Gnosis
I've been seeing posts lately inquiring about this mystic experience we know as Gnosis.
I hope this guides those who are sincere in their quest. This is the first time I'm posting this.
Seek until you find, meaning devote yourself to gain divine knowledge by digesting gnostic texts by heart (eating of the flesh and drinking of the blood in mysticism). No specific rituals or spending on religious objects necessary or joining a group. Be solitary. Just pure understanding and the will to know the truth (research, study, be honest and don't be superstitious about it).
You can also cross reference gnostic practice with Kundalini Yoga, just don't get overwhelmed though, there's a lot of different traditions pointing to the same goal, the awakening of oneself to the realization that "I AM" divine, God made flesh, Christ within us, etcetera.
Reflect and contemplate on the acquired knowledge in daily life.
When your consciousness evolves, your dreams becomes vivid and frequent and sometimes prophetic. Synchronicities happens one after another. Visions become common (like watching a video clip in an OLED screen). Trust the process and don't rush, you'll be astonished but this is just the beginning.
MEDITATE. Practice the mandala found in the Gospel of the Egyptians (I E O U), The Discourse on the Eighth and Ninth, too many to mention all but this is the basic. You can also learn from Robert Monroe's Gateway Experience so you can have a taste of an altered state of consciousness.
If I tell you exactly what the experience is, I might ruin it for you because you'd have expectations on the outcome or might challenge your patience. But I'll give you a hint, read about what the prophets/apostles witness when Jesus appears to them (in a vison) and study The Gospel of Philip, the bridal chamber is basically the mystic experience.
Known and understand that there is only one God/Power and we perceive that divinity within us differently, ie when Hindus have it they perceive Krishna, we as Christians/Gnostics perceive Jesus and so on.
Clear your mind and don't let guilt hinder you from pursuing Gnosis just because we are "unworthy" or sinful, or whatever religion/society has been telling us from a very early age.
