Gnosticisim

Which brings us to the point of combating this tendency in our twenty-first century world. Indeed, one finds that most religious scriptures take the forms of myths. Although spiritual knowledge thus rests on personal religious experience, it is a mistake to assume all such experience results in just the knowledge of ones recognitions. I believe that the way of combating this is first through prayer, “with you also helping together by prayer for us, so that the gracious gift by many persons be the cause of thanksgiving through many for us” (2 Co 1:11), secondly through fasting, (1 Co 7:5) “Do not deprive one another, unless it is with consent for a time, so that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer. While others live largely in their psyche. Such people usually mistake the Demiurge for the True God and have little or no awareness of the spiritual world beyond matter and mind. And come together again so that Satan does not tempt you for your incontinence”. Thirdly, by believing and having faith, through faith all things are possible through Jesus Christ our Lord. Some are earthbound and materialistic beings that recognize only the physical reality. (Rom 5:1) “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. The term “myth” should not be taken to mean “stories that are not true”, but rather the truths embodied in these spiritual writings are of a different order from the point of views of the statements of philosophy. EACHING based on Gnosis, the knowledge of transcendence arrived at by way of interior, intuitive means. It is nearer the truth to say that Gnosticism expresses a specific religious experience, an experience the does not lend itself to the language of theology or philosophy, but which is instead closely affined to, and expresses itself through, the medium of stories or myth.

Whereas in the world as we know, it contains a perishable physical and psychic component, as well as a spiritual component, which is a fragment of the divine essence.
