The Lord gives wisdom (sophia), from his face come knowledge (gnosis) and understanding (sunesis)" — Proverbs 2.6. Philo also refers to the "knowledge" (gnosis) and "wisdom" (sophia) of God. Gnosis is the practical, fact-based knowledge of [[Consciousness]] that guides us to fulfill our highest potential and directly experience our spiritual connection with Life, to be a knower of purpose and feel the source of our innate happiness. | The Lord gives wisdom (sophia), from his face come knowledge (gnosis) and understanding (sunesis)" — Proverbs 2.6.

==Individualism and Gnosis== | |||
All individuals have outer organs of perception, as well as inner higher sensory abilities that make it possible to perceive and feel the environment, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, and while in this process of integrating life’s experiences, are continually gaining deeper knowledge about the self and the nature of reality. Individuals gain knowledge through a range of life experiences and by consciously participating with the spiritual development path through these direct experiences is called [[Gnosis]]. [[Gnosis]] is the practical, fact-based knowledge of consciousness that guides us to fulfill our highest potential and directly experience our spiritual connection with Life. It allows us to be a knower of purpose and to feel the source of our innate happiness that is connected to our heart and soul. | |||
All individuals have the capacity to use their mind, but in the controller culture we have not been educated or trained to use our mind for the greater purpose of positive development, gaining knowledge and self-realization. Knowledge is the by-product of the observation, mental integration and the state of consciousness of an individual formed through their perceptions of reality and the self-awareness that has been gained throughout life experiences. | |||
The concept of [[Individualism]], as in every person’s life is their own, is critical to comprehend in cultivating the self-knowledge and self-awareness that is gained through [[Gnosis]]. Once individualism and the rights for personal autonomy are stripped away, independent and critical thinking are replaced with the authoritarian socially imposed group think, which forms into a hive mind based in [[Collectivism]]. This prevents the individual from gaining direct knowledge through Gnosis, and is why the [[Controller]]s continually push for mind control and use [[Propaganda]], for positive promotional marketing for societal structures based in collectivism ideology. To be on the path of Gnosis in order to gain greater self-knowledge, every individual first must take complete ownership over themselves and dedicate themselves with effort, towards building greater [[Personal Autonomy]] and skills of self-leadership.<ref>[https://energeticsynthesis.com/index.php/resource-tools/news-shift-timelines/3427-individualism-autonomy-and-self-leadership Individualism, Autonomy and Self Leadership]</ref> | |||
