Karma - Evolution & Devolution

τέλειος (teleios) is a Greek word for:
(1) that which is perfect;
(2) consummate human integrity and virtue;
(3) the realization of one’s ultimate purpose in life

We find τέλειος in the Bible, when St. Paul states, "We speak wisdom [σοφία, sophia] among them that are perfect [τελείοις, teleios]… We speak the wisdom of God in a mystery [μυστήριον, mustérion], even the hidden [ἀποκρύπτω, apokruptó] wisdom [σοφία, sophia], which God ordained before the world unto our glory… " – 1 Corinthians 2

We understand there is a hidden side of every religion which has been largely forgotten. This hidden wisdom can be called gnosis. We study gnosis as it is found in the great world traditions, especially the hidden or esoteric levels of instruction. For example:
✝ Christianity: Gnosticism, Alchemy
✡ Judaism: Kabbalah
☸ Buddhism: Vajrayana
🕉 Hinduism: Yoga Sutras of Patanjali
☪ Islam: Sufism
☀ Ancient: Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Mayan, etc. mystery traditions
