7 Fold Year Long Program of Study

Deep Gnosis is an internal pilgrimage into ever deeper layers of the unconscious according to the ancient Nazirutian Manichaean Stream of Gnosis...(cont.)

The following is a private study program schedule consisting of seven seven week "seasons". Its purpose is to put into context some of the Teachings and to overlay them over the ancient 50 day seasons observed during some periods of the Gnosis which arose in the west, especially those influenced by the Summerian Babylonian calendar. (Another system of five 10 week Seasons was observed in more eastern expressions of the Gnosis and it can be found here.)
