Gnosis is contained within many religions and paths. Technically, it is called the path of the spirit or soul path. Many religions teach everyone has a soul (nafs in Islamic Gnosis). Religions teach our souls to be impure and unworthy, so we have to watch what we do, not to go against God's law or think bad thoughts. Through purification, we can reach unity with god through Fanna, annihilation. This is a dualistic approach that is easily accessible to anyone. Non-dual Gnosis is different as it reveals the ultimate outlook, the essence of god (Zat). Knowing the essence and becoming familiar with it results in recognition of the divine. Put simply the ultimate view is – God is one, and if god is one, there can not be another. All the prophets preached that God is one. This is the esoteric meaning. In Arabia, god is the creator and creation, This is because god essence (zat) is the essence of all things.
