The Divine Feminine Principle

The Divine Feminine Principle
~//~

The Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine forces are found
within all true esotericism. To deny the feminine divinity would be incomplete.
Here are some of many different depictions of this feminine force or Divine Mother
known by her many names, including Mary, Isis, Maia, Tonantzin, Quatlicue, Quan Yin, etc.

We are happy to announce that new classes will be starting this week!

This lecture series will be taught by Sarah Ozolins.

Gnosis is a school dedicated to psychological and esoteric self-knowledge
through the application of timeless spritual Truths, or Teachings.

Gnosis, or truth, lives within each of us, but it is our task to awaken to that truth.

Seminar on Death: You're invited!

"The fear of death follows from the fear of life. 
A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time." 
~Mark Twain


The Missoula Gnosis Center will be holding a public seminar on the mysteries of death and dying, and you're invited!

From the moment we are born, we are destined to die, 
but we carry the fear of death with us throughout. 
This fear is based in profound ignorance and unconsciousness. 
Instead, let us live consciously so that we can die consciously.

Love

"Love and resentments are incompatible atomic substances.
Thus, resentments of any kind cannot exist within love.
Love is eternal forgiveness.

Love exists within those who feel true anguish for the suffering of
their friends and enemies. True love exists in those who work with all of their
heart for the well-being of the humble, of the poor, of the needy.

Love exists within those who, in a natural and spontaneous manner, 
feel sympathy for the peasant who waters the field with the sweat of his body,
or for the villager who suffers, or for the begger who asks for alms, 
or for the humble dog who, in anguish and sickness, dies of hunger on the 
side of the road.

Authentic generosity, true sympathy, and love exist when we help someone
with all of our heart; when in a natural and spontaneous manner
-without anyone demanding it from us- we take care of a tree
and water the flowers of a garden. . .

. . .We must be generous from our very heart, since true generosity 
is not of the mind; authentic generosity
is the perfume of the heart."
~S.A.W

We Are The World



Have you ever wanted to change the world?
It starts when we are young. We get to a certain age, look around, and realize that most people are inherently selfish, and our parents and the government don't know everything. We see suffering, war, famine, disease, and we want to do something about it. We might want to help starving people in Africa, save the turtles from extinction, discover the cure for cancer, and even protest for World Peace.
But despite this, we may still fight with our in-laws, hate our boss, and yell at people when they cut us off in traffic. 
We can't expect that our country won't go to war when our household or workplace are mini war zones. 
Society is composed of many individuals.
If the individuals possess greed, hatred, envy and anger, the fabric of society will be stained with those defects.

So how do we truly change the world?
Above the entrance to the Temple of Delphi is written the famous line "Nosce te Ipsum"; "Man, know thyself and you shall know the universe and its gods". 
To change the world, we must change ourselves. Truly, this is the only way. 
Do we know why we are here? Do we know where exactly we came from? Do we know what will happen to us after we die?
These are some of the questions that can follow us our whole life. But if we want to find the answers, we need the tools to wisely look inside and discover our psychological and esoteric realities. 
We have the power to radically eliminate our undesirable psychological elements and to cultivate the virtues of love, compassion, fogiveness, and serenity. 
This change is what will change the world, like a single drop of rain that sends ripples out across the water.






"If we want to do away with the greed of the World, we should profoundly comprehend that this World is within our own selves. We are the World. The greed of everyone else lies within us" -Samael Aun Weor
