Description

The Ancient Wisdom or Gnosis is a book written by William Kingsland that explores the concept of ancient wisdom and its relevance in modern times. The author delves into the teachings of various spiritual traditions including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Christianity to uncover the common thread of esoteric knowledge that runs through all of them. Kingsland argues that this ancient wisdom, or gnosis, is not something that can be learned through intellectual study alone, but must be experienced through personal revelation and inner transformation. He explores the role of meditation and other spiritual practices in accessing this knowledge, as well as the importance of living a moral and ethical life.The book also delves into the concept of the divine and the nature of reality, arguing that these are not separate concepts but rather different aspects of the same ultimate truth. Kingsland draws on the insights of mystics and philosophers throughout history to support his arguments and provide a comprehensive understanding of the ancient wisdom.Overall, The Ancient Wisdom or Gnosis is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the spiritual traditions of the world and their relevance for modern seekers of truth and meaning.THIS 24 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Gnosis or Ancient Wisdom in the Christian Scriptures or the Wisdom in a Mystery, by William Kingsland.
