Gnosis Lecture Series
Gnosis is the Greek word for knowledge. The word has meaning within the spheres of Christian mysticism, Mystery religions and Gnosticism where it signifies a 'spiritual knowledge' or religion of knowledge, in the sense of mystical enlightenment or 'insight'. Gnosis taught a deliverance of man from the constraints of earthly existence through 'insight' into an essential relationship, as soul or spirit, with a supramundane place of freedom.
Metaphysics is a traditional branch of philosophy concerned with explaining the fundamental nature of being and the world, and also dealing with First Cause and the Nature of Being.

This esoteric tradition is not necessarily limited to any one particular religion or mystical path. Hermetic philosophy embraces both the theoretical and the practical. Although not limited to these definitons, there are two overlapping yet quite different approaches to Hermeticism; the magickal/occult and the academic.
