    Do You have a path of Gnosticism you admire or prefer?

    I believe that each walks an individual path, with certain common elements. Personal Responsibility and following inner guidance are major points in my path at the present. I find inspiration in many religions but am devout to none. My belief as well, seems more philosophy than anything else.

Not taking personal responsibility for one's actions and desires. I personally do not understand how any one who could meditate deeply...
