Although the book is somewhat terse and to the point, it is not without a wealth of substantiating detail. \u00a0 \u00a0More details will be found within the mind of the reader himself\/herself while thinking through the book. \u00a0It should be read and re-read several times over a period of time, not only to refresh the memory about what it reveals, but also as a reminder and to shed more light on how the statements in it correlate with the reader\u2019s own experiences in advancements in thinking capacity, reasoning, and insight.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0 \u00a0There are various subtle processes continually operating in the individual mind not usually detected or understood. \u00a0 As we become more and more aware of these, many of life\u2019s conflicts and frustrations are revealed in their hidden simplicity and the solutions to all kinds of problems can be suddenly, obviously known.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0 \u00a0The book is purposefully compact and dense, serving as a short but powerful stroke that can cut the root of a large, poisonous weed, doing away with the source of the poison itself, instead of engaging in extensive plucking at the various parts of the weed itself in hopes of keeping it manageable by continual pruning.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0 \u00a0The book is structured in a very linear fashion, building an idea pattern based on a problem and a solution to it. \u00a0 Within the analytical part of the book there is a progressive dialectic revealing how errant reasoning develops slowly into blatant delusion. \u00a0 The next step in delusional thinking produces motivations that become the hidden aspects of nearly everyone\u2019s problems.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 The last chapter shows explicitly how to win the victory over the hidden problem and incorporates the best of both Eastern and Western esoteric formulas for profound meditative and contemplative practices.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0 \u00a0\u2014 The Author<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>next chapter 1 The Problem<a title=\"Gnosis ch. 1 the problem\" href=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/gnosis-ch-1-the-problem\/\"> click here<\/a><\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/DSCI1265.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1268\" src=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/DSCI1265.jpg\" alt=\"Gnosis preface\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/DSCI1265.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/DSCI1265-150x113.jpg 150w, http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/DSCI1265-501x376.jpg 501w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GNOSIS A PHILOSOPHICAL\u00a0PSYCHOLOGY CONCERNING\u00a0THE EMERGENCE OF INDIVIDUATED\u00a0HOLISTIC\u00a0INTELLIGENCE S.
