Mining Gnosis Through the Tao Te Ching–verse 40
You may wonder why I am talking about the Tao Te Ching here in this Gnostic venue. The answer is that the Tao Te Ching helped me mine my own gnosis years prior to discovering the books of the Nag Hammadi, proving that we can all mine gnosis without having access to so-called Gnostic texts. As we seek out the Truth in religions and sacred writings, it is our own gnosis that draws the understanding out of these sources. Steeping oneself in religion without using discernment to mine the gnosis therein does us no good. Merely being “religious” does nothing to advance your wisdom or understanding of the world and God if you do not mine the gnosis to be found there. But if we read with a gnostic heart and mind, then the gnosis is there to be found. When you find a verse or precept that clicks with you—that is your gnosis being mined.

Interview with Bishop Wilson pt. 3: Gnosis Hidden in the New Testament
Bishop Nathan Wilson: “So what brings you to God basically as well, that divine presence you experienced within yourself or what gives you the divine spiritual baptism. I feel very much like that.
I also liked The Wisdom of Solomon where it says that Sophia is the emanation of God, the life giving spirit. And that’s beautiful as well. So what makes humans friends of humans and prophets, friends of God, which is being mentioned in that very old text and that’s before Jesus time and Christians adored that text. It’s very, very Gnostic. So it’s the text that mentions basically a Messiah will call himself a child of God and a son of God. And he will be put to death in a shameful way. So very much adored by Christians and rejected by Jews. And then later on rejected by Protestants because it was just too Gnostic. They don’t want anything basically. So, but that’s a very, very Gnostic element being at the start.”

Journey to Gnosis
I have continued to develop the Gnostic theology as presented in the Tripartite Tractate through my Gnostic Insights podcast. I have also had the pleasure of presenting this Gnostic theology as a guest on numerous podcasts hosted by others. The book, A Simple Explanation of the Gnostic Gospel, represents the current state of my personal gnosis within the context of a fully developed Gnostic theology. Although The Gnostic Gospel Illuminated presents everything one needs to know to remember the gnosis they were born with, A Simple Explanation of the Gnostic Gospel goes beyond The Gnostic Gospel Illuminated to explain, as simply as humanly possible, the why’s and wherefores of gnosis.

Transpersonal Consciousness and Gnosis
Transpersonal consciousness, the Akashic record, and morphogenetic fields are all names for the “mind of God” that informs our universe and saturates our space. This external memory is shared by us all. How does it work and how can you tap into this limitless wisdom?
