Self Discovery

The primary purpose of life is like a voyage of discovery. As Columbus set out to find a new route to China, so we are born for the purpose of discovering a new world in ourselves. This is the Gnostic Way. God is one, and everything that comes from God is one as well. Hence, our souls are all one. We may be distinct entities, but the soul that makes up our core existence is one; one with God and one with all life forms. Alone we are vulnerable and unable to help ourselves in the event of some tragedy. Together we are powerful and more than able to compete with the natural world. As we discover ourselves, we also discover our relationship with others. The Gnostic Way is the next great chapter in the history of the human race. Through the Gnostic Way we are challenged to truly understand the world that God has created for us. As we grow, and become more attuned to God's desires for us, we will find the way to put a stop to war, crime, the abuse of nature, and the disconnection between the lower classes and upper classes of society. We will learn to feed not just those with wealth, but all the people of the earth. We will find a way to put our entire world population to productive labor. We will grow in intelligence, patience, and a willingness to live and let live. While it may be beyond us to build a paradise on earth, it is not beyond us to improve the living standards of every human being. In so doing we can allow everyone to live in freedom and prosperity. The Gnostic knows that God loves us equally, and wants us to find that same love for ourselves.
