		Gnosis was distinct from the secret teachings they only revealed to initiates once they had reached a certain level of progression.
		The term Gnosis is related to the sanskrit jnana (as in Jnana Yoga) and to the Hebrew daath, which is the hidden sphere in the Kabbalah, or that knowledge which was only given to the initiated.
		Gnosis is the name of magazine [2] published between 1985 and 1999 in California as a "Journal of the Western Inner Traditions" covering traditions of spirituality and mysticism.

	Gnosticism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term gnosis is a Greek word expressing a type of understanding or consciousness gained through personal experience.

		It is known that Valentinus' students, in further evidence of their intellectual activity, elaborated upon the teachings and materials they received from him (though the exact extent of their changes remains unknown), for example, in the version of the Valentinian myth brought to us through Ptolemy.

	Gnosis
		In short: the term "Gnosis" has come into wider usage from circa mid 19th century, having become more and more clearly defined after the discovery of the Dead Sea scrolls and, generally, on many meetings of professionals in various fields (anthropology, comparative religion, religious psychology....) after WW2 (congresses in Bologna and other academic centres).
		The essential prerequisite for Gnosis, its fundamental postulate is the recognition of "divine spark" within, ie, an individual "immortal entity" that is not of "this world", nor a part of empirical psyche.
		Gnosis is practically incompatible with pantheistic or panentheistic worldviews: Upanishadic or Whitmanian visions of Reality are not gnostic ones.

		In contrast, the Gnosis architecture produces errors that have specific reference to which row of which object is in error (see previous article on Business Rule Management).
