Gnosis is, in its essence, a natural faculty of the consciousness that perceives reality as it is objectively, without the intervention of the thought process, prejudices, preconceptions, etc. Through self-knowledge (Nosce te Ipsum), the anthropological study of past civilizations, of the diverse religions of the world and of the mystical, mythological and philosophical currents of the history of humanity, the Gnostic student will discover the keys and the necessary tools to deepen and awaken in himself this lost faculty.
The Gnostic Institute of Anthropology is a non-profit organisation officially recognised in many countries. The mission of the GIA is the diffusion of Gnosis, a mystical and timeless teaching, as it was given to humanity in its modern form by the V. M. Samael Aun Weor. The GIA World Headquarter is an international organisation based in Mexico that oversees and directs a multitude of Gnostic associations around the world.
Founding President of the International Gnostic Movement, he is the establisher in our time of the Gnosis of yesterday, today and always. In this sense, we must say that Master Samael Aun Weor is the continuer of the work undertaken by the enlightened intelligences of superior knowledge, by those who from time immemorial crystallized in themselves the divine Gnosis or eternal wisdom, and worked for the awakening of the consciousness in man. For more than thirty years he worked tirelessly, leaving a great legacy of literary works of psychological, philosophical, anthropological and scientific nature, of incalculable value for humanity.
Wife and collaborator of the V. M. Samael Aun Weor, V. M. Litelantes was a titanic support in the work of her husband. In 1977, she took on assignment the leadership of the International Gnostic Movement and worked with great sacrifice for the preservation and dissemination of the Gnostic work. V. M. Litelantes struggled for 21 years for the consolidation and expansion of the International Gnostic Movement until she disincarnated on February 5, 1998.
