How are the gnostic classes run in Kanagawa?
Classes are offered multiple days of the week from 7 to approximately 9 pm. Each class consists of a talk and a guided meditation practice. Practices range from introductory techniques for relaxation, breathing, and meditation to keys that can be applied in daily life. No previous experience is needed.
A weekly course of 33 lessons will follow the public talks, usually continuing on the same night of the week, and will serve as a foundation for the further development of the study of esotericism and the science and ethics of meditation in a more in-depth manner.
The study and practice of Gnosis is limitless.
What kind of commitment is required?
For the public introductory course, anyone is welcome to attend one, some, or all of the classes being offered in the series. For those with an ongoing interest in studying at the Kanagawa Gnosis Center, weekly classes will continue, going deeper into the topics introduced. As the classes and practices build on each other, consistent weekly attendance is expected. However, if at any point you decide you no longer want to continue, you are free to stop with no further obligations.
What does it cost to attend the Kanagawa Gnostic center?
The Gnostic teachings have no monetary cost, as they are considered priceless. However, this does not mean they lack value. Supporting a center financially is something that should be done of one’s own free will, in the spirit of continuing the dharma.
All Gnostic centers belonging to our organization worldwide are non-profit and operate solely based on contributions. Gnosis is not a business, and no one involved in running a center makes money from their services. Running a center is truly a labor of love.
Public classes are supported by voluntary donations. For those who wish to continue with the weekly course, a contribution of ¥1000 per class per person is greatly appreciated to help cover the costs of running the center, such as rent, utilities, and printouts. Some students, with greater financial capacity, donate more, while others with limited resources may contribute in other ways. Financial limitations should never be a barrier to attending the center and its classes.
““My advice to you, whoever you may be. Oh! You who desire to explore the mysteries of nature. If you do not discover within yourself what you seek, neither will you find it without. If you ignore the excellence of your own house, how can you aspire to find excellence elsewhere? Within you is hidden the treasure of treasures. Oh! Man, know yourself and you will know the Universe and the Gods.”
- Temple of Aplollo
