About Us

Our purpose is to deliver Gnostic Teachings to seekers of truth using the latest technology to reach even the most isolated candidates. Doctrine of the Synthesis Here, we teach the 'Doctrine of the Synthesis', since these teachings synthesize the most important aspects of all major religions and esoteric systems of past and present in one doctrine. Nevertheless Gnosis is not a derivative of any one of these systems. Gnosis predates all religions and systems, and is not the property of any individual or group. Rather, it is a timeless and perennial knowledge.
Hence we may also be considered a Fourth Way School.
The first three ways are:
The fakir works to obtain mastery of the attention (self-mastery) through struggles with the physical body involving difficult physical exercises and postures.
The monk (or nun) works to obtain the same mastery of the attention (self-mastery) through struggle with the affections, in the domain, as we say, of the heart, which has been emphasized in the west, and come to be known as the way of faith due to its practice particularly by Catholic religious.
The yogi works to obtain the same mastery of the attention (as before: 'self mastery') through struggle with mental habits and capabilities.
The Fourth Way
The Fourth Way is a quicker means than the first three ways because it simultaneously combines work on all three centers, rather than focusing on one as is done in the first three ways. This method can be followed by ordinary people in everyday life, requiring no retirement into the desert, or a cave.
The Fourth Way does involve certain conditions imposed by an Instructor, but blind acceptance of them is not encouraged. Each student is advised to do only what they understand, and to verify for themselves the veracity of the doctrine's ideas. The Fourth Way requires supreme effort to devote oneself continuously to inner work, even though one's outward worldly roles may not change much at first, if at all.
The fourth way differs from the other ways in that the principal demand made upon a man or woman is the demand for understanding. You must do nothing that you do not understand, except as an experiment under the supervision and direction of an Instructor. The more a person understands what they are doing, the greater will be the results of their efforts. This is a fundamental principle of the fourth way. The results of work are in proportion to the consciousness of the work. No "faith" is required on the fourth way; on the contrary, faith of any kind is opposed to the fourth way. On the fourth way you must satisfy yourself of the truth of what you are told. And until satisfied, do nothing.
By its very nature, the Fourth Way is not for everyone. The so-called "secret knowledge" of this transformational system is not "hidden", but most people are simply not interested.
By bringing together the way of the Fakir (Sufi tradition), the way of the Yogi (Hindu and Sikh traditions) and the way of the Monk (Christian and Buddhist traditions, amongst others), a complete transformation of the individual may be achieved.
