Gnosis, itself, comes through your Inner Light, your hyperconscious, but your ego is unable to absorb it until your brain has been rechanneled to think in broader and deeper perspectives. This is a process that takes place over a long period of time, under the instruction and direction of a Gnostic Master. Again, the master cannot make anything happen in you, nor will he tell you what to do, but he can, and will, help you acquire the necessary keys for rechanneling your brain, and allowing your ego to interface with your hyperconscious so that gnosis can begin to flow into your conscious mind. Actively entering into the pursuit of gnosis is a new stage of life, and as with all new stages of life, there are rites of passage into this one. In fact, there are a whole series of rites of passage at significant points in your pursuit of gnosis, but the first one with which you must concern yourself is baptism.
Baptism is a gate into a new level in the pursuit of gnosis.
Entering the water is like reentering the womb so that you can be reborn onto a new plane of existence. When you have been baptized, gnostic teachers and masters will help you prepare for the reception of gnosis through teaching, and through administering gnostic rites which have been used for millennia in the process of integration and psychic-metaphysical expansion. Baptism is available to anyone who desires to step forward in the pursuit of gnosis. You just need to tell one of the masters or teachers, who are working with you in meditation, that you want to be baptized and begin an accelerated program of gnostic preparation. They will make arrangements with you to commence the most exciting and fulfilling course of growth and expansion that you will ever undertake.
