There is Gnosis in the Buddhist doctrine, in the Tantric Buddhism from Tibet, in the Zen Buddhism from Japan, in the Chan Buddhism of China, in Sufism, in the Whirling Dervishes, in the Egyptian, Persian, Chaldean, Pythagorean, Greek, Aztec, Mayan, Inca, etc., wisdom.

If we carefully study the Christian Gospels, then we will find in them Pythagorean mathematics, the Chaldean and Babylonian Parable and the formidable Buddhist Moral.The system of teaching which was adopted by Jesus was the system of the Essenes. Certainly, the Essenes were one hundred percent Gnostics.

It is lamentable that the Catholic priests have destroyed so many documents and so many valuable treasures of antiquity. Fortunately, they could not destroy them all. During the age of the Renaissance some marvelous books were discovered by brave priests. Thus, despite the persecutions of the clergy, Dante Alighieri, Boccacio, Petrarch, Erasmus, etc., were able to translate books as famous as The Iliad and The Odyssey of Homer, true books of occult science. They also translated The Aeneid of Virgil, the Theogony, the Works and Days of Hesiod, the Metamorphoses of Ovid and other writings of Lucretius, Horace, Tibullus, Titus Livius, Tacitus, Apulius, Cicero, etc. All of this is pure Gnosticism.

The practical synthesis of Gnosticism in its absolutely revolutionary way is taught within the Gnostic Institutions.

We are not against any Religion, School, Sect, Order or Lodge because we know that all religious forms are manifestations of the Great Cosmic Universal Infinite Religion latent in every atom of the Cosmos.

We just teach the synthesis of all Religions, Schools, Orders, Lodges and beliefs. Our doctrine is the Doctrine of the Synthesis.

The Doctrine of the Synthesis cannot harm anyone, because it is the synthesis of all.

We invite the devotees of all cults, schools and beliefs to make a comparative study of religions.
