The Greek word gnosis (knowledge) is a standard translation of the Hebrew word "knowledge" (דעת da`ath) in the Septuagint, thus:

The Lord gives wisdom (sophia), from his face come knowledge (gnosis) and understanding (sunesis)" — Proverbs 2.6. Philo also refers to the "knowledge" (gnosis) and "wisdom" (sophia) of God. Gnosis is the practical, fact-based knowledge of [[Consciousness]] that guides us to fulfill our highest potential and directly experience our spiritual connection with Life, to be a knower of purpose and feel the source of our innate happiness.

==Gnostic Jesus and the Archons==

In Gnostic literature, Jesus comes from the ultimate, transcendent spiritual realm to bring [[Gnosis]], secret spiritual knowledge, in order to expose the [[Archons]] and their leader, the [[Demiurge]], running amok as [[False Gods]] who try to keep humanity in spiritual darkness through [[Spiritual Warfare]].

Early Christian Writings such as the Apocryphon of John depict Jesus explaining that he actually worked secretly inside human history to help humanity against the [[Archons]] attempts to control and enslave mankind. Gnostic interpretations often view the [[Crucifixion Implants|crucifixion]] not as a payment for sin, but as an event where the corporeal shell was left behind while the true eternal spiritual body of [[Guardian Yeshua|Jesus]] eluded the archons of this dark age. <ref>[https://www.earlychristianwritings.com/text/archons.html Early Christian Writings]</ref>
