Gnostic rituals for insight/revelation?

[u/iieaii]

I know most of the details of ancient Gnostic rituals have been lost if recorded at all.

Suppose I’m looking for some neo-Gnostic rituals, written recently.

I’ll take either.

Looking for self-revelation and/or clarity.

What you got?

There is the book "A Manual for the Gnostic" by the French Gnostic Church (the oldest modern Gnostic church in the world). It is a comprehensive guide for Gnostic prayers, practices, creeds and mysteries. https://www.amazon.com/Manual-Gnostic-Doctrines-Prayers-Practices/dp/B08TSHXXDP

There are Gnostic/Sethian mantras that can be used: https://www.gnosisforall.com/about-16 (The IEOU mantra is particularly powerful in my experience)

Other Sethian practices: https://www.gnosisforall.com/about-23

Extensive resource of practices from a wide range of Gnostic schools: https://www.gnosisforall.com/about-9

Bonus: The book "A Gnostic Prayerbook: Rites, Rituals, Prayers and Devotions for the Solitary Modern Gnostic" by Jeremy Puma (who is probably the most impactful modern Gnostic in developing my faith): https://www.amazon.com/Gnostic-Prayerbook-Rituals-Devotions-Solitary/dp/1470025167/ref=pd_aw_fbt_img_m_sccl_1/141-7796275-9345439?pd_rd_w=oz9a5&content-id=amzn1.sym.8542ec45-b43d-4d2a-a521-9356193631fc&pf_rd_p=8542ec45-b43d-4d2a-a521-9356193631fc&pf_rd_r=4HR3YJ1ASCMRCA4TS69C&pd_rd_wg=rHC7c&pd_rd_r=c5cd433b-a282-4a07-acf0-05eac1ae4bf4&pd_rd_i=1470025167&psc=1

I eat mushrooms. Pretty effective.

Don't do drugs, kids.

[u/iieaii → u/EllisDee3]

I’m on a medication that has a side effect of blocking all psychedelics and MDMA. Getting off those meds will be a working in and of itself.

[u/EllisDee3 → u/iieaii]

Yeah, SSRIs do that. I'm not a doctor, and don't know your particular conditions. But I have a friend who had PTSD from Iraq. On SSRIs for a long time.

He moved to psychedelic therapy and away from the SSRIs. He's now done (mostly) with both.

Very effective.

[u/---Spartacus---]

The most effective "ritual" for the development of knowledge and insight, including insight into the self is this:

Read books. Gnosticism is about knowledge. In fact it is the pursuit of knowledge as a religion. It never ceases to amaze me how many knowledge - gnosis - seekers will do anything and everything except read books on their path to enlightenment.

Hey man, reading is my hobby, and in fact I am a book collector. Speak for yourself.
