Whatever response you get here will be wrong.

It's a roleplay and totally not true.

Gnosis(greek word Γνώσης) just means knowledge.

So you are asking how to be smart? I don't know study?

>>19572728
So the Gnostics just want to learn? Is that it?

Egodeath is one way

What is that and how is it obtained?

>>19572731
That's what it means. Having knowledge over anything is a huge advantage. I suggest starting off reading Philosophy Platon for Knowledge, Budism for Neutrality.

>Gnosis is the common Greek noun for knowledge (γνῶσις, gnôsis, f.).[1] The term is used in various Hellenistic religions and philosophies.[2][3] It is best known from Gnosticism, where it signifies a knowledge or insight into man's real nature as Divine, leading to the deliverance of the Divine spark within man from the constraints of earthly existence

Yes, it is called Metaphysical West that's how Platon called it.

>>19572789
How do I start to understand? What books should I read?

Bump

Admittedly I'm unsure myself, but it seems to be similar to a deep trance state

Two versions of the story, OP.

1. Gnosis is intuitive salvific knowledge.
2. Gnosis is knowing god personally.

Gnostikos is different from praktikos breh
Don't be disingenuous.

Gnosticism was taught by mystery schools such as the Masons to prepare their members for a greater realization. That's it.

Its history is fascinating though, as is the occult's history in general.

>>19572698
Fairly certain it is the realization that we are a piece of the creator himself, and thus can tap into omniscience (akashic records). Gnosis is the state of mind that coincides with the transcendental infinite information we can access.
