Gnosis and the Mystical Experience. A wise man once wrote that at the doorway of gnosis all ‘ism’s’, including Gnosticism, must be left behind. But what exactly does gnosis entail? Is it the same as having a mystical experience or are they two different forms of enlightenment vehicles? And is gnosis and mysticism only for a select few or available to all human beings? Either way, we survey these two forms of direct experience with the Divine. And why Orthodoxy has tried for thousands of years to be the sole gatekeepers of these two muses of the Pleroma.
