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. | |

| Vidya | (Sanskrit) Science, knowledge. Hinduism defines two forms of vidya: 1. aparavidya: lower knowledge, which is acquired through the intellect 2. paravidya: higher knowledge, gained through intuitive, conscious, spiritual experience, and leads to liberation from the ego.
This term is also used in a Tantric application, where vidya (Tibetan: rig ma) refers to a "knowledge woman" or tantric consort. |

Quote of the Moment
“Truly in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of the night and day are signs for those of heart: those who remember God while they are standing, sitting, and in repose, and meditate on the creation of the heavens and the earth: "Our Lord, You have not created this in vain. Glory to You! Keep us safe from the torment of fire.”-Koran
