Glossary

glossaryProviding 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.

The Gnostic Glossary is being prepared for a print edition.

You can always search for entries (regexp permitted).

Reincarnation

This is the descent of divinity into a human being.  In order for the Innermost, the Spirit to Reincarnate, his Soul needs to build Astral, Mental and Causal Solar Bodies.
The incarnation of Christ into a human being is what is called an Avatar.  In Hinduism, Vishnu is the Christ, the Solar Logos.  This is why in India they say that reincarnation is performed by Vishnu.  Krishna spoke about this, by saying:  "Only the Devas reincarnate."

"Thus, Reincarnation is a feat accomplished only by the great illuminated souls, in which they consciously choose to be born in a particular time and place; in other words, they chose to incarnate the Being in a new physical body. Only beings with conscious development can do this.

"The word reincarnation is most demanding, it must not be used carelessly: No one would be able to reincarnate without first having eliminated the ego, without truly possessing sacred Individuality.Incarnation is a very venerable word, signifying in fact the reembodiment of the Divine in a man." - The Mystery of the Golden Blossom

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)
