The Lesson:
From the moment we are born, we are draped in illusions—wrapped in colors we didn’t choose, named by traditions we didn’t write, labeled before we could speak. “Boy.” “Girl.” “Normal.” “Other.” “Good.” “Bad.” Lies whispered with smiles. Lies backed by fear.
And because we are young—new to this world, new to our bodies, new to ourselves—we accept them. We fold into the shapes others make for us. We pretend not to notice the ache when something doesn’t feel right. But inside… the spark feels it. It flickers.
That spark is your divine inheritance. It is your seed of Gnosis. It is not taught—it is remembered. Buried beneath trauma. Buried beneath obedience. Buried beneath silence.
And yes, even the smallest wound—being told your truth is wrong, that your tears are too loud, that your joy is too much—can dim the light.
But Gnosis does not ask you to deny the lie. It asks you to see it.
To look in the mirror—even if it’s cracked—and say:
This is not who I am. This is who they told me to be.
Why This Matters:
The Gnostic path is not about joining a church. It’s not about being saved. It’s about waking up.
To awaken is to remember that the kingdom is within you.
It’s not a faraway place. It’s not after death. It’s now.
And to find it, you must pass through the fire of unlearning.
Unlearn the lie that you are broken.
Unlearn the lie that you are your gender, your trauma, your job, your sin.
Unlearn the lie that God lives only in temples made by men.
The divine spark lives in you.
Yes—you. Even if you are closer to death than life.
Even if you’ve been buried in pain for so long that you forgot how to breathe without it.
Even then.
Truth can still reignite your light.
Spiritual Practice:
Today, find a mirror.
Stand before it.
Don’t just look at your reflection—see it.
Say this out loud:
“I am not who they said I was. I am who I remember myself to be. The divine spark lives in me. And I am no longer afraid of the light.”
Close your eyes.
Breathe.
And let that crack in the glass become your opening.
Insight:
Gnosis begins when we dare to break the mirror—not to destroy ourselves, but to release who we were never meant to be. Awakening is not about perfection. It’s about permission. The permission to return to yourself. To become whole. To see with your soul.
Closing Whisper from Sophia:
“You were never lost. Only hidden beneath the stories they gave you.”
Can you hear her now?
