I will always be grateful for what you have done in this course, even though I had already studied what you have built here, to have this space available for anyone to have a direction is a blessing.

I am currently doing extensive research on what the Knowledge Of God means. And it is an empirical investigation, because when I elaborated my first inquiry where I understood about the Nous, the Gnosis and the Logos, as well as the Reverence and the Understanding, I was always accompanied by the Knowledge Of God as that which removes the veil of ignorance, as it is described in CHXIII, almost like an angel that supports Tat in his awakening.

And here I leave you a question / reflection, the Knowledge Of God really can not be written, even less experienced by the 5 senses, Hermes says that only the Eye of the Mind, if it has the strength will be able to see. I have been studying the concept of "rigpa" in Tibetan Buddhism as one author translates that concept as gnosis when talking about Longchempa.

And I know the question is difficult, but how do you relate to that matrix of information invisible to the senses, indescribable by the mind, which accompanies at all times the possibility of awakening from ignorance? perhaps more specifically, how do you strengthen the Mind's Eye to be able to receive the Righteous Vision of Truth?

Grateful always
Sirius

This is an incredibly important, but also difficult question. The knowledge of God can not be written, even less experienced by the 5 senses. Neither our body (physical senses) nor our reason (logos) can reach divine wisdom because knowledge of God is knowledge from God, and as we are not God this knowledge is not ours.

This may sound demotivating, but it does not need to be. The Nous and Logos of the divine are "mirrored" in us. Therefore through Logos and Nous, we can reach, or get a glimpse, of the Knowledge of God.

Do we "strengthen" the eye of Nous or do we remove the veil from this eye? How do we remove the veil? To answer this we need to know what the veil is. And to know this we first need to know who we are, from whom and from where we are, and why we are here.

A wise teacher once said. God is 1, you are 0. If you think you are 1, then God will be 0. There can be no two 1's.

So is like if "one self" remove "one self" from the equation of the whole phenomena, there will only be God to be experienced or looked at... 

Would that result in the understanding of that mirroring of the Nous and the Logos? this concept intrigues me, and yet i feel it to be a beautiful answered. 

If what we really are has nothing to do with "us", then Only God would arise, and the veil would fall. 

So ignorance (the torment of the Knowledge of God) would be the ego point of view, the identification with "some one that sees".
