Gnosis: The Secret of Solomon's Temple Revealed

by Philip Gardiner

Many people have no understanding of what the word gnosis means, others think that it simply means knowledge and leave it at that. Yet there is a deeper meaning. It is a word that gives rise to the title Gnostic, or one who has special knowledge. The true definition of the term gnosis is the direct mystical experience of the Divine in the self. It is the realization of the true nature of ourselves, and cannot be discerned through intellectual dogma or doctrine, but only through experience.

Slow burn

Book doesn’t focus on Solomon temple enough for me but makes some good points when it actually touches on Solomon’s temple.

this is a great book...gardiner has gained deep insight from his secondary research of hundreds of books, as well as,
primary research performed during his travels...his diverse background, intelligence and curiosity gives him keen insight in discovering the meaning of ancient symbolism and allegories...he has a way of connecting things and seeing them for what they really are...i highly recommend this book!

Interesting, well researched. I personally do not share some of the author's conclusions, but his work is quite respectable.

Fantastic. A clear and concise analysis of ancient symbolism concerning the universal worship of the kundalini power.

Except for brief forays into history and etymology, in general, a load of baloney.

Audio book from the library. Research (of sorts).
