"Gnostic revelation is always immediate, direct and intuitive. It radically excludes intellectual operations of a subjective kind and it has nothing to do with the experience and assemblage of basically sensorial data.

Intelligence or Nous in its gnoseological sense, although it can indeed serve as a basis for enlightened intellection, roundly rejects falling into vain intellectualism.

The ontological, pneumatic and spiritual characteristics of Nous (Intelligence) are clear and evident

In the name of truth, I solemnly declare that the Being is the only real existence, before whose ineffable and terribly divine transparency, that which we call “I”, ego, "me,” “myself", is merely outer darkness, wailing and the gnashing of teeth.

Self-gnosis or the self-gnostic recognition of the Being, given the anthropological aspect of the Pneuma or Spirit, turns out to be something decidedly savioristic.

To know oneself is to have achieved indentification with one’s own divine Being.

Knowing oneself to be identical with one’s own Pneuma or Spirit, directly experiencing the identification between the known and the knower, is what we can and must define as Self-Gnosis.

Ostensibly, this extraordinary unveiling invites us to die in ourselves in order for the Being to manifest in us."

Samael Aun Weor
