Key Understandings

our theosophy

Yeshua

Gnostic Christians view Yeshua as a human beingd by engaging in spiritual practice and spi being who became self- realised or enlightened.

We believe he was not born Christ but became Christed by engaging in spiritual practice and spiritual living. It is said that Yeshua was the incarnation of a great soul and he had accomplished self-realisation in previous lives.

Nevertheless, he had to travel the Path to enlightenment as any other human being does. In so doing he became a living example of the Path to Self-realisation or Enlightenment and was empowered to teach others how to attain Christ Consciousness.


Mary Magdalene

Mary of Magdal was the inmost disciple of Yeshua, receiving all teachings from him. She was the direct successor of the Master and known as the Apostle of the Apostles. Essentially Yeshua and Mirya (Aramaic for Mary) completed and fulfilled one another. In fact, Sophians place great import upon this Divine Union being the focus for much study and contemplation.
