Gnosis isn't an altered state of consciousness, that would be mindfulness. It's more of a realization that there is more to this world than it appears, like a rat realizing he's in a maze.

Arent you altering your consciousness that way ?

>>18630983
No, because you are still dealing with the present reality with the same faculties you had before. If you want to alter your consciousness, take drugs.

>>18630987
I dont, I just want to create certain state in which I will posses certain features. And I want to control it at will.

Mindfulness is the answer to what you are specifically looking for. Gnosis is something else entirely. That or 'magic,' if you want to go down that rabbit hole.
