The Gnostic Of Today

The Gnostic of today...[is] a perceptive man, his eyes turned towards the present and the future in the intuitive conviction that he possesses within himself the keys to his future, a conviction he must hold steadfastly against all the reassuring mythologies, the so-called salvatory religions and disalienating ideologies which serve only to hinder his presence in the true reality. For the important thing today is not so much to discover new stars as to break down the new frontiers that constantly arise before us, or which are delineated within ourselves, so that we may cross over them, as into death, with our eyes wide open.

~Jacques LaCarriere, The Gnostics, 128.
