What We Can Aspire to

Hi everyone,

When I first found Gnosis, I was very curious about the sort of person I would become if I took up the spiritual work in a serious manner. Would I really become a better person? In what ways? Would it be worth it?

Although practice and experience have been my best guides so far (and I'm thrilled with what I have experienced), in terms of looking at the bigger picture and gaining inspiration, I think this book paints a very clear picture of what true spirituality is...

In Book I, the friend of Armando is obviously someone very special. The qualities of love and understanding he exhibits, along with the way he can guide Armando through all those difficulties in the time of the war is amazing. To see the sort of individual Armando's friend (Judas) was gives me an idea of what I can aspire to.

To be able to help others in such a deep way. To have such immense peace even amidst horrible circumstances. And to have such a great knowledge of the state of humanity... It must be incredible.

I think that's the greatest teaching I took from the first part of the book.

Best,

Mike
