Humanity's spiritual identity had always been associated with religion. Historically, there quite a number of religious wars between and among religious institutions. But one truth remained hidden in all of religious historicity, the universal nature of an ancient spirituality of the mind science.
The Fifth Science, an exclusive spiritual identity of the Authentic Gnostic Brotherhood has survived religious wars. The secretive society, cloaked in a millennial silence, was kept from mass consciousness and considered to be cult. Members suffered ridicule and persecution, especially from the religious believers themselves. The Druze were driven to remote mountains, living reclusive and austere lives. But this made the brotherhood more tightly knitted and the concern for their brethren was foremost. There are others who have fled their original homelands in the Middle East, although many have remained.
To those who have been separated from the brotherhood, the deprivation of their spiritual identity was felt strongly. The forbidden knowledge encoded in the Fifth Science is motivated and deeply influenced by the ancient wisdom of sacred Greek philosophers whom the Authentic Gnostics among the Druze regard highly.
A few years back, there were attempts to publish materials of Gnostic significance but the anti-Druze have managed to curtail and curb publication of the information on the Fifth Science. The popularity of the world wide web was also explored and little success was noted.
Eventually, a site found its way in the Internet domain containing the English translation of the Fifth Science. It was short-lived but the courage of the Authentic Gnostics prevailed and replaced the academic approach to the spirituality of the mind science. The new approach is an interactive mode wherein comments and discussions or sharing of experiences of Gnostic significance are posted in Blogs and Forum. It encourages anyone to visit the site, with the mind free from biases and negative notions about the Fifth Science.
Accordingly, the Authentic Gnostics believe that its effect is instinctive and instantaneous, although it will initially come incomprehensible to the human mind. This is because the Fifth Science is made of philosophical and cognitive values with the forbidden knowledge encoded into it. Furthermore, it is believed that the human mind is influenced by a behavioral tendency rather than the cognitive mind. With this tendency, existence is perceived inversely.
With the new site, there will no longer be the academic informative approach. Members and visitors are provided with tools within the site to post anything of philosophical, metaphysical or universal nature, regardless of ideology, religion, race or culture. It is a site where everyone can be comfortable and respect each other's opinion or comment.
The authorities in the spiritual mind science assure no biases towards their site visitors and would oblige to answer queries regarding the Fifth Science. This new interactive platform is a precursor to an online dialogue which will happen soon. Resources may accompany the spiritual dialogue in visual or written formats as long as these will facilitate and help in achieving a comprehensive and universal understanding of the Fifth Science, Druze or non-Druze alike.
