Welcome to Gnostic Life
Welcome to the Gnostic Life website. We would be interested in
hearing from individuals who are looking for an opportunity to develop
their spiritual lives and to discover their truth, their God and their
path in life through initiation in the Sacred Gnostic Mysteries.
We are not here to preach or to give advice. We stand at the door as
guides and mentors, sharing our experience and laying out the initiation
programme that has worked so effectively for us, outlining the process
that has transformed our own lives.
If you are ready to make a new beginning, we believe that what we offer
an exceptional service that can exceed the benefits of a lifetime of
learning.
It is essential that confidentiality regarding the Gnostic Initiation
process is maintained and all participants will be expected to sign a
confidentiality agreement and individual anonymity is assured.
Our approach and philosophy may best be understood by Henri Nouwen’s
‘Hospitality’.
Hospitality
means
The creation of a free space where the stranger can enter and become a friend
instead of an enemy. Hospitality is not to change people but to offer them a
place where change can take place.
It is not to bring men and women over to our side but to offer freedom not
disturbed by dividing lines.
It is not to lead our neighbour in to a corner where there are no alternatives
left but to open up a wide spectrum of options for choice and commitment.
It is not a method of making God and our way in to the criteria for happiness
but the opening of an opportunity for others to find God and their way.
The paradox of hospitality is that it wants to create emptiness...not a fearful
emptiness but a friendly emptiness where strangers can enter and discover
themselves as created free;
free to sing their own songs, speak their own languages, dance their own dances, free also to leave and follow their own vocations.
Hospitality is not a subtle invitation to adopt the lifestyle of the host but
the gift of a chance for the guest to find his or her own.
