What is Neon Gnosis?

 

Gnostic Animism is the name I’ve given to my offerings because I feel that it eloquently summarizes my approach to Spiritual Practice. I will briefly explore these words so you can have a sense of what they mean in this context.

Neon is the name for one of the noble gasses on the periodic table. I chose this word for its connotation  to vibrant lights and sounds; evoking imagery of a futuristic, psychedelic, metropolis. I learned later that Neon (or Neos) is a Greek word meaning new, fresh, and novel – fitting perfectly with my hope of inspiring people to bring freshness and novelty to the world of spiritual practice.

Gnosis is another Greek word meaning Knowledge. There are many religious groups in early Christianity who are referred to as “gnostic” because it was important for them to have a connection to the spiritual realm as individuals. Individuals in these religions sought to develop and tend to their personal connections with the divine which allowed them an experience of “Gnosis” or Divine Knowledge. Here we use it in a similar sense as the Ancient Gnostic religions; a sense that characterizes, not just a connection with Divinity, but also the ability to understand and articulate that connection for ourselves.

The name Neon Gnosis is intended to illustrate my intention to help individuals discover and maintain their own bridges to divine wisdom - this includes connections to Spirit Guides, Ancestors, Earth Spirits, Deities and so on – creating new and novel pathways to Spiritual insights and Universal Wisdom; bringing NEW KNOWLEDGE into the world. When we discover and share new ways of connecting to the Divine, we are embodying our soul’s highest potential. Through embodying our soul’s highest potential, we help the world get a little bit closer to its highest potential. Through discovering our unique Neon Gnosis, we heal the world.
 

 

What is Animism?

Animism is the recognition and the ever-unfolding realization that everything[cr1]  – every “thing” – in existence, even so-called inanimate objects, have their own individuality or spirit. And that spirit is connected with the Life force of the Universe. This Universal life Force is known by many names across many traditions but It is most often known as an all pervading energy that exists within everything and cradles everything within itself. It is our innermost Truth as beings of this realm.

Animism as a way of understanding the world is Gnostic in its very nature. There are many animistic cultures and they all have their own unique experience of living in harmony with the Earth. Animism is something that most humans have been forced to forget through colonization. It is my experience, that Animism is innate to our nature as beings of this planet. Years of brutal trauma inflicted by other wounded humans have left immense energetic wounds and scar tissue throughout our ancestry – energetic wounds that remain until we are able to tend to them. Through Awakening, we take on the responsibility of tending to these wounds with fierce compassion and bravery in the face of ancient trauma.

Neon Gnosis: Gnostic Animism is my contribution to a world consumed by vivid digital information – blinding lights. An electric metropolis, distracting us from the living wisdom of planetary and spiritual connection. Awakening is possible amidst these blinding lights. I am here to be an ally to those who are ready to awaken to the Spiritual Dimension within themselves. I am here to help you bridge the gap to that dimension and allow its light and wisdom to flow through you.

Together, we are removing the middleman and rendering obsolete, the gatekeepers of Spiritual knowledge.
 

 

 

You ARE the connection you seek.
