→Gnosticism Has No Rules
===Gnosticism Has No Rules===
===Gnosticism Has No Rules===
Gnostics reject rules and believe that a person does not need rules to achieve salvation. It comes from within, by direct experiential understanding through individual practice. Although Gnosticism has no rules, neo-gnostics embrace and encourage certain attitudes, such as: non-attachment, respect for freedom and others. Whatever is inspiring and useful for spiritual insight is regarded as a revelation of truth. This can include the Bible and the scriptures of other religions, pagan, witchcraft, [[Kabbalah|Qabalistic]], Yogic, and Satanic, such as [[Thelema]]. (See [[Cafeteria Christianity]].) But these are not rules. Every Gnostic is urged to have his/her own individual practice personally suited to unfold personal spiritual development according to individual judgment of conscience and personal experience of what is interpreted [[intuition]]ally as "inner guidance", similar to the principle of ''[[sola spiritu]]''.
