• According to an article I read this morning, Gnostics believe in the "primacy of intellect over faith."  I believe that we must have faith in that which cannot be proven by science.  This means that I believe God exists and that he/she is perfect and that he/she is pure Love and Intellect and Spirit.  I believe that intellect should be used to enhance your faith.  There are experiences we have in our lifetime that cannot be explained or proven in any scientific way, but we Know deep inside that we have come in contact with Truth.  No one can take these experiences from you and they become the building blocks of your spiritual life. 

  
  

  In my experiences I have been embraced by the Comfort and Love of God.  I know he/she exists and loves me.  I have learned that I am unwilling to let go of what ever imaginary control I believe I have in my life.  In actuality, I have no control other than to be thankful and accepting or ungrateful and negative.  I have also discovered that I need to follow my path alone.  This means that I should not JOIN any groups.  I am willing to accept wisdom from wherever but I need to be strong enough to walk my path with my Creator without looking around for reassurance from others.

  
  

  So am I a Gnostic?  Not 100%.  I believe that faith and intellect must work together.  I am still very Eclectic in my beliefs.  I am somewhat Pagan because of my love for Mother Earth.  The Pagan in me embraces Wicca and the Goddess.  I am Christian because I follow the path of the Christ.   I am a human being.  I believe that God created us all and therefore, cannot play favorites.

  
  

  Now I have to get to work.  I believe my boss would not appreciate me playing on the computer all morning.

  
  

  Blessings.   zera
