Gnosticism

Based off "gnostikos;" a term not used in the New Testament, but of which Clement of Alexandria speaks of the "learned" (gnostikos) Christian in complimentary terms.# Morton Smith History of the term gnostikos 1973. Via Wikipedia.
Although it’s often conflated with early Christianity, Gnosticism isn’t a religion, but rather a way of being in the world – a path to self-realization and integration with a more profound sense of reality.
