Looking into gnosis can be a really hairy thing to go into. One major thing is, of course, to "gnosify" oneself by looking at things, mulling them over, and realizing. After all, Gnosis connotates "knowing."
So without further ado, I give you, the dynamic of gnosis:
Realize>>Concieve>>Accept>>Execute
Realize what facts are out there. Conceive of what they COULD mean. Accept the reactions you have, that the world has to such a finding or knowledge thereof to what knowledge you come across, or whatever you survey. Also accept the reality of what effects are to come from your realization, and what coming across this knowledge means, and how you change. Execute your newfound knowledge.
Then the cycle resumes:
REALIZE what you have done, and of the consequences of your actions, or of furthering a possibility by a certain tangent of thought, CONCEIVE of further notions, ACCEPT that as a possibility/reality when it is to come, and EXECUTE your will over such a possibility.
Now using this dynamic, it is wise to look at things at how they are all interconnected, preferably by means of mathematical divination and gematria. Possibly even alchemical reasoning, seeing as how gnosis was a preffered approach among them. For instance:
"The steps of the dynamic were of a count of 4. 4 corresponds with the number of main elements. There is a parallel of dynamic with each of the dynamic steps, and the dynamic method in which the elementals move and process, especially true in instances of metaphor."
Another gnostic reasoning:
"Music uses a base of 8 for it's counting. Music is a measurement of sound. Sound is a measurement of frequency and vibration. The universe has such vibration. Thus, music is always true as a proof, and thus, a count 8 base may be used in many and most instances of gnostic reasoning under the stars."
Now take this!!>>
"4 is a factor of 8, which is a multiple of 4. Perhaps then, music and the elements may have something to do with each other??" (IMG:

Be careful! unless one is properly rooted, they will VERY QUICKLY be taken off their guard into a state of "Gnostic Insanity"
....I forgot who was the one that quoted, "One half genius, one half insane." This is very true.
With gnosis running wild, one will slip into a schizoid state. BE CAREFUL!! (IMG:

Have fun.
