Beyond Gnosis (1) I could not coin the term Metagnosis because I searched and found that it has already been used for some business organisation, and I could find no other prefix which would do the job with my precise meaning of it. So, tough luck Richard. But I can still talk about it, and I will. The question being is there really any point? Probably not. But what the hell go for it and have done with it !!! It is strange too because it also correlates with the last email I had which speaks of HUMAN NATURE and changeability and will power. So I was seeking ONE word which would mean Including gnosis but well beyond it.
One must begin by saying that there IS NO recognised and accepted cultural meaning of even what GNOSIS IS. What it means, what experience it is pointing to. I have my own meaning for it, and I will NOT BE MOVED. It is plain enough that over the last few millennia other people have found exactly the same thing. I have also met some people alive (through my lifetime here) who have found the same thing; albeit not many. Unlike many people I do NOT use the word GNOSTIC as applied to those who have this gnosis. I don't call them anything. I would simply say that they are with gnosis. But it plainly turns out that those who call themselves GNOSTICS are simply seeking gnosis, and are NOT with it. I have never found one of them who have gnosis. Not one. So, they have some other meaning for that word, yet they never ever ever tell you what it is and what that experience was, etc etc etc. Moreover, of the ones I have found in history who surely did seem to be with this gnosis they did not even call themselves Gnostics, and those who I have found alive then not a one of them ever called themselves anything, let alone Gnostics. Added to which you can look up ANY and ALL groups about Gnostics and not a one of them are talking about it. They have not got what I am talking about and what some others have known. But, it is to them whatever they want it to be. But not for me. So happy days and it makes the word USELESS. Just like the words The Transcendent Mystical Reunion are useless.
