The State Preceding This Existence<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\ud83d\udd39 Are you aware that you are ignorant? And do you admit it?
\ud83d\udd39 Could ignorance be the origin, and knowledge merely the exception?
\ud83d\udd39 How can knowledge emerge from ignorance, as light emerges from the heart of darkness?
\ud83d\udd39 Is existence the key to understanding what came before it\u2014or is understanding what came before it the foundation?
\ud83d\udd39 And how is all this related to the idea of the Holy Trinity?<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd39 Is gnosis merely a spiritual experience, or is it a form of knowledge that can one day be transformed into technology?
\ud83d\udd39 How can science turn this type of knowledge into a tangible reality?
\ud83d\udd39 Are we moving toward making gnosis accessible to all? And is every human being inherently capable of becoming a gnostic?<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve said this before and we say it again: this phase of gnosis is among the most difficult\u2014not only for those receiving intellectual knowledge, but even more so for those living the actual experience.<\/p>\n

It could be said that the high-ranking gnostics, when they reach this phase, often remain there for long periods\u2014some never leaving it until death\u2014unless they acknowledge their ignorance. As Plato said about Socrates in his famous statement: \u201cI know that I know nothing.\u201d<\/em> True knowledge begins with the admission of ignorance.<\/p>\n

No matter how much knowledge the gnostic attains, they must admit that certainty about this phase remains out of reach\u2014for now. Those who refuse to acknowledge this remain trapped in this stage, incapable of grasping the true nature of existence.<\/p>\n

Some gnostics have gone even further, suggesting that even if we one day understand this phase, there will always be one that precedes it\u2014entirely unknown to us.<\/p>\n

Thus, ignorance remains ever-present. From here comes the gnostic saying: \u201cIgnorance is the origin, and knowledge the exception.\u201d<\/em> There will always be a phase we do not understand, no matter how much we learn. And that is what keeps driving humanity toward knowledge\u2014because ignorance is the primary motivator for inquiry and discovery. That\u2019s where gnosis comes in as a path to salvation: one pursues it because they do not know. Without ignorance, knowledge would not be a means of liberation\u2014just as without darkness, there would be no need for light.<\/p>\n

If you wish to know, you must first acknowledge and admit that this phase\u2014what we call \u201cabsolute void\u201d\u2014is completely unknown. It is the beginning, the source of this existence. But calling it the beginning or source does not mean it is the first or only phase\u2014there may be others entirely unknown to us.<\/p>\n

Yet what matters here is not the unknown phases, but the one that immediately preceded this existence\u2014for understanding it is key to understanding existence itself.<\/p>\n

That is why high-ranking gnostics, who have attained enlightenment, return to this existence\u2014not aimlessly, but to understand what can be grasped, leaving the unknown to remain unknown. They know that \u201cif the whole cannot be known, at least part of it should not be abandoned.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Their focus is on what can be understood, rather than getting lost trying to comprehend the utterly unknowable at this stage.<\/p>\n

Our presence in this world is an opportunity to understand at least this existence\u2014because it might one day lead us to pierce the unknown and illuminate it with knowledge.<\/p>\n

The key point here is that \u201cthe absolute void\u201d is the mysterious phase that directly preceded this existence. Research stops there\u2014until a day comes when we can understand it\u2014whether from within this existence or from beyond it.<\/p>\n

This does not mean that what preceded the absolute void does not exist. It simply means we cannot speak of it before we understand the absolute void itself. For now, we must return to this existence and reflect on how it emerged from that void\u2014how light was born from darkness.<\/p>\n

As you know, the high-ranking gnostics differ in their views about this completely unknown \u201cabsolute void.\u201d They fall into three main schools:<\/p>\n
