Universal Logic Passed On By The Ancients

gno•sis (nō'sĭs)
n. Intuitive apprehension of spiritual truths, an esoteric form of knowledge sought by the Gnostics.

I’d like to give a special thanks to my friend Neil who actually introduced me to this word through a song he wrote years ago. It was something that I’ve always thought even as a youngin’ yet I couldn’t put into words. I believe this was the word I was searching for and have used it ever since. (By the way Neil is literally a musical genius…check out his stuff)

Intuition is an aspect of my life that is hard to control but one of those things that I have a high sensitivity to. I believe there are inherent spiritual truths that perhaps the ancient religions and civilizations touched upon, but often through the clamor of the outside world, we are desensitized or even unaware of.

Particularly when it comes to people, I can seriously point to times where I’ve been able to predict patterns of behavior based on a combination of heightened empathy and what I suppose is Gnosis. Some would see it as ‘future telling’ (I can’t do this with lottery numbers or gambling unfortunately). I believe that although the heightened sensitivity to people’s feelings guides me to look into them, often I see past that…into a deeper untapped understanding, that ironically I don’t quite understand. It’s like “seeing someone’s soul” and if you wanna get really deep, the soul can cross time barriers.

It’s that “uneasy” feeling you get when things aren’t quite right. Or the reason why you gel so well with certain people. Often you know things before you really know them. Have you experienced this? If you know me, I have you experienced this with me, or have I said something to you that relates?

My encounters with many of my close friends have been that way. I can remember the exact moments I met most of my good friends and it was a feeling that I had about them before I really even got to know them. Perhaps it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy, or visual cues but I actually believe that we all generate a type of energy that can’t be observed except through a sensory organ that governs intuition. Some people give off that they need a certain type of people in their life and if we’re lucky, those type of people feel they need you as well. So we come together for whatever reason be it temporary or permanent; perhaps to teach each other a life lesson.

This energy is not only useful in meeting my friends but I remember a time where a friend was angry with me and I had no idea, and within a few seconds of being in close proximity, even with my back turned, I could sense something was wrong. Fortunately it was just a misunderstanding, but when it happened, it felt as if an energy was being REMOVED from my body. Almost as if a portion of the energy she had given me throughout our friendship was snatched from me. Interesting ish!

To say “everything happens for a reason” is a bit clichéd. And frankly some things happen for no apparent reason, but then think about it…every action has a REASON. So that statement is a bit…well, dumb.

BUT, I do think if you pay close enough attention you can experience a higher sense. It is through this that I met people that are instrumental in my life either now or for the future or both. Not only to meet people but to understand them. Gnosis will allow you to use your intuition towards understanding.

Pay attention!
