people, even among Gnosis, are unaware of this reality and are convinced that they are moving forward on the Path of Self-Realization. In the same manner that the world abounds with pseudo-esotericism and pseudo-religions, we must not fall into pseudo-gnosis.

In the name of Truth, out of love for our fellowmen, and in defense of true Spirituality, we must say that when falling into pseudo-gnosis, the keys that make the message of Samael Aun Weor the same message as that of Jesus, Buddha or Krishna, are no longer being taught in depth but only in their outward form. In this way, the soul and spirit of Gnosis are lost, leaving a teaching that is at best a preparation for the real Path. That is the crude reality of the facts.

Pseudo-gnosis is, in reality, an empty shell that has the appearance of Gnosis but with time, it does not allow to move deeply forward onto the Path.

The Living Gnosis is a specific experience that is lived in our inner Being. It is only by “living our Being” in every moment, within ourselves and in all things, that we can transmute our inferior nature into a higher form of Energy. Searching for this transcendental state in each moment involves a particular work on oneself which results in the awakening of our Consciousness through Mystical Death, the crystallizing of the internal bodies and the conquering of the Astral and superior Cosmic worlds by means of the Law of Octaves. It is also the only way to open the Inner Mind through meditation, thereby awakening latent faculties.

It is this particular experience that links together all the sacred Books (the Bible, Koran, Bhagavad-Gita...), all the great Traditions (Alchemy, Kabala, Yoga...), all the great Religions and Civilizations of the past. It is the very heart of the Eternal Gnosis and all our teachings of First and Second Chamber; the following are some topics:
