Gnostic Liberation Front Precisely because the Gnostic Way is a total view of life, Gnostics maintain that religious convictions are a person’s personal business. The Gnostic does not seek to ‘convert’ anyone. They know no one code of worship, no one exclusive creed, no one religion, is suitable for every human being on the planet. Each person should follow a religion in keeping with their inner nature. They must find the faith that resonates with their interior condition. One 3rd century Gnostic teacher observed, “Each person will see the Lord in his own way, not all alike.” In an effort to safeguard occult knowledge, Gnostics opposed the Christian Church’s compromise with Imperial Rome. However, this did not mean they opposed politics or were apolitical. While condemning the corrupt Roman Church, along with its tainted worldly ambitions, Gnostic adepts fought resolutely for justice, spiritual freedom and a communal society. In the 18th and 19th centuries, with the end of the Middle Ages and the birth of capitalism, spiritual seekers imbued with the Gnostic vision opposed the vain worship of Money with the same vigour their forebears resisted the false Church with its monstrous view of the deity. gnosticliberationfront/gnosis_and_the_metaphysical_left.htm
