The Gnostic Bible

I've been eager to learn why the church suppressed ancient written scriptures and am currently examining the index. I am pleased to receive a timely delivery of The Gnostic Bible.

Real and Practical Gnosticism, Not Theories

I find it interesting that every so often I hear people condemn Samael Aun Weor "claiming to be Gnostic when in reality he has nothing to do with Gnosticism." Well, here it is in this book, open for all to read, that these accusatory words fall wayside upon the gigantic wisdom presented on the pages of this book. Many people today like the ideas of the Demiurge, Sophia, the Archons and Aeons, Judas, etc. Yet, those who interpret these ideas today do so as they have interpreted all the other religious ideas, and they do so ignorantly, because - as sincere as they may be - they have no gnosis. These "Gnostics" reject the very thing the think they are looking for. Acquiring gnosis is not a subjective whimsical thing as many believe, it is an exact and profound science, and if you do not know the methods, then you will be forever lost in the outer darkness. In here, we discover the true Gnostic doctrine for the public to read. I invite you to do so! Yet, if you do not comprehend the statements in the book, read simpler books such as Revolutionary Psychology and The Great Rebellion: Gnostic Psychology and the Path to Liberation from Suffering.

Gnosis: The Hidden Science

The Pistis Sophia Unveiled was written from the direct experiences of the author with the Master Jesus of Nazareth from within the Internal Worlds. In it, Samael Aun Weor has unveiled the profound Alchemical and Kabbalistic teachings of the Holy Master from Gallilee, which have eluded scholars and religious practitioners for years. This is because this body of knowledge cannot be grasped solely through the intellect, but is a matter of direct experience, independant of opinions, dogma, theories or beliefs. The author has only unveiled two thirds of the Pistis Sophia in that serious practioners must come to realize these truths within themselves. It is a work for Initiates, or those who are "initiated" into this knowledge. This is not just a matter of believing, but is a matter of actually walking the Path and performing the necessary works. "But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?" (James 2:20). The unveiled Pistis Sophia is really just that, guidance for those souls who are performing the Work. Much of what is taught in the Pistis Sophia is never said, because it must be lived in oneself. As with Kabbalah (from Hebrew - kabbal: to recieve) the real depth of this knowledge is recieved through experience, according to the capacity within each practioner. Therefore, this knowledge can only be accessed through much patience, meditation, and psychological work upon oneself.

Prepare thyself before this venture...

They say that this book (Aun Weor's last, as well as unfinished) is the culmination of his life's work and profound wisdom. All I should say about this book, is that one should prepare oneself before reading this book...I would recommend becoming deeply familiar with the language of the Old and New Testaments first. As well, it would also help to learn a little more about the Gnosis left by Samael through his website www.gnosis-usa.com and through his many other texts. Holding this book in your hands is like experiencing life and death at the same time, it's like experiencing an unravelling mystery.

The Finest Gnostic Text Ever Written UNVEILED!

The Pistis Sophia has been a highly misunderstood text ever since it's discovery. Many intellectuals, pseudo-theologists and historians like to attach their own meaning based upon information that they gather from their five senses. This book, The Pistis Sophia UNVEILED, has commentary by the greatest Spiritual Master of our times, the Gnostic Master Samael Aun Weor. The commentary and text alike are 100% Kabbalistic and Alchemical. It can only be understood in the light of Gnostic Kabbalah. This book was written by the witnesses of the teachings of Jesus Christ after His resurrection. Obviously, Master Samael is able to explain this work and His teachings for our times. A must read! But recommended to read it with the other books of Master Samael Aun Weor.
