Now administering third eye drops. Noes, means knowledge, and it means a kind of transcendental spiritual knowledge that comes from a higher level of

intuitive embodiment that is restorative in some way in our true identity, in true identity with the one with the source of the source.

I mean it plays well with the mystic traditions. It plays well with eastern, some of the eastern traditions as well.

Nostocos is the Greek word. with some of the Eastern traditions as well.

Nostakos is the Greek word from which it comes

and which is referenced by Plato.

Welcome back to the transmission, my friends.

I will admit it.

In years past, I probably admit it. In years past I probably misused, abused, probably confused, the word

nostick in my earlier days of autodidactic, esoteric romping before I really knew what was what

as if I do now.

And I think it's easy to do because it's one of those words that feels mysterious, cool, occulty, like you're not a sheep if you use it.

So why not just slather it like a esoteric ranch over the top of any vaguely kind of alternative inward facing spirituality,

right? But I have tightened things up in that respect at least and I'm glad I did because one it's just lazy and two it muddies the waters on what it really is the wisdom that it really points to.

Though the more you dive into Gnosticism,

you do find that it's incredibly wide-ranging and vague.

Maybe it really is the ranch dressing of her sociological esotericism.

But on that note, what is its history, its philosophy, its metaphysical outlook, maybe more importantly, since we're talking about

Gnosticism here, it's Inlook.

How can Outlook be so common and there is no in look.

Who are its major figures and texts and what vital and heavily suppressed even persecuted

wisdom does it have to share with us?
