" Mere belief cannot create anything in life, only action can, and it is here that we must begin our spiritual development: through conscious action, within. This leads us to the very meaning of the word Gnosis: personal knowledge acquired through experience. The true Gnostic does not believe, he knows because he has experienced it. "
