People mistake intelligence or intellect for Consciousness, and the very intelligent or very intellectual person is described as very conscious. We affirm that the Consciousness in man is, beyond all doubt and without fear of being mistaken, a very particular kind of “apprehension of inner knowledge”, totally independent of any mental activity. 

Gnosticism is a very intimate, natural and profound process, authentic in-depth esotericism, with very particular mystical experiences. It is an extraordinary doctrine that, fundamentally, adopts a mystical and, sometimes, mythological form. Gnostic knowledge always escapes the normal analyses of subjective rationalism. The correlate of this knowledge is the infinite intimacy of the person, the Being.
