Key Practices

 
our theosophy

There are many different states of meditation, but all meditation is a state of alertness in which one is completely aware of what is transpiring in one’s consciousness and one’s environment. Essentially, meditation is a state in which one is fully alert, yet also fully relaxed.

In Gnosticism the practice of mindfulness is not limited to formal sessions of meditation, but is integrated into one’s daily activities. As much as a Gnostic performs formal sessions of prayer, meditation, and ritual; the Gnostic also seeks to cultivate mindfulness throughout the day, ultimately seeking union of spiritual practice and daily living. It is this that leads to the development of higher states of consciousness and actual Self-realization.

Any activity can be a practice of mindfulness, and coupled with Primordial Meditation the Goodness within oneself will naturally shine forth.
