Book: Echoes From The Gnosis Vol I The Gnosis Of The Mind by George Robert Stowe Mead
The first instalment in the Echoes From the Gnosis series is itself an echo of Mead’s qualification of the Hermetica as the ‘Religion of the mind’. He celebrated the Hermetic gnosis as the gnosis whichhas as its foundation the Single Love of God, it endeavours to base itself upon the True Philosophy and Pure Science of Nature and of Man, and is indeed one of the fairest forms of the Gnosis of the Ages. It is replete with Wisdom (Theosophia) and Worship (Theosebeia) – the Religion of the Mind. It is in its beginning Religion, true devotion and piety and worship, based on the right activitiy and passivity of the Mind, and its end is the Gnosis of things-that-are and the Path of the Good that leads man unto God. (pp. 8-9)
Echoes from the Gnosis(1906) is a series of monographs under the title Echoes from the Gnosis (recently republished in a centennial edition) summarizing his insights into the formation of the Gnostic world-view. By this time Mead had published eight works on various aspects of the early Christian world and on “The Theosophy of the Greeks.” Together With his outstanding Translations of the Hermetic books, these works established his reputation as one of the foremost English scholars in his broadly chosen fields. Mead was the first modern scholar of Gnostic tradition. A century later, the corpus of his work remains unequaled in breadth and insight.
