But instead of simply reacting to the environment, we started to affect the environment for our own benefit. From the axe to the computer chip, from setting fires to digging canals, from the wheel to nuclear power, we have certainly learned how to manipulate the material world. Our technology has become quite spectacular in recent times. We are now capable of terraforming a lifeless planet as well as ruining this one. What we do with our technology hinges on our reality.
Gnosis is the spiritual side of life.
The Gnosis greater paradigm is separated into the major paradigms of External and Internal Gnosis. External Gnosis was the first way in which humans tried to understand how the world works. It deals directly with spirit beings and magick. Spirit beings appear in all shapes and sizes in every culture from ghosts to nature spirits. Magick is a process in which the life-force of nature can be harnessed for a predetermined effect in the material world.
