Gnostic = Gnosis
Gnosis = Knowing
gnosis - intuitive knowledge of spiritual truths; said to have been possessed by ancient Gnostics intuition - instinctive knowing (without the use of rational processes)
It is an impossibility to accurately describe 'Gnosis', to one without it.
GNOSIS = DIRECT KNOWLEDGE
GNOSIS = NO PRIESTS
GNOSIS = NO PROPHETS
