Jessenic View on Gnosis
intense level of ‘Anthropos talk’ with their ‘divine spark’, are not able to solve the old
problematic of establishing wise guidelines for a free individual life that does not hurt
Ekklesiastic communitarian life at all.
On the other hand, Jessenian Ekklesia will get very embarrassed if having to settle
issues regarding personal subjects, and, by mistake or inadvertence of the parts involved, have
gone out of the Anthropos control of some of its members, then unduly falling into collective
discussions.
In both cases of embarrassment, classical Gnosis had been supposing that the
quarrelers’ behavior was that of someone truly Gnostic, in other words, someone who,
although inclined to evil and to the awning of karmic psychism of the one’s past in the bosom
of Hylic and Psychic human types, was wisely searching the necessary aid for a reaffirmation
of the one’s fundamental aspiration: caring the free Anthropos as well as his free conduct, in
such a way that individual freedom did remain neither hurting collective freedom nor
disharmonizing the community where he very thoroughly used to practice his fraternal spirit.
It has been never mentioned in the bosom of Gnostic communities how a student could
repair the one’s fail and heal or correct the damages fortuitously caused by the one’s unwise
conduct; rather, demonstrating any action in this direction was even more beautiful and
appraised than that of someone always harmonious and wise in the one’s conduct, never
originating any damage to Ekklesia.
This is because, on the one hand, the uppermost, honorable and merciful Ekklesiastic
patience has always been tested and chiseled by that kind of occurrence; and, on the other
hand, Gnosis sees in the attitude of the human who fails and at the same time gets conscious
of that fail, then willing to relead oneself to wisest conduct, the true and most worthy conduct
of a Gnostic.
We once have been in our Bema Festival in Sao Paulo, Brazil, discussing with some
Jessenic pupils on PARDON as the topmost Gnostic endowment, when we have found two
words encircling which we should approach the subject, the first being SIMPLICITY; the
second, a Cabalistic operation out of the term ‘pardon’: PAIR-ENDOWMENT.
To be simple means to be wise about defining what yourself, a Gnostic human, must
settle with or attribute to yourself AND YOURSELF ALONE, not thus attributing to other
people, belonging now to your Ekklesia, now to the society sheltering us; to be simple means
to be able to wisely classify what issues, god or bad, were originated SOLELY IN YOUR
EGOCENTRISM, in your individuality which, sickened by the Fall, came to be an EGO, as
well as to determine how far an action was based on a either more or less selfness attitude, or
based on freedom of a individuality released, in a large extent or even totally, from
egocentricity.
In every scenarios, simplicity addresses an action the Gnostic has always and
exclusively performed in such a way for withdrawing from one’s very ‘divine spark’ the kind
of wisdom to lead the one away from the foolish conduct. Regarding this, Ekklesia should not
interfere in anything; otherwise, the Gnostic would lean on another wisdom than the one’s
own ‘divine spark’.
