Include Your Gnostic School in the Community Print E-mail
Wednesday, 04 February 2009 11:55
There is an enormous need for solid, dependable Gnostic Schools teaching in English. As Glorian Publishing continues to spread the teachings of Samael Aun Weor around the world, there are many new students who need a local school, and come to us for assistance. It is our goal to help them as best we can to find a school in their area. Thus, we invite all Gnostic schools and institutions to come together in humanity’s hour of need, and help us build a comprehensive and trustworthy resource that students can rely upon as they seek for a school or group.

Schools who participate in the Gnostic Community website receive the following benefits:

  1. Worldwide visibility
  2. A place to present articles, school description, class outlines, instructor lectures, student testimonials, etc
  3. A user account in the name of the school (i.e "NYC Representative")
  4. A contact listing in the School Directory (coming soon)
  5. An online calendar for the school
  6. A "gnostic-community" email address
  7. A highlighted listing in the Google Map
  8. Discounts on books and videos
  9. A discussion forum area for students of that school (optional: can be private)

And, there is more to come.

Glorian Publishing is a non-profit organization whose goal is to spread awareness of Gnosis and Samael Aun Weor. Glorian is not affiliated with any particular movement or lineage of instructors, and provides books and other services to anyone and everyone. However, in the case of the Gnostic Community website, due to our responsibility to preserve the integrity and purity of the Gnostic teachings, we will only list schools who share the same conscious ethic, and maintain the tradition established by Samael Aun Weor. As such, schools who apply to be listed on our website must uphold these vital aspects of our tradition:

  1. Schools must teach humanity freely and openly, without requirement of fees or dues, burdensome rules, or other obstacles
  2. Schools must teach the entire doctrine, based upon the entire canon of books and scriptures, without removing from it or adding to it
  3. Schools must preserve and perform the authentic Three Chamber structure
  4. Schools must actively oppose the disease of mythomania

Schools and groups from all movements, organizations, and traditions are invited to participate in the Gnostic Community, provided they satisfy these conditions.

We are interested in working with your school for the benefit of the many souls in your area who need assistance. However, you should know that inclusion in this site is contingent upon each participating school abiding by some simple guidelines.

Lineage

It is important for the sake of those souls that the aid they are given corresponds to that specified by the Gnostic Church and its primary exponent in this age, which is Samael Aun Weor. This is why our websites are concerned with the teachings of Samael Aun Weor and not his students or disciples. Samael is the Avatar of Aquarius, and it is his teachings that the Gnostic Church is delivering in these critical moments. Our community is focused only upon Samael Aun Weor and his teachings, not his students. This point of view is an important part of our website policies, and will be strictly kept. This is in order to preserve the legacy and teachings of Samael Aun Weor, and keep them free of personality and politics. It is upon this basis that we establish all of our work, and likewise receive the benefits from above. Our websites and other projects are the direct "cause and effect" result of our practical, doctrinal, and patrimonial approach. We welcome all Gnostic groups and schools to participate in the Community website, but we cannot support any diversion from this policy.

Diversity is Unity

We at Glorian Publishing believe that the diversity of Gnostic Movements is a reflection of the diversity of knowledge in the Gnostic message, the splendor of all the world’s religions, and the beautiful complexity of God’s creation. We respect the right of every missionary and instructor to teach according to their idiosyncrasy. Likewise, we know that humanity needs a variety of groups and schools who differ from one another, just as groups of people or religions differ from one another yet all are valued in the eyes of God. Therefore, the site administrators will not tolerate any political, personal, or doctrinal criticism. It is important to teach and clarify the doctrine, but we must do so without criticizing and gossiping about others. It is vitally important that all instructors conduct themselves with the utmost kindness, patience, and respect for others: in other words, TOLERANCE.

Privacy

Samael Aun Weor stated "Personality destroys spiritual groups." Therefore, we seek to keep our personalities passive and humble, in the service of the Spirit.  We allow no personal names, photos, or other materials on the site. This is to reduce the impact of personality on the community, and to protect the privacy of everyone who participates here.

There is no charge or fee to participate in this project. Donations are tax deductible and deeply appreciated, and help us to pay the many expenses of our operations.

To apply, please answer the questions in the Application Form (below) and return it to the School Coordinator for due consideration.

If you have questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact us.

Sincerely,

Glorian Publishing

and

The Volunteer Staff of the Gnostic Community website
