Beyond Faith lies the direct perception of the Divine!
Gnosis is knowledge combined with experience; action directed spontaneously by the Will. Gnosis
requires no belief and no faith, but direct, conscious experience of the self
and the world in which we live. It
means to act impeccably.
"To us, every phenomenon is an Act of Love, every experience is necessary, is a Sacrament, is a means of Growth. Hence, '...existence is pure joy;...' (AL II, 9) 'A feast every day in your hearts in the joy of my rapture! A feast every night unto Nu, and the pleasure of uttermost delight!' (AL II, 42-43)." -The Master Therion Magick Without Tears, Ch.VIII

L.V.X. on the spiritual plane is reflected as light on the physical plane of existence. Eliphas Levi says:
It is through this Force that all the nervous centres secretly communicate with each other; from it--that sympathy and antipathy are born; from it--we have our dreams; and that the phenomena of second sight and extra-natural visions take place...Astral Light [acting under the impulsion of powerful wills] ... destroys, coagulate, separates, breaks, gathers in all things...God created it on that day when he said: "Fiat Lux!" ... It is directed by the Egregores, i.e., the chiefs of the souls who are the spirits of energy and action.
"I do not mind a background of love properly subordinated to the true interest of life... It is the sacrament by which man enters into communion with God." -The Master Therion Confessions, Ch.61
