Gnostisim

Somehow, I was always curious about various secrets of this world. 

Because of that I read Wikipedia and various articles on the net.

However occasionally I read about various religions. Especially about those that have some sort of secrets about them.

I have no interest in some agnostic religion that simply says that God cannot be understood. He should only be worshipped. I have no interest or need for such good.

Same with religions who simply give people some rules to follow. I have no need for such rules. They are stupid.

However, some of the occult or mysterious things do interest me. I am of course skeptical and would not simply trust anything any of them say. Not every occult was born equal, some are nothing more than conventional religion inversion, who simply worship devil or some sardine heads instead.

However, some of them seem indeed wished for higher knowledge.

However recently I found out that there were other people like me who too wished to uncover secrets of the world. There were many of them some of them. Some of them managed to figure out something interesting indeed. 

Some of them called it understanding 'god'. However, god for them was not some person with power or creator of the world. They saw god as some form of principle or a logical formula that explains the world. They were determined to find this formula out. Much like mathematicians or physics try to find out furious formulas that govern their discipline. In this regard this can be called metaphysics. Physics of psychology or human consciousness possibly.

I think broader term for this kind of approach to live is Gnosticism. Gnostic movements and religions are many and diverse. Some are an offshoot of mainstream religions, such as Sufism is an offshoot of Islam.

Philosophers call this metaphysics instead. Some like Nietzsche whore a lot of what can be considered metaphysics. That is different from ethical philosophy that some other philosophers practice. 

The ethical philosophy is just like anti-gnostic religion that does nothing but gives you different set of rules to follow.

I have no need for any of their rules or their phony rule. I want to uncover all the secrets of the world and then rule it myself but pulling the strings from the shadows. 

Some mainstream religions can have Gnostic principle embedded in them. For example, Buddhism. Buddha is not some god or mystical creature. He was a man who figured out and understood some truth and secrets of this world. This understanding of these secrets is what made him Buddha and everyone who manages to understand them will become just as much of a Buddha as the original one was. That is why there are several famous Buddhas who each done their thing and many more obscure ones, who learned the truth and kept it for themselves. 

Anyone theoretically can become a Buddha. I would even claim I am one myself.
