Glossary

Providing the definition and meaning of words and concepts used in the expression of the Gnostic Dharma.

This glossary or dictionary is but a small introduction to the vast scope of the Gnostic Teachings. The knowledge given in the writings of Samael Aun Weor ranges across the whole of human experience and therefore draws on the world's great treasure of language and mystical expression; what cannot be expressed accurately in one language or religious context may find its perfect meaning in another tongue or theology.

Glorian Publishing invites additions, suggestions and corrections for all the terms in this Glossary.

You can always search for entries (regexp permitted).

Microcosmos	(Greek) Micro means “small, little, trivial, slight.” Cosmos means “order, harmony, the world (from its perfect order and arrangement).” In Universal Gnosticism, the term microcosmos refers to the human being, who is a universe in minature.

Quote of the Moment

“The mechanical evolution of Nature does not save anybody; time does not save anybody. It is necessary to be born again, and this subject matter about birth has been, is, and will always be an absolutely sexual matter.”
-Samael Aun Weor, The Esoteric Course of Kabbalah

Learn about the deep meanings hidden in this famous Biblical story.

"The book of Genesis is a Gnostic book written by Gnostics; the whole book hides the mystery of Daath, the Hebrew word for knowledge, which in Greek is Gnosis. So, Genesis is 100% Gnostic, whose myths hide a lot of knowledge."

"The initiated priest, in a state of ecstasy, perceives the substance of Christ, and magically transmits his own influence on the bread and the wine, thus awakening the Christic substance that is found in these elements which can in turn perform miracles, awakening the Christic powers of our internal bodies." - Samael Aun Weor, The Perfect Matrimony (1950)
