Answers from the books of Samael Aun Weor
Since Gnostic studies have substantially progressed in recent years, no one would make the naive mistake — as in the past — of ascribing the Gnostic teachings to an exclusive spiritual tendency.
Although we must certainly take into account the Hellenistic, Oriental elements of any Gnostic system, and the ones coming from Persia, Mesopotamia, Syria, India, Palestine, Egypt, etc., we cannot ignore the Gnostic principles present in the sublime religious cults of the Nahuas, Toltecs, Aztecs, Zapotecs, Mayans, Chibchas, Incas, Quechuas, and others, in Pre-Columbian America.
Frankly speaking, let us say that Gnosis is a very natural function of the Consciousness; it is a philosophia perennis et universalis.
