The Gnostic teachings were central to the esoteric schools of all traditions. Even
though separated by time, space and cultural forms, they were linked together by a
common wisdom, a nexus which spans time and space to form a lineage of oral and
written teaching which continue to this day. In the earliest stages of man’s present
cycle we find records of this tradition in images drawn on cave walls, strange statues,
enigmatic diagrams and glyphs too distant to mean much to us now. It is really only in
Egypt that we start to find the first records of a fully developed esoteric system, one
which I may add, still seems unique in its beauty and complexity.
The school of Egypt in some sense forms the first link in a chain which spans history,
it can be linked to the early esoteric traditions of the Aryans, the Tantric schools of
Tartary, the fire priests of Zoroaster and the Mystery Cults of Israel. These form some
of the earliest nuclei from which later esoteric traditions evolved and developed. In
these forms we find some of the most complete occult systems taught and practised
throughout the Millennia. Since their demise the Gnosis has continued, albeit in a
different form. While these earlier civilisations offered racial and national centres of
the Mysteries, the traditions that followed were, for the most part, carried by secret
and clandestine bodies. Popularity when it did arrive, did not last for long and soon
again they made a hasty retreat to the shadows. Certainly this was true with the
Essene Gnosis as taught by Master Jesus, it was only a very short time after his
Transfiguration before the true teachings could only be passed in secret, and distorted
and twisted forms were offered in their stead by the military-political complex that
had become the Church.
Taken as a whole the Mystery teachings form what can be best understood as the
“Voice of the Gnosis” and it is from this voice that ultimately all authentic esoteric
teachings come. We have deliberately used the term “Voice” as it represents a living
force. Far more than just an academic exercise, the Gnosis is alive, it is a life
transforming vortex, it is the voice originating from a world from which mankind is
utterly alienated.

The teachings offered in these books may, at first glance, seem to have much in
common with materials you could receive from other occult, esoteric or spiritual
organisation, but there also much that is at variance. The unique thing about the
Gnostic tradition is that it really comprehends the condition of modern man and his
alienation from the energies which are the source of all illumination. While other
traditions may have “knowledge” to offer, until they come to terms with the nature
of the Cosmic battle - the Dualism which is at the centre of modern life, they cannot
hope to offer real initiation or real spiritual transformation. It is not enough to have
the right techniques or the latest rituals or tools, unless you know why they work
and what they need to be used for. Without insight, ritualism is of little or no value.
For until we know how to go beyond the things of the lower world there can be no
real wisdom or development. Even if we become masters of matter, unless we have
the power to escape its grip, death still arrives inevitably to the master or student.
The form we have used in outlining the Gnosis is to offer the original Mystery
teachings coupled with research and validation from modern sources. We believe
that it is of great value to see the way in which philosophical, scientific and
psychological research has validated much of what has been known for centuries
within the Gnostic schools. But this, of course, has it limits. While modern
psychology and science may agree with us that there are altered states of being,
even perhaps other dimensions, it is only the Gnostic who realises that through
“correspondence” the altered state can be used as a gateway to explore the world
outside. Certainly it is also only the Gnostic who undertakes the adventure to get
there.
By using the master keys provided in the Gnostic and esoteric traditions and
correlating these with modern research, The Institute for Gnostic Studies can offer
you techniques and theories which will change the way you experience yourself and
the world forever. And this, by the way, is the aim of the Gnosis, the transformation
of lead into gold, man into God, the transfiguration of the student from a seeker of
the Mysteries to “a partaker of the Gnosis”.
In the past such experiences have remained largely unexplored, they have been
dimensions only dreamed of by madman, experienced by mystics, mastered by
