Whats the difference between Chaos Magic Gnosis and the Gnosis of the Gnostic Christians?
– Magickal gnosis typically refers to a mental state of emptiness or openness, like the mind-blowing moment of orgasm or the quiet serenity in the depth of a meditative trance. The term was borrowed from the Gnostics, who use it to mean “knowledge” in the sense of intuitive truth, perceived with the inner eye despite the inherently distracting nature of the world.
