Not the kind papa had on the James Brown Song though. So now my new knowledge interest is Gnosticism (did I spell that correctly?). What is it you ask? I do too so here’s the merriam webster definition:
: the thought and practice especially of various cults of late pre-Christian and early Christian centuries distinguished by the conviction that matter is evil and that emancipation comes through gnosis
Still confused? Me too…or at least I was until I dug a bit deeper. It focuses on your true origin, your true nature and returning to that essence. You can reach for that higher reality and the path to that is held within. It reminds me of Jesus in the Gospel of Luke when he was sitting at dinner with the Pharasees and Lawyers. The pharasees was somewhat taken aback by Jesus sitting down to eat without washing his hands first. I can’t lie. I would give a side ways look as well. Jesus said to the man (according to King James Luke Chapter 11) “And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.Ye fools, did not he, that made that which is without, make that which is within also?” Basically, where is the focus on what’s happening with the spirit. Our churches, mosques, homes, cars and sometimes bodies are so beatifully built and well kept, but the inside is rotting or rotten to the core.
This lost knowledge of self can seep through via “psychic” activity. Could this be the link that brings some type of meaning and direction to my dreams? We shall see.
