The Rule of Gnosis
The guiding principles of our spiritual community — a living framework for the pursuit of divine knowledge.
Pursuit of Gnosis
We dedicate ourselves to the pursuit of gnosis — the inner, experiential knowledge of the divine. We seek to awaken the divine spark within each of us, transcending the limitations of the material world and embracing the fullness of our spiritual nature.
Sacred Texts
We honor the Gnostic scriptures — including the Nag Hammadi Library, the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Philip, the Gospel of Truth, the Gospel of Mary, and other sacred texts — as wellsprings of spiritual wisdom. We study these texts not as rigid doctrine, but as living guides to inner transformation.
The Divine Spark
We recognize that every human being carries within them a divine spark — a fragment of the transcendent God that connects us to the Pleroma, the realm of divine fullness. This spark is not diminished by gender, sexuality, race, or any worldly distinction.
Radical Inclusivity
We affirm the sacred worth of all people. We especially welcome those who have been marginalized by conventional religious institutions, including LGBTQ+ individuals, who we recognize as bearers of unique spiritual gifts. We celebrate the full spectrum of human identity as an expression of divine creativity.
Self-Discovery
We encourage each seeker to embark upon their own journey of self-discovery and self-expression. The path to gnosis is deeply personal — it requires looking within, confronting illusion, and discovering one's own divine nature. We support each individual in this sacred work.
Beyond Dogma
We hold that spiritual truth transcends rigid dogma and external authority. Like the Gnostic teachers before us, we value direct spiritual experience over unquestioned belief. We encourage questioning, seeking, and the freedom to explore truth through personal revelation.
Community and Fellowship
We gather in community not to impose uniformity, but to support one another on our individual paths. Our fellowship is a sanctuary — a safe harbor where seekers can share their experiences, learn from one another, and grow together in wisdom and love.
Ethical Living
We commit to living ethically and compassionately. We reject judgment and condemnation, recognizing that true sin lies not in our identities but in actions that cause harm. We strive to embody love, kindness, and respect in all our dealings.
Spiritual Transformation
We believe in the transformative power of gnosis. Through spiritual awakening, we shed the illusions of the material world and come to know our true selves as divine beings. This transformation is not a destination but an ongoing journey of growth and illumination.
The Kingdom Within and Without
As the Gospel of Thomas teaches, "The Kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you." We seek to realize this truth — that the sacred is not separate from us, but woven into the fabric of our being and our world. We strive to make the inner like the outer, and the outer like the inner, living in harmony with the divine.
