The Gnostic Teaching is not a modern doctrine; it dates back to very ancient times. The Gnostic Teaching can be found in all cultures: Egyptian, Mayan, Greek, Celtic, etc. On the other hand, over the centuries, there had been always people interested in delving into the mysteries of the universe and the purpose of human life, searching for answers to the many questions of existence. In the last century, Master Samael Aun Weor summed up Gnosis by making it more understandable and practical for today’s humanity.

If we understand our faults and we learn to know how our mind works, we gradually become freer and freer. The progress depends on oneself, of one’s level of understanding and work.
