The goal of Gnosis is to become God
From the Greek, the concept of “Gnosis” is translated as the highest esoteric knowledge and pure wisdom. Philosophical schools, within which there was continuity from Teacher to Student and direct transmission of Gnosis, were called “Gnostic”, and their philosophy was called “Gnosticism”. It is interesting to note that until the end of the 4th century AD, before the Roman Catholic Church declared war on heresies, there was Christian Gnosticism, which was widespread throughout the Mediterranean coast.
The Gnostics considered man to be a threefold structure - body, soul and Spirit. The central idea of Gnosticism was the romance of Spirit and Soul. Ancient myths based on this idea personified the Soul in the role of an abandoned and abandoned woman, seeking unity with her lover, with whom she was forced to part for certain reasons.
According to what was written above, let us ask ourselves: do we understand the myths of antiquity well?
One of the beautiful myths that tells about the Gnostic Wedding Union, when the Spirit took the Soul as a wife so that, blossoming under His guidance, it would bring good to man and the world, is the myth of Eros and Psyche.
The myth tells how Eros, which means "Love" in Greek, falls in love with a beautiful girl named Psyche, which means "Soul" in Greek. Subsequently, Eros and Psyche are separated, and Psyche herself is exiled by Aphrodite to the world of Hades - the world of the dead. After which Eros, tormented by a thirst for love, descends into the lower world and finds Psyche, rescuing her from hell. He asks Zeus to intercede for him, who ultimately blesses their union, and Psyche becomes an immortal Goddess.
In the Gnostic sense, this myth tells of the interrupted union of Spirit and Soul. Psyche, exiled to the world of the dead, personifies the Soul, which was born in the world of Matter and was thus separated from its Divine beloved - the Spirit. Having passed the tests in the world of the dead, having received and experienced experience, Psyche is kidnapped by Eros/Spirit from hell. Thus, the Spirit abducts the Soul from the captivity of Matter and spiritualizes the Soul.
After the Spirit abducts the Soul from the hell of the Material world (the Gnostics personified the Material world with the world of the dead, with hell), the Soul becomes immortal, becoming a Goddess in an eternal Marriage Union with its Divine Beloved - the human Spirit.
The myth says that the connection of the Heavenly/Divine with the Earthly/Material through the unity of Spirit and Soul should occupy a central place in the life of every person. In alchemy, the union of Spirit and Soul was called the “Alchemical Wedding” or “Great Work,” which was the True Goal of any Alchemist.
A person is not only a physical body. His Immortal Spirit dwells in Worlds inaccessible to perception from an earthly scale. Through a mature, developed, spiritualized Soul, which is the source of his deep feelings and experiences, he is connected with His Spirit. The Slavs speak of such a person as a Magnanimous person, as opposed to a cowardly person, whose sphere of interests does not extend beyond material concerns. Through an open and developed Soul, a person’s Spirit penetrates his life, gently and unobtrusively changing it in such a way that a person gets closer to his destiny.
Man is the embodiment of Earth and Heaven. But only by having played the Alchemical Wedding on the inner plane, by revealing his Soul to the Spirit, is man destined to become God.
That is why Hermes Trismegistus, the greatest philosopher of Antiquity, said: “The goal of Gnosis is to become God.”
