Description: Explanation of the Gnostic path of Christianity revolving around direct experience and looking within one's self.
Gnosticism is the mystical arm of Christianity. Mysticism is the search for the Divine within one's self. It is a search within. Gnosis is a Greek word for "knowledge." However, this is not mere book learning; not a garnering of facts. The Gnostic path is a path of direct enlightenment or direct experience - inner subjective knowledge. Once gained, this experience cannot really be communicated to others with words. Gnostics believed that the point of the teachings of Jesus was to pursue this inner path. In Luke 17:21 Jesus advises us that the Kingdom of God is within us. He is asked where the kingdom could be found. He recounts that others will say "look here" or "look their" but the Kingdom of God is not something that can be seen - it does not come with observation. Thus he is truly telling us that the Kingdom of God is within us.
