The One God, The Many Faiths (C): The Quest for Ultimate Knowledge
<p>"Gnosis" is a Greek word which means "knowledge" or "awareness" and it is precisely with this in mind that Gnosticism is born. Gnosticism can be best described as a mode of being that is optimal to for attaining the "Ultimate Knowledge". It is a state of mind and a mode of being that brings you closer to the Divine. Far from the dogmatic approach of institutionalized religions, Gnosticism seeks to focus on the spiritual aspects of religion. This spiritual approach to religion, especially with Christianity is exactly what many "Prophets" tried to introduce into a world that they saw as spiritually void, where the masses dare not to philosophize on their existence and only accept traditions and dogmatic practices for salvation. Emphasizing on the spiritual aspect, Gnostics seek to lead people to spiritual enlightenment. However, preaching enlightenment often means preaching against the orthodoxy, which only resulted in strife and divisions. Although, Gnostics form a minority of worshippers, their impact can be heavily found in many religions. Learn more about Gnosticism and how it impacted the major Abrahamic religions of its time and more on this latest episode of The 1001 Arabian Knights.</p>

Or perhaps God in flesh? It was this question above so many others which his followers had following his death and resurrection.

One Thousand and One Gods
<p>Born of smokeless fires and scorching winds. They are the shadows on the walls, the creatures of the night, the others. <br> Imagine a world, where sandstorms are mighty creatures settling their scores. Imagine a world where these creatures are soul mates and blood brothers, who imitate your every move and your every speech. They follow you around, live with you and eat with you - they can even enter your body and drive you mad. This is how the ancient Arabs viewed their world and the Djinn which inhabited it. Like us, good and evil live within them, but their terrible power and mysterious ways make them a source of fear and awe. In this world divination and sorcery abound. The sacred and the profane were known to all and the Gods were as numerous as the stars. <br> Join us as we discuss the indigenous religion of the Arabs, their Gods, and the Djinn. </p>
